Most of them had never left the mountains, never left the dense forests, and therefore had never seen muskets, let alone more powerful artillery. Ｘ

As the so-called ignorant are fearless, under the shouts and cheers of the Yi Miao soldiers who are constantly pouring out of the city behind them, the Yi Miao soldiers who rushed in front can also step on the ground more and more corpses, and rush forward.

The 5,000 Yi Miao elite native soldiers who were responsible for going out of the city to rob the camp rushed to the camp of the official army in waves, just like the rising water in the Liuchong River near Shuixi City, beating the river bank again and again.

Standing at the head of the east gate of Shuixi City, Tushuai An Long, looked at the official army barracks in the fog in the distance, listened to the shouts and killings in front of the official army barracks, the sound of gunfire and cannons, and his heart was very worried.

An Long, who wanted to launch a surprise attack with the mist that had not dispersed in the early morning, but at this time, because of the still pervasive mist, it affected his vision and even more affected his judgment.

He thought that at this time, the official army had discovered the native soldiers under his command, and the two sides must have been fighting fiercely, and the robbery of the camp was not as smooth as expected, and he thought that the five thousand elite Yi Miao native soldiers were only about 300 steps away, as long as these people swarmed up, there was no reason why they could not take the official barracks.

After all, it has been explored before that the camp of the official army is very simple, and there are no impregnable fortifications.

However, what he absolutely did not expect was that the fierce battle he had concluded at this time had not actually happened at all.

The elite Yi Miao native soldiers in his eyes did not have a face-to-face confrontation with the officers and soldiers in the camp at this time, and even the bravest and luckiest part of the Yi Miao native soldiers only rushed to the front of the fence.

However, before they could climb up, they were stabbed to death by musketeers behind the fence, who did not have time to reload the gunpowder projectiles, with their bayonets.

In this way, An Long kept beating the drum at the east gate of Shuixi City, and the Shuixi Yimiao native soldiers under his command who were outside the city did not dare to stop rushing forward and beating violently.

Until most of the 5,000 people were killed and wounded, and the corpses piled up in front of the official barracks, which had affected the attack of the Yi and Miao soldiers behind.

The enemy in front of Liu Zhaoji and Mo Youjing was reduced, and the "fierce battle situation" was alleviated.

At this time, there were already many local officials in Shuixi who reported the battle situation in front to An Long at the head of the city, and learned that the elite local soldiers in Shuixi who left the city had been killed and wounded in the early 3,000s.

The drumming at the head of the city stopped, and the attack of the native soldiers in the west of the city was temporarily suspended.

But since he seized such a good opportunity, how could Liu Zhaoji not grasp it well.

Wouldn't it be better if you could capture the city gate in one fell swoop, and then take Shuixi City!

At this moment, Guizhou Deputy General Wang Guozhen has also led more than 1,000 elite Guizhou soldiers under his command to rush to the back of the barracks fence.

Although he followed Liu Zhaoji's advice and went to rest with the Guizhou soldiers who had worked hard for most of the night, in such a situation, where could Wang Guozhen sleep?

As soon as he heard the gunshots in front of the camp, he immediately woke up all his men, reorganized the ranks, and rushed over at once.

When I arrived at the front of the battle, Liu Zhaoji and the Tiance guards under the command of Mo and Jing, with a round of muskets and a round of artillery, fought in an orderly manner.

I saw groups of Shuixi Yi soldiers swarming, and then they were instantly knocked down outside the camp after a dozen steps, and in the end, there was no Shuixi Yi soldier who could break into the camp at all, and the Guizhou soldiers under his command were needed to go into battle.

Seeing the strange scene in front of him, Guizhou Deputy General Wang Guozhen was shocked in his heart, because he had joined the army since he was a child and had fought for half his life, he had never seen such a way of fighting?

Is this a war?!

This is a fucking massacre!

The shock in Wang Guozhen's heart was ultimately his own business.

In any case, the more than 1,000 Guizhou soldiers who had never seen such a battle scene before, after seeing the scene in front of them clearly, their morale rose in an instant, and they shouted and asked to fight.

"Your Excellency, General Wang! If our army does not hurry up and attack, I am afraid that the Yi soldiers outside the camp will flee back to the city! ”

Mo Youjing easily didn't speak, but every word he said hit the nail on the head.

Liu Zhaoji and Wang Guozhen heard this, looked outside the camp through the fog, and only heard that in the fog in the distance, there were still crying, howling, shouting, cheering, and cheering, but they didn't see any more Yi soldiers rushing in, and they also knew that these Yi soldiers had finally eaten a trench and grown wise, and they would never come over to die.

Liu Zhaoji looked back at Wang Guozhen and said, "General Wang! Do you think our army can take advantage of the situation to attack the city?! ”

Liu Zhaoji's eyes were blazing, full of expectations, of course Wang Guozhen knew what he meant, if he could take Shuixi City so easily, it would be a great achievement!

"How do you know if you don't try!?"

After Wang Guozhen said this, he immediately ordered: "Mo and the Jingsuo Department stay behind, and the others listen to my orders!" Open the camp gates! Follow me! ”

At this time, Wang Guozhen gave an order, and a team of Guizhou soldiers rushed forward to reserve the fence on the earthen wall as a gate, cut down the rope, and pulled it inward.

Wang Guozhen held a shield in one hand and a knife in the other, shouted "Follow me", took the lead and rushed out of the camp.

Liu Zhaoji also held Chongzhen's spear, and followed Wang Guozhen to jump out of the earthen wall.

Behind the two of them were the soldiers of the Guizhou Army and the Tiance Wei Right Wing Guerrilla Division who roared out!

Use muskets and artillery, which are long-range weapons, to set up ambushes, wait for Yi Miao native soldiers armed with short-handed soldiers such as rattan cards and machetes to attack, and then destroy them.

This is, of course, a very low-effort way to play.

But the time to play this style of play is not always available.

If you are in a flat and open field, the musketeers can line up and shoot their opponents.

But when the enemy has his back to the city and the bow and arrow at the head of the city to help him, the power of the musketeers is greatly reduced.

Liu Zhaoji was originally good at spears, but now he is the deputy commander of Tiancewei, a pure firearms unit, and he also likes to use the Chongzhen style in his hand as a spear, and likes to integrate his own spear tactics into the technique of fighting bayonets.

This preference of his was soon popularized among the Tiance Wei Youye Guerrilla Division, so that everyone in the Guerrilla Division could fight with a good bayonet.

Liu Zhaoji followed behind Wang Guozhen, jumped over layers of corpses, and suddenly came out near the Yi soldiers who were in a dilemma, frightening the group of Yi soldiers who were cowering backwards.

"Officers and soldiers are coming! Officers and soldiers are coming! ”

Bursts of shouts rang out.

An Long, who was at the head of the city, heard the shouts of the city, and immediately realized the possible danger, and immediately shouted: "Close the city gates!" Close the gates! Don't let the officers and soldiers seize the city gates! ”

The Yi soldiers, who had long been crowded in the city gate cave to guard the city gate, listened to this order and immediately began to close the city gate.

However, with a creaking sound, the Shuixi Yi soldiers, who were originally crowded in the middle of the city gate and the official army barracks, were really scared now, and they no longer had the intention of fighting, and rushed towards the city gate one hundred and ten steps away.

Some of the soldiers under the command of Wang Guozhen and Liu Zhaoji followed and killed, and some died by trampling on the road for each other, and those who were stoned to death by the panicked defenders of the city head who threw the rolling wood and stones to block the city gate accounted for a considerable part.

In short, when the city gate was finally closed, and when the fog in the early morning dissipated with the rising sun, outside the east gate of Shuixi City, until the simple barracks of the official army, the ground about 300 paces long and about 400 paces wide was densely covered with corpses.

Especially in front of the city gate and the concave front of the official barracks, the corpses of the Yimiao native soldiers in Shuixi are pressed one by one, one by one, one by one.

The officers and soldiers on Wang Guozhen and Liu Zhaoji's side, except for a few who were slightly wounded, none of them were killed, and the Shuixi Yi and Miao native soldiers who were ordered to go out of the city to sneak attack the official army, less than 800 of the 5,000 people finally escaped alive, and the rest either died on the spot, or were shot and fell to the ground and were killed by the officers and soldiers who went out of the camp to pursue them.

At noon at that time, An Long, who was shocked and inexplicable, quickly ordered to completely block the east gate of Shuixi City with a boulder, which not only cut off Wang Guozhen and Liu Zhaoji's idea of raiding and seizing the city, but also cut off the possibility of going out of the city to attack and disturb the official army to repair the road.

Under Shuixi City, the enemy and us entered a state of stalemate and waiting.

Wang Guozhen and Liu Zhaoji can only wait here for the post road from Guli Town to Shuixi City to be repaired as soon as possible, and then Zhu Xieyuan and Xu Chengming rushed to the city with a general's cannon.

And An Long, the local marshal of Shuixi City, was sending people to report to An Bangyan while waiting for An Bangyan's reinforcements and instructions.

He knew that if a large number of reinforcements did not come, if he waited like this, Shuixi City would sooner or later be like Guli Town, sixty miles away, and finally be bombarded by the officials and soldiers with artillery.
