Chapter 77 Lingao's Counterattack ([-])

The counter-offensive plan in the county basically came from Liu Dalin and Huang Shoutong. Invisibly, it just happened to form a common situation in the Ming Dynasty of using literature to control martial arts. Liu Jinshi was well-educated and influenced by the political situation in the late Ming Dynasty. He has some experience in planning; Huang Tuan has been in the front line of hand-to-hand combat for many years. He has experienced countless small-scale fights, and he is quite familiar with the advance and retreat of battle formations.The officials and gentry were very relieved when they saw this situation.

According to the spies, the pirates are divided into Bopu and Bairentou Beach.The spies saw a woman on Hundred Heads Beach, which meant that the old camp of the pirates was there, the old camp was there, and the Chinese army should be there.

Although there are many people gathered in the city, there are only a few who can fight.Huang Shoutong is a local aborigine, and he has fought bravely for many years. He knows which family is brave enough to fight and which family can only bully the common people.The really usable people are the hundred Huangjiazhai Xiangyong brought by himself, as well as the Xiangyong and servants of several local wealthy tyrants.There are no more than 200 people in total.He intends to use these people as soldiers to directly attack the center of the pirates, and it is best to kill several bosses in one fell swoop.

This strategy has been questioned by some gentry: Will the leader of the pirates die and retaliate wildly?

"When it comes to war, you must not take chances," Huang Shoutong stroked Haixia's beard, "If you use a sword, you must kill to the end. Don't think that you will retreat in the future if you are merciful. When others see you as weak and bully, you will intensify it. It's gone." He glanced at the crowd, not angry, "If you hurt them or scare them, they will go away by themselves."

At the moment, it was decided to divide into two routes. The left route consisted of Huangjiazhai's Xiangyong as the main force, with two tiger squatting guns removed from the city wall, and many rocket guns. A total of 300 people were led by Huang Shoutong himself. Attack Bairentou beach; the right route led by Fu Bowen, there are also more than 300 people, but most of them are temporarily recruited ordinary people to act as the people's strongmen, and they often bring flags, horns and drums to create momentum and pretend to attack the Bopu camp as a diversion.In order to prevent the pirates from having spies outside the city, the two groups of people set off together, pretending to be marching towards Bopu, and halfway the left army turned back to raid Hundred People's Head Beach.

The two groups of people agreed to start a fire as a signal, and the right army would attack Bopu first, and then the main force would launch an attack. No matter which route wanted to withdraw from the battle, it would use the beacon as a signal.

In addition to the yamen servants, there were 200 people left behind in the city.The archers Minzhuang in the county owed food and wages for too long, Wu Mingjin was afraid that they would be left to defend the city, and if they failed, he would take the opportunity to riot and rob in the city and the four towns. The method of mixing sand, Min Zhuang Township Yong Archer Guards mixed formation to defend the city.The folks who didn't want to fight could only bribe Dianshi, and those who had no money and were driven to fight all complained.

On September [-]th, all preparations were complete, and the county set up pots for cooking on the streets. Many people ate dry rice for the first time this year, and they all crowded in front of the pots, watching and sniffing. with.

"God, I've had a full meal."

"Originally, if you want to eat dry rice, you will get busy farming, but in the past two years, you can't even eat busy farming."

"The sky is also evil, and there is frost on the land of Lingao!"

"I'm afraid this meal will be a severed meal."

"Don't say dejected words, it's unlucky."

The county magistrate, Wu Ya, brought over a few hundred coins, saying it was a reward for the opening, and took twenty sets of newly collected cotton armor-although the material of this kind of armor is easy to obtain, it is unavoidable to wear it in the South China Sea. It was too hot, so there were very few wearables, which were made impromptu.Huang Shoutong knew that the county magistrate relied on himself as the Great Wall, so he was very moved and thanked him again and again.Determined to fight hard.

He called his second son over. Huang Shoutong's second son, Huang Tikun, was studying at the county school. I was very uneasy.

"Qin Kun, my father is going to suppress the bandits today," he stroked his knee, "the pirates are powerful, so I'm not very sure about going here..."

"Father--"

"Don't talk," Huang Shoutong said in a deep voice. "As a father, you are already over [-] years old. Even if there is an accident, you and your elder brother don't have to be too sad. Although your elder brother is brave, he doesn't like reading. He is not as smart as you." Therefore, I just tell you: the world has been in chaos for more than ten years. Fortunately, we are a small county here. However, once the world is in chaos, the younger generation will inevitably take the opportunity to make trouble. The first thing you need to do is to lead your children to fight to defend your hometown , The second is to obey the destiny!" He stared into his son's eyes, "And you can't read a few more books, just read a foolish loyalty, foolish filial piety, do you understand?!"

"Yes! My son understands." Huang Tikun understood and was confused at the same time, but he didn't dare to ask further questions.

"You will follow me out of the city in a while, and go back to Huangjiazhai on the way."

"The son is willing to fight with his father!"

"Stupid boy..." Huang Shoutong sighed, "You are a scholar, and your weapons are dangerous. The Huang family cannot live without you!"

"And big brother—"

"Your eldest brother is white." Mr. Huang put on the padded armor with the help of his servants. "Mr. Wu is always going to be transferred. Will the new Mr. Wu remember the hard work of our men in the future? There is a scholar, and he can speak loudly. "

After hearing this, he deeply realized his father's painstaking efforts, but he felt faintly reconciled in his heart.

Huang Shoutong ordered his son to lead the brigade out of the city.Along the way, on the one hand, he was moved by the trust of County Magistrate Wu this time, and on the other hand, he couldn't shake off a bad premonition: this huge iron boat was driving a force that could not be resisted by manpower. The mechanical pirates are not the bandits and robbers he has been dealing with all the time. Their arrival may mean that many things will change completely.He raised his eyes to look at the sky, and there were only faint clouds in the sky, but it made him feel that the sun was dim and dim. Is there really going to be a big change in this bright world?

Separated from the road, he took the team two miles away from Bairen Beach, waited for Bopu's feint attack to start, and listened to the spies' report.He made up his mind that if Hundred People's Head Beach was unprepared at this moment, even if Fu Bowen didn't start there, he would attack in advance.

After a while, the spies reported that the pirates on Hundred Heads Beach had all shrunk back to their camps, and no one was moving outside.Huang Shoutong nodded. This did not come as a surprise to him. The spies on the other side probably had already detected their movements.

After waiting for a while, he suddenly saw a signal of fireworks in the direction of Bopu, knowing that Fu Bowen had already started to attack, he rode his horse up a mound

"Old folks, we are about to attack the enemy. You and I are local aborigines and have lived here for generations. Here are our fields and houses, and the tombs and ancestral halls of our ancestors..." He felt his tears come out when he said this , "Today is the day for us to protect our hometown and serve the court, everyone follow me!"

After finishing speaking, he knocked the stirrups of his horse, took his equestrian servant as the vanguard, and ran towards Hundred People's Head Beach.The village braves divided into two groups, and rushed forward following the dozen or so riders.The gunners worked in a group of ten or so, pulling forward and pushing backwards, desperately pushing the two tiger squatting cannons to the front.

He Ming had already seen their assembly with binoculars on the guard tower in the administrative area. At this moment, he saw the smoke and dust covering the sky, and the sound of drums came. The high-pitched sirens rang through the sky, and everyone was stunned——the attack has begun!

"Team Leader He...Team Leader..." The person who came was a member of the communication team, and he couldn't even speak clearly at the moment, "The Bopu is in a hurry! The enemy is besieging the Bopu!"

He Ming frowned. From the follow-up report from the observation post, he knew that the enemy was divided into two groups. Obviously, one of them must be a feint attack.But the number of people in the two groups is about the same, and they both carry a lot of carts, and now they are attacking almost at the same time...

"Let Bopu hold on!" The fortification of Bopu is much more complete than that of Hundred People's Head Beach. Now there are more than 100 people guarding it, including ten members of the military team. He thinks it is not a big problem to keep it.

On the contrary, it is the central area, because the construction has spread out, and there are many places to be defended, such as the residential area, the place where equipment and vehicles are piled up, the hydropower station, and the administrative area that has just been built.In most places, there are only two barbed wire fences and one earth barrier.It is still unknown how powerful these urban nerds who have never fired a few bullets have.

Huang Shoutong's men rushed to the edge of the ditch, threw the prepared bundles of soil and firewood into it, and paved a road in an instant. At this moment, the gunshot rang out, and a dozen people fell down beside him immediately. The pirate's firearms were so sharp. !He crouched down and galloped his horse at a fast pace. The sound of gunshots continued, and the people around him kept falling. He circled his horse's head and decided not to attack the old camp of thieves in depth, but to concentrate his forces to attack the nearest camp.He pointed with a big knife in his hand:

"Brothers, rush to the past!"

The camp selected by him happened to be the administrative area. Because the construction here was recently completed, even the barbed wire fence was erected just yesterday.It is guarded by fifty men, ten of whom are members of the military group.

"Meng Xian! You are in charge of topping!" He Ming yelled through the intercom, "Hit those riding horses."

Before the words fell, a Xiangyong who was brandishing a knife and leaping on a horse fell to the ground with a gunshot.

"Damn, well played!" He couldn't help but praise out of his mouth.This finance and accounting student who has practiced moving targets in a sports school for several years is really good at marksmanship.

At this time, the village warriors had already rushed over like a wave.The sound of gunfire became a mess.The people behind the barbed wire saw these people roaring with bared teeth and waving all kinds of weapons to charge towards them. Most of them used to be good people, not to mention shooting and killing people, even gang fights have never been seen a few times. At the scene, everyone was stunned in panic, and after firing a shot, they were all dumbfounded, and only a few shots rang out in a mess.

"Shoot! You idiots!" He Ming picked up the SKS rifle violently, swung the bayonet out forcefully, rushed to the front, and kicked them.

Finally, the volley of guns rang out, and the gray wave of the charge stagnated for a while, and then rushed over again. At this time, there were also messy gunshots from other camps to support them. Most of the traversers were not familiar with shooting, and many people forgot to adjust the gauge. The shot was fired, and some people kept pulling the trigger and randomly releasing the bullets, and soon the bullets ran out.
