Chapter 286: The Price of Arrogance [I] Asking for Subscription
In this regard, Fang Tao was not angry, but swore to his mother to protect the governor. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Later, Fang Tao relied on his own strength to rush out of the audition and join the Governor's Governor's Governor's Guard. I thought it was just an official to protect the governor. Outcome...... Fang Tao's life was changed, he saw for the first time what a cannon is! A cannon for thirteen miles, falling to the ground and blooming, and chickens and dogs are not left! Such a terrifying weapon, he didn't believe that it was made by humans at all, he would rather believe that it was Thor's treasure!
Not only Fang Tao, but many of the soldiers who were with him privately called this cannon the Wrath of Thor!
With money, with the governor of Zhili who cared about them, and with a weapon-like weapon, Fang Tao had nothing else to ask for.
Later, it was rumored that the Eight-Nation Coalition was coming to attack Tianjin, and all the soldiers worked overtime to practice day and night. Toil for toil, but no one complains, for this is their duty, and the only way to repay the governor. What's more, three meals a day are good, just like a restaurant, and there is no reason to complain.
Then, when they suddenly heard that the people of the city had begun to flee, the governor did not want to stop them, but instead pestered the fleeing people. Such a benevolent and righteous act completely stimulated the enthusiasm of the whole people for the war of resistance, and many people who went out ran back after thinking about it. In their words, the governor is benevolent and righteous, and they cannot be ungrateful! People cannot live for a lifetime, and if there is a war, they are willing to fight to the death with kitchen knives in hand!
In the end, these people did not leave, and were placed in the rear, carrying grain and grass for the army.
This is also the only time since Fang Tao was born that he has seen the military and civilians working so together. On this day, all the people of Tianjin obeyed the order and were uniform! On this day, the people of the entire city of Tianjin were holding back a roar of rage, and they only waited for the time to be ripe to burst out and blast the invaders into ashes!
Patting the steel cannon on the side, Fang Tao said in a low voice: "Old man, it's time to roar in a while, don't embarrass me!"
"Fang Tao, stop muttering, the war is about to begin. I'm going to pee!" A soldier rubbed his hands excitedly, this was their first actual battle, and it was still a war to defend their home and country, and everyone's hearts suppressed this momentum, and they couldn't wait to use artillery to smash all the invading enemies! Even the commander behind him was the same! No one was afraid, only excited!
"Hold on! Even if you have a diaper in your pocket, you are not allowed to leave the cannon for me half a step!" Fang Tao scolded.
The other party smiled and said: "If you break my leg, I won't leave!" It's just the first battle of our artillery, and I must participate in this first shot!"
Fang Tao nodded...... At this moment, a loud shout came from behind him: "There is an order from above, prepare for battle!"
Hearing this order, everyone's blood boiled!
Fang Tao only felt that his hands were trembling, his blood was roaring, and he kept admonishing himself in the depths of his heart: "Calm down, calm down, come according to the training!
……
Chen Chong, lying in the temporary bunker made of sealed houses with bricks, kept rubbing his hands, and the Makqin in front of him flashed with a black cold light. The bomb delivery man on the side whispered: "Brother Chen, I'm so nervous. ”
"Nervous fart! After a while, the enemy is coming, how many ammunition do you give me! His grandmother's, a group of foreign devils, who used to eat our leftovers, dared to come to fan the might of my Heavenly Empire...... No, it's to offend the authority of our governor, and it's really looking for death!" Chen Chong clapped the Makqin machine gun and shouted excitedly.
"I know, I just can't help it, you see, those guys are swaggering together on the beach, such a dense formation, I really want to give them a shuttle. Said the bomb deliverer.
"Shut up! Everything obeys orders! The governor said to fight, fight again, otherwise even if the enemy stabs you to death with a knife, you will bear with me!" Chen Chong reprimanded.
The bomb deliverer nodded again and again: "Brother Chen, don't say it, I know." The Governor has saved our lives, and if it weren't for that, we would have been hanged. What's more, he also gave us a home, which we can't pay even if we die. I just whined and obeyed orders absolutely. ”
At this moment, boom boom boom ...... A series of roars sounded, and Chen Chong laughed and said: "The artillery has begun! It's ours soon, prepare!"
"Here we go! hehe......"
……
Seymour stood on the warship, watched the soldiers land easily, and shook his head slightly: "The Qing Dynasty is so corrupt and incompetent, it really deserves to die." ”
"General Seymour, I'm going to enter the city in a moment, why don't you gather the soldiers first?" asked Pierce.
Friess immediately said: "No, we have not yet determined whether this place is safe or not, and it is easy to become a target for the enemy if we gather rashly." ”
Pierce said disapprenously: "If the enemy wants to counterattack, he will counterattack at sea, there is no need to wait for us to come up." We are already here, our muskets are loaded, our guns are ready for fire, our warships are behind us! What are the Qing soldiers? spears, spears, bows and arrows? Do you want to fight us with this? And, Mr. Fries, please watch, our soldiers are on the beach, and the nearest house is a kilometer away! At such a distance, there are no trees, no forests...... You tell me what kind of ambush they will use if they want to ambush us? Of course, if the cannon at Dagukou is still there, it is indeed a bit of a threat. It's a pity that it's no longer there. ”
Fries frowned, "Mr. Pierce, you're not a soldier, so it's better not to give random advice." This is the battlefield, and to be cautious is to be responsible for your own life. ”
"Alright, Fries, don't worry so much about that. Pierce wasn't a military man, but you have to admit that he had a point. Although our soldiers are powerful, the time for the muskets to load ammunition is still a little slow, and the formation of troops and the orderly advance are only good and not bad for us. Give the order to go down, gather the armies of all countries, and let the islanders open the way in front, there are too many of these guys......" Seymour laughed.
Pierce heard this and made a smug look at Fries.
Fries was also helpless about this, so he could only give an order.
Seymour had absolute command over this war, and after his order was given, other countries would naturally not oppose it. Only Ichiro Oshima complained, because Seymour was obviously using the islanders as cannon fodder and guinea pigs! If there was a trap or something in front of them, the islanders would inevitably bear the brunt. (To be continued.) )
