Chapter 689: A Bloody Case Caused by a Fire

Both sides have been loaded with bullets, ready to fire at any time, the distance between each other is only fifty or sixty steps, is the best range of firearms, this distance as long as the shot is aimed at the crowd, the hit rate can reach more than ninety percent, and there is almost no possibility of being hit alive, it can be said that either you die or I live, compared to the cold weapon confrontation just now, this kind of scene is even more tense to suffocation.

Chang Kun has been urging the Shenji Battalion staff general to make a move, and the staff general said with a sad face: "Chang Gonggong, if you really want to do it, the other side will definitely not sit still, and will definitely fight back. ”

Chang Kun was stunned for a moment, he just wishfully thought that the other party would not dare to make a move, but the dog jumped over the wall when he was in a hurry, who dared to guarantee that the other side would not fight back? If you really want to shoot firearms, it's really not safe to stand in front. But he didn't want to hide behind as a shrunken turtle.

He thought for a while, called the two little eunuchs who traveled with him, let them stand in front of him, serve as meat shields, and then said to the general: "Scare and scare them again, it is best to be able to tie up your hands, otherwise, ......" He rolled his eyes a few times and made up his mind, "Otherwise, shoot!" However, before you shoot, you should go back and give the order before you give the order, and we will retreat to the back. After calling the formation, he hid behind in full view of everyone, Chang Kun couldn't afford to lose this person, but once he fired, the loud noise attracted everyone's attention, and he could take advantage of the moment when the opposite side had not yet reacted, quietly retreated and hid in a safe place.

The general couldn't, so he turned around and shouted to the other side: "Listen to the people on the other side, you'd better be obedient and captured, otherwise we will shoot......

On Qiongjun's side, Wei Lian asked for instructions from Xia Nan: "General, it seems that the opposite side will open fire at any time, how should we deal with it?" "It's impossible to be caught, but if the other side really does it, you have to try to deal with it, and you can't stand up to the gun.

Xia Nan thought for a while: "Dogs that can bark don't bite, and they may not dare to shoot, otherwise they won't be so babbling, it is estimated that the dead eunuch is bluffing, and we will not move for the time being." If they are really mad and dare to make a move, they will fight back as long as they hear the gunshots on the other side! Aren't they extremely slow to reload, and even if they fire the first shot, we should be able to suppress it, right? ”

Wei Lianheng nodded: "I have seen this kind of bird gun supervised by the Ministry of War, and when it comes to firing one shot, our Qionghai-style rifle can fire three shots!" As far as these old soldiers of the Shenji Battalion are concerned, three salvos are enough to collapse their entire battalion. ”

"Then give the order, and as soon as the guns are fired, counterattack, and after three volleys the bayonets charge. Remember, only fight the Divine Machine Battalion and spare the men and horses from the south. ”

"My subordinates understand."

The order was whispered, regiment to battalion, battalion to company, company to platoon, platoon to squad, and in a few moments the whole army knew what to do later: as soon as the guns were heard from the opposite side, the whole army opened fire, fired three volleys, and then charged with bayonets.

Under Wei Lianheng's dispatch, the formation of the Qiong Navy was also adjusted. The phalanx of the 3rd and 4th Battalions, which were at the two corners in front, turned into a double row and formed a line, blocking the Guards Battalion and Xia Nan and others, while the 1st and 2nd Battalions, which had been seriously attritioned in the Battle of Qiuyushan, were on guard in the rear.

To the south, in front of the array of Chihe Battalion, Zhenwu Battalion, and Jichuan Guard, Wang Xuan couldn't help but say to Xu Hongji: "Wei Guogong, this Chang Kun doesn't know which tendon is wrong, I have to be so serious, once this fires, things can't be cleaned up, we have to find a way to stop it......"

"You can't stop it. Both sides are firearms, we can't let the soldiers separate them with flesh and blood, and Chang Kun bites the righteous name of protecting the palace, so it's not easy for us to say anything. Xu Hongji touched his beard and looked at Chang Kun in the distance suspiciously, "I just think it's strange, with Chang Eunuch's unprofitable temperament, when did he become such a loyal minister?" Could it be that he had a holiday with this general soldier from Guangdong? But one is in Nanjing and the other is in Guangdong, separated by 108,000 miles, it's impossible......"

Xu Hongji naturally didn't know that his casual guess was actually the answer closest to the truth. If he and Wang Xuan knew that this eunuch was using public weapons for private purposes and used the Shenji Battalion to avenge his personal revenge, he would definitely jointly order the recapture of the command of the Shenji Battalion, and then jointly play a joint petition to ask the Holy Lord to remove him from his post as a eunuch.

Just when the two of them didn't know how to deal with the current situation, a crisp gunshot suddenly sounded, "Bah! ”

Wang Xun and Xu Hongji were shocked, looked in the direction where the gunfire came from, and saw the general of the Shenji Battalion jumping up and down, brandishing his saber and shouting hoarsely: "Who fired the gun without an order?" Who the hell is it? ”

In the crowd, a soldier of the Shenji Battalion stared blankly at his bird's gun, which was facing the sky, and curling green smoke was coming out. The conscience of heaven and earth, he didn't want to be in the limelight, he was really just going crazy.

As soon as the gunshot rang out, Chang Kun, who was still arrogant just now, immediately hugged his head and ran desperately to the rear, and the two little eunuchs followed with difficulty. Chang Kun didn't know that it was this greedy character that allowed him to get his life back by luck.

The confrontation with loaded guns made the soldiers on both sides very nervous, and the atmosphere was tense like a powder keg, which would explode at one point. The sound of the gun became the ignition of the crisis, and the Joan naval soldiers, who had long been ready to shoot after receiving the order, did not hesitate to pull the trigger.

"Boom, boom", the gunfire was loud, and the dense lead bullets flew like raindrops towards the Shenji Battalion. The poor soldiers of the Shenji Battalion did not receive the order, they couldn't react, and they were so close that before they could shoot back, the queue of hundreds of soldiers in the front row was instantly disabled.

Nanjing, the capital of the Ming Dynasty, for the first time since the Jingjing Change, gunshots rang out, and it was at Hongwu Gate, not far from the Forbidden City, the heart of the city.

Wang Xuan was dumbfounded, opened his arms and shouted, "No! He seemed to see his future fate: as the secretary of the military department, he could not prevent the two officers and soldiers who belonged to the same imperial court from merging outside the Forbidden City, were removed from their official positions, and then escorted to the Beijing Division, put in prison, and waited for the emperor's ruling.

In the thick smoke, the soldiers of the Joan Navy did not hesitate to fire three volleys, and the Shenji battalion was completely blinded, and there were only sporadic counterattacks, but they could not stop the fire of the two battalions at all, and more than half of the losses were lost, and the soldiers in the back row turned around and prepared to flee. The situation was as Wei Lianheng expected, after three rounds of volleys, everyone collapsed.

Before all of them could retreat, Qiong Haijun had already raised his rifles, flashed his bright bayonets, and rushed forward in great stride.
