Chapter 242: Conquering Tongling
You Shiyi is not unaware that the bandit army is coming. It's just that since ancient times, it is often said that wealth and wealth are sought in danger, and You Shiyi thinks that if he doesn't fight, how do you know if you will have the opportunity to become a generation of famous generals and be famous for eternity?
Besides, Fu Heng had an agreement with him that as long as he could hold out for about ten days, there would be reinforcements. When the siege of Tongling was lifted, Fu Hengbao ensured that he would enter the banner and be promoted to three levels. Fu Heng's promise made You Shiyi ecstatic.
The "meat" is so tempting that no matter how great the danger is, it is not worth mentioning, even if it is a mantis arm blocking the car.
"Kill..."
"On... Hurry up, attack it..."
In the chaotic shouts, ladders have been erected on the city walls of Tongling County, and the siege of the city is constantly swarming.
"Quick, get out and defend the city... Throwing stones, throwing wood... Golden juice... Is the gold juice ready?" there was also a rapid shout on the Tongling city wall.
“… Bang..."
The siege tower of the bandit army is constantly approaching the city wall with the pace of the siege men, and the muskets on the siege tower are constantly taking turns to provide the final cover for the besiegers.
“… Shout... Phew..."
Approaching the bottom of the wall, the archers of the bandit army also kept shooting arrows into the gap in the wall.
"Kill..."
The first siege green battalion soldier to raise his shield to the recesses of the wall shouted and jumped into the wall road. After jumping into the city wall, I found that there were many defenders on the wall, but most of them were lying in a pool of blood or covering their wounds and howling.
As the second besieging Green Battalion jumped into the city walls, the gunfire of the bandit army stopped, and the archers under the walls also stopped shooting arrows so as not to injure their own men and horses.
The muskets and archers of the bandit army have already made great efforts, and the rest is to see the ability of the green battalion soldiers who are besieging the city. If this can't defeat the defenders, then the siege troops will not be able to complain about suppressing the bandits.
As soon as the battle began, the Qing defenders were baptized by the fierce artillery fire of the bandit army, and there were countless casualties. It wasn't until the men and horses besieging the city climbed into the city wall that they dared to kick up the city wall for hand-to-hand combat, and it was no wonder that the morale of the Qing army was good.
The thieves were able to climb the walls so easily, but there was nothing they could do about them. If you want a cannon without a cannon, if you want a rocket without a rocket, if you can't shoot someone with a bow and arrow, even if you can stop this wave of siege people?
Now the entire Tongling City is surrounded by bandit legions, even if this wave of anti-thieves can be blocked, the anti-thieves behind are also coming up one after another.
The generals defending the city also said that as long as they blocked the thieves for half a month, they were attacked so fiercely in less than an hour after the battle, how could they defend the city and resist?
Unlike the Qing soldiers defending the city, the surrendered troops who were besieging the city at this time were extremely excited, and their morale was unprecedentedly high.
They were still helpless before, ready to die bravely, but they didn't want to attack the city wall so easily, which is completely different from what they imagined!
More and more siege troops climbed the walls, but the defenders who resisted became fewer and fewer.
"Those who descend will not die, and those who descend will not be killed..."
Many of the soldiers who attacked the city wall were shouting in an authentic Anhui dialect. Regardless of whether this shouting is useful or not, there is nothing better than fighting without your life.
"You are not a skinny monkey in Guangdong, but also a fellow of our Anhui countrymen?" The Qing soldiers who were defending the city were a little incredulous, looking at the siege soldiers with swords and asking.
"You're stupid! Where I am in Guangdong. I am from Chizhou. Looking at his siege troops, he replied disdainfully: "If you don't surrender, if you don't surrender, Lao Tzu's knife won't be polite to you." ”
"Down, down... Fellow, is it really surrendering and not killing? The defender asked.
"What are you lying about, surrender and don't kill, Lao Tzu didn't also surrender. I kid you not. Not only will you not kill, but you will also receive money. But if you dare to resist, don't blame Lao Tzu for not recognizing you as a fellow. The siege soldier roared haughtily.
"This? Be... Yes, I'll surrender now...", the defender didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and directly threw down his sword and knelt on the ground to surrender.
Whether it is the good situation in front of him or the loud drums behind him, the morale of the soldiers who are besieging the city is like a rainbow, crushing the past like a flood of beasts. In addition to a few professional green battalion soldiers in the Qing army defending the city, most of the rest belonged to the village bravery.
The bombardment of the city had already destroyed the courage of these improvised villagers, and most of the remaining people were only thinking about how to save their lives, and a few stubborn people were harmless to the overall situation.
The battle situation is clear, either surrender or perish.
The bandit army attacked Tongling City so quickly, so that You Shiyi instantly understood what it meant to block the car. He also understood why Fu Heng dared to promise him that as long as he completed the task, he would be promoted to the third level.
Not to mention that the official was promoted to the third level, it was useless to tell him that he was directly promoted to the general soldier, because he couldn't do this task at all. Now let alone ten days, even half a day will not be able to resist the power of this anti-thief army.
All of a sudden, You Shiyi remembered. Fu Heng fled here only after being defeated in a battle with the anti-thieves with more than 100,000 troops. He promised himself that this great benefit was just to let himself stop the pace of the thief.
I believe that even Fu Heng didn't think that he could resist the attack of the anti-thief, but he was still stupidly fantasizing about his ability.
As the battle progressed, Wang Zhuang and others, who were still clamoring to kill one by one and kill two by two, also surrendered with You Shiyi after being surrounded by the soldiers who were besieging the city.
It wasn't until Wang Zhuang surrendered that he realized how stupid his previous clamor was. The bandit army didn't make a move, but the troops that drove him down were enough to destroy him a few times.
Anhui, Chizhou, headquarters of the Bandit Army.
At this time, many small red, red, green and green flags were planted on the huge sand table of the General Staff Headquarters.
At this moment, the small red flag representing Tongling City was like the deduction of the staff officers of the bandit army on the sand table, and easily pulled out the blocking flag. The next goal is to follow the Yangtze River waterway and look at Wuhu. Next, the waterway was swept and the troops came to Nanjing.
Nanjing, one of the two capitals.
Since the end of the Ming Dynasty, in the Han regime, only Zhu Chenggong, the national surname of Zhu Ming, had the prestige of soldiers coming to Nanjing. Unfortunately, he was defeated in the end.
Now, a hundred years. Whether Nanjing can return to the hands of the Han people again depends only on the suppression of the bandit army.
The whole world looks at each other, as long as the bandit army can take Nanjing City and gain a firm foothold. Then the people of the world will definitely rush to vote first, and the bandit army will officially have the capital to compete in the world.
"Newspaper... Sixth brother, there is an emergency military situation in Fujian. "Outside the barracks of the General Staff, there was a loud voice.
