Sir, you have to pay more

Chapter 355 Fighting with Qinggou

The shelling of the Qing army was indeed unprecedented, because the prime minister ordered people to carry more than a dozen boxes of silver and put it in front of the battle.

As long as it hits the top of the city, one shot will give you five taels, hit it on the spot, and cash it on the spot.

It was still the Prime Minister who handed out the money himself, no deceit, no drift at all.

The Erda group of the small Fran's machine gun group fired five shots, and the artillery hit the head of the city. There were five people in the artillery group including Erda, and the average share was five taels.

According to this situation, if Yaozi is exhausted, each person in their team can get at least 30 taels, while the salary of the soldiers of the Eight Banners is only 33 taels a year. Can this gun be fired?Do you want to fight hard?
However, after firing five shots in a row, the Eda team stopped firing. There was no way, the barrel was hot and needed to cool down for a while.

Taking advantage of the cooling of the gun barrel, Eda hurried over to collect the money.

"Five shots, hit all five shots?"

Jia Liu looked at Erda and the deputy gunner and assistant gunner behind him in surprise, confirmed that the record was true, and happily took out five ingots and five taels of ingots from the silver box and stuffed them in the hands of Erda and others.

"Okay, good job, keep up the good work, more hits, more rewards, cut more meat for wives and children after returning to Beijing, tear more cloth, it is also good for those who don't have wives and children to make silver bracelets for unmarried daughters-in-law .”

The Prime Minister's encouragement made Erda and the others very excited. Looking at the silver ingot in their hands, and seeing the Prime Minister who was happier than them, they were all excited.

There will be silver rewards for hits, and you can find them when you hit them, which greatly stimulates the artillery and greatly improves the hit rate.

Usually when you fire a cannon, once you load the ammo and light the torch, it depends on God whether you hit the target or not. This time, the gunners and co-gunners of the gun crew lie there and aim around. Everyone shouts before firing, and it’s not like they can fly Things that can walk, can the gun not be accurate!

It's really hard not to post it if you follow Premier Jia.

Jia Liu keeps sending money out, not because he is afraid that someone who has eaten the bear's heart will dare to cheat under his nose, but because he really enjoys the feeling of giving money to others.

That taste is so blissful, more exciting than being a womanizer.

While distributing the money, he quietly told the dog head Fan Wei: "I will write down all the three hits in the five guns, and they will all be transferred to the Changwei Army later."

"Yes, my lord."

Fan Wei hesitated for a moment, and asked in a low voice whether he only remembered the origin of the Han army, or whether he remembered both Mongolian and Han.

"Remember, remember. I, Chang Weijun, look at the business familiarity, not their background. If I really want to know the background, I will kill you as a bandit."

Jia Liu smiled.

He employs people without knowing their background.

The Qing army's artillery was accurate, but the Changsheng army in the city was miserable.

Seeing that the companions around him were fine just now, and suddenly they were killed by the cannon in the blink of an eye, the timid one cried at that time.

Wu Da, a farmer in Yanggu County, was lying on his stomach with his buttocks close to the city wall. Unexpectedly, his neighbor Gu Er was hit by a falling shell, and he was so scared that he screamed and subconsciously ran to the side. go.

As a result, a brick bounced off the wall hit his face, peeling off a large piece of skin and smashing his two front teeth. The pain caused him to tear a piece of cloth to cover his face while shouting.

I feel as if I regret something.

If I had known that the officers and soldiers were coming, I wouldn't have fallen into the trap of money because I couldn't bear a hundred cash and stayed in the city. Now it's all right. Although the money is still there, my life is about to disappear.

After spitting out the blood in his mouth, another iron ball fell not far away. The moment it hit the ground hard, it jumped up again and hit the back of a leader who was yelling at his subordinates not to run around. Smashed the leader's spine on the spot.

The Qing army's artillery outside the city fought desperately into the city as if they didn't want money.

An iron ball still had momentum, jumped again, and smashed heavily on the head of a soldier wrapped in a white scarf, instantly embedded in his head, and his brains flowed all over the floor.

An iron ball didn't know how to bounce, but it passed directly through the belly of a Chang Shengjun who was kneeling there in shock, and took away all the flesh and bones in an instant, revealing a big empty round hole with "puchipuchi" braving blood.

There were pools of blood all over the city wall, corpses and broken arms and limbs were scattered all over the place, and some areas were slippery when walking on them due to too much blood flow.

Outside the city, the horns of "Woo-woo" sounded, and the Qing army was about to attack the city.

"Come on, a long-haired head rewards five taels!"

Yingjitu, the minister of counselor and second-class bodyguard in front of the imperial court, who took the initiative to invite Ying to attack the city with the Zhili soldiers, put his braids around his neck, brandished a knife and led his Eight Banners soldiers towards the city wall.

The Zhili soldiers were also led by the general Wan Chaoxing and the deputy Ma Erqing'a, rushing towards the city wall like a tide.

There are those who carry ladders, those who push shield carts, and those who push tall buildings.

A typical cold weapon siege method.

The other gates also began to climb the city after receiving the signal.

Jia Liu, who had been paying close attention to the battle situation, saw through the binoculars that a victorious army wrapped in white cloth rushed out of the new city. It seemed that they were ordered by Wang Lun to reinforce the old city.

"Your leader is not all fools."

Putting down the binoculars, Jia Liu asked Fan Wei worriedly: "Is Wang Jinglong guarding the east gate?"

After getting an affirmative answer, Gang just nodded.

Suddenly there was a loud "boom" in the distance, louder than the Qing army's mountain-splitting cannon and small Frang machine.

Jia Liu was startled, looked up, and saw a thick gun barrel soaring from the city wall, and then fell obliquely from the sky.

It was Chang Shengjun who used the four hundred-year-old old cannons. It turned out that the old cannons were loaded with too much medicine or the old cannons were too old. Killed several gunners who were finally put together by the Ever Victorious Army.

Seeing that the cannons could not be used, Marshal Wang Jinglong of the Changsheng Army guarding the old city of Linqing did not intend to abandon the old city. Instead, he led his disciples to shoot arrows outside the city in an attempt to repel the attacking Qing army.

It’s just that the bows and crossbows of the Changsheng Army were captured from the Shandong Green Camp. soldier.

After paying dozens of casualties, the Eight Banners soldiers of the Vanguard Battalion, Firearms Battalion, and Guard Battalion commanded by Yingjitu rushed to the city in armor.

In order to avoid accidentally injuring friendly troops, the artillery of the Qing army stopped bombarding.

Looking down with the probe, he found that the Qing army was building a ladder. Wang Jinglong ordered the soldiers to throw stones down.

He himself even worked together with his personal guards to lift a stone slab weighing more than three hundred catties, shouting and pushing the stone slab down hard.

"not good!"

After the Eight Banners soldiers who were building the ladder below found a huge stone slab on it, You Xiao cavalry school exclaimed and ran back instinctively, but there were all banner soldiers swarming in behind, so there was no way for him to run out.

The stone slab fell from the sky, and more than a dozen Eight Banners soldiers including Na Xiao cavalry school were crushed under the slate.

Some died on the spot, and some had their legs pressed under the stone slabs, but their bodies were outside.

Around the stone slab, blood and meat slags were everywhere.

"Brothers, fight with Qinggou!"

Under the leadership of Marshal Wang Jinglong, the Qingshui Jiaobing soldiers on the city kept dropping stones, causing heavy casualties to the Qing army climbing outside the city.

After many Qing soldiers were hit by stones, they directly formed a ball with the mud and blood on the ground, and they couldn't even tell what they looked like. They were red, white, black, and sticky.

When Jia Liu, who was watching the battle from a distance, saw the horrors of his siege troops in Dongcheng through the binoculars, he clenched his fists tightly and said excitedly: "Pass my military order, and those who retreat without the order will be killed!"
