Chapter 181 Siege (Fourth Update, Ask for a Monthly Pass)
"That's the Red Thief! It's the Red Thief! ”
It's just that General Lin found out too late, there were forty or fifty brave people in this regiment that had just mixed into the city, although they were wearing uniforms, but now they were showing their true faces, and an officer shouted loudly: "Xu Mengchu, the time has come for you to make meritorious contributions!" ”
Although Xu Mengchu only joined the Red Turban Army today, he now shouted majestically: "Brothers, take down this Linhai City, we are also the Rainbow Army, and we are also the Old Rainbow Army!" ”
Strictly speaking, he still revolted on the battlefield, but today's performance was not bad, he actually killed more than a dozen green battalion soldiers of Chen Shizhong, avenging the three lives of their village, and now they held their weapons and rushed to the head of the city, trying to control the head of the city to receive the horse team of the red thieves into the city.
"Damn! Damn it! Zhang Yuzao was frightened, he didn't expect the matter in Huangyan County to repeat itself, this Liu Jue Hu is really a Liu Jue Hu, and all of them are desperate schemes.
It's just that as the prefect, he also shouted loudly: "Hurry, hurry!" Fast! There are only forty or fifty red thieves, and none of them are real red thieves! ”
Most of these forty or fifty regimental warriors who mixed in were real regimental braves, and the real rainbow officers and soldiers were only three or four people, all of whom were veterans of the cavalry battalion and the cattle knife battalion, and they had already played an exemplary role, and after firing a shot at the flintlock pistol in their hands, they stabbed directly at it.
And Xu Chumeng and the others behind them also knew that there was no way to retreat now, and they all rushed desperately to the city. As for the city gates. It's that I don't know what's wrong and can't close it.
The two sides started a battle on the ladder, and Xu Mengchu shouted even louder: "Brother Tuanyong, why do you bother to work for the Qing Demon, you have not been paid for twenty days!" ”
He tried to use this to shake Tuan Yong's determination, but it was obvious that Tuan Yong had just received the repaid salary, and he was satisfied, and shouted: "The old man just took the salary of Zhang Zhifu, how can he work for Zhang Zhifu!" ”
Someone's Tuan Yong is still saying: "That's right. Governor Zhang's mansion gave a reward of 30,000 taels and wiped out all these dozens of bandits, and we have 30,000 taels of silver! ”
It's just that they want to wipe out Xu Mengchu and his party on the ladder, which is also an extremely difficult thing, at this time, the shotgun at Hou Chengtou has already sounded on one side, and it is aimed at the galloping Hongjun horse team.
On the horse, Zhou Xiuying bowed down familiarly, and the bullets of the four flying bullets slid behind her, although the Qing army's array of guns was very dense, but the losses of the cavalry battalion could be said to be minimal.
With the shooting level of the Qing Legion's brave shotgun. It was almost impossible to hit these high-speed horses in the night, in fact, the Qing army began to shoot at the knights on the horses as soon as they saw the horses. But at this time the cavalry battalion was still out of range.
And now the horses of the cavalry battalion suddenly began to sprint, Zhou Xiuying held a saber in one hand and a revolver in the other, ready for battle at any time, and soon she rushed across the moat like a wind and was the first to enter the city.
Several Qing soldiers were stunned as a female red thief appeared in front of them. Just when they wanted to make a move, Zhou Xiuying had already raised her revolver and started shooting.
The rate of fire of the revolver gun is unparalleled high in any country in this time and space, and before these Qing troops even reacted, they had already been knocked down two, and then Zhou Xiuying, who had run out of guns and bullets, thrust the revolver gun into his belt, and killed the horse with a knife, and these Qing troops immediately scattered. …,
Then dozens of horsemen roared into the city. Some of them drove the Qing troops who arrived in person, and some of them saw the battle on the steps, and they had already picked up the flintlock pistols and firing pistols in their hands and began to shoot.
"First company, dismount!"
With Zhou Xiuying's order, except for a small number of horse stakes guarding the military horses, the whole person was already following behind Zhou Xiuying, and Zhou Xiuying gave the second order: "Get on the bayonet!" ”
She was already holding the horse chopping knife in her hand, which made people tremble at first sight, and was the first to rush up the steps, and the entire first company let out a cheer and followed closely behind Zhou Xiuying.
"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”
On the steps, Xu Mengchu's regimental courage had already been killed and wounded by the Qing army, and more than a dozen regimental warriors had fallen in blood and tears, and the brigade's Taiyong was trying to rush down, trying to suppress Xu Chumeng and them.
It's just that at this moment, Zhou Xiuying was the first to rush into the formation of Tuanyongzhong, only to see her slashing saber wave, there was already a good Qing army being cut into two pieces alive, Zhou Xiuying in the blood ** was not afraid, and with another coquettish shout, she rushed all the way up.
She waved one silver halo after another with her saber, but almost every time she turned around, a blood ** came out, and Governor Zhang was terrified when he saw it in the city, and asked repeatedly: "Where did the female thief come from?" So brave? Where did the female thief come from? ”
"This is Zhou Xiuying!" A regimental leader hurriedly said: "This is the woman who commands hundreds of horse teams of the thief army!" ”
"It turned out to be a thief from the Shanghai Knife Club, and he really lived up to his reputation!" General Lin Shen was already a little chilled: "Governor Zhang, let's retreat later!" ”
Zhou Xiuying's chopping knife waved again and again, it was actually a single enemy, Tuan Yong was terrified by her, not to mention the dense bayonet array behind, and immediately rushed upward, and with this momentum, Zhou Xiuying rushed to the city in one breath, and even more coquettishly: "Kill!" ”
"Kill!"
The entire first company rushed to the head of the city and shouted in unison: "Kill! ”
It's just that they only occupy a section of the city, but this is enough for them to cover the entry of the following troops into the city, and now there are one flexible figure after another under the city.
It was Lu Ziyun's Cattle Knife Battalion, and Lu Ziyun personally led the vanguard platoon to rush in: "Cattle Knife Battalion, you must rush to the front at any time!" ”
After a day of fighting, the Ox Knife Battalion had only two companies in control when it arrived at the city of Linhai, the artillery company and one infantry company were left behind, and the two infantry companies also suffered seventeen or eighteen casualties each, but the morale of the whole unit was still high.
Lu Ziyun even mobilized: "As long as we take Linhai City, we can also have a Linhai Company in our battalion!" ”
In the history of the Hongjun, the company named after the place name is only Nanxi Company, but Liu Chang has already spoken at this mobilization meeting, which company is the first to capture Linhai County, then it will be named Linhai City, even if it is an old company, it doesn't matter, you can add the two titles together.
And although the night was already dark from morning to night, the entire Ox Knife Battalion changed the battlefield as soon as it appeared, and General Lin was already a little desperate, so he sat directly on the ground and didn't speak.
However, Zhang Yuzao, the prefect, became active, and he shouted loudly to the Taiyong: "Press it immediately!" Press it up, and you have to beat the red thief out! ”
He could already see that there were only two or three hundred red thieves who had attacked the city now, a few, and the troops in his hands, including two thousand brave soldiers who had just been paid, and 1,400 guest troops, were enough for a battle.
"Double the reward, double the reward!" He commanded loudly: "As long as this red thief is sent out of the city, the reward will be doubled!" ”…,
Seeing that the Red Turban Army did not have many troops entering the city, these Qing troops also became bold, and they were all saying rewards: "Futai has a reward of 60,000 silver, and the reward is doubled, 60,000 taels of silver!" ”
Now there were only 3,400 soldiers in the city, and even if they were evenly distributed, they would receive about twenty taels of silver, and because of this reward, the soldiers became braver, and the two sides fought above and below the city.
Zhang Yuzao said loudly: "Transfer all the defenders of the other city gates, and transfer all the foot archers in the yamen!" We must get rid of this red thief! ”
He shouted to General Lin again: "Shen Rong, it's time for your 600 guest army to show their might!" ”
General Lin Shen smiled bitterly: "It's just a matter of doing your best!" ”
He knows much more than Governor Zhang, even if he guards Linhai City this time, this city will be given to the red thief sooner or later!
But he is also determined to do his best, why should he fight the Red Thief!
It's just a little bit of desperation.
……
The sun was about to set, and the entire Huangyan County fell silent.
Although it is said that the military discipline of the red thieves entering the city is acceptable, the implementation of military control that allows them to enter and not to leave has made many people a little dissatisfied, and the curfew that will be imposed at night has made everyone go home early.
Feng Sixian, as the supreme commander of the entire county, personally went up to the city with Gao Liangcai and Bai Shanye to inspect the city for a week.
"Judging from the news I have gotten, the main force of our soldiers has broken Chen Shizhong and chased all the way towards Linhai City!" Feng Sixian told the Kochi Mansion: "Shao Bingzhao, that thief, if he rushes to Linhai, he may become our prisoner." ”
"This man must not be kept!" Bai Shanye added: "I asked the brothers of the Dragon Lance Battalion to pay attention to this guy. ”
"Good!" Gao Liangcai also estimated: "Guan Jian is tonight and tomorrow, it is estimated that tomorrow Fucheng Keke, the day after tomorrow will be able to return to the teacher!" ”
"That's right, it's absolutely no problem the day after tomorrow!" Feng Sixian felt that he had enough capital in his hands: "Even if there are a thousand militia groups to attack, these five hundred soldiers in our city are enough to fight." ”
As he was talking, he heard a few sporadic gunshots in the west of the county seat, and then the gunfire suddenly intensified.
"What's going on?"
Although Bai Shanye was injured, his ears were very pointed, and he noticed it immediately: "There is a shotgun!" And flintlock pistols, it's our team! We have a lot of troops, too bad! ”
The flintlock pistol is still the exclusive equipment of the Rainbow Army, so Bai Shanye judged friend and foe based on the sound of gunfire, and he said loudly: "Oh no! ”
Feng Sixian didn't understand: "What's the matter?" ”
"There are gunshots from revolvers, at least several revolvers have guns, so many revolvers can only be the second company of Jintang!" Feng Sixian immediately said: "It's the second company of Jintang, it's the inspection that is back!" ”
ps: Although the fourth watch is a little late, it was delivered anyway, and I ask you for a monthly pass to support. )
