Chapter 105: Crushing

"It can't go on like this!" Wang Jiayin frowned and said: "In just eight days, our army has lost more than 40,000 people, if we continue to let the Ming army do this, then our army will not say that it will stick to Xi'an City, and whether it can survive or not, it will be two to say." ”

In a closed environment, Wang Jiayin, Wang Ziyong, Gao Yingxiang, and Chongguangdao gathered together.

Although it is said that the soldiers and horses under the command of the four of them have not suffered any substantial losses during this siege, especially the soldiers of the old battalion under their respective commands.

However, because of the other rogue leaders, in this siege, the soldiers under their command suffered serious losses, which also made the morale of the rogue army in Xi'an City have changed greatly.

And because the oppression during this period was too strong, it also caused a lot of riots among the people in the city, and many of them were ghosts lurking in the city.

Scorched!

For Wang Jiayin and them, this is really too much anxiety.

Wang Ziyong said with a bit of firmness in his expression: "Big Chief, since the current situation is already very unfavorable for our army, then our army will have to think about how to escape from Xi'an City, and in the process of escaping, it can make the Ming army suffer unbearable losses."

Let them not be able to catch up with our army in a short period of time, so that our army will go to Huayin, snatch a period of precious time, and lay a solid foundation for the subsequent stationing in Shanxi. ”

Although it is said that at this point in time, it is a very demoralizing existence to tell such a thing.

But judging from the situation in front of them, if Wang Jiayin and the others had not prepared earlier, I am afraid that they would all have confessed to this giant city.

If they were captured by Zhao Zongwu, just the powerful officials who were killed by them were enough for them to be cut by a thousand knives.

No one wants to die, so it's better to live......

"Grandpa Guo! Now it's time for a general offensive! Mao Wenlong pointed to the clearly marked Xi'an city defense, and said with a stern expression: "According to the current situation, if our army can launch an attack from the west, north, and south of the city this time, the east city will be left alone for the liukou."

Then it will inevitably be because the offensive of the other three cities is too serious, and then the army of Liukou will flee towards the east city, once such a general trend is formed, our army will recover Xi'an City just around the corner! ”

Zhao Zongwu nodded and said: "Although our army lost a lot of high-consumption firearms such as shells and gunpowder in this battle, through the battle in the past eight days, the rogues who were stuck in Xi'an City suffered very serious losses of men and horses, and our army only lost more than 100 people during this time.

This is definitely a pioneering feat for attacking the giant city, using the money of death to exchange for a living life, and they are all precious elite people, this transaction is not a loss for us!

Of course, because of such a special battle, the firearms reserves carried by our army this time were exhausted, so in the next attack, as well as the capture of Xi'an City, and the remnants of the Liukou chose to lead the troops to break through, our army needs to consider more in this regard. ”

According to Zhao Zongwu's meaning, it fully laid out a central idea, since it is said that in the eight days of attacking Xi'an City, the strategy of light firearms and heavy soldiers has been established, then in the next general attack, as well as the follow-up pursuit of the remnants of the Liukou, we must also put the soldiers first, and we must not let them suffer too heavy losses, otherwise everything we did before is meaningless.

Chen Qiyu nodded and said: "According to the plan formulated by the General Staff Department, although this battle will allow a large number of rogues to flee from Xi'an City, for our army, it can recover Xi'an City at the smallest cost, and at the same time break the confidence of the rogue army."

As long as the city of Xi'an can be taken, then half of the riots in Shaanxi will be quelled, and this place in Shaanxi is too important, and our army must not let it suffer too heavy a shock. ”

Zhao Zongwu and Chen Qiyu's successive narrations also made the generals understand in their hearts that the capture of Xi'an City is the goal we must achieve, but in this process, if it is said that because of the lack of soldiers and horses, some of the rogue army escaped from Xi'an City, this is all within the allowable range, and the elite soldiers under his command cannot be allowed to die on the senseless encirclement!

Hong Chengchou was a little puzzled in his heart, but as far as the overall situation was concerned, he still knew in his heart that the soldiers who came to recruit this time were all first-class elite soldiers.

Rather than let them die in such a siege battle, it is better to let some of the rogues have hope to escape, so that they can be annihilated in one fell swoop by encircling and intercepting these rogue armies in the wilderness!

But in this process, there are too many variables that will appear, in case it is said that these rogues who break through the encirclement will eventually escape to other realms.

Especially when the soldiers and horses are still in the empty Shanxi territory, it will have a great impact on Shanxi, so he can only pray secretly in his heart, praying that the situations he thinks of in his heart will not appear.

But what Hong Chengchou didn't know was that the situations he thought of were actually what Zhao Zongwu wanted to see in his heart, so this was something that would inevitably happen.

Zhao Zongwu glanced at the generals, and then said: "Since everyone has no other opinions, then our army will launch a general attack on Xi'an City, and this duke will place the camp tent of the commander-in-chief's mansion in Xi'an City within three days!" Ben Shuai wants to take Wang Jiayin's head and pay tribute to the soldiers and people who lost their lives because of him! ”

At the end of the speech, Zhao Zongwu pulled out the war knife on his waist and shouted angrily: "In this battle, if anyone can present Wang Jiayin's head, then Bengong will ask for credit for you!! ”

Although Zhao Zongwu was very excited on the surface, his heart was extremely calm, although he said that he wanted Wang Jiayin to be killed, but his inner reason told him that Wang Jiayin could not die at this stage, at least in the next three years, he could not die.

Because Zhao Zongwu still needs Wang Jiayin, he needs Wang Jiayin to lead his soldiers to take sanctions against Shanxi and other places!

"The Last General Commands !!"

After listening to Zhao Zongwu's words, all the generals present were excited, and then they all stood up together, bowed down and shouted angrily.

If Zhao Zongwu can ask for credit in person, what he will get is not only a change in his official position, but more importantly, a promotion of his title!

"Woo woo woo ......"

The horn of the attack resounded outside the city of Xi'an, a group of soldiers and horses, according to the predetermined position, the crossbowmen gathered on the Tushan platform, the siege team carried a series of siege weapons such as ladders and battering rams, and began to gather under the command of their respective generals.

More than 80,000 new soldiers were issued corresponding military orders by the guerrillas of each battalion, and after the baptism of the eight-day war, they have completed a sharp change in their thinking, which also makes them have the foundation to become a strong army, at least in their bones, they are no longer the so-called peasant thinking.

Looking at the rogues gathered in Xicheng, Mao Wenlong's eyes flashed with war intent, and the corners of his mouth raised a little contempt: "Sons, brothers!

Finally reached the stage of the general offensive, for our army, the meritorious service is at this moment, the grandfather of the country said, if anyone can climb first, kill the thief chief Jiayin, the grandfather of the country will personally ask for merit for him!! ”

Although it was said that the previous military discussions were only attended by military generals at the same level of knowledge, Mao Wenlong, Zu Dabi, and Liu Xingzuo did not hide the relevant matters related to the reward, but told them generously, so as to stimulate the morale of the soldiers under their command.

For them, although their hearts are also very eager for this military achievement, but this does not mean that they will be so comfortable to obtain this military achievement, if there are other soldiers who kill Wang Jiayin, then they will inevitably give this military merit to the warriors who deserve this military merit!

Why the officers and men of the Chinese army and navy can fight bravely and well in bloody battles, and there are few deserters who have lost their armor, the most fundamental point is that Zhao Zongwu has built a very complete meritorious record and distribution system in the army, ensuring that every soldier will not be ignored by others for the meritorious services they have obtained with their lives.

This kind of thing is a very common thing in other armies of the Ming Dynasty, and even some generals, in order to be able to get the corresponding rewards, use the most tragic way, using the way of killing good and risking merit, to kill innocent people, so as to impersonate the enemy soldiers, and then get the merit they want.

What's more, in order to be able to snatch meritorious deeds, the soldiers who had originally obtained the merits of the war were quietly killed.

"Wei Wei Wei ......!"

Almost at the same moment, there was a roar in the west, north, and south of Xi'an City, which belonged to the Chinese Army.

I'm afraid that the soldiers who participated in the siege already knew the promise made to them by their own father-in-law, so since this is the case, they must kill Wang Jiayin on the battlefield!

Otherwise, I will be sorry for the guarantee made by my grandfather.

The change of the siege Ming army, so that the Liukou who were stuck in the city of Xi'an were all shocked, although they still occupied a great advantage in numbers, but because of the previous period, they suffered very serious losses, and even these dead Liukou were scattered in the city and burned......

"Kill ......"

Mao Wenlong, Zu Dabi, and Liu Xingzuo almost at the same moment, pulled out the war knife in their hands, and roared angrily at the city they were responsible for.

And this hysterical roar, through the roar of the heralds everywhere, and then descended to the soldiers of all departments, and under the leadership of the guerrillas of each department, they began to launch a final attack on the city of Xi'an according to the predetermined position!

Don't look at Wang Jiayin, they gathered many soldiers on the city wall of Xi'an, and gathered many soldiers under the city of Xi'an, but the advantage of this battle was still seized by Zhao Zongwu and them!

When the narrow road meets, the brave wins!!
