Almost all of the Kudin in the arsenal were local residents of Jinhua City, but it would be an exaggeration to say that none of them had ever been in battle, as the rebels of the Ordnance Division and the Fubiao Battalion had claimed. At least the vice-captain on duty today has not only been in battle, but he is also a veteran of the old Nantang battalion at the beginning, even if he was just a firefighter at that time.

Shi Erniu, a person from Yuyao County, Shaoxing Prefecture, is currently the second brother of Shi Daniu, the second brother of the Mandarin Duck Array Killer Team of the Fourth Infantry Team of the First Bureau of the Nantang Battalion, when he fled to Dalan Mountain, he and his eldest brother defected to the Nantang Battalion as a fireman.

It's just that his eldest brother was appreciated by the officers of the department during his time in Tiantai Mountain because of his hard-working, hard training, and strong obedience, and he soon became a soldier, and even recently became the commander of the oldest Mandarin Duck Array killer team in the Nantang Battalion.

In contrast, Shi Erniu's new round of reorganization until this year is still the same timid and afraid of things, and it may not be enough to continue to serve as a firefighter in today's increasingly stringent recruitment standards, especially if he is still a senior veteran, which is even more eye-catching.

Fortunately, although the training department could not pass the level, but the senior veteran was a senior veteran after all, Gu Shouli, who was still in charge of the personnel assignment at that time, found him a position as the deputy captain of the arsenal guard, which was just convenient for him to take care of his parents and younger siblings who lived in the city temporarily, and the land he planned to be allocated was in a village not far from the city, and he could be regarded as taking care of the old brothers who had been born and died and followed Chen Wen.

The arsenal was very important, but it was located in the prefecture, so the captain of the main post was also served by the garrison of the prefecture. And today. The garrison was still in the barracks in the city, and the veteran who joined the Nantang battalion on Tiantai Mountain, who was also the deputy captain, also caught up with Xiu Mu, and he was responsible for the safety of the entire arsenal.

From a distance, he watched a large group of Ming troops hurrying here, but the officer at the head was not a familiar face to him. Shi Erniu, who had always been timid, hurriedly beckoned the guards to close the only gate, and even sent people to prepare wolf smoke in case of contingency.

The arsenal was the most important storehouse in the city during the war. Chen Wen originally planned to build it into a small fortress, but with the shortage of manpower required for the fortifications of Anhua Town, many warehouses, barracks and other military facilities in the area occupied by the Jinhua Ming Army could only be built simply according to the low allocation for the time being, and even some of the lower priority could not even meet this standard, so they could only deal with it casually. In contrast, this arsenal is only a low-profile product as originally planned, with high walls, corner towers, and beacon towers, which is already relatively strong.

Someone was sent to inform the remaining officials of the Quartermaster Department, and Shi Erniu climbed up the corner tower. Shout out to the Ming army outside the arsenal. "Which battalion is the comrade outside the door, the arsenal is heavy, what is the matter with gathering outside?"

Seeing that there were guard officers shouting on the corner tower, He Decheng, the deputy general of the Fubiao battalion who led the team, wiped the oil and sweat covered by a handful of armor, and shouted to Shi Erniu: "This general is He Decheng, the deputy general of the Fubiao battalion, and he came to collect weapons and armor with his brothers under his command on the order of Master Cao of the Fujun Army. It's all the robes of the king's master, please trouble the brothers upstairs to open the door, and let's go and hand over to the quartermaster. "Say it. He Decheng took out an order.

Fubiao Battalion!

As a senior veteran, he is the deputy captain, and he also has an older brother who serves as a captain in the Nantang camp. Although Shi Erniu's personal ability is relatively poor, his qualifications are there, and the garrison who only entered the camp a month earlier than him still has something to say, so he also has some understanding of the origin of this Fubiao battalion.

Before Chen Wen set out on the expedition, the backbone of the Ming army in Jinhua Mansion was all from the old Nantang battalion, and a large number of locals were only recruited. Military power was all concentrated in Chen Wen's hands. However, with Chen Wen's expedition, ten days ago, Cao Conglong recruited Luo Chengyan's Baitou Army to form this Fubiao battalion, and there was suddenly an additional Ming army in the local area.

The incident happened suddenly, and Yin Yue, the chief soldier of the highest officer corps who remained in Jinhua, was only responsible for the defense of the northern front, including Yiwu, Pujiang and Anhua Town. And Chen Wen was even far away in Quzhou, and when the former Tianfubiao battalion asked to enter the city to protect Cao Conglong to fulfill his duties, the garrison did not hesitate to block them outside the city. However, as Cao Conglong, who nominally had the right to supervise the army, arrived at the scene, the garrison did not dare to make a hard top, so they had to use the excuse that the armed personnel were not allowed to enter the pile of rags of the Luochengyan Baitou Army, and sent people to Quzhou to report that these people were allowed to enter the city.

This method of disposal is not a mistake, mainly because after Chen Wen went on the expedition, Jinhua Mansion City no longer has the right to compete with Cao Conglong. Originally, the collection of weapons could give the defenders an absolute advantage, but they didn't expect that there were ghosts in the Ordnance Division in the city to cooperate, but some of the backbone figures in the Fubiao camp were fully armed.

Seeing that there were nearly two hundred people on the opposite side, nearly 100 of whom held the weapons of the Jinhua Ming Army, and the dozen or so people led by them came in armor in the hot and humid weather that had begun to be a little hot and humid in late May.

This Fubiao battalion is not ordered to change its outfit at all, it is clearly a rebellion, and it must have achieved a certain amount of precedence, otherwise how did those weapons and armor come from?!

What to do?

For Shi Erniu, who was relatively stupid, he really didn't know what to do, so he chose a smart and capable way - to ask others. After a perfunctory sentence, Shi Erniu went down to the corner tower and just met the person he was looking for, the head of the quartermaster who stayed behind.

The head of the Quartermaster Department who stayed behind was a staff member recruited by Chen Wen when he was on Tiantai Mountain, and he was a disciple of the gentleman that Wu Dengke had invited before.

After listening to what Shi Erniu saw and heard in three or two sentences, the principal immediately came to the same judgment as Shi Erniu, but there are only about 30 guards and a group of people in this huge arsenal, and most of the defenders in the city are scattered at various gates, so how should they act?

Looking at Shi Erniu's eagerly expectant gaze, the principal knew very well that this junior officer of the garrison was really not a guy with enough adaptability. The noise of the drum outside the big wooden gate of the iron clad became louder and louder, and the chief gritted his teeth and asked Shi Erniu to light the beacon fire, hoping that the training officers of the large battalion outside the city and the hundreds of reserve troops who had just been replenished could enter the city in time to quell the chaos.

Parting ways with the principal, Shi Erniu hurriedly returned to the corner tower to continue to delay time, preparing for the lighting of the wolf smoke, the assembly of the guards, and the organization of the people, but at this moment. But I saw that the Fubiao battalion, who had been waiting impatiently outside the door, had brought a log, which seemed to be intended to be used as a battering ram.

The rebels have completely torn off their disguises, Shi Erniu knows very well that there are many people on the other side, and there are only thirty or so guards on his side who have only carried out the necessary military training but have not been in battle at all, and a group of people who have begun to tremble before they can do anything, the iron-clad gate is very strong, and there are latches and logs behind it, but once it is breached, these guys inside will only collapse immediately.

With Shi Erniu's order. A few archers in the two corner towers near the gate fired arrows at the soldiers of the Fubiao battalion who were carrying logs.

Luo Chengyan's white-headed army is no different from many rebels and bandits, the leader is Zhou Qingui, the following are He Decheng, Ni Liangxu and several other leaders with their own parts, and below there are old brothers, veterans and younger brothers and recruits who are the backbone.

He Decheng came here with him and Wang Ru'an's troops and some newly recruited recruits, and there were very few of those who had seen blood in the troops that came down from Luo Chengyan, not to mention the recruits who had just been recruited for a few days. In the face of the fires from the corner tower, the recruits carrying the logs were caught off guard and immediately shot down many people, and even the logs were thrown to the ground. Even these two hundred men began to retreat under this sporadic fire.

Hiding behind the players, He Decheng's face was covered with sweat and almost began to obscure his vision. He took off the helmet of the Rausch and wiped the sweat hard. He knew that if it weren't for the old brothers in armor watching, he was afraid that the recruits would have dispersed in a hurry.

In the final analysis, there are still too many recruits, not to mention that they have not been in battle, they have not even trained, and they have not adapted to the most basic orders and prohibitions. How could they attack such a strong arsenal, fortunately, they had been planning for a long time, and they were not unprepared for a back hand, and that back hand was in the hands of Wang Ru'an, who should have come with him.

He retreated his men into a few alleys and ordered the old brothers to bring the recruits. He Decheng had to temporarily return fire with the bow and arrow he carried, waiting for the arrival of the killer weapon.

At the same time, Shi Erniu on the corner tower looked at all this dumbfounded, the enemies he had faced before were all serious green battalions like the standard battalion in Jinhua Town, or the serious green battalion soldiers in Shaoxing, Quzhou, Yanzhou, Chuzhou and other places, and even the elite of the green battalion like the standard battalion. It's just that, although as a firefighter, he has only cut some heads with the team, and his hands are shaking every time he cuts the necks of those dead people, but after several major battles, he still has battlefield experience, and since the other side did not leave, but continued to shoot arrows and fight back, he was obviously not reconciled.

Looking back at the beacon tower, the wolf smoke has already risen into the sky, and it should not take long for reinforcements to arrive.

Seeing this, Shi Erniu hurriedly praised his subordinates in the appearance of his previous bosses, and laughed at his opponents, which can be regarded as inspiring morale. As for the kind of Chenwen-style speeches that he found more effective, he couldn't learn them at all, so he had to repeatedly say that he would ask the officials for a reward for them.

Shi Erniu was born in the old Nantang battalion, and none of these guards knew about it, so he was very relieved that what he said about asking for rewards could be approved, plus although this person was timid, he was better than being honest, and everyone naturally trusted that he would not be greedy for rewards. For a while, even the newly organized people behind the gate were quite gearing up, as if they were planning to make some extra money for their families on the cowards outside.

When the morale of the army stabilized, Shi Erniu ordered the archers to slow down the frequency of shooting to save physical strength, the combat effectiveness of the rebels was impressive, but the soldiers in his hands were also recruits who had never been in battle, if you count the strong arsenal and the overwhelming advantage in the number of opponents, the two sides seemed to be divided.

Thinking about the fact that there was nothing wrong with dealing with it, Shi Erniu suddenly remembered his eldest brother and those comrades who were still in the war camp while rejoicing. If he can hold this place, maybe with today's performance, he can also return to the barracks. Become a glorious soldier of the Jinhua Ming Army.

Not only can the soldiers give priority to the division of land, but the military salary is also the true color plus the color, which is far stronger than the garrison troops only folding the color after the land is divided, plus the former is more popular, maybe his future father-in-law Lao Taishan probably will not be as picky as he is now on the dowry.

It must be like this!

Defend this place, and you are the hero of the battle. And no longer the rubbish who was secretly ridiculed!

Dreams, it's beautiful. It's just that when Shi Erniu saw the Fran cannon slowly pushed by the rebel reinforcements, the dream was shattered.

He knew what it meant, and he knew how to limit his opponents, and the archers under his command were all trained in the barracks, so he should be able to do it. But no matter how he commanded, the archers trembled one by one and could not shoot the arrows, and even if they did, they would fall weak and weak. It's not as precise as it was just now.

Cannon!

They didn't even know that the cannon with a gap behind the cannon in the distance was called Furlong Machine, but they could see the black hole-like muzzle very clearly, and the damage caused by that thing was immediately infinitely magnified.

The artillery continued to advance, and it was not until the few ordnance officers and craftsmen who were temporarily gunners estimated that they could hit the cannonball against the wall that the Fubiao battalion soldiers pushing the gun cart stopped, and then they drummed up the Furlong cannon in front of the cowering sword and shield soldiers.

Fighting, this should be Qiu Ba's business, but no one in the Fubiao battalion will fiddle with this high-tech product at all, in order to ensure the smooth capture of the arsenal. They had to make a cameo.

Commanding the craftsmen to load the guns and place the fuse, the civilian officer who led the team to come in front of the awe-inspiring gaze of He Decheng and other officers and soldiers of the Fubiao battalion personally lit the fuse. Then he hurriedly ran to the back, as if he was afraid that the Furlong cannon, which had only passed the first round of tests yesterday, would explode.

The cannon was only 100 meters away from the gate, and after the cannonball flew out, it instantly hit the high wall on the right side, directly blasting the high wall out of a gap.

Because they were all recruits, He Decheng really didn't dare to let them climb the remnants of the wall and the gap more than one meter high, so he had to ask the civilian officials to fire again. Merely. As soon as the second sub-gun of Furlong's cannon was loaded, a panicked scream erupted from the otherwise silent arsenal.

The artillery was already in place, and He Decheng, who was expected to be lenient to the enemy, still chose to continue firing the artillery, and this artillery did win a better situation for him, because this artillery directly blasted the door of the arsenal open. Even the door on the left was blown out.

"Rush in, take the arsenal, and everyone will take it with the bounty!"

With He Decheng's order, the Fubiao battalion soldiers of the brigade rushed to the gate in an orderly manner. The distance between the two was only 100 meters, almost instantaneous, and when they rushed in, they saw that the shell not only blasted open the gate, but also killed many people behind them.

The blood all over the ground, with the guards and people who fled with screams and screams, He Decheng knew that he had won, and this arsenal belonged to their Fubiao battalion. But at this moment, he saw a figure in the crowd of people who were scattering and fleeing, and it seemed to be the officer of the guard who had just shouted from the corner tower.

The high wall was blasted out of a big gap, and it completely crushed the patience of the guards and civilians. Immediately after the second cannon sounded, the strong gate was completely blasted open, and even the few people who had time to run away with the future were also killed, the red blood and mutilated corpses were shocking, and the fear spread and could no longer be stopped, Shi Erniu even saw with his own eyes that an archer in the corner tower opposite threw down his weapon and jumped out of the corner tower several meters high, as if he could escape from this dead place by doing so.

Climbing down the ladder of the corner tower, the frightened crowd was still screaming and running aimlessly, and the Fubiao battalion soldiers had rushed in under the leadership of the lieutenant general, and the victory was decided, but he was not reconciled!

Shi Erniu? You say that coward......

The Military Training Department should have dismissed him a long time ago, so as not to embarrass the barracks......

Haha, it is said that his brother was also a coward at the beginning, but after fighting so many battles, he also trained his courage. On the contrary, this coward, still like that, is really ridiculous......

Erniu, it's not the same as before, this dowry is a little too little, let's discuss the family affair again......

If it weren't for the early days with the lord, he would also be worthy of being the vice captain......

……

A silent mockery seemed to ring in his ears again, while another voice responded to the disdain at a louder voice.

"I'm not a coward!"

In the screaming and fleeing figure, Shi Erniu bent down and picked up a spear, this weapon he had learned in the barracks, but he had never used it on the battlefield once, because every time a comrade was injured, he would be so afraid that he trembled, so he had to carry the wounded on his back, and never dared to replenish it into the queue.

But at this moment, as the voice in his heart overwhelmed the ridicule, Shi Erniu's hands no longer trembled unconsciously like they did on the battlefield before, but instead clenched the spear and made a standard starting motion, pointing straight at the leader of this rebel army.

"Nantang Battalion, charge!" (To be continued.) )
