Chapter 317: The First Battle of the Musketeers
With Guo Fuwei's order, the soldiers under his command immediately picked up the weapons in their hands and killed the people brought by Zhu Youliang and Chen Mingyi.
Seeing this, Su Ziheng turned his head sideways and said to the unsettled Dongyuan Fu on the side: "Girl, send a signal flare to inform the Black Crow Army to enter the city immediately." ”
Dong Yuan was stunned for a moment, then said "um", hurriedly took out a signal flare from his arms, lit it, and threw it into the air.
"Chirp...... Bang! ”
The flare exploded over the East City Gate, turning into fireworks flying in the sky.
"It's such a beautiful fireworks, but how can anyone set off fireworks in the city at such a time?" There were still people in the city who hadn't slept and muttered to themselves when they looked up and saw fireworks in the sky.
"That direction is...... East City Gate? It's not good, could it be that the East Gate is missing? Some of the generals in the Haizhou City Army exclaimed, and immediately gathered the soldiers under their command and rushed towards the east gate.
Zhong Qinghan stood at the door of the big tent, looked at the fireworks in the sky not far away, and immediately shouted loudly: "All of them, assemble urgently, and march towards the east gate." ”
"Whoa!"
With Zhong Qinghan's order, the five thousand black crow army quickly assembled, the original four thousand recruits were very slow, but under the drive of a thousand veterans, the movements were invisibly much faster, and before half a moment of time, the five thousand people were assembled, took their weapons and went with Zhong Qinghan.
……
……
Su Ziheng stood at the head of the city, watched Guo Fuwei command the soldiers to lower the drawbridge, opened the city gate, and said with a smile: "General Guo has worked hard, and for such a great achievement this time, Her Royal Highness the Princess will definitely be rewarded." Her Royal Highness the princess is personally leading the troops this time, so you don't have to worry about your merits being swallowed up. ”
"By the way, did General Guo send troops to bring the family over? When the time comes, when our princess controls the city gate, we can send the general's family to Donghai County first, and ensure that they will not be damaged in the slightest. ”
Guo Fuwei said with a smile on his face: "Thank you for the relationship between Mr. Su, the last general has already sent someone to pick up his family, and he must be able to come over soon." ”
In fact, in his heart, he had already scolded Su Ziheng half to death, but he didn't expect Su Ziheng to be the mastermind behind the assassination of King Zhenhai. also killed the son Zhu Youliang in front of himself, and now he is really a beam that cannot be separated from the Zhenhai King family.
If you don't take the opportunity to open the city and completely take refuge in Donghai County, you will have no place to stay in Haizhou. If his family falls into the hands of Zhu Chao's other two sons, life will definitely be worse than death, and maybe they will be cut by a thousand knives.
But Guo Fuwei didn't dare to let his subordinates take down Su Ziheng, because he was afraid that the assassin behind Su Ziheng would follow in the footsteps of Zhu Youliang and Chen Mingyi as long as he had a slight dissent.
He was also secretly afraid in his heart at the moment, the assassin brought by Su Ziheng was obviously to guard against himself, but he didn't expect Zhu Youliang to be destined to die, and he and Chen Mingyi actually wanted to grab their handles, but they both died at the hands of the assassins.
I don't know where this assassin is hiding? What kind of hidden weapon is used, it is actually impossible to prevent it. Fortunately, he didn't want to be unfavorable to the two of them from the beginning, otherwise it would not be Zhu Youliang and Chen Mingyi who died at this moment, but himself.
"Knock Knock"
Outside the city gates, there was the sound of neat footsteps, and the sound grew louder and louder from far and near.
Soon, Zhong Qinghan led the Black Crow Army into the city along the city gate, and quickly took over the city gate defense.
"Ziheng, I've worked hard for you today. Didn't you say that it was just a matter of exploring the path first? Why did we take the city gate so suddenly that we were almost caught off guard. Zhong Qinghan asked with a smile.
Su Ziheng smiled bitterly, "There was an accident...... he quickly and simply said what had just happened.
Zhong Qinghan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "It's okay, even if you alarm the defenders in the city, you are not afraid. Once they mobilize their armies, the armies of the Sword King and King Kang outside the city will also attack immediately. The Haizhou army did not dare to use the army to counterattack, and this is the city, and there are many buildings, which is not conducive to the attack of the army. ”
Speaking of this, Zhong Qinghan's eyes became fierce, "As for street fighting, my Zhong Qinghan's Black Crow Army has never been afraid of anyone. ”
This kind of strong self-confidence is not a manifestation of her arrogance, but the achievements of the Black Crow Army in the past few years, which have been deeply imprinted in the hearts of every Black Crow sergeant.
Seeing the confident appearance of the veteran, the nervous hearts of the 4,000 newly recruited new soldiers also calmed down and became no longer worried and afraid.
"Light cold, the first battle will be handed over to the musket team to fight, and see how the flintlock pistol works in actual combat?" Su Ziheng and Zhong Qinghan discussed.
Zhong Qinghan nodded, "No problem, it just so happens that the alley of the East Gate is not very wide, which is just right for your musket team to set up a formation." I've been listening to you tell me how the musket is, and I haven't actually seen the effect, so I'm taking this opportunity to see it. If it's really as good as you say, you can eliminate the archers later. ”
Su Ziheng smiled and said, "Mengzi, did you hear what Her Royal Highness the princess said?" You have to behave well for a while, and don't lose the face of the muskets. ”
Shi Meng replied loudly: "Don't worry, master, I promise that I will not disappoint you and Her Royal Highness the Princess!" ”
After speaking, Shi Meng waved his hand, led the 100 people of the musket team to the street facing the east gate, and shouted: "All of them, prepare for three shots, and put on ammunition!" ”
"Whoa!"
The 100 men of the musket team raised the flintlock pistol in their hands neatly, took out a package of paper-shell ammunition from the leather bag they carried with them in an orderly manner, quickly tore open the cover, poured the ammunition into the flintlock pistol, and then raised it high and aimed it forward.
Soon, from the other side of the street, there was a mixed sound of footsteps, accompanied by a burst of shouts and fighting.
"Rush!"
"Kill them and drive them out of Haizhou!"
"Fight with them."
As the voice got closer and closer, Shi Meng's eyes as big as a copper bell narrowed slightly, and his mouth burst into a thunderous shout: "All of them, prepare ......"
"Put!"
With Shi Meng's order, the people of the musket team followed the usual three-stage shooting training operation, and the first row of more than 30 people raised the flintlock pistols in their hands and shot out violently, and when all the bullets were fired, they quickly retreated to reload the ammunition, not even looking to see if they had hit the enemy.
After the musket team of the second platoon and the first platoon retreated, they brazenly pulled the trigger in their hands, and another continuous deafening sound came out, and the air was already filled with gunsmoke.
This was followed by the third row of gunfire, and by this time the musketeers in the first row had already loaded their ammunition and quickly returned to their previous firing positions. The cycle repeatedly, only to hear the continuous sound of gunfire, echoing on Dongmen Street.
In addition to the sound of gunfire, there were also the screams of the attacking Haizhou army on the opposite side.
