Chapter 348: Suzhou Storm (II)
"Marshal, General Xue has already led the army to attack it." Liu Xuan watched the fighting sound at the south gate from a distance, and understood that the battle on the front line had turned into an advantageous stage, so he beckoned his guards to lead the war horse and said, "Marshal, we should go to Ju Yanze's side." ”
"It's hard to repeat the war in Suzhou." Wan Yi nodded, got on his horse, and quickly headed towards the north where Ju Yanze was located with his personal guards. At this time, at the south gate of Suzhou, Xue Wanli arrived as soon as possible and quickly replaced the Flying Eagle Brigade, which had suffered a lot of casualties, and took over the battlefield. After the arrival of the team, Su Xiaohu quickly retreated with the remaining men and horses of the Flying Eagle Brigade regardless of his injuries, looking for Zhao Si and the members of the Dragon Group who had been lurking. The battle has been fought so far, with the entry of the Tiance army into the city, most of the main forces of the Guiyi army have begun to fight back desperately, and it is the best time to implement Zhao Si's plan at this time. So for the Flying Eagle Brigade, the battle has only just begun.
However, Xue Wanli's entry into the city brought another twist to Shi Jian's battle outside the city, and the south gate with Xue Wanli's entry made the Guiyi army outside the city suddenly realize, and under the strong attack of Shi Jian, he sent his powerful subordinates to begin to besiege the rear army of Xue Wanli's army, so that the Tiance army outside the city was divided into two ways and started a big battle with the Guiyi army. And in the darkness of the night, the firepower advantage of the Tiance Army that used the encounter could not be maximized, so Xue Wanli's reserve troops were beaten and retreated in a short period of time, and the South City Gate was even more intense during this time period. This situation was discovered by Xue Wanli, who entered the city to command the street battle, and immediately dispatched Li Lisan to feel the city gate, and began to command the siege corps to counterattack on the spot, and took the retreating Tiance army soldiers to the vicinity of the city gate, relying on the city gate to start firing counterattack, and after countless Tiance soldiers used the rifles in their hands to shoot continuously regardless of their own casualties, they began to build a position on the spot after slightly repelling the opponent to deal with the reinforcements of the Guiyi army.
At this time, Shi Jian's side had already guessed the other party's intentions when the Guiyi Army deployed troops to besiege the South City Gate, so the whole army pressed on, and unlike the Entering City Corps that could not get artillery support, Shi Jian's troops were the richest troops in firepower tonight, hundreds of artillery pieces not only covered the entire position of the Guiyi Army, Shi Jian also transferred some artillery to start supporting the South City Gate, but in the darkness Shi Jian and the artillery troops could not judge where the specific position of the Tiance Army was, Therefore, he could only command the artillery to bombard the central part of the attack of the large army of the Guiyi army, although this move greatly killed and injured the living force of the Guiyi army, but in a short period of time, it could not affect the vanguard of the Guiyi army, which had been ordered to go all out to attack the main force in the city.
Shi Jian's side gradually gained the upper hand with the support of artillery, and the soldiers of the Modao battalion moved quickly, gradually attacking the main position of the Guiyi army, relying on cold weapons such as arrows and knives and guns to compete with the muskets of the Tiance Army in the field. Relatively speaking, the Modao battalion was the first corps to enter the counteroffensive.
However, at this time, Xue Wanli in the city was facing the greatest pressure since the start of the war, after the rear army was pinned down at the city gate, almost half of his troops were only half, that is, a corps that Qian Ning was in, plus about 10,000 people under his own command, which added up to 40,000 people, but they had to face nearly twice as many opponents in an unfamiliar environment. Obviously, Li Mingzhen and others of the Guiyi Army had adjusted their deployment when they realized that the South City Gate could not be counterattacked, and used the narrow and unfamiliar environment in Suzhou City to trap the Tiance Army. This is also the most important reason why Zhao Si decided to snipe Li Mingzhen in the end.
However, at this time, the best news that the Tiance army divided its troops to bring to Xue Wanli should be that Li Tianyi on the side of Juyanze on the northern front attacked in time, and together with Zhang Sheng's Anxi battalion, the main force of the Uighurs and Longjia troops who were originally going to be transferred to the city to block Xue Wanli was contained outside the city gate, and even part of the Guiyi army stationed in Juyanze was also contained here.
In order to open the situation as quickly as possible and respond to the battle situation in the city, Li Tianyi directly assumed that the mechanical crossbow troops brought by his army were bombarded by the Uighur cavalry troops who were trying to counterattack, and the rapid explosion and the sound of metal breaking through the air would directly and completely collapse the first wave of cavalry attacks, and with the continuous extension of the attack, Li Tianyi fought a counterattack from the beginning, with Zhang Sheng's Anxi battalion as the vanguard, and the brigade began to act step by step, and the previous three-three system of warfare was displayed on the ground. Step by step, the other party is compressed in the narrow area between Suzhou and Juyanze. As the Tiance army pressed forward step by step, the narrow terrain restrictions allowed these people to shrink into a group of cavalry, and the advantage was suppressed unlimitedly.
"Tianyi, order a battalion of your reserve force to immediately follow the guide of Xuanyingwei and bypass them, block their back road for me, and don't let Pang Teqin and the Uighurs go." Wan Yi's timely arrival drew Li Tianyi, who was ready to charge at the front line, and allowed him to deploy troops in time to block the enemy's rear road outside the city, and this move also completely destroyed the last hope of the Ganzhou Uighurs. This is also the reason why Wan Yi rushed over after waiting for Xue Wanli to rush into the city gate, originally encircling three queyi can save time to the greatest extent, but at this time, there is no way, so he can only surround on all sides.
However, at this time, Pang Teqin and others had not yet reacted, because he had already seen the firepower of the Tiance army when he was in Ganzhou before, so he didn't think that the Tiance army would surround them for a while, so they immediately organized troops to start a counterattack after the first wave of attacks were broken by the Tiance army. Coalition forces outside the city are also desperately rushing forward. As for the method they have researched to deal with the firepower of the Tiance Army, that is, to rush forward and engage in short-handed combat, relying on the advantage of cold weapons at close range to offset the gap in the equipment of the Tiance Army. This is especially evident on Xue Wanli's side, and even Xue Wanli was suppressed for a while. It wasn't until the Guiyi army outside the city was counterattacked by Shi Jian that they couldn't step forward to hold back the rear army of the siege corps, and after Li Lisan led the army and Xue Wanli to converge, he suppressed the opponent's counterattack after having 30,000 more troops.
At this time, the situation of the two sides fighting in Suzhou City was staggered, and the street battles in some areas had begun to advance after the troops were replenished and reinforced, and the most fierce part of the directly subordinate troops had even penetrated into the center of the city, so the Flying Eagle Brigade that carried out the sniper mission under the leadership of Su Xiaohu walked through it with difficulty for more than half an hour before touching the agreed location with Zhao Si, but at this time, this joint site that was originally located near the main house of the Long family in Suzhou had been occupied by the army of the Guiyi Army at this time. Li Mingzhen, the commander of the Guiyi Army, led a group of senior generals to turn this place into a temporary military camp, and various orders were quickly conveyed to the previous troops to command the counterattack.
"What about the dragons? How did this become a barracks? I remember that the camp in the city of the Guiyi army was not in Xicheng? Su Xiaohu didn't care about the arrow wound on his left arm and pulled Zhao Si and asked, to be honest, the task of sniping is really not completed by relying on the Flying Eagle Brigade alone without the Dragon Group and the Dark Guard, there is no way that the Flying Eagle Brigade has basically cooperated with Xuan Yingwei to perform other tasks during this time, and now he doesn't even know what Li Mingzhen looks like, and looking at the posture, Li Mingzhen directly moved the camp to the main house of the Long family, which is not the meaning of giving himself the greatest protection in addition to shocking the main manpower of the Long family.
"I'll leave this to me, you don't have to worry about it, when the time comes, you can just let your most elite marksmen follow the dragon group to set up sniper locations. No, why are you hurt? Zhao Si was originally going to continue talking, but suddenly found the injuries on Su Xiaohu's body and couldn't help but ask with concern. Because the Flying Eagle Brigade is basically under Hu Xiaosi's control, the relationship between Su Xiaohu and Hu Xiaosi's generals is very familiar.
Su Xiaohu waved his hand to signal that he was out of the way, took his words and said: "Have you chosen the sniper location, find a way to implement it as soon as possible, Xue Wanli's side is very difficult, kill Li Mingzhen as soon as possible, and then we will find a way to defeat their command system, so that the Guiyi Army will inevitably be in chaos." If they are in chaos, those old men of the Long family will have a chance to break away from the control of the Guiyi Army. ”
Zhao Si saw him say this, and he didn't say anything else, waved his hand, arranged for Long Wu and the others under his command to start arranging the four sniper locations arranged in advance with the sharpshooters of the Flying Eagle Brigade. At the same time, countless Xuanying Guard Dark Guards also came from the darkness one after another at this time, and began to go to other places with the remaining members of the Dragon Group and the remaining manpower of the Flying Eagle Brigade, and according to the arrangement of the two supreme commanders, they were ready to attack the command system at all levels of the Guiyi Army. Therefore, in just half a tea hour, the hundreds of soldiers of the Flying Eagle Brigade brought by Su Xiaohu were only about 20 of Su Xiaohu's personal guards. Seeing that all the arrangements had been activated, Su Xiaohu smiled and said, "Let's go, take me to observe your achievements over the past few days, what kind of ability does that Long Yi you value?" Didn't you lose your armor and abandon your armor before being beaten by Shi Jian? I see, when it comes to our realm, because of the problem of vision and height, many people, even if they are better than us in intelligence and talent, will not be our opponents now. ”
For Su Xiaohu's words, Zhao Si didn't think it was strange, from their point of view now, it was indeed as Su Xiaohu said, even if someone had higher intellectual talent than us, many people would not be their opponents, this was already a matter of vision and the height of looking at affairs. Therefore, Zhao Si didn't answer, and directly took Su Xiaohu around and around, bypassing the heavily guarded Guiyi soldiers outside, and sneaked into the main house of the Long family. After the war in Suzhou was completed, Li Mingzhen of the Guiyi Army turned this place into a large camp, which was equivalent to directly putting everyone in the Long family under house arrest.
"You see that is Long Yi, a very good young man, in the chaos, he can still pull his own people around him, as long as there is a change in the Guiyi army, they will definitely be able to rush out, and Long Yi is not without a backhand, the group of people who went out from the Long family army before anyway are this kid's subordinates, at this critical moment, they must have lurked into the city, so even if we don't save him, the Long family has their own means." Zhao Si nodded and said: "However, the rest of the Long family is not an idle person, Long Xuan and even the head of the Long family are the same, but their means are not what our empire needs, and the means of governing the country are not weights." ”
"Forget it, after being rescued, send it to Chang'an, and then have their own emperor and prime minister and they have a headache, let's just do our own thing." Su Xiaohu waved his hand and signaled Zhao Si not to continue the introduction, he came to know people, and he didn't care about the others at all. So after looking at the sky and calculating the time, he nodded at Zhao Si, and a personal guard behind him immediately hurriedly walked out, accompanied by several secret guards beside Zhao Si. Xuan Yingwei's plan had been prepared for so long and finally began to be implemented, only to hear the original orderly orders passed to the front, and the command center of the Guiyi Army, which was commanding the Guiyi Army to resist the Tiance Army to the death, suddenly heard four crisp gunshots, and then an uproar began to come out.
"I guess it's done. Li Mingzhen is dead, and he is targeted by four marksmen at the same time, even the king of heaven and Lao Tzu can't hook it back. Su Xiaohu smiled after hearing the chaos: "Then look at the following, their top level must be in chaos now, and they can't take care of the front line in a short time, and it's a good time for my Flying Eagle Brigade to make a move." With Su Xiaohu's words, at this time, all the commanders, heralds, and trumpeters of the Guiyi Army from the command center to the front line were shot by the Flying Eagle Brigade, and along with the death of these people, other substitutes were also killed on the ground, and the killing of these people brought a great evil result to the Guiyi Army on the front line, and the loss of these people will only be connected, and the Guiyi Army on the front line quickly fell into a situation of fighting separately, and the evil result of fighting separately in the street battle is that the front line does not get strong support from the rear, As a result, Xue Wanli's troops took advantage of the loophole. It can be said that this attack of the Flying Eagle Brigade hit the weakness of the Guiyi Army and quickly supported Xue Wanli's siege battle. Moreover, these people did not leave after killing the command system of the Guiyi Army, but stared at the same place, and continued to attack the opponent's follow-up manpower.
And just when Xue Wanli's side began to advance rapidly, the sharpshooters of the Flying Eagle Brigade after sniping Li Mingzhen swept away the senior generals in the Guiyi Army's marshal tent in a short period of time, and then took advantage of the chaos in the opponent's center to get out and join Su Xiaohu.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the Guiyi Army is trying to compete with the Central Plains Tang Dynasty in disregard of the mandate of heaven, this is the way to die. We and the children of the Long family cannot be sacrificed by the Guiyi Army against the Central Dynasty, so those who know each other will go to Beicheng with me to recover the Long Family Army and return to the Tang Dynasty. "The chaos of the Guiyi Army's big tent was together, and Long Yi, Long Xuan and others immediately knew that this eighty percent was the Tiance Army's shot. Long Yi and Long Xuan glanced at each other, then quickly got up and began to leave the main residence of the Long family with their descendants and head towards the northern city. And Long Xuan and the others saw Zhao Si, who had met with Zen Master Huixin before.
"Let's sit down in the main house of the Long family, and wait for my Tiance army to achieve great achievements tonight." Zhao Si looked at Long Xuan, didn't care about what the rest of the Long family thought of him, and said with a smile. It's just that he came out, but Su Xiaohu, who was with him before, disappeared at this time.
"Don't you think it's not above board enough for the Tiance Army to rely on intrigues and tricks to achieve its goals?" At this time, the head of the Long family, who had been sitting still, suddenly got up and said, the harsh words made Zhao Si's eyes froze, and his eyes became a little cold.
