Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Just as the governors of Guangdong and Guangdong and the governor of Guangdong were arguing over whether to rescue Chaozhou, the offensive and defensive battle in Chaozhou City had ended with the first victory of the official army.

    ¡°In fact, the officers and soldiers at the top of the city didn¡¯t fire a single shot at all. The artillery they fired was random and too far off, causing almost no damage.  It can be seen that shooting is a university subject. Without scientific study, you will not be able to shoot well!

    So you have to learn the postures well, comrades!

    The casualties caused by the defenders to the pirates' Dajinya Division basically came from that explosion Those were some adobe houses deliberately left behind by the civil engineering team when demolishing civilian houses, and then thousands of kilograms of gunpowder were buried - waiting for those pirates  When they came ashore to escape gunfire, they would naturally run behind these remaining houses.  The Rangers hiding in the hole can light the fuse and give them a wake-up call!

    The plan was very clever and the effect was quite good. A dozen pirates were killed on the spot and hundreds were injured. The big gold tooth was immediately overwhelmed. Before he could stand firm, he was defeated and retreated again with the remaining soldiers.  Back on the ship.

    When the soldiers and civilians at the top of the city saw this, they burst into loud cheers, as if they had won a great battle.  Although they were just spectators, at least their fear of pirates was gone.

    The only problem is that this consumes too much gunpowder. If it were replaced by those cities in the south of the Yangtze River, the entire city's inventory could be exhausted at once.

    But people in the north may not believe it. Those big businessmen in Chaozhou City donated a total of 80,000 kilograms of gunpowder, which was enough for the imperial court to launch a medium-sized war.

    Considering that they must have hidden secrets at home, it is not an exaggeration to say that Chaozhou City is an arsenal.  So these few thousand kilograms are just water and will be wasted.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    The city defense leadership center knew very well that due to the poor training level of the soldiers and civilians on the city, only by using as much gunpowder and firearms as possible and attacking from a high position could they cause enough damage to the enemy troops and make them want to retreat.

    The ordnance team even made some imitations of enlarged versions of thunderbolt fireballs. They filled wooden barrels with gunpowder, iron nails, and broken porcelain pieces. When the pirates attacked the city, they lit them and threw them away

    In a word, let¡¯s make the explosions and artillery fire more intense!

    ??~~

    There was great joy at the top of the city over there, celebrating the victory in the first battle, but the atmosphere in Zeng Yiben's fleet in the center of the river was much more depressed.

    After comforting the mournful Da Jinya for a few words, Zeng Benben said to everyone: "Da Jinya has found out the real status of the officers and soldiers, and today's goal is achieved. It's not early, let's go back to the ship to rest, and we'll meet again tomorrow.  war."

    All the sea masters nodded in agreement and left one after another.

    Looking at their backs as if they had received an amnesty, Da Jinya said angrily: "These cowards don't want to suffer any loss."

    "It's human nature, don't worry about it." Zeng Yiben was very open-minded and said calmly: "We have been fighting with the army for so many years, haven't you seen it? Every time we attack, we claim to have an army of tens of thousands, but  In fact, most of the troops are just waving flags and shouting to build up momentum. In fact, the governor generals and soldiers can only rely on their own soldiers and confidants, those thousands of troops to fight for their lives. Otherwise, how can we always win with less? "

    "Haha, that's true." Da Jinya felt that it was very useful, and the depression of losing soldiers and generals also dissipated a lot unconsciously.  "Then it's better not to carry those burdens and save some money."

    "This is because you are short-sighted. Elites are important, but those who wave the flag and shout are also indispensable." Zeng Yiben shook his head and comforted his subordinates. Could he really teach him all the treasures he had learned over the years?

    He stopped talking and lowered his voice: "Tonight I will send another death squad to sneak into the city in the dark and steal the city at the fourth watch."

    "Really?" Da Jinya's expression perked up, and he hurriedly covered his mouth and asked in a low voice: "Master, are you sure?"

    "Of course." Zeng Yiben smiled proudly, and he would not tell him right now that he had an internal conspiracy.

    The head of the family must always maintain a sense of mystery. When you have no secrets in front of your subordinates, you are not far away from being betrayed.

    "Then let me lead the team!" Da Jinya was encouraged again and said, "I must get back the place we were in during the day!"

    "No, you have something else to do. I'll send Night Owl to take you there." Zeng Yiben said, "He is used to committing crimes at night and has more experience than you."

    "Oh." Da Jinya could only nod in agreement, and then asked: "Then what does the master want me to do?"

    "You go to Chaoyang." Zeng Yiben took the dry cigarettes packed by his men.  Maritime merchants in Fujian and Guangdong have been exposed to tobacco for many years.; By the time of midnight, Zeng's recharged suicide squad set out. Under the cover of night, they quietly rowed a boat to the west bank of Hanjiang River, then abandoned the boat and landed, quietly heading towards the southern city wall.

    According to the agreement, the internal affairs officer will try to disperse the officers and soldiers guarding that section of the city wall, lower the rope there, and help the death squads climb up the city.

    When the death squads reached the agreed upon location, they heard silence on the city wall, which was in stark contrast to the movement on the nearby city wall.

    After the code was read, several long ropes slowly hung down from the city.

    The death squads were overjoyed and climbed up the knotted rope ladder!
