After reading the letter and the cannon a mile away, the two pipe bands also showed a visceral look of shock on their faces. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

I don't know how long it took, but the infantry battalion pipe band first reacted from the shock. Facing Luo Wenshan, he asked with a weak face: "My lord, the bandits have cannons, and they also have the support of the Japanese...... What should we do next, please come out with a full intention immediately...... Bandits, bandits don't have much time left for us......"

To the disappointment of the two pipe bands, they did not see any hope and solution in the face of Rowan Mountain.

Because, after knowing that Yangjiazhai was equipped with artillery and that there was Japanese support behind it, Luo Wenshan's heart was in turmoil.

Therefore, in the face of the problem of the infantry battalion pipe belt, he did not have any clue at all. In this case, he could only ask with a helpless face.

"Wang Guandao, you say, what should we do next...... You are a veteran in the army, there must be a way to ......"

didn't let Luo Wenshan wait too long, and the infantry battalion commander replied with a solemn face: "The barracks can't stay...... Last night, with only five shells, we lost more than 100 soldiers. If the bandits give us ten more shells tonight, then our patrol battalion will be finished......"

Luo Wenshan's brows furrowed, and he responded with the same solemn face: "What do you mean is that if the remaining brothers of our patrol battalion want to return to Anshan County alive, they can only do what the bandits say, give up all the grain, grass, baggage and equipment and horses, and withdraw to Anshan County under the supervision of the bandits......"

To Luo Wenshan's surprise, as soon as he finished speaking, he was strongly opposed by the cavalry battalion management band.

"No...... My lord, we must not do this......"

"Let's not talk about whether the bandits will keep their promises, after we give up our horses and equipment, they really won't attack us and let us go back to Anshan County. Even if we succeed in returning to Anshan County, how can we explain to the imperial court......

"A bandit was not eliminated, and he suffered heavy losses, even his horses and weapons were lost...... When the time comes, not to mention too much, one charge of financing bandits will be enough to send the three of us to the guillotine......"

"The remaining 200 brothers of the patrol battalion survived, but our lives were gone......"

Greed for life and fear of death is the common characteristic of most civil and military officials in this era, and the one commander and two pipe bands in front of him are no exception.

Therefore, when Luo Wenshan heard that he would be guillotined even if he went back, he had already vetoed the idea of talking to bandits and retreating very decisively.

The infantry battalion management belt also seemed to realize that this method was not good for him, and spoke after him......

"My lord, if you don't do what the bandits' letter says, there is another way here to save our patrol battalion from defeat......

"The last general just took a look, and there were not many bandits protecting the cannon a mile away, less than a hundred. And the intelligence also said that the bandits in Yangjiazhai will only go up and down next time...... And we, with more than 230 people, 50 fast guns, 100 singles and muskets. If you make up your mind to leave the barracks and attack the bandits' artillery positions a mile away, you will fight to the death with the bandits......"

"With the current strength of our patrol battalion, we will definitely be able to defeat them and capture the artillery they are equipped with...... It's just that in this way, the remaining 200 or so brothers in the patrol battalion will not survive too many in the end, and even the entire army may be wiped out......"

At this time, it was still the cavalry battalion commander who took the lead and said, "My lord, the last general thinks this method is feasible...... As long as we can defeat the bandits, the court will have nothing to do with us. If we can snatch back the cannons equipped by the bandits, the court will probably reward us. As for the soldiers who have been lost, as long as we are okay, we can replenish them from among the people at any time.

In Luo Wenshan's view, no matter how many ordinary soldiers' lives are compared to their own lives.

Therefore, after the cavalry battalion management said that he was playing, Luo Wenshan opened his mouth and decided......

"Okay, then we'll do it...... With the lives of hundreds of soldiers in the patrol battalion, fight the bandits in Yangjiazhai, fight a decisive battle with the bandits, and defeat them......"

Luo Wenshan, the commander of the patrol battalion, made up his mind, and with the strong support of the two pipe belts, the patrol battalion, which had always been slow, was running very effectively like a war machine at this moment.

An hour to cook in a pot, half an hour to eat, half an hour to organize equipment, and prepare for the attack......

From dawn, it took only two hours for the gate of the patrol battalion barracks to be opened.

In addition to more than a dozen wounded and sick people who continued to stay in the barracks and guard the supplies and war horses, more than 200 people, including Luo Wenshan, the commander of the patrol battalion, all drove out of the barracks and pressed towards the artillery position a mile away.

Soon, the mighty patrol battalion officers and soldiers entered Yang Xingguo's field of vision.

Blocking the trench dozens of meters in front of the wooden cannon, Yang Xingguo was looking at the officers and soldiers of the patrol battalion who were getting closer and closer to him with a hot face.

As for Wang Hu beside him, after the shock and surprise just now, at this moment, facing the patrol camp that was close at hand, he showed a worried expression from the bottom of his heart.

The patrol battalion was driven out of the barracks by the big boss's strategy, which is indeed what Wang Hu wants to see the most.

However, when more than 200 officers and soldiers of the patrol battalion appeared in front of him, Wang Hu began to worry about the recruits around him again.

The training time of these recruits around me is too short, and they have not learned anything other than aiming at the target and firing the gun.

Wang Hu was very worried that these recruits around him would be directly frightened into the collapse of the battlefield under the attack of the patrol battalion...... Can you still calmly aim at the target and shoot the bullet in the chamber like you did during training?

You know, the patrol battalion that is rushing towards you is not unarmed.

They were armed not only with muskets and old rifles, but also with fifty fast guns.

On the battlefield, even if the bullets fired by these weapons are not too accurate, the blind cat can cause a lot of casualties to the recruits around them who can't even hide.

Wang Hu didn't know if the remaining recruits still had the courage to continue fighting in the face of death after the recruits suffered casualties on the battlefield.

Yang Xingguo, who was on the side, knew very well what Wang Hu was worried about.

After patting Wang Hu on the shoulder, he comforted with confidence: "Second master, don't worry, we have more than ten sharpshooters." With them there, I promise that we will not allow officers and soldiers armed with fast guns to approach our positions and kill or wound our recruits......"

"Of course, if there is a new recruit who is killed or wounded, he must be carried down as soon as possible, so as not to affect the morale of other recruits......"

"There are not many officers and soldiers in the patrol battalion who can use fast guns, and they are all the elite of the patrol battalion, and if one dies, there will be one less. As long as we kill and injure more officers and men of the patrol battalion equipped with fast guns, the remaining fast gunners will be frightened and afraid, and will not dare to continue to rush forward......"

"Therefore, the officers and soldiers of the patrol battalion equipped with fast guns were handed over to a dozen sharpshooters in the cottage to solve. As for the rest, it was handed over to two combat platoons...... If there is a possibility that the enemy will rush in front of us, it will be when we will make a move with the two deputy platoon commanders. ”

"The whole cottage is just a few of us equipped with pistols suitable for melee combat. Two Mauser pistols, two revolvers, and in a short period of time, there is still no problem in eliminating more than a dozen officers and soldiers who broke through our position......"
