And under a mountain bag far away from this unnamed bridge crossing,
"As long as I come back alive three times after the battle, can I be transferred to the army on the spot... I'm fed up with being soaked in the mud, so I can count on it."
Brother Wang Shen, who had changed into a gray cloth robe without a logo, was also looking at the little smoke and dust ahead with his eyes wide open.
"Naturally, I saw those people get rid of it with my own eyes... It's just that there is no eye in the battle, so it's better to be careful in everything..."
Wang Shenchao, who was with him, kept repeating his instructions. In order for these two brothers who were still short of observation period to seize and get this opportunity, he used his own identity as a guarantee.
"You have to wear this front breastplate. Although it is broken, it is worth a point of protection in the battlefield. It must be light and sensitive enough. Those who are not smart are the easiest to die. of,"
"By the way, I've inquired about it again. The goods you can use are picked up in the battlefield, and you have everything; you remember that other things are not in a hurry, you must first give yourself a hand that is suitable for use ( Small square shield) or group card (round shield); then choose a good knife that is known to you. It doesn't matter if it is shorter, but it must be thick and resistant..."
"Don't be greedy for convenience and pick those long guys... Once you get into a chaotic battle between the enemy and us, you won't be able to last long with this stuff; at least you have to insist on keeping up with the people in your team..."
"Then I can only fight for life and death. I want to be able to eat meat from time to time, have a sip of wine and drink every other time, and after a while, I will still have a mouthful of the field... It's just like the situation of the fifth brother. what"
The youngest Wang Shenjun couldn't help but vaguely look forward to it.
Because he had already received the exact news, his cousin Wang Yanfu was selected by the team’s Yu waiter because of his excellent performance. Now he has already picked up half of the allowance according to the old man’s treatment. Three cans will be rationed in one ten.
"Split your mouth, you dare to believe in such a thing... How can there be so many good things for no reason in this world..."
A cold voice interrupted, but it was a talisman who was also a prisoner.
"Wang Zushu and Wang Shijun, who put down the Qiufu Rebellion back then, also said that they would give the Silver Sword Soldier and the Seventh Battalion of the Yacht Army separately; in the end, it was not bloodshed... The promise of these leading nobles was not. Ordinary people can bear it, and it is better to feel more at ease than pocket money and money..."
This Fu Cun can be regarded as a fellow of Chenzhou Wanqiu (now Huaiyang, Henan) next door to their home in Gwangju. It’s just that they are closer to the generals compared to their pawns and generals; when Li (Hanzhi) broke through the main siege, he stepped on the ditch and broke his leg, and he couldn’t keep up (was abandoned). ) Became a capture of the rebels.
"Then why are you here to be with me? Wouldn't it be good to keep picking the smelly mud and digging ditches..."
Wang Shenzhi, who was poured cold water, stared at him unwillingly.
"Naturally, I also want to get out of these heavy and cumbersome hard labor. How can my generation's ability be buried in this dirty ditch..."
Fu Cun, who had been pushed to the top of the conversation, still had a cold face, but he didn't say how angry.
"It's just that if I can return from the formation, I won't continue to be with the thieves... Didn't the Taiping Thieves say that the unintentional go to stay and pay back the travel expenses? I don't expect to pay me any travel expenses, and I will be able to repay me in vain. Just leave by yourself..."
"Since you have this heart, that's fine. Please also ask Lao Fu and my brother to take care of each other..."
Wang Shenchao smiled disapprovingly.
"I still have a few things that I don't need for a while, just because you can use them separately, you can also stay in the battle for a longer time..."
"What the hell is this..."
Wang Shengui picked up one of the biggest Dao.
"This is a paper armor. It is said to be an armor made of mulberry paper and glue used by the rebels in the early years. Don't look at its tattered appearance, but it's good inside. A little farther apart, ordinary bows and arrows can't be shot through; although this thing It’s not very durable and afraid of flooding, but it’s enough to deal with it for a while.”
Wang Shenchao quickly explained.
"Although there is only the remaining half, it is also a cover when tied to the chest..."
At this time, the long-lost whistle finally blew. Surrounded by the sergeants holding the winding crossbow and the iron single crossbow, a large cart stacked with various weapons was also pushed to their temporary release prisoners of war and volunteered. Begging to come in front of the handyman.
"Take care of everything,"
. . . . . .
With the stern whistle, the reeds on the riverside resounded through the clouds; the sudden rain of arrows buzzing like locusts in the sky was covered in a staggered and slightly wider one. The river is slowly swaying and paddling on the fleet.
It was like a torrential rain with a strong wind. Suddenly, these figures standing or sitting on the board of the boat, like porcupines or candied haws with their tail feathers all over them, fell into the water without saying a word or screaming and screaming. Many waves and blisters with a bright red color splashed again.
And there were many rockets with smoke trails in it, and the bundled paper tubes exploded and burned when nailed to the ship's board; some of them spewed out a lot of pungent poisonous smoke.
These poisonous smoke and fire suddenly made the officers, soldiers and soldiers who tried to hide in the cabin, and they were so scorched that they could no longer survive. Instead, they could only carry a little spark and burnt marks on their bodies, and then competed from the bamboo shed. Under the awnings and cabin roofs covered with cloth or wooden slats, the wasteland jumped out and fell into the water one after another.
However, even after paying a lot of casualties and hiding in the river full of floating corpses, the doom of these surviving officers and soldiers has just begun.
When they tried their hands and feet and used paddling and diving, relying on floating corpses and injured companions as a cover, they tried to avoid the indiscriminate shots from the swarms of crossbowmen who had already appeared in the reeds on the shore, and wanted to threaten the other side. Few of them wade on the shore and climbed away; but found that there were already enemies holding spears and bows and arrows slowly standing up on this side. . . . .
The battle in the river continued. After the small and medium river boats were ignited and sunk one after another, in the middle and rear of the fleet, there were still more than a dozen larger river boats. The sturdy decks and shields covered with freeboards served as cover, blocking many arrows that were projected; but at the same time, they stubbornly resisted.
They mostly get together in groups of three and two to cover each other, while blocking the rockets from the shore and constantly splashing water to extinguish them, while laying down fishing nets and ropes, sheltering and rescuing the soldiers who are struggling to sink and float in the river. There is room for a limited counterattack with the bow and crossbow on the ship's side.
And behind a grove of trees camouflaged on a slope not far from the river, it seemed to be a special temporary battlefield command post.
"According to the previous capture, Zhang Quan, the coastal soldier and horse envoy, was the former member of Wang Ying, the deterrent envoy of Langshan Town, who rebelled against the rebellion in the second year of Qianfu's rebellion."
In front of a spreading map, Qu Chengyu, who was already the left lieutenant of the Second Taiping Army, said so.
"After recruiting for the imperial court, General Jinwu was appointed. Since then, he has been entrenched in Mingzhou and has raised a boatman to plunder the sea. There is a lot of contention with Dong Chang, the training envoy of the Badu regiment;"
"The people who depended on it: First, the old Langshan tribe (now Langshan Town, Chongchuan District, Nantong City, Jiangsu Province), where Wang Ying went to invest and gather after his defeat; the two were the children of the local regiment recruited in Mingzhou; The boatmen who set up Kakguanjin to travel to and from the inland rivers were also one of Zhang's reliance on the road."
"This time the Rebel army has many defeats. Most of the former rebels were in the battle, but they did not guard against the back roads, food roads, cities, and strongholds. They were attacked by these boats and soldiers who were long in the water. One after another collapsed."
"So this time the outpost is to take advantage of the speed of our riding camp; to cut off quickly or to the greatest extent weaken the minions and eyeliner of the Mingzhou Army. At least. Also make him afraid to act recklessly..."
"The big boat in Mingzhou has begun to try to dock... It seems to want to fight back."
At this time, a supervisor full of smoke and sweat rushed in and shouted
"It's so good, it's just what I want..."
Qu Chengyu couldn't help clapping his hands in applause. As a native of the local tyrants of Annan, who has suffered from the harassment of the local barbarians, he actually lacks the experience of entanglement and war in the water towns and rivers.
"I don't know Deputy Qu Lang, but I think it's so good..."
As his deputy, Lin Ming frowned.
"I am afraid that those who are still able to resist stubbornly are the backbone of these Mingzhou naval soldiers; if this generation wants to take off with the strong and single-mindedness of the ship, the means I waited for temporarily may not be able to stop the majority. ."
Qu Chengyu explained patiently.
"But they actually want to fight with our army on the spot. They really don't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, and that my Taiping army is so powerful. Next, as long as they respond appropriately, they will be disciplined to run a few..."
And on the riverside, through many poles protruding downwards, braving the rain of arrows and fireworks, slowly leaning on the double-decker river boat on the shore; as a captain and lieutenant of the Mingzhou navy Zhang Jisi, one of the two major inland river guards, was also staring at the thieves on the bank who kept shooting arrows through the gap between the left and right jerk.
Although they suffered ambushes and sneak attacks for a while, causing many deaths and injuries to the crew of this crew on the small and medium river boats, as long as their more experienced core crews on these big ships are still there, there will still be opportunities to make up for them in the future.
It was just that after he was attacked by the enemy, he would give up these tribes who were still struggling in the river in a desperate manner. It would be unwilling to escape and take the main road. He still wants to save some face and loss;
Especially after a pair of shots, he has keenly sensed that the array of thieves who are shooting arrows on the shore is not so generous, it is probably just a bluff; and after a long time, there have been obvious signs of weakness and weakness. So he resolutely raised the banner of fully docking and counterattack.
"kill,"
"Avenge my brothers,"
"Kill more thieves..."
"Achieving merit in one fell swoop is now..."
With the large river boats desperately pushing out the long poles, the obvious shock of slowly bottoming out on the shore, one after another clamors and roars almost bloomed on these river boats.
At this time, the thieves on the shore were shocked and horrified by their courage and determination. The arrows in their hands became sparser and sparser, and they even began to flee in groups. In the faintly wrong Wei **.
As the boat board that was thrown down hit the river stall with a bang, the boatmen who held up the hand and group cards also jumped out of the boat gang and fell into the splashing shallow water; they couldn’t wait for medicinal use. The culprit's head and blood came to wash away and vent his anger.
Afterwards, Zhang Jisi, who personally held a flying-forked water-marked flag and wore shark leather armor and holster, also stepped on the ship's board. However, he saw many objects with smoke trails flying over in the sky; he could not help raising his hand and shouting:
"Is it the Rockets again..."
At that moment, the deafening roar and the rising fireworks shrouded and submerged all the sailors, including him, who were still on board.
