As the saying goes, good spirits are not bad spirits, don't look at Shi Lidong just said it casually, but there was really a scream in the sky immediately, and the rebels who had already been subjected to two shotgun salvos knew that they couldn't stand here and wait for the shotgun to open a hole in their body, and instantly heard the screams of the rebels in the entire front.

"Run!" "Run!" "Get out of the way!" The shouts came and went, and the crowd was as chaotic as boiling water, and no one cared whether the people around them were their acquaintances, relatives and friends, only knew to wave the knife in their hands and let others not get in their way. At this moment, the officers in the chaos have basically been eliminated by the previous accurate marksman, they have no command, they are in a mess, and they flee outside the coverage area of the shotgun just now.

Shi Lidong was naturally also desperate, his location was in the center of several shotgun salvos, in his thoughts, the front and back had already been strafed, and it should be himself when he came again, so he simply sat down and closed his eyes and waited for death. Soon there was an explosion in the air, followed by the sound of a shrapnel brushing the floor, and the sound of the metal projectile hitting the human body and everything was basically the same, and he couldn't tell the difference, but he didn't seem to feel any pain in his body, and he couldn't help but open his eyes.

If the area he was in before could be called hell, then the scene in front of him was already below the eighteenth floor. To his left and right there was now a large no-man's land—not that there was no one, but that there were few people left alive, and there were dead people and corpses with severed arms everywhere, except for the wounded who were lying wailing on the blood-stained snow. A rebel sat on the ground, holding a flagpole with both hands, on which hung a huge flag with the word "Tuo", which was blown in the cold wind. But if you look closely, the flag has been so baddened by the shotgun that you can barely see the outline.

As the wind increased, the flag was blown more and more powerfully, tilted forward, and dragged the flagpole down with it, but the flag bearer remained motionless in that position. Shi Lidong's mind was completely filled with fear, and the lofty ambitions such as "making meritorious contributions" and "getting rich and marrying a daughter-in-law" instilled in him by the officers before him had long been forgotten at this moment, and there was only one word left in his mind - "escape".

He got up from the snow and looked around for a moment, except for the rabble that had fled to the rear, only one or two people were still standing and did not fall, and everyone stood at a distance and looked at each other for a moment, when suddenly someone shouted, "Run! ”

This shout was like an initiation, Shi Lidong threw a simple knife in his hand to the ground without saying a word, spread his legs and ran away, only the sound of the wind was left in his ears, his eyes were blown into tears by the cold wind, the cotton clothes on his body were leaking everywhere, and he didn't know how many holes there were. There was nothing left for him to interfere with his escape, and as long as he escaped from this hell, then it was worth it.

"Chief, to the northwest, fifteen hundred meters away! There is a case! The special investigator in charge of the school shooting shouted loudly. Yang Muqin opened the car door and jumped down, climbed the wall again, raised the binoculars and looked over there.

The observation and sighting equipment used by the special investigation team is unique in the army, and there are seven times telescopes and ten times telescopes, but what Yang Muqin holds in front of him is not a ten-fold mirror with a long observation distance, but a seven-fold mirror used, although the ten-fold mirror must see farther and clearer, but the field of view of the ten-fold mirror is narrow, and a slight shake of the hand may cause the entire field of vision to shake, making it easy to get dizzy, and the seven-fold mirror is relatively much better, so the binoculars of the special investigation team are basically equipped with seven-fold mirrors, and there are also ten-fold mirrors. However, it is basically necessary to use a special tripod to fix it to prevent the field of view from shaking and making people feel uncomfortable.

The knot is far away, the enemy ball is cold, and the cold is sealed

At this moment, although Yang Muqin didn't feel dizzy, he couldn't see it clearly at all, the crowd in the distance was desperately surging towards the rear, most of the sparse banners were crooked, and many people were directly dragging them to the ground. A little farther away, a large number of rebels had begun to assemble, and these rebels were flying flags in different colors, and it seemed that they should be from different units. In the distance, the sound of drums began to sound, loud and rhythmic, and it spread far away, as if it were contacting other troops.

At this time, it seemed that the sound of drums began to come from all directions, such a situation made Yang Muqin's heart tighten, and the team members next to him hurriedly stood up and looked around, and suddenly he pointed to the north and shouted, "Chief!" Enemies are starting to appear in the north! At the same time, the shouts of the team members were also heard on the wall on the other side of the gate, "Chief, northeast!" There is an enemy! ”

"Lord Xu!" A soldier jerked open the rags at Xu Wei's door to shield him from the wind, and said in a hurried voice, "North! There is a case in the north! ”

Xu Wei stood up abruptly and was about to run out, but as if he remembered something, he stopped and said to the soldier, "Take Luo Rucai and the others to the north gate for me!" ”

"Yes! My lord! The soldier hurriedly gave his hand to the order, and ran out. Xu Wei pushed open the door and walked out, outside the door was the school field, the ground nest door on the school field was pushed open from the inside one by one, and the soldiers rushed out from inside, holding the Senate rifle in their hands, looking around to see where their officers were.

"Lord Xu, what's the situation?" Zheng Zhihu asked hurriedly while putting on a padded jacket on his body, and he was followed by two personal soldiers, one of whom was busy holding a complete set of armor in his hands, and the other was holding Zheng Zhihu's big knife, all of whom followed behind Zheng Zhihu in a hurry.

The enemy of the enemy is the only enemy, and the sun is followed by the morning

Xu Wei shook his head, "I don't know what's going on, but at this moment, the drum of the bandits is beating, it must be gathering troops, and it should probably be attacking us, right?" ”

Zheng Zhihu hurriedly put on his clothes, "I was in the house just now, and it seems that I heard several cannons, but was it that I was firing cannons in the city?" ”

"No," Xu Wei shook his head very dryly, "There are only six tiger squat cannons in Taiping City, and their power is limited, and the bandits at this moment are camped several miles away, even if the six tiger squat cannons are piled together, they can't hit them." It is still possible for the bandits to open fire when they are attacking the city, but only now that the drums of the bandits are heard, it is impossible for us to open artillery in the city. ”

"Or maybe the bandits have a cannon?" A soldier next to him said something in passing, and the scene suddenly fell into a deathly silence. This is basically the most terrible thing, the defenders of Taiping City and the Zheng army have been resisting the 36th battalion used by Wang for a long time, and the main reason why the rebel army has not been able to pose much threat to the city is that the Zheng army's rifle is sharp, which can defeat the rebel army before it exerts the power of long-range attacks, and the other reason is that the rebel army does not have powerful siege weapons.

At this moment, the Wu Dynasty has gone far in the development of artillery, not only has the Tiger Squat Cannon that can support at close range, the Furlong machine gun that is quickly loaded, and the most powerful is the Shenwei General Cannon. Shaanxi is located inland, although there has been a civil uprising in recent years, but it is hardly worth mentioning compared with the coastal pirates who plundered the situation, so the artillery was not equipped with a large number of defenders in Shaanxi and Jin. Without equipment, there were naturally far fewer captures, and Wang's own army did not have a single artillery, and in several battles, it had been attacked by long-range fire from Taiping City, and was powerless to fight back, so he had to continue to surround Taiping City outside the range of Taiping City's fire for the time being.

Of course, Zheng Zhihu and Xu Wei knew this, but they also didn't have the ability to counterattack the tens of thousands of rebellious troops outside - after all, they only had more than 1,000 people, even if they added the village warriors in Taiping City, they were only in their early 2,000s, and the more than 2,000 people were still a little stretched to defend Taiping City. Therefore, both sides are in a state of confrontation and wait-and-see, and no one dares to make the first move.

Although Wang himself has no way to eat Taiping City, who knows if he is waiting for reinforcements from other places? His army did not have artillery, and what about those possible reinforcements? Since they had come at the invitation of the king to siege the city for his own use, they probably brought artillery with them. At this moment, I heard the sound of cannons, and I could hear the rebellious army outside the city beating drums and gathering, which made Zheng Zhihu and Xu Wei look at each other, and their heartbeats couldn't help but speed up a lot.

The two of them couldn't help but speed up their pace and rushed to the north gate tower, and when they looked, the rebel army in the distance was really assembling, and the infantry was forming a phalanx according to the requirements of the officers, and the heralds on horseback were running back and forth between the battle formations, quickly conveying orders.

The enemy does not hate Kekuhou, and hates Mo Guyang Nuojie

"There must be tens of thousands of people, right?" Zheng Zhihu said with some sighs, "The siege of the city some time ago didn't feel like there were so many people. ”

"There are no 10,000 people," Xu Wei pointed to a phalanx in the distance and said, "Second Master Python, please look, this group of bandits is about 100 people in a group, from this end ......" Xu Wei pointed to the westernmost phalanx and continued, "To the easternmost end, there are only more than 20 formations, which should only be 3,000 people, if you want to have a scale of 10,000 people, then you have to add many thieves outside the west of the city and south of the city to get together." ”

The feud department is not cool, and the ship school is cold

"Three thousand people can also discharge such a large formation?" Zheng Zhihu said with some doubts, and Xu Wei hurriedly explained, "Second Master Python usually marches and fights on the sea, and it is understandable that the soldiers on land do not know much about it. ”

Zheng Zhihu hurriedly came down when he saw Xu Wei throwing the steps, of course he knew his own catties. Fighting at sea is basically enough to have bravery, and he can still exert his power on a narrow ship, but in this battle on land, he has already felt that it is not easy to fight, and now he no longer boasts about his martial arts in the past, but just does what Xu Wei said.

Xu Wei saw that Zheng Zhihu didn't speak again, so he was about to speak, but he heard a commotion in the city, "We are brave and loyal to the imperial court, why do you want to send us here to die?" "Like, why did you send us here?" "What are you pushing? Is it possible to kill me and wait? "If you want to kill, kill it, don't do so many tricks!"

Xu Wei couldn't help frowning slightly, walked to the city tower and looked down, under the city were Luo Rucai and a few people who claimed to be honest at that time. Xu Wei was full of suspicions about their so-called surrender at that time, and now he pretended to be this rhetoric when he heard it, but he had only recently given the order to shoot the rebels, and his prestige was damaged, and he had to agree to take in this group of people in a hurry to repair his image. He planted eyeliner around this group of people, but the eyeliner he planted was not of much use, except for knowing that these people had tried their best to run around since entering Taiping City and getting acquainted with the local officials and generals in the city. Although the eyeliners reported what they had done in detail, it was all there was to it, and no one knew what they said to those local officials and generals, only that they had a good conversation. As a group of people who have just surrendered, they got acquainted with officials to exonerate themselves, which is a reason, and it makes sense, but Xu Wei just felt that there was a conspiracy in it, and the plot was not small. The problem is that he is just an intuition in his heart, and he can't use it as evidence, and at this moment he has no other way than to let his subordinates strengthen surveillance.

"Let them come up," Xu Wei said loudly to them, and the soldiers below hurriedly surrendered their orders and led these people directly to the city tower.

"Mr. Xu, General Zheng, someone Luo is polite here." As soon as Luo Rucai went up to the city tower, he bowed to the two of them, and several people behind him also bowed.

"Why do I think you're missing someone?" Xu Wei glanced at the group of people and said in an absent-minded tone, Luo Rucai's face was not shocked, but the few people behind him obviously had panicked looks on their faces. Xu Wei laughed, "Why do the few strong men in the back have sweat on their faces?" Is it too hot? ”

Luo Rucai didn't have to look back to know the waste he brought, originally thought he meant to let him come alone, but so much silver couldn't be moved, so he could only bring people to move things, but when he got to the city, the situation became uncontrollable, so he had to take them all into the city. He smiled and said, "The general's might is deterrent, and if you don't accept it, you can't accept it!" ”

Zheng Zhihu obviously showed a smile on his face, and at the same time, there was another drum in the air, which made Luo Rucai turn his head in surprise, he had already sent information to Wang Ziyong through a secret letter, asking him to attack the city the day after tomorrow, and his side would provide support in the city, why was Wang Ziyong beating the drum today? Is it possible to prepare for the siege? He hurriedly glanced in the direction of the outside of the city, only to find that he didn't know when his side had already discharged the offensive formation, but when he looked closely, it was not a siege formation, as if he was fighting against some army outside the city. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but congratulate him, "Congratulations to the general, it seems that the siege of Taiping is about to be lifted!" ”
