Lord of Ming Dynasty

Taking advantage of this gap, the three camps stepped up their repair work one after another. The old and the young went to battle together, and it took an hour to repair it to a height that could prevent the enemy's war horses from rushing over. As for the people, don't even think about it. A dead body can fill up the low wall.

As soon as it was repaired, the enemy's attack came again. It was still the gang of low-level cannon fodder who had not died, plus the remaining mercenaries from before, plus some townsmen and Qing soldiers, and it was another attack of thousands of people.

This time, Zhang Qiang did not let the small cannons fire, but fired the cannons, directly hitting the enemy's rear 200 meters away, the Portuguese camp. Musketeers, as well as Japanese ronin, Gurkha mercenaries.

When these low-level cannon fodder approached the camp, the small cannons were deadly, and those who were not afraid of exploding were bombarded with shotguns, and the corpses were piled up around the camp to form a city wall.

The undestroyed artillery on the city walls in other directions was pulled out to hit the cannon fodder troops that the enemy bypassed and passed through.

If they were not allowed to attack Li Guangdi's camp, the enemy had to go around and go farther to attack Li Guangdi's camp.

The battle lasted for an hour, and despite the help of the Huaxia Army, the number of soldiers over there continued to decrease and decrease. Finally, Li Guangdi reported to Zhang Qiang several times with the command flag that he could not resist, and only a few hundred troops were left.

Zhang Qiang could only order him to abandon the camp and rush towards the camp of the Huaxia Army to make peace. He would cover them with cannons and send cavalry to meet them.

In an hour, after several assaults and several responses, Li Guangdi finally rushed into the Huaxia Army camp with less than 500 people and a part of the grain. Zhang Qiang has not put into use the troops of the Ming army and civilians who have been affected, and the Huaxia army has not put it into use. Some places are in danger and only send a team of soldiers to help. When the situation improves a little, they retreat, and even do not use muskets to support them.

Because he knew that this was just an appetizer, the enemy's main force, and hadn't been put into battle yet.

In the afternoon, hundreds of people rushed over from the big camp, all of them were cavalry, and rushed into Su Zhengqing's camp. Zhengqing resisted the enemy's attack.

But the camp was full of flames. Depending on the situation, either Huang Binqing or Li Guangxiong set the camp on fire, or the enemy set the camp on fire. In short, the Ming army's ten-mile company camp was completely reduced to ashes.

So far, the enemy has formed an encirclement of the Ming army and the Huaxia army from the front and back, and the enemy's cannon fodder and mercenaries are all around.

Although the enemy suffered heavy losses, from the real point of view, the dead were all outsiders, natives, wanderers, vagabonds, as well as the common people of the Ming Dynasty, and soldiers of the Qing army.

According to the enemy's death method, at least 2 people died in this war.

From a distance, Feng Quan just observed the battle.

He felt very boring about this way of fighting, because the Qing army usually did the same thing. The Qing army drove the common people to besiege the castles of the Ming Dynasty. The soldiers were all exhausted, exhausted, and their morale dissipated before real Manchurian Jurchen soldiers were sent to resolve the battle.

This battle after battle, in his opinion, is a farce, a bloody massacre, and only a stupid court like Daming can be played by the enemy like this.

He squinted at the cheerful Portuguese generals around him, as if this was not a war, but a farce. He felt that these people were extremely barbaric, without any human sympathy , there is no so-called civilization that they often talk about.

In his opinion, the outcome of this war was already decided. The Huaxia Army was defeated by the Ming Army.

He regretted that the last force that could fight in the Ming Dynasty would perish in this war. If Zhang Qiang, the leader of the Huaxia Army, died in this battle, then the Huaxia Army would collapse, and the Qing Army would be able to dominate the world earlier.

What makes him even more regretful is that his own contribution will not be too great, because all these are done by Thais and Westerners.

"Woo-," the horn sounded, and a new attack was about to begin.

This time, he saw that those attacking were those sailor mercenaries who Kong Youxing said were the most capable of fighting and most resembled the brave Portuguese coalition army of the Qing army, as well as some Thai and Western vagrants, as well as Japanese ronin and Gurkhas. These bravery are no less than soldiers of the Qing army.

Judging by the number of people assembled, it was no less than 2 people.

This is another fierce battle. I don’t know if it will be finished after dark. Needless to say, after the battle, the Ming army has been defeated since tens of thousands of people were defeated in the first battle yesterday, and then they were defeated by those mercenaries and The cannon fodder troops broke through the company battalion, and by this afternoon they had completely wiped out the Ming army company battalion. The Ming army had already been defeated long ago, and the only ones who could resist here were the soldiers of the two camps in this area.

According to the situation, most of these soldiers are remnants of the Ming army and some civilian husbands, and some are the personal guards of the leaders of the Huaxia Army, but the main combat force must be the Huaxia Army's personal guards who have not really participated in the battle.

I don't know how powerful the Huaxia Army's personal guards are when they fall to the ground. Today, Feng Quan wants to experience it. After the Huaxia Army is incorporated, he must find such a unit as a foreign aid outside the court.

Inside the camp, Zhang Qiang looked at the reassembled enemy troops in dismay. He also felt that the atmosphere was very oppressive. Let the Huaxia Army come out to fight.

This is a real battle of cannon fodder attrition, a human sea battle against his Huaxia army.

Chapter 397 Test

Faced with such a situation, Zhang Qiang can’t be hardened like a politician and only talk about interests and money with those Thais and Westerners. Zhang Qiang looks at the banners flying in the distance, wearing gray military uniforms, blue military uniforms, everyone looks like a gentleman, Those Taixi troops who looked at their war with contempt, the blood in their hearts gradually became cold.

The scout battalion commander ran over and said to Zhang Qiang: "Governor, the Ministry of Military Intelligence sent information. The Taixi fleet blocked the river. Our fleet could not transport the troops over and support us. Only the action team of the Ministry of Military Intelligence gathered some Nearby, about a few hundred people came to support us.

In addition, the Ming army retreated from Jiuxing County. They took away the people and supplies, and even competed with our troops for supplies. The troops had to stop there and negotiate with them. Only some cavalry came to support them with about [-] troops. we. "

Zhang Qiang secretly hated, these guys did more than fail, the enemy retreated before they fought over, with this kind of virtue, it would be a ghost to defeat the Qing army.

"When will it arrive?" Zhang Qiang knew that he could not save his army by blaming anyone now, and he could not generate more troops by doing any actions.

The scout battalion commander said: "Grand Governor, the action team will arrive in about two hours, and the [-] reinforcements from Nine Stars will arrive in the middle of the night."

"Understood, since this is the case, let's fight it once, let everyone prepare to fight, and withstand this wave of attacks. Even if we don't win, we can gain some time, at least for one night, and on the third day we Soldiers from the Artillery Brigade and the Field Brigade will come soon, maybe the Guangzhou government will send troops to support us, we must hold on tonight."

Zhang Qiang didn't know whether to tell the scout battalion commander, or to the surrounding soldiers, or to comfort himself.

While speaking, the enemy's troops had crossed a distance of 200 meters and were heading towards the camp. They were still divided into two parts, one part went to Su Zhengqing's camp, and the majority came to attack the big camp where the Huaxia Army was located.

"Fire, don't keep it, hit me hard." Zhang Qiang shouted to the messenger.

Of course, at this distance, the cannon was ordered to fire.

Although the enemy's cannons were many, of good quality, with a long range, and large enough, the Ming army cannons left in the stockade were still tenaciously fulfilling their missions, firing at the enemy's artillery positions and firing at the enemy's charging team.

After several battles and two days of battles, the camp was almost reduced to ruins, and there were not many cannons left, but the enemy still had to pay the bloody price.

The bloody roads are the places that the charging enemy mercenary team fears the most; they destroy the enemy's trenches and parapets, bunkers, and camps 200 meters away time and time again, and kill the enemy's soldiers; Because of the bombardment, because of the bombardment of the enemy's artillery, it was destroyed.

When the enemy reached more than 50 meters in front of the camp, the small cannons left behind also fired. After a row of spraying, the enemy's corpses piled up again in front of the wall of the camp. The remaining enemies panicked and could not move forward or retreat.

This time, it was Japanese ronin and Gurkha soldiers, as well as Qing army and Han banner soldiers.

In the distance, the Taixi people's own cavalry and the Qing army's cavalry slowly followed the large army, hanging 100 meters behind them.

"Let the peasants go up to the wall of the village, and give each of them a knife, or a spear, a shield, a bow and arrow, in short, tell them that if they don't work hard, they will die; let the remaining Ming soldiers, even if they are wounded soldiers, Going to fight, you can't hide in the back, you have to hide in the anti-gun hole, you must go to fight; the melee fighters of the Huaxia Army put on their armor, good weapons, bows and shields, and stand behind me , Whoever retreats will die."

Zhang Qiang became ruthless, said ruthless words, and did the same thing as the Taixi people and the Qing army. He treated the Ming army as cannon fodder, as a wall, and blocked them in front of his own people.

But what can be done?

For myself, for the Huaxia Army, and for the Ming Han people not to be enslaved by the Qing army and the Taixi people, sacrifice is necessary.

"Let our wounded soldiers, those who can shoot, must stay on the second line of defense inside the wall, behind the parapet, and those who can't move too much, load ammunition for the brothers, and those who can shoot can go up and shoot."

Zhang Qiang played with his layers of defense again, and used this kind of ruthlessness on his own people, who were still wounded.

The rumbling of war drums, the soldiers in front of the battle, civilian husbands and remnants of the Ming army, had already fought with the enemy.

Those who stand on the wall of the stronghold hit the enemy with bows and arrows and stones, and those who block the gap resist the enemy with swords, guns, and spears. In short, use your own sacrifice in exchange for the enemy's sacrifice.

Why are you so desperate, because Zhang Qiang added a paragraph after the cruel words, "After they die, they will burn paper every year. After they die, their children, wives, and elderly people will be provided by the Huaxia Army. As long as the Huaxia Army is still there, they will definitely not treat them badly."

Anyway, it's just death. In a desperate situation, even if it is an empty promise, they will believe it.

The enemy kept coming up, fighting with the remnants of the Ming army and civilian husbands who were defending the city within a radius of four or five meters from the left of the wall.

Behind the parapet, about 30 meters away, the soldiers of the Huaxia Army who fought in close combat jumped out of the parapet and swarmed up. All the enemies who rushed in were blocked in the gap, and all attempts to occupy the wall were suppressed.
