I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

The artillery bombardment of the Chinese army continued, and the Qing defenders had withdrawn to the city one after another.

If you don't withdraw, you will be killed by the city wall.

Who would dare to stay on the city wall with such a violent shelling?

Soon after, the city wall of Shanhaiguan collapsed, and a chain reaction followed in many places. The entire city wall collapsed as many as tens of meters.

If you want to resist this cannon, you need at least concrete fortifications.

This kind of brick and stone city wall has completely become a decoration.

The Chinese artillery stopped and the general offensive began.

"The red-clothed cannon can be eliminated."

Tang Guozhen couldn't help but said when he saw the effect of the shelling.

For the red-clothed cannon, this cannon is simply an all-round slingshot.

"I'm afraid it will take a while. Cannons are not equipped with troops so quickly. It's too expensive and expensive."

Lu Qing said.

Expensive shells are only one aspect.

On the other hand, the current equipment of the Dahua military follows some default rules, that is, only after the Praetorian Guards have better equipment will they begin to equip ordinary troops on a large scale.

Just like a machine gun, the Gatling machine guns were equipped on a large scale for the main division only after the current Praetorian Guards had been equipped with Maxim.

Therefore, if the Huajun wanted to use this cannon, he had to wait for the Praetorian Guard to have better artillery before he could hope.

Of course, this is not absolute.

"It seems that this time I have to let Brother Lu stay and test a few more times."

Tang Guozhen said helplessly.

Since it cannot be equipped in a short period of time, it is necessary to cherish this test opportunity and use it several times.

There is no need for Lu Qing to refuse this small request.

Anyway, playing a few more games can get more data, and the test results will be more comprehensive and accurate.

It's not that these cannons work well in this fight, so you can declare that these cannons are okay.

Maybe, it will not be able to play when the weather is colder.

Weather, terrain, barrel life, many factors may affect the use of this cannon. There's no harm in testing it a few more times.

While the two of them were chatting, the Hua army had launched a general attack, and the infantry began to charge.

In this charging team, there are some more machine gun squads.

Several soldiers pushed forward with wheeled machine guns, then seized the commanding heights and suppressed the enemy's fire.

This Gatling still looks primitive, but the rate of fire is not slow at all.

The rate of fire of one or two hundred rounds per minute was enough to make the Qing army collapse.

However, in fact, even without Gatling's help, the Qing army had already collapsed.

Most of the Qing troops who are still alive now have fought against the Hua army and know how powerful the Hua army is.

At the moment when the city wall collapsed, they knew that the city could not be held.

So far, the only way out is to find a way to surrender.

As for escaping, these lower-level soldiers never thought about it.

The people at the border can see the situation outside and inside the customs most clearly.

The inside of the pass is thriving, and the outside is like a purgatory on earth.

Although they are soldiers, their families in the rear are not doing well.

As for families where no one is in the military, not to mention.

A large number of soldiers threw their weapons, or got into the houses first.

Still resisting, only very few.

"Sir, let's evacuate."

The senior generals of the Qing army saw Hua's army rushing into the city and quickly persuaded Gualjia.

If this is not withdrawn, I am afraid there will be no chance.

"Ugh!"

Guardia sighed.

He has never felt comfortable fighting against Hua Jun, and every time he ends up feeling suffocated.

Moreover, every time he felt that he had lost inexplicably.

The first time he fought against the Huajun was to follow Brother Hao and fight the Huajun in Xuzhou.

As a result, the Huajun just relied on an air force unit to completely collapse the firearms unit that they spent a year or two building.

Now, they spent more than a year carefully building the fortifications, and the Chinese army is close to a few cannons, and they are easily destroyed.

In short, Hua Jun never competed with him fairly, and every time he bullied him with advanced weapons.

This made him extremely aggrieved. He felt that he did not lose to Tang Guozhen, but to the inventor of Dahua.

Subsequently, Guardia began to flee with his personal soldiers and some high-ranking generals.

However, some generals quietly fell behind, and they wanted to take the opportunity to surrender to the Huajun.

After all, if you lose Shanhaiguan, you may not be able to survive even if you escape.

Some people care more about their family, but some people care more about their own lives.

In short, each has its own options.

As soon as these high-ranking generals ran away, the low-ranking generals and soldiers who lost their command lost the will to resist and surrendered one after another.

Before Hua Jun was sweating, the Shanhaiguan Pass was taken down.

The only pity is that the city wall has been severely damaged, and it will cost a lot to repair.

However, with the current development speed of artillery, Tang Guozhen felt that there was no need to repair the city wall.

Many senior generals of the Qing army escaped, and Tang Guozhen didn't care.

As long as there are no soldiers, it is meaningless to have some generals in the Qing army.

.

After clearing the remaining enemies, they counted the results.

In this battle, they killed about 1,500 people and captured 13,000 people.

And their own death toll was only twenty-three, and the number of wounded was in the early 100s.

I don't know, I thought they hit a small county.

Even in a small county town, the control of casualties is so small that it is quite remarkable.

But in fact, they laid down the first Xiongguan Shanhaiguan in Liaodong.

Before it was changed, if you wanted to conquer this city, it would be impossible to kill tens of thousands of people.

I don't know how many soldiers died in this Xiongguan, and there are many awesome people who died in this Xiongguan.

"A journey of mountains, a journey of water, walking towards Yuguan, a thousand lights in the dark of night."

"The wind is changing, the snow is changing, and the dream of breaking the heart of the hometown will not come true, and there is no such sound in the hometown."

Tang Guozhen said.

"Good poem, good poem, a good poem by the general."

Immediately, some subordinates flattered.

"I didn't do this, but His Majesty wrote it two years ago. We have finally fulfilled His Majesty's wish, and we have to send someone to report the good news to the capital."

Tang Guozhen laughed.

Everyone was shocked when they heard the words. If Tang Guozhen hadn't said this now, they really didn't know that Wu Changqing could write poetry, and he seemed to write quite well.

However, everyone was relieved at the thought of the mysterious Wu Changqing.

Anyway, no matter how many magical things Wu Changqing did, they would not be surprised anymore, because they were used to it.

"After listening to His Majesty's poems, I feel a little homesick. I'd better settle down outside the gate as soon as possible. I haven't been back to Nanjing for almost two years."

Another general said.

His words resonated with everyone. Nanjing is much stronger than this kind of broken place.
