Chapter 338: Sniping
Zheng Xiu'e sighed: "Alas! All this is a later story, and it must be the husband's contribution to return home safely before it can become a reality.
Fujun is the spiritual pillar of the Huang family and the 'Red Flag Army', and everything will get better and better with him.
Therefore, sister, you can't be greedy for merit when you go to Jinzhou, you must always take a good look at your husband.
I heard that he must personally charge into battle in every battle, you must persuade him not to do this anymore, he wants to command thousands of troops and horses, how can he still take the lead like a low-level official? ”
In fact, Qin Yanyi is also a fierce general, and she is also brave in battle.
She also likes the feeling of being hearty. She liked that it didn't mean that she supported her husband in doing so, because she knew the dangers of doing so.
Qin Yanyi solemnly said: "Sister, don't worry, I went to the army not only to personally persuade my husband not to risk his life, but also to ask Yang Dalang, Song Pengfei, Wang Zhanpeng, Yang Guoen and other generals to watch my husband, if I find that my husband is personally charging into battle, all the generals who accompany me will be held accountable." ”
"So I'm relieved, sister, you have to take care of yourself, the road is still long, and the Huang family is just around the corner.
If the war is difficult, remember to take a step back and open the sky, leaving the green mountains in the most important place, we must not fight out the family foundation, our family is not short of money and food now, as long as there are 'Red Banner Army' veterans as the team, as long as there is training time, it is only a matter of time before the army makes a comeback. ”
Qin Yanyi nodded and said, "Sister, I'm awake, if I don't feel good, I won't fight to the death, and I will definitely pull my husband back from the front line." ”
Qin Yanyi did not walk with Liu Zhilun and Chengquan.
First, because Liu Zhilun and the others were going to Lushunkou, and second, because Qin Yanyi was going to bring six twelve-pound and eight six-pounder field guns that had passed the test, and it was estimated that they would set off two days late.
The arsenal newly shipped 300 bird guns, 300 self-generated guns, and 24 mini guns, and Qin Yanyi left four mini guns to equip Qin Rong and Ma Lanhua, and left 100 bird guns to equip the new female soldiers, and the rest were all loaded.
The self-generated gun is also a flintlock gun, and now the quality tends to be stable, and the firing rate is gradually increasing, during this time, the arsenal has adjusted the proportion and gradually reduced the proportion of the bird gun to increase the production of the self-generated gun, and the production of the bird gun will be stopped next year.
The harbor of Fort Wolf's Den was under construction, and Qin Yanyi was not sure if she could provide a port for horses and ships and allow cavalry to land, and she still had six twelve-pounder field guns with the heaviest cannon body of more than 800 catties after disintegration to land.
Therefore, Qin Yanyi decided to go to see if the port of Wolf's Den Fort could meet the needs of cavalry and artillery to go ashore, and if it was really not possible, she would choose to go to Lushunkou to unload.
19 August was the day when Huang Han, Fang Zhenghua, Huang Long, Li Ruolian, and others led their cavalry northward, and the burden of defense on the entire Jinzhou front fell on the five-man regiment composed of Song Pengfei, Jin Sheng, Zhao Kun, Zheng Xiaowen, and Gao Youmou.
Three of the five people are all scholars or above, Jin Sheng is even more remarkable because he was born in the Hanlin Academy, and even Song Pengfei's adjutant Zhao Kun is a scholar who has passed the children's examination.
Only Song Pengfei has only read books for less than two years, and he still learns practical knowledge from Huang Han, which is completely different from the four books and five classics read by Jin Sheng, so Song Pengfei and Jin Sheng can't talk together.
When they got together to deal with official business, Jin Sheng and Zheng Xiaowen talked about the splendid article, and Song Pengfei felt particularly awkward, and often at this time he simply went to the front line to deploy defense.
Digging trenches, building earth walls, and planting dark piles were in full swing, and Song Pengfei found that the number of lookout posts was too small and the height was insufficient, so he ordered Xiang Chengliang to quickly dispatch sappers to build lookout posts at a distance of two miles from the Jinzhou city wall, and the height must be one zhang higher than the Jinzhou city wall.
Three days later, Song Pengfei could finally clearly look at Jinzhou City, which was two miles away, from the lookout posts in different directions.
Due to the siege of the Ming army but not attack, the city of Jiannu these days a lot of relief, the siege has been ten days, Jinzhou should have prepared the city defense materials have long been in place, now there are no soldiers and civilians busy, only to see a team of patrol soldiers Ding lined up.
It was not Song Pengfei's usual style for the two armies to be peaceful, and after observing Zhao Kun and a dozen officials for a few days, he decided to send all the first-class shooters of the Minnie guns to lurk about 200 steps away from the Jinzhou city wall to snipe the defenders at the head of the city, creating a terrifying atmosphere for Jiannu.
At midnight on 24 August, thirty sniper squads, each of exactly one man, with one sniper and four musketeers with self-generated guns, carried with them three loaded Minnies and four self-generated guns.
The snipers are a selection of thirty people from the first-class shooters, and they are definitely the best of the best, and everyone can use the Minnie gun to score more than nine rings at a distance of about 200 paces.
The defenders of Jinzhou should remember this unforgettable day, because there is nothing special about this night, and after midnight, there will be a big difference, and in the sound of guns from time to time, there will always be a child of the Eight Banners who loses his life.
It was pitch black outside the city, and I didn't know where the Ming army was. "As soon as there is a sound, there will be a Jiannu who will fall in response.
It's too terrifying, Jiannu was blocked for the first time and didn't know how to deal with it, they knew that they would be protected by hiding behind the bunker, but everyone hid and didn't dare to show their heads, no one observed the movement outside the city, in case the Ming army quietly touched up and launched a surprise attack, wouldn't it be an instant to lose the city?
The gunfire rang out all night, until the sky was slightly bright, the soldiers and civilians in Jinzhou City stayed awake all night, everyone was struggling with dark circles, and the soldiers and civilians who had planned the city in advance were on standby under the city wall.
In the morning, Nahai received a loss report, nearly 100 people were killed and wounded last night, and there were more dead and less wounded, there were 17 regular soldiers killed on the spot, four seriously injured, the Han army was cunning and knew how to dodge firearms, only three people died, and the eldest child who was mobilized to defend the city lost the most and died the youngest thirty.
Because it has not reached the point where it is necessary to go into battle, there are no more women involved in the transportation of the city in the past few days, and there are no women on night patrols, so there are no female casualties.
Nahai was sweating, and he had never seen such a war. If this continues, how can this city be defended, and who will dare to patrol the city at night?
A group of Houjin officers urgently gathered together to discuss countermeasures, and they couldn't get the point, but at this moment, they heard the sound of guns coming from afar.
After a while, a Bashiku hurriedly came to report, "My lord, the Ming army is sneaking up again, and more than a dozen of our army have been killed. Now that the situation is good or not, the warriors are reluctant to go to the city, for fear that they will be beaten and killed by the Ming army in a daze. ”
How to spend the night has not yet been discussed, and the day is almost unbearable! The group of Jiannujia looked at each other, and their faces were as earth-colored.
