Qianlong: Qing Dynasty?What about my Daqing?

Chapter 217 The blood of the Han nationality should not flow here!

Boom boom boom.

On the battlefield of Nanguantao Town.

The artillery bombardment came one after another.

Shouts and gunshots also intertwined on the battlefield.

At this time, the sky has gradually become clearer.

The sky in the distance has turned pale.

In the early morning of January 1794, 1 AD.

Three hours.

The Taiping army began to shell Taozhen in Nanguan, the Ming army.

However, most of the artillery of the Taiping Army were old-fashioned city defense artillery removed from the walls of various places.

This heavy cast iron front-loading smoothbore gun is extremely cumbersome, inconvenient to move, and can only fire solid bullets or shotguns-both of which can only be aimed directly at the gun, so it is difficult to threaten the Ming army infantry squatting in the pit.

But the Taiping Army had a lot of artillery.

Centralized use of "technical equipment" such as artillery is also one of the basic military principles. Although none of the generals in Liu Zhixie's Taiping Army have received any orthodox military academy training like the officers of the Ming Army.

But they are all "experience streams" from the battlefield, and sometimes they are even more flexible than those from a professional background.

For example, the infantry of the Taiping Army now throw wet quilts on the barbed wire, and then trampled by the infantry, gradually a road that is not hindered by the barbed wire appears.

Although such a soil method can break through the barbed wire.

However, it was difficult to break through the firepower network composed of the artillery and rifled guns of the Ming army.

From the third watch.

The Taiping army continued to attack. Although some soldiers once touched the front of the Ming army's trench, they were indeed repelled by the raindrops of grenades.

The sky at the edge of the day turned fish belly white.

The fiery red sun drilled out from the horizon, and the sun shone on the snow-capped North China Great Plain.

On the ground about a mile to the west of Nanguantao Town, a pile of corpses fell in disorder on the scarlet ground.

The mixture of blood and snow turned the whole land into mud.

"Master Hou, you can't rush anymore! Our people are going to be wiped out!"

Ahead, an officer of the Taiping Army who was knocked back by a burst of grenades knelt in front of Hou Ran Tianyuan of Tongzhou, the Taiping Army who was supervising the battle at the front.

His whole body was covered in blood, and two clear lines appeared on his muddy face covered in crimson.

Tears and snot came out together.

Miserable.

It's too awful.

Where in this world is there such a war.

This is no war at all.

This is to send people to die in batches.

From dawn till dawn.

They didn't even touch the edge of the Ming trenches.

The speed of the dead made these heavenly fighters who had come all the way to the battle change their colors.

"The Heavenly King has an order, continue to attack, and those who fail to advance after hearing the drum will be cut off!"

Ran Tianyuan gritted his teeth and drew out his sword, and led the supervising team forward. After gathering the defeated soldiers, they formed an infantry formation, and once again launched an attack on the Ming army's defense and land requisition in front.

The Tuanlong flag and the Daming Sun and Moon flag of the Great Mingzi are flying high not far ahead.

This short distance of less than [-] steps is so close, as if it can be crossed with a single charge.

And it seems so far away.

After paying such heavy casualties, they still couldn't make the Ming army on the opposite side pay the corresponding price.

"Just rush into the enemy's trench! Hand-to-hand combat, ten fight one! No matter what!"

Ran Tianyuan gritted his teeth and thought.

This sentence.

Two or three hours ago, it was the fundamental reason why many heavenly leaders believed that the heavenly kingdom would win this war.

to now.

I'm afraid it will become the belief that everyone is still struggling to support.

Rush!
rush over.

As long as you can rush into the enemy's trenches, you win!
There are only five hundred steps in total, as long as you can hit at full speed, the time for dozens of breaths is up!
"Rush! Rush again!"

"Quick, quick! Pick up your weapon!"

"Long live the Kingdom of Heaven!"

"If we win this battle, the Central Plains will be ours!"

"The Heavenly King has a decree that all the soldiers of the Kingdom of Heaven who died in the battle, their family members will receive at least [-] acres of farmland as compensation!"

"Come on! There will be fields! There will be wealth!"

Under the instigation of officers at all levels.

The soldiers of the kingdom of heaven barely lined up in a horizontal line, and rushed towards the dragon's pool and tiger's den in front of them.

greet them.

It was an endless stream of shells and bullets.

This time.

Before he could take a few steps, he was blown away by the shells that fell from the top of his head.

clap clap.

The soldiers of the Ming army relied on the trenches, set up their guns on the sandbag wall, aimed and fired, and shot to death more than 100 steps away!

On the battlefield of World War I.

Brutal trench warfare nearly bled the whole of Europe.

And it is this kind of war mode that consumes so many human lives that forced the monarchs of European countries to abandon the mercenary system and use nationalism to call on people to serve as conscripts.

And it was the European monarchs who fooled the people at the bottom "the country belongs to the nation, and the interests of the nation are everyone's interests" in order to fight the war, thus obtaining a large number of cheap conscripts.

These low-level soldiers who believed that "the interests of the country and the nation are closely related to me" turned their heads and began to question the legitimacy of the monarchy.

So that all European countries can be completely republican or constitutional.
In short.

The change of the war mode gave birth to the change of the military service system, and the change of the military service system backfired the power of those feudal monarchs
The scene that took place on the Central Plains battlefield today almost has the embryonic form of later generations.

In order to encourage the soldiers of the kingdom of heaven to fight.

The Heavenly King Liu Zhixie has continuously increased his rewards, from fields to personal power.

Yet even so.

Uranus' promises are becoming less and less valuable.

In front of life, everything is empty.

These days, the cannon fodder of the foreign battalion also despaired after being repulsed again and again.

They looked helplessly at the old battalion soldiers who hadn't gone into battle yet.

They are better fed, warmer clothed and better armed, but they have yet to fight.

And now that the sky is getting brighter, the old camp in the rear has already started preparing breakfast.

Let's not talk about the food and treatment of the old camp and the foreign camp.

There's not even a sign of the camp making breakfast yet.
Do you want everyone to go hungry and work hard?

When Ran Tianyuan once again asked these cannon fodder from the foreign battalion to continue charging.

Someone threw away their weapons and started clamoring.

"Damn it, let's go rush, those government soldiers will sleep in the back and eat and drink!"

"The kingdom of heaven is not our kingdom of heaven, so why do we have to work hard!"

"Quit! Quit!"

For a moment, the army's heart was shaken.

"Master Hou, what should we do?"

An officer looked at Ran Tianyuan in a panic.

Excessive intimidation leads to mutiny in the army, that is a terrible event
Ran Tianyuan sighed.

"Go and report to the king, if you can't go on, remove the striker."

At this moment.

Liu Zhixie, with a livid face, was standing on the observation car, holding a telescope and staring at the battlefield ahead.

The morning sun has gradually changed from fiery red to scorching white.

The sky has completely brightened.

The night raid failed.

"Liu Zhixie can really bear it, so he won't send out his old battalion soldiers."

In the big tent of the Ming army.

Zhu Daohua couldn't help but sighed.

It was a lively fight all night last night.

But the Taiping Army sent out all cannon fodder.

The inner battalion integrated by Liu Zhixie.

Among them, [-] musketeers and [-] cavalry were not dispatched.

Although a lot of corpses were left before the battle, it did not hurt Liu Zhixie at all.

Such a result was not what Zhu Daohua wanted to see at all.

In his opinion.

The war with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom should not be a war of attrition that consumes human life.

Because what flows here is the blood of the Han nationality!

The blood of the soldiers of the Han nationality should not be shed on the battlefield of the civil war.

"Liu Zhixie won't mobilize his old battalion easily. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has always been like this in wars. Otherwise, why would they need so much cannon fodder?" Tao Biquan said with a frown.

Zhu Daohua shook his head slightly.

If he is willing, with sufficient ammunition, he can rely on the trenches in Nanguantao Town to let the blood of hundreds of thousands of Gangtian soldiers be shed here.

However, hundreds of thousands of strong men were lost in one battle.

This is not the situation Zhu Daohua wants to see.

"You don't need to guard. I don't want to entangle Liu Zhixie here. I ordered the Guards Cavalry Brigade to move out of the left flank, dispatched the rocket artillery battalion, bombarded Liu Zhixie's central army, and forced his old battalion soldiers to fight. The artillery brigade scattered the enemy's cannon fodder soldiers. The infantry brigade strikes in full swing, breaking through the enemy's infantry from the center!"

Zhu Daohua put down the binoculars and gave the order.

With the strength of his Guards Corps.

Doing defensive operations is simply a waste of time and life.

its so.

It would be better to strike directly with a thunderbolt and defeat the Heavenly Kingdom Army.

And the tactics of the Ming army are also very simple.

It is to use infantry to move forward in a horizontal line, use artillery to bombard the enemy's formation, and after gaining an advantage in the infantry battle, force the opponent to send cavalry to fight, and then it is time for the extremely elite Ming army cuirassiers to perform.

Cavalry, steps, and guns cooperate with each other.

and.

It was also the first time that a new type of equipment, the rocket launcher, was put into use on the battlefield.

A lot of rockets were seized from the hands of the British Navy after the Indian Ocean naval battle.

After seeing the structure of this Congreve rocket, Zhu Daohua remembered a small change to the rocket in later generations, making the rocket a real practical weapon.

The bearded people in the Middle East of later generations can easily manufacture a large number of cheap, powerful, and accurate self-made rockets using Laiyang steel pipes.

And this small change is to set up three jet ports, and the three jet ports present a slightly inclined angle, so that the rocket will spin when it is launched, so as to obtain a stable trajectory, thus abandoning Congreve The huge long balance bar behind the rocket, and the stability and accuracy of the rocket trajectory will be higher.

Small technical improvements based on Congreve's rocket technology are not difficult for Ming's military factory at all.

And the use of rocket boosters mixed with white sugar and black powder can also give the rocket a greater range.

Just when Liu Zhixie was planning to rectify the former army and prepare for a protracted war.

call out.
The sound of sharp rockets sounded from the Ming army's position.

The huge rocket dragged a trail of white smoke towards Liu Zhixie's central army
