Chapter ○4 [Thousands of people defending the city, a dying battle] Part 1
Just as Zheng Xiyu was intoxicated by Mu Linfeng's tenderness, Mu Linfeng slowly pushed Zheng Xiyu away, and Zheng Xiyu almost buried her head in the ground in shame. Please remember
Mu Linfeng was disappointed in his heart and said: "Oh, if it weren't for such a big event in Jinling, I would have to show you my power tonight!" Then he said to Zheng Xiyu: "You are so beautiful when you are not angry..."
Before Mu Linfeng finished speaking, he heard a "pop" sound, and Mu Linfeng felt pain on his face. He saw Zheng Xiyu angrily yelling: "Do you think I am aggressive and arrogant? I will show you how arrogant I am!"
Mu Linfeng's original intention was to praise Zheng Xiyu's beauty, but he didn't want to make Zheng Xiyu so angry, so he quickly said: "No, no, that's not what I meant..."
Zheng Xiyu snorted coldly and said: "I am born with this temper. If you don't like it, you can go to your Miss Bian or Miss Gu..." After saying this, she ran away and disappeared into the night.
Mu Linfeng called out several times, but received no answer, and sighed: "Oh, this hot temper is really..."
Mu Linfeng touched his face as he spoke, and thought to himself: "Oh, it's the hardest to bear the kindness of a beauty. Mu Linfeng, who told you to be tempted by her? Even if you get a few more slaps, you still have to show your face.
Take that?" After thinking about it, he looked at the place where Zheng Xiyu disappeared for a long time and said, "I don't know when he will appear again!"
Mu Linfeng suddenly slapped himself in the face and said: "Now Jinling is in danger, you are still thinking about these things. If Jinling is destroyed, you will immediately become a rebel and your life will not be saved..." As he said, Mu Linfeng used Dragon Step.
Rushing to the west gate of Jinling City. After arriving at the west gate, Mu Linfeng discovered that the number of people at the west gate had doubled. When Chen Dahan saw Mu Linfeng, he immediately said: "Mr. Mu, you are here!"
Mu Linfeng nodded and said, "Well! How is the situation here? Have Qu Hongda's men arrived yet?"
Chen Dahan said: "Well, the person Long Ye photographed has not returned yet. I don't know what the situation is!" Before Chen Dahan finished speaking, he heard someone say: "Here he is! Here he is, the officers and soldiers are here!"
Originally, the people on the city wall were very idle, chatting and bragging... But now when they heard that the officers and soldiers were coming, they immediately loaded their guns and squatted by the city wall, staring into the distance.
Mu Linfeng and Chen Dahan also squatted aside. Mu Linfeng raised his head slightly and looked outside the city gate. He saw only a few fires in the distance, stretching for several miles, like a fire dragon, circling towards here. Mu Linfeng felt cold in his heart and said:
"Can we really hold on?" Mu Linfeng was really unsure. Although he had had group fights before, this was his first time. Fighting and gang fights were completely different concepts.
Mu Linfeng saw everyone squatting against the wall and thought to himself: "This won't work. If the bullets run out, it will give the other party time to breathe!" He quickly said: "Don't lean against the wall. There are 120 people here.
The people were divided into two groups, sixty people lined up, one person squatting every two steps, and another person standing behind. After the first sixty people finished shooting, they immediately stepped back to replenish the gunpowder and loaded the gun, and the next sixty people immediately made up for the shooting, and so on.
, saves a lot of time and does not give the enemy any chance to breathe..."
Chen Dahan praised: "Good attention, Mr. Mu is really extraordinary!"
Mu Linfeng smiled slightly and thought to himself: "I also learned this from watching Wu Xing's method. To be precise, I learned it from the Eight-Nation Alliance Army!" But at this moment, he suddenly remembered something and immediately said to Chen Dahan: "Not good.
, the city gate is empty, if the enemy forces attack the city gate with earth artillery, the city gate will be easily breached."
Chen Dahan's expression changed and he said anxiously: "What should we do? There are only more than a hundred of us in total, and we really can't spare any manpower..."
Mu Linfeng said: "Go and ask Mr. Long for more manpower. Not too many. One or two hundred people will be enough. Those who are strong must be strong!"
Chen Dahan said: "But Master Long issued a death order. You are not allowed to go downstairs until the war is over or you die on the tower..."
Mu Linfeng shouted: "What's the use of guarding the city tower like this? You don't know how many people there are on the other side. Even if you squeeze hard, you can break through the city gate. Once the city gate is broken, do you think we can survive?"
While Chen Dahan was hesitating, someone said: "Master Mu, Master Chen Xiang, the officers and soldiers are already less than two miles away from the city gate..."
Mu Linfeng pushed Chen Dahan and said, "Go quickly. I, Mu Linfeng, will bear all the consequences. If you go, just say that I asked you to go..."
Chen Dahan gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, Master Mu, I'll leave this place to you. Dahan will come as he goes. Master, you must persist until I bring my brothers!"
After Chen Dahan left, Mu Linfeng immediately said: "Everyone, get ready! Shoot as soon as the enemy enters within one mile to catch them off guard!"
Time passed by second by second, and Mu Linfeng counted the seconds in his heart. This second passed ten or twenty times slower than usual. Although Mu Linfeng had experienced a tough battle earlier in the other courtyard, that one
Mu Linfeng didn't participate in the battle at all, he was just a bystander. However, the battle that was about to break out now was going to be directed by him personally, and his mood was very different from before.
A brother next to Mu Linfeng said: "Sir, the army has entered the shooting range!"
Seeing that this brother was much calmer than him, Mu Linfeng couldn't help but patted his shoulder and suddenly said loudly: "Shoot!"
As soon as Mu Linfeng finished speaking, he heard "bang, bang, bang..." dozens of gunshots, and there was a chaos outside the city wall, with horses neighing and people roaring. Mu Linfeng looked up and saw that the figures of officers and soldiers were vaguely distinguishable under the bright moon.
, Mu Linfeng said: "Keep shooting, don't stop!"
But I heard one of the enemy troops outside the city shouting: "Retreat, retreat, withdraw from the range of the firecrackers..." As the enemy troops were in panic, the front team became the rear team, and the rear team became the front team, and retreated backwards.
Linfeng immediately waved his hand and said: "Stop shooting!"
When the cannons stopped firing, the officers and soldiers also stopped moving. Mu Linfeng looked closely and saw one of them riding a big horse. It was Commander-in-Chief Qu Hongda. He looked towards the city wall and mouthed.
He cursed a lot, but couldn't hear clearly what he said.
Mu Linfeng said to the brothers: "Everyone, please be vigilant. As long as the officers and soldiers enter the range, they will shoot immediately and stop as soon as they exit the range. We have to waste time with them. As long as it lasts until dawn, it will be our victory..." Mu Linfeng
But I thought in my heart: "I don't know whether Wu Xing and his second brother are alive or dead at this moment. If they are alive, they should act according to the plan and appear behind the officers and soldiers!"
Mu Linfeng was thinking when he heard someone say: "Shoot, the officers and soldiers are coming up again!" Then "Bang, bang, bang..." After dozens of gunshots, the front team retreated, and the rear team took over, and immediately started shooting again.
, after dozens of rounds of this cycle, the gunfire stopped again, thinking that the officers and soldiers wanted to break through, but failed.
Mu Linfeng looked around and saw hundreds of corpses in front of the officers and soldiers, and Qu Hongda was roaring and pointing in the formation.
Immediately, Mu Linfeng saw the officers and soldiers starting to change their formations, and moved the shield soldiers to the platoon.
After Wu Xing improved the fire gun, although its accuracy, range, and power have been greatly enhanced, it has not yet reached the ability to penetrate shields.
If it were an ordinary wooden shield, it might still be possible, but Qu Hongda's officers and soldiers all used iron shields.
Mu Linfeng knew that trouble was coming. If Qu Hongda arranged these shield soldiers at the forefront and moved forward step by step, then the shield soldiers could reach the city wall smoothly.
At that time, the city gate could be broken down in the blink of an eye. How to solve this problem? Mu Linfeng thought about it but couldn't think of a way. While Mu Linfeng was thinking about it, Qu Hongda's officers and soldiers were already pushing towards the city wall.
The Qinglong Club and Liangshan brothers started shooting again. This time, the effect was not as good as before, and it could even be said that it had no effect. Some people began to curse: "Damn, these idiots actually used iron shields to lead the battle, and the fire blunderbuss simply fired.
Why don't you wear it!" Mu Linfeng knew that the crisis was coming, and if he couldn't think of a way to deal with it, the destruction of Jinling City would be just around the corner.
Mu Linfeng suddenly had an idea and thought of Long Qingfeng's use of gunpowder tubes during the Battle of King Fu Wang. If he could have gunpowder tubes at this moment and throw a few of them into the group of shield soldiers, he would be able to immediately cause them to become a mess.
But where to find gunpowder tubes? It suddenly occurred to Long Qingfeng that he had used them before, why didn't he bury some outside the city beforehand? It was really a mystery. Mu Linfeng only regretted that there were no mobile phones in this era, otherwise he would just directly
Call Long Qingfeng and ask him to send someone to deliver some gunpowder tubes. It might still be possible.
But at this moment, someone shouted: "The shield soldiers have marched less than a mile away!" Mu Linfeng looked over and saw that indeed, Qu Hongda's shield soldiers were approaching the west city wall step by step.
Linfeng suddenly saw that only the first two rows of Qu Hongda's camp were made up of shield soldiers, while the last few rows were made up of archers. Qu Hongda must have wanted to use his shield soldiers to get within the shooting range of the archers, and then he started to counterattack.
Mu Linfeng's heart immediately flashed: "The shield soldiers have shields, but the archers have no shields!" Then he laughed immediately. The brothers didn't understand why Mu Linfeng was still laughing at this moment. Mu Linfeng said: "Don't worry about the shield soldiers.
Shoot the archers in the back row of the shield soldiers first, and never let them enter the shooting range..."
Although everyone did not understand what it meant, they still fired according to the order. From time to time, many archers in Qu Hongda's camp were killed and injured. Some archers fired arrows at the city wall in panic, but unfortunately they did not enter their shooting range, and the arrows flew to the city wall.
They fell one after another in the first three feet. Mu Linfeng asked the brothers to speed up their shooting. Suddenly Qu Hongda's officers and soldiers began to commotion again. The archers were so frightened that they retreated repeatedly. They could not shoot at each other, and they were treated as live targets by the other side. In this way
You would be a fool if you didn't retreat. As soon as the archers retreated, the shield soldiers in front were immediately helpless. Although there was no danger for the time being, they felt pressure in their hearts and started to panic. Mu Linfeng took the opportunity to ask people to target the panic shield soldiers.
Soldiers can shoot as long as any part of their body is exposed.
From time to time, Qu Hongda's shield soldiers were in panic, and many of them exposed their heads, and they were instantly killed and injured. At this moment, the brothers of Qinglong Society and Liangshan immediately became energetic. What could be more refreshing than shooting the enemy so unscrupulously?
What? Mu Linfeng understands this psychology. Human beings are born with a tendency to rob and kill. The harder the enemy is to resist and the more helpless they appear, the more they can seduce the desire to kill in their hearts.
At first, under Qu Hongda's roar, the shield soldiers could barely hold on and advanced several tens of meters further. However, due to panic, more and more people were killed and injured, and the panic of the shield soldiers became more and more obvious.
The iron-walled camp immediately collapsed under the fire of the cannons. The shield soldiers fled backwards in panic. Due to the panic, many shield soldiers fell down. They were not injured at all, but they were trampled to death by their companions. It was like
If you throw a stone into a calm water surface, it may not be big, but it will still cause quite a ripple. If the lake surface sways in the wind, the ripples will turn into whirlpools. This is a chain reaction.
Mu Linfeng knew that this good thing would not last long. As long as Qu Hongda made a slight adjustment, he would definitely attack again. If he repeated this, he would definitely be able to break through the defense line and reach the city wall. Mu Linfeng took advantage of Qu Hongda's attack again.
Launch an attack and immediately send someone to Qinglonghui to ask for a gunpowder tube. If you have a gunpowder tube, it shouldn't be a problem to last until dawn and consume half of Qu Hongda's men.
Qu Hongda's officers and soldiers made a slight adjustment and immediately launched another attack on the city wall. At this moment, the formation was adjusted so that each row of shield soldiers was followed by a row of archers. After that, they tried the shield soldiers again, followed by the archers... The shield soldiers
The archers were protected tightly, and although the movement was a bit slow, no loopholes could be seen for a while, and it was really impeccable.
Mu Linfeng was anxious, but at this moment Chen Dahan arrived with hundreds of big men. Mu Linfeng got down from the city tower and immediately said to Chen Dahan: "Let these brothers block the city gate immediately. No matter what, we can't let them go."
The city gate failed!" He patted Chen Dahan on the shoulder and said meaningfully: "Whether Jinling City can be defended or not depends on Brother Chen!"
Chen Dahan patted his chest and shouted to his brothers: "Today's battle will affect the life and death of our Qinglong Club. It all depends on our brothers..." The brothers of the Qinglong Club immediately roared and said: "I swear to live and die with the Qinglong Club!
"After saying that, Chen Dahan led a group of one hundred people to block the city gate. Mu Linfeng couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and said: "I don't think these people usually speak freely and do nonsense, but at critical times they can still regard death as if they were dead!"
When Mu Linfeng went up to the city tower again, he saw that Qu Hongda's officers and soldiers below the city were less than half a mile away from the city wall. Seeing that they were about to reach the range of the bow and arrow, Mu Linfeng was anxious, but at this moment, Mu Linfeng suddenly heard
Gunshots rang out from behind Qu Hongda's army, and Mu Linfeng said with great joy: "Wu Xing and his second brother are still alive, they finally took action!"
Qu Hongda was also shocked. He didn't expect that a few dozen people would dare to follow his 30,000-strong army and dare to provoke him rashly. How could he not be surprised? He quickly turned the horse's head and mobilized 2,000 people to round up him, but he also saw that
Although Wu Xing's fire cannon was too powerful, he was still wary of it. The fire cannon man on the city wall was fixed there after all, and Wu Xing and his group were indeed running around at will. If they didn't move back while shooting, they wouldn't have already captured Qu Hongda.
Two thousand men and horses were led into the woods nearby, leaving Qu Hongda's main force.
