Chapter 111: Trial Attack

"Then let's go to the county seat! Shi Huiji pointed to a big city in the distance and said: "Commonly known as Anyang City, check and see, here is the ...... of the Jiangkou"

After the battle between Chashan and Nanbaixiang, the dragon spear battalion captured some riding horses, and now Liu Chang can finally ride on a very tame Mongolian horse, but his riding skills are too bad, Shi Huiji personally came up to help lead the horse: "Check, after taking the county seat, please be merciful, our Shi family ancestors were born in Rui'an, grew up in Rui'an, but I don't want the villagers to curse my tombstone for hundreds of years." Liu Chang felt that riding on a horse was more torturous than walking, but he also knew that he could overcome the riding level, so he overcame the discomfort of sitting on the horse and said, "No problem, I have always been very talkative."

You're a big willow, it's strange that you can talk well! It's just that Shi Huiji only dared to lead the horse honestly, but Liu Chang slapped his thigh: "Retirement, you really think of a good way, the three thousand houses and shops outside the city have not moved at all, great!" ”

With more than 3,000 buildings as a backing, it is much more convenient to attack the city, Shi Huiji didn't expect his ghost idea to be able to calculate Sun Qiangming: "What's going on?" Although Sun Hanlin reads a lot, he is not the type of person who reads books and reads like a nerd! Liu Chang immediately glanced at it, and he understood, on the periphery of this circle of shops and houses, the militia and the green battalion soldiers built a simple line of defense: "It turned out that he was going to hold on to this outer city, and Sun Qiangming was a little ......bold."

With the strength of the defenders of Ruian City, it is already quite reluctant to defend the county town with a circumference of 1,100 zhang, and if it is even garrisoned in this outer city, I don't know how many troops will be consumed, but Liu Chang immediately ordered: "Send a platoon to the dragon spear sentry and let Shi Yunqing go up and rush!" ”

Liu Chang gave an order on the horse, and the dragon lance whistle immediately dispatched thirty firing guns, and Shi Yunqing's forward team immediately began a tentative attack under the cover of the dragon lance whistle.

The Hua people rushed towards a stone wall in the north of Chengguan, but they only rushed for more than 30 steps, and countless white cloth regiments suddenly poured out of the opposite stone wall, beating gongs and drums and shouting loudly: "The red thief is here!" Shi Yunqing was also a real outlaw, although he saw that the regimental warriors on the opposite side were several times more than already square, but he waved the yellow flag and commanded his forward team to continue to advance.

Soon, the opposite side set up a shotgun, raised the gun and fired a bullet, Shi Yunqing unceremoniously fired back, and then the platoon of the dragon gun whistle joined the battle, as soon as they opened fire, they caused some casualties in Tuan Yong, but soon Tuan Yong lurked under the stone wall, jumping out from time to time to fire a bullet.

This trial attack came to an end for the time being, and then Liu Chang tried to attack from the other two directions, but was blocked by hundreds of soldiers, and was forced to retreat to the same place after advancing not far away.

Soon Shi Huiji got a message that he couldn't believe: "Sun Qiangming has deployed half of his troops outside the city, will we meet so many regimental braves!" According to the news that Shi Huiji obtained from the dead party in the city, since the rumor that Sun Qiangming wanted to put the 3,000 houses and shops outside the city into fire, the residents of the county who had a relevant interest immediately fought for the county magistrate and the green camp guards, and handed money everywhere, and finally Sun Qiangming had to agree to include these houses and shops outside the city in the scope of defending the city, but asked that once the city pass could not be defended, it would be set on fire immediately, so these residents also spontaneously organized a number of regimental exercises to guard their homes.

"Now there are 3,000 soldiers guarding outside the city, and we dare not attack from any direction, we will be attacked by a large number of soldiers!" Shi Huiji said: "Don't be careless about inspections. ”

Liu Chang pointed to the Chengguan in front of him and asked, "How are the three thousand regiments in front of you compared to the Qing Demon when they encountered in Chashan?" "Those are all carefully selected elite soldiers from the city, compared to these hastily recruited regimental bravery, they are incomparable!"

"Nope! Although the benefits of the equipment are not as good as the Qing Demon of Chashan, but with the back of the homeland, there is no way back, and the courage is especially three points! It's just that Liu Chang changed his words: "But with this brave spirit, can a few stone walls block my dragon spear battalion?" ”

Shi Huiji nodded: "Naturally, it can't be stopped!" "So" Liu Chang stopped the horse carefully: "Let the brother set up camp, and the leading work will be handed over to Qu Zhenhan!" "Give it to the Red Turbans?" Shi Huiji had some questions: "We don't fight?" ”

Between Chashan and Nanbaixiang, the invincible image of the dragon spear battalion impressed him too deeply, and he did not think that these 3,000 regiments could rely on such a few hastily constructed defense lines to block the attack of the dragon spear battalion, especially their dense formation, which was simply the best target for the artillery team's mountain splitting artillery bombardment.

"We've made enough of the limelight this time!" Liu Chang had already thought clearly: "Don't steal the limelight from Qu Zhenhan for the time being!" The brigade of the Red Turban Army arrived only half a day later than the Dragon Lance Battalion, but when they saw Liu Chang stop attacking, they also set up camp, and it was not until Qu Zhenhan came to the battle line that they decided to attack the city tomorrow.

It was only the news that Liu Gongrui came from the sea that night, which slowed down the offensive of the Red Turban Army for a day, and knew that on the morning of the third day, the fleet of *5 sailed to Ruian City, fired a few cannons towards Ruian County, and then landed downstream to join Qu Zhenhan.

Several guns equipped on the ship were temporarily dragged down and laid out outside the east gate, putting a lot of pressure on the defenders, and Qu Zhenhan also took out his middle camp, but this time Liu Chang saw a small group of flintlock musketeers.

This is Qu Zhenhan pressed all the capital, Ge Wuye's artillery was responsible for bombardment, his newly acquired sixteen flintlock pistols were issued to his own clan children for centralized use, and he also pulled up his most trusted middle camp to attack.

The battle between the two sides was bloody from the beginning, first by the Red Turban Army and Ge Wuye's artillery team to launch a joint bombardment, opening several gaps in the stone wall in front of them, and then the rattan big gun blocked the card, followed by the shotgun team and the flintlock team.

The morale of the regimental warriors was very high, and they braved the rain of bullets and bullets of the Red Turban Army, shouting loudly, firing shotguns, guns, earth cannons, and even bows and arrows.

Seeing the white flags waving vigorously on the stone wall, Liu Chang had a mysterious feeling, but Shi Huiji next to him leaned forward half a body and a half: "It's a good fight!" ”

He secretly thought: "Liu Jiehu is really Liu Jiehu, if he took the initiative to attack the city the day before yesterday, there would definitely be no good fruit to eat!" ”

The initial shootout between the two sides evolved into hand-to-hand combat, the two sides fought repeatedly in a short section of the stone wall, the most critical section of the stone wall, the Red Turban Army first planted the yellow flag, and then the regimental courage desperately planted the white flag, and the Red Turban Army paid the price of more than ten dead and wounded to re-erect the yellow flag, but the yellow flag did not last long and then changed to the white flag again.

Tuan Yong continued to put the new forces into it, looking in the direction of Qu Zhenhan, now this section of the stone wall is already a pool of blood, the artillery team has stopped shooting for fear of accidental injury, but the newly purchased flintlock pistols have played a mainstay role in the chaotic situation, the big spearmen escorted the flintlock pikemen, firmly occupied a section of the stone wall, Tuan Yong launched a counterattack several times, but was crossed before he could get close.

Liu Gongrui looked at the dead and wounded many Red Turban soldiers, and he couldn't bear it anymore, he poked his head and asked, "Qu Shuai, do you want to ask the dragon lance post to go up and solve the battle!" ”

Qu Zhenhan's face became ugly, but he made up his mind: "Such a section of stone wall, our Red Turban Army can solve it by ourselves, no matter how many casualties there are, we must take it alone!" ”

The two sides fought fiercely for nearly a quarter of an hour, and the stone wall was full of wounded and corpses, and the Red Turban Army finally planted yellow flags all over this stone wall, and the white cloth regiment retreated like a tide.

Qu Zhenhan breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the flintlock pipers in the middle of the stone wall, although he couldn't see clearly, he could vaguely see that they were covered with blood: "This foreign gun is really good, it's just too expensive, but no matter how expensive it is, we have to buy dozens of more guns, and we will have a big action next!" ”

Liu Chang didn't see Tuan Yong fighting so tenaciously with his back against the stone wall, he asked Shi Huiji: "You Ruian's Tuan Yong, all have this level?" ”

"Why!" Shi Huiji shook his head: "If you can fight until half of the dead and wounded and then retreat, this must be the Sun family's own group bravery!" I'll help the inspector find out! ”

This is indeed the Tuan Yong organized by the Pangu Sun family, and half of the Tuan Yong is composed of residents outside the city, behind this is their homeland, so the battle is extremely tenacious, the Tuan Yong guarding the stone wall is only 500 people, but there are as many as 200 corpses and serious wounded on the battlefield.

The Red Turban Army also suffered heavy casualties, it is said that only seven of the sixteen flintlock musketeers were still fighting power, and after the whole battle, sixty were killed and one hundred and thirty wounded, which was almost the same as the losses of the defenders, but after such a large casualty, Qu Zhenhan still sent Liu Gongrui to inform Liu Chang: "Tomorrow will still be pressed by the dragon spear sentry at the inspection point, and our Red Turban Army will attack!" ”

Liu Gongrui's face had a feeling of raising eyebrows, and he even rejected Liu Chang's plan to send a rifleman to assist in the attack: "This time to attack Ruian City, there are Western cannons borrowed from Ge Wu, and they can bombard dozens of regiments of Yong with one shot, today is just a trial, and tomorrow will be the main show!" ”

After speaking, his walking pace became brisk, and when he walked away, Qu Jie snorted: "Without our dragon spear battalion, how could the Red Turban Army hit Ruian City, check, this is the time when they learned from Panshi Village, and they ate alone!" ”

"They eat alone, they eat alone!" Liu Chang said without hesitation: "When we finish fighting Ruian City, let's go back to Panshi Village directly!" Everyone knows what he means.

Now the combat effectiveness of the Red Turban Army has made great progress in actual combat, and it can win victory without relying on the Dragon Lance Battalion to make a final decision at the critical moment.

But on the other hand, the dragon lance battalion has also grown step by step, and there is no need to fight the banner of the Red Turban Army anymore.

It's time to break up.

I sent the second shift, asked for ticket support, and everyone smashed the monthly pass
