"Knock, knock, knock, knock" As soon as the day dawned, the cowhide drums on the battlefield began to beat again.In order to win the first merit and offset his sin of giving up Guizhou, Chen Feixiong volunteered to be a pioneer.Yesterday, Li Chendian had already laid the foundation, and as soon as the battle began, Chen Feixiong concentrated all the 50,000 Xiongzi troops at the southern city wall.Li Chendian's 50,000-strong army was divided into the other three sides and did not take the initiative to attack.Although in one night, Zuo Zongtang had already asked people to repair the east city wall.However, due to the time constraints, it was only slightly built with bricks and stones, and it was not as strong as before.All supplies from Kunming had arrived last night, including a small amount of gunpowder and shells.Li Chendian was overjoyed, although the amount was not much, but it was enough for Huaxingjun to drink a pot.After Chen Feixiong led his troops and horses to attack, Li Chendian put the artillery battalions in place and continued to bombard the east city wall indiscriminately.Before the eastern city wall could be used, it was destroyed by a dense number of cannonballs.Seeing this, Zuo Zongtang and Guo Songtao only left one brigade on each of the other three sides, and concentrated all the troops of the remaining division at the southern city wall.The assault outside the city was even more fierce than yesterday, with 50,000 men spread out outside the walls of the city for a mile.Looking from the city wall, the black pressure in the distance was full of soldiers wielding swords and guns.Roars and shouts soared into the sky, and the ground shook a little as the footsteps shook.When the two sides were two hundred meters apart, Zuo Zongtang gave the order to shoot, still leaving the machine gun at the rear.For this kind of dense charge, it is better to cut off one finger than to hurt ten fingers.You can only scare them at once before you can stop the charge.There were more than 10,000 people on the city wall, and they were fired in two groups.As soon as the soldiers in the front row finished firing five bullets, the soldiers in the back row hurriedly replenished them.Although it only takes more than ten seconds to change ammunition, there is no time for them in such a dense impact formation.Chen Feixiong was not completely unprepared for the rampage, he knew that Huaxingjun's firearms were powerful, and he collected the door panels of people's houses along the way.Then divide it in half, nail the handle in the back, and use it as a shield.When the team rushed into 200 meters, these door panels were all concentrated in the front five or six rows, and they rushed forward step by step against the door panels.This trick did play a lot of roles, although the bullet could penetrate the door panel.But to hurt the soldiers hiding behind, at least two or three bullets.Now the Huaxing Army's bullets are becoming more and more seriously consumed, and more than 5,000 rifles are pulling the bolt back and forth.The muzzle bullets were fired one after the other, and the cartridge casings splattered to the ground."
Brother Ji, it's not okay to go on like this, the ammunition consumption is too serious" Guo Songtao looked around with the binoculars, and said bitterly to Zuo Zongtang again and again."
yes, we have to find a way to get rid of these shieldmen."
Zuo Zongtang also frowned, and suddenly shouted, "Brother Guo, don't we still have more than a hundred boxes of grenades, we haven't used this thing yet, why don't you try it today" "Yes, yes, why don't I forget about this" Guo Songtao patted his head, suddenly remembered that there was still this thing, and hurriedly asked people to carry these hundred boxes of grenades from the city to the city wall.Although there was a grenade throwing class in the drill, the two of them didn't take the iron lump seriously.The cost of hand grenades is low, so the Nanjing Military Factory produces tens of thousands of grenades in batches.The two of them thought that this thing was in trouble, so they threw it and threw it not far, and they blew up their own people if they didn't get it right.So every time a material is declared, only mortar shells are requested.Although Zuo Zongtang didn't know the power of this thing, he relied on explosives to blow up the shells and hurt people with flying shrapnel."
Stop shooting" Zuo Zongtang hurriedly asked the herald to order in order to save ammunition.He planned to wait for the army to get closer, and then condescendingly strike at the shield men.Although the soldiers who rushed in front of the city wall fell, they were soon overwhelmed by the crowd.More than 50,000 people, even if there are thousands of injuries, are completely unmoving."
Chong, Huaxingjun has no bullets.Kill into the city, the commander will be rewarded" The generals howled, thinking that the Huaxing army had run out of bullets, and all of them were excited and their morale soared."
One hundred meters, eighty meters, fifty meters" The Xiong Zijun got closer and closer, and finally after rushing into fifty meters, Zuo Zongtang waved the order flag in his hand to the soldier holding the grenade."
Whew, whew, whew, whew" At one time, thousands of grenades flew from the city wall into a parabolic shape and fell at the feet of the shield soldiers.At first, Xiong Zijun saw that there was something black on the city wall and smashed down, and thought that the Huaxing army was running out of ammunition and food, so they began to use stones instead, but this stone was too small.Some curious soldiers also picked up the iron lump and watched curiously."
Boom, boom, boom" Before the soldiers of the Xiongzi Army could make fun of it, the iron bump let out a deafening burst.In an instant, wailing, screaming, and screaming mingled.Smoke of gunpowder was everywhere, sand and gravel were splashed, and shrapnel flew sideways.The bullet casings, which originally had a killing area of more than 10 meters, were so dense that dozens of people fell in pools of blood every time they exploded."
There are ghosts, retreat, retreat" The soldiers howled, thinking that the Huaxing army had tried the evil method, where could they still take care of the shield.Throwing it on the ground, he quickly turned his head and stepped back with empty hands.Zuo Zongtang took this opportunity to let the machine guns that had already been prepared on the city wall all open fire.Yesterday, five machine guns were removed from each of the machine gun teams deployed in the east and west directions.A total of twenty machine guns erupted tongues of fire from the walls, and bullets crackled into the dense crowd.In an instant, the rain of bullets poured and raged.Once it comes into contact with the human body, it is a big trauma.Blood splattered, skin peeled.The crowd collapsed and retreated, and it was not until after retreating two hundred meters that the machine guns stopped their wild sweep.The battlefield, which had not been cleaned yesterday, was once again covered with a layer of corpses.The two armies met, and in just half an hour, tens of thousands of people fell in a pool of blood.Chen Feixiong watched angrily and anxiously from behind, and was about to rush into the city when he saw it, and in the end, only fifty meters were left and he collapsed.Li Chendian was even more depressed, and he had already prepared the soldiers.Once the Xiongzi army enters the city, the strength of the Huaxing army will inevitably be pulled to the south city.In this way, you can attack the northern city directly and win the victory with the least cost.After the Xiongzi army broke up, it was only at dusk that it was able to assemble.Chen Feixiong summoned all the generals who led the troops, and reprimanded them loudly, scolding them for squirting blood."
Retreat, retreat, retreat, retreat from Guizhou to Yunnan.Damn you, are you going to do anything else but retreat" The generals all bowed their heads and were silent, their faces full of shame."
Marshal, it's not that the small ones don't work hard, it's really that the Huaxing Army will use evil arts, and if you throw it down with an iron bump, you can turn into a demon and kill people" Wu Changxin, the commander of the left army, finally couldn't help complaining, and the other generals followed suit."
Yes, Marshal, the generals can see it clearly.The iron lump first emitted a puff of white smoke, and then the demon burst out.If it weren't for the great fate of the last generals, they would have been killed by that evil spirit. ”"Evil ghost" Chen Feixiong's eyes widened in disbelief, he was standing behind Gao Gao and looked through a telescope, and he did see the Huaxing army on the city wall throwing things down the city.Listening to what these generals said, I also had some doubts."
That's right, Sir.Judging from the last general, the Huaxing army must have put the evil ghost in this iron lump.Then as soon as it was thrown down, the demon was released.We must find a way to restrain this evil ghost, otherwise the brothers will fight all out, and they will not be able to enter the city" Wu Changxin saw that Chen Feixiong was a little suspicious, and hurriedly added."
Then what do you say" Chen Feixiong spread his hands, he would fight, but he really couldn't catch ghosts."
Don't panic, when you will be in Guangzhou at the end of that year, you will also follow Governor Lin Zexu to fight against foreigners.That's a foreigner, and it's a witchcraft.You can't even blow it up with shells.The Governor asked us to collect the menstrual blood of the women and splash it on the foreign devils.Don't say it, it's really broken the demon law of foreigners. ”Wu Changxin added fuel and vinegar to the nonsense, and in order to convince Chen Feixiong, he also moved out Lord Lin Zexu."
Yes, yes, Wu Junshuai's method is feasible, and our hometown also often uses women's filth to exorcise evil spirits" The generals nodded their heads in agreement, agreeing with Wu Changxin's method."
Then you mean that even if you get these filth, do you want to splash it on Hua Xingjun" Chen Feixiong frowned, his mind was a little unable to turn, and he looked at Wu Changxin suspiciously."
The marshal misunderstood, we only need to wait after Huaxingjun threw down the iron lump.Splash the filth on the iron lump, so that you can break the demon law of the Huaxing Army. ”Wu Changxin swore a word, and he said it in a good way."
Okay, this matter will be handed over to your left army.If you launch a siege battle tomorrow, you can only succeed and not fail" Chen Feixiong handed over the matter to Wu Changxin with the attitude of believing it rather than believing it."
Yes, the commander will guarantee that he will desperately take Qujing City tomorrow" The generals shouted in unison, and they went down to reorganize their troops and horses to prepare for war.Qujing City was broken, and Zuo Zongtang and Guo Songtao had just counted the ammunition.At most, it can only last for a day, and if there is no reinforcement after tomorrow, it will really be necessary to fight with bayonets.The sun is setting in the west, and the battlefield seems to have the sound of Jin Ge's iron horse echoing.A gust of wind whined like the wail of tens of thousands of dead souls."
Brother Ji Gao, do you really want to insist here, if Liu Kunyi and the supply army don't come, we will have to face hundreds of thousands of New Han troops" Guo Songtao looked at the battlefield in front of him and asked with a sad heart."
Brother Guo, the plan formulated by the president to attack the southwest is the only one that we have fought the most unsmoothly.If we retreat, we will be even more unstable in New China in the future. ”Zuo Zongtang confided from the bottom of his heart that now he and Guo Songtao's interests are the same, and there is nothing to hide."
Yes, if we don't have military merits, we really can't stand in the Huaxing Army.I heard that the president has begun to reorganize the Huaxing Army, and every army commander is awarded according to his military merits," Guo Songtao nodded, and revealed the inside information he had learned."
So, Brother Guo.The southwest must be defeated by our brothers, no matter how strong the opponent is, we must not retreat" Zuo Zongtang stretched out his right hand with a resolute face, and held it tightly with Guo Songtao."
Brothers work together, work together to break gold" The two shouted in unison, and laughed heroically in the sunset
