"Military ...... Army? Can you see clearly? The official asked, in a choked voice. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"I see clearly, my lord, it's the army, there should be thousands of people." The soldier on the wall confirmed, if he wasn't sure before, he was sure now, because the army on the opposite side was only a kilometer or so away from the city gate at most.

Even if you can't see the appearance of those soldiers clearly, but they are all black and oppressive, and they are all holding weapons in their hands, if you can't see that the other party is an army, then you won't be used to guard the city gate.

"Close the gates!" The officer commanded tremblingly, apparently knowing a little more than the ordinary soldiers.

After all, Shouyang is a traffic artery, whether it is the Shanxi army out of Jin or back to Jin, merchants and tourists in and out of Jin, most people still choose to pass through Shouyang.

And so many outsiders have entered Shouyang, which has caused the news spread speed in Shouyang area to be much higher than that of other counties.

Some time ago, the nephew of the county commander came back and said that the Han army stationed a large number of troops in Yangquan, which also frightened the Shouyang County Commander, but he was a county commander after all, so he abandoned the city and fled, if he wanted to come back, it would be impossible.

So, the county commander asked his nephew to continue to go to Yangquan in the east to inquire about the news, but the nephew of the county commander who was in charge of finding out the news had not returned, but a large number of troops appeared outside Shouyang City.

Where is the city located? What are you kidding, this kind of stupid approach is not suitable for a petty official like him, and when he encounters this kind of thing, it is better to run away as soon as possible.

After all, they have heard rumors outside, it is said that every time the Han army occupies a city, the people will come out to identify those officials who have committed crimes.

"You are holding them down here, and I will go to the county office to tell the county lord about this matter. Remember, if they attack the city, tell them that the Lord of the County will come soon to welcome the army into the city, so that they can rest easy. The officer commanded the soldiers stationed at the gates.

After giving these instructions, the official did not go to the location of the county office, but went directly to the west gate through the path in the city.

And there has been no news of the Han army coming to the city, so everything is as usual. On the grounds that the elders in the family were seriously ill, the official left Shouyang directly from the West City Gate.

And the departure of this official also made the officials on the side of the West City Gate suspicious, and immediately secretly fled from Shouyang together.

After learning the news that the Han army was assembled in Yangquan, many officials in Shouyang City have transferred their family and belongings to the countryside outside the city, and once there is something in the city, they will immediately go back and flee with their families, after all, staying is only a dead end for them.

The escaped officials were only a small fraction of the guards at the gates, and most of them were still in the city in fear.

Outside the east gate, the troops of the two battalions of the 301st Regiment stopped five hundred meters away from the city wall, and two heavy machine guns were directly erected here, and the muzzles of the black holes were aimed at the defenders on the city wall.

"Captain! Something doesn't seem right, how does it feel like there's no one on the wall? The commander of the 2nd Battalion of the 301st Regiment, Sugimoto Mountain, looked at the city wall not far away, and said with a slight doubt in his heart.

"There's something wrong, in the past, even if the enemy was on guard when we attacked the city, we could still see people on the city wall, but now the city wall is empty, this is not like the style of the Qing army." Regiment Commander Peng Yu nodded, and disguised the city as if there were no defenders to lure the enemy, this tactic they had also learned and tested, but no matter how it was deployed, someone would always show their bodies, unless they didn't move.

Even a well-trained Han army could not do this, so the untrained Qing army, and even more so a garrison force, could not do so.

"A platoon of soldiers with explosives bags went up and shouted, telling them to open the city gate and surrender, and if no one responded, they would blow up the city gate directly." Peng Yu ordered directly.

Obviously, Peng Yu did not think that this was a tactic of the Qing army. Of course, in other words, if they had this kind of brain, then the invasion of the Eight-Nation Coalition three years ago would not have been like that.

"Lao Qin, your squad will go up with explosives and shout, and if no one responds, blow up the city gates." An officer walked up to an old soldier and commanded him.

Lao Qin nodded, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, lit a beautiful one, and took a puff.

This is the armament material distributed by the Han army, at the beginning, it was not accepted by the soldiers, first, they felt that this kind of cigarette was boring, far less refreshing than the dry smoke. One was afraid that this thing would make them opium.

What about high salaries? I can't stand you from smoking opium. However, as time went by, they found that the cigarettes distributed by the army seemed to be different from those outside, and although they sometimes had addictions, they did not want opium to be as harmful to the body, so more and more people accepted them.

"Silly Qiang, Old Hat, Rabbit, you three have explosives on your back and the cat is behind." Lao Qin commanded to the soldiers beside him, and soon, the three named soldiers took the three explosives bags from the other fighters.

"The team is scattered, look more when you go, as long as the other party shoots, immediately get up, the heavy machine gun in the back will return fire, don't take the lead if it's okay." Lao Qin said to the soldiers of his class again.

"Don't worry, squad leader, although we haven't been on the battlefield, we can be regarded as old fritters, aren't we? It's no problem to deal with a poorly trained unit like the Qing army. He replied with a smirk.

'Smack! ’

Lao Qin slapped Silly Qiang on the back of the head, but he didn't use much force.

And Silly Qiang seems to be used to this kind of treatment, and he is not angry, still smiling stupidly.

"This is the battlefield, the bullets don't have eyes, whether you train the elite or not, I have seen more than the soldiers you can have, don't they die on the battlefield?" Lao Qin reprimanded with a stern face.

"Let's go!"

Lao Qin didn't explain too much, everything that should be reminded has been reminded, and the rest have also been trained in the usual training, if anyone is really shot and killed, it can only be said that he is an unlucky person, no wonder others.

A squad of twelve soldiers opened up the formation, and each soldier was separated by a distance of at least three meters, which was not too far, and they could take care of each other when they encountered something, and it was not too close, even if the person in front of them was shot, they could dodge it in time.

The only thing that made Lao Qin a little unhappy was that the terrain here was too heartwarming to be suitable for a large army to fight at all, twelve soldiers and six soldiers walked separately in the fields on both sides of the road, and the remaining five people walked on the road to attract the enemy's attention.

In any case, they at least guaranteed the safety of the explosive package.

Although the geographical location of Shouyang is extremely important, it did not build a moat because of its geography, which is good news for the attacking troops.

Lao Qin walked at the front of the line, staring around with his eyes, his head like a rattle, constantly swaying from side to side.

It's so quiet.

And this kind of quietness made Lao Qin have to raise his vigilance. Generally speaking, there are only two possibilities for such a situation on the battlefield, either there are no defenders here, or the enemy has carefully prepared a trap for them.

After about three minutes or so, Lao Qin's class finally approached the city gate.

The closed gates were so quiet that they were a little scary, and there was no sound, and the twelve soldiers could even hear their own heartbeats.

At this moment, the twelve soldiers did not have the previous relaxation, and one by one they had to stare around.

Lao Qin waved his hand at the soldiers on both sides, and the six soldiers understood, and quietly continued to push forward.

In about twenty seconds or so, six soldiers with three explosive packs had arrived at the gate hole, where they would not be able to be hit even if the enemy began to counterattack.

"Is there really no one?" Old Qin muttered in a low voice.

However, no matter whether there is anyone or not, Lao Qin can't relax his vigilance, and at the same time, he has to save the ammunition in his hand as much as possible, after all, when he arrives here, it is not so easy to replenish it.

Lao Qin took four soldiers to hide behind a few big trees, and glanced at a soldier, who understood, and immediately shouted to the city tower twenty meters away: "Listen to the people in the city, we are the army of the imperial court, and we are ordered to take over Shouyang, please open the city gate immediately and welcome the army into the city." ”

The soldier shouted three times in a row, but there was still no response from the city wall, which made Lao Qin start to suspect that there seemed to be no defenders in the city at all.

He didn't want to waste time, so he hid his body tightly, and shouted to the six soldiers in the city gate: "Blow up the city gate!" ”

After receiving Lao Qin's order, the three soldiers carrying the explosive bag on their backs quickly placed the explosive bag in front of the city gate, leaned it against the city gate, and then disassembled a two-meter-long lead.

After the three of them were ready, the three soldiers in charge of covering quickly left the city gate hole, but they did not return to Lao Qin's location, but ran along the city wall to both sides, just hiding about twenty meters away from the city gate hole by sticking to the city wall.

Seeing that the three soldiers covering were already in place, Silly Qiang nodded to the other two, and the three of them took out the fire fold from their arms, igniting the three fuses almost at the same time.

In the next moment, the three of them showed the troops behind them what it meant to run for their lives and what it meant to race against death.

Although the Han army's explosives pack lead has been improved, it is a lead composed of gunpowder after all, and the speed of burning cannot be too slow, and the two-meter-long lead will only burn in about six seconds at most.

The explosives pack is not too powerful, so when used alone, this time is enough to escape. But who made it all three of them work together this time? If they don't run away, even if the explosives package can't blow them up, the impact of the explosion can make them uncomfortable for a while.

At the same time, the troops behind also began to charge, they had been observing the situation in front, and when Lao Qin ordered people to blow up the city gate at the same time, Shanyuanshan behind ordered the whole battalion to charge.

'......Boom'

With a loud bang, the gate of Shouyang East City collapsed. To be exact, it should be three, but these three loud noises came out almost at the same time, and even the stupid three people who lit the explosive bag did not hear three sounds.
