Chapter 384: The Power of Forty Flames
Badaojiang was also among the auxiliaries, and the scene in front of him also shocked him. As a martial arts person with good kung fu, he used to be very conceited, and even few people under one-on-one could convince him. But now, seeing this accurate and magical marksmanship, he knows that those so-called kung fu masters, once they encounter such an accurate musket, a guy who can easily take people's lives hundreds of feet away, I am afraid that the advantage will no longer exist at all, and they can only be slaughtered by others.
"No, I have such a good thing, and as long as I am willing to work hard to train, I will become this kind of sharpshooter who shoots wherever I want." Badaojiang set a goal for himself in his heart, not only him, but also many temporary auxiliaries had such thoughts. At this moment, they are more desperate than ever to join the mercenaries. If it was said that in the past, it was just to eat and fill the stomach, but now they have a higher pursuit, and they want to become the most powerful soldiers in the world.
Under the burst of gunfire from Chen Bo and Leng Feng, the Yellow Bandit Army suffered a loss, and no one dared to show their heads. At this time, Regiment Commander Luo Po rushed up with two companies of Leng Feng.
"Commander, give me half an hour, I will lead Leng Feng to charge the city, and I will definitely capture the city." As soon as Chen Bo saw that the head of Luo Po had arrived, he stepped forward and took the initiative to ask.
"How can you storm a city without a ladder? Okay, you've done a good job, let's look at the head of the group. Luo Po patted Chen Bo on the shoulder, just now he gave the other party a chance to perform well, and now it should be his turn.
The official level crushed people to death, not to mention that he had already made meritorious contributions just now, even the turn should be Luo Po's turn. Chen Bo immediately retreated to the side with his previous army. Leaving Luo Po, the head of the regiment, confidently took two hundred elite cold fronts to the bottom of the Zhaoqing City Tower.
At some point, he had an extra megaphone in his hand. He first glanced behind him, and after the two hundred Leng Feng had already set up a formation and made preparations, he raised his head to look at the city tower and shouted, "The people in the city listen to the head of this regiment, now that your Cheng Yuan has been captured, it is just a battle of trapped beasts, if you open the city gate now, you can atone for your sins, but if we attack the city, it will be the time when you will die and have no place to be buried." Now give you ten breaths of time to decide. Come on, get ready for rocket artillery! ”
Two hundred Leng Feng had been waiting for this order for a long time, and as soon as Luo Po's voice fell, five Leng Feng walked out of the queue, each of them carrying a 40 bazooka on their shoulders, raising their cannon barrels and aiming them at the city tower.
The other Leng Feng was holding the ninety-five and staring at the city tower, but if anyone dared to show their heads, they would shoot unceremoniously.
The four-zero rocket launcher, commonly known as the "four-zero fire", has a caliber of 40mm, a launch canister mass of 5.6kg, a launch canister length of 910mm, a projectile diameter of 85mm, a projectile mass of 2.1kg, and a direct firing distance of 300m......
Although the 40 fire has high requirements for the stability of kneeling and standing shooting, it is also a convenient and portable siege device, after all, its power is huge, as long as you grasp the initiative on the battlefield, you can shoot at will.
After the adjustment of the five 40 fires, the first shell rose into the air and smashed straight into the tower of Zhaoqing City.
"Boom!"
The huge fire suddenly lit up, even though it was daylight, there was still a flash of fire, and when it fell on the city wall, not only did it smash a big hole, but the strong explosion caused people to tinnitus and heart palpitations, and they were terrified.
Under a cannonball, the yellow bandit soldiers on the city tower trembled. They didn't dare to look down the tower, and naturally they didn't know what brought such power, but their intuition told them that such a thing was very powerful, and they were afraid that it would be extremely difficult to deal with.
However, the soldiers under the city, whether it was two thousand temporary auxiliaries or four thousand Ming troops and thousands of yellow bandits who had just been captured, were all frightened by the formation in front of them. What kind of artillery is this, how can it be so powerful, and it looks so "short and convenient" can really be called an artifact in the army.
Under a single shell, debris flew and there was no movement on the castle tower. Then the second and third shots were fired one after another, and one of them hit the battlements of the city wall, blasting the tower away, not to mention a piece of the debris that was knocked away, and the flying rubble flew in all directions, wounding several Yellow Bandits hiding here.
"Don't you surrender yet? You only have four breaths left. Luo Po saw the results of the four zero fires, his eyes were full of confidence, and as soon as his hand fell, another bazooka flew to the city wall, lifting off a piece of city skin.
"We surrender, don't fight, we surrender!"
Only four shells bombarded out, and the fighting spirit of the Yellow Bandit Army on the city tower was completely crushed. I didn't dare to show my head at all, and I couldn't fight back, so I just waited for death, and this battle was a wreck. It is better to surrender than to sit and wait for death, but to lose your life. As for whether Huang Gongzi will ask them for their guilt after losing Zhaoqing Mansion, he should also go to General Cheng Yuan, not these ordinary soldiers.
The sudden appearance of the four zero fires, Zhaoqing Mansion gave up, and even the city gate was not affected in any way. Waiting for Yang Chendong, Guan Ying and General Ma Wei to arrive here, the city gate had already been opened, and Leng Feng and the auxiliary soldiers had already entered it to maintain law and order and captured the prisoners.
Outside the city gates, only 4,000 Ming troops, 100 auxiliaries and 400 temporary auxiliaries stood outside watching the prisoners. When Ma Wei arrived here and saw that none of his subordinates had entered the city, he couldn't help but ask angrily, "Why don't you enter the city, but stay outside?" ”
"Back to the general's words, they didn't let me, saying that they had to sort out the military supplies in the city before letting me and others enter the city." A thousand-captain ran in front of Ma Wei and said with an aggrieved expression.
"Yes, presumably General Ma should know that the emperor did not give any military funds to the mercenaries, so he allowed us to take what we like first when we occupy a place, and General Guan Ying knows this." Yang Chendong saw this scene, so he said this with a smile on his face.
Guan Ying, who was on the side, heard Yang Chendong mention his name, so he had to say with a bitter face, "Yes, this point is indeed authorized by the emperor." ”
Seeing that Guan Ying and Ma Wei were a little displeased, Yang Chendong knew that this was caused by an imbalance in his heart, so he immediately said: "That's it, the military supplies will be picked by the mercenaries first, as for the military merits, all the military merits can be attributed to you, and the bandit leader Cheng Yuan can also be handed over to you, at least how to write the battle report, that is also your business, you can write it beautifully, even if all the military merits are given to you, it doesn't matter, how about it?" ”
Yang Chendong made a concession, and Guan Ying's Ma Wei's face was a little more joyful. If there is no war merit and no capture, then there is really no point here. Fortunately, you can still get some benefits, and you don't have to put much effort into it, let alone work hard, which is also a good result.
After thinking about these things clearly, the two immediately clasped their fists and made a gesture at Yang Chendong to show their gratitude.
......
Yang Chendong made concessions, and the battle report was drafted by Guan Ying and then shown to him, most of which recorded how brave and good the Ming army was. Guan Ying and Ma Wei sent the war report to Nanjing and Kyoto in an expedited manner of 800 miles.
A few days later, a fast horse entered the city in Kyoto, shouting all the way to the palace.
When the people passing by saw this scene, they were all excited and inspired, and sighed that Yingzong was worthy of being the orthodox emperor, and he had won many battles, and it seemed that the rebellion in the south would soon be resolved.
In the palace, Zhu Qizhen saw the battle report, and saw that it took less than half a day to get back to Zhaoqing Mansion, and killed the enemy and captured nearly 10,000 enemies, and he was overjoyed at the moment. Guan Ying and Ma Wei, who had made meritorious contributions, were rewarded, and encouraged them to make persistent efforts to completely exterminate the Yellow Bandits as soon as possible, so as to calm their hearts.
From beginning to end, Zhu Qizhen still didn't mention Yang Chendong, as if this person didn't exist at all, as if the victory ahead had nothing to do with this loyal prince and Lord Qincha. But in fact, everyone has a scale in their hearts, that is, most of this victory has a lot to do with loyalty.
If not, why do you always lose before? Is it true that victory will be achieved now?
It's just that the emperor's heart is changeable, and he doesn't mention Yang Chendong's contributions, who dares to mention it? There are even some people who are thinking that once the Yellow Bandit Army is destroyed, will it be the time to cross the river and tear down the bridge. This kind of flying birds are exhausted, and the matter of hiding the good bow does not know how many times it has happened in all dynasties.
Eimune in Kyoto was overjoyed to have won the battle. Huang Yuliang's son of Wuzhou Mansion lost Zhaoqing Mansion, and his face was ugly.
I think that when he led a heavy army to besiege Zhaoqing Mansion, it took more than ten days, and later it was because Zhaoqing General Jia Ping was greedy for life and afraid of death, so he took the initiative to abandon the city, which gave him the opportunity to enter the city and occupy the city. But now that Nanming's army had occupied the city in half a day, wouldn't it seem that he was too incompetent in comparison?
"What to do? What to do? In the hall of the mansion, Huang Yuliang summoned a group of big and small leaders and asked the people below.
When the wind was smooth, these leaders took the lead in the battle one by one, showing their heroic and fearless appearance. But after suffering defeats one after another, when asked who could counterattack Zhaoqing Mansion, no one answered, and it was obvious that these people were frightened and scared in their hearts.
Huang Yuliang, who was sitting on the top, asked several words one after another, what should I do? The people below still had no answer, and in a fit of rage, he wanted to order. It was also at this time that Zhu Fangyong, who was relied on as one of his henchmen, stood up, "Childe, the last general has something to say." ”
