On the night of the first day of the attack on Xinjiang Town, Chen Mu led his troops to spend time in the village in Beishan of Xinjiang Town.

Yesterday, Beishan was the first to be pacified, and they captured the cottage for an hour, and the sky was dark before a cannon rang out from Nanshan. Originally, Chen Mu still thought that this battalion was nothing more than that, and the results of the battle were not as fast as their guards, who knew that Deng Zilong's battalion soldiers were sent to each other at night to say that they had lost casualties, and Deng Zilong's battalion soldiers were only killed or wounded.

In addition to the armament of the battalion with two cannons, the firearms are on par with Bai Yuanjie's, and there are not as many birds as them. With the same hit, the casualties were lower than theirs, and it was worth the extra time.

Later, Chen Mu learned that Deng Zilong did not storm the cottage, but found a place in the mountain that was easy to ambush, and led them out to annihilate them in one fell swoop.

They fought quickly, but Xinjiang Town under the mountain was not so easy to pacify, and the shouting and killing continued until the first half of the night last night. Even if it was dark, Wu Duan led the crowd to fight the enemy twice, and both times he almost captured Xinjiang Town, but he fell short and could only withdraw from Xinjiang Town in the end.

The early morning fog woke Chen Mu up early, and sleeping in clothes made him feel slimy and uncomfortable, scratching his back with an irritable face and walking around the cottage, it didn't take long to see Shao Tingda also walked out of the resting room with the same expression, and asked after seeing Chen Mu: "Brother Mu, it's so early!" ”

Beishan is very beautiful, looking north from the top of the mountain, that is the direction of Qingxi in Shaozhou Prefecture, and the Beijiang River is like a blue belt separating the mountains. In the distance, through the hazy mountain fog, the Xinjiang Bridge is bathed in the first rays of sunlight.

In the silent forest, the sunlight pierced the hazy fog and made pillars of light through the branches and leaves. The fresh earthy air penetrating the tip of his nose may make Chen Mu's annoyance much better - because this is just a fantasy.

If it weren't for the hundreds of corpses piled up outside the cottage that didn't have time to dig a pit and bury them just one night, if it weren't for the smell of blood that still poured into his nose at night through two layers of linen, if it weren't for the fact that there was an even more tragic battle waiting for him at the bottom of the mountain.

It was supposed to be a really fucking good morning!

Damn the rebels!

Damn Li Yayuan!

"There are too many insects in the mountains, and I can't sleep because of itching, and I wake up so wet in the morning." Chen Mu said that Shao Tingda nodded vigorously, obviously also suffering from mountain insects. At this time, when it was time for the night flag army to change guards, Shao Tingda pointed to the Franco cannon and said: "Brother Mu, you have another cannon to wake everyone up, and it is estimated that the mountain should attack the town again." ”

Chen Mu thought about it, and walked towards the Fulong machine gun.

Yesterday evening, this bronze cannon was brought up by the barbarian army, and Chen Mu fired a few shots into the town under the professor of Deng Zilong's artillery guard. In these years, firearms, regardless of whether they are guns or guns, are the same, and it is very easy to shoot out the shells, but the process of loading is more complicated.

But it's too hard to get it right.

Chen Mu is already very proficient in calculating with guns, but he can only achieve accurate shooting within thirty steps, and aim at a target as big as a person within fifty steps, and he is sure that he will hit eight shots out of ten; More than seventy paces, he has to weigh and weigh, if it is close to a hundred paces or a hundred paces away? Chen Junye doesn't even need to weigh it - follow fate.

At this distance, the accuracy that can be improved by individual skills is very small, basically close to the upper limit of the accuracy of the bird's gun, and it is difficult to improve it again.

Artillery, too, except that the range of acceptable accuracy is greater because the shells are large and the targets are usually large.

There are not many sergeants who woke up in the cottage, Chen Mu walked to the front of the Francophone and was about to observe the town, when he suddenly saw that the town was full of people in the clouds, as if there was a dense army marching, and then looked at the Wuduan camp and was very quiet, obviously sleeping, which made him suddenly feel excited, hurriedly adjusted the angle of the gun, and shouted to Shao Tingda: "Torches, get the torches quickly!" ”

The rebels in Xinjiang Town want to sneak attack in the early morning!

Changing the gun and inserting the lead, the process was used by Chen Mu quickly, and after completing these, he grabbed the torch and stretched it far away to ignite the lead, and then ran to the side.

I just ran a few steps when there was a bang behind me!

Rumble!

Chen Mu almost flattened the Franc cannon, aimed at the halfway point of Nanshan Mountain diagonally opposite, ignited the lead, and the cannonball drew a parabola in the air, falling straight towards Xinjiang Town, which was nearly a thousand steps away.

He didn't know how to fire the cannon, but he knew the parabola and the reference, and yesterday he had already written down the approximate landing point of the cannonballs on several cliffs on Nanshan, so this cannon landed almost without any suspense a hundred and ten steps outside the gate of Xinjiang Town, and accurately smashed into the scattered queue of the rebels' sneak attack.

Xinjiang Town was five miles away, and was woken up by a cannon, as if the morning fog in the mountains had dispersed a little because of the gunsmoke.

"Reload!"

Shao Tingda is stronger than Chen Mu, and it is not difficult to lift the ear of the gun, Chen Mu has just put on his armor to remove the reddened gun and dredge the gun chamber, and he has already installed the new gun.

Seeing that the enemy army was still running in a panic and did not leave that place, Chen Mu immediately lit a fire and bombarded it again.

At this time, not only the barbarian battalion sergeants and the banner army under his command who were resting in the cottage were awakened by the sound of artillery, but even the Deng Zilong battalion soldiers on the South Mountain also fired artillery at Xinjiang Town under the mountain after Chen Mu made the first cannon sound.

Bai Yuanjie walked to Chen Mu's side with his helmet and armor, looked down the mountain and asked, "Is there a fight?" ”

"Thousand households!" Seeing Bai Yuanjie coming over, Chen Mu asked the Kai Forang machine gun to hand over to Deng Zilong's gunner, and said: "The enemy army in Xinjiang Town is going to attack the Wuduan military camp, and now that they are fighting in one place, the leader of Wu seems to be guarding the village. ”

"Guarding the village, he still has less than 2,000 people, and it is enough to defend the village, but it is difficult to win." Bai Yuanjie raised his hand to grind his beard under his chin, waved his hand and said to the banner soldiers of the barbarian camp: "Flag to Deng General, cut off and attack!" ”

After breaking off, it is the enemy's back road that is naturally broken, and after being in the army for half a year, Chen Mu can also understand a lot of words in military affairs, not to mention that there is a flag in the memory of his master, he immediately asked: "Qianhu, we want to attack?" ”

Bai Yuanjie nodded, ordered the barbarian battalion to assemble with the banner army and the township brave, and said to Chen Mu: "Xinjiang Town must be captured today, otherwise the night will be long and dreamy, if Li Yayuan of Heyuan receives the news to bring in the army to help, he will not be able to take Xinjiang Town, and there is no danger of defending it." ”

The re-replenished Chen Mubu banner army plus more than 80 people from the township Yonghe, and the barbarian battalion still had more than 400 sergeants in their early 400s despite the losses.

Of course, Bai Yuanjie didn't forget to send someone down from the mountain road to inform Wu Duan, who was sticking to the camp. At the same time, Deng Zilong recognized Bai Yuanjie's suggestion and led his troops from Nanshan to the east of Xinjiang Town.

The two soldiers and horses of the north and south mountains hurried towards the same destination, and Wu Duan's army entrenched in the camp to resist the rebels who had intensified their attack due to the discovery of the sneak attack.

Attacking the camp for more than an hour, seeing that the camp could not be attacked for a long time, the rebels were tired, and they were waiting to advance and retreat, Wu Duan actually led the army to open the door and abandon the camp from the back of the camp, obviously showing defeat, this move made the morale of the rebels who were about to collapse rise again, and the soldiers were all like rainbows, leading the army to pursue Wu Duan.

And more than 20 miles behind them, under the reinforced archway at the east entrance of Xinjiang Town, two armies from Qingcheng and the Guangdong battalion converged and launched an attack on Xinjiang Town from behind!
