Chapter 390: Attacking the Port of Champa 3

As a general, if you want to be valued in the country of the Senate, there are naturally only two ways to choose, the first is to be a senator, which Ito knows is no longer possible, even if he is the father-in-law of a certain senator, it is still impossible for him to climb up from this nepotism.

In the contact a few days ago, including the contact with his quasi-son-in-law, he would not always feel the contempt of the elders for his legion tactics, even if Yang Muqin was very careful most of the time, but it was inevitable to show this feeling, Ito Otaku is also an old man, so he can naturally feel it.

He and Maruyama had also discussed this matter that in order to be taken seriously in the Senate, it was necessary to change the senators' opinion of the Ito Army, so he decided to participate in this operation almost without any hesitation.

In order to be able to seize the opportunity to show his strength as much as possible in this operation, he not only brought three Ashigaru brigades, all of which were composed of elites from various armies, but also brought two hundred auxiliaries, although they were auxiliaries, but in fact they were also disguised by elite soldiers.

On the way here, Ito specially chatted and walked with the two elders, and in the chat, he deeply realized the contempt of the elders for the army of Zhanchenggang, Li Yuan and Liu Xu looked complacent, just like the kind of forced captives in the Three Kingdoms Chronicles.

Ito thought it was strange, didn't these patriarchs know what it meant that the arrogant army would be defeated, even if the weapons of the army were inferior to theirs, but there was still a way to shorten the gap in strength between the two sides.

But as an old man, he knows very well the old saying that is contrary to his words, now is the time when people are in high spirits, you go up and pour cold water on yourself, maybe you have to find yourself unhappy, otherwise you simply don't say it.

When he got to the city, he saw from a distance that the people of Champa Port hurriedly opened the gate after they shouted, and knelt at the door as if they had surrendered, Ito beat the drum in his heart, even if there was no longer the will to fight, the two sides had to confront each other for a while before deciding whether to surrender or not, how could they surrender after being shouted by others, but the two elders were not afraid of deceit, and they were full of interest and took the troops directly to Champong Port, and the line was still a long snake, if it was attacked, it would take a long time just to attack.

But he still didn't dare to dissuade him, and he was also worried that if things went well, the patriarchs would put small shoes on him behind his back.

But in the spirit of being cautious and not making a big mistake, he led his troops to move slowly behind, and happened to see that there were weapons on the castle tower reflecting the cold light, and his heart was not good, and as soon as he shouted, the first company that was walking in the front had already been attacked.

The men in front of the first company had just entered the open space at the city gate, and they were shot at, and the bomb weighing tens of thousands of enemies dropped by dozens of pounds fell right on the marching queue of the Foreign Legion on the official road.

The first company is completely incapacitated, and now the second company has only about 100 people, although the firearms can block the city, but it cannot be used to attack the city wall, even if it has been bombarded by flying thunder and cannon to collapse the city gate, the foreign army can not attack, the best situation is to hold the current position and wait for reinforcements.

Ito's own heart was beating wildly, and this situation was exactly what he had been looking forward to, but without the permission of the patriarch, he rushed forward like this, and it would definitely be considered a grab.

But the two elders who came this time, one was hit by three or four arrows and couldn't move, and the other was hit by an arrow in his heart, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and when the two of them issued an order, the daylily was also cold.

In a hurry, Ruan Wenyu, who overheard him, was shouting for his support, Ito couldn't help but feel secretly happy in his heart, and finally seized the long-awaited opportunity, and hurriedly sent soldiers to carry the wounded soldiers and the two elders back first, and then began to seize the initiative.

Ruan Wenyu was also bitter in his heart at this time, as a veteran who had participated in the battle many times, how could he not know that the situation just now was not appropriate, but the patriarch was here to command, where did he dare to say a word, fortunately, the second company where he was was not attacked, and hurriedly retreated and suppressed the city head with firepower, which took the initiative, but he did not expect to be held hostage by friendly forces immediately.

He also knew very well that with his current strength, let alone taking the port of Champong, even if it was difficult to break through this wall, Ito's intervention was indeed the most needed, but it seemed that Ito was planning to take credit.

Ruan Van Ngoc looked around, his soldiers were surrounded by twice as many allies as himself, they were either holding sharp knives, or shining spears, or 1628 rifles with bayonets picked up from the front.

Even if they don't know how to use rifles, they now know how to use bayonets as spears, after all, these rifles and bayonets are quite well worked, far exceeding their own weapons, and the length of the rifle with bayonets can once reach about one and a half meters, which is almost equal to their height, and they also look like these rifles now.

Ruan Wenyu knew that he was at an absolute disadvantage, even if his own soldiers were equipped with the kind of repeating rifles of the patriarchs, they would definitely not be able to get any advantage at this time, let alone the close proximity of the two sides.

He looked at the large number of wounded people who had been placed in the rear, couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said to Ito, "This general, we and the other two sides are friendly troops, both of them serve the Senate, if it was a few months ago, but they both served the emperor, why bother fighting each other here"

Saying that, he shouted an order to the second company behind him, "The second company listens to the order to collect the gun and close the safety."

Although the soldiers were angry one by one, the order was an order, and they all closed the safety of their weapons and put down their rifles according to the order.

Ito nodded, arched his hand to Ruan Wenyu and said, "I'm really sorry, and I ask the little general to promise that he won't attack me." ”

"That's not a problem,"

Ruan Wenyu said and said in the direction of the city wall, "It's just that now the rebels in Annam have already fled the city wall, and if I don't step forward at this time, I will fight back again when they are reorganized." ”

Seeing that Ito was still hesitating, Ruan Wenyu said again, "General Ito has been stationed in Jiezhen all the year round and has fought for the border of Annam for many years, and his credit has long been unparalleled. Even us in Champa Port have long been like thunder. Since the general has come to defect to the emperor at this time and thus join the Senate, he will inevitably join our Foreign Legion. ”

As he spoke, he squeezed his eyes at Ito, "At that time, the general is still a general after all, even if he is familiar with the tactics of the new army, it is much faster than me and other obtuse villagers, Ruan dares to guarantee that within a year, the general will definitely become the general of my Foreign Legion, and I will obey the general's orders sooner or later." ”

Ito knew that the kid in front of him was wearing a high hat for himself, but he didn't wear a sycophant, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his face.

As soon as Ruan Wenyu saw that there was a door, he hurriedly struck while the iron was hot, "Since the general will become the leader of our group sooner or later, then Ruan will lead the second company to obey the general's arrangement first." ”

As he spoke, he untied his Patton sword and handed it over, "Now the Second Company of the Foreign Legion is under the command of General Ito."

Although Ito has always been itchy about these new weapons, he also knows that firearms require a long time of training to exert their power, so he waved his hand to block the Barton sword and said to Ruan Van Ngoc, "The little general is sensible and cares so much about us, so we naturally can't speak ill of your army, so our army is ready to enter the city to pursue the traitors and seize the port of Champong, and I hope that your army can provide support to us." ”

"I would like to listen to General Ito"

Ruan Wenyu knew that he had already taken the initiative, but it was very inappropriate for him to issue orders at this time, and the appearance of occupying the initiative was too obvious, so it was better to push the initiative directly to Ito, anyway, it would be good to disobey him.

Ito smiled and arched his hand, "Little General, we have never commanded such a new army, and if we were to command it, we would definitely not be able to exert the power of sharp firearms. The little general leads the army to fight all the year round, and he must have a deep understanding of the command of firearms. ”

Ruan Wenyu did not shirk, gave a military salute to Ito, and waved his hand at the troops behind him, "Second company, prepare to go to the city wall"

The soldiers grabbed their rifles and rushed towards the city wall under the leadership of Nguyen Van Ngoc.

Ito's herald ran to the front and brought Ito's order over, "The general has an order, attack forward, and enter the port of Champong, but there is resistance, and the chickens and dogs will not be left."

The ashigaru received the order, grabbed their weapons, and rushed into the castle.

Ruan Wenyu couldn't help but be dumbfounded when he took the soldiers to the city wall, just now the flying thunder cannon of the artillery group couldn't have been more accurate, and the cannonballs could have hit the horse road above and below the city wall, and the horse road and that small section of the city wall had collapsed, and his company couldn't help but stand under the city wall from this side now, so he couldn't help but stand under the city wall in a hurry.

He is very familiar with the structure of the city wall of Champa Port, after all, he used to be one of the city defense troops of Champa Port, and the upper city road of the north gate city wall is the only one, in order to ensure that after the enemy occupies the initiative on the city wall, the only passage to seize the lower city also needs to carry out a battle to delay the fighters, if you want to go up the city wall, then you must walk a mile to the east or west to find the next horse road on the city wall.

But everyone knows that the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and if they can enter the battle one minute earlier, they will be able to occupy more initiative on the battlefield, and the longer the time drags on, the more unfavorable it will be to the battle situation.

At this moment, several ashigaru suddenly appeared on the city wall, carrying bundles of things in their hands, and after tying them up on the city, they threw them down the city wall.

Everyone looked at it, and it turned out to be two rope ladders.

To say that Ito's troops are veterans of the battlefield after all, and they basically have plans for various situations in battle, this kind of rope ladder that is easy to carry and retract is naturally brought.

When they found out that the only horse path on the city wall had been blown down, they immediately asked the soldiers who were good at climbing to climb the wall, and then lowered the rope ladder so that the soldiers of the second company could quickly climb the city wall.

Ruan Wenyu couldn't help but admire in his heart, although his foreign legions were sharp-weaponized, they could be regarded as full of loopholes in today's battle, on the other hand, these old-style armies were calm in combat command, and the troops advanced and retreated in an orderly manner, and even some situations that might occur in the battle were prepared in advance, so as not to be blind when they encountered unexpected situations like themselves.

The second company climbed up quickly along the rope ladder, but because the weight that the rope ladder could carry was limited after all, the speed of the soldiers on the city wall was still not fast enough, and several minutes passed, and there were only more than ten people on the city wall.

"Add a rope ladder and send the rope ladder up quickly"

The soldiers under the outer wall quickly tied the prepared rope ladder to the rope, and then the footlight on the city quickly pulled the rope up quickly, and in just five or six minutes, there were three more rope ladders on the city.

The soldiers of the 2nd Company who had gone up to the city wall were not stupid enough to wait for orders, and they roamed the city wall in groups of three or four to provide fire support to the Ito soldiers below.

Ruan Wenyu soon climbed the city wall, and took a closer look at the situation on both sides, due to the collapse of the city tower, the city wall has been divided into two sections, east and west, and the soldiers of their second company are located on the west side, due to the previous artillery attack, the enemy on the city wall has long fled down the city, at this time there are many seriously injured and not dead soldiers on the city wall, and their bodies are lying crookedly on the city wall, Ruan Wenyu did not hesitate, and directly ordered these people to be thrown off the city wall to prevent these bodies from hindering their movements on the city wall.

"The first row goes west, and the second and third rows follow,"

Nguyen Van Ngoc issued orders loudly, and the soldiers moved quickly on the city wall, but the width of the city wall was too narrow, only about two meters wide, that is, the width of three people in parallel, so everyone who acted had to be very careful to prevent accidentally falling off the city wall.

"There is an enemy ahead"

The soldiers at the front shouted, Ruan Wenyu hurriedly raised his eyes, and sure enough, forty or fifty soldiers in armor rushed over from the west.

Judging by the weapons in their hands and the iron armor they were wearing, they must be elite soldiers, and he hurriedly shouted, "Shoot and shoot"

The three or four soldiers who walked in the front hurriedly raised their guns and fired, and the Annan soldiers who rushed to the front received several bullets head-on, and fell down on their backs facing the sky, and then the soldiers who fired the bullets squatted down to reload, and the soldiers in the back row began to shoot.

The one behind also crouched down after the fight, and then the soldiers behind shot at him.

The distance between the two sides was more than 200 meters, their weapons could not exert their power, and the walls were so narrow that there was no way to dodge, and they could not hit the soldiers of the Foreign Legion, so they could only be flattened while charging.

After three rounds of fire, sixteen or seventeen of the Annan soldiers on the city wall fell, and the remaining thirty or so fled back twice as fast as they had come.

The soldiers of the second company seized the opportunity, quickly aimed and fired, and immediately threw all these people on the city wall.
