historical, Yang Xiuqing overviews the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom national affairs, if not the late ambition inflates, attempts to take Hong Xiuquan, but generation it, the achievement of its life, fears to be not limited to this. 历史上,杨秀清总览太平天国国事,如果不是后期野心膨胀,妄图取洪秀全而代之,其人生的成就,怕不止于此。 Also so, Hong Xiuquan in Wilderness, extremely dreads to Yang Xiuqing. Hong Xiuquan from the beginning, puts in Yang Xiuqing the armed forces, does not make him meddle the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom national affairs. 也正是如此,荒野中的洪秀全,对杨秀清是极为忌惮的。洪秀全从一开始,就将杨秀清放入军中,根本就不让他插手太平天国的国事。 However, establishes the religious doctrine, organizes religious sect, plays the politics, Hong Xiuquan naturally is in the expert. However spoke of administers the affairs of state, Hong Xiuquan may be the through layman. 然而,创立教义,组织教派,玩弄权术,洪秀全自然是个中行家。但是说到治理国政,洪秀全可就是彻头彻尾的门外汉。 Therefore, the places of three county now Taiping Heavenly Kingdom governs, the Economy condition does not calculate that good, depends entirely on the Hong Xiuquan prestige, is maintaining the rule. 因此,现在太平天国治下的三郡之地,经济状况并不算有多好,全靠洪秀全的个人威望,在维持着统治。 Common people who Taiping Heavenly Kingdom governs, Livelihood is quite poor. 太平天国治下的百姓,生活极为贫苦。 rivers and mountains are easy to change, the natural disposition is difficult to move. 江山易改,禀性难移。 Although Hong Xiuquan not like previous life is like that extravagant, dissolute and unrestrained, suitable enjoyment, is inevitable. previous life he proposed „Equal World” idea, by thoroughly discard(ed). 洪秀全虽然不像前世那般穷奢极欲,荒淫无度,适当的享受,还是不可避免的。前世他提出的“均天下”理念,也被彻底地抛弃。 Hong Xiuquan of this, is through royal power supreme. 这一世的洪秀全,是个彻头彻尾的王权至上者。 ...... …… The line of sight returns to the battlefield, Yang Xiuqing to command troops, initiates third time to fiercely attack to Mulan Fortress. 视线回到战场,杨秀清率部,对木兰要塞发起第三次猛攻。 Above battlefield, cloud of smoke float over. 战场之上,硝烟弥漫。 „Bang!” “轰隆！” Under the unceasing bombardment of Artillery, Mulan Fortress city wall, is withstanding the huge test. 在火炮的不断轰击下,木兰要塞的城墙,承受着巨大的考验。 Taiping Heavenly Kingdom south main forces, fierce does not fear. The officers are going against iron Shield, did not fear the sacrifice, pledged to fight to the death to guard four Artillery, iron core is being going Mulan Fortress to rumble a big hole. 太平天国南路大军,悍不畏死。将士们顶着铁质盾牌,不畏牺牲,誓死守卫着四门火炮,铁了心将要木兰要塞轰出一个大窟窿。 Ming Dynasty is Artillery, can it be that easy? 明朝火炮,岂是易于？ Bang, an east side city wall corner/horn, was rumbled finally a big hole. 轰隆隆中,东侧城墙的一角,终于被轰出一个大坑。 „Aims at that big hole, explodes to me puts on it!” “瞄准那个大坑,给我炸穿它！” The Artillery conductor officer, looks excited, is sees the victory the dawn. 火炮指挥官,神情兴奋,已是看到胜利的曙光。 Thereupon, four Artillery salvos, one after another „Thunderbolt Shell”, shells in the big hole. The city wall big hole, bang is bigger, the bang is deeper. 于是乎,四门火炮齐射,一个接一个的“霹雳弹”,轰击到大坑之内。将城墙的大坑,越轰越大,越轰越深。 As a result of Ming Dynasty Artillery own flaw, this time Artillery on, is really barely satisfactory. In four shells, can have a hit big hole, is lucky. 由于明朝火炮自身的缺陷,此时的火炮在准度上,实在是差强人意。四枚炮弹中,能有一枚命中大坑,已是幸运至极。 Ming Dynasty time, firearm, is Artillery, obtains the application of wide scope, but why like the West like that thoroughly hasn't substituted for the cold weapons by hot weapons? 明朝时期,无论是火枪,还是火炮,都得到大范围的应用,但是为何没有像西方那般,凭借热武器彻底取代冷兵器？ The primary cause has four. 主要原因有四。 First, Artillery must be able to fire „blossoming shell”, namely blasting cartridge. 其一,火炮要能够发射“开花炮弹”,即爆炸弹。 Why? Because has the blasting cartridge, can make Artillery turn into field operation weapon from Siege Equipment, can the mass casualties since birth goal ;, if can only launch the solid iron ball, the nature is limited on the lethality. 为何？因为只有爆炸弹,才能使火炮从一种攻城器械变成野战武器,能大量杀伤有生目标；而如果只能发射实心铁球,自然就杀伤力有限。 A shell rumbles, blasts open the innumerable fragments, creates a large area of killing. 一个炮弹轰出,炸裂成无数的碎片,造成大面积的杀伤。 Ming Dynasty manufacture „Toxic Fire Flying Beating”, the artillery tube is made of the wrought iron, installs Gunpowder more than ten two, the shell is cast by the pig iron, shoots internal installation „pi sulfur toxicant 52”, after the ignition, will fly to wrestle to hit beyond the 300 meter, suddenly to break offends somebody. 明朝制造的“毒火飞搏”,炮筒用熟铁製成,装火药十多两,炮弹由生铁熔铸,弹内装“砒硫毒药52”,点火后将飞搏打于三百米外,暴碎伤人。 What a pity, this technology is not mature in the Ming Dynasty time, has not obtained the large-scale application. 可惜,这项技术在明朝时期还不成熟,没有得到大规模的应用。 To Qing Dynasty, not only does not have to improve, instead regresses, then uses the solid iron lump, even is the gravel, iron filings substituted for the shell. 到了清朝,不仅没有对此进行改进,反而退步,转而用实心铁疙瘩,甚至是石子、铁屑等取代炮弹。 Before westernization movement, the Qing Dynasty Artillery might, naturally is the child's play. 洋务运动之前,清朝火炮的威力,自然就是儿戏。 The 19 century 70 age, Zuo Zongtang finishes an apprenticeship Western Expedition, in Shaanxi Phoenix Ascends discovered Late Ming „blossoming shell”, sighs with emotion: „Sharp weapon enters the China 300 remaining years of life, making some people pay attention in this at that time, would not to such an extent Island Clan able to move unhindered marine, did dozens years pinch this are arrogant I?” 十九世纪七十年代,左宗棠出师西征,在陝西凤翔发现明末的“开花炮弹”,不禁感慨道:“利器之入中国三百馀年矣,使当时有人留心于此,何至岛族纵横海上,数十年挟此傲我？” Conservative of Man-Qing in Weapons and Equipment guiding principle, making Qing Army pay the serious price in Opium War. Before the westernization movement, Qing Dynasty 200 during many years, the Firearm technology even must regress compared with the Ming Dynasty end. Actively improves compared with Firearm with the Ming Dynasty government, obviously the ignorance of Man-Qing ruler. 满清在武器装备指导思想上的保守,使清军在鸦片战争中付出了惨重的代价。在洋务运动之前,清朝二百多年间,火器技术甚至比明朝末期还要退步。与明朝政府积极改进火器相比,可见满清统治者的愚昧。 Second, Artillery must have the considerable mobility. 其二,火炮要具备相当的机动性。 The Artillery mobility is not good, does not favor massively centralized, Ming Dynasty Artillery the tiger squatting artillery and Folang machine blunderbuss was afterward red barbarians Cannon mobility is not good. 火炮机动性不好,就不利于大量集中,明朝的火炮无论是虎蹲炮、佛朗机铳还是后来的红夷大炮机动性都不好。 Although the tiger squatting artillery is not big, before may launch, unexpectedly must sew with the big nail in ground ; red barbarians Cannon is the naval gun of Portugal person, is over a thousand jin (0.5 kg), too is only unwieldy applicable to defending a city. 虎蹲炮虽然不大,可发射前居然要用大铁钉钉在地上；红夷大炮本来是葡萄牙人的舰炮,重达上千斤,太笨重只适用于守城。 Reviews the West, the Cannon caliber is suitable, tows with the horses, can the short time quickly concentrate to form the Artillery position, Ming Army also has Ramallah gun carrier, is the Artillery might on vehicle is too small. 反观西方,大炮的口径适当,用马匹牵引,能够短时间迅速集中形成炮兵阵地,明军也有马拉炮车,可是车上的火炮威力太小。 Like Taiping Heavenly Kingdom from five Artillery that Heavenly Capital ships, has spent all the way also the strength of Nine Ox Two Tigers. Must otherwise, present Artillery in battlefield, is not five, but is ten, even is more. 就像太平天国自天京运来的五门火炮,一路上也是费了九牛二虎之力。要不然的话,出现在战场上的火炮,就不是五门,而是十门,甚至是更多。 Third, must have considerable amount of firearm armed forces. 其三,要有相当数量的火枪部队。 Even if harquebus compares bow and arrow also to have very big superiority, do not say every minute of 4~5 round of flintlock. Japanese Warring States time, Oda Nobunaga firearm three strike, it may be said that renowned. 即便是火绳枪相比弓箭也有很大优势,更不要说每分钟四五发的燧发枪。日本战国时期,织田信长的火枪三段击,可谓名噪一时。 It is a pity that in the Ming Dynasty army never has firearm armed forces in the true sense. 遗憾的是,明朝军队中从来就没有真正意义上的火枪部队。 These various sizes fireshot do not have a unified service pattern, creates to logistics bears some ; blunderbusses enormously, even needs two people to put up in bamboo operates, is quite inconvenient. 那些大大小小的火铳也没个统一的制式,给后勤造成极大负担；有的铳,甚至需要两个人架在竹架上操作,极为不便。 Fourth, Artillery must have quite the fire control ability. 其四,火炮要具备相当的火控能力。 The so-called fire control ability, is the blunderbuss gauge and blunderbuss ruler and moment and other instrument of the uses as well as the loads fills the skill specifically grasps. Without this, the Firearm hit probability is a joke. 所谓火控能力,具体就是铳规、铳尺和矩度等仪器的使用以及装弹填药技巧的掌握。没有这个,火器的命中率就是一个笑话。 An outstanding cannoneer before launching Artillery, must estimate the enemy far. Although sees human form the size to guess the distance from the telescope, but if uses moment to be able the precision measuring distance. 一个优秀的炮手在发射火炮之前,必须估计敌人有多远。虽然从望远镜中所见人形的大小可以猜测远近,但如果使用矩度就可以精确测量距离。 Chongzhen first year, the imitation of Ming Army to red barbarians Artillery entered the mass production the stage, however the West promotes the Artillery aiming accuracy using the instrument the operating procedure, was actually at that time the scotomas of many Ming Army cannoneers. 崇祯初年,明军对红夷火炮的彷製已经进入量产的阶段,然而西方利用仪器来提升火炮瞄准精密度的操作方法,却一直是当时许多明军炮手的盲点。 Hong Xiuquan obtains «Ming Dynasty Artillery Manufacturing Technical Manual», naturally does not have the ability, makes the improvement to Ming Dynasty Artillery. Can according to manual, the original design produce, is not quite easy. 洪秀全获得《明朝火炮制造技术手册》,自然是没有能力,对明朝的火炮进行改进的。能够按照手册,原样生产出来,已是极为不容易。 Therefore, South Road Army four Artillery, on the fore or front sight, can be inferred. 因此,南路军的四门火炮,在准星上,就可见一斑。 Four Artillery, have bombed one continually in the morning, only then the trivial eight shells, the hit city wall big hole, other shells, hit accurately leaning. 四门火炮,连番轰炸了一上午,也只有区区八枚炮弹,准确地命中城墙的大坑,其他的炮弹,统统都打偏了。 Yang Xiuqing sees this, the air/Qi results in complexion to be pale, cannot manifest suddenly. 杨秀清见此,气得脸色铁青,偏偏又发作不得。 Morning time, South Road Army casualty 6000 more people. Calculates, South Road Army from all sides, casualty 30,000 more people, actually did not progress. 一个上午的时间,南路军又折损六千余人。算一下,南路军前前后后,已经折损三万余人,却毫无进展。 Thinks that Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan strongly-worded reply, Yang Xiuqing complexion even more ugly, his transmitting orders army, must persevere, does not rumble to collapse city wall, does not remove the rest. 想到天王洪秀全措辞强硬的回信,杨秀清脸色越发的难看,他传令全军,务必坚守,不轰塌城墙,绝不撤下来休息。 ...... …… Above Mulan Fortress city wall, Bai Qi facial expression, is the unprecedented dignity. 木兰要塞的城墙之上,白起的神情,也是前所未有的凝重。 enemy army Artillery, although has not collected the effect, actually takes to Bai Qi too big shock. 敌军的火炮,虽然还未凑效,却带给白起太大的震撼。 As family background Warring States High-General, Bai Qi to Firearm, is really strange tight. Sees with own eyes giant iron monster that enemy army pushes, can actually rumble to put on several rice thick city wall, how Bai Qi not startled? 作为一名出身战国的将领,白起对火器,实在是陌生的紧。眼见敌军推出来的巨大的铁怪物,竟然能够轰穿数米厚的城墙,白起如何不惊？ Bai Qi realized immediately that along with appearance of Artillery, the battlefield will present a transformation in the future. 白起随即意识到,随着火炮的现身,未来战场都将出现一次变革。 As God General, Bai Qi will not always fill in the present situation, gives up studying and progress. After this war, was enrolls in supplementary lessons the Firearm knowledge well. 作为神将,白起从来都不会满于现状,放弃学习和进步。此战过后,是得好好补习一下火器的知识了。 So looks like, city wall was rumbled to put on is only sooner or later matter. 如此看来,城墙被轰穿只是迟早之事。 Bai Qi ordered immediately, assembled ten cock blade car(riage)s, shelled nearby city wall that to await orders in north. 白起当即下令,调集十辆塞门刀车,在北轰击的城墙附近待命。 Cock blade car(riage), in city gate was broken through is used to stop up the city gate defense instrument. On the first blade wall is loaded with 24 the steel knife, in use pushes the car(riage) to the city gate gap place, not only may kill the enemy, and may block the arrow and stone of enemy side. Such opposite party is very difficult to climb up, forms the activity the barrier. 塞门刀车,是在城门被攻破时用于堵塞城门的守城器械。前刀壁上装有二十四把钢刀,使用时将车推至城门缺口处,既可杀伤敌人,又可挡住敌方的矢、石。这样对方很难攀援,形成活动的壁垒。 Therefore, when the cock blade car(riage) is the city broken, most useful helping in an emergency weapon. 因此,塞门刀车就是城破之时,最为有用的救急兵器。 Mulan Fortress at the beginning of the design, has adopted the complex design to city gate. Not only has designed consecutively two Enceinte Fortification, but also Lord city gate is seals off by the giant stone, must through the instrument, be able to sling stone gate. 木兰要塞在设计之初,就对城门就采取了复杂的设计。不仅设计了连续两道瓮城,而且主城门是由巨石封堵,必须通过器械,才能将石门吊起。 This instrument, after Mohist School of Thought moves into, specially improvement. 这一套器械,还是在墨家入驻之后,特意改进的。 Therefore, to Taiping Heavenly Kingdom South Road Army, to break Mulan Fortress city gate, might as well shells city wall directly, comes simply simply. 因此,对太平天国的南路军而言,要想破开木兰要塞的城门,还不如直接轰击城墙,来得简单干脆一点。 The Mulan Fortress only shortcoming, does not have moat. 木兰要塞唯一的缺点,就是没有护城河。 Now enemy army must shell city wall, Bai Qi also can only assemble the cock blade car(riage), the organization defends. 现在敌军要轰击城墙,白起也只能调集塞门刀车,组织防御。 In addition, Bai Qi also transmits Fierce General E'lai, making him lead Third Division two Mountain Barbarian Heavy Infantry Brigade, shells nearby city wall that to await orders in north. 除此之外,白起还传来猛将恶来,让他率领第三师团的两个山蛮重装步兵旅,在北轰击的城墙附近待命。 Once city wall were rumbled to put on, shells cave entrance that in north, definitely will have a bloody battle. 一旦城墙被轰穿,在北轰击的洞口,必然会发生一场血战。 Can block the attack of enemy army, defends the gap stubbornly, is the key of this war. When this, Bai Qi naturally must assemble sharpest armed forces, participates defense. 能不能挡住敌军的进攻,死死地守住缺口,就是此战的关键。当此之时,白起自然要调集最精锐的部队,去参与防守。 In the entire Mountains and Seas City armed forces, does not have Mountain Barbarian Heavy Infantry again, this territory Iron Wall, more suitable. 整个山海城军中,再没有山蛮重装步兵,这个领地铁壁,更为适合的了。 All arrangement are appropriate, Bai Qi slightly relaxed, he has completed most badly plans. 一切布置妥当,白起才稍稍松了一口气,他已经做好最坏的打算了。 ...... …… 2 : 00 pm, entire battle situation, welcomed the biggest turning point. 下午两点,整个战局,迎来最大的转折点。 „Bang!” “轰隆！” Along with a iron shell, accurately hits the previous big hole, „huā lā”, east side city wall, was collapsed by the Artillery bang finally, rumbles a giant hole. 随着一枚铁质炮弹,准确地命中此前的大坑,“哗啦”一下,东侧的这一段城墙,终于被火炮轰塌,轰出一个巨大的窟窿。 Immediately, Taiping Heavenly Kingdom south main forces exudes the sound of shocking cheering, like winning generally. 顿时,太平天国南路大军发出震天的欢呼之声,就像胜利了一般。 Yang Xiuqing complexion, changes for the better slightly. He fully realized, at this time morale available. Does not need to wait till tomorrow, immediately transmitted orders, takes the city wall hole as the breach, initiates the most violent charge to Mulan Fortress. 杨秀清的脸色,也稍稍好转。他深知,此时士气可用。不用等到明天,立即传令,以城墙窟窿为突破口,对木兰要塞发起最为猛烈的冲锋。 Must, fight to win. 务必,一战而胜。 To the forefront, is the Li Xiucheng unit. 冲在最前面的,就是李秀成部。 „Kills!” “杀！” Youth High-General Li Xiucheng, leads Vanguard Force, is his subordinates sharpest Infantry, first kills toward the big hole, both eyes are red, are unafraid of death. 青年将领李秀成,率领先锋部队,也是他麾下最精锐的步兵,第一时间朝大窟窿杀去,双眼赤红,视死如归。 But was rumbled in city wall the earliest possible time of collapsing, the Mountains and Seas City officers at the maximum speed, cleans up collapsing the stone, two cock blade car(riage)s, advances the hole mouth accurately. 而就在城墙被轰塌的第一时间,山海城将士们以最快的速度,清理掉坍塌的石块,将两辆塞门刀车,准确地推到窟窿口。 E'lai leads Mountain Barbarian Heavy Infantry Brigade, after the blade car(riage), is ready in full battle array. Rakshasa that E'lai sits down, exudes sound of the intermittent whooshing, wanted to break in the battlefield impatiently. 恶来则率领山蛮重装步兵旅,在刀车之后,严阵以待。恶来坐下的罗刹,发出一阵阵嘶吼之声,已是迫不及待地想要冲入战场。 Most difficult offensive and defensive operations, soon will launch in the narrow and small hole mouth. 一场最为艰难的攻防战,即将在狭小的窟窿口展开。
