This is the third day of fierce battle in Fengyang City.

Another wave of enemy attacks was repelled.

On the north gate city wall, there was a battlement near the city tower, three or five defenders leaned against the city wall, and took advantage of the rare gap when the enemy retreated and gasped.

Around them, the shooters and team members who fired guns in succession were taking a break from their busy schedules to maintain the fire guns.

The movements are rapid, but delicate.

There was a snatcher who was breathing against the city wall without even raising his hands, complaining, "...So few people...you would rather sit down than come and help..."

The soldiers sitting looked at the archer in a strange way, and asked at the same time, "Are they a recruit?"

The shooter who lowered his head to wipe the gun raised his head in surprise, "How do you... know?"

Among the soldiers sitting, the older one laughed and said, "If you are not a snatcher... I can beat three!"

The young saber jumped his eyebrows and shouted provocatively: "Then try it?"

"Just try it!" The slightly longer hand stood up and patted the thick dust on his butt, "I lose then... don't cry!"

The young shooter was about to respond, but unexpectedly, a veteran next to him grabbed him and shook his head.

The young saber was surprised and asked in surprise: "Brother Li, they are so humiliating us... can we bear it?"

The veteran looked up and glanced at the other party, turned around and said calmly to the young saber, "If someone uses his life to humiliate us... then you have to bear it... not only have to bear it, but also have to bear it with a smile."

The elderly man who had already stood up laughed after hearing this. He dined the veteran archer and said to the young archer: "Ji... this is the veteran!"

After saying that, he nodded at the veteran shooter and greeted several subordinates, "Go... go over there and take a look."

After these soldiers left.

The young saber asked in surprise: "Brother Li, why are we afraid of them?"

Brother Li glanced at the young saber, "If one day you use your life to make a shield for us... No matter how you humiliate us, we will greet you with a smile!"

"You mean...they are doing shields for us?"

"What do you think?" The veteran lowered his head and said angrily, "Work quickly... When the enemy attacks, if the gun goes wrong, I will peel you off!"

After the young archer responded, he looked at the soldiers who were patrolling the city wall leisurely with spears on their backs. His eyes became a little complicated. I am afraid that even he himself would not understand what he was thinking this time?

....

"Look at that new recruit... tsk, he looks really handsome, like a girl's house."

"I said Jin Laosan, you kid have never seen a woman in your eighth life... He just regarded a young man as a woman!"

Several people burst into laughter.

The elderly smiled and said, "Where are you? After you finish this battle... it's time to go back and get married."

Several soldiers laughed again.

"Captain, where are you...are you marrying a wife?"

The elderly smile slowly condensed. He stopped and sighed to the sky, "If our baby is alive... it's time to go to school!"

Everyone was silent.

"When the Tartars went south that year, our baby... was only one year old... and was snatched from his mother's arms... and killed him alive."

The elderly's expression was dull, as if they were talking about other people's affairs.

A soldier asked, "Where is... sister-in-law?"

The elderly turned his head slowly and glanced at him, "... I jumped into the well."

After saying that, he walked forward and patroled.

Someone shouted behind his back: "Captain, we have to avenge our sister-in-law and nephew!"

"In three days, we killed seventeen..."

"How can seventeen be enough...it can only be considered interest!"

The sound gradually faded away.

....

Chen Zhiyuan and Jiang Quanyi stood side by side on the city tower, looking at the enemy camp opposite.

The following dialogue can naturally be heard clearly.

Chen Zhiyuan was shocked. Although he knew that the soldiers of the Northern Expedition Army had always fought bravely, he believed that the new army spears he brought out had no less fighting will than the Northern Expedition Army.

But after three days of fighting, Chen Zhiyuan discovered that the Ruishi camp in front of him was almost beyond his cognition.

In the past three days of fierce fighting, there are actually very few troops in Fengyang City.

In addition to the Three Thousand Reiss Camp, there are only five thousand new troops of Shen Zhiyuan.

In order to fight a beautiful battle, Chen Zhiyuan adopted the tactic of winning with a strange victory, and sent his new army cavalry to the enemy's departure from Suzhou and before reaching Fengyang City.

This is indeed an extremely bold approach. You should know that although Zuo Menggeng is a fool, the enemy is elite, and most of them are cavalry.

Chen Zhiyuan's tactic is equivalent to directly putting his new army in a position of direct conflict with the elite enemy cavalry. Of course, it still takes some coincidences, that is, unexpectedly.

Therefore, the troops in the city were empty, and the remaining five thousand new troops were spear cavalry, and they were short guns, which was indeed not much of a benefit from defending the city. In other words, during these three days, Jiang Quanyi's Ruishi Battalion resisted the crazy attack of the 8,000 enemy vanguards.

What shocked Chen Zhiyuan the most was that in order to confuse the enemy, Jiang Quanyi attracted the enemy's main force closely under Fengyang City, and he actually used 30% of his continuous guns.

No matter how dense the firepower is, it cannot be covered, blocking the city wall defense line that is more than ten miles wide.

This allows the enemy to rush to the city wall with its superior strength.

In order to make up for this omission, Jiang Quanyi formed an 800-man guard battalion from the auxiliary soldiers of the Ruishi Battalion.

Listening to the three words "Guardian Battalion", it is quite imposing.

But what they did was really horrifying.

The soldiers of the Ruishi Battalion were not equipped with spears because they were a series of gun shooting teams, and only had a short dagger on their bodies to defend themselves.

It is not to say that once the enemy approaches, it will almost end up being wiped out.

But Jiang Quanyi is a lunatic.

He asked Chen Zhiyuan for a spear, which was not the point.

Another thing that Jiang Quanyi asked for from Chen Zhiyuan was horrifying - gunpowder.

Thousand pounds of gunpowder.

These gunpowders were driven into thick grenades that night and hung them on the waists of the Eight Hundred Guards, enough to do so.

If it was just this, Chen Zhiyuan would not be shocked.

What Chen Zhiyuan saw in these three days was that everyone in the eight hundred guard battalions could jump without hesitation and knock the enemy who climbed the city wall down the city wall, together with himself, and ignit the grenade on his waist at the moment of rushing out.

Chen Zhiyuan initially believed that this was an individual, perhaps because of the spontaneous behavior of the soldiers who were angry.

But more and more soldiers in the escort battalion made such "crazy" actions, which shocked Chen Zhiyuan.

It is precisely because of this bloody nature that he blocked several times the enemy under the North Gate City, and the enemy was dragged by the Three Thousand Reichs Camp until he was unable to divide his troops and detour towards the East and West Gate.
