Chapter 144: What about high kung fu

When the Qing army paid a heavy price for casualties and finally attacked the bottom of the city, it was greeted with a rain of bullets, of course, this rain of bullets was not an ordinary lead bullet, but a grenade that was ignited.

The Fu Han army on the city wall looked at these guests from afar, and then unceremoniously lit the grenades, hundreds of grenades were thrown down, and when some Qing soldiers were smashed on the head with blood, they immediately turned into the most ruthless deadly weapons, and with a burst of explosions, hundreds of Qing troops fell under the city wall.

At present, there are less than 2,000 Qing troops under the city, purely supported by a bloody and brave spirit, and now that they have been bombed like this, the remaining more than 1,000 people can no longer withstand such casualties and collapse backwards.

Gao Qiwei's face was a little pale, looking at the corpses lying under the city wall, this was a scene he had never seen before, even in such a harsh environment on the northwest battlefield back then, he had never been so shocked as he is today.

It's not a war, it's a massacre.

Thinking of this, Gao Qiwei subconsciously planned to withdraw his troops and make plans again, but the scene of Shicai made him thrilled, if he left, how should he attack in the future? In any case, Gao Qiwei doesn't want to end it hastily, even if it's a dead person, Gao Qiwei wants to die clearly, so that next time he will know how to deal with it.

Ning Yu didn't know what Gao Qiwei thought in his heart, and he didn't care, for the current Qingjiang City, it can be said that it has been arranged as a position of crossfire from near and far, especially the coordination of artillery platoon guns and grenades, which has turned this area into a place of death.

Such a defensive method, even the current British Empire may not be able to reap much benefit, let alone the Qing army, which is dominated by the green battalion, which transcends the limits of the times and is beyond the ability of human bravery.

After Gao Qiwei gathered the rout, he once again beckoned people to launch an offensive, this time Gao Qiwei boldly used artillery to cover up, and more than 5,000 people lined up in several long lines and began to prepare to attack Qingjiang City.

Seeing this scene, Ning Yu knew that relying on his own firepower alone, he was afraid that it would be difficult to completely block the Qing army under the city, and he was afraid that hand-to-hand combat was inevitable. However, this is also expected by Ning Yu, the key is to see how to fight, he has confidence in his soldiers.

Now placed on the city wall to face the front line is the three regiments, the whole regiment of more than 1,800 people on the city wall, the regiment commander Li Shihu is brave, so his battalion and company commanders are also quite strong, all of them are men who dare to fight and dare to rush, and the front also feels that the Qing army is not helpful, and the fight will be dispersed all of a sudden, and everyone is a little disappointed.

Seeing that the Qing army came up again, and the number was much more than before, everyone couldn't help but be excited, a regiment and a battalion were originally made great contributions in Xiantao, and they were also given the name of Xiantao Battalion by Ning Yu, which is unique in the whole army, and it can be said that it is the top of the top troops.

The battalion commander Chen Wu also came out alive from the first battle of Xiantao, originally he followed Dong Ce's side, and later under the teaching of words and deeds, the growth rate was very amazing, and later with the increase of war, he continued to make new military exploits, and he rose all the way to the high position of the battalion commander.

Dong Ce had also consulted him before, and wanted to transfer him to the garrison division as the regiment commander, and his future prospects were also very good. However, Chen Wu insisted on staying in the Xiantao Battalion, even if it was just an ordinary soldier, although Dong Ce was a pity for the talent, he still promoted him to the battalion commander, which could be regarded as fulfilling his wish.

"Don't panic after a while, although the trenches and barbed wire fences outside the city were broken by the Qing army, it doesn't matter, wait until the Qing army arrives at the trench, put the first round of guns first! When the time comes, you must listen to my commands! ”

In this dark night environment, if you want to improve the hit rate, the only way is to shoot a row of guns, if you scatter the shot, the effect will be extremely poor, maybe after a round of Qing army there are not a few dead and wounded, Chen Wu is also trained in this area, and has always been very experienced in this area.

Some soldiers of the Fu Han Army laughed, "Battalion commander, we don't panic, it should be those Qing dogs who are panicking!" I'm afraid that if they run again, we won't be able to catch it at that time! ”

Seeing that the morale of the army had reached its highest level, Chen Wu didn't say anything more, just smiled, raised the flintlock pistol in his hand, and waited for the Qing army's attack.

At this stage of the war, in fact, it will become very boring, first the artillery of the Han army will open fire, and then the Qing army will rush to the city wall in five ways in the roar of its own artillery, but the Qing army, which lacks heavy artillery, is difficult to use artillery to break through the city wall, and can only use auxiliary equipment such as ladders and siege rams.

"Rush! The first to ascend is promoted to the fifth level! A thousand taels of silver! ”

The Qing army shouted loudly in the crowd, they waved their waist knives, and drove the green battalion soldiers under their command to attack the city wall, but there were constantly bullets fired from the cannons of the Han army, smashing into the crowd to create a bloody road.

The Fu Han army on the city wall was not in a hurry, leveled the flintlock pistol in his hand, and with Chen Wu's order, a row of bullets was fired, knocking down dozens of Qing soldiers who rushed to the ground.

Seeing that the Qing army behind had set up a ladder to prepare for the siege, Chen Wu was not in a hurry, and continued to lead the soldiers of the Fu Han Army to ignite the grenade and throw it out.

Chen Wu yelled loudly to show his inner excitement, but he also felt a little sorry afterwards, this grenade is scarce, and it needs to be used carefully, otherwise there will be no play in the future. When it comes to critical moments, grenades can be very useful.

The sounds of fighting and gunfire converged, and from time to time people climbed up the ladder, and others fell from the walls, like a scene in hell.

A very brave Qian Zong took a few of his guards, relying on his strong figure, quickly climbed the ladder, jumped onto the wall, waved the big knife in his hand, and cut down several people at once.

Just as the Qing army was cheering, several soldiers of the Fu Han army directly raised their flintlock pistols, and with a burst of gunfire, several projectiles opened several blood holes in the head and chest of the Qian Zong, and then shook and fell off the city wall, turning into meat paste, which made the Fu Han army cheer and jump.

"Hmph, no matter how high the kung fu is, when I get to the grassroots team officers with a handcuff, see who is more powerful!"

Ning Yu couldn't help but be startled when he first saw this brave Qianzong, but when he saw this person under the flintlock gun, he also felt a little disdainful in his heart.

When the other generals on the city wall heard this, they were all very excited, but they were all equipped with handcuffs, of course they knew how powerful this thing was, if they had this thing in close combat, all their efforts would be in vain.

"What the Metropolitan Governor said, I have written it down!"

Seeing that everyone behaved like this, Ning Yu couldn't change his words, and hurriedly passed over with a few haha.

Just kidding, with the current productivity, if you really match the team officers with handcuffs, I'm afraid it will be crazy. However, it is still feasible to equip officers at and above the level of company commander with handcuffs, and they can also have a good means of self-defense in wartime.
