The maximum distance of rifle fire in the air was only about 300 meters, while the airship squadron remained at an altitude of 500 meters.The bullets burst out of the muzzle, and they fell one after another after only halfway to the point, and they couldn't move the airship at all.The Qing army watched as sixty airships floated overhead, and in their hearts full of panic and doubt, a black piece of iron finally fell from the airships.A "boom" burst suddenly resounded throughout the Shali Courtyard City, and the smoke of gunpowder billowed up, and then sixty airships fell down this iron block at the same time."
It's a bomb, it's a bomb, hurry up and dodge" The generals finally knew what this thing was, and they screamed and hurriedly found cover to dodge."
Boom, boom, boom" At the moment when sixty bombs landed at the same time, the heavens and the earth seemed to begin to roll at this time.Everyone felt a jolt under their feet, as if the ground was about to collapse and crack.The Qing troops in the center of the bomb were even more miserable, completely strangled by the scattered shrapnel left and right, and there was no room to dodge.Either they were buried alive by the collapsed walls or they were blown to pieces by shrapnel.The dust is splashing, and the sand is flying.The Korean city wall was not very strong in the first place, and the bombed southern wall did not hold out even for a round, and was completely razed to the ground.The Qing army in it was all spurting blood, buzzing in their ears, and no sound could be heard at this time.The Qing army and the Huaxing army, two old enemies, officially fought each other on the Korean battlefield two years after the armistice.This is also the first time that the Kwantung New Army and the Huaxing Army have met, but I didn't expect the Huaxing Army to send such a meeting gift.These Qing troops deep in the Kwantung region have completely heard and seen nothing they have seen.In less than ten minutes, the defense system of the city wall that the Qing army had worked hard to renovate in the past few days was completely blown up.The more than 3,000 Qing troops stationed at the southern city wall were caught off guard by the bombing, and in the end, only a few escaped from the bombing circle.When the Qing troops on the other three city walls saw such a situation, they would obediently wait for the airship troops to come and bomb on the city walls.The supreme general Bujechuk gave an order, and with the remaining more than 6,000 soldiers, all of them were evacuated to Pyongyang.The gateway to Pyongyang was easily captured, and the Qing army's reinforcements were just about to set off from Pyongyang, and many remnants of the defeated soldiers fled outside the city one after another.No one expected that the firepower of the Huaxing Army would be so ferocious.After receiving the news, Prince Alcohol immediately ordered his troops to defend the city, and did not want reinforcements to rush to the Shari Courtyard to ambush.He summoned all the commanders of his divisions to the headquarters for a meeting.All the generals had a flustered expression on their faces, and they kept whispering in the headquarters."
Hello Prince" Prince Alcohol led the guards into the military tent and sat down in the seat of the marshal in the middle.The generals on both sides clasped their fists and bowed to Prince Alcohol.The Qing army did not yet have the rule of sitting on an equal footing, and when the meeting was held, the commander still sat in the central seat, and the generals stood on both sides according to the size of the official rank."
Alright, don't come to the void.Hua Xingjun came to the door when he saw it, let's talk about it, what are the best ways for you to resist" Prince Alcohol waved his hand with a sad face, and cut directly to the topic.When he heard the news that the Huaxing army had captured Seoul, he still couldn't believe it.Now it seems that all this is true, and their power is far stronger than that of the Qing army.These days, the logistical grain and grass have not been replenished for a long time.Prince Alcohol was already full of sorrow, but now he is even more worried about his heart."
Tell the prince, forgive the words of the last general.We should take advantage of the fact that the Huaxing Army has not yet gained a firm foothold in Shaliyuan, and now lead the troops to take the initiative to launch an attack and catch them off guard" Qi Buchen, the commander of the First Army, stood up and directly hugged his fists and asked for battle.Prince Alcohol's eyebrows tightened, and before he could speak, the commander of the Third Army, Alhatu, stood up and played, "By all means, the prince is short of food and grass in our army, and he is already a tired army."
If you take the initiative to attack again, you will inevitably lose your strength and be easily defeated by the Huaxing Army."
The prince handed over such an important place to your Third Army to garrison, but you didn't hold it for even half an hour, and you must be held accountable for the crime of fear of the enemy and cowardice of the commander of your left division," Qi Buchen scolded Alhatu angrily.After receiving the news that the Huaxing Army was attacking Shaliyuan, Qi Buchen hurriedly reorganized his troops and horses and was about to go over to support, but he never thought that he would see the defeated officers and soldiers of the Third Army as soon as he walked halfway.They were frightened by the airship squadron of the Huaxing Army, and they all fled back without firing a single shot.The Huaxing army was not in a hurry to pursue, they did not expect that the attack would be so easy, even the logistics troops did not keep up, and the battle was over.Liu Lu, commander of the Second Army of the Right Army, immediately asked the soldiers to organize the battlefield and prepare to wait for the logistics to be properly supplied before continuing to march towards Pyongyang.The logistics he waited for were not food, but mainly mortar shells.Because of the fear of fighting a positional battle with the Qing army, mortar artillery must also follow at the same time when attacking."
Qi Buchen, you really don't have a backache when you stand and talk, do you know how fierce the artillery fire of the Huaxing Army is, our left division has tens of thousands of horses and horses stationed on the city wall, and the Huaxing Army doesn't know which god and where to borrow a flying warship, and directly threw bombs down from it, and in just ten minutes, more than 3,000 soldiers stationed on the southern city wall were blown into flesh and blood.Qi Buchen, how do you defend it, can you take down the warship in the sky" Alhatu cried out for his subordinates, although he didn't see the legendary flying warship, but it was really thrilling to hear his subordinates say it."
Alhatu, you are also the chief general of the first army, you also believe in such an excuse to open the river What kind of warship can fly, Lao Tzu is so big, you only know that the cowhide can fly, and it is all blown up by you cowardly people" Qi Buchen retorted loudly, and he was almost amused by Alhab's fabrication of reasons.All the generals laughed loudly, and looked at the generals of the Third Army with contempt."
Okay, shut up the king and call you here to discuss how to deal with the enemy, not to let you quarrel" Prince Alcohol shouted, slapped the coffee table next to him with his right hand, and smashed the teapot and porcelain bowl to the ground."
The prince is angry" The generals immediately knelt on the ground in a panic, and none of them dared to say anything.Prince Alcohol looked at Alhab with a cold face, and he didn't believe that any ship would fly into the sky, unless Hua Xingjun really had the help of immortals.The war with the Huaxing army was imminent, and he secretly wondered in his heart, whether to do it first, the fugitive will be the best way to observe words and colors, and the face of Prince Alcohol knew that he had moved to kill, and before Prince Alcohol spoke, Alhab preemptively said, "Prince, the loss of the Shali Courtyard, our Third Army bears an unshirkable responsibility."
The last general will now lead his troops to act as the vanguard, take back the Shariyuan from the Huaxing army, and ask the prince to give the brothers a chance to make meritorious contributions."
Your third army acts as the vanguard, and immediately attacks the Shali Courtyard, and this king does not believe that the Huaxing army can do witchcraft.Our weapons are all the same, do they still have three heads and six arms" Prince Alcohol felt a lot more comfortable in his heart all of a sudden, and the killing machine that had just moved immediately disappeared without a trace."
Prince, the last general is also willing to act as a vanguard and act together with the Third Army" Qi Buchen, the commander of the First Army, also hugged his fists and begged for battle, he had long wanted to fight with the Huaxing Army, and listened to the shouts of the Huaxing Army and the Huaxing Army in his ears all day long, and his ears were cocooned, "Old Qi, you are still interested enough Prince, it's so decided" Alhatu immediately smiled and made a friendship with Qi Buchen.Qi Buchen ignored him, he acted as a vanguard, and he was also afraid that the Third Army would flee again, and the situation would be even more difficult to control at that time."
Well, only when everyone is united can we defeat all enemies.Then the Third Army and the First Army will attack the Hwaheung Army, and the Second Army will remain in Pyongyang to deploy defenses.If anyone dares to escape from the battle again this time, Hugh blames the king for not being merciful" Prince Alcohol looked at the two of them and gave the order with relief, the Kwantung New Army has been in preparation for two years, and it is the first time to see the two of them take the initiative to ask for their lives."
Yes, Prince," the generals clasped their fists and took orders, and after the meeting ended, they prepared for themselves.As soon as Alhatu returned to the camp, he gathered all his soldiers and prepared to set out for the battle."
Commander, the prince didn't punish our brothers," Wu Youcai, the military advisor, saw Alhab, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask with his fists cupped."
Strategist, what kind of people are we, our calves are not protected, who is willing to protect the calves outside the tent to roll up, Lao Tzu has a new task to explain" Alhatu patted his chest, looking like Lao Tzu can settle big things.The three division commanders entered the army commander one after another with their heads down, and the left division commander Buyechuk even hung his head and his face turned red."
Okay, isn't it just a defeat, we haven't fought before.Bujechuk, Lao Tzu also gave up for you, and promised to be a pioneer in front of the prince and recapture the Shali Courtyard, so that the prince left your little life.You earn some anger for Lao Tzu, let's use some flying warship to prevaricate Lao Tzu.If the prince doesn't kill you, Lao Tzu will cut you first" Alhatu scolded Bujechuk with his head and face, and when he said the flying warship just now, he was chuckled by the other generals."
But the army commander, the Huaxing Army really has a flying warship, where do your subordinates dare to deceive you," Bujechuk defended aggrievedly, if he hadn't seen this with his own eyes, no one would have dared to believe it."
Alright, alright, even if it's real, someone has to see it to know.You all give Lao Tzu a little flexibility when you go to the battlefield, and this time the First Army also cooperates.When the time comes, when you see that the situation is not right, you will let the First Army take the lead, let's save our lives first" Alhatu also felt that it was impossible for Bujechuk to lie to him, but no one believed him when he said it.can only let the old stubborn of the First Army go to the battlefield to feel it, otherwise the prince will cure the Third Army of the crime of fearing the enemy without fighting and fleeing from the battle.The soldiers and horses of the two armies of Pyongyang City were quickly assembled, and Prince Cho waved his military flag on the castle tower, and more than 70,000 men and horses marched towards the Sari Courtyard
