Chapter 292: The Death Warrior Goes Back
Due to the explosion of the reservoir, the Zhenhai Fort completely lost its effect, could not prevent the bombardment on the river, and the officers and men could not rise to the top at all, and even the port area could not enter.
Keichaga's worries are also clear at a glance.
"General, there are many people with lofty ideals in the city, and they all hope to be able to help, if the general can be trusted, can you let them in?"
The officers and soldiers set up a defensive line in the rear, and if it weren't for Chen Mu, they wouldn't have been able to enter at all.
Qingchang was a little impatient: "I'm afraid it's not for this, right?" β
Chen Mu did not hide it: "Yes, their families are in the port area, and the officers and soldiers can't get in, but they can go in, can they let them in to save their families?" β
Qingchang suddenly laughed: "Chen Mu, Chen Mu, are you naΓ―ve or stupid?" β
"Under the cover of artillery fire, the foreigners have occupied the port area, and the remnants of the Heavenly King Society are hiding in the port area, if I let go of the defense line, it will be equivalent to completely abandoning the port area, and the entire city of Guangzhou cannot be saved, do you understand?"
Chen Mu was also uncomfortable: "So, you can only let the people in the port area be trapped in the port?" β
If the port area is closed, those who were injured in the explosion will not be able to retreat to the rear, and the people in the port area will not be able to retreat, but can only be trampled on by foreigners, and thousands of innocent people in the entire port area!
"Do you want to save the port, or do you want to protect the entire city of Guangzhou!" Qingchang slammed the table and glared at Chen Mu angrily.
"This is the difference between the people and the officials, but also the difference between the civil officials and the military generals, I am the general of Guangzhou, what I want to protect is the whole overall situation, how can I open this gap in order to save people, and give up the garrison of the entire city!"
"If it weren't for your ability to measure in the past, I should have kicked you out now, and such words should not be preached in the army, you remember it for me!"
Chen Mu finally realized that Qingchang was Qingchang after all, and he might be able to become friends in private, but if he wore this armor, he would become a completely different person.
He wants to completely abandon the port area, even if the port area becomes a dead land, it is to block the attack of the foreigners, and he must not risk saving people, if the people in the port area retreat, the foreigners will inevitably take advantage of the situation.
Chen Mu is a person who takes care of the overall situation, he will not argue with Qingchang, he tries his best to solve this problem.
"The problem now is not in the port area, but in the foreigners, if their ships can be sunk, or they cannot be bombarded, and the firepower cannot be suppressed, the officers and soldiers will be able to successfully recover the port area, what does the general think?"
Qing Chang snorted coldly: "You said it lightly, fighting a war is not an acting, let alone a story in the romance script, * Ku was blown up by the people of the Heavenly King Society, the fort was dumb, what kind of iron-hulled ship to fight ghosts?" Can't you swim over and overturn the boat? β
Chen Mu's eyes lit up suddenly.
"This iron-hulled ship cannot be scuttled or overthrown, but the gunners can kill it! As long as you kill their gunners, or even board the ship to fight, you will be able to draw your salary! β
Qingchang laughed: "Innocent! This artillery fire is so strong that the boat can't get into the water, do you really want to swim over! β
Chen Mu nodded seriously and said, "Yes!" The brothers who make a living in the harbor are all familiar with water, and the targets of boats and boats are too large, which will attract shelling, but if you dive past, the enemy will definitely not find out! β
"What are you talking about!" Qingchang realized that Chen Mu was not talking nonsense, and he was even more furious!
"Just you people, want to board the ship and fight? Do you know how many people they have on board, and how well equipped and powerful they are? If you go up like this, you're looking for death! β
Chen Mu didn't refute either, because he knew that there wouldn't be too many soldiers on the ship.
There are several reasons, one is that the French have suffered heavy losses, whether it is FranΓ§ois or Montmoreloncy, they have lost a lot of manpower, so there will not be too many soldiers on the ship, otherwise they will not use the people of the Heavenly King's Society.
Secondly, it is not the soldiers who give them fearlessness, but the ship-borne guns, as long as these ship guns are mastered, the port area can be saved.
Besides, when it comes to boarding the ship, the people who will talk to Long Ji at three o'clock are not much worse than these officers and soldiers, especially diving!
Relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and relying on the water to draft the water, these people by the sea and the river have excellent water nature, and they are like humanoid sharks when they go into the water to touch the shellfish and color beads.
"General, I can understand that the officers and soldiers are holding the defensive line, but they are concerned about the safety of their families, and please understand the general."
"Officers and soldiers can't enter the port area, shelling is one thing, and unfamiliarity with the terrain is the key, but these brothers know the port area well, and they don't need to worry too much about ......the mountain foxes and rats."
"I don't dare to ask the general to accept the refugees in the port area, I just want the general to release the opening and let our brothers enter the port area to save people, if we can really extinguish those dozens of light artillery, I hope the general can send troops in time, this is enough."
Chen Mu had already said this, and Qingchang also sighed lightly.
"It's not that the pass can't be opened, but you are responsible for your life and death, you must not be entangled in lawsuits, let alone spread the matter, this is my bottom limit."
Chen Mu didn't have much hope for Qingchang, so he immediately responded.
When they went outside, after talking to the brothers, Wang Julou and others were also grateful to Dade, although it was a bit of a death, but it was better to be able to die with his family than to watch the fire from the other side and watch his family frightened in the war.
It's ridiculous to say, send them in desperately, they are still grateful to Dade, how much is sad and lamentable?
Time was pressing, and it was not as wordy, and more than a hundred people followed Chen Mu through the rear defense line.
Qingchang was already waiting in front of the pass, and when he saw that this group of people were all dressed in water and carrying weapons, he was also frowning.
This is also helpless, if it weren't for this situation, Chen Mu would not want to expose the brothers to the front of the officers and soldiers, after all, these weapons are forbidden.
This is tantamount to directly exposing the power of the community, if Qingchang settles accounts after the autumn, I am afraid that none of them will be able to get out.
However, Qingchang didn't say anything, but said to Chen Mu: "As soon as the cannon stops, you will go into the water and retreat, and I will send troops immediately." β
He stretched out his palm, and Chen Mu high-fived him as an oath, which could be regarded as a reassurance to many brothers.
Chen Mu looked back, everyone regarded death as home, although they were afraid, but they stood tall and held their heads high, and the righteousness was awe-inspiring!
"Let's go!"
Just as he was about to leave, a shout came from behind him: "Wait a minute! Wait a minute! β
When Chen Mu turned his head to look, he saw Huang Feihong leading dozens of people, carrying a huge medicine box, and walked quickly to this side.
"General, I'm here ...... waiting"
Qingchang also nodded: "That is the case, Chen Mu, don't bother the two masters with anything, you just protect Master Huang and the divine doctors to go in." β
Chen Mu was also stunned, he thought that Qing Chang would not save the people outside when he saw death, but it turned out that this was not the case, he still had some conscience.
Bao Zhilin was also attacked and killed, and he had just settled down, and Huang Feihong rushed here non-stop to save the dead and help the wounded, which is also admirable.
It is also a great merit that he gathered most of the Langzhong and medicine scholars in the city.
The arrival of these Langzhong also made the brothers deeply infected, and their spirits were greatly boosted, Chen Mu didn't say more, and took the lead in stepping through the defense line.
However, the scene in front of me is extremely unbearable.
The refugees from the port area came in a surging manner, and they all gathered in front of the defensive line, crying and shouting to come in and take refuge.
There were many wounded here, and the old and weak women and children were pushed and trampled, and the chaos was extreme.
Chen Mu finally understood why Qingchang didn't open the defense line and let him go, because many people died on the spot, not from shelling, but from malicious murder!
It seems that in order to provoke a bigger riot, these thugs of the Heavenly King Society have already killed Lang Zhong, who was treating the wounded!
In this chaotic scene, many brothers also had no idea where to start, and they all looked at Chen Mu.
Chen Mu glanced at Huang Feihong, and had to smile bitterly and said, "Senior brother, it seems that you and I have to work hard......
Huang Feihong also frowned, and said to Chen Mu: "Acting very well in extraordinary times, go for it." β
Chen Mu nodded, and then said to Wang Julou and the others: "You guys are lagging behind, don't take the lead, someone will conflict with me and my senior brother for a while, and they will all be killed, and you can't be soft!" β
This was the first time that Wang Julou and the others had seen Chen Mu so decisive, and their hearts tightened, and they all retreated to the sides.
When Chen Mu got out of the pass, he boarded the box in front of him and shouted from a high place.
"Calm down, everybody! Listen to me! Listen to me! β
Chen Mu was full of anger, Qingchang only cared about blocking it, and never came out to speak, everyone saw this, and they regarded Chen Mu as a person from the government.
However, instead of quieting down, they became even more angry, shouting and screaming, and they all wanted to storm the level!
Chen Mu took a full breath and said loudly.
"The peach blossoms are open and fragrant, the brother on the opposite side is Yingliang, the world's hero Red Flower Society, don't hurt yourself!"
"It's the brothers in the gang, stop!"
As soon as this remark came out, it was also deafening, the port area was originally the land of Longji and the Three Points Meeting, and many brothers restrained the left and right, and the scene was finally calmer.
Chen Mu also struck while the iron was hot: "I'm Chen Mu, this is Master Huang Feihong, take the doctor to treat everyone's injuries, please don't collide, let alone mess up!" β
Huang Feihong jumped onto the box and looked around.
In Guangzhou, who doesn't know Huang Feihong?
As soon as this move came out, the scene really calmed down.
However, it was only for a moment, and someone in the crowd suddenly shouted: "We don't want Huang Feihong, we want to go in!" We're going in! β
Although the shouts were sparse, soon, people responded from all directions, and the voices became more and more congregated!
Chen Mu was condescending, and he saw dozens of people like piranhas in the aquatic grass, quickly approaching Chen Mu's side from all directions!
As Chen Mu expected, it was impossible for these people in the Heavenly King Society to let go of this opportunity to kill Chen Mu!
Seeing that they were about to rush up, Chen Mu finally raised his hand and said to Wang Julou and the others behind him: "Come out!" β
The people of the Heavenly King Society didn't realize this, and frantically squeezed out of the crowd, and came to kill Chen Mu on three sides!
Chen Mu pressed the handle of the knife on his back waist and said to Huang Feihong: "Senior brother......"
Huang Feihong also seemed to have expected it, but nodded and said, "Be careful, where can you take care of so much......
Chen Mu didn't say anything more, bowed his head slightly, his eyes were full of murderous aura!
Lu Shengwu's death, he has been suppressing it in his heart, and now, he finally doesn't have to suppress it anymore!
