Chapter 39: The Siege of the Wall

Xu Fengfei's voice also lowered, but there was a hint of mockery in his words: "Yes, Zhenhai transferred all his brothers' soldiers from Hongqiao, and if he doesn't get some results, he really doesn't know where to put his face." ”

Qu Zhenhan's brother is called Qu Zhenshan, after the uprising, Qu Zhenhan sent his brother to lead the team to guard Hongqiao's hometown, and now in order to attack Panshi Town, Qu Zhenhan transferred Qu Zhenshan and his two sentinel reserves, plus the two battalions in front and behind the middle camp, pieced together 13,400 people, and took the Panshi Village with one heart.

Liu Chang also had a further calculation: "What's more, there are dozens of cannons of all sizes in this rock village, and I heard that there are 5,000 catties of cannons, and it will take a lot of effort to take them." ”

Panshanzhai chokes the mouth of the Oujiang River, so although there are not many garrisons, but it is equipped with a lot of shore defense artillery, although the muzzle of most of the artillery is aimed at the mouth of the river, it is very difficult to turn the muzzle, but it is not Xu Fengfei and Liu Chang A few mountain splitting cannons can suppress, not to mention that although there are not many garrisons in this Panshizhai, but the fortifications are extremely strong, and you have to pay a considerable price to take it.

Xu Fengfei is also very smart: "Then we just need to surround the rock village tightly and not let anyone out, and the tactics of this rattan brand big gun have to be carefully taught by the inspectors." ”

Liu Chang comprehended: "I also have a large number of recruits here, so I just need to practice." ”

Qu Zhenhan heard that Xu Fengfei and Liu Chang joined forces to ambush the four hundred soldiers who came to help, and they won the battle and wiped them all, and now there are only four or five hundred soldiers stationed in the Panshi Village, so he immediately ordered the middle battalion to speed up.

In the evening, the whole Panshi village has been surrounded by water, a yellow flag has been planted, looking out from the inside of the village, everywhere are wrapped in four-foot red turbans of red turban soldiers, they carry swords, guns and shields, from time to time let out a cheer.

As Liu Chang expected, Qu Zhenhan immediately sent his brother Qu Zhenshan to lead a team to test the attack, and the guns and cannons on both sides were fired, each wounding several people.

Although he didn't take the Panshi Village, Qu Zhenshan told the truth in front of Qu Zhenhan: "If there are really only four or five hundred Qing demons in it, there will be no problem in winning it tomorrow!" ”

Qu Zhenhan nodded again and again: "Zhenshan, the elder brother has put the entire Zhongying in your hands, and you must give my brother a long face tomorrow!" ”

He said to Ge Mengjin next to him: "Fifth master! When the general attack is carried out tomorrow, I will also trouble your fleet to help, and I am ready for the remaining two thousand five hundred taels of rewards. ”

Ge Mengjin, a sea tycoon, immediately gave Qu Zhenhan a guarantee: "No problem, I'll let my lady strengthen it tomorrow, let's attack by land and water, not to mention five hundred Qing soldiers, even five thousand Qing demons are no problem." ”

Qu Zhenhan was still a little uneasy: "Zhenshan, you have kept an eye on me, and laid down Panshi Town, no matter what gold and silver mountains are in it, you will have your share." ”

"Brother, don't worry!" Qu Zhenshan is a few years younger than Qu Zhenhan, but he is also a hero in the recklessness, and his eyes are sharp: "Even if I can't take the rock village alive, I will die in the rock village." ”

Qu Zhenhan finally relaxed, and said to Liu Chang and Xu Fengfei again: "The left camp fought well in this battle, and broke one of the hands of the Qing Demon, so I will take a truce tomorrow to suppress the battle for Zhenshan." ”

This night, the Panshi Village was full of panic, Shi Dusi didn't expect that the rout of the Yueqing Association would be so useless, and the three hundred and seventy or eighty soldiers went out in less than an hour before the whole army was wiped out.

I knew that I wouldn't send them out, with them guarding the wall, how could I keep it for a few more hours, and then worse news came, the red turban thieves outside the village hung Chi Jiangong's head, and then showed the seized seals, flags, and clothes, and shouted loudly: "You are already a dead end, and Chi Jiangong's seven hundred demons have been annihilated by us......"

Many soldiers turned pale after hearing the news, and Shi Dusi used the back of his knife to cut people everywhere, repeatedly declaring: "That's the red turban thief spreading rumors, Chixie Town has made great achievements, and has been fighting horses for decades, how can it be impossible to clean up some small thieves, presumably it has already attacked the county seat......"

It's just that deep down in his own heart, he confirmed that Chi Jiangong's reinforcements had been destroyed, and now he could only try his best to keep a few more hours: "Recruit thirty dead soldiers for me tonight, sneak into the thief camp with Short-Yu, and you must take advantage of the thief's unstable foothold to kill a happy ......."

It's just that no matter how high the reward is, in the end only seventeen dead soldiers were recruited, and they took advantage of the night to go down the wall, and after a short time, there was a sound of fighting, and finally it fell silent again, and finally only two dead soldiers escaped.

It's dawn.

Liu Chang's dragon lance and Nanxi two outposts have already gotten up to practice, and now there is no need for Liu Chang to supervise, the veterans and officers have already played an exemplary role, and the artillery team and the brave team have also gotten up.

Xu Fengfei and Liu Chang stood in front of the formation and watched the rock village, Qu Zhenshan was not mediocre, and had already made a lot of siege equipment.

Xu Fengfei pressed Liu Chang's ear and said: "Last night, Shi Degong sent the dead out of the village, and more than a dozen brothers were killed and injured in the middle camp before defeating this team of demons. ”

Liu Chang nodded and said: "Panshi Village is a hard bone, I'm afraid I won't be able to take it down without killing and injuring some brothers, but fortunately it's not you and me who will attack." ”

"Kill!" Qu Zhenshan had already urged his subordinates to start attacking the village.

Although the name of Panshi Village is Zhai, it is actually a small city, and there are more than 1,000 light wall buttresses, but there are only more than 400 soldiers in the wall, plus two or three hundred old and weak people recruited by Shidu Division.

Both sides fired their guns in unison, and the large and small cannons opened fire together with the raised guns and bird guns, and after a while, the sound of cannons was also heard from the river, and it was Ge Wuye's fleet that began to bombard.

The sound of gunfire was endless, and the smoke of gunpowder was filled, but both sides hid behind bunkers and opened fire, but there were not many casualties, Liu Changzheng thought that Qu Zhenshan and Shi Dusi were going to continue to stage such a drama, but the situation on the battlefield changed.

Qu Zhenshan stood behind a mound of dirt and said to dozens of trusted brothers: "Our Qu family's country has to be fought by our Qu family, the eldest brother entrusted me with the Panshi Village, even if I die, I have to climb the Panshi Village, we can't embarrass our Qu family." ”

The strength of the clan sometimes exceeds the imagination of ordinary people, and these Qu clan disciples said together: "Speaking of which, this is our Qu family's country, and no one is allowed to retreat!" ”

Qu Zhenshan personally took a spear: "I'll personally lead the team to rush forward later!" Anyone with the surname Qu is not allowed to retreat, and they will rush us! ”

The battlefield was still full of gunfire, but the red turban thieves on the opposite side of the west wall suddenly had more than 100 shotguns, raised their guns, and fired at the wall with a burst of fierce fire, and then several artillery pieces roared at the same time.

The Qing soldiers on the wall of the wall were knocked down seven or eight people in one breath, and the rest of the people hid behind the wall battlements.

Shi Dusi shouted loudly: "Block this wave of red turban thieves' assault, I will reward two thousand taels, and I will open a reward of two thousand taels!" ”

Under the projectiles that came from time to time, the Red Turban Army suffered a lot of casualties, and more than a dozen people fell at once, but they also put the ladder on the wall of the wall, and immediately climbed up desperately.

The Qing soldiers who hid behind the battlement wall also resurfaced under the supervision of the officer, threw gold juice and masonry down vigorously, and pushed the ladder outward, so that the Red Turban Army killed and injured ** people, but now the Red Turban Army has rushed to the wall.

The two sides fought on the wall, and immediately stained this section of the wall red with blood.

Qu Zhenshan's soldiers really worked hard, they killed and injured more than a dozen people, but they occupied this section of the wall, and they were still rushing up desperately, but Shi Degong was also ruthless, and urged the soldiers to press over: "Three thousand taels of rewards, three thousand taels of rewards!" ”

Both sides had no room to retreat, so they could only fight to the death, and Qu Zhenshan shouted loudly on the wall: "Stay on top, I will come up in person!" ”

The casualties on both sides are getting bigger and bigger, and Xu Fengfei is also thrilled: "Fortunately, it wasn't us who came to attack the village!" ”

Up to now, the casualties on Qu Zhenshan's side have been nearly 100, and they have been reinforced three times or they are still squeezed on the wall, if he let his left battalion attack, it is estimated that he would have retreated long ago, and Qu Zhenhan's own soldiers are willing to work hard.

Liu Chang's capital is even smaller, and his two hundred and sixty or seventy people are all precious seeds, and they can't be wasted on this kind of difficult battle: "It depends on whether Qu Zhenshan is willing to pay the capital!" ”

Qu Zhenshan had already shouted loudly: "Rush! Rush! Give me all rush! ”

The whole middle battalion of 1,304 people roared, yellow flags waved one after another, and hundreds of soldiers wrapped in red turbans roared and rushed forward, setting up ladders and rushing towards the rock village.

Liu Chang nodded with relief: "It seems that Qu Zhenshan has made a lot of money, so it's good to ......."

Panshizhai has taken it!
