Han’s Son is Not a Slave

Chapter 174: Offense and defense (13)

The Hongyi Cannon is too large in size and weighs several thousand kilograms. It can only shoot from a long distance but not from a short distance. Moreover, the position of the cannon will shift due to the huge shock force when it is fired. Therefore, the gunner has to reset and reload every time a cannon is fired. , As a result, the more than ten red cannons on the east city can only intermittently suppress the follow-up troops of the Qing army, but cannot cause mass destruction to the Qing army gathered under the city. ●⌒The top novel, the Taiping army used all kinds of small cannons at this moment, including small cannons with large poles, to kill the Qing army under the city.

Barbarium, golden juice, forks, scythes, spears, torches, limes, even swing ropes tied to stones, or bricks that you can pick up at your fingertips, all kinds of tools for killing people keep coming. Harvesting the lives of the Qing army.

The small cannons fired in turn, and for a while, the city was full of smoke, and people were dying everywhere and screaming everywhere. The ground hit by the solid shells was full of messed up corpses. The white bones and stubble mixed with bright red flesh and blood were mixed with the soil, making it horrible to look at. In the distance, where the Hongyi Cannon smashed into the ground, there were huge pits, and the soil was scattered and piled up on the separated corpses.

During the melee, the Guangdong Green Camp guerrilla Madford was directly hit by an iron ball and became the first Qing army general killed in the Battle of Xinhui.

Ma Defu's death made everyone in the green camp feel terrified, and Lin Shanzhi also greatly regretted it, but in the eyes of Qin Guocheng, the military capital of his family, it was not a thing at all, and he only saw Xinhui! In a pile of corpses behind him, a soldier of the family was struggling to climb out from below. Blood was all over his body, and his braids were scattered. A closer look showed that the entire left hand had been severed. Not far from the soldier who lost his left hand, there was another flag soldier who was hit in the thigh by a cannonball. He lost too much blood and his face was pale. He struggled to get up, but could not get up. Can only crawl slowly on the ground. While crawling, he grabbed the soil on the ground hard. The blood-soaked soil was so mushy that it was impossible to take advantage of it. When he grabbed it, his hands were full of blood and mud. After crawling hard for a long time, his body actually moved a little bit. Finally, he didn't move, but his eyes were fixed on the Xinhui city wall in front of him. Red and red, indescribably terrifying.

On the top of the city, the Taiping army suffered heavy casualties. The Zhenlu battalion had been reduced by half, and the officers also suffered casualties. The dead bodies were being carried down by the young men. If the Qing army under the city could see it, they would find that the dead Taiping soldiers had the same heads behind them. Also has a small braid.

By the time the Taiping Army captured Xinhui, except for the soldiers who entered the camp in Luoding in the early days, most of the soldiers who expanded in the later period did not cut their braids, and many of the soldiers were still wearing the uniforms of the Qing Army Green Camp. It's not that Zhou Shixiang doesn't want to cut the braids that symbolize slavery for his subordinates, but that he doesn't have time to do it at all. Then, he also wants to find an opportunity to cut braids for the soldiers uniformly. Let them know why they cut the braids, not just to save their lives!

One after another corpses were carried from the side, and some people knew it. Some do not know, some do not know, some do not know, Zhou Shixiang did not give them a second look, and he did not look like a general who loves soldiers like a son. He was willing to die. He just glanced at it briefly, then turned his head to stop looking, and continued to engage in this **** battle that was still slaughtering. Alive or dead, a person's name is just a symbol. If the city is broken, everyone will die. There is nothing to be sad about. He believes that the dead will not be miserable. mind.

Behind them is not only the Xinhui City, but also the thousands of old and weak women and children.

..........

After the Taiping army entered the city, the vacant houses in Xinhui City were filled with old and weak women and children in the rear camp. In order to unify the management, the Taiping army did not show favor to the residents of Xinhui City, but drove them out of their original houses. Free up the entire area for the rear camp to move in.

The newly expanded security regiment was nominally led by Duke Xiang of Song, but was actually led by Zhao Sihai. Originally, this security regiment was expanded with his Gongku Army as the backbone. Naturally, Zhao Sihai became the actual commander of the security regiment. By.

At the end of the Guifeng Mountain battle, Zhao Sihai was shaken. He knew this, Song Xianggong knew it, and Zhou Shixiang was even more clear, but no one mentioned it afterwards, and no one looked down on Zhao Sihai because of it. No one blamed him, but Zhao Sihai felt somewhat inferior in his heart. He wanted to prove again that he was not a villain who was greedy for life and fear of death. Therefore, three days ago, Zhao Sihai asked Zhou Shixiang to be transferred to the former camp instead of continuing. Hiding in the back camp and watching the brothers and Tartars fight to the death.

Zhou Shixiang did not agree to Zhao Sihai's request, but instead entrusted him with the task of expanding the security team. Other than that, he didn't say a word, not even a word of comfort. But for some unknown reason, after receiving this task, Zhao Sihai never made a request to the former camp, but devoted himself to the expansion of the security regiment. He mentioned some old men of the Gongku Army to the position of the general flag and the small flag, and asked them to lead their regiment members to control the streets in the city, while he led the people to guard the county office. Zhao Sihai's move was not to protect Liao Ruixiang, but to protect the public treasury hidden in the county government. He had already prepared for the worst. Once the Qing army broke the city, he would set himself on fire with the public treasury's gold and silver treasures. , I can't take it with me before I die, and I won't leave it to the Tartars when I die. It's also a complete oath when I fell grass with Boss Hu on the mountain.

In the county government office, Zhao Sihai and his subordinates are facing the enemy. Outside the county government office, the old and weak women and children in the rear camp are trying their best to prepare the defense equipment for the front camp. The men and women are all struggling to transport materials to the city. The one who carried it was making a fire there to cook, so that the men in the city could have a bite of hot food.

The corpses lifted from the city were temporarily placed in several vacant houses on the edge of the east city. Dozens of elderly people were wiping the corpses one by one. From time to time, women and children stumbled into the house and screamed. Crying loudly, obviously, their man has changed from a big living person to a cold corpse.

"Dad, Daddy, wake up, wake up..."

"Mother, mother, don't cry, don't cry..."

The voice of the child made the elderly heartache, but there was nothing they could do except sigh and sigh.

"Lin Er's family, don't cry, don't cry for something, the child is still young, you have to pull it big, but you can't let Lin Er go uneasy... Get up..."

The old people tried to persuade them, but they couldn't pull away those sad women.

......

After the First World War in Deqing, Zhou Shixiang set up a medical team in the army, but it was only the prototype of the military doctor. There were no doctors in the medical team. Six-year-old girls, these girls were organized by Zhou Shixiang to teach some simple nursing and bandaging knowledge in the medical team. At this moment, these girls are bandaging the wounded with the simple knowledge they learned earlier, but they have never seen so many wounded, let alone so much blood.

Screams and vomiting sounded from time to time, but these girls were frightened by the exposed intestines and broken limbs of the seriously wounded, and shouted with their hands and feet together. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

Those who acted as military doctors were very dissatisfied with the reaction of these girls, but apart from frowning, they didn't scold these girls, let alone these girls, they were not frightened by the scene in front of them.

"Shut up!"

In the chaos, a woman's voice came, "Give me needle and thread, gauze, hurry!"

The men and women looked at the sound and their faces were startled. They recognized the woman in front of them, but it was the daughter Lin Wanfu, who was in charge of the public treasury, often boasted in front of them. She is the woman of Lord Qianhu. The implication is that Lin Wanfu is the father-in-law of Lord Qianhu. You people should have bright spots in their eyes.

"What is this woman doing?"

The men whispered, and the screaming girls were also stunned, because they saw Lin Wan'er squatting beside a wounded man and stitching up his wound. The wound of the wounded was in the lower abdomen, it was shot by a bow and arrow, bleeding profusely, and the wound was very close to the wound of the wounded, but Lin Waner did not avoid it at all, she only focused on the needle and thread in her hand, cautiously Suture for this casualty.
