Griffin Commander in the Late Ming Dynasty

There is no way. As for the combat effectiveness of Nanjing soldiers, I can only say that those who understand will understand. In the entire Ming Dynasty, among the 49 guards of Nanjing, I have never heard of a single one who can fight. In the past, there was even a top event like being beaten to Nanjing by 53 Japanese pirates. It can be said that it was a disgrace. Such soldiers are indeed in line with the current competitive level of the Volunteer Army.

Zhao Zhilong began to set up camp outside the city. Although the losses in today's exploration were not small, the initial goal was achieved. He found out a lot of key information, which can be used for the next time. Tonight he will let the soldiers take turns to rest and start preparing to build siege equipment. At the same time, he will let the scouts investigate the specific situation of Yangzhou City's defense.

On Jiang Han's side, he nodded slightly as he looked at the performance of the volunteers. Although it was not particularly outstanding, it was considered to be decent and on the right track. For them who were facing a large-scale battle for the first time, it was already a very satisfactory performance.

The volunteers have already handed in their first answer sheet, so Jiang Han can no longer sit there and watch. He has to give these Ming troops a good time tonight.

Volume 238: Chapter Chapter : Operation Whole Life (Part )

As the sky gradually darkened, the volunteers, seeing that the government troops outside the city had stopped fighting, knew that there was a high probability that they would not be able to fight today, so they went out of the city to collect the bodies and repair the fortifications.

This defensive battle was not perfect, and some injuries occurred. One unlucky guy stood too forward when shooting and was hit on the foot by a feather arrow. There were also some injuries due to various situations, such as burning the hand due to holding the gun barrel incorrectly, being blinded by gunpowder stars, and so on. These fully reflected the complexity of the actual situation of war.

A large number of enemy corpses were pushed up and transported out, and the humanoids took over and buried them together. Where exactly were they buried?...

Jiang Han: Hey.

Looking at the rising numbers on the supply list, Jiang Han's mouth corners also rose, thanking the Ming army buddy for the rhythm storm, thank you buddy!

After sacrificing the body, it is natural to reciprocate. How can you not return the favor when someone gives you something? Jiang Han specially prepared his own sample. For long-distance shooting, he held the gun in a straight position. In the case of close-range fire, he only needed to slightly tilt the gun to adjust the aiming mode.

The early M4 used a round handguard. Later, after it began to adopt the modular handguard produced by KAC, the M4 embarked on the road of modularization. Everything can be modularized and anything can be installed on it.

The M4 can be mounted with a variety of tactical parts, making it look like a Christmas tree.

"Oh, I miss it so much. The last time I worked with little M4 was last time~"

AK12's tone was ups and downs, and seemed very sarcastic.

".....Have you been too close to the commander recently?"

"Ah, what's wrong? Is our little M4 jealous?"

AK12 pretended to be surprised.

"No, I mean, you're becoming more and more like him when you're having an attack."

After complaining with his eyes half closed, M4 began to plan his action plan for the night: "Everyone, bring your night vision goggles. Let's test the infrared indicator."

“No problem on my end.”

"It's no problem on my side"

"Okay, then let me repeat our mission objectives. AK12, LT, the three of us are responsible for sneaking into the enemy camp and finding out where their supplies are. Pay attention to your own positions and my instructions. There will be drones in the sky to help us collect intelligence. Mosin-Nagant"

"Please speak comrade"

Mosin-Nagant was also very excited at the moment. This was her first large-scale combat mission since she arrived here.

"Your mission is critical. I need you to find the commanding heights as soon as possible after the operation begins. We will most likely encounter many sentries when we sneak in. I will mark them out with infrared indicators. I need you to deal with them from a distance and create as much chaos as possible afterwards."

"получить"

Nodding, M4 continued: "When the gunshots are heard, chaos will inevitably break out in the enemy's barracks. We must make a quick decision then."

"Okay, it's almost time, everyone get ready to go!"

9:00 pm, Ming army camp.

After a day of marching, and the siege during the day which was obviously not smooth, the Ming army soldiers were very tired. Their health was not very good to begin with, and their legs were shaking after all the hard work of setting up camp and going through so much trouble. They finally got the order to rest. Many of them fell asleep after eating a few bites of dry food, and soon they started snoring, which showed that they were really exhausted.

Of course, not everyone was asleep. Zhao Zhilong still had some common sense and asked his soldiers to stand guard separately. There were people keeping an eye on the situation in the first and second half of the night. You must be kidding. The enemy is right across the street and you are snoring here. I'm afraid you are like a dog going to the toilet and wanting to shit.

The soldier on night duty also wanted to sleep, but military orders were as heavy as a mountain. It was his turn, so he had no choice but to force himself to continue standing guard.

Standing guard is actually a very hard job. It is pitch black in the wild at night, and you have to be extremely alert and pay attention to any strange noises around you. The wild is quite lively nowadays, and it is almost midsummer. Many animals go out to work at night. It is not an easy job to distinguish what is wrong among these noises.

Of course, these soldiers naturally do not have such high requirements. After all, with the excellent matching mechanism in East Asia today, Ming Dynasty will not encounter the kind of troops that can sneak up on people's faces silently in the middle of the night. After noticing the movement, they just need to shout.

But these soldiers didn't have such a high sense of mission that they couldn't stay there all night without moving. Their superiors didn't say they couldn't chat, right? A few soldiers gathered in groups of three or four to chat, which was a way to kill the long night.

"Hey... what kind of weird fortress did this group of rebels build? It looks quite intimidating. I saw the vanguard battalion attacked for a long time but failed to get through."

"You ask me, Baiyin? You don't know him, but do you think I do? Let Master Shangguan worry about it. When the time comes, we will just be responsible for attacking the city. I think the top of the fortress is not high. If we make up our minds, it won't be difficult to attack it."

Glancing at his companions, a soldier said unhappily.

"Hey, you say, this group of rebels can afford to support the musket team. Is Yangzhou City very rich? They can rob a lot of silver this time, right?"

"Yes, I heard that the women in Yangzhou are also very beautiful. The skinny women in Yangzhou, wow, that's really...even gods wouldn't change them."

A group of peasants gathered together, and their conversation soon turned to money and women. A group of soldiers gathered together to look forward to the future, full of longing for what to do after taking Yangzhou.

"Hey, second brother, are there any purple stars in the sky?"

A soldier looked at the sky and suddenly asked his comrade next to him.

"How can stars be purple? Holy shit, there really are some?"

In the sky, a purple light is hidden among the stars, but its color is so unique that it stands out among the stars.

"I heard the old people talking about Ziwei Star, Ziwei Star, could that be Ziwei Star?"

"Don't tell me, it's possible."

"Second brother, you don't know either?"

"Oh, none of us has ever seen the Purple Star, so who knows what it looks like?"

"really"

A few people were chatting idly like this, and the purple star in the sky was still hanging there. Soon the topic shifted to other things, and no one cared so much about the existence of the star.

"We found it. There is a place in the southeast corner of the camp. It is well defended and has a large number of carriages and horses stored. The tents in this area are obviously not residential. We can start exploring from there.

Receiving the image information transmitted from the small plane, M4 basically confirmed the storage location of food and grass in the Ming army camp.

"From now on, all communication will be switched to the communication channel. No more verbal communication. Put on your night vision goggles and start the action."

A group of people, holding guns in their hands, slowly moved towards the Ming army camp in the night.

"stop"

M4 raised his left hand and clenched his fist to indicate a stop. "There is a sentry post fifty meters ahead of us. Mosin-Nagant, are you in position?"

"Mosin-Nagant is in place"

On a low hillside, Mosin-Nagant had already set up her gun. In order to prevent being exposed, she even covered the sight lens with a piece of cloth. The moon was very bright tonight, and the refraction of light on the sight lens would be very obvious at night.

"I'll use the laser pointer to point out the location, and then I'll leave it to you."

"No problem sir"

When turning on the night vision goggles, the laser marking of the infrared indicator is very conspicuous. The light of this thing can only be seen with night vision goggles, highlighting an asymmetric warfare.

"Happily on the road~"

A crisp gunshot pierced the night sky, and the sentry in front of M4 and others felt his head numb and lost consciousness on the spot.

With a pull of the bolt, a shell was ejected, and the ammunition was fed again easily. Mosin-Nagant began to look for its next target.

The Mosin-Nagant rifle has a very crisp sound, and the feeding and firing are crisp and neat. The smooth feel like splashing water is also called water drops.

That's right, the Mosin-Nagant is a repeating rifle.

"go ahead!"

The moment the sentry fell to the ground, several members of M4 rushed through the security area as fast as swift black shadows. At this moment, the Ming army just reacted from the sudden change.

"What's wrong? What's wrong??"

"There's gunfire! Far away!"

"Someone attacked the camp?"

"Can you find which direction it came from?"

The huge camp was in chaos in an instant. The soldiers on guard kept running between the tents, waking up their colleagues who were still sleeping soundly: "Someone is attacking the camp!!"

Mosin-Nagant's mission was to create chaos, attract attention, and create conditions for M4 and others to infiltrate. Therefore, for her second target, she chose an unlucky guy who was in the crowd and looked to have a good identity.

The second gunshot rang out again, and the unlucky guy in the crowd had a big hole in his head on the spot. He slowly fell to the ground with a thud.

Now, the Ming army was absolutely certain that someone had attacked the camp.

"Gather quickly! Enemy attack!!!"

Volume 239: Chapter Chapter : Operation Whole Life (Part )

Like a catfish falling into a fish pond, the Ming army camp was obviously getting better.

Compared to the dead and snoring atmosphere just now, the Ming army camp is now crowded with people and brightly lit with fire, and the mood of the Ming army soldiers has obviously changed.

With the collision of armor leaves, hurried footsteps and shouting, the camp became visibly chaotic. Some people were gathering, some were notifying, some were hurriedly preparing to meet the enemy, and some were still snoring.

In such muddy water, the M4 team moved quickly through the Ming army camp like a school of fish.

"What's going on? Someone is attacking the camp!?"

Zhao Zhilong had just taken a nap in the tent, just for a while! With sleepy eyes, he asked the adjutant beside him about the situation.

"General, someone is shooting at the barracks nearby. So far, several shots have been fired. Several soldiers and a lieutenant have died at the hands of the enemy."

"Do you know where the cold gun came from?"

Zhao Zhilong frowned. Good man, this guy is really a dog. It's late at night, and I haven't caused you any trouble, but you start to make fun of me.

Damn it, you want to play dirty with me, right?

"Someone below said that the sound should be coming from the hillside in the northwest. I have sent people to check. The enemy should not have many people. After I sent people out, the enemy's shooting frequency dropped significantly."

"It seems that this is the enemy's strategy of confusing the enemy..."

Zhao Zhilong thought about it for a while and figured it out. This person must be the one who didn't sleep well and came to harass us! Don't worry about it!

"Tell the scouts to quickly eliminate the invading enemy, and notify the other camps to leave them alone for now and continue to rest!"

There was only one person. Just send someone to kill him. Zhao Zhilong soon stopped worrying about it. This was a very normal way of thinking during combat. However, he still wanted to laugh.

"Hahahahaha..."

"Why are you laughing, sir?"

"I laugh at that Jiang thief's lack of strategy and his lack of wisdom. He only sent one person to harass our army. What can he do to us? If he sent a team of troops to burn the granary and attack the camp, we would definitely be in chaos. It's a pity that the other side doesn't have that ability. Hahahaha..."

"The general is indeed wise! It seems that the rebel has run out of tricks and has no chance of survival!"

The adjutant flattered Zhao Zhilong, which made him very comfortable.

"This is all the rebels can do. Let all the camps put out their torches and rely on the moonlight. They will not be able to aim. I will rest first. When the time comes, call me."

"Yes, General"

In the forest hundreds of meters away, Mosin-Nagant was having a lot of fun. He said he wanted to find the enemy soldiers who were shooting from behind in the forest, but there were no good lighting equipment in those days, so they had to grope their way up the mountain with torches in hand. Going up the mountain with torches in the middle of the night, you can see how lively it was.

The night vision goggles themselves can display a very bright picture at night with the help of extremely weak light sources. Although it is green, the pitch black looks like daytime in the eyes of the night vision goggles. If there is a light source, it would be like being struck by a flash. Several torches were held up and approaching towards you, and in the view of the night vision goggles, it was like a high-beam dog, so dazzling!

Mosin-Nagant didn't say a word, just raised his gun and shot! It's not a pity that the high beam dog died!

Crisp gunshots rang out, and a scout fell down, his torch falling to the ground. The people around were startled and began to rush frantically towards the nearby trees, looking for cover.

In fact, a big tree cannot block bullets at all. Maybe a thick enough tree can be okay, but the kind that can barely hide a person is not worth it. The main purpose is to provide psychological comfort.

However, Mosin-Nagant did not intend to continue sniping at this moment, because she found that even if she killed the high-beam dog, the torch would not go out, and she had to do it herself.

"Ах, беда"

After equipping his Mosin-Nagant with one of the few accessories - a bayonet, the Mosin-Nagant flashed into the jungle like a white ghost.

To the Ming army scouts, everything that happened next was like a ghost story. Their comrades disappeared one after another. When they found someone, they were hanging on a tree branch with their torches. The torches around them kept disappearing, and the sense of security brought by the light was gradually fading away.

Fear is constantly growing.

Many times, what makes people feel cold under their feet are those things that have not appeared yet, cannot be seen, and cannot be communicated. Once they have a concrete image, the person's XP will begin to take effect.

Things that cannot communicate, have not appeared, and can take away the names of people around them can awaken the fear in people's bones. Two scouts had their pants half wet, with water dripping down. What was going on? Was there a ghost in this mountain?

"Brother, why don't we retreat? I see that the enemy army has stopped making any movement. Let's go back now and say that we have solved the problem. If there is a noise again, we can say that it was done by someone else."

Some scouts began to retreat.

"Oh, yes, yes, yes, my dear brother, I like it very much. Let's do it!"

The scouts in the mountains were preparing to retreat, while in the Ming army camp, groups of three or four began to put out the fire. They all knew that the enemy had muskets, so for the sake of their own lives, it was better to put out the fire.
