Early the next morning, because the courtyard of the new station was too small, Qin Chuan did not arrange for Xu Tong's people to go out for morning exercises, but just had breakfast in a hurry, Qin Chuan led Luo Peide, Xu Tong, Yu Guangxi, and Xin Delin to the city wall to replace the sentry on duty in the second half of the night.

In the city, after Qin Chuan asked Li Guohua if there was a situation with the Japanese army on the other side, he only brought two guards to inspect the section of the city wall that he wanted to defend and check the situation everywhere.

According to Qin Chuan's arrangement, a sentry was sent to guard the city wall every three hours, led by Li Guohua, Xin Delin, Yu Guangxin, and Xu Tong. At the same time, it was required that no fires be held in the city, no conversations, and no sleeping. asked these four people to lead the team, mainly because Qin Chuan was afraid that Loped's battalion would be lazy and lazy. However, according to Xu Tong and Li Guohua's reports last night, Qin Chuan was still very satisfied with the quality of the officers and men of the Renzi Battalion.

According to Qin Chuan's instructions, yesterday afternoon, bunkers were set up with sandbags every dozen steps on the city wall. Because there are arrow battlements in front of the city to cover it, there is no need for additional protection, and the only thing that is needed is to prevent the Japanese mountain artillery from hitting the city. Therefore, the bunkers arranged by Qin Chuan are very simple, that is, two columns of sandbags half a person high and two meters long are placed on both sides of each duty position.

With these sandbag bunkers, unless the shells land right in the bunker, they will definitely not kill the people in the bunker. If it falls outside the bunker, the shrapnel will be blocked by sandbags. In other words, even if a Japanese shell fell on the city wall, one shell could only kill or wound two or three people.

Qin Chuan held a telescope and looked outside the city, because of the fog on the river, Qin Chuan could only see the fort of the nearest Planting Pine Courtyard to him, and even the bridge connecting the north and south of the Datong River was half hidden in the river fog. However, the so-called breastwall of the Great Wall under the city is about a mile long, and you can see it clearly inside and out, but the inside and outside of the Great Wall are deserted and empty. Only Jiang Youqing was inside and outside the fort on the river bank, but there were figures shaking.

Although there were two forts guarding the end of the bridge in the south of the Yangtze River, the Qing army was still too careless.

Qin Chuan secretly thought that if he took the salt regiment and the Japanese army to change positions, he would take advantage of the morning fog to sneak up and not only launch a surprise attack on the two forts, but even touch the city gate and put explosives.

Although Qin Chuan was a little worried about the laxity of the Qing army, he knew that these accumulated habits of the Qing army could not be changed in a while, especially those who were mostly veteran generals with outstanding military achievements in the past, and they would not like him to preach, and if he didn't do well, he might attract a blank of attention.

However, fortunately, in Qin Chuan's memory, there is no impression of the Japanese army attacking Pyongyang.

After turning around and finding no problems, Qin Chuan returned to the entrance of the Shangcheng Road, but saw that Lopet asked someone to bring up a bamboo deck chair and put it in the place where Qin Chuan stayed yesterday, Lopet saw Qin Chuan come back, just smiled and pointed to the deck chair, then walked to the side and sat on the sandbag, leaning on the arrow stack and chatting with Xu Tong and Yu Guangxi.

Because it was Cindelin's turn to be on duty this morning, Hindlin was looking around the city alone with a rifle.

For the defense in the city, there is also a reclining chair, if this is in the salt group, Qin Chuan will never allow it, but Qin Chuan thinks that Lopet is kind enough to let people move up, if he doesn't sit, it will make Loped ugly. In addition, these people have been deliberately avoiding him since yesterday afternoon, and Qin Chuan also knows their thoughts, so he didn't hesitate and lay down comfortably on the recliner by himself.

Because of its proximity to the river, the air in the city is always damp, but in the light of the autumn sun, it is warm and makes people feel like they want to sleep. Because he didn't sleep well last night, Qin Chuan still feels a dull pain in his head.

Qin Chuan, who was bathed in the warm sunshine, shook his neck from side to side with his eyes closed, and tried to stretch his body on the recliner to make himself more comfortable.

I wanted to take this opportunity to recuperate, but I couldn't help but think of what Wang Shizhen said yesterday, but the more I thought about it, the more chaotic it became, and my head became more and more painful. Qin Chuan closed his eyes and tried not to think about what Wang Shizhen said, and in a trance, for some reason, Gao Miao's figure, who always made people feel neat and clean, and did things quickly, flashed in his mind. In Qin Chuan's impression, Gao Miao was a little too clean, and even Qin Chuan thought that this Gao Miao had a habit of cleanliness.

Suddenly, Qin Chuan suddenly remembered that he had thought of Gao Miao in a trance last night?

This Gao Miao is a big man, but he is just more delicate. No matter how beautiful he is, he is still a man!

"Grandma's", could it be that Lao Tzu has a habit of dragon yang?

Thinking of this, Qin Chuan couldn't help but feel excited on the recliner, and sat up abruptly with a "whoosh", causing the recliner under him to shake for a while.

Knowing that he was a little abrupt, Qin Chuan hurriedly looked around, wondering if he had attracted the attention of others.

It's just that Qin Chuan didn't care about it, but he saw that not only his two guards were around, but also Luo Peide, Xu Tong, Yu Guangxi, and even a few officers and soldiers of the Renzi Battalion who were a little closer were looking at him with wide eyes in surprise. Thinking that he was thinking about Gao Miao, a big man, Qin Chuan couldn't help but feel a feeling of weakness in his heart, and even felt that his "old face" was a little feverish.

Qin Chuan was anxious to explain, but he didn't know how to speak, and when he was embarrassed, he saw Xin Delin running over in a hurry.

"My lord, there is movement of the Japanese army on the other side."

As soon as they heard that the Japanese army was moving, everyone's attention immediately shifted from Qin Chuan to the other side of the river, and Qin Chuan also secretly breathed a sigh of relief and stood up and looked at the other side of the river.

The morning fog on the river is like this, before the sun comes out, the white mist on the river is filled, as if it is tightly covered by layers of white veil, and as soon as the sun warms up, the ten thousand golden rays of light can drive the diffuse fog away in a while. At this moment, the fog on the river has long dissipated, and the sight is not bad, but there is no movement.

"What's going on there? What's going on? ”

Lopet didn't hear the gunshots, nor did the cannons, and couldn't help but look back at Sindelin.

Qin Chuan was also a little puzzled, and when he saw Xin Delin holding Xu Tong's telescope, he asked Xin Delin while taking the telescope handed over by the guard.

"What's the situation?"

Cindelin pointed to the other side of the river: "My lord, look over there, it seems that someone is moving. ”

Qin Chuan held the telescope in front of him, and in the field of view of the camera, he saw dozens of figures shaking on the opposite bank.

Most of these figures would be Japanese soldiers, because if it weren't for the Japanese army, the location of these people at the moment would have crossed the area of the Japanese army, as long as they bypassed the low hill along the river, they would see the siege of the Qing army's Songyuan.

It's just that if these people are Japanese soldiers, then what will the Japanese army do by the river?

If you want to sneak attack the fortress of the Qing army's Songyuan, it is already dawn at this time, and the best opportunity has been missed, and there are too few people.

Since it wasn't a sneak attack, what would you do when you ran to the river early in the morning?

Just when Qin Chuan was puzzled, a dozen or so small splashes on the river surface caught his attention, and he hurriedly gently turned the telescope focal knob so that he could see more clearly.

Qin Chuan's eyesight is already excellent, this German Zeiss has excellent performance, it is definitely a fine product in the military telescope, with the rotation of Qin Chuan's fingers, on the river surface in the lens, there will soon be twelve human heads looming towards the north bank.

It's just that although Qin Chuan saw clearly that there were people in the river, he was still a little strange, looking at the direction they were heading, the target of these people was obviously Giethoorn Island in the center of the river, but what did these Japanese do when they went to Giethoorn Island?

Qin Chuan's doubts were quickly answered, and as soon as those people approached Giethoorn Island, they were out of Qin Chuan's field of vision because of the obstruction of the trees on Giethoorn Island.

However, the dozen or so stripped Japanese soldiers soon came out of the bushes on this side of Giethoorn Island.

Although the Japanese had noticed that there were people in the city watching them, the dozen or so Japanese soldiers did not hesitate, but quickly jumped into the river again and swam towards the river bank.

By this time, everyone had already understood that the Japanese army was going to swim into the river bay to grab the fishing boats in the river bay.

Because the fishing boats near Pyongyang had long been collected by the Qing army on this side of the river, the Japanese army could not find a boat to cross the river on the opposite side.

"His grandmother's, the little devil is going to rob the boat! Let's see how Lao Tzu cleans him up. ”

"Someone."

Lopet shouted as he hurried down the road to town.

"Wait."

Qin Chuan shouted to Lopet and stretched out his hand.

Qin Chuan's guard quickly took Qin Chuan's Mauser 1988 rifle from his shoulder and handed it to Qin Chuan.

"Lao Luo, look at the speed of the little devil's ascites, when you get out of the city, you will call to open the city gate and rush to the river, the little devil has already grabbed the boat and rowed into the river."

After thinking about it, Lopet knew that what Qin Chuan said made sense, this riverside was three hundred meters away from the city wall, and when he turned to the city gate and called Kaicheng, he would go out and rush to the riverside, not to mention that there would be a period of time in Kaicheng, that is, he would rush to the riverside again, and there would be two or three miles on this road alone. And Giethoorn Island is said to be Jiangxin Island, but in fact it is still close to the south coast, and the Japanese only need to have another two or three hundred meters to get to the shore, and even if he goes out of the city, he can only look at the boat and sigh.

But looking at the few Japanese soldiers who were already not far from the shore, Loped still scolded angrily.

"This little devil is treacherous, this is calculated that it is too late for us to go down, so he blatantly came to grab the boat."

As he spoke, seeing the rifle in Qin Chuan's hand, Lopet was a little surprised.

"Lord Qin, it's 300 meters away from those boats here, can you hit it?"

Listening to Loped's words, Xu Tong couldn't help but pout: "Can you hit the shot?" Just look at it. Let's command this marksmanship, that's not what I said. At this distance, if you hit the little devil in the left eye, you won't hit his right eye. ”

Regarding Qin Chuan's marksmanship, he had seen it in the martial arts academy back then, and he didn't doubt Qin Chuan's marksmanship, but because of this distance. Such a long distance is almost beyond the effective range of the rifle, and at this distance, the vast majority of rifle bullets will not know where to go.

If he had other rifles in his hand, Qin Chuan was really not sure.

This is not due to other reasons, but the rifle at this time did not meet the requirements in terms of range. However, the quality of this 1888 German Mauser is not to be said, and the distance of three hundred meters will not deviate too far. Of course, this also takes into account the effect of wind direction on the trajectory. It's just that today's weather is very good, not to mention the sunshine, and there is a rare lack of wind. In such weather, Qin Chuan didn't even need to shoot to accurately hit the target.

Qin Chuan pulled the bolt and loaded it with a "bang", and raised his gun in front of the arrow stack to aim at the fishing boats in the river.

There are 12 devils who cross the river, and it can be seen that these devils are very good in water, and they all reach the fishing boat in the river bay after a while, and climb the boat to overturn the fishing boat.

Seeing that the fishing boat was successfully grabbed, the people on the fishing boat screamed excitedly "wow", and some people even stood on the deck of the fishing boat, raising their hands bare-striped, waving towards Qin Chuan like a demonstration.

"Smack"

At this moment, the Mauser rifle in Qin Chuan's hand made a crisp sound, and with the sound of the gun, a ball of blood suddenly burst out on the chest of the Japanese soldier waving his hands, leaned back, and fell into the river with a pop.

"Smack, smack, smack, smack"

With the sound of four more gunshots in succession, the four Japanese soldiers who climbed ashore from the river to untie the cable fell on the river bank with a bullet in the chest.

The reason why Qin Chuan didn't choose to hit the head was because the distance was too far, not only the target of hitting the head should be small, but the speed of the head shaking was too fast, for the sake of safety, Qin Chuan still chose to hit the chest.

This Mauser 1888 is indeed a rare good gun in this era, the only shortcoming is that the ammunition capacity of the magazine is smaller, only five rounds.

Qin Chuan stretched out his hand to take a magazine full of bullets from the guard's hand, quickly replaced it, and with a "bang", he pushed the bullet and loaded it again, and raised his gun to aim at Jiangwan again.

Although the other side fired five shots in succession and killed them, the remaining seven people still rushed ashore desperately to untie the cables, jumped on the boat and were about to use the oars to drive the fishing boat away from the riverbank.

It's just that Qin Chuan didn't shoot again, and even put down the rifle that had been raised.

Qin Chuan's move, everyone in a hurry rubbed their hands, and Loped even shouted.

"Shoot, sir! If he didn't fight again, the little devil would snatch the boat away. ”

Qin Chuan smiled and said, "You guys also give it a try, it's a pity not to use such a good trick." ”

Qin Chuan said this, several people knew that Qin Chuan would not shoot again for the time being, and a few people didn't care whether they could hit or not, Yu Guangxin and Xin Delin raised their rifles and "snapped, snapped, snapped" and shot three shots in a row. Xu Tong and Lopet also refused to lag behind, snatched the rifle from the soldiers of the Renzi battalion beside them, and shot one after another, but the three of them did not hit this burst of shots.

Among the three, Xu Tong, Yu Guangxi, and Xin Delin's marksmanship was originally good, but the distance was too far. As for Loped, it goes without saying that the Qing military camp officers generally don't hold guns, they only wear waist knives, and his marksmanship is far behind.

Seeing that the Japanese army had swung five fishing boats into the river, Qin Chuan raised his gun again, and in the midst of everyone's random guns, he "snapped" two shots, and two Japanese soldiers who did not paddle were shot and fell into the river.

"Paddler."

Lopet shouted as he shot, but he didn't hear the rifle in Qin Chuan's hand ringing again. Loped couldn't help but stop and looked at Qin Chuan.

But seeing that Qin Chuan was just looking at the Japanese soldiers who were struggling to paddle and smiling, Yu Guangxi, Xin Delin, and Xu Tong also stopped and looked at Qin Chuan in surprise.
