Chapter 40: The Teacher
Although from time to time there were Red Turban soldiers falling, but one after another ladder was erected to the wall, the Red Turban Army continued to climb the wall, several yellow flags have been fluttering on the wall of Panshi Village.
At least the green flags of the green battalion soldiers can not be seen now, but seeing so many soldiers injured, Qu Zhenhan is really heartbroken, and Ge Mengjin next to him whispered comfort: "It's okay, it's okay, if you attack from the river, I'm afraid the damage will be even greater." ”
These defensive camps in the late Qing Dynasty only focused on sea surface defense, and they were very eye-catching to the land attacks behind them, after all, the Red Turban Army copied from the back road, and the 5,000-pound cannon in the rock village did not come in handy at all.
Qu Zhenhan finally felt better: "It's okay, it's okay, fortunately, Zuo Ying cleaned up the four hundred Qing demons first, otherwise this situation is really unimaginable." ”
Although the city was strong, the morale of the defenders of the Panshi Village was very low, and the number of troops was too small, and such a wide defensive front was simply not enough to distribute, and the Red Turban Army took advantage of the advantage in strength to launch a full-scale attack, and was immediately broken through in many places.
Thinking of the situation of 400 more soldiers on the village, Qu Zhenhan felt that his scalp was numb, and in that case, the middle battalion could only dry up the blood.
Xu Fengfei also breathed a sigh of relief, lowered his voice and said to Liu Chang: "Fortunately, fortunately, we don't have to go up to suppress the formation." ”
If the middle battalion can't attack, it can only be the turn of the left battalion and Liu Chang's troops to attack the village, Liu Chang also nodded: "Fortunately, fortunately, the village was broken in one fell swoop, and Jiangbei has been decided." ”
It's just that Xu Fengfei looked at the battlefield, and still had palpitations: "Check, if we go to attack the village instead, is there a sharp tactic like a rattan gun?" ”
Liu Chang also had a headache, and replied: "How can it be so easy, our Heavenly Kingdom will attack the city, if we can't overcome it in one fell swoop like today, we can only grind it slowly." ”
In this era, it is difficult to overcome the defense line with the city as the core, unless the attacking side has a large number of Western artillery, otherwise the siege will be a protracted and painful process, typical of Changsha, Tianjing, Anqing, Suzhou and many other cities garrison battles.
Both sides have the tactics of using tunnels to attack fortified positions, but for coastal areas like Wenzhou, tunnel excavation is a very difficult thing, and the manpower, material resources and even time consumed are not something that the Red Turban Army can bear.
Xu Fengfei sighed: "Then what should I do?" Fucheng plus Ruian and Pingyang are all strong cities, and there are many more defenders than this rock village, and they can recruit strong warriors in battle, which is not easy to fight! ”
"What are you doing thinking so far?" Liu Chang replied to him: "When it really comes to Fucheng, I will always come up with some way." ”
As he was talking, there were already a lot of fires in the Panshi Village, and then a message came from the wall: "Shi Degong has been killed, and the Panshi Village has been taken." ”
Shi Dusi sent the fine soft and his family members across the river in advance, so he is particularly stubborn now, and urged the soldiers who retreated into the inner village to fight back several times, but several frightened villagers were helpless, and cut off his head with a knife to surrender to the Red Turban Army.
As soon as he died, the entire Panshi Village officially changed hands, and Qu Zhenshan had already cleaned up the loot and prisoners in the village.
It's just that this battle was too heavy for the middle battalion, and the preliminary statistics quickly reached the ears of Liu Chang and Xu Fengfei: "There were nearly two hundred dead and wounded. ”
Xu Fengfei was taken aback: "Wouldn't that be more casualty than the casualties of fighting the pool." ”
Although the 700 Qing troops who fought in the pond and made meritorious contributions to the Red Turban Army rushed many times, they only suffered 1780 casualties after the fact, and now there are nearly 200 casualties in the attack on Panshi Village.
The Red Turban Army who came to report the news replied: "Yes, the Qu family is going to cry today, and more than a dozen people surnamed Qu have been killed and injured. ”
Qu Zhenshan used all the strength to feed today, and more than a dozen of Qu's children were killed and injured alone, if you count those who are related to the Qu family, then this number will almost double.
"It shouldn't take so much effort to fight Dajing." Xu Fengfei walked over and comforted Qu Zhenhan a few words, and asked Liu Chang again.
Now the Qing army in Wenzhou Town, north of the Oujiang River, only has a single seedling left in the Dajing Battalion, which is backed by Taizhou and completely isolated from the Qing troops in Wenzhou, and must be the first target of the Red Turban Army.
At this time, Qu Zhenshan had already been carried down, this time he was shot in the shoulder, he heard Xu Fengfei's words and immediately replied: "Dajing is easier to fight than this rock village, Xu Dusi rest assured, when the time comes, we will fight in the camp!" ”
Fifth Master Ge smiled: "As long as the artillery of Panshi Village is dragged to Dajing, it will definitely be won in one round." ”
Although the coastal defense cannon in Panshi Village is backward, it is a coastal defense cannon after all, and there are even 5,000 catties of cannons, which are absolutely powerful to fight a camp like Dajing Town.
Qu Zhenhan also smiled: "It's okay, after dismantling the cannon of this rock village, it will be much easier for the fifth master's brother to enter and exit the Oujiang River, when will Ye Niangzi go ashore?" Let's go together to welcome. ”
Ge Mengjin was very proud: "Since Panshizhai has been taken, of course my mother-in-law has to bring people ashore, she did a good job this time, and contacted a few boats, and now there are three or four hundred people." ”
As soon as she saw the yellow flag of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom raised in Panshi Village, Ye Niangzi's fleet first sent a sampan to explore the wind, and then a dozen or so sailing ships opened their sails and sailed towards Panshi Village.
Liu Chang also stood on the rocky village and pointed out the country, and Qu Zhenhan next to him said: "Ge Wu, my Qu someone counts, five thousand taels of silver is not a lot, and it has all been handed over to you." ”
As he was talking, Ge Mengjin's fleet had already docked, and a young woman simply slid off the sail, and everyone said, "That's the fifth lady." ”
"That's right, it's Ye Niangzi!"
"Fifth master, what a blessing!"
When Ye Niangzi stepped on the thin-soled fast boots and walked ashore, Liu Chang's eyes really lit up.
In this time and space, the women he saw were all women with small feet, which definitely did not conform to the aesthetics of modern people.
It was the first time he saw a woman who met his own and modern aesthetics, this Ye Niangzi was younger than he imagined, only sixteen or seventeen years old, dressed in a red power suit, with a portable telescope around her neck, a sword in her left hand, and a flintlock pistol in her right hand, definitely with the demeanor of a female pirate.
When I got closer, I found that she was a real black beauty, although her skin was a little dark, but it was very delicate, and it was even more exaggerated that she was a real childlike giant that was rare in modern society. Breasts, delicate face, the flesh of the whole body grows on the chest, a little dress can be said to be like snow on the chest and the face is like a lotus, the small waist is very slender, a pair of legs are not only tall, and there is no sign of a radish ring leg.
In modern society, this Ye Niangzi's figure is enough to be a model, what kind of shit luck did this Fifth Master Ge take.
It's just that in this era, Ye Niangzi is just a woman with some characteristics, not a top beauty, Xu Fengfei took a few glances at her big feet.
Ye Niangzi had already come up like a wind, and Fifth Master Ge introduced to her: "This is my mother-in-law, everyone can call her Fifth Lady!" Ye Niang, I have seen Zhenhai's old friends, now called Qu Zhenhan Marshal Qu, as well as Mr. Jin Peishu, Xu Fengfei Dusi, although they are all old friends, but now they are all developed. ”
He also introduced Liu Changlai, who secretly admired Ye Niangzi: "This is Liu Changliu's checkpoint, one of the thirty-six checkpoints in front of the Heavenly Palace, and now he is Marshal Qu Zhenhan's right-hand man." ”
Ye Niangzi's willow waist bent down like an autumn moon, and her voice was melodious: "Ye Niang has seen the inspection point, and I have long heard that the inspection point is a real hero, and it really deserves its name." ”
There was a smile on the corner of her mouth: "This bombardment of Fucheng, I heard that it was the idea of inspection." The price of the inspection is 5,000 taels of silver for a cannon, this price is very fair, Ye Niang is grateful, but the brothers of the fifth master accidentally fired more than 100 cannons, how should this money be calculated. ”
