Chapter 163: The Fall of the Shaowu Regime VII

A ruffian is a ruffian.

Catch the ducks on the shelves, and you can also fight with the regular army twice. But it's normal to really fight for your life and not be able to hold on.

Even if Wang Chengye immediately killed several shocking the whole army, it was to no avail.

From rushing over, to fighting, and then to retreating, it only took a while.

Wang Chengye took his own people and horses, where they came from and where they went back.

However, Wang Chengye's goal was achieved, that is, to rescue Ma Sanbao.

Ma Sanbao saw Wang Chengye and said: "Brother Wang, don't say anything, in the future, you will be my old horse's brother in life and death." As he spoke, he patted Wang Chengye the shoulder.

Wang Chengye was stabbed in the shoulder just now, and was slapped by Ma Sanbao, that kind of sour meaning, needless to say. It seems that as a boy near the Yangtze River, he is not suitable for this rough way of expressing his feelings in the northwest.

He moved his shoulders slightly and said, "It's not advisable to stay here for a long time, it's better to go quickly." ”

"Okay," Ma Sanbao said. He raised his head to look at the sun, and secretly said in his heart: "The general should also enter the city." ”

At this time, Su Guansheng also came here, and all the Ming troops obeyed his orders.

However, Su Guansheng also knew the situation in the city of Guangzhou.

Guangzhou City is almost an empty city, but there are some officials and people, and there are one or two thousand people guarding Shaowu, in addition, they are all under Zhaoqing City.

I have to say that no matter how much Zhang Xuan paid, he did manage to be a soldier and a god. From Chenzhou to Guangzhou, it took less than ten days.

Before Ma Sanbao took the city gate, all Shaowu heard was the rumors.

Su Guansheng listened to the report of the people below, and immediately understood one thing, that is, if he didn't recapture the north gate as soon as possible, and waited for the Xia army to enter the city in a big way, with some soldiers in the city, he would not be able to resist it at all.

If Guangzhou falls, the big thing will go.

Su Guansheng immediately urged the soldiers to chase Wang Chengye and others to storm the north gate.

Chase them all the way. When I returned to the vicinity of the North Gate, there were only more than 100 people left.

These more than 100 people are Wang Chengye's diehard loyalists, if they were not loyal enough to Wang Chengye, they would have fled secretly, after all, this is not a battle in the wilderness, but on the streets of Guangzhou, only to find a small alley, or climb over a wall to hide, the officers and soldiers will not chase after one or two.

It's just that at this moment, the north gate doesn't have the slightest intention to answer, and I see the north gate open. The gates were full of soldiers. A large group of men and horses rushed out of the hole in the city gate.

Sweating all over their heads. My clothes were soaking wet.

Although it is autumn now, the weather in Guangdong does not talk about this. At this time, the weather in Guangdong is almost no different from the midsummer elsewhere. The army came from Qingyuan in one go. 、

Among them, they only rested for two or three hours, and they still rested separately.

Along the way, I have been eating dry food and drinking cold water. Run for an hour or two and practice for a while, and then keep going, day and night. The march was one hundred and fifty miles in one day and one night. And they're all foot soldiers.

It can be said that if it weren't for Zhang Xuan's headquarters, it would be Zhang Xuan's ace descendant, and other armies would let Zhang Xuan toss so much, and it would be good if he didn't mutiny, where would there be combat effectiveness.

This is also one of the reasons why Zhang Xuan must change horses with Deng He and Xu Du.

When Qi Jiguang was there, the Qi family army was on the march, and there were also such records. But if Qi Jiajun can do it, whether Jinhua Army can do it, Zhang Xuan is not clear.

However, Zhang Xuan believes that his Runing Army can do it.

This did not rush to the front of the Linying battalion, and as soon as he entered the city, he did not take a breath before he directly encountered the enemy.

At this time, Linyingying's physical strength was almost low. I don't dare to say that I don't even have the strength to swing a knife. But it will not be able to support a long battle.

Ancient and modern times are still different. After the modern rifle dominated the battlefield, the physical strength of the soldier was mostly on the march, and when it came to real combat, only the one who pulled the trigger was immediate.

And in this era, it is still necessary to fight with a knife and a gun.

In fact, such an extreme march is not very beneficial to the battle, and it is not unreasonable for the so-called one who travels a hundred miles a day to become a general.

When the strength of the army is placed on the march, where is there still the strength to fight, without the strength to fight, it is impossible to win.

However, Linying Camp is Linying Camp after all, and it has rich experience. Even if he hastily took the formation, under the command of the sentry commander who rushed to the front, he immediately made adjustments.

The musketeers in the army all stepped forward, lined up in several columns, and waited for battle. When the Ming army rushed over, it was almost facing the opponent's face, and it was a volley.

Countless lead bullets shot out, and immediately knocked the Ming soldiers who rushed in front to the ground.

"Kill." With a loud shout, the soldiers of the Linying battalion came out from both sides, and immediately drove the frightened Ming soldiers down.

As soon as the two sides fought, the Ming soldiers were killed by the strict cooperation of the Linying battalion soldiers.

If you've just started to get hit by the firecrackers, you still have a little bit of morale. After the two sides fought in close quarters, the last bit of morale was also beaten.

After the collapse of the Ming army, the last resistance in the city of Guangzhou was also ended.

Zhang Xuan also came to the north gate of Guangzhou at this moment, saw Ma Sanbao, kicked him hard, and said, "You kid don't want to die." ”

Ma Sanbao smiled and didn't say much, he knew that what he did today must be a great achievement, Zhang Xuan's little fist embroidered legs, it was nothing to take two hits.

He suddenly thought of something, and said to Wang Chengye: "General, if there is no Brother Wang to save me." I won't be able to come back today. ”

Zhang Xuan glanced at Wang Chengye and said, "Are you someone under Hu Tang?" ”

Wang Chengye said: "Yes, the lowly Wang Chengye has seen the general. ”

"Wang Chengye, is it?" Zhang Xuan said; "I remember you, now go and find Hu Tang, I want to see him."

Wang Chengye was overjoyed and said; "Yes, General."

For Wang Chengye, as long as Zhang Xuan can remember his recent name, it is the greatest compliment. As the so-called Jane is in the emperor's heart, are you still afraid that you can't be promoted?

immediately went to find Hu Tang.

Ma Sanbao said: "General, Brother Wang has made a lot of credit this time, so you just sent it away?" ”

"Rewards and punishments in the army. has always acted impartially, what credit does Wang Chengye have, it is because he has done something, not because he saved you, such a big thing, are you interjecting? Zhang Xuan reprimanded.

Ma Sanbao's heart was cold. Suddenly I felt that I was a little too proud, and immediately did not dare to speak.

Zhang Xuan immediately made it clear that the Runing Army was divided into three battalions and entered the city of Guangzhou, and he must control the vital areas in the city. And Zhang Xuan took his own soldiers to sit in Zhenhai Tower. It can not only be condescending, overlooking most of the city of Guangzhou, but also easy to defend and difficult to attack, and can be used as the last stronghold of the Xia army.

Of course, Zhang Xuan knew that because of the march, he was very tired up and down, but Zhang Xuan knew that if he ordered to rest now, the soldiers would not be able to lift their spirits for a long time.

It's better to muster up Yu Yong and take down Guangzhou City, and then it's not too late to talk about it.

"The general who visited the lower officials." Hu Tang came quickly, and he was in Beicheng.

Zhang Xuan saw Hu Tang, greeted him and said, "Mr. Hu, you are the first to make a contribution to the battle of Guangzhou. ”

Hu Tang said: "The lower officials don't dare to be the lower officials, the information transmitted by the lower officials has many mistakes, and today's matter of earning the city, the general is wise and powerful, and he doesn't need the lower officials at all, how can the lower officials do it." ”

For this matter, Hu Tang still has a trace of complaint in his heart, he has been preparing things for several months, but in the end they are useless, accumulating strength for two months, punching the air, and feeding the dog with all his hard work. Hu Tang's heart is not so easy to let go.

Zhang Xuan said: "If it weren't for Mr. Hu, who went deep into danger and led the army, how could I get to the city of Guangzhou so easily." Mr. Hu must not refuse. ”

If Hu Tang hadn't stuck the most critical time node so accurately, a few days earlier, a few days later, things would have been very different, although he had some things that he didn't grasp accurately. But the flaws are not hidden.

"Thank you, General." Hu Tang said with a little excitement.

Zhang Xuan said: "Let's get down to business first. Are you familiar with the leading figures in Guangzhou? ”
