readx; On the first day of November, the weather starts to get cold. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info but the busy crowds on the streets are still there. Chen Feng and the others called a meeting of naval officers at the temporary headquarters early in the morning. The venue is divided into two rows on the left and right: Carlos, Andrews, Hu Hanmin, Zheng Zhihua, Chen Ziqiang, Chen Zizhong, Hu Jiangong, Zhao Xiang, Wu Tianyun, Zhang Tang, Wei Er. On the right are Babsa, Andes, Huang Renzhong, Li Quanda, Zhao Mang, Wu Xueren, Zhang Dahan, Luo Zhengren, Chen Jian'an. The main seat is Chen Feng and Chen Chun.

Chen Feng looked at everyone, then drank a cup of tea and said, "Everyone, the army is doing a good job now, I don't know what you are doing." ”

"My lord, our navy is no worse than their army. Recruits are already able to complete various operations independently. The boats are also working well together, and we are now working hard to complete the operation and drill of the new guns. Carlos replied.

"Well, well done. Wu Xueren, you are the chief of the entire navy, now let's talk about your family background! ”

"Yes, my lord, the navy has 2 Western-style sailing ships and 1 1,000-material warship. Three 1000 material transport ships. There are also 5 ships with hundreds of materials. There are 330 naval combat personnel and 460 other personnel. There is a military port and a dock under construction. There are also 120 expatriate learners. ”

"Very well, now that the Navy is also going to be built, I announce a new appointment: Babsa is the commander-in-chief of the Navy, with the rank of colonel. Anders is Chief of Naval Training, with the rank of colonel. Hu Hanmin was the captain of the Hurricane with the rank of lieutenant colonel, Chen Ziqiang was the captain of the Batavia, and the other four Fu ships were all changed to warships, divided into Fuxing, Fuguo, Fubao, and Fuhai. The captains were: Chen Zizhong, Zhao Xiang, Wu Tianyun, Zheng Zhihua, Zhang Tang, all with the rank of major. The other 5 Haicang were converted into patrol boats, namely Haifeng, Hailang, Haishan, Seawolf, and Haijiao. Captain Wei Er, Billis, Huli, Wu Dakai, Zhang Haier Major ranks. The appointment is so that the following personnel are up to you. ”

"Lord Xie promoted!" The people stood and saluted.

Chen Feng took a sip of tea and said, "Do you have any good opinions about the navy, and please make more suggestions." Let's talk about it! ”

After a pause, Wei Er stood up and arched his hand and said: "Two adults, there is a suggestion below, not long ago, the army vetoed the arrow shell, but for our navy, that shell has great benefits, everyone knows that the army likes ricochet, but our navy wants a straight trajectory and good penetration." The arrow shell is excellent in both places, and I hope the Navy will use this artifact. What the Army doesn't like is not necessarily what the Navy can't use. ”

After listening, everyone discussed for a while, and finally everyone unanimously agreed that this was a good opinion. Chen Feng and the others also thought that this suggestion was very good, so they adopted it.

Then Chen Feng said to Babsa: "Father, I don't know what happened to your clock?" ”

"My lord, I don't know if you call me a priest to respect me or belittle me." Barbusa said nonchalantly

"Oh! It's me who is wrong, but Babusa, you are so talented, I don't know what to call you old man for a while, please forgive me! ”

"Thank you, sir, for taking a heavy interest in me. I've developed the clock, but I can't make it out of the glass, so please forgive me. In addition, I used my medical knowledge combined with Daming's medical knowledge to reorganize a new medical theory. I think my surgery plus Daming's herbal medicine and acupuncture can do some surgical procedures. For example, if a limb needs to be amputated, it can be done after a long period of anesthesia. Then disinfect it with Daming's spirits, plus a variety of herbs to condition it may be successful. In addition, the effect of anesthetizing the injured wounded with nay grass, drunken fish grass, and dhara flowers is also very good. And the anti-inflammatory effect of Houttuynia cordata is so good that I recommend adults to plant and accumulate it in large quantities. I'm done, two of you. ”

"Great, Babusa, you are really an angel in the sky, I now appoint you as the dean of the Naval and Army Medical College, and you will help me train more medical personnel in the future."

"My lord, I would like to recommend you a person here, his name is Fan Renzhi. What I'm talking about is what I'm working on with him. I don't want to take this halo alone. I don't think I could have done anything good without him. ”

"Well, you're a talented scholar. I'm glad that the people you recommend must be just as talented as you. That Fan Renzhi is treated the same as you. Now I don't know how to reward you, you can say it yourself! ”

"My lord, there is a saying in the Ming Dynasty, there are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is great. I'm in my early 50s. But with the help of Dr. Fan Renzhi, I think the majesty is still there. I now want to be a great Ming man and spread out here. Please help me, sir. ”

"This matter~~~~~ this matter, you can't solve it yourself?" Chen Feng was embarrassed

"My lord, it's hard. I'm getting old, you see I'm covered with hair, no woman dares to approach me! After saying that, many people in the hall laughed. Only those red-haired people were there with the same disease.

Chen Feng also wanted to laugh, but he still held back a smile and said, "Everyone don't laugh, just be quiet." are all colleagues, who have no shortcomings. I can help you, but I'm afraid that the woman I've found is not suitable for you! ”

"Adults, as long as you can have children, be like a person. That's it. ”

"Okay, I'll try to satisfy you."

"Thank you, sir."

"And you individuals, if there are any of you who want to help like Babsa, you will also raise your hand generously." After Chen Feng finished speaking, all the red-haired people lowered their heads and raised their hands.

"Okay, this matter will be wrapped up in my two brothers, and you will invite us to a wedding wine when the time comes!"

"Thank you, sir."

~~~~~~~。

After the meeting, the two extended their condolences to the navy again. Many red-haired devils wept bitterly after hearing that adults were going to arrange marriages for them. Ay! You know, even in Europe, there are still a large number of men who can't find wives. Seafarers were the lowest class at the time. No status to speak of. Not to mention.

So the next day, Chen Chun ordered people to find more than 20 defiled women, and about 50 more good-looking widows under the age of 35 inside and outside Qinzhou to match to this group of red-haired devils. Three days later, Chen Feng and the others held a group wedding for them in the naval camp, and the 70 couples were carried out according to the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty.

On 10 November, the crops on the ground were ready to be harvested, and the crops of the two heroes were harvested, but although the crops of the peasants were not good, they still went to work in the fields for a mouthful of food. Picture a living mouth. Chen Feng and the others practiced with the soldiers in the barracks. It was noon, and a fast horse went straight to the camp. Immediately, a soldier in his early twenties shouted as he rode his horse: "The city is in a hurry, the city is in a hurry." Entering the camp, the soldier dismounted and headed straight for the intelligence room. After a while, a whining alarm sounded in ~~~~~the barracks.

So the barracks began to operate urgently. Chen Feng led everyone back to the intelligence room. Entering the doorway, the crowd stood and saluted. The urgent newspaper soldier gasped and reported: "Report, a large number of Tusi and Annan thieves have been found in the area from the city to Dongxing. After speaking, he took out an iron box from his arms and handed it to Chen Feng and said, "My lord, this is detailed information. On the next way back, many Han people have been driven to Qinzhou, and there may be a large number of displaced people tonight. Please prepare in advance. ”

"You're doing a good job, let this brother rest well. Now everyone immediately went to the headquarters to analyze the information. Teams are ready to play"

"Yes!"

In less than half an hour, all the army and navy officers had gathered at the headquarters. The people sat down in their seats. Fang Shiping stood up and pointed to the map and said, "Everyone, according to intelligence analysis, this attack is more than 20,000 people from the Mo clan and the heavens, and the Tusi of Shangsi. Respectively from Dongxing, Shangsi two directions. It may now have converged in the area of the Qintang River. It is estimated that we will be in contact with the enemy in the Maoling River. In addition, Mohs is equipped with 500 Apocalypse-style guns sold by our army. Although it is not as good as our army, it cannot be underestimated. They have a lot of guns and artillery, and the soldiers of the toasts should be more careful, they are famous Guangxi soldiers, and they are not afraid of death. And there were also mountain cavalry with a large number of horses. ”

After speaking, everyone thought for a while. Li Liejun stood up and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, I think that this time our army should be divided into two routes, one main force will conduct a defensive battle with the enemy in the Maoling River, and the other will take a boat to meet the defenders of the Longmen Guard, and then land in Qisha to form a two-way clamp. How is it? ”

In this way, I feel that there is something wrong with it. Just for expediency. When our army eliminated the enemy, it should attack the foundation of the Mo clan, and should also send foreign envoys to lobby the Chen and Li clans, so that the Mo clan will be attacked on three sides. In addition, the navy was used to strike and loot along the Mo's coast, and then the prisoners were used to write letters to ask for the guilt. He Fangxing smoothed the long beard road.

"That's very good, what else do you have to do?" Chen Feng looked at the crowd.

"My lord, I feel that it is dangerous to divide the troops, the enemy's strength is not small, although our army is strong but there are few people, it is still not divided into seconds." Fang Shiping owed.

"Yes, brother, I don't think it's divided into seconds."

"As the saying goes, if you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger. I am not afraid of this danger. Can you be confident? ”

"I am willing to die for my lords."

"Okay, Huang Jiming, you defend in the camp, Chen Chun, you lead the navy and the three battalions to join the defenders at the Longmen Guard to copy the enemy's rear road, remember to attack the enemy from the back when my main force is intractable from the enemy. I led the 1,2 battalion artillery to face the enemy head-on. In addition, all prisoners are given a chance, and if they are willing to fight with our Shuangxiong Army, they will be exempted, and if they are willing to join the Shuangxiong Army, they are also welcome. In addition, the recruitment conditions were relaxed in the city, and anyone who was willing to help the fighters of the Shuangxiong Army under the age of 35 could join the army, and each person was given 10 taels of silver. The major families should also lobby more for them to become more monks. Tomorrow I will see 2,000 people go to the battlefield. Because we probably won't have reinforcements. With that said, let's get moving. I personally lead the main force. ”

"Yes!"

At about 3 o'clock, the departments were ready to go. Chen Feng's main reconnaissance team has set off. A contingent of more than 2,000 people also drove more than 100 horse-drawn carriages and a contingent of more than 2,000 people from the barracks to Huangwutun. Chen Feng led the officers at the forefront of the ranks, each riding a local pony, and a sun and moon flag and two cross eagle flags of the two male armies fluttered in the wind. There are also two big flags in the team, which are the wolf head flag of the first battalion and the tiger head flag of the second battalion. The other flags are also dancing with beasts. Except for the moon flag, which has a yellow background, the others have a red background. In the evening, the troops marched to Kangxiling Town. Refugees began to appear on the road. Chen Feng ordered the displaced people to set up camp here. The logistics troops began to set up tents and cook porridge to appease the refugees. And among them, some young and strong men were singled out to enlist in the army. With the presence of officers and soldiers, the refugees were also appeased. Seeing the preferential treatment of the officers and soldiers, many young men were also willing to help the Shuangxiong Army, and some men whose family members were killed volunteered to join the Shuangxiong Army to avenge their families. Under the publicity and inducement, more than 300 people were soon recruited. and 500 people.

In the middle of the night, the two heroic armies marched to the Maoling River, and there were also sparks on the opposite river. Chen Feng looked at the other side and said, "It seems that the enemy is also coming as scheduled." This fierce battle is either your death or my life, there is no second way. ”

Along the way, more than 100 soldiers and 200 people were recruited. The men and the logistician began to dig trenches. Along the small flat land more than a mile wide of the ferry, two trenches separated by about 100 meters were excavated. Outside the trench, there was a three-mile area for the enemy to land. Two trenches and three traffic trenches are connected. In the innermost trench near the hill, there were also turrets made of sacks of mud to accommodate the old 8-pounder Franc gun. The newly designed 2-pounder 4-pounder gun leveled the ground slightly higher than 10 meters behind the trench. The newly made Tiger Squat Cannon was placed in the middle of the first and second trenches. At the same time in the open space outside, a line was marked with lime in order to know that the enemy was within artillery range. At the same time, 50 meters from the trench, mines were laid. The mines were connected one by one with a fast fire rope, and then a bamboo pipe attached a fire rope to the trench so that it could be ignited.

By the river, reconnaissance teams are patrolling. The fire on the opposite side began to increase in size. At the same time, I heard the screams of the refugees being killed, and the women being screamed by the lewdness. Ding 2 and Ding 3 are the captains and vice-captains of the reconnaissance team. The two of them were so upset that they rushed over and slashed in their hearts. The other team members also gritted their teeth. A member of the team in his twenties couldn't help it, so he whispered, "Captain, you asked me to go over and make a few of those thieves." I feel uncomfortable and panicked. ”

"Everyone has to settle down, they can't do anything big in the past, and they lost their lives. We are here to prevent the enemy from infiltrating at night. This is our task, everyone has their eyes on the river. Tomorrow they will be good-looking. Ding Er softly reassured everyone.

At dawn, both sides began to cook over the fire. The trenches were also dug up, and a battalion, acting as a striker, was stationed in the trenches. The 2nd Battalion sent the 4th and 5th companies to the ferry for a symbolic defense, and at the same time brought in 5 2-pounder furlong cannons. The men carried the prepared mud bags on their backs and made a trench line. The 6th Company trained the recruits in the back on how to use weapons and some basic combat maneuvers.

It was almost noon, and the opposite river began to see countless bamboo rafts launching into the water, and Li Er immediately sent someone to report back. After a while, there was no water in sight on the surface of the river, which was a mile wide on the opposite side. At the same time, a line of white smoke rose from the shore. "Shelling." The people immediately took refuge in the mud trenches. Immediately after that, the sound of artillery came. The mud-wrapped wall was suddenly hit by cannons, and the dirt flew everywhere. Some of the shells pierced through the mud packs, knocking down the soldiers inside. There were also two rounds that fell directly into the wall, forming ricochets and killing 3 soldiers. From time to time, screams were heard.

Artillery fire continued to shell 5 rounds in a row. But most of them fell into the water or smashed on mud bags, and there were no major casualties. When the artillery fire stopped, Li Er got up and saw that the enemy's bamboo raft was less than 100 meters away from the ferry. On the surface of the river, there is basically no water surface now, but a wide bamboo bridge. Don't miss the fighter. So Li Er ordered and shouted: "Give me all fire." ”

Gunfire rang out at the same time, and the enemy crossing the river was suddenly put down in front of the row like a rice harvester. The corpses that fell down immediately stained the clear water of the river red. 5 guns opened fire at the same time, and the straight ballistic volley swept down 7,8 people before hitting the bamboo raft and ricocheting, and then knocking down 4,5 people before losing power. The dense rate of musket and artillery fire made the enemies on the river fly with flesh and blood, and the screams continued. Hundreds of dead bodies appeared on the surface of the water less than 100 meters at once.

Ten rounds of artillery fire were quickly completed, and the retreat began. Without the aid of artillery fire, the enemy suddenly reduced the surface of the river to less than thirty meters. At this time, enemy artillery fire began to sound. Some of the shells hit their own rafts, but many of them also hit the two heroes. From time to time, people fell to the ground and screamed. At the same time, the jets of water and mud stirred up made it impossible for the soldiers to shoot accurately. The enemy braved their own artillery fire and advanced regardless of their lives.

Li Er looked at the situation, and then saw that the artillery team behind him had withdrawn, so he ordered to retreat. The soldiers carried or supported their wounded comrades in the retreat. But the enemy was less than thirty meters away, and the enemy's muskets began to fire. From time to time someone is shot down. The battle went into a stalemate. After the lives of nearly 300 people. Only then did the two sides leave the fire contact. But in this battle, the enemy dropped at least 2,000 men. Because the people crossing the river are indeed too dense.

Chen Feng watched the tragic situation of the battlefield from afar, and secretly asked himself in his heart if he could hold it this time. Li Er withdrew and found Chen Feng to report: "Report, my lord." The first battle of the lower officials was ineffective, and he lost more than 300 brothers, so please surrender your lordship. ”

Chen Feng looked at Li Er, whose face was covered with dust, and then helped him up and said, "You did a good job, no one can blame you, the enemy is acting according to our plan." There will be even worse battles ahead, will you blame me? ”

"My lord, as long as we are alive, we will not let those enemies advance even half a step. Please rest assured. Li Xiang arched his hand.

"Okay, they are all my good brothers, I Chen Feng~~~ can't be repaid, please accept my worship!" After speaking, Chen Feng bowed to everyone.

"My lord, the enemy does not allow women to see her. I'll go ahead and meet the enemy. Take care"

"Take care, sir."

Everyone left one by one, only taking Li Er and Chen Feng. Chen Feng glanced at it, and then said, "Li Er, you immediately reorganize the second battalion now and support the front line at any time." ”

"Yes!"

"The convoy will follow me to direct the battle."

"Yes!"

Chen Feng led a 30-member escort to the battlefield. By this time, the enemy had landed more than 3,000 people, and began to charge the two heroes again. The first trench was guarded by a total of 700 people in the first and second companies. As soon as he arrived at the trench, Li Xiang led people to Chen Feng and arched his hand: "My lord, now is not the time for you to come to help, if you have three long and two short, who will be in command." If you can't believe our brothers, then please remove us from our posts on the spot. After saying that, everyone knelt down in unison.

"Brothers, please get up quickly. It's my fault, but to see the brothers fighting bloodily. I really want to face a strong enemy with my brothers. ”

"If you really care about the life and death of your brothers, please move to the rear quickly and preside over the overall situation." Deng Wenjian knelt on the ground and arched his hand.

Everyone also chimed in: "Please move to the rear and preside over the overall situation." At this time, Shi Ping also came to kneel down with a staff officer and said, "My lord, please go back quickly." How can you fight without you? Please take care of the overall situation! ”

Li Xiang stood up at this time and waved his hand and shouted: "Brothers of the first battalion, who gave me today?" ”

The soldiers shouted back in unison, "Lord Chen! ”

"Brothers, now the enemy must be leveled, our Qinzhou City. How should we. ”

"The city is in the people, and the city is dead."

"Now, Lord Chen has come to help the war regardless of life and death, and I am grateful, but I still have my brothers and parents behind me, as well as my wife and children who need to be taken care of by Lord Chen, and I also ask Lord Chen to move to the rear and preside over the overall situation."

After Li Xiang finished speaking, the soldiers shouted in unison: "Please also ask Master Chen to move to the rear and preside over the overall situation!" ”

Chen Feng listened to the neat roar, and his heart was surging. But hot tears flowed from both eye sockets. Wiping away two lines of tears. Chen Feng shouted in a hoarse voice: "Okay, the headquarters will be set up in the second trench." I'm going to beat the drums and help fight. ”

"Yes!"

Chen Feng withdrew with his people, and the front line sounded: "My battalion is invincible!" Victory for the two heroes! Wansheng! Wansheng! "At the same time, the double eagle flag, the wolf head flag, constantly waved.

The enemy was not a rabble, and after landing, seeing a vast field, they began to form a group. And did not attack. The Shuangxiong Army took advantage of this gap to reinforce the position. After about 20 minutes, about 3,000 people from the enemy's five phalanxes began to advance slowly. The first three are cold weapons, weapons are knives, and spears are available. The last two teams were the musketeers. Forward at the same time. The horn sounded on the enemy's side, and the strange scream shook the sky. At this time, there was still a distance of 600 meters from the Shuangxiong Army. Li Xiang looked at the increasing number of enemies and shouted, "Brothers, are you afraid. ”

"Don't be afraid."

"Ten thousand victories for the two heroes!"

"Ten thousand victories for the two heroes!"

At 250 meters, the enemy stepped into the range of the Tiger Squat Cannon of the Twin Heroes. Deng Wenai, at this time, commanded a total of 30 new tiger squat guns for the battalion and military families. So the order was given: "Guns, fire!" ”

One by one, the ignited shells were loaded into the barrels and made a clattering sound. Immediately, a deep sound of Peng rang out. One by one, the cannons flexibly arced and rushed towards the enemy. This fires improved shotshots. The shell exploded in the air over the enemy, slicing down in the square. Countless pieces of lead and shards will knock down unarmored enemies. Clouds of smoke exploded through the crowd. Countless enemies with lead in their bodies fell to the ground and howled, some of them were directly shot in the head by the lead, and the red and white ones scattered everywhere, and many splashed on other companions. But the toast soldiers still kept the line forward. Suddenly, there was another strange cry from the team. The three teams in front of them immediately began to rush. Still, the artillery continued to reap their lives. The two musket phalanxes in the back were not spared.

Li Xiang watched as the advancing enemies kept falling, but none of them retreated. So he opened his mouth and scolded: "Fuck, it's still not human." Brothers, wait a minute, let the enemies taste the power of our muskets again, damn if you don't beat you savages, I won't be surnamed Li. ”

100 meters, the first three phalanxes were less than 300 people, but the enemy was still charging forward, and the two musket phalanxes were close behind, but they were also greatly wounded. The ground was littered with dead bodies and wounded. The mud floor was dyed bright red. And this distance has gone beyond the firing range of the Tiger Squat Cannon, and it does not dare to be adjusted too close to prevent accidental injury. However, the 2-pounder Furlong was exactly within the optimal range. And so another round of artillery fire began. Twenty or so 2-pounder furlong machines fired shells as if they were not paying for money, and in less than 30 seconds, each firing nearly six rounds. But the enemy became scattered, so it was not as brilliant as the Tiger Squat Cannon. The enemy was killed and wounded less than a hundred. At the same time as the artillery fire was fired, the enemy entered less than thirty meters, but because the enemy dispersed, the grenade could not achieve any effect, so Li Xiang decisively ordered to shoot.

Shots rang out, and the enemy in front kept falling, but thirty meters was too close, and scattered enemies rushed into the trenches from time to time. Slash the reloaded soldier to death. A stocky toast soldier threw his machete and cut down one of the two soldiers while stepping into the trench to knock down the other. The enemy's strength was indeed too great, and the soldier was pinched by the neck, unable to resist. Another soldier was about to stab the enemy to death with a bayonet, when suddenly another toast soldier rushed in and knocked him down. The Tusi soldier sat on the soldier and skillfully stabbed the enemy with a dagger. Then rush to the others. All at once the trenches poured into ten Tusi soldiers, forming a small gap. One of the soldiers shouted: "The enemy has rushed in, stop it." ”

The soldiers on both sides heard this, and they surrounded them on both sides. Under the enemy's back, 6 enemies who came in fell at once, and 4 were defended by their backs. On one side, a Tusi soldier took a soldier of the Shuangxiong Army as a hostage, and the Tusi soldier said in Chinese: "Don't come, or you will kill him." ”

Seeing their former comrades-in-arms, the soldiers of the Shuangxiong Army were at a loss. And the soldier who was being held was shouting, "Shoot them." Otherwise, everyone will have to finish. ”

"But, squad leader, you're in the hands of the enemy. We can't give up on you. A soldier said

"Quick, there's no time."

However, no shots were fired. However, the enemy was nervous at this time, and he loosened himself on the squad leader. So while the enemy was unprepared, the squad leader suddenly exerted force, squatted down, and shouted: "Fire!" As soon as the shots rang out, the soldiers rushed forward and stabbed the enemy to death.

But by this time, the enemy's musketeers, taking advantage of the suicidal charge in front, had lined up and started firing from a distance of 50 meters. Many of the soldiers of the two heroes were shot down by the muskets of the opposite side along with the enemy. The artillerymen were mostly exposed, and the casualties were even heavier.

"Ignite the mines." Lee roared.

So, a soldier lit the arquebus, and in about ten seconds, the middle of the enemy's musket team exploded. The explosion then spread rapidly from the middle to both sides. And each mine was loaded with 200 catties of gunpowder, and the huge power exploded into large craters, and the soil exploded hundreds of meters away. The ground shook, and the water on the river shook back and forth, and the horses that were crossing the river were suddenly thrown into disarray. In addition, pulling artillery on the bamboo raft, a large number of horses and cannons fell into the river. The horses fell into the river, and some sank with the cannons, but many horses without cannons struggled violently on the water, causing more people and cannons to fall into the water. The other enemies who landed on the shore were also under the onslaught, and there was confusion.

The Shuangxiong Army's side did not cause any chaos under the cover of the trenches, but the sound wave still made people hear the sound of Weng Weng, and nothing else could be heard, and the three war drums that Chen Feng had people erect also made the shock wave push down. The enemy in front of him was no longer visible, and twenty-nine large craters were left on the ground, some of which were connected into a ditch.

Li Xiang was shouting orders, but he couldn't hear any sound himself. At the same time, Chen Feng shouted in the back: "Badr, if the 4-pounder cannon is pushed to the front, can it hit the ferry?" ”

"Report to your lordship, yes."

"Okay, the 4-pounder gun team is starting to move forward. Bombard the chaotic enemy. Zhu Liu, you three companies immediately stepped forward to support. ”

"Yes!"

"Li Er, is your second battalion ready?"

"Report to your lordship, you can go to the battlefield at any time."

"Okay, help me stand the drum."

"My lord, the cannon is so loud that you can't hear it in front of you."

"Oh!"

Ten minutes later, the 4-pounder gun moved to the front and began to adjust. Badr commanded: "Straight ahead, 45 degrees in elevation." Hurry up. ”

"Gun No. 1 is finished, No. 2 is finished, No. 3 is finished~~~~ No. 16 is finished."

"Okay, reload. Launch! ”

Boom ~~~~~ 4-pounder guns fired one after another. The shells fell into the still chaotic crowd of enemies and rushed out of the bloody alleys. Still others fell into the water, or fell in an open field in front of the enemy.

Chen Feng saw that the enemy on the opposite side was still in chaos, so he ordered: "The second battalion will step forward to take over the defense, and the first battalion will carry out a surprise attack, so that the enemy will be caught off guard." ”

"Yes!"

Then, the second battalion stepped forward to take over the defense, and after the first battalion received the order, Li Xiang immediately ordered: "Brothers of the first battalion, listen, now start to assault the enemy with the squad as a unit." Act now. ”

"Go, go, go! ~~~~~~”

The soldiers came out of the trenches and rushed towards the enemy in an orderly manner. The artillery fire did not stop until the first battalion had crossed the crater, and the barrels had overheated. And a battalion of ten men approached the enemy one by one.

At this time, there were still about 200 meters, but the enemy had already discovered it. It's just that because it's too chaotic, the enemy only comes forward in small groups to fight. And in front of the two heroic armies, a small group of enemies is simply a piece of cake. The squad-based firing allowed for a never-ending firefight. At once, the enemy paid the price of about 300 people. The two armies were advancing alternately. Countless enemies fell in pools of blood.

"Stop the Ming army quickly, don't let them come." Some of the heads began to organize personnel to resist. "Rush over! Kill! ”

The enemy basically recovered, so he began to fight back strongly.

The Twin Heroes began to be a little overwhelmed and began to shrink their fronts.

"Brothers, prepare grenades, and drop bombs when the brothers in front of you take them down." Huang Jiu, the commander of the second company, gave the order. So the crouching soldier took out his grenade and stood by after reloading. Chen Fubao withdrew to Huang Jiu's side alternately, so Huang Jiu ordered: "Ignite and drop bombs." ”

"Hundreds of grenades were thrown at the same time, and after rolling on the ground for a while, bursts of explosions erupted in the crowd of enemies. The hundreds of people who rushed to the front at once were basically finished. There was a wail on the ground. The enemies behind also startled the series of explosions. Immediately the guns of the two heroes rang out again. The enemy, who did not respond, fell a lot after spurting out clumps of blood.

And Huang Jiu said to Chen Fubao at this time: "Brother Chen, your company is now less than 100 people, and the loss is too great, I will cover your retreat and join the three sides." ”

"Brother Huang Jiu, thank you very much, otherwise I may not have many people in a row, I remember this part."

"Go down quickly."

"Don't be too impulsive, Brother Huang Jiu."

"Don't worry, I won't play with my two hundred brothers. The brothers fired alternately, covering the brothers of the first company to meet with the three sides.

All of a sudden, the enemy's advance became stronger again. Casualties began to appear on Huang Jiu's side, and the first two squads were contacted by the enemy in order to cover the retreat of the others, and all of them were killed. The enemy's muskets also began to fire at the duo. The second company lost about 50 people at once.

After paying thirty more people, Huang Jiu withdrew to the side of the crater and rounded with the others. Li Er was discussing with Chen Zhongxin and Peng Jiazhi at this time. "Do you think you can complete the task assigned by Lord Chen?" Li Er asked

"I can only fight." Chen Zhongxin said.

"You can't take the lives of your brothers to see it, so let's send someone back to ask for advice."

"Okay."

"Report, Lord Chen, report from the front, the enemy's momentum is too great, and the progress is blocked. Now the losses are very large. Adult, please instruct you. ”

"Well, what do you think of it now?" Chen Feng asked everyone.

"My lord, I think that now that the first battalion has dragged the enemy a little, the enemy's losses must be large. It is better to let them take a break and recuperate in order to preserve their strength. Now there are many large craters blown out of the front, and it is believed that the enemy has not filled them all at once. The number of people who come to the gong will not be too large. Fang Shiping said

"Yes, I think so. I also agree with ~~~~~~~"

"Okay, so be it. Quickly give the order, and the first battalion will withdraw immediately. ”

The first battalion was taking advantage of the terrain at this time, holding several narrow passages, and the rest were bombed to the ground full of potholes and impassable. Although the two heroic armies fought bravely and were well equipped, the enemy's will to fight was surprisingly tenacious, and although they suffered heavy casualties, they did not flinch. The continuous wheel battles were consuming the battalion little by little.

The herald delivered the order to the first battalion, but it was impossible to retreat. Li Xiang had no choice but to convene the company commanders and commanders and fighters to gather for a meeting, Li Xiang looked at the officers covered in dust and blood and said in a deep voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, Lord Chen has issued a new order, our battalion will give up the surprise attack and withdraw to the defensive line, but if we disperse in a hurry, then the enemy will take advantage of the situation to surprise attack, and the situation is not optimistic!" What do you have to do? Zhu Liudao, the third company: "Battalion commander, the first company and the second company have suffered heavy losses, and the main force of our third company is still there, let the brothers withdraw after the original break." ”

"No, the third company of my lord is the last main force of our battalion. If the losses are too heavy, the first battalion will lose its combat effectiveness, and I think that my second company can take on this role. ”

"My lord, although we don't have much left in the company, the mission after the break is the most suitable." The companies scrambled to stay first. Li Xiang discussed a few words with Su Xin and Deng Wenjian, and then said: "This break is not trivial, not only to allow the troops to withdraw safely, but also to let the enemy not take the opportunity to attack and cause chaos. Therefore, only the strength of the three companies can do it, but in this way, the three companies will ......"

"Your Excellency, give the order! We are fearless in a triple line. Zhu Liu clasped his hands into fists and said in a deep voice.

Li Xiang patted Zhu Liu's shoulder and said, "Okay! The 3rd Company listened to the order and ordered you to cover the safe retreat of the 1st and 2nd Company, and only after the 1st and 2nd Companies withdrew to their positions could you retreat while fighting. ”

"Yes, please rest assured that you will complete the task."

After receiving the order, Zhu Liulucheng returned to make arrangements. Three platoons each defended three lanes. After the exchange, the remaining two companies began to withdraw in an orderly manner. But at this moment, the enemy's attack was fierce again, especially in the wider passage on the left, countless enemies risked their deaths, and the remaining sixty people in the seventh platoon could not resist it at all. The remaining two fronts were also difficult to resist. But it was still dangerous, and Zhu Liu was supervising the battle in the seventh platoon at this time.

"Brothers, stand in the way!" Zhu Liu stabbed an enemy who rushed forward to death and shouted loudly. But more enemies had already rushed towards them, and the soldiers were no longer able to use the strengths of their firearms, and at once they were engaged in close combat with an enemy more than ten times their size. Immediately following the nine rows, they were also drowned in the sea of people. In less than ten minutes, one or two companies withdrew to the trenches. During the struggle, Zhu Liu issued the last order: "The task is completed, and the whole company will withdraw while fighting." "But the soldiers were entangled by the enemy and could not get out at all. Zhu Liu led more than a dozen people, holding the banner of the third company, assaulting and fighting, dressing up too many enemies to stand out.

"Lord Zhu, look at the leader of the enemy in front." Zhu Liu followed the soldier's direction and saw a gorgeously dressed man with a feather on his head on a horse about 200 meters ahead, and three horsemen holding a black flag beside him. When it was too late, Zhu Liu swept the five or six people beside him, and then said angrily: "Brothers, I, Zhu Liu, can't stand you." I can't take you out alive today, I don't blame you for the battle or the surrender, if you are not afraid of death, follow me to rush over and take down the enemy chieftain, the two male army, ten thousand victories! ”

"Wan Sheng, Wan Sheng!" More than a dozen people bravely moved forward regardless of the enemies in front and behind. And the enemy chief also spotted the other party at this time, so he ordered: "Musketeers get ready." "Yes!" At a distance of less than 100 meters, the Shuangxiong army rushed to less than 20 meters at the cost of the lives of three people. The enemy chief waved his hand suddenly, and three hundred musketeers rushed out behind him, "Bang, bang, bang," three neat gunshots. The two heroic armies of more than a dozen people all fell, without heroic performances, and without a warrior who was shot a hundred times without falling. Only a group of ordinary soldiers were shot and lay down, moaning on the ground without being fatal. Zhu Liu was shot six times in his body, and he also lay quietly on the ground with all the soldiers.

Lu Cheng led the eight platoons at this time, because the enemy was broken through in two places, the enemy gave up the attack, and only scattered enemies passed by, and the battle became easier. However, Lu Cheng still did not relax his vigilance. "Report ---- Lord Lu, my third battle flag has fallen, and there is no news from the ninth platoon, so I'm afraid that the elder of the company will ...... Fear......! ”

"What? My three-in-a-row battle flag has fallen? ”

"Lord Lu, the situation is critical. Now that the task has been completed, please decide. ”

"Yes! Whether you advance or retreat depends on your words. ”

"Hey! Today, my third company is not complete, Commander Zhu, the dead brothers, now I Lu Cheng can't stand you, in order to leave some fire for the third company, retreat immediately. ”

Chen Feng was discussing military affairs with the staff of the military department, and suddenly a herald reported: "Commander, Chen Chun's soldiers and horses have entered the position and can attack at any time. ”

"Great, you see. Two-thirds of the way the enemy had crossed the river, and the enemy's cavalry and artillery were in confusion crossing the river, and some logistics were left behind. As long as you are flanked from both sides, you can be crushed with one blow. ”

After a while, the herald will come again: "Report!" The 123rd Company of the 1st Battalion was withdrawn, the commander of the 3rd Company and the deputy commander of the 3rd Company were killed in battle, and only 12 people remained in the whole company. ”

"Good! Now give a signal that the whole army is flanking back and forth. ”

All frontal guns have been angled. The trenches are sniping at the charging enemy. Behind the enemy, Chen Chun was coldly ambushing more than a thousand people in the mountains and forests about a mile away from the enemy. Suddenly, three thick black wolf smoke shot straight into the sky. Chen Chun saw it and ordered: "Return the signal to start attacking." ”

Three sky-high thunderbolts with green smoke rushed into the sky. Chen Feng saw the signal and ordered: "The artillery is firing with all your might!" ”

Tiger squat, Furlong machine, two-pounder and four-pounder guns, a total of 50 or so doors sounded in turn............"

And in the rear of the enemy, more than a thousand people rushed at a trot towards the enemy's camp. Soon the enemy discovered that the main force had crossed the river or was crossing it, leaving less than 2,000 capable fighters. Still, the enemy organized almost a thousand people to resist. The two sides were still about a hundred meters apart, and the two heroic armies began to attack alternately. After the soldiers in front crouched down and fired, the ones in the back stepped forward to shoot. And the enemy's weak defense is only a bow and arrow. Soon a thousand men were routed. Chen Chun led the troops to rush into the enemy camp and slash all the way, and in less than twenty minutes, they attacked the crossing of the river, and the enemy who was congested in front and behind was in chaos at this time. Suddenly, countless grenades were thrown into the chaotic crowd. Numerous explosions were formed, causing the chaotic enemy to fall in pieces.

On the front, artillery fire and muskets are also constantly harvesting the lives of the enemy. Eventually, there was a chirping sound from time to time in the crowd of enemies. As the sound spread, there was a commotion among the Tusi soldiers and the Annan soldiers. In particular, the frontal soldiers have begun to flee. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chen Feng ordered the 1st and 2nd Battalions to assault on all fronts, and soon regained their positions. The chaotic enemy surrendered on their knees under another attack.

Chen Chun led the three battalions and the Longmen guard to successfully occupy the entire ferry after paying the price of more than 100 people. The enemy in the river was forced to lay down his arms and surrender under the condition of being flanked in front and rear.

The pursuit did not stop until late in the evening. The enemies who surrendered were tied in a string of ten. The lightly wounded captives were grouped together for a simple bandage, while the seriously wounded were given to the recruits to train their courage.
