Chapter 530: The moon is dark and the wind is high, killing people and setting fire to the sky
Li Dingguo finally gave the order.
The Ming soldiers jumped into the tunnel without hesitation and walked forward in an orderly manner.
They don't move fast, but they are solid.
Since you have a torch in your hand, you don't have to worry too much about your feet.
This tunnel was dug for more than ten days, and although the space inside it was not too wide, it was enough.
Now that the frontal battle is in full swing, it is the best time for them to infiltrate the city.
Of course, due to the limitation of the width of the tunnel, it was impossible to transport all the soldiers into Hanzhong City at the first time.
Therefore, the combat effectiveness of the first batch of soldiers who entered Hanzhong City was particularly crucial.
Li Dingguo did not hesitate to transfer his own pro-military battalion out to take the lead.
This is the most ferocious existence in this army, and it will definitely be able to stabilize the situation at the first time and create enough opportunities for the future robes.
Li Dingguo has already summed it up, and at this moment, the attention of the Tartars is on the city, and there is no time to be distracted.
Even if a few Tartars noticed something unusual, it would not help.
His own battalion will surely be able to tear these unscrupulous tartars to shreds.
Zeng Ying and Li Dingguo are bright and dark, moving and quiet, but they cooperate very skillfully.
And at this moment, Shang Kexi is already busy.
He mobilized his descendants to fight fires and repair holes. But it seems that everywhere there is a risk of being broken by the Ming army.
This Ming army doesn't seem to know what danger is, and they are all fearless of death.
Although the city of Hanzhong has sufficient troops, it is a little stretched when it is divided into four city walls.
After Yuan Zongdi and Tian Jianxiu arrived, the Ming army even outnumbered the Qing army, and they had a lot more confidence to fight.
Shang Kexi now wonders why his reinforcements haven't arrived yet?
After some calculation, the reinforcements sent by Azig should have arrived.
What a damn one!
Although Shang Kexi scolded the eighteenth generation of Azig's ancestors in his heart, he still had to hold on to it now.
There is no way, if he surrenders at the beginning, maybe the Ming army will still open up to him.
By now, both sides have already killed red eyes, and most of the generals of the Ming army will not accept him even if he surrenders.
He didn't know how long he could hold out, but he knew that the Ming army must have reached a bottleneck.
The two sides are now fighting in one breath. Whoever is angry is the winner.
"Give Lao Tzu more strength, don't want to move your head and block Minggou outside the city!"
Shang Ke roared hoarsely.
...
...
One, two, three...
From the exit of the tunnel, one Ming soldier after another crawled out.
The exit happens to be in an abandoned temple, so it is not easy to find.
The Ming soldiers tried not to make a sound, so as not to be discovered by the Tartar soldiers patrolling the city.
When they came out with about 500 people, they immediately lined up according to the previous plan.
Due to the relatively narrow space in the tunnel, they did not carry too many bulky weapons, but each person had a simple knife.
It's not to be taken lightly, but it's very useful in street fighting.
Since the length of the Pu knife is longer than that of the tiger tooth knife used by the Tartars, it can achieve a good suppression effect when fighting in close combat.
These soldiers are the most well-trained veterans under Li Dingguo's command, and their ability to fight individually or in a team is one and the same.
They knew exactly what their task was, and to create chaos and take the opportunity to open the gates was their next step.
And the best way to create chaos is to set it on fire.
So they decided to put on a fire.
The moon is dark and the wind is high, and the day of murder and arson.
...
...
"It's on fire, it's on fire!"
A Qing soldier shouted.
The Qing soldiers above the city turned their heads to look.
Sure enough, a fire broke out in the north-central part of Hanzhong City.
The fire was so bright that it reflected the night like day.
This can be described as an aggravation of the situation for the Qing army.
Originally, they were a little weak to deal with the Ming army, but now there is a fire in the city, isn't this adding to the chaos?
"Hurry up and report to the prince!"
The prince in their mouths is naturally still happy.
The more panicked you are, the more someone has to stand up and be the backbone of this work. There is no doubt that Shang Kexi is the only suitable candidate.
It's a pity that Shang Kexi is not an iron man, and he almost fainted after hearing the news.
What's going on? Can't even God get along with him?
Shang Kexi really wanted to scold God with his throat, but his voice was hoarse and he really couldn't shout.
"What are you doing in a daze, go put out the fire!"
Although Shang Kexi didn't want to divide his troops to fight the fire at this time, he still had to do it.
Because if he didn't put out the fire, Hanzhong City would be burned to the ground overnight.
In that case, even if he defended Hanzhong City, what was the point?
Fortunately, the current situation has not reached the point of no return, and the fire can still be extinguished if it is put out in time.
The Qing soldiers followed suit.
But when they rushed to the place where the fire was set on fire with buckets, they were dumbfounded, because the Ming soldiers in armor rushed towards them.
And at this moment, the Qing soldiers who put out the fire were unarmed. How can this be fought?
Run!
After thinking about it, the Qing soldiers immediately spread their girls and ran wildly.
But where would Li Dingguo's subordinates give them a chance to escape, they immediately raised their knives to chase them.
One side is running, the other side is chasing.
But apparently he didn't run as fast as he chased.
After the Ming soldiers caught up, they immediately swung their knives and slashed at the back of the Tartar.
These tartars were basically unarmoured, and the long knife immediately opened a bloody wound.
This was originally a tactic that the Tartars were very familiar with, as the Ming army was often the fleeing side when faced with them.
Before the battle was fought, the Ming soldiers fled.
All they had to do was catch up with the casual wielding of the Tiger Tooth Knife.
Unexpectedly, the situation of the two sides was reversed today, and the Ming army became the pursuing party.
In a scream, more and more Tartar soldiers fell in pools of blood.
The Ming soldiers had no intention of stopping, they would not return a Tartar to the letter.
They do not accept pleas for mercy, much less surrender.
General Li Dingguo had already given a death order before, and opened the city gates of Hanzhong at all costs.
So these tartars must die.
It wasn't until they beheaded the last Tartar soldier who knelt down and begged for mercy that they had a little respite.
But they didn't stay long, because what happened next was more important.
They scattered and shouted all over the city: "The Ming army has broken the city, and the Tartar soldiers have been defeated." ”
When the people in Hanzhong City heard these shouts, they thought that the Ming army had really invaded the city, so they rushed out to check it out.
For a time, Hanzhong City was in chaos.
Curfews no longer exist, martial law is a joke.
Shang Kexi was happy to vomit blood when he saw this.
The soldiers of the Ming army took advantage of this excellent opportunity to rush to the city gates, preparing to start the plan to seize the gates.
