Chapter 249: The Era of Queuing to Drop Bombs The fourth is to ask for a monthly pass
In the Qing army camp only five or six miles away from Zhu Jishi, Monk Greenqin had already finished eating the leg of mutton, and was taking Xianglin, Ulantai and Fu Fang to inspect the front line.
Monk Lingqin said to the three people around him with some emotion: "What a hell, this Ming Dynasty has been dead for 200 years, and there are signs of recovery, what is this?" Rejuvenation? Or is it a corpse? ”
Fu Fang's gauze-wrapped face was full of firmness, "Today, the Son of Heaven is in the court, and the hearts of the people in the world are all in the Qing Dynasty, not in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yi is just a clown jumping off the beam, how can I be shaken by such a clown?" ”
"Iron bucket country...... Monk Lingqin nodded slightly and said to Fu Fang, "You are right, our Qing Dynasty is an iron bucket country, and no one can take it away!" Moreover, our battalion is also like an iron barrel, with a trench outside, and a shotgunner and spearman are hidden inside, and then a wall is built to arrange artillery shields, and behind the shields are swordsmen, spearmen...... It's like an iron bucket. Fu Fang, if you are that Zhu Yi, how are you going to break this iron bucket-like camp? ”
"Lord Wang, I can't think of a way to break the formation." Fu Fang thought about it very seriously, and felt that this camp was really like an iron bucket, if there was any shortcoming, it was probably that the camp would not move, right? In the past, the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry came and went, and the Ming army only dared to shrink the city, but now it ...... But it was the male soldiers of the Qing Dynasty who put up a turtle formation.
Xianglin and Ulantai next to him also flattered.
"Yes, we just need to hold Dazhai firmly and wait for the rebels to hit the thief himself."
"As long as this thief dares to attack, he will definitely accumulate corpses in front of the prince's iron bucket array!"
Monk Lingqin listened to hahadaxiao a few times, and said heroically: "We will stay here." Choke the thief's throat. If the thief dares to attack. This iron bucket-like village is the grave of the anti-Ming thief! Today's Dongjiang River is the pine brocade of the past! ”
"That's right! Today's Dongjiang River is the pine brocade of the past! Fu Fang put away that worry and said excitedly: "This reverse Ming couldn't beat us when he was sitting on the world 200 years ago, and now it's just the territory of two counties, why should he fight against our Qing Dynasty!" ”
……
At night, the north bank of the Dongjiang River was dark, standing where Zhu Jishi was and looking west. The direction of the Qing army's camp was still flickering with countless dim lights, like a sea of stars shrouded in mist. Zhu Jishi knew that it was the Qing army smoking opium, and the Qing army in Guangdong, whether it was the Eight Banners or the Green Camp, was all good! The Jingqi soldiers brought by Monk Greenqin were better, but there were also smokers. It seems that Seng Lingqin is now liberalizing the policy and letting his subordinates have a good time.
There was no movement in the open space in the formations of the two armies for a long time, and the Qing army's rangers were all taken back, and it was not a good idea to scatter the cavalry in the dark at night. If you don't make a lantern or torch, you won't even be able to take a horse and fall on your heels. Isn't it a live target if it's a lantern?
Zhu Jishi raised his right arm high. This is the military salute of the Ming army, a salute to the grenadiers who went out on the march!
More than 3,000 officers and men from six grenadier battalions will take part in tonight's night raid! The three brigade commanders Han Si, Su Yuniang and Luo Junqi will also personally lead the team, while Zhu Jishi will lead the Jinyi guard to supervise the battle. In addition, the Jinyi cavalry and a light infantry battalion that had just crossed the Dongjiang River were scattered around the battlefield in squads to cover the movements of the six grenadier battalions.
To be honest, the turtle formation of the trench with the chest wall and the wooden shield that Monk Lingqin is now putting forward already has a little bit of the idea of trench warfare in later generations. From this point of view, this Mongolian prince is really a very thoughtful military strategist. But now there were no machine guns, and there were no barbed wire and mines to protect the Qing trenches. Moreover, in order to increase the density of firepower, the number of shotgunners and gunmen in the trenches of the Qing army was too large, and there were really raindrops of grenades to fall down.......
Zhu Jishi is really looking forward to the result of the grenadier raid!
Guan Yuanbao, who was inlaid with a white flag in Manchuria, was born and raised in Mancheng, Guangzhou, although like all flag people, his household registration was in Beijing, but Guangzhou was his real home. For more than 20 years, he has lived in the prosperous city of Guangzhou. He is very familiar with the characters and customs of Guangzhou, and he likes it very much, but it is the Son of Heaven in the north, which is really strange. Guan Yuanbao knew all about the Heaven and Earth Society, the Hong family brothers, and the story of the anti-Qing Dynasty and the restoration of the Ming Dynasty, and even knew many members of the Heaven and Earth Society -- in Guangzhou, it was really more difficult for you to recognize a member of the Heaven and Earth Society than to ascend to the sky. However, these brothers of the Heaven and Earth Society are also very friendly to him, the flag man, what "overseas son of heaven, come to the Ming Dynasty" story, just as a joke, no one is serious.
But almost overnight, the joke came true! The Guangzhou City, which Guan Yuanbao loved so much, also changed overnight! The "difference between the flag and the man" that he has not felt in the past 20 years has suddenly become so distinct!
No, it's not the difference between the flag and the Han, but the feud between the flag and the Han!
During these days, the hatred of millions of Han people inside and outside Guangzhou was so strong that it could almost be touched with their hands! The city of Guangzhou is now heavily guarded, the Han civilians are not allowed to enter at all, and the banner people in the city do not dare to go out casually, it is said that some members of the Heaven and Earth Society want to cut off the head of the flag man and dedicate it to Zhu Mingzi, who is entrenched in Hong Kong!
It is even rumored that once the city of Guangzhou is broken by the Ming army, the bannermen in the city, whether old or young, will be slaughtered!
The bannermen, women, children, old and weak who had relatives to vote for in the north have now quietly left this dangerous place. But Guan Yuanbao's family has nowhere to go, his old surname is "Guerjia", and his ancestor is Fei Yingdong, the first hero of the founding of the Later Jin Dynasty, but his branch has long declined, and he has settled in Guangzhou for more than 100 years.
Therefore, he Guan Yuanbao can only stand up to protect the emperor of the Qing Dynasty and protect his homeland and relatives. In the twenty-sixth year of Daoguang, when the Guangzhou New Army was expanded, he became a leader, and when he was sorting out the Guangdong Green Camp a while ago, he transferred from the Eight Banners New Army to the military standard of the Guangzhou general, and was promoted to the capital division, and he was in charge of more than 200 Han shotguns who had no fighting spirit, and he was stationed in this cold and damp trench tonight.
Since almost all the trenches were being dug during the day today, the soldiers under Guan Yuanbao's command were tired enough, and now except for the sentries on duty at night, they were all huddled into a pile and fell asleep. But Guan Yuanbao couldn't sleep, holding his waist knife, looking at the battlefield in front of him over and over again with wide eyes. He seemed to hear the movement of the troops, but when he listened closely, there was silence again. Just when he thought he was too nervous to be suspicious, then in the moonlight, he suddenly saw that something seemed to be moving on the ground!
"Enemy attack!" Guan Yuanbao's first reaction was to pull out his waist knife and shout at the top of his throat.
"Enemy attack! Enemy Attack ...... Oh no, the Ming bandits are coming! ”
There was chaos in the trenches, and there were chaotic shouts, but no one knew what to do in the event of an enemy attack. Guan Yuanbao doesn't know, does he raise a gun to shoot? No, the green camp doesn't have flintlock pistols, it's all arquebus shotguns and guns, and now it's time to light the fire?
"All stand up...... Advance! ”
Guan Yuanbao found that it was the troops of the 1st Grenadier Company of the 2nd Regiment Grenadier Battalion of the Ming Army, and the company commander Lieutenant Shi Dakai saw that the sneak attack was not successful, so he simply asked the soldiers to stand up and advance, but after walking a dozen steps, they could get close enough to the Qing army's trenches, and it would be easy to throw the grenade into it at that time.
"All stand upright, grenade ready!"
With Shi Dakai's command, each of the 120 grenadiers had a Jason-style grenade.
"Pull the string...... Cast! ”
This kind of fighting method of throwing more than 100 grenades out together according to the password made the uncles of the People's Liberation Army of later generations laugh until their stomachs hurt when they saw it. However, it is indeed the standard tactic stipulated in the grenadier drill code of the Ming Army at the moment - now the grenadiers of the European powers also play in this way, and the queue for shooting has been changed to queue up to throw bombs!
"Ouch! Ouch ......"
The Qing army in the trench suddenly screamed, of course, the grenade had not exploded, but many people's heads were smashed open! A few of them caught the grenade quickly, and they didn't know what it was, so they leaned in front of them to take a closer look.
The result is a bang, uh, no head! (To be continued......)
