The walled city has been prepared in advance, who would have thought that it was only one day and one night, and it had already been "exhausted"!

It's also thanks to Chen Mu that he organized a sniper team of thirty or forty people outside, otherwise there would really be no way at all.

After listening to Fu Qingzhu's detailed introduction, Chen Mu also fell into deep thought.

"Although the British are not small in damage, it is unlikely that they will be forced back......"

Fu Qingzhu was not optimistic, he then turned to the black bone red: "And...... The lord of the mountain was seriously injured, the morale in the city was low, the morale of the army was weakened, and the women and children were put into the city, I am afraid that they will not be able to hold on......"

Chen Mu was also a little embarrassed, if he didn't want to come in, he wouldn't have brought these women and children in.

At that time, he also considered this, but the conclusion was the opposite of Fu Qingzhu.

He had seen a group of "daring" people such as the postman Ah Ghost, so he thought that by letting women and children into the city, in order to protect their families, the men in the city would inevitably be more fearless of death.

But when I entered the walled city, I found that the men in the walled city may have another mentality, that is, since the British can let women and children in, it means that they will let women and children in, and will not massacre civilians, as long as they give up resistance, the British will not be able to slaughter them.

Surrender has gradually become the last option.

When everyone was silent, Hei Guhong said to Chen Mu: "Don't be discouraged, if everyone wants to surrender, just surrender at the beginning, what is the purpose of sacrificing so many people?" ”

His emotions were a little excited, Chen Mu hurriedly walked over and helped the black bone red who had to sit up no matter how he was.

"Big brother, I have organized people outside, to fight guerrillas, break them one by one, and snipe these British, I believe that as long as we can persevere, we will definitely be able to drag it on!"

The black bone red's face turned a little ruddy, and he said to everyone: "What the little guy said is right, this is our last home, and we can't give up until the last moment!" ”

"Yes...... But the mountain master, you can even sit up and let people help you now, we have no leader, and our morale is even more low, where are there still people who are fighting to the death! ”

"But isn't it, even if you have to defend it to the death, someone has to come forward, and without the backbone, the morale of the army will be even more sloppy!"

Everyone questioned one after another, and they were also very frustrated, and the black bone red was a little annoyed, firstly because these people gave up easily, and secondly, they were also angry at their own incompetence.

He cast his eyes on Chen Mu and said to everyone: "Without my black bone red, and Chen Shishi, the position of the mountain master, I will let him sit!" ”

"Let me be the lord of the mountain?" Chen Mu was also a little caught off guard, because he really thought about this scene.

Before the British launched the siege, Chen Mu had already put himself in the shoes of this question, if he commanded the entire operation, how to deploy.

However, the current loss of firearms, ammunition and personnel is too serious, and it is no longer what Chen Mu imagined earlier.

"Brother, this matter needs to be considered in the long run, it's not that I'm lazy and pushback, but it's a taboo for soldiers to be handsome, and morale may not be boosted, but it will be even more sluggish......"

Chen Mu really didn't feel that this was taking advantage of others, after all, he didn't covet the position of the mountain master, let alone have much interest.

But these people once had disagreements because of the election of the mountain master, if Chen Mu was allowed to sit in this position, I don't know what kind of disgust they would suffer, not to mention whether the British would continue to attack, the inside of the walled city would fall apart first!

When Hei Guhong heard Chen Mu's words, he also patted his thigh in frustration: "But we can't just surrender like this, otherwise we won't be able to gather people's hearts in the future!" ”

"It's like going out and selling, the first compromise, and then you can only do it*! I surrendered to the British this time, and I will be a slave in the future, and I will never be able to straighten my waist again! ”

The black bones were not rough, and everyone fell into deep thought.

Chen Mu thought about it, and finally said: "Whether it is resistance or surrender, it is their own choice, but now is not the time, we still have manpower outside, and we will die first, let's see how effective the outside is." ”

Hei Guhong also nodded: "That's the only way, you will take care of me first during this time, I will pass on the word, whoever dares to disagree, I will cut off someone's head!" ”

Chen Mu didn't twist and retort, nodded and said: "Okay, it's a matter of survival, and I will do it, but I will respect everyone's wishes, and when necessary, in order to save human lives, surrender will also be an option, I hope the eldest brother can understand." ”

Chen Mu is not a soft bone, but if he wants to fight for everyone's lives in exchange for the independence of the walled city, everyone is gone, what is the use of this empty walled city?

It's just that once this kind of thought comes to mind, it can no longer be dissipated!

"We don't want an empty city, and the British don't want either! As long as the British see the determination of the walled city to save the last man, maybe they will retreat! ”

"The reason why they want to take over the walled city is that the walled city can generate enough value, if the walled city is empty, who would want such a rotten place?"

All kinds of thoughts flashed through Chen Mu's mind, and he seemed to have confidence again.

However, at this moment, the sound of artillery rang out again!

"Boom, boom!"

The location of the command post was near the city gate, the sound of artillery was deafening, and the whole earth seemed to be trembling, Chen Mu ran out to take a look, and the city wall that had gone through vicissitudes was bombarded down piece by piece, just like tofu scum!

"No wonder the casualties are so heavy......"

The British did not use the cannon on the battleship, but the powerful mountain artillery, the explosion was extremely powerful, and their strategic intention was also very obvious, they also wanted to completely deter and force the city to surrender in the shortest possible time!

The people on the city wall fled one after another, and no one dared to stay on it for even a second longer!

This is the gap between the regular army and the stragglers, and Chen Mu can finally intuitively see why the loss of the walled city is so large, because it is impossible to form an effective counterattack at all, and can only be beaten passively!

"They all fled, why did they consume so much ammunition?"

This question has just popped up, and it was quickly answered on the scene.

After the people in the walled city retreated from the city walls, they climbed the buildings inside the city and shot wildly outside the city!

As a result, although they were able to get a safe place of cover, the distance was too far for the range of their guns to be inadequate, and because of the obscuration of the walls, their shots were sound and unthreatening.

Rather than using bullets to kill and injure the enemy, it is better to use the sound of gunfire to embolden yourself, which is simply not working hard and has not achieved the desired effect!

Seeing this, Chen Mu was also annoyed, and immediately grabbed a Mauser rifle, dragged a bullet belt, and climbed to the top of the city.

Since everyone else retreated, Chen Mu's actions were clearly seen.

Chen Mu is not afraid of death, but he has seen too many such chaotic scenes.

The British Royal Wilson Muskets used the same training methods as the French Muskets, so their tactics and strategies were not much different.

Chen Mu knew their shooting trade-offs and knew their technical details, so he also had some confidence in his heart.

When he arrived at the city wall, he hid behind the battlements, cannonballs kept falling around, rubble was splashed everywhere, and Chen Mu was soon discouraged.

But he stretched out the muzzle of his gun from the firing port of the battlements.

"Bang!"

Chen Mu's gunfire was not very harsh in the cannonball, not to mention that the people behind him had been emptying their guns, and his gunfire was drowned out.

Wang Julou and the others hurriedly gave an order to stop the senseless shooting.

Chen Mu continued to release the gun, because it was a single-shot rifle, he could only pull the bolt to shoot the gun, the speed was not fast, but it was extremely rhythmic, as if he didn't need to aim at all.

In fact, Chen Mu didn't need to aim, but the time to aim was very short.

Because his marksmanship has been trained and practiced, both shooting skills and experience have reached a certain level.

Moreover, because the battlements gave him cover, the firing port was like a picture frame, framing the picture in front of him in a square, which was equivalent to giving Chen Mu a scope!

In a condescending situation, the enemy's gunners were dense, and Chen Mu had no trouble aiming at it.

However, there are still some obstacles, and after the artillery is fired, a large amount of smoke is generated, which will obscure the figure of the enemy's gunners.

Fortunately, it was windy in the past two days, and the distance was not far, so Chen Mu could still see clearly, and even see the blood-colored flowers that erupted after the enemy was shot!

The cannonade soon stopped, because Chen Mu disrupted the rhythm of their shelling!

Chen Mu held his breath and stared, and did not let the people in the city climb to the top of the city, but Wang Julou and others saw this scene, and quickly climbed to the top of the city with Sun Youlin and others.

"Bomb dropping!"

Chen Mu didn't look at it much, and immediately gave an order.

Now the opponent's gunner sniped him, suspended the shelling, and wanted to find his exact position, which was the best time to attack!

Wang Julou, Sun Youlin and other brothers did not hesitate at all, and even threw the * and the precious* that had been prepared for a long time to the city!

"Boom, boom!"

"Boom, boom!"

The huge momentum of the explosion really formed a suppression, the enemy camp retreated, and the soldiers dodged one after another, and finally achieved some results.

And at this moment, the rear of the enemy was also in chaos, and the sound of gunfire seemed to come from a distant valley, echoing constantly!

Chen Mu knew that this was the sniper team led by the postman Ah Ghost to start the operation!

Although their guns are not good, they are veterans of guns, and under the guidance of Ah Ghost, they can find the safest, most comfortable and most efficient shooting location, and the results achieved are not the same.

The rear was attacked, and the enemy was even more chaotic, Chen Mu took the opportunity to shout at the people behind him: "Come up and fight back!" Counterattack! ”

Everyone saw that the artillery fire had stopped, and their hearts were a lot calmer, and now that they had a vague upper hand, they were even more relieved, and they walked up to the city wall one after another!

Although this time they only released their guns and didn't aim at anything, but the city is the enemy's camp, as long as they aim in the general direction, they still have some gains, not to mention that they can suppress the enemy's gunfire!

Although the scene was much better, Chen Mu knew very well in his heart that it was impossible to turn defeat into victory, and he had to find another way out after all.
