Chapter 13: The Boss and the Boss
Without Lin Ziran by his side, it obviously made several other marksmanship masters more open, and there were crisp gunshots intermittently from the city, and sometimes you could hear a hit or something like that.
By the middle of the afternoon, the Guang'an rebels on the opposite side had shrunk!
Because after a few hours, they have already suffered seven casualties.
Don't look at the seven people are small, but for a team of only more than 300 people, it is already a lot, not to mention that they also killed and injured five people yesterday, and one was injured in the morning.
That adds up to thirteen.
What's more critical is that this state of being beaten alone and unable to fight back makes the Guang'an rebels outside the city extremely uncomfortable.
So, they shrunk!
Later, they dug the traffic trench deeper and dug more than two meters.
At this time, Luo Mazi and the others in the city have no choice, and they don't even have their heads, so naturally they can't talk about fighting.
It's just that in this way, the amount of work has also come up, and Lin Ziran estimates that they can't dig it today, and what they have to prepare now is to wait for their communication trenches and artillery positions to be repaired after tomorrow, and then pull the artillery up again and how to resist the shelling.
As for how to resist the enemy's artillery bombardment, Lin Ziran still decided to focus on accurately hitting the opponent's artillery with Mini rifles.
Even if the other side digs out the artillery position, but their artillery needs to be aimed and shelled, and their artillery will always show up, after all, their artillery is a direct-aim artillery, and it is not a curved artillery that can hide behind cover.
Therefore, the precision strike of the Mini rifle can still be used.
Other than that, it can only be a reinforced cover passive defense.
In addition to the city walls, sandbags were also needed to build bunkers on the city's head.
For this reason, Lin Ziran asked Wang Jinqian to come over again, and asked him to organize young people to help the soldiers build bunkers, and before tomorrow, a complete anti-artillery bunker must be built.
Wang Jinqian naturally obeyed Lin Ziran's orders.
At this time, as long as you don't let him take the money, everything else is easy.
Besides, organizing the young man to help build the bunker, and he doesn't have to work hard himself, he can just call his throat at most, which is very simple.
So he said very happily: "Lord Lin, please rest assured, the lower officials will definitely let them work hard!" ”
That night, Wang Jinqian personally led a group of his subordinates and a large number of young men to help build a bunker, while Lin Ziran himself also commanded a group of fake soldiers to build a bunker at the head of the city.
Although most of the outside of the city is dark, you can still see a lot of fire, which is the Guang'an rebels using torches to continue digging communication trenches.
It's a pity that they can only see the light of the torches, but they can't see people, and those Guang'an rebels are hiding in the traffic trenches and digging, and they don't show their bodies at all.
This night, both sides were busy building fortifications.
It's just that one is offensive and the other is defensive.
At about eleven o'clock in the morning of the next day, Lin Ziran went to the city again and saw that there was already an artillery position about 400 meters outside the city.
There was cover in front of this artillery position, and only two gun barrels were exposed.
The artillery positions of these Guang'an rebels were still quite well constructed, but Lin Ziran did not find any loopholes.
The expected precision strikes with Mini rifles are hopeless.
It didn't take long for the shelling to begin on the opposite side.
But I saw the shelling, but I didn't see the artillery show up, which made Lin Ziran helpless.
There is no choice but to hide.
In the next time, a group of fake soldiers and bandits at the head of the city, plus more than 100 young people, could only passively hide in the bunker at the head of the city, watching the opposite side calmly open fire.
Cannonballs kept falling on the city walls and city gate towers, and some even hit the city gates, directly bombarding the city gates.
It's just that the city gate hole has long been blocked by Lin Ziran's order, so it doesn't matter if the city gate is smashed!
At this time, some people shouted: "Big boss, they are coming up!" ”
At this time, I saw Lin Ziran frowning!
Madan, who is shouting the big boss at this time?
Wang Jinqian and they are on the side, so they shout big bosses, stupid.
Wang Jinqian glanced at Lin Ziran, revealing a thoughtful expression.
But before he could react, he heard a shout outside: "Boss! ”
As soon as these words came, Wang Jinqian was obviously stunned, and when he turned back, he found that Lin Ziran was looking at him.
It's just that at this time, Lin Ziran was no longer in the mood to care about Wang Jinqian and them, because someone was already shouting: "They rushed up!" ”
Lin Ziran and Wang Jinqian both got up and went to the city together.
When I arrived at the head of the city and looked outside the city, I saw that the Guang'an rebels outside the city were already coming up in groups with guns, and many of them were still holding ladders!
It's clear that they're going to launch a real siege!
Lin Ziran immediately pulled out the command knife on his waist: "The rifled gun fires first, aims and hits, and knocks them back!" ”
"Others prepare!"
In the past few days, Boss Wang has led people to transform day and night, and has successively modified more than 10 rifled guns, and as for the cavity round-headed bullet, it has been non-stop day and night, and more than 3,000 have been melted out.
Now Lin Ziran has 35 rifled guns, each equipped with about 100 rounds of ammunition.
And this batch of Mini rifles is also the key to whether Lin Ziran and others can hold Qingshan Town.
With Lin Ziran's order, more than 30 fake soldiers and bandits with good marksmanship selected during this period of time also began to shoot freely with rifled guns.
Crisp gunshots rang out.
Not surprisingly, some of the Guang'an rebels outside the city fell, although the number was not large, only two or three people, but they had just launched a charge, and they had already fallen two or three people.
And as they continued to get closer, the hit rate of rifled guns also began to rise, and it didn't take long for the Guang'an rebels on the opposite side to fall another seven or eight people.
That's more than ten people.
However, the Guangnan rebels on the opposite side were only more than 300 people in total.
What's more, they are now almost 300 meters away from the city wall.
However, the Guang'an rebels outside the city were also worthy of being regular troops, and after falling ten people, they continued to move forward, continuing to maintain a tight line, and three columns of horizontal formations that were almost crowded forward.
However, when they advanced to about two hundred and fifty meters, the soldiers who rushed to the front finally couldn't help it, involuntarily stopped their steps, and then turned their heads to look at the officers on the horses on the left and right!
Because at this distance, their casualties began to increase significantly, especially in the eyes of the soldiers on the front line, almost every moment there were comrades around them who fell, and the fear of this continuous casualty was even more uncomfortable than being hit by a volley from the other side.
Because after the other side had fired a volley, they knew that they would not be shot for at least twenty seconds or so.
But this kind of free fire, although it seems to be intermittent and has no deterrent effect, in fact, it always brings casualties to them, especially the soldiers in the front row, who can find their comrades being hit and falling almost every moment.
"Cool, it's like hunting!" After Luo Mazi shot a Guang'an rebel, he involuntarily said: "They just stand there like fools and let us fight, and they don't know how to hide!" ”
Lin Ziran didn't answer!
You think that the Guang'an rebels outside the city are bandits like you, and they hide when they see that the situation is not good!
They are regular troops, playing dense line tactics!
You can't hide when you charge, and you can't lie down!
Even when they saw that the situation was wrong, they did not hide, did not lie down, but just turned their heads to look at their officers.
It's a pity that at this time, many soldiers of the Guang'an rebels found that their commander was gone!
Unbeknownst to them, the officers on horseback were so conspicuous that they had been targeted by the bandits defending the city from the beginning, and several officers in the front row had already been killed.
The Guang'an rebels, who could not find officers, continued to be killed and wounded unilaterally, and finally collapsed at this time.
A large number of Quang An rebel soldiers rushed to the rear.
Seeing this scene, Lin Ziran finally breathed a sigh of relief, he was really afraid that the Guang'an rebels on the opposite side were not afraid of death, and rushed all the way up.
Well, now, those Guang'an rebels collapsed on their own initiative because they couldn't bear the continuous casualties.
Putting down the gun in his hand, Lin Ziran immediately said loudly: "Today, all those who participate in the battle will be rewarded, and those who have meritorious service will be rewarded!" ”
The money I got from Wang Jinqian and the big families in the city in the past few days finally came in handy.
Immediately, Luo Mazi quickly stepped forward again: "The adult is mighty, the adult is heroic!" ”
Even Wang Jinqian came up and said with a smile: "My lord, everyone has a share of this reward?" ”
Lin Ziran nodded lightly: "Well, everyone who participates in the war has a share!" ”
After taking one more look at this Wang Jinqian, Lin Ziran remembered the big boss and boss before the battle broke out.
Immediately, he said: "Wang Zhenshou, I heard that you just took office a month ago?" ”
Wang Jinqian paused when he heard this, looked up at Lin Ziran, and said after a few seconds: "I heard that Lord Lin's fifth patrol battalion is from Pingdan County next door?" ”
