For the Qing army, the best tactical choice was to rush overnight and break through the Panshi Village in one go, but whether it was the general soldier Ye Bingzhong, or the guerrilla Zhuo Dalin of the right battalion, or the prefect Ruichun who did not know the soldiers, they all gave up this best choice.

They are very aware of the quality of their troops, not to mention running overnight, even if the night march does not fall apart, in fact, this night march, a team of 200 Qing troops almost walked to the road completely opposite to Panshi Village.

If they were allowed to run overnight, it would be good to be able to pull half of them to Panshi Village, and it was not until the sky was bright that Ye Bingzhong rushed to the vicinity of Panshi Village with a team of forwards.

The rock village composed of bluestone stands quietly by the river, the silence is terrifying, except for the sound of the river hitting the bank, no sound can be heard anymore, exuding a terrifying atmosphere towards the surroundings.

How many red turban thieves are there? Is the elite of the Red Turban Thief in it?

Ye Bingzhong stopped his reverie and hooked his finger towards Zhang Cheng, the capital of the city guard, and Zhang Cheng ran over: "I have seen Lord Zhentai under the mark, what do you command?" ”

Ye Bingzhong reprimanded: "Zhang Cheng, you left Vice General Chi and fled back alone, have you ever been guilty!" ”

Zhang Cheng kowtowed on the ground: "Lord Zhentai, you are really wronged, it is clear that Deputy General Chi asked the villain to lead the team back to ......"

Ye Bingzhong didn't have time to reprimand him, so he just shouted: "Give you a chance to make meritorious contributions, you lead a team of villagers to take down the Panshi Village for me, not only will I not hold you responsible, but I will also protect you from a guerrilla!" Go ahead! ”

Zhang Cheng hurriedly kowtowed a few times, and pushed twenty or thirty villagers to set up a ladder and go: "Give it to me, as long as you take down the rock village, you won't take the knife for three days!" ”

The sky is still cloudy and white, and it is impossible to see clearly from a distance, and the rock village finally has some sounds, so it is not that I know whether the thieves on the wall of the wall are on guard.

These twenty or thirty villagers set up ladders, and the cats walked forward lightly, for fear of alarming the thieves on the wall, they walked quite fast, and after a while, Ye Bingzhong only saw a row of black figures.

In addition to the sound of the river hitting the shore, Ye Bingzhong could also hear the sound of his heartbeat, there was no movement on the wall, seeing that the ladder could be set up, Ye Bingzhong clenched his fists, for fear of a mistake.

The ladder has been set up on the wall, Ye Bingzhong shook his fist hard, and was ready to let the rear team pick it up, the wind on the wall roared, and then many heads popped up, Ye Bingzhong couldn't help but be surprised.

"Woohoo! Woohoo! ”

There were a lot of shotguns set up on the wall, and they bombarded the villagers below, and the villagers who set up ladders were knocked down five or six at once, and the rest of the villagers saw that the situation was not good, so they turned down and ran.

However, the red turban thief's platoon gun was very sharp, and the figure of Xiang Yong became less and less, but it was Du Si Zhangcheng, who supervised the battle, who ran the fastest, and he had already run back in a few clicks: "Lord Zhentai, the thieves have an ambush!" ”

Ye Bingzhong said angrily: "I know, you lead the team to change a section of the wall and try again, and our brigade will come up later!" ”

It's just that Zhang Cheng's second temptation was faster than the first rout, and they were shot back by the shotguns in the village before they even rushed close to the wall.

On the wall, Huo Qiu was cheering up his brothers: "What the inspection said is right, as soon as the dragon lance whistle leaves, these cow ghosts, snakes and gods will all come out, don't be afraid, the dragon lance whistle is not there, and our Nanxi whistle!" ”

He didn't figure out the strength of the Qing army in person, and the remaining two rows of infantry in Nanxixi were also in a very high mood: "That's right, with our Nanxi outpost, there is no need to even transfer the white-headed team!" ”

Since Liu Chang led the main force of four infantry platoons to attack, the main force of the left-behind team dominated by Huo Qiu has been deployed in accordance with Liu Chang's plan

The south gate of Panshi Village is facing the river, and there are 3,000 jin and 5,000 jin cannons on the wall, so this section of the defense area does not have to worry too much, that is, the Qing army wants to land and has to take a lot of trouble, and it is the remaining three sections of the wall that need to be defended.

The west gate was handed over to the Nanxi sentry garrison, the north gate was Sun Huzi's brave team, and the east gate was in charge of the reserve with the weakest combat effectiveness.

Several teams ate and lived on the wall, and waited until Liu Chang came back with the main force before ending this state of preparation.

It's just that Liu Chang never expected that there would be a brigade of 1,500 Qing troops to attack Panshi Village, and in his plan, he only thought that at most there would be nearby township Yongtu Yong militia groups to attack Panshi Village.

It wasn't until the sky was about to dawn that Huo Qiu saw how many Qing troops there were in front of Panshi Village.

Before Panshi Village was a mighty brigade of Qing troops, a green flag in the east, a green flag in the west, how to count can not be counted, some people have recognized the banner of "Ruian Association Deputy General Wenzhou Town General Ye".

The green battalion soldiers wearing the uniforms were densely packed, and there were also the village warriors of the brigade in the front row, with swords, guns, rattans, and cards, all available, and a few small cannons were dragged up, which was very spectacular.

Huo Qiu was also shocked by this face, and said after a while: "I have only come here since some Tuyong, but I didn't expect that it was Ye Bingzhong, an old thief, who crossed the river in person, and now it is troublesome......"

"Relying on our two platoons of Nanxi Sentinel alone, there is no way to eliminate so many Qing Demon ......" he changed his words: "I have to give up some military merits to Sun Huzi." ”

As soon as they heard this, the officers and soldiers of Nanxi Sentinel were much more relaxed, although there were thousands of Qing demons on the wall, but they had also seen a big scene with Liu Checkpoint, and it was a fantasy to take the Panshi Village without a battle.

Some people also made fun of Sun Huzi: "Just because Sun Huzi also wants to take credit with our Nanxi Sentinel, our twenty flintlock guns are not vegetarian!" ”

Over there, Sun Huzi happened to come over and discuss countermeasures with Huo Qiu, and when he heard this from a distance, he said, "Our brave team is not vegetarian. ”

Immediately, someone ridiculed: "Sun Huzi, you are from the Green Battalion, and you think that today's group of Qing demons is almost certain to attack the wall!" ”

Sun Huzi was atmospheric: "Half of it is not sure, why!" My Sun Lixing is guarding here, no matter how many Qing demons attack, it is useless, and Lao Tzu has no way to retreat. ”

His words were a bit self-deprecating, but not only did he vote to Liu Chang, but he also didn't know how much blood of the Green Battalion soldiers was stained on his hands, and there was indeed no way out.

However, these words also have the meaning of showing their hearts, and everyone tacitly regards him as their own, but how to defend against the offensive of the Qing army, everyone has not yet formed a specific charter.

"Boom ......"

The sound of tearing the air has penetrated into everyone's ears, and the Qing army's mountain-splitting cannon has begun to test-fire, but it is too far away to be accurate at all, and the infantry team only began to test on a small scale, and was soon hit back by the shotgun on the wall.

Someone suggested: "It's better to transfer the white-headed team, the battalion team, and the women and children to the wall." ”

The biggest problem now is the lack of troops, the number of troops on the walled wall is less than 200 people, and the east side with the largest number of troops is only more than 70 people in the reserve team plus the artillery team, and there are only 50 or 60 people in the other two sections.

However, now there are more than 300 people in the rock village, and all of them can increase more than 100 combatants, of course, God knows how useful it can be, so Huo Qiu thought about it for a while and made a decision: "The white-headed team will not move, let the women hurry up and make breakfast, and let the dolls be responsible for passing the ......word."

His voice became louder: "It's enough for us to nail it to the wall, the women hurry up and get breakfast out, and everyone drinks a hot soup to warm up their bodies." ”

As soon as he said this, the mood on the entire walled wall stabilized.

And at this time, Sun Huzi suddenly pointed to the south: "Look, it's on fire there!" It's Yang Zhai, it must be that they're back! ”

Five or six miles south of the Oujiang River, the fire was raging and the smoke was billowing out, and even the morning sun was crushed by the fire.

That's the hope of Panshizhai.

ps: Rushing to the second more on the list, everyone votes for the recommendation
