Chapter 71
Thanks to Zhang Zongxian constantly asking them to make plans, so that all aspects are prepared, the young and strong will go to the school to report when they arrive in the county, and then they will be led by the acquainted squad leader of the new army to collect weapons and equipment.Then use the squad as a unit to pull up the city wall for defense.

With more and more young and middle-aged people being trained to report, more than 300 classes have been gathered on the city wall.Most of them are armed with lances.Only the squad leader is equipped with firecrackers.

After Liang Chen determined the number of troops.Immediately announced that all the officers of the new army would be promoted to one level and expanded into a brigade on the spot.

All the defense of the city wall was handed over to the officials and the common people.All new squads immediately arrive at the school grounds for reorganization.

Under the leadership of the squad leader, the reorganization was completed in an hour. After leaving five running groups for the east gate, the regiments quickly left the city from the north gate and the south gate, and surrounded the enemy troops outside the east gate from three sides.

Liang Chen also borrowed a cavalry team from Hu Biao, gathered the prairie men recruited by Hu Biao and took them out of the city.

When Qian Dianshi saw that Liangchen had gathered his troops out of the city, he came to stop him.

"Good minister! Just rely on the city wall and stick to it. Why bother to go out and fight the bandit army. The bandit army has a large number of people, so what if you lose!"

Liang Chen didn't entangle him but just said that most of the bandit army had already gone to besiege Changsheng Fort.He must defeat the bandit army in the city to rescue his master.After speaking, he led the troops out of the city quickly.

After Qian Dianshi heard that most of the bandits were going to besiege Changsheng Fort, he also began to worry about Zhang Zongxian.Thinking that if Zhang Zongxian died, no one would help him get promoted.

Suddenly Qian Dianshi realized that if Zhang Zongxian died, wouldn't all his property be his?
After this idea came up, Qian Dianshi couldn't help thinking about it.Hu Biao in Nama City is easy to deal with, but the shares are too much, so he is just a steward and just give three melons and two dates.If he's ignorant, kill him in the name of a bandit.

It's a pity that both the wine shop and the wool workshop are in Changsheng Castle, and the bandit army will definitely not let it go.

However, the grain storehouse and the general bank of the Taiping are still in the city, and the doll Su'e is also in Changshengbao. If Zhang Zongxian is really going to die, these will all belong to him.

Qian Dianshi was almost blinded by greed.Thinking about running to stop Liangchen from rescuing Zhang Zongxian, and thinking that Liangchen didn't listen to him just now, let alone now.

I still have a grandson in Changsheng Fort, if the fort is broken, I think he won't be able to survive.

Thinking of his grandson Qian Dianshi, he woke up a little and called his confidant servant over.Let him ride a horse and follow Liangchen's reinforcements. If Changsheng Fort is breached, he must come back and report to him as soon as possible.

In this way, Qian Dianshi had time to control the defensive forces in the city.The property left by Zhang Zongxian became his. As for the good minister, he died in battle.Immortality will not let him enter the city.

Those bandits came here to ask for money, and they have already taken Changsheng Fort, so they probably don't want to die anymore.If you give some more money, you will be able to play.With a plan in mind, Qian Dianshi began to secretly contact his former confidants.

As long as Changsheng Fort is breached, then act quickly to control the county.

After leaving the city, the troops quickly dispersed, led by each regiment, and soon began to surround the predetermined position outside the east gate to the bandit army.

When the bandit army found out, the three regiments had been approaching them from three directions.The hundreds of households who stayed behind didn't know what to do, and deliberately left the old, weak, sick and disabled to run away.But if you want to run, you have to bear the attack of the enemy in two directions.It's easy to run out by yourself and the team will disperse.

If he went to Changsheng Castle alone, the surname Wang might sacrifice his head to the flag.

During the hesitation, the three regiments had moved to a place five hundred steps away from the bandit army's formation.Now the bandit army can't run even if they want to.

After the regiments were in place, Liang Chen ordered the artillery team to hide behind the queue and aim at the thousand-man team of the bandit army that was close to the city wall.As long as their remaining bandit army is defeated, they will not pose a threat.

The ten Huzun guns of the artillery team were quickly loaded and fired with the order of the officer.The infantry in front of the artillery quickly withdrew from the front of the artillery under the leadership of the squad leader.

The left-behind hundred households shouted "avoid the artillery" after seeing the artillery team exposed, and jumped out of the cart and hid under the cart before finishing speaking.

Before the others could react, the lead from the Tiger Crouching Cannon had already rained down.

As long as you are hit by the lead of the Huzun cannon, you will definitely not survive, even if you wipe your arm, it will be torn apart.Just one round of shelling knocked down the thousand-man team, and all the remaining bandit troops hid under the carts and did not dare to show their faces.

Liang Chen was very satisfied with the effect of the shelling, and immediately ordered the whole army to attack.The battery continued to fire two rounds before stopping firing.

After Liang Chen ordered the whole army to attack, he saw the soldiers of the three regiments lined up in two rows.Holding a lance as a spear, the squad leader is holding a firecracker with a bayonet.With the drumbeat of the waist drum, they continued to advance towards the enemy camp with neat steps.

Many bandit troops could not bear the oppression and shelling of the army formation, and wanted to escape before the three regiments were encircled.He was overtaken and hacked to death by the horse team not long after he ran out of the car formation.

The prairie men in the cavalry also lifted the severed heads of bandit soldiers on their knives, and kept turning around the chariot formation.Sometimes they threw their heads into the car formation, so no one in the bandit army dared to run out of the car formation anymore.

The Liangchen promised to the cavalry that they would give them five taels of silver as long as they killed a bandit army, and the horse team members who engaged them actively pursued the bandit army.

After the three regiments completely surrounded the car formation on three sides, they did not directly attack the bandits in the car formation.First, the enemy was driven out of the cart with a lance, and then the squad leader holding a firecracker kept shooting at the bandits in the cart formation.As long as there are bandits gathered together, they will pass by in a row of guns.

Since the establishment of the army, Zhang Zongxian has constantly emphasized the need to give full play to the advantage of firepower.It can be solved with firearms without human life.

The artillery team behind also came quickly and aimed again at the scattered Thousands.After five consecutive rounds of shelling, the firing was stopped due to overheating of the gun barrel. This method was adopted to cool down with vinegar.

At this moment, no bandits in the army dared to resist, and the hundreds of households who led the team wanted to organize a counterattack, but they were already killed by firecrackers.

The troops of the three regiments had only a dozen soldiers who were injured by bows and arrows, and none of them were killed.On the contrary, a dozen or so people died in the horse team. During this period, the people from the standard battalion wanted to lead Master Ma out of the encirclement, but were stopped by the horse team.All the people in the standard battalion were hacked to death by the cavalry.

Master Ma fainted from fright, and was captured by the cavalry and exchanged rewards with good ministers.

After the bandits were unable to organize resistance, they ordered the carts to be moved and began to enter the car formation to clean up the bandits.

It is better to advance on three sides to drive the bandits who can move to the city wall, and the bandits who are injured and unable to move will be handed over to the government officials later.

After disarming the bandit troops who had been driven under the city wall, they were all detained in Wengcheng, the north gate.

After adding all the trained young adults who arrived during this period into the three regiments.Liang Chen already has an army of nearly 5000 people.
