Section 6: Fighting the Fragrance Sect Again (3)

"Herald Battalion! Concentrate your firepower on the southern wall! ”

Huang Fuming looked at the Yuncheng city wall in the distance, and shouted loudly in anger, and the heralds around him seemed to be frightened, and immediately rode their horses to the artillery camp position in front of the army. It didn't take long for the thirty Big Buddha cannons to start a continuous roar amid the roar of Li Genqi, the garrison of the Yulin Battalion Artillery Battalion.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

"Reload now! Preparation! Put! ”

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

Under the bombardment of fierce artillery fire, the southern city wall of Yuncheng trembled uncontrollably, and the gravel and tiles continued to fly into the air, accompanied by thick gunpowder smoke and fell on the city wall. The Wenxiang Sect rebels defending the city on the southern city wall were beaten so that they couldn't raise their heads at all, and they were suppressed to death, and many people couldn't stop screaming, constantly praying in their hearts that the official artillery fire would stop quickly.

After a while, the artillery battalion of the Yulin Battalion finally stopped shooting, and Huang Fuming did not give the Wenxiangjiao rebels any respite at all, and immediately ordered Liu Jinhui, the garrison of Battalion A, to immediately lead the army to attack the city. I saw that 4,000 soldiers under the leadership of Liu Jinhui roared and rushed to the south city wall, and more than a dozen ladders were quickly erected by the soldiers, and the soldiers climbed the ladders one after another to start the siege battle.

However, in the blink of an eye, a large number of Wenxiang Sect rebels appeared on the city, and those soldiers fought back at the soldiers of the Yulin Battalion, arrows, stones, and boiling water continued to smash down, as if they wanted to vent all the anger suppressed by the artillery fire before. The fierce resistance made the offensive of the soldiers of the Yulin Battalion follow, and almost all the soldiers who rushed to the forefront were knocked down from the ladder, and they were not alive.

In the distance, Huang Fuming, who was watching the battle, was so angry that he scolded, but he couldn't make up his mind to continue the onslaught regardless of casualties, and when he was hesitating, Lan Yuan and Li Mingzhi, who were leading their troops to storm the east and west of Yuncheng, also sent people to rush to Huang Fu Ming to ask Huang Fu Ming whether the army would suspend the attack, and the counterattack of the rebels of the Wenxiang Sect was very tenacious, and the casualties of the soldiers of each battalion were too great.

Huang Fu Ming said angrily to Ye Bushu, who came to ask for instructions: "The order given to us by General Gao is to take Yuncheng at all costs within three days, and now a day has passed, but our Yulin Battalion has not even climbed the city wall!" You say, "Why do you hold off the attack?" If our Yulin Battalion can't even deal with a rabble like the Smelling Fragrance Sect, how can we fight against the Tartars in the future? Isn't my Yulin battalion the battalion of the Hanwei Army? You go back and tell Lan Yuan and Li Mingzhi that if they want to retreat in the face of difficulties, get out of the Han Wei Army for me, they are not ashamed, Lao Tzu wants face! ”

After sending away the two who did not collect the night, Huang Fuming looked at the city head that was fighting fiercely, and saw that the soldiers of Battalion A led by Liu Jinhui still did not climb the city, and the soldiers climbed the ladder one after another, but more soldiers were under the city and suffered fierce counterattack from the Wenxiang Sect rebels, and the soldiers of the army suffered heavy casualties. As a last resort, Huang Fuming had no choice but to order Liu Jinhui to lead the army to withdraw and reorganize the formation, and at the same time ordered the artillery battalion to bombard for another time to weaken the garrison of the Wenxiangjiao rebels.

With a swan whistle, the soldiers of Battalion A withdrew like a tide, and Liu Jinhui also came to Huang Fuming's side with an annoyed face, and said loudly: "General, let me attack again, it's about to be hit!" ”

Huangfu Ming glared at Liu Jinhui and said, "Lao Tzu doesn't want to fill in the lives of soldiers!" I was a little irrational just now, this Yuncheng is not easy to fight, I can't force it! Someone, tell Lan Yuan and Li Mingzhi to withdraw immediately, and lead the army to the south to join me! ”

Liu Jinhui was shocked when he heard this, and said, "Big brother, aren't we going to fight?" General Gao has set a deadline for us! ”

Huang Fuming nodded and said, "Of course I know!" Let the soldiers take a breath first, let's think carefully about the countermeasures! ”

At this time, Li Genqi, the garrison of the artillery battalion, ran over and asked loudly: "General, is our artillery battalion still fighting?" ”

"Hit! Hit those crumbs hard on Lao Tzu! ”

At night, Huang Fuming and Liu Jinhui, Lan Yuan, Li Mingzhi, You Dagui, Li Genqi, and Zhao Meng were all worried in the big tent of the Chinese army.

After a long time, Huang Fuming sighed slightly, and said: "It's really shameless to say, our Yulin Battalion has not made any military exploits since its establishment, and when we pacified the rebellion of luxury and peace before, our Yulin Battalion also suffered a defeat, which is the only one in our Hanwei army, shame!" I just want to take the opportunity of this time to exterminate the Wenxiang Sect to make a great contribution, so that the rest of the battalion will not underestimate our Yulin Battalion soldiers, but who knows...... Alas! ”

Everyone felt depressed when they heard this, and they gritted their teeth and wanted to attack the city again, but when they thought of the deadly defense of the Wenxiang Sect rebels, they all felt that they had nowhere to exert their strength.

At this time, Liu Jinhui seemed to suddenly remember something, and said to Huang Fuming: "General, do you say that the Wenxiang Sect rebels in the city know that General Gao has won a big victory?" Are they still connected to the rest of the Smelling Sect? ”

Huangfu Ming was stunned when he heard this, frowned and thought for a while, and said, "It shouldn't be yet!" The speed at which we surrounded Yuncheng was very fast, the Wenxiang Sect rebels in the city should not have reacted, we should have cut off their contact with the outside world in time! ”

Liu Jinhui's eyes lit up and said: "Since this is the case, can we make a fuss about this?" ”

Everyone was a little puzzled when they heard this, and they all asked how to use this to make a fuss.

At this time, Huang Fuming and Liu Jinhui said almost at the same time: "Attack the heart first, mess up their positions!" ”

Early the next morning, the Wenxiang Sect rebels in Yuncheng City were surprised to find that the soldiers of the Yulin Battalion outside the city did not go out of the camp early to prepare for the siege of the city, but instead hid in the camp to rest, but sent a lot of iron horsemen to patrol around the city, completely cutting off the connection between Yuncheng and the outside.

In the afternoon of this day, the Wenxiang Sect rebels still did not see the soldiers of the Yulin Battalion coming to attack the city, so they were a little at a loss, not knowing what happened to the officers and soldiers in front of them, or what strategy the soldiers of the Yulin Battalion were preparing. As a result, an extremely uneasy mood spread in the city, and the generals of the Wenxiang Sect rebels immediately strengthened their vigilance when they saw this, and pushed most of their soldiers and horses to the city, ready for everything.

Time passed little by little, until this evening, the Wenxiang Sect rebels who were sticking to the head of Yuncheng City suddenly found that the Yulin Battalion army had made a move. I saw that more than 20,000 soldiers of the Yulin Battalion all drove out of the battalion, concentrated outside the south city wall and began to line up, the 30 big Buddha Lang machine guns of the artillery battalion were lined up, the gunners were nervously and quickly loading the artillery, and the officers and men of the other battalions were also on standby.

Seeing this, the Wenxiang Sect rebels on the head of the city all felt very strange, these officers and soldiers did not come to attack the city in broad daylight, and now it is about to get dark, but they are preparing for the siege of the city with great fanfare, is it that there is something wrong with the brains of the officers and generals? Why do you have to give up the easy?

At this moment, the rebels of the Smelling Fragrance Sect were horrified to find that some officers and soldiers pushed out one cart after another from the large array, there were more than a dozen carts, and all those carts were piled up with human heads, drenched in blood!

Huangfu looked confidently at the Wenxiang Sect rebels who were already in a state of flux, and finally had a smile on his face, and he also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Next to him, Liu Jinhui laughed and said, "Haha, don't you scare those Smelling Fragrance Sect rebels half to death!" These heads are what I led people to run dozens of miles of hard work, dug up from the battlefield of the bloody battle of the soldiers of the Eagle Yang Battalion, and cut down from the corpses of those Wenxiang Sect rebels one by one. ”

Huang Fuming ignored Liu Jinhui, who was excited, but observed the situation on the head of the city, and then directly ordered: "Put all those heads in a hundred steps in front of the city wall, and put them for Lao Tzu to form a Beijing view!" ”

"That's right! Scare those bastards! Liu Jinhui echoed excitedly.

"When it's set, send someone up and shout!"

A moment later, a huge Jingguan rose from the ground, and at the same time, a general strategy of the Yulin Battalion immediately stepped forward, stopped dozens of steps away from the city wall, and looked at the Wenxiang Sect rebels on the city wall, only to see that the city wall was already crowded, and there was even a flag erected at the head of the city, it seemed that the general of the Wenxiang Sect rebels also rushed to hear the news.

"Listen to the rebels in the city, I have issued an ultimatum to you on the orders of the generals under the command of the Yulin Battalion of the Hanwei Army! The leader of the Wenxiang Sect, Xu Chao, has been defeated and beheaded by the army of my Hanwei Army's Eagle Yang Battalion, and you are already trapped in the lonely city! ”

Speaking of this, the Qian general pointed to the dozen or so carts behind him and said, "These heads are the evidence that the Xu Dynasty's army has been defeated!" My general is soft-hearted, and he can't bear to let you give the Xu Dynasty a funeral, if you are willing to surrender, my general can guarantee your lives! Otherwise, do you see these heads? This is the end of your stubborn resistance! ”

After saying that, the Qian Zong rode his horse and returned to the big formation without looking back. At the same time, the artillery battalion of the Yulin Battalion has been filled, and with the order of Huang Fuming, the thirty big Buddha cannons began to roar, and the southern city wall of Yuncheng once again fell into a sea of fire, and the rebels of the Wenxiang Sect who defended the city were suddenly in chaos, and they all screamed and poured down the city, and the scene became extremely chaotic for a while.

Looking at Yuncheng at dusk, Huangfu's face was like frost, and he said to the generals around him: "Pass the order, wait until the artillery camp ceases fire, and the army will concentrate its forces to storm the southern city wall!" Light a fire, and tonight the army will attack the city overnight! ”
