Chapter 234: A Tale of Two Cities (6)

Chu Fan's crossbow arrows had been shot out, and at this moment he was half-squatting on the wooden bench, cleaning the chamber of Lu Mi Gong with a tong - the owner of Lu Mi Gong had just been shot into the eye socket by a sharp arrow, and he fell headlong under the wall.

In the first half of the battle for the small courtyard, that is, in the ten minutes after the gate was blocked, the guards only fired three shots to scare the rebels back - since there was a temporary warehouse to grab nearby, no one was willing to risk being killed to storm this courtyard with a tall courtyard wall.

During this time, Chu Fan's attention has been focused on the Jiazi whistle.

He saw that the pillar was in danger, that the pillar was concentrating his forces, and that the rebels collapsed under the bombardment of three rounds of guns.

Of course, he also saw that the pillar did not take advantage of the situation to pursue, but directed the A-word whistle to move closer to him; In this regard, Chu Fan couldn't help but stumble again and again - at this time, he should no longer cling to the dogma of concentrating troops, just leave a squad to save himself, and the remaining two squads will follow the collapsed chaotic soldiers, as long as the other party shows signs of wanting to assemble, he will immediately use a platoon of guns to disperse, and he will be able to firmly grasp the initiative of the entire battlefield!

From here, you can see the gap in talent, if the on-site command was not a pillar but Liu Zhongwen, he would definitely not make such a mistake. Liu Zhongwen is the kind of person who is born for the battlefield, after several battles, Chu Fan found that he was quite sensitive to the balance of forces between the enemy and us, and he did not hesitate when it was time to be decisive - for Liu Zhongwen, winning the battle was the first priority, and he would never easily change his plan in order to shorten the rescue time.

It seems that the sentry officers of the pillar still need to go through a few more actual battles before they can be trained!

"Whoosh~~!"

The sound of sharp arrows breaking through the air drew Chu Fan's gaze back from the southeast, and he looked out of the wall, only to see that a hundred or so rebels were forming a team a hundred paces away, and it seemed that they were going to storm the small courtyard - the arrow just now was shot from this pile of chaotic soldiers.

Chu Fan didn't have time to think much about why the rebels suddenly changed their minds. After bending over and running around, he gathered nine members of the guard behind the wall facing the riot - there was nothing unusual outside the other two walls, so only one member of the team was left to keep an eye on them.

In groups of three or three, Lu Mi Gong began to exert his power - a hundred paces away from Lu Mi Gong was barely able to reach it, and after three rounds of gunfire, two rebels had already fallen to the ground.

Even if it's a hundred steps away. Chu Fan could also hear the loud curses of the rebels, as well as a familiar sharp voice shouting, "Brothers, attack the courtyard...... A head twenty taels of silver! …… Few of them ......."

In the intermittent shouting, the rebels began to move, first trotting forward under the bombardment of the Rummy Gun, and gradually increasing their pace when they reached about fifty paces, and the crossbowmen in the group also began to spread their bows and arrows, trying to suppress the guards at the head of the wall.

The number of guards is still too small. Although the nine Lumi guns killed and injured seven or eight people in the process, they could not stop the pace of more than 100 people running wildly.

And as the other party got closer, casualties began to appear on the wall - in addition to the team member who was hit in the eye socket, Doudou was also hit by an arrow in the shoulder, and another team member was shot in the arm!

The head of the wall was suppressed for a while, and when it was critical, Chu Fan looked out from between the bricks at the head of the wall, and saw that those chaotic soldiers were even more crazy. Screaming continued to speed up his pace.

It's close! It's closer!

In an instant, the chaotic soldiers at the front had already run within twenty paces!

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

On the walled wall of Ushijima. Xu Wanyun bit her fist, and the tears in her eyes kept flowing down.

On the beach three miles away, people have turned into small black spots, but Xu Wanyun can still identify who is a North Korean and who is a whistle.

When the whistle was swept to the ground by the swarming North Koreans, her heart tightened - she had already regarded Wang Xiaohu as her own brother. Seeing her brother being arrested, how could she not cry so much?

On the beach, all the North Koreans had already landed, and more than 300 people looked black and oppressive, which was terrifying.

At the gate of the walled city. Ling Ming had his back to the gate, and under his feet were dozens of Lumi guns hoarded on Niudao, as well as more than a hundred small cloth bags, all of which were filled with paper bullets; Behind him stood a dozen or so men, taking turns lighting a fire rope in a brazier.

"Brothers! Big brothers! Uncles! Ling Ming's voice was a little hoarse, "You have all seen it, it's not that the whistle can't beat those North Korean officers and soldiers, but it's a stuffy ...... Cough! I don't know what the hell he hit, but he was ...... like that. The North Koreans are not terrible, as long as we rush out now, we will definitely be able to knock them out into the sea! …… We have been working hard for a few months, and now we are just a little bit of a look, so you can really bear to give it to the North Koreans? ”

The more he spoke, the more emotional he became, and his eyes turned a little redβ€”he was almost dry in his saliva to persuade the craftsmen to fight, but there were still few responders, and most of them were cowering and retreating.

In fact, with Ling Ming being so good at observing words and feelings, he should have found the reason for these people's hesitation, but in an emergency, they had neither time to observe calmly nor be in the mood to ponder carefully, which caused Ling Ming and even Chen Shangren on the side to talk for a long time without getting to the point.

The reason why these craftsmen hesitated was exactly the same as that of the sullen people -- it would be a lie to say that they did not know the danger of their current situation, and it was even more wrong to say that they did not cherish their current life and work, and to say that they were more protective of the fruits of their labor than Ling Ming, how could they be willing to let the Koreans take them away?

But they have always been born, raised, and grown up in the hierarchical Ming society, and they have long been deeply engraved with the imprint of Confucian etiquette in their bones - the king law is greater than heaven in the hearts of these people, but a boulder that weighs heavily on their backs!

Shooting at officers and soldiers? What's the difference between that and rebellion? No matter how poor and miserable we are, we can be innocent and good citizens for generations! The innocent reputation of our ancestors is not daring to be ruined in our hands!

North Korean officers and soldiers? That's also officers and soldiers! It is also the officers and soldiers of our Ming Domain!

Seeing that these craftsmen didn't dare to go into battle, Ling Ming regretted that he only wanted to find a piece of tofu to kill - he knew that Stuffy Guy was so afraid of officers and soldiers, he shouldn't have let Stuffy Guy go to the beach alone with a whistle to face the battle! If he had personally commanded it, how would the Koreans have been able to get ashore!

Fortunately, the Koreans went ashore with little resistance, and it was getting dark, enough time for them to set up a camp in one night! Let them catch their breath, tomorrow the North Fort will fall! Even if there are no reinforcements, these 300 Korean soldiers can grind down the walled city!

What to do? What to do?!

Ling Ming wanted to grab his hair, the despair and fear in his heart were about to drive him crazy. (To be continued.) )
