Chapter 2198 Lianzhou Relief
Yuan Yuanwu, the head steward of the military platoon on Jinfeng Mountain, had noticed the Australians surrounding Yanxi Mountain long ago. Now that he saw the black smoke on Yanxi Mountain, he understood that it was Li Sanjiu who wanted him to attack, and attacked from the side. The Australians who besieged Yanxi Mountain responded to his breakout.

"Tell everyone to use their weapons and prepare to go down the mountain!"

As soon as he gave an order, Ding Zhuang under him immediately picked up his sword and gun.Compared with other Yao platoons, these two hundred strong men are excellent. Not only are they all young and strong, but each of them is also wearing a rattan armor-although this kind of armor is not high in defense, it is stronger than iron armor. Lightweight and breathable, it is quite convenient to move in the mountains.

"Boss in charge! Everyone rushed out, what to do with the things they got?" asked the subordinate.

These days they plundered wantonly around Lianzhou, robbed a large amount of supplies and soft goods, and piled them up in the camp waiting to be sent back to the stockade.

"If you win, no one dares to move. If you lose, you have to run away. How can you care about it!" Fang Yuanwu raised his sword, "Everyone kill the thief first!"

Fang Yuanwu was brave enough to fight and kill in the past, and he was quite prestigious in the Yao platoon. He raised his knife and shouted, and his subordinates followed him and rushed down the mountain in a swarm.

Fang Yuanwu has fought many battles with the officers and soldiers, and he has also seen the firearms of the officers and soldiers.Knowing that although the firecrackers are powerful, a row of firecrackers will kill and injure them.Fortunately, this firearm can't last long. As long as it can withstand one or two rounds of shooting and jump on it for hand-to-hand combat, it can often defeat officers and soldiers-at least they can fight evenly.If they are suppressed by several volleys of officers and soldiers, not only will they lose, but they will also lose miserably.

Yang Zeng put down his binoculars. He knew the information about the Yao people in Jinfeng Mountain last night. Looking at the map, it is easy to understand why the opponent put a team here. The mutual support of mastery and troops is quite self-taught.

"Order the artillery to fire," he ordered.

Six 6-pound mountain pomegranates have been loaded.Crouching quietly in the grass, as soon as the order was given at this moment, the gunners immediately inserted the pull tube into the ignition port.

The shooting parameters have been calibrated a long time ago-the enemy on Jinfeng Mountain is going to attack, and that section of the hillside is the only way to go.

Following the order of the company commander, the six mountain grenades spit out flames one by one, and the shells made of cast iron roared and smashed towards the Yao people down the mountain.They all smashed into the crowd, bouncing and harvesting their lives.

Fang Yuanwu didn't react at all when the gunfire rang—he was completely dumbfounded when the gunfire rang.When he woke up, his surroundings were in a mess, with dead bodies and severed limbs everywhere, and blood splattered everywhere.

Fang Yuanwu had seen cannons before, but due to the local terrain, officers and soldiers generally did not bring cannons when they went to "Fuyao".As for civil private wars, hardwood is also used as guns.Regardless of whether it is lychee wood or iron wood, the muzzle does not dare to open too much, nor does it dare to load too much gunpowder.Most of the time it's just audible.

This round of shelling by the Australians is far more powerful than they imagined.

Seeing his subordinates fleeing in all directions, Fang Yuanwu became anxious and shouted: "Hurry up, everyone!" It took a lot of time to reload the cannon for one round, and as long as he rushed up in time, he would not suffer a second round. Second-rate.

However, his estimation was wrong. When he managed to gather the troops, the second round of shells had already roared in. Amidst the screams and wailing, his men and horses scattered like birds and beasts, and Fang Yuanwu couldn't stand it anymore. Wrapped in the rebellious army, he fled for his life.

"The Wuzhou Squadron of the National Army is attacking, and it must be wiped out."

The Wuzhou Squadron quickly attacked and quickly wiped out Fang Yuanwu's 200 troops. Except for Fang Yuanwu himself who escaped with his cronies based on his familiarity with the terrain, almost none of them slipped through the net.

Li Sanjiu, who saw this scene on Yanxi Mountain, was immediately discouraged. The two hundred people didn't even have the time to drink saliva, and they were defeated in an instant. Between the huge gap in strength, Li Sanjiu suddenly woke up from a dream. It is completely impossible, and there is no need to think about looting Lianzhou City, and it is not their turn to pay the redemption fee for Lianzhou City.Escaping is the most important thing right now - I'm afraid it won't work during the day, so I can only break out at night and hide in the mountains to hang around with the Australians, forgive them for not having the ability to search and suppress.

He was shouting loudly for everyone to "stick to it", but the shells flew towards the mountain.

Although the shooting range of the 12-pound mountain grenade is relatively small, the shooting angle is very large. At this time, the grenade was thrown towards Yanxi Mountain.In an instant, the camp was filled with smog and rumbling noises, and the Yao people's armed forces, who were already frightened, were in a mess.

"Everyone, don't make a mess!" Li Sanjiu shouted desperately, and rushed towards the gate of the village with his cronies—there was the road pass up the mountain, and it was the only way for the thieves to attack the mountain.The Kun thieves will inevitably concentrate their main force to seize this pass first.

Sure enough, as soon as they rushed to the entrance of the village, they bumped into Li Miaolian's soldiers head-on.Li Sanjiu yelled loudly, brandishing a broadsword and rushed forward, but Li Miaolian used a double-barreled shotgun, and a hail of bullets rained down on Li Sanjiu's side, almost killing and wounding all of Li Sanjiu's cronies.Li Sanjiu himself was also injured, and was finally snatched back by the soldiers.The Yao people's armed camp on Yanxi Mountain suddenly lost its command.

In the chaos, the Fubo Army brigade came up the mountain and wiped them out one by one. The camp on the mountain was already disintegrated, and each platoon of troops fled for their lives. However, the Fubo Army had already ambushed by the road down the mountain, and a row of guns fired indiscriminately. , and then bayonet charge directly from the flanks, the brigade can be defeated in an instant.

Before [-] a.m., the Yao people's armed forces on Yanxi Mountain no longer existed, and only hundreds of people were left gathered in the "old camp" where food was stored. Can save.It's just that it is surrounded by the Fubo army on all sides, and it will fall sooner or later.

Although Li Sanjiu was injured, he was fine.At this moment, he no longer thinks about the great cause of "Tuzhizhou"-how to break out from here is the real business.

While thinking about something, someone came to report: "Yonghua's Pan Tianshun has arrived."

He recognized Pan Tianshun. It was self-evident that he was going up the mountain at the moment, and he came to persuade him to surrender.

"What are you doing here!" Li Sanjiu looked at Pan Tianshun, wishing he could chop off the old man's head with one knife, and then dismember it to vent his anger, but right now it was tantamount to seeking his own death.He could only suppress his anger and asked.

Pan Tianshun was also very scared - this Li Sanjiu is not a kind person!What's more, I drank blood wine with Tianchanggong of Yonghua Geyao and him, and if I was really angry, I killed him directly, and no one dared to say anything wrong.However, the whole village is now in the hands of the Australians, even if they ask him to go up the mountain to say surrender, he dare not refuse to come.

Pan Tianshun managed to convey the words: Yang Zeng wanted them to go down the mountain and surrender immediately, waiting to be dealt with.As long as they can surrender in time, the opponent guarantees the safety of the surrendered people, and they will be allowed to return to their respective platoons after the war, and they will never leave any difficulties.

"Otherwise?" Li Sanjiu asked.

"Otherwise...otherwise..." Pan Tianshun quietly looked around at the leaders and Tianchanggongs, "The Australians will set fire to the mountain, leaving no one...kill them all..."

As soon as this remark came out, all the platoons gathered around Li Sanjiu and the soaring elders whispered to each other. If it is said that before the Fubo army attacked, they still had the idea of ​​desperately breaking out of the encirclement and returning to the mountains to do other things, but No one thought so after the melee just now.

Li Sanjiu is unwilling to surrender—once he surrenders, life and death will be at the hands of the enemy.Since ancient times, when officers and soldiers came to Zhenyao, although they said "don't ask if they are threatened", they were killed very badly. Not to mention the leaders of the Yaozhai, even ordinary Yao people were often slaughtered.He who leads the rebellion will undoubtedly die.

He also wanted to fight again to see if he could get out. As long as he returned to the mountains, it didn't matter whether it was the Ming army or the Australians, they couldn't do anything to them.However, he is leading the "Allied Forces" after all, that is, the young men of this platoon, and it is not clear whether he can still listen to himself in this precarious environment.To say that the only reliable ones are a dozen of his buddies--more than half of them were killed or injured.

Seeing the platoons of Tianchang Gong and the head of affairs looking at him with unfriendly eyes, Li Sanjiu secretly felt terrified, isn't he going to take the blame for himself as the "culprit"?Wouldn't it be a bad thing if he tied himself up and went down the mountain to surrender!
When he was secretly startled, Tian Changgong, who was in a row of horses and arrows, also came to him and said in a low voice: "Surrender, the young and strong who don't surrender to Ba Pai Yao are all dying on this mountain. Even if the Australians don't do anything, the Han people at the bottom of the mountain The village also has to wipe out each of our platoons."

At other times, Li Sanjiu, who was already the emperor of the horse and arrow, would not take him seriously, but now Li Sanjiu had to bow his head.Where there is life, there is hope."Just caress" first, and then care about.

By the way, Pan Tian came back with the news of victory, Ba Pai Yao was willing to surrender, and Lianzhou City declared a relief.

There were more than 1000 Yaoding captured during the surrender and battle. Except for the hundreds of people who broke up and fled, almost the entire army was wiped out.Since the young and strong men of the entire Ba Pai Yao were dispatched in full force, most of the leaders of the various platoons also went to the city of Lianzhou, and their casualties were not small, at least one-third of them were killed or injured in the battle
"Treat the wounded, and bury the dead." Huang Chao issued an order, "The captives will be given road signs to allow them to go home. The leaders of each platoon will remain in the camp as hostages—they will be handed over to the temporary nationals of Yangshan." The army squad is in charge."

The reason for issuing the roads is that in order to go back to Ba Pai Yao, one must pass through the Luming Pass, and they would not be able to pass without the roads.

"Is it appropriate to let them all go?" Fu Debang worried, "Won't they have to rebel when they go back?"

Zhou Liangchen also hurriedly came to suggest that he should take this opportunity to slaughter all the captured people and solve Ba Pai Yao once and for all.

"Ba Pai Yao lost a lot this time, and more than 600 people were killed in battle alone—this is not a small number." Huang Chao said, "there are probably no more than 5000 male men in Ba Pai Yao."
