The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 235

In the 16th year of the Yongli calendar of the Ming Dynasty, the first year of Kangxi in the puppet Qing Dynasty, April [-]th.

The Ming army officially launched a general attack on the Humen Fort!

boom!Boom!

The heavy artillery roared continuously, and the shells seemed to be free of money, and they were thrown towards the Humen Fort.

The fleet led by Ma Xin aimed at the fort and opened fire!
The fleet's heavy artillery fired continuously to cover the landing of the Ming army's marine troops.

Small boats moved forward quickly, leaving ripples on the sea, heading towards Humen.

The Liberation Army waded ashore, and then each lay down to find a bunker!
Snapped!clap clap!

The sound of gunfire kept ringing.

A lead bullet hit the fort, and earth and rocks splashed.

A team of people suppressed with firepower, and a team of people advanced the front line, and in this way, the marine troops of the Liberation Army continued to advance towards the fort.

The gunshots kept ringing, and from time to time, the Qing army in the fort was shot to death!

Cannonballs and lead bullets flew across the fort!

collapse!Bumble!

The archers and shotgunners of the Qing army also fought back.

Casualties continue to appear on the side of the Liberation Army!

Fortunately, the soldiers of the Restoration Army wore breastplates, and at a certain distance, the bows and arrows and shotguns of the Qing Army could not penetrate the armor.

From time to time, you can see the soldiers of the Liberation Army with several arrows stuck in their chests, but they are still fighting vigorously.

No effect at all!

The muskets of the Qing army were bird guns, which were accurate, but their range and power were not enough.

The lead bullets hit the breastplate of the Liberation Army, and they couldn't break the armor at all.

That lethality is not as good as the archer's armor-piercing heavy arrow!
The grenadiers of the Liberation Army entered the field, and they rushed towards the Humen Fort with grenades on their backs.

Leave a corpse along the way!

Blood stained the beach in front of the Humen Fort!
Blood gradually gathered in the potholes made by the shells!

A big foot stepped on the pothole, and bright red blood splashed everywhere.

There is only a determined back left in place!

Under the military order, go forward!

The Liberation Army suffered a lot of casualties on the beach, but their attack speed was quite fast.

Heavy artillery fire pressure, musketeers suppress local firepower, grenades clear the way, and heavy armored soldiers stepped forward to fight, opening up the situation.

In just two quarters of an hour, the heavy armored infantry of the Restoration Army boarded the fort and strangled with the Green Battalion garrisoned by the Qing Army.

The heavy armored soldiers almost unilaterally slaughtered the green battalion of the Qing army!

The scene was like the heavy steps of the Eight Banners of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, facing the unarmored guards of the Ming Dynasty.

In fact, before the San Francisco Rebellion, although the Manchu Qing restricted the military force of the Han people, the armor rate of the green battalion soldiers was not low.

From a written point of view, the armor rate of the green battalion is nearly half!
Not too low!
The Qing court did not put armor on the green camp at all, that was after San Francisco.

The Green Battalion soldier facing the Restoration Army now has less than [-]% armor.

But it's not that the green camp of the Qing army is so rotten at this time!
It's because the defenders in Humen are all artillery, and the cotton armor in the green battalion is concentrated on the side of the hand-to-hand soldiers.

It is normal for the artillery to have a lower armor penetration rate!

Because of the heavy armor, it will hinder the loading action of the artillery.

The less than [-]% armor-wearing rate of the Humen Fort Green Battalion was basically contributed by the soldiers of the participating general Huang Zhongyuan.

Facing such a Qing army with almost zero hand-to-hand combat ability, at the moment when the heavy armored infantry of the Liberation Army went into battle.

Victory and defeat!

The two sides strangled together, and the heavy armored infantry of the Liberation Army quickly broke through.

Wei Wu was wearing heavy armor, breathing heavily, and rushed to the front.

Facing the enemy who came face to face, he directly slammed into it mercilessly.

The inertia brought by the heavy armor, coupled with his strength, the two Qing soldiers on the opposite side couldn't resist at all.

With a muffled bang, a member of the Green Camp of the Qing army was hit, his head was bleeding, and he passed out!
Wei Wu swung his saber vigorously, the horse-chopping saber in his hand flashed, and another Qing soldier was cut into two from the waist and abdomen.

Blood was sprayed, and wriggling viscera were all over the floor!

Several Qing soldiers rushed from all directions, and they slashed at their heads with a long knife.

Wei Wu tilted his body, and the blade of the long knife slid along the smooth surface of the plate armor.

The Qing army with a knife slashed into the air, and the center of gravity was unstable!
It's just that before he had time to adjust, the head was thrown out.

Wei Wu's eyes were extremely sharp and murderous. The long training and fighting on the battlefield turned him into a mature veteran.

Wei Wu had just killed the Qing soldier when a strong force came from behind him.

A Qing soldier flew over and threw him to the ground.

The surrounding Qing troops rushed up, trying to take off his armor and kill him.

With a loud roar, Wei Wu threw his fist at a Qing soldier pressing on him.

Hit it with your fist, bite it with your teeth, hit it with your head...

Wei Wu fought desperately with the Qing army pressing on him!

However, as more and more Qing troops were pressing on him, Wei Wu felt that the plate armor on his chest had been deformed.

His lungs were squeezed severely, and it became increasingly difficult to breathe.

The vision in front of me was blurred for a while!
However, at this moment, there was a sound of shouting and killing.

Wei Wu only felt the flash of his knife, and a large stream of blood splashed on his face.

The weight on his body also suddenly lightened!
Wei Wu wiped the blood off his face, and saw his comrades come up to kill him. The Green Battalion soldiers of the Qing army who were pressing on him just now had been chopped into two pieces by the saber.

"Made, my name is Wei Wu, what's your brother's name?"

"Brother, save your life, remember!"

Wei Wu cupped his fists and said to the comrade who had just rescued him.

But they didn't speak, but each went to the enemy.

On the battlefield, experienced veterans don't waste energy by yelling, and try not to speak if they can.

Wei Wu let out a violent cough, and his lungs were very uncomfortable being squeezed by the deformed breastplate.

He simply took off the breastplate, wearing only the cloak, arm armor, and skirt armor, grabbed the saber at hand, and rushed to the battlefield again.

The heavy armor equipped by the Restoration Army for the heavy armored infantry is not purely Western-style plate armor!
It's a mix of Chinese and Western styles!
The breastplate is a Western-style plate armor, while the shoulders, arm armor, skirt armor and other parts are all Chinese-style armor.

Layers of nails overlap, and the protection is quite good!
After putting on the whole set of Western-style plate armor, it hinders the movement too much!
Although the defense is quite good, but in terms of flexibility, it is far inferior to the Chinese armor!

Therefore, Zhu Hongyu did not equip the heavy armored infantry of the Liberation Army with a full set of western-style plate armor!
Instead, use such nondescript messes!
It works surprisingly well!
The sound of shouting and killing rang out, and more and more recovery troops entered the fort. The well-trained heavy armored infantry no longer fought alone, but began to fight in formation.

Constantly squeezing the living space of the green battalion soldiers of the Qing army!

The sound of shouting and killing keeps ringing!

Huang Zhongyuan looked at the heavy armored infantrymen of the Liberation Army who kept coming up, with deep despair flashing in his eyes.

He knew that he was finished!
I lost the Humen Fort, not to mention the official position of the general, maybe I won't even be able to save my life!
"kill!"

The soldiers around him continued to die in battle, and more and more ordinary green battalion soldiers chose to surrender.

In desperation, Huang Zhongyuan pulled out his saber with a clang, laid it across his neck, and shouted loudly.

"At this level, we are already worthy of the military salary given by the Qing Dynasty!"

"After I die, everyone can surrender in order to survive!"

"So-and-so Huang Zhongyuan, I'm sorry brothers!"
