The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 262
And more importantly, most of the wounded in the Liberation Army can be rescued!
For wounds caused by cold weapons, as long as the bleeding is stopped, disinfected and cleaned with alcohol, and the wound is sutured well to ensure that the wound does not become inflamed and purulent, there is a high probability that people will survive.

But injuries caused by firearms are generally irreparable!
Needless to say, the artillery, as long as it is touched by the shells, at least it is missing arms and legs.

Just one hemorrhage can guarantee that the wounded have no chance of surviving!

It is even more pitiful to be hit by a musket, and lead bullets are soft.

Especially when it is shot from the barrel, due to the high temperature formed by the gunpowder, the lead bullet is more like a mouthful of thick phlegm.

After hitting the human body, the lead bullet will become countless tiny pieces in the human body!

Wound inflammation and heavy metal poisoning are unavoidable!

Soldiers shot will die in long agony!
Even the Liberation Army had only amputation or gouging out a large piece of flesh and blood to heal injuries caused by firearms.

Not to mention the Qing army!
What's more, this time the Qing army came to the Leizhou Peninsula, it was a light cavalry attack, and the speed was indeed there, which caught the Guangfu army by surprise.

However, Qingqi's rush also made the Qing army not have enough logistical support!
The current Qing army has no military medical officers at all!
A large number of wounded soldiers of the Qing army could only howl in pain and wait for death.

……

In a fierce battle, both the Restoration Army and the Qing Army suffered heavy losses.

The Restoration Army retreated to the defense line of the fortress along the coast, preparing to rely on the defense system formed mainly by trenches and forts to inflict heavy damage on the invading Qing cavalry.

The Qing army also stopped its offensive against the Restoration Army after suffering heavy losses, and planned to wait for the main force of the army to arrive before launching an offensive.

In this way, the two sides made peace for a short time!

The firefight stopped!
Zhu Hongyu convened a meeting of the generals of the recovery army to discuss how to deal with it.

On the one hand, he ordered people to unload some light artillery from the ship to strengthen the firepower of the fort.

On the one hand, he ordered people to widen and deepen the trenches to prepare for restraining the Qing cavalry.

The biggest threat to the Restoration Army is the cavalry of the Qing Army!

If the forward of the Qing army is not two thousand cavalry, but two thousand infantry.

The Liberation Army doesn't need to retreat in embarrassment at all!

It is even possible to rely on the superior force to completely destroy this forward of the Qing army before the main force of the Qing army arrives!

Of course, if the Qing army hadn't relied on the fact that they were all cavalry and could come and go flexibly, they wouldn't have dared to rush directly to the city of Leizhou in such a big way.

The Restoration Army was fully preparing for the battle, and the main force of the Qing Army led by Shang Zhixiao was getting closer and closer to the front line of Leizhou.

The cavalry of the Qing army came covering the sky and covering the sun, and accompanied the army to escort a large number of civilians!
In fact, if it weren't for these people who were to be used as cannon fodder to slow down the marching speed of the main force of the Qing army!

Now it is not the two thousand vanguard cavalry of the Qing army who have killed the city of Leizhou, but the main force of the Qing army!

……

The second day of October in the 16th year of the Yongli calendar!
The second day of the fierce battle outside Leizhou City!
Just as Zhu Hongyu got up, he opened the curtain of the military tent and walked outside. When he looked up, he saw the gloomy sky.

The sun was obscured by dark clouds, and the air was heavy with humidity.

Zhu Hongyu couldn't help frowning.

"It looks like it's going to rain!"

The main force of the Qing army was getting closer and closer to Leizhou. After the First World War yesterday, the sentry cavalry of the Restoration Army detected that the main force of the Qing army was less than ten miles away from Leizhou.

Just yesterday evening, the cavalry of the Qing army arrived outside Leizhou city!
It's just that the sky was completely dark at that time, so the Qing army did not launch an attack.

There is a tacit understanding between the two sides, and today is the day when the decisive battle breaks out.

Smoke rose from the sky above the camps on both sides, and fires were started to make food.

Zhu Hongyu ordered the Liberation Army to set up canopies for the forts and trenches in advance to prevent rain.

After the two sides finished their breakfast, the battlefield sounded dull horns.

Amid the low and powerful sound of horns, a large number of cavalrymen of the Qing army rode out of the camp with bows and knives, and assembled on the wide battlefield.

The musketeers and gunners of the Ming army also entered their positions.

The battlefield is clouded with clouds, and the atmosphere is getting more and more gloomy!
The dark clouds in the sky gradually became thicker and darker!
Just when Zhu Hongyu thought that the Qing army was about to launch an attack, the Qing army drove out a large number of unarmed civilians from the camp.

Zhu Hongyu narrowed his eyes, as if a dark cloud appeared on his face, and the palm of the hand holding the binoculars burst out with veins.

He seemed to have guessed what the Qing army wanted to do!
As he expected, in the next moment, the cavalry of the Qing army bent their bows and set up arrows, and then shot at the unarmed civilians.

puff!puff!puff!

The sharp arrows pierced through the human body, nailing the common people to the ground one by one.

Some people did not die for a while, and let out a shrill scream.

The rest of the people were terrified, and were driven by the Qing army, and came towards the trench defense line of the Restoration Army.

Zhu Hongyu was holding the binoculars in his hand, his face was gloomy and frightening.

The surrounding generals of the Restoration Army saw this recruitment, and their eyes were tearing apart.

"How could the Qing prisoners do this? How dare they expel the people to the battlefield?"

"It should be killed, the Qing prisoner should be killed!"

"..."

The generals of the recovery army could not have imagined that the Qing army could be so despicable.

However, seeing the people getting closer and closer to the defense line of the Liberation Army, the generals of the Liberation Army showed eagerness on their faces.

"His Royal Highness, how should our army respond!"

"Your Highness, those people are getting closer and closer to us!"

"..."

Facing the questioning of his generals, Zhu Hongyu didn't say a word.

Holding the binoculars, he continued to look at the scene where the Qing army drove out the people on the battlefield, the expression on his face was extremely ugly.

Faintly, the people's cries could still be heard from the Guangfu Army's side.

"Help!"

"Don't kill us!"

"We are all Han Chinese, don't kill us!"

"..."

The headquarters of the Liberation Army fell silent, and the soldiers on the front line also stared blankly at the scene in front of them, not knowing whether to fire or not.

When they received ideological education in the new barracks, they were constantly instilled in the concept that the recovery army was the master of the Ming Dynasty, and that they should be loyal to the supervisory state and protect the people of the Ming Dynasty.

Looking at those unarmed people, compatriots, they really can't do anything!

Zhu Hongyu took a deep breath and said while clutching his chest.

"The Qing captives are shameless, harming my people, hurting me too!"

After saying that, he fell back and closed his eyes, as if he had passed out.

Wang Ruxian beside him supported Zhu Hongyu, and then moved a chair for Zhu Hongyu to sit down.

Just when everyone was at a loss, Wang Ruxian stood up and said as if he had made up his mind.

"His Royal Highness Jian Guo's order is to open fire immediately on the front line, and those who violate the military law will be punished!"

"But anyone who is close to our defense line, kill!"

While speaking, he ran outside to deliver the order.

When Zhu Hongyu heard Wang Ruxian's words, although he was still pretending to be unconscious, his heart was full of approval.

He is the supervisor of the Ming Dynasty, and no matter what, he cannot give the order to kill unarmed people!

However, the Qing army must not be allowed to drive the people away and break through the defense line that the Guangfu army worked so hard to manage.

Otherwise, once the scum of the Qing army tastes the sweetness, there will be no end to such things in the future!

The Qing army expelled the people in every battle, so how could the Guangfu army fight?

Simply surrender, shave your hair and dress easily as a slave!
