The Imperial Forest Army, the Ming Army is a very elite unit compared to other Longwu Ming Army, maybe when fighting outside, they can't fight in the face of other Qing troops or famous generals of the Qing Army at the end of the Ming Dynasty, but they can face some rebels, bandits, and even other Ming army troops, they are the elite of the elite, and there is no problem in fighting ten at a time.

First of all, with spirit, wearing the original Ming army armor of the Ming Dynasty, because of a full meal, so the body is quite strong, because it is the Imperial Forest Army, so, they are quite superior, because now the national disaster is at the head, so Longwu will not give up on them, will not be the same as Emperor Chongzhen, raising a group of almost expensive Imperial Forest Army, the noble children in it are not even able to hold weapons, the Longwu Ming Army here has killed people, walked through countless places, and has a clean net worth, in order to be selected into the Royal Forest Army.

Well, these are not the main problems, the main problem is, this is the Tingzhou Mansion, the imperial court is there, why is it said that the imperial court is here?

Because there is no capital in the Southern Ming Dynasty, the emperor does not work in the capital, but outside, he is in the line, which is equivalent to the middle military tent of an army, the name of the line, etc., that is, the place where the emperor is located.

In his own nest, there are so many soldiers and horses in the city, and the emperor is also there, even the troops without combat effectiveness have to take out three points of strength to fight hard, so the Royal Forest Army lives up to its name this time.

That is to say, when a dog stands behind its owner, it barks very happily, and even dares to pounce on the living and bite the pedestrian, because it has to behave in front of the owner, so that there is ham and chicken to eat.

Bone? What is that, dogs have long stopped eating these things, and they are hard to gnaw.

Now there are more than a dozen people in front of me, and more than a dozen old and weak women behind me, this looks like a piece of fat, can you eat it early?

Do you want to wait for the rebels or the city guards to come over and share the credit?

Coupled with the numerical advantage, the 200 Imperial Forest Army, all dressed in strong and stubborn clothes, took good weapons and muskets supported by the Jinhua Righteous Army.

So in less than a few minutes, the Imperial Forest Army surrounded the Qian Mansion back and forth.

A row of royal forest soldiers squatted in front, set up shields, and the steel shields supported by the Jinhua rebels were heavier, but the defense was strong.

Ordinary buckshot shot from a distance of 100 meters could not penetrate it.

A platoon of arquebusiers crouched behind the shieldmen, resting their arquebuses on the shoulders of the shieldmen, aiming at the gate of the Qian Mansion.

I can vaguely hear the noisy voices behind the gate of Qianfu, as if they are looking for something to block the gate, and you can also hear someone shouting inside: "Quick, cut down the tree, pin the trunk behind the gate, the one who will lift this stone table to the top behind the gate, you go and demolish the house in the backyard, bring all the bricks and stones, and fill in the ...... behind the gate."

Well, it sounds like it's speechless, and you can't get through a door when you think about it.

If you want to go in, you have to pull the red-coated cannon at the head of the city and bang it.

The problem is that there is no such time right now.

Isn't it a great achievement that the Imperial Guards can catch the families of the rebels and the rebels? Wait for the cannons to come, then don't you wait for the rest of the army in the city?

Without saying anything, the leading general of the Imperial Forest Army waved his hand, the archers aimed at the wall on both sides, someone brought a ladder, and the Royal Forest Army soldier in charge of the attack stepped on the ladder to climb the wall.

The person in charge of the Qian Mansion of the Milin Guards, a small team leader, has already made preparations in the Qian Mansion, if the Royal Forest Army sees them rushing in, then, they will resist for about ten minutes at most, and all the people will die, and the matter will be over.

But the Imperial Forest Army prepared for more than ten minutes and surrounded the Qian Mansion, so he was also given ten minutes to prepare.

In the past ten minutes, he has already done what he can do in defense, and it is the best under the current conditions of the Qian Mansion.

The gate was blocked by the stone table that Qian Bingrup used to play chess, and more than a dozen rafters were added to it, which was the roofing material that Qian Bingrup was going to use to build a west house, as well as the window frames of the removed backyard windows, plus the removed stones, the ancient big green bricks, and the soil in the courtyard, which had already made the gate a thick city wall.

The window frames of the house in the front yard were all torn down, and the trees were behind the wall, ready to step on these things to strike the enemy outside the wall.

Soon the twenty people took turns to use axes, cut down a tree with a thick bowl mouth, and carried it to the middle of the courtyard, and used bricks and stones and mud to build a chest wall that could be squatted behind.

At least it can give the soldiers some psychological comfort and a place to hide.

So the three of them went to the backyard, the three of them hid under the window of the house that entered the courtyard, and the two of them squatted behind the breastwork, all of them holding short firecrackers in their hands.

Because many times they protect generals and officials, most of the attacks they receive are sudden attacks at close range, and the attack distance of 30 meters of the short fire gun is constant, and those who are more than ten meters will die, the caliber is too big, and the thumb is thick.

However, the recoil is also loud and the sound is not small.

After the improvement, the use of granules to order gunpowder and bullets, the power is even higher, and it is effortless to penetrate shields other than steel shields within thirty meters.

Fifty meters is still lethal, and sixty meters can't beat a soldier who can't wear armor, as long as he is unlucky, he will definitely not die or be seriously injured.

In addition, there are three bows, this bow is found from Qian Bingji's mansion, the guards do not have the habit of carrying bows and arrows, but the shield has a few sides, but it is an arm shield, a small shield, used to protect one's face and chest.

Three bows were carried by three intelligence officers on the roof of the first and second courtyards, one was to monitor the enemy outside the house, and the other was a hand that could help the people below in times of crisis, and the two bows were arranged in the backyard, and one bow was in the front yard.

Because of the lack of manpower, many places can not take care of it, the team leader arranged people in the front yard, the backyard is only early warning and monitoring, there are not many people in the backyard seven people, nine people in the front yard, plus the subordinates of the Qian Mansion, five young and strong men, the combat effectiveness of the front yard is only 14 people, the combat effectiveness of the backyard is five people, and the rest are the old and weak and women and children of the Qian Mansion.

All seven men in the front yard had short firearms, one with a shield and a dagger, and one on the roof.

There were five people in the backyard, two with short firearms, the remaining two with broadswords and spears, one with daggers and shields, and two people squatting on the roof.

As the Guards cowered from the wall, the seven short guns in the front yard opened fire.

With the sound of muskets, the three unprotected guards on the wall screamed, fell off the wall, and died.

Two of them were hit by the flying rubble, and they also screamed in pain and fell off the ladder.

Another fell off a ladder in fright at the sound of gunshots and broke his leg.

The leading general of the Royal Forest Army gasped, why is the rebel firepower in this so strong?

Although it caused fright and casualties to the Imperial Guards who climbed the wall, after all, the number was too small and the muskets were too few, and there were more than 30 Royal Guards who climbed the wall, except for a few cowardly people who took the opportunity to slip off the wall and pretend to be injured, there were still more than a dozen people, who stood up straight on the wall with their shields on their heads.
