Chapter 596: 110,000 people are disarmed
Estuary.
"It's all target shooting!"
Standing behind a breastwork on the north bank of the Yan River, Ye Feng held up the binoculars and said.
Beside him, along the breastwork that had just been piled up not long ago, countless Ming soldiers placed their rifles on top of the breastwork, and then comfortably repeated the process of loading and firing, because there was no need for a high rate of fire, they no longer even stuffed the chamber with the paper shell, but reloaded according to the regular standard, although the rate of fire decreased slightly, but fortunately it was still enough, because their opponents were paddling the fifty zhang wide river.
This is the green battalion of the Qing army that has withdrawn from the south.
Before, they were approaching Huaxian all the way, but the Ming army that suddenly came out of the mountains shattered their dreams, and the original form of the army of more than 100,000 began to rout for thousands of miles.
But at this time, it is not easy to want to rout.
The two infantry brigades of the Ming Army, which had been hidden in the mountainous areas around Fogang, quickly cleared a small number of Qing troops on the north bank of the Weijiang River by boat, and built a defensive position at the crucial Jiangkou, turning the Jiangkou into a steel fortress......
Of course, this is just an adjective.
In fact, the Ming army simply piled up a breastwork wall on the side of the river.
But this breastwork is sufficient.
Because Qingyuan was occupied by the Ming army, the Qing army had to go north along the Yuantan River from the eastern foot of Feixia Mountain, and they had to open the river mouth to retreat north, whether they took the waterway or the plank road along the Beijiang River or the Damiaoxia plank road to the east to Fogang, and then took the mountain road north to Yingde, they had to open the river mouth first. In order to escape, the poor Qing army could only use their few boats and even a large number of rafts to play forced crossing here, while those Ming troops standing behind the breastwork were comfortable to play target shooting, under the guns of the two brigades, the dead bodies of the Qing army filled the river, and slowly flowed into the Beijiang River in the blood-red river water and then continued downstream.
"This is a river of blood flowing westward!"
Ye Feng said with emotion.
At this time, there was a thunderclap in the sky.
He looked up and a drop of rain fell, which soon turned into a summer downpour.
The artillery of the Qing army, which was still providing cover, instantly became dumb.
But at this moment, the Guangzhou general Iribu, who was commanding on the south bank of the Weijiang River, showed a look of surprise......
"It's raining, God bless the Qing Dynasty, the guns of the bandits can't be used!"
He screamed excitedly.
The soldiers of the Green Battalion, who were returning from the rout in front of him, looked at him with idiotic eyes, and Iribu smiled awkwardly, then lowered his head in shame.
Obviously, this trick didn't work.
He could still deceive those green battalions who didn't know the situation before, but it was obvious that it was not so easy to deceive people at this time, not to mention that the gunfire on the other side did not stop, but the artillery of the Qing army, which could barely provide cover, was all dumb in the heavy rain. The Qing troops who had just reached the middle of the river rowed back in confusion, and on the breastwork of the river bank behind them, those Ming soldiers kept repeating the action of loading bullets and firing in the rain, leisurely aiming at the river and even aiming at the south bank of the Qing army in chaos to continue to shoot targets, while those Qing troops crowded each other and trampled to the south, and even the artillery abandoned their cannons.
It shows that the range of the military rifle is no worse than that of the mountain splitting gun, and even the gunners of the Qing army are often hit by bullets.
In the midst of the confusion, Irib quickly began to undress.
Beside him, Goshha handed over a set of green camp numbers with great discernment, and the Guangzhou general couldn't take care of it, and hurriedly changed into the clothes of a green battalion soldier in the disdainful eyes of the routed soldiers who crowded around him, and his own soldiers also changed into the clothes of the green camp, and then squeezed into the rout with his master.
Iribu looked back at the line of fire on the north bank with embarrassment, and hastened to turn around and flee south amid the whistling of shells overhead.
It's useless to do anything at this point.
The 110,000 army was squeezed into this small area, on one side was the Beijiang Sanli wide river, on the other side was the mountains that stretched for hundreds of miles, behind it were the pursuers who could already hear the sound of artillery, and in front of it was an impenetrable defense line......
Let's save my life first!
Iribu walked forward with a lonely face, and soon the heavy rain and mud made him indistinguishable from those routs, and even a few generals did not recognize him, and at this time the entire Qing army completely collapsed, those generals and Eight Banners soldiers flocked to the mountains and forests on both sides in confusion, and those green battalions and regimental exercises walked aimlessly. They actually don't know what happens to them after they are captured, although all kinds of news say that the army will release and dismiss after capturing the green battalion, but their generals say that these bandits are cannibalistic, and these green battalions and regimental training are not local, and most of them do not understand the language of the locals and it is difficult to communicate, but it is impossible to say that they will resist.
Iribu just walked aimlessly in the midst of the Green Battalion's rout, and then ......
"What the hell is that?"
He looked at the river surface of the Yuantan River in front of him with a stunned face, on the surface of the river, a red dragon hugging the sun and moon flag was approaching, and the flag was planted in a red boat that I don't know what it was, this boat was very small and bigger than a table, there were no sails and no oars, but it moved forward quickly on the river, and a person on the boat showed half of his body, this person was covered in gold armor, wearing a golden helmet and even his whole face was covered by golden armor......
Iribu's legs suddenly went limp.
At the same moment the boat turned and headed straight for the riverbank, revealing its red hull, and Iribu realized that what he had just seen was only a small part, fastened like a pot lid on a larger red hull, and on this pot lid there was a small muzzle, like the muzzle of a raised gun. Then an even more stunned scene happened, the strange ship actually drove directly onto the riverbank, and on each side of the strange ship there was an iron belt-like thing, constantly turning and crushing the dirt below, making a strange cala sound and rushing straight to this side.
The soldiers of the Green Battalion, who also saw this scene, screamed in fright and dodged, and a lid on the front of the strange ship was lifted, revealing a figure wearing a Ming army uniform, and this person then took out a trumpet-shaped object and put it to his mouth......
"The Great Ming God Emperor has arrived, and you won't take it quickly!"
His voice rang out immediately.
The green battalion routs looked at each other blankly.
"The sinners knock on the God Emperor, long live the God Emperor, long live the God Emperor!"
Iribu was the first to kneel down with a non-existent horseshoe sleeve, and kowtowed to the mountain and shouted long live with the standard etiquette of bowing to the emperor, just like he knelt down in front of Daoguang, he did this set of actions perfectly, and the shout of long live long live long live was also extremely standard, and at this time, those defeated soldiers reacted and knelt down in confusion, and then shouted to Yang Feng with various accents.
BMP2 infantry fighting vehicle ......
Uh, this is Yang Feng from Russia to buy a private collection to retire, and then repair and decompose it into several pieces and reserve it in the warehouse, and then Xiao Qian threw it over piece by piece and welded it together, in this era, it is very dangerous to make a horse-drawn chariot, the God Emperor needs a more reliable chariot, obviously this thing is more suitable, amphibious, the protection ability can definitely block the spherical cannonball, including the 30 mm machine gun is also repaired, there are also artillery shells made by Yang Feng himself, this is the first appearance of the God Emperor chariot.
On the turret of the BMP2 infantry fighting vehicle, Yang Feng looked around with a majestic face.
"God, God Emperor, please God Emperor spare the lives of the little ones!"
A soldier suddenly shouted with courage.
Then immediately after that all the soldiers began to beg for mercy.
"Spare you? If I don't kill you, I don't care about you, if I don't beat you, how can I spare my life? ”
Yang Feng said.
"Uh, what does the God Emperor do with the small ones?"
The soldier asked cautiously.
"You're from Sichuan, right? Those who are willing to go home will be paid five taels of silver for the journey, and those who are unwilling to go home will be incorporated into the army, and the soldiers of the green battalion are all coerced by the Tartars, and the war with the king division is also a last resort. ”
Yang Feng said.
The Green Battalion soldiers immediately cheered.
"God Emperor, I heard that God Emperor distributed the land to the people?"
The soldier asked, excited.
"Yes, how can you liberate regardless of the place?"
Yang Feng said.
Those Green Battalion soldiers were instantly boiling.
"Get up, wait here for Master Wang to come over, someone will arrange for you, at that time, what choice do you want to do directly to them to sign up, then you, don't get up!"
Yang Feng pointed to Iribu, who was about to get up together, and said.
"What else does the God Emperor command?"
The latter looked at him with a smile on his face.
"What's your name?"
Yang Feng asked with a deep smile.
"Uh, criminals, criminals, Liu Fu, the general of the foreign affairs committee of the general army of Yunyang Town, Luying, Hubei."
Iribu said.
He is very cunning, he must not be a soldier at his age, the foreign commissar has changed the total from the ninth grade, and the Ming army will deal with the officers of the green battalion to the level of the thousand generals, and no matter how low it is, it will be treated as a soldier.
"Why do you speak Beijing?"
Yang Feng asked.
"Sin, the ancestral home of the criminals is Beijing, and the local pronunciation has not changed."
Iribu said tremblingly.
He was already thinking about slapping himself, and it was clear that he had forgotten that the most important thing about hiding his identity was not to do much.
"My ancestral home is Beijing, but I went to Hubei to be a green camp, so you are very standard in this courtesy! This is a ceremony performed by the Ministry of Rites, right? You are a general manager of foreign commissions who are actually qualified to visit the court, and those who have been to the court are still a general of foreign commissions, do you think I am old and faint and can be deceived at will? Peeled off his clothes for me, it's silk inside, right? You're a commissar who has made a good living! ”
Yang Feng sneered.
The Green Battalion soldier was the first to rush forward, and then, together with a few soldiers, quickly stripped Irib of his clothes.
"Well, it's still a red belt!"
Yang Feng immediately laughed.
Iribu looked at the red ribbon that he habitually forgot to understand, and cold sweat came out instantly.
