Han’s Son is Not a Slave - Chapter 1184
Shulk, who only became strong in the seventh year of Shunzhi, is a young man who grew up after Manchuria entered the customs. If it weren’t for the heavy losses of the Manchu Eight Banners in the south, he would not have been able to become a co-leader.
Compared with the Manchu Eight Banners soldiers before the Qing army entered the customs, the new generation of bannermen after entering the customs obviously cannot be compared with their fathers and ancestors, especially the Manchu soldiers who have experienced disastrous defeats, have already feared the Taiping army like tigers.
Take Schulke’s four hundred Manchu soldiers as an example, most of them fled from Yangzhou. In the eyes of the Koreans, they are still invincible Manchu soldiers, but in fact, their fighting will is far less than those of the green battalion soldiers. , even worse than the Koreans. This is like the frontier army of the Ming Dynasty, who feared Manchuria like a tiger, but was fierce like a tiger against rogues.
Schulke saw that there were Taiping troops among the chaotic people, and the Manchu soldiers could also see that the medicine bag was familiar to them. At this moment, the Manchurians really changed their color.
Schulke wanted to escape from Wei County immediately, but he didn’t dare, because Belle Tuntai couldn’t spare him. In the end, Schulke gave up the idea of running away, at least, he can’t run now. There are also more than 7,000 defenders in Wei County. It would be too embarrassing if the enemy army fled in fear before they even attacked the city.
…..
There are four walls in Wei County. After Wei Dalong and Yu Qi discussed it, they concentrated all their forces to attack only the east gate, and vowed to succeed in one hit.
Under the orders of the officers, the Korean shotgun experts in the city checked the match ropes and ammunition over and over again. Because they were too scared, some young Korean soldiers even loaded more gunpowder. If they hadn’t been reminded by their companions, they would probably have blown the gun when they were fired. hurt myself.
The Manchurians have already demanded through Han Juyuan that the North Koreans must stay to the end, and all Shen Liu can do now is to obey the order. Other than that, he has no choice, because he has no way out at all.
Park Zhengtai’s death made Shen Liu realize that he had taken the enemy too lightly before. He did not expect the rioters to have such powerful firearms, but fortunately, the other party did not seem to have brought much, and there were no artillery pieces, which made the North Koreans feel at ease and bold. With the protection of the city wall of Wei County, the power of the shotgun is fully exerted.
“The enemy is coming!”
With the shouting of the Korean soldiers, the rebel army under the city finally moved.
Seeing that the rioters in front were lined up neatly, and they were all armed with guns, Shen Liu’s brows were wrinkled, and the tip of Jin Daquan’s nose next to him was also full of sweat.
Jin Daquan saw that there were hundreds of people behind the chaotic people of the Qing Dynasty carrying thick trees, but there were no climbing equipment such as ladders.
Just from the posture of the other party, it seems that Jin Daquan said that Shen Liu could not see the intention of more chaos in the Qing Dynasty. He knew that Jin Daquan was the king’s henchman, and he had never been on the battlefield, so he prepared to let him and his nephew Shentong go to the city, so as not to make any mistakes in the city. When it comes to fighting, the gun has no eyes, and no one knows who the gun will hit.
Just as he was about to speak, he heard a shout from the rioters under the city, followed by the sound of “bang bang” fire cannons.
The Marine Corps took the lead in firing their guns, and rows of gunners fired their guns towards the head of Wei County. The North Koreans in the city also responded quickly, and shot down the city. The fire guns used by both sides were match rope guns, and the firing distances were similar, but the Koreans had the upper hand in the counter fire because of the protection of the city wall and the commanding position. But the record was limited, because the Marines stopped right at the critical point of the firearm’s range. Going forward, the probability of hitting the shot will increase; going forward, your own shot will fail to hit the target.
Unlike the Koreans in the city who wanted to kill the enemy as much as possible, Wei Dalong just wanted to suppress the firearms on the city as much as possible, not shoot the defenders.
The two sides were there to shoot each other with fire guns.
It’s just that the Koreans didn’t expect that when they were busy loading gunpowder, the fire guns of the Qing Dynasty rioters under the city never stopped roaring. Round after round, the sound of gunfire never stopped like fried beans.
“put!”
“put!”
The gunmen in the fourth and fifth columns, under the orders of the officers, fired their guns continuously towards the head of the city, while the gunmen in the first, second, and third rows squatted on the spot and charged quickly.
The height of the city wall is less than five meters. As long as the gunmen of the Marine Corps raise the gun mouth a little, even if they can’t hit anyone, they can suppress the North Korean shotguns at the top of the city. The dense fire cannons made the Korean soldiers on the top of the city dare not come forward and hide behind the city wall. Although the fire cannons of the Qing people did not kill many people, the roar of the continuous shooting was enough to make them feel uncomfortable. North Koreans were appalled.
The enemy’s guns and guns made Shen Liu realize that they were by no means chaotic people, but a well-trained army, even stronger than the frontier army of the Ming Dynasty.
The soldiers of the Manchus and the Shandong Green Battalion squatted behind the battlements with their ears covered. The rioters outside seemed to have no intention of climbing the city, which made the Manchu soldiers and the Green Battalion somewhat helpless. After all, only North Koreans in the city have firearms, and they still use broadswords and spears. The Manchu soldiers were not reconciled, and used their big bows to shoot arrows down the city, but the distance was a little far and the effect was not good.
Wei Dalong didn’t rush to order the blasting team at all, and ordered the gunner to shoot against the city. The gunpowder smoke from the fire guns on both sides became thicker and thicker, which was not only choking, but also made it difficult to see.
Shen Liu cautiously poked his head out and found that the enemy was advancing more than ten feet. Those gunmen were in order, alternating from one team to another, and there was always a line of gunmen able to shoot at the city head.
Shen Liu realized that this would not work, because he had far more good shotguns than the enemy, but because they were scattered on the four walls of Weixian, the shotguns gathered here could not form a numerical advantage over the enemy shotguns.
He wanted to ask the Manchurians to agree to transfer some of the shotgunners from the other three sides, but at this time, he saw that the Manchu leader suddenly turned around and ran back like a demon. The rest of the Manchurians were also shouting, but none of them stayed where they were, but all ran down the city.
Shen Liu was taken aback, and before he could react, there was a “whoosh” sound in the air.
The six unscrupulous launchers carried by the Marine Corps lost four in the river, and the remaining two had been quietly carried to the front when the two sides were firing at each other, and quickly dug holes to fix them.
After ordering the blasting team to prepare, Wei Dalong ordered the launch without conscience. One of the two large pills exploded in the air a few meters away from the city wall, and the other fell on the city and exploded.
In the sound of the explosion, more than a dozen North Korean soldiers flew down from the city, and dozens of others stood, fell, or kneeled, all lifeless.
The unconscionable formidable power and killing effect made the Qing army and the Korean soldiers in the city mixed into a group. Wei Dalong took the opportunity to order the blasting team to rush to the city gate.
“Stop them, stop them!”
Shinji yelled while covering his **** nose. He saw the enemy soldiers approaching the city wall with their medicine bags.
“General Shen, the Manchus have run away!”
Jin Daquan didn’t care about going outside the city, because he found that the Manchus had all run away, and now they were the only Korean soldiers left in the city to resist.
“Master Han, did the Manchurians run away!”
Shen Liu realized that things were not good. If even the Manchurians ran away, how could they be the Koreans alone to defend the city.
“Here…”
Han Juyuan didn’t know what happened. He instinctively told him that Schulke might have run away, but he really couldn’t believe that the dignified Manzhou Association would understand such a thing.
“Ugh!”
Seeing that Han Juyuan couldn’t say anything, Shen Liu stomped his feet in anger, and found that the few enemy soldiers with gunpowder packets he had just seen disappeared outside the city wall. When soldiers arrive at the city gate, be sure to guard the city gate.
Although Wanhu didn’t know why Yuhou asked him to lead his troops to the city gate, but he also knew that the situation was urgent, so he hurriedly brought a team of soldiers to the city gate.
Disregarding the lead flying across the city, Shen Liu picked up a fire cannon from the ground and lit it at the enemy below. With a bang, a small flag officer of the Marine Corps clutched his stomach in pain. He fell to the ground, rolling over and over.
It was too late. The blaster with a red armband on his arm successfully broke into the city gate hole, placed the three packets of medicine under the city, lit the match, and quickly retreated to the city walls on both sides. “Boom”, the city gate was blown open.
“Come on!”
Yu Qi raised his sword and led his troops to the city.
Schulke, the leader of the Manchuria who fled to the city, also heard the explosion from the city gate. He was stunned for a moment, then pulled Ma Wende, the prefect of Qingzhou, beside him, and said anxiously: “The Taiping bandits are on a massive northern expedition, you and I will go with you. See Baelor!”
Ma Wende wanted to run away for a long time, and he knew that the purpose of Shuerkla’s escape with him was to help him talk~www.mtlnovel.com~ After all, he is the prefect of Qingzhou, and with his evidence, Lord Baylor will blame him, If you want to come to Schulke, you will not lose your head because of this. As for their run, what happened to the North Koreans in the city, no one cared about.
Schulke really wanted to go to Dorobel Tun Taina to report the news. Compared with the fall of Wei County and the annihilation of thousands of Koreans, the information on the appearance of Taiping bandits in Shandong is much more important. This information is too important and must be reported to the court immediately, otherwise, the Qing Dynasty will suffer a big loss.
As soon as the Manchurians ran away, Zhou Tian, the commander of the Shandong Green Camp, was not far behind, and led his subordinates to whip the North Koreans who were defending the city to one side, and then ran back to Qingzhou without looking back.
In the city of Wei County, the North Korean soldiers are now fighting stubbornly in the corner, and the supervisor Han Juyuan is also stubborn. He did not leave the North Koreans to escape alone, which made Shen Liu, who felt that he was abandoned by the Qing Dynasty, somewhat comforted.
However, seeing the elite soldiers he brought from within the country were scattered all over the city by the enemy and destroyed one by one, Shen Liu’s heart couldn’t hurt any more. Now he just wants to leave Wei County alive, and then go back to the country to tell the king what happened here. North Korea can no longer bury the soldiers for the treacherous and timid Qing people.
The battle in the city continued, and the chaos continued. Shen Liu took Han Juyuan, his nephew Shen Tong, and Jin Dazhong to break through the siege to the north. He wanted to join forces with the North Korean army there, but there were too many enemy troops rushing into the city. , his own soldiers have no intention of fighting now, and defeat is inevitable, it depends on how many people can escape.
When he fled to an alley in the city, he heard people around him shouting in Korean: “His Royal Highness the King of Qi of Daming told the soldiers of the Korean state that the two countries were originally vassals, and Daming has the grace to rebuild the country and save the country in Seoul, how can you do it? The Manchu hulu sacrificed their lives. If you put down your weapons now, Daming will spare your lives, regardless of the past, and send you back to China!”
