Griffin Commander in the Late Ming Dynasty

As an army with considerable combat effectiveness, the Qing army's military discipline was undoubtedly much better than that of the Ming army, because those who violated military discipline would actually be dragged out and beheaded.

It was said to be an hour-long attack, and it was indeed an hour-long attack. During this period, many soldiers gathered and reorganized into the army. Exactly one hour later, Dorgon launched the second attack.

Taking into account that the enemy had new-type muskets, Dorgon deliberately arranged archers at the forefront of the army. The range of a musket was about fifty steps, and the range of a bow and arrow was above that. No matter what new-type musket the enemy had, as long as they were shot and killed outside the range of the enemy, they would not pose a threat.

However, Dorgon was not a blindly confident person. To be on the safe side, he specially prepared a group of shield soldiers to stand in front. In their hands were wooden shields made from door panels of each household in the city, and small round shields made from iron pots of each household. The front was covered with yellow mud, and after it was dried, it had a very good protective effect against musket bullets.

After facing the technological attack from the Ming soldiers, the Qing army used their clever little brains to modify a lot of these youthful equipment. There are quite practical ones, as well as quite idealistic equipment like the boy's urine scarf. It is said that when you put it on, bullets will fly around you. Anyway, everyone who survived said that this thing works.

Because the camp outside the city was attacked, a large number of horses were killed or maimed, and some were lost, which made it difficult to form the cavalry. Fortunately, the artillery did not suffer too much loss and they were well protected in the central army.

These cannons are all precious treasures. Before each firing, cattle and sheep must be slaughtered as sacrifices. Not to mention their status in the army, which is much more noble than that of humans and horses. Even if all your people are dead, the cannons cannot be damaged.

Therefore, when entering the city, the artillery units were in the middle of the army, and under heavy protection they did not suffer much loss. This reorganization allowed the artillery team to participate in the battle with a fairly complete organization.

On the main road of Eight Lanes, a row of six cannons were lined up in full formation. As the army slowly advanced, the people of Jinan City finally faced their doomsday.

The Qing army did not allow a single living person to walk in front of the army formation wherever they looked. If the distance was far, they would shoot him to death with bows and arrows. If the distance was close, they would just chop him with knives or stab him with spears. The courtyard walls were pushed down and every hut was searched thoroughly. The Qing army advanced slowly and steadily like a heavy bulldozer.

While advancing from the front, the flanking attack must also keep up. The left and right routes cooperate with the central army to make a detour and move closer, like a big net spread out in the city of Jinan, slowly strangling the people inside bit by bit.

The war situation is going quite smoothly at the moment, but Dorgon's face is still as stagnant as before.

"Master, are you worried about the battle situation? Don't worry, we were caught off guard before and were ambushed. This time our army is fully prepared and will surely destroy the enemy."

The servant standing by saw that his master looked unhappy, so he stepped forward and started saying nice things.

“No, I was thinking about something else.”

"Then what is troubling the master...?"

"I was thinking, since the Ming army had such firearms, why didn't they use them when defending the city? I have never seen such a situation in previous battles. The opponent's tactics and all the strange weapons are unprecedented. Otherwise, I would not have suffered such a big loss for nothing..."

Dorgon frowned and analyzed slowly.

"Master, what do you mean...?"

"I'm afraid that in Jinan, besides me and the Ming army, there is a third chess player playing chess here."

"This... Master, you are worrying too much. We have seen a lot of new firearms all the way here. There are also many big cities in Northern Zhili Prefecture that have some new things that we have never seen before. This third force is indeed strong in force, but according to the nature of this Ming dog, I am afraid that it will be difficult for them to enter Jinan City...?"

"What you said makes sense."

Dorgon nodded, and the servant was delighted, as this spoke to the master's heart.

"But, as a servant, refuting your master's words and questioning your master is disloyalty. Take him out and chop him off!"

"Ah? Master, Master! Master, I am innocent. I just saw that you were unhappy and wanted to please you. I am innocent. Master, please see clearly, please see clearly..."

The servant was dragged out wailing. After a click, everything became quiet. The only one left in the army was Dorgon, who looked unhappy.

“Report——!”

A soldier rushed to Dorgon.

"speak!"

"We found a lot of strange obstacles in front of the army. They were made of iron wire and the horses couldn't pass through. Many horses were entangled in them and couldn't move. The obstacles were also very resistant to being hacked and cut, so they were difficult to remove."

"Hmm? Let's send those Ming people to demolish it! Do you see any enemy?"

"I did see some soldiers on the road, and there were also faint shadows of people walking on the broken walls."

"Very good, someone come!"

Dorgon shouted loudly towards the army.

"General!"

The two generals knelt down in response.

"Notify the artillery camp, deploy the formation, and bombard the enemy as hard as possible. I want to make these bastards feel the feeling of being blasted into pulp by artillery fire!"

There is no doubt that this was Dorgon, who was narrow-minded, taking personal revenge. But the soldiers below did not dare to say anything. Secondly, they wanted to do the same themselves. I was in a state of panic all night. I couldn't sleep for three days and had to get out of bed at three in the morning. That bastard bombarded me with cannons all night. It must have been fired!

Upon receiving the order, the Qing army camp waved flags, the front army formation immediately dispersed, and rows of artillery were clearly revealed.

"Sacrifice the cannon!"

A row of civilians were pulled in front of the cannon and forced to kneel on their knees from behind. The executioner spitted and chopped down the cannon with a click, blood splattered on the black cannon.

"The artillery is finished, fire!"

"Boom!"

A violent explosion suddenly occurred between the cannons.

"Parameters are correct, keep firing!"

On the broken wall, a little girl held up an observation device in her hand and said calmly. The little girl in charge of firing in the middle was facing the Qing army formation and raised a thumbs up.

Immediately afterwards, a series of explosions roared, starting their carnival at the artillery camp position.

Volume 158: Chapter Chapter : Meat Grinder

The AGS-30 grenade launcher has a magazine capacity of 30 rounds and can fire 180 rounds continuously, but after that the barrel will need to be replaced due to overheating. But it doesn’t matter, the replacement operation is quite simple, and even Uncle Hei can understand it immediately.

The replaced barrel can be cooled naturally, or it can be forced to be water-cooled by pouring water on it. As a piece of equipment for the bear, its main feature is its endurance. If you are in a hurry to cool it down, just throw it in the snow and roll it a few times, it will have the same effect.

What does a 10-meter explosion range mean? Because of the special position of the ancient army formation, the original iron ball cannon was used to hit a large string of iron balls as they rolled, so there is a saying that one shot can destroy dozens of meters. In fact, the force of the iron ball falling to the ground and rolling for five or six meters is constantly weakened by the ground and the human body, and is completely eliminated. It's just that the visual shock of a long string of iron balls is quite amazing, and the mental deterrent effect is actually stronger.

The built-in 30mm grenade in the grenade launcher can cause effective explosive damage within a range of 10 meters. Even at a distance of 10 meters, it still has considerable lethality. If this thing explodes in a crowd of people, it can cause real devastation for dozens of meters!

Not to mention people, even the cannons couldn't bear it. The Qing army's artillery battalion collapsed in an instant under such a bombardment. The operator's butt was blown into the sky, and the ignited gun barrel was blown up from the ground. The recoil of the artillery shell shot out in an unknown direction, and the fired artillery once again flew into the army formation, causing further chaos.

At the same time, the bracket was slowly set up, and the machine gun in MG4's hand behind two alloy shields spit out flames!

As a machine gun, the MG4's lethality is actually slightly insufficient. The caliber of 5.56 prevents it from killing one target with one shot like other machine guns, but it has a very good advantage: sustainability.

During the test, the MG4 delivered an excellent performance by firing 7000 rounds of bullets continuously. Such stability and continuity also earned it the official equipment of the German army.

And this extremely stable continuity was a complete disaster when it was unleashed on the Qing army, which only had simple protective gear and had just been blinded by grenades dropped from the sky and had no time to organize a defense.

This time was different from the previous night. There was chaos everywhere. Military officers were suddenly attacked and assassinated, resulting in a breakdown in command. Soldiers throughout the city became headless ants, and even the supervision team was at a loss.

This time it was under the scorching sun, and the supervision team was seeing everything clearly from behind. The order had come down from above, so we had to charge forward. How could we retreat?

Going forward means death, and going backward also means death. I might as well grit my teeth and take a gamble. The opponent's gun is fast seven steps away, but what if my sword is faster within seven steps?

Many of them wanted to charge forward, but the layers of barbed wire in front of them were like ghost hands reaching out from the gates of hell, freezing their bodies in place.

This thing originated from World War I and was quite useful during the trench warfare period. Both sides of the war would deploy a large number of barbed wire on the battlefield. Due to structural reasons, it could not be hit by knives or axes. The wire ribs tied with scraps next to it did not look sharp, but only when you touch it, you will know how difficult this thing is.

In the early years when cavalry was becoming popular, the emergence of barbed wire taught cavalrymen from all countries a good lesson. Countless men who lassoed horses lost their horses and their lives.

The sharp wire easily caught on the clothes and even the flesh of the Qing soldiers. The more they struggled, the tighter they were entangled by the wire, and they could not move. They had to watch helplessly as the bullets took their lives.

The 30 grenades in a magazine were quickly used up. Before the Qing soldiers could catch their breath, the three little guys loaded new magazines at the speed of a Ferrari team changing tires.

Tongues of fire burst out of the monster's mouth again, and the battlefield turned into a complete meat grinder.

The dense formation formed for sweeping and fighting the enemy now became their death warrant. Shells fell like raindrops and exploded in the crowd. The front army was almost unprepared and its men were reduced by one-tenth in an instant.

Were the Qing troops brave? They were very brave. When faced with such bombing, their first reaction was to charge forward. However, what happened in reality was like a meat grinder that ground the remaining blood in their chests.

In particular, when an unlucky guy accidentally stepped on an anti-personnel mine, the little thing flew high and exploded in the crowd, turning everything around into a scarlet mist. This bravery turned into fear.

Although all of them are 5.56, the propellant in machine gun bullets is undoubtedly more powerful. Even with a small bullet, with the powerful propellant, one shot can destroy half of a leg, and one bullet can create a big blood pit.

It’s not that they are not brave, it’s just that dying in this way is as simple as eating and drinking. People cannot see how the enemy dies at all, and all it brings to them is endless fear.

What is this? What is this?

If the enemy's bows and arrows are accurate, we will use more accurate skills to fight back. If the enemy is brave in martial arts, we will kill him with despicable means. If the enemy's artillery is fierce, we will add a few more artillery pieces and fire at the same time. But, what does this mean?

The artillery was blown into a pile of scrap metal before it could even fire. The warriors around it melted quickly like snow meeting the sun. They were terrified that they would be the next ones, terrified that there was no room to breathe.

Whether it is artillery fire or bows and arrows, after a round of volleys, there will often be some time to pull the bowstring again, load the bullets and ignite them. This kind of gap allows people to adjust, breathe, and find a charge route. No matter how severe the battle, veterans will quickly find the rhythm and begin to adapt.

But this time it was completely different. The continuous attacks seemed to have no end. Why didn't the enemy's artillery fire need to be reloaded? Why could the enemy's muskets keep firing?

It was incomprehensible, beyond their expectations. They kept holding on to hope in their hearts, thinking, it must be over, it must be over, they should be able to breathe a sigh of relief, right?

The answer is no. The incessant roar, the wave-like bombing and the rain of steel never stopped. The panic that he was about to follow in the footsteps of his comrades around him kept accumulating and accumulating, and then came to an abrupt stop and began to spread on the corpses.

"Magic, there is magic!!! Retreat quickly!!"

As the first cry of boundless panic rang out on the battlefield, the front line of the Qing army officially began to collapse.

The soldiers in the front began to retreat, but right behind them was the main army formation. In order to escape, these deserters didn't care about anything and waved their long swords at everything that blocked their way. "Run faster, no need to be too fast, just faster than the people around you. Don't stop me, don't let me die next time!!!"

The development of the battle situation far exceeded Dorgon's expectations. The front army was defeated too quickly, and his own central army artillery battalion was almost completely useless before it was completely bombed into a pile of scrap metal by the enemy's continuous artillery fire. The retreating soldiers in the front collided with the central army formation, breaking up the originally complete formation. As panic spread, many soldiers even began to run backwards with these defeated soldiers.

"Hold the formation steady, and kill those who rush in! Supervisory team! Kill all these deserters!"

He was furious and issued orders to limit his losses as much as possible. He didn't know what was going on or why it turned out like this. Everything before him was beyond his understanding. Why did he lose so quickly?

He didn't have much time to think, because the explosion began to spread towards the center of the army.

"Projectile angle, lift up three times, and change the barrels in turn after shooting two rounds"

"Roger that!"

Delaying time? If I kill you all, won't I have more time?

Volume 159: Chapter Chapter : The End of the Battle

"Hey, it looks like you're in trouble."

Hearing the continuous explosions coming from behind, 45 turned around and said, "Speed ​​up, we have to get out of here as soon as possible!"

The dolls did rescue quite a few people this time, but the number was limited. After all, it was quite difficult for just a few people to gather a group of people in such a short time.

"Hurry up, hurry up, there's a fire at the back!"

This news spread by word of mouth and reached the ears of every person who escaped death, and these lucky people all sped up their actions.

They did not want to die. They did not know how long their benefactor could hold back the ferocious Tatars. They just wanted to run faster and faster.

"Adjust your breathing, don't run too fast, and maintain your strength. We still have a long way to go, so don't rush."

AK12 was at the front of the team, adjusting the movement rhythm of the entire team. She was currently teaching those running in the front, telling them how to control their physical strength.

Although she is a human figure, she has basic knowledge of movement in her knowledge base. Years of experience and knowledge of interacting with humans in physics have made her familiar with the structure of the human body.

"Okay...okay..."

The girls behind him were panting. These brothel girls had never done heavy work since they were young. They were all trained by the brothel. Otherwise, those masters would come in and touch the girls' hands. The calluses on their palms would all be pulled. How could that work? Therefore, their physical fitness was the worst. The two humanoids also deliberately arranged them at the front of the team as a minimum reference standard to observe the physical fitness of the entire team.

If these people are not doing well, then most people are definitely not doing well.

After all, these days, every family is starving like a baby, so where would they get the energy?

“It’s so lively, I really want to join in…”

The sound of firecrackers behind him and the lively scene full of the flavor of the New Year made AK12 feel itchy.

"Forget it. Do you think I don't want to? It's not the right time yet. You will have a chance to show your abilities later."

45 looked at AK12 who was trying to join in the fun and said unhappily.

"I'm just saying. That place is so chaotic right now. If it weren't for the order, I wouldn't want to go there and get into trouble."

“I hope you can always be so rational”

Leaving the war behind, they would lead these people across hundreds of kilometers to Yangzhou, which was relatively peaceful at the moment.

In fact, they don’t really believe the big picture that the two human figures painted. What? You will have a new life, a new job, your own land, your own house, etc. How is that possible?

For the lower-class working people, for whom having a good harvest and having enough food to eat is a luxury, they have never even dreamed of such a thing.

In the city, at the southwest gate wall.

"The enemy's main force is retreating. Do we need to pursue them?"

The hot barrel fell into the snow pile nearby, making a hissing sound. MG4 calmly installed the new barrel, reset it, and checked the condition of the gun. Beside her, there were densely packed bullet casings on the ground.

"Why do we have to collect even the shells? Commander, you are so stingy."

"Shut up! If you don't manage a household, you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are. These are all valuable resources! Pieces of bricks make a forest, and sand piles make a tower, don't you understand?"

Jiang Han denounced MG4's wasteful behavior in the channel.

As the saying goes, fighting supports fighting. After the Qing army retreated, Jiang Han, with the cooperation of the humanoids, immediately began to touch corpses. It can't be said that he was touching corpses. Others would take away all the valuable items on the bodies, but Jiang Han would scatter both the person and the items together, leaving not even the bones or ashes.
