Chapter 82: War
ps: I don't know if I can receive a text message notification from the background today/(ㄒoㄒ)/~~
As night fell, the atmosphere of the entire Phoenix Terrace became more and more solemn. All the musketeers wore cuirasses and sharpened their bayonets, which, if the worst of the worst, would have been more effective than their guns. All of the scouts belonging to the Phoenix Terrace were scattered, and they did not need to monitor the detectives to the east, but had to keep a close eye on the south bank and the waterways of the Yuma River.
Chen Ming also put on an armor, which was a half-body armor with a chest, back, and back, and it was made of steel. Compared to the average cuirass, the quality and defense are not half a point. There was also a steel knife hanging from his waist, and even four grenades hanging from his chest, and it was not impossible for him to wheel the knife if necessary.
Chen Erhu's equipment is almost the same as Chen Ming's, but there are no four burdens on his chest. Compared with throwing grenades, Chen Erbao is even more at slashing people. There was also the thirty-person team named by Chen Ming as a tank, who did not climb to the top of the city at this time, and hid in the rooms around the gate in cotton jackets one by one, sitting quietly. The greatest saving of physical strength, so as not to soften your feet when you really fight. They are also the only team among all the people inside and outside the Phoenix Terrace who do not have armor.
"Bang Bang ......"
From time to time, gunshots could be heard outside. Since dark, bows and arrows have been used to clear the soldiers, and all shotguns have been used.
"Huhu ......" still has a cold evening breeze blowing, due to the cover of the shield car, the entry and exit of the Qing soldiers in the night, Chen Ming can't see a shadow at all. So when the Qing soldiers suddenly attacked, he didn't be able to preempt the attack at all.
Bao Ning unknowingly transported a few small cannons to the Phoenix Tower, and did not hit the left and right batteries as soon as he opened fire, but aimed at the narrow city wall between the city gate and the left and right batteries. Chen Ming didn't put a few people on it, otherwise he would have to suffer.
The artillery battle between the two sides officially began. The range of the Qing army's small cannons was less than half of the two heavier versions of the three-pound guns on the Phoenix Terrace, but they had shield vehicles to rely on. For a while, you came and went, but there was no effect.
Under the phoenix stage, the fire is bright. Chen Ming had already asked people to throw wood and torches, only a dozen zhang long, and as little as three or five fires could illuminate the front and back. It's just that the Qing army is far smarter than Chen Ming thought, and bags of dead branches and rotten leaves were thrown into the fire by them, and the raging fire continued to burn, but in addition to the fire, there was also billowing smoke.
"Rush, ......"
"Kill, ......" the green battalion soldiers' shouts of killing boiled.
Chen Jiajun, who was completely obscured by the thick smoke, had no idea what was going on outside. "No shots, no guns or cannons are allowed without orders!" Chen Ming roared loudly, it was strictly forbidden to shoot and fire, the ghost knows if the Qing soldiers who were shouting and rushing outside were really dispatched.
A mile away in the Qing army's position, Bao Ning sat on a stool, listening to the messages sent back from the front. His eyes changed from flat to deep as the sea, "The Chen family thief is so calm." ”
"Your Excellency. Then really send troops to attack him once. "There are Nanyang Town officers around Baoning who are asking for battle." As long as there is a feint, and then our army bluffs, can this group of anti-thieves still sit and not mess up? ”
"Makes sense. Pass my military order and let the striker feint once. Idea casualties. ”
Boryeong is still very concerned about the death and wounding of soldiers. It's just that no one knows whether this kind of 'care' is a big element of cherishing, or a big element of fear that too many people will be killed or injured and lose their face or even erase their credit.
"Boom...... Boom ......"
There were two cannon shots under the phoenix stage, and the terrible screams of the Qing soldiers also spread far and wide in an instant.
Two rows of muskets followed, and there was no longer a single green battalion soldier still standing under the Phoenix stage. The offensive launched by more than 30 people ended before it began, and all the people who were alive and lay on the ground screaming.
There were also a few sounds in the direction of the Yuma River, but only a few. Then there was a quick silence. A quarter of an hour later, the return of the reconnaissance unit was that they encountered the Qing soldiers' outpost and did a fight, one of the opponents was killed, and one of the Chen Jiajun was injured. That's the benefit of gear!
Both sides stayed up all night with their eyes open. Chen Ming didn't dare to attack with soldiers, and his biggest guts was to let some people go to sleep in the second half of the night. It wasn't until dawn that he understood that Boryeong had done such a big battle, and he had only done a small battle, and then he had been talking all night. It's not a fucking war, it's a late night.
And stay up more than one night!
There are many Qing soldiers and sufficient capital. After a stalemate with Chen Jiajun overnight, it was dawn to change a group of people to continue the confrontation. And I haven't forgotten to splash water on the shield cart. It was night again, and Chen Ming knew that this night could not be like the previous night, and all the soldiers stayed up with the Qing army with their eyes wide open.
Otherwise, day after day, it will only be Chen Jiajun who will be weakened. Boryeong has more than 2,000 people in his hands, and there are even hundreds of militia that can be drawn at any time. Chen Ming will either defeat his opponent quickly, or he will have to adjust himself, and following his opponent's rhythm will only be led into the ditch by his opponent.
"Uncle Erbao. Lead the team for a while, don't get too far into it. When you hear the gong sounding, you immediately retreat. ”
The scouts inquired, and the Qing soldiers did not have any moths on the south bank of the Yuma River and on the Yuma River. Boryeong's only action on the south bank of the river was to build a checkpoint corresponding to a place a mile away. Just as Chen Ming was detoured by the Qing soldiers, Baoning also had to be attacked by the Chen army.
Chen Erbao led the team to kill from the gate of Phoenix Terrace in an open and honest manner. As soon as the stones inside the gate that had been hit by the Qing army with small cannons were emptied, they immediately rushed into the street, and Chen Erbao took the lead and rushed out with dozens of people.
One grenade after another was thrown out, regardless of whether there were clear soldiers behind the shield carts, they were thrown over first. Chen Jiajun's gunpowder is difficult, but Chen Ming is not stingy at all when it should be used.
The sound of shotguns and handcuffs ...... also echoed in the night sky. Then came the hand-to-hand fighting.
In the longing of the figure, Chen Ming couldn't see who was superior and who was inferior, but Chen Erbao's chanting voice was the best reassurance, and from Chen Erbao's high-spirited voice, Chen Ming could at least be sure that Chen Jiajun was still superior at this stage.
This short but fierce battle ended in the victory of the Chen family's army. The Qing army was killed and wounded no less than 30 people, and the losses of the Chen family army were less than a single digit, and there were many wounded and few dead.
"It's just a side section, so you don't need to worry about it." Bao Ning comforted the guilty general, with three points of joy on his face: "Phoenix Terrace is small and strong, and it is indeed difficult to deal with. If the Chen thieves shrink into it and don't come out, our army will conquer it and pay a heavy price. Wouldn't it be good that now they have taken the initiative themselves?? ”
There are only twenty or thirty casualties, but Boryeong doesn't care.
