When the gunfire was loud, Li Xiao was standing in the thatched cottage holding a telescope to watch the artillery fire in the distance. It was very dark today, and he could not see anything except the orange explosion fire.

"Commander...!" Sun Xing hurriedly ran in. Seeing Li Xiao's calm look, he hurriedly tidied up his military appearance. Li Xiao took this kind of thing very seriously!

"The Yang family finally couldn't bear it anymore!" Li Xiao looked back.

"Yes!" Sun Xing nodded.

"Send a signal flare and let Li Dingguo land in Guangzhou City. All the people are attracted to Baiyun Mountain. I believe there are no defenders in Guangzhou City. This can ensure that the people of Guangzhou City suffer the least amount of war." Guangzhou is a famous historical city, with Guangxiao Temple and Liurong Temple.

, Huaisheng Temple, some of these temples are left over from the Three Kingdoms era, and some were mentioned by the emperor. Especially the Nanhai Temple is the only one that has been preserved among the four ancient sea temples in the east, west, north, and south.

The power of modern weapons was too great, and it was difficult to choose between the casualties of the siege troops and the protective weapons. So Li Xiao agreed to live in Baiyun Mountain, which is twenty-eight miles away from Guangzhou City. Although there are many people living here, but compared with

The densely populated city of Guangzhou is much better. Li Xiao doesn’t want to see people’s corpses scattered everywhere tomorrow morning!

"The Yang family is led by the barbarian wolf soldiers, and there are about 50,000 to 60,000 people. Including the local warriors recruited, I am afraid there are 100,000 people. Commander, are you here...!"

"One hundred thousand people, I'm afraid it's more than that. The Yang family has been running Guangdong and Guangxi for so many years, how can it be possible that they only have this little wealth? Give him some time and let him gather all the people. This will save us having to go into the ravine to clean up! If we really let them

Running into the mountains of Guangxi is quite busy." Li Xiao had a headache when he thought of suppressing bandits in the mountains.

Those guys live in the mountains all year round and are very adaptable to mountain life. And as locals, they are very familiar with the geographical environment. It is indeed very difficult to fight them.

When he was in Shandong, Li Xiao simply left this kind of matter to Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming. Now these two brothers have become experts in suppressing bandits in the Ming Dynasty. As long as there are bandits, this job belongs to them.

"Uh...!" Sun Xing hesitated to speak.

"Say!" Li Xiao looked back with some dissatisfaction, wondering if there was anything he couldn't say at this time.

"There is news from the front line that the rebels have a large number of rifles. They are all... standard big eight. This kind of thing is only available in Jinzhou and Jinan arsenals. They are selling arms privately...!" Sun Xing was a little hesitant.

, after all, the boss who controls the Ming Dynasty’s ordnance department is Zheng Sen.

"Do you think that without my approval, someone would dare to sell guns casually? One sale would cost more than 10,000 guns!" Li Xiao smiled and sat down on the chair.

"The notes you approved...more than 10,000...!" Sun Xing swallowed hard.

"Not only did I give him a gun, I also gave him ammunition. If I don't give him some weapons, how can he have the confidence to resist the court and assassinate me, the commander-in-chief?" Li Xiao glanced at the fireworks rising in the sky in the distance with a joking look on his face.

smile.

Sun Xing couldn't figure out why he gave people weapons when he knew they were going to rebel.

"A few years ago, our Liao army actually only controlled the north of the Yangtze River. It is even said that it did not even fully control the north of the Ming Dynasty. Only Liaodong, Shandong, Hebei, Shanxi, Shaanxi and other provinces can really listen to me.

.

Liaodong is where I started, Shandong and Hebei are where I emerged. The remaining Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan, and Huainan were all reduced to ruins. There was no way, although I crossed the Yangtze River. I just wanted to consolidate it.

, as a result, there was trouble again in Mongolia in the northwest. Under such difficult circumstances, I still left the division with the best combat effectiveness in the south of the Yangtze River to ensure that the land in the south of the Yangtze River was restructured.

Five years have passed! The land reform in Jiangnan has finally been successful. Those Jiangnan plutocrats no longer have any resistance. The foundation of the Donglin Party is no longer there, and it will only be a matter of time before the trees fall and the hozens are scattered.

Now after five years of construction across the country, the Mongols in the northwest have also been defeated. We have just breathed a sigh of relief! Now, it is time to truly unify the country and remove the last cancer on the body of the Ming Dynasty!" The light of fireworks lit up Li's eyes.

There was a flash on Xiao Xiao's face. Nowadays, the art of making fireworks is getting better and better, and it is getting closer and closer to flares. Originally, this thing was tinkered by Li Xiao as a substitute for flares.

"Commander, isn't it a little bit...!"

"The Yang family has been operating in Guangdong and Guangxi for many years. During the Chongzhen period, he was the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi. The two Guangdong and Guangxi belonged to the imperial court in name, but in fact they belonged to the Yang family. They were secretly colluding with Wu Sangui. He was not willing to put himself at risk!

Now the main force of the Yang family is near Guangzhou, use me as bait to attract them. Then Li Dingguo and Nie Dahu will surround them and annihilate them!"

Sun Xing's scalp went numb after hearing this. He didn't expect that Li Xiao's plan was so thorough, but he, the adjutant beside him, knew nothing about it. First, he deliberately sold arms to the Yang family to embolden them. Then he angered Yang He and forced him to

Lead the Yang family to rebel.

When did he start planning this matter? How did he contact and implement it? The confidentiality was kept tight. Even people around him were kept in the dark!

Li Dingguo's subordinate was a Marine Division that had only been established a few years ago. Relying on Li Xiu's power, he had obtained a lot of good equipment. However, he lacked actual combat experience and had basically not fought many battles in recent years. When he fought against the British in Australia,

He lost some manpower and his reputation in the military was not very high.

But Nie Dahu’s First Division and Brigade are different. This unit was expanded from the First Division and Regiment. It is the real old base unit of the Liao Army! They enjoy the best treatment of the Liao Army and use the best military equipment of the Liao Army.

Weapons. And rich combat experience, truly fighting from the south to the north. The results against the Rakshasa people and the Mongols are obvious to all.

It can be said that the First Division has never lost a battle. It has maintained a record of complete victory against any enemy at home and abroad. The First Brigade is a direct descendant of the direct line, equipped with fierce firepower, the personnel have high combat quality, and the combat capability is comparable to that of a field division.

Bringing in this army, not to mention 100,000 people, even 300,000 people would not be enough to feed a spoonful of soup. This time, the Yang family has no way of survival.

The sound of artillery in front was rumbling, which was the sound of 120mm howitzers. The sound of Maxim machine guns was indistinguishable, and the sound was like wind. The sound of rifles was broken under the suppression of these sounds, and occasionally it could be heard.

I heard a few sounds, but they were too few.

Yang Zhongwu's heart was bleeding. The wolf soldiers he had carefully trained would be torn into pieces by cannonballs as long as they rushed out.

The flares in the sky kept rising and falling, falling and rising again. The sky and the earth were illuminated white, and the troops had nowhere to hide under these flares. There were even rumbles of airships flying past in the sky. As long as they saw someone somewhere,

Assemble, tracer bullets will be fired towards that place. Immediately afterwards, 120mm howitzer shells will fall down.

A 120mm artillery shell can create a large crater of ten meters in one shot. An area as large as half a football field is the killing range. The shrapnel forms a wall, and anyone who is hit by this wall will be hit.

turned into pieces.

What's even more frightening is the impact. When a shell falls, even if you quickly lie on the ground to avoid the shrapnel, you can't escape the shock wave of the explosion. The thing is driven against the ground, shaking people's heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys alive.

It was a mess. Many soldiers had no wounds on their bodies, but they were lying motionless on the ground with bleeding from their orifices.

Under the attack of howitzers, the troops could not assemble effectively at all. They could only charge towards the Marines in a scattered manner, and the skirmish line was wide open, so they could not take advantage of their numerical advantage. When they advanced more than a thousand meters to the front, they launched an extremely precise mortar attack.

The shells fell.

No matter how good you lay down, the mortar shells still fell from the top of your head and hit your soul. It almost took one shell to kill a person. The mortar shelling forced these wolf soldiers to move towards the middle road.

Gather.

It has to be said that the wolf soldiers were quite ruthless. After the battle reached this point, they still did not collapse. A small number of people who ran back were swallowed up by the smoke of the artillery shells. Most of the remaining people were still

Attacking in every possible way.

Li Zhongwu didn't know that the mortar shells were deliberately pushing people onto the road. But he had no choice. Now he couldn't help people withdraw, and he couldn't send reinforcements.

When the road and both sides of the road were filled with people, Li Zhongwu heard a creepy sound.

The bullets from the Maxim machine gun fell from the sky like raindrops. No matter how hard he lay down, it would not help. When he was at the Army Officer School, he learned that when the Maxim machine gun's muzzle is fired upward, the bullets will kill the enemy in a parabola. Even if

Even if you lie down on the ground, it won't help!

This almost incomprehensible attack method made it impossible for the wolf soldier to launch an attack. He fired at the opponent with a big eight pill, but the bullet could not touch the opponent's side at all. Maxim fired twelve point seven

mm bullets, the range is definitely not comparable to that of the large eight-grain 7.62mm bullets.

The enemy infantry only held their guns, and no one fired. Because no matter how the wolf soldiers charged, they would fall 800 meters away. The rifles in their hands were basically useless, and occasionally two fierce charges

Within 800 meters, before I could take a breath, I was attacked by a grenade.

This is a device carried by infantrymen, and its explosive power is close to that of a grenade. It can be fired up to a distance of one thousand meters. When used by Liao soldiers, the attack distance is usually between 300 meters and 800 meters.

Although this thing is not very powerful, its accuracy is astonishing. The projectiles falling from the sky use instant fuzes. Sometimes they happen to hit the wolf soldier, and can blow the wolf soldier's body into two pieces.

It intercepts and then flies into the air.

Howitzers killed a group of people, mortars killed a group of people, and the overwhelming fire from Maxim machine guns killed a group of people. The rest managed to get within 800 meters, but they were still blown up by grenade launchers.

die.

This kind of attack is not a battle, but a one-sided massacre.

With their advanced equipment, the Marines continue to kill and injure the elite wolf soldiers. Few people can rush to the shooting distance of the infantry. As long as they rush to this distance, the bullets will swarm in like returning wasps. There will always be a shot to greet them.

When it hits you, the hot bullet cuts through your body muscles with powerful kinetic energy. It carries your flesh, blood and bone fragments with it, and rushes out of your body from the other direction.

Yang Zhongwu thought that the battle would be cruel and that many people would die. But he did not expect that it would be so cruel and that so many people would die. Moreover, all of them would be casualties on his own side. The other side would have almost no casualties.

It's still night, and if it's daytime and the 380mm naval gun on the battleship fires, the result is simply unimaginable. The power of the 120mm shells and the power of the 380mm shells are not simple.

It's as simple as expanding it three times.

A 380mm artillery shell exploded, and even the 20-meter-thick Guangzhou city wall couldn't withstand it, leaving a big hole. Let alone human flesh and blood!

As a last resort, Yang Zhongwu withdrew the remaining wolf soldiers and hid outside the range of the howitzers to supervise the battle team. Now those who rushed forward were the local braves who came from the surrounding areas of Guangzhou.

These people held old-fashioned firecrackers in their hands, and screamed "Ouch" and "Ouch" stimulated by a few slogans and generous rewards. They braved the artillery fire and advanced, laughing in their hearts that those who died were unlucky ones. They were blessed.

How could Qi Tian be killed by a mere cannonball?

Unlucky guys kept dying on the way to the charge. Their courage, aroused by the rich rewards in their hearts, was frightened by the scenes of gunpowder smoke and flying flesh. They ran back at several times the speed of the charge!

The bullets swept down people one by one, as if they were cutting wheat.

After finally escaping back to his own position, he found those wolf soldiers with guns raised. They were not shooting at the enemy troops, but at the country warriors who had fled back despite the enemy's fire.

The volley rifles kept crackling, and only then did they realize the power of the big eight-pellet rifle. They couldn't help but give themselves some confidence, the bullets could still kill people after all.

People were like firewood stuffed into a stove pit. They were burned to the point of leaving no bones in less than a moment. Five thousand people charged as a unit, and all of them died in less than half an hour. Then another five thousand people were killed.

They were deceived, promising rich rewards that they had never dared to imagine before. Then they rushed to the battlefield with enthusiasm, and were either killed by the Marines' artillery fire, or they escaped and were killed by the wolf soldiers enforcing military law.

After a whole night of beatings, Yang Zhongwu had already filled in more than 30,000 people. At this time, his eyes were red, and the anger emanating from his body made people afraid to look directly.

However, local braves were still being called over. These people held primitive firecrackers, and some even held broadswords and spears. When the sky was dimming, Yang Zhongwu suddenly invested 10,000 people in the charge.
Chapter completed!
