Chapter Thirty-Four Civil and Military
After hearing Chen Youqing's words, Zhang Huaide suddenly realized and slapped his high-high and said, "Miao, Miao, the Second Young Master is indeed a dragon among the people. Oh, he is really brave and resourceful. After fighting these days, there are more than 100 Burmese people who died under the Second Young Master, and the Second Young Master is unscathed. How brave is this?"
"Now, the Second Young Master has allowed me to see his smart side again. He is very wise and brave. Even if we fight for this life, we must protect the Second Young Master. From now on, our son and the Second Young Master will definitely be a good life of great success and great wealth!"
"At the beginning, if we hadn't defected to the good master, we wouldn't have the good life we have today. Fortunately, our son always liked to hang out with the second master instead of following the eldest master. In the past, we were worried that they wouldn't be foolish and wouldn't be with others. Now it seems that the real stupid person is ourselves, hahahaha!"

"Okay, it's good that everyone is here, just fight like yesterday! As long as we can be as brave as yesterday, I promise that we can survive today and we can make another day! Brothers, do you have confidence!" Chen Shiqing shouted.
"Yes~! Yes~! Yes~!"
Soldiers who are trapped in desperate situations are often the most morale. Since they have forgotten their life and death, what else can they worry about?
Yesterday, there were many casualties. Now there are only 31 people left in a 54-member war, and twenty-three people died. Yesterday, if the three brothers had not cared for their lives and carried explosives to fight, perhaps these 31 people would have to be explained to the city wall.
It seems on the books that there are thirty-one people. In fact, except for Chen Shiqing and Ai Na, everyone is injured, but the degree of injury is high and low.
It is really not easy to face the attacks of hundreds of Burmese people under the city walls with these twenty-nine wounded soldiers and two healthy soldiers. However, Chen Shiqing had changed his mind at this moment. He had a strong feeling that this Burmese army had reached the verge of collapse. Not to mention 500 people, he was not afraid of 50,000 people.
"Sir, the preparation is complete. As long as the Burmese people come, they will know how powerful we are!" Aina smiled proudly, and he took out a hundred muskets and dozens of boxes of gunpowder from the warehouse of Shiguan.
As long as these gunpowder are there, everyone will have a clear mind. If I want to die, I will bring dozens of people to death together. What are you afraid of? As for when I go to the underworld, I am not afraid of you seeking revenge. We are Chinese. If we die, we will report to the underworld of Hell in China. All we have will be good brothers from our own people.
"Okay, everyone will do it! Get ready for the battle!" Chen Shiqing waved with satisfaction.
Soon, the Myanmar army took the courage to launch a charge again. Although it was still rushing in the mountains and seas, it was very weak. How could the Burmese people who were already exhausted, full of wounded soldiers, and hungry and had no strength to fight, organize an attack that felt suffocating?
As expected, after surviving the most difficult attack yesterday, the Burmese people were exhausted. It seemed that they were very likely to continue to survive.
"Swoosh!"
"Swoosh!"
"puff!"
"puff!"
Chen Shiqing calmly launched the shooting, and the green fish bow kept spewing sharp arrows, and two Burmese soldiers were shot overturned on their backs.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The muskets on the city wall also began to fire volleys, rows of Burmese soldiers continued to fall, and the remaining Burmese soldiers were still shouting weakly.
I've been hungry for two days and still being able to raise my knife to start a charge is already a miracle. It is indeed impossible to have a better performance.
Soon, the Burmese rushed to the city wall and began a face-to-face hand-to-hand battle with the Qing army. The battle with bayonets began.
At this time, Chen Shiqing wanted the most to have the weapon of the Qing army. In fact, for enemies who climb the city wall, the best way is not to use a knife to cut it, but to poke it with an inch long and strong spear. If the spear is sufficient, one person will be equipped with ten, and he will pick it up and stab the Burmese soldiers climbing on the ladder. He stabs one of them to death, and just push down the city wall, and then pick up a spear and stab it again. It is very convenient.
But now it seems that the Burmese people don’t like using weapons like long spears, so Chen Shiqing searched the warehouse and found no spears. There was no way, so he had to continue to attack the Burmese with the sword.
"ah!"
After a scream, Chen Shiqing saw a Qing army endured the huge pain and stabbed the Burmese soldier who had injured him.
It seems that the Burmese people really can't stand it anymore. If it were yesterday, the Qing army would definitely die if this knife continued.
"Swoosh!"
"Swoosh!"
Chen Shiqing continued to shoot, one Burmese after another was shot to death. Now the Burmese will fall very quickly. Compared with yesterday, it seems like a group of people have become.
With the Qing army's not fierce counterattack, the Burmese army, which had only lost more than fifty people, retreated back again. No matter how hard they guessed and Luka, they stopped charging.
On the one hand, they were hungry for two days and their physical fitness decreased severely, so the time for continuous combat was of course reduced. On the other hand, their fighting will indeed slip to freezing point.
"Luca, we are going to retreat tonight!" Jae Chai said helplessly.
"Yes! Your Highness, don't worry, we will sneak away with our own people at night, no one will know, but after entering the mountains and forests, we can't ride horses." Luca said worriedly.
Jae Chai said with a wry smile: "It would be great if you can survive. Why do you still ride a horse? Besides, do we still have horses? There are only a few horses, aren't everyone eating them all?"
Luca nodded and agreed, "These people are no longer useful. It is impossible to expect them to capture Shiguan. It is important for us to withdraw Mengyang City as soon as possible. Now, the people in Mengyang City do not know that Shiguan has been lost. Without being prepared, if the Qing army suddenly crosses Shiguan and launches an attack on Mengyang City, then Mengyang City will be in danger!"
"Yes, Mengyang City cannot be thrown out easily! Although Shiguan is lost, as long as Mengyang City is still there, the Qing army will not invade into Myanmar and threaten the Awa Royal City. As long as they are blocked outside Mengyang City, we will still not be considered a failure, and the Qing army will still be unable to advance. After a long time, their food and grass supply cannot be supplied, so they can only choose to withdraw. At that time, Shiguan will still be ours!" said Jae Kuai.
