Chapter 470: War

The spring morning is a little cold. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info The golden sunlight is sprinkled on the earth, the sun is rising, and you can feel a little warm, which is the morning sun in spring, warm.

It's the best time of the year, it's neither cold nor hot.

In the north of the Zhanghe River, a soil enclosure that is more than a few feet high stands in the field, it is said that it is a soil enclosure, in fact, it is a Western-style fortress, the soil fortress breast wall is two zhang thick, and there is a trench outside the fortress, the front of the trench is a deer rock made of tree branches upside down, behind the breast wall on the fortress, more than a dozen cast iron earthen cannons installed with a new gun carriage, pointing straight ahead, although these cannons are not used, but how much is better than nothing, and the two most powerful 12-pounder mountain howitzers are pointing straight ahead, vigilant against the Han army on the other side of the river.

"What does Sheng Biao Tong say?"

Again, after the herald returned, Huck Shu immediately asked urgently, as the leader of the "Qianzi Battalion", he now sleeps in fear every night, and what he is most afraid of is that the Han rebel on the other side of the Zhanghe River will be killed.

The shells didn't fall for a while, and he didn't dare to sleep in the tent anymore. Hiding in a hole in the ground like a rat all day long. The Han on the other side of the bank only saw artillery shots all day, but did not attack.

But for Huck Book, who was on the front line, he knew that sooner or later, Han Yi would definitely call, they had been waiting, waiting for what?

Huck didn't know what they were waiting for, and now he only had one thought, which was to leave this hellish place, whether it was to Linzhang or somewhere else, just leave here.

"Lord Biaotong said that where we are, it is a critical place, so we must stick to this place!"

The herald's answer was no different from the past.

"Damn, Sheng Lao Wu, why don't you come if you have the ability......"

As soon as the herald left, Huck Shu cursed loudly. After scolding a few words happily, he shouted outside again.

"Li Degong, Li Degong!"

After shouting twice, Li Degong, who was wearing the same Western-style blue cloth military uniform, walked in.

"Your Excellency!"

"How's that thing I asked you to do?"

Huck asked with concern.

"My lord, the matter has almost been done, and it is really impossible to violate it when the time comes, and the brothers will protect you from this ...... no matter what."

After Li Degong finished speaking, Huck Shu said.

"Brother Li, you can't do it if you don't do this! You are a flag man, I am also a flag man, those Han people, if they are caught, they can save a life, if we are caught, whether this life can be saved, it all depends on the face of the person......"

I am Han Junqi......

Li Degong muttered in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it.

"But, my lord, the lord in the south doesn't seem to be very good at killing, I heard that except for the people in Chengdu who killed them on their own initiative, we didn't kill any of our flag people in other places."

"Hey, I said you kid, you know a fart!"

Huck scolded.

"This is not the past, haven't you heard that Xiang Rong's grandson has harmed the graves of other people's ancestors. That master heard that he was annoyed and vomited blood, can he let us go at this time? ”

With that, Huck continued to scold.

"Xiang Rong's grandson is too, you can just beat the long hair if you don't go to harm the tomb of Zhu Hongwu, isn't this forcing people not to give our flag people a way to live!"

If it weren't for Xiang Rong's construction of the Jiangnan camp in Xiaoling, which would have caused a lot of harm to that place, it is estimated that as long as the Han army comes over, Hakeshu will surrender.

After fighting so many battles with Changmao, he has no confidence in whether he can stop the Han army. Even if it can be stopped, it will be temporary.

"My lord, you say, we really can't stop the Han army?"

Li Degong asked nervously.

"Let's, let's play long hair, it's like cutting a watermelon."

"Shit! We almost cut the watermelon. ”

Huck scolded.

"If it weren't for the fact that many adults made a quick decision, led the soldiers of the two towns, and stabbed Shi Da from the flank, it is estimated that the capital will become a family at this time, and our daughter-in-law is estimated to be an adult......"

The reason why it is mentioned that the daughter-in-law will be an adult is also simple, the hundreds of thousands of Taiping troops led by Shi Dakai on the North Road are mostly bachelors in Henan, Anhui and Shandong, and they have won the battle and divided their daughters-in-law, which is a common thing for the Taiping Army on the North Road.

"Hey, our Great Qing Kingdom......"

With a long sigh, Huck shook his head.

"The gas count is exhausted!"

As if his words were printed on them, suddenly there was a sharp whistling sound in the air, in the shell! In the next moment, the sound of an explosion was heard from nearby.

In the early morning, when the bright sun shrouded the land, the whistling of cannonballs once again broke the silence of the early morning, and it had no effect on the arrival of Naha and the others who were on the river dam.

"Hey, this cannon's not going to be accurate."

Looking back at the few clouds of smoke that exploded near the fortress, Naha said in his mouth, as if he was looking at the flowers on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, all of which looked like they were looking.

"Oh, I see that they have been fighting for so long, I guess they are tired, and they are also hindered by the military life to shoot two cannons."

Li Benye glanced behind him and said so.

"I don't think so, this Han army's cannonade is a fucking quasi-...... thief."

On the one hand, there was cigarette in the cigarette pouch and pot, Yang Guowu said this, and then drew a foreign fire and lit the cigarette pouch, this foreign fire still came from the south, which couldn't be more convenient.

"It doesn't matter if the damn is allowed or not, as long as it doesn't fall on our heads!"

Naha has no realization, for him, it is the duty of a person to die and not die to be poor.

Staying on the river dam like now, it will be safer at that time, at least not to be shelled, and if you find that the Han army is going to cross the river, you will run back as soon as possible, in short, most of the time, it is safer here than other places, and if there is a real war, it will not be safe anywhere.

The reason for setting up this observation post is very simple, it is to be vigilant against the Han army on the other side, everyone knows that the Han army on the other side will definitely cross the river, in order to prevent them from crossing the river, the bridge on the river has long been blown up, and even the small boats in the river have been burned.

The observation post where Naha is located is also in a very good position, there is a big willow tree in front of it, and if you don't look carefully, you can't find it here at all.

"What, the pot hasn't come back yet? Lao Tzu is hungry and his heart is close to his back......"

Standing up, Naha looked in the direction of the fortress, and the pot in his mouth was the brother in the shed, and he went back every day to bring them food.

When he stood up and looked towards the opposite bank, he was surprised to find that there was a spindle-like thing on the willows on the other bank.

"Boy, what is this?"

Looking at the spindle-like thing floating in mid-air in surprise, Naha blinked.

"You guys, do you know what it is?"

Several people stood up one after another, and they looked at the green thing floating in mid-air in amazement, and their faces were all dazed.

"Hey, look, there's a big box down there?"

"What a box, it's clearly a basket,"

"Yes, it's the basket, and there's someone in the basket!"

Because they were only more than 100 zhang apart, they could vaguely see the people in the hanging basket, but they didn't know that what was floating in the air was a balloon that appeared on the battlefield for the first time, and this was an artillery school-fired balloon, a new type of weapon that had just been invented a few years ago.

At this time, the artillery shooter in the balloon basket was correcting the shelling. To lead the artillery to shoot across the artillery, for the artillery, this is an extremely new method of shooting, and their European counterparts have not even heard of it at all, even for the Han army, it is an artillery technique that is being tested, and even the previous shelling of the fortress is also a test.

The battlefield is the testing ground!

And now, the latest artillery school-firing balloons, artillery, are being put into this vast testing ground in order to gain experience in use.

And just when Naha and the others on the other side of the river looked at the huge green hydrogen balloon, wondering what it was. Yang Guowu looked at the other side of the river, and the whole person was dumbfounded.

On the other side of the river, at some point, hundreds of people rowed in small boats towards this side of the river, and some people were carrying small boats and were going down the river.

"My God......"

The cigarette pouch and pot in his hand almost fell to the ground.

"It's coming, it's coming......"

Yang Guowu said this in his mouth, and when he looked at it, it wasn't what it was. Before others could react, he turned over and climbed out of the trench, and his movements were never so swift. He said as he ran.

"Quick, let's go, Han, Han is coming......"

The others looked at the head of the shed, running so fast. All of them followed the head of the shed, all of them hurriedly turned out of the trenches, spread the girls and ran in the direction of Baosang, if they stayed in the past, maybe they would have become deserters, but they did not dare to escape, because when they were recruited, their families were all registered in the government and registered.

"Chief, chief, what are you doing?"

Halfway towards the fortress, Naha came across a pot with a basket in his hand, and he finally brought back the meal. The pot asked inexplicably.

"Pot, run back......"

Naha's voice hasn't fallen yet,

At this time, there was a strange sound in the air, the sound was different from the cannon sound heard in the past, but there were some similarities, if the Han army fired artillery in the past, it was like there was a person, or several people whistling in the air, then now, the sound in the air sounded like there were hundreds, or even thousands of people whistling together, and the sharp whistle had a big step, and it meant to tear the sky apart.

In the next moment, as they were running on the road, they only heard a violent explosion in front of them, and for a moment the whole world began to shake.

"Oh my god!"

At the moment when the ground shook and the mountains shook, Naha first screamed in fright, and just as he was about to pounce, he looked at the stupid pot standing in a daze, and threw him to the ground with a fierce hand, shouting loudly at the same time.

"down......"

In the midst of the shaking of the ground, Naha saw that the fortress in front of him was completely enveloped in the smoke of the explosion, and the shells landed accurately in the fortress, not even a few shells fell outside. The earth wall that was several feet thick blocked almost all the steel fragments, which made Naha and the others lying on the ground without any danger at all.

But even so, Naha and the others still didn't dare to stand up, and when they were lying on the ground, they looked at Naha who was caught in the sea of fire, looked at the fortress, and even had an illusion that the fortress was like a stove, completely swallowed.

"My mother-in-law ......"

Guozi looked at the Tucheng he had just come out of in horror, and felt cold sweat all over his body, if he came out with a bag of cigarettes later, it is estimated that he would also be buried in it at this time, not buried, but "burned" to death inside.

"Shed, shed, now, what to do now......"

The pot looked at the head of the shed, and now Naha has become the backbone of more than a dozen of them, looking at the earth city, who knows, the people inside must be more than lucky, maybe, and now they are almost dead.

"That's it, shed, shed, we, what should we do now?"

Li Benye swallowed nervously, the ass was still followed by Han Jun, maybe now they had all crossed the river and were running towards this side.

"What, what?"

And he saw that the brothers had their eyes set on themselves. Naha said.

"I, what the hell do I know, I, I'm a banner man, you, you are Han, you don't know, how do I know......"

This will be Naha regretted that he was a banner man, if he was a Han person, how many should there be, now raise his hand and surrender to his mother.

But he is a flag man.

"Chief, according to me, according to me......"

Yang Guowu first glanced at the back, then at the front, and then said.

"This Great Qing Kingdom, the designation is over. Shed chief, if you don't dislike it, just, go to your hometown in Shandong with a few of you, and when you get there, no one knows you, you bite the Han people, who can get you? ”

Although he didn't say that he was a deserter, the meaning of his words couldn't be clearer. It's the big guy who runs away and becomes a deserter.

Yang Guowu said this, although there are still daughters-in-law and children in the capital, although he is reluctant to have that big family in his heart, but Naha thinks in his heart, no matter what, this year, it is important to save his life first.

After figuring it out in his heart, Naha said to Yang Guowu.

"I, I, I, and I will walk with you......"

Naha didn't even notice that the Beijing piece in his mouth would even have a Shandong accent. As soon as the head of the shed said this, several people who were already frightened would hesitate, and immediately got up and ran towards the east.

Behind them, the fortress of the earth city was still twisted in the flames, and the people there were blown up into the sky before they even had time to dodge.

On the Nazhang River, thousands of warriors rowed sampans and boarded the other side of the river......
