Zhou Xiuying was about seventy or eighty meters away from Wu Chaoyue's regimental training phalanx, which was only a pediatric distance for the maximum range of 500 meters of the Delaiser firing needle gun, but because it was a smoothbore gun, the possibility of an accurate hit was basically equivalent to five consecutive coin tosses were heads. But the Minnie gun is completely different, the Minnie gun with rifling inside does not dare to say that it is a hundred shots at this distance, and there is absolutely no problem for a strictly trained shooter to hit seven or eight shots out of ten shots.

Of course, Wu Chaoyue was reluctant to snipe with a mini gun to almost roll the sheets with his own legal beauty Zhou Xiuying, but Chen Mujin, the big thief in Jiading who was registered in the imperial court, actually jumped out by himself, Wu Chaoyue naturally didn't need to be polite, and immediately ordered his own personal captain and sniper captain Wu Dadao to shoot, as a result, Wu Dadao really lived up to Wu Chaoyue's expectations of him, and finally repaid Wu Chaoyue for taking him around eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling in recent years.

"Brother Chen has been shot! Brother Chen was shot! ”

"There are sharpshooters in the official army! Brother Chen was hit! ”

Wu Da Da repaid Wu Chaoyue, as soon as he heard the gunshot, he saw Chen Mujin holding his chest and falling on his back, screaming and rolling on the ground, the two rebel armies of Jiading and Qingpu were also in an uproar, and finally understood that Zhou Xiuying, who could take her life at any time, had just come back to her senses, and someone had already pulled her back. At the same time, Zhou Lichun also rushed up, and Yuan exclaimed with his eyes open: "How is it possible? At such a distance, how did Xiao Qisan, surnamed Wu, hit Brother Chen? We also have muskets, so it's impossible to shoot so far? ”

No one could answer Zhou Lichun's question, but Xu Yao threw himself on Chen Mujin, whose chest was already stained with blood, and hugged Chen Mujin, who was wailing and screaming, and cried loudly, "Brother Chen, what's wrong with you?" What's wrong? ”

At the same time, on the side of the Shanghai regiment training, seeing that there was a big chaos on the side of the rebel army, Chen Mujin, who had already been shot, was surrounded by a crowd, and Brown, an American veteran who volunteered to serve as tactical guidance for the Shanghai regiment training, was inevitably a little dumbfounded, and said to Wu Chao: "Wu, don't you Chinese have military common sense?" They have already seen their companions shot, and they dare to gather in large numbers within our firing range, so they are not afraid that we will take the opportunity to shoot? ”

"If they had such military knowledge, the Opium War would not have been bullied so badly by your British cousin." Wu Chaoyue replied with a wry smile, then turned to Wu Dadao and the others and shouted: "Sniper team, fire freely!" Let's bring out our majesty first! Others, no shots are allowed without an order! ”

With Wu Chaoyue's order, the twenty Wu army snipers who had been itching for a long time were no longer polite, and immediately aimed at the targets they found and pulled the trigger, and when the ping-pong gunshots rang out, more than a dozen members of the rebel army fell to the ground one after another, and the two rebel armies of Qingpu and Jiading, which were already in chaos, were suddenly even more chaotic, and countless people shouted and ran away with their heads in their hands, and the already chaotic queue was even more chaotic. On the contrary, the Shanghai regimental training was full of cheers, morale was greatly boosted, because it was the first time to go to the battlefield and the general tension was greatly relieved, and many Lian Yong began to gradually believe what Wu Chaoyue and Brown said before - they were actually very powerful, but they didn't even know it.

After a round of shooting, the snipers of the Wu army each seized the time to load the ammunition, the gunfire stopped for a while, and the rebel army also shouted and regrouped, and after being held by Xu Yao and taking a step back, Chen Mujin, who was shot in the chest, had already rolled his eyes and died tragically in Xu Yao's arms, Xu Yao and other generals of the Jiading rebel army cried loudly, Zhou Lichun was also furious, and shouted at Xu Yao and others: "Brother Xu, don't cry first, let's rush together, rush up and fight with the surnamed Wu, and avenge Brother Chen!" ”

Xu Yao and the others tearfully agreed, and when Zhou Lichun and Xu Yao immediately arranged a charge to attack, arranging for soldiers with iron pots, planks and rattan shields to step forward, soldiers with arquebuses to the rear, and then soldiers with bows and arrows, knives and guns and other weapons. After the final arrangement was made, with Zhou Lichun's order, the gongs and drums beat, more than 4,000 rebels really shouted and launched a charge against the hedgehog formation of the Shanghai regiment - if Zhou Lichun did not have this bit of organizational strength, it would be impossible for Zhou Lichun to repel the attack of the Qing army's green camp twice.

In fact, during Zhou Lichun and Xu Yao's arrangement, Wu Jun snipers still had a chance to shoot and kill, but Wu Chaoyue was afraid that the enemy would be scared away and he would not have the opportunity to fully train the recruits, so he strictly forbade the snipers to continue shooting, and when he saw that the enemy was charging from all directions at the same time, Wu Chaoyue was secretly happy in his heart, and quickly shouted: "No one is allowed to shoot without an order!" Hear the order, shoot together immediately! Except for the reserves! ”

More than 200 Wu Jun Lian Yong agreed, each holding the weapon in his hand, staring at the rebel soldiers who rushed in with a sweaty palm, and Brown, who had a lot of battlefield experience during the period, also constantly spoke stiff Chinese and demanded that Lian Yong strictly organize the queue and never leave his position without permission. Wu Chaoyue was also a little nervous, constantly turning his head to observe the enemy's situation, silently calculating the distance between the military formation and the enemy, and preparing to wait for the enemy to rush within 70 meters before ordering to shoot - Brown originally suggested that Wu Chaoyue shoot within 50 meters of the enemy, but for the sake of prudence, Wu Chaoyue, who was also on the battlefield for the first time, still chose a relatively safe distance of 70 meters.

"Kill! Kill! Kill the dog! Avenge Brother Chen! ”

In order to avenge Chen Mujin, and in order to show his courage in front of his sweetheart, Xu Yao, the second leader of the Jiading rebel army, also rushed to the front with an iron pot, and the roar was louder than anyone else, "Wu Chaoyue, bring Lao Tzu's life-!" ”

"Shoot!"

At the same time, Wu Chaoyue finally shouted the order to shoot, and under too much nervousness, Wu Chaoyue also raised his hand and fired a shot at the sky with a revolver.

Bang bang It also immediately spread to Wu Jun Lian Yong's ears from all directions.

Too nervous, many Wu Jun Lian Yong made mistakes when changing the paper shell ammunition, and even fell the paper shell bullet directly to the ground so nervous, the loading speed was far less fast and fast than the usual training, so angry that Brown scolded in English and yelled at Lian Yong constantly. However, Wu Jun Lian Yong behaved like a rookie, but the enemy on the opposite side was even more rookie, seeing that his companions around him were shot and injured or even fell directly to the ground, many rebel soldiers were so frightened that they shouted directly, and subconsciously stopped and watched, giving Wu Jun Lian Yong more time to reload his bullets.

There are still many rebel soldiers who are still charging, and Xu Yao, who was lucky not to be hit by Wu Jun Lian Yong's first round, continued to rush to the front, constantly yelling: "Brothers, rush quickly, don't give Wu Dog Officer time to charge drugs!" ”

Although Xu Yao's order was extremely correct, many soldiers of the rebel army were still charging, desperately trying to close the distance between them and the hedgehog array of the Wu army. However, it is a pity that the distance of seventy meters is not within an eye, and the speed of loading the bullets of the firing pin gun in Wu Jun Lian Yong's hand is far faster than Xu Yao and others imagined, when Xu Yao is still more than 30 meters away from the Wu army's hedgehog array, the Wu army's hedgehog array has already sounded again, and the first shot hit the iron pot in Xu Yao's hand, and the bang immediately scared Xu Yao out of a cold sweat. Immediately afterwards, more Wu Jun Lian Yong shot one after another, and because the distance had been shortened, the hit rate was greatly improved, basically three or four shots could hit an enemy, the rebel soldiers were horrified, and their pace slowed down subconsciously, and many people began to turn around and run back.

Here we must praise Xu Yao and many rebel soldiers for their courage, in the case of the charge is not as strong as before, Xu Yao and some rebel soldiers are still mustering up the courage to charge forward, but it is still a pity that Wu Jun Lianyong, who overcame the first psychological difficulty, reloaded ammunition faster this time, when Xu Yao was more than ten meters away from the Wu army's hedgehog array, Wu Jun Lianyong had already pulled the trigger for the third time, and at the same time, Wu Jun sentry officers Huang Dasha and Deng Siyuan, who were equipped with revolvers, fired the third shot. He also pulled out a revolver and shot at the enemy, among which Deng Siyuan's revolver was aimed at Xu Yao, and the second shot hit Xu Yao's handsome cheek, knocking Xu Yao's teeth off twice, causing Xu Yao to scream in pain, and then ran back - and then was shot in the ass again.

There were also a few rebel soldiers who were lucky enough to rush to the vicinity of the Wu army's hedgehog array, but before they could raise their knives and guns, there were already bayonets on the opposite side as chest stabs, and Wu Jun Lianyong, who was half-squatting on the ground, also raised his gun and stabbed them in the abdomen with a bayonet, stabbing them in a hurry, unable to parry, either stabbed to death, or stabbed to scream and retreat.

The gunfire continued one after another, knocking over the rebel soldiers who were close to the Wu army's hedgehog array, and the Wu army snipers hiding inside the hedgehog array also shot accurately, knocking down those relatively well-dressed rebel generals one after another, although the rebel soldiers with arquebuses in their hands also fired, but they did not receive strict training, and basically hit the bullets away from 108,000 miles under nervousness.

The hedgehog array of the Wu army was already full of enemy corpses and wounded soldiers, the gunfire like firecrackers was still continuous, and the screams of ghosts and wolves had already risen and fallen in the ranks of the rebel army.

Seeing that the situation is not good, many of the generals and soldiers of the rebel army have already fled to Huangdu Town, at first Zhou Lichun was still a little unwilling, and kept shouting and roaring, asking his subordinates to stop and reorganize the team, but seeing more and more people fleeing for their lives, and his subordinates became more and more chaotic, Zhou Lichun gradually panicked, and finally simply pulled his daughter, and fled to the nest of Huangdu Town, more than 4,000 people were defeated like a mountain, and fled all over the mountains and fields, everywhere.

It was the turn of Wu Jun to practice Yong to counterattack, and the semitone-idiot Wu Chaoyue couldn't teach Lian Yong how to blow the trumpet, so he could only continue to convey the charge order with the war drums of the Qing army in a nondescript manner, and forgot to reorganize the formation and ordered the charging drum to be sounded, and even forgot to ride the war horse and led more than 200 Lian Yong to charge in a mess, so angry that Brown scolded again, "SHIT! Wu, a commander like you, when you go to the battlefield in the United States, I guarantee that you will not survive for ten minutes! ”

Fortunately, Wu Chaoyue and Wu Jun Lian Yong are rookies, and the two rebel armies of Qingpu and Jiading are even more typical rabble, and they don't know how to seize the opportunity of the chaotic situation of the Wu army to launch a counterattack. As a result, at this time, Wu Jun Lianyong, who had to carry a weight of 50 pounds and run 10 kilometers every day more than a month ago, also showed the results of hard training, and the speed of running was far better than that of the undertrained rebel soldiers, and he easily caught up with many enemies, and then either shot or stabbed with bayonets, forcing the enemy to run faster and more chaotically, and there was no power left to fight back.

Constantly sprinting forward, absurd things happened, Wu Jun, who had been training for several months, had too good motivation to practice bravery, and even rushed to the front, and after finding that there was no one in front, he turned around and shot and stabbed the enemy behind, and the rebel soldiers who were blocked by the road cried and screamed, either kneeling and surrendering, or fleeing in other directions, and many people fled directly back to their own villages. Wu Chaoyue also remembered to order the soldiers to shout the slogan of surrender and not killing, and shot and coerced many enemies to throw down their weapons and surrender on their knees.

During the pursuit, Wu Chaoyue naturally had to quietly look for Zhou Xiuying's whereabouts, and once vaguely saw a woman, but the distance was a little far away to tell whether it was Zhou Xiuying or not, and when he finally found nothing, Wu Chaoyue could only secretly pray for God's blessing, don't let Zhou Xiuying unfortunately die in the chaos - the most dangerous thing on the battlefield is the crowd and footsteps of the defeated army. The result was not bad, and Wu Chaoyue never saw Zhou Xiuying among the dead bodies on the road.

It was still near the end of the sweeping battle that Wu Chaoyue realized that he had done another stupid thing - surrendering too early, more than 200 Wu soldiers had captured more than 1,000 prisoners, and they had to guard these prisoners, and there was no extra strength to attack Huangdu Town, Zhou Lichun's old nest, which was not far away.

Good grandfather Wu Jianzhang still did not abandon Wu Chaoyue, the unfilial grandson, just when Wu Chaoyue was worried about the unguarded prisoners, hundreds of green battalion soldiers came to the east of the official road, and it was He Shu, the Shanghai garrison, who led the team. Seeing the corpses all over the ground and the dense crowd of captives, He Shu, who had suffered a big loss from the rebel army north of the Wusong River only before yesterday, was of course so shocked that his jaw almost fell to the ground, and as soon as they met, he gave up and made a gesture to Wu Chaoyue, and said in a loud voice: "Lord Wu, the lower official has been subdued, and the lower official has admired you so much that he has thrown your body to the ground, and I didn't expect that you were only more than 200 people, and you actually ......." ”

"Less nonsense!" Wu Chaoyue interrupted He Shu's compliment angrily, and said quickly: "You were sent by my grandfather to help, right?" Just in time, guard the captives and clean up the battlefield for me, and then escort the captives to Huangdu Town to meet me! ”

hurriedly explained the task to He Shu, Wu Chaoyue shouted loudly and ordered Lian Yong to assemble, and continued to advance westward with Lian Yong, striking while the iron was hot, and attacking Zhou Lichun's old nest Huangdu Town. As a result, it was also at this time that Wu Chaoyue asked Lian Yong to march in line under Brown's reminder, and in exchange for Brown's scolding again, "Wu, if you run into the American ** team led by me, I guarantee that you won't be able to hold out in front of me for five minutes!" ”

He smiled and thanked Brown, who kindly pointed him out, and then when Wu Chaoyue galloped to Huangdu Town with Lian Yong, it was already too late, and the remnants of Zhou Lichun, who stayed here, got the news of the fiasco of the main force, and had already opened the town gate and fled for their lives, leaving only an empty town and some old, weak, sick and disabled people in the town. Wu Chaoyue, who originally wanted to practice the battle of the fortification, was disappointed, and could only hurry into the town to search for the remnants of the enemy, and at the same time strictly forbade burning, killing and looting, let alone killing the old, weak, sick and disabled who could not escape.

At Wu Chaoyue's request, Wu Jun Lian Yong quickly captured a few rebel soldiers who didn't escape fast enough, and Wu Chaoyue interrogated them personally, only to learn that Zhou Lichun's father and daughter had never come back at all, Wu Chaoyue was disappointed and somewhat relieved, knowing that Zhou Xiuying was still alive. And when it came to the search of Zhou Lichun's house, Wu Jun Lian Yong reported a news that made Wu Chaoyue so angry that he was smoking-Zhou Lichun's house still had a large amount of tobacco and soil. (This is not to slander Zhou Lichun, the "Qingpu County Chronicle" clearly records his involvement in the opium trade.) ）

In a fit of rage, Wu Chaoyue once ordered Zhou Lichun's house to be burned, but after the order was issued, Wu Chaoyue changed his mind and went to Zhou Lichun's house to explore the situation instead, and entered Zhou Xiuying's boudoir, which had been turned into pieces, and sat on Zhou Xiuying's bed, stroking the soft pillow with lingering fragrance in his heart, "If only that chick were still there, at this time, she should not refuse, right?" ”

In Huangdu Town, Wu Jun Lian Yong also found a lot of food and weapons that the Qingpu rebel army had no time to take away, as well as some gold and silver, Wu Chaoyue was not polite, and immediately ordered to divide the gold and silver equally among his Lian Yong, the food and baggage were left, and the weapons were sold for money, and the same was rewarded to the meritorious soldiers, in exchange for Wu Jun Lian Yong's joy shook the sky. Wu Dadao on the side hurriedly reminded: "Young Master Sun, what should He Shu do over there?" They helped us a little bit. ”

"Rest assured, they won't make a trip in vain." Wu Chaoyue said angrily: "The captives were handed over to him, and the battlefield was also handed over to him to clean, do you think he will give us the valuable things he found from the captives, as well as the swords and arquebuses he picked up on the battlefield?" ”

After saying it angrily, Wu Chaoyue rubbed his ass a little scared, and said secretly in his heart: "The next thing to care about is how to explain to the comprador grandfather when I go back, this time, should he beat my ass with a ring ruler again?" ”
