Chapter 10 But that's it
After the shooting, Lin Ziran didn't see his target fall!
At a distance of more than three hundred meters, it is not so easy to hit, but it doesn't matter, this time it is not him who shoots alone, but twenty people who start shooting one after another.
The crisp gunfire continued to sound, and when the white smoke rose, the Guang'an rebels outside the city were unconcerned at first, but soon, the artillery commander in front found that his men were being hit one after another.
Is there a hunter in the field ahead?
Or was it really shot by them from the top of the city?
It's not normal, it's not reasonable!
When he was stunned, Lin Ziran had already led the bandits under his command to fight three or four rounds one after another.
The Minnie rifle and reload and rate of fire were no different from the smoothbore gun, and the rate of fire was basically maintained at two to three rounds per minute.
From the time Lin Ziran fired the first shot, it has actually been less than two minutes until now, but the artillery of these Guang'an rebels outside the city has already hit five people.
Don't think that these five people are less, these two artillery groups combined, there are only about a dozen people, and these five people can be said to have been killed by a third.
This casualty rate was so terrifying that the remaining artillerymen involuntarily hid behind the artillery!
When their artillery commander, a corporal officer, was targeted and hit by Lin Ziran, the artillerymen finally couldn't hold on, and ran back.
After seeing the enemy's two artillery groups collapse, and even the artillery was directly thrown down and retreated, Lin Ziran at the head of the city finally breathed a sigh of relief!
The continuous shooting just now made him highly concentrated, although it was only a short two minutes, it made him feel as if he had been coming for hours, and after putting down the gun, Lin Ziran turned around and looked around at his subordinates behind!
At this time, the sun shone on Lin Ziran's body, dazzling that people couldn't look at Lin Ziran directly.
Luo Mazi suddenly stepped forward and said loudly: "In front of the big boss, their Guang'an rebels are nothing more than that!" ”
"The big boss is mighty, and the little ones used to hear them say how powerful the Guang'an rebels were, and they thought they really had three heads and six arms, but in front of the big bosses, they were just a bunch of fools!"
"That's it, I've never seen such a stupid person, just stand there and let us fight, if it was Lao Tzu, we would have run away a long time ago!"
"Yes, I think back then, as soon as Lao Tzu saw someone shooting at me, he immediately ran away, even if they used their strength to eat, they didn't catch up with Lao Tzu!"
Listening to these people's words, Lin Ziran didn't care, and didn't criticize them at all for fleeing when they encountered the enemy!
They are bandits, and it's normal for officers and soldiers to run away when they meet them!
Of course, if it is their own side that has the upper hand, then they will scream and not pay attention to the officers and soldiers, just like now.
To put it bluntly, it's just a bunch of guys who can only fight with the wind!
Now, they have Mini rifles in hand, which caught the Guang'an rebels by surprise and greatly stimulated their self-confidence.
This is a good thing, and it is very important for the subsequent defensive operations.
At first, Lin Ziran was a little out of shape, but now he has calmed down again, and now he needs to think about the follow-up deployment problem, even if it was a wave just now, killing and injuring five Guang'an rebels.
But the total strength of these Guang'an rebels, to say the least, is more than 300 people, and these people are still regular troops, if they launch a direct charge to attack the city, they want to hold Qingshan Town is still very reluctant.
What Lin Ziran hopes now is to be able to suppress the Guang'an rebels outside the city first, so that they can throw rat traps and dare not come forward.
As long as he can survive for a while, then he will be able to get more modified Mini rifles, and then he will have a chance to defend Qingshan Town and save his life.
As Lin Ziran expected, at this time, the Guang'an rebels outside the city obviously felt threatened, an unknown threat!
Their artillery crew had been hit almost devastating at a distance of more than 300 meters, something they could not imagine, and they did not know what they would encounter if they continued to advance.
Among the Guang'an rebels, a middle-aged officer in the lead looked at the head of Qingshan Town in front of him, and then looked at the two artillery pieces left in front of him, and frowned!
Although he still couldn't believe it, through the monoculars in his hand, he could clearly see that it was the defenders at the head of the city who directly killed and injured his own artillery by shooting.
When did the musket be able to hit so far?
If you continue to attack rashly, I am afraid that your own troops will be greatly damaged before they reach the city wall.
And more importantly, attacking Qingshan Town is not his task!
His mission was to lead his cavalry around and attack the supply lines behind the main force of the Luo'an army, creating more opportunities for his own army on the frontal battlefield.
When passing through Qingshan Town, I thought that I would take this Qingshan Town easily, replenish some food, and let my sons and daughters make a windfall by the way, but I didn't expect to encounter hard stubble here.
Continue to storm Castle Peak Town?
The risk is a bit big, and most importantly, even if you conquer this Qingshan Town, I'm afraid your own casualties will not be small.
His men are the most elite cavalry, and they can't be consumed under the walls of such a remote town.
But if you let him lead the army to retreat directly, he is also a little unwilling!
When the Guang'an rebel cavalry outside the city hesitated, Lin Ziran at the head of the city also saw Wang Jinqian!
According to common sense, Wang Jinqian, the town guard, should have appeared on the city gate tower as soon as possible, but Lin Ziran hadn't seen him at all before.
Not only was Wang Jinqian nowhere to be seen, but even the officers and soldiers under his command were nowhere to be seen, and Lin Ziran thought they were hiding at first.
But what I didn't expect was that a fake soldier on the side quietly stepped forward and whispered in Lin Ziran's ear: "A brother reported that the people who guarded the town just wanted to change their clothes and escape, but they were driven back by the cavalry of the Guang'an rebels just a few hundred meters out of the city gate, and they also killed and injured a few people!" ”
After listening to it, Lin Ziran looked at Wang Jinqian and them again, and sure enough, he found that these people were not quite right!
It looks quite embarrassing, it seems that it has experienced a fight, and several people have colors on them!
When Lin Ziran heard this, he showed a hint of worry, he was not worried about this Wang Zhenshou, but worried about the Guang'an rebels outside.
This Wang Zhenshou failed to run away, which also means that his previous judgment was accurate.
Facing the cavalry of the Guang'an rebels, it was impossible to escape in the open terrain nearby, even if it was not easy to run out even if they changed the clothes of the people.
However, if you can't defend this Qingshan Town, you will definitely have to run away at that time.
As for the idea of dedicating the city to Chengcheng, since those damned Guang'an natives bombarded Lin Ziran, they have been completely abandoned by Lin Ziran.
The dignified travelers will definitely not compromise with these Guang'an natives!
Unless......
