Chapter 183 Linhai (the second one is delivered, and then ask for a monthly pass)

Reinforcements?

Feng Sixian hesitated for a moment, obviously falling into deep thought, and made a decision after a while: "Miss Shi, the inspection must be under Linhai City now, if I ask for help, maybe it will be a failure to capture Linhai Mansion City!" I have made an agreement with the inspector that it is my responsibility to guard this Huangyan county! ”

Gao Liangcai next to him also echoed: "Although these regimental exercises are all brave, how can they compare to our Hongjun volunteers, with the current strength of the county, it is enough to hold on!" ”

He was demoted, and he always wanted to find an opportunity to express himself, and after Feng Sixian and Gao Liangcai made a decision, although Shi Tinglan had the heart to say a few more words, he shook his head slightly. ＂＂

Feng Sixian felt that the battle situation was quite optimistic: "Although the regimental training is coming, but in a hurry, at most more than 1,000 people can be mobilized, I have a battalion of people, why worry that the regimental training will not be broken!" ”

Bai Shanye also maintained an optimistic attitude towards breaking through more than 1,000 regiments: "If there are really only more than 1,000 bandits attacking, five or six hundred troops in my city are enough to hold on!" Besides, it only needs to be kept for one day. ”

Today is already the rising moon of the new moon, with the combat effectiveness of the regimental training, even if there is a night attack, it is just a small force to harass, and with five hundred and six troops to defend the day, Bai Shanye is sure, he just reminded: "There are still 800 captives in the city now, if there is a change, it will be unimaginable, and we must prepare early." ”

It's just that Shi Tinglan always feels that these people are too optimistic.

Although Su Jingrong's 40,000 division is a word, at least it will not be as simple as more than 1,000 people.

But she didn't know how to convince Liu Chang's cadres, just like she had never been able to convince her brother.

At this moment, Su Jingrong had already rushed to Huangyan City, dozens of torches were lit, and the Huangyan County in the distance seemed to be a huge monster.

"Hurry up, hurry, it's still one step away!" Su Jingrong looked at Huangyan County in the night, and asked to the side, "How many people have arrived?" ”

"Now there are three thousand!" His younger brother Su Jinglan told him: "The entire Huangyan County is surrounded by us, it should be foolproof, there are only three hundred red thieves in the city, and with ten strikes and one, you have the certainty of victory!" ”

It was Mu Yinan who brought bad news: "The front team Zheng Lao Er and Li Sang encountered two teams of red thieves, about 100 of them, in a hurry, suffered some setbacks, and lost some brothers!" ”

The truth is much more serious than what he said, Su Jingrong immediately said: "The red thief is out of the city? What are the results? ”

"It seems that the red thief who came back from the north has lost a lot of brothers! Zheng Lao Er said that he killed sixteen or seven red thieves and wounded more than 20 people, but he rushed out of the city with 100 red thieves. ”

This accident did not affect Su Jingrong's determination, he immediately said: "Nan, you are from Huangyan, tonight's night attack, you are suitable for both people and land, a black tiger digging out his heart, he must let the red thief suffer a big loss." ”

Mu Yinan was so praised by Su Jingrong, and immediately replied: "It's just a night attack, why isn't this authentic?" ”

"All walks of life are copied, and if you have the opportunity, you will go up to the city, the red thieves are only three or four hundred in the city, even if they are all on the city wall, they can't defend such a long city wall."

For such a large county town as Huangyan, the strength of five or six hundred people is indeed a little thin, so as soon as Su Jingrong said this, Mu Yinan agreed.

"Tonight's night attack, let the red thieves run for their lives, tomorrow when the heroes from all walks of life arrive, they will attack the county seat, and the six thousand brave people will level this Huangyan City."

Su Jingrong glanced at the dark Huangyan County, and the smile in her mouth became heavy: "What a big county!" "..., this is the last night in Huangyan County!

……

At this moment, the battle in Linhai County has become fierce, after Lu Ziyun's Niudao battalion entered the city, although it occupied the area around the city gate, the Qing army no longer launched a counteroffensive, but it still desperately defended it with all its might.

The battle in the dark of night was the most difficult, and the Qing army had an absolute advantage in terms of strength, and the cavalry battalion suffered slight casualties in the battle, and it had to leave men and horses to take care of the horses and the wounded, and now the combatants participating in the battle actually had only one cavalry company.

With the strength of two companies of Lu Ziying's battalion, it became difficult to attack and fight house by house, and the Qing army in front of him was much more stubborn than expected, and only after capturing the prisoner did he know the reason: "I just paid the arrears, so I have to sell my life for Zhang Futai!" We have to be worthy of this salary. ”

Moreover, the number of Qing soldiers is much more than expected, and after asking in detail, I learned that it was a Qing army general with 600 soldiers and tens of thousands of taels of military salaries who had just arrived in Linhai City today.

And with the strength of two infantry companies, it is very difficult to take the entire Linhai City, the casualties continue to increase, and now there are thirty or forty casualties, Lu Ziyun can only scold: "Damn!" Suspend the attack and wait for the troops behind to catch up! ”

As long as everything is fine in the area of the city gate, after the temporary ceasefire between the two sides, Lu Ziyun found that his stomach was already empty, but his mental state was very abnormal and extremely excited, he found two pieces of dry food on himself, and ate it directly without water.

The entire Linhai City seemed to be silent, and only the sound of the soldiers of the Rainbow Army could be heard chewing, but everyone was eating dry food in one hand and holding their rifles in the other, ready to press the trigger at any time.

Zhou Xiuying and Lu Ziyun, two old comrades-in-arms, are also standing together now, Zhou Xiuying took out horse food from his body and fed his war horse, Zhou Xiuying told Lu Ziyun: "Xu Mengchu and their team fought bravely, and the casualties were very large. ”

Lu Ziyun has the style of a general: "Yes, if he continues to behave like this, then he will be a member of our Rainbow Army!" The reason why the Qing army in front of him is so stubborn is that the military salary has just been paid, and Zhang Yuzao has offered a reward of 60,000 taels of silver, which is ours! ”

Zhou Xiuying nodded: "The other battalions will be able to come up soon!" ”

"Just one more company!"

As he was talking, there was a crisp sound of gunfire outside the city, and then a few torches could be faintly seen under the moonlight, and soon there was a fire exchange between the two front lines, and the Qing army and the Hong army both received fire, but the battle contact was very short.

It was the Panshi Battalion that came, and Sun Huzi brought most of the Panshi Battalion over, and he told Zhou Xiuying: "Camp Commander Zhou let us arrest the sheep when he dispersed them, because it was late, and there were more than 300 captives to take care of behind, so the main force did not come up!" ”

Lu Ziyun suggested: "It's good for you to come up, we will attack overnight!" ”

"Overnight attack?"

At this time, it was already late at night, and Sun Huzi hesitated for a while before putting forward his suggestion: "The troops have been fighting for a day, they are too tired, take a rest, and launch an attack tomorrow morning, otherwise how can the troops not be able to control such a night!" ”

Organizing an offensive battle in such a dark night is indeed an extremely complicated combat organization, and Zhou Xiuying feels reasonable: "The men and horses of our cavalry battalion are tired, it's best to rest!" ”

Lu Ziyun nodded: "It will be more advantageous to launch an attack tomorrow morning!" ”

Although there are now three battalions, the actual strength is only a reinforced battalion, and there are still 3,000 Qing troops in the city, and it is easy for the formation to collapse if a reinforced battalion is attacked at night, not to mention that there should be troops from other infantry battalions coming next.

Sure enough, after half an hour, the main forces of the Nanxi battalion and the dragon lance battalion rushed over, although not all the troops, but Lu Ziyun felt that he was absolutely sure of launching an attack tomorrow, and he ordered: "Let some officers and soldiers retire and rest and maintain their strength!" The front line only maintained a part of the alert troops, and many officers and soldiers still clenched their rifles tightly when they retreated, but as soon as they fell to the ground, the whole person fell asleep directly holding the rifles.

They were so tired that they had been fighting and running for almost a day, and even the fact that they didn't have a single drum to take down Linhai City had something to do with their fatigue.

Although they slept soundly, as soon as the guns rang out, they would stand up and participate in the battle as soon as possible, this is the demeanor of the old rainbow army!

And in this night, Zhang Yuzao and General Lin Shen did everything possible to transfer troops, Zhang Zhifu made up his mind, he said to General Lin Shen: "In the current situation, I can't defend the city without a generous salary, and I have decided to save thousands of strings of money in the mansion and send it to the meritorious soldiers!" ”

For the Qing army in the late Qing Dynasty, many times they got a military salary that could support their families, and their combat effectiveness was greatly improved, but General Lin only smiled bitterly.

In the current situation, what Governor Zhang does is to forcibly make up for the lack of heaven with meager strength, and this Governor Zhang is not Nuwa Niangniang.

Just looking at the excitement on Governor Zhang's face, General Lin didn't want to affect Governor Zhang's mood, so it was better to wait for the battle to win or lose before telling him.

Governor Zhang, who held tens of thousands of military salaries, was extremely excited, not only did he give each officer and soldier one or two thousand dollars, and those who had great merit were more than ten thousand, but he also said loudly: "As long as we defend our Linhai City, everyone will be rewarded!" I'll offer a reward of 60,000 taels, which definitely counts! ”

And when it was close to the early morning, Liu Chang also came up with Jintang Company, and Zhou Xiuying saw that he only brought a platoon of infantry to be in charge of the garrison, and complained as soon as he met: "Check, why did you come up with only one platoon!" ”

Liu Chang smiled: "Who said that I only brought one platoon, I contained the officers and soldiers who fell behind in each battalion along the road, and now there is a reinforced company of troops by my side, how are you doing?" ”

Qu Jie told him: "Wait for dawn to start attacking, and strive to solve the battle in an hour and a half, now there is more than half of the main force of the dragon spear regiment in the city, which is enough to solve the battle in the fastest time." ”

Liu Chang nodded: "I didn't expect to be able to knock down Linhai City so quickly, it's really an unexpected joy!" ”

As long as he conquered this seaside city, he was determined to implement his grand plan.

However, he glanced back at the south again, and imagined Shi Tinglan a little, with such a recording room by his side, many things could indeed be much more convenient.

I don't know what happened to her in Huangyan County?
