Volume VII The Bloody Battle in the Southwest

Chapter 3 Tiger Ben's Bloody War Quells Rebellion

Section 17 Pacification (4)

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

The roar of war drums came from the large array of the Hanwei army, and the 50,000 soldiers of the Hanwei army who were waiting in the north of the Sword Pavilion City roared in the wind, and the shouts of "Wansheng" resounded in the sky and were deafening. The rebel soldiers at the head of the city were all shocked when they saw this, and the morale of the rebels had already fallen to the bottom before the battle began, and even the morale of the army had begun to waver.

At this time, Hao Donghu's face was full of gloom, and his heart was extremely painful. Even an idiot can see the result of this battle clearly, he and his tens of thousands of soldiers are absolutely dead, and in the face of the front and rear attacks of the elite of the 80,000 Hanwei Army, no one in the world can resist it!

Thinking of this, Hao Donghu looked at his subordinates and said secretly: "Since you can't win the battle, is it possible to surrender?" As soon as this idea came up, it was vetoed by Hao Donghu, if he really surrendered, his soldiers might be able to save a life, but he would definitely not survive.

"Since you can't live anymore, let's fight!"

Having made up his mind, Hao Donghu immediately sent his 1,000 personal guards to supervise the battle on the north and south walls, and all those who hesitated and escaped from the battle were to be killed on the spot, regardless of the size of their official positions! Do your best to mobilize the combat power of the army, and this Sword Pavilion City can be defended for as long as it can.

These guards are all the henchmen of the Luxury East Tiger, and they share the honor and disgrace with the Luxury East Tiger, and there is no discount in the execution of the order. Soon, the defensive forces of the two walls on the north and south of Sword Pavilion City were already in place, and all the rebel soldiers were mobilized, ready to meet the monstrous wrath of tens of thousands of soldiers of the Han Wei Army.

In the face of the grim situation, Hao Donghu divided his tens of thousands of soldiers and horses into three parts, of which the main army of 5,000 was arranged on the north city wall, responsible for resisting the attack of the main force of Liu Yunwei's Hanwei army; 3,000 soldiers and horses were arranged on the southern city wall, ready to defend against the attack of the Hanwei army soldiers under Lu Ying's department; The remaining 1,000 soldiers and horses were left in the city by the Hao Donghu and used as the last counterattack force of the army. Even at this point, Hao Donghu has not given up hope of life.

Suddenly, a terrible swan whistle pierced the sky, the huge artillery group laid by the main army of the Han Wei army outside the north city wall began to roar, one hundred and ten big Buddha Lang machine guns suddenly disappeared in the thick smoke with the strong vibration of the earth, more than 100 cannons smashed on the city wall, many arrow stacks, the wall fell in response, the north city tower collapsed in the first two rounds of artillery bombardment, and buried a large number of rebel soldiers underneath.

The artillery fire outside the city continued one after another! The rebel soldiers on the city wall suffered heavy casualties, and in the continuous shelling, no one could stand on the city wall, and almost everyone fell to the ground in various postures, whether they were living or dead!

At the same time, outside the southern city wall, 30,000 Hanwei soldiers led by Lu Ying also launched a fierce attack on the rebels in the city. The three artillery battalions under the jurisdiction of the Feiyu Battalion, the Tiger Battalion, and the Yue Cavalry Battalion also began to roar, and the roars of sixty Big Buddha Lang machine guns came and went, and the cannons like raindrops covered the southern city wall in an instant, pulling all the rebel soldiers on the city wall into hell.

For the next hour, the entire Sword Pavilion City was trembling violently, groaning in pain under the fierce bombardment of a total of one hundred and seventy heavy artillery pieces from the north and south of the Han Wei Army. The rebel soldiers in the city were killed and wounded, many of them were killed and injured by the collapsed walls and houses, and all the rebel soldiers fell into extreme fear.

At this moment, the battle intent in the heart of Hao Donghu was also completely dissipated in the deafening sound of artillery, and at this time, he also screamed loudly with the rebel soldiers under his command, lying in the corner trembling without any image at all. After all, no matter how much an individual's intelligence and force are too ordinary, they are powerless to resist in the face of a steel storm that cannot be resisted by manpower, and can only be filled with fear from the heart.

After a while, the artillery arrays on the north and south sides of Sword Pavilion City finally stopped, and the pungent gunpowder smoke formed a huge black cloud in the sky above Sword Pavilion City, covering the sky and the sun, and it would not disappear. The rebels in the city were already in a sluggish state at this time, almost all of them were temporarily deaf, and there was only a headache-splitting tinnitus in their ears, and nothing else. The north and south walls of Sword Pavilion City have been turned into two huge ruins under heavy artillery fire, and there are no defensive facilities on the city walls, and even the rolling stone and gold juice and boiling water prepared by the rebel soldiers in advance have disappeared, leaving only the ruins and corpses in one place.

"Pacesetter barracks! Offensive! ”

"Flying Feather Battalion! Offensive! ”

"Wan Sheng! Wansheng! Wansheng! ”

"Wan Sheng! Wansheng! Wansheng! ”

With the orders of Liu Yunwei and Lu Ying, the Pacesetter Battalion and the Feiyu Battalion each dispatched two thousand general battalions and one fire battalion to attack Sword Pavilion City from the north and south at the same time. I saw that the bird gunner rushed towards the city wall quickly, and began to shoot fiercely dozens of steps away from the city wall, shooting and killing the rebel soldiers who had just poked their heads out of the city and looked around. The rest of the melee soldiers quickly rushed to the foot of the city wall with a ladder and began the ant-attached siege.

Liu Yunwei looked at the pacesetter battalion soldiers who were climbing the city wall, and his heart was full of worry. The leading general of the rebel army in the city is a very difficult opponent, and it can be said that he is the most courageous general among the rebels, and if he wants to defeat Sword Pavilion City, the soldiers of each battalion will definitely pay a very heavy price.

"I hope the casualties of the soldiers are not too big!"

Liu Yunwei prayed secretly in his heart, his eyes were always fixed on the city, and he never left for a moment. Guo Yi, Wu Xing, Gao Hongguang, Huang Fuming, Li Tianhao and others next to them also looked at the city wall in the distance with a worried face, and sweated for the soldiers who were attacking the city.

"Big brother, the soldiers seem to have succeeded in landing the city." Gao Hongguang said in disbelief.

"Well, I see it, maybe the rebels want to be close to each other."

"Big brother, it seems that the soldiers rushed down the city wall and killed into the city." Li Tianhao said dumbfounded.

Liu Yunwei also said with straight eyes: "I saw it!" It's also too smooth, there must be something weird! ”

"Look, Chief! The gates are open! Guo Yi rubbed his eyes and said loudly.

Liu Yunwei was also a little confused, but he reacted in a blink of an eye, and immediately shouted loudly: "Long Xiang Iron Cavalry charge!" Kill into the city! ”

The rest of the people also reacted, shouting and shouting to gather their own soldiers. And the dragon horse rushed over with a roar, and killed it in a blink of an eye. It didn't take long for the battle flag of the Sun and Moon Jintao of the Ming Dynasty to rise on the head of the Sword Pavilion City, and Lu Ying's troops in the south also successfully attacked the city.

A great war has come to an end.

However, for Liu Yunwei and others, the final battle of this counterinsurgency war inevitably gave people a feeling of being a tiger and a snake's tail, the tug-of-war and the battle for seizing the city that everyone originally expected were not staged, and the originally expected heavy casualties did not happen, and the soldiers of the Hanwei army successfully defeated the city with only one charge, so that Liu Yunwei and others had a feeling of hitting the cotton with a heavy fist, and everyone's hearts were a little uncomfortable.

Liu Yunwei muttered: "It's over, it's finally over." ”

"Big brother, let's go into the city and discuss how to report to the imperial court!" Li Tianhao said happily.

The rest of the people were also full of red light and echoed one after another. This time, the Hanwei army went to the southwest, and 100,000 soldiers fought bloodily for several months, and finally completely quelled the rebellion of luxury and peace, which is a groundbreaking feat!

Liu Yunwei let out a sigh of relief and said, "Don't be in a hurry in advance to report the victory, let's go to the city first and see how many prisoners have been captured." I'm interested in the leader of this rebel army, and I hope he doesn't die in battle. ”

Half an hour later, under the identification of more than a dozen rebel prisoners, Liu Yunwei and Wu Xing, Lu Ying and other generals found the body of Hao Donghu in a dilapidated house in the city. When the soldiers of the Hanwei Army entered the city, Hao Donghu and dozens of guards committed collective suicide here.

Liu Yunwei looked at this opponent who met for the first time, shook his head slightly, and said: "It's a pity, how good it would be if such a talent was used to expand the territory and defend the country!" It's better than dying here and leaving behind an eternal infamy! ”

Everyone was embarrassed when they heard this.

After the war was over, Liu Yunwei did not stay too long in Jiange City, and after seizing the time to cut off the thumbs of all the prisoners and hand them over to the local government, he led the main force of 80,000 Hanwei troops to the south, and the army arrived outside the north gate of Chengdu after traveling for 12 days.

At this time, Wen Poyu had already learned the news, and led the civil and military officials of Chengdu to meet the triumphant army five miles outside the north gate, and even the king of Shu sent the chief envoy of the palace to come to the labor army.

Liu Yunwei was very happy to see Wen Poyu, who he hadn't seen for a long time, and said: "The siege of Chengdu has been hard work, and this time I want to make a big contribution to the soldiers of the Poyu and Changshui Battalion!" ”

Wen Poyu said with a smile: "The eldest brother has won the award, and the brothers are the ones who have made outstanding achievements, I just fought a few battles in Chengdu, and I can't say that I have any credit." ”

The people exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then they led their troops into the city together. The main army that went south to Chengdu plus the soldiers of the Changshui Battalion has reached nearly 90,000 troops, but fortunately, the school grounds and military barracks in Chengdu are very abundant, and the soldiers can live there.

When the army entered the city, the people of Chengdu poured into the streets, scrambling to see the majestic posture of the counterinsurgency army, and some gentry and wealthy merchants even offered pigs and amniotic water and wine one after another, and the whole city of Chengdu was filled with a strong sense of joy.

After settling the army, Liu Yunwei was about to go home to visit his mother, who he hadn't seen for a long time, and was just about to take Guo Yi and other fifty guards out of the camp, but was stopped by Zhou Tianyi.

"Zongzhen, why don't you go to the Shu King's Mansion to meet the King of Shu?"
