Chapter 134: Don't kill your head, just cut your braids, ask for collection
The first is more presented, ask for collection, ask for recommendation
Liu Jincai took half of his subordinates' battalion of more than 400 people, and stupidly watched more than 300 rebels pull out a long snake formation on his left flank, and then carried a rifle, beat a drum, and took a neat step, and pressed up towards his side!
He is a member of the Liu family of Lanfang, not a descendant, but he is not a distant relative who can't fight with eight poles, and Liu Axing and Liu Dabing are distant cousins, so he is quite used in the Fuqing Hall of the Liu family, managing several mines, and charging forward when fighting in groups, and he got the nickname of Liu Laohu.
This time, "Lan Fang is attached", he also became an official, he is a four-grade capital division, and he will have a battalion of soldiers, but it is not a "shotgunner", but a hand-to-hand combat soldier. Equipped with a big sword and spear or something, it was originally said that it would be equipped with a bow and arrow, but no one would use this thing, and it was so expensive (this is a matter of course, foreign guns are produced by large industries, bows and arrows are handmade products of a water, and it is estimated that there are not a few qualified archers in the entire Nanyang, and you will probably have to go to Japan to buy them in large quantities), so his battalion has no long-range weapons.
Unlike Zhu Jishi's Jishi Army, the soldiers of the Liu family were not the model of the new army, so the hand-to-hand combat soldiers and musketeers were separated, the musketeers did not have bayonets, and the hand-to-hand combat soldiers did not have muskets. Therefore, this half of Liu Jincai's battalion was not arranged to be shot on the front line, but placed in the back of the left flank, and now it is time for them to bravely stand up for the Daoguang Emperor of the Qing Dynasty and the Lanfang Liu family!
"Master Tiger, no, the Ming army has a musket in his hand! Brothers can't stand up to the guns! ”
"Master Tiger, we have old and young people in our family, we can't throw them in Nanyang ...... like this."
"Yes, the Ming army is powerful, let's withdraw! This Qing Dynasty has no kindness to us, and it can't be committed to sending your life to Nanyang! ”
"Yes, if you oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, you will oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, I heard that the grandmothers of Sixiu Hall are ready to marry Sir Zhu as the queen mother, maybe this Sir Zhu is really destiny!"
Hearing the discussion of his subordinates, they all said that they wanted to retreat, Liu Jincai also sighed bitterly, who said no! How do a gang of people with big swords and spears fight with those with muskets? Half of their brothers will be killed if they shoot in a row! They all have families and mouths, and what does this China have to do with the Qing Dynasty or the Ming Dynasty? But I'm afraid it won't work if you want to run, the Liu family's personal guards are holding muskets behind to supervise the battle!
"Listen to the Han brothers on the other side, we are the Great Ming Ji Army, and we are here to liberate your ......"
Just when a vote of "Qing Heavenly Soldiers" was at a loss and prepared to smear oil on the soles of their feet, but the supervising team behind them did not dare to run, the officers and soldiers of Jishi on the opposite side suddenly shouted in unison.
"As long as you lay down your arms and surrender to us, we will not kill you!"
Liu Jincai snorted, and his heart couldn't help but move, "It turns out that you can still surrender!" The melee soldiers around him were all looking over him, as if waiting for the order to surrender.
At this time, more than 300 infantry of the Jishi Army had reached a distance of less than 30 yards from these "Qing Heavenly Soldiers", the first platoon was half-crouching and raising their guns, the second platoon was ready to shoot in a standing position, and the third platoon was also ready to fire.
"We'll count to three, and if we don't lay down our weapons, we're going to shoot!" The shouting rang out again, "One, two......"
"Don't shoot, I'll wait for the surrender!" I don't know who roared heartbreakingly, and the whole half of the battalion of hand-to-hand combatants threw big knives and spears together, knelt on the ground and raised their hands high. Even Liu Jincai, the freshly baked master of Dusi, was no exception, seeing a few Jishi Army infantry leading daggers over, this Liu Laohu was still crying there: "Grandpa Ming Army, Grandpa Ming Army, I surrender, I surrendered, I surrendered, I am Han, don't ...... Don't ......"
As he spoke, he was grabbed by a Jishi Army infantry with a Hakka accent, "Don't cry, don't cry, don't kill your head, just cut your braids!" ”
Fortunately, fortunately, Liu Jincai and hundreds of his brothers breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. Now the rule is to keep your head without braids, and keep braids without your head!
Compared with these hundreds of "Qing Heavenly Soldiers" with swords and spears in their hands, the 1,200 musketeers in front of the coalition army are much more miserable. The frontal battle was extremely fierce, the muskets and cannons on both sides came and went, and the Jishi army just shouted loudly, and the other party couldn't hear it, so they could only attack.
The Jishi army invested four infantry companies, one light infantry company and one artillery company on this side, a total of about 550 people, which was less than half of the opponent's musketeers, and the artillery was 3 to 8, and the coalition forces also had the advantage. However, Lieutenant Hortman and his more than 2,000 men did not think so, and they had been beaten by the light infantry of the Jishi Army from the beginning, and then the three 9-pounder cannons of the Jishi Army were also well fought. Although the Allies also had 8 6-pounder guns here, the accuracy and rate of fire were too far apart. The gunners of the Jishi Army were all professional gunners dug from Western galleons, and Reye, who commanded this artillery company, was a veteran artillery officer recommended to Zhu Jishi by Napoleon III, and he could maximize the power of the three 9-pounder guns. 3 cannons and 70 Baker rifles beat the coalition army with flesh and blood, and wailed all over the field. Now the infantry of the 4th Company, with their bayonet-mounted smoothbore guns again, lined up in a neat line, pressed up like a wall. This kind of momentum has already captured people's hearts, not to mention the "Qing Heavenly Soldiers" and the Sultan's native soldiers, even Lieutenant Hotman himself, has never seen this scene! There is a feeling of heartbreak.
At this time, the left flank of the coalition army had completely collapsed, and half of the battalion of the "Great Qing Heavenly Soldiers" had all surrendered, their braids had been cut, and they all knelt on the ground honestly, not daring to move, and there was only one squad of Jishi Army infantry guarding them.
After the bloodless settlement of this half battalion of "Qing soldiers", hundreds of native soldiers carrying baleng knives appeared in front of the three battalions of infantry commanded by Peel and Han Si. For them, Peel and Han Si had no intention of persuading them to surrender, so they directly ordered to open fire and fire the platoon of guns, and after only one round of platoon of guns at a distance of 30 yards, these native soldiers collapsed, screaming and turning their heads and running, leaving only more than 100 corpses and dozens of living dead who were still screaming.
Peel and Han Si were very satisfied with the effect of this round of guns, and as soon as they gave the order, the whole army launched a white-knuckle assault.
……
"Win, win, win......"
Zhu Jishi stood on the balcony and looked at the battle situation in front of him, he could no longer suppress the excitement in his heart, and shouted loudly. Hemming came to a bear hug.
"Won! Robert, Will, we won, really won, West Borneo will soon be mine! ”
Compared to him, Robert. Churchill and Will. Hai Ming is much calmer, this is probably the difference between a professional officer who has received many years of military education and Zhu Jishi, a demobilized doctor, right?
Although before, all the professional officers around Zhu Jishi told him: This battle will be won. But he still couldn't sleep all night for days, and this was a real war! It's not that the future generations will play games on the computer, and if you lose, you can start again, in a real war, losing is the end of all dreams, and it is likely to take your life!
"Jason, this battle has just begun, and we haven't won Zuihou yet." Robert. Churchill frowned slightly and said to Zhu Jishi.
"What? Haven't won yet? Zhu Jishi looked at Fat Qiu in a daze.
"Jason, listen carefully." Will. Heming also said, "Did you hear that?" The gunfire in Xiangshang is dense in the eastern and northern cities, where fierce battles are taking place! ”
"Also," Qiu Fatzi took over and said, "Look there, the enemy's second line of defense has been set up, at least 5,000 people!" Even if we defeat their first line, it will be difficult to defeat their second line, so the campaign has just begun, but it is indeed a very good start. ”
