Chapter 1183: Taiping Kou is here

As soon as the Korean shotgunners drove out of the city, they spread out along the riverbank, skillfully raising their shotguns in their hands, holding fire folds and waiting for the officers to give the order to release their guns. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"The stick has a gun, lie down!"

The leader of the rebels, who knew the power of the firearms, immediately shouted and told everyone on the wooden platoon to lie down, so as not to call the stickers to hit them. However, in order to transport as many people as possible across the river, the wooden rafts were overcrowded, so most people had nowhere to lie down and could only barely squat there.

The rebels also did not have many shields, and a large iron pot stood in front of each wooden platoon, which was used to block the Qing army, bows, arrows and guns.

After discovering that the Qing army went out of the city to the river to block the attack, and used all firearms, Wei Dalong couldn't help but worry about the rebels crossing the river, and even more afraid that something would happen to Yu Qi. If an accident happens to Yu Qi, these tens of thousands of righteous troops will be leaderless, and they will be afraid that they will collapse in an instant.

"Release!"

After seeing the wooden platoon of the Qing rebels driving into the range of the shotgun, Park Jong-tae immediately ordered the shooting. In the sound of "bang" shots, hundreds of rebels fell into the river.

"Fuck it!"

Song Wu saw that the sticks and soldiers were beating hard, gritted his teeth and cursed, and then jumped into the river and pushed the wooden raft forward. When many of the volunteers saw this, they also went down to the river and exposed their heads on the water. In this way, sure enough, the guns of the North Korean soldiers could not hit them.

Some of the rebels with bows on the wooden platoon also began to shoot arrows on the shore, but they were sparse and did not pose much of a threat to the North Korean soldiers.

On the banks of the river, white smoke filled the air, and the choking smell of gunpowder drifted away with the wind.

Seeing that the North Koreans were good at fighting the people who crossed the river and suffered heavy casualties, Shulk, Han Juyuan, Ma Wende and others at the head of the city couldn't help but smile, and Shen Liu also felt very honored.

On the Wei River, the rebels who lacked shields were unable to raise their heads and stand up straight despite being weighed down by the guns of the Korean soldiers, but they still struggled to row forward.

Yu Qi also jumped off the river and pushed the wooden raft forward with his subordinates around him. Many of the rebels on the wooden platoons cleverly spread the platoons to both sides to avoid gathering together for the Koreans to press and beat.

After dozens of wooden platoons were dispersed, and many rebels hid under the wooden platoons, the power of the Korean soldiers' shotguns was greatly reduced.

Park Zhengtai decisively ordered to divide into two teams and extend the firing distance as much as possible, forcing the Qing rebels who crossed the river to go ashore and not be able to concentrate.

Amid the dense sound of guns and screams and roars, the rebels finally rowed to the opposite bank. When the wooden raft was still a few meters from the river, he waded waist-deep and shouted to kill the enemy. Hundreds of rebels rushed to the shore from the river, swords and spears in their hands. Several other groups of rebels also successfully landed on the shore and pounced on the Korean soldiers under the leadership of their respective leaders.

Seeing the rioters rushing up, Park Jung-tae hurriedly ordered a slow retreat to keep his distance and shoot as many rebels as possible with a shotgun.

There was no shortage of heroes and good hands in the rebel army, but in the face of the 500 Korean shotgunners who were waiting for a while, they could not rush forward, and many rebels fell on the shore.

Yu Qi is Qi Jiguang's grandson, and when he was young, he watched the Qi family's army drills with his mother, and he was very experienced in how to deal with firearms. However, most of his subordinates are heroes in the green forest, not as strict as the Qi family's army, with neat orders, although they are brave at this time, they are fighting separately, fighting indiscriminately, and there is no way to break the position of the North Korean soldiers, so they can only be forced to retreat after paying one life after another, or lie on the ground to avoid the guns of the North Koreans.

Yu Qi was almost hit, and his own soldiers pressed him to the ground. The Qing army and the Korean soldiers watching the battle at the head of the city could not help but cheer when they saw that the righteous army was beaten and could not move. Yu Qi scolded the Goryeo stick while spitting on it, and at the same time asked Song Wu to quickly drive the platoon back to the opposite bank and transport the follow-up people and horses over.

Seeing the wooden platoon sailing back, Wei Dalong hurriedly ordered the marines to set off, and a battalion of Taiping soldiers rushed to the river with six unconscionable launchers.

"Get on the row, quick!"

"Be careful not to get soaked!"

Under the command of the officer, the soldiers of the Marine Corps carefully carried the unconscionable launcher onto the platoon, and held the medicine bag in their arms, lest they get wet by the river.

"Row!"

At the sound of the order, hundreds of marines bravely rowed in, and the wooden platoons suddenly drove towards the other side of the river.

At the head of Weixian County, seeing the rebellious people on the other side of the river coming for reinforcements, the Qing army and the Koreans did not worry, but waited to see a good show. According to the way the rebels fought in this way, there were 100,000 people on the other side, and they would be wiped out in batches in the river.

"Charge!"

After Park Zhengtai found that there were Qing rebels on the other side of the river, he ordered his subordinates to pack medicine and wait to give these Qing rebels a good look.

By the river, there were less than 200 rebels lying on their stomachs, and Yu Qi and the others gritted their teeth and insisted, trying their best to buy time for the Taiping army crossing the river.

"Rack the tube!"

When the wooden raft reached the middle of the river, Wei Dalong shouted loudly. The Marines carrying the unconscionable canisters hurriedly set up the canisters. Because it was on a wooden raft, the bottom end of the launch canister could not be fixed by burying it in the mud, and could only be fixed with a few large stones.

"Listen to me!"

Wei Dalong shouted loudly, and when he got close to the opposite bank, he saw that the North Koreans drove a group of gunners to slowly press towards them, and when they were about to launch, Wei Dalong waved the red flag in his hand.

Soon, the bottom line without conscience was lit, and then a few muffled sounds were heard, and then there was a "whooshing" sound in the air.

Six large medicine packets were launched into the air like kites with planks tied to the planks and fell towards the shore. After the ignition and launch, the strong inertia and seismic force caused three of the six wooden platoons to overturn on the spot, and the remaining three and two fell back in a straight line, and one was directly shaken and disintegrated.

"What's that?"

Park Jung-tae and his subordinates on the shore looked at the huge plank "flying" in mid-air in amazement, and their intuition told them that it was not a good thing.

With a "boom", the first medicine bag to be launched fell impartially directly above the North Korean soldiers, making a huge explosion sound and killing dozens of North Korean soldiers on the spot. Immediately after that, the second and third gunpowder packs also exploded, deafening the ears of those Korean soldiers and shattering their internal organs.

"Ten thousand households!"

Park Jung-tae's body was standing upright, two lines of blood coming out of his eyes, and blood was coming out of his mouth, ears, and nostrils. The man was motionless, as if by magic.

The North Korean soldiers who were still alive were so frightened that their souls flew away, and one by one they subconsciously threw down their shotguns and ran towards the middle of the court.

Of the six medicine bags that were punched out, two flew into a no-man's land because it was not easy to control the direction, three of the other four fell over the North Korean soldiers, and one fell above the rebels, killing more than 30 rebels.

Yu Qi and his leaders also saw the conscienceless cannon of the Taiping Army for the first time, and they were all stunned by this amazing power. In the middle of the sound, Yu Qicai reacted, jumped up from the ground, raised it forward, and shouted: "Brothers, the stick has run away, kill me!" ”

"Kill!"

The righteous army who came back to their senses hurriedly rushed forward with Yu Qi to kill, and the remaining Korean soldiers dared to turn back and resist, and ran to the city without their lives.

At the head of the city, all the generals of the Qing army were dumbfounded, and Shen Liu and other Korean officers couldn't say anything.

Wei Dalong stopped Yu Qi in time, who was going to pursue and kill the Koreans, and ordered his subordinates who landed to immediately establish a defensive line to prevent the Qing army in the city from rushing in a big way.

Yu Qi understood that it was impossible for them to attack the city at the moment, and what they had to do now was to transport more men and horses over before the Qing army in the city did not go out of the city to force them to go down the river.

Wei Dalong and Yu Qi both overestimated the courage of the Qing army in the city, whether it was Manchurians, Koreans, or Shandong Green Battalion, now none of them had the courage to go out of the city again. The scene of the collapse of the entire army in the midst of several explosions of 500 Korean soldiers shocked not only the officers but also the soldiers.

The victory on the other side boosted the morale of the rebels who had not yet crossed the river, and they scrambled to jump on the wooden rafts. Each trip can only transport hundreds of people, and each trip takes half a column of incense. The sun had already reached the end of the day, and because there was no shelter by the river, the rebels and marines were sweating hot. The Qing army in Weixian County was no better, the rebels were by the river, and they were so hot that they couldn't jump into the river, but they could only stand on the city under the scorching sun.

More than an hour later, the Marines launched a siege of the city, and the demolition team was covered by the firecrackers and the rebels to carry out the demolition of the city gates.

Wei Dalong has already observed that the city wall of Weixian County is not thick, and the city gate is not a big iron gate, but a wooden veneer wrapped in iron sheets. If the Qing army and the Koreans inside can still hold the city gate after it is bombed, then blow up the city wall. After opening too many mouths, I don't believe that the Qing army and the Koreans still have confidence.

Yu Qi personally sounded the horn of attack and asked several brothers to lead troops to attack the city with the Taiping army. More than 600 marines lined up in five columns, slowly approaching Wei County step by step. On either side were thousands of Yu Qi Rebels, and behind them were the demolition teams of the Marine Corps.

After discovering that the rebellious people were attacking the city on a large scale, Shulk and other Qing army generals were all in their throats. The North Koreans were also terrified, and they were terrified that the rioters would launch the big medicine kits into the city. They would rather jump from the city than be shocked to death by the thing.

In order to boost morale, Song Wu led people to cut off the heads of more than 300 dead Koreans, and walked at the front of the team with long sticks. Some officers even felt that this scene was extremely familiar, because this was how the Manchurians threw the heads of the Koreans in front of them one by one, and finally made them dare not fight anymore.

Ma Wende, the prefect of Qingzhou, was so frightened that he didn't dare to watch the battle anymore, and he wanted to flee back to Qingzhou. Shulk also wanted to run, because he found out that among the rebels he was facing was the presence of the Taiping Kou. The kind of medicine bag that is a big piece of medicine when it explodes, is the evidence of the Taiping Kou, and it is also Shulke's nightmare. During the Yangzhou War, he saw his brother being shocked to death with his own eyes.

Taiping Kou is here!

How will this battle be fought?
