Chapter 649: Capture Shu City

His own army has lost half of its troops, but the enemy has no intention of retreating, and the flying eagle is puzzled and anxious in his heart!

I wonder how this Xinghua Army soldier doesn't seem to know how to write the word "afraid", he has already killed six of their colleagues alive in front of the Xinghua Army soldiers, such a bloody scene has not made the Xinghua Army soldiers have the slightest sign of retreat, as if they feel that they are invulnerable, what kind of tough military momentum is this?!

The Eagle was agitated by this. Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 info He didn't have much chance of winning anymore and attacked again. The current situation is really a bag, to say that the subordinates brought by the Flying Eagle are also professionals, but now, they don't necessarily take much advantage.

The Flying Eagle felt a deep resentment in his heart. It's just that, although emotionally, he really wants to continue the attack, and it is best to annihilate the enemy army in one fell swoop, but he also rationally recognizes the reality, it is better for them to retreat first, otherwise, I am afraid that the whole army will be annihilated.

So, with his wounds, the Flying Eagle quickly jumped off the city wall and went out of the city.

Here, when Wei Wuji rushed to the city wall, he didn't expect that what fell into his eyes was the corpse of a Xinghua soldier in one place!

He had already tried his best to arrive, but he didn't necessarily come in time, the corpses of his compatriots in one place made Wei Wuji's heart feel as if he had overturned the five-flavor bottle, and he felt so guilty that he was angry, and his tone was as cold as freezing, and he roared: "What about the enemy?"

The surviving soldier pointed in the direction of the wall and replied, "Jumped off the wall." ”

Wei Wuji looked out of the city wall, there was a thick darkness, and after several struggles, he still had to stop. Since the weather is unfavorable, it is not difficult to chase, not to mention, from the performance of the Flying Eagle, it can be seen that he is definitely not a professional with average strength, to deal with such a senior professional, if you are not fully sure, it is best not to chase after it, otherwise, if you really let the Xinghua Army special combat team go out of the city to catch up, and the Flying Eagle may be just a delaying tactic, but in fact it is ambushed, then the Xinghua Army special combat team that chased out of the city must be easily broken by him one by one.

After some thought, Wei Wuji thought that it was better to settle everything in the county government first, so he gritted his teeth and gave up the pursuit of the Flying Eagle.

Headquarters.

Zhao Chang had been paying close attention to the situation outside, and when he heard that the city had gradually calmed down, and there were no more nervous gunshots and noises, Zhao Chang finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his hanging heart gradually fell.

The news of what happened in Xiangshan County seemed to be blocked, and it did not spread out in time, so Qiu Qianjun, who was far away in the middle of Yunzhou, did not know about the changes in Xiangshan County, and Qin Zhengguo did not receive the news, and did not know that Xia Guo had sent professionals to attack Xiangshan County, and the civilian granaries were burned and the county government of Xiangshan County was attacked.

Because of this, the upcoming war between the two armies, the battle between the army of the Xia State and the army of the Xinghua Empire, was not additionally affected. Now, the supreme leaders of the two armies, Qiu Qianjun of the Xia State Army, and Qin Zhengguo of the Xinghua Empire Army, are all concerned about the deployment of troops and generals in various places without distraction, and each has made preparations.

It's just that the delay in the delivery of news is not only a positive effect - it allows the two armies to concentrate more on arranging battle formations according to the battle plan, and at the same time, it inevitably has a negative effect, especially for Qiu Qianjun of the Xia army.

Because he didn't know about it, Qiu Qianjun made a particularly low-level mistake. When he saw that the Xinghua army could stand up to meet the battle openly, he self-righteously concluded that the Xinghua army must have been so devoted to fighting against their Xia army because they had not yet learned that the Liangzhou army had sent the cavalry of the Flying Eagle to attack them, and the Liangzhou army cavalry was invincible, even if they were about to start a war at the moment, as long as the mission of the Flying Eagle was successful, as soon as the news came, no matter how well prepared the Xinghua Empire army was and how rigorous the combat layout was, it would eventually be defeated and defeated and completely become a prisoner of their Xia army。

This idea of underestimating the enemy excessively made Qiu Qianjun make this wrong decision - he actually allowed the Xinghua Army to calmly arrange the formation against the Xia Army. Moreover, Qiu Qianjun also fantasized about defeating the Xinghua Army on the frontal battlefield.

"How are the departments preparing?" Qin Zhengguo asked the staff officer in the command headquarters.

"The artillery battalion is already in place, two hundred mortars, ready to fire at any time!"

"The rifle battalion is ready!"

"The submachine gun battalion is ready!"

"The Coalition Army is ready!"

"The ministries are ready to wait for the commander's orders!"

Qin Zhengguo was a little excited, this was the first time he commanded a large army to fight. If he can succeed, he may not be able to find a different path and become a general of the empire, and in the future, it will not be difficult to be knighted.

Qin Zhengguo picked up the walkie-talkie and said: "Give me a hard shelling of the Xia army's army, fifteen minutes, I want them to lose more than fifty percent of their combat effectiveness." ”

Outside the tent, three Xinghua soldiers picked up flare guns and fired them into the sky.

Whoa!

As soon as the signal to attack was given, the entire Xinghua army was thrown into battle.

Boom Boom Boom ......

The target had long been calibrated, the mortar battalion, and the battle was thrown into full force, and the shells were thrown into the positions and tents of the Xia army as if they did not need money. The sound of explosions shattered the Xia army.

Fifteen minutes later, the Xinghua soldiers of the submachine gun battalion took the lead and took the initiative to attack.

The soldiers of the rifle battalion, who followed, killed the past.

The soldiers of the Allied People's Army waited for an extra half an hour before attacking, and were responsible for clearing the enemy army and capturing the enemy's prisoners.

Two hours later, the Xia army, the Liangzhou army, and the Shu army were defeated.

Yi Xingchen was sitting in the palace study and received a telegram of the great victory of the Xinghua army. Yi Xingchen, who was in a good mood, decided to summon the hundred officials of Xinghua City and Xincheng to hold a banquet of the hundred officials to celebrate the victory, and by the way, to provide materials to the Propaganda Department of the empire to publicize the victory of the empire's foreign wars and promote the institutionalization process at home.

The Xinghua army led by Qin Zhengguo defeated the Xia army. Because the Liangzhou Army was the main attacking force and was in the forefront, the entire Liangzhou Army was almost wiped out, and Qiu Qianjun was even killed in battle. Only the Shu army broke up again and fled. Moreover, with the experience of the last time, the Shu army knew that the Xinghua army was not brutal and did not kill prisoners, and many soldiers of the Shu army who left the team directly took off their military uniforms and pretended to be ordinary people. Or, surrender directly to the Xinghua Army.

This time, Qin Zhengguo ordered the Xinghua army to pursue the enemy all the way, and did not stop advancing until he saw the wall of the Shu army.

In Shucheng, Zhang Guangwu learned from the mouth of the defeated army that the Liangzhou army and the Shu army were defeated, so he vomited blood directly and almost fainted. Zhang Guangwu quickly ordered the defenders in Shu to close the city gate and put the whole city on alert.

In a hurry, Zhang Guangwu couldn't do much.

After closing the city gate, Zhang Guangwu sent a herald to ride a fast horse out of Shucheng and then out of Jianguan in the north of Yunzhou to ask for help.

Then, Zhang Guangwu counted the defenders of Shucheng, and felt even more helpless in his heart. Of the Shu army that followed Qiu Qian's army, less than 5,000 people fled back. Coupled with the defenders in the city, the huge Shu City is not even enough for 10,000 defenders.

As a last resort, Zhang Guangwu issued an urgent conscription order to recruit the young men in Shucheng City to join the ranks of the defenders.

However, the Xinghua army pursued Shucheng all the way, and it was supposed to take Shucheng by surprise, and it did not give Zhang Guangwu time to recruit soldiers and organize soldiers.

Less than two hours after the gate of Shucheng was closed, the mortar battalion of the Xinghua Army arrived outside the city gate in the south of Shucheng.

Qin Zhengguo ordered the mortar battalion to aim its guns at the south gate of Shucheng.

There was nothing to encircle and lack one, and when the large force of the Xinghua army arrived, Qin Zhengguo issued an order for a general attack.

"Fire!"

Boom Boom Boom ......

On the city gate, the defenders of Shucheng were blown up by cannonballs and panicked.

In less than five minutes, there were no defenders standing at the gates.

Then, Qin Zhengguo ordered special bazooka soldiers to attack the city gate with bazookas.

Boom!

Three rockets in a row did not penetrate the gate of Shucheng.

Qin Zhengguo was surprised, he really didn't expect this to happen.

"Prepare high explosives, send death squads, and blow up the city gates. Qin Zhengguo gave an order.

After a while, three Xinghua soldiers, carrying explosives, rushed to the gate of the Shu army.

"Mortars, keep attacking, give them cover!" Qin Zhengguo said.

The defenders of Shucheng had just experienced the attack of mortar shells, and the rumbling in their ears had not stopped. The guards of Shucheng shouted loudly to the guards and went to the city wall to defend it to prevent the enemy from sneaking attack.

However, the defenders had just mustered up their courage, and they were again under mortar fire.

Boom......

The defenders of the Shu army lay down directly, and they didn't dare to look at the situation under the city.

The defenders didn't dare, and neither did the defenders, everyone wanted to wait for the end of the attack of the Xinghua army before going to the city wall to defend the city.

In the new round of shelling, the defenders of Shucheng did not dare to come forward, and the three Xinghua soldiers successfully delivered the explosives to the city gate and calmly arranged them.

After a while, the Xinghua soldiers, who had been arranged, dodged far away, and then pulled off the explosives.

There was a loud bang.

Qin Zhengguo prepared a large amount of explosives for the gate of Shucheng.

All of a sudden, the thick alloy gate at the gate of the city was blown down at once.

Qin Zhengguo used a telescope to see the entire city gate falling, and he was also shocked.

The city gate of Shu City was too hard, and the explosives did not blow it up, but blew up the city walls around the city gate, and the city gate fell directly to the ground. The gate of Shucheng opened.

Qin Zhengguo immediately ordered the Xinghua army to attack and advance and occupy Shucheng.

It was too sudden, and the defenders of Shucheng had no chance to react at all, and the city gate was broken.

The soldiers of the Xinghua Army rushed into the city, and when they encountered obstacles, they all cleaned up, and those who resisted did not leave anyone alive.

The city gate was broken, and the defenders saw that it was difficult to stop the Xinghua army, and the remaining defenders in the shelling could no longer care about anything, so they ran directly to the north gate.

With the help of the Intelligence Bureau, the Xinghua Army knew Shucheng well.

In this battle plan, there is a detailed action guide for attacking Shucheng.

Zhang Guangwu's general's mansion was the main target of the Xinghua army.

"General, the enemy army has broken through Shucheng, we can't stay any longer, we must leave Shucheng as soon as possible. "Zhang Guangwu's personal soldiers begged their general to leave Shucheng from the north gate as soon as possible.

However, Zhang Guangwu did not accept the advice of his own soldiers, he said: "Zhang Guangwu, I have received the emperor's grace and cannot be a deserter, please take my son and leave, and send him to his home in Zhongzhou." ”

The pro-soldiers also wanted to continue to persuade Zhang Guangwu, but Zhang Guangwu shook his head and handed over his seven-year-old son to the pro-soldiers.

The destruction of Shucheng means that the Xia court has lost the entire Yunzhou, and Zhang Guangwu, as the general of Yunzhou, cannot escape. If he escapes, the whole sin of defeat will fall on him, and his family will be affected by him. What Zhang Guangwu can do now is to let himself die in battle, so as to save the face of the family and seek benevolence. Only the ministers who know each other in the DPRK and China can have a reason to speak for him, and the court can bypass his family.

Zhang Guangwu's son, under the protection of more than a dozen personal soldiers, fled from the General's Mansion.

Because of Zhang Guangwu's spirit of seeing death as home, the General's Mansion became the place with the most fierce resistance in Shucheng City.

The Xinghua army paid the price of more than fifty soldiers before it broke through the General's Mansion.

Zhang Guangwu, the general of Yunzhou, would rather die than give in, and chose to die in battle.

Qin Zhengguo entered Shucheng and saw Zhang Guangwu's corpse, and was slightly stunned. He learned about Zhang Guangwu through the intelligence of the Xinghua Intelligence Bureau. Zhang Guangwu was a popular Xia general in Yunzhou, and he was also the leader of the Shu army. Without Zhang Guangwu, the Shu army would have existed in name only. The remaining remnants are not much of a threat.

In order to gain the hearts of the people, Qin Zhengguo decided to give Zhang Guangwu a higher courtesy. sent someone to customize a coffin for Zhang Guangwu and carefully collected his body.

The Xinghua army completely occupied Shucheng, and Qin Zhengguo imposed a curfew on the entire Shucheng. For three days, they were not allowed to leave their homes at night, nor could they go out on the streets at will, otherwise the Xinghua army had the right to shoot them.

The purpose of the curfew was to relieve the defensive pressure on the Xinghua Army. With the least number of troops, suppress Shucheng. Then, the Xinghua Army sent soldiers from the Second Brigade of the Eastern Expeditionary Corps, more than 3,000 soldiers, to occupy the northern gateway of Yunzhou, Jianguan.

The location of the Sword Pass is very important, it is the main passage from Yunzhou to the other state capitals of the Xia Kingdom, and it is also a smooth road. The reinforcements of the Xia Kingdom, through Yunzhou, were able to reach Shucheng in a very short time. If the Xinghua army occupied Jianguan, the army of Xia could only choose other places and enter Yunzhou.

Of course, Xia Jun can also enter Yunzhou from other places. However, all other roads are rough or densely forested. Those roads were not allowed to be driven, large siege engines could not be transported, and a lot of time was wasted on the march.

If the Xia army could not break through the Sword Pass, it would be difficult to capture Yunzhou.

As long as the Xinghua army occupies Jianguan, the Xinghua Empire will be able to obtain a relatively stable Yunzhou. Therefore, Qin Zhengguo did not stop the pace of attacking, and continued to send troops to attack Jianguan.

Before the defenders of Jianguan could react, he received the news of the defeat of the Xia army, followed by the enemy's attack on Shucheng, and then the news that Shucheng was breached, and his heart panicked all of a sudden. (To be continued.) )
