Start: Datang Wanli a lonely city

Chapter 839 Seizing the Mountain
He was kicking the war horse and holding a sharp sword in his hand.

The God of Wealth took the lead and rushed up to Panlonggang first.

no way!Although this girl is 172 centimeters tall, her figure is quite slender and slender, and her weight is much lighter than that of Zhan Xiang, Lao Hei, and Barong.

In addition, because the body is smaller, the armor worn on the body naturally uses less materials and is lighter in weight.

After putting all the above together, the system war horse given to her by Yu Hanfeng, which is the first-generation 'Carrot', under her crotch, has to bear a much better load.

At this time, I have more energy reserves and less burden, so I can naturally run faster.

After taking the lead to rush up to Panlonggang, the God of Wealth could see clearly for the first time the detailed picture of the square fort hidden among some trees.

At the top of the hill, I saw a flat land with a radius of two to three hundred square meters.

On the flat ground, a square fort was built using some stones and slates; the front-loading artillery pieces of the artillery were set up on the bases made of large stones.

Not far away, there were some wooden rooms built, which should have been the original military camps of the defenders.

The God of Wealth was not surprised by the above. What surprised her was that she found that there were still eleven or twelve lobster soldiers at the fort, and they had not escaped until now.

Even these lobster soldiers, under the command of an officer holding a knife in his hand, all held muskets and formed a battle line aimed at her side.

But even if these people didn't run away, the expressions on their faces were still full of panic and fear.

So much so that the God of Wealth didn't even notice such an opponent.

In the blink of an eye, he thought that if he could have a group of prisoners in the hands of the team in the future, he would have some scruples about this when the Yin Army launched an attack.

Immediately, the God of Wealth had an idea in his mind.

After opening his mouth, a string of English was shouted out:
"You have lost the battle, throw down your arms, and we will show mercy (You have been defeated, throw down your arms, and we will show mercy)~"

It is a pity that these lobster soldiers, who were obviously full of panic, did not appreciate the kindness shown by the God of Wealth at all.

When the officer shouted "fire", the dozen lobster soldiers who formed the battle line all pulled the triggers in their hands.

Suddenly, a burst of choking white smoke rose up, and more than a dozen lead bullets were fired at the God of Wealth.

So Lao Hei and the other three people who followed the god and rushed up with their horses saw the God of Wealth being knocked to the ground one by one.

Seeing this, the three of them immediately became furious.

Like the God of Wealth, he originally thought of leaving these lobster soldiers alive as prisoners, but he immediately ignored them.

After the horse rushed forward, he swung the weapon in his hand and killed all the lobster soldiers in a short time; the leading officer was cut in half by the war elephant's axe.

But when the last lobster soldier tried to escape, he was stabbed to death by Barong.

In the ears of the three of them, they still did not hear the prompt sound from the system, "The recapture of the Sifang Fort is completed, and the relevant gunpowder weapons will be unlocked and released immediately."

Lao Hei and Barong, who thought the Yin Army might be hiding in that wooden house, rushed in and took a look, but no one was hiding inside.

Anyway, such a result made them think that it was a bit unreasonable for a while.

On the contrary, it was during Lao Hei's lookout that he discovered why the dozen or so lobster soldiers had not retreated.

Because more than two miles away behind Panlonggang, there were about two companies of lobster soldiers, led by a mounted officer, trotting towards this side and approaching quickly.

As they approached, they were still waving and shouting at the defeated soldiers.

Being too far away, the three people on the hill naturally couldn't hear what they were shouting, but after thinking about it for a moment, they knew that they were gathering the defeated troops.

Next, I'm afraid there will be a counterattack on the fort.

Frankly speaking, at this time, the current state of the surviving members of the team is just barely holding on, and they can have [-] to [-]% of their usual combat effectiveness.

If you really want to continue fighting, shooting a bow and arrow for a long time will be a burden.

Therefore, the best situation is to use gunpowder weapons that are not very consuming to fight.

But in terms of muskets, they can still pick up some muskets discarded by the lobster soldiers on the fort and use them; but the firepower density is limited. If there are no explosive packets, how can they stop two complete companies of the lobster soldiers?

Or after being reorganized, he went into battle again and was defeated?
Fortunately, when the three of them were a little worried, Zhan Xiang suddenly inadvertently saw the leaves on a banyan tree about ten meters away on the left swaying abnormally.

As soon as I thought about it, I thought of some kind of war elephant.

On the spot, he was carrying a two-handed battle ax with a huge blade and walked towards the banyan tree.

After rushing under the tree, the war elephant could immediately see a gentleman wearing a top hat and a tuxedo, but he was holding on to the branches and hiding on it like a monkey.

I think it's because this guy hasn't been killed yet, that's why the unlocking task hasn't been completely completed.

Immediately, the war elephant was ready to chop down the banyan tree with an axe, and then after the opponent fell down, he kicked the gentleman to death.

As a result, the ax was raised a little, and the gentleman with a pale face seemed to have understood something in his heart.

He shouted in a panic: "Madam, you can't kill me.

I am Henry Cavendy, a reporter from the Great Yin Empire, and I am not a combatant at all. Your behavior is not a gentleman at all. "

"I'm not a gentleman to begin with, yet you call me ma'am."

The war elephant spoke English with an Oxford accent, answered casually, and continued to raise the ax in his hand.

Perhaps because of the authentic Oxford accent in War Elephant's mouth, he was confused for a moment. By the time Henry Cavendi reacted, War Elephant had already struck him with an axe.

Without any suspense, the tree trunk as thick as a bowl was cut off directly. The reporter above made a piercing scream on the spot, and large branches and leaves fell from above.

The fall wasn't serious, but the situation was very embarrassing.

He just waited for the war elephant to lift up his oversized boots that needed to be customized and prepared to kick him.

The reporter who was completely frightened finally shouted loudly with a desperate expression: "Madam, you win.

My real name is actually Odo Henry Cavendish.

Have you heard of the Cavendish family?That is the family of the Duke of Devonshire, and I am also a direct descendant of the family; as long as you don't kill me, you will definitely get a generous ransom. "

After hearing this, Zhan Xiang immediately stopped.

She didn't pay much attention to the ransom, but leaving Henry in hand should be able to play some other roles.

It was considered that he was persuaded and gave up the idea of ​​kicking him to death.

He leaned over and punched out, hitting the Cavendish family member on the head with precise force, knocking him unconscious on the spot.

The next second later, Hu Biao limped forward, using a musket as a crutch.

And everyone else in the team who rushed up with murderous intent heard the cold mechanical sound of the system in their ears, and finally it sounded:
"Congratulations to Commander Hu Biao, everyone at Xuange Camp, and the netizens who just participated in the mission this time; the first phase of the mission, the first requirement has been officially completed.

The mission countdown and the penalty of erasing all members will be lifted immediately.

The temporarily confiscated gunpowder weapons will be returned immediately; please continue to work hard to unlock more restrictions. "

After the voice fell, the one with blood red color in front of everyone's eyes had reached the countdown of 15 minutes and 52 seconds and finally disappeared completely.

At the same time, in the open space on the side of the fort, after an obvious space distortion, a pile of flintlock muskets, explosive bags, and bullet bags appeared there.

Not to mention such obvious spatial distortion, there are still a lot of things.

Yu Hong, who had just climbed up out of breath, and the green camp soldiers behind him didn't see it at all.

After seeing this pile of lost and recovered things, Hu Biao immediately breathed a sigh of relief, because these things will be their biggest reliance in the next battle.It's a pity that he wasn't even completely relieved after taking such a breath.

In Lao Hei's mouth, he shouted loudly: "Old Hu, there are two more companies of lobster soldiers coming over here, and they only have two miles of land at most~"

"What the hell! The grandson of the system has given you such a stupid task. It's like urging people to die. Can't we let people take a breather?"

Hu Biao couldn't help but curse after hearing the bad news.

However, he continued to curse and cursed, still holding the rifle and dragging an injured leg, and laboriously moved towards the other side of the fort.

Every time he moved, he would leave a clear bloody footprint on the ground.

Because of the warning from Lao Hei's mouth, other people also rushed to that side, and no one noticed this at all.

Including the imperial concubine, who also didn't notice the bad situation of the men in her family.

The main reason is that compared to Hu Biao, the situation of Caishen seems to be worse.

When the imperial concubine rushed to Panlonggang a little earlier than Hu Biao, she saw her cousin who was crushed under the horse and had no movement after a man and a horse fell down.

After rushing over in a hurry, he asked the warehouse manager and AT to help lift the war horse, and he dragged the bloody God of Wealth out from under the war horse.

After checking the head, face, chest and abdomen, no fatal wounds were found.

It turned out that after the word 'fire' reached his ears, the God of Wealth immediately lay down on his horse; except for a bullet on his left shoulder, everything else was fine.

It was just that in the process of falling, he fainted while being pressed by the heavy war horse.

But after being woken up by the imperial concubine, and seeing the precious war horse lying on the ground dying, the girl's eyes suddenly turned red.

At the same time, Yu Hanfeng kept coughing "Kang, Kang, Kang~" from his mouth.

And while coughing like a tractor, he kept coughing up blood.

Such a scene was seen by other members of the team, but no one cared about it either; because their situation was not much better...

******
Seeing the reinforcements coming from the Yin Army, only a dozen or so of the two companies of musketeers were left behind to collect the defeated troops, and the remaining 200 or so people rushed straight towards this scene.

After thinking about it for five or six seconds, Hu Biao immediately yelled out an order:

"Nan Ze, bring a few people to treat everyone's wounds. Don't let us die from excessive blood loss before being killed by the Yin Army's muskets.

The remaining people immediately prepared to fight. "

Under Hu Biao's order, Mr. Nanze, a tea profiteer, took a quick look around.

I saw the three novices who had been following behind during the charge, although their faces were as pale as white paper.

But with all his limbs intact and no injuries on his body, he immediately had an idea in his mind.

He raised his finger and pointed at it, shouting: "You three, come here and help~"

After saying that, he started treatment; to be more specific, he treated a bullet hole in his stomach.

After this shot penetrated the heavy armor, it is not known how deep it was penetrated. Anyway, it was bleeding continuously. If he didn't deal with it quickly, the veteran Chinese medicine doctor of his team would die first.

While dealing with the wound, Nanze felt very lucky:
When he was lightly dressed just now, in order to reduce the burden on the war horse, he almost pulled out his pants and threw them away; but he did not throw away any of the medical supplies he carried.

Otherwise, with the team's current situation where everyone is injured, there will be a shortage of medicines.

While Nanze was facing the wounded, he first stopped the bleeding of some serious wounds, leaving the bullets in his body alone and dealing with them later.

During this process, Hu Biao and others replaced the weapons in their hands with the muskets returned by the system.

This is because the fire blunderbuss produced by these equipment manufacturing teams such as Lang Qing, Lao Tie, and Wu Zu is similar in appearance and structure to the rotating fire blunderbuss in Lao Hei's hand.

The only difference is that it does not have the various special effects that Lao Hei's fire gun produced by the system has.

Even so, such a firecracker has many advantages in terms of power, rate of fire, range, etc.

But compared to the lobster soldiers, among the various muskets currently used, the latest Brunswick-style front-loading smooth-bore percussion gun is much better.

So the muskets of the lobster soldiers were picked up and used by Yu Hong and other green camp soldiers, and they all replaced them with good guns.

In such a hurry, they had no time to dig trenches.

So we could only find some small mounds, rocks, and tree trunks large enough to form temporary bunkers, and started to prepare with guns in hand.

Not long after they were ready for battle, the lobster soldiers arrived at the battlefield at a trot and launched the attack.

As for their specific tactics, Panlonggang, where the Sifang Fort is located, is just a small hill with a height of only about [-] meters.

It is completely within the effective range of the lobster soldiers and their muskets.

Of course, at such a range, the power of lead bullets can cause enough damage to Hu Biao and the others. Whether they can hit them is another question.

Therefore, these two companies began to form a neat battle line at a distance of about 300 meters from the Sifang Fort.

Then he held his rifle, facing the hill like a wall, and began to advance slowly.

If Hu Biao was not mistaken, these lobsters were probably going to use their classic tactics: as soon as they reached the foot of the mountain, they would immediately fire three rows of muskets, and then rush up in a swarm with bayonets drawn.

It was only these lobster soldiers who took a dozen steps forward.

Amidst the sound of gunfire, they were surprised to find that the leader of their 26th Cameronian Infantry Regiment was the one riding on the war horse.

Without even uttering a scream, he fell off the horse, obviously having been shot.

Needless to say, the military level possessed by the Lobster Soldiers can barely be considered a modern army; such a situation where the top commander died in battle did not cause them to collapse directly like the Qing army.

A captain immediately took over the command and shouted:
"Keep going, the shot just now was just a coincidence~"

In response to such a statement, a group of lobster soldiers expressed their belief.

Because they understand that even the latest muskets of the Great Yin Empire can hit such a long distance; it is almost impossible to hit such a far target, and even if they hit everything, they can only attribute it to bad luck.

But soon after, they no longer thought so.

In the next ten seconds or so, these lobster soldiers took twenty steps to the sky, and hundreds of gunshots rang out from the hill in front of them.

Although it is not a neat row of guns, the firepower density is actually quite good.

What's even more terrifying is that the bullets fired from these hills have an unscientific precision.

Amidst these hundreds of gunshots, more than forty people on our side were shot and fell to the ground. This means that in a very short period of time, about 20% of them suffered casualties.

Moreover, the other party had no gentlemanly manners at all and was deliberately firing at the officers on one side of the battle line.

So now, half of the officers in the company have been killed.

Such a brutal musket wounding effect also made some of the remaining officers react. After issuing the 'test and retreat' order, they began to retreat with the more than 100 surviving lobster soldiers.

They retreated until they were 400 meters away from the fort, and then stopped again.

Together with the reorganized broken soldiers, the overall strength once again reached 60 people.

At the same time, messenger troops were also sent to request support from the rear.

It also gave Hu Biao and the others some time to breathe...
