Are the Eight Banners at the critical moment of life and death?

That's really true.

Historically, the performance of the Eight Banners' children in various internal and external wars in the late Qing Dynasty proved this. Whether it was against the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the Nian Army Revolutionary Army, or against various foreign invading armies, the Eight Banners' children fought bloody battles.

For example, the Battle of Zhenjiang during Yiyao, the Battle of Jinling during the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the Battle of Fuzhou in 1912, and the Battle of Chang'an. The intensity is really great. Although the reasons are different!

But such people are so rare among the huge Eight Banners.

Especially the Eight Banners knew that Zhao Liang did not think about taking them to the barbarians.

Although rumors were popular in the capital for a while, that once Zhao Liang took the lead, he would kill all the Eight Banners.

So the bannermen were called on to stick around, organize, and pick up swords and guns to defend their big green fruit.

As a result, the rumor soon ended.

No one is deaf.

Whether it was the Eight Banners Living Dead who had been in a turmoil back then, or the Changshun and Banners' Masters before, everyone has long been familiar with it, and King Zhao has no intention.

So the court changed its rules and used hard-core crops to call on bannermen to defend the Qing Dynasty.

This is still effective.

Because every bannerman knows that once King Zhao sits in the world, their hardcore crops will definitely not be available again.

Therefore, there are still hundreds of thousands of Eight Banners soldiers in the capital, but there are definitely not many people who are willing to fight for their Qing Dynasty.

These bloody Eight Banners children were divided into two, with infantry holding in Qinggui's hands and cavalry holding in Qinglin's hands.

Qinglin is Qinggui's sixth brother, and both of them are Yin Jishan's sons.

Yin Jishan was a famous minister of the two dynasties of Yongzheng and Qianlong.

Far away, the brigade of Chen army had slowly arrived outside Tongzhou City. The canal ships were docked, and a large number of artillery were pushed out. At the same time, a large number of Chen army soldiers with high morale were disembarked.

Zhao Liang, the rebel group, is now in a high-pitched period, just like the saying goes, and its excitement is also arduous.

Although no one knows whether the Zhao family will "destroy suddenly" in the future, now everyone is concentrating on the great cause of rebellion. No one is careless, no one is not working hard, they are all determined to follow King Zhao to overthrow the Qing Dynasty and become a founding hero.

From bottom to top, everyone was full of morale!

Especially in the Chen army, the Eighth Army, which was a footholder, defeated the more with fewer and defeated the Qing army twice, which injected great confidence into the men led by Chen Yuanyou.

They all looked forward to a big battle and a big victory to break the capital as if they were infuriated.

In this way, they made great achievements.

The morale of the troops was booming, which was very beneficial to Chen Jun.

Because now that firearms are popular, morale is crucial whether it is to queuing or playing hand-to-hand combat.

At this moment, no one at Chen Jun felt that his lack of soldiers was a disadvantage - it was better to have fewer soldiers, and the fewer soldiers, the more credit they would get.

Perhaps from Chen Yuanyou down, everyone sighed, why is King Zhao not here?

If Zhao Liang is in this team now, it will be a complete and perfect battle, and there will be no regrets at all.

Chen Yuanyou looked at the Qing army opposite, both eyes glowing. It was Qiu Zhikuan who snatched the first prize and ate Mingliang's troops in one fell swoop. To be honest, that was indeed the most critical combination in this battle.

Now I am just trying to find a bargain.

However, the credit he found by picking up the bargain has completely crushed Qiu Zhikuan, and there is nothing he can do.

I'm so lucky!

Chen Yuanyou looked at the opposite side, consistent with the situation reported by Xu Jialiang.

Some of the Qing army's troops were arranged in the city, and artillery was also concentrated on the top of the city, while some were outside the city.

Although the arrangement is neatly arranged from the perspective of the situation, the Eighth Army has already tried it out, right?

"Fire the gun, fire!"

Chen Yuanyou issued an order. He fought early and ended early, so he would not be able to enter the capital tonight.

The rumbling sound of cannons resounded throughout Tongzhou.

Although the Qing army on the top of the city was the first to fire, a large number of Chen army artillery were not afraid of the shells flying from the city. After seeing that the artillery positions in front were fully built, they pushed the artillery cart and rushed forward.

Willow baskets filled with loess were piled up in front of the cannon position. They were already protected, right? And even without protection, they dared to have an artillery battle with the Qing soldiers on the city wall.

Look at what kind of cannon is called when the Eight Banners Cannon Armor on the opposite side!?

The shells flew over, and except for the injuries and deaths of several people, they could not touch the hair of Chen Jun's artillery.

The accuracy is not enough, and the firing rate is still slow. With this kind of quality, Chen Jun can't become an artillery soldier at all.

Shield chariots, hunters, mortar squads, and bomb droppers.

The former serves as a cover. Anyway, the Qing army's artillery was too accurate, while the hunters specially hunted the Qing army musketeers who dared to shoot on the opposite side. The latter two are responsible for throwing flowering bullets and grenades onto the heads of the Eight Banners soldiers.

Do you really think that you can block Chen Jun by building a few trenches and digging them? This is a joke.

Zhao Liang tried every means to address the problem of trenches several times, and finally pulled out the ancient thing of the shield cart from the pile of books.

During the Ming and Qing dynasties, the shield chariot was the supreme weapon that the Qing army relied on to approach the Ming army's array and blocked the Ming army's small cannons and bird guns.

He used the slaves in his hand to push the cart, and covered the archers and hand-to-hand combat soldiers behind him. When he approached the Ming army's formation a little bit, the Qing army's archers could easily defeat the musketeers on the opposite side with their bows and arrows, and then the armed hand-to-hand combat troops rushed forward, easily handling the Ming army.

Who said that the Ming army, who is so terrible, is mostly firearms?

The Ming army's own musketeers dared not fill in gunpowder according to the standards.

There is a large gap between the barrel and the bullet. The power of this firearm is a bit exaggerated, but it is absolutely nothing wrong to say that it is weakened halfway.

Now Zhao Liang took out the shield cart to resist the Qing army's muskets and artillery.

Although there is inevitably casualties, it is much better than getting straight close to the Qing army trenches and being shot by Qing army muskets.

Outside Tongzhou City, a large number of musketeers were piled up in the trenches by Qinggui. There was no way, and in order to strengthen the firepower, they could only do so.

The training of the Eight Banners soldiers was too poor. It was the first time that many people went to the battlefield. After one shot, they knew when they could fire the second shot. So they could only pile up people in the trenches, and inevitably widen the trenches.

In the positions outside the city, the Eight Banners soldiers set off muskets, but the effect was very few.

The bullets could not penetrate the shield car's baffle at all.

Because the latter is not only a log with a thigh thickness, but also a layer of cotton armor on the outside. Not to mention muskets, even small mountain-splitting cannons cannot be able to penetrate.

"Everyone has it, grenades are ready!"

Around a distance of more than 30 meters, shield cars stopped one after another.
