Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 63 The King of Jin’s Battle to Kill the Thieves ([-])

Wu Sangui had no intention of fighting Li Dingguo, so he immediately led his most trusted soldiers and horses out of the city through the city gate in the other direction of the city collapse.In the city, he left a few original Ming army surrendered generals to lead the troops, and he only hoped to delay the restoration army for a while longer.

Seeing that the city had collapsed, Li Dingguo didn't have anything to be polite about. Although he originally planned to surround Kunming for a while, it would be better if he could wait for reinforcements from the Qing army, and then come to a siege point to help.It's just that the artillery under his command is also a bit too powerful. They shelled Kunming City every day. The city wall, which was not so strong and tall, was bombarded by the Ming army for a period of time, and it was too late to repair it, so it naturally collapsed.

"Get on the chariot." Li Dingguo said calmly.

Li Dingguo's so-called chariots are of course not the infantry chariots and tanks of later generations, but to some extent they are similar.This kind of chariot is a carriage drawn by two horses. It is of course different from the chariot soldiers of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods. The main attack weapon on the Li-style chariot is the M2 Browning heavy machine gun left by Bai Mingxiu.

Li Dingguo was thinking over and over again how to use this heaven-defying weapon to play a better role. In the eyes of this thinking general, the range of the M2 is comparable to that of artillery, hundreds of meters away, and the rate of fire is extremely high. It can suppress a group of enemies, and can well form a vacuum of enemies in front, thereby covering the attack of one's own infantry.So if this weapon can be endowed with better mobility so that it can move forward with the troops, then it will be perfect.

It was with this idea that Li Dingguo asked people to put the M2 on the carriage.Not only that, he also ordered people to make a shield on the carriage to protect the machine gunner and the driver, and cover the eyes and ears of the horses to avoid being frightened.Even if the enemy kills the horse, just change the horse again.

That's it, Li Dingguo created the current "machine gun carriage" in a whimsical way.

Bai Mingxiu left all the M2 Browning heavy machine guns to Li Dingguo, and Li Dingguo turned them into machine gun carriages.

As soon as the city of Kunming collapsed, Li Dingguo ordered a large group of troops to protect the machine gun carriage and move forward.

"Guns pointing upwards, shoot me those Qing troops on the city wall!"

Under such circumstances, there were still Qing troops holding blunderbuss or bows and arrows on the city wall to resist stubbornly. In order to clear a way for the infantry to attack the city, machine gun chariots took on the task of suppressing firepower.

A large number of bullets were shot into the city, and the Qing army in Kunming City had never seen such powerful firepower.A large group of Qing soldiers hid behind the parapet in great horror, some even wept bitterly in fright.

"What kind of ghost fire blunderbuss is this? It can fire continuously? It can shoot so far, and you will be shot to death as soon as you get your head up." The Qing army on the wall was terrified.

"The Ming army is powerful, let's withdraw quickly."

The Qing army guarding the wall had no intention of fighting. These days, the Ming army bombarded them into panic.And at this time their officers all began to take the lead in fleeing, and the other soldiers had no intention of continuing to fight on the city wall.

Following the slope formed by the collapse of the city wall, soldiers of the Ming army climbed onto the city wall with little resistance.

"Occupying the city wall means occupying the commanding heights. Lift the heavy machine gun on the carriage to the city and set up a firepower point!" The officer leading the troops is also a sensible person. Obviously, a large number of system mercenaries from Bai Mingxiu in the National Restoration Army lead well this army.During the battle, these officers were able to make correct decisions, and implement Shangfeng's instructions well, and cooperate with the soldiers who had been trained quite effectively, so that the Great Ming Fuguo Army could have such outstanding combat power.

The Ming army who entered the city from the city wall quickly opened the city gate, and a larger number of Ming troops began to pour into the city.

At this time, the reinforcements in the Qing army city also came up.

"Take back the city wall and drive the Ming army out!" General Wang Pingfan, one of Wu Sangui's subordinates, led hundreds of Wu soldiers to kill, trying to take back the city wall.

But the machine guns that had been erected on the city wall, like machine gun bunkers, let out deadly flames downward, and all the soldiers of the Wu army who charged up were beaten into piles of rotten meat.

"What kind of magic is this?" Wang Pingfan turned pale with shock. He had not accompanied Wu Sangui to Burma before, and naturally he had never seen the effect of a heavy machine gun. Even among those who fled from Burma, most of them didn't know much about it. What the hell is a heavy machine gun.

Because basically those who saw the heavy machine guns tearing the human body to shreds were also shredded themselves.

The destructive power of large-caliber heavy machine guns on the human body is completely different from that of ordinary weapons that people have reduced.That is purely violently beating the entire human body into rotten flesh. Even Wang Pingfan, who has been in the field for a long time, is afraid.The courage of generals is often slackened when faced with the unknown.Not to mention that no one can get close to the Ming army assembled in the city. As long as they get close, they will be beaten to pieces by heavy machine guns.

"Quick retreat, quick retreat!" Wang Pingfan didn't even care about continuing to recapture the city wall at this time, and hurriedly retreated with his subordinates.But the gate of the city has already been opened, and the cavalry of the Ming army who rushed in from outside the city have also arrived.

Holding the three-eyed blunderbuss, which had no status in the Fuguo Army, the cavalry rushed forward, fired a shot at the Qing army at close range, and then drew out their sabers and began to hack and kill these enemies.

The soldiers of the Wu army were not these Ming cavalry even in normal times, let alone when they were defeated.

The soldiers of the Wu army who were supposed to storm the enemy army in the city began to flee in front of the cavalry of the Ming army.

Sure enough, the Ming army began to shout the classic slogan of that round again: "Surrender, don't kill! Surrender, don't kill!"

This was like a curse, causing Wu Jun, who was still fighting in the corner of the city, to throw away his weapon, kneel down and hold his head.As expected, the Ming army reaffirmed their promise and did not chase them down. The infantry behind them came up, confiscated the weapons of these Wu soldiers, gathered them together, tied them with a big rope, and dragged them aside for disposal.

Li Dingguo outside the city didn't worry too much about the battle to seize the city, and soon he heard the rewards.

"Prince Jin, Wu Sangui has left the city to break through."

Li Dingguo nodded slightly: "Sure enough, as expected, Wu Sangui had already considered defeat before the battle, but it was not so easy for him to run away. Pass my military order, and the cavalry outside the city will follow me to pursue Wu Sangui. Man Qing must not be allowed to enter the pass. The chief culprit escaped from Yunnan in this way, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince told me repeatedly before leaving that Wu Sangui must die, and also asked me to kill him with my own hands, the Prince's order, this commander will follow!"
