Signing in the Republic of China: starting from a foot patrol

Chapter 212 There are 5 kinds of spicy food in the world

Xiaozhushan

As the night deepened, all the Jiangbei Allied Defense Forces who had rested for a day were full of energy.

Of course, this is also related to their upcoming robbery in Jiangdu County.

Moreover, without Hong Tianwu's supervision, the soldiers of the Jiangbei United Defense Army walked briskly, which was not at all the weak virtue of the previous march.

On the way, the Jiangbei Allied Defense Force passed by a few villages. If it were the same as before, these people would definitely go there to hoot the common people.

However, with the big fat meat of the county seat in front of them, everyone turned a blind eye to these villages.

Furthermore, once the county town is robbed, there is still time to rob the village.

Not long after, the Jiangbei Allied Defense Forces came to a fork in the road, leading to the faintly visible county town on the one hand and the silent Jiangdu Wharf on the other.

The distant river reflected the moonlight in the sky, and in Hong Tianwu's view, it looked like a long strip of faint light.

And the figure of the iron-clad gunboat in Jiangdu County was faintly visible, docking near the pier motionless.

At this time, Hong Tianwu called Grandma Li from 'Xiangudao', Liu Datou from 'Zhen Sanshan', and Jin Xiong from 'Xiashanhu', and pointed to the distant pier and said:

"According to the information our people inquired before, the ironclad gunboat docks at the pier every night, and there are only two sentries on board at night."

"You take advantage of this time to directly lead people to capture that gunboat!"

"I will take the rest of the people to attack the county seat."

"If your offensive is not going well, I will tie up the family members of those sailors to help out."

"After breaking down the pier, all the contents inside belong to the three of you!"

Grandma Li, Liu Datou, and Jin Xiong immediately showed greedy eyes. The dock town in Jiangdu County is notoriously rich!

As for the gunboat, to be honest, if it stopped in the middle of the river, everyone would really have nothing to do with it.

But it happens to be docked on the pier, which is much simpler!

The three of them have a group of confidantes who are quick-footed and dare to kill and rush. As long as they approach quietly and don't shoot, they will surely catch the gunboat by surprise.

At the same time, in this way, the cannons on the gunboat will not be effective!

Immediately, the Jiangbei United Defense Army divided into two groups and acted separately!

The team attacking the county seat galloped all the way and arrived at a distance of less than 300 meters from the county seat.

At this time, the sky was slightly brighter. Although people's vision was still blurred, the city walls and gates of Jiangdu County could already be seen clearly.

Hong Tianwu ordered his subordinates to stop advancing and wait on the spot, while he stood at the front, staring at the city gate in the distance, as if he wanted to see something.

Yesterday during the day, he sent a few more capable men to sneak into the county seat, on the one hand, to report to the people in ambush in the county, and on the other hand, to replenish his strength.

Hong Tianwu took out his pocket watch and almost stuck it to his eyes, only then could he see the time clearly.

4:20

The agreed siege time was only 10 minutes away.

Although Hong Tianwu had seen a lot of big scenes, he was still very nervous. For this matter, he put all his money into it. If it failed, he would die without a place to die!

When the time came to 4:26, there was a sudden burst of fierce gunshots in the county town, which shocked Hong Tianwu, and even the people of the Jiangbei United Defense Army changed their expressions.

However, as the gunfire ceased and the city gate slowly opened, a figure rushed out of the city gate holding a torch and waved it in the direction of the Jiangbei Allied Defense Army!

This is the secret code that Hong Tianwu and the men who sneaked into the city agreed in advance!

"It's done!"

When Hong Tianwu saw it, his whole body was like an electric shock, he straightened up suddenly, his whole body was full of fighting spirit and strength.

At this moment, Jiangdu County lost the biggest barrier of the city wall, and this piece of fat was about to be obtained. His long-cherished wish for many years finally came true at this moment!

"Jiangdu County!"

"I'm fucking here!"

Hong Tianwu couldn't hide the excitement in his heart, he jumped onto a rock suddenly, raised his gun to the sky and shot three times, then hoarsely roared:

"We took down the city gate of Jiangdu County."

"A lot of foreign money and good things are stored in the city!"

"Go into the city, those good things are all yours!"

"Brothers, rush to me!"

"Come on!"

In an instant, the Jiangbei Allied Defense Army was like a powder keg that had been ignited, bursting out with unprecedented momentum.

Without the urging of the leaders, the people of the Jiangbei United Defense Army rushed towards Jiangdu County, where the gates were wide open!

Hong Tianwu was not in a hurry to run forward, he let his subordinates rush up first to act as human shields, and then he followed up, this was his old habit.

Seeing that there were quite a few people in front of him, he followed up with dozens of confidants.

At this moment, the Jiangbei Allied Defense Forces were like wild dogs that had run loose, running wildly forward, only seeing the two open city gates.

They didn't notice that at a distance of about 30 to [-] meters from the city wall, there was a long belt obviously composed of newly excavated floating soil.

Accompanied by the sound of bugles on the city wall, this long strip of floating soil was suddenly lifted from the ground, and accompanied by a burst of dust, it was clear that there were thin wooden boards under that layer of floating soil.

Covered by thin wooden boards, it was an extremely regular trench. Soldiers of countless independent regiments ignored the dust flying all over the sky, and raised their guns to aim at the Jiangbei Allied Defense Army who was rushing.

In the trench, several independent regiment soldiers took out matches from their pockets and ignited several hemp ropes soaked in gasoline.

In an instant, the flame quickly spread outward along the hemp rope, and slender lines of fire spread on the ground, and then ignited piles of seemingly discarded debris.

In an instant, the flames illuminated the open space in front of the county seat, and the figures of the Jiangbei Allied Defense Forces that were rushing forward were clearly visible.

The sudden change caused everyone to slow down, with complex expressions of confusion and horror on their faces.

However, before they could think about it, tongues of flame suddenly lit up on the city wall, and five Maxim heavy machine guns were condescending. Under the light of the fire, bullets rained down.

In the trenches, rifles, pistols, and light machine guns fired simultaneously, interspersed with thrown grenades.

And in an open space in the county, the artillery platoon had already adjusted the angle of the mortar. Under the command of the observation post on the city wall, the soldiers of the artillery platoon loaded and fired deftly, and the shells flew out of the barrel one after another. A beautiful parabola was drawn in the air, crossed the city wall, and landed precisely in the middle of the Jiangbei Allied Defense Army.

In the blink of an eye, there were gunshots and explosions one after another, and the Jiangbei Allied Defense Army fell down one after another like leeks facing a sickle.

All of a sudden, there was constant wailing in the entire open space, blood mixed with residual limbs was lifted into the sky by the waves of the explosion, and then fell heavily, life seemed particularly fragile at this moment!

At this time, no matter how stupid Hong Tianwu was, he knew that he was ambushed!
