Section 5 Fighting at night to capture the city
The rebel leader was not afraid in the face of the countless Hanwei soldiers who came up from the encirclement, first signaled the hundreds of rebel soldiers around him to stop, and then said loudly to Liu Yunwei: "My name is Wang Zhi!" Who are you? ”
Liu Yunwei sat on his war horse and said: "I am Liu Yunwei, the chief military officer of Tongzhou Town, why do you want to rebel from thieves!" ”
When Wang Zhi heard that Liu Yunwei, the commander of the world-famous Hanwei Army, was opposite, he was immediately a little surprised, and his momentum suddenly weakened, but his mouth was still a little tough, and he said: "The family is so poor that I can't open the pot, I naturally have to find a way to fill my stomach, do I have to wait to starve to death?" ”
Liu Yunwei's face was a little unkind when he heard this, his eyes stared fiercely at Wang Zhi who was not far away, and said coldly: "This is the reason for your treason? ”
Wang Zhi's face was a little unbearable, so he stopped talking, and his eyes didn't dare to look at Liu Yunwei, but didn't turn his head to look away.
"Take your men and surrender immediately, I can consider leaving you alive. Otherwise, you and all the rebel soldiers here will be killed on the spot! ”
After Liu Yunwei finished speaking, he turned his horse's head and left, and then Zhao Kaishan on the side said, "Wang Zhi, right?" My head town also cherishes your ability, otherwise you can still stand here and talk? Although you are a little brave, but compared with my family's main town, you can't pass the three-in-one, besides, you can still kill out of thousands of troops? Think about it whether it's life or death. ”
"Don't think about it, I'll just surrender, anyway, I'll eat everywhere."
Zhao Kaishan looked at Wang Zhi with an indifferent face, and was a little stunned for a while, he didn't expect that Wang Zhi to surrender so simply, so he asked with some hesitation: "Really?" You surrendered? ”
Wang Zhi didn't say anything, directly threw away the weapon in his hand, and shouted to the surrounding rebels to surrender immediately. Zhao Kaishan was overjoyed when he saw this, and immediately sent someone to inform Liu Yunwei, and then said to Wang Zhi: "Good man! As long as you make meritorious contributions in the battle to quell the rebellion of Extravagant Chongming, I will intercede with Zongzhen and let you be my subordinate Qianzong! ”
Wang Zhi was suddenly a little moved when he heard this, but after thinking about it for a while, he hesitated a little, and said: "Your words are true and you are the master?" ”
"I am the chief general of this tiger battalion, a guerrilla general of the Hanwei Army, what can't I take seriously, I can't be the master!"
"Then let's not go to Nanjin Pass, Yu Chongming will definitely not go there, let's go to Hexiguan to block him!"
At the same time, Wu Xing had already led more than 10,000 soldiers of the trapped camp to the vicinity of Nanjin Pass, and after a short stop, he led his troops to the city, lined up the twenty big Buddha Lang machine guns of the artillery battalion under the trapped camp, and prepared to attack the city overnight.
At this time, more than 10,000 rebels stationed in Nanjin Pass rushed to the city after learning the news, and those rebel soldiers looked at the more than 10,000 troops in the night outside the city in a panic, and their hearts were full of fear. Especially after the commander of the army, Yu Chongming, led the army to attack, the rebel soldiers left behind in the pass were even more leaderless, and the leaders of the rebel army had their own affairs, in the face of the pressure of the army, no one was trying their best to think about how to defend the city, everyone was thinking about one thing, that is, how to survive!
Wu Xing looked at the chaotic Nanjin Pass city wall, and saw that the rebels on the city head were noisy and chaotic, and there was no order between the defenses, so he was relieved, and immediately ordered the artillery battalion to run with all its strength and concentrate fire on the city gate and tower.
"Ready! Put! ”
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”
"Charge bag, fill gun! Preparation! Put! ”
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”
"Continuous cannons! Preparation! Put! ”
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”
Hundreds of gunners of the artillery battalion controlled the artillery in an orderly manner, and the twenty big Buddha Lang machine guns roared round after round, and the fierce artillery fire shrouded the city tower of Nanjin Pass and the city gate, and the originally tall city tower disappeared in the thick smoke and dust not long after. It didn't take long for a corner of the tower to collapse under the heavy artillery fire, crushing all the hundreds of rebel soldiers on the left. The rest of the rebel soldiers at the head of the city were all shocked when they saw this, and they all fled to the side screaming, and even some of them had already begun to flee towards the city, so it can be said that the rebels' defenses had completely collapsed under the artillery fire of the trapped camp.
Wu Xing originally wanted to wait until the city gate of Nanjin Pass was blasted open before supervising the army to attack the city, but he never expected that the rebel army that had lost the command of Yu Chongming would be so vulnerable, and the rebel soldiers on the city collapsed with just one shelling. As a result, Wu Xing didn't wait any longer, and directly ordered the soldiers of Battalion A and Battalion B to attack the city, and the soldiers of Battalion C stepped forward to suppress the rebel soldiers at the head of the city.
"Kill the soldiers! Kill the pass! ”
"Wan Sheng! Wansheng! Wansheng! ”
Tens of thousands of soldiers in the camp roared and rushed to Nanjin Pass, the soldiers of the A and B battalions carried more than a dozen ladders to charge in formation, and the soldiers of the C battalion quickly crossed the brigade, rushed to the front of the army, and rushed to a place sixty steps away from the city wall, and began to line up at the head of the city and bombarded. With the continuous roar of more than a thousand fine bird guns, the dense lead continued to hit the city, and the rebel soldiers who had no time to dodge were shot and fell to the ground, and the miserable screams intensified the chaos on the city.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the officers and men of Battalion A and Battalion B immediately erected more than a dozen ladders, and thousands of soldiers began to fight in the city. In a few moments, hundreds of soldiers who had fallen into the camp rushed to the top of the city, pounced on the panicked rebel soldiers like tigers.
This is a battle without the slightest suspense, where are the rebel soldiers who have completely lost their command the opponents of the elite soldiers of the trapped camp? More than 10,000 rebel soldiers had no power to fight back in the face of the trapped-camp soldiers with equal strength, and scattered all the way from the city to the pass, leaving only the corpses of the rebels everywhere along the way, which can be described as a mountain of defeat. And the soldiers in the trapping camp marched all the way, and they entered the pass without the slightest obstruction.
Counting from the time the soldiers of the trapped camp ascended to the top of the city, it was less than a stick of incense, and the gate of Nanjin Pass was opened from the inside by the soldiers of the trapped camp who were killed in the pass. Wu Xing immediately smiled when he saw this, and immediately ordered more than 1,000 soldiers of the cavalry battalion under the jurisdiction of the trapped camp to rush into the city on horseback, immediately occupy the remaining city gates in the pass, block all the rebels in the pass, and annihilate the rebel forces in the Nanjin Pass to the greatest extent.
Iron cavalry trampling, more than 1,000 iron cavalry soldiers roared into the pass, along the way the rebel soldiers who fled for their lives were rushed to the back of their horses, trampled on each other, those rebel soldiers only hated their parents for their own two legs, have desperately ran towards the rest of the city gates of Nanjin Pass, want to escape. But how can those panicked rebel soldiers outrun the elite iron cavalry soldiers? While the fleeing rebel soldiers were still wandering around the city like headless flies, the gates of the city were already occupied by the Iron Cavalry. So far, more than 10,000 rebels stationed in Nanjin Pass have all been blocked in the pass and have become more than 10,000 turtles in urns.
By the time Wu Xing led the Chinese army into Nanjin Pass, it was already dawn when the sky was slightly bright, and most of the rebels in the pass had already surrendered, and the soldiers of the trapped camp were taking prisoners and taking stock of the captures of the battle.
At this moment, there was the roar of the marching army outside the pass, Wu Xing hurriedly climbed to the top of the city to look, only to see that Liu Yunwei led the Longxiang Iron Cavalry and the soldiers of the Huben Battalion to arrive, accompanied by more than 4,000 rebel prisoners.
After everyone met, Liu Yunwei didn't say much, and directly pointed to Wang Zhi, who had surrendered, and said: "This is Wang Zhi, he told me that Luxury Chongming has fled to Hexi Pass, and Wu Guerrilla can see the traces of Luxury Chongming?" ”
Wu Xing shook his head and said, "Qiqi Town, the army fought fiercely in the middle of the night, and did not find the soldiers and horses of the Xuan Chongming Division, so they should have fled elsewhere from the mountain path. ”
Liu Yunwei did not hesitate, and immediately ordered Wu Xing to lead the soldiers of the trapped camp to garrison Nanjin Pass, and to guard the nearly 20,000 rebel prisoners captured by the army, while Liu Yunwei himself was ready to lead the pacesetter battalion and the soldiers of the Huben battalion to attack Hexi Pass.
"Order all the soldiers and horses left behind in the camp to come and join immediately, the soldiers of the Longxiang Iron Cavalry and the Tiger Camp hurry up to rest, and the army will set off to attack Hexi Pass in two hours!"
The words are divided into two ends, one for each table.
After a night of fleeing, Yu Chongming finally led more than 1,000 rebel soldiers to Hexi Pass. After meeting An Shixian, the rebel general stationed in Guancheng, Hao Chongming briefly talked about what happened to him, and then said: "Now the main force of the official army must be storming Nanjin Pass, once Nanjin Pass is lost, the official army will definitely attack east to fight Hexi Pass." You immediately deliver the news to the master of the An family, and say that you should leave the officials and troops in the southern city alone, and immediately lead the army to withdraw to Yilong City! Let's wait until the 20,000 soldiers and horses facing off against Baoning Mansion City in the north are withdrawn, and then we will also withdraw to Yilong City. In this battle, we have already lost. ”
An Shixian was shocked when he heard this, and exclaimed: "Master of the Luxury Family, if we retreat, it will be defeated, and there will be no power to fight back!" ”
Extravagant Chongming said with a wry smile: "Now that the 30,000 troops in Nanjin Pass have been defeated, we are already in a slight situation in terms of troops, and the combat strength of the army is not as good as the official army, and the situation on the battlefield of Nanjin Pass is in a slight situation again, if we don't retreat, are we waiting here for the official army to cut off our heads?" ”
"So what are we going to do in the future?"
"Let's talk about the future. Only by saving our lives can we have the life to talk about the future. ”
