Chapter 97 Green Camp Human Shield Vehicle
The green camp soldiers are the lives of cannon fodder, even the Guanning Army Green Camp of King Pingxi is no exception. It is very good that Dorgon did not let Wu Sangui's Guanning Iron Cavalry act as cannon fodder to attack the mountain, after all, the cavalry's effect of attacking the mountain is not good.
Yesterday afternoon, after the Qing army retreated, the Ming army cleared the battlefield. All the bodies were moved to the back mountain and threw them into the sea to feed the fish. Wu Weihua, who was of noble status, was treated slightly better. The body was not thrown into the sea to feed the fish, but was randomly dug a hole and buried it. Another wooden sign was erected with his name on it.
The Ming army widened and deepened the trenches, repaired Luzhai and trenches that were destroyed by the Qing army, and buried landmines.
When the Jinyi New Army left the capital, almost emptied the Beijing Military Weapon Bureau. More than 300 mines in the inventory of the Military Weapon Bureau were brought. I don’t know how many years these mines have been lying in the Military Weapon Bureau’s warehouse, and I don’t know if they are still useful. Zhao Peng didn’t care about that much and ordered the soldiers to bury all the mines. As for whether they could explode, they could only leave it to fate.
Zhao Peng calculated that he had enough food on hand, enough to eat for ten days, and it only took seven days to build a raft here. So he ordered to cook more rice porridge, mix rice porridge and soil, then build bricks and stones, and then dry them with fire, and build several closed fortresses. The fortresses had shooting holes, which could protect the defenders to the greatest extent. However, the red cannons of the Qing army were unable to bombard these fortresses because of insufficient elevation angle.
By using fire to dry rice porridge, several forts were built behind the trench in one night, and light Franchise machines were placed inside.
When the Qing army began to pounce on the mountain, the Ming army's large and small general artillery, medium-sized Franc aircraft and other artillery began to fire at the Qing army on the hillside with solid shells. One cannon was spitting out flames, and white smoke filled the mountain.
Twenty general artillery, fifty 500 kilograms of Franchise and one hundred young general artillery fired at the same time. One round of volleys was 170 shells flew out in one swift, forming a dense solid shell barrage on the hillside. The shells landed on the cleaned hillside and jumped on the ground. Some shells hit the big stone, smashing the stones to pieces, like shrapnel.
The hillside that had been cleaned by the Ming army was soon covered with corpses, and the green camp soldiers in front were knocked down by Ming army shells.
After firing the shells, the gunner of the Franco machine immediately pulled out the sub-gun with an iron hook, loaded the new sub-gun, and then ignited the fire. The fifty medium-sized Franco machine once again knocked down a group of Qing soldiers.
The gunners of the general's cannons that were loading slowly and the young general's cannons were nervously loaded. They poured gunpowder into the cannon chamber, put a wooden board into the cannon chamber to seal the gunpowder, then mixed the iron beads, stones and soil, and loaded them into the cannon chamber. In this way, the loading of the cannon was completed, and finally the medicine twist was inserted at the fire door.
When the Ming army gunners were nervously loading artillery, the Qing army attacking the mountain stepped on landmines from time to time. Although the mines pressed by these flintlock machines have been around for a while, most of the mines can still be used. When the Qing soldiers of the Green Camp stepped into the pit where the mine was buried, the flintlock machine immediately ignited the induced drugs in the mine fuse, and the induced drugs ignited the gunpowder, and the mine exploded.
"Boom" the mines in the pottery jar were crushed to pieces. The Qing soldiers who stepped on the mines soared into the air in the flames. Countless fragments flew up from the ground and blew up the surrounding Qing soldiers.
Although these mines loaded with black gunpowder are not very powerful, each mine explosion, the power of five to six kilograms of gunpowder can form an anti-destruction range of about ten meters. The mine not only blows away many Green Camp soldiers, but also some of the Manchu Eight Banners heavy armored dead soldiers who follow the Green Camp cannon fodder were affected by the mine explosion.
The sharp pottery slices were like steel knives, penetrated the iron leaf armor outside the Manchu Eight Banners Dead Soldiers, and then penetrated the cotton armor inside, and finally penetrated deeply into the chain mail. The Manchu Eight Banners Dead Soldiers who were hit on their body screamed and fell down seriously injured. Even if the pottery slices did not penetrate his three-fold armor, the explosion of the air waves was enough for them to drink a pot.
Some of the Eight Banners' dead soldiers had their legs broken, fell in a pool of blood and struggled in pain, making a dying howling sound.
"Boom boom boom" The roar of the Fran aircraft fired again on the hill. Solid artillery shells drilled into the crowd of Qing troops in the Green Camp. The Green Camp soldiers who were hit by more than one pound of shells were smashed to pieces on the spot. The shells penetrated the Green Camp soldiers, jumped on the ground, and hit the dead soldiers of the Eight Banners of Manchuria behind. The three-fold armor on the dead soldiers on the body could not help them block the shells. They were hit by the shells. The heavy armored infantry and the armored green camp soldiers had the same end and were smashed to pieces on the spot.
Even a real shield car could not stand the firing of the 500-pound Franchise, let alone the human shield car composed of green camp cannon fodder. In front of the shells, everything was crushed to pieces.
The Wuzhen Chaoha soldiers of the Eight Banners Han Army behind finally came up. They put down the light Franz aircraft and tiger squat cannons carried on their shoulders, set up the cannons to launch a counterattack on the Ming army fortifications on the mountain. The Qing army artillery at the foot of the mountain spit out flames, and the shells flew up the hillside and hit the Ming army's positions, but most of the Ming army hiding in the trenches were safe and sound.
As the distance approached, when the two sides were within fifty steps away, the bird guns, turtledove guns and Lumi guns in the hands of the Ming army started one after another, and dense bullets pierced into the Qing army's crowd, killing the Green Camp soldiers in front of them to the ground one after another.
After all, the human shield chariots such as the Green Camp soldiers are not as good as the real shield chariots. The real shield chariots are hit by weapons such as bird guns. As long as they are not penetrated, they cannot kill the people behind them. However, once the human shield chariots of the Green Camp soldiers are hit, the flesh shield will fall down, revealing the Eight Banners soldiers behind. At this time, the Eight Banners soldiers became the target of the Ming army's firepower strike.
After firing the ammunition, the musketeers quickly squatted down and loaded the ammunition tightly in the trench.
At the same time, a group of Ming army infantry on the top of the mountain pulled the ropes and smashed baskets of stones down the hillside. The scattering machine that had been temporarily built for two nights in the past two days was finally put into use.
The trencher that Zhao Pengren built was called the Seven-Tip Cannon, which was the type of trencher that killed Mengge in Diaoyu City in the Southern Song Dynasty. This trencher was driven by 250 people and could throw 90 kilograms of stones away fifty steps away. But if the seven-Trencher cannon was used on the hill, due to the principle of parabola, the range of the trencher fired condescendingly could be increased to 200 steps away. One section of the lever arm of the trencher is a basket, which can be filled with 90 kilograms of stones, with dozens of large and small stones. Two hundred and fifty people pulled the trencher, throwing steamed buns and flying rain onto the hillside like a fairy scattering flowers.
The stone rain fell and hit the Qing soldiers. Whether it was the Green Camp soldiers with warm hats or the Eight Banners soldiers with iron helmets, they had no resistance in front of the stones falling from the sky. The stones hit the Eight Banners soldiers' iron helmets, and their helmets immediately faded, their skulls were sunken, their brains burst, and they fell without even humming. The stones hit the Eight Banners soldiers' chests, and even the three-fold armor could not save their lives. The ribs were broken, and the entire chest was sunken. The Eight Banners soldiers with broken internal organs vomited blood and fell down screaming.
The Qing army's nightmare was not over yet. As the distance approached, the Ming army's tiger squat cannons, Francs, general cannons, turtledove guns, and even bowl-mouth guns, cub-mouth guns and other firearms spit out flame tongues, and the heavy rain-like shotguns woven into a barrage, covering the heads of the Qing army.
Dense iron beads and stones pierced into the Qing army, and the green camp soldiers in front arrived in a large number of places.
