The army of the Japanese is assembled, and there is a siege of the city!

After Fan Qing learned the news, he immediately rushed to the city wall, and after quickly climbing the city wall, he found that the Japanese had not yet begun to attack the city, he found that the city wall was full of firearms and crossbows, as well as a large number of sandbags, Zheng Guang lay on the side of the city wall and looked down, so he walked to Zheng Guang's side, looked down together, and saw that it didn't matter, and was stunned. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

I saw thousands of Japanese robbers lined up in a crooked array that could barely be regarded as an array coming in the direction of the city wall, slowly approaching, the black pressure looked very infiltrating, brandishing knives and guns Ula Ula screamed some incomprehensible words, it seemed to be deterring, showing his strong combat effectiveness, in Zheng Guang's eyes, only the Mongolian iron cavalry only needed a charge to solve the rabble, but now these Suzhou soldiers are difficult to reach the tough opponent.

It would be good if the army he brought out came to Daming with him, but as long as there were one or two hundred people in his hands, Zheng Guang would not be forced to use firearms to deal with the Japanese Kou as he is now, if the Ming army in the city has the strength to fight, he can use firearms to break the enemy, and then go out of the city to chase and kill the Japanese Kou, and make a great contribution, but now these Ming troops do not have the ability to face the Japanese Kou head-on, and can only use long-range strikes to avoid close combat.

It seems that these pirates don't want to endure anymore and are about to attack the city.

"There are a large number of Japanese pirates, and the momentum is like a rainbow, on the other hand, the morale of our army is low, and the soldiers have no fighting spirit, if it goes on like this, even if there are firearms, it is useless......" Fan Qing's voice sounded low in Zheng Guang's ears, Zheng Guang turned his head: "Fuzun, fighting spirit is not innate, the fierce reputation of the Japanese is all over the southeast, everyone knows that the Ming army loses more and wins less, so everyone generally thinks that the Japanese are strong and invincible, and admit defeat before fighting."

But from the beginning of killing the first enemy army, the mentality of our soldiers began to change, the more enemies they killed, the higher their fighting spirit, until finally they will feel that the Japanese are nothing more than that, and now they have not started to fight, everyone thinks that we will lose, that is the illusion that the news of defeat has always given us, in fact, the Japanese are nothing more than this, the army is not neat, the clothes are ragged, and the army is not in the army, it is really a rabble! ”

Fan Qing heard Zheng Guang say this, and suddenly had a strange idea, feeling that what Zheng Guang said was right, those people said that the three-headed and six-armed Japanese were invulnerable, it seemed that it was really like that, the soldiers here had never directly faced the Japanese invaders, and they couldn't talk about their combat achievements and experience, but he had participated in a battle with Tang Kekuan, a famous general in the southeast, and witnessed how Tang Kekuan defeated the Japanese invaders.

The Japanese are not invincible, but in daily life, everyone unconsciously demonizes the Japanese Invaders, thinking how terrible the Japanese are, and unconsciously puts themselves in a relatively disadvantageous position, so that everyone mistakenly thinks that they cannot defeat the Japanese Invaders, and the occasional victory is a fluke, it is lucky, not the embodiment of the real strength of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming army should be defeated, etc., but in fact, many of them have never even seen the face of the Japanese Invaders.

Fan Qing suddenly felt that he had a better understanding of this little friend, he could see the places that ordinary people could not see, peel off the cocoon from all kinds of unreasonableness, find the reasons for the unreasonableness, and make corrections, so that people know what the true face of this matter is.

"So, what are we going to do with these pirates?" Fan Qing asked.

Zheng Guang said in a low voice: "I have ordered the army to push all the firearms back, so that the Japanese under the city do not know that there are firearms in the city, I estimate that the Japanese should also understand that it is not easy to use firearms, so I will deduce that there is no army in Suzhou, which is short of major generals, will not use firearms, so I relaxed my vigilance, and I definitely did not think that our army has hidden a large number of firearms to prepare for war, and now the Japanese are still far away, and when the Japanese approach, after entering the firing range, our army can suddenly shell them with artillery and rockets, and the Japanese will be caught off guard and will definitely suffer heavy losses. After that, our troops attacked it with continuous fire, so that it could not approach the city walls and had to retreat. ”

Fan Qing's face was overjoyed, he turned his head to look at the hideous firearms and the soldiers who were constantly operating some steps that he couldn't understand, and looked at Zheng Guang with more satisfaction: "After this battle, if Suzhou can be preserved, even if you are not selected to raise people, I will report to the court and protect your identity as a lifter!" ”

Zheng Guang glanced at Fan Qing, and said helplessly: "I'm not so useless, I will take the exam in a dignified manner!" Then take the Jinshi exam! ”

Fan Qing smiled, didn't say more, and turned his gaze to the black and oppressive widows under the city, but there was an extra expectation in his heart, a very strange expectation.

Time passed slowly, the Japanese army was getting closer and closer to the city wall, Zheng Guang secretly ordered the firearms troops to be ready to ignite at any time, and then pushed the artillery and rockets to the side of the city wall to prepare for launch, the soldiers had even lit the fire, just waiting for Zheng Guang to give an order to start the first ignition in his life, when he was very excited, a person suddenly drilled out of the Japanese array under the city, riding a horse, waving a white flag, and rushed to the city wall.

The Japanese army stopped advancing, about 700 steps away from the city wall, and according to Tang Shunzhi, the effective range of the Franc machine artillery is about 300 steps, and the maximum range can reach more than 500 steps, but that quasi-head, not to mention, because the Franc machine artillery is a breech-loading artillery, the air-holding performance is poor, and the shells cannot get more propulsion, so the range is short, if you want to achieve a precise strike, it is best to control the range within the range of 200 steps to 250 steps.

Zheng Guang calculated and asked professionals, Da Ming's step is about 1.5 meters, that is to say, the Fran machine artillery is an accurate and effective powerful strike within the range of 300 meters, beyond this range, the accuracy decreases, and the strike strength decreases.

Zheng Guang has considered that the recruits under his command are far from being comparable to professional firearms troops in terms of experience and mentality, let alone the first time to use firearms to attack the enemy, and the blows within three hundred meters are a bit hanging, let alone now, Zheng Guang does not plan to shoot at a normal forty-five degree angle, but intends to move the muzzle of the gun down and directly aim at the target to be shot, for this reason, a large number of sandbags are also prepared, which can not only slow down the recoil, but also cushion high and low, and adjust the angle.

Therefore, the position of the Japanese invaders is not enough to launch an artillery attack, and they must wait for a better time, and at this time, this person suddenly appeared, still holding a white flag, as if he had something to say, Zheng Guang ordered the troops not to ignite the fire, to see what these Japanese invaders had in mind.

"Governor Fan! Don't shoot arrows! Fan Governor's Mansion! Don't shoot arrows! The man who came on horseback seemed to be quite timid, shouting vigorously Don't release arrows, don't release arrows, for fear that he would be shot to death, Fan Qing also felt curious, and gave Wang Wei, who was quite familiar next to him, Wang Wei was excited, so he shouted: "Who is coming?!" Stop! Otherwise, the arrows will be released! ”

The guy on the horse was already very close to the city wall, and the nervous recruits held their crossbows and brushed them at him, and there was a posture of releasing arrows without saying a word, and the guy shrank on the back of the horse in fright, and scolded the roe deer bastard who had run out of him ten thousand times before he shouted: "I'm just one of the chief's subordinates, not a big man, it's useless to kill me, I'm here to spread the word!" ”

Wang Wei asked, "What's that!?" ”

"The leader told you to surrender and open the gates......" As soon as he finished speaking, a sharp arrow was shot at the horse, not far in front of the horse, and the horse was so frightened that he took a few steps back, and the man was even more frightened and shrank on the horse's back, wailing incessantly.

It turned out to be Fan Qing, who was furious, raised a crossbow and aimed it at the city, and shouted angrily: "Presumptuous! I am an official of the imperial court, and I was ordered to guard one side, and I dare to let the imperial court order to open the city and surrender!? Even if the jade is burned today, I will never open the city! Go back! War! Otherwise, the next arrow will kill you! You traitor to glory! ”

He almost lost his life, and just wanted to escape, but the bastard's threatening words rang in his ears again, and in desperation, this man had to risk his life and shouted: "The leader said it!" As long as you open the gates! We only take money, grain, and firearms from government warehouses, not from ordinary people, and we don't harm a single human life! Otherwise, on the day the city is broken, that is, when the city is slaughtered, you think for yourself, whether it is more likely that we will break the city, or if you will be able to defend it! ”

As soon as these words came out, Fan Qing, who was furious, was stunned, not to mention the other soldiers, the reason why they went to the city hard, and endured the fear and insecurity in their hearts to fight with the Japanese Bandits, was because they knew that once the Japanese invaders broke the city, they would slaughter the city, and their families' lives and family wealth would be all robbed.

And the words of the widows outside the city made all of them tremble, only taking the money, grain, and firearms from the government warehouse, not taking a grain of rice from the people, and not killing a person, as a leader, making such an oath must be observed, otherwise, no one will believe him anymore, so he will definitely keep his promise, everyone is from a flat-headed common people, and originally joined the official army either to eat with a mouth, or to be a soldier, and he can't shirk it, and he has no choice but to do it.

The high-ranking officials, the full official warehouse, have always been far away from them, what they want to protect is their own family and their own wealth, not the wealth of those officials who do not regard themselves as their own people, the warehouse is gone, the unlucky one is Fan Qing, not them, this is also Fan Qing's final say, not them, but as long as everyone maintains the belief of not fighting, and forces Fan Qing to compromise with cold violence, Fan Qing can only compromise.

For a while, the atmosphere on the city wall was very weird, and many people slowly focused their attention on Fan Qing, who was holding a crossbow but couldn't shoot an arrow......
