Chapter 535: Qilu Bank
Scattered twist army under the leadership of Hou Shiwei, regrouped, began to fight back, the two sides launched a fierce battle under the city of Jinan, after all, the training army is small, only about 300 people, the twist army is more than 2,000 people, the disparity in strength, even if the training army is the elite, with more enemies and less, it is even more difficult to rush into Jinan City, the two sides are entangled together, want to separate the victory and defeat, it is impossible in a short time.
Zhang Yushan's forehead was bruised, and he couldn't stop roaring, ordering the brothers, don't care about anything else, and went straight to the city gate, but was still blocked by the twisted army.
When Zhang Yushan was in a hurry, Zhang Yue led the guard company to come, Zhang Yue was even more anxious than Zhang Yushan, at this time he regretted not preparing some horses in the arsenal, if there were war horses, where would he bother with this?
The guard company rushed to the battlefield from the arsenal to the city of Jinan, twenty miles, and marched at full speed, and rushed to the battlefield in just one hour, seeing that Zhang Yushan's cavalry had been entangled with the bandits, and the cavalry rushed left and right, wanting to enter the city but could not, Zhang Yue was also very anxious, regretting that he was a little careless.
"Brothers, immediately go into battle, hit the ribs of the twisters from the left and right, don't get too close, hit hard!"
Zhang Yue knew that no matter how powerful his 100 people were, they couldn't take advantage of the cavalry in front of them, not to mention that they had 2,000 people, and 100 infantry were put into it, but they were afraid that they wouldn't even be able to float up, and now the only effective way was to shoot on the periphery, use powerful rifle firepower, carry out the maximum long-range strike on the bandits, and fight cautiously, so they might as well be as effective as 50 cavalry.
A guard company of one for two, from the east and west, launched an attack towards the twist bandits, for a time the gunfire became dense again, the twist bandits in the melee fell off their horses, and the twist bandits who had finally gathered became chaotic again, after all, the Chinese in this era are very afraid of foreign guns, the twist army is very poorly equipped, lack of medical treatment, once shot, the small life can be suspended.
Nearly an hour has passed since the arrival of the cavalry of the training army, and the Twist Army has paid huge casualties, and now it has been attacked by foreign guns on both sides, and the Twist Army is even more difficult to resist.
However, now that Zhang Luoxing has led the Twist Army in front of him to attack deeper and deeper, the streets inside the city wall have begun to vacate, and Hou Shiwei shouted: "Retreat, immediately retreat into Jinan City!" ”
The twist army outside the city gate began to retreat frantically towards the city gate, and it didn't take long for it to rush into Jinan, but the twist army withdrew into Jinan, and behind, the four hundred foot cavalry of the training army also rushed in.
Entering Jinan City, Zhang Yushan and Zhang Yue didn't care about fighting with Hou Shiwei, at this time, it was important to protect Guo Ye's mansion, there were only less than ten people to watch the house, once the bandits got there, it would be miserable!
Zhang Yushan shouted: "The first cavalry company immediately rushed to Guo's mansion for protection, and the second cavalry company and the third cavalry company rushed to Qilu Bank with me!" Lao Zhang, where are you going? ”
Zhang Yue said in a deep voice: "Guo Mansion is important, I still go to protect my sister-in-law and nephew, Qilu Bank will have to work hard for you!" ”
Zhang Yushan nodded, Qilu Bank can be rebuilt if it is destroyed, and the sister-in-law and nephew are gone, so it is necessary to arouse the anger of that person, so you have to be careful.
The two of them discussed and acted separately, Zhang Yue went straight to Guo's mansion, and Zhang Yushan rushed down towards Qilu Bank, this is where the boss's foundation lies, once it is destroyed, the work of several years will be in vain.
Zhang Luoxing led more than 3,000 people in the front army of the twisted army under the guidance of Han Shufeng, and went straight to Qilu Bank, as long as Qilu Bank was robbed, it was done, Jinan City was not much bigger, Han Shufeng lived in Jinan City for more than a year, knew Jinan City well, and soon arrived at the position of Qilu Bank.
By this time, it was already getting dark.
Zhang Luoxing looked at the big archway of Qilu Bank in the distance, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he secretly said in his heart, today, Qilu Bank will change its surname to Zhang instead of Guo!
"Yin Dedai, attack immediately and take control of the entire bank!"
Yin Dedai, the small flag master on the side, agreed, and led his three or four hundred cavalry to charge towards Qilu Bank.
The cavalry had just charged less than a hundred meters, and when it was still a few hundred meters away from Qilu Bank, dense gunfire began to appear in the Qilu Bank archway! Countless bullets are coming head-on!
Although this street is not narrow, it is only five or six meters wide, only enough for four war horses to attack in parallel, the twist bandits can not carry out a large-scale attack at all, in the face of dense bullets, the twist bandits do not even have room to dodge, under the blow of rifle fire, the twist bandits in front continue to go down, and the dense bullets make the twist bandits unable to get close to Qilu Bank at all!
Zhang Luoxing was in a hurry, and shouted: "Han Shufeng, is there any other road leading to Qilu Bank now?" ”
Han Shufeng immediately understood what Zhang Luoxing meant, it was too difficult to break through the defense of the defensive forces inside from the front, and the troops could not be deployed at all, and now they could only attack from multiple positions to take Qilu Bank as soon as possible.
After all, this sneak attack on Jinan is not to capture Jinan City, here, only a lonely city can not be held for a long time, the purpose of the raid is to rob Qilu Bank and the arsenal, and now the robbery of the arsenal has failed, and the final purpose of King Wo is on Qilu Bank, no matter what, he must take Qilu Bank!
Han Shufeng shouted: "King Wo, I know other paths, I ask for orders to lead a force and launch an attack on Qilu Bank from the side!" ”
"Good!"
Zhang Luoxing gritted his teeth and said: "Give you six hundred cavalry under your command, and launch an attack immediately!" ”
Han Shufeng ordered a force to turn around and leave.
Inside Qilu Bank, now several big shopkeepers have all arrived here, not only the shopkeeper, together with relatives have moved in, the entire Jinan City, only Qilu Bank is more secure, there are more than 200 people here to escort the team, and there is a city defense battalion, the strength is strong, the twist army can not easily attack down, is it still at this time I am still at home to prepare for thunder?
Several shopkeepers all gathered in the lobby, gathered around Rong Hong, one by one looked anxious, at this time he had already been scared of the six gods, and could only hope that this young general manager could turn the tide, but Rong Hong was just a scholar, he had never seen this kind of battle, and his heart was very bottomless, thinking that Qilu Bank might be destroyed in a flash, Rong Hong's heart was like a knife!
Rong Hong said fiercely: "Ladies and gentlemen, today is today, as long as we hold on until the arrival of reinforcements, there is hope, otherwise, we will only have to live and die with Qilu Bank!" (To be continued.) )
