"Supervisor Feng's order, open fire!"

"Fire!"

"Shoot at full speed!"

"Put!"

"Solid bullets!"

"Double the shotgun!"

"Scorching Molotov cocktail!"

Sixty-seven guns did not start firing at the same time, when the front howitzer fired all the howitzers, white smoke covered the entire artillery top, and at this time the second gun on the right also began to roar backwards, he fired a scorching incendiary bomb, while the other twenty or so guns began to fire in turn, when the rightmost artillery was bombarded, this howitzer had already washed the barrel, reloaded, and began to bombard again in the hands of the artillerymen.

Sixty-seven guns of different calibers and different types formed a barrage-like fire, and countless shells whizzed and smashed on the poor Jinlou wall, including solid bullets, shotguns, grenades, scorching incendiary bombs or other shells, but the most terrifying power was the shrapnel.

This latest type of artillery shell is rarely used in the rainbow army, because it can explode in the air, dozens of hundreds of pieces of shrapnel flying in all directions within the entire killing range, for a dense crowd, such a shell is simply a catastrophe.

The entire Jinlou Village trembled in this rain of bullets, but in a few minutes, more than 200 shells had already made this hard village of the Hexagram Sect undergo a baptism of fire, and a solid bullet with at least 72 pounds directly bombarded the wall of Jinlou Village, and the next moment the entire wall ceased to exist, and it was just a gentle ramp in front of the eyes of the artillery observers.

A grenade exploded above the dense crowd, killing sixteen lives and seriously injuring twenty-seven in an instant, and now the entire Jinlou village was filled with a baptism of fire, even if you hid in the house, you couldn't escape the cannonballs flying in the sky.

From the experience of the Qing Dynasty's entry into the customs war, we can know that the walls of any city cannot withstand the bombardment of red-coated cannons, not to mention that the artillery of the Hong Army has evolved for two hundred years, and the defense of Jinlouzhai is even inferior to that of ordinary county seats. Everywhere there were collapsed houses, ruins, walls, fires, smoke and noise.

However, there were many people who desperately jumped off the wall, shouting loudly: "We surrender out of the village, we surrender out of the village!" ”

Only now did they know what Ren Zhu meant by "we went in". It was not the infantry units of the Rainbow Army that launched the assault. Instead, the shells bombarded in.

And some old believers who are still obsessed with it are shouting loudly: "Vacuum hometown, no old mother!" ”

"Vacuum hometown, no biological mother!"

"Keep shooting and blast the entire Jinlou Village into ruins!" Feng Sixian coldly gave an order: "We have already given them time!" ”

Screams, struggles, burning. The entire Jinlouzhai has become a sea of fire, not to mention that the artillery of the Hong Army fired another 800 shells at the Jinlouzhai before starting the aftermath action.

In the continuous shelling for nearly an hour, there was not much resistance left in the Jinlou Village, but the current infantry of the Hong Army. In particular, the soldiers of the Huanghuai Construction Corps adapted from the old twist army are particularly ruthless, they often shoot directly whenever they find that adult men are alive, regardless of whether they have no ability to resist, and some troops simply stab them to death with bayonets in order to save bullets, only the elderly, children, and women can survive, of course, some units can also accommodate some male prisoners, but the whole combat operation can be described as "washing the village".

"Everything went well!" Ren Zhu reported the news: "Seven hundred prisoners. Eight hundred were killed, and four of our troops were wounded. ”

Feng Sixian nodded with satisfaction and said: "In my military career, this battle can be said to be among the models of the model, where are the bandit leaders Gao Yongqing and Gao Yao now?" ”

"According to the captives, they were all buried in our artillery shells. and killed more than 30 sect leaders such as the second son of Gao Yao! ”

"Hmm!" Feng Sixian ordered loudly: "According to the holy will of His Majesty's edict, continue to pursue the thief leader, and don't let one go!" ”

"Understood!" Ren Zhu immediately ordered: "I will let the horse team go out to chase and kill, and I will never let go of a bandit!" ”

"This battle can be called an exemplary battle in our military career!" Feng Sixian repeated the statement: "That's right. An exemplary battle. ”

Later, according to the capture of the parties in Jinlouzhai and the counting of corpses, it was confirmed that at least 1,800 members of the sect were buried in the Jinlouzhai. was either killed by a shell, or killed in battle, confirming Feng Sixian's statement of "exemplary combat".

It's just that some people have expressed great doubts about this, such as the famous military historian Bai Siwen believes: "The battle of Jinlouzhai is considered to be a model example of Feng Sixian and the thief army, the thief army claimed to have killed 1,400 enemies with only four wounded, but according to the residents of Guide Mansion and the official documents before the war, it can be proved that the so-called "Jinlouzhai Battle" is simply a massacre of peaceful residents, and the so-called Gao Yongqing is a famous benevolence and generosity in Guide Mansion, and has never had a dispute with people, and Gao Yao's family is a woman who does not even dare to kill a chickenAccording to the exact information I got from the retired old cadre's wife, nephew and friend of the staff headquarters of the thief army, the thief army carried out such a massacre completely in view of the prestige of the Yao clan in the local area, so that no one dared to resist the thief army for a long time at that time. ”

However, Bai Siwen finally said the last sentence correctly, in the sea of fire in Jinlou Village, there was definite news over there: "Ma Muji's bandits were terrified when they saw that Jinlou Village was broken by me, and they have already approached our cavalry to negotiate!" ”

"Be careful, be careful!" Feng Sixian explained the past: "Ma Muji surrendered, no matter what kind of role they played in the past, treat me well, we will only do the first evil!" ”

Ren Zhu didn't expect that after Feng Sixian's thunder, it would be such a gentle drizzle: "Feng Du, don't give them a meal?" ”

"What do you use to get off the horse!" Feng Sixian pointed to the burning Jinlouzhai and said: "With this fire, I dare not rebel for 20 years!" ”

The Twist Army has done a lot of things to wash the city and slaughter the village, but it is not as simple as Feng Sixian, so Ren Zhu believed: "That's right, the Guide Mansion will not dare to rebel for at least twenty years, and with these twenty years, we are enough to make a great cause." ”

It's just that as soon as he said this, someone from there came galloping: "Overseer, urgent lightning, the Russians have crossed the Heilongjiang River and used troops to the northeast......"

Feng Sixian's face suddenly turned ugly: "Damn, it's coming so fast, it's the most critical time!" ”

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

"These damned Russians!"

As one of the most stylish of the Western aristocracy in Shanghai, Count de Mons has always led the atmosphere of the entire Shanghai Concession, and the style of clothing he wore would soon become popular throughout Shanghai, and Westerners in Shanghai would often name the "Earl de Mons-style" formal dress.

It's just that now De Mons has pulled away the consul without any grace, and looked at the latest report in the newspaper with anger, which is the report that Russia has used troops outside the border on a large scale and a large number of troops have crossed the Heilongjiang River.

The Russians claimed that they had unquestioned privileges over the entire Amur region, and even the entire Mongol region outside the Guanwai, for which they mobilized the forces of the entire country to support the war, and the battle report issued by the Russians at all, after crossing the Heilongjiang River with minor casualties, they were rampage throughout the northeast, and the Qing army outside the Guanwai was not their opponent at all, and they were able to occupy the entire Guanwai region in a very short time.

This is really bad news, and even caused Demons to lose 12,000 silver dollars in one morning, making his eyes turn red: "Beat these grizzly bears, beat them hard!" ”

The whole government bond market is talking about this news, and it turns out that the upward bond has been falling and falling, and De Mons's investment has been severely damaged, but the public bond is more worried about the possible war that will break out next.

According to the communiqué issued by Russia, in order to capture the entire Guanwai region, Russia invested 87,000 Russian soldiers and 18,000 Chinese volunteers, all of whom were the best fighters, equipped with the most advanced firearms in the world, and had sufficient supplies to fully defend Russia's natural territory - the entire Amur region, the Mongolian region and the entire Guanwai region.

Everyone quickly estimated the strength of the Rainbow Army, and now the total strength of the Rainbow Army is an astonishing number that no one can figure out except Liu Chang himself, but the Rainbow Army is distributed in more than a dozen provinces, and the mobile troops that can be drawn out are at most thirty or forty thousand, and whether these thirty or forty thousand troops can compete with the strongest Russian troops, no one knows.

More importantly, the Rainbow Army is now multi-front, and they must fight against the Spanish counteroffensive in the Philippines, although according to the information we have obtained, the Rainbow Army has urgently sent two infantry battalions to the Philippines, but the original strength in the Philippines is only an infantry division, and it is very likely that the troops scheduled to deal with the Russians will need to be transferred to fight in the Philippines.

In the midst of the civil war, the Rainbow Army now had to face a poorly equipped but surprisingly large number of Qing troops on the one hand, and on the other hand, to clean up the rebels scattered in the occupied areas, and although most of these rebellions were extinguished in a short time, the situation did not seem to have completely improved in some areas.

Now with the news that the Russians may enter the war, the market for public bonds has deteriorated day by day, adding to the losses of Demons, who has a staggering amount of public debt.

De Mons is now desperate to find the Russians.

This can't go on like this!
