"Quick, we're almost at Ginkou! The Great General had ordered that the first batch of people to enter the city would be rewarded with 100 catties of grain!”
"100 catties of grain? Really?"
"The Great General personally promised, how can it be fake?”
"Hahaha, I want to be the first to enter the city today!”
"Quick, run! Even the artillery can run faster than our infantry!"
On the road three kilometers away from Ginkou, dust flew everywhere.
The 30,000 Qing soldiers quickened their pace and even started to run, fighting for the reward of 100 catties of grain.
Little did they know that on the top of the hill seven or eight hundred meters away from them, several artillery scouts had already reported the coordinates to the artillery with the backpack SCR300 frequency hopping walkie-talkie.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
At this moment, a sharp shriek suddenly came from the cloudless sky.
The Qing army looked up curiously, not knowing what was going on.
In the next second…
The cannonballs descended from the sky and smashed into the ground, stirring up sand and mud.
Whoosh! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The power of the large-caliber howitzer was extremely terrifying. Basically, when a cannonball exploded, anything within a 15-meter radius would be instantly torn apart.
After the first round of explosions, the Qing army was dumbfounded!
Looking at the broken limbs, internal organs, and pieces of flesh on the ground, some Qing soldiers could not help but vomit.
However, before they could react, the first round of test firing was over. The scout immediately reported the impact point. After correcting the elements, the second round of shells was about to arrive.
Hong Hong Hong ~
The second round of artillery shells was much more accurate than the first round. Almost all of them hit the middle of the Qing army, turning the area within a few hundred meters into a sea of fire.
The Qing army was already densely packed, and when they were bombarded by such fierce artillery fire, they suffered heavy casualties.
After a few rounds of bombardment, two to three thousand people died without a complete corpse, and four to five thousand people were injured.
Ali Man, who was walking behind the team, was dumbfounded.
The artillery shells were fired from Qinzhou, which meant that the Yan Huang National Defense Force definitely had artillery.
Looking at the sand that was stirred up by the explosion in front of him and feeling the intense tremors from the ground, there was only one thought in his mind.
He had fallen into a trap!
The Yan Huang National Defense Army was definitely not a rebel, but an army of a foreign power!
Otherwise, how could there be such a large caliber cannon?
" Quick, retreat!!!"
He hurriedly ordered a retreat, but it was too late.
The artillery shells continued to fall. After the 30,000 Qing soldiers were killed and injured, their morale collapsed and they scattered in fear.
As far as the eye could see, the entire mountain was filled with defeated soldiers.
"Great General, leave quickly! The rebel infantry is less than 500 meters away from us, hurry!”
Feng He rode his horse over and shouted anxiously,"The intelligence is wrong. The rebel army has tens of thousands of infantry and many trucks.”
"Great General! Quickly retreat! I'll stay behind to block the rebel army!"
Aliman wasn't here to be a member of the Eight Banners noble family. He had been a warrior since he was young, and the genes of cruelty and bloodlust flowed in his bones before the Jurchen entered the pass.
He shook his head coldly." I won't leave. Sound the horn and gather the troops. Those who disobey will be killed without mercy!"”
"Yes, sir!"
Feng He knew Ali Man's temperament very well, so he signaled for the bugle soldiers to blow the assembly horn.
Wuwuwuwu ~ Wuwuwu ~
A sharp horn sounded. Hearing this sound, the Qing army, who had wanted to escape, immediately stopped and turned to run in the direction of the horn.
They didn't dare to flee, because being a deserter was a great crime that would kill their entire family.
For the sake of his family, even if he had to die, he had to brace himself and charge forward!
When the bugle sounded, the artillery fire stopped.
On the smoke-filled wasteland, there were huge craters with the corpses of Qing soldiers lying all over the place. It was a shocking sight.
The bombardment lasted for ten minutes, killing and injuring more than 10,000 people. It was enough to show that the artillery was the well-deserved god of war.
rumble ~
The sound of engines could be heard, and hundreds of trucks appeared in the sight of the Qing army that had just gathered. Behind them were densely packed National Defense Army soldiers.
When they were four to five hundred meters away, the truck stopped and the artillery came forward to unload the 60mm and 80mm mortars from the truck.
Once the preparations were complete, the cannons fired again.
Boom! Boom!
The Qing army was numb, his entire body was numb!
What was this rebel army doing? Did they not need money for their artillery shells?
Seeing that the troops that had just gathered were about to be blasted apart again, Aliman could not care less and directly ordered the attack to withstand the artillery fire.
Retreating would definitely lead to death. Only by charging head-on would there be a chance to turn defeat into victory.
"Kill, kill the thief!"
With a single order, nearly 20,000 people raised their guns and charged aggressively at the National Defense Force.
Reality proved that Aliman's decision was right.
After charging for two to three hundred meters, the mortar shells could not hit them.
As long as they rushed over in one go, wouldn't it be easy for them to win with numbers?
Unfortunately, imagination was beautiful, but reality was unusually cruel.
How strong was the firepower of the National Defence Force?
" Fire!!!"
Da da ~ Bang bang bang ~
Hundreds of machine guns and thousands of semi-automatic rifles opened fire at the same time on the front line that was seven to eight hundred meters wide. The bullets formed a large metal net in the air and enveloped the Qing army.
The Qing army at the front suffered a catastrophic disaster, and in the blink of an eye, they fell one after another.
The sound of bullets hitting flesh could be heard without end. Many Qing soldiers were hit by seven or eight bullets at the same time. Their intestines were pierced, their stomachs were torn apart, and their brains and blood sprayed out. The scene was very terrifying.
Slaughter, this was simply slaughter!
