Chapter 898 Arrogance
Because of the limited number of troops, the company that came in a hurry did not surround the entire Wangjiazhuang.
Besides, the wealth accumulated by the Wang family for several generations is basically in Wangjiazhuang, and he is reluctant to give up such a huge industry in any way......
Besides, even if he escapes, it won't have any impact on the Haw Par Army!
The reason why the Haw Par Army took this opportunity to eliminate him was, on the one hand, for the stability of Henan and to take Henan completely into their own hands. On the other hand, it is for the huge property of the Wang family and the huge land controlled by the Wang family.
As long as he left his land and property, it didn't matter if he ran away. Because, after losing wealth and land, the Wang family lost the capital to compete with the Haw Par Army.
So, as soon as they came up, they found a city wall that was most suitable for attacking.
About a hundred paces from the city wall, stand ready and pose as if you could attack at any moment......
As for the Wangjiazhuang, when they first heard that the tiger and leopard army was coming, the Wang family was still in a panic.
However, when they saw that the Haw Par Army attacking them had only come with less than 200 people, the panic that enveloped Wangjiazhuang was immediately covered with composure and confidence.
In Wangjiazhuang, whether it was the head of the Wang family who was appointed by the imperial court as the training envoy of the Zhengliupin regiment, or the five hundred regiments under his command, he had never really seen the strong combat effectiveness of the Tiger and Leopard Army.
Although there are many rumors about how strong the combat power is, rumors are rumors after all. No matter how strong the fighting power of the Tiger and Leopard Army is, he is also flesh and blood. Coupled with the walls around Wangjiazhuang, no matter how you fight, you can inflict heavy casualties on the attacking troops of the Haw Par Army, or even destroy them......
It was confirmed that the Haw Par attacking force had less than 200 men. And there was no follow-up after the troops. A mocking smile appeared directly on the face of the Wang family. Facing the deputy envoy of the regimental training beside him. He is also the original head of the nursing home. Said confidently.
"The Haw Par Army also underestimated the old man's regimental training...... Since they look down on the old man, the old man will teach you a good lesson today, so that you know the price of underestimating the enemy......"
"General Zhou, the five hundred regiment training officers will be handed over, and there are more than 100 tiger and leopard troops outside the village, you have to leave at least half of the old man......"
Being able to go from a family thug to becoming the deputy envoy of the Zhengqipin regiment recognized by the imperial court, for Zhou Wu. It's something I can't imagine in my life.
Therefore, from the time the court appointed the documents in hand, Zhou Wu was full of gratitude to the head of the family. It is certain that at this time, even if Zhou Wu is allowed to die directly, Zhou Wu's brows will not wrinkle more, let alone fight against the Tiger and Leopard Army......
Just when Zhou Wu was running around the city wall with a serious face, arranging defenses.
The Zhuangwai Haw Par Army seems to be ready to attack.
A musketeer, walking alone thirty paces from the city wall, shouted to Wangjiazhuang in his loudest voice. Demand that Wangjiazhuang surrender.
There is no doubt that the Wang family, who has put all his future and net worth on the imperial court. There was not the slightest hint of wanting to surrender.
Seeing that shouting was useless, the company commander, who looked unhappy, directly gave the order to attack.
However, even so, the commander of the first company did not pay much attention to this attack.
In the eyes of the company commander, regimental training is regimental training, and no matter how strong the combat effectiveness is, it is a rabble. As long as he passes through the artillery fire, the regimental training that was still very arrogant just now will definitely be frightened and flee for his life, and he will not dare to continue to stay on the city wall at all.
Therefore, as soon as they came up, the three mortars equipped by the company fired 30 flowering shells at the head of the city a hundred paces away.
Although less than twenty of these flowering shells eventually smashed into the city and exploded.
However, the intense recreation of these twenty flowering bombs still enveloped the entire city.
As soon as the artillery attack ended, the company commander, who was confident in the attack, did not hesitate to give the order to attack.
A platoon of musketeers, holding grenades tightly, quickly leaned towards the city, ready to blow open the city gate with grenades and further eliminate the remaining regimental training at the head of the city.
The remaining two platoons, very skillfully lined up in a musket formation, firing row after row of lead bullets at the head of the city, covering a row of dozens of musketeers, and rushing into the city gate as safely as possible.
On the head of the city, which was still completely shrouded in gunsmoke, when it was first hit by artillery fire, the 500 regimental training was indeed taken aback, and dozens of regimental training were lost in a short period of time.
However, under the promise of Zhou Wu's rich reward and settling-in expenses, they all fled from the city wall after losing hundreds of people in a row, and nested at the foot of the city wall to wait for the end of the artillery attack.
As for Zhou Wu, the deputy envoy of the regimental training, his confident expression was still full of arrogance just now, but at this moment, he was already covered with solemnity.
No one, including him, expected that the Haw Par Army, which had more than 100 people, was equipped with three artillery pieces that could fire flowering shells.
Although they were also equipped with ten guns, they could only hit a hundred paces away when firing solid shells. And the solid shells did not have any lethality at all for the scattered Haw Par Army.
Therefore, the appearance of the Haw Par Army artillery cast a thick shadow on the deputy envoy's face subconsciously.
Of course, all these thoughts are fleeting.
Although the strength of the Haw Par Army far surpasses itself, there are so many people after all, and there are walls to rely on. As long as you figure it out on your own, you can still defeat the other party.
As a result, the artillery attack of the Tiger and Leopard Army had just ended, and the remaining 300 people of the regimental training returned to the city head that was completely shrouded by the pungent and leisurely amidst the shouting and scolding of Zhou Wu.
Ten gates were arranged at the head of the city, and five of them were fortunately preserved.
With the lead bullets flying over his head and no way to get up and fight back, Zhou Wu wanted to defeat the attack of the Tiger and Leopard Army, and there was only one last way left, which was to bombard the ...... with Franc machine artillery
When dozens of Haw Par musketeers outside the city rushed to less than thirty paces away from the city wall without any losses, all of them had a thick smile on their faces, believing that victory was already beckoning to them.
As a result, the little caution that was left of the dozens of musketeers disappeared at this moment.
Just when they thought that the next attack was just going through the motions and there would be no surprises.
In the quiet of the city, suddenly a string of cannons sounded.
Then, the muzzles of the five Franco-machine guns on the chop of the city spewed out five flames mixed with a large amount of black smoke.
The dozens of musketeers with shocked faces felt a very strong force sweeping towards them before they could react.
Then, like a torrential rain, buckshot at them, shooting one bloody hole after another in their bodies. (To be continued......)
