Chapter 241: Soldiers Coming Outside the City (Second Shift)
County government, Jinlin Yuan. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
In the study, Nie Zheng stood in front of a desk with a map of the entire Annan Army.
Looking at the map on the desk, Nie Zheng always frowned
Today is the fourth day that he has planted mines in Beiliyuan, and just yesterday afternoon, a letter came from outside the city; The army led by Sang Kang has broken through the mine array and is currently heading towards Yangzhou.
After learning about this, Nie Zheng was not surprised at all.
The main purpose of deploying the minefield was to solve the problem of the 100,000 Han Chinese enslaving the vanguard.
Although Sang Kang and the others successfully broke through the minefield, they had already lost ninety percent of the 100,000 Han enslavements they carried, and Nie Zheng had already figured out how to deal with the remaining 10,000 Han pioneers.
Anyway, in a word, he would never let those Dayue people drive the remaining Han vanguard into the sight of the soldiers defending the city.
At this moment, an announcement suddenly came from outside the door. "Dashuai, someone asks to see you!"
"Let him come in and see me!"
Nie Zheng slowly put away the map and looked up at the door.
I saw Niu Meng hurriedly cross the door, walked quickly to Nie Zheng, and bowed his hand: "I've seen the handsome!" ”
Nie Zheng glanced at him and said in a calm tone, "What's the matter, the enemy is coming?" ”
Niu Meng nodded, took a deep breath and said, "The army of more than 100,000 led by Sang Kang is already less than thirty miles away from the southern city defense. ”
Nie Zheng raised his eyebrows, and said with some curiosity: "Is Sang Kang preparing to concentrate all his forces this time and storm the southern defense?" How many other city defenses have any signs of abnormality? ”
Niu Meng shook his head and said: "In the other three city defenses, no changes have been found, and Sang Kang's goal seems to be very clear, that is, to go straight to the southern city defense." ”
Nie Zheng smiled coldly and whispered to himself: "It seems that this group of Dayue people is determined to attack Yangzhou this time, and they will concentrate all their forces to storm one place, and it is estimated that Sangkang is also ready to do whatever it takes." But it's okay to have a big war, the province has many divisions, and it's troublesome to run around. ”
Hearing this, Niu Meng couldn't help but ask: "Dashuai, you said that Sang Kang did this, did he come with confidence and preparation?" ”
Nie Zheng glanced at him and said lightly: "Of course you came prepared, otherwise, do you really think these Dayue people are fools?" Crowds of people running to their deaths, do you think it's possible? ”
Speaking of this, he waved his hand and said, "Since Sang Kang's army has been killed, from now on, you should follow Mr. Yi's left and right and assist him in guarding the city, so as to avoid chaos in the city." ”
Niu Meng nodded and said, "Yes, Dashuai, my subordinates retire!" ”
Looking at the back of Niu Meng leaving, Nie Zheng lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and finally he decided to leave Jinlin Yuan and personally go to Nancheng to supervise the battle.
Now that he had known the main target of Sang Kang's attack, there was no need for Nie Zheng to stay in the study.
Thinking of this, he put on a robe and walked quickly towards the door, and several guards guarding the door saw this, and saluted one after another: "Handsome! ”
Nie Zheng glanced at them and said, "You all follow me to the southern city defense!" ”
"Yes, Dashuai!"
After that, the guards prepared to escort Nie Dashuai out of Jinlin Yuan and go to the southern city defense.
"Squeak".
At this moment, the door of a wing room in the depths of Jinlin Yuan suddenly opened, and immediately after, Shen Hongyu was seen wearing a black power suit, slowly walking out of the room.
"Young Eagle!"
After hearing Shen Hongyu's crisp coquettish voice, Nie Zheng was stunned, turned his head to look, and found that she appeared behind him at some point, and immediately Nie Zheng smiled and said, "Sister, what is the matter with calling me?" ”
Shen Hongyu's beautiful eyes were raised, and she glanced at him angrily, and said, "Where are you going?" ”
Nie Zheng deliberately put on a hanging, his eyes kept scanning her full chest, and said: "Sang Kang led a group of Da Yue monkeys to kill them, I will meet them to see if this Sang Kang is really as invincible as rumored, and no one can match it." ”
Shen Hongyu looked at him deeply, a trace of worry flashed in her beautiful eyes, and she said lightly: "I will accompany you and protect you." ”
Nie Zheng's heart warmed, and he smiled: "It's so good......"
………………
Accompanied by Shen Hongyu, a cheap mother-in-law, Nie Zheng and his party quickly left the Siyachang and rode straight to the southern city defense.
At this moment, up and down the city wall of the southern city defense, there are people surging everywhere, and countless soldiers with cold expressions are carrying boxes of ammunition, running back and forth inside and outside the city wall to set up defenses, and the atmosphere at the scene seems to be a little tense.
Obviously, after Shi Zheng learned that Sangkang's army might attack the southern city defense, he drew a lot of troops and ammunition from other places.
Only when you are fully prepared for battle, can you wait to be able to give the enemy who comes to attack the city head-on.
Nie Zheng and Shen Hongyu appeared after the southern city defense, and along the way, all the soldiers bowed respectfully when they saw them.
"I've seen the handsome! I've seen Madame! ……”
Facing everyone's salutes, Nie Zheng had long been used to it, but Shen Hongyu was a little embarrassed.
Because she is Nie Dashuai's wife, this matter has basically been heard of by people up and down in the Dragon and Tiger Righteous Army.
Nowadays, everyone who sees Shen Hongyu will call her "madam", after hearing this title, although Shen Hongyu's pretty face was flushed and a little embarrassed, but she was very happy in her heart.
In the past, when she was in Longhu Mountain, only the people in Heifeng Village affectionately called her Mrs., but now when she arrives in Yangzhou City, basically everyone is called that, sometimes Shen Hongyu will be a little embarrassed, so during this time, she has always lived in a simple place, basically staying in Jinlin Garden and not going out. After all, she and Nie Zheng are not husband and wife, so it is inevitable that they will be a little weak-hearted.
As soon as Nie Zheng came to the southern city defense, Shi Zheng personally led more than a dozen city defense generals to greet him.
"I've seen the big handsome!"
"Excuse me!"
Nie Zheng waved his hand at Shi Zheng and the others, and said lightly: "How's the deployment?" ”
Shi Zheng arched his hand and said: "Everything has been prepared, now we are waiting for Sang Kang's gang of Dayue monkeys to send them to death." ”
Nie Zheng nodded with satisfaction and said, "Not bad, let's go, let's go up to the city tower to have a look." ”
After that, everyone supported Nie Dashuai and quickly climbed the city tower.
After ascending the South City Tower, Nie Zheng slowly walked to the edge of the battlements, Shen Hongyu and Shi Zheng accompanied him respectively, he observed around inside and outside the city defense, and found that everything was deployed according to his previous plan, nodded secretly, and said in his heart, the administration is still quite reliable.
Today, the armed firepower deployed in the entire southern city defense is definitely the strongest firepower among the four urban defenses in the entire Yangzhou City.
Outside the south gate, on the inner bank of the moat, under the walls on the left and right, a large number of trenches were dug and a large number of fortifications were also built.
Under the thousands of meters of the city wall, 300 heavy machine guns, nearly 1,000 light machine guns, and countless other miscellaneous guns were deployed inside and out.
At the same time, above the city walls, hundreds of bazookas, plus nearly a thousand mortars and grenadiers, were enough to deliver a covering bombardment strike to any enemy who appeared outside the city.
What is even more shocking is that boxes of bullets and shells are piled up everywhere, both above and below the city walls.
At this moment, in those trenches outside the city, there are thousands of light and heavy machine guns, and next to each light and heavy machine gun, there are several soldiers who are busy loading the bullet chain for the needs of the battle.
Seeing this scene, Nie Zheng suddenly spoke: "How is the ammunition prepared?" Is it sufficient? ”
Shi Zheng nodded and said: "Each heavy machine gun is equipped with 20,000 rounds of ammunition, and the light machine gun is 5,000 rounds. ”
Hearing this, Nie Zheng lowered his head and thought for a while, and said: "Don't draw too many weapons and ammunition from other city defenses for the time being, before Sang Kang leads a large army to attack the southern city defense, no one dares to be 100% sure, they will definitely gather all their forces to attack here." ”
Shi Zheng nodded again and said nothing.
At this time, the sun sinks in the west and the sun sets at dusk.
On the distant horizon, the blood-like remnant sun seemed to burn with the last trace of brilliance, reflecting the entire city wall in gold.
Nearly 10,000 soldiers guarding the defense of the southern city, under the illumination of the setting sun, their bodies shimmered with a layer of golden glittering, as if they were wearing a golden armor.
Nie Zheng slowly climbed to the top of the South City Tower, holding a military telescope, and looked out of the city.
Suddenly, above the distant wilderness, a black line appeared.
As the black line was slowly enlarged, and then extended, finally, Nie Zheng saw clearly, it was a crowd of black people.
Sangkang's army has finally appeared!
Through the telescope in his hand, Nie Zheng clearly saw that the crowd rushing to the front was walking in tatters, dressed in tatters, and he was not wearing a trace of armor and weapons at all.
It is clear that they were enslaved by the Han Chinese, who were driven forward by the Da Yue.
According to Nie Zheng's estimates, the enemy should be at least ten miles away from the southern city defense.
At such a distance, those Han strong men who assisted in defending the city, with their naked eyesight, could not see clearly what kind of enemy was coming in front of them.
It doesn't matter anymore, though.
Before the enemy drove those Han people to rush to the city, Nie Zheng's heart had already decided to open fire and bombard them in advance.
However, with the arms and weapons that Nie Zheng currently has, it seems that they have no range that can reach more than ten miles, and as for those mortars and heavy machine guns, needless to mention, they are all effective ranges of a few miles at most, and they cannot be killed at long distances.
The only way to do this is to take out the ten Krupp 75 mm guns.
