Fan Rujie hurriedly ordered to adjust the formation and avoid the cold spear of the Qing Demon. I was a little impatient in my heart, people half-covered the door for you to attack, obviously provocative, and even returned with a feather, at this time to re-prepare to fill the moat, catch up with the ladder, and fight on the wall instead? Coming and going, time, food, morale, too many factors, slow down. If you want to suppress the Qing Demon firearm on the gatehouse, you can only defeat the enemy by throwing it with a strong bow and then rushing in with one blow.

Strong bow, there are two kinds, the north is good at riding, the bow and arrow are designed according to the standard of the horse, whether the bow or arrow standard is the same, the bow is only soft and hard, the strongest has eight stone hard bow, if it can be pulled away, you can shoot one or two hundred steps, and the good hand can only play the five-stone bow, the legend says that a hundred steps through Yang is the limit, the so-called hard bow, a kind of strong bow.

The south is mountainous, watery, not good at riding and shooting, good at foot combat, in the early years, I saw the barbarians with a kind of 'longbow' inspired, according to their own shape, to make a kind of 'longbow', longer than the current standard bow, the arrow is also long, not suitable for riding archery, this bow is not for everyone to use, the height of the arm can be full of bow, shoot one or two hundred steps away, this 'longbow' is also a kind of strong bow.

The strongbow in the Taiping army belonged to the latter. There are only about 100 such strong bows in Fan Rujie's army, and they are generally used in special situations with the commander's banner and large battalions.

In front of the handsome banner, a hundred outstanding strong archers received the task: to rush to within one hundred and fifty steps of the gatehouse, throw arrows, and come to him to scatter flowers, indiscriminately suppress. Other soldiers took the opportunity to enter, as long as they could pour into the half-hidden city gate, and then follow, the city would be broken at their fingertips.

Wu Neng actually used the clairvoyant mirror to observe the opposite side of the formation, this mountain town system of clairvoyant mirror is a good thing, even the other party's expression is clearly visible, you don't need to guess to know what Changmao is thinking. He arranged for two regimental grenades to be accurate, prepared grenades, and asked the muskets on both sides to focus on the archers who came up, and the ten gunners still blocked the stone bridge, confident.

The drums of war were tight, and the long-haired brigade was stupidly dispatched, and this time there were many soldiers, three or four thousand people, with the intention of crushing, and the strong archers were divided into fifty people on each side, and approached under the encirclement of the shield bearers.

"Bang bang bang!" Long Hair was not in a hurry, but when he entered the range of two hundred paces, he was not aware of the danger, and the gunshots rang out sporadically, and more than ten people fell on the spot, and Long Hair began to charge in surprise.

"Kill!"

"Bang bang bang!" In an instant, there was a burst of gunfire, this time with full firepower.

Due to the fetters of dead and wounded in front, the action was slightly sluggish, and when they rushed into the range, there were already many strong archers who had been shot, and the long-haired soldiers originally planned to shoot at the limit distance of one hundred and fifty paces, but they did not expect that at the distance of two hundred paces, they would attack, and the range difference was fifty steps, and the fatal fifty steps!

The long-haired soldiers are brave, and there are many strong archers who are not afraid of death, regardless of the assault in place, only to see the big men, holding their heads high, stretching their bows and arrows.

"Whoosh!" The arrow flies to the city tower, although it is a strong bow, can shoot one hundred and fifty steps away, but the gatehouse flat shooting is not strong enough, only the high throw can be reached, there are already three or five arrows flying to the gatehouse, there are members of the group caught off guard by the arrow to scratch the scalp, blood is like an injection, fortunately the end of the strong crossbow, can not hurt the life.

"Boom, boom...... Boom! Boom! "Grenade projectile, one hundred and fifty steps is already the limit distance, firing diagonally. At that time, there were few geometric concepts in people's knowledge structure, only the sky was round and the place was round, and the square had the concept of diagonality, that is, the angle of forty-five degrees.

The grenade is delayed for one and a half breaths, in principle, if it is the farthest distance, it should explode before it lands, yes, the flowers bloom above the head, fifty steps away from the stone bridge, it is the place where the formation is dense, and the red envelope is crowded, after the explosion, I saw the blood foam flying sideways, and the explosion point was more than ten steps away, and the long-haired soldiers fell to the ground in a scattered shape.

I saw two members of the volunteers, pulling the bolt, pressing the bullet, loading the grenade, hanging the pull ring, putting the right direction, and raising the muzzle: "Boom, boom...... Boom! Boom! ”

There are too many people in front of the stone bridge, and it is difficult to hurt a few people!

Dozens of people have already crossed the stone bridge, and the long-haired sea tactics have worked, also because of the strong bow suppression.

The situation was tense, and Zhang Yingquan and Wu Neng actually put in the shooting, which happened to be the accurate shooting range of the short gun.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Boom! Boom! "The long fur pounced to within fifty paces, and Wu Neng actually raised his arm and threw a grenade, and the front of the city gate was immediately emptied, and no living creature was found.

In a moment, none of the strong archers survived under the care of the strong archers, there were no arrows on the top of their heads, the morale of the regiment was lifted, and they pressed the bullets and shot without distraction, and the long-haired attack line gradually retreated to a hundred and fifty steps away from the stone bridge, and the soldiers in front were either dead or wounded, and the volunteers played a sense of rhythm.

"Bang bang!" On the opposite side, Mingjin withdrew his troops and withdrew from a mile of land one by one.

As far as the eye can see, there are at least six or seven hundred corpses, lying horizontally and vertically around the stone bridge, Wu Neng actually knows that no less than 200 people have been killed by grenades alone, and it is indeed a sharp weapon to defend the city.

This mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, even those who have been in battle for a long time can't help but turn their stomachs.

There were almost no casualties in the volunteers, although the arrows flew to the door, but they were powerless, and they fell straight down, only playing a role in interference, the volunteers hid behind the wall battlements, plus the hats were thick, protecting the head, there were injuries and abrasions, shoulder and arm injuries were the most, just bandage it with the medicine cloth provided by John, and many injuries might as well fight.

"Reload your ammunition." Wu Neng actually gave an order, he knew that the consumption of ammunition was large, and half of the fifty equipment bullets per person would be consumed, and the gap between the battles should be reloaded and replenished as soon as possible, if it continues to fight at this pace, eat some food, drink saliva, and be in good condition, Changmao's kick can be regarded as a kick to the stone.

General Tang's top priority is to rectify military affairs, assign his own personal soldiers to control the battalion soldiers, and drive out those bare-rod generals and bare-rod thousands, and when they wake up, the bastard battalion officers who run away from their subordinates, regardless of whether they are high or low, whether they are big or small, will all be pulled out and cut down, and the military law will be clear! Anyway, my head has already been earned, what are you afraid of? Regardless of the brave battalion, the green battalion, and the flag battalion, they are all under their own direct orders, and put the officials, errand officers, treasury soldiers, and auxiliary soldiers, so to speak! Those who eat below the fifth grade are all assembled, and they go to the streets to maintain law and order, and all of them serve as auxiliaries.

After the rectification, there are still 6,000 men and horses, if it is said that the soldiers use their lives, this city should be no problem to hold on for a few days, it is reported that the general of Hangzhou arrived in Jinxian County last night to camp, reinforcements are coming, this is to summon up confidence.

There had already been a gunshot in Xicheng, and this time it was even more intense, and there was the sound of explosions, and I felt uneasy. As soon as he arranged to stop, he brought people to the west gate, and saw the city gate half-hidden from a distance, and the secret road in his heart was not good, until he climbed the gatehouse, he didn't see anything abnormal, and when he asked, the volunteer group didn't pay attention to themselves, it was done by the brave battalion who guarded the door, Tang David only snorted, and said: "Find out, cut it!" "Now that people are tigers, who dares to provoke him?

General Tang looked outside the city and froze: "This is the result of the battle just now?" ”

"Hah! I said these long hairs, why do you think about our Simon? It turned out that the door was not closed properly, recruiting bandits! "Wu Neng actually fought haha.

"Excuse me, go out to check, remember the merits!"

"Huh?"

"Lord Tang, this west gate is intact, can it be defended?"

"Hmmm! Wait until you rest. ”

Still fifty-three horsemen, open the gates, and go out of the city like the wind.

The Volunteer Regiment proposed to continue to attack the long-haired supply, according to Wu Nengjing's statement, there are few people, good mobility, don't fight a big battle, smash a pot, burn a grain and grass or something, or do what you can, besides, this time the weakness of Longhair is the supply, and if you fight well, you will get twice the result with half the effort. Let Tang David be extremely moved, the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty are like volunteers, why worry?

Fan Rujie was annoyed, the attack did not go well, and the casualties reached 700 people.

Suddenly, the Qing Demon Cavalry went out of the West Gate, what do you want to do? It's been quiet for a few days, and you can still make a haunt?

"Report! After the Qing Demon Musketeers raided the barracks, they threw that kind of explosive thunder, blew up the site where they had just buried the pot for cooking, and burned a lot of grain and grass. ”

"Smashing the pot? Damn it! ”

"Report! The division commander broke through the south gate, and the Qing demon was counterattacking. ”

"Herald! Don't be busy burying the pot and cooking, pull out the camp and go to the south gate. ”

After the rectification, the south gate garrison 1,000 soldiers, but also responsible for the left and right two sections of the city wall, the leader of the army is the original Tang general's personal soldiers, this person means well, three or two to shock the general soldiers, Erfeng, Erlu, are all for the emperor's grace, fighting is the ability to do the best, Yunyun teaching, soft and hard.

At first, the long hair came to the south gate only 3,000 men and horses, it is said that the power to attack the city, just for the test, the first wave of attacks did not cross the moat, was driven back by a rain of arrows, the leader of the division was unwilling, organized archers to shoot, gradually gained the upper hand, did not see muskets and other sharp weapons to defend the city, bold, listened to the battle of the West Gate, committed two poles, charged.

"Suncheon! Suncheon! "The price of the earthquake is sky-shattering.

The archers approached and threw their shots, and the rain of arrows pressed down on the tower, and a group of soldiers carried two thick logs, and under the cover of the shieldmen, they charged and slammed the door.

"Tom!"

Stones and stakes fell on the city, and there were countless casualties, this is a war of attrition without technical content, but it is effective, the defenders are few, there is no backup, and the strength is gradually declining, and the long hair is not much better, the casualties are even worse, count the number of people, only half is left, keep up the good work! If the second pole is a strong offense, no one can stop it.

"One-two............ Boom", the city gate collapsed, and the short soldiers were connected, only a moment of time, a few in and a few out, and the blood stained the south gate.

Hundreds of long-haired soldiers broke into the city and occupied the south gate, and the soldiers defending the city were exhausted.

General Tang was shocked when he heard this, and led all 1,500 motorized soldiers to rush to the south gate desperately.

Outside the city, the dust is flying, and the Taiping Army Brigade has 10,000 soldiers and horses, and the pennant is displayed, only a few miles away.

"Suncheon! Suncheon! "The roar was like thunder.

Suddenly, fifty-three horsemen were killed in the oblique ground, and they rushed straight to the south gate, and the front was Wu Nengjing, who saw him like a demonstration teaching, gesticulating, bringing the reins, stabilizing the horse's steps, lifting the left arm and holding the gun, aiming at the .......

"Bang!" Before he could reload, he put the gun on his back, drew his command knife, and accelerated his charge, and the regimental members behind him did ...... like this.

"Bang bang bang!" With a gun on his back, he pulled out his spear, and as a saber maker, he waved a knife flower above his head, and roared ...... excitedly.

"Whew-!" It was almost a wolf howl, directly killing the long-haired soldiers who had not had time to climb the gatehouse.

The long-haired soldier was tired, suddenly attacked by the cavalry, and even the will to resist disappeared, only to hear a row of gunfire, fell down, and before he could react, the sound of horses' hooves shattered, the knife flashed, chopping melons and vegetables.

Hundreds of long-haired soldiers don't go back to the city, thinking that you are ruthless! Forgive you for not fighting street fights.

The volunteers directly placed the horses in the urn city, and all the personnel went to the gatehouse, and the Taiping army in the distance had entered the line of sight and was ready for battle!

Fan Rujie personally led the main force of the army to the south gate, and saw the gate open in the distance, excited! shouted: "Go into the city to cook and feast for three days!" ”

The front army was still a hundred steps away from the moat.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

The scattered muskets rang out, and Fan Rujie's heart fell into the abyss, this is the rhythm of Ximen? This door is bigger than the West Gate? Is this another play? What about my besiegers?

In the city, General Tang carried a tiger head knife, with more than 1,000 soldiers, chased and killed the long hair that sneaked into the city, easy to recognize, red turban, draped hair, just cut it, that's right, poor long hair, dodge the cavalry's saber, can't avoid the general's tiger head knife, is still the life of being cut melons and vegetables.

A group of long-haired people began to charge, this time the fate was worse than the last time, first of all, there was no strong bow to suppress, and the two of them had experience, and the more they fought, the more brave they became, and they were at ease.

"Bang bang bang ......!"

"Boom, boom,...... Boom! Boom! ”

The passage of the gate was so wide that it was blocked by fifty muskets and grenades, and it became a grinding disc of flesh.

At the outer entrance of the city gate, after killing the Liukou Tang Shen General, the big knife was still dripping blood, taking a solid step, taking the lead to move outside the door, and the generals and soldiers behind him were full of bravery, all of them were blood-stained.

Seeing this, Longhair's footsteps were slow and his expression was solemn. When the Lord saw this, he secretly shouted in his heart that it was not good, this is desperately coming? A slap on the thigh: "Let's go!" The whole army retreats! Back to Tianjing. ”

"Bang bang!" Mingjin withdraws his troops.

General Tang Shen looked up to the sky and shouted: "My generation is not a Penghao person!" Hahaha! ”
