These soldiers who stood guard at the top of the city were only given a small bottle of water every day, but they also had to shoulder the heaviest combat missions, resulting in extremely serious attrition.
However, after a while, some people saw that the hot air balloon was not only painted with the emblem of the Ninth Army of the People's Republic of China, but even the soldiers on it were wearing military uniforms of the People's Republic of China.
"It's our reinforcements!" the soldier shouted excitedly.
The officer remained calm, "Attention, the other party has occupied our armory, and it is very likely that people will wear our military uniforms. Everyone should be careful."
One hundred and fifty hot air balloons are entrenched over the main city, but they are in no hurry to land. The officers on the hot air balloon know that their friendly forces in the city have now become frightened birds. In this case, if they are allowed to fly in an extremely nervous situation
Forced landing may cause serious misunderstandings or even conflicts.
"Brothers, we are the Zhitian Camp of the Ninth Army Corps of Dinghai. I am Zhang Hongchuan, the second squadron leader of the Zhitian Camp! Our main force is about to launch a general offensive tomorrow morning. We will enter the city as an advance team to help everyone reorganize the city defense.
!”
Several soldiers were stunned and quickly ran to the officer, "Sir, we are from the second squadron. We can hear his voice. He is indeed Mr. Zhang. They are really reinforcements."
The words of the soldiers spread quickly across the city. Hundreds of ragged defenders on the city suddenly burst into cheers like a mountain roar and a tsunami, "Reinforcements are coming! Our reinforcements are coming!"
The hot air balloon brigade landed in the city, and the soldiers filed down and continued to carry various supplies from above. This time they not only brought life-saving food and water, but also brought more than 50,000 well-made balloons.
Feather arrows.
"As long as we persist tonight, the army will launch a general attack tomorrow morning. We will come to a central place and completely drive those Baiyue people who retaliate against us from the land of Dingnan Province!"
The soldiers boarded the city one after another to replace the physically and mentally prepared defenders. At this moment, the Baiyue people below the city launched another common-sense attack.
"Get ready!" the officer shouted, "go quickly and bring the broad-feathered arrows brought by the reinforcements to the top of the city!"
At this time, Zhang Hongchuan smiled mysteriously and said, "Don't worry, we have brought someone more effective."
The city guarding officer looked at Zhang Hongchuan in confusion, and then realized that the more than 500 reinforcements who had boarded the city, in addition to standard equipment such as sabers, each of them was carrying a strange-looking guy.
The wooden handle and the long iron tube are not sharp at all. These things... aren't they just fire sticks?
The officer asked suspiciously, "Brother, can you kill the Baiyue people with these fire sticks?"
Zhang Hongchuan did not answer directly. He raised his hand and said, "Second Musketry Team of the Ninth Army's Yutian Camp, get ready!"
The five hundred soldiers raised the "fire sticks" in their hands, placed the wooden handle on their shoulder blades, and pointed one end of the iron pipe towards the city, aiming at the thousands of Vietnamese people rushing towards the city.
"Aim at the target and prepare!" Zhang Hongzhou stared at the Baiyue people below the city, "Report the target distance."
A soldier held a small red flag and raised a thumb in front of his eyes, "The enemy is three hundred steps away..."
"Two hundred and fifty steps..."
"Report after one hundred and fifty steps!" Zhang Hongchuan shouted impatiently.
Time passed little by little, and the soldiers holding red flags suddenly shouted, "One hundred and fifty steps!"
