Chapter 691: A Prince's Last Journey (2)

Gao Yang is willing to go out in the middle of the night to walk at night, and he has to rush for time. The only reason he chose this place was that he could set up his artillery position on top of a black platform. With the Manchu army's extreme contempt for the Ming army at the moment, and the style of arrogance that has always been. They are bound to attack on their own initiative. At that time, more than 150 Napoleonic cannons of all sizes erected on the black platform in Gaoyang will bring endless surprises to the Manchu army.

After the Han Dynasty, the Central Plains, because of the large population, in order to obtain land for planting crops, led to great damage to the ecological environment. As a direct result, wildlife is rapidly decreasing. After losing their primary source of meat, many people suffer from vitamin A deficiency due to a lack of fat intake. That is, you will suffer from night blindness.

This situation was particularly prominent in the late Ming Dynasty. Because this time is the Xiaoice period, who can still eat meat regularly when the crop yield is greatly reduced? Especially those poor families who only have a pair of patches and pants?!

Most of the sergeants of the New Army in Gaoyang were rural peasants, and they couldn't even eat enough to eat in the past, let alone meat. In the beginning, almost all of them became blind at night. This matter may be a very troublesome thing for others, but it is not a matter for Gao Yang.

Isn't it just meat? Isn't it just a carrot? Isn't it cod liver oil? Isn't it just an egg? Isn't it just nutritious and delicious? Gaoyang has it all. He doesn't ask you what you want, he just asks how much you want.

From the first day they enter the barracks, the recruits consume a variety of rich nutrients. After such a long period of conditioning, almost all of the night blindness and other things disappeared. Coupled with the strict military discipline, there was no problem with the march at night. Gao Yang also distributed individual flashlights to each of the sergeants!

As for the Manchu side, there were not many soldiers without night blindness. At least not enough to support them for a large-scale night march. In this way, Gao Yang seized the first-mover advantage. Be the first to arrive at the battlefield and set up your position. After that, it was just waiting for the Manchu army to come and send him to death.

......

In the dim night, more than a dozen sentinels riding full of Qing and white flags leisurely urged the war horses under their crotch to move slowly on the official road. They were all the Ba Yala, the most combat-ready white-armored soldiers in the Manchu army. The guard camp after entering the customs.

Each of these bayalas is a battle-hardened veteran. They were professional warriors, the most elite of the Manchu Qing dynasty. There are only a dozen Bayalas in each cow. Because it's well equipped. Well fed. Most of these baralas do not have night blindness. The important task of the night sentinel fell on their heads.

Although it is said that the Manchus looked down on the Ming army very much. But as a soldier, and now it's wartime. It is impossible for them to lower their standards of action just because the enemy is too weak. Pre-war reconnaissance and battlefield cover still need to be done. These Bayalas were the elite spies who went to the Ming army to find out the news.

At this time, they had just left their camp for more than ten miles, and they felt that they were still within their own sphere of influence. Therefore, these more than ten Bayalas did not pay much attention to the surrounding situation. One or two, talking and laughing, leisurely and slowly riding forward on the official road. No one noticed the faint flickering light in the dark woods on both sides of the official road!

"Bang bang bang~~~" In the dark night, a dense huge shooting sound suddenly sounded. There were many bright fires flickering in the woods on both sides of the official road, which flickered and disappeared.

The babas didn't react at all, and in an instant they were beaten into a sieve by the dense firepower, and they tumbled and fell off their horses.

It was the nobilizers of the Forces nouvelles who were shooting. These soldiers, who can be called the most elite in the new army, set out early to explore here. has been quietly hiding in the woods on both sides of the official road, waiting for the appearance of Manchu sentry agents. They came to hunt.

There were hundreds of muskets firing in this round of shooting. They are a pot with people and horses. By the dim moonlight, all the faint blurred figures on the official road were knocked to the ground. Then he drew the sharp sword he was wearing. Light up the individual flashlight. Divided into several battle groups and quickly swarmed up.

The ambush worked well, and the eleven Bayalas and the twenty-two horses they were carrying were all thrown to the ground. At this moment, the white armor they wore had been dyed bright red by the red blood. It looks like I've jumped ship and gone to the red flag.

The wounded and undead horses knelt on the ground and screamed loudly. The three Bayala, whose hands and feet had been broken, struggled to draw their swords in an attempt to make a last, desperate resistance. Looking at the Ming army that was surging up densely, they knew that they could not be spared this time, and now they only wanted to be able to pull a few pads before they died in battle.

The spiritual will of these northern men is extremely terrifying. Massive buckshot broke their hands and feet with kinetic energy, revealing the red and white flesh and bone stubble. These sergeants are still thinking about resisting! They can even draw knives! The Manchu army of this period was indeed extremely brave.

It's a pity that they encountered an elite army led by cyborg soldiers. The cyborg warriors don't have the consciousness of heroic sympathy. The only thing they have to do is complete the mission and kill the enemy. Nothing else is their business. They don't understand either.

"Bang bang bang!" A few more gunshots. The few Bayalas who had just raised their swords fell in a pool of blood with unwilling faces. The Ming army is too cunning, and the one who puts the gun in the distance is not a hero!

"Oh~~~" The eyes lit up, and the excited sergeants rushed up with a roar. Reach out and pull away from Bajala's helmet. Grabbing the tail of the money rat and lifting it upward, the sharp war knife in the hands of the companion on the side suddenly waved over. In the midst of the blood shootout, a great head was separated.

The Ming army, who was carrying the tail of the money rat, tied his head with blood-red eyes on his belt. Raise your head and want to see the next one. It's a pity that wolves have more meat and less meat, so there are not enough for so many people. All eleven heads were cut off.

"Fuck, how did you do it so fast?" Zhou Qi, who was tall and dark-faced, spat and scolded hatefully. He was a butcher by training, with neat hands and feet, and a lot of experience. Just when I tied up my head and wanted to do another one, everyone else had already finished working. A head is a hundred taels of silver. Although it is said that all those who participated in the war were divided together, the one who cut off his head first had an advantage in calculating his military merits. What is military merit? That's a good field and a good life ahead! Who doesn't want it?

"That's it!" After the cyborg soldiers who led the team inspected the battlefield. He shouted in a deep voice, "Hurry up and clean up the battlefield and prepare to leave." ”

More than 100 Ming soldiers hurriedly dragged the corpses of men and horses to the woods on both sides of the official road and threw them indiscriminately. More than a dozen sergeants carrying buckets came up and rushed at the bloodstains on the official road. And after that. This army that did not collect at night quietly disappeared into the vast night.

On this night, more than 100 people were ambushed and killed! You must know that the entire bayala with white flags is only 500 people! Dodor was about to vomit blood in distress.

The new army with advanced reconnaissance equipment and night vision equipment. Ambushes were set up everywhere on the official road dozens of miles long, and more than 100 Bayalas and more armored soldiers were swallowed one by one. All the sentinels sent out by the Manchu army were eliminated. They don't even know how they were exposed. Because they can't understand what high-altitude reconnaissance equipment is, and what night vision devices are!

By the time Dodor received the shocking news, it was already dark. He personally led an army of more than 10,000 to march forward. With so many pairs of eyes watching, it is impossible to wash away all the blood on the ground anyway. If you dig a little into the woods on both sides, you'll see the headless corpses of the horses and soldiers!

"Damn the Ming Army!" Dodor angrily waved the whip in his hand. These are real Manchurians. They are the core elite of the Manchu Qing Dynasty! So much to lose in one night, and all of them have their heads cut off! Duoduo felt like he was going mad!

The Manchus and the Ming have always fought to the death. One of the very important reasons is that the Ming Dynasty has always used its head to calculate military merits and issue rewards. Everyone is afraid of death, and they are also afraid that after death, they will die without a complete body, and their souls will not be able to return to their hometown and be reincarnated. This greatly stimulated the Manchus' will to fight. If you don't want your head to be cut off for silver, you can only fight to the death and cut off the head of the Ming army!

"The whole army is speeding up, this king will kill all those bastards!" At the sound of Duoduo's rage, the Manchu army began to speed up.

They were mostly cavalry and were very fast. The distance of tens of miles had passed before noon. came to the battlefield that Gao Yang preset.

At this time, the new army under Gao Yang's command had been carrying out civil engineering work here for a morning. More than a hundred cannons were sent to the mountain bag. Fifteen thousand New Army sergeants waved their multi-purpose sapper shovels on both sides of the official road in front of the mountain and dug trenches one after another. In front of the position, trenches were dug to prevent infantry charges, and large and small craters like the surface of the moon. These potholes were used to delay the cavalry.

I have to say that the sapper shovel can be called an artifact on the battlefield. Needless to say, civil engineering work. In addition, it can be used as a pillow, an omelette, and a fishing. The most important thing is that the sharp sapper shovel is definitely a very handy weapon in hand-to-hand combat!

The sergeants dug trenches criss-crossed, and the excavated earth was piled directly on the side to form a strong defensive position. When the army of Duoduo arrived, everyone gasped in shock.

There were more than a dozen dense trenches in front of them, stretching to the foot of the mountain in the distance. The figures in those trenches swayed, and it was obvious that they were all Ming soldiers waiting for battle.

Looking back over the trench, there were figures walking around the hill from time to time. A hideous-looking red-coated cannon can be faintly seen! (To be continued)
