Looking at the fire from the revolutionary party, Wuchang City suddenly became in chaos. The street was filled with people roaring and horses neighing, and the sound of killing was shocking the sky. The common people had already closed the door tightly and shivered in the quilt. If they were standing on the top of Snake Mountain at this time, they would have looked down at Wuchang City, which was small, were full of stars, and countless black shadows were active.

On Chu Wangtai, Sun Chuanfang, who was huddled in the fortifications, repeatedly called for luck. If Chief Chen had not made a quick decision and issued an order to control the armory an hour in advance, this would have arisen. I am afraid that the revolutionary party who was willing to come and seized would have succeeded. Although the Imperial Guards were well-equipped and well-trained, the disadvantage was that there were few people. If the revolutionary party gathered to resist and relied on the sufficient military supplies behind him, it would not be easy to take it down.

If the Imperial Guards fail to attack, the morale of the revolutionary party will be greatly boosted, and if it is not good, the imperial envoy may fall into the enemy - this is a sin that cannot be redeemed for by a hundred deaths. When Sun Chuanfang thinks that so many court officials, especially his brother-in-law, are there, how dare Sun Chuanfang take it lightly?

Keep your breath and don't say anything! He scolded in a low voice, his face extremely majestic.

After solving Zhang Xun's last time, his outstanding military force and his witty and courageous image have won praise from the Imperial Guards. He claims to be full of courage and established his position in the Imperial Guards in one fell swoop. No ordinary soldiers have made boring discussions such as "He relies on his brother-in-law's card" in private, and they are extremely respectful of him. Sun is bold and meticulous, and his prestige has been established, and he has stopped his restlessness in just a few words. Not only does the sound never leak out, but the lighting of the fortifications is not raised, and it is completely pitch black. He is ready to paralyze the enemy with this appearance.

Wu Zhaolin led the engineering camp to get closer and closer. The closer and closer, the more frightened it became - Chu Wangtai always came to the night and was always bright, but why was it dark today? All the people died? Something was really wrong.

He was a little hesitant. But the city was ringing in his ears, and the torches were shaking in front of him, so he could not let him retreat at all. He made a fuss and opened his throat and shouted: "Comrades, there is the armory in front. If you seize the armory, the great cause of revolution will be halfway! Kill!"

"Kill..."

Everyone was completely dominated by the idea of ​​revolution, and was also blinded by this inspirational statement. They didn't care about concealing it. They just stood up and carried the torch forward quickly, as if it was not a battle but a cross-country running competition. Whoever could rush into the armory first would have the victory.

Unfortunately, this is just an idea that is extremely naive!

Seeing that the other party was getting closer, Sun Chuanfang rushed to the heavy machine gunner and whispered: "If you listen to my gunshots, just fire. Just shoot at the bright light."

"Yes! Do you want to warn in advance?"

"No need. How important is the armory? How can ordinary people come to the place when they say it?" Sun Chuanfang gritted his teeth. "It must be a rebellion, and you will be killed without any doubt! I will be responsible for anything that has nothing to do with you!"

It was indeed a murderous intent! Given his great reputation, ordinary guard officers and soldiers have long regarded him as their idol and backbone, and when they heard such orders, they naturally followed them.

"Bang!" Sun Chuanfang fired, and the gunshot broke the silence of Chu Wangtai and also hit Xiong Bingkun, Wu Zhaolin and others who were rushing forward.

"broken!"

"No, there is an enemy!" This is the sound of the two of them passing by each other in their hearts.

Then he shouted: "Get down quickly!"

But the order was half a step late, and the heavy machine guns of the Imperial Guards fired without hesitation. Wherever there were many people, the bullets would fly to wherever there were light; wherever there was light, the muzzle would greet them.

"Da da da da!"

"TuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTu

Two heavy machine guns arranged on the left and right horns began to speak the keynote. The continuous spray of bullets in the dark like two fire whips, sweeping the fan-shaped surface in front of them, reaping one life after another.

"Ah!" Crying sounds came one after another. The revolutionaries who were caught off guard were stunned by heavy machine guns. The soldiers who rushed to the front fell to the ground one after another, and the torches in their hands rolled to the ground. After landing, the torches were not so easy to extinguish, and the tenacious burning fire reflected the black shadows within a few steps nearby.

The deputy shooter continuously indicated the main shooter. He was originally an envoy who turned into ice, but the barrel of the gun was already hot under the force of gunpowder, and his whole body was emitting heat.

Just as the heavy machine gun was speaking, the rifle also began to speak in concert. "Bao!" The continuous Mauser Kar98 sent out bullet-shot screens, heading towards the target exposed to the flames.

30 seconds! Just 30 seconds! But it's a matter of life and death

The attackers of the engineering battalion were ruthlessly blocked by firepower, and corpses and wounded were everywhere on the ground, filled with wailings and sounds.

Some people think of fighting back, but the Imperial Guards have the advantage of geographical location on the one hand, and on the other hand, they have the advantage of fortifications. How could the revolutionaries be opponents? Chu Wangtai is located in a gradually rising slope. The revolutionary party fired from low to high, and was suppressed by the Imperial Guards. Moreover, the Imperial Guards have heavy machine gun fire. If the Revolutionary Party does not like being called by heavy machine guns, they should not even think of looking up. Under such suppressed firepower, the bullets fired by the Revolutionary Party blindly flew where they flew. Even a few of them rushed towards the targets were hit on the fortification sandbags and "clusters" and sounded.

What to do? The pressure like a mountain is pressing down on the revolutionary party.

Xiong Bingkun and Wu Zhaolin looked at each other, and they were unwilling to give up Chu Wangtai, the important place. The only place in Wuchang City was Chu Wangtai. After controlling this place, they obtained a steady supply and guarantee. If they lost these military supplies, the Revolutionary Army would seize the situation for a while, even if they controlled the situation for a while, they would be surrendered because they had no ammunition and food.

"Climb over!" Someone in the crowd used his companion's corpse to crawl forward, trying to touch the nearby areas of heavy machine guns to counterattack. Bullets shot in front of them, and drilled into the soil.

"Good guy." Sun Chuan

It was seen clearly in the telescope - although the revolutionary party suffered a lot of losses, he still had to attack. Recently, the person has already taken 40 steps away.

No! You must stop this momentum!

"Grenade!" Sun Chuanfang shouted.

—

Grenades are one of the powerful weapons of the Imperial Guards different from ordinary New Army. These long-handled grenades are imported from Germany, which are extremely powerful and are very convenient to throw. Although the domestic Texas Arsenal and Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau have imitated them, Sun Chuanfang knew that due to the differences in the quality of friction fuses and the level of steel casting, the same specifications of the national grenades are not the opponent of imported goods, and the production quantity is not too large. There are only a few national grenades in the New Army, but the Imperial Guards are not only sufficient, but also all imported goods - national grenades are generally used for training.

The momentum after the grenade exploded, all the revolutionary parties who were trying to attack again. They thought the Qing army opposite was equipped with artillery. They retreated in disappointment, with nearly a hundred corpses lying on the ground.

In the distance, the revolutionary army came to capture Chuwangtai and gathered more and more, but they rushed for several consecutive times without success. Apart from the infringement, they could not advance at all. The 100-step blockade line in front of the fortifications became a life-and-death line that they could not cross. Wu Zhaolin, Xiong Bingkun and the leaders of the revolutionary army who arrived later discussed and concluded that to take Chuwangtai, they had to use artillery, but where did the artillery come from urgently?

Artillery, where did the artillery go?

Cannons are the courage of the army! The Eighth Standards of the Nanhu Artillery Team are the troops that the Revolutionary Party has always put the most force. Relatively speaking, the cultural quality and insights of the artillery team officers and soldiers are better than those of ordinary infantry, and the corresponding agitation of the Revolutionary Party has a market in the army. Before the action that night, Cai Hanqing, the representative of the Artillery Team, had instructed relevant personnel to replace the mountain cannon-ground striker with regular springs. Hearing the gunshots in the city and the fire rising from the sky, Cai shouted loudly, ordering the rest of the people to run around and gather together, and quickly gather the crowd.

The artillery team officer was originally on the mahjong fork. When he heard the chaos outside, he hurriedly came out to stop him. Cai flew up and kicked the team officer to the ground, then rushed forward and smashed the opponent with a gun stock. While gathering, the teams were dragging artillery and shells to prepare to enter the city. Soon, the artillery team had gathered 9 of them and more than 500 people.

Go into the city quickly!

The officers and soldiers guarding Zhonghe Gate were recently mobilized to patrol the battalion in the city. They were not familiar with the situation, and their equipment and training were extremely poor. They were no match for the revolutionary party at all. After firing a few shots, they scattered birds and beasts and gave way out the city gate. At this time, the revolutionaries of other camps stationed outside the city also led the crowd to attack and entered the city continuously from Zhonghe Gate.

This place is not far from the Chuwangtai Armory, and it is only one mile away in a straight line. However, when the Revolutionary Party dragged artillery into the door, the Eighth Battalion of the attacking armory had not yet exchanged fire with the remaining imperial guards. Therefore, the artillery team was completely unaware of it. They only divided into three groups with other men and horses, and launched an attack on the Governor's Office and the Eighth Town Command close to the Supervisor's Office at night. In addition to the artillery team, there were also a total of 1,000 horses, baggage, infantry and other people, and many troops gathered from all directions.

Since the imperial envoy's station is more internal than the above two places, it has not been directly affected, but it is still in danger.

Recently, due to the unstable situation, Chen Kuilong has been studying strategies in the yamen, either discussing with various generals, or discussing with his close staff. When the accident broke out, he did not know that the Imperial Guard had sent a team of troops to control the Chuwangtai Armory.

Hearing gunshots and screams outside, Chen Kuilong's face turned pale and asked repeatedly: "What's going on, what's going on?"

The staff looked at each other, and no one could figure out what was going on, so no one could answer.

Chen was furious and smashed the cup in his hand to the ground on the spot, cursing angrily: "A bunch of rice buckets!"

While he was anxious, a personal soldier ran over as if he was flying: "Sir... it's not good, the revolutionary party is in chaos, and Wuchang City is in chaos."

"What?" Chen Kuilong was spinning and almost fell to the ground. The person next to him was quick-witted and quickly supported him.

"Hurry, ask Li Zhengqing to come and discuss matters." Zhang Biao has led his troops out of the city to suppress the bandits, and now the only one who is expected is Li Yuanhong.

Li Yuanhong came hurriedly without waiting for hello. Seeing that he was about to salute, Chen Kuilong stopped him and said in a crying voice: "Zhengqing, the revolutionary party is in trouble, Wuchang is in chaos, you... hurry up and come up with a solution."

"Yes, the Beizhi has made the following arrangements: Forty-one mark is the left road, with Changjie as the main defense line, and the front edge extends to Wangfukou Street and Nanlou area to defend against the revolutionary party entering the city from Wushengmen and the westward from Yuemachang; the patrol team and fire brigade are the right road, with Baoanmen Main Street as the main defense line, and the front edge extends to the Jinshui Gate area to defend against the revolutionary party entering the city from Nanhu Lake; the police are distributed in the streets and alleys north of the Supervisory Office and east of Changjie, and the front edge reaches the Yuemachang and Ziyang Bridge area."

Sure enough, the style of a famous general was a complete plan in just a few seconds.

Chen Kuilong burst into tears: "Zhengqing, I will entrust all my life and life to you."

"Don't worry, with Yuan Hong here, the thief dare not hurt him at all."

"We must keep the imperial envoy. Keep it!" Chen Kuilong emphasized repeatedly, "If they have any accidents, even if you and I have three heads, they will not be enough to cut them in the future."

"The imperial envoy is guarded by the Imperial Guards, and they are known as the elites in the army, so there should be no problem."

"The revolutionary party is powerful, so you must always be careful. No matter how strong the imperial guards are, they will not have artillery. What if the rioters fire their artillery?"

This is a big problem! Li Yuanhong frowned, but he still comforted Chen Kuilong and said, "Please rest assured, my humble position has been prepared."

Chen Kuilong breathed a long sigh and said tremblingly: "If you don't succeed, you will be successful. If Wuchang City is broken, I don't want to live anymore!"

"I'm a swearing to live and die together with Wuchang City!"
Chapter completed!
