Chapter 358: Great Victory

The whole book .,The fastest update of the latest chapter of Zhongxing Road at the end of the Ming Dynasty!

In the absence of absolute darkness, the continuous killing of sharp arrows up and down with one stone and two or three fights almost made the battlefield once again look like a hunt under the bow and arrow of the top level archer.

After the main force of the defenders suffered a serious defeat, although there were still 40,000 troops in the city, it seemed that it could still form a relatively tight defense line in a city like Guiyang, which was not too big. In addition to the defenders who pushed into Guiyang City, there were more than 100,000 family members of the army, and about 40,000 of them were mobilized near the city wall to supplement the defense of the city, which made the elite in the city Although the vitality of the city was greatly damaged, the strength of the defenders of the city was slightly stronger than before.

The failure of the early morning counterattack also gave the defenders a full understanding of the combat effectiveness of the main force of the volunteer army, and many temporary heavy shields composed of quilts and soil, and even two-layer door panels began to be mounted on the battlements.

Such fortifications are not a threat to the main force of the volunteer army in the true sense of the word, and the shelling of light field artillery alone can make such fortifications immediately face a huge crisis.

However, in order to act covertly and seize the fighters in the pursuit operation, the 7th and 8th detachments and affiliated units that came from the flank were not equipped with a large number of artillery, and even field artillery with a body of 3,500 catties was rare, which made the attack on the fortified operation also began to face a lot of difficulties for a while. In the end, the commander of the seventh detachment, who was in charge of commanding the team, boldly ordered more than 1,500 elite archers of more than eighty percent of the volunteer troops of the two detachments to concentrate more than 1,500 sharpshooters within a range of about 200 paces to form a dense and accurate arrow rain cover, and cover the selected elite forces to launch a strong attack on the city, and finally made a foothold and breakthrough on the well-guarded city head with hundreds of casualties.

The battle that followed did not turn around as quickly as expected and turned into a devastating victory, because no one could be sure of what fate they would face, especially when many people understood that the Ming Dynasty could no longer blame the public, and it was not necessarily impossible to be executed completely.

Due to the huge disparity in combat effectiveness, the battle on the head of the city continued steadily with the victory of the besiegers, but the fierce resistance finally caused the casualties of the seventh and eighth detachments to accumulate more than 300 people, and the entire city was actually taken. From the surrenderers who were killed to the people who died on the battlefield, tens of thousands of people died in the battle on the city wall of Guiyang and even in street battles, which also made the small Guiyang City a lot of corpses for a while. Fortunately, although the number of troops who followed was not sufficient, it was not too small, and the climate was not hot and rainy, so there was no chaos when the city was cleaned up.

When the last resistance in the city was gradually cleared, even the middle-aged and elderly families of some of the affiliated rebels in the city did not exist, and only the "captives" who were mainly women were left

"Do you think these people will be punished?" A battalion commander suddenly asked Jia Feng, the commander of the eighth detachment. Of course, Jia Feng knew that the words of the battalion commander did not seem to represent only what he wanted to express, but many voices in the team. After several months of long-distance warfare, they faced casualties and fierce battles of no small degree.

Of course, Jia Feng also knew that if the troops were restrained by coercion at this time, after all, unlike the traditional army, the main force of the selected volunteer troops should still be able to control military discipline, but at this time, he felt a little unwilling: from overseas operations to internal chaos, how could the benefits and even money and wealth be all by those "whistleblower heroes" in the end? For the sake of thousands of officers and men of the volunteer troops, and even tens of thousands of officers and men of the volunteer troops, he had to go to the mine once. Even if he suffered a huge risk and purge in the end, Jia Feng felt that it was worth it. Jia Feng believes that the core of the king's rule of the world still relies on his own people, not those outsiders who have proved to be unreliable in practice.

Therefore, Jia Feng finally told seriously: "This time, we can mine once for the future interests of tens of thousands of pillars of the country, but you can't do too much." You must know: Today's monarch is a person who is not too worried about his safety and dares to act, and it is a matter of touching the scales to try in a way that violates military discipline. Let those people personally make a document to become the adopted daughters of our volunteer comrades, not in the name of concubines or slaves... ”

Such words made many people below feel a little strange, but people also knew that those officers and generals who had followed the king to deal with various crises since the capital were likely to know some general information about the future principles of the Son of Heaven that outsiders did not understand, and there were few people who knew about it.

For the next few days, the entire Guiyang City was filled with laughter that was rare in previous battles, but there were also screams and even cries of women who were rarely seen in previous battles. However, under the strict control of the organization, there were still not too many lives in the end. When the battle of Guiyang City came to a thrilling end, the decisive battle in Chengdu was also launched in the rumbling cannon.

Unlike Guiyang City, although there are more defenders gathered in the Chengdu area, the attacking force is not a light or surprise team. In the continuous sound of thousands of 500-pound barreled artillery pieces and more than 200 thousand-pound guns, the seemingly decent fortifications on the head of the city soon became dilapidated and unsightly, and the five detachments and even more than 100,000 auxiliary troops who were not stingy with gunpowder did not spare the artillery fire too much, and fired at least 20 rounds of solid shells in the two hours of artillery preparation. Not only did it directly destroy many fortifications on the head of Chengdu, but many places where troops gathered in the city were violently attacked under the guidance of hot air balloons, which also made the subsequent attack even more devastating, and in about half a day, it crushed the resistance of the defenders in the city whose morale was not too high.

At this point, the rebellion in the whole of China was put down like an autumn wind sweeping away the leaves in about three months, and it was beyond the expectations of many people, and it was only at this time that many local forces in the country had a deeper understanding of the height of the combat effectiveness of the main force of the volunteers.

Through a more complete and efficient post station system, Xiao Xuan finally received good news and even related secret reports from multiple systems in Chengdu and Guiyang when the Spring Festival of the ninth year of Chongzhen was approaching, but he didn't feel too relaxed.
