The Ming Dynasty has just been exiled and the Luzon system has awakened.

Chapter 170: The soldiers came to the city, and the 8-banner master was filled with resentment

"what happened!"

In the General's Mansion in Guangzhou City, Lu Chongyao heard the fierce sound of gunfire coming from the south gate. He put down the tea in his hand and asked loudly.

Not long after, an Eight Banners soldier ran into the general's mansion in panic, knelt down on one knee and reported:

"General, the main force of the Ming Navy is shelling the port. Our navy has been defeated. Now the Ming Army has begun to land at the port!"

"what!"

Lu Chongyao suddenly stood up.

At this moment, his face was extremely ugly. He was not surprised that the Ming Navy attacked Guangzhou, but the Guangzhou Navy, which had spent a lot of money to build, was just gone?

Also, the Ming army has begun to land, what about the forts?

Lu Chongyao overestimated the determination of the Guangzhou Navy to resist the Ming army, or he overestimated the professionalism and ability of the Eight Banners men.

Because of the large-scale defection and surrender of the Green Camp soldiers in the First World War of Jiande, and the situation where the Jiangning Mansion defenders abandoned the city and fled, Nuanxi became wary of the Green Camp soldiers.

Therefore, in order to strengthen the control of the Green Camp troops, Nuanxi recently ordered the Green Camp to add the post of executive flag officer to officers above the general level, responsible for coordinating military affairs and supervising the generals, which is actually the job of supervising the army.

Fanxi means that the military combat command is still in charge of the original Han officers, and the bannermen play a supervisory role.

But these Eight Banners masters are obviously not satisfied with being a military supervisor who seems to have great power, but actually has little power.

Therefore, these people relied on their status as bannermen to exclude the original Han officers as soon as they came up, and some even directly became military chiefs.

And those Han officers who were sidelined or robbed of their positions dared to be angry and dare not speak out. After all, the world belongs to Tatars.

Over time, most of the Qing green camp soldiers became directly controlled by the Tatars.

The infantry, cavalry and other Tatars can still play well, but letting these people command the navy and artillery is just for fun.

In addition to these promoted executive flag officers and officers, many of them were just junior officers or even ordinary soldiers before this.

This force puts them in charge of commanding dozens or even hundreds of unfamiliar troops. It would be strange if they could command them well.

So as expected, they fell apart.

Facing the sudden attack of the Ming Dynasty Royal Navy fleet, the Tatar leaders panicked and then disappeared.

The Guangzhou Navy, which lost its command, was directly blocked and killed by the Ming army in the port.

The various coastal defense forts responded, but after launching their first attack, they faced an overwhelming artillery counterattack from the Ming Navy.

Then these people moisturized again!

As a result, the Ming army successfully landed in Guangzhou without encountering any decent resistance.

At this moment, Lu Chongyao did not know that the reason why the Ming army was able to land so easily was because of the Eight Banners disciples whom he personally promoted.

He didn't have time to pay attention to that, because at this moment another messenger ran into the general's mansion in a panic.

"General, a large number of Ming troops have appeared in the north and east of the city. According to reports from scouts, the strength of the Ming troops is no less than 5!"

……

When the Royal Marines of the Ming Dynasty landed in the south of Guangzhou, more than 6 people from the Second and Third Divisions of the Ming Royal Army and the [-]st, [-]rd and [-]rd Divisions of the Ming Army Garrison Division also came to Guangzhou from the north and east of the city.

"Aren't these Tatars stupid?"

Li Zhenhua looked at the closed gates of Guangzhou City and the vertical and horizontal ravines dug outside the city and couldn't help but smacked his lips.

It seems that this time there will be no scene where the Tatars form a group to die.

"Sir! There is news from the Jin Yi Guards in the city that Guangzhou General Lu Chongyao has deployed a large number of troops in these trenches."

At this time, a communications soldier came to report.

"Understood, order the artillery units of each division to cover the Qing army's positions outside the city with artillery fire in half an hour. Let's continue for half an hour to see the effect."

Li Zhenhua nodded and immediately ordered.

In the past, the tactics of relying on superior firepower to suppress the city wall and then directly blowing open the city gates to break into the city did not apply here.

The trenches arranged in front of the city wall blocked the Ming army's offensive route. Once the Ming army moved forward, the Qing army hiding inside would inevitably jump out and fight the Ming army in close combat.

The Qing army has an absolute advantage in numbers, and it may not be possible to take advantage of the Ming army in a hand-to-hand battle.

Moreover, Lu Chongyao dug the trench dozens of meters in front of the city wall. The location of the trench was completely within the coverage of the Qing army's bows and muskets on the city wall.

Once the Ming army is entangled by the Qing army hiding in the trenches here, it will be quite troublesome.

Therefore, if you want to capture the city of Guangzhou, you must deal with the Qing troops in the trenches outside the city, and the simplest and most effective method is to cover it with artillery fire!

However, the field guns currently equipped by the Ming Army's artillery force, whether they are 6-pound guns or 12-pound guns, are not powerful enough to pose an effective threat to the Qing army's trenches.

On the other hand, the 82mm mortar can rely on high-throwing ballistics to directly kill personnel inside the trench.But it is not easy to accurately project artillery shells into a trench one or two meters wide.

Fortunately, the Ming army also has a newly equipped killer weapon, the improved version of the Divine Fire Flying Crow!

……

"Made, why haven't these bright bandits come up yet? Are they scared when they see our formation?"

In the trench, a Tatar officer stuck his head out and looked in the direction of the Ming army, which still showed no signs of attack, and couldn't help but complain.

This Eight Banners master was very resentful because in his mind he should have been a warrior on horseback and an eagle on the grassland.

But now, because of the ferocious weapons of the Ming army, the superiors actually asked them to abandon their horses and become marmots here!And we have to wait for the Ming army to attack!

Master Baqi felt insulted.

Once upon a time, their fathers killed the Ming army and the Han people just like killing pigs and dogs.

But now, everything seems to be reversed!

Damn the Ming army, damn the firearms!

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He punched the wall with his fist angrily.

Finally, he kept thinking in his mind that he must kill more when the Ming army comes up later!

While the Eight Banners master was still killing everyone in his mind, a strange and continuous howling sound suddenly sounded from the direction of the Ming army in the distance.

"Whoosh~whoosh~whoosh~whoosh~..."

"Huh? What's the sound?"

This huge roar immediately attracted the attention of the Qing troops in the trenches, and the Eight Banners master was no exception.

He couldn't help but stand up and look up curiously, and then he just stood there in a daze.

In the distance, in the direction of the Ming army, fire dragons were rising from the ground one after another with ear-piercing roars.

The orange-red flames reflected the earth red, and the milky-white smoke billowed like a tide.

As more and more fire dragons rose into the sky, at this moment, the entire world changed color.

"It's so beautiful!"

Master Baqi, whose face was illuminated by the red light, looked at the fire dragon that was getting closer and closer and said infatuatedly.
