Chapter 60 Rank Manchu Returns to Xianyang-13
"The whole city is on alert!" Tong Yunjie ordered without thinking. According to the military order, after the whole city is on guard, in order to prevent spies from causing chaos, all the city gates will be closed, the roads leading to the city will be blocked, and even the scouts who are warning cannot enter the city.
There were also two ditches and low walls built on the periphery of the city, and in the direction of the western interior, there happened to be more than a dozen carts carrying grain and grass parked between the two ditches. Just when the defenders were inspecting the grain cart, fine beads of sweat appeared on the sideburns of the escort officer, and while looking at the ten-division commander in front of him, he said with a smile on his face: "It's better to camp with firearms, stationed in this city, no need to be exposed to wind and rain, and the military salary that my brother gets in hand is probably more than that of an ordinary centurion." ”
Zhang Wei "hum-" and didn't answer, just glanced at him, and carefully checked the waist card. Since the escape from Liaoyang City, the garrison fire battalion has been greatly reduced, and a group of new soldiers have been replenished from the rear. In the past, he was still a little afraid when he saw the officer, but now he has just become the commander of the ten, and the officer is almost in front of him, and Zhang Wei has a feeling that once he has the power in his hands, he will give the order to do it. The spring breeze was proud, and before he knew it, he also picked up the shelf, squinted his eyes and looked left and right at the waist card of the grain transport officer, and bent his index finger to tap a few times to listen to the sound, which was like a treasure.
Seeing his appearance, Fan Hong, the grain officer, scolded secretly in his heart: "The villain has a will!" "He was originally the second master of a cottage, and he was also one of Han Guo's henchmen, if it wasn't for the internal and external efforts to capture the city, how could he be so bent to meet a small ten-master. The appointed time was about to come, Fan Hong scratched his heart like a cat, but he grinned and said: "The old brothers have a good military salary, but they don't often come to the dock to play money and drink. ”
Zhang Wei glanced at him with disdain, and said solemnly: "After the Liao dog is defeated, Lao Tzu will still buy land and farm." ”
Fan Hong was stunned, since he became the second master of the cottage and followed Mr. Han Da, he never thought of going back to farming, killing people and setting fire to the gold belt. It turned out to be a fool, and he forced a smile, "Farming," and then asked, "And then?" ”
Zhang Wei once again despised this thief-eyed guy, and snorted: "Of course it's to marry a daughter-in-law and have a baby." He saw Fan Hong's eyes widen, it seemed to be a second son, and added: "The doll has grown up, let him farm again, he will buy a field to marry a daughter-in-law and have a baby, my old Zhang family ......" He was speechless for a while, and he didn't think clearly about what "my old Zhang family" should do, and suddenly heard the rapid drum beat of "Bang Bang Bang", and looked back to see that wolf smoke was lighting on the head of Nanshan City.
Fan Hong's heart tightened, at this time, there was still more than half an hour before the Liao army attacked the city, but he didn't know what went wrong, Nanshan City was actually on alert. According to the military order, after the whole city is on guard, no one can enter the city without permission, and his people are stuck between the two trenches, which is a vague area, although they have not entered the city, but it is also the scope of the defense of Nanshan City. Whether or not you can enter the city according to the plan depends on whether the fool in front of him will let him go. The smile on Fan Hong's face was about to overflow, and he said in his mouth: "Brother, let us in." ”
Zhang Wei straightened his face, turned around and pointed to the head of the city and said, "The drums are beating, quickly withdraw, withdraw." As he spoke, he pushed Fan Hong and the others outside, and as soon as they got out of the trench, the drawbridge would also be raised. In this short moment, Fan Hong calculated in his heart that if he withdrew and failed to capture the city, Mr. Han Da would definitely blame, but just like this, the certainty of success was really not great. He is a person who takes gains and losses very seriously, although it has only been a few moments, his mind is turning over and over again, and he is hesitating, but he feels that he has been pushed hard, his body shook, and he almost couldn't stand, Fan Hong raised his head angrily, but saw that the ten-man long toe said arrogantly: "What are you rubbing, next time early!" Get out, get out! ”
"Grandma," Fan Hong is a man from a reckless background, and it is not that he has bowed his head to others, but he can shout to a fool-like guy, and suddenly a wave of evil is born to the side of his guts, "Out of your mother." When it was too late, Xue Liang's short knife was instantly withdrawn, and Fan Hong shouted while making the short knife pierce the waist of the ten-man commander: "Do it!" The 100 Han soldiers who were transporting grain drew their horizontal knives and killed the defenders in front of them. They crowded in front of the drawbridge in the second trench, and they only had to fight forward less than twenty steps before they could rush into the gates of Nanshan Castle.
"Ugh!" Zhang Wei didn't expect this person to do what he said, but fortunately he dodged quickly, and a big bloody hole was cut in his waist by a short knife, and he almost pierced his waist, "Bastard," he staggered back a step, ignoring the blood surging in his waist, picked up the gun and stabbed towards Fan Hong, "Lao Tzu fought with you!" "The more than twenty firefighters guarding the suspension bridge were cut down seven or eight on the spot, and the remaining three people in groups of three desperately resisted using the narrow terrain. It was originally difficult for more than a dozen firecrackers to resist more than 100 people, not to mention, more than 100 Liao troops should all have a lot of kung fu, usually Mr. Han spent a lot of money to support them, and painstakingly placed them in Suzhou Guannan, so they would be used for a while. Three times and two times, except for Zhang Wei and the other five or six people who resisted back to back, the other firecrackers all fell in a pool of blood. The city gate just a few steps away had not yet been closed, and the Han army had already bypassed the musketeers and rushed directly to the city gate, where there were only a few musketeers who had not had time to retreat into the city. All this came too suddenly, and the Han troops at the head of the city looked down in amazement.
At this moment, someone on the horse's face one hundred and fifty paces away suddenly said coldly: "Fire!" ”
A few moments later, several Liao soldiers were about to rush into the city, and the firecracker raised his spear with a pale face, and at this moment, there was a sudden "boom", which was deafening.
Before Fan Hong could react, countless bullets swept over from the side, penetrating the thin leather armor, and he didn't snort coldly, and fell face to the ground. The artillery was fired with shotguns, and almost all the people near the city gate, the Liao army Neiying, who had just rushed to the city gate, and the few firecrackers who were holding on near the city gate, all fell in this round of violent bullet rain.
The Liao army behind should not understand what was going on, the cannon sound sounded again, this time, the coverage of the shotgun was almost all over the distance from the inside of the second trench to the city gate, and everywhere there were iron bullets flying with the sound of sneering wind. Rao is Zhang Wei saw the opportunity very quickly, and immediately after the first cannon sounded, he fell to the ground, and was also hit by two or three bullets, and his back, thighs, and buttocks were all hot and painful. He had only been out of the wounded barracks for a few days, and even if he picked up a life, he would have to go in again.
"Your mother," Zhang Wei carefully hid under Nei Ying's corpse, glanced in the direction of the cannon, and scolded viciously, "Zhou Yu, it's too unrighteous for Lao Tzu to call you a big brother, it's too unrighteous, bastard, I'll join your mother." He scolded as he looked around, and many of the Liao soldiers who had fallen were covered in blood. The artillery positions at the head of the city have been calibrated countless times, and these few shotguns bombarded down, and most of the heroes and masters of the rivers and lakes who were just as fierce and vicious as they were now lying on the ground, their hands and feet were still convulsed, and a few were not seriously injured, and they were lying on the ground with a pale face, not daring to move again, and some were still vomiting.
On the horse face at the head of the city, Zhou Yu observed the results through the smoke of gunpowder. The gunners below looked in awe at the man who dared to give the order to fire at his comrades. His face was expressionless, and after a while, Fang frowned and said in a low voice, "Why hasn't anyone gone out to clean up inside the city gate?" As soon as the words fell, I saw a group of about 50 people lined up in a horizontal line, cautiously out of the city gate, searching for the robes that were still alive on the battlefield, and along the way met the Liao army lying on the ground. In a short time, the part of the city gate was cleared.
After a stick of incense, the cavalry of the Liao army, who heard the roar of cannons and felt that something was wrong, appeared in the east of Nanshan City. Seeing the overwhelming smoke and dust, Tong Yunjie secretly screamed in his heart that he was lucky. Since Neiying failed to succeed, the Liao cavalry no longer hidden, and came out of the belly of the Evil Tiger Mountain in a big way, and camped in the northeast of Nanshan City. The 100,000 Liao army, carrying countless war horses, as well as all kinds of siege equipment, grain and grass, set up camp tents to be almost endless, almost filling the land between the two seas, which is shocking. In contrast, the short and small Nanshan Castle is like a small boat in the sea, which may be swallowed up by the monstrous waves at any time. This is also the reason why the Liao army is not in a hurry to attack the city.
Since the defeat of the main force of the Jin State, the morale of the Liao army has been greatly boosted, and after the 100,000 troops from Shangjing Road arrived at the camp of the Northern Expedition, Yelu Dashi considered that there was no need for so many troops to besiege Liaoyang, so he assigned Yelu Yanshan and Guo Baoyi to lead an army of 100,000 to attack Suzhou, which is also the meaning of the lion fighting the rabbit with all his strength, he expected that after the remnants of the Jin army in Liaoyang were swept away, Suzhou Guannan had already been captured, and by then the Liao army would have no worries, and the army could take advantage of the situation to march north, even if it was to chase the Yazi River of the Tongtong River, the poor Beihai, It is also necessary to eradicate these rebellions in Liaodong, whether they are Han or Jurchen, and kill them all, leaving no one behind.
On the east and west sides of Nanshan Castle, there are three gunboats of the Xia Kingdom. Li Sihai was standing in the battle of one of the gunboats, holding a clairvoyant mirror in both hands to see the Liao army camped in the northeast of Nanshan City. Some of the Liao army's camps were very close to the coast, and judging from the scale marked in the field of vision of the clairvoyant, it seemed that they were already within the range of the naval division's bombardment. At this time, although the weather is cooler, the sea water has not yet frozen, and the sea water on the east and west sides of Suzhou is not shallow, and the gunboats can sail to a place very close to the shore to fire their guns.
Li Sihai shouted loudly from Diao Dou to the deck: "Raise the sails, drive over, and shoot the shelling according to the place where the Liao people have many horses!" He raised the clairvoyant mirror again, frowned at the busy soldiers and horses of the Liao State, and muttered: "His grandmother's, camped by the sea, have you asked Ben to agree?" ”
