Chapter ○95 [Rising, Battle of Western Suburbs] Five
Qu Hongda and Long Qingfeng looked at Wu Xing's direction at the same time. Long Qingfeng's eyes seemed to shine with the light of victory, while Qu Hongda looked surprised. Then he saw that Wu Xing only brought forty or fifty people, and his face
He immediately showed a disdainful smile and said to the soldiers behind him: "Leave it to you!"
There were more than 500 soldiers of Qu Hongda, and they immediately rushed towards Wu Xing. Wu Xing calmly waved his right hand, and the brothers who had come down from Liangshan Mountain immediately divided into two rows, with one row squatting on the ground and the other standing behind him.
, as soon as Wu Xing released his right hand, there was an immediate "bang bang bang..." sound. Suddenly, Qu Hongda's soldiers screamed, and there were more than 20 dead and wounded. Please bear in mind
Qu Hongda was shocked when he heard the sound: "Fire gun? Impossible, how can the range of a fire gun be so far?" In fact, the fire gun in the late Ming Dynasty was generally not as far as a bow and arrow. It was a short-range combat tool, as improved by Wu Xing.
This kind of shooting range has more than doubled the original range. Before Qu Hongda could react, Wu Xing waved his left hand. The squatting brother immediately stood up and retreated, while the brother standing behind immediately took a step forward and squatted down.
Wu Xing waved his hand again and heard "bang bang bang..." After dozens of gunshots were fired, dozens more of Qu Hongda's soldiers were killed and injured.
Although Mu Linfeng had heard Wu Xing describe the power of his improved fire blunderbuss, he had never seen the Liangshan brothers use fire blunderbuss. Such well-trained operation was exactly like the Western army during World War I. The Western army at that time
The same goes for using muskets, which are divided into two or three rows, because at this time it is known that the guns in the late Qing Dynasty did not have continuous fire. Every time a gun is fired, it takes several seconds or even ten seconds to replenish the ammunition, and then
Dividing the manpower into two or three batches fills this loophole. After the people in front have completed the design, they quickly retreat to replenish ammunition, while the people in the rear quickly move forward and continue shooting. This cycle continues. In the era of cold weapons, this method
Have an absolute advantage.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Qu Hongda's soldiers had been wiped out by the Lianshan brothers led by Wu Xing. Only a hundred people were at a loss, neither advancing nor retreating. Qu Hongda no longer cared about the fate of the officers and soldiers.
Even if they live or die, they will also care about their own soldiers. Unlike other officers and soldiers, most of these people have been with him since he was nothing. They are absolutely sincere. Every death of this sincere person means one less person, Qu Hongda immediately shouted
: "Return quickly!"
More than a hundred of Qu Hongda's soldiers retreated from the shooting range in shock. Dozens of them were shot to death by fire cannons as they retreated. Seeing the heavy casualties among Qu Hongda's soldiers, other officers and soldiers couldn't help but hesitate. Long Qingyun roared angrily.
A cry: "Kill!" When the Qinglong congregation saw that the reinforcements had arrived, they were immediately full of morale and the killing noise was loud. Wu Xing immediately took cover and approached Mu Linfeng.
After meeting up, Mu Linfeng praised: "You are indeed well-trained!"
Wu Xing said with a serious face: "Mr. Su was very angry when he found out about this, saying that even so, the Mu family is a minister of the Ming Dynasty and should not rebel and cause rebellion. In anger, Mr. Su went north to find Mr. Mu. Now only Liu Wanshi is in the house.
With a few brothers, Jinling City is now in chaos, and the streets are full of people from the Qinglong Society. I have asked Liu Wanshi to protect Mu Mansion. There will be no danger for the time being. Miss Zheng has temporarily arranged to live in Mu Mansion.
I've also secretly sent someone to notify the Feng Mansion. I've also asked people to put my sister-in-law's body in a safe place, so don't worry, brother."
Mu Linfeng patted Wu Xing on the shoulder and said: "It is difficult for people in this era to understand our thoughts, just as it is difficult for us to understand theirs, but as long as we brothers work together, we can be successful. But you also know that we are
Regardless of my background, I would like to take a break, but the situation is often pressing. If Yuanyuan is humiliated, the old thief Zhu Changxun will have to die. Since you and I have already died once, there is nothing to be afraid of. Why not make a splash?
Let’s do something for him.”
Wu Xing nodded and said: "No matter what Brother Mu says, Wu Xing will definitely follow!"
Mu Linfeng immediately said: "Rescue the Qinglong Guild brothers first!" Mu Linfeng then saw that in addition to the firecrackers in their hands, these brothers each also carried an idle firecracker on their backs, thinking they were brought to the Qinglong Congregation for use.
of.
Wu Xing heard the words and immediately dispatched the Liangshan brothers, and immediately formed a formation to shoot at the officers and soldiers. The officers and soldiers were defeated by the fire cannons, and a gap was immediately opened in the encirclement surrounding the Qinglong Congregation. At this time, the Qinglong Congregation suffered heavy damage. More than a thousand people were only
There were less than 500 people left, and many of them had their hands seriously injured. Under the cover of fire guns, they were fighting and retreating. Long Qingyun and the several masters of Qinglonghui were behind them, and they became more and more courageous as they fought. Mu Linfeng was afraid that they would fall in love with fighting.
, shouted repeatedly: "Second brother, don't be too eager to fight, quickly retreat to the other courtyard."
Long Qingyun roared: "These bastards have hurt so many of my brothers in the Qinglong Society, Long Er wants to make money back."
Mu Linfeng quickly said to Long Qingfeng: "Brother Long, it's better to ask the second brother to retreat quickly. Although we have a blunderbuss, delaying it is really not an option. We need to go to another hospital at this moment and make plans."
Long Qingfeng nodded and said: "Yes, there is probably an uprising in Jinling at this moment. We need to go there as soon as possible to provide support." Then he said to Long Qingyun: "Second brother, return to the other courtyard immediately!"
Although Long Qingyun was reluctant to leave the battlefield, he still had to listen to Long Qingfeng's words. He saw him killing more than a dozen people before slowly retreating. Mu Linfeng asked Wu Xing to cover with firecrackers, and then everyone in the Qinglong congregation retreated.
In another courtyard, Wu Xing ordered his musketeers to occupy the fence, ready to shoot when officers and soldiers rushed up.
When Mu Linfeng and others entered the other courtyard, Long Qingfeng immediately asked Long Qingyun to count the number of people. Instead of counting clearly, a total of 1,103 people were dispatched, but now there were only 4,557 people left, and the losses were higher.
Half, and although many people returned to other hospitals, some had their arms cut off and were bleeding, and they couldn't live long. Some had broken hamstrings. Even if they didn't die, they would be disabled in the future. Due to the severity of their injuries,
There are many people who are seriously injured, but after a thorough reckoning, there are only less than 300 people who are safe and sound.
Mu Linfeng said: "We have lost most of our brothers, but less than two thousand officers and soldiers died. It is not an option to continue like this. We need to leave here as soon as possible. As long as we can enter the city, we will no longer care!"
Long Qingfeng thought for a moment and then said: "Anyone who is not injured can walk out of the backyard tunnel immediately!"
Long Qingyun said: "What about the injured brothers? We can't let them stay here waiting to die, right?"
Long Qingfeng pulled Long Qingyun and whispered: "Even if we take them into the city, they will only be a burden to us and will only destroy our plan, so we have to sacrifice them!"
Mu Linfeng and Long Qingyun were shocked at the same time: "What? How can this be done? How can you abandon these brothers?"
