703 Continued to fight
Seeing the saint cheer up again, Ah Qi couldn't help but be happy in his heart.
"The saint is dedicated to the people, and it is the blessing of the people of the world!"
In addition to Zheng Fang, Ah Qi, who has always been silent, couldn't help but praise the saint at this moment.
In fact, the Great Yuan pilgrims, even if they gave up defending the city for the sake of the concubines and princes, there is nothing wrong with it, after all, no one is qualified to ask for a saint, and he must give up himself for the sake of the world, right?
But the saint really did this, and made such a painful choice, in the saint's body, I am afraid that only he can understand it.
"Alas......"
Ah Qi's praise was exchanged for a sigh from the saint.
As time passed, a tug-of-war began to fight on the city, and the rebels could not really capture the city, and Zheng Fang could not push back the 100,000-strong army.
The situation began to change from other places.
After the fall of the imperial city, thousands of enemy troops lurking in the capital began to touch the gates.
The defenders there were crushed in a single blow under the attack of these thousand elite men, and soon the gates of the city were opened on all sides.
"Report !!"
In the rebel camp, the herald quickly rushed to Bao Hu, who was holding a beautiful woman and drinking and having fun with a group of staff.
"The east and west city gates have been opened, and the old master has already led his troops to march!"
"Okay! Let's go!"
Hearing this, Bao Hu clapped his hands and said happily, immediately threw away the beauty in his arms, and rushed towards the side door, and the attack on the city, under the advice of the foreign company liaison, did not evacuate.
"General, the imperial city has fallen, and the enemy army has switched to the east and west gates, and now the city gates have been opened by them!"
When this news was delivered, even the herald's heart was a bad feeling.
On the frontal battlefield, Zheng Fang, with 3,000 people, fought with the opponent's 100,000 army, but now it was broken from the side, which is regrettable.
"Well, I know. ”
Nodding, Zheng Fang didn't care about that side, but observed the movements of the rebels.
The other party has already pulled out the camp and is ready to march towards the city, but there are still more than 10,000 siege troops left.
According to the current strangulation speed, these more than 10,000 people can still hold out for about an hour, which is enough time for Bao Hu's army to enter the city from the side gate.
"Hmph, wishful thinking. ”
The corners of his mouth provoked a sneer, Zheng Fang continued to command, now that the number of enemy followers has decreased, what Zheng Fang has to do is not to keep them under the city tower, but to annihilate them as soon as possible!
And at the east and west gates, the elites of those foreign companies who opened the city gates from the inside did not know that their feet had been buried with explosives by Zheng Fang.
3,000 people, a super city, facing 100,000 rebels, Zheng Fang's first consideration was how to guard these city gates?
In the first time before the battle, Zheng Yi ordered people to bury all the city gates with explosives, and the yield used must be enough to blow up the city gates to slow down the enemy's offensive.
Bao Hu and them, when attacking the city, did not choose to break through the city gates, which did not surprise Zheng Fang at first.
After all, the quality of the soldiers is there, and after the 100,000 army is divided, even if it stands at the head of the city, without the premise of the main force to continue, Zheng Fang can better annihilate the troops.
Moreover, the gap in the quality of the opponent's soldiers, in terms of mobility, is completely inferior to Zheng Fang's troops, if they dare to fight like that, Zheng Yi dares to give them a city wall movement battle, and take advantage of the time difference to kill the enemy without leaving a piece of armor.
And Bao Hu didn't do that, in Zheng Fang's opinion, it should be that they know that this method doesn't work.
Of course, Zheng Fang only realized afterwards that he was overestimating the commander of the other party after the command of the second siege battle, and at the level of Bao Hu, let alone in Zheng Fang's hands, even in Ran Zhen's hands, he couldn't get the slightest favor.
"The city gate action teams, can you be?"
Turning around, Zheng Fang entered the city tower, picked up the phone on the table, and dialed a few numbers.
Telephone communication is naturally to prevent the other party from capturing the signal, and this ancient method of communication is the most secure in modern times.
"Squad 1 is on standby
Operational Team 2 is on standby,
Task Force 3 is on standby......"
Hearing the feedback from the various city gates, Zheng Fang nodded with satisfaction.
After the explosives were planted, they were on standby in the underground hiding point near the city gate, and all communications relied on the telephone lines buried inside.
This is also the premise of Zheng Fang's guarantee that the team can successfully detonate the explosives.
"Report! The enemy ambush has entered the city!"
Soon, news came from the east city gate, hearing this, Zheng Fang's eyes narrowed, he didn't expect that the rebels still had an ambush?
Originally, in Zheng Fang's plan, these explosives were naturally prepared for Bao Hu, but now that there are ambushes, it is impossible to wait for Bao Hu to be in place.
"Operation Team One, detonate explosives after the enemy vanguard enters the city!"
After giving the order, Zheng Fang set his eyes on the west city gate, which was the direction of Bao Hu's advance, and as soon as the east city gate was blown up, they were afraid that it would be time to stop the march.
"Ji Jian listens to orders!"
"In!"
Thinking of this, Zheng Fang ordered again.
"Point a thousand soldiers, quickly, rush to the west city gate, fight the enemy army in the city, heavy containment, few casualties!"
"Yes!!"
Hearing Zheng Fang's order, Ji Jian immediately set off.
Now that the time has passed, Zheng Fang's side of the south gate where they are actually no longer under much pressure.
These rebels who stayed behind to continue the siege were originally used as cannon fodder, not to mention the extremely poor quality of the soldiers, and there were even signs of cowardly fleeing all the time.
It was only the presence of those officers who were supervising the battle behind him that reluctantly allowed these people to continue to rush forward reluctantly.
Now that the main force has gone away, those officers who supervised the battle have even shown fatigue, and they all have the idea of withdrawing the army, after all, the task is completed, and there is no need to fight to the death with Zheng Fang here.
"Almost. ”
Seeing this, Zheng Fang muttered, and rushed directly down the city wall.
At this moment, there are only four or five thousand rebels left, and none of the officers in the rear are dead, how can Zheng Fang agree to such a situation?
The ghost-like swift and shadowless figure shuttled between those supervising officers, Zheng Fang frantically harvested his life, and soon, the management of the rebel siege force of nearly forty people was killed by Zheng Fang.
"The officers have all died, the rebels have surrendered, but they will not die!!"
After killing those officers, Zheng Fang stood behind the siege troops and shouted at the soldiers who were still besieging the city ahead.
At this moment, where do those soldiers who are already cowardly still have the idea of continuing to fight?
