Chapter 202: Sudden Change
readx;? Looking at the continuous flashing fireworks signals in the direction of Ouchi in the Imperial Palace. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ infoβ€β=β€β The soldiers and non-commissioned officers who were watching the signal from the roof of the barracks shouted frantically:"
The nine gates in the palace and the five gates outside the palace were all successfully defended. Zheng Tuanzuo and his people have taken control of the situation. The soldiers who heard the sound here began to plant small flags on all thirteen gates in the palace. The commander of the army said to Zhu Lin, who was standing in front of the huge map: "Principal, the situation has been decided, do you want to start implementing the next plan!"
"Oh, let's do it according to the plan! Don't ask me for everything!" After speaking, Zhu Lin walked out of the command post. Looking at the night sky from afar, a star as big as a bucket slowly rises from the east, flickering bright and dark. "Hey! If only Wang Guangxu were here, he would know what star this star represents! I don't know what prophecy the half-immortal can say," Zhu Lin sighed to himself! Zhu Lin walked into a room and prepared to squint for a while. This Zhu Lin just lay down with his clothes. I heard a shout outside: "Tell the commander, urgent military situation." β
Zhu Lin jumped up from the bed. Walking out of the door, a militia soldier outside the door had gauze wrapped around his head, and blood was still oozing from the gauze. The chief of staff also stood aside. Zhu Lin just wanted to open his mouth and ask what was wrong. The gauze-wrapped soldier stood up and saluted and said, "Your Excellency, the commander of the Imperial Court is urgent, and the sailors of the Jiangshang Imperial Court suddenly stormed the Jinling Wharf for some reason. Now the brothers guarding the direction of the Jinling Gate are desperately resisting. Please command the reinforcements. β
Zhu Lin was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly took the commander of the army and the soldier to the command post. On the huge sand table, a soldier pointed to the direction of Jinling Pier with a baton and said, "The place where the battle is alive is here." β
The chief of staff looked at the terrain and asked the soldiers: "How many troops does the other side have?" Why didn't there be an emergency signal!"
"There were so many ships that almost the whole dock was enclosed, and the sailors were about three thousand men. Now we are resisting at the gates and walls. When these men went ashore, they began to smash, loot, and burn, and the entire Jinling wharf was in ruins! The signal soldiers lost the signal cannon. That's why I came here to report the news! Please ask the young marshal to send reinforcements as soon as possible!"
The commander looked at Zhu Lin. Zhu Lin looked at the terrain in the direction of Jinling City Gate. He asked, "The city gate hasn't been lost, has it?"
"When I came, I didn't lose it. At that time, our captain ordered the city gate to be opened and let coolies and merchants enter the city, and there were many sailors and soldiers. The situation was so urgent that the gates were not closed. We fought fiercely with the sailors' soldiers to seize the city gates. The brothers suffered heavy casualties. Risking his life to burst out of the encirclement, the situation is urgent, please command the reinforcements of the adults!" blocked the commander's intention to continue the questioning.
"I order! The logistics troops replaced the guards at the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th gates to the south with muskets. The 6th Battalion, which was temporarily reorganized, immediately rushed to the aid of Jinling Gate with muskets, and must arrive within half an hour! Even if I run a dead horse, I will be there within two quarters of an hour! The artillery brigade will also go. Tell the artillery captain that within an hour, I will hear the sound of artillery in the direction of Jinling Gate. "The commander of the army took a few clicks and memorized the order. Immediately divided. A barracks next to the command post was where the heralds lived. The herald who received the order rode out of the camp gate on horseback and whistled to inform. Here, the mournful nighttime assembly call also sounded. The munitions depots next to the barracks gates and stables were all opened. The logistics units that had been assembled were given muskets and supplies under the leadership of their respective officers. And they ran in the direction they had marked. Note that it is running, not walking.
The artillery brigade assembled a little slowly, after all, the artillery was too heavy. Although there was a special artillery carriage, it was a horse-drawn horse! When the emergency assembly horn was blown, the artillery captain was still confused. Didn't you say that the artillery would not be allowed to participate in the battle? What's going on, I just got back from the command post to rest. This is the emergency assembly call in the middle of the night. Get out of bed. When I went out, I saw a member of his own artillery brigade and a member of the command headquarters. The commander of the command department immediately said: "Commander of the artillery brigade, the commander orders the artillery brigade to rush to the Jinling City Gate to participate in the battle within one hour of receiving the order, and I am ordered to go with you! This is the herald leaflet!" The commander of the artillery group took the herald. Looking at the logistics troops who were urgently assembling and heading out. Even the men marched in the direction of the camp gate. I don't dare to delay. It looks like there are already artillery assembled. He shouted loudly: "The squadron leaders and squad leaders have gathered, target the Jinling City Gate, hurry out! β
The assembled artillerymen heard the order and ran frantically to the southeast corner of the school field. That's their warehouse. Getting there, the artillery logistics officers had already pushed the guns out, the first, second, third, eighth. The rows are neatly there. The horses over there were also brought over. The artillerymen were trained to hang the gun wagons to the tractors and then strap the tractors to their horses. One cannon and one horse are enough. The small cannon was quickly assembled! But the No. 8 gun weighed 800 pounds, and with the gun truck and tractor, it weighed two tons. Six horses are needed to pull it. The level is laborious, and the reason why it is slow is that it is slow on this. The captain of the artillery group saw the scene of chaos. I couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh. This time, it is inevitable to be criticized. I don't have a long brain, and I still separate the gun carriage, the tractor, and the horse as usual. But what time is it? Hey! It is said that in wartime, the artillery wagon and tractor should be put together, and the horse can be hung and walked. But now.
Zhu Lin was wearing a champion robe and stood on the platform. Looking at the chaotic scene of the artillerymen, his brow furrowed. Turning his head, he asked the commander of the staff: "How long is the emergency assembly of artillery!"
The commander said: "In peacetime, the rule is two quarters of an hour, and in wartime, a quarter of an hour. β
"Lao Liu, you go and tell the captain, give him five minutes, and you can't get out again. His artillery captain is gone, where did he come from, get out of here!"
"Yes!" Lao Liu turned around and walked over. The captain of the artillery group here was sweating in a hurry. Look at the small cannon has been assembled. But the No. 8 gun has not yet been assembled. scolded angrily: "You bunnies, you rabbits, who are usually Yang Jian's students, are not good at training." Now it's time to suffer! When the time comes, not to mention that I will be punished, none of you will be able to escape. β
At this time, Liu Fubei arrived, and after conveying the order to the commander of the artillery brigade. And he stood there and watched. Artillery has always been mysterious. Usually training or something is arranged in another place. It's hard for others to see. It has been a long time since Zhu Lin has been followed, and the first and second guns have been seen. This is the first time I have seen this No. 8 gun. According to rumors, 20 artillery pieces were waiting for a No. 8 gun! This scattered bullet was fired, and within a radius of 10 meters, there were no people or animals. With solid bullets, you can smash the battlements on the city wall in one piece. Today, it seems, is exactly what it is. It was thick and long, and the cannon tube was more than enough to put its own arm in. The thick front behind the cannon looks imposing. I just don't know how powerful the fire is. Isn't it as powerful as it is rumored? Liu Fubei was thinking nonsense there. The artillery was finally assembled. The captain of the artillery group ordered with an ugly face: "Out, target Jinling Gate." β
Fortunately, I didn't have the time set by the young master. Otherwise, it's in trouble today. When the time comes, I will definitely not be able to eat and walk around.
Seeing that the artillery brigade began to come out. Zhu Lin tightened his cloak and said, "Prepare a horse for me!" What the hell is going on. The commander of the army said with an embarrassed face: "Headmaster, since reinforcements have been sent. Please trust your brothers! Please don't worry about the principal!" Actually, what the commander of the army thinks in his heart is, who dares to let you go to the battlefield? When the time comes, there will be a single hair missing, how will we explain! Zheng Jiu will not strip us when he comes back. But now it seems that no one can convince the principal!
Zhu Lin saw that the commander of the army said this. He said to Liu Fubei, who came over: "Prepare a horse for me, let's go together!
Liu Fuchu did not dare to take this responsibility. also advised Zhu Lin not to go. I'm afraid that something will happen to Zhu Lin if he goes. Several of the soldiers were also there to persuade them. Anyway, anyone can go, but you Zhu Lin can't go. There was no way, Zhu Lin had to go to the stable and lead a horse. When the commander saw that Zhu Lin had gone to lead the horse, he hurriedly asked one of his subordinates to call Li Zhi. In fact, Li Zhi had already gotten up. With such a big movement, Li Zhi was a little old, and he didn't sleep much. Sudden changes made everyone, everyone was busy, so I didn't bother everyone. Just stood there in the doorway and watched quietly.
Zhu Lin pulled a horse out of the stable. Just rode up. Seeing Li Zhi coming over in a hurry with someone, he had no choice but to dismount and make a gesture to Li Zhi. Li Zhi smiled and said to Zhu Lin: "Since Lin'er wants to go into battle, you must also wear armor and hold weapons! You take the guards to accompany Lin'er, the old man doesn't need any guards in this big camp. β
When Zhu Lin heard this, he was overjoyed, and after thanking Li Zhi, he went to the treasury to pick up armor and weapons. Here, Liu Fubei said to Li Zhi: "Manager Li, young master is in battle, what should I do if there is damage! When the time comes, I will be a sinner!"
Li Zhi smiled and said to Liu Fubei: "Who is more powerful in kung fu between you and Lin'er." Liu Fubei said: "Of course, the young master's kung fu is amazing. I've fought with the young master! I can't win in a hundred rounds. But Lord Steward, this battlefield is not just good kung fu. Fighting on the battlefield and testing kung fu are completely different things. The young master has never been on the battlefield again! When the time comes, if there are really three long and two short. How do I explain it?"
Li Zhi glanced up at the night sky, which had already begun to turn blue, and said: "Young eagles always have to grow up, how can they fight in the sky without experience! How can it be a great thing. Let him go, it's good for him to see blood! Don't look at Zhu Lin Xiao, the little cub is very thief. You don't know about the last deer feast. Don't worry! There aren't many people who can hurt him. If something really happens, I'll take it! When people ask about it, they say I'll let me go! Liu Fubei thought in his heart!
