Han Le'er still left after all, but even if Cao Yunniang withdrew the suggestion of the soldiers left behind on the city wall, her practice of placing some of the soldiers who fought the tiger camp near the city did not change, no matter what the soldiers who fought the tiger camp thought, anyway, after eating breakfast one by one, they each found a corner and went to sleep, it seems that they have more confidence in the Qingfeng camp than their own guerrilla adults.
Cao Yunniang did not pay attention to the soldiers under the city, but stood at the head of the city, carefully looked at the enemy army outside the city, the camp of the Dayue people, about two or three miles away from the city, between the camp and the city, some trees and villages that had been there before, in the last time the Ming army attacked the city, it had been swept clean, and now in this place, it can be said that it is empty at a glance.
For this situation, Lin Xiaohong also expressed his satisfaction, the horizon is wide and unobstructed, which is undoubtedly like a tiger to the firepower output point on the city, and now the machine gun positions on the city head have been in place one by one, now it depends on how long the Dayue people can press it, and then they will jump to these guns that have long been hungry and thirsty.
"Can we really stand it" Without outsiders, Cao Yunniang saw the dense camp of the Dayue people outside, and her heart was still a little weak, there was nothing she had personally experienced, even if her own father-in-law was full of confidence, she also believed in her father-in-law unreservedly, but after all, she was a little apprehensive.
"I'll tell you two stories" Lin Xiaohong walked side by side with her, inspecting the various machine gun positions that had just been put in place at the head of the city, and a few soldiers carrying ammunition boxes saw them coming, and immediately stopped in place, waiting for them to walk over.
"Spaniards, you should know, it is those red-haired ghosts who were driven out of the Ming coast by Qian Wuxi, although on the side of the Ming Dynasty, they made a fuss, but it is undeniable that in this era, the Kingdom of Spain is a powerful empire comparable to the Ming Dynasty, in this kingdom, their army is mainly of two kinds, one is the regular army of the kingdom, that is, the officers and soldiers of the Ming court here, and the other is the mercenary, well, for example, It seems to be those Fanguo samurai who served for the Ming Dynasty recruited by the Overseas Suppression Division of Qian Wuzhi" Lin Xiaohong's voice is a little crisp, her steps are a little light, in this city that should be full of solemn and nervous head, she looks as if she is walking in her own courtyard, where she passed, some soldiers who were slightly nervous in the face of the big battle, seeing her appearance, couldn't help but be a little infected, and their hearts were somewhat relaxed.
"There was a man named Francisco Pizarro, who used to be a minor officer among the officers and soldiers of the Kingdom of Spain, and because of his exploits, he received a lot of rewards, and he had his own estate, and his subordinates, and his life could be said to be very nourishing, but suddenly one day, he heard that in the west of their kingdom, he found a land on which the people of their kingdom had not set foot again, and in that land, there was wealth that made him blush, so he was moved and recruited some village warriors, or mercenaries, I decided to get permission from the government and go to that land to find an opportunity to make a fortune."
"Actually, the land that the Spaniards discovered was not just a large piece of land, it was the territory of a huge empire, this empire, called the Inca Empire, in this empire, their people were at least six million, this is still a rough estimate, only a little, and this Mr.
Pizarro, the mercenary men he brought with him, a total of one hundred and sixty-nine people, maybe a little more when they set off, but when they set foot on the land of the Inca Empire, there were only one hundred and sixty-nine people left."
"Do you know what happened to the last one hundred and sixty-nine people," Lin Xiaohong asked with a smile.
"All died in that empire, right" Cao Yunniang gave her own answer as a matter of course, does this still need to be asked "No, they captured the emperor of this empire and destroyed this empire" Lin Xiaohong pointed to the outside of the city wall, "I dare to guarantee that when this Pizarro faced the dense Inca army, he would probably have the same idea as you now, that is, can we withstand it?"
Ah Cao Yunniang's eyes widened, her eyes full of disbelief.
"In fact, they withstood it, not only withstood it, in the battle to capture the Inca Emperor, they slaughtered more than 7,000 Inca soldiers, and they themselves did not suffer any casualties, if it were not for the fact that in the end, because of the darkness, his soldiers were tired and hungry, they really couldn't kill, this number, even more" "How did they do it, is there someone like you who is helping him" Cao Yunniang felt as if she understood something, well, it must be this reason.
"No, no, no, this has nothing to do with us, and there are no outsiders to help Pizarro, he will only win, and achieve such a great result, it is nothing more than his opponent, a group of ordinary soldiers with large swords and spears, and his mercenaries are all equipped with the most advanced firearms in their kingdom, as well as enough ammunition to consume" "Such a sharp firearm" Cao Yunniang looked at the machine gun positions that had been completely erected on the head of the city with some uncertainty: "It's much sharper than our firearms."
"You're wrong again" Lin Xiaohong laughed, and the laughter echoed in the city like a silver bell: "Actually, their firearms are inferior to the firearms of the soldiers in the palace, not to mention the firearms we have placed on the city right now, and I can guarantee that when the army of the Inca Empire charges towards their small mercenary army, they definitely don't have such a strong and tall wall that we can defend now."
Cao Yunniang was a little incredulous, she even suspected that Lin Xiaohong would speak so loudly in order to stabilize the morale of the army.
"Don't worry, even a red-haired ghost like Pizarro, even his less than 200 people, even his firearms that don't even deserve to carry our shoes, can resist the slaughter of so many enemies, I don't think, in the face of these Dayue people outside, the people in our Qingfeng Camp will be much worse than his rabble," Lin Xiaohong said with certainty.
Cao Yunniang nodded silently, feeling a lot more down-to-earth.
"By the way, there is one of the two stories you said" After walking a distance, she suddenly remembered the two stories that Lin Xiaohong seemed to be telling just now, so she continued to ask.
"Another story, much more tragic, but it's similar to the Pizarro massacre of the Inca Empire army, but the background of this story has changed, a hundred years ago, in the world where I and Wushuang were, there was a war in which almost all the big countries in the world participated, and there was a battle called the Battle of the Somme, the protagonist of this battle is the firearms we are now placing on the city, and it is almost a battle that is almost famous for this firearm, at that time, Combat is often a charge by soldiers on one side of the attack, then crossing the middle ground between the two trenches to reach the enemy trench and destroy the enemy in hand-to-hand combat.
Isn't it a bit like the soldiers in our house are equipped with firearms to shoot those enemies who try to get close?"
"However, the soldiers in the course of the charge seemed to be easily shot by this firearm at the time.
In fact, if you shoot at the charging soldier from the front, it will have little effect.
Therefore, the warring side has created a tactic, which is to arrange the firearms first, and then the enemy does not shoot immediately when he attacks, just like the firearms we have arranged now.
When waiting until the enemy enters the lethal zone, that is, the shooter's flank and crossfire range, fire is fired.
With such firepower covered, the charging enemy is often unable to escape the crossfire of these firearms and is completely destroyed. ” Lin Xiaohong showed a look of yearning on her face: "In that battle, the defending side used a lot of this kind of firearms, and the attacking side, just one day, just the first day, suffered more than 20,000 casualties, for those soldiers who charged, charging on that day was synonymous with suicide" Cao Yunniang's face became a little complicated, if Lin Xiaohong didn't lie to him, Lin Xiaohong had no reason to lie to her, then, these Dayue people outside the city really didn't seem to have anything to worry about After inspecting half of the city, Lin Xiaohong and Cao Yunniang broke up, as agreed, Cao Yunniang and Lin Xiaohong, each responsible for both sides of the city wall, no one knows whether the Dayue people feint to attack a certain city wall, or plan to enter the palace on all sides at the same time, two separate command systems, more able to command this battle.
Walking back silently, Cao Yunniang was still thinking about the two stories that Lin Xiaohong had just said, and when she stood up for these firearms that were much larger than ordinary firearms, she saw a familiar figure.
"Meng Kang, why are you here" In her impression, Meng Kang should have stayed in Guangping, but she didn't expect to see him in the city.
"Second Lady" Meng Kang was lowering her head, saying something to the shooter in the shooting position, and when she saw Cao Yunniang walking to her side, she immediately stood up.
"What did the master give you in the morning, he said that I should command the rest of the men, but he didn't say that he could command you."
"Second Lady" Meng Kang seemed to be a little frightened, he thought that Cao Yunniang was dissatisfied, but, how to shoot these firearms, how far to shoot, the lord said that he shot according to the method taught by Tian Tong, the lord did not seem to have explained, and he had to listen to the military orders of the lady in the city "It's okay, I'll just ask, I don't mean anything else" Cao Yunniang patted him lightly on the shoulder: "You pick up what I can hear and understand" "Oh, that's it" Meng Dare put down his thoughts: "Commander Tian and President Lin inspected, both know the tactics of war, the master is even clearer, he didn't give any instructions to the little ones, just said that the little ones don't care how the other brothers fight, anyway, when the enemy does not get close to the distance of three hundred steps, we are not allowed to fire, and the battle method of Commander Tian is, even if the enemy rushes in front of us, our firearms are not allowed to hit the people in front, only the people on both sides, I am telling the brothers, Lest they be nervous for a while and waste bullets in the way they are used to, then they will be punished by the master, the master said, as soon as our firearms sound, that is, a few taels of silver will go out like this, who dares not to listen to the orders of the lord and the commander of Tian is such a loser, I have to repair him well."
"Heh, it seems that you are a thrifty character" Cao Yunniang, she didn't expect that at this time, Meng Dare was actually thinking about this matter.
"Hehe" Meng dared to laugh, as if he had been praised by his wife, and he was a little embarrassed.
"Yes, fight well, these firearms have destroyed a country, I hope you don't insult them" Cao Yunniang encouraged, and Meng dared to agree solemnly.
Cao Yunniang also wanted to ask about the specific situation of these firearms, but Meng Kang, who was facing him and the city wall, turned slightly pale: "Second lady, there seems to be movement among the people of Dayue."
Cao Yunniang raised her head, the flags in the distance were spreading, the simple camp that the Dayue people had set up overnight slowly opened, and pairs of Dayue soldiers and horses ran out of the camp and began to line up outside the camp.
"It's about to start" Cao Yunniang muttered to herself, and a few words popped out of her small mouth: "Set up the flag and prepare for war" The soldiers of the Qingfeng Battalion who had been resting on the city wall, with Cao Yunniang's handsome flag, got up from the ground one by one, picked up their weapons, and stood on the city wall.
Last night's defense, the Tiger Battalion prepared a lot of oil pots, lime, stones and other siege equipment, except for those that hindered the establishment of machine gun positions that were removed, most of them were at the head of the city, and the soldiers of the Qingfeng Battalion entered the battle position one by one, and these siege equipment stacked at the head of the city were a little in the way.
Cao Yunniang looked at these things coldly, and regretted that she didn't dispose of these things in time, and after a little hesitation, she ordered the soldiers to throw these things in the way of the city and told him that before the war, if he could show the enemy weakness, it would be the best.
The key to defending the city this time is not in the fighting of the soldiers in the Qingfeng Battalion, but in the firearms, before hearing those two stories, she still has some complaints about this approach in her heart, but now, he decided to believe in his father-in-law and Lin Xiaohong without reservation.
So, the Dayue people who were still gathering in the distance saw the scene that stunned them one by one, and the defenders at the head of the city began to look at the city in a panic when none of the Dayue people approached the city wall, and they began to look at the sharp weapons that should be used for their defense under the city, and bursts of laughter spread among the Dayue army, and then gradually converged, becoming the loudest voice under the city of Beiguang this morning.
"Sons, the Ming people are as timid as mice, in this battle, I will win the battle," an officer rode a horse, running and shouting in front of the three arrays that were gradually taking shape.
The resounding cry of "victory, victory" echoed in the air, and the morale of the Dayue people climbed to the top almost in an instant.
In the restlessness of the soldiers, the officer on the "attacking" horse drew his saber and pointed at the not very majestic city in the distance, and three huge arrays slowly rushed towards the city. aa2705221 t1706231537:
