I am rich in martial arts, but choose culture to win

It's not that the bearded man is a hardcore banana, but that he's genuinely scared.

For these Chinese workers, they couldn't understand what kind of ghosts such a group of short-haired Chinese riding tall horses were. Instead, they looked more like Indians who came to ask for their lives.

Indeed, nearly one-third of the riders of the Daming Royal Second Mixed Brigade were Yin people.

Many of the Yin people who made contributions to the foreign legion and obtained the green card of Ming Dynasty, or the nationality of Ming Dynasty, made full use of their specialties and became cavalrymen.

But because of the population base, the cavalry is mainly Chinese.

They rode and cried:

"Fellow, don't run away, compatriots, your own people!"

"Fellow, don't run away, the Chinese don't beat the Chinese!"

"My fellow... Diao Leilou, if you run away again, I will shoot you, get down!"

……

In the end, Daming's civilized teacher, the mighty teacher, used a very peaceful method to tie up all these fellow villagers. Among them, the bearded man, for some reason, had bruised eye sockets.

I believe it must not be any rough behavior by the Ming soldiers, but because he accidentally fell because he was too excited to see the heavenly soldier.

At this time, the main force of Ming Dynasty had also arrived and stationed at Vancouver Lake, which was less than two kilometers away from the river bank.

Zhu Fugui didn't know why it was called Vancouver Lake, anyway, it was marked so on Google Maps.

The lake is quite large and has a circular shape with a diameter of nearly 3.5 kilometers.

Even better, there is a hill in the middle of the lake.

Therefore, Zhu Fugui once again unceremoniously named it Xinliangshan, and this unknown Vancouver Lake is Xinshuibo Liangshan.

In less than 10 minutes, the engineers quickly built a beach landing headquarters, and Zhu Fugui, Yin Susu, Zhang Changgui, Qi Wenchang, Rock, Mo Bai and others quickly entered the headquarters to interrogate the arrested Chinese workers.

After interrogation, the headquarters quickly figured out the identities of these Chinese workers.

They were all "labor dispatched" from San Francisco's smugglers to Portland to build bridges.

Given the hydrological conditions on the landing island, it would be useless not to build two bridges across the river.

It's a pity that the bridge hasn't been built yet, otherwise Daming would be able to prostitute for nothing.

From these populations, the headquarters also learned that Portland has already made some moves.

According to them, since the news of the Indian rebellion came from the north, Portland and Oregon were full of white soldiers, wearing cowboy hats and carrying rifles.

It is precisely for this reason that there is not a single white person who built the bridge on the north bank, but all Chinese.

This is also within the expectations of the command.

After all, for the gentlemen in New York and Washington, the fall of Seattle may be just an abstract concept, or even fake news.

But for the two neighboring states, Oregon and Idaho, there must be panic. After all, there were so many refugees who escaped from Seattle before, and Da Ming couldn't completely block it.

"Report sir, we found enemy tracks south of the New Yellow River."

At this time, a communications soldier entered the headquarters.

Zhu Fugui and others came to a high place and picked up binoculars to observe.

I saw that the white skins on the other side really came prepared, they not only built the low wall fortifications, but also launched more than [-] cannons.

These are more than 20 cannons, and it seems that the cannons are still being transported continuously from the rear. This is a powerful enemy that Daming has never encountered.

"Marshal, I suggest shelling the local positions first while the enemy's foothold is not stable!"

At this time, Yin Susu said eagerly, "The enemy's artillery is mainly [M1857 12-pound field gun] with an effective range of 1500 meters, while our army's [Eagle 001-style new howitzer] has an effective range that is more than twice theirs!"

Zhu Fugui sighed.

If it were known that the empress of the Ming Dynasty had followed Qin Liangyu to the battlefield, would the members of the Ming Dynasty in those graves be so angry that they would drown themselves in the lake.

To be honest, when I read historical novels before, the traveler clearly came to an era of war-torn times, even when the buildings were about to collapse and the nation was in catastrophe, but he still liked to engage in petty bourgeois love with a boudoir lady. Zhu Fugui felt that it was too much. It hurts.

At that time, he felt that if he had such a day, he would rather find a wife like Mu Tiezhu than fall in love with Xiao Baihua.

Fortunately, in this life, his beloved concubine has an appearance that is not inferior to any lady, but Zhu Fugui found that she is too full of martial arts.

At present, Yin Susu is a serious instructor of the artillery department of the Ming Army, and there is also a female artillery squad directly under her.

Zhu Fugui even felt that Yin Susu had been playing with steel cannons longer than he had been playing with rich cannons.

But as the master of ZTE who rebuilt the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Fugui couldn't be jealous of some iron bumps.

The only thing to note is that with the escalation of the scale of the war, Yin Susu must not be allowed to fight on the front line, and can only stay by his side as a staff officer of the artillery department.

Yin Susu quickly analyzed the style of the enemy's artillery, which is very important for decision-making.

If there is no special reason, Zhu Fugui will not formulate specific tactics.

Just like Comrade Teacher, he said that even on the Long March, he basically never touches a gun.

This is the specialization in the art industry. The picture of the two guns on the Internet is really just a joke. For such a great military strategist, charging into battle is not his strong point.

For Zhu Fugui, he is a step further than the teacher. The teacher just can't shoot a gun. Zhu Fugui not only can't shoot a gun, but also can't command and fight!Akimbo will be awesome.

He knows that he is just an ordinary person, and the only thing that is better than the people around him is his vision beyond 160 years, apart from his appearance.

This kind of vision that transcends the times can be done from a high place. If you force it to conduct battle command, you may be a "micro-manipulation master" again.

So this time the battle is still in the charge of the headquarters.

It's just that compared with the past, Yin Were has completely taken over the work of Jin Yiwei, and the intelligence port is also under the jurisdiction, and no longer participates in field battles.

The young general Mo Bai got a valuable training opportunity to enter the headquarters.

Of course, the "veteran" Qi Wenchang is the main backbone.

It's just that the emperor's power still needs some power. Zhang Changgui, who is also from the Taiping Department, has already obtained the right to train troops. Qi Wenchang's command power can only be used in wartime. The transfer of troops in peacetime is in charge of the rear party's rocks, which serve as checks and balances role.

Chapter 187 Shelling

Soon, under their organization, the 1st Armored Brigade began to arrange artillery positions [-] km from the north bank of the river.

This time, the Southern Expedition Army carried a total of 001 [Eagle 10-style howitzers] and 5 [improved red cannons].

The reason why I still brought a red cannon was because this kind of thick cannon, which was similar to a mortar, had a very good killing effect on the infantry line after being loaded with shotgun.

And because the gun body is thick and heavy, it is also very suitable for blasting the city wall with heavy artillery.

However, the range of the [Improved Red Cannon] is more than 3000 meters, and the effective range is 1500-2000 meters. It is not far from the [M1857 12-pound field gun], so it has not been used for the time being.

Although Zhu Fugui is the "founder" of the military science of the Imperial Academy of the Ming Dynasty, and even compiled the "Compendium of Xiyi Artillery in the 1857th Century", he actually doesn't know what the hell the [M12 [-]-pound field gun] is.

If he had to remember all the things he "founded", then Zhu Fugui would have been able to participate in one stop long ago, and then won the 100th consecutive championship.

But although he can't remember, Zhu Fugui can search on the spot.

After a search, he finally knew why Yin Susu believed so much.

It turns out that the so-called M1857 12-pound field gun is one of the Napoleon guns.

The Napoleon gun is a bronze smoothbore gun named after the French emperor Napoleon III. It is characterized by fierce firepower and strong maneuverability, but its accuracy is not high and its range is average.

In the middle and late period of the Civil War, as materials such as wrought iron and steel were maturely used in the production of artillery, this kind of cannon was basically eliminated.

The Oregon National Guard is still heavily used today, which can only show that as a second-line force, their equipment does seem a bit outdated.

Soon, Daming's ten [Eagle 001 howitzers] established positions 1 km away from the river bank, during which the opponent's Napoleon guns did not fire.

This actually reflects that the gunners on the opposite side are still very rational, hoping to wait until the Daming artillery array advances before attacking.

It's a pity that the Daming artillery array has no intention of advancing at all.

As Yin Susu said, the maximum range of the [Eagle 001 howitzer] is over 6000 meters, and the effective range is about 3000 meters.

The maximum range of the 12-pound Napoleon gun is about 3500-4000 meters, and the effective range is only 1500 meters.

Therefore, it is ideal for Ming Dynasty to conduct shelling at a distance of 2000 meters from the enemy's artillery position.

boom--

With a loud cannon, the first calibration shell of the [Eagle 001 howitzer] landed in front of the enemy.

Zhu Fugui saw a huge riot in the enemy visible to the naked eye through the telescope.

Apparently they didn't expect that those strange Indians in green skins had cannons with such a range.

In fact, if the New Yellow River, which was difficult to swim, was not in the way, there would be no need for the Oregon National Guard to shoot at Daming's stupid artillery.

After all, artillery has been on the battlefield for hundreds of years. Although it is known as the king of land warfare, it has long been thoroughly studied.

Even with the fairly good mobility of the Napoleon cannon, it can cooperate with the infantry line and risk a certain casualty rate to approach the shelling.

But now that they hoped to block the Ming troops north of the Columbia River, they had no choice but to fire back.

At this time, the number of Napoleon guns on the south bank of the New Yellow River has increased to 40, and the number is still increasing.

Another advantage of this kind of artillery is that it is cheap. In 1861, each gun cost only 400 US dollars, which is equivalent to less than 10 yuan in later generations.

Therefore, even Oregon, which is not rich, has a lot of reserves.

Although the ideal effective killing range was not achieved, the artillery of the Oregon National Guard had to fire back.

The movement of 40 cannons firing at the same time was still shocking. Many recruits from Daming who were not mentally strong even covered their ears.

Zhu Fugui saw that one of the artillerymen was so frightened by the sound of the shelling that he was lying on the ground with his head in his hands and trembling.

This irritated the company commander who happened to be standing next to him, and went up and kicked his ass hard.

This dark-skinned company commander is none other than Xiong Hei, a Yin soldier who accidentally pulled the trigger and almost caused the enemy to flee when he was a recruit.

In the later training and combat, Xiong Hei showed his talent in artillery, and now he has become the company commander of the artillery company of the third mixed brigade.

"Mother Xipi! Zhao Xizhu!"

Xiong Hei cursed. It is said that although this sentence expresses anger, the elegant words commonly used by Long Live Lord will make him appear more advanced.

"Isn't it just firing cannons? Forgot how to train? Your boss, if I had been so clumsy with you back then, I would have been screwed off by Commander Yin Were long ago. He is not as easy to talk to as I am!"

I don't know if Xiong Hei was condemned by God for opening his eyes and talking nonsense. Just when he was spitting and reprimanding the recruits, and encouraged him to re-standardize the base and prepare to fight back, a huge iron ball fell 200 meters in front of Xiong Hei. The place.

As mentioned earlier, the power of Napoleon's heavy artillery is very good.

The main battle shell it fills is a heavy iron shell weighing 5.44KG (ie 12 pounds).

One shot should be what the officials of the Ming Dynasty said, "every shot hits, the corruption can be counted for miles".

Even if 2000 meters has exceeded the effective range of the Napoleon cannon, it is still within its maximum range.

So, this big iron ball with huge inertial potential energy fell to the ground and jumped high, then slowed down slightly and jumped forward again.

After jumping seven or eight times, the kinetic energy of the shell was completely dissipated, but it had already reached the Ming artillery position, less than ten meters away from recruit Zhao Xizhu.

Zhao Xizhu was reprimanded by the company commander just now, and he managed to muster up the courage. Seeing such a scene, he was completely frightened.

"Zhao Xizhu!"

At this time, Xiong Hei hadn't gone far, and seeing this scene, it was too late to complain about this idiot, so he sprinted forward, and a diving leap pressed Zhao Xizhu under him.

At this moment, Xiong Hei couldn't help recalling his life.

When he was a child, he was a carefree and wealthy child. His father was not an excellent hunter, but he was a diligent farmer.

The land on the mountain is very barren, but as long as you cultivate it with your heart, you can always harvest enough food to satisfy your hunger.

But suddenly one day, the father who went out to farm never came back.

It was not until two days later that the father of the former patriarch, Concubine Yin, brought back his father's body.

Xiong Hei couldn't remember exactly what his father's body looked like.

He only remembered that his father's body... had no scalp...

From that day on, he swore that no matter who he was, as long as he could avenge his father, he would dedicate everything to him.

And today...

I finally did it...

"Bear head!"

"Bear head!"

The imaginary explosion didn't sound, but Zhao Xizhu's ugly voice sounded in my ears: "Xiongtou, come down quickly, you're overwhelming me!"
