This is the basic common sense of ancient city defense.
So much so that in history, when the Eight-Power Allied Forces entered Beijing, they asked the locals to help provide ladders.
In fact, even if there is a forest, with the degree of aridity in North China, a fire will burn all trees and people.
But the tree is innocent, and I tried to avoid this when formulating the battle plan.
Here, there are no trees, no ponds, no wide ditches, only the withered and yellow crops growing in the farmland, and a few farmhouses that have been vacated long ago.
Several Indians got into the pigsty, and they were burnt to charcoal together with the pigsty and the innocent piglets inside.
So much so that when the corpses were disposed of later, it was no longer possible to tell which was a human and which was a pig, so they had to be buried together.
Under such circumstances, military discipline is of no use.
All are doing irregular Brownian motion.
On the contrary, Sharma, who was deaf after being pierced, faithfully pulled Armstrong's cannon and walked towards Beijing.
In fact, if it is an elite British army and has undergone relevant training, Wilson is still sure to control the situation.
Although the sense of oppression caused by the plane is strong, if you think about it rationally, this is actually not much more terrifying than queuing up to approach and shoot.
Two groups of people approached to fifty yards and fired guns at each other. This kind of discipline and courage, or repeated training to make soldiers perform prescribed actions numbly and mechanically, can also allow them to move forward with the bombs on their heads.
The only thing that needs to be improved is the density of the team.
The tactic of advancing in line has been completely eliminated after the Ming-French War and the Franco-Prussian War.
The French personally proved that the afterglow of the line no longer exists, and skirmishers are the only feasible means to face heavy firepower.
But the training method is still the same.
It is feasible to train soldiers who face machine guns, bombarded overhead and do not back down.
But it's a pity that these colonial soldiers under Wilson have neither been trained nor have much sense of discipline.
Headless Indians running around like chickens.
There were even a few Indian soldiers with white phosphorous fire hanging on their bodies and ran towards the officers.
Wilson and his colleagues decisively opened fire and executed them at a distance.
During the period, Wilson and some other British soldiers did not try to raise their guns and shoot into the sky.
Shooting a plane with a rifle is not entirely unfeasible.
After all, today's aircraft are still very hip.
It's a pity that the plane pulled his hips, and the rifle in Wilson's hand also pulled his hips.
At a distance of 200 to 300 meters, the accuracy of horizontal shooting cannot be guaranteed, let alone shooting upwards.
There were even cases where bullets fell and caused accidental injuries.
Fortunately, there are still too few planes in Ming Dynasty.
After three rounds of bombing, those weird flying machines swaggered a few times in the sky and flew towards the east.
Wilson, who escaped from death, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
I was lucky not to be buried in the flames.
Looking up, or without looking up, just smelling the disgusting aroma of barbecue in the air, Wilson can imagine how miserable it is.
"Gather the troops immediately and go to Beijing to rest!"
Wilson gave the order.
The fleeing troops gradually gathered together.
Whether it was Ah San or a foreigner, if he broke away from the army and wandered alone in the countryside of North China where Boxers were everywhere, he would definitely be beaten to death.
So they were also very sensible and didn't run far, and took the initiative to return to the team.
In the evening, more than 2 people had gathered.
As expected!
Wilson breathed a sigh of relief.
The Ming people's bombing only looked ferocious, but in fact it caused very limited damage.
Of course, the terrible punishment fell from the sky, and such a doomsday scene is self-evident for the psychological trauma.
Most of the British soldiers were sitting on the ground blankly at this time, their eyes were blank, as if they were scared out of their wits.
"General Wilson!"
Just when the army was exhausted and trapped, the nobles of the Eight Banners finally confirmed their safety, and ran over to labor with cattle and sheep.
"It's really shameless to attack the heroes of the British Empire without paying attention to martial arts!"
The one who took the lead was Yikui, King of Qing County, who was Yichenjin's peer.
Historically, Yikuang received the support of Cixi and took over Yijinjin's position.
But here, Yikuang has become Yijinjin's number one running dog, and came to comfort the British as a representative of the regent.
Chinese food tastes good, but Wilson has no interest in eating.
He quickly asked the interpreter to say: "Ming's air strikes are just a bluff, now our British army must immediately enter the city to rest and guard against possible land attacks by the Ming people!"
As the real gravedigger of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the number one embezzler in the late Qing Dynasty, Yikuang knew nothing about military affairs.
Hearing the seriousness of the foreign officials, he quickly asked the civilian husband to help the frightened British soldiers into the city.
On the tower, Xingzhen had already left.
On the contrary, the nobles of the Qing Dynasty who were welcoming foreigners to the city downstairs now hid on the towers.
Of course, these belong to the relatively stupid nobles.
Those with brains are already preparing their luggage.
Guizi Liu has also asked the servants to prepare their luggage and a carriage ready to leave at any time.
But right now he has to stay here.
"Everyone, when foreigners come, there will be blue sky!"
He pulled a little white face with greasy hair and flour noodles, and said impassionedly, "Ming people are cruel, and they are burned all over the camp, but my Qing Dynasty is a virtue of water, and we are not afraid of mere fires! This king is here, and the third son of Prime Minister Churchill of England is also here!" Here! We swear to live and die with Beijing!"
Guizi Liu's acting skills are good, and he wears a full set of lightning rod armor, which is more or less like a martial artist.
Randolph Churchill beside him was pale, his legs were trembling, and his crotch was almost wet.
After falling out with the Prince of Wales because of his mistress, Randolph Churchill was arranged by his father to be a minister in Beijing.
This is fat.
The old Churchill approved the aid to the Qing Dynasty in Downing Street, and Randolph undertook the project in Beijing. In turn, he fabricated some materials to help his father smash his political achievements and become an iron-blooded strongman who managed the Far East.
The father and son made a lot of money, cooperated happily, and went back and forth, comparable to a perpetual motion machine.
Neither a rare sect nor the Ukrainian prince can hold a candle to it.
But Randolph Churchill really never thought that one day he would want to live and die with the city of Beijing!
Guizi Liu's escape plan was not told to the British.
Tell the British, can he still run?
Fortunately, more than 2 British troops were about to enter the city outside the city, and Randolph Churchill relaxed a little.
It seems that my father is right, the air force is just a trick, only the army and navy can really decide who will be responsible.
Just when the ghosts and Randolph Churchill were about to go downstairs to meet Wang Shi, a long snake seemed to move in the dim night.
Suddenly, the torch was lit, and countless Liaodong accents, Mongolian accents, Anhui accents, and Southern Jiangsu accents, mixed with some princely voices sounded: "The first Batulu of the Qing Dynasty, Tongliao Khan, the general soldier of Shanhaiguan, Suotna Lord Mupengsuke received the edict of the Holy Mother, the Empress Dowager, and the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, to kill the traitor of the Qing Dynasty, Aixinjueluo family, and a group of people. Those who know the current affairs, surrender quickly!"
A handsome Mongolian horse, Lord Suotna was wearing a camouflage suit exclusive to the puppet army of the Ming Dynasty, and he heard the shouts of killing Aixinjueluo and being on the side of the Qing emperor, and he didn't think there was anything wrong in the slightest.
He reined in his horse, and said to a middle-aged man beside him who was wearing two sets of top-mounted body armor and helmets of two sizes, "Brother Shaoquan, this time you have wronged your brothers in the Huai Army!"
Li Hongzhang and Li Shaoquan said with a disapproving smile: "It's okay to have a little reputation, it's okay, after finishing your work, you and my two families will join forces and seek a shelter for Tongliao and Southern Tang outside the region. thing."
Sortna nodded.
He knew that Li Hongzhang was right.
Although Liaodong is good, it is not a place to stay for a long time.
Only by jumping out of the territory can he be tolerated by Daming.
However, he knew better that he and the Li family were better than each other, not as vigorous as Zuo Zongtang.
If you don't want to hold a group with vegetables and chickens at this time, when will you wait?
This evening, the Mengtang coalition forces descended like magic soldiers, and the British army who was bombed by the air raid and the Manchu army who opened their doors were suddenly panicked.
Suotna raised his trumpet, pointed his long knife forward, and shouted: "The shame of Yixuebaliqiao, the opportunity to overthrow the foreign devils is now, let me smash them to death!"
Chapter 646: Qing Emperor’s Side (2)
Although sending abalones to the Ming Concession all day long seems a bit hip, but in fact, Sautna's [-] new troops, including a part of the Japanese Eight Banners, still have a certain combat effectiveness.
At least in the territory of the Far East, if not counting the Ming garrison, it is definitely one of the most powerful troops.
Even if they set up a majestic formation, facing the British colonial miscellaneous army, although the chance of winning is almost non-existent, they can definitely fire three shots into the sky and repay Lord Tongzhi for the rice, noodles, money and food before running away.
This is definitely the elite of the elite.
Of course, that is mainly because the reputation of foreigners is too bluffing.
After being beaten by Fat for 23 years, Oceanophobia has penetrated into the bone marrow.
However, since Prince Suo brought a group of his confidants to Fengdu to win the World Cup three years ago, this fear of foreigners has gradually faded in the Tongliao army.
"Hey, foreigner, it's just like that. Back then, I was chased all over the street by football hooligans from Daming. Master, I stuffed my braids into my hat and pretended to be Master Ming. When I went up, I was punched. Guess what? Grandpa knocked out two teeth and shouted that he loves Sao Rui!"
"I don't understand what love Sao Rui is, so I greeted you with two more punches. It wasn't until Mingren's Jin Yiwei came over with a spirit injection stick that I slipped away. If Master Ming didn't stop me, I would still be open now." People who have passed foreign meat!"
There are too many jokes like this in the Tongliao Army.
To this day, the group photo of Lord Suo and the [-]th Tong Liao men's football players holding the Gaoqiu Cup is still hung in the royal court.
Therefore, this time, despite the lack of confidence in their hearts, the entire Tongliao army still held on to the British rifles aided by the British, the French rifles bought by the Qing court from the French in the early days, and the Ming Dynasty rifles purchased with abalone money. , launched the Tatar Charge 2.0 with the attitude of making all nations.
In contrast, the morale of the Southern Tang army was slightly inferior.
Except for Liu Mingchuan's Inscription Battalion, which had participated in the Western Expeditions of Daming and Zuo Chu, the rest of the battalions were fighting foreigners for the first time, and they were somewhat timid.
However, lack of morale, equipment to make up.
Li Hongzhang has been entrenched in Suzhou for nearly ten years.
Needless to say where Suzhou is.
In addition, Wuxi, Changzhou, Yangzhou, Huizhou, Nantong, Zhenjiang and other places are all rich places.
The Ming Dynasty carried out land reform in Jinling, eradicated clans, expelled local tyrants and evil gentry, and a large amount of old money fled to Li Hongzhang's account and became fish.
It can be said that Li Hongzhang is extremely rich.
Of course, the money was actually just passing through his hands, and was soon earned by Daming with industrial and agricultural scissors.
But even if he was cut, Li Hongzhang was still very rich.
If Zuo Zongtang didn't have Liang Zongming, who had unlimited bullets, he would not be able to compare with him in terms of money-making ability alone.
For example, the Fubiao pro-barracks of Li Hongzhang's closest lineage had all Ming-style equipment.
From helmets to bulletproof inserts, there are many.
You know, apart from the Ming army, which expanded to 120 million, and the [-] Ming armies of the Chu army, Li Hongzhang's [-] Fubiao soldiers are the only army in the world today equipped with plate body armor.
Among the dogs of the Ming Dynasty, Ming Liangzong couldn't say that he had any kindness to Li Hongzhang, but he treated him kindly.
Of course, it is still incomparable with Zuo Chu, the first feudal town of the Dewu Dynasty.
In addition, the main force of the Huai Army: Mingzi Battalion, Chunzi Battalion, Qingzi Battalion, and Shuzi Battalion are also well-equipped. Like Zuo Chu's 20 old-style troops, they all use high-end foreign trade rifles from Ming Dynasty. Flower 3.0.
This kind of foreign trade rifle designed for the slave country has excellent performance, which is comparable to the mainstream rifles of the western powers in the world today, but the price is much lower, and the structure is simple and easy to repair.
This is something that only an industrial country with unlimited steel production can do.
