[30] The siege continued
Five hundred paces away in front of Maozuikou Yanzhai Village, more than 400 strong men were digging trenches diligently, including 100 workers from the Haiyang New Army, some military households from Dashansuo and Rushanzhai, and the rest of the combat troops were waiting in front of the trench with weapons in hand.
Niu Ziming is a general banner under Zhao Lianli, he wears rusty chain mail, wears an equally rusty butterfly-shaped iron helmet, holds the old unwielding Yanling knife in his hand, and leads fifty military households to stand beside the Haiyang New Army. He glanced at the Haiyang Army soldiers standing aside. They wore knee-length red jackets with cotton tucked into narrow sleeves, a standard hood on their heads, and a tin skirt and net pants below the waist, and tin mesh boots on their feet. Although he is holding a simple knife in his hand, he is still majestic. This is a line that only 100 households, and 100 households who deduct the food and salary of military households, can afford it. Look at the spearmen standing in front of these soldiers, wearing saucer-shaped iron helmets with chain mail on both sides. He was wearing armor made of a single sheet of metal, polished to a shiny finish that dazzled in the sunlight. Looking at the three blonde-haired, blue-eyed, tall and tall Hongmaoyi not far away, they were also wearing armor and holding big swords that were almost as long as their chests, and there were dozens of firecrackers standing next to several Hongmaoyi, and the firecrackers knew at a glance that they were brand new
"That Song Qianhu is really rich, and he can actually hire Hongmaoyi to fight for him~"
Niu Ziming looked at Xu Erduo standing beside him again, a military attache costume was obviously new, and the Yanling knife in his hand was made of fine iron at a glance, and Xu Erduo had a ruddy complexion, and his mouth was a little oily, obviously the food was good.
"Niu Ziming, the chief banner of the Inspection Department of Xiarushan, this brother ~ what is he called~" Niu Ziming asked
"In the next two more ~"
"What is the official position of the brother?"
"General Flag~"
"People are the general flag, and I am also the general flag, why are people living so nourishingly?" Niu Ziming looked at Xu Erduo with envy, "Brother Xu~you~~~" Niu Ziming just wanted to ask a few more words, but suddenly heard someone shouting in front of him: "The salt lord is here~~"
As soon as he heard this, the military household of the Rushan Inspection Division, who had had a painful experience, unconsciously took a step back. The military households of the Great Mountain Station had never fought with the salt lords, but they saw more than a hundred salt lords with weapons in their hands, roaring and rushing over under the leadership of a big man, and their feet slowly moved back unconsciously
Only the soldiers of the Hai Duong New Army showed a hint of excitement, perhaps with confidence, or it may be that the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. I only heard Xu Erduo shouting loudly: "Brothers, I said a long time ago, I really fought a fight, after ten days of practice, whether our blood and sweat in the past few months have been in vain today, we have to see the real chapter under our hands~"
"Roar~~~" The soldiers of the new army shouted
"Musketeer preparation~~" Michelle shouted loudly, although those musketeers are Chinese, although Michel's sentence "musketeer preparation" is always in French, a few months of stopping, the soldiers have long heard the conditioned reflex, as long as they heard Michel shout this words, the fifty musketeers immediately raised the musketeers in their hands in unison, and aimed the muzzle of the black hole at the salt barons who were running wildly and screaming.
However, the flintlock pistols used by musketeers are still smoothbore guns, and the manufacturing speed and cost of spiral rifling guns are too high, with the current equipment and craftsmanship of the Hai Duong Ordnance Institute, only ten were made in two months.
The salt lords rushed to a distance of about eighty paces from the front of the Haiyang army, and Michelle, who was holding a Western sword, still gave the order in French, "Shoot~"
Pap Pap ~~~ Pap ~~ Pap
The musketeers began to fire in a volley according to the familiar three-column firing method
Since Yu Sheng defected to Liu Chao, he has fought with officers and soldiers many times, and this is the first time he has seen officers and soldiers come with firearms. After the officers and soldiers released their guns, Yu Sheng only heard a soft sound from his shoulder~poof~ At the same time, a sharp pain spread from his shoulder to all sides. Yu Sheng looked down and saw that a bloody hole appeared in his right shoulder, and blood was pouring out
"This little injury is nothing~~" Yusheng gritted his teeth and held back the pain, "Brothers, fight with these dog officials~~"
"Kill~~"
In fact, the round lead bullets fired by the smoothbore gun have a limited degree of damage to the human body, as long as they do not directly hit the vital point, they will not be immediately fatal, and the person who is hit can still fight with a knife. So, after a few volleys, although nearly thirty salters were hit, half of them just shook their bodies and continued to rush forward
Fifty steps
Pap Pap Pap ~ Pap Pap ~ ~ Pap
Another burst of gunfire rang out, and Yu Sheng, who was about to engage with the officers and soldiers, felt as if he had been stabbed twice in the chest and lower abdomen, and the pain was unbearable.
"The owner of the village~~" Yu Sheng unwillingly grabbed the ground tightly with his hands, and dug up a handful of loess, his pair of copper melon hammers that had made the officers and soldiers in the Denglai area frightened had not come in handy, he was unwilling to die like this, but this was not up to him
Seeing that the fish was broken, the salters suddenly panicked, "The fish is alive and dead~~The fish is alive and dead~~" The salters, who were still fierce and vicious, seemed to have lost Optimus Prime, and fled towards the salt village in a panic
"That's it?" Zhao Lianli, who was watching the battle on a horse, was stunned for a long time before coming back to his senses, "This is the end?" He couldn't help but ask again
Song Youliang didn't think there was anything strange about it, he had much more powerful military technology than the salt lord, and the overwhelming difference in strength could destroy some of the so-called spirits that were not afraid of death. "Uncle~~ There will be more and more such victories in the future~~"
When the moon came out, the officers and soldiers completed the construction of the fortifications, and Liu Chao's access on land was completely blocked, and at the same time, Haiyang, Rushan, and Dashan sent a large number of armed fishermen to blockade the sea and land together with the Navik, and Liu Chao completely became a turtle in the urn.
The workers of the Haiyang Institute set up the pot early and began to cook dinner for the combat troops, and large pieces of pork tumbled up and down in the soup, and bursts of meat aroma wafted out. The soldiers of Hai Duong walked in front of a few men, each holding a large white bowl in his hand, first a thick bowl of wheat porridge, then a piece of wheat cake with vegetable filling, and finally a piece of pork the size of a palm. Although it is not abundant, it is definitely satisfying.
"Everyone who is a soldier has meat to eat?" The soldiers of Rushanzhai and Dashan Institute drooled when they saw it, compared to other people's food, the multigrain cakes in their hands were dry and hard, like the soles of shoes.
"Yo~Brother Xu, what about dinner~" I don't know when, Niu Ziming appeared next to Xu Erduo
"Ah~Eat~~" Xu Erduo took a firm bite of pork, and the lard smeared his lips shiny
Niu Ziming swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "I heard that you Song Qianhu and our Zhao Patrol are relatives~"
"Ah~" Xu Erduo nodded, "Why are you asking this?" ”
"That's what I asked~" Niu Ziming continued to swallow his saliva
In the big tent of the Chinese army in Haiyang, Song Youliang, Zhao Lianli and Xia Minghao were eating together. In the middle of the tent was a thick hemp cloth, on which was a makeshift table. On the table are dried fish, capers, shredded greens, alfalfa soup, roast rabbit and large pieces of braised pork hind legs, and a wooden barrel with fragrant white rice on the table.
Xia Minghao couldn't help but say: "Youliang, if you are not afraid of your jokes, in the past, only during the Chinese New Year, my brother-in-law was willing to make such a table of dishes~~" As he spoke, he picked up a large piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth
Zhao Lianli picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks, slowly put it in his mouth, and chewed it carefully. He has a little more money than Xia Minghao of the Dashan Institute, after all, he is still in charge of a Rushankou port, and he has some sampan money to collect every year. Zhao Lianli ate by himself and replied that this level is not difficult. To Zhao Lianli's surprise, ordinary soldiers in Haiyang Qianhu could eat meat.
Song Youliang smiled and said, "Uncle, brother-in-law, when we solve the salt owl, I will hand over my method in Haiyang to my uncle and brother-in-law." When the time comes, the two of you will definitely do better than me, everyone will make money and make money together, this is a family~~~"
"Yes, yes~~Family~Family~~" Zhao Lianli and Xia Minghao's heads were full of imagination and longing for the future
At this time, Zhang Shi entered the big tent and whispered to Song Youliang, saying that after the soldiers of Rushanzhai and Dashan Institute smelled the smell of meat, they found all kinds of excuses to come across the camp to rub meat and eat it.
Zhang Shishi was born with a loud voice, although Zhang Shishi tried to keep his voice low while taking care of the faces of Zhao and Xia, but Zhao Lianli and Xia Minghao still heard it, and the two glanced at each other, so they were not embarrassed. Zhao Lianli hurriedly stood up and scolded: "This group of hungry ghosts are reincarnated, I'll clean them up~~"
"Uncle and slow~" Song Youliang said with a smile: "We all ate at the same table, why are you and I so clear about each other?" Saying that, Song Youliang said to Zhang Shi: "Wear the order, share our food with friendly troops, everyone is harmonious~~"
"Be kind to a group~~" Xia Minghao and Zhao Lianli also laughed together
