Daming Military Empire

Chapter 657

Fu Yunlong quickly followed the flow of people into the gate passage on the first floor. At this time, nearly 500 people had poured in, but all of them did not rush in, but crowded around the gate, looking at a loss.

After understanding the situation in a hurry, Fu Yunlong immediately raised his hand and stretched out three fingers, which meant to implement the third set of tactics.

Seeing this, the leading Jinyiwei instructor immediately said to Major Bastian in French: "Take your people, continue to the second floor, and continue to the third floor after taking the second-story city gate, don't stop!"

Bastian has completely lost his bones at this time, and he will do what others tell him to do, and he has no intention of resisting at all.

Hearing Jin Yiwei's instructor's order, he nodded quickly, then raised his hand and said loudly: "All follow me."

Naturally, he ordered those French prisoners who surrendered with him. These people did not have any resistance, and followed him directly, walking towards the gate on the second floor of the bastion.

There is no way, they want to live, or they are not afraid of death, they would have died long ago.

Behind them, the Ming army special forces who had just sneaked in did not disperse immediately, but lingered near the city gate, some bent over to pant, some sat down to wipe their sweat, and some lay down on the ground and pretended to be paralyzed. It seemed that he was exhausted, and after entering the bastion, he didn't want to move anymore.

These people did not attract the attention of the bastion defenders. Who knows how far these fleeing soldiers ran. After they reached a safe place, they breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't move anymore. This is normal.

The eyes of the bastion defenders have been focused on the group led by Bastian, because they are walking towards the gate on the second floor.

However, no one in the defenders saw anything wrong, because this group of people seemed to be the original defenders of the bastion, and they also knew Major Bastian in front, although this guy was famous He is afraid of death, but he is indeed a major of the No. [-] bastion defenders, and he is also considered one of the top leaders in the bastion.

Bastian's expression at this time is not very normal. His face has become pale and scary, and the cold sweat on his forehead even wets his hair. No matter who it is, it can be seen at a glance that this guy must be frightened up.

However, no one in the bastion defenders doubted him, because almost everyone in the bastion knew that this guy was timid and afraid of death. It would be strange for him to be calm and even heroic after he fled back.

After this group of people arrived at the city gate on the second floor, they were still crowded in the passageway of the city gate. They didn't know if they were tired or what, anyway, they just stayed there and didn't go until some of the rout soldiers rushed up from behind. go forward.

At this time, the guards at the gate on the second floor were also silently killed. Those standing there were no longer French soldiers, but Ming army special forces. Since thousands of people were rushing in, the whole scene was chaotic and no one was there. Take note of these.

After the second-floor city gate was completely occupied, Bastian followed the order of the Jinyiwei instructor and continued to walk forward with [-] French soldiers who surrendered. However, this time, he was in trouble because the third-floor bastion All the cronies of Major General Bliss lived in the barracks. There were only a thousand or so people living in the barracks, and none of them went out with the second group of people. Obviously, these rout soldiers did not live on the third floor.

Just as Bastian led them to the gate of the third-story city, the French soldiers guarding the gate immediately shouted: "Stop, what are you doing?"

Bastian stammered: "General Bliss asked me to report the situation."

The soldier guarding the gate doubted: "What are you doing with so many people to report the situation?"

Bastian didn't know why he brought so many people. He could only bite the bullet and said, "I don't know either. General Bliss asked me to bring them up."

And this kind of thing, the soldier guarding the gate obviously didn't believe it. He was hesitating whether to ask someone to confirm with General Bliss. All the soldiers guarding the city gate covered their mouths, pressed them against the city wall, and slammed their daggers, killing them!

It's a bit risky to do this. If someone happened to be watching from behind the door opening on the third floor, they would be completely exposed. Fortunately, they were lucky, and there was no one behind the door opening.

As for the second floor, there is no need to worry. There are about [-] surrendered prisoners blocking the view. As long as the killed guards do not make a sound, the enemy will not be able to find it.

Bastian was already frightened by their risky blow. I don’t know if he felt guilty for bringing people to kill his compatriots, or if he was afraid of being found and beaten into a sieve. In short, he just stood there and didn’t move. .

The Jinyiwei instructor didn't bother him, but just winked at the people behind, and those captives who surrendered hurriedly walked into the doorway, blocking the corpses on the ground with their bodies.

At last, he won't be discovered, Jin Yiwei's instructor sighed, and then raised his right hand as a gesture of success.

Fu Yunlong, who was secretly watching this side from behind, saw the gesture and immediately winked at the squadron leaders next to him, and then led five hundred people to the third-floor doorway.

After the squadron leaders got the eye signal, they immediately started to disperse with their men to the first and second floors. It seemed that they had enough rest and were ready to return to the camp. However, everyone covered their stomachs with their hands intentionally or unintentionally. , It looks like they have a stomachache, but they are actually preparing to kill, because they all have daggers hidden in their waists.

Fu Yunlong led five hundred people to the third-floor doorway, observed the surrounding situation for a while, and then ordered decisively: "Start."

Following his order, more than [-] special forces soldiers walked towards the city walls on both sides, while the remaining dozen or so people miraculously unloaded a cloth bag from their backs.

These cloth bags are almost as tall as a person, and they don't know how they hide them. After they unloaded the cloth bags, they didn't hesitate to tear off the ragged clothes wrapped outside. Finally, the contents inside were revealed. Sniper rifle!
At this time, the French soldiers on guard on the tower already felt that something was wrong. The first and second floors were quite normal, but the rout soldiers scattered. The third floor was strange. Some people ran towards the city wall again. It seems that it's not time to change the guard yet. Besides, the change of guard is not to use these broken soldiers who just escaped from the outside to change it?
Just as they were hesitating whether to warn, more than a dozen gun barrels suddenly protruded from the opening of the third-story city gate. There was a burst of gunshots, and the guards of the tower fell down clutching their necks.

With this burst of gunshots, it seemed as if a pot had exploded in the bastion, and the sound of gunshots and grenade explosions could be heard everywhere.

At this time, the limitations of muskets are revealed, especially the front-loading muskets of the French army, which take a lot of time to reload.

If the enemy attacked from the outside, they would naturally have enough time to reload their ammunition. However, the enemy attacked from the inside, and they all suddenly came out from behind them to attack. There is no time!
