One hundred and twelve, attack Cobb
In Tianzhu, any language of the British is the law, and the natives cannot be allowed - Rao is this natives officer is also a noble Kshatriya, but the British little soldier speaks like this, he can no longer refute, so he can only bow his head and listen to the British soldiers bragging about their heroic and invincible past, the weather is very hot these days, there is no wind, the woods outside the city are quiet, suddenly, the birds in the woods flocks flew up in horror, many trees in the woods are shaking, The face of the native officer with a white cloth bag wrapped around his head changed greatly, he rushed to the edge of the city wall, leaned against the wall and looked outside the city, and sure enough, he saw a group of strangely dressed mermaids gushing out of the woods, looking at the color of the banner, it was undoubtedly Chinese.
"The Chinese are here again!" The native officer shouted, "Be on guard! ”
"What!" The British soldier climbed up barefoot, ignoring the very hot city walls exposed to the sun, and rushed to take a look, and suddenly Shicai's heroic and invincible expression was swept away, and he saw the Chinese soldiers who seemed to have some momentum all over the mountains, etc., and instead had a look of horror, "These damn yellow-skinned monkeys, why are they coming to Cobb City again, there are no supplies here!" ”
"Honorable lord," at this time the siren sound had spread throughout the city, the native soldiers were very frightened, but under the command of the officers, panicked but still somewhat orderly began the defensive work, the native officer said to the British soldiers, "Please come and preside over our defense of the city immediately, you and your distinguished colleagues have very superb musket shooting skills, if used properly, you will definitely be able to stop these Chinese!" ”
"That's right, that's right!" The British soldier scolded his mother, turned around and ran down the city, "These damn Chinese, thinking of fighting head-on, they are not powerful enough to compare with the heroic and invincible soldiers of the British Empire!" ”
The Chinese all over the mountains slowly flocked to Cobb City from the woods, the woods were dusty, it seemed that there were millions of troops lurking in the woods, Cobb City had fallen in the end, the city did not dare to arrange more soldiers, Marbury sent a hundred people here to garrison, although only a few soldiers were on the city wall to watch, but at this time they were all raised, a hundred people were solemnly waiting, they were guarding the city, seeing that there were many menacing people here, the commander did not dare to slacken, and quickly put all eighty people here, Be sure to repel the Chinese quickly, "Give the Chinese a hard blow!" The British commander blushed with excitement, "Three rows of rotational shooting, be sure to give these sinister and cunning Chinese some faces!" ”
This is the grandeur of the world's first power, although there seem to be a lot of people outside the city, there are many people in the dense forest, and there seems to be an army of millions, but the British are not timid at all, but their blood is boiling, the commander put down the binoculars, looked at the Indian indigenous soldiers behind him, and spat out, "Useless waste, it is really an inferior race!" ”
Although the Chinese came slowly, they had already reached the city far away, and the general at the head waved his hand and also dispatched several rows of musketeers, "Shoot!" ”
The musket thumped, and a series of white smoke came out under the city wall and on the city wall, and both sides were shooting tentatively, but the Chinese shot fiercely beyond the preparation of the British on the city wall, and for a time the British were actually suppressed by the line of fire and could not raise their heads, and the British behind the wall buttress spat out the dust in their mouths, "How can these Chinese have such fierce firepower!" ”
The city gate has long been closed, the original peaceful scene disappeared at this time, the British commander hurriedly gave orders, at this time he regretted not bringing a small artillery, originally thought that the musket was enough, but did not expect these Chinese to have such fierce firepower, "all on alert," the commander said loudly, "prepare for the Chinese to attack the city!" ”
The Chinese slowly relied on the volley of muskets to slowly close the distance between them and Cobb City, and in addition to the musketeers, there were also people carrying siege equipment and other items, and it seemed that a big battle was about to break out between the musketeers.
Xue Pan hid in the woods, saw the scene on this side, and nodded again and again, "I don't know much about military activities, but looking like this, I am full of tigers and tigers, and I don't lose to the British in the city at all, don't you say?" ”
He was followed by the members of Class B, "It's really good," Li Man nodded, "It's just that some people, I don't know how, they seem to be quite afraid of the sound of guns, no, a few people have already fled back." ”
Xue Pan frowned, "This escape from the battle can't be spared!" Disciplinary Committee, how to deal with it? ”
"They should be beheaded according to military law," Ma Zhiyuan said immediately, "I will order them to be dealt with immediately." ”
Xue Pan was a little surprised, "Isn't this too serious?" ”
"Although Minfu is not a soldier, as long as he is on the battlefield, he naturally has no casual reason," Ma Zhiyuan said coldly and quietly, "If the big guys have fled, how can they attack the city here?" ”
Ma Zhiyuan was appointed as a member of the disciplinary committee, so he naturally has the right to govern the enforcement of military law, Xue Pan thought for a while, "If you think about it as a first offense, you don't have to do it, arrest them first, scare them, say that they will be beheaded, scare the big guys, this is the first offense, bypass it first, and punish it severely next time." ”
Xue Pan said this, Ma Zhiyuan naturally obeyed the order, Xue Panfu observed this battle again, the Sichuan soldiers and the people gradually approached the city wall, and began to attack the city almost hand-to-hand combat, at this time there began to be some casualties, Xue Pan was busy with Lu Lianshan, "Prepare white cloth medicine and other things, wait to treat the wounded!" ”
Cao Cheng carefully looked at the heads on the city wall, "The number of the British is almost here, and Commissar Jin can launch it." ”
Xue Pan nodded, the herald behind him took out a cannonball, lit it with a fire fold, and made a loud noise to the air with a "chirp", the besiegers seemed to hear the order, shouted, and slowly began to retreat, Rao was in a state of retreat, still facing Cobb City, in order to prevent the British from taking advantage of the victory to pursue.
When the British saw this on Cobb City, they couldn't help but be a little confused, the Chinese just began to attack the city, why did they suddenly retreat, could it be that there was some trickery? The British troops were ready to go down to the city in pursuit, but were stopped by the commander. "The Chinese are the most insidious and cunning, we must be vigilant!"
Sure enough, the British commander guessed correctly, and the Chinese retreated to the edge of the woods, and seeing that the British did not move, the musketeers and the people marched towards Cobb again.
