Chapter 168 Catch the Turtle

Chen Qianhu is pretty good, um, except Shu Wu has no talent, and the mouth of the flag officer is too stinky.

Zhang Han didn't look embarrassed for too long, he almost wanted to push Chen Mu who was running out into the tent to change his armor, "Don't worry about me, go and change your armor quickly, absolutely don't let the thieves enter Guangzhou City!"

Chen Mu was wearing armor, and the lining of his armor was a carefully crafted riveted knee-length half-sleeve mail armor. At this time, the bandits blasted the city gate of Guangzhou, and he was obviously not allowed to wear the fish-scale armor, which was a bit cumbersome. Armor with scale armor, so he first sent orders to the left and right to assemble, and then he cupped his hands at Zhang Han without hesitation: "The old military gate has offended! Come, put on armor for the military gate!"

Not to mention Zhang Han, even the servants outside the tent were stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly put on the armor for Zhang Han in the tent. Zhang Han still struggled to give orders, but he saw that he had taken a piece of protective armor from the soldiers. Chen Mu, with the bronze medal hanging on his chest, has already ordered loudly: "Xiangshan Banner Army listens to the order, and the superiors are watching me and waiting. I hope you will fight with Chen to the death and kill all the thieves who took the city. After the battle, you will be rewarded for your achievements!"

Chen Mu shouted and walked, and military orders were issued one after another. Even Bai Yuanjie and Chen Lin who were stationed in Shunde, and Li Dan who was stationed in Xiangshan Haojing sent people to inform the battle situation at this time.

This is the first time in Chen Mu's military career that combat has changed from tactics to strategy. The coordinated operations of multiple troops and horses are a test for every leader.In his vision, Bai Yuanjie and Chen Lin are the first line of defense at sea, blocking the mouth of the Pearl River and blocking the waters from Nanhai County to Dongguan; The fish that slipped through the net, and secondly, ensure that overseas Japanese pirates are not allowed to enter Lingdingyang.

With two layers of defense down, as long as the land battle can kill the enemy to the greatest extent, the outcome of this battle is already doomed!

There was no sound of attacking troops from the brigade nearby, so Chen Mu was extremely excited, and asked Deng Zilong and Sun Ao to gather their soldiers and run towards the hillside with a few personal soldiers without lighting torches.

He was worried that the Japanese pirates would unload the Franco cannon on the ship, and the torch would be the target of the gun. Wrapped in armor, I can't walk, and I can finish playing even if I get hit!
"Wankou cannon arrived at close range?"

Chen Mucai ran up the hillside, and saw countless torches being lit one after another outside the south gate. A large number of Japanese pirates lit torches to each other outside the city gate, and then crowded outside the city to kill in the urn city. It didn't take long before they heard a bang , There was a very heavy bang in the urn city, followed by another cannon, but the Japanese pirates outside the city did not pour in much.

Obviously, the defenders on the city reacted in time. The previous heavy noise was caused by the defenders lowering the iron hanging gate in front of the inner city gate, and the subsequent cannon was fired by the Japanese pirates who did not know what kind of large-caliber artillery they approached. sound.

In Chen Mu's view, it was nothing more than a mortar, or the wooden cannon used by Deng Zilong when he attacked Xinjiang Town.

Shutting down the cannon was so light that Chen Mu was worried about its safety. As the number of times the cannon was fired increased, he was worried about the bombing. Improve the new gun carriage and artillery, make the barrel of the closed gun longer and the gun body thicker.

Although it doesn't look so safe, but the speed is brisk. The banner army is led by hundreds of households to complete the assembly in the rear. Wei Balang has led the artillery team to set up a row of artillery carts along the edge of the official road outside the city wall. At this time, the Japanese pirates are in the city. Gathering outside the door, the torches made them a living target. After the ammunition was loaded, Wei Balang immediately ordered: "Let it go!"

There is no need to adjust the angle. In Chen Mu's manual, it is written that in the face of this kind of battle with a distance of three or four hundred steps, closing the cannon and maintaining a normal and slightly elevated angle can allow the cannonball to bounce again after being shot down, causing even more damage in the dense formation of the enemy. More kills.

The Eighth Master of the Weisuo is a natural killer. He is not afraid of the sky and the earth, but he is afraid that he will not be able to learn anything if he sits in the elementary school. He was able to get into the artillery drill code compiled by Chen Qianhu. In order to understand the drill code, he learned more characters than before. I have learned more in half a year.

Boom boom boom!
boom!
It still exploded. Although the artillerymen had stood some distance away from the artillery, one unlucky flag soldier was directly killed by the huge fragments of the artillery blast.This scene had a psychological shadow on other artillerymen, and they were extremely afraid of artillery.

But for Chen Mu, six shells were enough to blast the Japanese pirates!
"Hachiro, take the artillery over there, and go with Sun Qianhu's headquarters to prepare for enemy reinforcements! Hurry up!"

Chen Mu ordered loudly, pointing to the south side of the hillside closer to the river, he saw with his own eyes a round of shelling that directly disrupted the momentum of the enemy's rushing towards the city. I couldn't see what was three or four hundred paces away.

More and more Japanese pirates gathered outside the city. Chen Mu had only one idea in his mind, that is to seal the outer city gates. At most seven or eight hundred enemy troops could flood into the Wengcheng. The strength of the army may not be able to withstand Zeng Yiben's counterattack of the pirates to the death.

"Huang Qianhu, I will trouble you to fight a tough battle later."

After hearing the order, Wei Balang immediately summoned hundreds of soldiers to lead people to lead the horses and mounts to move to the place ordered by Chen Mu, and Sun Ao also led the army to escort them immediately.

Hearing Chen Mu call him, Xinhui Qianhu Huang Dexiang's heart skipped a beat, and immediately responded: "Chen Qianhu, tell me, Lao Huang will definitely do it!"

"Deng Qianhu and I will directly attack the Japanese pirates outside the city gate after attacking, and will only fight with the rebels at the Wengcheng Gate to make a gap for a while. You have to lead the banner army to guard the city gate and suffocate them inside!"

Huang Dexiang slapped the armor on his chest, and immediately took the order to summon the banner army to follow Deng Zilong. Needless to say, his own headquarters, Chen Mu assigned Shao Tingda to say: "Reckless, you lead the banner army to protect the old army door, all households listen to the order—"

Chen Muchao, the old governor Zhang Han, who was wearing his own armor, cupped his hands, then turned around and did not give an order. Eight departments and one hundred households each formed a square formation and spread out a large group of people to form the usual attack formation of Xiangshan Qianhu.

Chen Qianhu chuckled, drew out his waist knife, took a deep breath, raised his head, chest out, raised his knife, and took a step.

Deputy Qianhu Deng Zilong raised his eyebrow-tip long knife above his head, reflecting the bright red and yellow colors of the torch held high by Chen's servants. He slowly swung his hand down, and a messenger shouted hoarsely in the formation: "Forward!"

"go ahead!"

"go ahead!"

All the ministries and hundreds of households gave orders, and all the ministries marched firmly to the battlefield hundreds of steps away. In front of the formation, each flag soldier held up a torch, and the musketeers lit the matchlock. The spearman weighed his palm and Lei followed the order to move forward. The Japanese pirates outside the city gate found them two or three hundred steps away, bursting out with a little bit of light.

A family soldier raised several long cards in front, and Chen Mu was not afraid, and continued to lead the army forward until the number of guns on the long cards increased, and Chen Mu finally raised his left hand. There was a wave of orders behind him, and the flag army did not know what to wait for. After a long time, I finally heard the familiar command.

"Small flag arrow!"

Whoosh, whoosh!

　Happy Tanabata!
