Chapter 232: The Great Battle in the Town

"Big boss, Qi Meng's gang of bastards are gone!" , Kong Jin hurriedly ran out of the cabin to report.

When Qi Meng heard the sound of the cannon, he knew that it was not good, this Hexi Town seemed to be really prepared, so wouldn't he and the others be sitting on wax.

He knew that Wu Lin was ruthless, and besides, he and the others were not big names, so he would be used to get angry.

Taking advantage of the fact that the two guards at the gate did not pay attention, their gang directly stunned the two people and jumped into the river under the cover of the sound of cannons.

"Grass, these dog mongrels, I'll settle the account with you when I go back", Wu Lin was a little angry, these bastards couldn't help themselves.

But at this point, one thing has to be sent, and I just hope that God will bless me and my brothers can go back safely.

At this time, Wu Lin heard a burst of shouts and killings at the fort on the left, and he was happy in his heart, Shu Yong, this kid finally didn't pick a picker this time, and without the threat of the fort, his gang should be able to land smoothly.

Before he could laugh, "boom", "boom", several cannon sounds came from the fort on the left again, and four yellow fire clouds exploded above the Bailongzhai fleet.

Three of the incendiary bombs deviated far away and did little damage to the fleet, but one exploded squarely over the rear of the fleet, and the two ships shrouded in fire instantly burst into flames, and the screams of ghosts and wolves were transmitted through the white mist on the surface of the river.

The battery on the right also let out a burst of cannon fire, and four iron balls whistled towards the river, because they had already measured the shooting boundary, and two of the four were hit, but they only opened two large holes in the ship, and exploded a cluster of wood chips.

Yu Yongkai was waiting at the port with the people of the Longxiang camp, and couldn't help but praise when he saw the scene of the sky being lit up by incendiary bombs: "The fire tree and silver flowers never sleep, and the ancients did not deceive me." ”

"The Longxiang battalion stepped forward, and the artillery team loaded the shotguns!"

On the contrary, Wu Lin, who was on the river, was cold and fell into hell, watching his two ships turn into two large torches, where the hell did this thing come from, it was so powerful.

"Quick! Continue to row, if you don't want to die, speed up Lao Tzu! ”

Wu Lin is still a reasonable person, knowing that turning around and escaping will expose himself and others to the range of the battery, and now only by mixing with the people of Hexi Town can he avoid the bombardment of the cannon.

"Knock", "knock" several sounds kept coming, and the fleet of Bailongzhai finally hit the merchant ships and docks docked on the shore, and the huge impact force came, and many water bandits standing on the deck flew out of the ship in an instant under the action of inertia.

Before the ship could come to a stop, the two dozen or so sailors on the ship rushed to the shore, for fear of a few more shells like the one on the batteries on both sides.

Yu Yongkai had already led people to guard the edge of the dock, and seeing that this group of water bandits was constantly climbing onto the dock from the boat and in the water, he raised his right hand into a fist, and then waved down fiercely, "Fire the cannon in batches!" ”

Hexi Town has its own batteries, but each regimental unit of the wheel defense also has its own artillery, and there are six 3.5-inch firebird guns placed at the dock.

"Boom"

Balls of flames lit up at the muzzles of the cannons, and thousands of small steel balls of similar size brought out a white tail line in the air, each of which fanned out in an irregular shape and shot towards the bandits on the dock.

"Puff puff", clumps of blood flowers continued to bloom on the dock, and Zhao Si saw several familiar brothers flying towards the back of the body impacted by the rain of bullets.

"Kill", Zhao Si's eyes widened, and a trace of blood filled it, "Brothers, there is no way to retreat behind, if we don't rush up, we will only have a dead end!" ”

Wu Lin and Zhao Si led the real elite of Bailongzhai, these people are all old thieves, and they have countless lives in their hands, and now they are forced to a dead end, and a group of people with red eyes began to rush forward.

"Boom"

A second round of bombardment followed, setting off another bloody storm at the docks.

Yu Yongkai now also regrets that he chose the battlefield in such a high position, because the distance between the dock and the port is too short, and the reloading time reserved for his side is insufficient, and the artillery can only fire one round before it becomes useless.

Second, the Longxiang battalion is now in an aggressive posture, striking out the violent side of the entire Bailongzhai water bandits, after all, there are many people, and they don't know if the Longxiang battalion can cope with the impact of the sea of people.

Seeing that this group of bandits still rushed towards the port regardless of casualties, Yu Yongkai immediately decided, "The artillery team retreats, and the musketeers prepare." ”

The gunner of the six guns immediately let go of the gun carriage fixing bracket, dragged the rear end of the cannon and began to retreat to the rear, because the gun carriage was designed with wheels, which was quite convenient to move.

"Shoot in sections!"

The Longxiang battalion in the harbor was lined up in two rows, with only about 80 men in each platoon, and the rain of bullets fired could not even cover all the docks.

The water bandits in Bailongzhai suddenly felt that the pressure was greatly reduced, although many people fell on the way to the charge, but the remaining bandits still gritted their teeth and charged forward, and the indomitable momentum made the Longxiang camp begin to feel uneasy.

Fortunately, after the baptism of the fort led by Ma Wei and the scattered bombardment in front of the port, Bailongzhai lost at least more than 400 people, and minus the men and horses taken away by Shu Yong, Wu Lin and Zhao Si only had about 1,300 people left.

The road at the dock further severed the bandits, making their impact much weaker.

"Throw grenades, prepare bayonets!"

Yu Yongkai's forehead was bruised, and he kept repeating the command in a hoarse voice, and the Qu Chang and Tun Chang of the 102 and 103 songs also continued to cooperate with the order, and one bomb after another exploded at the dock, breaking up the offensive momentum of the water bandits again.

However, by this time, the distance between the Long Xiang camp and the water bandits was less than 10 meters, that is, between a few breaths, the water bandits who were not afraid of death finally rushed in front of them.

The water bandits running in the front row didn't care about the bayonet that stabbed them, picked up the waist knife in their hands and began to slash at the Longxiang camp, and the Longxiang camp suddenly suffered a large number of casualties.

Yu Yongkai's face turned red, and his heart almost jumped out of his throat, if it goes on like this, it will only be a matter of time before the front of the Long Xiang camp is broken through.

Seeing that the figures of water bandits had begun to appear on both sides that Long Xiangying couldn't take care of, Yu Yongkai finally couldn't bear it anymore, and he and the others were only afraid that they would be wrapped in dumplings.

"Shrink the front, defend in the compound, don't mess up!"

"Wan Sheng!"

The water bandits in Bailongzhai saw that the Longxiang camp began to shrink backwards, and many people thought that they were about to win, and bursts of cheers broke out in the crowd, and the water bandits behind them rushed forward more urgently.

Who knew that although the Longxiang battalion was retreating, the long-term training could still maintain a retreat without chaos, and dozens of rushing bandits were stabbed and injured or killed.

When they retreated to the courtyard wall, there was cover behind the Longxiang camp, and the two sides fought again at the gate of the compound of the Inspection Division.

Under the dim light, the sword light and sword shadow, bloody rain and bloody wind were staged alternately on the port side, and without the shelter of firearms, the Longxiang battalion could only rely on the memories engraved in the body of training to fight in teams.

"Ideology and politics, I can't stand it!"

Li Minyi, the commander of Song 103, was about to lose his arms, and now only the remaining courage in his body supported him to continue fighting, but seeing his companions fall one by one, and the bandits were still full of figures, he shouted with a slight cry.

Yu Yongkai originally strictly implemented Liu Xi's rule that officers were not allowed to go into battle directly, but at this time, he couldn't take care of these anymore, he picked up a rifle and rushed forward, stabbing a water bandit who was about to commit murder several times in a row, and rescued a seriously wounded soldier back.

"The thieves can't bear it anymore, brothers, fight to the death!"

Wu Lin also moved from the boat to the shore at this moment, and when he saw this scene, he was overjoyed, "Everyone, all press up!" ”

"Click~click~~click~click~click"

Just then, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves on the street north of the town, where the port leads.

"Longxiang Battalion, you will win!"

The screams of the sky suddenly came from the dark streets, and hundreds of cavalrymen with sabers suddenly appeared on the right side of the White Dragon Village as if they had descended from hell.

The water bandits on the far right were frightened by this shout, and when they turned their heads, they subconsciously wanted to flee to both sides.
