Chapter 831: Wild Dead Unburied Wu Can Eat (Part 2)
But no matter what, these Caizhou troops began to land one after another in a noisy situation. Then, as Qin Zongheng's central army moved from the ship to the port city, their subordinates had already arranged all the furnishings with silk curtains, felt blankets and cabinets in the largest and most intact house in the town, and he and his subordinates settled in directly.
It was not until a small centaur came down from the boat, and the more than a dozen riders who had been resurrected and the messenger heading to Shanyang City were sent out. Qin Zongheng was able to sit down on the collapsed piece made of animal skins, knead the shoulders of the army slaves, and sighed to the left and right standing on the side:
"It's better to stand on this ground to make people feel at ease!"
However, before he finished speaking, he was suddenly interrupted by a thunder sounding from far to near. Even the sitting beneath Qin Zongheng felt a slight tremor. He couldn't help but stand up and walk out the door with some hesitation and asked:
"Is it going to rain heavily?"
However, as Qin Zongheng pushed out the tent, he came to face a mess of soldiers, and there were scenes of running around the gentry like headless flies; and in the distant town, smoke pillars emerged. Then another tremor, a scream and a roar.
"What happened again..."
Qin Zongheng couldn't help but rush out of the courtyard, personally stopped a group of riots on the street, grabbed a soldier and scolded loudly.
"Bad...bad.bad.bad.bad.bad.bad.bad.bad.bad!"
The panicked soldier said with a tongue:
"A bastard, where does the drought thunder come from in the blue sky and the white sun... Come and find this with me..."
Qin Zongheng couldn't help but kick him to the ground and roared: Then there was another loud bang not far away from him; in the burst of uproar, some bricks and tiles and broken limbs were vaguely visible to the sky. Now he couldn't calm down anymore, and he couldn't help but yelled:
"Rise my flag and take me out of here and go out to the wilderness before reorganizing... Let the people on the boat get off the shore faster,"
However, when he led the gathered people on the street to retreat outside the Hong Kong City in one go, he began to shout and shout the Caizhou soldiers scattered and isolated from Zhenzigang City by the sudden explosions and fireworks; suddenly, there were loud shouts of killing in the mountains and fields, and various flags of forests were raised from the low hillsides and dry rivers and ditches.
With the reflections of the bright armor and swords, they rushed out of dense crowds of people and horses, like a wave rushing across the dike surface, rolling towards the Caizhou army where Qin Zongheng was. At this moment, the voices of the generals around Qin Zongheng changed their tone in horror and eagerness, and they screamed in a mess:
"Enemy attack..."
“There is an ambush…”
"Protective three rates..."
"Call support quickly..."
"Where are the people on the boat, why don't you come here soon..."
While they were clamoring, they gathered in a hurry to form several battle formations of varying sizes, and they bravely faced the crowds of people who were rushing over. However, because the fireworks spreading in the town and Hong Kong City were increasingly hiking, they covered most of their vision and sounds behind them, and they could only send troops to walk through the smoky town to send orders.
On a low earth bun opposite, a few rocks were erected between long poles and ropes similar to the shrink-rolled wall signal machine. Kong Liluo, the chief clerk of the Taiping Military Power, who had not appeared for a long time, was also watching the Caizhou soldiers retreating outside the town with a long tube mirror. Suddenly, he ordered loudly to the two three-inch small cannon teams that were preparing on the left and right:
"You can do it, just hit the flag!!"
"The enemy general's flag happened to be at the edge of the maximum charge range. Just fired the cannon like this and was afraid that the correct head would float far away..."
As the main body of the artillery team, Li Shuner responded meticulously
"It's okay, it's just that the cannon fire is deterred, and it doesn't matter if it kills and damages..."
Kong Liluo said without hesitation:
"good.."
The artillery team leader Li Shun'er turned around and ordered:
"Use the black flag of the target three hundred steps outside the target as the calibration benchmark, adjust the shooting angle... the maximum full load...."
Then, the heads of the two gun teams faced an object standing on the ground, similar to a large triangle ruler and a compass combo. After observing the interest calculation, a set of numbers exploded, which became the maximum inclination angle fine-tuned by the rotor on the gun mount at the preset position.
Then the gunner stuffed the entire pack of gunpowder from the front bore, the thick cardboard support and the cast iron shell ball bullet. Finally, the fire tube was inserted into the cone fire hole at the rear and pulled the box lid hard. In an instant, two roars burst out from the muzzle in no particular order, and the trajectory with two vague gray lines disappeared in an instant.
After waiting for a moment of particularly tormenting "long" expectations, I saw that among the Caizhou army, which had already started fighting with the ambush outside the town, was suddenly like fine gravel flying into the turbid turbulent flow, splashing two small blood-colored waves.
The Caizhou soldiers who received this sudden attack also instantly scattered some gaps from the bomb drop point like a frightened flock. One of them was only a dozen steps away from the Qin general flag, and it was alarmed to move it to the side for a short distance.
However, with this fleeting moment of shock, the Taiping soldiers who were attacking and killing had already won enough opportunities. They took advantage of the chaos to rush into the battle formation of the Caizhou soldiers and broke into several parts that could not echo each other. They also surrounded them with the local numerical advantage and attacked and killed them.
After the second round of artillery fire, the variegated crossbowmen who had arrived on the slopes of the battlefield also began to shoot and throw the enemy soldiers surrounding them, and pierced them one by one with arrow feathers in a row. In the end, they defeated them one after another, leaving only the largest remaining enemy gathered on the black "Qin" character.
Seeing this scene, Kong Liluo couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Finally, he was hiding and waiting for so many days under Shanyang City. He had prepared so much effort to lure and attract enemies in the city, but he didn't expect to unexpectedly guard such a large foreign fish with enough weight.
Although his previous mission was to lead these foreign vassals Yoshicong and patrol water guards, with the support of a small number of inland river boats and technical weapons, landed on the southeast coast of Huainan to carry out some destructive harassment and hindering wars, but he still wanted to have a chance to achieve great results.
Although the scale of this uninvited enemy army exceeded his expectations, he tried his best to use the last warning buffer time to arrange this ambush with this well-occupied town, disrupting it and splitting it for the time being to break it down.
After the fifth round of direct artillery bombardment was advanced to the hillside below, the hundreds of enemy soldiers surrounded the flag seemed to be pounded out of thin air, leaving two flesh-and-blooded gaps; correspondingly, the morale of the Caizhou army, which was already very low, suddenly collapsed, and turned into several defeated soldiers who broke through in all directions.
However, at this time, a sudden change occurred. A smoky and fire-ridden man emerged from the town where the flames were soaring, and then he ran into the defeated soldiers who were overwhelming. After they cooperated, they broke through the weak interceptions and a few alert men without looking back, and bypassed the town and retreated to the inland.
Among them, they wanted to rush to the mound where Kong Liluo was located, but a round of shotgun was loaded by a close gun crew. After they were hitting the ground, they still took a detour from the straight line of the central army where Kong Liluo was located, less than a dozen steps away.
This also made Kong Liluo, who was about to fight to the death, shocked him and sweated profusely and fell to the ground.
On the shore, the big ship that had not yet been on the turn of disembarking was also in a panic. As the commander of Longxiang Metropolis, Liu Jianfeng, who was the highest in the rank, could not help but look at the Hegang Town, which had been burned by the spreading flames, and the branches that seemed to have been swallowed after entering, and no one ran out of them.
"Commander Liu"
"What should I do?"
"Sanrui and they are still inside!"
The next moment, he ordered with great difficulty:
"Rise the sail and get anchor, we will change places and land, take a detour to Shanyang and look for an opportunity to rescue the third rate..."
