There were so many people, but they couldn't hide it.

  It is almost impossible to sneak attack on the army! At most, you can only sneak attack on the logistics supply line! Because the Weihai Guards are equipped with large-scale guns and artillery, they are extremely dependent on logistics supplies. Although the large-scale equipment of guns and artillery greatly enhances firepower and defense The ability, but also has a fatal weakness, once the logistics supply is interrupted, it is easy to cause the front line to fight, and the gunpowder and shells are not enough! At that time, it is really abolished most of the combat effectiveness! Because of With such a fatal weakness, the Weihai Guards simply did not dare to fight quickly, grasping their own fighting rhythm, slowly pushing the front line forward, and crushing the enemy in a dignified manner! Qingzhou Prefecture has been fighting against Weihaiwei Although the front line of the army was caught off guard by Weihaiwei's army of [-] troops, their defense line was penetrated and completely removed.

  But after the reaction, Qingzhou Prefecture has been actively preparing for the war, and the reinforcements of the following prefectures began to frantically rush to Qingzhou Prefecture City.

  Around Qingzhou City, the two sides gradually formed a situation of confrontation with heavy troops.

  The main force of the Third Army, on the way to Qingzhou Fucheng, had to go through a siege battle almost every time they passed through an important pass terrain.

  The tenacious resistance of the Qingzhou government army made everyone in the third army a little surprised.

  "This prefect of Qingzhou is really good. The will to resist is so resolute, and the strength of the troops that block our army's advance route is almost [-] or [-].,, Well, although the combat power is still weak, the will to resist is still weak. Really admirable!"

  Qiu Sheng looked ahead. There was an emergency expansion of the pass. There were at least thousands of people in the pass, although most of them were still the way the officers led the family to supervise the battle and let the soldiers fight desperately.

  But his will to resist still surprised him.

  The staff around him was not surprised at all, and even showed an understandable expression: "Qingzhou House is the front line for confronting my heavy Weihai Guards, and the confrontation is so big that the Qingzhou Prefect and the rich and squires in Qingzhou House have long figured out. , our policy towards them

  now!"

  "In order to defend their fields and wealth, and in order to keep their family's prosperity, they will definitely resist resolutely to the end!"

  "The war between Weihaiwei and Daming is not a war between two dynasties, but a class war!"

  "We are not fighting against Daming, but against the vast majority of the squires and wealthy businessmen and officials!"

  When Qiu Sheng heard this, he immediately felt his teeth were sore, and the staff didn't mention it, he really didn't realize this problem.

  On the surface, Weihaiwei seems to take good care of businessmen, but in fact, Weihaiwei takes care of those businessmen who understand the rules and can create benefits for Weihaiwei.

  That is, the businessmen after the transformation! Almost the vast majority of these wealthy businessmen in Qingzhou Prefecture are integrated with the squire officials.

  Without cornering, it is absolutely impossible for them to surrender to Weihaiwei.

  For the class of squire officials, Weihaiwei needs to remove their roots: the foundation of their foothold! This is really killing them, so it's strange if they don't resist in the end! Generally speaking, peasant uprisings It is easy to be corrupted and change classes.

  But the people of the class of squires, wealthy businessmen and officials cannot change at all. They decide their heads purely with the interests of their ass.

  Weihaiwei clearly has no place for them, and it would be strange if they did not resist! This is a different matter from the war between Daming and Dashun.

  The rise of Dashun was not a threat to their interests in essence, so it was essentially a war between Li Zicheng's Dashun army and the Zhu family represented by Chongzhen.

  The country gentry, wealthy businessmen and officials, the most powerful force and power of the Ming Dynasty, did not erupt at all.

  But now the Weihai Guards have raised [-] troops and attacked in a big way, completely awakening the interests of Daming, and completely letting their power explode.

  The power that it burst out is beyond everyone's imagination! If they were able to burst out when they were dealing with Li Zicheng's Dashun Army, I'm afraid there would be no matter what happened to Li Zicheng's Dashun Army.

  Qiu Sheng was not stupid at all to be able to sit in such an important position as the master of an army and command an army of [-] people. As soon as the staff members reminded him, he could immediately react and know the inside story.

  He shook his head contemptuously: "What's the use of resisting desperately! I'll let them know what absolute power is!"

  "The truth is within the range of the cannon!"

  "In the whole of Shandong, the entire land of Shenzhou, who has the final say, and finally has to rely on its own strength to speak!!"

  He has been completely awakened. The development route that Weihaiwei takes, as well as the control model of confiscating all land and embezzling all interests, is a thorough and complete road of becoming an enemy of the world! Although it is said that many people at the bottom of the Ming Dynasty are supportive Weihaiwei! However, the people at the bottom of the Ming Dynasty are also the easiest to be fooled! The people of the Ming Dynasty who have not really entered the life of Weihaiwei are difficult to understand the development model of Weihaiwei, and they are also easily misled and fooled because of the words of Daming The power has always been controlled by the wealthy businessmen and officials of the country gentry.

  The people who have been fooled will eventually become cannon fodder for this class! "Fire the cannon!!"

  Qiu Sheng's face was covered with frost. Even though he knew that many of the defending soldiers on the opposite side were innocent, most of them were cannon fodder who had been fooled into the battlefield.

  However, Weihaiwei's military action of occupying Qingzhou Prefecture and occupying the whole territory of Shandong is impossible to stop!

Chapter [-] Destroys the dead, queues to be shot

  "Cannon! Cannon!!"

  Seventy-five large and small artillery pieces were lined up on the pass, and the dark cannon muzzles were aimed at this pass that was only the size of a small town.

  And this pass is also the last pass from Weixian County, Laizhou Prefecture, to Qingzhou Prefecture City. Once it is broken, the road ahead will be smooth and smooth, and the army can kill Qingzhou Prefecture in one go.

  This location is extremely important, not only for the Third Army, but also for Qingzhou Prefecture.

  It can be said that whether Qingzhou Fucheng can be defended depends on whether it can defend the east gate of Qingzhou Fucheng.

  "Boom boom boom!"

  The Weihai Guards have always been neat and tidy. With a single order, seventy-five artillery pieces fired in unison. Seventy-five large and small artillery pieces slammed into the pass, smashing countless bricks and stones, and at the same time hitting them. Many Qingzhou government defenders.

  The shrill screams rang out from the pass, incessantly.

  The small pass was actually attacked by seventy-five artillery pieces. This was an extremely terrifying nightmare for the defenders of Qingzhou Prefecture.

  "Keep it, keep it for me!"

  "No one is allowed to step back!!"

  "The prefect of Qingzhou has an order, whoever takes a step back in this battle will be killed! If anyone deserts, the whole family will be executed! At the same time, the masters of Qingzhou have all issued an announcement that whoever can kill the Weihai pirate army, You can get five taels for one piece of beheading, and fifty taels for silver!"

  "If you want to eat meat and drink, and live a good life, just kill the enemy for this official, and the gentlemen will never treat you badly!!"

  "It's all been considered by this official, whether you want the whole family to be beheaded and harm the whole family, or whether you want money!!"

  "Think about it!"

  ""

  Inside the pass, when the commander of the Qingzhou Prefecture Army saw the soldiers below, they hugged their heads and fled from the artillery bombardment. roared.

  He threatened and lured on the spot, and his words directly hit the hearts of the soldiers below, and he immediately poured cold water on the soldiers who were about to move, and became quiet.

  The effect can be said to be extremely useful! In order to protect the Qingzhou Mansion, protect the wealth of the fields, protect the life of oneself and even the whole family, and protect the prosperity and wealth of their descendants.

  The squires and wealthy businessmen and officials of Qingzhou Prefecture have been desperate! They have taken out a lot of money and materials, and used any means of coercion, inducement, and growth, for only one purpose, to defend Qingzhou Prefecture at all costs! I have to say that the power of these squires, wealthy businessmen and officials working hard to do one thing is extremely amazing! It is even stronger than Li Zicheng to pull and strengthen the cannon fodder! Because of the limited time, they have no extra energy. Going to training, it is directly to arm the local youth and Zhuang, and then send them to the battlefield.

  It doesn't matter if there is... combat power! The purpose is to use human life, a large number of human lives to defend! For them, it is not them who died anyway, and their cannon fodder is dead, they will not feel heartache! As for cannon fodder, Daming never There is a shortage of young and strong population, as long as they are willing to spend money, no matter how many young and strong cannon fodder, they can get it.

  "It's so tenacious!!"

  "It hasn't collapsed yet, it seems to see their strength!"

  When Qiu Sheng saw the Qingzhou Mansion defenders in the pass, they didn't even look like they were broken, and they continued to hold on as if they were brave and not afraid of death. Broken!!"

  "Even if it is razed to the ground, it will be at all costs!!"

  He doesn't have so much time here.

  "Cannon! Cannon!!"

  The gunners moved and continued to work on everything, preparing for the next round of artillery fire.

  "Boom boom boom!!"

  Seventy-five cannonballs smashed down again, submerging the pass.

  Many city walls collapsed on the pass, but the gunners

  They still didn't stop what they were doing, and continued to prepare for firing.

  With this bombardment, it took more than ten rounds! Thousands of shells hit the pass.

  The walls of the pass all collapsed, and the entire pass was in ruins.

  To Qiu Sheng's surprise, the defenders of the pass had not collapsed, but they were still gathering and still trying to resist.

  Immediately waved his hand: "Infantry attack!!"

  Immediately, a field guard's force began to gather, and it was transferred to attack the pass.

  A pass means that the passage is very small, and there are very few troops that can pass side by side at one time.

  The infantry attack of the Weihai Guards was still the old way.

  The sword and shield players are in the front and the spearmen are in the back, forming a front row, followed by a large number of musketeers, ready to fire salvos at all times.

  At one time, a thousand-household force was mobilized, with thousands of troops.

  Weapons and equipment, soldier quality, training level, morale will.

  The Weihai Guards all crushed the opposite side! This is not something that can be achieved by coercion and inducement! A thousand households' troops were killed, and before they entered the battlefield, the surviving defenders in the pass shivered and wanted to retreat. But he didn't dare.

  Courageous but shocked by the Weihai Guards who came from the opposite side.

  As the military formations of the two sides approached, the first to attack were the archers of the defenders of Qingzhou Prefecture, who started shooting arrows one after another.

  But the Weihai Guards did not even blink an eyelid, and kept marching in a neat formation with murderous aura.

  When one person fell, someone behind them immediately filled up, maintaining the integrity of the formation from beginning to end.

  One hundred meters, eighty meters, fifty meters, thirty meters.

  Twenty meters! "Shoot!!"

  The musketeers immediately fired in row after row.

  "Bang bang bang!"

  Wave after wave of musketeers, after firing their guns: go away, firing a wave every two or three seconds, a dozen waves in a row.

  All the Qingzhou Prefecture troops who were blocking the front were knocked down to the ground! The high density of musket bullets, coupled with the continuous and alternate firing of more than ten rows of musketeers, almost made the Qingzhou Prefecture defenders unable to resist.

  If you want to launch a charge, it will not work, because anyone who stands in front of the Weihai Guards will be beaten into a sieve and cannot defend at all.

  After more than ten waves of gunshots, the Qingzhou government army suffered thousands of casualties and suffered unprecedented heavy losses! The surviving soldiers were all beaten up! They had never felt so clearly that muskets were even more terrifying than artillery pieces. The lethality is terrifying! "They are not human, they are sent by the Lord of Hell!"

  "Brothers, we can't fight this battle. We were bombarded first, then shot with muskets. We can't even get close!!"

  "I can't fight anymore, I can't fight anymore, we're just dying!!"

  "A broken five, a wooden spear, how can you fight someone!"

  "Even if you put on armor, you can't hold the lead bullet of a musket!!"

  "Yes, yes, an officer next to me was shot through his armor by a musket, and he died in a miserable way!!"

  "Brothers, run!! Don't work for those masters, they just lied to us to die!!"

  "Those gentlemen are dead, they can't beat the other side at all!!"

  "Surrender! Surrender!!"
