The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 458 Explain?

Wei Tai looked at the terrain outside Guilin City, pondered for a while, and then spoke.

"Advance in zigzag trenches on the frontal battlefield!"

"Wide the section of the trench for the arrangement of artillery..."

"In addition, our army can also transport some small cannons that are convenient for transportation to the mountains outside Guilin City!"

"Condescend, use artillery to bombard the city wall of Guilin, or extend the range of fire, aiming at the city and firing."

The mountains outside Guilin City are very important for the Ming army to attack the city.

A hindrance indeed!
But if done right, obstacles don't necessarily fail to turn into help.

It doesn't need much, the Ming army only needs to pull three or five small cannons to the mountain, and aim at the city of Guilin for two rounds.

The morale blow to the Guilin defenders is unimaginable!
Wei Tai's words made Liu Shantai's complexion move, obviously nodding in approval.

Although Daming has the landlords and gentry in Guilin as internal support, it cannot be entirely dependent on them being wrong.

How do you say that, there is only a world that has been fought, but not a world that has been talked about!
"Well, let the engineers take the civilian husband and start doing it!"

Liu Shantai ordered casually.

Wei Tai nodded slightly. Whether it was digging trenches outside Guilin City or transporting artillery to the mountains outside the city, civilian husbands were required to participate in the process.

……

Li Tianguang stood with a group of his fellow countrymen, looking at the distant city of Guilin, his face was full of emotion.

Guilin City!
That's Guilin City!
How long has it been since the army left Xinhui, it took just over two months to kill all the way from Guangdong to Guilin.

Wherever they pass, they will fall in anticipation of the wind, depending on the transmission, and the whole journey is mighty and majestic!

He has seen what it means to be a master of the Han family, and what is the aspiration of the people!
Countless fortified cities and strongholds either surrendered or were turned into ruins under the artillery of Wang Shi.

Wherever the army passed by, there was never a break in the scene of eating pots of oatmeal to meet the king's teacher!

All places have sent generous rewards!

When the army eats every day, they basically never stop eating meat.

Even these civilian men who accompanied the army were also dipped in the glory and drank a lot of broth. Those who performed more prominently in their daily work were even allowed to eat and drink with the army.

Those big slices of fat meat are really tempting!
Although when they first started eating, because their stomachs couldn't adapt to oily meat, there were not a few people who started to have loose bowels as soon as they finished eating.

But the feeling of the oil exploding on the tip of the tongue is really irresistible.

They are also willing to have diarrhea to death!
Li Tianguang spent a few meals with the army because of his active performance at work.

That taste is really unforgettable!
He really didn't expect that the job of a soldier and civilian husband who was thought to be life-threatening would be unexpectedly well paid.

Now Li Tianguang is no longer the dry stick he was at the beginning. There are a lot of muscles on his body, arms, and thighs.

His complexion, which was originally yellow due to lack of nutrition, is now gradually turning red!

"Master, can we go home after we finish Guilin City?"

Li Tianguang asked one of the people next to him, and he was acquainted with the engineers and soldiers like them.

The engineer nodded, then shook his head and said.

"I do not know either!"

"According to the plan, after the battle of Guilin City, the war in Guangxi should come to an end."

"As long as Guilin City falls, there should be no one in Guangxi to resist the Great Tomorrow Soldiers. The next thing is to decide!"

"At that time, you folk husbands will be able to receive the subsidy from the imperial court, and you should go home and do what you should do!"

"But, I heard from the gossip that Wu Sangui from Yunnan and Guizhou has some intentions to send troops to reinforce Guangxi."

"If this is true, then the war in Guangxi will still be easy to fight!"

"At that time, you don't have to think about going home for the time being. Maybe His Highness Jian Guo will send more troops to Guangxi."

Wu Sangui was assassinated, and the news that the assassin claimed to be a member of the Tiandihui has spread completely.

Because he himself was assassinated by an assassin from the Tiandihui, the news that Wu Sangui was going to send troops to fight against Ming could not help but go away.

Although no one knew whether the news was true or not, but because of this, no one dared to regard it as false.

After Zhu Hongyu learned of the news, although he did not order to increase troops to Guangxi, he also ordered the staff to make corresponding preparations for fighting against Wu Sangui's troops in Guangxi.

Actually, after Zhu Hongyu heard that Wu Sangui was assassinated, the assassin claimed to be a member of the Tiandihui.

He is completely dumbfounded!

Because, he really didn't know anything about it.

What's more, at about the same time that Wu Sangui was assassinated, Zhu Hongyu was also assassinated.

Contact before and after, it's done, there is no doubt, this matter is definitely done by me.

However, although he felt wronged, Zhu Hongyu had no intention of explaining.

What a fart to explain, it wasn't something he did in the first place, so there's nothing to explain.

Furthermore, if Zhu Hongyu stood up and explained this matter, wouldn't that mean that Zhu Hongyu was afraid of Wu Sangui and was giving in to Wu Sangui?
Intellectually speaking, Zhu Hongyu should explain it!
But from a political point of view, Zhu Hongyu explained it to him!

The engineer glanced in the direction of Guilin City and said.

"Okay, let's fucking stop talking nonsense!"

"Get ready to work!"

While speaking, he waved his shovel and started to work.

Seeing this scene, the rest of the people also started to do it one after another.

……

The trenches outside the city gradually took shape, and in the zigzag trenches, there were many artillery positions.

The gunners of the Liberation Army are already preparing to adjust the shooting elements of the artillery, making preparations before firing.

The siege troops have also entered the trenches to stand by, rockets have been transported to the front line, and launchers have been set up in the trenches.

On the mountain outside Guilin City, a passage was also cleared by the Ming army, and some small-caliber field artillery and mortars were dragged to the mountain by human dragging.

And on the mountain, arrange artillery positions aimed at the direction of Guilin City.

With the sound of a dull horn, the Ming army took advantage of the situation and launched an attack!

Still the artillery took the lead in speaking!

Boom!Boom!
Amidst the roaring shelling, gunpowder smoke almost covered the entire battlefield.

Solid cannonballs smashed towards Guilin City as if they didn't want money.

Click!

Click!

Click!

The shells hit the city wall mercilessly, and the walls of the city wall were almost leveled.

Broken bricks, sand and soil are flying around!

The ascending troops of the Ming army pushed shield carts and ladders and launched an attack.

The artillery of the Qing army also began to fire, the guns fired in unison, the smoke filled the room, and the lead flew horizontally.

On the shield chariot pushed by the soldiers of the Ming army, the shells were overwhelming, and the sawdust hit by the lead was scattered everywhere.

There were even several shield vehicles that were directly disintegrated and shattered under the bombardment of shells.

In an instant, a large number of soldiers of the Ming army pushing the shield chariot were killed or injured!

The shield car is indeed a bit old-fashioned, but it is not bad for dealing with artillery, especially the front-mounted smoothbore artillery that fires solid bullets.

Even some small-caliber artillery may not be able to blast the moving shield vehicle.

Using the shield car in the siege can greatly reduce the casualties of one's own side.

This is what I have proved with reality!
Surely you can't go wrong!

When the musketeers of the Qing army fired guns at the top of the city, the musketeers of the Ming army also fired neat rows of guns.

Amidst the crackling gunfire, the rifle shooters of the Ming army caused great casualties to the Qing army at the head of the city.

It is unimaginable that the psychological pressure brought by that kind of precise sniping brought to the Qing army defending the city.
