The Qing artillery on the city wall was also not ambiguous, as soon as they saw the rainbow army start to bombard, they also immediately launched a counterattack, no matter what, the red cannons, general cannons, camp cannons, and mountain splitting cannons at the head of Huangyan City are not a few, although some of the artillery is older than the Qing Dynasty, and has not been well maintained, but it can still be fired.

The next scene was extremely magnificent, full of lead, cannonballs and the smell of gunsmoke, the gunners at the head of the city thought that the artillery of the Hong Army dared to put the artillery at such a close distance from Huangyan City, and the fight would definitely suffer a big loss.

But in fact, the Qing army that suffered losses was on this side, the artillery of the Hong Army did use the strength of the bayonets on the cannons, they loaded the gunpowder hard, and they were not afraid of exploding, and the raindrops of lead and solid bullets bombarded the city wall into a mess, and many careless soldiers won the lottery at once, and fell to the ground and cried bitterly.

But the artillery team of the Hong Army was also damaged in the return fire of the Qing army, as soon as he saw this scene, Gao Liangcai's heart was slightly wider, no matter what, this is much better than fighting with Yingyi, fighting with Yingyi's artillery team, it is almost a situation where you can only be beaten and cannot fight back, not to mention that Yingyi's shells are extremely sharp, there are many tricks such as flowering bombs, scorching incendiary bombs, grenades and so on.

It's just that he just relaxed, but the artillery fire of the city wall stopped firing, and only two or three artillery pieces were bombarding each other with the Hong army, so angry that Kochi County personally ran to the city wall, wanted to fire the cannon in person, and asked: "What's the matter?" Why don't you fight back, do you just sit and get beaten? ”

The people below told him: "Lord County, it's not like this, you put it down quickly, otherwise we won't be able to explain if we are shot by the red thief!"

Soon Gao Liangcai knew something very terrifying, that is, there was a group of extremely sharp front guns among the red thieves, even if they were a mile away, they could still shoot a hundred shots, and just now, six or seven gunners had been killed.

He suddenly lost the determination to fire the cannon himself: "Then when will the cannon be fired?" ”

"Wait until the red thief is close before going up!"

At this time, Feng Sixian, the deputy commander of the Huang Independent Battalion, proudly put away his Mini rifle and told Shi Huiji, who was standing beside him, "My marksmanship is good, right?" ”

Shi Huiji patted the revolver on his waist: "Real melee fighting, our revolver is a hundred times stronger than your Mini rifle!"

The rate of fire of the revolver was incomparable to the Mini rifle in Feng Sixian's hand, so Feng Sixian just smiled: "Hurry up Ming'er, I will also ask the inspector for a revolver to play, wait a minute!"

He had already loaded the fixed ammunition, and now he raised his gun, raised his eyes and aimed at a target in the city, and then made a "bang", but it was missed, and he couldn't help shaking his head and said: "It seems that the Nanxi camp is going to steal the limelight!"

If you talk about the Mini rifle, of course, the dragon spear battalion has the most, but the Nanxi battalion also has ten shots, they organized a sharpshooter class, after repeated training, the marksmanship is much stronger than Feng Sixian, who was a monk halfway, this attack on Huangyan City, but repeatedly stole Feng Sixian's limelight.

"It's fine!" Shi Huiji shouted: "When De Mons sends rifles next time, let's also get a team of Mini rifles to play with!"

Compared with the artillery and shotguns of the Green Battalion, the Minnie rifle has an absolute range advantage, and it has a chance to kill with one shot from a distance of 500 meters, but the next moment Shi Huiji, who is holding a monocular, shouted: "To the left, to the left, a Qing Demon gunner has run out!"

Feng Sixian was loading ammunition while aiming at the small moving target with the front sight, and the gunner fell to the ground with a "bang", Shi Huiji patted him on the shoulder and praised: "Very good, our old partner has a good match!" You don't have any plans to go back to the Dragon Lance Camp!"

Feng Sixian still wanted to go back to the Dragon Lance Camp in his heart, but Shi Huiji was so enthusiastic that he could only say: "Of course I won't go back, but when will I do it?" ”

There is also a simple moat in Huangyan County, and if you want to attack the county seat, you have to erect a pontoon bridge on this moat or fill in the moat, but Shi Huiji told him: "Fill it in, it's not our turn to come to the old rainbow army, what is the punishment camp for?" ”

"Punishment camp?" Feng Sixian nodded: "It's time to use them!"

At this time, Shen Tianming had already eaten a hearty breakfast, and he said to the few clan relatives around him: "Whether it is life or death, whether it is a dragon or a snake, it depends on today!" ..., a sect member asked: "Mandate of Heaven, go up to fill the moat today, and let Li Deyu and his family do it, why do you take such a risk to go up in person?" ”

"Yes! We dug up the ancestral graves of the Li family and demolished their houses, which has already made a mortal enemy, just let them go to death!"

"There's no need for our Shen family to die together!"

Shen Tianming said: "If I don't go up in person, how dare the Li family go up to die, let everyone eat well, this may be their last breakfast!"

And at the other end, a group of Li clan relatives were so windswept that they almost even gnawed on the plate: "Good thing, it's the first time we've let go of eating so many chicken legs!"

"It's not bad either! And it's enough, as long as you don't get drunk and make mistakes!"

"Lao Tzu has lived for twenty-seven years, and for the first time he was full of food, he was actually in the army of thieves!"

"Don't say it's a thief army, call it a rainbow army!"

Don't look at Liu Chang's use of thunder methods, but there is still nothing to say about the treatment of the punishment battalion, everything refers to the various infantry battalions of the Hong Army, today because they want to take the lead in filling the moat, they also added extra meals, but they are more tragic in the Li clan: "Brother Li Deyu is dead, our Li family will have to unite in the future!"

"Yes, as long as we unite, we can not be bullied by that dog thief of Shen Tianming!"

"Even if we can't take revenge ourselves, we have to tell our son that our house was ripped off by the dog thief Shen Tianming!"

"If our Li family's ancestral tomb is not rebuilt one day, we will not die if we die!"

The tone of the Li clan was tragic, and one person said: "When the time comes, a few of us who have brothers and younger brothers will rush to the front, braving the guns and bullets of the Qing soldiers, and you only seedlings, and those who don't have sons will hide behind me!"

"The old lady entrusts your brother to you, you give me a good life!"

"If I die, it will also be a good thing, how can I leave a glimmer of life for our clansmen!"

"The blood book I wrote will be handed over to Liu Juhu by you when the time comes!"

Several members of the Li clan are ready not to come back, and they have already inquired about the details of this Liu Changliu's inspection, and they all know that although this Liu Juehu has the means to stop the household, on the whole, he is a gentleman who keeps his promises.

Liu Chang is not only as good as a mountain, but also a general with extremely clear rewards and punishments, as long as he makes a contribution in his formation, he will definitely write it down and reward it heavily, these Li clan people are already very clear that continuing to act as cannon fodder can only trap the entire Li clan into it, and they have to use many lives to save the entire Li clan from the tragic fate.

It's just that after eating and drinking, a few warriors who thought they were not dragging down just shed tears, and the clansmen behind hugged them all at once, all of them hugged their heads and cried, and Shen Tianming had already rushed over: "The bridge is about to be built, hurry up!" Lao Tzu will personally take you up to build a bridge!"

In front of the moat was an open space to clear the shooting boundary, and the task of building bridges in front of the enemy was originally entrusted to the engineer company, but now it was entrusted to the dead soldiers in these punishment battalions who volunteered to take on the task of building bridges.

They struggled to push the bridge-building equipment hanging with water hyacinth and pushed forward, only two steps were taken, the Qing army that had disappeared at the head of the city was resurrected at this moment, hundreds of shotguns, guns, and more than a dozen artillery pieces sprinkled all the firepower on this death squad.

They had already paid the price of their lives after walking fifteen or sixteen steps, and Shen Tianming only heard someone around him plopping to the ground, but he shouted loudly: "Quick! Fast! Hurry!"

Fortunately, there were two veterans of the Hongjun who volunteered to participate in the bridge building, both of whom made a big mistake and went to the punishment camp to make meritorious contributions, but they shouted loudly: "Don't worry, put up the rattan plaque!"

It's just that the rattan card can only cover one side, a wall of blood slowly advances, and less than half the way away, there are more than a dozen people lying on the ground covered in blood, and someone behind shouts from time to time: "Second Brother Li, don't drag me, I'm going up to drag the second brother back!"

"Uncle Six, Uncle Six, you must have nothing to do!"

"Nine uncles, nine uncles, nine uncles!"

A heart-shattering cry made Liu Changdu lower his head, as the so-called even if there is a thunderbolt method, but this heart is still flesh long, he sighed softly: "Hey......"

Shi Tinglan next to him held his hand hard: "As the so-called Ci is not in charge of the soldiers, I have experienced a lot of such a scene, and you will have to experience a lot, but the important thing is that you still have four thousand lives on your hands, and any thought you have will put them to death!"

"Hmm!" Liu Chang raised his head again to look at the scene in front of the moat, and at the moment of conversation, the casualties of the punishment battalion had doubled, but they finally pushed the equipment to build the bridge to the moat, and then Shen Tianming shouted: "Start building the bridge!" Build bridges, for the sake of our clansmen!"

He was the first to jump off the moat under artillery fire and shouted, "Follow me!"

In fact, these brave men of the punishment battalion had only undergone some simple bridge-building training yesterday afternoon, but now they had pushed down the moat with the door panels, wooden boats, coffins, and other bridge-building equipment, and began to build bridges under the stormy fire of the Qing army.

The entire moat was stained red with blood in an instant, and without the cover of the rattan card, the casualties doubled at once, but there were still people filling in the moat one after another.

And all the artillery that could fire in the entire Rainbow Army began to roar at this moment, and the Mini rifles, firing pistols and even flintlock pistols also began to fire at full speed, trying to suppress the Qing firearms at the head of the city.

From time to time, the Qing army at the head of the city had people fall down, especially the gunners and officers who were taken care of by the Mini rifle, coupled with the thunderous artillery fire, which made many Qing troops retreat to the cave.

And the punishment battalion, which faced more firepower, extended the pontoon bridge step by step!

Every step forward requires the price of blood, and the moat has become a pool of blood!
