"The guns are coming, the guns are coming!"
Not long after the defenders of Nanguan Island repelled the slave bandits' attack, soldiers from the rear quickly ran over.
Wang Ju, who was almost impatient when he heard that the artillery was delivered, looked happy and hurriedly said to Zhao Wu beside him: "Yingzheng, our artillery has arrived, let's start!"
"You are quite anxious, but have you asked the defenders of Nanguan Island?" Zhao Wu looked at Wang Ju with a smile.
Wang Ju looked surprised and said, "What are you asking the defenders of Nanguan Island for?"
"Ask them if they need help!" Zhao Wu said with a smile.
When Wang Ju heard this, he didn't know that the other party was making fun of him, so he said: "Our cannons have also been transported here. I think it's almost time to take action. If we delay for a while, I'm afraid that Nanguan Island won't be able to be defended." ”
The military fortress in Nanguan Island was already crumbling under the repeated attacks of slave thieves.
"How many cannons have been brought?" Zhao Wu did not answer Wang Ju's words, but looked back at the soldiers who delivered the message.
The other party replied: "Three, one four-pounder cannon, two small Franconian cannons, and the people from the 1,000-man regiment of the official army who arrived together."
"Didn't you tell them to pick up the cannon from the sea? Why did you come here on your own?" Wang Ju showed displeasure on his face.
The slave bandits who attacked Nanguan Island had four or five cannons. The situation on the defenders' side was similar, but they only brought three cannons, obviously suffering a disadvantage in terms of artillery fire.
Accustomed to using artillery fire to suppress the enemy, he is very aware of the power of cannon, the god of war, on the battlefield. Once one's own cannon cannot suppress the opponent's cannon, one's own casualties will become serious.
The soldier who delivered the letter said to him: "My subordinates don't know this."
"Is the captain of the artillery team here?" Zhao Wu asked.
The soldier who delivered the letter shook his head and said: "I didn't see Captain Wu. First update @ "
"Okay, you go down first!" Zhao Wu motioned to the soldiers delivering the message to leave first.
The soldier who delivered the message turned around and left.
At this time, Wang Ju said to Zhao Wu: "Should we continue to wait? If not, three cannons are barely enough, and there are more than a thousand men."
"Wait a moment, our cannon should be on its way." Zhao Wu once again rejected Wang Ju's proposal to fight.
In his opinion, this is not the best time to take action.
However, no one knows the accident and who will come first tomorrow.
With the arrival of the thousands-man army, the movement may have become louder, attracting the attention of both warring parties on the battlefield.
"Beiyu, a Ming army was found on the hillside on the left." A slave soldier came to Nahai to report.
Nahai is the second son of Fei Yingdong, the five founding ministers of the pseudo-golden state.
He was stationed at the Jinzhou Guard, under the supervision of Niu Lu, and at the same time, he was accompanied by a slave soldier from Niu Lu and about a thousand Han soldiers.
"The reinforcements from Nanguan arrived quickly enough!" Nahai said, and then shouted to a Han general not far away, "Jia Zhenba, take your cavalry and stop the cavalry on the hillside. The Ming army must not be used to reinforce the Ming army in Nanguan."
"嗻!"
A guerrilla named Jia Zhenba received Nahai's order and summoned his own cavalry, which numbered less than 200.
He got on his horse and led his men towards Zhao Wu and other soldiers and horses with the tiger flag hiding in the direction of the hillside. ….

Zhao Wu, who was observing the battlefield with a monocular, immediately noticed something unusual on the side of the slaves and thieves. When he saw cavalry approaching his hiding place, he immediately understood that they had been discovered.
"We have been discovered. Send the order to prepare for battle."
The soldiers of the Tiger Flag had already learned all kinds of orders deeply in their bones. As soon as the order was issued, they immediately entered the combat state. Even the gunners pushed the three guns to the front of the formation.
Because the 1,000-man army unit used to be part of the Ming army, its reaction was slower. Fortunately, there was a squadron of tiger-character flag soldiers to maintain the situation, preventing unexpected situations like out-of-control situations from happening.
The weapons of the 1,000-man regiment of the official army were all replaced by long spears.
It's not that there aren't rich firecrackers for them to use, but that the officers and soldiers who have taken refuge have not received special training, and using long weapons such as spears is more suitable for them than firecrackers.
boom! boom! boom!

Chapter 2262 Slave Rider
A four-pounder cannon and two small Franco machine guns, under the control of the gunner, took the lead in firing at the approaching cavalry of the slave bandits.
Because it is on a slope, it occupies a favorable location.
In addition, the cavalry on the side of the slaves and thieves may not have paid attention to the people with the Tiger Flag, so the cavalry did not spread too far apart when charging.
In this way, the power of the three gates has almost reached its maximum.
Falling into the crowd of cavalry, there were splashes of blood, and more than a dozen cavalry were killed with just three shots.
Jia Zhenba, who led the cavalry charge, also reacted very quickly. After discovering a cannon on the hillside, he immediately ordered his cavalry to disperse to reduce the loss of the artillery attack.
The sound of artillery on the hillside also attracted the attention of the defenders in the South Guam Fort.
"General, the slave thieves' cavalry has gone to the east hillside, and there seems to be our reinforcements there." One of the officers and soldiers guarding the city pointed to the hillside on the right side of the military fort and said.
The guard of Nanguan Fort is a Qianhu.
The movement on the hillside to the east also attracted his attention. At this moment, he was covered in blood. Someone's blood was on his armor and stomach, and there was blood on the knife edge in his hand.
"Should we send a team of people to rescue the reinforcements on the hillside?" said Baihu, who was also stained with a lot of blood.
Qianhu looked at the hillside to the east, shook his head slightly, and said: "Our people cannot leave the fort. The slave soldiers outside are watching eagerly. Once we send troops to receive reinforcements, the slave thieves will probably take the opportunity to attack the military fort again. , what you and I have to ensure is that the military fort cannot be lost, and as for the reinforcements, their own lives depend on them."
"It's a pity that the supporting troops are here. If they can successfully join us, we can still hold on even if there are twice as many slave soldiers." The hundred households beside him sighed softly.
It was so difficult for them to defend with the help of the military fort. Once they left the military fort, they really didn't have the confidence to fight with the slave soldiers outside the city.
"Leave it to fate!" Qianhu said and stopped looking at the situation on the east hillside.
The slave thieves only sent less than 200 cavalry to deal with the reinforcements coming from the rear, and they still had to face the main force of the slave thieves here in Nanguan.
On the other side, Zhao Wu, who was misunderstood as an official soldier, was always approaching the slave cavalry.
He couldn't tell whether the ones coming were real slave thieves or Han slave thieves.
In his opinion, anyone who has his head shaved is a slave thief, whether he is a real slave thief or a Han slave thief, he should be killed.
The gunners of the Tiger Flag are more elite than the gunners of the Ming Army or the slave thieves. Both in terms of loading speed and accuracy, they are better than the other two.
After the Tiger Flag gunners on the hillside achieved great results in the first round of shelling, they quickly shelled the invading cavalry twice more.
However, the results of the last two shellings were much smaller. The two rounds of shellings combined only damaged five or six enemy cavalry.
As the enemy cavalry dispersed, it was difficult to pose much of a threat with only three cannons. .
