"Hurry, hurry. Slowly, the thieves will enter the city. ”

"You all run fast for me, don't grind with me, if you are slow, you will be engaged in military law."

"You, that's you. Run, don't think you're okay if you're lazy. It is no good for you to rebel against the thieves and enter the city, and when the time comes, your property will be robbed, and your wife and daughter will be humiliated. ”

Min Swe's Qing defenders, who were urgently dispatched from the major city gates, advanced one after another under the whipping and shouting of the battalion officers.

With that firework that exploded in the air, the battle in the entire Wuchang City officially began.

Different from the traditional siege of the city, Zhang Rui gave Wuchang City soldiers and horses on all sides. It's not that Zhang Rui doesn't understand the benefits of missing one of the three rounds, it's just that Zhang Rui wants to pacify Hubei faster.

With the attack of Hanyang Gate, the siege of the other city gates also launched a tentative attack at the same time.

At this time, the entire city wall of Wuchang City was thrown by the bandit army with flares (flammable pine resin, etc. in wooden frames). The perimeter of the walls was illuminated by a huge fire, as bright as day.

Due to the problems of ancient production technology, the nutrition of the ancients was unbalanced, so many people in the ancients had night blindness.

At this time, although there were nearly 50,000 green battalion soldiers stationed in Wuchang City, only more than 20,000 could defend and fight at night.

Compared with the night blindness caused by the monotonous military rations of the Qing army, the night blindness of the bandit army was much better.

One is that because the bandit army recruits people and eats a lot of omnivorous, night blindness is not so serious. The second is that Zhang Rui knows that the biggest problem of night blindness is the lack of vitamin A.

Generally, animal liver, carrots, cod liver oil, etc. can quickly cure night blindness caused by vitamin A deficiency.

As early as when he was in Zhilianshan, Zhang Rui knew that there was a problem of night blindness in the army.

In order to solve this problem, Zhang Rui carried out liver treatment for pigs, chickens and ducks in the farm in Zhilian Mountain as early as possible. At the same time, green, yellow and orange vegetables such as carrots are also planted to adjuvant treatment.

Not only that, but after the defeat of Guangdong. The bandit army forced the landing of the Guangdong Naval Division, and Zhang Rui ordered a large number of sea fish to be collected to refine the cod liver fish.

Under the multi-pronged prevention and treatment, although the bandit army at this time did not dare to say that there was no night blindness at all, but even if there were, there were not many.

The bandit army that tried to attack the surrounding city wall dragged down a lot of Qing troops defending the city, and at this time, the number of Qing troops that Min Rui could transfer to support Hanyang Gate was limited.

As soon as the bandit army arrived at Wuchang City for encirclement, in order to confuse the defenders of Wuchang City, Zhang Rui ordered the army to assemble and besiege the south gate.

Where did the defenders of Wuchang City think that when night fell, the main force of the bandit army outside the city quietly moved to the northwest near Hanyang Gate.

The night was dark.

The rain is constantly falling.

It's not big, but the drizzle flies densely.

At this time, a team of green battalion soldiers who were supporting Hanyangmen was holding torches and advancing amid the shouting and scolding of various team officers.

Wet and cold weather can always make people feel irritated, especially when walking in the cold and wet.

"Brother Xu, do you think this thief is really so murderous?" A green battalion soldier who was being sent to Hanyang Gate to support, after listening to the shouts of the Taoist team officers, quietly asked the person in front of him.

I saw that the person in front of the green battalion soldier didn't dare to look back, but quietly replied to him: "I don't know about the other anti-thieves, but this gang of anti-thieves don't have to worry." I heard from a relative of mine who went to business that their military discipline was very strict and they would not harass the people casually. ”

"So?" The green battalion soldier was a little puzzled by what the person in front of him said.

"Okay, don't say more. As soon as you see the opportunity, you will fight if you can, and surrender if you can't. I heard that this gang of thieves does not kill prisoners, and the prisoners are generally released after the war is over. Three leads, a little clever, don't give away your life for that little bit of silver. Xu Dongxing, who was known as Brother Xu, looked around cautiously again, and said in a low voice after feeling that there was no danger.

"Got it, Brother Xu." This Zhao Sanlian nodded in agreement, and also lowered his voice and answered him quietly.

"Okay, don't talk. Save yourself a whip. After Xu Dongxing found the team officer who was walking over, he hurriedly reminded him.

"Yes." Zhao Sanqian replied.

"Let's go, hurry..."

The sound of urging was heard again in the loose walking procession

………

"Kill..."

"The bandit army, there is no advance or retreat..."

Since the bandit army attacked the Hanyang Gate City in Wuchang, all kinds of shouts have been heard.

The city gate, which usually looks quite wide, seems to be so crowded at this time in the continuous influx of bandit troops.

"Bell, bell, bell..."

The sound of various weapons fighting constantly on the battlefield came.

"Ahh

"Oops..."

"Help..."

"Help me, is there anyone to save me..."

……

At this time, the people who heard all kinds of movements in the city closed their gates, and the gates were tightly strung with thick wooden skewers behind the doors, and they all added wood to the gates.

Not only that, but there are wise people who have also prepared silver taels to break their wealth and ward off disasters if necessary. At the same time, he also asked his daughters to wear tattered clothes as much as possible, smearing their faces.

In times of war, order is chaotic.

"The bandit army enters the city, and those who surrender will not die..."

All kinds of shouts and shouts of surrender were heard in the city

The Green Battalion of Hanyangmen, which Min Swee hastily transferred from other places to support, either fell to the ground and surrendered on their knees under the charge of the bandit army, while the rest threw away their torches and fled everywhere.

The battle was chaotic, and the bandit army did not care about capturing the prisoners, but wanted to occupy the entire city as quickly as possible.

night, gave both sides an inconvenience.

However, the bandit army, which had even higher morale, was almost crushed in a one-sided manner, and the green battalion soldiers who dared to resist were all hacked to death and slashed to the ground.

On the eve of dawn, it was very dark

The rain is especially cold under the cold wind.

One after another, the fire dragons composed of torches scattered around Wuchang City from the mouth of Hanyang Castle, and even if they encountered the same fire dragons, it was difficult to stop the scattered footsteps.

The bandit army that entered the city of Wuchang also dispersed its men and horses to attack the other city gates.

Attacking inside and outside, except for a few uninteresting generals who resisted, most of the defenders chose to surrender with interest.

After all, judging by the information they got. This gang of thieves is not as evil as those generals say, burning and looting everywhere. On the contrary, they are much more disciplined than themselves and others.

So, surrender such a centaur. As long as you don't commit any of them, you don't have to worry about being killed if you are captured.

After all, there are more people who surrender to them, and they are not inferior to themselves and others.

With the arrival of the bandit army attacking the other city gates, the besieged city gates were constantly opened.

The bandit army outside the city continued to pour into Wuchang City.

Dawn, after surviving the darkest and iciest night, heralded its coming through the misty eastern sky.
