The sound of rifle gunfire rang out rhythmically in the docks of the warehouse. They are all veterans who can enter the guard regiment, and their psychological and military qualities are absolutely excellent. Once the gunshots rang out, it was basically a sharp burst, and then there was only the screams and groans of the Ottomans.

It's just that if you break the sky, there are only two squads, more than 20 rifles, how can you withstand the impact of more than 1,000 people? If it weren't for the wharf, because of some precautions before, a road was set up directly in the loading channel, and a few iron houses similar to security booths were installed.

The soldiers of those two squads dragged a few tin kiosks to the middle, and relied on the salvo of grenades and more than two dozen rifles to drag the thousand Ottomans for a quarter of an hour. But even if there is a little cover, it is basically impossible to stop, because the grenades are almost consumed, and the rifle alone, and not the bursting assault rifle, really can't suppress the Ottomans who rushed down from the galleys. The soldiers of these two squads wanted to retreat, but they also knew that they could not retreat, and only when they were entangled, they felt a blazing wind coming!

"Boom!" A large flame burned on the tin pavilion, but I don't know when, the Ottomans went to remove the trebuchets that threw Greek fire from the battleship, and it was obvious that they could not see that the iron pavilions in the middle would not be able to enter the city without smashing them open.

?“ I order, retreat immediately! At this moment, Qian Chujiu's voice sounded outside, and the soldiers guarding the iron pavilion hesitated. No one wants to die, and even those who can go to death calmly. Most don't want to be roasted alive, do they? Greek fire was the original incendiary bomb, roughly mixed with rubber and oil. It sticks to the tin pavilion and burns, not to mention whether it can be burned through, there is absolutely no doubt that the people inside will stay any longer and be fried to death.

But they are Ding Yi's soldiers, and they have their own pride and honor.

This honor makes them suffer and are reluctant to retreat, but it does not mean that they enjoy it.

So when Qian Chujiu, who was carrying a few guards, he roared: "Grenade!" After throwing a few grenades and knocking down twenty or thirty Ottoman soldiers who were about to rush up, he said to the soldiers of the two squads again, "Soldiers! Obey orders! Retreat now! The soldiers of these two squads withdrew from the still burning tin pavilions.

Because they were originally sent by Ding Yi and commanded by Qian Chujiu. The latter is their direct superior, so it is not an unacceptable thing to obey his orders. In the process of evacuation, Qian Chujiu commanded them again and smashed several cargo boxes directly. After running for a few more steps, Qian Chujiu made an unbelievable request: "Carry me on your back!" I command you to carry me! Young Master Ben is not lazy, but has leg cramps! Hurry up, the boss won't leave this young master alone! Then the old man asked, what are you going to say? said that he had thrown down the chief officer. Do you run for your life? ”

At this time, Ding Yi, the "boss" in Qian Chujiu's mouth, was actually under siege.

It's just that Ding's situation is more troublesome than Qian Chujiu's, because Qian Chujiu can still run away or shoot desperately. Ding Yi had a hard time killing people. For he was surrounded by the inhabitants of the city of Smyrna. They demanded that Ding Yi open the passage to leave, whether on land or at sea.

"陛xià. As you said earlier, we are all free people. The civilians of Smyrna said to Ding Yi. Then we are free to leave the city. Right? If not, then what kind of freedmen are they? The people on the side chimed in.

There were about a thousand people surrounding Ding Yi.

The shadow of war hung over the city, and they had a deep-seated fear of the Ottomans, who could not even believe that there was anyone who could face the Ottomans without defeat - at least in Smyrna, where they thought it could not happen.

Therefore, all resistance, in their opinion, will be converted into massacres after the destruction of the city.

Yes, the fiercer the resistance, the more terrible the retaliation after the city was broken.

They didn't want to stay in the city and become one of the people who would be angry with the Ottomans when the city was destroyed.

When someone took the lead, they began to secretly plan how to escape from the city, and just when they were about to escape, they bumped into Ding Yi, leading the three squads, preparing to go to the port to reinforce Ding Yi of Qian Chujiu. I don't know who shouted: "Isn't this a promise that we will become free people?" The tone was sarcastic, "Didn't you say they wouldn't abandon us?" Why do you have to run to the pier now? Where are you going, our great majesty? ”

So, these people who wanted to escape from the city blocked Ding Yi.

"Of course you are free people, I promised you." Ding Yi pressed the guard who was going to draw his gun, and killing can solve many problems, but not the problem at hand. These people are the people of Smyrna, they have family, they have friends, and just killing them like this will only cause more panic and more distrust.

"Then we're leaving!" "Yes, we are free, then we have the right to leave!" The thousand people roared one after another, as if Ding Yi had choked their fate by the throat to suffocate them, to make them die. It seems that only by making a voice can he save himself from the fate of being tortured and killed by the Ottomans.

Ding Yi laughed, he took the tin horn handed by the guard, and asked the people, "Please tell me, who gave you freedom?" Well, you remember. That's right, I gave you the promise of freedom, and I gave you freedom in the name of the Roman Emperor! ”

"But you must know that if there is no Roman Empire, then you have no freedom."

"The Roman Empire used to be thousands of miles away, but now it is in ashes, and when it comes to me, there is only a purple robe and a sword. And Smyrna is the only city in the Roman Empire now! We have no way back, citizens, Rome once had thousands of miles, and now it is the only one. ”

"Without Smyrna, you will no longer be citizens of Rome, and your destiny will be to become slaves."

"I believe you know better than I how the Ottomans treated slaves."

"It seems that the Ottomans did not intend to take prisoners, and not only did they bring in urban cannons, but they also attacked from the sea."

"You can leave, you have no way to escape."

"Will you leave Smyrna now and be killed like a dog by the Ottomans, or will you follow me and fight until the last moment for freedom and Rome?"

"I still have that promise, I will not give up on you, as long as you don't give up on me."

At this time, some people asked: "So, what are you doing at the dock?" ”

"You can come with you if you wish, but follow my men's orders, and your lives may be in danger! There are Ottomans landing on the docks, I must go and expel them, or they will flood the city, rape your sisters, and kill your children! ”

"Is that what you want to see? If so, you can continue to block here! ”

The people dispersed in silence, not knowing if they were frightened by the urban cannon or if Ding Yi had aroused their conscience.

However, Ding Yi has no time to discuss this.

Ding Yi frowned, he didn't expect to stay here for so long: "Move faster, there are only two classes in the ninth junior high school, I'm afraid it will be difficult to hold on!" ”

At this time, Qian Chujiu had already been carried by the 20 or so soldiers in turn, all the way to the newly renovated entry checkpoint. The firepower hand who threw Qian Chujiu off his shoulder asked sullenly, "Qian Shizuo, are you here to fight, or are you here to be amused?" ”

However, Qian Chujiu ignored him, leaned on the bamboo and cement wall at the entry gate, and looked around: "What about the big cannibal?" What about the Great Cannibal? You know you're scared, right? Don't you dare to chase after you, do you? Then he turned back triumphantly and said to the fireman who was carrying him all the way, "See? Wisdom! You have to be wise! Especially when there are fewer enemies! ”

"Qian Shizuo, you are a loser!" The firepower snorted coldly, and directly picked up such a sentence, and ignored him.

Because the boxes that Qian Chujiu asked them to smash open were all porcelain shipped from the Ming Dynasty, not to mention shipped to the West, even in China, it was also worth a lot. Qian Chujiu opened the big container like this and let those Ottoman soldiers rob it, in the eyes of this fireman, it was a complete loser.

"If you make more money, you can only have one life, and if you can't fight it, how can we hold this place?"

He could see it, and he didn't pay too much attention to the ridicule of the soldiers below, but patted the big fireman: "Sergeant, how about seeing that you are a straight person?" After the battle, I'll tell the boss to let you follow Young Master Ben! Have a good day for you! ”

"Master Qian, don't you be disgusting? I still want to be faced! The fireman was not happy, and glared at Qian Chujiudao, "I'm your soldier!" What kind of virtue do you have, which of our people from the second division doesn't know? "This is also the reason why they drank the seat of Qian Chujiu's division, and on the roster of Qian Chujiu's military department, he is still the commander of the second division.

The fireman was retired from the 2nd Division and assigned to the 1st Rong Division, and later he was selected to the guard regiment because of his outstanding military qualities. Because he has been in the second division of the Beijing division for a few years, Qian Chujiu, the evil behavior of the Beijing division, he is really clear, so he directly said that he still wants to face for this reason - Qian Chujiu's reputation in the Beijing division is not ordinary evil!

"Soldiers of the Second Division? Then come on, let me ask you, in Jingshi, when did you hear that Young Master Ben had suffered a loss? Qian Chujiu didn't seem to be ashamed of his past notoriety at all, but rather proud, and said this proudly to the fireman.

The fireman is a simple man, think about it, I really haven't heard of this bastard master suffer! (To be continued......) R1292
