Chapters 334 are so hard to die

It didn't take long for the sound of fierce gunfire to finally be heard outside the wall, followed by the explosion of grenades......

Lin Xiao exhaled lightly and shook his head with a smile.

This section of the cannon reacted quite quickly, and finally made up the loophole in time, otherwise, after this battle, he would have to be beaten again.

……

In fact, this time Lin Xiao wronged Duan Zhenghong.

At this moment, on the street outside the palace, Duan Zhenghong, who was directing the battle, was a little in a hurry.

In the face of the continuous onslaught of thousands of Qing troops, the defense of Duan Zhenghong and the machine gun platoon was not easy at all.

Due to the large area of the Pingnan Palace, in addition to the main street outside the gate, the Qing army launched a strong attack on five or six large and small streets in the west, southwest, and northwest directions.

Theoretically, it would be difficult for anyone to use the weapons of the 21st century against the armies of the 17th century.

However, many people who do not understand both military affairs and history have a great mistake in this regard, that is, they underestimate the wisdom of the ancients.

In fact, you don't have to be familiar with poetry and books, nor do you have to read any "Sun Tzu's Art of War" and "Guiguzi", as long as you have a preliminary understanding of the "Thirty-six Strategies" or read through the most superficial "General History of China", you will understand why there are so many military cases in history in which the weak defeated the strong.

As a matter of fact, this group of Qing troops who came to the aid were the only remaining old subordinates of Shang Kexi's lineage, and all of them were from the Northeast from the officers to the soldiers, who were not only fierce, but also quite experienced in combat.

After initially receiving head-on fire, leaving dozens of corpses in disarray, they not only did not flinch in the face of the machine guns, but quickly adjusted their attack patterns.

Soon, they dispersed their forces, and the Qing army used the safe area as a starting point, sending men on every street leading to the palace, taking advantage of the terrain to take turns attacking.

They quickly judged the numerical inferiority of the Ming army, and not only sent people to make a big circle to outflank the back garden of the palace from the north, but even in the frontal battlefield, they were able to use the cover of each house according to the characteristics of street and street battles, and took advantage of the gap in fire to jump and advance house by house.

Then, they either jumped out of the corner of the roof in turn, fired guns or crossbow arrows, or simply climbed onto the roof and used the cover of the roof ridge to fire at the Ming army, so as to cover their companions under the eaves.

In this way, Duan Zhenghong is a little big.

Although the Qing army's guns and birds, even the most advanced arquebuses, had a very limited range and lethality, and it was impossible to cause heavy casualties among the soldiers, the Qing army's tactics firmly dragged Duan Zhenghong's troops and lost their ability to maneuver.

And Duan Zhenghong only has a total of one platoon in his hands, except for a few reserve members, he can only arrange four or five people on each street.

What's even worse is that no matter how fierce the firepower of the machine gun is, compared with the field battle, in this narrow street, due to the loss of a good firing range, its power can not be brought into play, which greatly affects the hit rate of the soldiers.

Therefore, although the Qing army was unable to break through Duan Zhenghong's defense line for a while, it also formed a siege, and for a while, the two sides were deadlocked.

In the face of this situation, Duan Zhenghong was in a hurry.

Knowing that he could fight back on any street, maybe a charge could crush the Qing army, but without mobile troops, how dare he take risks.

The main force of the Qing army is behind, and if any street is broken, they will rush up, and at that time, the gate and wall of the palace are full of loopholes, and the captain will directly face the large Qing army.

There was really nothing to be done, so he simply didn't even want the reserves, gritted his teeth and sent the only half squad he had at hand in time, ordering them to repeatedly inspect the northeast side along the wall to prevent the Qing army from sneaking up.

Just when the soldiers patrolled to the east wall, a group of Qing troops outflanked the rear wall, and when they heard the gunshots, the soldiers turned back in time and rushed and beat fiercely, which drove the more than 100 Qing soldiers who attacked here out of the alley.

……

The intermittent gunfire continued for about an hour.

Listening to the sound of machine guns that kept firing short bursts, Lin Xiao was a little worried.

Looking at the situation, although Duan Zhenghong and they are already very economical in order to save bullets, how to defeat the Qing army blindly on defense, if this continues, there will be problems with ammunition sooner or later.

Of course, he knew that when there was really no way, Duan Zhenghong still had a killer weapon in his hand - mortar.

However, because of the street fighting in the urban area densely populated with private houses, he knew that Duan Zhenghong could not easily use mortars unless he had to.

Lin Xiao kept raising his wrist to look at his watch, silently calculating the amount of ammunition remaining in his heart......

Suddenly, a more violent gunshot came, and Lin Xiao's heart moved, this is, the third company that took the east gate is coming?

The situation on the battlefield was finally reversed, and under the outflanking counterattack of the third company, the main force of the Qing army was repulsed, and gradually, the gunfire went west......

Lin Xiao finally breathed a sigh of relief, now, the overall situation has been decided!

Now, with the main force of the third company, even if only two platoons of soldiers came, the strength of his troops had exceeded a hundred, if he didn't have to look at Shang Kexi's hostage, he even felt that he could counterattack Ximen!

Lin Xiao relaxed, but Shang Kexi's mood was not good.

it! This bunch of shit!

It's only been half an hour and it's not going to work?

Isn't this a messy operation, and the result is all to make wedding clothes for others?

Shang Kexi was discouraged, and at this moment, he thought of a thought - early death and early transcendence.

However, although he thought of several ways to die at once, none of them worked!

Self-slaughter? Bare-handed! Take poison? No......

Wall? Hands and feet tied! Biting your tongue and killing yourself? It hurts......

Why is it so hard to die......

……

When the east was white and the sky was just dawning, Xia Bomin's vanguard troops, two main companies, plus a reconnaissance platoon and a machine gun platoon, had already arrived.

Saving lives is like fighting fire!

Xia Bomin couldn't care about the soldiers who had been running for a long time, and they were extremely tired, and immediately launched a powerful offensive against the camp in the west of the city.

Because the battlefield was by the river outside the city, Xia Bomin had no scruples, and his first order was: "Machine gun platoon, bombard Lao Tzu fiercely!" ”

The bomb was still exploding, and the Qing army had just bombed the camp, and a main force company of more than 100 people, under the personal leadership of Xia Bomin, had already begun to force the crossing of the Pearl River.

Subsequently, Lin Xiao in the city also ordered Duan Zhenghong to immediately lead people to counterattack.

Under the attack from both sides, the main force of the Qing army, which was mainly composed of miscellaneous armies, finally collapsed in the Pearl River camp, and for a while, there were routs everywhere.

When Xia Bomin saw Duan Zhenghong, who was on the rise, the two immediately hugged each other, and then, the two brothers left their troops and hurriedly came to the palace, anxious to see Lin Xiao.
