Cutting over the end of the Ming Dynasty: a dog-leg knife at the beginning

Chapter 1023 Breakthrough 2
Shen Tingyang stood on the deck and stared at Shanhaixiongguan not far away with a telescope. The sea breeze blew his cloak high, and he looked very energetic.Yes, as early as a few years ago, he was still a small sea merchant, earning a little money by running the sea, and had no reputation at all, but who would have thought that now he has become the admiral of the Imperial Navy, mastering hundreds of powerful ships. battleship?He and his fleet had fought hard over the past few months, but there was never an opportunity to beat the enemy hard.As early as last winter, when the crisis was brewing, he personally led the fleet to the north to try to rendezvous with Chongzhen to prevent the tragedy from happening, but unfortunately, the Bohai Sea was frozen, and the entire fleet was trapped in the port by thousands of miles of floating ice. Only to stare blankly.Seeing that the whole of the north was slaughtered with corpses and blood, but he was trapped in the port. He had a strong combat power but could not use it. The bayonet told the Qing army that they were the most powerful soldiers in the world, even if they reached land, they could still kill the Qing army's corpses all over the field!And they really did it. In a series of bloody battles, these sailors who went ashore terrified the Qing army and won the nickname "Black Death".When a group of sailors landed on the shore, the waves flew up. They were the odd ones among the sailors.

But fighting land battles is just a side job after all. They belong to the sea, and everyone hopes that the sea ice will melt quickly so that they can return to the sea and use naval guns to teach the enemy a lesson!Looking forward to the stars and the moon and finally looking forward to the melting of the sea ice, they can finally show their talents. The Battle of Tianjin and the Battle of Tangshan all kicked off with the crazy roar of their naval guns. The army is defeated!In addition, they also sent a squadron to advance to Yingkou, posing as if they were about to land, which involved a large number of Qing troops, making them unable to maintain pressure on Fuzhou. Lu Xiangsheng was able to calmly train the army and successfully organize Train three legions.But other than that, they seem to have nothing to show for their achievements. Who said that the Qing army didn't have any navy at all?No matter how powerful the combat power is, it can't be shown without an opponent, right?So when it was learned that Shanhaiguan was going to be attacked, from Shen Tingyang to every ordinary sailor, they screamed like chicken blood. Shen Tingyang personally selected [-] of the most powerful warships and brought them together. The foot cannonball rushed over viciously.They know how strong Shanhaiguan is, and it is precisely because of its firmness that they can show their abilities by helping the army break open the turtle shell!
Zheng Chenggong pointed to the balloons that kept throwing shells over Shanhaiguan, blowing up Shanhaiguan into flames, and exclaimed excitedly: "Balloon bombing again! This is fun, and the enemy can be blown up to cry with ease! We used it to fry red hair in Taiwan, it was very enjoyable!"

Shi Lang shook his head: "Of course it's fun to blow up enemies with it, but it's not fun to be blown up by it..."

Zheng Chenggong smiled: "Don't be afraid, only we Daming have this thing, no one else has it, and we are the only ones who blow up others!"

Shen Tingyang glared at them and said, "I just know how to play! Have the data been measured?"

Shi Lang looked smug: "It's been tested a long time ago! After the adjustment of the naval gun's parameters, it's just waiting to fire the gun and fuck the mother!"

Shen Tingyang is still very satisfied with these two little guys. These two little guys are full of vigor, fearless, and they are born to be good materials for war.However, he was very strict with these two little guys. There was no other reason, but he had higher expectations for them, so he had to be strict with everything.He said: "Then what are you waiting for? Fire!"

On the Shanhaiguan side, the balloon bombing had come to an end for the time being. Those monsters who had thrown all the shells circled around in the air, admiring their masterpieces, and then slapped their buttocks and slipped away.However, the tense atmosphere in Shanhaiguan did not ease a little bit. On the contrary, it became more tense——Anyone who is not blind can see the terrifying lineup of the Imperial Fleet on the sea. With so many naval guns pointed at him, who would relax? get down?Many soldiers were about to collapse, and kept yelling: "This battle is impossible to fight, let's run away!" "Where are we going to run? Unless we surrender, those warships will chase us wherever we flee." "Surrender? Don't dream, the imperial court will not accept our surrender, haven't you seen so many generals being executed by them after surrendering!?" "Then what should I do?" "How do I know what to do?" What to do!" They were completely panicked, and a chaotic and fierce quarrel broke out. Of course, this kind of quarrel was useless, on the contrary, it made the atmosphere even more tense!

Just as they were complaining to each other, a continuous fire burst out from the periphery of Shanhaiguan Pass. The Heluo New Army had more than 40 howitzers, more than 30 heavy thunderbolt guns, and six 120mm cannons fired at the same time. The strong recoil even made the ground vibrate. , the violent loud noise exploded like thunder, and the ears of Catherine, who was watching the battle not far away, were buzzing, and she almost passed out!That's not to mention, there was also thunder-like bangs from the sea, dozens of naval guns fired at the same time, and the white smoke from the muzzles instantly covered a small area of ​​the sea, and the shells pierced through the smoke and roared out. Go straight to Shanhaiguan!

Clusters of explosive points flared up in the Xiongguan Fortress, and then swelled into orange-red fireballs rolling up. This is a destructive force. The city wall burst in front of it, the houses were bombarded by it, and the trees were uprooted. The soldiers covered by the artillery fire turned into flying fragments or twisted human-shaped coke in the desperate wailing... When the shells fell into Shanhaiguan like a hailstorm, what the Guan Ning army saw was a doomsday scene!The seemingly indestructible city wall was peeled off layer by layer, the fortresses were bombed down one by one, and the city was even blazed up.They couldn't reach the enemy, but under the enemy's attack, their flesh and blood were flying everywhere. The bombardment of this earth-shattering bombardment broke their liver and gallbladder. Crazy, completely without the slightest bit of prestige of the past.This is the dignity of the God of War. When the cannon roars, no one can remain calm!If there is... I admire it, but I have to see a brain doctor as soon as possible, preferably one with 20 years of clinical experience!
Even Hu Shenjiang and Huang Shenjiang, who insisted on bloody battles to the end and showed the court a little color, were no different from ordinary soldiers. The shock and extreme fear temporarily deprived them of the ability to walk, and they could not think of any other way to escape this terrible purgatory except by crawling.But the shells were chasing after them, and Hu Shenjiang was unfortunately hit in the waist by a piece of shrapnel, and fell to the ground screaming, reaching out and grabbing Wu Baichuan's left foot, hissing: "Help me... save me... ..."

Wu Baichuan didn't make any unnecessary movements. He drew out his waist knife and raised the knife with his hand. Hu Shenjiang let out a miserable scream, and his hand was chopped off by him.He clutched his broken arm, distorted all five broken arms, and screamed with resentment: "You surnamed Wu, you will die!"

Wu Baichuan roared angrily: "If you hadn't fought hard, how could I have gotten to where I am today? You should have died a long time ago!"

Hu Shenjiang trembled in pain, extremely resentful: "You will die badly, die badly!"

Good guy, you're still in the mood to quarrel after you've reached this point?

The Heluo New Army came to persuade the fight.As soon as a cannonball hit, these two disappeared in a cloud of blood mist, and they couldn't even find a scum -- that's okay, so they can continue to quarrel forever.

At the beginning, the artillerymen of the Guanning Army were still fighting back desperately, but soon they gave up this desperate counterattack, because none of their guns could reach the opponent at all, and the opponent's shells kept flying towards them Come here, it's amazing!After being blown away with seven cannons in a row, the gunners on the city wall dropped their cannons and fled from the city wall, no matter how much the officers cursed or even beat them, they refused to go back to the cannon positions—go back to seek death ah?As a result, the artillery battle became a unilateral speech by the new army. The artillery shells flew over one after another, bombarding the city wall. They wanted to blow down the city wall and rush in!

Guan Ning's army was no longer in the mood to manage the city wall. When they learned that many generals had been bombed to pieces, they collapsed in an instant.Where are you going?I don’t know, anyway, the farther away from Shanhaiguan, the better. It’s better to escape to the deep mountains and old forests to be a savage than to stay here and be killed by shells!
The shells fired by the artillerymen of the Heluo New Army could not cross the entire Shanhai Pass to attack the fleeing soldiers of the Guanning Army, and the fleet concentrated on bombarding the fortifications of the city wall, and had no mood to control these deserters, so they escaped from the city.However, this does not mean that they will be able to escape smoothly. Countless soldiers and family members were terrified, rushing out of the north gate like a colony of ants driven by a fire, all wanting to escape from this extremely dangerous ghost place as soon as possible , so many people blocked the north gate, pushing and trampling each other, causing many deaths and injuries.The red-eyed deserters even drew their knives and slashed and stabbed at the people blocking their way, trying to fight a bloody path, which in turn aggravated the chaos.Just as the commotion was raging, the ground shook violently, and someone yelled in horror: "The city wall has been blown down! We are finished!"

The city wall of Shanhaiguan is indeed very strong, but this kind of strength is only for the army in the cold weapon era. Facing the fierce bombardment of hundreds of howitzers, its effect is very limited.First of all, the naval guns of the Transformers fleet destroyed all the fortifications near the coast with a burst of indiscriminate bombing, and even knocked down a section of the city wall.Immediately afterwards, the six 120mm cannons supported by the navy to the army knocked down the city gate, exposing the deep corridor.Then, the city wall couldn't hold it anymore. Under the volley of dozens of howitzers, the city wall of the south gate collapsed, and a large number of huge city wall bricks poured down, causing the earth to vibrate violently, and the smoke and dust rose to the sky!When the smoke and dust dissipated a little bit, Guan Ningjun saw in despair that a large gap more than 40 meters long had been blasted into the city wall. Soldiers from the new army armed with rifles poured in from the gap like a black tide. They hadn't responded yet. Come over, the cold bayonet pierced their bodies...

Soon, a black tiger flag was erected in Qiaolou, and the sea breeze was blowing at it, making a sound of hunting. The black tiger on the flag bared its teeth and claws, setting off the billowing smoke, becoming more and more murderous!

Shanhaiguan, known as the "No. 700 pass in the world", was taken down by the new army of Heluo in this way. More than [-] casualties were caused by the [-] Guan Ning army. Most of the rest surrendered. Only a few escaped from the city and fled into the mountains. In the near future, they will have to go down the mountain to surrender to Heluo's new army. After all, it's hard to be a savage on the mountain.In this battle, the power of the artillery was fully demonstrated, and the Guan Ning Army, which was defending against danger, could not even last a day under the heavy bombardment of the artillery!
