Chapter 64: The Crowd
"Get out of your milk!" Ye Bingzhong is bloody this time: "No matter how brave the soldiers are, if they are afraid of the battle, they will be killed!" ”
The green battalion soldiers, who had been watching the show in the back, were now standing on the same starting line with Xiang Yong under pressure, whether it was the right attack on the guerrilla Zhuo Dalin or the prefect Ruichun, they were all on the front line, ready to attack with absolute superiority.
In the past, the Qing army only used one-third of the troops to attack at most, but this time, in addition to taking care of the wounded in the rear and guarding the baggage, Ye Bingzhong staked all the capital.
A thousand people! In the great offensive of 1,000 men, 150 men were charged in the direction of the north gate and the west gate, and 700 troops were concentrated in the direction of the east gate, which was the focus of the attack.
And now on the wall, it is also extremely tense, the offensive that used nearly 500 troops just now almost put the defenders on the verge of collapse, and Ruichun retreated in advance, so that Huo Qiu could transfer a platoon of flintlock muskeers.
Even if it is varied, the casualties in all directions are not small, especially Sun Huzi's brave team, which has suffered nearly one-third of the casualties since the start of the battle, but the most worrying is the East Gate.
Ye Bingzhong concentrated his troops at the east gate, and the attention of the defenders also noticed that the east gate was the weakness of the entire defense line, so Huo Qiu shouted: "Prepare to mobilize the old people and children, especially pay attention to strengthening the east gate!" ”
But as soon as he finished speaking, a group of reinforcements had already gone up to the wall: "Captain Huo, which direction is it better for our battalion team to go?" ”
It was the green battalion soldier Xian Na who gave the method of making granular gunpowder who spoke, and now he was the chief officer of the battalion team, and pulled up more than 20 people who could fight in the entire battalion team: "Our battalion is here, and there are forty fire pots!" ”
"Good!" With such a volunteer reinforcement from the battalion team, Huo Qiu's heart settled down a lot: "You take the fire pot to the east gate together, and then it will definitely be the focus of the Qing Demon attack, whether you can hold the rock village or not, it's up to you!" ”
As he was talking, the sharp-eyed Red Turban suddenly shouted, "The inspection is back!" The checkpoint is back! ”
They had already seen the Shi Yunqing millet boat sail down the river with a tailwind, and this accident shocked everyone: "It's the inspection point that has returned!" ”
"Damn it!" Ye Bingzhong was arranging the final offensive, and he also saw the rice boat on the river: "The main force of the red thief is back!" ”
"Let's take a break!" Although Ruichun didn't know the soldiers, he also knew that the troops had suffered a setback, but Ye Bingzhong made a decision: "Start now, start now!" The three-way attack gave me the strength to eat milk, and opened the rock village, what do you want! Lao Tzu offered a reward of 20,000 taels! ”
This reward shocked Ruichun: "Zhentai, 20,000 taels, this amount is too big!" ”
You must know that even if you are fighting with the Taiping army, the reward for counterattacking a county town is only a few thousand taels, but Ye Bingzhong opened a reward of 20,000 taels in one go, you must know that this number is equivalent to the reward for recovering a city on the battlefield of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
"20,000 taels is 20,000 taels, a penny is a lot!" Ye Bingzhong shouted loudly: "Give Lao Tzu the strength used on women, if the prefect can't get this reward, Lao Tzu will fill this money from his pocket!" ”
As soon as he shouted like this, the entire military camp cheered, and the courage of the green battalion soldiers and the village warriors who had disappeared due to several setbacks returned, which was 20,000 taels of silver!
The three-way offensive began almost at the same time, and even Huo Qiu, who was in the direction of containment, knew that it was troublesome as soon as he saw the momentum of the Qing army: "Organize as many old people and children as you can to come up, organize as many people as you can!" It's really not okay to let the women come up too, as long as you hold on for a while, the soldiers at the inspection point will come back immediately! ”
He and Ye Bingzhong both thought that the millet boat was loaded with Liu Chang's main force, and at this time, the Qing army's offensive was already surging up.
The entire Panshi Village was shrouded in gunsmoke, and even Huo Qiu, who had a platoon of flintlock musketeers, felt a lot of pressure, not to mention the direction of the east gate of the Qing army's main attack.
Crowd! From a distance, there was a large crowd of people, and the formation of 700 people made the defenders above gasp.
"Cannon! Cannon! ”
The officers and men of the reserve were already shouting: "Artillery, fire quickly!" ”
This was almost the first battle of the reserves, but fortunately, the offensive of the Qing army in the previous waves was not strong, and with the support of the artillery team, it barely repelled the offensive of the Qing army, but there were also more than a dozen casualties.
Zhou Peng of the artillery team looked at the crowd all over the mountains and scolded his mother: "Let me go!" ”
A solid bullet whistled out of an arc, flew for ten steps, and then raged in the formation of the Qing army, and it took five or six people one after another to stop advancing.
The place where the solid bullet passed through almost became a hell of flesh and blood, but this small change did not affect the fanaticism of the Qing army, and they filled the gap almost immediately.
The soldiers of the reserve team turned pale and their movements were a little deformed, but they began the first round of shooting under the command of Zhou Peng.
"Woohoo! Woohoo! ”
This can be said to be the most lethal round of guns after the outbreak of the battle, and the formation at the front of the Qing army is like a sickle sweeping through the wheat waves, and rows of Qing soldiers fall down.
But the next moment, the Qing army stepped on the corpses and wounded and accelerated forward: "Prepare to fire, prepare to load!" There's also a chance to shoot in one round! ”
At this time, the soldiers of the reserve team shrewdly hid behind the battlement wall and prepared to load, and the mountain splitting cannon became the focus of the Qing army's firepower, and the gunners around Zhou Zhou Peng were wounded two times in a row, but Zhou Zhou Peng had already prepared the bayonets on the cannon.
"It's coming, it's coming!" It was Xian Na of the battalion who came, and he brought several shotguns and forty fire pots: "Here we are!" ”
"Just in time!" Zhou Zhou Peng shouted: "Release!" ”
At this time, the charging Qing army had almost reached the wall, and dozens of shotguns immediately roared, causing huge casualties in the dense formation of the Qing army. The raindrop-like projectiles swept through the dense formation, and there were projectiles flying everywhere, as if no one could survive under such a rain of bullets, at least more than 20 people were wounded and killed, but the next moment the Qing army returned to the original dense formation, and Zhou Peng's artillery had not yet completed reloading.
"Prepare the fire pot!" Xian Na was born in the green battalion, and although he led the battalion team, he had quite a lot of combat experience: "Prepare for battle, prepare for hand-to-hand combat!" ”
The ladder of the Qing army has been erected to the wall.
