Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 71 Small stronghold
The soldiers of the 102nd and 103rd regiments, which had just been formed for two months, still disappointed Bai Mingxiu in terms of infantry tactics.Compared with the Ming Dynasty Restoration Army, which also underwent new training but performed well on the battlefield, the Guli soldiers who had no previous war experience were still much immature.Of course, the quality of the Qing troops on the battlefields of Burma and Yunnan was actually also low. They were basically beaten to pieces by the Ming Dynasty's Restoration Army.However, what the Baizitou Regiment faced was a "field force" that would not retreat despite intensive shooting and heavy casualties.

"The machine gun squad goes up." Bai Mingxiu shouted.

The Iroquois cavalry appeared too suddenly, and the hundred-headed regiment did not deploy, especially the important anti-enemy weapons machine guns and cannons were behind, and there were also their own troops in the firing range.The infantry phalanx could only temporarily form a confrontation state, but it was still overwhelmed by the Iroquois charge.

Once the infantry formation was broken, it would be the massacre of the cavalry against the infantry. The hundred-headed regiments were all recruits, and they were obviously weak against the fierce Iroquois cavalry, and the casualties were not small.

Fortunately, the machine gun squad was finally pushed up, and a dozen M2 heavy machine guns formed a hellish crossfire, and soon beat the Iroquois cavalry to pieces. At this time, the Iroquois still wanted to organize A charge, but the damage was too great, the morale finally couldn't be maintained, and the army began to flee.

"Cavalry battalion, where is the cavalry battalion? Are you not ready yet?" Bai Mingxiu was somewhat angry. He was commanding such a battle, but his own troops were not very easy to use. The constant mistakes made his Orders are not well implemented.

In the end, the cavalry of the Hundred Head Regiment successfully pursued for a while and killed dozens of enemies, but two to three hundred Iroquois still escaped.

Bai Mingxiu looked at the messy battlefield and couldn't help but sigh deeply.

"Although it was a sneak attack, the beating was a bit too ugly..." Bai Mingxiu couldn't help but said.

The Iroquois killed more than 700 people, and the injured Bai Mingxiu ordered them to be executed directly.On the other hand, several infantry phalanxes on our side were directly disabled by the Iroquois cavalry, and the casualties exceeded [-], which was unbelievable to Bai Mingxiu.

After all, the two hundred-headed regiments he led, although they were recruits, used weapons close to the level of the late 19th century. They were equipped with percussion guns with fixed bullets in paper shells, and a modernized army with heavy machine guns. After encountering the impact of the Iroquois at the level of primitive society, they still suffered a lot of damage.

Although this battle was won, the morale of the hundred-headed regiment was hit, especially since this was the first time the Guli people went to the battlefield. No matter what epic and glorious fantasies they had about the war before, in this For a moment, all illusions were shattered.

Bai Mingxiu could see the sluggish application on the faces of some soldiers, their eyes were dull, and some even held the remains of their comrades and wept bitterly.

He really wanted to tell these people that their comrades in arms would be resurrected later, but he shook his head and gave up on this move.Because sooner or later he will bring the hundred-headed regiment into the real battlefield, and the death at that time will be real.

"To clean up the battlefield, the chief officers and political officers of each unit will carry out educational activities for the entire army to appease our soldiers." Bai Mingxiu explained concisely.

Although he was holding the system and there were all kinds of things that made him feel like a dream and a game, each of the soldiers in front of him was a living person. He could not expect these soldiers to become iron-blooded warriors all of a sudden, able to regard life and death as their own. Nothing.

"Thinking about it this way, it seems that I'm really a weirdo." Bai Mingxiu recalled that the first time he saw the scene of killing people in the cursed water, he was not only not afraid, but excited.

"It seems that this freak like me is really suitable for living in a troubled world." Bai Mingxiu laughed at himself.

Bai Mingxiu gathered his troops as quickly as possible and continued to march towards the nearest stronghold.The Iroquois were repelled, leaving some horses behind, which were regarded as Bai Mingxiu's trophies.These horses were directly assigned to the cavalry troops by Bai Mingxiu as their backup mounts, and could be used to pull some supplies and carry the wounded.

When night fell, Bai Mingxiu led two regiments of troops to reach their destination.

"Sure enough, the small stronghold is actually a castle, but the scale of the castle is not small." Bai Mingxiu followed the scouts to observe around the stronghold. He held a telescope and looked at the night. that castle.

Bai Mingxiu even saw the information about the city defenders.

【Ezo Republic Infantry】(Defenders)

Organization: company (120 people)
Type: Line Infantry

Rating: Grade C

Discipline: Moderate

Morale: Medium
"The infantry of the Ezo Republic? This is from "Total War: The Fall of the Samurai", right? It's just a typical line infantry with some flintlock guns. Wait, there seem to be other troops in the city. .”

【Qimen Jingqi】(Captive)
Organization: Hanying (2000 people)
Type: Cavalry

Rating: Grade E

Discipline: Poor

Morale: Low (no morale due to being captured)

Bai Mingxiu became a little confused, and thought to himself: "Qimen Elite Cavalry? It sounds a bit tricky, let me think about it, well, this troop probably originated from a troop in the mind of the MOD of cavalry and slashing, but there are so many of them. , and the fighting power is not bad, how could he be in the state of being captured, by whom, could it be that he was captured by the infantry of the Ezo Republic? It's a bit too magical."

Bai Mingxiu thought to no avail, but decided to attack the city first.

"Besides capturing this stronghold, capturing the stronghold in this dungeon is the key. One company of infantry defenders is completely inadequate compared to my two mixed regiments."

Under Bai Mingxiu's order, the artillery battalions of the two hundred-headed regiments pushed out their cannons one after another. At this time, the infantry of the Ezo Republic on the city wall noticed Bai Mingxiu's movements, but they could only stare blankly.

The most unrealistic aspect of the dungeon mission is this. It is obviously to guard a strong castle, but because this unit is infantry, it has no ability to operate artillery. All we can do is watch Bai Mingxiu's artillery arrayed in a majestic manner under the city. Artillery position.

"Let's bomb the city gate. It's not easy to blow up the city wall, but it's also troublesome if it breaks. If the city gate collapses, it can be repaired." Bai Mingxiu ordered, and his artillery had actually gotten very close to the city gate. , that is, a distance of 500 meters, but the flintlock muskets of the Ezo Republic infantry on the wall could not reach them.

Sure enough, after a round of shelling, the 105mm Armstrong gun blasted open the gate of this small stronghold, and infantry and cavalry began to charge the city.

　The white face asks everyone for a wave of favorites and recommendation tickets again. The story of the dungeon will not last long, and the fourth and fifth chapters will be over. It is just a simple adjustment. Next, the protagonist will return to the mainland to chop the Tartars.
