Chapter 70: Naked Provocation

That afternoon, until dark, the Qing army showed no sign of attacking. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 But Pang Yue knew that this tranquility was just a precursor to the coming storm, and it was impossible for the Qing army not to take retaliatory action after suffering such a big loss, so he still did not relax his vigilance at all, and ordered the defenders of the city gates to be on strict alert and pay close attention to the movements of the Qing army.

In the evening, the soldiers were divided into several shifts and took turns to keep watch at the head of the city and patrol the city. A large number of people and military households were organized to build barricades in the city, especially on the streets near the south gate of the town, to defend against the Qing army. The term barricade was coined by Pang Yue (of course, not original), and although everyone thought it was new when they first heard it, they found that it was nothing unusual after seeing the real thing, that is, it was a simple fortification composed of horses, sand bags, and thistles.

Although the south gate of the town has a triple city gate, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and Pang Yue does not want to see the Qing army attacking the city, everything should be prevented, and it is not a bad thing to keep an extra hand.

After arranging all the matters, it was almost midnight, and Pang Yue was not busy going back to rest, but walked around the city again. Along the way, he encountered several patrolling detachments of officers and soldiers. The soldiers' prepared and always vigilant expressions made his heart relax a lot.

However, looking at the familiar faces under the light of the fire, Pang Yue couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Tomorrow will definitely be another vicious battle, the sword on the battlefield has no eyes, and I don't know how many officers and soldiers will not be able to sleep for a long time. Speaking of which, the officers and soldiers are flesh and blood, and if it were not for the war, they would have served their parents and raised their children at home, just like all ordinary people, and they may not have a very prosperous life, but they would not have to worry about their lives. Alas, what if the world was at peace from now on, and there were no more wars? But I'm afraid all this can only be achieved after the complete elimination of Jiannu and the restoration of Shenzhou.

This night, Pang Yue thought a lot, and he didn't fall asleep until the middle of the night when he opened his eyes. Not only him, but also the people in the city, including the soldiers, were inevitably a little nervous. Although the Qing army failed to bargain for anything in the previous battles, with the addition of Manchurian Jiannu, the Qing army's offensive will inevitably be more fierce tomorrow. It is not known what the outcome of another battle with the enemy will be.

In the early morning of the second day, smoke rose early in the direction of the Qing army's camp, and there were also bursts of noise in the camp. Standing at the south gate of Ganzhou Town, you can vaguely see a large number of Qing soldiers busy back and forth, seemingly preparing various siege equipment.

At this time, the soldiers of the Ming army in the city were also ready, and after breakfast, they quickly rushed to their respective positions, watching the movements of the Qing army while sorting out their armor and weapons. The big war is approaching, and almost everyone's face is intertwined with tension and excitement.

Pang Yue, Zhang Yunli, Tian Shizun, and a group of staff officers from the staff office also went to the city, and the group was speechless, just silently observing the situation on the other side.

After another half hour or so, the movement in the direction of the Qing army's camp suddenly became louder. The sound of drums, the shouting of officials, and the neighing of war horses mingled together, filling the air with tension. It didn't take long to see a large number of Qing troops marching out of the camp, and for a while, the flags were like a sea, the crowds were crowded, and the rumbling footsteps rolled towards Ganzhou City.

As in the previous cases, it was still the Green Battalion Army that took the lead. It's just that due to the painful experiences of the previous times, these green battalion soldiers have long lost their initial high-spirited demeanor, and their faces are full of nervousness. The Manchurian Jiannu, who was behind the Green Camp Army, was neatly armored and held high, and the fierce light in his eyes almost swallowed the entire Ganzhou City.

"My lord, Jiannu is here with a cannon!" Seeing more than a dozen artillery pieces looming in the ranks of the Qing army, Zhang Yunli said with a serious expression, after the first few battles, he already knew the artillery advantage of the Qing army, and now he saw that the Qing army launched this kind of siege weapon, and he couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive in his heart. …,

Pang Yue nodded and said in a deep voice, "I saw it." Jiannu has artillery, but our army also has a strong city, so why should we be afraid of him? Defend the city. ”

Even if Jiannu's artillery had a longer range, Pang Yue didn't pay too much attention to it. It is impossible to engage the enemy without encountering the enemy's strong points, and you must not be afraid of this little thing. Think about the anti-Japanese martyrs who fought bloodily against the powerful firepower of the Japanese in later generations, what can these nine-pounder guns and six-pounder guns be counted as now? Besides, this advantage of Jiannu was only temporary, and once Ganzhou Town cast a larger caliber artillery, the situation could be reversed.

Outside the city, the Qing army marched forward in a surge, and when it reached a place more than a mile away from the south gate of the town, it gradually stopped. Immediately afterwards, more than ten horses rushed out under the weaving gold and came in the direction of the city gate.

I saw that these more than ten horsemen were all bright helmets and bright armor, the red tassels on the helmets were erected, the flaming border flags were inserted on their backs, and the war horses were also shrouded in cotton armor. The courage to go straight to the city gate when the two armies were fighting is enough to show that their courage is extraordinary.

After Pang Yue saw this scene, he shook out a smile disapprovingly, and stopped the trapping officer who was about to give the order to shoot. Although the white-armored soldiers were famous, Pang Yue did not think that they dared to attack with only a dozen horsemen, and most of them came with instructions from Turai to send a message. Considering that the Qing army had not yet attacked, Pang Yue felt that it was not impossible to see their performance first.

The more than ten white-armored soldiers were wrapped in puffs of smoke and dust, until they came to a place only about sixty paces away from the south gate of the town. At this distance, even the bows and arrows on the head of the city could shoot them to death, not to mention all kinds of firearms. It was only limited to Pang Yue's order, and the soldiers at the head of the city did not take action. And the dozen or so white-armored soldiers also looked fearless, and looked at the Ming soldiers in the city with a big grin, causing the Ming soldiers to look at them angrily.

After the more than ten horsemen reined in the horse's head, one of the white-armored soldiers who looked like a leader took a few steps forward, glanced at the defenders at the head of the city with contempt, and shouted at the head of the city in slightly stiff Chinese: "Lord Daqing Zhenghuang Banner Gushan Ezhen Tulai addressed General Pang Yue, the general of the puppet Ming Ganzhou: The general is brave and proficient in the way of using soldiers, and he is really a rare talent!" But now that the Qing Dynasty has entered the Central Plains, it is irreversible, and the number of qi has been exhausted! Why should the general make senseless stubborn resistance and be martyred for it? With the talent of a general, if he returns to the Qing Dynasty, he will be reused, and the past can also be written off. If the general is still obsessed, when our Qing Dynasty division breaks through Ganzhou, no one in the city will be spared! The stakes are at stake, and I hope the general will think twice! ”

Hearing the shouts from the city, Pang Yue smiled coldly, not even interested in answering. In his opinion, debating with barbarians is really an insult to himself.

Seeing that there was no movement in the city, the leading white-armored soldier couldn't help but show annoyance, and his voice was a little louder: "Daqingzheng Yellow Banner ......"

I thought you had something wonderful to follow, but I didn't expect it to be the same! If that's the case, forget it! Pang Yue shook his head, and with an expressionless face, he spit out a few words to the officers of the firearms team of the trapped camp not far away: "Send them on their way!" ”

“…… Now that the Qing Dynasty is in charge of the Central Plains......"

"Bang!"

The little leader of the white armor soldiers stopped abruptly, and he glanced at the large bloody hole in his chest with some disbelief, and then fell off his horse weakly. The rest of the white-armored soldiers were stunned, and they all picked up the hard bows around them and wanted to fight back, but unfortunately it was too late.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ……”

The explosion like fried beans suddenly started, and the Ming army and firearms on the city opened fire together, killing the more than ten white-armored soldiers who did not know whether they were alive or dead under the city.

When it comes to out-of-this-world savages, I don't have any "don't kill" rules! Looking at the dozen or so bloody corpses under the city, Pang Yue sneered.

At this time, under the Chinese army of the Qing army, Turai almost gritted his teeth, he didn't expect Pang Yue to provoke himself in this way. In a fit of rage, Turai completely gave up his plan to surrender and roared: "The artillery battalion fires!" Smash the dogs in the city to me! ”

"Huh!"
