Chapter 952: Storming Hanzhong City
There is a godfather-level rebel leader Gao Yingxiang in the Liukou, so it does not show how awesome Li Zicheng is with his obscene appearance.
Sun Chuanting, Hanzi and other civil officials and military generals couldn't understand why Li Zicheng's head was as important as Gao Yingxiang.
The "King of Han" has already conveyed to the whole army, and the designation of killing Li Zicheng is one of the first achievements in suppressing the Kou, and the civilian and military generals of the "Red Banner Army" will certainly have no objections.
In order to ensure that there would be no jokes, the heads of dozens of big leaders such as Li Zicheng, Liu Fangliang, Tian Jianxiu, Hao Shaoqi, etc., were repeatedly confirmed by the rogue soldiers who were familiar with them.
Then let Liu Guineng, who fought back outside Luoyang City and assisted the "Winged Tiger" to attack and kill Li Zicheng's descendants, identify them one by one.
After being verified by many parties, Chen Qiyu personally wrote the good news, and Han Zi, Sun Chuanting, etc. signed and sent a team of messengers to the capital to report the victory.
The messenger of the victory galloped all the way to Beijing, shouting: "Henan is a great victory, Luoyang and Kaifeng are recovered, and Li Zicheng is the head!" ”
The soldiers and civilians along the way were stunned, they had just seen the "Red Flag Army" moving south for a few days! Why did you recapture Luoyang and Kaifeng? The leader of the rogue named Li Zicheng is said to be very powerful, so this is explained?
Huang Han was also surprised, did Xiaoqiang in his impression die like this? Damn, I still want to catch that guy alive and skin, and I'm cheaper than that alien-stirring stick!
At this time, we are at the node of the change of dynasties, and the guidance of public opinion is particularly important, and the glorious image of the great, glorious and correct "Han King" must be vigorously promoted.
There is no content to make up a story, with the great victory in Henan, the recovery of Luoyang, Kaifeng, and the glorious results of annihilating 200,000 rogues must of course be bragged about.
"Red Flag Daily", "Jingshi Evening News" and other newspapers published articles on the front pages of the front page of the "King of Han" to praise the merits and virtues of the "King of Han" while recounting the great victory in Henan, and the military and people of Beijing once again organized a huge parade to celebrate the recovery of the Central Plains.
The entire land of Gyeonggi was jubilant, and the mountains shouted "Long live the King of Han!" There are more and more people, and the proportion of them coming from the heart is getting higher and higher.
Now the outer city of Beijing does not close the city gate at night, because more than a dozen main streets are lit up, the entire outer city is lit up, and the lights of thousands of homes and the clean and bright streets reflect each other beautifully.
Huang Han increased investment in capital construction, the road conditions near Jingshi should be the best, as soon as the lights are on, the city and suburbs of the city will be full of laughter and laughter tourists will flock to the "Guangzuo blessed land" and "never sleeps city business district".
Huang Sifang, Li Sanniangzi, Li Ruolian, Lou Yun and others are responsible for maintaining order, and the high-spirited right attendant of the Propaganda Department, Ruan Dacheng, organized the team to sing on stage, and dispatched an all-star lineup to perform more than a dozen plays for three consecutive days to celebrate Wang Shi's pacification of the Central Plains.
Most of the more than a dozen open-air stages are located in the squares of temples and Taoist temples in the outer city, and two are also built at the east and west gates of the children's park, and there are also buildings at both ends of the pedestrian street.
There are small traders and vendors doing business near each stage, most of them selling snacks, and the scene is quite hot, and the excitement exceeds that of the temple fair.
Too many official ladies and sons who live in the inner city flock to it, and eunuchs and palace maids who are not on duty in the Forbidden City come one after another.
Huang Han has a lot of experience, and he can't do stupid things that don't care about his head, and he understands that large-scale gatherings of tourists are prone to catastrophic accidents.
Therefore, Huang Sifang, Li Sanniangzi, Li Ruolian, Lou Yun and others were specially arranged to be responsible for maintaining order, preventing fires, not allowing cars, horses and livestock to go on the streets, and preparing emergency plans.
With psychological preparation and management experience, there was no major accident during the three-day celebration, and there were three nights of fish and dragon dance in the capital, and hundreds of thousands of military and civilian officials and eunuchs were happy and forgot to return, wishing that the peaceful and prosperous era was coming.
After the defense of the inner city was taken over by the "Red Flag Army", the outer and inner tightened, and several city gates leading to the outer city were not closed at night, and the eunuchs and palace maids who came out of the Forbidden City were basically not taken care of in and out of the inner and outer cities.
The flag guards have infiltrated the Forbidden City, and many of the little eunuchs and low-level palace maids are the eyes of the flag guards, and every move of the emperor, empress, concubine, and big eunuch is under control.
Of course, the news of Wang Shiguang's recovery of the Central Plains spread in the Forbidden City, and even the low-level palace maids and little eunuchs who were ignorant of the world knew the comparison between the two, and they all thought that the "King of Han" was too powerful, invincible in the world, worthy of the name, and no one could stop him from winning the world.
When Chongzhen heard the news of the collapse of Henan's recovery of 200,000 Liukou, he felt happy and lamented his fate......
The battlefield in Shaanxi was also fought vividly, and the white-pole soldiers and Sichuan troops who were holding back their strength were eager to make meritorious contributions, and immediately began to prepare siege equipment after besieging Hanzhong City.
Although Gu Zhun and Qin Yanyi were reluctant to seize Hanzhong by attacking the city, they could not dampen the high morale.
After consulting with Qin Liangyu, Ma Xianglin, Zhang Fengyi, Qin Yiming, and others, they decided to attack the south gate of Hanzhong with all their might.
Three days later, the sun had just risen, and the five hundred large and small artillery pieces that were used intensively began to bombard the city wall, and Gu Zhun personally led a thousand meters of Ni gunners scattered outside the southern city wall of Hanzhong within 200 paces to shoot the first bird.
Liukou had never seen infantry artillery fighting together, let alone a large battle using hundreds of artillery pieces at one time, and he was suddenly frightened.
Even though Li Guo led the guards to fight hard, they couldn't stop the pawns under his command from scurrying with their heads in their hands, and before they saw the Ming army approaching the root of the city wall, there were already few defenders left at the head of the city.
When the white pole soldiers and the Sichuan army shouted and carried the ladder to the city, the resistance of the southern city was already minimal.
The assault and defense of the city did not take the turn of the female barracks, and the main attack was the white pole soldiers, whose task was to provide fire cover.
Qin Yiming, Qin Gongming, Ma Xianglin and other generals of the white pole soldiers have all learned the latest news from Gu Zhun, Yang Xiaozhu and other "Red Banner Army" generals.
Realizing that the day of the change of dynasty is not long away, and the brother-in-law is about to become the emperor of the "Han Empire", it is a pity that my sister cannot be the queen, but can only be the imperial concubine.
They thought carefully and deliberately assisted their sister's female soldiers to make contributions, hoping that their sister could get the title of imperial concubine and lay the position of the second person in the harem.
Therefore, the opportunity to make meritorious contributions and show his face was deliberately given to the female barracks, and Qin Yiming, Ma Xianglin, and so on rushed to fight hard.
It's a pity that the enemy is too cowardly, and only two hours after the start of the war, the main general died, how can this city be defended?
In "Surrender or Kill!" In the Sichuan sound, the vast majority of the rogues raised their hands and knelt on the ground trembling, and it didn't take long for the red flags of the entire city to flutter.
Gao Yingxiang finally didn't have to worry about how to choose, because Hanzhong lost Li Guo's life and death were unknown, and the Sichuan army had already crossed Hanzhong to kill Xi'an.
Tens of thousands of "Red Banner Army" that had taken Yan'an Prefecture had already moved south, less than 300 miles away from Xi'an.
Like a dream, in the blink of an eye, Gao Yingxiang is facing a desperate situation again, and only the west seems to have a glimmer of life in the southeast, northwest and northwest.
However, Gao Yingxiang was unwilling to go away to the northwest, he made a stupid move, and actually led the main force to retreat into Xi'an.
It may be that this imperial capital of the past dynasties is of great significance, and Gao Yingxiang really can't give it up, or it may be that there is too much food, belongings and dependents in Xi'an City, and Gao Yingxiang thinks that there is a possibility to hold on.
Liukou actually didn't run away, Sun Chuanting and Chen Qiyu, who got the news, were ecstatic, they rode horses and galloped in person, and they could keep up with the whole cavalry team commanded by Hanzi.
On the second day after Gao Yingxiang entered Xi'an, more than 50,000 cavalry led by Hanzi arrived, and only half a day had passed, and more than ninety percent of the 15,000 bicycle infantry on the Western Front had arrived.
On the third day, the city of Xi'an was surrounded by more than 100,000 "Red Banner Army" and white pole soldiers and Sichuan Legion.
