Chapter 120 Fierce Battle(2/2)
President Qian of the official army roared angrily. He cut off the new recruit's head with one knife, then raised his bloody waist knife and shouted sternly: "If this southern gate cannot be defended, the general cannot spare me, and I cannot spare you either. Who dares to say something else to escape? This is the end!"
All the officials who saw this scene were suddenly silent.
"Why are you still standing there?" President Qian of the official army cursed angrily, "The thief has already come up, he fucks the guys, and I will fuck them down... kill them!"
It happened that a thief-headed leader snatched the city like flying. The official general shouted loudly, and with a backhand, he just slashed the thief-headed leader's right shoulder. The sharp steel knife cut through the shoulder blade like a tofu, cutting the thief-headed leader's right arm and right shoulder away.
The little thief leader backfired before his death, and wanted to hold the official army, General Qian fell down the city wall and died together. General Qian waved slightly and avoided the little thief leader's hugging, and then kicked the little thief leader from behind and kicked the little thief off the city tower.
Seeing that there was no movement from the official army behind him, President Qian of the official army was anxious and angry. He shouted loudly: "Why are you still standing there? Waiting for the thief to come up and chop your dog's head?"
It was not until this time that the soldiers of the government and soldiers who were frightened by the scene just now woke up as if they were dreaming. They shouted and rushed forward, carried the rolling wooden stones and smashed them down frantically at the thief on the ladder. The thief who was about to rob the city was hit by this blow and was suppressed again.
Outside Datong City, the hills are covered.
"Oh." Li Hu sighed with regret. "It's a pity. I almost attacked."
The expression on Li Yan's face was still as calm as ever, and he said calmly: "Li Hu. Now the people in Huihui camp can be removed and the people in Zuo Jin camp will go up."
"yes."
Li Hu responded, turned over and drove the horse to go in person.
The Hongniang looked back at Li Yan with admiration and said in a sweet voice: "Your husband, you are so powerful. You have calculated everything in advance. The spirit of the official army on the city has been exhausted from the fierce battle with Huihui Camp just now. The troops of Zuo Jin Camp are waiting for their hard work and will definitely be able to kill the city in one fell swoop."
"It may not be so smooth." Li Yan shook his head and said, "General Li Xuan is right. The government troops in Datong Town cannot underestimate it, and I am also worried..."
The Hongniang asked with concern: "What else is my husband worried about?"
Li Yan's eyebrows were covered with a hint of worry for the first time, and he said in a deep voice: "I am also worried that the government troops on the city will become stronger and stronger as they fight. After all, they are the government troops. Whether it is training or equipment, they are above our rebels. Our rebels can only rely on their courage in combat. If they cannot grab the city gate and gain a foothold within one hour, this battle... will be defeated."
"Ah?" Hong Niang exclaimed in a burst of voice, "One hour? Then we only have half an hour left?"
Up the arrow tower.
Wang Pu turned around and said to Lu Liu: "Liu'er, do you recognize the Qian Zheng who was injured and killed the enemy on the top of the city just now?"
"I don't know." Lu Liu shook his head and said, "The villain doesn't know him."
Wang Pu asked Xiaoqi who had just arrived again and said, "Where are you, Xiaoqi?"
Xiaoqi also shook his head and said, "I don't know the humble rank. It is said that all the generals and generals above the Thousand General of Datong Town know each other, so you should know him, but this person is so nervous. Why have you never seen him before?"
Wang Pu said: "This man is calm in the face of danger and has a bit of a general's destiny. He turns around and sends someone to touch his bottom."
"Yes." Xiaoqi replied respectfully, "This matter is bound to Beizhi."
"Yeah." Wang Pu nodded and said to Lu Liudao, "This battle has been almost done. The second echelon of the bandits is about to be pressed up. Zhao Liujin's men have suffered a lot of casualties. It seems that they can't hold on for too long. They will immediately send a command to the bearded man. The musket team can go out of the city to fight back."
"yes."
Lu Liu Yingnui and took the order.
South Gate, the city of urn.
The bearded man led a thousand musketeers in the territory and stayed quietly inside.
Following the wall closest to the city gate, a veteran was leaning against the city wall, dozing with his eyes closed, letting the sound of killing outside shake the sky. The strong city gate was also swelled by the thief's hammer. The veteran didn't move at all, and even his eyelids didn't even jump. However, the new recruit beside the veteran was so nervous.
"Old He, the thief is about to break open the city gate."
"Old He, the sound above is not right. Is the thief already killed the city? "
"Old He, don't sleep anymore. Listen to whether the thief is really killed on the top of the city?"
The new recruit Danzi looked at the city gate nervously, raised his head and listened to the fighting sounds on the city gate, squatted down and counted the Dragon King Cannons around his waist over and over again, and quietly picked up the musket in his hand. He gestured at the city gate twice, and muttered to him, "Kill you, a thief, wail!"
The tension, fear and excitement before the war made all the new recruits in the musket team become neurotic. If it weren't for the fact that half of the veterans were fighting, these new recruits would be afraid that before the thieves could kill them, they would have lost their positions and even exploded!
"Puff!"
The closed city gate was hit hard again, shaking the soil in the city gate hole. The new recruit stood up, raised his musket and pointed it at the closed city gate, screaming loudly: "Old He, no, the city gate is really going to be knocked open by the thief!"
The new recruit Danzi shouted, and dozens of new recruit Danzis from nearby stood up.
It was not until this critical moment that the veteran opened his eyes lazily and cursed unceremoniously: "Boy, the gate of our Datong City is solid. According to the way of thieves hitting, they can't even be hit for ten days and half a month! Look at your promising prospects. Before you see the thieves, you are afraid that they will become like this. It's useless."
Another veteran also laughed and said, "If these cowards catch up with the battle of Sanbulachuan, three in and three out, they will not have to pee their pants all, hahaha..."
"Boy, you all listen to me." Another veteran said in a threatening tone. "If you go to the battlefield later, don't get diarrhea. If you really become cowards, I will twist all the heads of you, such as the waste, as a chamber pot."
The veterans burst into laughter, but the new recruits all blushed.
The new recruits never think they are cowards, so naturally they are dissatisfied with one hundred. However, they are used to being cleansed up by these veterans and dare not say anything contradictory, but they all feel excited, thinking that if they meet the thief later, they must kill others to show the veterans.
These recruits don’t know yet. After letting a few veterans make such a fuss just now, they are no longer nervous and afraid.
At this moment, the tall and fierce figure of the bearded man suddenly strode in. The veterans who were lying on the ground listlessly pretending to be asleep immediately turned over and got up, and all of them became energetic. These veterans had already smelled murderous aura from the bearded man.
The bearded man's eyes swept coldly across the faces of a thousand soldiers, and he shouted sternly: "Get up all the damn goodbye to me."
The ten generals following the bearded man immediately rushed forward and commanded their own 100-man team to form a formation. In less than a moment, a thousand musketeers had already been arranged in neat formations.
The bearded man strode to the front of the queue and shouted loudly: "After opening the city gate later, five hundred veterans are in front and five hundred new soldiers are in the back. In a team of 100 people, one team after another, first use the Dragon King cannon to open the gap, and then line up and shoot after leaving the city. Have you heard it clearly?"
"I heard it clearly!"
A thousand soldiers responded with a loud bang.
The bearded man's thunder-like sound buzzed and echoed in the city, causing the soldiers' eardrums to ache. The sound was almost clear even if the deaf people could hear it.
"Okay." The bearded man nodded and shouted sternly, "The first team... prepare."
The first 100-man team composed of one hundred veterans quickly moved forward and lined up in the city gate hole in ten rows. Except for the ten veterans in the first row who were about to open the city gate, the remaining ninety veterans had already carried the musket on their shoulders, holding a fire twister in one hand and a Dragon King cannon in the other, ready.
Seeing that the veterans were ready, the bearded man shouted: "Open the city gate!"
Ten veterans who were about to open the door quickly drilled the gate and the two giant rocks that had been twisted in advance slowly fell from the edge of the city gate. Under the pull of the huge rocks, the closed city gate slowly opened with a harsh creaking sound. Just as the city gate was just opened, the ten veterans in the first row had already ignited the lead of the Dragon King Cannon with fire twisters.
The thieves who were hitting the city gate saw the city gate suddenly opened, and immediately cheered and rushed forward in a mess. But there were ten black and sparkling iron lumps to greet them. Before they could understand what was going on, the dazzling fire had already bloomed from their feet, and the huge wave of air instantly tore these unlucky thieves into pieces...
"The second team took the lead and threw it!"
"The third team took fifteen steps forward and threw it!"
The 100-man team repeated the orders in a mechanical and cold manner. Ninety musketeers who were already ready kept snatching forward and threw the prepared Dragon King cannons row by row onto the narrow open space outside the city gate. The crowded thieves were blown up and overturned, and flesh and blood were flying everywhere.
The thief crowded at the outside gate of the city was suddenly hit and was in a mess.
"Architecture, the official army's artillery is coming."
"God, the cannons of the government army are so powerful."
In the chaos army, there were some thieves who shouted. The bandits who were already a little scared collapsed in an instant and fled in scattered. After all, the bandits were thieves. Under the temptation of food, money and women, their morale could be unprecedentedly high and they could not fear death, but their morale was not disciplined, and they were thrust quickly and quickly.
Inside the city gate.
The bearded man gently tweeted forward with the knife in his hand and shouted loudly: "The second team... attack!"
The second 100-man team, who was ready to enter the city gate in neat steps, stepped into the city gate, and these musketeers, whether new or veterans, received the strictest training. As long as they went to the battlefield, they must maintain a rigorous shooting formation at any time or at any place.
Because the firearms of this era are just flintlock muskets, if they are just individual combat of musketeers, neither the power nor the rate of fire can form a real advantage for the cold weapon army. Only by lined up in dense shooting formations and conducting dense three-stage shooting can muskets form an overwhelming advantage for cold weapons.
