The five Wuyi-class warships slowly approached the dock, lined up horizontally on the sea surface a few hundred meters away, and aimed at the dock with the right side, and the gun windows opened one after another. If you have experienced the scene of an attack at sea, you must know what will happen next. However, the officers and men on the ship and the boatmen did not know, they were just like the people on the dock, staring blankly at these high-level warships that they had never seen before.

"Boom, boom", orange flames came out of the cannon window, and 30 pounds of iron balls flew whistling towards these poor merchant ships and fishing boats, the sawdust on the boats flew sideways, huge splashes rose into the sky, and several small fishing boats that were affected fell apart directly, turning into countless wooden planks floating on the water.

The officers and men and the boatmen finally understood, and jumped on the pedal and ran to the shore crying for their fathers and mothers, and some of them jumped directly into the water and swam to the shore in a hurry.

Tang Yunwen stood on the dock, watching the grain ship being hit and flopping sideways, the grain scattered in the water, floating on the surface of the water with the corpse, and then gradually dyed red by blood, and there was only one thought in his heart: "It's over!" ”

Several of his cronies saw that he was still in a daze, so they quickly picked him up and ran away. As soon as he left the dock, a cannonball slammed into the place where he had stood before with a sharp whistling sound, smashing a large crater.

Tang Yunwen saved his life, but the mission failed, and the fleet transporting grain was bombed into slag. When the news reached He Rubin's ears, he could no longer withstand such a series of blows and collapsed. After Lang Zhong who accompanied the army checked his pulse, he said that he was too anxious, his liver was too hot, and the external evil entered the body.

The grain was destroyed, the land and sea grain routes were cut off, and the remaining grain could not be eaten for a few days, and the main general fell ill. This encircled army is in a real crisis.

After urgent discussion with several staff officers with heavy troops and He Rubin's staff, they asked He Rubin on the sickbed for instructions and decided to give up the siege of the thieves and temporarily retreat to Qiongshan.

If He Rubin had not fallen ill and had uniformly arranged the order of retreat of each battalion and the banner of communication, then there would have been rules for retreating. Now there is no personal arrangement by the commander, and all the battalions do not want to be the rear of the palace, and they all want to withdraw first, and after some arguments, the firearms battalion with the disappearance of the commander, the bombing of many artillery pieces, and the failure to make an inch of achievement became this unlucky bastard.

As a general rule, the retreat is in the morning, so as not to be confused and lost by not being able to see the road clearly at night. However, food is scarce, and the first people to retreat can still "raise" food from the prefectures and villages along the way, and those who are later can only drink some leftover soup. In such a state of mind, Chaozhou general Tong Yizhen took the lead in retreating at night, and drank soup on the way back. After hearing the news, Huizhou Counselor Yan Zunhe scolded his mother a few times, and then withdrew overnight.

As soon as the two of their troops withdrew, the other battalions panicked and rushed to pull out the camp. When they arrived, except for the men and horses of the town mark and the firearms battalion behind the palace, the rest were all clean. Sun Changzuo, the town standard guard, jumped like thunder: "These decrepit boys, the town is still here, they dare to go like this, and they will be told to go around without food when they go back!" ”

Although he said this, he also knew in his heart that this encirclement and suppression was a complete defeat, and He Zhentai's position was nine times out of ten, so these generals dared to abandon the coach and run away so unscrupulously.

The staff persuaded one after another, all the battalions retreated, the standard battalion is better to keep up as soon as possible, the lone army is in the rear, will take advantage of the enemy, Sun Changzuo actually does not want to fall behind, but as a town standard general, some things can not be said by himself, seeing that everyone said so, he got off the donkey and promised to pull out the camp overnight. He Rubin was in a coma at this time, but it saved Sun Changzuo's troubles, and he could be said to be in a hurry afterwards.

On the earthen fort, Wei Lianheng was the first to notice the movement of the official and military camp, and the noise never stopped, the continuous torches extended from the camp to the east, and the fire in the camp became more and more sparse.

"The officers and soldiers are going to run!" Wei Lianheng keenly discovered the intentions of the official army.

Xia Nan was woken up and came to the wall of the earth fort to watch, and the officers and soldiers really seemed to be running away. It's no wonder that there is no way to transport grain by land and water, and if you don't evacuate, will you wait to starve to death?

"Do you want to chase it overnight?" Wei Lianheng asked for instructions.

"We have less than a thousand people, and there are still seven or eight thousand people in the officers and soldiers, and it is okay to rely on the fortress defense, but it is too risky to go out to fight, and besides, it is dark at night, and the artillery cannot be aimed." Xia Nan thought about it: "Tomorrow morning, all the people will go out to pursue, and they will not bring heavy artillery, only mountain artillery." ”

"Don't you leave some people to guard the fort? Will the officers and soldiers use tricks to deceive us? ”

Xia Nan waved his hand: "The official army does not have such a strategy and ability!" The officers and soldiers have no intention of fighting, and they have already been born, and it is impossible to kill back the carbines, and there is no need to leave people to defend. Besides, what's the use of keeping one or two hundred people? ”

Li Mo, the general manager of the firearms battalion, spent an extremely difficult night in unwillingness and entanglement. Because of the arrangement for his palace, he could only watch the other battalions open at night, and there was nothing he could do. Although he was unwilling, who made the Hongyi cannon, which had high hopes before the war, so vulnerable in the face of the gunfire of the thieves? He had no confidence to refute.

However, after the firearms battalion, which had lost most of its artillery, was left alone, this arrangement was full of conspiracy, and it was obvious that the firearms battalion had been abandoned, and they were used as cannon fodder to fend for themselves. Although Li Mo can still make up a hundred and ten bird guns, and the Hongyi cannon still has two or three that can be used, can these resist the thieves' fast and accurate cannons and the bird guns that continue to fire?

Li Mo decided, he won't open the pot tomorrow morning to cook, and he will leave as soon as it is dawn, even if he is hungry, and he will talk about it when he arrives in Chengmai County. Without the cooperation of other friendly forces, the firearms battalion faced the thieves alone in the wilderness.

Finally survived until dawn, Li Mo ordered the firearms battalion to prepare the car, pull up a few still usable cannons, and the whole battalion immediately withdrew to Chengmai. The camp was busy for a while, and put the heavy 5,000-pound Hongyi cannon on the ox cart and pushed it onto the post road.

Just as he was about to set off, a figure appeared in the morning mist, and it was vaguely seen that everyone was holding a bird gun, and the spear thorns of the gun head reflected the light in the morning sun, and walked quickly in this direction.

Although as a long-range strike force, the firearms battalion did not attack under the earthen fort and did not meet the escort team at close range, but the other party came from the direction of the earthen fort in the west, holding a bird gun, and the intention was not good, and fools knew who these people were.

The soldiers of the firearms battalion panicked, and without waiting for the order from the superiors, they dropped the artillery and ran away. Li Mo pulled out his waist knife, cut down a soldier who had escaped, and shouted hoarsely: "Go back and set up a cannon, whoever runs again, Lao Tzu will see one and cut one!" Birds, line up to meet the enemy! (To be continued.) Mobile phone users, please browse and read, a better reading experience.
