Hundreds of soldiers were prostrate in front of the breastwork in front of the sniper positions of Zhen Changyu's battalion, and the rifles of the soldiers in the front row of them were already loaded with bayonets, ready to pierce the sky at any time, and scattered shotgun projectiles flew over their heads.

Chen Ningping stood right behind them, he was almost the only one in the group who was qualified to stand up, and the only one who had to stand and observe the enemy's situation.

He stood straight, holding a telescope in his hand and watching the Qing army rushing up, as if it was a green pine that could not be blown across, and the red flag in the company was planted behind him, sounding fiercely in the wind.

He was the commander of this infantry company, a veteran who had enlisted in the army during the Wenzhou period, and he regretted that the company he led was not qualified to write words such as "Great Meritorious Company", "Taiping First Victory Company", and "Ningbo Pioneer Company" on his company flag, but he believed that it was only a matter of time.

He stood a few meters behind the breastwork, the deputy company commander was half-kneeling on the ground, ready to take his place at any time, and a few dozen meters away, there was another company commander standing the same half-kneeling deputy company commander, this was the main force of the Hongjun sniper position.

Chen Ningping looked very carefully, this Qing demon who came here can be regarded as having fought a lot of tough battles, and he walked without hurry, and set up five dense phalanxes to press over, if he guessed correctly, this should be two thousand five hundred in five battalions.

Shotguns came with a clatter, and the projectiles flew in all directions, and the most dangerous time flew on the left side of Chen Ningping's ear, but this made Chen Ningping's waist even more straight, he was not one of the officers of the teaching regiment who could only fight law and order, he had really seen the world.

The battle flag sounded fiercely, and the whole world seemed to be left with only Chen Ningping and his battle flag, the Qing army was getting closer and closer, and it seemed that it had entered within a hundred meters, and even without a telescope, Chen Ningping could see their formation clearly, and at this time Chen Ningping heard the roaring cannonball.

It was a signal from the battalion commander, and Chen Ningping raised his head and shouted, "Lie down and fire a salvo!" ”

The soldiers who were crawling under the breastwork stood up at once, but faster than them were the cannonballs that crossed the graceful arc, and a grenade fell in the middle of the Qing army's shape, Chen Ningping, who was standing on a high place, could see clearly that when the cannonball exploded, at least five or six Qing soldiers wearing uniforms flipped forward and never got up again.

Like the artillery tactics of the Hong Army under the city of Jiande, the artillery in the battalion also fired in order from left to right, and the scorching shells fell one after another in the dense formation of the Qing army, making them suffer enough, even if it was a solid bullet, as long as it could hit, it could make a lot of results.

But the next moment, Chen Ningping was attracted by the scenery in front of him, nearly 300 rifles were whistling almost at the same time, the fact was that it was whistling from right to left, and the result of so many rifles whistling gave Chen Ningping an illusion, that is, his rifle seemed to be not loaded with "set sail without watermark" bullets, and it could shoot continuously as long as the plate machine was pressed.

But the next moment, Chen Ningping still saw many bright bayonets waving downward, and then the soldiers were holding the tongtong and loading the bullets there to "set sail without watermarks" and medicines, and the other party's Qing army was already falling down one after another.

This is not harvesting, but the typhoon passed through the salvo of nearly 300 rifles and knocked down at least 100 Qing troops in one go, and everywhere there were Qing troops who fell to the ground with a thud, and now the continuous shooting has just begun.

That's right, the rifles were fired in right-to-left order, and now the soldier on the right had loaded the "Set Sail Without Watermark" medicine and began their second round of shooting. …,

The dense bullets still swept through the front line of the Qing army, and the shells also began the second round of shooting, like raindrops, and dozens of rifles were fired there every moment to shoot "Qi Sai without watermarks" out of merciless bullets, and soldiers were trying their best to reload the bullets with all their might.

"Put! Put! Put! ”

Chen Ningping even noticed that there were a few more red flags on the breastwork, which were the flags of honor of each row, waving in the wind, looking at the rifle that was flipped downwards after shooting, Chen Ningping took two steps forward without "setting sail without watermarks".

He was proud of his company

The Qing army had never experienced such a dense and continuous rain of bullets, and the first wave of guns and artillery salvos alone knocked down at least nearly 100 Qing troops, not to mention the rain of bullets from these continuous bombardments.

In their eyes, the other party has concentrated at least a thousand copper fire cap guns, but this is the elite division led by Shengbao and the monk after all, who once defeated the Northern Expeditionary Army of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and they braved the rain of bullets to advance as soon as possible, and began to shoot at the side of the Hong Army.

But although they are numerous, but in terms of firepower density can not be compared with the two and a half infantry companies deployed in front of the rainbow army, their shotguns are traditional arquebuses, when the arquebus is lit, we must be careful not to harm others, so the formation is very scattered, naturally not the concentration of firepower can only be sporadically fired, which is like the rainbow army rifle bombardment, that is simply continuous, there are always more than a dozen rifles firing.

And they are too inferior in weapons, the loading speed of shotguns is at the level of two or three rounds per minute, while the rainbow army with the main force of the firing gun is more than double theirs, not to mention that they are facing the bombardment of the rainbow army's platoon guns with their chests, while the rainbow army is relying on a breastwork, which blocks at least half or even more of the shotgun bullets for the rainbow army.

The two sides were still firing at each other, but after the initial dense salvo erupted, the rate of fire quickly slowed down, and someone fell down at any moment.

Shengbao saw clearly in the back, the rainbow army in front of him was only three or four hundred people at most, but as soon as they made a move, they suppressed their five battalions of infantry, and the first infantry battalion could still shoot at the rainbow army at first, but after a while, the rainbow army was still a rain of bullets, and they could not resist the enemy and retreated.

Then the second phalanx began to roar with a dense array of guns, and this phalanx also concentrated five hundred soldiers, but they had only continued to resist for a minute or two, and they had wisely retreated with the momentum of the tide, at least the infantry battalions further behind, and had already retreated before they had officially engaged in battle.

Although the battle only lasted for a little more than half an hour, at least two or three hundred corpses and seriously wounded of the Qing army had fallen in front of the position of the Hong army, not counting those who had been dragged back.

In front of the position, there was already a wail, many seriously wounded were crying loudly, moaning "set sail without watermark", and some simply asked their comrades to give him a supplementary shot, and Katsuho's face turned pale.

He had already thought about countless scenes, but he never thought that the rain of bullets and bullets of the red thieves would be so dense and terrifying, I am afraid that thousands of people in the Northern Expeditionary Army will concentrate on guns and shells, and it is just this scene now, right?

What made him even more angry was that his five battalions of 2,500 infantry stepped down like this, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, I am about to rush when I see it, and if I rush again, I will rush into the red thief position, and now I have to retreat and rush again, what is the pain?"

He urged the horse and drove towards the monk king: "Monk king, monk king, if it weren't for the divine sparrow knife being taken back by the saint, I would have to use this divine sparrow knife to kill a few defeated soldiers," ...,

This so-called divine sparrow knife is the second place in the famous sword of the Qing Dynasty, which is almost the meaning of the sword of Shang Fang in the play, and the knife holder can be killed if he wants.

The first famous knife of the Qing Dynasty is the sword of the Emperor of the Imperial Palace, which is the waist knife of the four ministers of the auxiliary government of Kangxi, Qianlong gave it to Fu Heng when he conquered Jinchuan, and Fu Heng will be the grandson of the Emperor of the Ministry of Economic Strategy at the time, and the Emperor Xianfeng of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom gave this knife to Sai Shang'a, and the second is the Shenque knife, which was originally the saber of Yue Le, the prince of Anhe, these two knives can be said to be the sword of the Qing Dynasty Shang Fang sword plus the dog stick, but when the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was pacified, these two famous knives were in vain.

When the Northern Expeditionary Army was pacified the year before last, Emperor Xianfeng specially gave this Shenque Sword to Shengbao, when the Taiping Army's Northern Expeditionary Army was unstoppable and left him dictatorial.

It's just that although the Shenque knife fell into the hands of Shengbao, it increased Shengbao's flying power, but Shengbao is also self-aware, knowing that this is a national heavy weapon, although he holds it all day long, he doesn't dare to use it lightly, and he hasn't officially killed anyone, but when he was defeated in the Tang Dynasty and was asked for guilt and degraded to Xinjiang, he regretted that he didn't use this knife to kill people at the beginning.

It's just that the monk king didn't care about his words, but just said, "It's not simple! ”

"It's just that the gun "Set sail without a watermark" is well armed, and it doesn't mean to scrape," Katsuho said, "The only thing to worry about is the cannons,"

The monk king said: "I'm afraid I won't be able to use the method I used at first, this red thief is only three hundred strange, and it may be more than enough to protect itself, but if you say that you will attack me, I am afraid you don't have the courage."

This is the real situation, although it is said that there are as many as 20,000 monks and kings, but in a hurry, only a total of nearly 10,000 horses, but even so, there are only six or seven hundred red thieves in front of them, and in the face of nearly 10,000 Qing troops, how can they have the courage to attack, they will only sit and guard.

As he was talking, there was a faint sound of gunfire in the south, and the monk said: "According to the Western time, what time is it?" ”

A Goshha immediately took out his big eight pocket watches and looked at them, and replied: "Lord Yu, it's nine o'clock now!" ”

Monk Greenqin said: "This is the red thief attacking Jiande City, I'm afraid the officers and soldiers in the city can't support it, the soldiers are fast, I will lead the horse team to rush up!" ”

The horse team led by the monk is very mixed, both the Chahar horse team, the Horqin horse team, as well as the Jilin, Heilongjiang horse team, and the horse team composed of the recruited Guan Nei horse Yong, there are nearly two thousand horses in this vanguard, these two thousand horses are impacted, that is really a strong horse, invincible fine horseman, but the monk also cherishes his own horse team is not easy to come by: "It's just that this horse team rushed, and it was inevitable that there would be damage!" ”

"The horse team is strong, not Meng Lang," Sheng Bao saw that the monk king wanted to rush with the horse team, and immediately said: "Monk King, let me lead the foot team to rush again, if you can't rush up, then it's too late to use the horse team."

"The red thief has sharp guns, bullets rain down, and the soldiers are fast!" The monk replied, "Why don't the horse team attack and the foot team attack sideways?" ”

Shengbao was stubborn and said: "There are not many injuries in the infantry team, there is still strength left, you can rush again, this time you can't rush, it's not too late to attack the side again." ）
