Chapter 57: The Battle (1)

"Bang bang bang..."

"Bang Bang..."

Bursts of gunfire continued to sound in the valley

At this time, Yang Yingju, who was waiting for the logistics convoy in the shade of a tree outside the valley, was chatting with Sitku.

The sudden sound of such dense and continuous gunfire made Yang Yingju inevitably a little worried in his heart, and he couldn't help but look at the location of the green camp where the sound source came from in the valley. Then he asked Sitku and said, "What's going on up ahead?" ”

"I don't know, with such a dense sound of gunfire, could it be that the soldiers in front have encountered the enemy?" Sitku was also a little puzzled by the voice

"Newspaper..."

At this time, a green battalion soldier shouted and ran quickly. After arriving in front of Yang Yingju and Sitku, he naturally knelt down on one knee and shouted:

"Report to the Governor, General, that the soldiers ahead have been attacked, and we have been ambushed."

"Do you know who ambushed us? Why is there such a dense sound of gunfire, and there can be an organized counterattack in front? After hearing the words of the Green Battalion soldier, Sitku asked him one after another

It is also impossible not to be nervous if the army loses too much and loses the battle. Then what he will face will not be as simple as a downgrade of one or two levels, and it may even be dismissal and death.

"We don't know who they are, but they have a lot of muskets and cannons, and they are very fierce. The fighters in front couldn't resist and collapsed at the first touch. Now General Li and Counselor Kuyala are already organizing a counterattack, but the situation is not optimistic. The Green Battalion soldier who had come to report replied to Sitku, and went on to say to the two:

"General Li said that the other party is closing the siege, and once they succeed in closing the circle, then there will be very few people who can escape. Therefore, General Li asked me to hurry up and inform the Governor and the General, and let the two of them hurry up and ride away. Otherwise, once they are encircled, it will be troublesome to leave at that time. ”

After listening to the words of the Green Battalion soldiers, Yang Yingju and Sitku both felt that he was joking, when did Guangxi Province have such a powerful group of people? As far as those poor toasts in Guangxi are concerned, it is difficult to have a few shotguns, let alone artillery.

But listening to the dense sound of gunfire, salvo fire, and the sound of artillery from time to time, no matter how you look at it, this soldier is not alarmist.

"Governor Yang, what do you think?" After listening to the soldier's words, Sitku was a little undecided, and looked at Yang Yingju and asked

"With so many guns and men, it can't be Zhang Rui who ambushes us. But in the whole of Guangxi, the official can't think of any other way with this strength, unless..."Yang Yingju guessed in retrospect

Hearing Yang Yingju's suspicions, Sitku immediately denied him and said, "Is the governor saying that it was my people from the Great Qing Kingdom who ambushed us?" How is this possible. Now that I am in the prosperous age of Qianlong, which official will have enough to eat and have nothing to do to rebel? ”

"This official is also speculating. In this case, apart from the strength of the army of my Great Qing Kingdom, I really can't think of any other way with such strength. ”

"Although I don't know where it is, it's definitely not the army of my Great Qing Kingdom. I have cleared the firearms battalion and the Shenji battalion in the capital, and what kind of army can have so many firearms? ”

"Then the official really can't figure it out. General, what do you think is the choice now? Yang Yingju, who really couldn't think of an answer, asked Sitku

"I see..."

Just as Sitku was about to answer Yang Yingju's words, he found that there were a full battalion of cavalry running back in front of him

The soldier who found out about the situation hurriedly said to Yang Yingju and Sitku, who were talking, "Two adults, let's go quickly!" The cavalry battalion in front of it could no longer resist, and it was not too late to go. ”

"Wait, let's go find the escaped cavalry and ask about the situation. Now the logistics convoy is still jammed, and it will be too late to run again in a while. Yang Yingju ignored the words of the green battalion soldier, but asked Sitku to let his own soldiers intercept the retreating cavalry and ask what the situation was.

In a short time, a retreating battalion of horsemen was brought over by Sitku's own soldiers. I saw that the clothes on his body were all bloody, and the weapon in his hand had long since disappeared. There is also some white goo sticking between the neck and the face, and you can tell that it is brain pulp at a glance.

At this time, the cavalry who was brought over was still in shock. This young man, who was only about eighteen or nineteen years old, was still muttering: "Amma, Eniang, I want to go home." ”

Sitku looked at his situation and could only shout at him and asked, "Soldier, tell me quickly, what is the situation ahead?" ”

"Ahead? Hell ahead. A lot of shells never stopped, and a lot of bullets, people died without rushing over. The rider spoke incoherently

When Sitku was about to ask him again, more and more cavalry ran towards the back, and none of them cared about him as a general, nor did they care that the governor of Liangguang was here, and none of them were willing to stay.

When the rider saw it, he didn't think about anything and shouted, "Run!" ”

Saying that, he didn't look at Sitku and the others again, and ran out directly!

Yang Yingju glanced at Sitku with him, and then said, "Don't say anything, general, let's leave here first and then make plans!" ”

Seeing this situation, Sitku could only echo and say, "That's all there is to it." ”

"Yes, two adults, let's leave quickly!" The pacesetter of the green battalion also said nervously

At this time, a strange situation formed outside the valley, and the retreating cavalry was desperately squeezing out, and the logistics convoy of unknown reasons was constantly moving in. For a while, all the people were blocked together.

"Whoever descends will not die..."

Bursts of cries rang out from the depths of the valley

These words were shouted by Zhang Rui, and he knew that he was victorious now.

From the extreme nervousness at the beginning to the current victory, how much psychological torture has been experienced in the middle is only known to those who have experienced it personally.

Zhang Rui's mood at the moment is very happy, just like taking a reading exam, reviewing all the test questions he can think of, and finally getting a perfect score.

In order to catch up with these cannons, Zhang Rui didn't close his eyes for a few days. Eventually, the cannons were produced, and they had to rack their brains to improve the performance of these cannons before they remembered that firing gunpowder wrapped in silk could increase the speed.

As a result, the gunners had to be trained.

After being busy with artillery, he had to be busy with the training of musketeers, and this was also the first time Zhang Rui organized people to get the ammunition fixed. After many tests by Zhang Rui himself, this was the amount of gunpowder. With fixed ammunition, the musketeer's manipulation steps are reduced, allowing for greater speed on the battlefield.

Train the team members, comfort them, pretend to be calm in front of outsiders, and despise the enemy.

All the hard work has paid off. Facts have proved that Zhang Rui really thinks highly of this group of enemies.

In fact, it's no wonder that these green battalions are full of soldiers, any team will collapse under such firepower.

Yes, Zhang Rui also admitted until this moment that he has no other ability to cross his predecessors, as long as he crosses, he will transfer troops and arrange troops.

In his previous life, he played a few computer games such as empires at most, even if he played games, he was also a rookie, and he only flattered the Yankees' words: firepower coverage.
