The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 215 The Firepower of the Restoration Army
Neither the Qing army nor the Zheng army could understand the operations of the Guangfu army.

But if someone can overlook the entire battlefield from the perspective of God, they will find the included angle of the soil ditch formed on the ground by the artillery shells fired by the Liberation Army every test.

Getting closer to a 45 degree angle!

The gunners of the Liberation Army adjusted the angle of shelling through repeated test firings to ensure that crossfire could be formed on the battlefield.

……

Boom!dong dong!

Boom boom boom!
The dull sound of war drums sounded, and the Qing army entered within a kilometer range.

The messengers of the Restoration Army played a set of semaphore!
In an instant, the twelve-pound field artillery in the artillery position of the Liberation Army began to roar.

At this time, the Liberation Army's test firing was no longer scattered, but all the twelve-pound cannons fired almost simultaneously, and began to fire rapidly.

Strive to deliver more and stronger firepower in the shortest possible time.

The range of a kilometer is not yet within the range of a six-pound gun, but for a twelve-pound field gun, this distance is just right.

Cannonballs were fired at the array of Qing troops who were still walking!
The shell landed on the ground, and continued to roll forward, unscrupulously releasing its kinetic energy, smashing holes in the ground.

Sand and gravel splash!

A shell obliquely crashed into the formation of the Qing army, tearing apart the soldiers of the Qing army where it passed.

Broken internal organs and broken limbs are everywhere!

Finally, the kinetic energy of the cannonball was exhausted, and it was spinning on the ground.

It was covered with blood and colorful internal organs.

boom!Boom!

Boom boom boom!
The sound of violent shelling rang out one after another.

The speed of the shelling was very fast, and the gunners were skillfully carrying out the loading work.

Gunpowder smoke filled the air, almost blocking everyone's sight!
The Qing army marched forward with difficulty under the artillery fire of the Ming army, and people were smashed into the city by shells every moment.

The roar of artillery and the screams of soldiers together constitute the symphony on the battlefield.

Finally, the Qing army withstood the shelling, and after paying a huge price of casualties, came to a distance of 700 meters in front of the recovery army.

Yan Zitong's order changed, and the Qing army changed from walking to jogging.

The speed suddenly increased a lot!

However, before they had time to rejoice, the six-pound field artillery of the Liberation Army also opened fire.

The sound of the guns became more and more intensive!
Dense shells were fired at the Qing army, taking away lives.

Although the battlefield was filled with gunpowder smoke, it blocked the sight of the artillerymen of the Liberation Army.

However, the obstruction of the line of sight did not affect the accuracy of the Liberation Army's shelling.

Because before the war, the Liberation Army had passed test firing and determined the shooting elements needed to strike targets at different distances.

All the gunners need to do is to load and fire according to the command of the officer.

There is no need to see the battlefield clearly at all!
The Qing army was almost defeated!
The artillery of the Liberation Army was too accurate and the rate of fire was too fast.

Especially in this situation where the Qing army used a dense array to charge, almost every time the Liberation Army fired a cannon, it could take away several lives!
The battlefield soon became full of corpses!

Finally, some recovery soldiers used flower bombs!

boom!Boom!

Compared with solid bullets, the firing accuracy of strip-shaped blooming bullets is more accurate.

A flowering bomb headed towards the Qing army formation.

The shells fell head-down into the Qing army's formation, killing a Qing army soldier.

Then stab the ground, exposing most of the projectile.

The next moment, the fuse burned out, and there was a loud bang.

The warhead at the rear of the flower bomb exploded, and fragments and flames swept around. In just an instant, everything around was emptied.

The originally intact soldiers of the Qing army turned into broken corpses.

The thin cotton armor on their bodies looked vulnerable to the explosive bullets, and they were easily thought of.

Explosions rang out one after another on the battlefield!
Faced with the bombardment pressure of the Restoration Army, the Qing Army could no longer hold on. Although they did not collapse, their attack had changed from a run to a full sprint at some point.

It seems that this is the only way to vent their inner fear!
Those who can withstand the enemy's shelling and advance in an orderly manner are all absolutely strong troops.

The Eight Banners soldiers of the Qing Army in this era may be able to do it, but the facts have proved that the Qiongzhou Green Camp will definitely not be able to do it.

Charging at full speed can indeed relieve fear, but the moment they started running, the Qing army's offensive array was thrown into chaos.

The dark Qing army huddled together and charged towards the formation of the Restoration Army.

Without panic, Zhu Hongyu ordered the army to respond properly. The musketeers raised their guns in unison, aiming their black muzzles at the front.

After the Qing army rushed to the distance of a hundred steps in front of the recovery army's array, the grassroots officer of the recovery army commanded the sword to be unsheathed and swung it vigorously.

"Everyone has it, three rows of bursts!"

The next moment, bang!Clap!Clap clap!
Thousands of muskets pulled the triggers in unison, and the gunshots gathered together.

The roar of the cannon was almost covered up.

The Qing army that was charging was like cutting wheat, and fell down a large area in one fell swoop.

Some people were shot dead on the spot, but some were lucky enough to survive, falling to the ground and wailing extremely terribly!
The lead bullets pierced through the cotton armor and embedded themselves in the human body, crushing the bones and internal organs of the human body.

If it is the Eight Banners heavy step of the Qing army, at a distance of one hundred steps, even if the Guangfu army uses a heavy matchlock gun, it may not be able to penetrate the armor.

But now they are only facing a group of green battalion soldiers!

These green battalion soldiers are not equipped with many armors, and they are basically cotton armors left over from the Ming Dynasty.

The quality can be imagined!

Faced with such a green battalion, the large-caliber muskets of the Liberation Army have no problem breaking through armor at a hundred steps.

After the first row of musketeers of the Liberation Army fired a volley, they retreated and pushed to the rear of the three-row array for loading.

The musketeers of the second row stepped forward to aim and shoot, and the musketeers of the third row got ready.

Snapped!clap clap!

The Liberation Army methodically used the three-stage attack tactic.

Gunshots rang out one after another, and people from the charging Qing army fell to the ground one after another, howling miserably.

The smoke on the battlefield is getting thicker and thicker!
Finally, the distance between the two sides was less than twenty steps, and it was time for hand-to-hand combat.

A hasty whistle sounded!
The musketeers of the Restoration Army quickly loaded the muskets with bayonets.

The sharp bayonets formed a dazzling forest of bayonets, and the next moment, the charge began!

The neat bayonet charge of the Restoration Army collided head-on with the obviously weak charge of the Qing Army!

When the bayonet sees red, the hand-to-hand combat begins!

In just an instant, the charge of the Qing army was defeated!

Countless soldiers of the Qing army dropped their weapons, turned around and fled.

The defeat of the Qing army is already the general trend!
The whole battlefield was full of routs of the Qing army.

Seeing this scene, Yan Zitong was shocked, but he was still unwilling to accept the reality.

We still have to organize the Qing army to resist to the end!
The offensive of the Restoration Army was very fierce. Amidst the rumble of shelling, they shouted the slogan "Expel the Tartars and restore China", and launched charges again and again.

Crush all the resistance organized by Yan Zitong!
