Chapter 475 Jilin City, it's over
Chapter 475 Jilin City, it’s over...
In the early morning of May 31, in the northeast, on the banks of the Songhua River, the Jilin City was already crowded with panicked Manchu soldiers. An army they had never seen before actually surrounded Jilin City. It was not right to surround them. It should be said that they blocked the four gates of Jilin City.
At this time, a crowd of people surging in the North Gate Tower, and several figures wearing cotton armor of Qing generals strode to the North Gate Tower. "Has it been discovered?" As soon as he stepped onto the city tower, the leader was the leader who was originally demoted for the fifty-nine-year-old party case and later died in Bazhou because of the new Jilin general, and had no choice but to resume his position again. He looked at the enemy outside the city, turned to the gate guard beside him and asked. "Is it the Russians here again?"
"General, he is not an old Russian, but... a group of Han people." The face of the city gate guard was extremely hard to see.
"Oh, that's fine, what did you say?" Hengxiu breathed a sigh of relief just now. After reacting, his eyes couldn't help but widen. "You said those outside are Han people?!"
"Yes, general, the last general sent someone to investigate. As soon as he arrived at the city gate, he asked the other party to bombard him several shots. Later, they asked to call us to surrender immediately, otherwise, in half an hour, they would attack and not leave any prisoners."
"Don't keep the prisoners? Joke, when did the Hangou become so arrogant? Are they crazy? Don't you know where this place is?" A general couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Boat? We don't have cannons too, why don't you hit him? "A general next to him shouted loudly.
"We have cannons, but..." The city gate guard tilted his mouth. "Most of our cannons have rusted. We just fired two cannons, but one of them exploded. Let the last general beat and scolded him. No gunner was willing to fire again."
"Bastard, this is outrageous. Those bastards even rust the cannons." Hengxiu was furious and pointed the whip in his hand at the city gate guard and scolded him.
"General, is this unlikely? How could the Han people have an army? And they appear under our Jilin City? You know, our place is north of Shengjing." Next to it, a genital leader looked unbelievable.
"No matter whether it's a Han or an old Russian, the other party is all the Bang Mansion and generals. The last general asked to fight and rushed forward to fight. It's whether the Han Dog's cannon was fast or the horses of our Eight Banners were fast and hard." A angrily assistant leader shouted.
"When will those Han dog refugees have troops?" Another general also looked at the army about one mile away from the city tower with contempt.
"I don't care, I dare to make trouble on my general's territory. I'm really impatient to see that they live. Anba Lingwu, give you a Niu Lu cavalry and kill the Han dogs blocking the north gate for me." Hengxiu narrowed his eyes and looked outside the city, and his contempt was even more serious. The other party was all infantry and there were no traces of cannons. I'm afraid that even if there were, there would definitely not be many. What's more, here is where it is the base camp of Manzhou and the Eight Banners of Manzhou. The Han army outside this gate had only 3,000 people. Can't we deal with it?
"I will obey the order!" The Xieling, who had just shouted that he was going out to fight, was overjoyed and walked down the city gate tower quickly.
"How long will it take?" Fang Laosi used a telescope to observe the crowd on the city tower. After finding a large number of Qing generals wearing cotton armor, he couldn't help but look happy.
"There are fifteen minutes left, colonel." The staff officer next to him looked at the pocket watch in his hand and replied loudly.
"Let our mortars aim at the other party's city tower, huh, wait, don't be busy, the other party has actually opened the city gate. What's going on? Do you want to fight with us?" Fang Laosi grinned.
"It should be true, but why did they rush over without even formation? Isn't this asking for death?" The staff officer next to him kept wondering.
"Hmph, they may think we are looking for death. In their eyes, the Han people are only worthy of digging soil in the fields to find food. The Qing Tartars were invincible in the world, and they claimed that they were invincible in everything." Fang Laosi stretched out his tongue and licked the corners of his lips, his eyes filled with blood-devouring and fierce red light. "Prepare to fight, remember, fight again when you get closer, so that those dog-good Qing dogs know who is the most powerful army in the world!"
"Yes, Colonel." The messenger beside him replied loudly with his head held high, quickly passing the order to the soldiers sitting silently. Soon, all the soldiers stood up, and two rows of soldiers carried rifles on their shoulders, walked to the front of the team, and then began to take out the magazine from the waist in an orderly manner and pressed into the bullet entrance. The first row was kneeling and the second row was aiming at the approaching enemy cavalry in a standing posture. The other Marines behind them looked at the two rows of rifle companies with only two hundred people.
The rifles in their hands are not flintlock fire, but real breech rifles. However, due to the complex process of this kind of firearm, the number of prepared troops is not large at present, but the shooting distance and speed of these firearms are far behind any kind of firearm of this era.
Even the revolver is incomparable. "...300 meters, 250 meters, ready! Open fire!" Accompanied by the roar of the range finder, two hundred and twelve people, including the commander of the rifle company, pulled the trigger.
Company commander Ye Gaojin passed the sight through the sight, covered the general who was rushing in the front, pulled the trigger, and a faint white smoke spread out and soon disappeared without a trace.
The company commander could clearly look at the face of the Eight Banners general who had already rushed opposite him with a shocked expression on his face. He lowered his head in disbelief, as if he was looking at his chest. Then, the sword in his hand slid down and his body also tilted backwards. The rising hind hooves of the war horse happened to collide with his head, like a rotten watermelon wrapped in the cotton armor helmet. His left and right were also a scene of people slitting up and down.
"Firearms, what's going on? How come they have so many firearms?!" On the city gate tower, a general screamed and almost overcame the shrew who was scolding the street. The Jilin general widened his eyes in disbelief. Looking at the brave Eight Banners Elf Spirit Cavalry, he seemed to climb up the edge of a red-hot pot, and all of them fell to the ground with the courageous green smoke. Although he was brave and unscheming, the idiot Anba Lingwu, who had climbed to the leadership of the assistant leader, did not even set up the formation and rushed towards the Han people. But after all, all the eight Eight Rider Elf Spirit Cavalry was all led by the Eight Rider.
Three hundred cavalry, one charge, the momentum alone was enough to make people scared, but no one expected that the enemy did not move at all, but instead began to fight back. The sound of gunfire like fried beans made Hengxiu and other Qing generals numb. I am afraid that only the army of the Russians had this momentum.
"Let them come back, Mingjin, let the cavalry retreat." Next to him, the deputy commander-in-chief Xiulin shouted loudly. Soon, Mingjin's voice sounded from the city tower. The Eight Banners cavalry, who had already made the opponent's beating, were stunned by the head, then panic and turned toward the way he came.
In just a few shots, Yi Niulu, or three hundred cavalry, had already fallen down nearly half. Looking at the retreating figures, the four of them had no intention of letting go of them at all, and issued a loud order: "The special shooter continued to shoot, and the others ceased fire."
There are not many super shooters, but there are many in the rifle company, with at least twenty people, all of them top shooters who have scopes installed on the rifle and can accurately hit the target within a distance of 500 meters.
Behind him, although the death-seeking gunshots were much more sparse, they were still stubbornly ringing. You could always hear the howls of your robes around you. The Eight Banners Cavalry rushed hard, and the city gate was right in front. In any case, as long as you ran faster than your comrades, you would be safer.
Looking at the cavalry who fled back and forth even exceeded the speed of charge, rushing into the city gate beneath him in a daze. Looking at the corpses of the people and horses extending over the ground, and the soldiers who were still alive, screaming and moaning, Hengxiu felt a sense of fear for no reason. At the beginning, the intention of underestimating the enemy and arrogance had already been stuffed with an asshole. Now, there was a trace of fear in his somewhat confused head.
"It must not be a Han person. It cannot be such a powerful firearm." A general beside him tried hard to calm his voice. "It must be an old Russian. I have never seen anyone with such a powerful firearm except the old Russians."
"General, what should I do now?"
"What's the matter with the Russians? Can their muskets collapse our Jilin City?" Xiulin glared fiercely at a pale subordinate next to him. One and two bullied the common people better than anyone else. Now he saw that the other party's firearm was sharp and his legs were even weak.
"Col. It's less than five minutes left. Should I ask them again or not?" The staff officer looked at the pocket watch in his hand again and said to Fang Laosi.
"Forget it, I don't have that time to tell the mortars to focus on the city tower. I want all the Qing dog officials to see their ancestors." Fang Laosi rolled his eyes, and the pair of triangular eyes under the broom eyebrows looked even more vicious.
"Yes! The order is sent, all artillery targets the city tower..."
On the city tower, several Qing generals still failed to argue for whether to send rescue envoys to come up with a result. At this moment, they heard the muffled sound like rolling thunder. All the Qing soldiers standing on the city gate tower looked forward. A little bit of black shadow accompanied the night, like the sea soaring in the sky, and arrived above their heads in a very short time. Then, balls of fire began to appear in their eyes.
Hengxiu looked at the strange deadly flames and the collapsed city gate tower, and only had a desperate thought in his heart: Jilin City, it's over...
