Anti-Qing: Starting from the Reincarnation of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 107 Lost
The Qing army quickly organized an offensive again and headed towards the fort.

The heads formed a surging crowd, constantly moving forward, as if anything that dared to stand in front of them would be destroyed.

The cannons on the fort were still rumbling.

The bullets swept across, and wherever the bullets passed, there were corpses lying down, and there was a bloody wind.

The Qing army's offensive was once again frustrated...

The open space in front of the fort was filled with corpses.

There were faint moans among the pile of corpses.

But what sounded immediately was the sound of bursts of musket shooting.

The black muzzles of the guns were aimed at the open space in front of the fort, and the triggers were pulled.

Gunshots rang out, and Qing troops charging from time to time fell to the ground.

There were also projectiles hitting the bodies lying on the ground, causing clouds of blood to burst out.

Yang Ping clenched the command knife in his hand and directed the artillery fire in the fort to suppress the Qing army's offensive.

"The target is nine o'clock, a depression 140 meters away."

"The No. 04 gun crew is preparing to fire, use shotgun shells, and suppress fire."

The 04 gun crew received the order, quickly completed the loading, then adjusted the shooting elements, and then fired.

There was a boom of artillery, and a scream came from the depression 140 meters away at nine o'clock.

The dense shells on the battlefield can be called a life harvester.

As the projectiles passed by, the Qing troops fell to the ground one by one. Even if they were hiding in the depressions, they were still at risk of being hit by the projectiles.

Yang Ping looked calm and continued to direct the battle.

"The target is seven o'clock, a low wall 200 meters away."

"09, No. 10 Battery Group, switch to using solid bullets to fire in turns to carry out fire strikes!"

The next moment, the sound of artillery sounded again, and thick smoke instantly filled the entire fort.

A large amount of gunpowder smoke poured out from the entrance of the fort, as well as the lookout port and the shooting hole.

A black cannonball shot towards the low wall.

With a bang, a large hole was directly punched into the low wall by the kinetic energy carried by the cannonball, and then it quickly collapsed.

Several Qing soldiers were also torn apart by shells that smashed through the low wall, but they did not die for a while and let out shrill screams.

After the low wall collapsed, the Qing army behind the wall was completely exposed to the firing range of the Ming army's fort.

Immediately afterwards, there was another cannon blast.

Another solid artillery shell was fired. The heavy artillery shell carried terrifying kinetic energy and flew directly into the Qing army's formation.

Wherever the shells passed, a bloody path was opened, and a large number of Qing soldiers were smashed into limbs and arms...

Seeing that the bunker was gone, the remaining Qing troops retreated.

Yang Ping was obviously relieved when he saw this.

Fortunately, I and others repelled another Qing attack.

In fact, the current situation in the fort is very dangerous.

Under siege from all sides by the Qing army, it was quite difficult for the fort to hold on.

Everything we are doing now is actually more like a death struggle.

If it weren't for the Qing army's greed for life and fear of heavy casualties, most people would not dare to risk their lives. Their legs would weaken as soon as they saw the muzzle of the cannon, and they would run away as soon as they heard the sound of the cannon.

I'm afraid the fort has already been captured!

……

He Gui kept pacing under the banner, looking increasingly anxious.

"What's going on?! What's going on?!"

"With dozens of thieves guarding such a fort, my thousands of troops can't take it down even if they die?!"

He Gui was extremely angry, and his face was even more gloomy and scary.

After hearing this, a general stood up and said.

"When we return to the military gate, there is an open space in front of the fort. There is not even a cover. Every time the Ming thief's artillery fires, it sweeps away everything. Our army really can't attack."

He Gui heard this and scolded angrily.

"You fart!"

"Is it possible that we can't fight without cover? The Ming thief only has one fort, how many cannons can he have?"

"Even if they fire non-stop, how many people can be killed and injured?"

"I rushed up with my head covered in one breath, and the fort was trapped. Everyone cowered. Isn't the Ming thief's fort impregnable?!"

He Gui was extremely annoyed now, but there was nothing he could do.

He knew that the green soldiers under his command were dead, but he never imagined that they would be like this.

A fort garrisoned by dozens of remnant soldiers, their thousands of troops could not defeat it despite being beaten ten times or so.

As for sending someone to supervise the battle...

how to say.

The Qing court's green camp military system was actually the same as the Ming Dynasty's guardhouse, which was also a world-wide military system.

The soldiers and generals in the Green Camp have inherited this tradition from generation to generation, and most of them are uncles and brothers. Even the soldiers below are mostly relatives and old friends.

You're kidding if you expect Green Camp to supervise itself.

How many people in this world can wield a knife against their uncles, brothers, relatives and friends without any psychological pressure?

It is definitely useless to expect Luying to supervise the battle on his own.

You have to have strangers come to supervise the battle so that you can carry out the attack!

For example, in the battle of Deqingzhou where the Ming Dynasty annihilated the main force of the Qing army in Guangdong, the people responsible for supervising the battle were not the Qing army's green battalions.

It is the supervision standard of the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, and the Eight Banners of the General of Guangzhou.

Du Biao and the Eight Banners were not members of the same system as the ordinary Green Camp soldiers. Because of this, they could act without any scruples.

Only by supervising the war can it be effective!
At this moment, a messenger came trotting to report.

"Report!"

"Reporting to the military gate, Wang Kang, a gentry from Guixian County, and Niu Tingtong are asking for an audience."

When He Gui heard this, he thought for a while, then his eyes suddenly lit up and he spoke.

"Pass! Pass!"

The order summoned by He Gui was issued, and not long after, Wang Kang and Niu Tong, the gentry from your county, came to see him.

When He Gui saw several people approaching, he took the initiative to take a few steps forward to greet them.

"Haha, this town is very pleased that all the wise men in the countryside can raise troops to fight against the thieves and protect the Qing Dynasty. Haha, I am very pleased."

"After the war against thieves in Guangxi is over, I will definitely go to the imperial court and reward all the local sages."

When Wang Kang and others heard this, they didn't dare to show off, and they all knelt down and kowtowed.

"Students pay homage to the army!"

He Gui stretched out his hand to help Wang Kang and others up one by one, and said.

"Don't be too polite."

"You gentlemen have come at the right time."

"The remnants of the Ming thieves were entrenched in the forts and resisted stubbornly. However, the imperial army was unable to attack for a long time due to their fatigue in morale and morale due to long-term battles."

"All the local sages have come here this time to make a great contribution to the imperial court..."

When Wang Kang and others heard this, they couldn't help but feel a little thump in their hearts.

But facing He Gui, the commander-in-chief of Nanning, no one dared to refuse him, so they could only nod and agree.

……

The next day, the sky brightened.

The golden morning glow dyed the whole world a golden color.

Looking from a distance, the trees are dyed, and everything is beautiful.

Yang Ping stood up from the gun emplacement and stretched, all the bones in his body were crackling.

Enjoying the feeling of the morning sun spreading on his face, Yang Ping slowly exhaled a breath and narrowed his eyes comfortably.

What kind of situation was he facing now? Therefore, he regarded this moment as his last time to enjoy the morning sun.

Suddenly, Yang Ping's slightly squinted eyes suddenly widened.

What did he see?
On the flat ground in the distance, a large black mass of human heads appeared.Countless Qing soldiers and horses slowly advanced forward and launched another attack on the fort.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

"The Dog Tartars are coming again. Let's all prepare for war..."

Yang Ping shouted at the top of his lungs.

When the remnants of the Ming army in the fort heard this, they all became frightened from the ground. Those who held guns and those who fired cannons were ready to fight the invading enemy.

As the Ming army on the fort noticed the enemy attack, the Qing army also reacted and began to charge towards the fort with all its strength.

boom!Boom!

The sound of artillery boomed, and dense rounds of projectiles flew past the Qing army's array.

The soldiers of the Qing Dynasty who rushed to the front fell to the ground row after row like wheat.

However, the Qing army's offensive did not collapse directly like the previous offensive, but continued to move forward.

Yang Ping couldn't help but frown.

He felt that something was wrong with the Qing army this time.

They were a little too tenacious...

Compared with the previous Qing troops who were greedy for life and fearful of death, they were two extremes.

"Kill!"

"Long live the Qing Dynasty! Serve the country by defeating the traitors!"

"Kill the thief! Kill the thief!"

"..."

The Qing army shouted "kill" from top to bottom and kept surging forward.

Finally, as the distance got closer, the Ming army in the fort could clearly see the clothes of the Qing army rushing at the front.

"No, the ones rushing in front are not Qing troops, they look like militia..."

A gunner next to Yang Ping pointed outside, pointed in the direction of the Qing army coming up, and said loudly.

When Yang Ping heard this, he suddenly realized.

"It seems that the rebels who came here this time are rebels from your county. No wonder they look like a different person compared to the previous Qing army."

Compared with the green camp soldiers' greed for life and fear of death, the militia still dare to fight and can fight.

Although on a large-scale frontal battlefield that requires cooperation, there is a high probability that the militia will not be able to defeat the green camp soldiers.

But when it comes to not being afraid of death, the Green Camp cannot keep up with the militia even if they try to flatter them...

Boom!Boom!
The artillery on the Ming army's fort continued to roar, but it could not stop the Qing army's offensive.

The Qing army took the militia as the forerunner, and used the green battalion to supervise the battle and suppress the formation, and pressed forward mightily towards the fort.

Several artillery pieces on the Ming army's fort fired continuously, but they were unable to hinder the Qing army's offensive.

The Ming army has too few troops!
After paying a certain amount of casualties, the Qing army quickly carried the artillery fire and fought to the outside of the fort.

The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, armed with spears and muskets, stepped forward to fight with the Qing army.

The two sides fought together.

The sound of shouting and killing keeps ringing!

Although the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were brave and brave, they did not have the numerical advantage after all, and they soon fell into a disadvantage.

People continued to die under the siege of the Qing army.

Turned into cold corpses.

Yang Ping swung his knife and swung away a spear that was stabbing his chest, but he was slashed on the back, causing the flesh to turn out and blood to flow out.

The ribs were also struck horizontally by a spear, and the sound of bones breaking was extremely clear.

"what……"

Yang Ping let out a cry of pain and fell to the ground.

Several sharp spears pierced his face. Yang Ping rolled on the ground and dodged.

The sharp spearhead grazed his cheek and pierced into the ground.

Yang Ping rolled continuously and struggled to get up from the ground under the cover of an artillery piece.

He looked around, looking at the Ming soldiers who were dead and wounded inside and outside the fort. Yang Ping seemed to have made up his mind, and he let out a painful roar in his throat.

"Kill!"

While shouting, he quietly took out a gunpowder from his arms, blew it, and threw it to the open gunpowder barrel aside...

After throwing out the fire seal, Yang Ping shouted to kill and rushed towards the enemy in front of him.

"Expel the Tartars and restore China!"

"Fight the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, and revive China!"

"Kill, you dog Tatars, let them all die..."

With a pop, Yang Ping was pierced through the chest and abdomen by a spear before he could get closer with his sword.

The sharp spear tip penetrated from his back, dripping with blood, the scene was shocking.

Blood gushed out from Yang Ping's mouth, but his face was full of relief, and he was still trying to swing the saber in his hand.

"Da...Da Ming...Wan Sheng!"

But before he finished speaking, Yang Ping lost his voice and his arms drooped weakly.

Seeing this, a Qing soldier stepped forward and prepared to chop off Yang Ping's head to take credit.

But at this moment, the other people on the side all looked horrified...

Black smoke began to rise from the powder barrel next to an artillery piece.

"Damn, the gunpowder has been ignited by a thief, run away..."

"It's going to explode, everyone, run!"

"..."

Everyone was shouting, but it was too late, before the Qing troops who poured into the fort could escape.

There was an explosion!
Rumble!
Rumble!
A puff of smoke rushed into the sky, followed by a burst of fire.

The rumbling explosion quickly spread...

The entire fort was submerged in the explosion.

He Gui heard the explosion on the other side of the fort. He was talking to Wang Kang and others and subconsciously turned his head to look.

Then he saw the smoke and fire rising from the fort, as well as the artillery that was lifted into the sky by the shock wave of the explosion, and the artillery that fell to the ground and deformed.

Snap, a broken leg was blown far away and landed in front of He Gui.

Looking at the red flesh and blood, the pale yellow fat, and the white bone stubble, He Gui's face twitched visibly again.

However, He Gui's expression improved after a moment.

Because the fall of the fort symbolized the complete loss of the Ming army's defense line in Daling Village.

It also means that the main force of the Qing army can leap over Guixian and advance into the heart of the Ming army...

……

After the Qing army completely conquered the defense line of Daling Village, they began to advance towards Guixian County.

It was the 140th year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty and the 42nd year of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty.

On the third day of July, the Qing army broke through the defense line of Daling Village and advanced into Guixian County.

On the fifth day of July, the Qing army broke through the county seat of Guixian County and headed towards Xunzhou Prefecture.

On the tenth day of July, the main force of the Qing army advanced outside Xunzhou City.

The war broke out and the Qing army began to attack Xunzhou Fucheng.

The current magistrate of Xunzhou in the Ming Dynasty is Fang Kunzheng, the former magistrate of Wuxuan County.

After he surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, he changed his name and surname, and was appointed as the magistrate of Xunzhou, responsible for many matters inside and outside Xunzhou.

It can be regarded as being entrusted with an important task!
Fang Kun, surrounded by several soldiers, strode to the top of the city and looked out of the city.

Looking at the dark main force of the Qing army that appeared outside the city, Fang Kunzheng's legs and feet felt extremely weak.

"Gentlemen... generals, the Tatar army has arrived. How should we repel the enemy?"

……
