Chapter 401:Attack on Tianjin

Commander Cao Ming Lei Cao did his duty, honestly camped, and tried to prepare for everything.But he did not expect that all his efforts on the ground would be easily broken by the enemy from heaven.The camp of more than 10,000 people was bombarded with a dozen explosive packs from the sky, and the whole camp fled.

Although the dream of human beings flying the sky has been ancient, this air strike is too advanced.Cao's soldiers did not do anything themselves, and they could only follow the rout to escape.However, when they ran out of a two-mile field, the generals, although they were shocked, realized that they could not escape back like this.Such a mess of running, pursued by the enemy cavalry all the way, the death and injury can be heavy.

“Colle the soldiers and gather the horses.”The army found that this escape was a good thing.At the time of the aerial bombardment, most of the generals were around him, and everyone was gathered together when they fled.This means that he can at least command some of the horses.

One vote to participate, the guerrillas, put the general and the like the officer also ran breathless.If they could not run on two legs, they could only stop and stop the soldiers who were constantly running around to intercept the whole team.In fact, the soldiers who ran out of the camp did not die many people, panicked.The officers stood one by one at the intersection and shouted, and immediately two or three thousand people gathered.

This is a large number, and the courage of the army is greater.But the soldiers patronized the escape, and almost everyone had their hands empty.The hunger that had been camping for a day would say that there was no way to fight any more.

Cao did not force the soldiers to turn around to engage in a "back gun", simply took people to withdraw while continuing to close the force.All night passed, and the Ming army retreated twenty miles, but gathered another six or seven thousand people, temporarily stationed in Xinzhuang Town, thirty miles east of Tianjin.

One night, Cao looked at the tragedy of his team and wanted to cry.He knew that this defeat was condemned, but he could only write a letter of help to Xue San, the governor who stayed in Tianjin, who was in Tianjin City, - thousands of horses could be closed again, but all the weapons and military assets were lost, and the army was unable to fight again.And the "strange bird" who throws explosives from the sky can't be prevented.

At the end of the letter, Cao General could only sigh and think that he would hang himself.But he also thought of Ma Gong Gong's speech that this defeat was not a crime of war, and he wanted the mercy of the officials, understanding that he had no merit and hard work, and at most lost the official's dismissal, so that he could still live.Just think of the horse, Mark Shi's face is gloomy from the outside.

“Grandfather, save me!”The soldier's tears of tears fell on his knees on the spot.Marco Shi lifted Cao Minglei up, but did not talk about yesterday's defeat, but strangely said: "Yesterday was attacked, the whole camp was chaotic."Thieves did not take the opportunity to kill.Know that the sharpness of the anti-thrab's cavalry is hard to find in the world.They do not stand still, but our hearts are troubled."

Now anyone who says that the "Revolutionary Army" does not understand the war well, the Ma Gong will slap the other side first.But yesterday was such a good opportunity, the thief was indifferent to let go, which is very strange.

Cao General also had doubts, saying: "Last night along the sea river fled, Cao listened to the sound of the river, faintly saw the fleet of light back up."Even in the river there are sudden noises coming, listening to extremely seep people.It was only then that Cao Mou was depressed and confused, and did not care.Now I want to come...”

Speaking of which, the two of them looked at each other and shouted in amazement: "Bad, the thieves did not hit us, they must have gone to Tianjin City along the river."

It's more finished!

There is no fig leaf on the other side of Tianjin City to guard against emptiness, not even a fig leaf.

The commander of Cao's eyes was black, and he was about to fall.Grandpa quickly pulled him and sat down to comfort him: “Mr. Cao doesn’t need to worry too much.”Tianjin is a big city, and there are many people in the city.

Xue Gong is an official, not afraid of the powerful, and the folk style evaluation is excellent.Such a city defense is sure to be solid, although the city's strength is insufficient, but the thief can not break the small, will certainly touch a head broke the blood.I'll be back soon, and I'll be back."

After the army sat down, Cao had already shaken his heart, and cried and scolded several times against the thief and cunning.Waiting for Marco Shi to say that Tianjin Gu Ruojin soup, he immediately retorted: "You forgot how we lost yesterday?"The gang of anti-threats used gunpowder and fell at every turn.The city of Tianjin is strong, and how many can you carry?”

Oh yeah, yeah!

Marco Shi suddenly sat in the wax, this week's anti-throwsters came out, always make people forget that they are best at using explosives to blow people - anti-throws yesterday with the art of bombing to defeat the Cao army, more than 10,000 wolves running into the stump, even the weapons are gone, naturally can not threaten the big mouth of the "revolutionary army".And Tianjin has no soldiers stationed, and the empty city defense can't carry indiscriminate bombardment.

This anti-thieves part of the set, calculated extremely deep.

Mark and Cao's soldiers were standing still, and suddenly they heard an urgent report from outside the house.A sergeant from Tianjin City stumbled in front of the two people, knelt down and cried: "The two adults quickly transfer troops back to help!"The anti-thieves sailed to drive outside Tianjin last night, and are now blowing up Tianjin city defense with thunder.There is no army under the governor, and he can only gather the whole city people to resist each other, and now he is in danger!”

I was guessed!

Just sixty kilometers from Dagukou along the Haihe River to Tianjin City, Zhou Qingfeng used the steam engine of the five-hundred-ton tugboat to act as the power, towing several transport ships along the river at night.Driven by the 100-horsepower steam engine, the entire fleet slowly climbed at two knots of tortoise speed.

The fleet carried the "Bunt Artillery" and 500 light infantry, and directly entered Tianjin City overnight.In addition, five hundred cavalry marched by land, bypassing Cao Minglei's ousting and night marching to Tianjin City and Zhouqing Summit.He had a thousand horses in his hand.

Although this 1,000-horse is not much, Zhou Qingfeng is bullying Tianjin City has no troops and cannot go out of the city to confront him.He set up a "bottle gun" outside the city to throw explosive bags ready to bombard.

As for the Cao Minglei department, which has been beaten like a bird of astonishment, the "Beijing-Tianjin Front" simply sent three spear infantry companies to monitor and persuade.The army is willing to fall, and it will not be long.

The night raiding fleet sailed overnight near the Lion Forest Bridge in Tianjin City East.After the troops came ashore, they quickly set up a position outside the east gate of Tianjin town.Twelve light crossbow guns were set open in the first line, and the first goal they had to kill was two ringing forts outside Tianjin.

The shelling team of the "Beijing-Tianjin Front" appeared so large that the city's official squire was immediately surprised.Xue Sancai had been sleeping all night in the official, waiting for Cao Minglei's news.He was not only worried about the attack on the half-way of Cao, the soldiers were killed, and he hoped that Cao's success in World War I would also be famous - who knew that Zhou Qingfeng was going to kill thousands of people directly to the city.

Xue Sancai scolded Cao Minglei as a grass bun, but his reaction was extremely fast, and the hand seized the official print to mobilize the willingness of the whole city to defend.In his opinion, the number of enemies is small, and more than a thousand people want to attack the city is a dream.So he did not immediately return to Cao's idea at first, but asked the city's officials to organize the city's strong and strong on the wall to defend, and if necessary, they could go out of the city to kill and expel.

The turquoise light of the city's defense lit up, but Zhou Qingfeng slowly dealt with the ring forts outside.The Ming army on the fort did not follow Cao Minglei into the attack, and saw that the anti-thieves were actually under their own eyes, and several copper-cast flaming guns on the cannon immediately opened fire.

Xue Sancai saw the truth in the city tower of the east gate of the town, the two forts outside continued to smoke, and the sound of shelling continued.He took the palm of his hand to the wall and said, “Well, I still have a soldier who dares to fight.”After the war, the official will be rewarded.”

The gun was fired very quickly and very lively.Just the shell can't stand the heat after a while, it can only stop.And half a day, Zhou Qingfeng stood outside the range and did not move, but he brought the gun has been installed.

"The artillery company is ready, please fire."

In order to use artillery, Zhou Qingfeng prepared artillery units early.Although the gun was not a gun, it was also given to the artillery company.The officers in the team reported to Zhou Qingfeng after completing the position placement.

In order to pursue stability, the light crossbow cannon is also nailed to the ground with wooden piles after transportation.The torso-reared torque springs are clasped by ratchets levers.The ammunition fired is not a dynamite pack for ordinary blasting, but a wooden shell of a cone, and even a stable ballistic with a tail.In the absence of a good brute-force and time fuse, a fuse was introduced at the tail of the projectile to detonate.

After Zhou Qingfeng nodded, the artillery officers immediately ordered the fuse to be ignited.One class of crossbow guns, one with twelve light crossbow guns.The gunner stepped on the firing pedal and rattled the wooden shell out—the fired shells were black dots flying through the air, and flew about four hundred meters away from the opposite cannon.

Because the battery is large enough, twelve rounds of fire have hit eight times.

Zhou Qingfeng waited for more than ten seconds, and the shells did not explode.He looked at the artillery officer next to him, who was also nervous and said with a sweat: "Maybe the fuse is too long."It may also be that the wooden shell is broken after falling to cause the dumb bullet.There is also a possibility that the impact causes the fuse to be extinguished . . . .

Bombing . . . , an explosion rang from the opposite rater, followed by successive explosions.The entire fort was immediately covered with smoke, and the Ming Army on the fort ran wildly.Some people jumped down directly from the cannon in order to escape for their lives.

Twelve rounds of wooden shelling hit eight rounds, and only half of the shot shells were hit.This efficiency is really a little low, Zhou Qingfeng scratched his head, only faintly said: "Continue to fight."

The artillery fired three rounds in a row and bombarded the opposite side of the fort.Since the beginning of the shelling, there has been no return.After three rounds of fighting and the smoke dispersed, Zhou Qingfeng ordered his own pro-arms to check and learned that only seven or eight people had been killed on the fort, and the rest of the Ming army had all fled.

“To destroy the cannons on the forts, the artillery company turns to...”Zhou Qingfeng's eyes looked at another fort in Tianjin East, but he saw a large number of Ming army stationed on it and fled without fighting, one by one faster than rabbits.He also sent people to check the damage, and targeted the east gate of the town east of the city.

Xue Sancai was stunned at the tower of the east gate of the town, and he had just been brave in the Ming Army on the tortoise of the city, and the result was defeated by a wave of shooting.The other man of the fort was simply frightened and fled, and his head did not return.He would only scold the deserters to behead the deserters, and then look at the reconfigured anti-thrabster artillery outside the city, it is really hateful to the bone.

“Are horses ready?”Xue San only turned back and shouted to the followers of the city, "Where is the young and strong rich in the city?"Let them pull people out.The anti-thrabster was the most vicious to the official squire, and since the soldiers were under the city, what was the luck of them?The out-of-the-or-spoil, the money out of the money.If the city is broken, it is a gemstone.”

Xue San was the governor of thistle, and there was a hundred-a-a-a-a-a-a-million-year-old horse-team family under his command.Coupled with the large number of Tianjin officials and squires, dozens of people from the family easily raised thousands of troops.In this case, the city of Tianjin is not without power.

Due to the sudden arrival of Zhou Qingfeng, the city gate was not blocked.Xue San only waited for his own man to be ready, a little peace of mind in his heart, he looked at the anti-thrabster outside the city, and hated his teeth and gnashed: "My Tianjin city is solid, that is not comparable to the district forts."Thieves want to explode, and I see how much they have?If there really is a moment when the city is broken, it is no big deal that the official will fight with them."

The governor was forced to the ground.

(Please look at the pirate, do not run to hurry, do not judge, can you?))
