Chapter 388 Cannon Fodder Bombing Koryo
The Qing army launched two attacks, killing and wounding more than 7,000 people, while the Ming army had no casualties. It can be said that this was not a battle, but a one-sided massacre.
But Junta did not feel heartbroken at all. The ones who died were either Han or Koreans. His two thousand Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners had not moved yet, so they were naturally intact. He was indifferent to how many Han and Koreans died. In his eyes, the hundreds of thousands of Green Camp soldiers and more than 100,000 Korean soldiers were all wastes and were wasted food and wages.
Those who can really fight have to rely on these Siberian tigers that come out of the white mountains and black waters. The Eight Banners of Manchuria are tigers in the jungle, while the Mongols are wolf on the grassland.
But what about the Han people? In the eyes of Qunta, the Han people are cattle and sheep, and they just need to be slaves to work. War is not the business of them. As for the Korean sticks, they are not even cattle and sheep, they are just flies and mosquitoes. They have no other skills except buzzing all day long. They are not as good as the Han people. The Han people can also farm to support the bannermen.
Apart from the navy, the Koreans had some use, but nothing else was useless. However, even the Korean navy that the Qing Dynasty relied on was defeated by Mingdo from the south, and it was simply useless.
"This Luo Yangxing is also a waste! So many dogs have died, and they haven't even climbed up the city that can be climbed up so simply. Why does the court raise such a waste?" Junta snorted.
A Goshha beside him said, "Sir, Luo Yang's nature is indeed a waste. But if those Han dogs were not used as meat shields in front of him, would it be our Eight Banners soldiers? After all, there are too few Eight Banners soldiers."
Junta nodded: "You are right, go and call Luo Yangxing over to me!"
"Zhe!" Goshha knelt on the ground and beat him up, and retreated.
After a while, Luo Yangxing came to the quasi-tower tower and knelt on the ground and beat him: "General, the slave is here, I wonder what the general has to give?"
Junta said: "Those Goryeo sticks are all wastes. Let's do this. I will command all the Koreans. You must drive them to the platform! Don't be afraid of death! It doesn't matter how many Goryeo sticks die. If they die, they won't need the court's pension! Also, tell those Goryeo sticks that as long as they are the first to rush to the platform, they will be rewarded with ten taels of silver!"
"Zhe!" Luo Yangxing beat him up and retreated happily.
About a quarter of an hour later, the Qing army launched another attack.
Zhao Peng, standing on the high platform, watched the war drums rumble in the Qing army formation and the horns roaring. Then, teams of people wearing red mandarin duck battle jackets and round black hats rushed over in groups.
Zhao Peng sneered and said in his heart: It was Goryeo's Karma who came up. It seems that the thousand-year-old Karma slave is a Karma slave! Whether it is us, the Mongols, Manchus, or later Japanese and Americans, they have never regarded Karma as human beings. For example, in the later War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, Karma was not considered a human being and would not count the casualties of the United Nations military.
But since the cannon fodder has come up, please greet them. What's more, Zhao Peng knew that these sticks were all sticks recruited by the Qing Dynasty from the south of the Han River, which is the ancestor of Nan Bangzi in later generations.
Zhao Peng had no pressure to kill these Nan Bangzi.
"Fire the cannon!" Zhao Peng gave the order.
"Boom boom boom" Twenty twelve-pound field guns made a deafening roar. The whistling shells flew out of the muzzle at high speed at super high speed and smashed them into the formation of the Goryeo stick. The gunners who fired the shells immediately used wet mops to clean the barrel, and then wiped the barrel clean with dry mops, and then prepared to load ammunition.
After flying for 500 steps, the shells landed accurately in the formation of the Korean soldiers, and immediately pulled out crooked flesh-and-blooded alleys from their crowds. The rolling and bouncing shells advanced forward with bloody and rainy flesh, and there was a bloody storm wherever they passed.
But no North Koreans dared to retreat. The North Koreans, who were killed or injured, gritted their teeth and rushed forward desperately with their heads down.
On the Ming army's position, the gunners had already loaded a fixed-loading package, then pushed a wooden board into the barrel, then loaded the shotgun wrapped in paper into the barrel, and then pushed the gun to reset. After the reset, they stabbed the fire door with an awl, pierced the package and inserted the medicine twist. Just as the twelve-pound field gun began to load, the six-pound field gun also completed the first round of launch.
The six-pound field gun made a series of roars. After firing the shells, the gunners immediately cleared the barrel and loaded the ammunition. Because the six-pound field gun was loading fast, the gunners still loaded solid shells this time.
When the Qing Korean soldiers rushed from 500 steps to within 300 steps, the six-pound cannon could already open fire, so Zhao Peng ordered the six-pound cannon to fire another round of solid shells without hesitation.
"Boom boom boom" sixty six-pound guns fired in a salvo, and then the gunners cleared the barrel again and began to load shotguns.
From 500 steps to 300 steps, the North Koreans were shot head-on by three-way shelling, with heavy casualties.
"Bang bang bang" The gunshots of scattered soldiers fired again on the Ming army's positions, and sporadic gunshots rang out. The target of the shooting was not the Korean cannon fodder in front of the Qing army formation, but the Green Camp officers who were pressing behind the Korean cannon fodder.
Every gunshot sounded, a Green Camp officer with a fang-shaped claws spewed blood mist from his head and fell down.
Next, the Koreans rushed from 300 steps to 200 steps, but were not blocked by any firepower from the Ming army. Within 200 steps, they only heard a row of dull guns. Balls of smoke rose from behind the Ming army's position, and fireballs flew to the highest point, and then fell towards the Korean formation like a meteor of fire.
After these fireballs fell to the ground, they exploded immediately, and the dazzling flames flashed. The Koreans around the explosion site were blown over. The Koreans around the shells were blown away, and the unlucky people who were directly hit by the shells turned into blood and minced flesh in the moment they were hit by the shells. Then the shells exploded, and several Korean soldiers next to them were also blown to pieces.
The 24-pound mortar cannon was fired. The gunners who fired the shells quickly used wet mops to clean the barrel, then wiped the remaining moisture in the barrel with a dry mops, then picked up a slender fixed charge pack, held the fixed charge pack in his hand, stuffed it directly from the muzzle, stuffed the fixed charge pack into the medicine room of the mortar cannon, and then picked up a flowering fire shell. The fuze tube was facing the outside and the other end was facing the inside. The shell was placed into the barrel, and the fuze tube could be seen from the muzzle.
The loading of the mortar cannon is very fast, and it has been loaded in just over a dozen seconds. Because the muzzle of the mortar cannon is thick and short, the steps of using the push-bolt rod to send the fixed charge package and the shell can be omitted, and the steps of putting it in the wooden board can also be saved. Just put your hand in directly, and the fixed charge package cannon cannon be stuffed in, then pick up the shell and put it into the muzzle, and then pierce the medicine bag from the fire door behind, insert the medicine twist, and the mortar cannon is loaded. The loading speed is more than ten times faster than the twelve-pound field cannon, which is simply reaching the loading speed of the flintlock rifle.
The loaded mortar cannon fired again, and the Qing army had already rushed into one hundred and fifty steps.
While the twenty-four-pound mortar was fired, the twelve-pound howitzer also opened fire, one high and one low two shells, pulling out different ballistic curves and smashing towards the Korean formation.
The shells of the mortars are aimed at the North Koreans' formation a little behind, while the howitzer shells are aimed at the front of the North Koreans.
