Chapter 299: Shelling the City Wall

Compared with Li Xian who had nothing to do and stayed in Zhangjiacheng, Li Hu led the legions, set off for two days, and had already surrounded the county town outside Zhanjiang City, and several other legions also had the same task, to clear all the government forces on the Leizhou Peninsula.

As a new force, it still has a strong military force, and it is impossible for Chen Zijian to allow the government forces around him to approach.

The army led by Li Hu, all the way over, did not encounter any resistance forces, the government itself died, weakened the military household but extremely, don't look at the Leizhou Peninsula There are several guards, set up a long time ago to fight against the Japanese invaders, and then Japan's own regime changed, and the scourge of the Japanese invaders was eliminated.

The government unloaded the mill and killed the donkey, and the military households did not get the money and food from the government for a long time, and there was no material to repair the guards, and the guards declined.

Li Hu came over, looked at the city gate confinement, and through the binoculars, he could see that the soldiers on the city wall were listless, and they had no morale to fight to the death.

Li Hu heard the chief say that soldiers fighting wars are nothing more than supported by morale, and officers and soldiers without morale are simply waste wood.

Far away, Li Hu can still feel the weak appearance of the soldiers on the city wall, why can he see that nonsense, not to mention the tens of thousands of volunteers under him, all of them are men with gestures, and they are full of manly momentum when walking.

To have such momentum, with continuous food and training, can it be expressed.

On the contrary, the guards on the city wall, even if the government gave the guards a few full meals because of the volunteers, but the momentum is not something that can be quickly compensated for by eating a few full meals.

In Li Hu's eyes, the guards of the city wall walked unsteadily and looked sick one by one.

With such a guard, Li Hu was disdainful in his heart, not to mention the formal volunteers, even the logistics volunteers could not be compared, and they were a few points inferior in physical fitness.

And the Volunteers have a lot of mini guns, artillery, such weapons can be resisted by the height of only three meters in front of them?

In the city, the people were divided into two attitudes, one was that the people listened to the rumors of the landlords and gentry, and regarded the volunteers as traitors who did all kinds of evil, killed people and set fires.

What is prostitution and plundering, disembowelment and digging people's hearts to eat, what treats people as two-legged sheep, and treats people as food if there is no food.

Some pregnant women were disemboweled by the Volunteers, and their unborn babies were taken out and eaten.

In the rumors of the landlords and gentry, the volunteers are the demons on earth, and they should all go to hell after death.

In this era, the announcement channel is in the hands of those people, because the actions of the volunteers are against the volunteers to life and death, and it is impossible to expect them to say good things for the volunteers.

The other small number of people are happy with the volunteers from the bottom of their hearts.

Maoming County and Zhanjiang City are not far apart, and the people have contacts with each other, and the people of Zhangjiacheng go to Zhanjiang City to bring the news there.

I heard about the life of Zhangjiacheng during the contact, and then I was out of control, looking forward to the early arrival of the volunteers.

Without him, the people at the bottom of this world account for the majority, and they can only barely feed themselves under the rule of the government, and their lives are not dignified.

If the rich and powerful family takes a fancy to their wives and daughters, gives a little money, or directly robs people away, such a life has not seen the light of day, and it can be endured.

But the news from Zhangjiacheng made the people at the bottom see the future, not to mention anything else, Zhangjiacheng's children no matter what profession, are free to read and write, so that a group of people are willing to kick Zhangjiacheng for the sake of future generations.

"Big brother, what's going on outside? When the traitor calls, will we be in danger? ”

No matter what kind of war, the people are the helpless side, and their lives are completely out of their own, if the big people on that side look at the people unpleasantly, an order is the tragedy of slaughtering the city.

Don't think that the government will be merciful, killing good people and taking merit is specially defined for officers and soldiers, treating ordinary people as anti-thieves, and taking heads to pretend to be meritorious.

"I heard that the volunteers are very good to the people, and I heard that those bad rumors are all from the big families in the city, I heard a person who took his family to Zhangjiacheng said that the volunteers will only raid the homes of rich people, and we bitter people don't look down on it at all."

"Big brother, what if those people come to arrest us? Do you want to copy the knife desperately. ”

"Don't, don't fight hard, I inquired, those people won't hurt their lives if they catch people, and if they resist, they will be killed."

As early as when the volunteers appeared in Zhanjiang, someone ran back to report the news, after all, there was an anti-thief force around him, no matter how stupid the county order of Zhanjiang City was, he knew how to close the city gate and send people to guard it.

After the volunteers surrounded the city gate, the county commander could not sit still at all.

"Come on, urge me to come over quickly."

There are several older families in Zhanjiang City, and usually the county order does something, depending on the eyes of the three families, the county order has no background, otherwise he would not come to the southern barbarian land to be the county order.

At this time, Zhanjiang, in the eyes of the Ming court, belonged to the barbarian land, and it was just a little better than Hainan Island.

The people who were sent here to be county magistrates were the kind of people who relied on their personal achievements and had no background to send them to fill the numbers.

Compared with the county order, which has no background, the three families in Zhanjiang City have a relationship with the adults of Yuezhou City, and the county order depends on the people of the three families to do things.

Compared with the rush of the county order, the people of the three families came over slowly, and what about the siege of the volunteers outside had nothing to do with them. When the sky fell, there was a county ordinance on top.

The county order invited people from three families to come over, it was nothing more than to ask for money and food, and the rats in the warehouse in the city would cry and come out, there was no material for a long time, and they had to defend the city wall, and who would go to work without money and food.

However, the wish of the county order was about to be lost, and after sitting in the dilapidated mansion for a while, I suddenly heard a loud noise. I was so scared that I almost collapsed in my chair.

"Master, quick, go and see what's going on."

The master with two beards didn't need to think about it, and replied in horror, "Just now, a guard came to report that the thieves outside the city have a large number of artillery." ”

After speaking, I couldn't help but look in the direction of the loud noise.

"It's over, it's over, master, tell me what to do."

Usually proud, in order to squeeze the food that the people have worked hard to grow, the master has some eighteen kinds of martial arts, can get along with all kinds of ruthless means, and make those mud legs to death and disabled, which is notorious in the Zhanjiang area.

Now that the volunteers began to attack the county seat, they suddenly lost any attention, and the master's methods could only bully the cowardly people who did not dare to rebel.

The practice of the volunteers may be able to conceal from the people, telling the people how the volunteers kill people and set fires, and how vicious they are.

But the people in the government know the general practice of the volunteers, after all, the two places are not far apart, the county commander once sent people to Zhangjiacheng to inquire about the news, knowing that the volunteers are full of malice towards the people in the government, on the contrary, they are tolerant of mud legs and untouchables.

The master's own practice, after the volunteers break through the city gate, they will definitely be arrested and beheaded, who let him be notorious for squeezing the blood and sweat of the people!

Outside the city, Li Hu ordered fifty artillery pieces to aim at a position to attack.

The city wall is three meters high and one meter wide, Zhanjiang City is a completely poor place, don't expect how much money you can have to build the city wall as high and wide as possible. In the northern region, because of the needs of the war, the city wall will be more than ten meters high, and the width can be ridden on it.

In the almost most marginal county town of the Ming Dynasty, don't count on that kind of big city.

It was not difficult for Li Hu to let the artillery bombard the city wall.

Fifty artillery guns fired, except for the artillery, the other volunteers ran away to block their ears, the sound was too loud, there were no artillerymen's earmuffs, it was easy to hurt the ears.

No matter the artillery went down, the city wall that was bombarded by the artillery collapsed, and there were guards patrolling the wall before the cannon was fired, and it disappeared after the cannon was fired.

Li Hu knew that the city gate had long been blocked by the people inside looking for things, so it was better to bombard the city wall.

Li Hu waved his hand, "Attack, if you encounter any resistance, you will not be forgiven." ”

The three-meter moat was quickly filled out by the logistics soldiers, and thousands of volunteers aimed at the city wall with Mini guns, and when they found the guards with the intention of attacking, they immediately shot and killed.

As for those who poked their heads out of the city walls to observe, the volunteers didn't bother to shoot. As long as you don't resist, you can watch it if you want.

Why is there such a strange scene, the guards on the city wall have been demoralized by the shelling just now.

The reason why the Volunteers did not shoot is simple, because this is a change of the ruling body, these people are their own people, and there is no benefit in killing them. Opposite. Catching one person will be rewarded with credits.

All the guards on the city wall had no intention of attacking, and the volunteers didn't bother to fire their guns, of course, it was necessary to point their guns at the city wall, which was also to warn the guards on the city wall that if they dared to make any abnormal moves, they would die.

A legion of tens of thousands of people equipped with hot weapons, attacking the city with cold weapons, it is a simple matter, the city wall has been breached, and the order is to go in and arrest people.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the soldiers did not have any faith, and when they encountered a slightly stronger enemy, they collapsed and scattered, and the reason for this was that the court itself died.

In other words, the civilian clique is dead, desperately for the benefit of the literati, treating the military as enemies.

After the outbreak of war, it is impossible to expect the warriors to die with their lives.

Now after the artillery of the Volunteers bombarded the city walls, the best proof of this is that the guards have almost run out. I want to talk about "The Thief at the End of the Ming Dynasty" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find a confidant~
