Tang Shoubei handed the telescope to Wang Hui with trembling hands, and said tremblingly: "Your Excellency, please watch it yourself." ”

Wang Hui glanced at Tang Shoubei in surprise and took the binoculars, and what caught his eye was four hundred neatly arranged bird soldiers on two lucky ships.

Wang Hui's heart sank, and at this moment, he saw through the telescope bursts of gunsmoke rising in front of the bird soldiers standing in the first column, and suddenly heard bursts of "tom", "tom", "tom" and "tom" bird striking, and then heard a burst of miserable howls among the officers and men of his own naval division.

Wang Hui was riding on a war horse, and through the binoculars, he could see that the battle jackets of many officers and men of the naval division were quickly soaked with blood, and some of the wounded officers and soldiers had hideous expressions and fell to the ground howling loudly.

Wang Hui shuddered, quickly put down the binoculars, stabilized his mind, looked up again in the direction of the impact of the officers and soldiers of the Navy Division, and saw that the queue of more than 500 people in the Navy Division Battalion in the distance began to become scattered.

From the telescope, I saw that the leading sailor battalion commander was always injured by a bird's gun, and at this time he had been carried to the open space behind by his subordinates, and the officers and men of the sailor battalion who had lost their command were like headless flies, crowded and refused to rush forward.

Wang Hui's face was pale, and he had high hopes for the officers and soldiers of the Navy Division, thinking that they could easily defeat the bandit and his men on the opposite side.

"No, we must exterminate this bandit leader and his subordinates before the chaos in Dengzhou City comes, and take the sailor warship into their hands!" Wang Hui was secretly ruthless in his heart.

Tang Shoubei said ruthlessly on the side: "My lord, the Pingdu Prefecture Xun Camp is openly against the officers and soldiers, and there is no doubt that it is in chaos with Kong Youde. ”

Wang Hui said hatefully: "It is obvious to all that the square and the rebels are in trouble. The official will report to the court. But at this time, the key is how to pass through the blockade of the opponent's bird soldiers and seize the aquatic gate of Shuicheng! ”

Slightly hesitant. said to Tang Shoubei: "Tang Shoubei, you go to replace President Liu." Ordered the officers and men of the Naval Division to continue the assault, as long as they quickly passed through the firing range of those bird-gunners, the bird-gunned soldiers could not pose a threat. ”

As he spoke, he turned his head and instructed the guards beside him: "Wang Gang, you immediately go to the south gate of Shuicheng to find Fang Guard, and ask him to quickly mobilize five hundred archers, and five hundred rattan players will immediately come to the Shuishi camp to listen to the dispatch." ”

The guards behind him agreed and urged the horse to gallop in the direction of the south gate.

Wang Hui turned his head and saw that Tang Shoubei was still rubbing, and his face turned pale: "What else is wrong with Tang Shoubei?" Didn't you hear the officer's orders? ”

Strictly speaking, this Tang garrison is not under the jurisdiction of Haiphong Dao, but the lifeblood of the survival of the sailor is in the hands of this Haiphong Dao. Invisibly, Haiphong Dao became the de facto top boss of the sailor, and Tang Garrison and other officials of the sailor had to be forced to obey orders.

Tang Shoubei said with a sad face: "My lord, the firearms of the other party's bird soldiers are powerful, and the officers and soldiers of our naval division are not prepared, it is better to wait until the archers arrive to suppress them, and then the officers and soldiers of our naval division will attack." ”

Wang Hui was anxious in his heart, and he didn't care about maintaining his image, so he opened his mouth and scolded: "Presumptuous, when will it be your turn to point fingers at this official!" The officers mobilized the archers for the purpose of controlling the Shui Shengmen after the officers and soldiers of the Sailor Division. Turn around and shoot the opposing birdman. If you look at the scene, the ice has been basically broken at this time, and by the time the archers arrived, the thieves would have blasted the ice open. Sail the ship away from the water city, and you and I will regret it at that time. Now immediately step forward and lead the officers and soldiers of the Sailor Division to storm the Aquatic Gate......"

……

Cheng Yousheng and more than 20 subordinates stared at the officers and soldiers of the Navy Division rushing from the southwest side. I saw the officers and soldiers of the sailor waving the weapons in their hands to the beat of the drum, shouting to speed up their advance. Cheng Yousheng and more than 20 others felt tightness in their chests, and their breathing became more and more rapid.

There was no one on the commander's side to come to support, no one to deliver the news, and no movement on the warship.

It seems that in the face of the officers and soldiers of the naval division ten times their own, they can only rely on themselves and more than 20 brothers under them! Cheng Yousheng thought nervously.

He turned his head to look at the guards around him, and saw that although everyone was nervous, no one showed cowardice.

This alone made Cheng Yousheng feel excited, there was no pustule in the pro-guard camp!

Cheng Yousheng took a few deep breaths, calmed himself down angrily, and hissed: "Shuicheng Aquatic Gate is related to the survival of the commander and everyone, and it must not be lost from the hands of our guard battalion, we people must fight to the death to defend the Shui Sheng Gate, and we must not embarrass the guard battalion, can the brothers do it!" ”

The guards who followed Feng Jian were all elites selected from the Zhenshan Camp, and they all understood the meaning of Cheng Yousheng's words.

Yan Gui, the general manager of the pro-guard battalion, said: "Brother Cheng, don't worry, as long as there is one person in our pro-guard battalion, the officers and soldiers of the Navy Division will not be allowed to board the gate of Shuicheng." ”

As soon as he said this, he suddenly heard several cannon sounds in succession.

Cheng Yousheng and the others hurriedly looked to the southwest side, only to see a burst of gunpowder smoke coming out of several Franc machine guns on the naval division's warship, and the cannons roared and fell down more than ten zhang in front of the officers and men of the naval division, and some of the cannons fell directly in front of the officers and soldiers of the naval division.

The cannon that landed on the ground turned the snow on the ground into snow mist and began to fly all over the sky, followed by several miserable howls from the officers and men of the naval division, apparently hit by the flying cannon.

When the snow and fog fell, I saw that the unmelted snow had been dyed dark red, and more than a dozen injured people covered their injured parts and screamed uncontrollably.

The officers and men of the sailors who were not affected stopped their steps and looked at the warships in the distance in horror, although they could not see the position of the guns clearly, but the guns on board were sure that they were aimed at this area.

The guns on the ships were clearly a warning, and if the officers and men of the naval division attacked the gate of Shuicheng again, the pair would pour artillery fire on them mercilessly.

Cheng Yousheng and the others watched this unexpected scene, and their nervousness was suddenly relieved.

Cheng Yousheng said with excitement in his voice: "I have long expected that the commander will not let our brothers in the guard battalion sacrifice in vain, and there must be a countermeasure." A few artillery pieces frightened the officers and men of these naval divisions, and as long as the artillery on the warships fired a few more times, the officers and men of these naval divisions would inevitably flee. ”

Cheng Yousheng's words eased the nervousness of the more than 20 people around him, and a personal guard exhaled: "From the current point of view, the officers and soldiers of this naval division on the southwest side do not have the courage to continue to attack. ”

Yan Gui took a breath and said to Cheng Yousheng: "My subordinates just heard the sound of the birds on the southeast side and kept making noises, and now there is no movement, presumably the officers and soldiers of the naval division here have been suppressed by the birds!" ”

Cheng Yousheng nodded and said: "Damn, these timid officers and soldiers have been scared for a long time, but they are all embroidered pillows, and they can't withstand the blow at all." ”

Yan Gui stared at the officers and soldiers of the naval division who were deterred by artillery in the distance, and said, "Brother Cheng, look, that naval commander always seems to be scolding his subordinates, is he going to attack again!" ”

Cheng Yousheng stared at it, nodded and said: "Yes, I think these officers and soldiers are really a little dishonest, it's best that the gunners on our warships can give them a few more cannons......"

Before he finished speaking, he heard several cannon shots from the warship, and the cannons instantly flew to the front of the officers and men of the sailor division who were about to move, and this artillery firing was no longer a warning, and after the artillery was fired, a large number of officers and men in the queue fell to the ground and screamed.

The officers and men of the naval division fought on land, and their combat effectiveness and willpower were probably slightly stronger and limited than those of ordinary people, and in the face of such a situation in which they could only be beaten and could not fight back, the commander of the naval division also seemed panicked, and he was deeply afraid that the officers and men would be in chaos.

He stood in the queue and shouted hoarsely, telling the officers and soldiers who were not injured to retreat, but fortunately, the officers and men of more than 500 people still obeyed the order and rushed to the road in a panic, leaving only a few dozen people injured by artillery fire at the scene.

Being bombarded by the artillery of their own warships was a greater psychological blow than a physical blow to the officers and men of the more than 500 naval divisions. Many of the sailors who retreated were either hysterically shouting about storming the ships or were terrified and asked to go back and ask for reinforcements.

The sailor general did not care about treating the injured who fell to the ground, and hurriedly separated from more than a dozen of his henchmen to appease and persuade the officers and soldiers, and finally calmed down the emotions of the officers and soldiers.

At this time, the Navy Division arranged for some officers and men of the Navy Division to carry the officers and men of the Navy Division who were wounded by the artillery to the rear.

After such a long delay, some of the wounded soldiers in the field died from excessive bleeding.

In this era, there was no surgery, and the only way to die was to be hit by a cannon, and of course the few people who were injured in their arms, legs and feet could survive as long as the wounds were not infected.

In the queue, the sailor stared at the opposite warship with great apprehension, and the artillery on the warship was eyeing the enemy, and the officers and soldiers under his command no longer had the courage to take a step beyond the thunder pool! But he can't lead the officers and soldiers of the Navy Division to retreat, it's really a dilemma!

Cheng Yousheng was completely relaxed at this time, he pointed to the officers and soldiers on the opposite side and said to Yan Gui and the others: "The officers and soldiers on the opposite side are already frightened, and they must have lost the idea of coming to attack the city gate, as long as there are a few more ammunition at this time, they will definitely collapse!" Now we only need to guard against the officers and men of the naval division on the southeast side......"

As if catering to Cheng Yousheng's words, the frightened officers and soldiers of the Navy Division once again fell in front of the scattered cannons, and the crowd once again let out a hoarse howl.

A moment later, the uninjured officers and men of the sailor rushed to the rear like a swarm, leaving the commander of the sailor to shout and shout.

Yan Gui jokingly said to Cheng Yousheng: "It is worthy of Cheng Dazui, the ending of the officers and soldiers on the other side was unfortunately said by you!" ”

At this time, twenty gunpowder bag explosions sounded one after another on the surface of the water of the Sailor Division, and after the smoke of gunpowder, the deafening cheers of the soldiers on each warship were suddenly heard.

Yan Gui pointed to the water surface of the sailor's camp and said excitedly: "Brother Cheng, look, the ice has been completely blown up!" ”

"Great, as long as this area outside the Water City is blown up, all the warships of the Navy Battalion can sail away from this place! Hey, why are the soldiers on the water who were responsible for igniting the gunpowder packs gone? ”

Cheng Yousheng was a little puzzled, and then said with a happy face: "It turns out that the sailor warship has been activated, and it seems that it is preparing to bombard the ice outside the water gate with artillery!" ”！！ (To be continued......)
