Chapter 530 The enigmatic young man

After scolding, He Shouxin looked back and looked around.

Here, on the flank of the main position, about three miles from the riverbank.

Two miles behind him, there was another river, the Baodai River, and not far from the bank was his headquarters, where the boats carrying them stopped there.

Supposedly, this is not the main direction of attack of the Tartars - if you want to regain control of the four rivers, the main position next to the river bank is the place to be taken.

It seems that there is no way to break through head-on, Ma Jinbao is going to rely on the strength of the crowd to engage in tactical outflanking......

Thinking of this, He Shouxin ran out of the fortifications with his carbine, and ran quickly to the right along the sand barricades - he wanted to check his position again.

"Don't panic, hit when you get closer!"

Along the way, he kept reminding.

The Zheng army, which was urgently reinforced, had all entered the fortifications, and there were about six or seven soldiers in each sand base, which was slightly crowded at once.

It seems that the military discipline of this Zheng army is very good, and most of the soldiers are experienced in battle.

Although they were only about 100 people, they did not show panic in the face of the menacing enemy army, and they were ready to rush out to fight at any time with swords and guns.

He Shouxin also saw that there were a few firecrackers who looked a little funny.

They followed the example of their warriors, and were leaning over the sand with arquebuses in their arms, and despite the smoke from the arquebus, they bowed their heads in a look of aim......

"It's all good soldiers!"

The corners of He Shouxin's mouth hooked, and he couldn't help but praise.

However, he knew very well that in the face of so many Tartars, these hundred or so soldiers were actually of little use, although his own soldiers were few, but to repel the onslaught of the Tartars, he had to rely on them.

Although this is not the main position, he did arrange fewer soldiers - six people in the cooking squad, nine people in the machine gun squad, plus half of the scout squad he brought back, there are less than twenty people in total.

Among them, six of the nine fighters of the machine gun squad were artillerymen, and they were left in an artillery position dozens of meters behind them, unable to meet the Tartars.

In addition, there was an artillery observer, hiding in a high tree trunk, looking around with a sight......

However, the firepower on this side is actually not weak.

In addition to the fighters each having a carbine, he left a machine gun here, and the two mortars behind him could also be fired at any time to support.

After all, the position here is only about 300 meters wide, and compared with the main position, this density of firepower is not low......

There was a machine-gun position in front of him, and suddenly, he saw a figure.

This man was dressed in a long robe and carried a long knife in his hand, and he was behind a tree not far away, pointing and talking to a few people around him......

He Shouxin was taken aback - isn't this the "Master Gu"!

Isn't he supposed to stay at the Command Headquarters, how did he get out?

……

He Shouxin is not mistaken, this person is indeed a great writer - Gu Yanwu.

Originally, after last night's military meeting, He Shouxin asked Gu Yanwu to stay in the south of the city with Chen Liuyu's brigade, which was much safer than here.

However, this "Master Gu" was very stubborn, and he had to come to the west of the city with him, saying that his subordinates were familiar with the terrain and could make some efforts when they encountered any difficulties.

He Shouxin couldn't resist him, so he had to bring him over.

It's just that He Shouxin knew that he was very busy and didn't have any time to accompany him, for safety reasons, as soon as it was dawn, he ordered the secretary to accompany Master Gu and his entourage and stay at the command headquarters.

In this way, Gu Yanwu and his four or five buddies had to sit obediently in this small cabin, and wanted to go out to watch several times, but they were politely and resolutely stopped by the little officer who called himself "Secretary General".

The wooden house had no windows, and the light inside was not very good, the sky was bright, and there were oil lamps on the simple wooden tables.

When the cannon of the Tartars rang out, the cabin shook from time to time, perhaps feeling the atmosphere of the great battle, and the flames of the oil lamps flickered in the vibrations......

Looking at the flames boringly, Gu Yanwu's heart was a little nervous.

In fact, his real idea that he must come with him was that he felt that this young officer surnamed He had underestimated Ma Jinbao and the tens of thousands of Tartars in Yangzhou City.

When he held a meeting last night to discuss the enemy's situation, Gu Yanwu had been looking at this young man and the legendary "Heavenly Divine Soldier" he led......

This person is dignified and talented, but he is in his early twenties, and he is in command in the face of a big war, and at first glance, he has the demeanor of a famous general.

In front of so many officers, he arranged a battle in an orderly manner, not only did no one question his decision, but even Zheng Jun, the deputy general surnamed Chen, seemed to obey him......

What made Gu Yanwu even more strange was that this person's whole body was dressed like he had never seen before.

Unlike those officers of Zheng Jun, the uniform worn by this man and his subordinates was a "flowery" tight-fitting short coat, and the background color of the short coat was even more strange grass green.

It's unheard of!

However, they all wore a belt around the waist of their short coats, which seemed to be very energetic, and on that belt was a short gun with a holster.

The lower half of their bodies only wore a pair of pants, as if in their eyes, those horse coats, cotton armor and so on were useless at all.

In addition, on such a hot day, the pair of leather boots on their feet looked well-made and very strong......

Just now, Gu Yanwu was extremely bored, and he looked at the "secretary" with great interest.

This little officer's dress is much the same, but he also wears a vest with various pockets, and the pockets are full, Gu Yanwu estimated that it must be full of guns and gunpowder.

The firearm in this person's hand made him even more puzzled - it was said to be a firearm, but the appearance of this long gun was so strange and strange.

On this gun, there is no fire rope, no flint, and I don't know how it was made, and the black body of the gun is almost not bright, and the section of the gun tube in the front section is extremely thin and very fine......

In short, this group of mysterious young people in front of him not only confused Gu Yanwu, but also aroused his great interest.

In his opinion, this officer surnamed He, with a total of only a few dozen people on hand, was so bold that he brazenly decided to block Shuiximen.

He wanted to see with his own eyes how these young people in front of him blocked the west gate of the water and blocked the way of the tens of thousands of Tartars in Yangzhou City......

However, after last night's battle, Gu Yanwu saw the strength of this group of people for the first time, and he had a little confidence - after a bag of cigarettes, a few flowering bombs bombed over, and the tartars on the dock ran clean......

This time, Shuiximen is really completely blocked!

It seems that these usually vicious and pretentious dog Tartars are estimated to have suffered a big loss at the hands of this gang of "bright thieves", so they ran away as soon as they met.

However, Gu Yanwu knew very well that this was just the beginning.

The way to life is blocked, Ma Jinbao must not give up, and the bloody battle is still to come.

"I hope this young man is really not another horse ......"

Gu Yanwu silently recited this sentence repeatedly in his abdomen.
