Chapter 45: The Capture of Dinghai City (Part II)

Updated: 202-04-0

As soon as the gunshots rang out on Xiaofeng Ridge, Shao Can in the Dinghai City General Soldier's Mansion immediately woke up. He woke up from his bed, "Where's the gunshot?" ”

Goshha came in to report that there were gunshots in the direction of Xiaofeng Ridge in the west. Shao Can immediately ordered Chi Jiangong, the deputy general of Dinghai Town, to send a sentry to investigate.

Shao Can's sky seemed to be bright, and he couldn't sleep anyway, so he turned over and got up and got dressed. At this time, a rumbling cannon sound sounded in the south, and Shao Can hurriedly walked outside the door, seeing a flash of fire in the air in the south. After a while, the soldiers came to report that the Baoding Fort on Wukui Mountain outside Dinghai Port was subjected to continuous shelling, and thick smoke rose from the fort, and fires continued to rise.

At this moment, the "booming" cannon sound became louder, and the Dongyue Palace Mountain outside the south gate of Dinghai also ignited a sky-high fire.

"Zhenyuan Fort, this is Zhenyuan Fort burning." Shao Can was shocked, as if a large group of thieves had killed them, and they actually moved first.

"Dashuai, it's over. My two batteries are finished. Chi Jiangong was disheveled and staggered, "This is the power of Western cannons, and the foreigners are killing again." ”

"Where is the foreigner, your head was stunned by a cannon, and the imperial court is now negotiating with the foreigner to exterminate the bandits together." Shao Can rebuked sharply, "It's definitely an anti-thief, it's an anti-thief." They can't be allowed to take away the red boat. Spread Li Tingyu, quickly pass on Li Tingyu, the admiral of the Fujian Navy. ”

As he spoke, fierce gunfire rang out in the direction of Nanmen Port, and Shao Can immediately realized that the Fujian sailors on the red single boat had already caught fire with the anti-thieves.

"Quick, Chi Jiangong, you immediately send someone to guard the south gate, notify the four gates to be locked, and no one is allowed to enter or leave without an order." Shao Can thought to himself, no matter what three, seven and twenty-one, I will guard the four city gates first, not to win, but to be undefeated.

Shao Can suddenly thought about whether the soldiers in Dinghai Town had infiltrated the party members, and whether they would secretly open the city gate.

Thinking of this, Shao Can was in a cold sweat, and he jumped out of the room and shouted, "Lieutenant officer, lieutenant officer!" ”

The Chinese army in his own battalion did not know what was happening, and hurriedly ran over.

"You~~You~~" Shao Can's hands trembled, "You quickly gather the group to practice, send them all to the four city gate towers, cooperate with the guards, and tell them that they must be strictly guarded." ”

The gunshots outside the south gate were like a thousand firecrackers, crackling and crackling. Shao Can sat on the Taishi chair and was a little distracted, he seemed to have returned to the Yanhuai military camp. In the first half of the year, as the governor of Caoyun, he confronted the Twist Army, strictly defended Yanhuai, and escaped the catastrophe after nine deaths. Shao Can shook his head, calmed down, and said to himself, this is just a harassment by pirates, maybe it is to scare people with firecrackers, there is nothing to worry about.

Yes, there are 500 Fujian sailors on the red single boat who have been on the battlefield, and if the thieves dare to attack the head, they must have hit the iron plate. There are 500 sharp soldiers of the Fujian Navy Division in Dinghai City, as well as 3,000 regiments recruited by themselves, how can a little thief make a Caoyun governor and Zhejiang Governor of the regiment training minister frightened.

Thinking of this, Shao Can's tightly knit brows relaxed. At this time, Li Tingyu rushed in, "My lord, the five hundred brothers on the red single boat have already caught fire with the pirates. You quickly order to open the southern city gate, Vice General Han Jiamo is already in the whole team, and the sailors in the city are brave, and they can attack to support Wu Quanmei now. ”

"Okay, you go out of the south gate now, reinforce General Wu, and I'll go to the south city tower to cheer for you."

Li Tingyu rode a high-headed horse last night and led 500 proud soldiers into the city, looking high-spirited, and there was a great taste of exterminating the bandits and giving up who they were. At this time, he no longer had the elegance that he had just entered the city, and he became angry and corrupt. Twelve red single boats, the Jiangnan battalion is still counting on these red single boats to deal with Changmao, and destroying these ships is ruining their own future.

The street extends from the half-way pavilion outside the south gate to the seaside of the sea, and is a street market town that gradually rises because of the sea, because of the ship, and because of the shipping.

In the past few days, Dinghai City has been stationed in soldiers, and the common people are all careful for fear of getting into trouble. In these years, life is not easy, and the common people are not only afraid of foreigners, but also afraid of pirates, and also worried about soldiers and ruffians.

Early in the morning, I heard the rumbling sound of artillery outside, and the people in the streets of Shutou were all awakened. Hearing the sound of artillery outside, they only dared to hide in their homes and be careful to probe. When they arrived at Dongyue Palace, a sky-high fire broke out, and the people on the west side of Dongyue Palace all ran out at once. The Baoding Fort on the opposite side was smoky, and the Zhenyuan Fort on this side was blazing, and the people were all panicked. The two forts guarding the Dinghai Harbor were all blown up, which way of pirates did they kill, wouldn't it be a foreign hairy son again? At this time, there was a fierce gunfire on the pier, and the "crackling" sound was non-stop, as if it had exploded. After a while, the sound of the tweeter came, and the people heard it really earnestly, and the Ming King was coming.

"Run! The pirates are coming! ”

Now there is no Ming army, there are many long hairs on the mainland, and there are bandits on the sea. The people on the street were so frightened that they hurriedly helped the old and the young, and escaped from their homes with large bags and small bags. There was a fire in Dongyue Palace in the east, and many people walked west along the harbor path; But more people wanted to hide in the city to the south, so they gathered outside the moat of the south city, desperately calling the city, shouting to the city defenders to bravely send down the drawbridge and open the south gate. Many people can't wait to open the city and take a detour along the moat to the east gate and the west gate.

Outside the city, many people called out to the soldiers they knew by name, some begged bitterly, some scolded loudly, and some threatened and lured. It is all the people who are familiar with the streets of Jitou, and although the defenders of Dinghai have the intention to open the city and release the bridge, they are helpless.

"Go, go, go!" Yuyao's Tuan Yong had already taken over the defense of the South Gate, and they shouted loudly from the gate tower of Yuecheng, "Shangguan has an order to prohibit the opening of the city. ”

The four city gates of Dinghai are all arched with stone strips, the depth is about 0 meters, and the walls on both sides of the city gate are built with very thick city bricks, which makes the city gate appear more solid. There is also a moon city (also known as "urn city") outside the city gate, and there is a vacant lot between the two city gates, which is the place where the city guards and garrisons.

At this time, the brigade of the Fujian Navy Division killed in the Moon City. Shao Can took the Inspector Battalion and Li Tingyu, Chi Jiangong and others to the South Gate Yuecheng Tower to observe the enemy's situation. When it came to the chaos under the city, Li Tingyu gritted his teeth, "There must be bandits here!" Wait for the city to open later, and kill it. ”

After all, Shao Can is a Jinshi and the first, he has done the editing of the Hanlin Academy, and he has read several sage books. He shook his head, "Most people are still ordinary people, just drive them away." ”

"Stop arguing. The commander ordered that all the gates of the city should be locked, and no one should enter or leave. Chi Jiangong stood at the head of the city and shouted below, "You guys get out of the way and go east and west." Wait a minute, there's going to be war here. ”

The battle was about to start, and the people outside the city panicked, and many people turned around and ran east and west. There were also some people who did not want to leave, and still stood at the gate of the city and begged and waited for the door to open.

"Bang bang" The soldiers of the supervision battalion on the tower of the city fired two shots into the sky, and this time it was chaotic. The anxious and panicked crowd outside the South Gate Moon City suddenly exploded their nests, some yelled, some shouted, and some threw down the packages. After a while, there was no one on the moat and on the street.

The gate of the South Gate Moon City opened, and Han Jiamo led more than 500 sailors to bravely line up in formation, ran across the drawbridge on the moat, and ran in the direction of the head with a musket. As soon as they had run more than half a mile, they saw the coast guard appear at the halfway pavilion opposite and rushed towards them.

Han Jiamo hurriedly ordered the whole team to stop advancing and prepare to shoot. The sailor soldier Yonggang was just preparing to manipulate the musket. Coast Guard bullets flew over.

Chen Yu's eyes were quick, and when a large group of Qing soldiers appeared in front, his heart blossomed, and he immediately held the M6 rifle and shot over.

"Quick, everyone, don't panic, follow the shooting essentials, aim and then fight" Jiang Li hurriedly ordered the No. 1 boat to intersperse the alley to the west, and the No. 2 boat to intersperse the alley to the east.

The Coast Guard firepower was fierce, bullets flew like a torrential rain, and rows of water warriors fell to the ground. The Qing soldiers were immediately disorganized, they didn't care to shoot, like a tide, they retreated to the moat in an uproar.

Chi Jiangong has been guarding the city gate hole in Yuecheng, and as soon as the coast guard came up, he ordered the suspension bridge to be put away and the city gate closed. Although the Fujian Navy Division could not enter the city, their coast guard team did not pursue them, and their hearts were a little calm.

Li Tingyu stood on the tower of Yuecheng City, "Dashuai, let the brothers enter the city quickly." "The death and injury of his own people and horses, Li Tingyu is very anxious.

"Master Li, you hurry up and let Vice General Han resist it. To repel the thieves, I immediately ordered the opening of the city. "How dare Shao Can order the door to open now. He stood on the city very earnestly, the firepower of the anti-thieves was so fierce, the Fujian sailors were defeated in one look, in case the anti-thieves followed the rout and rushed into the city, it would be all over.

"Brothers, we are Fujian sailors, and we are the elite divisions of the imperial court." Han Jiamo didn't believe that the elite sailors he trained were so useless, and the little bandit pirates could bully them. He regrouped his ranks and rushed forward again.

At this time, the machine gun team on the opposite side had already followed, and Tan Ke organized personnel to set up the machine guns at the halfway pavilion five hundred meters away from the city. When he arrived in Fujian, Shui Yong was almost 100 meters away from him, and the machine gun "Da Da" rang out, and rows of bullets were fired wildly. The fierce Han Jiamo was also knocked to the ground, he lay on the ground and was a little depressed, thinking to himself what kind of musket this is, like a cannon, it was hit from such a distance.

The M240G machine gun was extremely powerful, and rows of bullets were fired around the ground one by one, and the bullets puffed into the bodies of the Qing soldiers.

Unexpectedly defeated by the bandits, Han Jiamo opened his eyes, raised his head to the sky, and took his last breath. No matter how fierce Han Jiamo is, he can't use his flesh and blood to fight against steel, and many Shui Yong fell in a pool of blood like him.

More than 500 water warriors attacked twice, and only a few dozen people were left who returned to the moat. Since the city gate could not enter, they just wanted to run along the moat to both sides, when "bang, bang" gunshots rang out, and the personnel in charge of the first and second boats in charge of outflanking were already in place.

All this outside the city gate, Shao Can is in his eyes. He was frightened and frightened, and hurriedly asked Chi Jiangong to go down to organize the blockade of the city gate, and ordered Chen Shizhong, the chief military officer of Wenzhou Town, to return to the camp to gather troops and be ready to reinforce the south gate at any time. At this moment, the screech of shelling came overhead.

Tan Ke asked the machine gun company to put all four guns up, "All of them...", a series of dull cannon sounds rang out, and mortar shells smashed like hail towards the South Gate Moon City Tower. Boom, boom, boom~~~ With the dense and violent explosion, huge fireballs rose in the city tower, and countless shrapnel rained out, and no one on the city tower was either dead or injured, and no one could stand up.

As soon as he climbed the gate tower of Yuecheng City and wanted to invite Shao Can, the governor of Caoyun and the minister of regimental training of Zhejiang, to dinner, the shells exploded in the city tower.

Miao Buying was knocked to the ground by the half of his body that was blown up from the left, which was Shao Can's half of his body. "Dashuai!" Miao Buying was almost stupid, he didn't know the pain at all, he was covered in blood, and he didn't know if it was splashed or his own injury. Several adults were blown up to a blur of flesh and blood, the Governor Battalion was almost wiped out, and the only remaining Qing soldiers forgot about their injuries and crawled down the city. When Miao Buying was covered in blood, sitting on the ground and muttering to himself, several people dragged and dragged Miao Buying off the city tower.

The coast guard rushed to the moat, and the Fujian Shui Yong, who was still alive outside the south gate, was disarmed amid the roar of "surrender or kill".
