A small soldier of the frontier army in the late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 480
The poisonous and ashes bombs from the Shenji Battalion roared and fired continuously, and poisonous smoke and lime filled the first line of defense of the Qing army, causing waves of panic to the guarding Qing soldiers.
Inhalation of poisonous smoke, bleeding from mouth and nose, caused serious damage to the body, and there were many sequelae.It is even more unlucky to encounter gray bullets. If you are caught off guard, you may even lose your eyesight.
In particular, the ash bombs of Shenjiying contain various poisons, and the smoke produced after the explosion is accidentally inhaled into the lungs, causing damage no less than that of poisonous smoke bombs.
Shenji Battalion also launched the Shocking Thunder, which is Ten Thousand Enemies, the Great Ming Dynasty version of the hand grenade, which exploded, and countless barbed thorns and gravel flew from it, all of them were bloody and bloody.In this hot weather, and the contents contained toxins, a small wound may kill everyone.
The mortars of the Shenji Camp continued to fire, and the Qing army on the first line of defense in Huangtuling was in chaos.Everyone ran around with their eyes closed, or wrapped their heads and faces tightly with various cloth belts. Many people's eyes only showed a small gap.
As long as there are shells coming, everyone screams and stays far away. It is useless even if the officers shout, especially if they run away themselves, how can we defend like this?
What's terrible is that the Ming army's Hongyi cannons started to fire again, and huge solid iron balls kept flying towards them, smashing hard at various places on the wall of the village.
Poison bombs, gray bombs, sky-shocking thunder, and solid shells were launched in series. For a while, the Qing army on the first line of defense in Huangtuling, especially in the Niangniang Temple tower area, was in danger of collapsing!
Not to mention Huang Taiji and others in Rufeng Mountain City were anxious, even Dorgon, Duoduo, Jin Zidian, Shi Tingzhu, etc. on the terrace of Huangtuling East Ridge were also watching with tearful eyes.
Shi Tingzhu yelled at Kong Youde: "King Shun, your cannon battalion hasn't fired, and you're just watching Minggou cannons show off their prestige?"
Like Shi Tingzhu, the Han army Xianghong Banner Gushan Ezhen Liu Zhiyuan, Zhenglan Banner Gushan Ezhen Zu Zerun, and Xiangbai Banner Gushan Ezhen Wu Shoujin were also extremely dissatisfied with Kong Youde.Whether they know to fire or not depends on Dorgon's intentions, but how dare they yell at Dorgon?All the anger was just vented on Kong Youde's head.
Although Jin Zidian was in a hurry, he didn't speak, and just watched Shi Tingzhu yell at Kong Youde with cold eyes.
Kong Youde also gritted his teeth, hating the Ming army's cannons, because the first line of defense in Huangtuling also had his gunners from Wuzhenhachao Battalion.
However, Shi Tingzhu yelled at himself, Kong Youde couldn't bear it, he said coldly: "Shi Tingzhu, Prince Rui said earlier that the Ming army is not allowed to fire within three miles, have you forgotten?"
Seeing that Kong Youde would not enter, he only shied away at Dorgon's head. Although Shi Tingzhu was angry, he had no choice but to say to Dorgon: "Jun Rui, you should order the cannon to be fired. Regardless of whether it hits or not, hit Minggou." The arrogance is also good. It is not advisable to keep quiet about the war, and watch them fire, how much damage will it do to morale?"
Even Duo Duo felt that it was time to fire, and was about to persuade them, but Dorgon gave the two of them a cold look, and said solemnly: "It's not time for the artillery camp to fire! The eight banners Manchuria is going to the front line with the white banner Thong Zhangjing." Supervise the battle. Anyone who dares to disobey the military order and retreat in panic, regardless of the armor and miscellaneous service, regardless of the Eight Banners Manchurian Han, Korean generals, all beheaded on the spot!"
He watched the people's expressions change, and said with a sneer, "Even if the Ming army breaks through the first line of defense, we still have more. Even if they occupy it, are they sure to be able to defend it?"
He said coldly to Kong Youde: "King Shun, Wuzhenhachao Artillery Battalion listens to my order, and when the Ming army begins to attack the mountain, and the distance is within three miles, then give the order to fire!"
……
Under the pressure of the Eight Banners Manchurian Zhengbai Banner Baya La soldiers, the Qing army on the first line of defense in Huangtuling calmed down a little.Numerous handymen brought wet cloths to cover the faces of the armored soldiers on the front line, but this could only reduce the damage caused by the poisonous bullets and gray bullets of the Ming army, and could not completely resist them.
Moreover, many people who have inhaled poisonous smoke before will leave lifelong sequelae, pain and injury unless they take antidote immediately.
But only the Ming army has the antidote, how can they have it?Even in the Ming army, not everyone has the antidote. Perhaps the Jingbian army has more antidote to poisonous smoke bombs.
The poisonous and ash bullets fired by the mortars of Shenjiying had obvious effects. After successive waves of attacks, even the previous Hongyi Cannon's solid shells were eliminated.In the area of ​​the Niangniang Temple and the towers alone, the Qing army did not distinguish between the Manchu and Han dynasties, and the casualties of the armored soldiers were as high as hundreds.
Although except for the Hongyi cannons, the rest were attacked by poisonous and ash bombs, and few people died on the spot, but these injured people will cause a huge logistical burden to most of the Qing army.
Moreover, among the senior officers, Jing Ning Erjia, Niu Luzhang Jingning Erjia of Manchuria Xiangbai Banner, was seriously injured and lost his left arm.A Han soldier in Zhengbaiqi Niuluzhangjing inhaled an excessive amount of poisonous smoke and died of convulsions all over his body. His expression was distorted when he died, obviously suffering from great pain.
Several lieutenants and lieutenants of the North Korean army either lost their hands or feet, or were attacked by poisonous and gray bullets, and could not move at all.
Not counting the minor injuries, the [-] sergeants of the Qing Dynasty guarding the Niangniangmiao tower area almost lost their combat effectiveness. It was Dorgon who urgently added another [-] troops to them.
Seeing the tragic situation of the defenders at the foot of the mountain, the rest of the Qing army in the mountains could not help but feel terrified, and were very disturbed by the artillery fire of the Ming army.It was like this at the beginning of the war. It is conceivable that there will be many tragedies in the future. This kind of poisonous bomb attack also made them afraid.
"Lord, please forgive these sins, cleanse the evil souls of these pagans, and guide them to the way to heaven!"
Near the Dongling tower, a huge artillery position of the Qing army was set up here. Dozens of heavy cannons were pointing at the large formation of the Ming army at the foot of the mountain.
Here, [-] of the [-] Shenwei General Cannons in the territory of the Qing Dynasty are deployed here, and they can fire cannons weighing ten catties or more.There are also ten cannons from the Tiancong year, which were placed in the middle of Huangtuling. Those cannons weighed five thousand catties, but they only fired eight catties, and they were used together with some Hongyi cannons that fired five catties.
At this time, the person praying was a Hongyi who was nearly forty years old, but his name was Eduardo Philip de Menezes Lopez.Eduardo means the protector of wealth. Because the name is too long, no matter where it goes to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it is called Shorter.
Eduardo was Portuguese, but at that time no matter who was in the West, they were all called Francois.
Eduardo used to be a lieutenant officer in Macau. Back then, he accompanied Sirao, who was in command of Gongsha, Lu Weilue, the deputy commander, and officers such as Codello and Rodriguez. Four hundred soldiers served as mercenaries for the Ming court.
After the Kong Youde Rebellion, many people died in battle, but the Ming court treated them well. Xilao, the commander of Gongsha, was awarded as a general, Lu Weilue, the deputy commander, was given as a guerrilla, Fulang Yalanda, a gun master, was given as a garrison, and his companion Fang Si Gu, E Honglue, etc. each donated the general post, and the rest also received silver taels.
Eduardo was captured, and along with several Portuguese soldiers, Kong Youde took him to Houjin at that time.
Eduardo had been terrified, afraid that the Tartars had eaten him.
Unexpectedly, the leader of the Tatars attached great importance to him. After asking about his official position, he was named Niulu Zhangjing, who specialized in training gunners.Afterwards, Gaode was promoted all the way, and now he is the first-class Lazhangjing in the Qing Dynasty.
However, due to the desire of Huang Taiji and Shiyi to come to court, Eduardo still wears the Portuguese military uniform.
This time, Dwarf went out to fight with the army.
Looking at the battle at the bottom of the mountain, Eduardo couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat. He muttered to himself, kept crossing his chest, and continued to pray devoutly: "Lord, I want to be your lamb, please do what I want. Righteousness, according to the integrity of my hands, accept me, reward me, and search me. Guide me to have God’s heart in my heart, God’s things in mind, seek for your kingdom and your righteousness, and make us Every prayer can be accepted by you and reach you like incense, Amen!"
Finally, Shorter breathed a sigh of relief, feeling much more stable in his heart. He looked at the Qing army beside him with a kind expression, only a trace of disgust flashed in the depths of his eyes: "Hmph, these barbaric Tatars, evil aliens Christians!"
The ancestor was a poor nobleman, and Dwarf had also studied, and he was a devout believer.After arriving in the Qing Dynasty, he also took the opportunity to develop a few believers, but after many years, none of them were developed.Those who were reluctantly interested also worshiped more than a dozen gods in a row, which made Shorter quite annoyed.
Afterwards, Xiaode analyzed that it was because they could not give up worshiping their ancestors, but if they wanted to respect the Lord, they could not respect their ancestors.In the land of the East, forgetting one's ancestors is a very serious crime, whether it is a barbarian or a civilized person.
Originally, people in the East did not care about worshiping gods. Some people worshiped hundreds of gods in their lifetime, but they only disrespected their ancestors. This is unacceptable to anyone.
Moreover, at this time, both the Ming and Qing Dynasties appreciated the technology of the Hongmaoyi, but they did not take their civilization seriously.This is also the reason why Ao De has struggled for many years and has not developed a single believer in the Qing Dynasty.
So Dwarf was frustrated and annoyed, full of dislike for the Tatars around him, but he concealed it very well.
He cast his eyes on the Ming army, and the same disgust flashed in his eyes: "Hmph, those Ming people are not good people, they are all heretics, and their souls should be washed with holy fire!"
but……
He looked at the cannons beside him. These heavy cannons were all mounted on four-wheel millstone gun mounts.This kind of gun mount is quite flexible in height, left, and right adjustments, which solves the difficult problem of field combat.Only the hard shaft needs to be replaced frequently.
Caution flashed in Dwarf's eyes: "Even the savage Tatars have wisdom, unlike those savages in Latin America, it is difficult to conquer the land of the East!"
At this time, Spain and Portugal were counted as the same country, a common confederation, called the Spanish-Portuguese Empire, and the Portuguese were equally proud of the great achievements the Spaniards had made in the world.
In this land of China, it is not that they have no ideas, but they have no ability.The Portuguese had repeatedly provoked wars in Fujian and Guangdong, but they were defeated by the local defenders and navy, so they had to adopt the common method used by Europeans at that time.Maintain respect and friendliness to countries with a high level of civilization, and to those with a low level of civilization, just look at the encounters between blacks and Indians.
But by the time of the Qing Dynasty, when China was in decline, no matter the European army or missionaries at that time, they all showed their true colors, and there was no more kindness to the Ming Dynasty.
Of course, in general, Ming people feel that these Westerners are still good. In fact, the Europeans have not changed. It is because they are good that they are good to you.
At this time, Dwarf certainly couldn't think of the treatment of Europeans on this land in history hundreds of years later, and he only prayed in his heart: "O Almighty Lord, I hope that one day, there will be no more yellow-skinned monkeys in this land in the east. And no more heretics!"
In the European books at this time, during the Tang, Song and Ming dynasties, the Han people in the East were regarded as Caucasian people, and only Shorter knew that they were actually yellow people.
