Chapter 278: The Bloody Battle in Pingxiang (3)
The explosion of the cannonballs that flew from the side suddenly lifted up a pile of dirt and covered the bodies of the people lying on their stomachs. Those who were close were even buried alive in the earth. There were also some soldiers who were stoned to death because the red-coated cannon that had been blown away by the shells fell on them. This red-clothed cannon is huge, and its whole body is cast in bronze, not only is it not small in power, but also in weight, and it is very casual to smash a few soldiers to death.
In the middle of the sound, everyone got up from the ground, and all of them shook the dirt on their bodies in unison, and many people's faces became gray, which immediately made the people next to them laugh.
"Prince, prince!" Several guards hurriedly pulled up Prince Haoge, who was protected by everyone, only to see that Haoge's face was red and his lips were purple. When everyone saw it, they immediately panicked. A personal guard carefully put his finger on Haoge's nostrils, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said, "The prince still has breath, but it is very weak." ”
It turned out that this Hauge was pressed under him by everyone, resulting in a lack of air, because there were more people, Hauge couldn't get up if he wanted to, and his head was just against the ground, and on the battlefield where the artillery roared, others couldn't hear him at all. As a result, he almost suffocated due to lack of oxygen, but fortunately, everyone found it early, otherwise this Haoge would have become the first prince in history to be suffocated by his own guards.
Hauge still breathes, but it's faint. His eyes were only closed, and he didn't have any strength at all. Unconscious. At this time, the Ao Bai, who had been shouted by Hauge for a long time, hurriedly ran over. I saw that his whole body was also blown up and in tatters, and the dirt was covered in mud. Seeing that Haoge was unconscious and was carried by several guards, he hurriedly asked eagerly: "What's wrong with the prince, what's wrong with the prince?" Ao Bai hurriedly anxious, if something happened to Hauge, it was estimated that he would not be able to live well.
A guard looked at Ao Bai timidly, and said, "Just now, just now-" Then the guard avoided the weight and gave Ao Bai a word, and when he heard that Hauge's life was not in danger, Ao Bai also breathed a heavy sigh of relief in his heart. However, now Hauge is obviously no longer able to command the army, so Ao Bai became the temporary commander of the general.
"Pass the order, immediately gather troops, if you find that you dare to escape, you will be killed! Not only that, but if there are relatives and children in the family, the nine clans will also be exterminated! ”
"Quickly carry the prince to a safe place and take care of it!" The so-called safe zone is the dug under-the-belt bomb shelter. This is probably the world's first bomb shelter.
As soon as Ao Bai took office, he immediately issued such a harsh military order, which immediately restrained many soldiers who wanted to escape. Slowly, the forces began to gather. And the cannons on the Pingxiang City Tower, because they have already fired several shells, need to be cold for a while at this time, and they can't fire again.
The battlefield finally calmed down temporarily, and there was no artillery fire, and the miserable ** sound became the main theme on the battlefield. Zhang Yuan and Li Wen escaped the catastrophe because they had just discovered it early, and after a while. Hurriedly took several guards and returned to the top of the city tower to treat the wounded soldiers.
"This Hauge has some skills. Don't underestimate it! Zhang Yuan frowned, looking at the attic above the bombed city tower, there were several wounded soldiers, and a warrior who was killed, and sighed in his heart.
And Li Wen was still holding a telescope and constantly observing the situation of the enemy army, and suddenly he realized that the situation was not right, because the command personnel of the enemy army had changed. Moreover, the forces began to gradually gather, and I thought that this bombing would definitely cause a large number of deserters to the Qing army, but now it seems that it has not happened.
"General Zhang, no, instead of a large number of routs, the enemy forces have gathered. And the command and general of the enemy army have also changed, this person-" Li Wen has not seen Aobai, so naturally he doesn't know it, but he can see clearly that this person is definitely not Haoge, as for where Haoge is, Li Wen didn't find it after looking around.
Zhang Yuan immediately wrinkled his brows and asked, "What's wrong?" Substitution? Take it for me to see. With that, Zhang Yuan took the telescope in Li Wen's hand into his hand and looked at the enemy.
At this time, Ao Bai only cared about gathering his forces and did not attack. The thick smoke on the battlefield gradually dissipated, and the ground was really full of stumps, hell on earth.
"Bow down!" Zhang Yuan naturally knew Aobai, and he had dealt with Aobai before.
"Where did Hauge go?"
Zhang Yuan couldn't help asking.
Li Wen frowned and said: "Now it seems that the commander of this enemy battlefield has been changed from Haoge to Aobai, which means that Haoge must have suffered danger, otherwise Aobai would not have been able to replace Haoge in commanding the army." ”
Zhang Yuan nodded and said: "What the military advisor said is reasonable, could it be that in the previous rounds of attacks, that Haoge was blown up?" Although Li Wen didn't know what happened to Haoge now, he was also sure that Haoge was definitely not dead, so he shook his head and said: "General, you see, the Qing army on this battlefield did not show high morale, and Na Ao Bai did not look angry. ”
Zhang Yuan listened to it and agreed: "What the military advisor said is reasonable, it's a pity, it's a pity that Hauge was not blown up, if you want to blow him up, I'm afraid it's a little difficult." However, this worship should not be underestimated, the Qing army, which was already chaotic and demoralized, was in his hands, but now instead of being defeated and scattered, it has regrouped, which is really not to be underestimated. ”
Li Wen stroked his beard and said, "Next, it's up to the general." ”
——————
When Liu Xia heard a burst of artillery from the direction of Pingxiang, he began to gather his troops out of the city and advance towards Pingxiang.
"Publicity!"
Liu Xia shouted at Zhang Yang, who was about to start fighting at this time. When Zhang Yang heard this, he immediately stepped forward and said solemnly: "The end will be!" ”
Liu Xia said solemnly: "Order you to be the vanguard general, lead Feng Xiangwei, and attack immediately!" "Feng Xiangwei is a fully armed cavalryman, and he has a lot of combat experience, which is why Liu Xia chose Zhang Yang as the vanguard general.
After hearing this, Zhang Yang's face suddenly couldn't stop being excited, and he immediately hugged his fists and said: "Subordinate, take the order, and you will definitely live up to the general's expectations!" ”
Liu Xia nodded and said to Zhang Yang: "Be careful." After that, Zhang Yang nodded heavily, and hurriedly walked down, but for a moment, he only heard the neighing of war horses outside, and knew that Zhang Yang had led Feng Xiangwei to attack.
After Zhang Yang walked for a while, Liu Xia said again: "Niu Dynasty, Shouhu, Shoubiao!" Let's go along! After that, Liu Xia rode the war horse led by the guards, and then the other generals also rode their war horses, and then followed Liu Xia out of the city, and the army of tens of thousands behind him also followed closely.
Drive! Drive!
The strength of the Pingbei Army is the second generation of Suipinglu guns, but they also carry a cold weapon, or a broadsword, or a long sword, or a spear and long hair. The sound of horses' hooves resounded through the field.
Ji Ze is not far from Pingxiang, and soon the vanguard general Zhang Yang has led the soldiers and horses to the south gate of Pingxiang.
Julu City is located in the north of Pingxiang, and Jize is located in the south of Pingxiang, so the Qing army is at the north gate of Pingxiang at this time, and there is no enemy army at the south gate. Zhang Yang hit the tall yellow dragon flag with a black background, the flag floated in the wind, and the yellow dragon in the flag was lifelike, as if flying in the sky.
The sky was still overcast, and the cold wind was swishing.
Drive! Drive!
"Let's enter the city, go directly to Pingxiang City, and go to see what the enemy army looks like!" As soon as Zhang Yang gave an order, he bypassed the Pingxiang city and rushed towards the north city gate. The soldiers above Pingxiang City couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw the five thousand soldiers and horses coming and found that they were their own people.
Many of the soldiers shouted 'Reinforcements are coming'.
Soon Zhang Yang arrived at the north gate of the city of Naping Township, and the tragic scene of the battlefield shocked Zhang Yang, Zhang Yang had never seen such a miserable battle. In the past, he used cold weapons to fight against the Mongol Tatars, but this time it was artillery fire, which had a greater destructive ability. Chapter 278: The Bloody Battle in Pingxiang (3)
