Chapter 187: The Bandit
The sun is rising.
Before the morning fog, Huangyan County seemed to be the most crystal dewdrop, which attracted Su Jingrong's attention so much.
He enjoyed breakfast in small mouthfuls. He was a person who never got tired of eating. Even on the battlefield, he had to eat this breakfast well.
However, his brother Su Jinglan was like a barbarian. He chewed his mouth wide and made loud noises.
"This Huangyan County is more difficult to attack than I imagined!" The person who spoke over there was Mou Yinan: "I lost more than thirty brothers on it yesterday!"
Zhuangyong under his command was only 400 people. He lost more than 30 people last night, not including a few injured people. When he thought of this, he felt very sad: "More than 30 good brothers, more than 30! If it weren't for Zhuangyong I was in charge, I would probably not be able to fight if I encountered such casualties!"
Su Jingrong was still enjoying the exquisite breakfast slowly. After a while, she said: "More than 30, I also suffered casualties yesterday! But do you think there will be a turning point in the arrow?"
"It's hard to attack the city during the day!" But Mou Yinan said: "We don't have any artillery in our hands, how can we open such a strong county town?"
"Thanks to the Red Thief for using cannons to smash the walls of Huangyan County!" Su Jingrong asked, "How many people came today?"
He asked about the heroes and heroes from all walks of life in the county who came today. These people received Su Jingrong's letters yesterday. Su Jingrong sent a total of twenty-six letters, asking them to do their best to bring all their courage. As long as they opened this Huangyan County, they would use mountains of gold and silver. His brother Su Jinglan had already lit it: "There are 11th in total, and there are 1,400 people!"
The eleventh journey brought about by the courage, at most two or three hundred people, and at least dozens of people. Su Jinglan probably came over most of the people who were willing to come over. People in this era got up very early - even the emperors were the same. Every day, they got up before dawn to go to the morning court. The Qing people called it a shout.
"It's a little less!" Su Jinglan said, "But it's almost done!"
One day yesterday, Zhuangyong succeeded in a sneak attack at night, but he also suffered 2670 casualties, and now there are about 2700 people left. In addition, the 1,400 new arrivals today, almost 4,000 people have been selected. He has already chosen a breakthrough: "The southwest corner is the direction for our breakthrough."
"Where?" Su Jinglan asked: "Why?"
"That's Guangyong's garrison. I tried it yesterday. There were 60 Guangyongs from Gaoliangcai, but it was the weakest point. Today, Guan Jiyong and Huang Tingxuan took the lead and told them that as long as they open this Huangyan County, they can have fun at that time!"
It was the first time he said this. Mou Yinan was from Huangyan. He immediately asked sensitively: "What are you, a Linhai man, doing?"
"The two ungrateful wolves cannot be motivated without heavy rewards!" Su Jingrong had already used the last egg yolk: "Okay, it's time to do it!"
Obviously, Guan Jiyong and Huang Tingxuan, two heroes in Huangyan County, not only did not have any disgust for robbing Huangyan County, but also smiled happily: "Guan Jingrong, I did not read it correctly. Yesterday, our two teams did not put in their strength, just waited to use their strength today!"
In history, Huang Tingxuan's subordinate Qitian Yong robbed Huangyan County. Coupled with the retaliatory killing of the Taiping Army after the second attack on Huangyan, it can be said that it was an unprecedented catastrophe in the history of Huangyan County.
"Brothers, opposite are the brave men recruited by Gaozhi County. Everyone knows what their abilities are. As long as they open up this Huangyan County, Master Su has promised that we can have some fun! Everyone is ready for me!"
As he spoke, Qitian Yong, who was under Huang Tingxuan's men, was all desperate. In history, this armed force had defeated the Qing army's attack several times. However, due to the Qing army's main force and Mou Yinan and other regiments' courage to cooperate with the attack, Qitian Village was broken and burned down after being captured. Huang Tingxuan was captured and killed, and the remaining troops surrendered to the Taiping Army.
After the main force of the Taiping Army went south to Wenzhou, this armed force was recruited by Su Jingrong again, and they fought back with various regiments. They entered the county town and retaliated for the great revenge of burning strange fields in the past. Then they robbed the city and rural areas, divided the land and donated, and burned Maoshe, and killed Mou Yinan.
Next, facing the attack of the Qing army, they joined forces with Guan Jiyong, who was suppressed by Zuo Zongtang in the second year of Tongzhi. They defeated the Qing army repeatedly, killed the Dusi, and had many guards. Although they were captured by the superior Qing army several times, they still gathered to stir up trouble again and rebelled again after being recruited. They were always the confidant of the Qing army's rule over Taizhou. They persisted until the seventh year of Tongzhi (1868), and then tempted this Qitian brave man and then massacred them all. Except for Wang Jinman, who rose later, they could be said to be an unprecedented bandit in Taizhou's history.
Now the emotions of these two bandits were ignited, and some desperate people took off their shirts and shouted: "Brother Huang, look at us!"
"Okay!" Huang Yanxuan smiled and said, "When the time comes, you will be the first to get the wife!"
This sentence aroused the bloodiness of these desperate people. The desperate people immediately shouted and rushed forward with the bird guns shot from the city.
Although Guangyong of Gaoling, the team of Gaoling, was the private guard of Gaoling, had just changed their master and his morale was not high. They concentrated fifty or sixty shotguns to bombard them from a distance, but at such a long range, they did not hit a few desperate people.
A bandit swam into the moat with a pounce, and shouted loudly backwards: "Ladder! Get the ladder ready!"
Guangyong on the city continued to fire bullets, but he saw nearly a thousand desperadoes rushing over like a tide. Their hands were shaking. Fortunately, there was a mixed row at this time, but this mixed row was the one that was frustrated yesterday. Their joining did not fundamentally improve the situation.
"Kill! Kill! Kill! Go into the city and play the lady!"
These bandits had almost swam across the moat. Facing the bullets shot from the city, they just set up a ladder and ran forward, shouting: "Whether the eldest lady or the young wife, I will be the first to get on!"
Someone shouted behind him: "Why, I'm the first to catch Mrs. Official!"
Su Jingrong did find Feng Sixian's weakness in the defense. He mixed Guangyong with the mixed platoon to defend the southwest direction, which was indeed a big mistake. Although he has defeated twenty or thirty bandits, more bandits have flowed across the river like a tide.
"Support, support, come and support!"
Although the hundreds of birds and several flintlocks shot out bullets from time to time, the wild tide was useless. The two ungrateful wolves mentioned by Mu Yinan went one after another. The fastest group training had dragged the long bamboo ladder to the city.
"Damn it!"
But at this time, Shi Tinglan rushed over with an infantry platoon from the Second Company of Jintang. She drew out her revolver and shot down. The joining of the Second Company of Jintang also stabilized the situation slightly.
Now there is almost no need to aim. There are almost all people under the city. Qi Tianyong has already hung the ladder on the wall and shouted: "What a beautiful girl, brothers have caught them together!"
Three long bamboo ladders were already approaching, and more ladders were loaded up. Although some ladders were quickly pushed down by the defenders on the city, and the defenders at the city had already thrown down with prepared stones, tiles, gold juice and other cities and other cities, causing considerable casualties in the formation of the regiment bravery.
However, such casualties were insignificant among the crowds of nearly a thousand people. The appearance of Shi Tinglan even aroused the beastly nature of these bandits: "That's right, this girl is so hot! I'm the first to go!"
"Miss, you are the first to go, and you are the first to go, your wife, I want this girl!"
"No, it's our turn!"
In such howls, the bandits climbed up the ladders one after another. Although some ladders were overturned and some were fired by guns and cannons on the city, more bandits climbed up desperately. Soon some bandits climbed up the top of the city, and the bandits who could not climb to the top of the city shot bird guns.
With less than 150 people defending nearly 1,000 people, there were naturally countless flaws. Shi Tinglan could only tear down the east wall and repair the west wall. She shouted loudly: "Kill the bandits who came up!"
The two sides strangled at the top of the city, and Shi Tinglan retreated to the side and loaded the revolver very cumbersomely. The revolver is good, but it's too troublesome to load bullets - Ruthya didn't know that there was a fast loader in the world, otherwise she could kill Liu Chang hard.
More and more bandits climbed to the top of the city. They took a fancy to Shi Tinglan and shouted loudly: "Catch this girl alive, everyone will take turns!"
But at this moment, Feng Sixian and Bai Shanye were already coming with reinforcements on the left and right: "Let these bandits taste the power of our Dragon Spear Company!"
The two sides immediately fought a desperate battle with the city at the top of the city. From time to time, bandits appeared at the city, and were either pushed down the city or stabbed to death by bayonets and spears. However, more and more bandits climbed to the city, and the battle became more and more intense. Feng Sixian saw that more and more bandits pounced on the city, and knew that his arrangement had made mistakes. At least he had to arrange stronger troops here. Even with a flintlock rifle, it would be much better. But now is not the time to take the medicine for regret. He shouted loudly: "Brothers, check on it and kill you right away!"
The bandits under the city are a little regretful now. Up to now, they have suffered at least 160 or 70 casualties, and there are only more than two or three hundred defenders on the top of the city, which has actually caused them to suffer such great casualties.
But until now, Huang Tingxuan has no way out. He shouted loudly: "Go into the city to grab the girls, grab the gold, whoever grabs the money will belong to whoever gets it!"
Guan Jiyong shouted loudly on the other side: "Brothers, work harder and grab the stingy girl back and play with you. This time I'm the last one!"
This aroused the fierceness of the bandits, and they climbed up desperately, and the situation became more and more intense.
