292 Battle of the Central Plains (24)
"General Weng, I'm here to give you a gift!"
Weng Zhiqi was dealing with the aftermath in the palace, Bai Wang led a person to the front of the hall, and said with a smile, which also made Weng Zhiqi very puzzled.
"Who is this?" Weng Zhiqi looked at the person in front of him and asked.
Bai Wang lifted it and said: "This is the Hou Fangyu that the general has always wanted, the thing raised by the bitch, and I want to escape after our army attacks the city, looking at him like this, I didn't expect to be recognized by a few descendants, otherwise I really don't know how to explain to the general." ”
"Hou Fangyu?" Weng Zhiqi was also surprised, and said with a smile: "Back then, this person provoked the Zuo family and his son to rebel, and later after the conspiracy was shattered, he switched to the Qing court, but I didn't expect him to be here." ”
"After he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, he was not reused, and he came to Henan, originally Xiteku also wanted to recruit him as the shogunate, but he didn't expect that he had just taken office, and he encountered the curse of heaven, and our army captured Huaiqing Mansion, and he was not able to escape again, how to deal with it, and asked General Weng to be the master!"
"The two generals spare their lives, spare their lives, the little wolf heart and dog lungs, pigs and dogs are not as good, please spare my life ...... the two generals" Hou Fangyu was also begging for mercy at this moment, and he could tell that these people hated him very much.
Weng Zhiqi was also too lazy to take care of him, and called: "Come on, break one of his legs, lest he run around, escort him back to Fengyang, and wait for the general to deal with it!" ”
Before Hou Fangyu had time to beg for mercy, he had already been escorted down by the soldiers, and soon a terrible scream sounded, but Weng Zhiqi and Bai Wang both laughed, such soft bones should be cleaned up like this, otherwise they would really be sorry for his dirty face.
After the fall of Huaiqing Mansion, Weng Zhiqi stayed in Huaiqing, Bai Wang and Jiao Lian divided their troops to capture Weihui and Zhangde, the Qing army had no troops here, and the two mansions almost all surrendered without a fight, only a few officials in the city were worried about their future and resisted, but it was also difficult to stop the Ming army's troops, and the entire Henan border returned to the Ming Dynasty.
Seeing the red sun falling, the soldiers have gone crazy, the artillerymen are only wearing a pair of shorts, mechanically loading one shell after another, some of the cannons have been beaten red, the soldiers poured buckets of cold water, many people's hands are red, but no one asks for rest.
Under the city of Texas, the corpses piled up into a mountain, and the ground under his feet turned dark red. The 60,000 members of the Ming army surrounded Dezhou, trapped the more than 10,000 remnants of the soldiers who fled here in the city, dug trenches outside the city, and piled up earthen walls to prevent them from breaking through.
"General Qiyu, the Ming army is attacking very fiercely in the west, and General Zu Dashou is asking for reinforcements?"
Bahana sighed and said: "Isn't my fight here fierce, then there are still troops to reinforce, tell Zu Dashou that you must guard the west gate, and you must not let the Ming army rush in." ”
On the canal embankment, Cao Bianjiao looked at the situation on the battlefield with clairvoyance, and then turned around and did not speak, but looked at the sky, and said thoughtfully: "It's almost dark, we have been attacking the city for three days, it's time to end!" ”
"General, it's not early, the soldiers are a little tired, are we going to fight overnight?" Song Xiance next to him also asked.
"Hahaha, Mr. Song, you have also fought with me several times, why do you still ask such a question, tonight is their last chance, how can he let it go! They couldn't hold out for long, so they gave the order to go down and continue the siege ......"
Song Xiance hesitated, pointed to the hot air balloon in the air, and persuaded: "General, at night, the hot air balloon will be useless, and we will not be able to know the deployment of the Qing army. ”
Cao Bianjiao smiled and said, "Don't worry, it doesn't matter if there is no hot air balloon, we will definitely be able to enter the city tonight, you can rest assured!" ”
At this moment, Bahana above the city gate was also staring at the sunset on the horizon, and a smile gradually appeared on the corner of his mouth, which could be regarded as self-comfort, and they survived another day. The hot air balloon floating above their heads by the Ming army was also evacuated, which made him also breathe a sigh of relief, the Qing army was actually able to fight in terms of troops, but Cao Bianjiao made out this hot air balloon, floating above their heads, and their armament was clearly understood, and they could only watch those things float around and be helpless. On the first day of the siege of the city, the Qing army's reserve men and horses gathered in the city to wait, as a result, the Ming army crossed the city wall, dozens of artillery concentrated attacks, not bombarded the city pass, but attacked the reserve army in the city, hit them by surprise, the reserve army was unprepared to be bombed on their backs, and the result was that the Ming army did not attack the city, they lost three or four thousand men and horses.
The artillery fire of the Ming army was heard, and the soldiers who besieged the city were also pushed down, and the Qing army began to go to the city to collect the remains of the dead soldiers and repair the city defenses, but at this time, suddenly a burst of explosions sounded that shook the mountains, and the entire city collapsed, and the Qing troops in the city were defenseless and all were buried in it.
In the camp of the Ming army, a gunfire and artillery bombardment appeared again, the projectiles were like hailstones, shooting mercilessly towards the Qing army, and a team of soldiers in iron armor approached step by step, these were all selected dead soldiers, who didn't care about their own lives at all. Not to mention that they were covered in iron armor, and it was difficult to hurt them, and the iron armor soldiers rushed up frantically.
Bahana looked at the firelight, but also hated itchy, he didn't expect the Ming army to unknowingly hollow out the root of the city wall, no matter how angry he was, it was useless, the city wall had collapsed, he saw hundreds of his soldiers buried in the ruins, desperately struggling, and then was shot and killed by the Ming army.
"Warriors, rush!" Hao Yongzhong, who had long been unable to hold back, led the ironclad soldiers to swarm up, they jumped over the earthen wall, rushed to the front of the Qing army, and the shouts of killing suddenly filled the heavens and the earth. The Qing army continued to fall, and more Ming troops rushed up behind them, without the slightest delay, and a large number of musketeers followed, and the soldiers of the Qing army continued to fall, and the Ming soldiers were like machines, shooting, slashing, and constantly repeating the same action.
"Kill!" A Ming soldier struggled to stab the Qing army in the abdomen with a knife, but because there was armor to resist, it did not penetrate the opponent's body, and it was not fatal, the Ming sergeant concentrated his whole body strength on the arm, desperately stabbed the opponent's body, and finally penetrated the opponent's armor, which was very satisfied with pulling out the steel knife, next to him a big knife suddenly fell, just cut on the neck, hot blood gushed out from the neck, the soldier was red and red in pain, and his hands grabbed the opponent's big knife like a vice.
"Let go!" The Qing soldiers shouted angrily, but they couldn't recover their blades.
"Ahh With a heart-wrenching scream, the Ming army stabbed the blade of less than three inches that had been broken into the opponent's neck with the last trace of strength, and the two corpses fell to the ground at the same time, the battlefield became more and more cruel, blood surged, and people continued to fall, and more and more Ming troops gradually poured into the city, and the balance of the battle tilted.
"Soldiers, you are all warriors of my Qing Dynasty, this battle is only allowed to win, not defeated, kill me!" Seeing the endgame, Bahana also seemed to be crazy, fighting hard! And the worst thing is that there are more and more follow-up soldiers, and they are gradually falling into a bitter battle from the gap, and time passes little by little, and there are fewer and fewer soldiers around Bahana, and he can only grit his teeth and hold on.
