196 The Battle of Zhenjiang 3
The Yangtze River in this era was very wide, and the river water was up to the bottom of Zhenjiang City, but there was a small hill on the side of Zhenjiang Yangtze River, Beigu Mountain.
Yes, it is the one who wrote the lyrics by Xin Qiji.
Controlling the Yangtze River has become the first portal of Zhenjiang.
The army chose to cross the Yangtze River in Beigu Mountain.
There is a green camp fort on Beigu Mountain, which controls the Yangtze River. And behind this Beigu Mountain is the Zhenjiang Fortress, the Iron City built by Sun Chuan during the time of the Qing Dynasty. This is the most important military camp in the Qing Dynasty.
As long as you take down Beigushan, you can directly shell the Iron City.
This place will surely become the primary place for both sides to fight.
Wang Xuejun transferred Sun Chuan, the 30,000-man team, to attack.
Is it appropriate to use the current Sun Chuan to fight the historical Sun Chuan?
There is no superstition, it is just Wang Xuejun's spoof.
As the army crossed, the fleet that arrived early opened fire again.
A dense and uninterrupted shelling was launched on the enemy's turret on Gushan.
As for the protection of Ganlu Temple where the big ears went on a blind date, I didn’t care.
The shells fell one after another, so smoke from Gushan was blowing and gravel flew everywhere. The Qing army that occupied the place could not raise its head at all.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the army disembarked and started the attack without stopping.
The Qianzong of the Qing army stationed in Gushan, of course, knew the importance of this hill.
When the enemy was climbing a mountain to attack, he did not wait for the cannon to stop, and immediately howled, waved his command knife, forcing the green camps to start blocking the defense.
The tiger master, the cannon, and the two of them were lifted, spraying out iron sand and lead seeds as dense as locusts, sweeping across the New Ming army that covered the hillside and knocking down batches of soldiers.
But the soldiers did not retreat, but continued to attack one after another.
For a moment, the sound of cannons was earth-shaking.
"Boss, let Kunlun slaves go."
Xu Jie suggested this.
It was really distressing for my brothers to see him. I was injured by some Kunlun slaves, but I just bought them again.
Although Kunlun slaves would cost the boss fifty oceans one, the pensions from the soldiers who died in battle were fifty taels.
The Kunlun slave who died in battle did not have any pensions. After doing so, he still made a profit.
The Kunlun slaves of the foreign legion were already in the first batch.
Four thousand, like black reefs, nailed to the shore. Faced with such a war scene, they were also excited and eager to try.
But Wang Xuejun shook his head: "I know what you think. But these Kunlun slaves are hard-won. They are good steel and must be used on the blade. For me, it is a huge waste to die when they did not kill the enemy for me."
The two of them talk about Kunlun slaves, not from human nature, but from the real argument of the value of life. Is black life expensive? It is mainly reflected in the value of money.
If nothing can be reflected in value, that diamond is actually not as good as a larger stone.
"The value of Kunlun slaves should be reflected in the future when they face the whistling iron hooves of Qing soldiers, and in the future street fighting. Where is the place they should appear."
As he was talking, Wang Xuejun suddenly frowned: "Why does the fleet no longer issue artillery to bombard the enemy's artillery positions on the top of the mountain?"
Xu Jie explained: "It's really not that the artillery is accurate, and the navy soldiers are afraid of accidentally hurting the attacking brother."
Wang Xuejun stomped his feet: "I'm confused. At this time, the enemy showed up, which is the best opportunity for cannons to strike them. What are you afraid of by accident? If you have eight of them, it's more cost-effective than giving up the infantry. Please order the artillery and fire until our Ming Dynasty military flag appears on the hill."
With a command, the warship cannons that stopped bombarded again.
As Wang Xuejun said, the killing and injury to the enemy is far higher than the mistaken bombing of his own people.
The suppression of firepower further reduces the enemy's counterattack.
The Stormtrooper Army was killed or injured, which was much less than the mistaken bombing.
The war is in full swing, and I will attack on my own side.
But the enemy also knows the importance of this mountain to the entire Zhenjiang city defense.
The Qing army generals who were in charge of supervising the battle did not retreat and resisted desperately.
"I really didn't expect that the firearms of Manchu, who had a stubborn mind, would be so advanced and sharp."
According to previous life experience.
After the Qing Dynasty entered the Central Plains, in order to maintain the foundation of their nation's good fighting, they abandoned the Ming Dynasty's firearms that were superior to the world in this era and resolutely promoted riding and shooting skills.
In other words, they resolutely use cold weapons to replace hot weapons.
Among them, during the reign of Emperor Kangxi, the British presented the most advanced muskets in Europe to Emperor Kangxi.
Those muskets are rear-loading guns that are truly close to descendants.
If the Qing court used these samples of rear-loading guns to fully utilize the potential of the Central Plains people to copy the potential of the Central Plains people.
Then in this world, the Qing court will once again be at the forefront of the world's military weapons and become an existence that will beat the West.
Then the later Eight-Nation Alliance entered Beijing, and the humiliation of a century of humiliation may no longer exist.
But the reason for Kangxi at that time was: "These are all strange tricks and tricks. This will completely abandon our ancestors' riding and shooting skills, which is absolutely undesirable."
So he thought he was the most wisest and sealed these weapons, so that even outsiders were not allowed to look at them.
As a result, the current situation on the battlefield seemed to subvert Wang Xuejun's recognition of the authenticity of that period of history.
Now the Qing army on the mountain uses almost all the hot weapons.
Various cannons, two soldiers carried, three-eyed guns, and the thunder that shook down the hillside. It was really a bomb, causing the soldiers who charge to be killed and injured.
Faced with the boss' doubts, Xu Jie explained: "This is not because the barbarian people of the Qing Dynasty recognized the superiority of firearms. The main reason is that the surrendered Ming army is the former Ming army that surrendered. They are even more familiar with bows and arrows, and they can't bear it directly fighting with hands and hands."
Li Yue, who assisted the navy and commanded corrections on the shore, also said: "The most important thing is that they have learned the benefits of fixed-load gunpowder in several wars with us. So even if the firearms they obtained are shoddy, the chances of bomb suicide are greatly reduced, which makes them more confident in using firearms."
Wang Xuejun scratched his head and muttered: "This is really a time-traveling success and failure. Why did I forget the Han people's ability to transcend the cosmic abilities?"
Li Yue felt a little distressed: "Just this short artillery preparation and this joint attack, no less than 2,000 shells were used. These were purchased by ten yuan per ocean. In this time, 20,000 taels were gone. This war is really a burning money."
Regarding Li Yue's feelings, Wang Xuejun thought it was necessary and gave them a war economics lesson.
"It hurts to speak while standing, so bring me a chair."
The guards immediately brought chairs.
"Get a table, lay a tablecloth, and get me some red wine."
Wang Xuejun means, like a gentleman, sitting on a chair, with a round table next to his hand, then covered with snow-white lace-sided tablecloth, and a glass of red wine.
