"I must bring it, I must bring it to ......" Ying Xiecheng accompanied a smiling face, "Uncle Xiao, you don't have to be angry, he is a junior, the threshold is not fine, and he does things upside down, why should you be like him." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoIn fact, in the gang, many people do not agree with his approach, and feel that the ancestral rules are broken, and it will be difficult to speak in the incense hall in the future. But he is the governor, and he has the way to rejuvenate the Zhonghui, so we can't help it. ”

"I know, I can't blame you for this. Xiecheng, it's not easy for you to run once, don't be in a hurry to leave, stay here with me to eat. ”

As soon as Zhao Guanhou gave the order, the food was brought in outside. Although he is in the army, he emphasizes enjoyment, no loss in food, and brings a chef with the army. What was sent in was eight dishes and one soup, and the taste was very good. Ying Xiecheng is also not outside, he drinks wine and eats food when he has food.

Zhao Guanhou asked again: "You make a bag and inquire, your subordinates want to raise a group of ear reports, the funds must be very sufficient, and you will have a good life." ”

"Uncle Xiao joked, I'm a passing god of wealth, and I don't actually have much oil and water. The money of white-faced people comes and goes in the soup in the water, and there is nothing when it changes hands. Besides, the Shanghai army is an empty shelf, the funds are pitiful, and many times they issue their own printed military coupons, and that thing can be used for their own use, how can it be used well on the rivers and lakes? I'm running out of my old books myself. ”

Zhao Guanhou called Gao Sheng to give a few words, and after a short time, he took a red paper bag from the outside. Zhao Guanhou opened the paper bag, revealing the two gold bars inside, and handed it to Ying Xiecheng, "Take it, two yellow croakers, it can be regarded as a meeting gift." ”

"This ...... How embarrassing is that...... I don't dare to accept it. ”

"Everyone comes out to run the dock, it's cooler, and I'll accept it for you. I still have some things to ask you, so if you're done, take a look with me. ”

The two of them got out of the tent and walked around the barracks for a while, speaking in a very soft voice that outsiders could not hear clearly. In the end, I saw Zhao Guanhou pointing to Yuhuatai and Tianbaocheng, "Xiecheng, it's five o'clock in the afternoon, I want to say that before the sun comes out of the mountain tomorrow, take down these two positions, do you believe it or not?" ”

"This? Uncle, don't be kidding, okay? ”

"I'm not kidding, you will know when you look back, now I won't keep you, you go back to the city, wait until dawn to see the results. Let Chen Wuwei know if I'm cheating him! ”

Ying Xiecheng also heard about the combat effectiveness of the Lu army, and he did not think that this newly formed civilian army could defeat the Lu army. But he also didn't think that the Lu army could take Tianbaocheng and Yuhuatai overnight.

As an experiencer, he knows very well what a heavy price the civilian army has paid and how much time it has consumed in order to seize the two positions. The Lu army will take these two positions, but it will take at least half a month, one night? That's impossible.

He smiled, it is normal for people in the rivers and lakes to talk big. What's more, I drank wine just now, which is even more unbelievable. Therefore, he did not take Zhao Guanhou's words to heart. In short, the battle must be fought, and as a smart person, he naturally understands the truth that the farther away from the battlefield, the safer it is.

As soon as he left the barracks, he immediately rushed to Jiangning non-stop, and in his mind, in a short period of time, he completed the entire dialogue process of how he was righteous and strict, his lips were cracked, and his tongue was burned, and finally he maintained the dignity of the people's army. There is no shortage of details such as how you speak and where the other person is standing.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on his small team, Ying Xiecheng subconsciously took out the gold watch, looked at the time, and then smiled, "Uncle Xiao also likes to magnify cannons." At this time, how can it be possible to defeat Yuhuatai and Tianbao City, can it still fight at night? ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt the ground tremble slightly, a huge thunderclap rang out, and the mounted horse that stepped down hissed and stood up. Ying Xiecheng desperately controlled the mount while taking the time to turn his head to look. His mouth was wide open, as if he had seen a devil killed in hell, his face was like earth, and he muttered: Uncle Xiao, you really like magnifying cannons!

The one who was ordered to guard Tianbao City was originally the first infantry battalion under the jurisdiction of the Ninth Town, but after Zhu Duan's troops returned to Jiangning, Lin Shuqing pointed directly at Zhu Duantongjin and ordered him to be arrested. The Zhejiang army was unwilling to be captured, raised their guns to resist, and almost fired together. Xu Shaozhen finally relied on her own face to suppress this infighting, but Lin Shuqing also lost trust in the soldiers of the original Ninth Town.

For the defense of important locations, the troops were replaced, and Li Tiancai led two battalions of the vanguard of the Shanghai Army to replace the original troops and be responsible for the defense of Tianbao City and Dibao City. At the same time, the first battalion of the town army was ordered to take over the Yuhuatai position and withdraw the troops of the ninth town originally stationed here to the city.

Li Tiancai has been fighting horses for a long time, has served under Cen Yuying's subordinates, and is an old fighter, and he is very dissatisfied with this arrangement of replacing the defense army in battle. Moreover, when the troops set out, they only carried three days of supplies, and there was no follow-up, which was also taboo for soldiers.

The Ninth Town and the Town Army belong to the same lineage, and the Town Army was originally an association under the jurisdiction of the Ninth Town, but now it is self-reliant, sitting on an equal footing, and the officers are generally promoted by one level. The original sentry officer made a pipe band, and he was on an equal footing with his former superiors, which made the old pipe band of the ninth town very dissatisfied. When the two armies handed over the defensive line, it was quite unpleasant and frictional was great.

Ma Wenlong, the third battalion that originally guarded Yuhuatai, retreated to the city, scolding the mountain gate in his mouth, "White-eyed wolf, when you forgot to enter the army, who taught you to let go of the gun." I saw Lao Tzu today, I didn't even know how to salute, I really thought I was in charge, and you deserved it! ”

The guards around him also scolded: "No! Lin Shuqing forgot to be a bastard, and when he saw Zhen Shuai, he only called Gu Weng, as if the two were at the same level, and there were subordinates who had any bosses, and they were bastards! These bastards, let them defend, it's better to attack the fifth town and kill them all. ”

"Don't talk nonsense! No matter how much we scold, it's also our own people, and the fifth town is a Tartar soldier after all, and it can't be mixed up......"

Before the words landed, a burst of golden drums had already sounded loudly, and the third battalion in the city had not yet withdrawn to look back, but saw that under the setting sun, the Beiyang soldiers and the Yellow Dragon Banner all over the mountains and fields pressed up towards the Yuhuatai position. One artillery cannon after another, pulled by horses, rushed to the front of the formation, swinging in a line, and pouring shells into the positions of the people's army. The iron-blooded eighteen-star military flag, compared with the opponent's flag, looks extremely thin......

The guard said: "It's finally a change of defensive ground, if we are in the position, it will be bad to live here, pipe belt, let's hurry back to the city......"

Ma Wenlong raised his hand and slapped the past: "Bastard! What do you call that? Everyone is arguing and scolding, it's always our own people, do you watch outsiders beat our own people, and we have to run away if we don't help? Is that what people do? Looking at the situation, the Beiyang Army's offensive troops rarely said that there was a standard, and the town army had a small number of soldiers, so it could not withstand it at all. Tell me that everyone will come with me and help our own brothers! ”

"Long live the Together!"

I don't know who it was, shouted, the iron-blooded eighteen-star flag shook back and forth in his hand, and the soldiers who had already withdrawn from the position turned around and rushed to the position again to support. The same shouts can be heard everywhere in the mountains. Ma Wenlong pushed Lin Jiamu, the pipe belt that was connected to the defense, to the side

"When you joined the army, Lao Tzu taught you to put a gun, and today Lao Tzu taught you to defend your position. Everyone doesn't care about the establishment, everything under the eighteen-star flag is their own brother, resist it for me, fight with them! ”

The cannon rumbled, the howitzers whistled in the air, the artillerymen were experienced, and the timing of the shell explosion was very accurate, just over the position. Once the shrapnel is exploded, the shrapnel and steel balls, like the minions of the demon king, enjoy the feast of human flesh and blood.

Such artillery sounds and explosions are not just one or two counts, the Beiyang Army does not spare ammunition, and the roar of the god of war continues to be over the position, lasting for a long time. Let all the soldiers who lie on the ground to avoid shrapnel rise to despair.

The shelling finally came to an end, Lin Jiamu, the pipe belt of the town army, moved his body, made sure that he could still move, shook off the mud and sand on his body, struggled to sit up, and looked at Ma Wenlong who had already sat up next to him with some guilt, "Pipe band, it's my brother who dragged ......you down."

"What to say. Let's do it together, can we still say who dragged down whom? Watching you get eaten doesn't matter, that's not something the people of Ninth Town can do. We are unlucky, it is actually the famous martial madman Li Zongyun in the fifth town who attacked here, if we don't send reinforcements down, I'm afraid we won't be able to get out. I'm not afraid of death, I'm just afraid that if this position is lost, our Jiangning Jubaomen will be bad. ”

"Yes, this time I am probably going to explain here, I am really unwilling, I really want to go to the city again, eat lion's head and steamed pork once, go to the Qinhuai River, and eat a few boat dishes......"

"You kid, you're thinking about the boatgirl, aren't you?" Ma Wenlong laughed and glanced at Lin Jiamu playfully, "It's not a shame, I want to too." I have studied, but I studied in the barracks, and I can't compare with those famous talents, and those women don't look down on me, and they don't want to perfunctory me. Good food and drink, good women, they are all those big men, I am not reconciled. I was thinking, why? Why can't I eat and drink well and find a good girl? It wasn't until Zhao Guan brought me to talk about Ge Ming and ideals that I understood that only when Ge Ming smashed the old world could I live a good life and find a good woman. So I came out and fought with them Ge Ming, but unfortunately, Ge Ming just got a little better, and before he could do it, he caught up with the Beiyang soldiers. These guys are just amazing. ”

Lin Jiamu spat, "They have good guns and good guns, and they have foreigners to support them, which is not fair." has the ability to duel fairly, and we are not afraid of him. ”

Ma Wenlong unhurriedly pulled out the saber in his waist and wiped it with a knife cloth, "Don't worry, brother, the opportunity is coming." After the artillery fire is prepared, the infantry charges, followed by hand-to-hand combat. Tell the brethren to prepare their bayonets, our guns are inferior to men, this is no way. But if the courage is not as good as the person, then it is a loss for the adult. Kill one is enough, kill two to earn one, for the sake of unity, fight with them! ”

Although the establishment of the town army was large, the actual soldiers did not have time to replenish it. The Lin Jiamu battalion had only one infantry post and two platoons composed of temporarily recruited citizens, so in terms of combat effectiveness, it could only be regarded as a reinforced post. In terms of weaponry, due to Zhang Renjun's strict implementation of the imperial edict, the heavy artillery and gunners of the Ninth Town were transferred to the north, and in the Ninth Town, the artillery only had two-pounder guns, and the rifle was followed by the smoothbore gun, and there was no ammunition left in the hand.

After the recovery of Songjiang, although the rebel army captured the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, the stocks of weapons and ammunition in it were far less than imagined. Only except for a part of the smoothbore guns, there are only more than 1,500 homemade rifled guns, of which more than 30 percent have one fault or another, and there are few bullets left in the hand.

Although based on morality, Songjiang provided arms supplies to the Jiangning coalition army, but with the meager amount of capture, it naturally could not provide the needs of the army. Therefore, the equipment of the town army was the same as before the war, generally smoothbore guns, there were no heavy artillery, and only ammunition was more abundant than before the war.

In contrast, Li Zongyun's target is equipped with a large number of rifled guns, and the range of the rifle is longer than that of the Zhen army, and the accuracy is also high. At the same time, in order to attack Yuhuatai, Zhao Guanhou transferred an artillery battalion under the jurisdiction of the artillery standard to provide fire support. A platoon of twelve-pounder guns poured shrapnel on the Yuhuatai position, making these defenders pay a high price every moment.

Unlike ordinary people's impressions, Li Zongyun is not a reckless man, in fact, he is extremely cunning in war, and even Ryanstein greatly appreciates him. From the very beginning, he put on a posture of decisive battle, attracting the defenders of Yuhuatai to shoot with guns, but in fact, the troops played a lot of flags and drums, but the pace was not fast.

This way of thundering and raining down on the defenders, after deceiving the defenders' firepower allocation, they immediately carried out targeted suppression with heavy artillery. When it really launched an attack, the combat strength of the town army on the position was already seriously insufficient. However, its morale is still maintained at a high level.

Hearing the sound of the Beiyang Army's snare drums and bagpipes, Lin Jiamu jumped out of the position, shook the iron-blooded eighteen-star flag that had been damaged in many places by artillery fire, and shouted: "For the sake of unity, kill!" ”

In an instant, as if by magic, the scattered town troops who had been bombarded by artillery jumped out of the trench and raised their rifles. The next moment, bullets rained down!

The officers and soldiers of the Fifth Town, who have been trained by the Devil of Ryanstein, have a level of shooting that is enough to be proud of the whole country, and neither the rate of fire nor the accuracy of the town army can be compared. What's more, there is a gap in the weapons of the two sides.

The town army that jumped out of the position was baptized by the bullets of the fifth town. Ma Wenlong, who dominated the town with his bravery, had just raised his command knife, and before he could give an order, three bullets had already passed through his chest and lower abdomen. His body shook and he slammed backwards.

"Brother Ma!" Lin Jiamu handed over the flag to the flag bearer beside him, and jumped back into the position, but Ma Wenlong had already ignored it. The old boss, who was still talking and laughing together, turned into a corpse at this time, Lin Jiamu's eyes were sour at first, then hot, and finally only a piece of blood red.

He violently picked up the command knife left by Ma Wenlong, jumped out of the position and raised the knife before pointing "Brothers, come with me!" He immediately took the lead and took the lead in rushing to Li Zongyun's position, but he took the initiative to launch a counter-charge with weak troops.

The Fifth Town was not prepared for this, and was seized by the momentum of this impact, and the troops began to retreat, but Li Zongyun also untied the wind and discipline button, drew out the command knife, and slashed two people in a row. Shouted angrily: "Get out of the way!" No matter how ruthless they are, can they still be ruthless against the Tiele people? Even they are not afraid, are they still afraid of this group of Geming party? Greet them with a bullet in your hand! ”

Several rows of hand-left bullets were thrown and landed behind the town army, and a huge explosion sounded, and then the stumps and broken arms flew everywhere. A severed hand fell on Lin Jiamu's head, and he angrily took it off and threw it aside. only to find that the severed hand was still wearing a ring, which he knew, which belonged to his own biological brother.

"Bad seeds! I actually ran to the rear! Lin Jiamu muttered in his heart, then raised his war knife and rushed towards the Beiyang soldiers not far away. The latter had no time to reload, so he could only raise his rifle and knock away the opponent's knife, and then stabbed back with his gun.

The bayonets were sonorous, the white-knives were fighting, and the vanguard of the town army had already fought a white-knives battle with the Beiyang Army. The heroes of the south and the athletes of the north compete to stab the sharp bayonets into the chest of the other party. The cold blade is cold, and today is destined to drink the blood of heroes.

"Kill!" The knife in Li Zongyun's hand slashed down, and the opponent's saber was forced, but the person was chopped back several steps, but the latter was not cowardly, and immediately pounced on it fit. Li Zongyun also laughed loudly: "Happy! It's like an old man fighting. ”

While speaking, the other party's knife had already created a half-foot-long wound on his body, but Li Zongyun's knife was also colored on the other party's body. The blood and pain made Li Zongyun even more excited, and laughed: "Come on, come and kill me!" I'm Li Zongyun, the Li Zongyun who can't be killed! Immediately, the two got together again.

The third battalion of the ninth town was killed, and Lin Jiamu, the town military commander, was also killed in the white-knuckle combat half an hour later. Li Zongyun, the commander of the fifth town, was wounded, the first wave of attacks was not successful, and Yuhuatai was still under the control of the town army.

Sun Meiyao, who saw the battle report, was in a hurry, shaking Zhao Guanhou's arm, "Let me go, let me go, my cavalry can't come in vain, we have to show our faces!" ”

"Be honest for a while, don't be ugly, shake your arms and be coquettish, that's her specialty, you are an aunt, don't let children laugh."

Zhao Guanhou patted her hand to show reassurance, and said, "Don't worry, this Yuhuatai attack has been frustrated, and it is only temporary." The commander of the town army is gone, and it won't last long. Li Zongyun will be injured in every battle, and everyone is used to it. He doesn't attack now, he is controlling casualties, and besides, this guy has a very bad mind, he wants to use Yuhuatai to fish and eat a few more battalions of the defenders. After all, if you eat one of their battalions here, they will have one less battalion in Jiangning's city defense. You can't attack on your back, attacking mountains is not your forte, and my precious cavalry is not used to change to infantry, sooner or later there will be a time when you will show your face. ”

Albion's military correspondent, Rodley, excitedly lit the powder, took photos, and laughed: "This harvest will make my work on the best-selling list." The knight of the East has embarked on him again, and a new journey ......" (To be continued.) )
