Chapter 1182: Stick Soldiers
The sailors and marines brought by Wei Dalong are all good at the sea, and it is not difficult to swim across the Wei River, but the problem is that the fire guns and medicine bags they carry cannot be soaked in water, otherwise they will become useless after crossing the river. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Relying only on broadswords and spears, lacking effective siege equipment, no matter how elite the marines were, Yu Qizai was willing to take the lives of his men to fill in, it was difficult to capture Weixian, which was defended by thousands of soldiers and horses. The only way now was to quickly set up a wooden platoon, cross the river, and then blow up the gates of Weixian County with the demolition methods of the Taipings.
"Old Five, pass on my order, after an hour, everyone in each family will make efforts to break the county town of Wei, and I will give everyone a reward of silver!"
In order to boost morale, Yu Qi also went out, he accumulated a lot of family funds before the army, and after the incident, he broke a lot of states and counties, and captured a lot, and this time he promised it. Although Weixian County is occupied by the Qing army, the people in the city are Han people, and Yu Qi has not lost his conscience and promised to enter the city without sealing the knife.
"Okay!"
Yu Qi's worship gave his brother Song Wuhao an angry voice and went to pass on the words.
Soon, thousands of volunteers were taken by their respective leaders to cut wood, and the cut wood was soon transported to the river, and all kinds of ropes and strips of cloth were collected to hold the rafts in place. Because there were patches of woods behind him, the wood was easy to cut down, and it didn't need to be too strong, as long as it could carry people, and after an hour, dozens of wooden rafts were tied, and each of them could stand seven or eight people.

The rebels were busy crossing the river in a row, and the Qing army gradually came back to its senses. Zhou Tian, the general of the Shandong Green Battalion, was bent on asking for battle, but Han Juyuan, the supervising army, opposed the rash battle, believing that the life and death of the Nima River Department of Manchurian in the east was unknown, and he did not know how many chaotic people had come.
Shuerke, the Manchurian co-leader, finally accepted Han Juyuan's advice and was not allowed to fight, and at the same time sent fast horses to get in touch with the Nima River Department to see how these rebels in Wei County came over.
The Qing people were unable to intervene in the debate about the defense of the war, and the Korean officers could not intervene. However, seeing that the Manchurians did not let them fight, the Koreans were somewhat relieved and happy.
"Uncle, what are the rebels of the Qing Kingdom doing?"
Shen Tong opened his eyes wide to look, but he couldn't see clearly what the Qing rebels on the other side were doing, and could only dimly see a group of Qing rebels carrying logs to the river, and then turned back.
With his uncle by his side, Shentong was not afraid of those Qing rebels at all, but he wanted to know very much what those Qing people were doing now. Shen Tong's question was also Shen Liu's, but he couldn't explain it to his nephew, because he also wanted someone to tell him what the Qing people on the other side were doing.
Zhou Tian, the general of the Shandong Green Battalion, who was anxious to make meritorious contributions to the war, walked to the side of Ma Wende, the prefect of Qingzhou, and said with some worry: "Lord Ma, the chaotic people seem to be setting up a wooden platoon and preparing to forcibly cross the Wei River, we must stop them, but we can't let them cross over." ”
Listening to Zhou Tian's words, Ma Wende couldn't help but nodded, it was safe for the Shulke co-leader not to be allowed to fight, but now that the rebels on the other side of the river are about to cross the river, if they don't stop it, it will be a little too stable.
"What is the best way for Zhou Shenjiang?" Marvind asked.
Zhou Tian hesitated for a moment, glanced at the group of North Koreans, and then said, "I heard that the North Korean soldiers are good at birds, maybe they can stop the rebels from crossing the river." ”
Ma Wende heard it well, the bird gun shoots farther than the bow and arrow, as long as the Korean soldiers are sent to line up on the shore, where can the rebels cross.
Ma Wende, who thought that this method was very good, told Han Juyuan about it, and Han Juyuan was noncommittal after hearing this, so he called Shen Liu and asked him if he was willing to send troops to prevent the rebellious people from crossing the river.
Shen Liu had already observed that now, he had not found that there were artillery and guns on the opposite side of the rioters, and there was no rule for the rioters, so there should be no danger, so he agreed that the Korean soldiers under his command would prevent the rioters from crossing the river.
However, Han Juyuan and Ma Wenyuan couldn't make the decision on this matter, so they suggested to Shulk together. Shulke pondered for a moment, and agreed that the Korean soldiers should go to the river to prevent the rebels from crossing the river.
Shen Liu ordered 10,000 households Park Zhengtai to lead 500 good hands out of the city to block the attack, although he was very confident in his own shotgun, but below Shen Liu, none of the North Koreans dared to take it lightly.
Although the Qing officials did not inform the Koreans, the Koreans were not stupid, and they saw from the fact that the Qing people urgently needed them to participate in the war, and the chaos lasted for several months and could not be pacified.
This battle was the first battle of the Korean army after it arrived in the Qing Dynasty, and it must be won, otherwise the face of the Koreans would be too ugly.
Park Jung-tae did not transfer the good hands of the shotgun hall, but brought the 500 good hands drawn out by the northern border army. Compared with the good hands of the shotgun hall, the combat effectiveness and fighting will of the northern border army are stronger, after all, some of them have seen battles with the Manchurian Tartars back then, and they have also entered the customs to help the Qing Dynasty attack the Liaodong Army of the Ming Dynasty.
When the Korean soldiers left the city, the scouts sent out to inquire about the situation had already gone out a few times, and if there was no accident, Wei County would soon be able to get in touch with the Nima Creek Department to find out what was going on.
…………
"Brothers, the Qing army will definitely attack us when we cross the river, so I need the first batch of people to cross the river who are not afraid of death, and they will fight a bloody way for our brigade and firmly nail it on the other side of the river! I have clear rewards and punishments in seven, the reward for crossing the river first is doubled, and if he is dead, I raise his father, mother, wife and children in seven, and if he is injured, I ask someone to treat him in seven, and if he can't be cured, I will still raise it! ”
In front of the forest, Yu Qi was cheering for the soldiers who were about to cross the river, he was a hero of the green forest, and now although he was the leader of the rebel army, he was still in the habit of the rivers and lakes.
"Yu Ye, in this Shandong realm, what you always say, that is the thunder in the sky, one by one! The brethren did not believe in his government, but they believed in the Lord! No matter what, we did it with Yu Ye! ”
"Since the day I followed Yu Ye and Gou Qingbing, I had no way back. Fight this county town today, even if Yu Ye doesn't give everyone a heavy reward, everyone has to sell this life! ”
"Don't hesitate to grandma, it's a man's scream, don't work hard at this time!"
“......”
The composition of the rebel army is complicated, the backbone is all green forest ringing horse thieves, these people are all outlaws, this will listen to Yu Qi's words, there is nothing to say, they all did not hesitate to stand up and cross the river first. Driven by this group of people, some rebels who hated the Qing army also took the initiative to sign up, and for a while, the river bank resounded with the shouts of crossing the river to kill the enemy.
After the first batch of more than 500 people to cross the river was selected and prepared, Yu Qi said to Wei Dalong: "Brother Wei, you are here to take the battle, and I will personally lead people across the river." As he spoke, he unbuttoned his shirt and threw it on the ground, bare his upper body, pulled out his big knife, and was about to go up to the wooden raft.
Seeing this, Wei Dalong hurriedly grabbed him: "Brother Yu, you are the leader, the commander of the first army, how can you risk yourself!" ”
"Hey, what commander, I have a few catties and taels in Yuqi, don't you know? If you want me to see it, I'm in the seventh is also a general life. ”
Yu Qi couldn't help but say that he broke free from Wei Dalong, "I raised troops against the Qing Dynasty in Yu Qi, in order not to lose the face of our ancestors, but also to avenge our Qi family army who died in the Hunhe River, and to export evil anger for our Han people!" In the past, the Qing army was strong, and I didn't dare to move in Yuqi, so I was forced to accept their recruitment, and became the commander of the green battalion, losing face, being laughed at by friends in the rivers and lakes, and living a nest. Now it's different, His Royal Highness the King of Qi led the brothers of the Taiping Army to beat the Tartar Emperor away, what else would I dare not dare in Yu Qi, if I really want to be the bullshit boss of the Qing Dynasty again, I will die of shame in Yu Qi! Okay, Brother Wei, don't say anything, don't stop me, this Wei County, I must personally take someone to take it down, otherwise, I won't have the face to see anyone!
After Yu Qi finished speaking, he hugged his fist at Wei Dalong, pulled his belt, and got on the wooden chop. Wei Dalong knew that he couldn't stop him, so he had to repeatedly tell him to be careful, and at the same time instructed the marines to prepare to cross the river, assemble the six "unconscionable" launch canisters that they were reluctant to use in the previous siege and annihilation of Nima Xibu, and be ready to cross the river at any time to support Yu Qi.
"Brothers, follow me to kill the Qing army at the Qidu River!"
As soon as his right foot stepped on the wooden raft, Yu Qi roared loudly, and then kicked hard with his left foot, and the wooden raft quickly flowed into the middle of the river.
"Follow Yu Ye to kill the Qing soldiers!"
The heroes on each wooden platoon saw the seven pioneers, and they went into battle in person bare-chested, and their hearts were all hot. In the same way, they all took off their shirts and threw them on the wooden rafts or threw them directly into the Wei River. Under the reflection of the sun, more than 500 men stood like iron towers with large knives and spears in their hands.
The breeze is blowing, the river is rippling, the light and shadow of the wide river surface are reappearing, and the fish that have surfaced to absorb oxygen can't stop spitting small bubbles. In the rising water vapor, dozens of wooden platoons slashed straight at the opposite bank like arrows off the string under the vigorous strokes of the righteous heroes.
The wind rises, the clouds are hidden, and the air disperses.
When the wooden raft where Yu Qi was the first to arrive in the middle of the river, the two banks could be seen clearly.
The Qing army in Weixian County saw the rebels on the wooden platoon, and the rebels on the wooden platoon also saw the Qing army on the city.
"Yu Ye, the Qing soldiers are out!"
Yu Qi's brother Song Wu was on the wooden platoon in front of another ship, and saw a group of Qing troops rushing out of the gate of Weixian County.
"It's not Qing soldiers, it's Goryeo sticks!"
Seeing that the Qing soldiers who went out of the city were wearing the wrong clothes, Yu Qi knew that most of them were those stick soldiers who came from Korea.
"Stick" is the special name of the people of the Ming Dynasty for the Koreans, the reason is that the North Korean mission personnel of the year stole chickens and dogs, and entered the territory of the Ming Dynasty to repeatedly commit illegal acts, so they were disgusted by the people and called "sticks". And unlike the Ming officials, the people are still used to calling North Korea Goryeo, so the North Korean soldiers who shouted in the seventh will are Goryeo sticks.
