An order is an order, and the soldiers of the Zheng family's army, who were huddled in a blanket under the city to shelter from the wind, hurriedly jumped up, shook their hands and feet that had begun to go numb, and ran towards the camp where they lived. They did not run away, but to inform the rest of their comrades who were resting in the camp, and now that the temperature was so low, no one could stay in the snow for a long time, so each camp left a few heralds to wait under the city walls, and as soon as there was a situation, they immediately ran back to the camp to call for someone.

"Hurry, hurry! The rebels are attacking! "Quick! Siege! The cries of the soldiers came and went, and the doors of the dimples were pushed open, and the soldiers living inside rushed out, carrying their own modified senate rifles in their hands, and ran towards a large house in the direction of the school field, where the most important place for Taiping City and the Zheng Jiajun - the ammunition depot. The ammunition carried by the Zheng Jiajun who went north this time was not insufficient, and they brought 100,000 rounds of ammunition, which totaled 60 rounds for one soldier. In the previous battle, they had consumed about 10,000 rounds of ammunition, and the rest of the ammunition was placed in an armory next to the school yard as they entered Taiping City.

The armory was originally loaded with a lot of weapons, some knives, guns, sticks and sticks, but because no one had been maintaining them for a long time, many weapons had been damaged, so that Zheng Zhihu and Xu Wei mistakenly thought they had entered a garbage dump when they just opened the door of the armory. This large pile of garbage was also regarded as a treasure by the Taiping City garrison, and the Zheng Jiajun's people were not allowed to use it, and they carefully moved these weapons to other houses in the school field.

This armory has now become Zheng Jiajun's ammunition depot, one by one wooden boxes neatly stacked in the armory, these wooden boxes are still given to them by the Chinese when they sell weapons with bullets, although they initially felt that this kind of fixed ammunition box was too luxurious, but in repeated battles found the advantages of such wooden boxes. These wooden boxes are very strong and will not be damaged by ordinary collisions or falls, and the rectangular flat boxes also have a very low center of gravity, which can be stacked to the height of three or four layers when stacked, and will not be damaged by falling due to shaking on the ship. These boxes also have ropes at both ends that can be lifted by hand to facilitate transport in tandem or solo.

The soldiers ran to the weapons depot, and the soldiers in charge of guarding the weapons also received the news that the enemy was preparing to attack the city, and hurriedly pushed open the door of the ammunition depot and instructed the soldiers outside to start transporting ammunition. According to the custom of Zheng Jiajun, every 10 people received two boxes of ammunition, and the other soldiers carried ammunition to transport the weapons of the personnel, and distributed the ammunition when they arrived at the combat position and prepared for battle. The soldiers who rushed out carried the ammunition boxes, ran to their respective squads, handed the rifles in their hands to the comrades who were waiting on the side, and the comrades took the rifles and ran to the section of the city wall that had been set up before. Zheng Zhihu watched with satisfaction as the soldiers in the city were busy and orderly and fast like ants, and Xu Wei beside him didn't pay much attention to the affairs in the city at all, he only paid attention to the movements of the chaotic army outside the city.

After Koko was reluctant to fight the ball and pointed to Norku

After Koko reluctantly pointed out that Nuoku's order was an order, the soldiers of the Zheng family army who were huddled in a blanket to avoid the wind under the city hurriedly jumped up, shook their hands and feet that had begun to be numb, and ran towards the camp where they lived. They did not run away, but to inform the rest of their comrades who were resting in the camp, and now that the temperature was so low, no one could stay in the snow for a long time, so each camp left a few heralds to wait under the city walls, and as soon as there was a situation, they immediately ran back to the camp to call for someone.

The rebel army outside the city didn't make any big moves at the moment, they just waved their flags there, shouted in their mouths, and shouted some inaudible words in this direction, but they didn't prepare to attack at all.

"That's not right!" Zheng Zhihu also noticed the strange appearance on the other side, "Just waving the flag and shouting, just thunder and no rain." ”

"I don't know yet, let the soldiers go up to the city wall to prepare," Xu Wei nodded, "We can't conclude whether this group of thieves really intends to attack the city, in case it will be troublesome." A cold wind hung over, and he couldn't help but shrink his neck. Anyway, everyone is out in the cold, and they don't wear much more than our people. ”

Zheng Zhihu nodded, "Actually, if you want me to say, it's better to take two or three hundred people and go directly out of the city to face a section of the battle and kill their sharpness." ”

Xu Wei glanced at him a little helplessly, "Don't be the second master of the python, there are two or three hundred people, there are thousands of people on the other side, if you really fill it in, I really don't know where the pad is, and when the two sides are stuck together, they can't be separated." When the time comes, the casualties will be heavy and they will retreat, and as soon as the city gate is opened, there will be more thieves than our people, and it will be even more dangerous at that time. ”

Zheng Zhihu laughed a few times, "I just said, I want to fight!" I really want to! I won the previous game before I could play it, and I thought it was boring. ”

"You are happy, but it is the children of your Zheng family who died......" Xu Wei didn't dare to say it, but he slandered in his heart and didn't pay attention to Zheng Zhihu anymore.

"Big brother! Let's take the city now, right? He Yilong said with some excitement, "Our tens of thousands of brothers have already been pulled out, and we will definitely be able to swallow this Taiping City today!" As he spoke, he put his hands on the pergola and looked at the Taiping City Wall in the distance.

At this moment, there is a big flag with the word "Wu" fluttering in the wind on the city tower on the city wall, and there is a flag with the word "Zheng" next to it, which is also fluttering with the wind, it is this Zheng family army that beat himself to the ground, and now he can't even collect a thousand people, so he has to borrow another thousand people from several other brothers to make up for the scale of two thousand people.

The Zheng family army on the city wall is basically in place, the Zheng family army now has a scale of about 1,200 people, including only more than 800 riflemen, the perimeter of the city wall of Taiping City is quite long, if only the Zheng family army personnel to defend, it will definitely not be able to prevent, so when the defense area was set up at that time, Xu Wei found the Taiping County order, and transferred the Taiping City garrison to his own name.

In fact, this garrison is only a hundred households, and on weekdays, there are sixty or seventy military households under their hands, relying on these people to cultivate hundreds of acres of military land outside the city to live. The vast majority of these military households were "semi-peasants" who were more proficient in holding hoes than weapons, and they would certainly not be able to withstand a few minutes of fighting, so he had another killer weapon when directing the battle, that is, the Taiping County People's League.

The militia is a civilian armed force set up by the people, young people recruited by large households, and their main responsibility is to protect the local law and order - from protecting villages and towns to suppressing bandits and dealing with bandits. Although there are some subsidies from the imperial court, but after layers of deductions, there are no more copper coins left in the hands of large households, so the militia is completely a private armed group formed by large households. Although the garrison has command over the local militia groups, most of them exist on paper, and if they really want to implement it, it depends on whether the big families agree or not.

However, now is not the time for the big families who have the command of the regimental training to talk and count, and when the big families move into the city from the villages outside the city, they bring their militia into the city together, so that not only do they have a group of people who can fight and dare to fight, but they can also put on a show for themselves. After entering the city, the command of the big families was seized by the garrison - all the weapons were confiscated, and the name was "to prevent spies from mixing into the city", which was actually disarming the regimental training, and if you wanted to command the regimental training, you had to be obedient. Therefore, even if many of the weapons in the armory were broken and broken, the garrison still put them away like treasures, for fear of missing them.

But since the garrison was assigned to the jurisdiction of Zheng Jiajun by the county order, Zheng Zhihu has an additional armed force of about 2,000 people, although the weapons of these regimental trainers are not very good, but they are also combatants, and most of them have experienced battles, so naturally these personnel will not be idle, and these militia personnel have also been issued weapons in the stage of combat preparation, some of which are even Zheng Jiajun's own spears and short knives. Xu Wei deployed these personnel among the riflemen, and if they really waited for the enemy to enter the city, they could also be used to block in front and make the riflemen retreat some distance to continue to maintain the superiority in firepower.

Now the Zheng Jiajun riflemen on the head of the city are ten people as a unit, deployed on the city wall to face the enemy's position, originally Xu Wei wanted to deploy a little more densely, but the city wall of Taiping City is too narrow, only three or four feet wide, and it is not necessarily possible to turn around when a person stands on it when it really fights, so he dismantled the entire hundred-man team and divided it into multiple ten-man teams, and when the battle started, different ten-man teams were rotated to ensure the density of firepower.

The word firepower density still comes from the people, when the Zheng family bought this batch of senate rifles, the veterans of the Chinese military industry department personally went out to train them, and the veterans in charge of training during the training were like a river, and they got the full pleasure of black technology crushing in front of a group of dumbfounded natives, and at that time they couldn't stop saying anything, and they threw out concepts and theories such as three-stage hits, metal fixed ammunition, and firepower density without concealment, and even the principles and formulas of the fire cap were said. If it weren't for the fact that the natives couldn't figure out the chemical problems, they would have started to develop mine mercury on their own.

Although Xu Wei can't remember the technical things, there is no difficulty in those entry-level military theories, especially in Fujian, where he has gone through many actual combat exercises of "suppressing bandits", so that he has also gained considerable experience in actual combat command, and Zheng Zhihu has always been brave in combat, so he got the opportunity to go to Shanxi to quell the chaos.

The rebel army outside the city shouted in place for a long time, and then the army was put in order, and now at the forefront was the group of unclothed cannon fodder, most of whom could not even stand on their feet, and stumbled and spent a lot of effort to complete the whole team when integrating the team, and several of them were unlucky enough to be cut off because of their slow movements, and the others were deterred.

The hatred is far away, and the ball is far away

After settling a grudge against the department, he learned to fight a lonely cold ball battle

The crowd in the cannon fodder is numb one by one, their skin has begun to turn blue because of the cold, many people's feet have long been damaged because they have no shoes, and the soles of many people's feet have been blackened, and their eyes are dull and their current situation is like those zombies in the old world zombie movies, like walking corpses, a large group of dumb people stand at the forefront, numbly standing there.

With the three cannon shots, the overseers behind the cannon fodder waved the whip and long stick in their hands and began to beat the cannon fodder in front of them, shouting loudly, "Rush! Go up! After laying down Taiping City, everyone will have a good life! ”

This group of zombie-like cannon fodder was not real zombies after all, although they were almost unconscious from the cold, but they still preserved the last bit of consciousness, and the pain of the whip on their bodies forced them to walk forward.

At this time, Xu Wei took a deep breath, then exhaled heavily, and then said with some relief, "It's finally started!" ”

With the advance of the cannon fodder, a distance began to be vacated between the cannon fodder and the camp, and a large number of soldiers of the chaotic army began to pour out of the camp at this time, these soldiers are the real "descendant troops", and they are the "personal soldiers" under the 36th battalion of Wang Ziyong. These ladders are about four or five zhang long, and there are reverse piles nailed to the tops, so that they can be easily attached to the city walls to avoid being pushed down by the defenders at the head of the city. The ladder men are flanked by rows of shield-wielding soldiers, and their mission is to ensure that they are not subjected to the heavy fire of arrows from the towers when they approach the walls. The ladder men were followed by centipede-like ramsticks, which the soldiers carried behind the group.

According to Wang's consistent way of playing, it is to let the cannon fodder rush to the front, no one expects these cannon fodder to be able to climb the wall and break the city, their role is to consume the enemy's ammunition and attention, and when these cannon fodder rush to the city, there are often only three or four out of ten left, so that the space under the city wall is given up. At this time, the cloud echelon can rush forward, spread out from the attack surface, set up a cloud ladder, and the sword and axe men will follow to the city and fight on the city wall. When the battle on the city wall begins, there is often not much attention on the wall that can be used to defend against the ram that goes to the city gate, and if you slam the door open before you reach the city gate, the soldiers who follow will rush in. Generally in the course of such a textbook battle, the opponent has no way to effectively defend, even if there is a cannon at the head of the city, it is also a series of cannons, and it has little effect on the tactics of the sea of people under the city, as long as the number of people is piled up, basically it will be able to break the city.

Thinking of this, Wang Ziyong laughed, stroked his long beard and said, "It's not that the old man hasn't given these officers and soldiers a chance, since they are killing themselves, the old man has no choice but to send them on the road!" As he spoke, he waved his hand, and the gunners around him hurriedly fired several more horn cannons, only to see a large group of soldiers with short knives in their hands carrying shields and following the hammer out of the gate, and walking slowly towards Taiping City in the distance.
