Bringing Military Supplies to Ming Dynasty - Chapter 1684

Such a detailed explanation made Yang Bo nod constantly. He finally understood his father’s pains. At this moment, the haze on Yang Bo’s face disappeared. Instead, he bent to the end, “father, Bo’er wrote down what you said.”

“Ha ha, OK.” he reached out and patted Yang Bo on the shoulder. Yang Chendong looked pleased.

In fact, as Yang Chendong thought, the people who stayed in Guangzhou with the Nanming army did regard the five-star army as an opponent, which is not as simple as distrust.

Among the people, the tyrants and gentry dominated. They have long been informed that where the five-star army passes, all the rich can only leave 20% of their property, which is unacceptable to them. Although most of their wealth comes from the good policies of Daming and exploitation, this is also a skill, isn’t it?

Why should they work hard as villains and turn over the wealth they get to Yang? If they can’t understand it, they will be the enemy of the five-star army. In order to enable the Nanming army to win the war, these tyrants also provided money and food for the Nanming army.

There are such people, even if they die under gunfire, Yang Chendong will not feel a trace of pain.

In addition to these gentry, there are some elderly people. They don’t want to leave their hometown. Even if they die, they will die in their hometown. Of course, the proportion of such people is very low.

There are also some scholars in the Ming Dynasty. They have learned the way of Confucius and Mencius since childhood, and they are full of knowledge. Nerds like this have a great chance of becoming officials under the system of the Ming Dynasty, but when they come to the Yang Department, their studies will no longer have any future. These people stayed.

But even if they stayed, when they saw the Nanming army practicing array in the barracks before the war, they looked down on them and said, “it’s really a man with developed limbs. It’s humiliating to be polite.”

People are dying. They are surrounded and can’t go anywhere. They still look down on the martial arts and soldiers. Even if such people enter the Yang Department, they will be transformed. Such people will die, which will not hurt people.

In a word, all the people left behind want to be enemies with the Yang family, that is, the enemy is innocent under the gunfire?

Without a word overnight, the sun rose as usual the next morning.

The soldiers of the five-star army had a hot breakfast early in the morning. As time pointed to seven o’clock, the artillery was in place and the shells were loaded.

With the rank of Senior Colonel (Leng Feng’s cadres are on the high side), head Lin Lun, holding a small red flag, shouted loudly in full view, “target – the city wall of Guangzhou government.”

“Distance – five miles.”

“Direction – left zero four!”

“High and low plus two!”

“Bomb filling, delay lead excitation!”

“Everyone is ready!”

With the small red flag suddenly falling, Lin Lun’s voice shouted again: “launch!”

“Boom… Boom… Boom…”

A shell came out of the chamber and went straight towards the Guangzhou government in front. With the first shelling outside Xicheng gate, the shelling also sounded outside Beicheng and Nancheng gate. For a time, the shelling rumbled, and the earth seemed to tremble.

The city wall of Guangzhou mansion, which was labeled as the attack side, was immediately full of holes. The falling of shells attracted the falling of wall skins and bursts of crying. Obviously, under the shelling, many Nanming troops were hit, and the tragic sound came from the mouth of these soldiers.

The fire was shining, one by one. The soldiers in Nanming couldn’t lift their heads at all. These buns have finally seen the powerful power of Yang artillery, which is definitely not comparable to their red cannon.

Speaking of the 200 red cannons arranged around, it’s miserable now. It is impossible to give full play to its strength when it is smashed into piles of scrap iron under the heavy artillery fire one after another.

Hearing that all the cannons had been destroyed, Guan Ying’s face showed a look of heartache. But those Nanming generals around him did not notice this, but kept flattering, “thanks to the general’s clever plan, they let the soldiers withdraw from the city tower in advance. Otherwise, the shelling loss this time is too great.”

“Yes, I didn’t expect the artillery of the five-star army to be so fierce. Of course, they wouldn’t expect that we had made arrangements under the general’s order. Ha ha ha.”

“This time, these guns are destined to return empty handed. When they are finished, that’s when we show our power.”

Since the generals are full of gossip, you say what I say. People who don’t know think they are already winners now.

After half an hour of artillery attack, the sound of explosion became weaker and weaker until it completely disappeared. Guan Ying’s face also returned to normal. Although it is said that the red cannon he arranged will not play any role, it may be a great credit for saving the main force of the army. Then it depends on the real Kung Fu in his hand. “Come on, send everyone to the city building. The artillery fire has stopped. The five-star army should be ready to attack.”

For a time, there were shouts of life soldiers everywhere, and the soldiers of the Nanming army who had escaped before began to rush towards the city tower. But when they really reached the tower, they found that there was no enemy in front of them, let alone the shadow of a five-star army.

“What’s going on? Why didn’t they launch an assault?” many generals looked puzzled when they went up the tower.

Guan Ying didn’t immediately understand. He stood there in distress. Suddenly, he thought of a possibility and shouted loudly, “no, the five-star army will continue to carry out shelling. Come on, let’s get back.”

After shouting, Guan Ying ignored the others and went down the tower first. It was at this time that the artillery rang again and the artillery of the five-star army covered it for the second time.

As a person of later generations, Yang Chendong’s familiarity with the use of artillery is naturally incomparable with others. Like the second coverage of artillery fire, it has been used in the war as early as the Anti Japanese war. Such an approach will often make the opponent unable to touch the truth and often pay a heavy price.

Before, Yang Chendong didn’t know that Guan Ying withdrew the army in advance. The second coverage he ordered was just a habit. It was this habit that caught the Nanming army unprepared and caused them heavy losses.

Many Nanming troops haven’t responded yet. What’s going on? When they were still crowded on the towers, the sound of artillery rumbled and fell on the wall. One after another, the Nanming army was blown up, killed and injured.

Just the second coverage of artillery fire, at least 4000 Nanming troops were affected. When the gunfire stopped, there were broken limbs and arms all over the city. Occasionally, those who survived with good luck were also injured and cried in pain.

There are no effective anti-inflammatory drugs at this time. Once the injury is too serious, it is basically a result of waiting to die. Seeing that less than two hours after the war, there were more than 1000 wounded, and these people were likely to be incurable, Guan Ying’s face became even more ugly.

He was not afraid of the five-star army attacking the city. With his preparation in advance and the abundance of troops and food in the city, he was confident of a big war with the five-star army. Even invincible can remain invincible for a certain period of time.

But the feeling of being hit by long-range artillery is really hard, which makes people feel powerless.

The gunfire stopped for the second time. This time, the five-star army moved, but they just sent out a few people. One by one, holding tin loudspeakers, came to the next arrow outside the city tower and shouted loudly, “Nanming army, listen, the five-star army is willing to accept the injured Nanming soldiers in the spirit of being the same Han nationality. Just put the people down from the downstairs of the city with hanging blue, and then our army will take them away for treatment to save their lives. Don’t thank you. If you want to thank your parents, you will be born in the land of Han people.”

“Nanming army, listen, the five-star army is in line with…”

The shouts were repeated again and again. Several people shouted in turn. There were people under several city gates, so that the Nanming soldiers in the city could hear them clearly. It took another half an hour for these people to beat their horses and return.

“General, what should I do?” looking at these five-star armies, I withdrew. Several generals asked Guan Ying with worried eyes.

This is not to cure people. This is clearly a psychological tactic. It is not only buying people’s hearts, but also disturbing people’s hearts. Guan Ying doesn’t know what’s going on, but what can he do if the other party doesn’t attack the city at all?

Thinking that he couldn’t get confused before attacking the city, Guan Ying clenched his teeth and said, “find the best doctor in the city and let them treat the wounded to reassure the army.”

This is clearly to confront the five-star army. It is also telling the soldiers in the army that the five-star army can save them and the Nanming court can save them. You just need to work hard.

Sure enough, this move was effective. When other Nanming soldiers saw that the wounded were carried to various hospitals and doctors came to treat them, they were still very happy. It also indirectly proved that once they were injured, they would not be abandoned, which was equivalent to more chances of survival.

Just cracked a psychological collapse of the five-star army. Without waiting for a breath, the gunfire rang out again. But this time, it didn’t fall on the city tower, but towards the Guangzhou government. For a time, there was the sound of gunfire everywhere in the city. In some places, it was directly fired because it was a wooden structure.

The shell directly extended into the city, which was a surprise to the Nanming army. Without enough preparation, it suffered heavy losses.
