Chapter 15: Guild Battle Armory

Seeing Huang Anyuan's dozens of cavalry galloping towards him, and the people of the patrol battalion broke up directly without even resisting, the soldiers of the third battalion escorting the ammunition were amazed at the terrifying cavalry charge, and at the same time, they also hurriedly came out of the recalcitrant houses!

Huang Anyuan rode over: "Your brothers in the third battalion have worked hard, Huang is late, and I hope to forgive you a lot, please ask which of you is in charge!" ”

A young officer also walked out of the crowd of the third battalion: "My name is Zheng Anling, and Li Guan will take a seat!" This person looked extremely young, and his expression was not chaotic at all, so he had to let Huang Anyuan take a look, and immediately Huang Anyuan didn't hold it big, he jumped off the horse, walked over and said: "I am Huang Anyuan, the officer of the cavalry battalion, and I came to receive the ammunition on the order of Commander Chen!" ”

"Commander Chen?" As soon as Zheng Anling heard the word commander, his face immediately changed: "Could it be that there is already an incident?" ”

Huang Anyuan saw that he seemed to know about the uprising between his words, and wanted to transport ammunition This kind of secret matter Li Jimin is bound to send his henchmen to do it, thinking that this person should also know the inside story of the upcoming incident tomorrow, and immediately said: "That's true, your transportation of ammunition was discovered by the patrol battalion, and if you don't do it in advance, it will be too late!" ”

Zheng Anling also had an annoyed expression on his face: "It's all our fault, we were in a hurry when we entered the city, and we were startled by the horse pulling the cart, which is what happened." ”

Huang Anyuan disagreed: "It's no wonder to you about this matter, if everything went well, my revolutionary aspirants would have overthrown this Manchu Dynasty a long time ago." ”

"Alas, it was indeed an accident" Zheng Anling didn't seem to react much to Huang Anyuan's words, but pondered for a few seconds and said: "This ammunition will be handed over to you now!" ”

"Oh?" Huang Anyuan thought that there were not enough troops in the city now, so he immediately invited: "Now that the city is about to move, and Commander Chen and others will also come over, and Huang will definitely ask Brother Zheng for credit!" ”

Unexpectedly, Zheng Anling shook his head and said, "No, I want to go out of the city immediately and return to my family!" ”

Without waiting for Huang Anyuan to say anything, Zheng Anling just threw down the batch of ammunition with his subordinates and hurried towards the city gate, obviously in a hurry to return to the third battalion station. Huang Anyuan also understood when he saw this, after all, the time for the incident was suddenly advanced by one day, and now the city has already begun to move, and Li Jimin outside the city also knows the news as soon as possible.

Huang Anyuan ordered his brothers to dismount and guard the surroundings with horse pistols.

The ordinary people on the street near the South City Gate have long since dispersed, and the gunfight between Zheng Anling and the others and the patrol battalion has frightened the courage of those ordinary people, and when Huang Anyuan's dozens of horses swept like a torrent, those flat-headed people guessed that something was wrong even if they were stupid. Those who can go home have already gone back to their respective homes, and those who can't go back for the time being are hiding in restaurants and shops and refusing to come out, so that there is no one else on the huge street except Huang Anyuan and others.

The people near the south school field only saw dozens of cavalry coming out before, they vaguely guessed what happened, and now when they saw a large group of new army soldiers swarming out of the barracks, they were even more panicked, some people said that the bandits were attacking the city, some people said that the other two battalions of the new army that arrived outside the city yesterday had defected, some people said that there were people in the city who were in rebellion, some people said that the patrol battalion rebelled, but more people speculated that Fuzhou would follow in the footsteps of Wuchang tonight.

For the panic of these ordinary people, Chen Jingyun has no heart to deal with it, now is not a good time to calm the hearts of the people! Now the key is to get the ammunition, take the armory, and take control of Fuzhou City, and have time to calm the people.

The new army that came out of the southern school field was divided into three routes, Xiao Qibin led one to Yushan, and Lin Wenying led one to the town commander and the governor's mansion. And Chen Jingyun personally took the second battalion to the south city gate, obtained ammunition, and then went to capture the armory.

However, halfway through, he summoned Lin Chengkun: "You take two platoons and control the Daqing Bank and the Domain."

Lin Chengkun is also a smart person, and he immediately understood what Chen Jingyun meant: "Commander, don't worry, I will definitely protect the silver inside!" ”

"This is a matter of importance, and you should be cautious!" The seizure of the Daqing Bank and the feudal treasury was planned, and the control of the silver in the Daqing Bank and the feudal treasury was necessary to maintain the operation of the political axe and expand the army in the future. Lin Wenying, Xiao Qibin and others naturally knew the important surnames of these two places, but the troops under the two of them were too small, and most of them were not regular infantry, so it was too small to seize Yushan and attack the governor's palace, let alone divide the troops and use them elsewhere. So Chen Jingyun can only control these two places.

After Lin Chengkun received the order, Chen Jingyun sent more than ten people to his home with his own soldiers in order to protect the safety of his family.

Chen Jingyun trotted forward with the second battalion, the people on the street had already hidden, and there was no obstacle to the march, and when they arrived at Huang Anyuan's place, the sky was already dark.

Seeing Chen Jingyun personally arrive with a large group of people, Huang Anyuan looked extremely excited, and his face turned red: "Report to the commander, An Yuan is fortunate not to be dishonored, and all the 35,000 rounds of ammunition received are here, and none of them are missing!" ”

"Good! Tonight, my rebel army will take action, and you, Huang Anyuan, should be the first to take credit. Chen Jingyun did not hesitate to praise himself.

After obtaining this batch of bullets, Chen Jingyun can be regarded as truly confident, and with this batch of bullets, he can have a viable surname against the patrol battalion and thousands of soldiers of the Eight Banners.

After distributing a large number of bullets, Chen Jingyun sent another 2,000 rounds to Xiao Qibin and Lin Wenying's subordinates, and then Chen Jingyun immediately ordered to march to the Pingshan Armory.

Guarding the Pingshan armory was a sentry under Cheng Jinkui, with nearly 200 people, all equipped with Hanyang-made guns. Arriving outside the armory, Chen Jingyun first asked several people under his command and who were familiar with the patrol battalion to shout and try to persuade them to surrender, but there was no response inside, instead saying that a series of bullets had been fired. almost hit Li Lianyang, who was shouting in front.

Li Lianyang, who had retreated, showed a ruthless expression: "Commander, wait a minute, I will personally lead people to rush, I don't believe that these big smokers can stop me from hundreds of men!" ”

Chen Jingyun is still clear about Li Lianyang's ability, don't look at him as fierce and vulgar, but he is extremely meticulous in doing things, but he still pressed his hand and signaled him to be calm.

He immediately turned around and said to the officers behind him: "What do you all think?" ”

In the crowd behind him, the four team officers and Ma Cheng were there, in addition to the coach Feng Qin and many military assistants from the headquarters, some of these people followed Chen Jingyun sincerely, and some were coerced, no matter what they thought, but since they got on this boat, don't think about going down.

After the officers whispered for a while, Feng Qin immediately said: "This armory is well defended, and there are many patrol battalions during the period, there is no other way to break this place, but to attack hard!" ”

His seemingly insightful remarks were recognized by many officers.

Chen Jingyun himself didn't have a good way, this Pingshan armory was completely equipped with all kinds of fortifications, and it was completely a fortress, and there was enough food and ammunition stored in it. For the rebels, who did not have heavy artillery, there was no other way to take this place than to exchange casualties.

"Then you can make a plan!" Even if it's a forcible attack, there is a plan for the forcible attack.

Soon, the staff officers led by Feng Qin came up with a specific plan of action, and after hearing this, Chen Jingyun felt that it was feasible, and immediately ordered the attack to begin.

As it was already completely dark, the armory was lit with countless lights, and the second battalion was holding countless torches, so that the area around the armory was no different from day.

As military orders were issued, the front team of the second battalion, Li Lianyang, and the right team, Chen Weihua, began to spread out in formation, forming two fists on the left and right to outflank the armory.

As the troops slowly approached, the gunfire began to ring, and as Li Lianyang and Chen Weihua's troops got closer and closer to the armory, the gunfire became more and more intensive.

While the figures in the distance swayed, countless bullets slashed through the night sky, and the light bullets were as gorgeous as fireworks in the night.

Half a moment later, seeing through the telescope that Li Lianyang's department was suppressed, Chen Jingyun's face remained unchanged and said: "Feitai, your department will attack immediately according to the plan!" ”

"Yes!" After Lin Feitai received the order, he immediately led the three platoons of the rear team to rush forward.

At this time, Chen Jingyun had already sent most of his troops, and he only had a platoon under Zhuang Dafu, a personal army, and Huang Anyuan's horse team.

As Lin Feitai stepped forward to reinforce, the numerical advantage of the rebel army was brought into play, and the scene began to move in the favorable direction of the rebel army, as countless bullets flew sideways in the night sky, from time to time soldiers on both sides fell, and wailing and moaning sounded, some soldiers in the rebel army couldn't stand such a cruel scene, some people were frightened, and some people fled!

However, before these deserters could take a few steps back, they were shot by the middle and low-level officers who commanded the operation, and Chen Jingyun's personal guards were also holding their guns behind them, aiming at those possible deserters. In this way, the small wave of deserters that appeared was suppressed, and then under the leadership of officers at all levels, they continued to advance forward.

Compared with the huge casualties of the rebel army, the soldiers of the patrol battalion in the armory are much better, they are guarded by strong fortifications, but even so, when there are casualties in the patrol camp, the wails and moans over and over again are resounding all around, and the soldiers of the patrol battalion who have been shooting for a long time are gradually breaking down.

The officers of the patrol battalion who supervised the battle were obviously not as determined as the officers of the rebel army, and dared to kill deserters on a large scale. And desertion has always only needed a beginning. If the beginning is not stopped, then the next development of the situation will be expected by everyone.

An hour later, when the first patrol battalion soldier saw that a colleague next to him had been pierced through the skull by a bullet, and his brain was splattered with blood, the man could no longer hold back, threw the gun in his hand, turned around and ran. When the officer of the patrol battalion saw that he was hesitating whether to kill the deserter, several soldiers of the patrol battalion had already followed suit and turned and fled.

At this time, it can be regarded as a chain reaction, not only did the soldiers desert one after another, but the rest of the soldiers were also unstable, after all, none of them knew when their colleagues around them would run out.

Outside the armory, he was watching the battle situation with his eyes to see that the firepower of the soldiers of the patrol battalion in front of him had weakened, and the frowning brow that had been being stretched out.

Sure enough, Li Lianyang, who was in front, obviously also discovered the fighter, and immediately ordered a charge, and then quickly occupied several strongholds.

At this time, Feng Qin stepped forward and said, "Commander, it's now!" ”

Chen Jingyun did not hesitate, and immediately ordered a platoon of Zhuang Dafu's department as a reserve and a pro-soldier team to be put into the battlefield!

With the addition of a platoon of Zhuang Dafu and the pro-soldier team, the rebel army, which was supported by the fresh army, quickly launched several charges, and in the face of the rebel army that continued to charge, the patrol battalion that had been holding on for more than an hour finally collapsed, and it didn't take a quarter of an hour to flee and die!

"Congratulations to the commander on his victory!" As soon as he saw that the battle situation was decided, Feng Qin immediately congratulated Chen Jingyun, and the other military assistants around him also congratulated in unison: "Congratulations commander!" ”
