Chapter 355: Carelessness
While Red Lady's Independent First Division was busy encircling and suppressing Mr. Wen Yang's rebels, Gao Jie, the commander of the Third Royal Division, was also leading his troops to encircle and suppress all the powerful men of the family who were involved in this matter. As for some wealthy businessmen involved, Jinyiwei is responsible for arresting people.
The powerful families who participated all contributed their private soldiers. As soon as the troops of the Third Royal Division surrounded the mansion, they were too timid and frightened to resist, and obediently allowed themselves to be tied up by the soldiers.
Not all powerful people from the world are good children. There are several powerful people from the world who ordered their servants and bodyguards to close the gates of their houses and fight to the death, causing some casualties to the Third Royal Division.
The Royal Third Division had insufficient training time, and it was their first time to participate in a battle. All the officers and soldiers, including the division commander Gao Jie, thought it was just an ordinary arrest operation. Everyone underestimated the enemy, but they did not expect that some powerful people from the family would fight to the death. He resisted and was caught off guard.
The Royal Third Division is still equipped with Suifu guns, and the power of volleys can only be highlighted by volleys of guns. It is difficult to exert the power of volleys of guns when fighting in a courtyard. In addition, Gao Jie wants to capture living people, which makes the soldiers intimidated. Unable to play.
Those powerful bodyguards who protect the courtyard are all martial arts warriors, and some are even criminal thieves and desperadoes who kill people and sell goods. They work hand-in-hand and are familiar with the terrain, which gives them a considerable advantage.
"Pull up the cannon for me and greet them with shells and grenades."
Gao Jie gritted his teeth and gave the order. It was originally just a general arrest and house confiscation operation, but it resulted in nearly a hundred casualties, making him so angry that his face turned green.
Zhu Youjian considered that when rounding up those powerful people, he might encounter resistance. In addition, those powerful people had built strong castles. When he reminded Gao Jie to take action, he pulled up a few small-caliber artillery, which came in handy now.
Your Majesty, you know things like a god.
Now, Gao Jie is becoming more and more convinced of the emperor.
Six small-caliber artillery pieces were set up in front of Zhuang Fort, and they bombarded Zhuang Fort indiscriminately.
The fort is indeed strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it is only a defense against cold weapons such as swords and arrows, long siege ladders, etc. It cannot stand the powerful shells.
Every time a cannonball fell, it exploded into a ball of fire, and the soldiers and bodyguards guarding the fort wall were blown to pieces.
Some artillery shells also fell into Zhuangbao, blowing up the houses in Zhuangbao, killing and injuring people hiding in the houses. Everyone in Zhuangbao was terrified and their faces were ashen.
"Sniper fire suppression, cover the soldiers to attack the fort." Gao Jie ordered. He accidentally suffered a small loss and lost nearly a hundred soldiers, which made this capture operation imperfect and made him lose face.
However, it also allowed him to react quickly and adjust his tactics in time according to the actual situation. No more losses would occur, otherwise, he would not have the face to face the emperor.
Zhuangbao's private soldiers are equipped with strong bows and even a small number of muskets, but the snipers are equipped with DM2 sniper rifles with a longer range and more lethality. All snipers are squatting on the ground, raising their guns to aim. Every position is out of the range of strong bows and muskets, so there is no need to worry about being attacked by Zhuang soldiers.
boom--
A Zhuang soldier stuck his head out and was shot in the head by a sniper who was waiting for him. His lifeless body fell heavily on the city wall, making other Zhuang soldiers huddled behind the battlements tremble with fear.
Dozens of soldiers from the Third Royal Division hunched over and ran toward the closed village gate. They carried bundles of grenades tied with cloth belts to blow up the village gate. They climbed up the long ladder to attack the city. The tactics are outdated and playing with explosives is the way to go.
The soldiers on the city wall saw the soldiers of the 3rd Royal Division approaching. Some drew their bows and prepared to release arrows. Some raised stones and rolled logs, preparing to throw them down. But without exception, as long as they showed up on the battlements, All of them were shot dead by snipers with perfect shots, either in the head or in the vital part of the chest.
Some Zhuang soldiers did not die immediately after being shot, but with today's medical technology, death is only a matter of time. What's more, the current situation is special. Those who were shot and injured will basically have their names registered in King Yama's book of life and death.
More than thirty bundles of grenades were piled against the village gate. The soldier lit the fuse, ran away, and then fell to the ground, covering his ears with his hands.
A loud bang was heard, the earth shook, the solid village gate was blown away, and thick smoke billowed from the entrance to the city gate.
