Chapter 221 Truck Attack(1/2)
Three hundred meters away from the Huangtaiji General Camp, the shock wave began to attenuate and the speed of sound began to be transmitted.
The earth-shattering sound of thunder wiped a mile around Huangtaiji's general camp to the ground. The sound of the explosion spread to the west camp, and there was still a slight sound.
As a result, the Manchu general camp, the sergeants, and the soldiers in the four-mile radius were all attracted by the red light rising into the sky, and then heard the explosion.
The flames and smoke from the explosion formed a small mushroom cloud that could be clearly seen for dozens of miles around.
Time seems to have stood still.
Watching the explosion and falling, the soldiers who witnessed the flames shooting into the sky during the rescue process screamed crazily, or were completely stunned.
The horses in the stables that were in chaos were all frightened and could not be comforted. The Niulus reacted quickly and drove their subordinates to run towards the main camp with full potential, hoping to rescue them as soon as possible and figure out the situation.
The Manchu and Qing camp on the north side heard the sound more than ten seconds later. They looked towards the main camp and saw the flames rising into the sky. The clear explosion made them confused.
Dorgon and Shuotuo, who were discussing in the camp, heard the explosion of gunpowder and quickly came out of the camp. They looked at the mushroom cloud rising in the direction of the main camp and touched their beards.
"Prince Rui, the Han army is indeed unreliable. Fortunately, the emperor had the foresight to let them place gunpowder outside the camp."
"It looks like it's over there in the general ledger. Send someone to check out the situation."
Based on the location of the mushroom cloud's roots, Dorgon deduced that it was Huang Taiji's general ledger area, but he wasn't too worried.
The camp on the north side didn't know what happened, and the Manchu and Qing camp on the west side didn't even respond.
After nearly thirty seconds, we heard an explosion from the horizon. Based on the location of the sound, we looked at the mushroom cloud that had already formed over there.
"What is that?"
"Who knows? It seems to be the sound of gunpowder exploding, coming from the Emperor's side."
"The firearms camp over there exploded, wasn't it too powerful? The entire firearms camp exploded?"
"Is your Majesty okay?"
"It should be fine. The firearms battalion's ammunition was pulled to the front line yesterday. It is three or four miles away from the general ledger and cannot be exploded."
Shang Kexi and Kong Youde guessed that there was not much reaction. Compared with the situation on the Huangtaiji side, they were more concerned about the actions of the Royal Army on the opposite side.
After the drone dropped the liquefied gas tank, in order to protect itself, it increased its flight altitude and speed, and then lost its view below.
But Chen Ye and Chongzhen still knew that the liquefied gas had exploded based on the drone video where the sky suddenly turned fiery red.
"Lao Zhu! Turn around quickly, I want to see, I want to see!"
"Shopkeeper, wait for me to control it."
After the drone made a circle, a mushroom cloud appeared in the field of vision. Below the cloud root, there was a huge hollow area in the Manchu and Qing general camp. The camp originally stretched for three or four miles.
Surrounding a circular, still burning huge fire pit were tattered tents and soldiers and horses all over the ground.
Farther away were Manchu soldiers running towards the fire pit, constantly picking up and identifying corpses, as well as frightened horses running around.
Ten overpressured liquefied gas tanks exploded together. The power of 1,000 kilograms of TNT was terrifying.
"It's done! Shopkeeper! It's done!"
"Congratulations, from now on, you don't have any worries.
The Emperor of the Qing Dynasty and a group of nobles who followed him went to the underworld to report, and the Qing Dynasty now has no main leader."
"One more time! One more time! There are still so many soldiers here."
"The effect won't be strong if we do it again. Let's bombard their west camp first, lest the west side receives the news and disperses, causing trouble to the Royal Army."
"What the shop owner said is, this is all money, if they beat me, I will lose a lot of pension if I die.
For the sake of my people, I will first destroy all the slaves in the west side, hahaha!"
Chen Ye was too lazy to complain about Chongzhen. Anyway, his purpose was good, although the starting point was still because of stinging.
Chongzhen excitedly flew the drone over the Manchu and Qing headquarters, flying towards Tashan to replenish the liquefied gas bomb.
At the Manchu and Qing General Camp, after watching the returning drones flying overhead, the Zhenghuangqi, Xianghuangqi, and Zhenghongqi disciples who were hiding in fear breathed a sigh of relief.
"Escort! Escort! Put out the fire quickly!"
"Find the emperor quickly!"
"Ama! Ama! Follow me and save my Ama! My Ama is Gu Shanerzhen."
"Brother! Come find my brother, you bitch slave, get out of my way. My brother is the king of the county."
The Eight Banners, the Little Banners, Ezhen and Jia La are originally composed of tribes with blood ties.
All the senior officials of the Three Banners were wiped out. For the children of the Three Banners, what they lost was the prestigious relatives in their respective clans.
"The Emperor has disappeared. The Emperor has been hit by witchcraft!"
"The Emperor has disappeared and cannot be found!!!!"
"Immortal God! The Ming Dynasty has sorcery! We shouldn't betray the Ming Dynasty!!!"
"Find the emperor quickly! You bunch of losers, and you, the Han slaves, will all die if we don't find the emperor!"
"I can't find it! There are so many minced meats here, which one belongs to the emperor?"
A eunuch rushed to the center of the explosion fifty meters away. Looking at the remains of the burning tent, as well as the large pit and fire in the middle, he knelt down and cried bitterly.
His hand involuntarily grabbed a piece of minced meat, looked at it, and vomited it out.
"The emperor has been found! The emperor has been found!"
A voice came, and the soldiers, Niu Lu, and nobles who had slipped through the net attracted their attention.
"Where is it! Where is the Emperor? Your Majesty, I am late to save you, and I deserve death!"
The highest-ranking leader of the Zhenghong Banner, Saha Lian, was supported by a group of soldiers and ran while shouting to apologize.
But when he ran in front of the eunuch who was yelling crazily, he was stunned.
"Your Majesty! This slave has found the Emperor!"
Looking at the broken helmet in the eunuch's hand and the red and white things stuck on it, Saha's heart twitched and he slowly took the helmet.
The guard behind him drew his knife and chopped the abnormal eunuch to death with one blow.
"The emperor passed away! What celebrities did to the emperor is unforgivable! Follow me to take revenge! Gather your subordinates!"
"The emperor has passed away! The leader of the Saha Sickle Banner has given an order! Gather your subordinates and assemble!"
A group of people regrouped under the guidance of Saha Ma, but Saha Ma, who was just a chicken thief, asked all the sergeants to march in the direction of Dalingbao.
Sun Chuanting, who was in Songshan, heard the explosion and pressed the intercom button.
"Artillery, three bursts!"
"Prepare for test firing!"
The sound of the first round of test-fired artillery attracted Shang Kexi's eyes. He had no control over what was going on behind the scenes, and he had no idea. Now he had to face the same army of firearms.
After most of the artillery shells ended their parabola, they landed not far in front of the formation. One of the artillery shells hit the shield car and broke the blocking wooden board at the front. Sand and gravel flowed to the ground. This shocked Shang Kexi.
.
"Brother, the artillery over there has grown so much. It's the same as the red-haired man's Folang machine cannon. Do they still have Folan machine guns?"
"Silidi, this is the Fo Lang machine gun. Tang Ruowang is still in the capital. Isn't that strange? But aren't they firing explosive shells?
No matter what, let the artillery fire!"
Shang Ke shouted nonchalantly, and as soon as he gave the order, he saw dozens of black spots approaching from the opposite side.
"Oh shit! How come it's so fast?"
"Oh shit! Why is it so far away?"
This time the artillery did not give them a chance to react, and all of it hit the center of the position and the artillery vehicles that they had already rushed to the front line.
High-explosive bombs exploded one after another, followed by the second and third rounds.
After the three bursts of firing were completed, they rested for a few seconds and then fired three bursts again. The Royal Army's artillery temporarily needed to cool down, so it stopped.
Shang Kexi was taken away by artillery fragments in the second round. Kong Youde was pressed by the overturned shield truck, but escaped the fiercest artillery fire.
When the soldiers of the Han army dug him out, Kong Youde looked at the bombed position and felt a little distracted.
One mile behind the artillery position is the Xianglan Banner headquarters in Jilhalang.
He was worried about the situation in the direction of Huangtai Ji because of the artillery explosion. He couldn't stand it anymore when he saw the Han army's artillery position being washed away by shells.
"Your Highness! Even if you wait, you will be bombed. It is better to rush over. The Ming army has no defensive horses. As long as the front is withstood and passed quickly, Ming firearms are not a concern."
"You're right, everyone, Jia La Niulu, is ready to rush over and kill a Ming army flag. You will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver! Charge!"
Under the instigation of the flag master arranged by Huang Taiji, Jierhalang, who was worried that the situation would continue to deteriorate, tightened his leather armor.
Lifting the reins in his hand, he jumped over the artillery position that had no soldiers on the artillery carriage and was only covered with debris. He quickly formed a formation and charged in front of a piece of shattered shield carriage.
At this time, the artillery stopped, and they were not within the range of the muskets. In order to compete for time, they quickly began to accelerate their horses.
In the field of vision, the artillery positions of the Ming Dynasty were gradually being cleaned, and trucks were also seen, with steel plates hung on the fronts and puncture-resistant tires replaced.
After moving out of the artillery position, they formed a row of more than 200 meters and rushed towards their position.
To be continued...
