"Bang bang bang" was another row of roaring gunshots, and the red-clothed musketeers of the Ming army in the second row also pulled the trigger. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Roaring gunshots rang out, and after the white smoke dissipated, the corpses fell all over the Qing artillery.

"Rush forward! Grab the cannon of the Tartars! Deng Fan yelled.

As long as the artillery of the Qing army is snatched, this battle will be won.

More than a hundred sword players shouted and rushed towards the artillery positions of the Qing army. Before the people could rush to the scene, the knife players took out the grenade on their waists, pulled the string, and threw the grenade at the hand-to-hand combat soldiers of the Qing army who were about to come up to protect the gunner.

The continuous sound of explosions sounded again, and the dense hand-to-hand combat soldiers of the Qing army were blown to pieces.

The hand-to-hand combat soldiers of the Qing army who did not die had already been frightened, and they turned their heads and ran away, and no one dared to come up again to fight to the death with the Ming army. Taking advantage of this almost, the Ming saber player rushed to the Qing artillery position, waved the steel knife and slashed and killed, driving away the gunners on the Qing artillery position.

In the blink of an eye, the Qing gunners ran out, and dozens of cannons were thrown indiscriminately on the position.

The artillery positions of the Qing army were lost, and more than 10 heavy guns, more than 20 general guns, and more than 30 Franc machine guns all became trophies of the Ming army, as well as mountains of solid shells, shotguns, powder barrels, etc., which were piled up on the position, all fell into the hands of the Ming army.

The Ming army, which followed closely, occupied the artillery position, and these artillery pieces fell into the hands of the Ming army, and they were immediately turned around and fired at the positions behind the Qing army.

At this time, the soldiers on both sides relied on the trenches and fired at each other with muskets, because of the cover of the trenches, the losses caused by the musketeers on both sides to the opponent were very small, but the Ming army bombarded the Qing army's position with captured artillery, and the shells fired at close range posed a great threat to the Qing army.

The cannons captured by the Ming army were only 100 steps away from the third and fourth trenches of the Qing army, and at such a close distance, these cannons were used as large muskets, and the shells fired at close range continued to accurately fall in the trenches of the Qing army. Even though it was only a solid shell, every shell pierced into the trench could be seen stirring up a mist of blood. The mud parapet on the edge of the trench, the wooden fence above the trench, the wooden parapet, were all reduced to pieces when they were hit by shells.

The shells pierced the earthen wall, shattered the wooden fence and wooden parapet, and hit the human body, and the Qing soldiers who were shot immediately turned into a canopy of scattered blood mist.

The two sides relied on the trenches to shoot at each other, and they were originally evenly matched, but the Ming army had captured artillery, so it obviously took a great advantage. Guo Weifan was so anxious that he shouted: "Come on!" Rush up and take the cannon back! ”

Well, at this time, people on both sides are relying on the trenches to shoot at each other, which fool dares to take the lead, isn't it immediately beaten into a hornet's nest? In a hurry, Guo Weifan shouted: "Whoever is the first to rush up will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver and promoted to the next level!" Those who recapture the cannon will be rewarded with 500 silver, and the official will be promoted to the third level! ”

There must be brave men under the heavy reward, and there are really more than 300 Qing officers and soldiers who want money and don't want their lives to stand up and form a death squad.

"Kill the dog! Take back the cannon! Rewards! "A bearded Qing officer led a death squad and charged the first and second trenches occupied by the Ming army.

Before attacking, more than 300 Qing soldiers who wanted money and did not want their lives first enjoyed the special offerings of the Eight Banners or Nanyang brand high-end cigarettes, and drank a large bowl of spirits, and only after they had gained courage before launching the attack. The spirits provided on the battlefield are also the finest liquor produced by Nanyang Company.

Although there was already distilled liquor in the Yuan Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, Li Shizhen also recorded the spirits, and the "Compendium of Materia Medica" recorded: Shochu is not an ancient method, since the Yuan Dynasty, its method uses strong liquor and dregs into the retort, steaming the gas, using a vessel to take drip dew, and all rancid liquor can be steamed. Recently, only glutinous rice or millet or rice or barley are steamed, and koji is brewed in an urn for ten days, steamed well with retort, it is as clear as water, the taste is very strong, and the wine is covered with dew. However, at the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, spirits were not very popular, and due to the limitations of distillation technology, the alcohol content was not as high as it was later.

Nanyang's distillery has developed a high-alcohol liquor that can be used for drinking on the one hand, and as an alcohol-disinfectant liquor on the other hand. Some of the finest high-quality liquor was packaged and sold to the Qing Kingdom.

After these high-grade wines entered the Qing Dynasty, they were very popular, especially in the cold regions of the north.

Each of the daredevils either smoked enough good cigarettes, or smoked enough Eight Banners special offerings, and then a large bowl of liquor poured into their stomachs, and their courage suddenly increased, and everyone felt as if they were invulnerable.

"Kill the dog!" The bearded Qing army officer drew his waist knife and pointed at the position of the Ming army.

Hordes of Qing troops jumped out of their positions and launched suicidal charges into the trenches occupied by the Ming army.

"Fire!" The command knife in Zhao Dong's hand pointed forward.

Rows of smoothbore guns with bayonets spewed fire, white smoke rose up, rows of bullets drilled into the crowd of Qing troops, and the Qing troops who were charging frantically became much thinner. However, the Qing soldiers who had been stimulated by the special offerings of the Eight Banners, tobacco and alcohol did not flinch, and were still charging frantically.

"Fire!" Deng Fan roared.

The cannons captured from the Qing army roared, and the cannons that had been replaced with shotguns spewed dazzling fire, and countless tiny iron bullets erupted from the barrels of the black holes, sweeping past like a storm.

At this moment, all the remaining Qing soldiers were knocked down, and there were few who could still stand.

The bearded Qing army officer was lucky not to be killed by the platoon of guns, nor was he beaten into a sieve by the shotguns, but still roared, and continued to charge with the remaining ten or so Qing soldiers.

"Bang bang bang" dozens of crisp gunshots rang out, and the Ming stragglers who were lying in ambush opened fire, and the rifled guns fired high-speed rotating bullets, knocking down all the last dozen or so Qing soldiers.

The position returned to normal again, and only the Qing musketeers in the trenches who were still firing at the Ming army were left.

The Ming saber player, who temporarily turned into a gunner, was nervously reloading the shells under the command of Deng Fan. Although Deng Fan studied infantry, he studied in the military academy, and every officer knew how to operate the cannon and know the charge of the artillery. Under his command, the knife player can be used as an artillery crew on an improvised basis.

These makeshift artillery, if they were fired from a long distance, would certainly not be accurate. However, if you shoot at a target of about 100 paces, as long as you load the shell and aim at the target and ignite the artillery, the distance is so close, a fool can hit the target.

The artillery loaded with solid shells opened fire again, and the shells smashed into the Qing trenches. Although the trenches could hold off bullets, they could not stop shells at close range. With each round of artillery fire, the trenches were left with a large mass of mutilated corpses and shocking fragments of flesh.
