5-3o Eight-Nation Alliance

Captain Van Persie walked back to the queue and said a few words to a few leading guys, and then saw the armed sailors slowly coming over, it seemed that the team was loose and unformed, but everyone's footsteps were very firm, and the strangely shaped weapons and various skin colors made this team look very strange, the soldiers of Suzhou Wei had never seen so many foreigners, and they couldn't help but feel a little worried, but the Red Shirt Regiment was well-informed, and many of them were not Chinese in the first place, so they naturally would not be timid about these soldiers.

Seeing that the sailors began to attack, the army of the Song Dynasty also started, the short natives wore the infantry armor of the standard infantry configuration of the Song Dynasty, holding thick-backed hand knives, the formation was obviously much neater than the sailors, it seemed that it was a trained and regularized army, when did such a group of armed forces come to the Song Dynasty expatriate community, this is the land of the Ming Dynasty, I really don't know how Cheng Liangjue, the governor, was the governor.

Liu Ziguang's strength lies in the strength of long-range lethality, he naturally will not put these enemies in front of him for hand-to-hand combat, seeing the ambush soldiers in the window of the house facing the street making a ready gesture, Anthony raised the command flag and waved it violently, and in an instant, a roar broke out in front of the neatly arranged musket team, and the smoke of gunpowder filled the air, covering the vision, and the small flag officer shouted at the top of his voice: "Change the gun!" Clean the chamber and reload! ”

The soldiers in the first row handed over the empty guns to the comrades behind them, took the loaded live guns against their shoulders for aiming, and waited for the officer's shooting order, while the soldiers in the back row were in strict accordance with the officer's command to clear the chamber and reload the action, the musket was equipped with the red shirt regiment for a short time, but because of its armor-piercing power and easy aiming, it has become the standard configuration of the infantry, Liu Ziguang knew that the future world would be the world of hot weapons, and he carried out strict training on the shooting skills of the musket group of his subordinates. Now they are fighting according to the Musketeer Drill Code written by Zhen Wubo himself. The reason for separating the steps of shooting and reloading is to increase the degree of shooting on the one hand, and to improve efficiency on the other hand, after all, soldiers standing in the first row directly facing the enemy will be nervous, and sometimes there will be multiple reloads without hitting.

The enemy on both sides was hit by lead bullets, and the people who walked in front fell to the ground screaming, compared to the loss of the Song army, the loss of the brigade Song army was less, after all, under the range of a stone's throw, the infantry armor still had a slight protective ability, seeing that the opponent's long-range fire attacked, the armed sailors roared and moved to charge, and ignored the wounded, one by one ran quickly, hoping to quickly meet the enemy hand-to-hand combat, at this time the ambushes on the houses on both sides began to shoot, they shot shotgun-type bazookas and fragmentation powder canisters, which were grenades in the original stateAlthough they have seen a lot of strong winds and waves, it is the first time to see such a powerful opponent, some people want to attack the house next to the road to eliminate the threat on the roof, these people were hit by the fierce Zhuge crossbow of the bazooka hands, the soldiers of the Red Shirt Regiment are all all-rounders, and there is more than one weapon on their bodies, daggers, knives, Zhuge crossbows, bazookas, three rockets, and two gunpowder canisters are the standard configuration of these firepower strike personnel.

The smoke dispersed quickly, and the second wave of musket shooting was carried out again with the officer's command, seeing that his family had the upper hand, the originally nervous Suzhou guard soldiers also cheered, and under the command of Li Qianhu, they took out their bows and arrows and shot them, regardless of whether he could shoot or not, just make a lively scene.

In fact, Liu Ziguang still has more powerful firearms that he did not take out, after all, this is the city of the Ming Dynasty, and it is not his own loss if it is broken, so he only uses some light weapons, and the Eight-Nation Coalition suffered such a blow, but did not immediately rout, but formed a small force, rushing straight along the eaves on both sides of the road, making it difficult for the firepower of the Red Shirt Regiment to be effectively wielded.

"Let the cavalry come out and wash the streets." Liu Ziguang sat firmly in his chair and said that the Eight-Nation Alliance also came with bows and arrows, and the feather arrows that flew by chance flew past him with a whistling whistle, and fell on the shield behind him with a clang, but he was still as steady as Mount Tai.

Anthony took out a cylinder, lit the twist on it with a lighter, and held it high, a stream of fire erupted, and a projectile rushed into the air and exploded, and the ribbon placed inside was like a goddess scattering flowers.

Seeing the cannon, the cavalry team of Zamuhe began to move, the cavalry holding long knives slammed the horse's belly, and countless horseshoes knocked on Shanghai's unique stone pavement with a crisp sound, although the empty streets were not as good as the endless grassland, but the advantage of the cavalry could still be displayed, and the pure infantry of the Eight-Nation Alliance could not resist the impact of the cavalry's devastating and decaying, and it collapsed in one shot, and scattered routs escaped.

"Advance in two directions and wipe out all the enemies!" Liu Ziguang got up from his chair,

He personally led a part of the soldiers to advance towards the side of the armed sailors, and Anthony led another part of the soldiers to kill the brigade Song army in the other direction.

The sailors suffered heavy casualties, some clever guys fled into the alley, and rushed back to the dock by detouring the path, some of the less smart ones knelt down and surrendered, and some of them resisted stubbornly, and those who surrendered were ordered to put down their weapons and lie on the ground for Li Peng's soldiers to contain, and all the stubborn ones were killed, and they all went all the way to the dock, and the trestle leading to the merchant ships at the dock had been blocked by the cavalry, and the remaining sailors were blocked on the dock, and there were interceptions in front and pursuers in the back, and several leaders of the sailors chirped and cooed in a democratic discussion for a while before deciding to surrender, and the foreigners were just graceful, The surrender is so handsome, this time it was still Captain Van Persie who came to negotiate, he slowly walked over with a slender sword carrying a snow-white silk handkerchief, and under the angry gaze of everyone, he slowly held his sword in both hands: "Your Excellency, merciful, please let us live, we are also bewitched by bad people to become enemies of you." ”

"Captain Fan, are your brains spinning fast, what did you do just now, you have to die a few times to be honest. Tell me how the bad guys trick you. Liu Ziguang said.

"It was His Excellency Governor Cheng who promised us that if we help him solve this crisis, in addition to paying us money, he also promised to exempt us from customs duties for five years, and we, the greedy sailors, agreed in a moment of confusion, if we knew that Your Excellency's force was so powerful, even if we were exempt from customs duties for ten years, we would not dare to be your enemy."

"You are still honest, this official spared your lives, but it is impossible to leave so easily, you are my prisoners, send someone back to let the people on your ship pay the ransom to receive people." Liu Ziguang made such a condition, turned the horse and left, and did not give Van Persie a chance to bargain at all. However, it seems that Van Persie didn't want to say anything, and bowed deeply to Liu Ziguang's back: "May God bless you, merciful Your Excellency." ”

Liu Ziguang left the troops to dispose of the prisoners, and brought a few guards to rush to the Song Dynasty settlement, the situation there is much more complicated than on the dock, most of the Song people are Han people, living in Shanghai for a long time, there are also their various business, diplomatic institutions, read in the same kind of text, the Ming Dynasty takes good care of them, all kinds of conditions are very favorable, Shanghai's Song people settlement area is like a small ** kingdom, and the concession is almost the same.

When I came to the periphery of the settlement, I saw that Anthony's men and horses had stopped attacking, and they were looking for cover to hide, and when they saw Liu Ziguang coming over, they hurriedly stepped forward to report the battle situation: "These brigades of Song barbarians are very powerful, retreat but not collapse, and there are a lot of strong bows and crossbows prepared on the fortress, and there are a lot of rolling logs and stones. ”

The Song Dynasty settlement area is a city within a city, although there is no city wall battlement, but there are still high walls, and there are not many weapons hidden behind the walls.

Strictly speaking, this kind of low-intensity fighting is nothing in the eyes of the Red Shirts, but now the Red Shirts have transformed into a semi-technical army, and those who can use weapons will never take human lives.

"Transfer the chariots, cannons, and airships, no matter who he is, as long as he does not surrender, he will be killed."

Liu Ziguang was a little annoyed and a little puzzled, there would be people from the Song Dynasty mixed in, could it be that Cheng Liangjue's communication was really so extensive? Can you mobilize so many people to work for him? Don't these people understand that no matter how powerful Cheng Liangjue is, he is just a feudal official.

"You stay here, and I'll go and level the governor's yamen." Taking advantage of the time to wait for heavy weapons, Liu Ziguang decided to arrest the culprit Cheng Liangjue, the slaughter-style battle just now, presumably the people of the Governor's Yamen have witnessed it, as long as they are still normal people, they will not choose to resist, Liu Ziguang took dozens of people to turn their horses and went to the Governor's Yamen. The governor's yamen and the governor's mansion are only separated by a wall, and Chen Ziang, who is hiding in the mansion, will be arrested later.

The streets were empty, Shanghai had never had such a large-scale battle, the people were scared stupid, hiding at home and not daring to come out, Liu Ziguang ran on the street, and suddenly saw a small group of people on the opposite side blocking the way. When I looked closely, it turned out to be a few people from the Song Dynasty wearing dark blue clothes, and they were old acquaintances.

"Zhao Kang, this official is kind enough to help you fight smugglers in the Song Dynasty, why do you help Cheng Liangjue, the smuggler's backstage? For the sake of our friendship, you quickly step down, and I will spare your life. ”

The people on the opposite side were the men and horses of the Song Navy, several of them were wearing dark blue woolen robes, with gold silk flowers on their shoulders, and a standard naval knife with gauntlets hanging from their waists, Zhao Kang's face was distorted, as if he was suffering great pain, and suddenly raised his halberd to point at Liu Ziguang and shouted: "As a soldier of the Great Song Dynasty, you must not tolerate the slaughter of your compatriots, you let the horse come." ”

Liu Ziguang reined in Ma Jian, and slid his right hand towards the leather holster on his waist, where there was a 64-style rifle pistol that had been broken with a hammer, and the lead bullet wrapped in four deerskins could easily take Zhao Kang's life.

The remnant sun is like blood, reflecting on Shanghai Tang, which seems to herald the coming bloody battle.
