Chapter 123: The city is broken

The division commander was most worried about these things, just like he talked to Deputy Division Commander Qin before the war, the situation he predicted that the Qing army's offensive would be weak did not come, or that it would come much later than he expected.

20,000 against 1,000, the Qing army did not rush to attack the city, the Qing army took turns to rest and attack in turns, and they could be consumed to death by just consumption.

This is an old method, the Qing army gave full play to the numerical advantage, this one method is enough, not to mention that the Qing army did not just use this trick, for example, this time stealing the city in the middle of the night, maybe the gong sounded a little later, the Qing army may have climbed to the top of the city, the Qing army is not a fool, at least not every one of them.

The division commander took the opportunity to take a breath to look at the wounded, and Deputy Division Commander Qin came over and asked, "Division commander, are we sending a second wave of messengers for help, if we can't hold on, how can we be worthy of the general?" ”

The division commander frowned: "Since the envoy for help has been dispatched, the general already knows the situation on our side, what use can it be to send the envoy except to cause chaos to the general?" In case the general misjudged the form of war here and caused his plan to fail, then we are sorry for the general, and we can rest assured that I can't break the city. ”

Deputy Division Commander Qin's face turned dark, his eyes were a little erratic, and the division commander looked at him and asked with a smile: "Deputy Division Commander Qin, I heard that your mother-in-law gave you a teapot spout, and you can be a father when you go back after this battle, right?" ”

Deputy Division Commander Qin was stunned for a moment, a touch of warmth leaked from his face, and he nodded stupidly: "I don't know what it is, you said that I didn't know how the two of them were doing after coming out for so long?" ”

The division commander patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, there is a general who will not treat our family badly, the general treats us like a mountain, and takes care of the family for us, how can we not serve well on the front line!" ”

Deputy Division Commander Qin looked at the division commander's eyes, and the division commander also looked at him with a smile, looking at the two of them laughing, Deputy Division Commander Qin scolded: "Afraid of a ball!" Lao Tzu's Qin family also has a queen, Lao Tzu's life was given by the general, and it will be returned to the general here! ”

The division commander looked at the back of Deputy Division Qin for a long time, and fell into deep thought, Deputy Division Commander Qin was rescued by Li Qingyuan from Linqing City, not an old brother who came out of Tucheng, this person who surrendered once I don't know if he will surrender for the second time?

The division commander mentioned his family and Li Qingyuan's kindness just to wake him up, but whether he could wake up or how long he could wake up was not sure.

The battle was fought intermittently for ten days, more than half of the troops in the city of the third division were killed and wounded, the division commander had begun to organize the people to assist in defending the city, some houses in the city were demolished and wood was made of rolling wood, bricks were thrown directly down the city wall to smash people, and the rations in the city also began to restrict the supply, the division commander looked at Deputy Division Commander Qin more and more anxious, and kept muttering for ten days... There are still twenty days or something like that, and the division commander is also starting to be a little worried, and now he doesn't dare to leave the city wall, especially at night, and he is not letting Deputy Division Commander Qin guard the city.

But he had limited experience alone, and now he was in a trance every day not knowing when he would fall.

On the eleventh day, the Qing army began to line up after breakfast as usual, the tall shield cart slowly pushed up, the Qing army hid behind the shield cart and advanced towards the city wall, and after a hundred meters away from the city wall, the long ladder began to burst out from the gap in the shield cart, and the soldiers on the city wall also began to shoot the soldiers who resisted the ladder, and the offensive and defensive battle of the day began again.

Just when the division commander thought that everything was the same as usual, suddenly the division commander saw a flash of fire on his left, and then the city wall under his feet trembled, and then a rumbling sound came, and the division commander turned his head to look, and the city wall on the left was blown up with something, and the division commander's mind was blank, and the city was broken!

Judging from the destructive effect, the Qing army is also an explosives bag, and the charge is much more luxurious than Li Qingyuan's side, war is the catalyst of science and technology, and technology on the battlefield is the fastest spread, the Qing army has been broken by Li Qingyuan with explosives more than once, and now they have returned it with the same method.

The Qing army immediately cheered when they saw that the city wall was broken, and the Qing army was like a flood that found a gap, rushing towards the crack in the city wall, and the division commander was stunned for a while and came to his senses, and immediately shouted: "The third battalion stays to guard the city wall, and the fourth and fifth companies stay to guard the city wall, and the others follow me to the city to block the Qing army back!" Brothers fight with them! ”

The Qing army under the city also beat the drums of war, sending more troops to attack the other city walls to attract troops from the city and prevent the enemy from sending more people to plug the gap.

The two sides immediately fell into a bloody battle, and Deputy Division Commander Qin came up and grabbed the division commander: "Division Commander, the city is broken, let's break through the siege quickly!" ”

The division commander shook him off: "The city is here, I won't leave!" No one is allowed to leave! Whoever goes, I'll kill him, and I'll drive the Qing army out! ”

Deputy Division Commander Qin shouted again: "Division Commander, even if it is not for us, our brothers can't die in the city in vain, you see they have done their best!" The generals don't blame them, they've done their best ...

The division commander looked at the crowd that was a little shaken by the Qin shareholders and sighed and said: "Deputy Division Commander Qin, I hope you will bring our brothers back well, I hope you don't go the wrong way, think about your family, think about the general's kindness!" If you are willing to go with Deputy Division Commander Qin, go to the north gate and assemble at the north gate..."

The division commander took a short hammer and looked at the division commander and walked away without looking back, looking at his bleak back, a soldier followed, spit out and scolded: "Damn's head fell off the bowl, the big scar is afraid of a bird!" After finishing speaking, he immediately followed with a gun, and the other didn't say anything but looked at Deputy Division Commander Qin and the others with disdain, then the third and fourth, and finally there were only more than ten people left around Deputy Division Commander Qin, Deputy Division Commander Qin's face changed and changed, how could these people rush out...

Just as Deputy Division Commander Qin was hesitating and didn't know whether to take the last step, suddenly there were gunshots outside the city, and then the city wall cheered, "Reinforcements are coming!" Reinforcements! "Commander! Look at the reinforcements! ”

The division commander couldn't see anything under the city, but listening to the familiar gunshots, he knew that this was their troops, the Qing army was attacked from front to back, and the pressure of the gap immediately decreased sharply, and the division commander took the opportunity to board the city again, only to see a conspicuous large phalanx in the Qing army slowly moving towards the city wall, and the Qing army encountered dissipated like rolling soup and pouring snow, and the division commander was eager to take people to kill out immediately, but the troops in the city were exhausted and indeed weak.

The city wall has not been laid, and reinforcements came from outside the city, although the Qing army's reaction was half a beat slower, but it still reacted.

The division commander saw that there were only 1,000 troops entering the city, and only more than 100 truckloads of supplies were brought in, so he couldn't help frowning, what can he do with such a small number of people, but after seeing the people who led the team, he immediately whispered with trembling lips: "General!" What are you doing here? ”
