Chapter 490: Critical front

Although the indigenous people are inferior, they also have masters in warfare. They used old and weak soldiers to charge for the first time. They consumed the gunpowder, bullets and physical strength of the Southeast Army, causing them to lose focus and slow down the reloading speed. Now they charge for the second time. Use elite troops.

They move swiftly and vigorously, run quickly, have greater strength, stronger combat effectiveness, and better equipment. They are generally equipped with shields.

Knowing that the firearms of the Southeast Army are powerful, the shields are deliberately thickened and made stronger to resist the erosion of the bullets, and they still have some effect. The black powder guns often fail to break through the lead bullets.

At the same time, concentrate more troops to specialize in the Imperial Army!

The Imperial Union Army is a weak link, Zhang Shouyun had long anticipated that he would deliberately set off where the artillery troops would be.

He immediately ordered the messenger to mount a fast horse, drove hurriedly to the position of the Second Regiment of the Imperial Union Army, and ordered: "The brigade commander has an order. The killer will reward you. The dead and severely disabled will enter the Southeast Mansion. , Those who dare to retreat beheaded, and the income will be recovered by the local government!"

The messengers rushed to the position behind the Second Regiment of the Imperial Union Army and howled wildly, using Chinese, Japanese, Annan, and Korean respectively. This was the language that the Imperial Union Army did not want to hear.

According to the military system, the Imperial Union Army uses Chinese as the lingua franca, and uses Chinese in everything at ordinary times. Speaking other languages ​​will be punished!

The use of foreign languages ​​now indicates that the battle has reached the most critical juncture.

All the imperial confederates are very embarrassed, even if they are reluctant, they have no idea, only two words: fight to death!

In order to reward the killing of the enemy, Zhang Shouyun used his authority to enable the Imperial Union Army to enter the Southeast Mansion for the dead and severely disabled in battle against the enemy.

The boss of Southeast Fuyan respects life, life is the most precious, as long as you work for him, no matter who it is, he will repay him generously!

Those imperial confederates who join the Southeast Army are all innocent and have families, detailed addresses and contacts, and can be traced!

Once they escaped, they were not only beheaded, but even their family members in their hometown were unlucky and returned to before liberation overnight.

The military law is harsh, and the same is true for the Imperial Union Army, as well as the Southeast Army. If any officer or soldier flees, they will all be put to death. Although the income will not be recovered, the honorary title will be taken away. All of their immediate relatives who have public positions will be dismissed, descendants and grandchildren. Three generations did not enter public office and join the army!

In Songun politics in the southeast prefecture, soldiers and government officials are the most popular in society. This punishment is not unforgiving.

The group leader Kikami Tokichiro was even more annoyed. Once he was defeated, or ran away, and was put to death, not to mention, he finally got the naturalization of the southeast prefecture, which he didn't know how many lives, was also cancelled!

He didn't dare to blame Brigadier Zhang of the Southeast Mansion, he only hated why the horse basketers were so unbehaved.

There is nothing to say, he immediately organized a counter-charge: "Form a battle, stab the enemy with a spear outside, and shoot a gun inside!"

"Don't retreat, everyone will die on the battlefield!"

"Protect the cannon!"

He used all the reserve personnel, the officer himself took the lead, and he himself took the shotgun into battle.

The two sides fought violently, the front line wrestled into a ball, and they fought face to face. In the back, the imperial army drew the musket trigger at the enemy at close range, ignoring whether it would hurt their own people.

During the battle, he often injured or even killed his own people, killing all red eyes!

"Boom!" A Southeast Army artillery (generally, the technical arms must be Chinese, like warship crews only have two races: one is Chinese and the other is Hong Maofan), the enemy hit him, and his artillery brothers He was all dead, regardless of the fierce hand-to-hand combat around him, he went straight to fill the cannonballs, and then lit the artillery charge. When he saw the detonation, he shouted: "Keep down!"

Under the close bombardment, all the eight imperial confederates in front were bombarded to death, and no one managed to escape--the battlefield was too noisy to hear.

The indigenous people died more, and people fell to the ground, and the indigenous offensive that swarmed in front of them was suddenly slowed down.

Immediately there were eight more imperial soldiers guarding in front of the artillery, to ensure that he continued to reload!

The Imperial Union army gritted their teeth and fought, but the number of indigenous people who rushed was too many, and the formation was extremely dense. Even if they fired and did not know how many shots, it seemed that the indigenous people were endless.

Kikami Tokichiro used all the reserve teams, which could make up for the line of defense, and became precarious under the continuous attack of the indigenous people.

At the critical juncture, reinforcements sent by Zhang Shouyun arrived.

He also had a regiment's general reserve team in his hand. Instead of using them, he sent all the reserve artillery in his hand, a total of eighteen six-pounder field guns.

This type of artillery is graded and manufactured by Sun Yuanhua and is relatively light. The barrel is placed on a two-wheeled gun mount, and each gun has a front car with ammunition boxes, which is also two-wheeled. During transportation, the gun carriage and the front carriage are connected together to form a four-wheeled carriage for easy towing. The gun carriage with the front carriage weighs about 1 ton and is dragged with eight donkeys—this is evident from the number of donkeys used in the southeast military. .

Each gun was served by a 7-man artillery squad, and then 500 people were sent to protect. Among these 500 people, only one hundred were official soldiers, and four hundred were armed military workers, equipped with muskets.

All the people in the Southeast Army are soldiers, even elementary school students can use muskets, and adults playing muskets are even more pediatric!

Going to the rear of the Second Regiment of the Imperial Union Army, I saw a chaotic scene, with me in the enemy and the enemy in me, and the artillery frowned.

However, the artillery commander was very calm. He carried out the instructions of the brigade commander Zhang Shouyun, raised the muzzle, aimed at the front line 100 meters from the main position and blocked the shooting, isolating the indigenous follow-up troops, so that the indigenous people could not be reinforced!

Get ready~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Eighteen artillery fired fiercely. The deafening sound of the artillery made the eardrums of the officers and men of the artillery squad buzzed by the sound of the artillery. Plowed a deep gully.

The artillery hadn't stopped completely yet, the artillery rushed forward, resisted it, reset it immediately, and reloaded it.

Shotguns shot all over the sky, and the dead wind passed over the heads of the two warring parties, and the artillery even blasted them!

After hitting a hundred meters, a wave of blood was immediately set off, and the flesh and blood were blown up. Some of the indigenous bodies that were hit were blasted into sieves, and blood spurted out!

Fortunately, some people were blew to death in a straightforward manner. Some people had large openings in their bodies, and colorful internal organs flowed out with blood.

Every time a shot was fired, one piece was swept down. Riding on the other side's breath, the artillery officer of the Southeast Army sat on the high-headed horse and ordered to adjust the firing rate, lower the muzzle slightly, and fire again. Ten meters away, a large area died, and even the Imperial Army had many people hit by shotguns fired by their own artillery!

The rapid firing, the training of the artillery troops was not in vain, the firepower was intensive, the indigenous flesh and blood were blown up, the corpses were stacked, and the blood was so full!
