C183 New Army Vengeance (1/2)
In 1865, Tongzhi had four years. It was an unforgettable year for the people of the Tanggu, because in this year, a small port city had actually encountered two consecutive battles with soldiers.
The massacre in the summer was still fresh in his mind, many of the citizens' properties were plundered during the conflict. Countless mob s and soldiers were killed by the guards of the ocean and Jiu Shuai's Xiang Army, their fresh blood staining the entire city red.
The innocent citizens thought that a nightmare would at least keep them safe for a few years, but they never expected that on a cold winter night that was only two months away from the new year, the nightmare of killing once again descended on the Tanggu City.
”Marine Corps... Shoot! ” This was the first military order of Xiao Letian's new army, this was the mighty killing intent of the initial roar of the tigress, the whip of punishment that was grasped in Xiao Letian's hands. Qing Dynasty, this fat ostrich whose head was stuck in a sand dune, had met his biggest enemy in her life.
The silent soldier pulled the trigger, the muzzle of his gun spewing out an orange glow. A faint white smoke diffused under the moonlight, giving the whole battlefield a rather cruel and beautiful look.
”Fire, fire, kill these unrepentant dogs! We must destroy their courage in this massacre, so that they will never dare to raise their heads in front of our New Army. Even if they turn into ghosts, they will still have to detour and walk away from us …”
”We must abide by our shooting discipline, maintain a dense amount of firepower, extend our fire, and definitely cannot let any of these thugs go. This massacre must be remembered by the Purging Demons s for a hundred years, no... We must make them remember it for a thousand years! ”
Xiao Hexin, Sima Yun, these two little Company Commander were so arrogant, their words were unstoppable. A company of less than two hundred soldiers wanted to swallow a thousand and five hundred Green Battalion? He wasn't afraid that the wind would blow past his tongue, but none of the proud soldiers present felt that their officer was bragging.
This was the sharpness of the new army, this was their pride, this was how a man who had fought in a national war should act in the face of these cowards who only knew about the civil war.
The Green Battalion s never thought that there would be an ambush here. Although Sun Sanhu had warned them that Xiao Letian had a new army in his hands, in the eyes of these old generals, it was at most an upgraded version of the Summer Ocean Boat Guard. As long as the Xiang Army did not get involved this time, they could not fail.
At that time Sun Sanhu guaranteed with a pat of his chest, there was definitely not a single Xiang Army soldier in Tanggu City right now, Xiao Letian's power did not even have any reinforcements, even if he could afford to buy the Gun, but in the chaos of the night, how much of its power would the Gun be able to use?
Most importantly, it was impossible for Xiao Letian to have many subordinates, even if he secretly transferred troops from the ocean, with a few hundred people, it would be the limit. If the two thousand of them could not eat all the guards, it would truly be a disgrace to stay at his grandmother's home.
The firepower Spencer poured out formed a long death whip. With just a single whack, hundreds of Green Battalion screamed miserably as if they had been struck by lightning, and were thrown to the ground.
”Ambush, ambush …” It's the Gun, it's the fast spear of the foreigners … ”
”There was a mistake in the information, a mistake in the information. The enemy had at least five or six thousand people. Why is there such a dense rain of bullets? Quickly get down and find cover! ”
The soldiers of the Middle Ages had seen Gun shooting seven bullets in a row. In their minds, they only shot one gun and then stuffed the gunpowder into the muzzle of the gun, only able to shoot one after a long time.
Right now, the ambush's firepower was like a storm, the spear fire like a long dragon tracing the location of the primary matrix in the darkness. However, no one dared to charge forward. They were all stunned by the sudden rain of bullets.
”Man, get down, get down, you're going to die …” It was definitely thousands of Gun s facing him. ”For the capital's Tigerspear Battalion to have such a method of fighting, only a three shot combo would have such concentrated firepower …”
”Oh ancestor, as long as you can keep me alive, I'll immediately strip off this layer of skin. In this life, if I eat more food and become a soldier, I'll be a little girl …”
”Save me, save me, I got shot in the leg …” ”Old and young masters, seeing how you're waving your horse in the same pot, don't leave me behind …”
Screams could be heard on the public road. The two words that were being spoken by the new army formed an inverted figure, like an inverted bowl, it caught the Green Battalion who was marching along the road. A dead snake-like line of troops, with the two sides forming the sloping plane of the rain of bullets, resulted in a large number of casualties three minutes before the battle began.
Right now, the three generals who were in control of the situation were already scared senseless. Their warhorses were overturning them on the ground, and dozens of soldiers were protecting them in the roadside irrigation ditches. Bullets were flying above their heads.
”General Li, those surnamed Sun lied to us. What kind of bullsh * t information are they giving us? They're pushing us to our deaths!”
”Where's the General Ding? Where is it? Have you retreated? ”
