Chapter 221: Assault
Kitasaki Mountain, northwest. ◢ with * dream ◢ small *.lā
There are many rocks, huge and messy. The mountain is quite steep and easy to hide.
"Big dog, the county lieutenant just sent someone over to say. After winning this battle, each person can receive two taels of silver, and if he can kill one thief, he can also get a reward of one or two silver. A villager dressed in a patched linen coat came over and said to the man hiding behind the boulder.
"Sangou, is this true?" Li Dagou asked in surprise.
"Big brother dog, I dare to lie about this!" Li Sangou hurriedly argued.
"Haha... That's good. I just said, those dog officials forced us to fight, if every benefit, Lao Tzu Bird they are all fools. Li Dagou said happily.
"Big dog, I've heard some people say that these thieves are good people. When they lay down the land, they will divide the land among us poor families. Isn't it bad for us to resist them. A person next to him asked.
"Ermu, others didn't call you wrong, you are a piece of wood. Have you ever wondered what would happen if we didn't come. Besides, it's not clear whether the thieves will divide the land, but now the dog officer is giving him a lot of silver. Li Dagou looked at Li Ermu with disdain and said.
"Sangou, did you say you've ever seen the silver of the white flowers?" Li Dagou asked at the visitor.
"No, Big Dog. We usually see copper plates, where can we see silver. Sangou, who had just come over to speak, replied.
"Isn't it just, we'll work together to kill a few more thieves in a while. Sangou, you will have enough money to marry your little flower. Li Dagou said with a smile, so that Li Sangou touched his bare forehead embarrassedly.
"Big dog, the thief is here." Li Gousi, who was beside Li Dagou, called in a low voice.
Li Dagou gently poked his head out and looked down the mountain, but it wasn't exactly.
The bandit army was not far from the mountain at this time, watching their footsteps, and they would soon reach the ambush point.
"Everyone, be careful, don't make a noise and disturb the thief. Violators will be immediately beheaded, and the whole family will be sentenced to death. Do you understand? Behind him came a whispered order from the Green Battalion Inspector.
"Yes..."
A few sporadic responses were heard.
"Those who will obey the order to attack and dare to disturb the morale of the army will be beheaded; Those who dare not move forward will be chopped; Those who dare to retreat from the self will be killed. I know no. Another low shout came.
Although the voice was low, the three words of killing scared these villagers.
"The thieves are approaching, and they are all hiding."
……
"Big dog, what are you doing with the thief." Li Ermu pointed to the bandit army not far from the ambush point and said.
Li Dagou leaned out again to look, but saw that the bandit army was pushing one cannon after another to the front. There is not a single cannon in the entire Yudu County, and Li Dagou naturally has not seen it, so he naturally can't understand it.
At this time, the Iron Fist Battalion of the Bandit Army.
"Battalion Commander Xu, no matter what, please let my logistics auxiliaries participate in this battle." Zhao Wangquan, the battalion commander of the logistics auxiliary, pleaded to Xu Liguo of the regular army's iron fist battalion.
"Camp Chief Zhao, this is a bit out of order. Yes, Team Lee! Xu Liguo looked at his camp Zhengwang Shan and asked.
"This is indeed a bit inconsistent with the rules of our bandit army, after all, the work of the auxiliary battalion is not a frontal battlefield. Not as a last resort, auxiliaries do not need to go to war. The battalion Zhengwang Shan nodded and replied.
"That's not what I said, Wang Junzheng. What kind of battlefield is this, just a rabble. If the rabble doesn't let us do anything, when will we, the auxiliaries, become regular troops? Liu Yitang, commander of another logistics auxiliary battalion, said.
"This, Camp Commander Xu. Military matters, you have the final say. What do you think? Wang Shan looked at Xu Liguo and asked.
"Judging from what the brothers in the scout department have learned, it would be easier to have the brothers of the auxiliary soldiers to help share the pressure." Xu Liguo looked at the two auxiliary battalion commanders who were staring at him, and had no choice but to speak.
"Okay, I'll explain the situation to the top when the time comes." Wang Shan replied.
"Okay, thank you Team Wang and Camp Commander Xu." The two thanked each other happily.
"Then the two battalion commanders, let's discuss how to arrange the troops first!" Xu Liguo said.
"Okay," the two replied happily.
"In this way, we will bombard our side with artillery in a while. Then my battalion will be the central army, Battalion Commander Zhao will be the left wing, and Battalion Commander Liu will be the right wing. Questions? Xu Liguo said discussed.
"No problem..."
"It's best..."
The two replied happily.
……
"Bang... Bang... Bang..."
In the mountains of Kitasaki, the sound of shells is deafening.
At this moment, the three three-pound guns of the bandit army were firing shells at Kitasaki Mountain.
"Battalion Commander Xu, what kind of shell is this, it will explode if it is so loud." Yuan Wu, the captain of the guard beside Xu Liguo, asked.
"This is the latest cannonball, I heard that it was made for the sailors. Later, when our army commander heard about such a good thing, he went directly back to Guangzhou to ask for it. In this way, we didn't get much, and we finally got more than 30 pieces this time. Xu Liguo replied.
After three rapid artillery fires, the artillery stopped in order to save shells.
"Brothers, the thieves have no more shells, all rush me!" The king of the mountain commanded loudly in the distance.
Now the ambush is not possible, and the only way to attack is to attack.
Fortunately, the bandit army did not shell much, and only a few shells were fired. Although the damage caused to the ambushed Qing army was not large, the effect was exceptionally good.
If it weren't for the rapid and short-lived artillery bombardment of the bandit army, it is estimated that without the soldiers of the bandit army, direct artillery bombardment would have been able to defeat these Qing troops in ambush.
Under the order of Wang Zaiyuan, no matter whether the villagers and green battalion soldiers in ambush want to or not, they must rush forward. As for those village warriors who refused to go out, they also went out one after another after being slashed and killed by the green battalion soldiers who were watching.
At this moment, most of the Qing army has forgotten the joy of being rewarded with silver, and many people's minds are now blank, just running forward with the footsteps of others.
"Kill..."
The Qing army shouted and rushed down the mountain, and the crowd was turbulent, chaotic, and even stampeded.
At this moment, the three phalanxes of the bandit army are waiting solemnly.
In the eyes of outsiders, this funny scene is more like anti-thieves, and the bandit army is more like the soldiers and horses of the imperial court.
"Boom... Boom... Boom..."
The war drums of the bandit army sounded.
The heavy drumming made the hearts of the green battalion soldiers who rushed ahead tense.
"Is this really a thief? Why does it look more elite than the elite of the imperial court. Many Qing soldiers who saw it in their eyes naturally thought of it.
"Smack... Smack..."
A short platoon of gunfire rang out.
