Ming Zhengzhi, I am Zheng Kezang

249. Battle of Jiangsu and Zhejiang

After tossing for about an hour, the two new forces of the Qibing Battalion and the Qingshan Battalion finally completed the dispatch and launched an attack on the four gates at the same time. No matter whether the range is enough or not, they kept casting towards the top of the city, and the momentum was so huge that it couldn't be added.However, what the Qing soldiers who were releasing fireworks and firecrackers never imagined was that Zheng Jun’s brigade had retreated from all the walls, and there were only one or two watchers on each wall, so this grand sound and light performance It was winking at the blind man.

After less than half an hour of shelling, the Qing army brigade followed the old routine and began to charge.The result of the charge is self-evident, but after the nearly unscathed Qing army occupied the city, they hesitated a little. Those between prudence and recklessness first sent a small group of troops to test their way forward. Since then, the once uniform pace of the Qing army began to become chaotic.

"Hai Ni abandoned the city wall and escaped into the city?" In ancient China, the loss of the city wall usually represented the beginning of the city changing hands. As for the street fighting, the strength of the Qing army was ten times that of the Zheng army. Some of them thought they had the chance to win. "Very good, order all the ministries to move forward bravely, when the Kefu county government gathers to wipe out the sea against the city"

Before Wan Yongqi's order was issued, a Qing soldier who reported the letter was hastily led to him: "The Zuozhongsuo (Xun) under the Qibing Battalion was blocked by Haini on the South Street of the city, and Haini shot and killed him with a bird gun The officers and soldiers of our department have suffered more than a dozen casualties from the Central Left Institute.”

"This is a stubborn resistance against the sea." Wan Yongqi took it for granted. "Despite the death and injury, the command department must rush in"

The shouting Qing army waved their weapons and rushed towards the seemingly thin barricade in front of them, but at a distance of fifty steps, Zheng Junping, who was hiding behind the barricade formed by the door panels and seats, suddenly appeared with a rifle in his hand. It was too late to say it, but Zheng Jun pulled the trigger steadily, and a dozen gun barrels jumped at the same time, and the dense bullets immediately knocked down the Qing army that was rushing forward.

At this time, the shooters of the Zheng Army did not reload them themselves. They handed over the rifles in their hands to the reserve team behind them, and then took the rifles handed over by the reserve team to aim and shoot again. The bullets fired by the army continued continuously, so that the Qing army who tried to use the gap between Zheng Jun's firepower to implement it suffered a big loss.

The gunmen of the Qing army took it for granted that they shot at each other, but the barrel of the Qing army's guns was too thin, the charge was limited, and the power was not enough to penetrate the barrier formed by the door panels, tables and chairs. It is undoubtedly an impossible task to carry out accurate sniping on the exposed heads and shoulders of the soldiers of the Zheng army. Therefore, although the Qing army's counterattack was equally fierce, the effect was quite different. Only a few unlucky Zheng soldiers were unfortunately shot to the end.

However, the number of the Qing army was so large that they could desperately approach regardless of casualties, while the Zheng army had one less casualty. Therefore, after the casualties accumulated to a certain extent, the Zheng army threw out a few There was a shocking thunder, and then under the influence of the smoke from the explosion, he gave up his current position and moved to the second alley.

The Qing army had to leave at least [-] casualties at a street barrier. Although the number was not large, the total amount was considerable. Therefore, the Qing army came up with the idea of ​​using the door panels left by Zheng Jun as shields, but Zheng The rifle rifles of the army are not comparable to the bird guns of the Qing army. Their basic power is enough to break through two layers of cotton armor within fifty steps. The Qing army inflicted damage.

The Qing army, who spent a lot of money to seize the entrance of two alleys, suddenly became enlightened. Several gunmen passed through the storefronts along the street and the second floor of private houses to shoot at Zheng Jun behind the bunker, and the tigers who had stayed outside the city for a while Squat cannons, Flang cannons, and pine cannons were also brought in through the reopened city gates, and the casualties of Zheng Jun began to increase.

Faced with this unfavorable situation, the leader of Zheng Jun, who was blocking the east, south, and west sides, couldn't stop it, so they just bluntly withdrew all the county government offices with stronger fortifications, and only the second sentry on North Street came first. Yang Biao, the leader of the team, had some ideas: "The second squad will stay with me, and the rest will stay with Zhen Tianlei, and squad leader Han will take him back to the county government."

"My lord, what are you?" The squad leader surnamed Han stood on his feet and looked at his officer with surprised eyes. "Why don't I stay, my lord, you lead the rest of the people back?"

"Are you afraid that I will join the enemy?" Yang Biao cursed with a smile, and then straightened his expression. "There are three elder brothers in my family. Some people will pay for their parents when they die, so accept the order!" The remaining 22 soldiers from the two squads and the seven wounded soldiers from the three squads saluted Yang Biao at the same time, watching them go away. In the background, Yang Biao clasped his fists at the eight soldiers who remained on the spot. "Brothers, don't blame me, there are horse leather shrouds everywhere, so put me on the roof now, and then hit me if you see it!"

Zheng Jun, who were scattered among the houses and shops on both sides of the street, quickly found a way to climb to the roof. Just as they climbed to the roof, they didn't know that Zheng Jun had also used the height of the houses along the street. The brigade was rumbling past, heading straight for the county government office, the last stronghold of Zheng Jun.

"Good guy, at least he is a thousand bosses." Yang Biao, who was lying behind the roof, suddenly saw a man in the Qing army's team whose armor was obviously different from the one next to him, so he took aim with a gun. The one Qing soldier who was being targeted was fine, but the other Qing soldier who was separated by two people next to him froze. "Straight mother, it's really a crooked attack."

Not all the officers and soldiers of the Zheng army were as lucky as him to be able to defeat the Qing army without being discovered by the Qing army. The movement of the army was discovered by the Qing army, and as a result, the bows and arrows and the blunderbuss were all shot over, and the soldiers of the Zheng army were immediately enraged on the spot.

But Yang Biao and the others continued to fight, and from time to time there were Qing soldiers who were shot in the back and fell to the ground. Seeing this scene, several Qing soldiers murmured, and immediately someone led people to the house to search. And more of them went to the county government regardless of their care.

"I want to catch me, bah! Grandpa won't play with you!" Yang Biao gestured to Zheng Jun on the opposite roof, and at the same time patted another Zheng Jun who was following behind him, and the two quickly went downstairs , hidden in the winding alleys. "Come on, let's go to Dongcheng!"

Of course, Yang Biao's actions can be regarded as small troubles. Although they can cause a little trouble for the Qing army entering the city, they can't shake the current battle situation.At this moment, the two battalions of the Qing army that had reunited had already divided and surrounded the Kunshan County Government Office and the nearby Town God's Temple and Confucian Temple.

"Old Qin, more than 100 brothers have been lost in the Qibing Battalion, and there are more than 200 who can't afford to be injured. This number is probably indispensable on your side." A quarter naturally made General Li look up to Zheng Jun's strength. "If we continue to fight like this, our two battalion leaders will be almost the same as the Songbei Association."

Qin Guerzilla also lamented a few times, and then pretended to be confused and asked, "What do you mean, brother?"

General Li Shen secretly cursed the old fox, but he had no choice but to point it out directly: "It's not that you and I don't fight sincerely, it's just that the morale is depressed now, and we have to face the possibility of backlash from the sea against the poor. If there is no reward from the general town, I'm afraid that the soldiers below are not easy to appease."

The black eyeballs couldn't see Bai Yinzi, and when he figured out what General Li meant, Qin Guerzhan, who felt that he had no chance to go any further, immediately started thinking about it, so he immediately stated: "Brother, what you said makes sense, but we I have dedicated my allegiance to the Qing Dynasty, and the higher-ups really need to give some rewards."

"What? There are too many casualties, and if there is no reward, I am afraid that the soldiers below will cause chaos." Wan Yongqi was so angry that his nose was neither nose nor eye, but speaking of it, Qibing and Qingshanying could not be directly dispatched by Zheng Duan, and they were not like Song Song. Bei Xie wants to commit crimes and make meritorious deeds, so apart from using silver bullets, he really didn't appease the other party. "Has the man surnamed Hu come back from raising money? What, before he comes back, I know that he is a person who can talk but can't do things."

In fact, Wan Yongqi wronged Hu Wei. You must know that Zheng Jun is now cracking down on the so-called traitors and gentry who colluded with slavery. The original big family has either been robbed, or it is just looking at the wind. If the Qing army wins, it will naturally be sent to the door. There will be no less money, but now that the two parties are still seeing each other, who dares to bet easily?

There is no money but the battle has to go on, so Wan Yongqi thought about it for a while, and decided to resort to a tactic to slow down the army: "Come on, go tell General Li and Qin Guerrilla, and say that the official has sent Hu Mou and others The townships have raised rewards, let them work harder, take down the county government, and the officials will also distribute rewards!"

However, Li and Qin are also veterans and veterans, and Wan Yongqi's tricks are naturally clear. Since he is not good at being strong, he pretends to bombard him a few times with Flang machine guns and tiger squats. , and then sent people to work and yelled around the county government for a while without any effort, which was considered to have completed the work of the tired soldiers, so the report of the attack failed.

Wan Yongqi got this high-sounding false report, so his lungs exploded. He immediately moved the battalion into the city to command himself, and at the same time used the remaining 700 people from the Songbei Association to take over the positions of the two battalions around the county government. The army launched the final blow, but time slipped away inadvertently. Under the scorching sun in the Jiangnan area in August, the Qing army consumed a lot of water every step of its way. It has been reduced to the lowest level, so the scheduled battle plan had to be postponed until sunset. As a result, Zheng Jun got precious time to further strengthen the fortifications and reorganize the army
