Chapter Seventy-Seven: Playing Majestic in Suzhou City (3)
After the whole army gathered, Li Yongji stood in front of the whole army as usual, turned on the hidden microphone and synchronous loudspeaker, and let the soldier who had been whipped by the president before come to him and started his battle show.
"Soldier, what's your name?"
"Report chief, my name is Zhu Ziqiang!"
"Very well, let me ask you, what's the matter with the wound on your face?"
"Hit by a mad dog."
"Why did the mad dog hit you?"
"Because he trespassed into the barracks, I stopped him and didn't let him go, and he beat me unless he broke in."
"Well, so do you think you're doing something wrong?"
"I'm on military duty, there's nothing wrong with that!"
"Well, well said!" Li Yongji raised his voice, "If someone breaks into the barracks next time, he is a bigger official, and if he wants to beat you or even threaten to kill you, will you stop him?" ”
"It's my duty!" The soldier named Zhu Ziqiang also raised his voice, "I am a glorious soldier of the Elite Army, and it is my duty to carry out orders!" There is no military order, anyone who trespasses into the camp of our elite army will be warned for the first time, arrested for the second time, and those who resist arrest will be killed! ”
"Good!" Li Yongji nodded secretly, quite satisfied with the soldier's answer.
In fact, the lines of these answers were arranged in advance, and they were also matched in advance, but this soldier named Zhu Ziqiang was not stage frightened when he was on the scene, and he could enter the play so quickly.
Promising, promising!
Thinking of this, Li Yongji turned his head to face the soldiers and said loudly: "Soldiers, let me tell you the truth, what did we come all the way to Suzhou for?" It is to help the fathers and villagers in Suzhou, to fight against long-haired bandits, and to return a peaceful paradise here. But what did we get in exchange for our enthusiasm? In exchange for the other party's shameless greed and plunder! ”
After a pause, Li Yongji continued to say loudly: "I'm here to tell you what happened before!" Just now, there was a general manager named Zhang Shude, who led his soldiers to break into my camp gate without communicating with me in advance, and my soldiers stopped him, so he whipped this loyal soldier. Who gave him so much power? is a defeated general named Zhang Yuliang!
That Zhang Shude, relying on the verbal orders of this defeated general, forced his way into my camp gate, and after being escorted in front of me, I saw that everyone was a colleague, and kindly loosened his bonds, but he was ashamed to speak up, and said in my camp that he would take over the command of my Jingwu Army, and wanted to turn the Jingwu Army into his Zhang Yuliang's private soldiers.
I didn't agree, this Zhang Shude actually wanted to use his strength in public, and wanted to arrest me as a hostage in my camp, but fortunately, my guards were clever and didn't let the other party succeed!
He stabbed me in my tent! Actually took me hostage! You say, 'Can we swallow this breath of shame?' ”
"Can't!" Zhu Ziqiang yelled first.
Immediately after, the other soldiers also shouted "no", which gradually became louder, and gradually changed from scattered to uniform.
When Li Yongji waved his hand, the roar of the soldiers gradually stopped, and then Li Yongji continued to say loudly: "Very good, worthy of being a soldier of my elite army, what I want is such a spirit that is not afraid of heaven and earth!" ”
After a pause, Li Yongji continued to say loudly: "People respect me for a foot, I respect people, but if anyone dares to bully us, we must double it back!"
Now, since that bastard surnamed Zhang dares to bully me like this, we must get justice back! Come on, bring it! ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw Zhang Shude, who was wearing the costume of Mr. Qian, being pushed over by the five flowers, with a cloth in his mouth, looking at everyone in horror, and his mouth kept whining.
Soon, this Zhang Shude was forced to kneel in front of the Jingwu Army, and then Li Yongji took a Colt revolver, walked all the way to Zhang Shude, who was escorted to the ground and couldn't move, and shouted in front of everyone in the Jingwu Army: "This is that Zhang Qianzong, so majestic, so evil!" Everyone open their eyes and see, now, I am going to get my first justice! ”
After speaking, Li Yongji put the gun on Zhang Shude's head and pulled the trigger without hesitation.
Bang!
With this gunshot, Zhang Shude, who was wearing an official uniform, turned into a corpse and fell to the ground with a plop.
After killing people, Li Yongji casually raised his gun and continued to shout: "Now I order, the whole army will attack, the target, the Fengmen camp!"
This time, we are going to find the mastermind behind the scenes, and go to the guy named Zhang Yuliang to seek justice! If he doesn't give us a satisfactory explanation, then he won't give up! ”
"I won't give up!" This time, it was Zhu Ziqiang who yelled first.
Immediately afterwards, there was a tsunami-like "vow not to give up" sounded.
After everyone shouted three times in a row and swore not to give up, Li Yongji waved his hand, and an urgent drum sounded, which was the prelude to the "Hunting March", indicating that the whole army would attack.
As this march sounded, the troops that had been assembled long ago began to walk out of the camp gate in turn under the leadership of the ministers, and walked towards the gate.
The first to go out of the camp was the infantry, and each infantry regiment took the company as the basic unit, lined up one square formation after another, and then each unit walked out of the camp gate one after another according to the posture of a long snake formation, accompanied by the "Hunting March".
After the infantry walked out of the camp gate, they immediately followed the previous drill, gradually changed their formation during the march, and slowly unfolded one after another three-row horizontal formations with platoons as the basic unit.
As the troops advanced, and with the addition of subsequent infantry, the horizontal line became larger and larger, gradually pulling apart a wide line of infantry groups.
After the width of the entire infantry array was wider than the city wall, the horizontal column stopped expanding to both sides, and the subsequent infantry horizontal team followed behind the infantry column in front, gradually thickening this large infantry phalanx.
Each infantry phalanx is a standard infantry company, in which the three infantry platoons are in three columns, with the platoon as a unit of horizontal deployment, other teams such as fire squad, cooking squad, company commander and other teams in the middle of the three infantry platoons to the back, in the music of the "Hunting March", with the rhythm of the whole team step by step.
In the company, there are special flag guards, the first flag guards will play a red company flag at the front of the troops, and the other flag guards carry portable amplifier amplifiers, and then the flag guards at the head walk in front, and the flag guards next to them keep playing the "Hunting March" while walking, that is to say, the flag guards also work part-time in the military band.
This large phalanx of infantry in a company unit continued to move forward according to a certain distance, and gradually connected together, forming a whole row of spectacular horizontal arrays, followed by the same infantry wing phalanx, forming a loose phalanx.
From the city gate tower not far away, this large phalanx composed of small phalanxes looks loose, but it is extremely tight, and the distance between them is not far or close, which is not only convenient for their own movement, but also can watch and help each other, and it is a large array that can be attacked and defended.
Not to mention anything else, this single march shows that this unit is a strictly trained force, and it is definitely not a rabble.
As soon as the other party left, the Qing army guards on the gate were scared half to death, and they didn't dare to come out, so they could only stay on the city gate, watching this army play unhurriedly.
Soon, the large phalanx of infantry, which was slightly wider than the width of the city wall, stopped about 600 meters away from the city wall, and although it stopped, the soldiers still stood still with their rifles, as if they were fine-tuning the formation, and of course, the slightly strange military music did not stop.
The distance of 600 meters is just the edge of the effective firing distance of the city wall artillery, and as for the bow and arrow, it is even more impossible to shoot that far.
The infantry carrying foreign guns unhurriedly adjusted their formation under the noses of the guards at the gate, and after about a quarter of an hour, the infantry at the front suddenly stopped and stood still.
Immediately afterwards, an artillery unit gradually appeared in the middle of the city gate, which made the guards of the city gate feel terrible, and the artillery unit also stood and waited after aiming its artillery at the city wall.
After that, two groups of cavalry on tall horses suddenly burst out and began to stand on the flanks of the large phalanx of infantry.
This team of cavalry is naturally Li Yongji and his guard battalion.
Li Yongji came to the front and back of the battle, and began to use the megaphone to shout loudly to the city gate, the content is naturally that he was kind enough to help Suzhou, and he was actually treated unfairly, you actually wanted to snatch military power, and you were almost murdered by the Qian Zong you sent in your own tent!
Speaking of which, Li Yongji also asked Gong Debiao and others to come over and shout into the microphone one by one, and what they said was naturally a good rhetoric in advance.
In the mouths of Gong Debiao and others, it is said that Zhang Shude, the general manager of Qian, gave orders to them in advance, saying that this mission was arranged by Admiral Zhang Yuliang himself, saying how to seize power, how to say good things first, and if he doesn't listen, he will take people, and then in the camp tent, how Zhang Shude saw that Li Yongji was young, so he suddenly attacked and almost killed Li Yongji on the spot.
After Gong Debiao finished speaking, others also came up to testify, all of them were similar rhetoric, all saying that this time it was Zhang Shude who was ordered by Zhang Yuliang to seize the power of the Jingwu Army, and the soft ones did not kill people, saying that as long as Li Yongji was killed, the Jingwu Army would be in their pockets and the like.
In short, this time, those Qing soldiers were all talking about it, and they were all saying that this was Zhang Shude's private action, and they kept saying that they were on Zhang Yuliang's orders.
Obviously, these Qing soldiers are willing to say this, all thanks to Zhou Da. That Zhou Dayi threatened to turn them all into eunuchs, and then they saw with their own eyes how Zhang Shude was killed, and now, there are still people with guns pointing at them behind their backs, so naturally they don't dare to disobey.
Of course, it's not all about scare, Li Yongji agreed, as long as they are willing to cooperate, this time the matter is over, I promise not to hurt their lives, and I will give them a lot of money.
Coercion and temptation, this group of Qing soldiers who followed Zhang Shude naturally had no reason to disobey.
As a result, when these more than 40 Qing soldiers all appeared together to speak, not only the soldiers of the Jingwu Army were indignant, but even the Qing soldiers on the gate felt very ashamed, and they all felt that this thing was true, and it was too inauthentic.
After those Qing soldiers testified, Li Yongji followed and took the megaphone and said loudly: "Listen to the people in the city, this is a personal grudge, I just want Zhang Yuliang's dog mongrel to come out and kneel down to apologize to me, otherwise, don't blame us for being polite!" ”
After speaking, Li Yongji waved his hand, and the artillery that had been prepared long ago began to fire with a bang.
These artillery guns were all Napoleonic guns, using large elevation angles, using high-explosive shells with a stable tail, and the target was a distance of about 100 meters in front of the gate.
In other words, this time the cannon did not really hit the city gate, but to scare and intimidate.
To tell the truth, after being equipped with 81 mm mortars, the Napoleon cannon is a bit of a chicken rib, after all, it is not comparable to the 81 mm mortar in terms of range and rate of fire, and there is no advantage at all in terms of weight, the reason why it has not been eliminated is that there is no better siege gun for the time being, and the Napoleon gun is just a direct fire gun or a practice gun.
However, the caliber of the improved Napoleonic gun is 117 mm after all, and the appearance is more bluffing, this time 18 guns were fired at the same time, and they were still loaded with ** high-explosive shells, and immediately blew up a hundred meters in front of the gate.
The 18 artillery pieces continued to fire for half an hour, until the 100 meters in front of the gate were scorched black, and then Li Yongji ordered the shelling to stop.
To do this, the discerning people know what it means, because with the intensity of the kind of artillery bombardment just now, if it is not hit in the open space, but on the city wall or the city gate tower, then the gate here will be unstoppable, and the entire city gate tower will definitely be smashed open by the fierce artillery fire, and the Qing soldiers on the city wall will not survive nine times out of ten.
"Listen, people in the city, I'll give you another half hour!" Li Yongji continued to roar, "Half an hour later, if Zhang Yuliang, a coward, doesn't come out to give us an explanation, I will really order the siege of the city!" I advise all the brothers on the city tower to disperse early, this is a personal grudge, and it has nothing to do with you! When the time comes, the cannonballs won't be long-sighted, and the jade will be burned, don't blame me! ”
