Chapter 134: Piff's Counterattack (Part II)
In front of the cottage, more than 2,000 people had gathered at this time, standing in a neat queue in the open space of the crowded cottage, quietly waiting for Xuanbin's order.
"Take off your uniforms for me, do you want to be killed by the Wehrmacht outside the city? Only by giving up this military uniform will there be a new way out, and Longjiang Province will not be thrown into the hands of Fusang. Xuan Bin stood on the high platform and looked at the team below and said, "The general and I have been waiting for this opportunity all along, the general stayed in the city for this opportunity, and the Wehrmacht is waiting for us!" ”
Many of the people below cried out, they didn't think about the arrival of Wang Shi all the time, the people of Longjiang Province were too bitter, because of the geographical location, Longjiang Province was not only exploited and oppressed by Japanese and Russian merchants, but also by Xu Lanzhou's heavy taxes and exploitation by the landlord class. In addition, bandits and bandits are everywhere, and after they quit the army, they have to organize their own cottages to resist the bandits who come to fight the autumn wind.
"Boss Xuan, the nearest ones have basically arrived, and there are still many brothers on the way, and some distant brothers haven't had time to inform them, are you waiting for them??" The leader standing next to Xuan Bin looked at the team below and frowned, there were too few of these people, and they were not enough for people to stuff their teeth.
Xuan Bin waved his hand and said: "There are few people and it is not in the way, when we attack the city, we can watch from the back and participate occasionally, I have already prepared gifts for the National Defense Army, I believe they will like it very much." After the city is broken, we will first go to meet the brothers in the city, and then go to ambush the old thief Xu, who is afraid of death, he will definitely escape. ”
Half an hour later, Xuan Bin led a team of less than 3,000 people to pull carts and carts of things with horse-drawn carts and ox-carts, and a large number of soldiers carried some wooden ladders in twos and threes.
After Xuan Bin gave orders to take over the next things, he took more than 30 people and rode to Zhang Kai's base camp.
"Report to the commander, I found a cavalry of about thirty people in the northwest, they are dressed very strangely, a bit like bandits, they are rushing towards us, do you want to send cavalry to clear them out?" A scout said as he rushed into Zhang Kai's tent.
Zhang Kai immediately walked out of the hungry camp with binoculars, and said as he walked: "Whether it's bandits, bandits or whatever, as long as you still have brains, you won't come here at this time, maybe it's coming to us, you let people come forward to contact it, if it's a bandit who doesn't have long eyes, kill it directly, if it's not, bring it to me to see." ”
The scouts mounted their horses and rushed in the direction of Xuanbin with more than a hundred cavalry.
A few minutes later, the two sides met, and Zhang Kai's cavalry tightly circled Xuan Bin with the advantage of numbers, and Xuan Bin and the others stopped and let them surround them.
"Stop coming, the front is the important place of our army, and if you go one step further, you won't be killed! Tell us why you're here, or don't blame us for being ruthless! The lead scout captain shouted with a blank face.
Xuan Bin took a look at these cavalry and felt that they were too weak, if they wanted to rush out, they could do it in minutes, but he didn't do it, just shook his head and said: "The cavalry of the Wehrmacht is too weak, you are too tender!" ”
There was a burst of voices, and a hundred branches rushed to the heads of Xuan Bin and the others, "Don't talk nonsense, tell your purpose, otherwise this is your graveyard!" The captain said impatiently.
"We are here to meet your highest commander, and when we see him, we will naturally say please come!"
"No, who knows what your intentions are, if you let the enemy in, it will be worth it!" The cavalry captain did not dare to let them go to the commander like this.
Boom, more than a hundred cavalry rushed here, only to see a major rush to Xuan Bin and said: "Colonel Xuan, the commander of my family asked you to come forward and get together!" Then he waved his hand at the cavalry, and the cavalry made way for Xuanbin and them to pass.
"Hahaha, Brother Zhang didn't forget his little brother, it's a great honor!" After Xuan Bin came to the base camp, he jumped off the horse and gave Zhang Kai a bear hug, which made the soldiers next to him very nervous.
"Ahem, why did you kid run away to be a bandit, almost unrecognizable?" Zhang Kai looked at Xuanbin's dress and asked curiously. Xuan Bin immediately explained everything that had happened recently, and Zhang Kai understood.
Zhang Kai and Xuan Bin met when the empire was negotiating with the three eastern provinces, at that time they both followed their respective governors to Jilin to negotiate, Zhao Erxun cooperated with Xu Lanzhou, and the people below of course also went to drink two glasses from time to time, so they became good friends after going and becoming.
"If it happens, it is not difficult for you to enter the national defense force, it is estimated that many people will be eliminated, you have to be mentally prepared, my army will still be tested after the war, but all those who are not qualified will be brushed off."
Xuan Bin also told Zhang Kai some of his thoughts, and Zhang Kai is also half a person who has come over for this, so he can still give some advice.
"Come on, as soon as your climbing equipment arrives, you will start attacking the city immediately, and you will find a way to contact the brothers in the city to meet the inside and outside." With these siege tools, Zhang Kai was very happy in his heart, and after capturing Xuanbin here, they would definitely be able to enter the National Defense Army.
The two didn't have much politeness, they just exchanged pleasantries and went their own way, Zhang Kai was busy preparing to attack the city, and Xuan Bin was busy contacting the people in the city.
In the city, Yang Le kept listening to the reports of his subordinates, their people had already been arranged into the army on the city wall, and several large warehouses in the city where Xu Lanzhou stored arms and grain were also discovered, and they would blow them up as soon as the time came.
"Boss Yang, Chief Xuan, we found Chief Xuan, they brought a brother to join General Zhang Kai outside the city, and there are a large number of tools to climb the city, he sent a message to everyone not to be nervous, and wait for the actual maturity to give Xu Lao Thief a fatal blow." One person ran in and said excitedly.
"It's still Lao Xuanqi, who is a little bit higher, and he can see so far, I guess the general has seen it too! Go back to his message and say that we will get the timing right. Yang Le also had to admire Xuanbin's foresight at this time.
In the Governor's Mansion, an officer rushed into Xu Lanzhou's study and drew Xu Lanzhou, who was coming to practice calligraphy, on the table in shock.
"Governor, no! There was a bandit team that brought a large number of siege equipment to the enemy army outside the city, and the enemy army was ready to enter the city on a large scale! ”
"What, what bastard dares to be an enemy, I will never let them go! Immediately let people prepare to fight back, and they must not be allowed to climb the city wall! Xu Lanzhou shouted fiercely as soon as he still dropped his brush.
The officer wiped his sweat and ran out, faster than when he came. Soon, the rebel armies in the city began to climb the city walls, and the people arranged by Yang Le were also transferred to Ying'en Gate to confront the imperial army head-on.
Zhang Kai, who had the equipment to climb the city, soon launched a fierce attack on Longjiang City, and it was no longer taboo for cannonballs to fly into the city, and the people near the city wall had already moved away from there after the previous shelling.
"Boom...... The sound of "boom" was deafening, and both sides were constantly bombarding each other, each occupying certain advantages and disadvantages.
On the city wall, there is a group of soldiers who are very special, their bullets are either missed or shot at the foot of the wall, and they are very "afraid of death" to avoid the enemy's bullets.
"You're from that unit? You want to fucking die, don't you? Give me a good beating, and watch out for your skin! An officer raised his long whip and swung it down to hit the soldiers beside him.
The soldier behind the officer took out a few taels of silver and secretly put it in the officer's pocket, and said with a smile: "Sir, these are all recruits' eggs, mixed food, wait for me to teach them well!" ”
The officer touched his pocket and said with great satisfaction: "Yes, you are very promising, teach them well, it is shameful to waste bullets!" With that, he left.
"Disguise yourself a little better, ruin the plan, and you still have the face to meet the old general?"
The crowd soon disguised themselves again, and it was no longer so obvious, and from time to time they hit the enemy, so that the officers who were secretly watching them believed that they were newcomers.
