Chapter 460: Danger on Risk

As the largest city in northern China, even during the Qing Dynasty, Beijing's sewage canals were by no means small, and if the silt and garbage in the canals could be cleaned up, six or seven people walking side by side would not actually be too crowded. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

However, even if there was a large amount of garbage and silt blocking the road, it was not difficult for the Qing soldiers to walk in such a sewage tunnel, and they easily touched the rusty iron fence in the middle of the tunnel, and did not need to waste time and effort to destroy the fence, and passed through the too wide crack of the iron fence with one side.

The first to touch the iron fence of the Qing army deputy general Sanxingbao although just by hearing the name knows that it is not a good thing, but the character is very cautious and steady, after the side body easily squeezed through the iron fence, Sanxingbao did not rush out of the dark and foul-smelling underground tunnel to fight with the Wu army, but very carefully let the soldiers sawed a few railings first, so that the Qing soldiers can cross the fence faster and more conveniently to throw troops into the city.

The fierce battle on the ground effectively concealed the sound of the violent friction between the chainsaw and the fence, and the old and decaying iron railing was easily sawed off and bent in the spark splash, losing its blocking effect, and the Qing soldiers also quickly crossed the fence with the faint light of the fire breaker, and gradually assembled on the opposite side of the fence. What made the Sanxing Bao and Qing soldiers ecstatic was that during this period, there was no sound in the direction of the exit of the dark passage, let alone the slightest light, and it was obvious that the Wu soldiers on the ground had not yet discovered their existence.

After opening a passage more than a foot wide, the Qing army commando composed of more than 100 people had all crossed the fence, and Sanxingbao did not delay any longer, and hurriedly sent a signal to the rear, ordering the rear team to launch an assault, while shouting in a deep voice: "Brothers, follow me!" Whether or not we can make meritorious contributions and become rich and noble depends on us! Let's go! ”

After drinking, Sanxingbao once again took the lead, striding forward on the knee-deep thick mud, and rushed to the exit of the underground tunnel, the Qing soldiers behind all looked resolute and firm, and strode with a Colt revolver in each hand to keep up, no one was timid, and no one retreated!

"Right here, this is Shuiguan."

When he was about to walk out of the underground tunnel, a noisy sound suddenly came from the exit of the tunnel, and at the same time, the firelight suddenly appeared at the exit of the tunnel for no reason, and the faint light directly shone into the dark and foul-smelling underground tunnel. Hearing this voice, and seeing a faint but eye-catching abnormal light, Sanxing Bao was struck by lightning, and he didn't understand why Wu Jun suddenly appeared, but he refused to give up, and just yelled, "Brothers, kill!" ”

Shouting, the three stars kept their hair and rushed to the exit with mud all over their bodies, raised their two-handed revolvers, and without saying a word, they shot one after another in the direction from which the noise came. There are really rebellious party thieves! ”

Following the example of Sanxingbao, the Qing soldiers who followed behind also shot at the Wu soldiers with torches as soon as they came out of the dark passage, and the Wu soldiers who had just arrived at the exit of the dark passage were obviously caught off guard, and they could only retreat in a hurry while being shot and screaming one after another, and they had no time to shoot back. The Qing soldiers took the opportunity to rush out of the dark passage one after another and rushed into the open nullah.

"It's okay, there's hope!"

Seeing this scene, Sanxingbao was of course relieved, knowing that the surprise attack of the self-army was still very likely to succeed, and it was possible to cover the rear team to enter the city in large numbers. But at this time, several black and slimy things suddenly fell from the sky, smashing into the crowd of the Qing army and the exit of the secret passage, Samsung Bao didn't react for a while, and subconsciously said in his heart, "What is that?" ”

This self-talk has also become the last thought in Samsung Bao's life, bitter acid grenades exploded one after another, and the flying shrapnel swept across the Qing soldiers at the exit of the dark passage almost in a moment, and a piece of shrapnel was so accurate that it could not be more accurate and shot into the eye socket of Samsung Bao, shooting straight into the brain, instantly making Samsung Bao, who was not a good thing to hear the name, die on the spot.

The situation was urgent, and the soldiers of the Wu army who were killed in a hurry did not have time to stingy with the picric grenades that could not be supplied, and they continued to throw no less than twenty picric grenades to the exit of the underground tunnel, although the result was a lot of waste, but it effectively blocked the path of the Qing army commando, and the flying shrenchel directly swept the Qing soldiers at the dark passage, and the high-temperature flame unique to the picric acid weapon also formed a sea of fire at the exit, blocking the path of the Qing soldiers, and also making the Qing soldiers hiding in the dark have nowhere to hide.

Taking this opportunity, the Wu soldiers quickly made adjustments, shot at the exit of the secret passage one after another, shot and killed the Qing soldiers who tried to charge against the fire, the Qing soldiers were killed and wounded, and the Wu soldiers quickly carried all kinds of sundries and threw them into the exit of the secret passage, and quickly blocked this damn secret passage that almost led to the direct ** of the Wu army in Henan, the Qing soldiers sacrificed their lives to charge several times, and were repelled by the intensive firepower of the Wu soldiers, and the sacrificed Qing soldiers and the seriously injured Qing soldiers also directly became the blockage of the secret passage.

The Qing army commando led by Sanxingbao is actually considered lucky, the fastest action at least won a chance to rush out of the underground tunnel, the Qing army commando along the East River was called a little back, just because the action was a little slower, and the Wu army soldiers rushed to the exit of the underground tunnel to guard first, no soldier has been directly repelled if he failed to break out of the dark passage, and the exit of the secret passage that the official and Qing soldiers had high hopes for was quickly blocked by all kinds of debris, and it was difficult to get close to an inch. It is even more impossible to enter the middle of the city, and the Qing army outside the city will enter the city.

Because of the distance, the situation of the Qing army commandos on both sides of the Piku camp and the North Mutton Hutong was better, and it was only after the front team had rushed out of the underground tunnel that the Wu army team hurried to fill the leak, and also relied on the relatively sophisticated equipment to kill the Wu army soldiers by surprise, and repelled the Wu army's hastily launched assault several times, temporarily protecting the rear team's road into the city.

However, it is a pity that after the officers and men of the Wu army adjusted and began to frantically open the way with bitter acid grenades at any cost, the Qing army commando led by Wang Shiyi and Dechun gradually began to struggle, and after receiving the urgent reports of these two battlefields at the same time, Zhu Hongzhang, who commanded the reserves of the Wu army, did not hesitate, and immediately sent the main force of two battalions to reinforce respectively, and also brought grenadiers to help the battle.

The gunfire and artillery sound above and below the city were more intensive, and it was found that there was a change in the city, not to mention the Qing army Ha Feng'a and Zhang Desheng, who were responsible for attacking Chongwenmen and Xuanwumen, attacked with red eyes and all their might, and even the monk and prince seized the fighter plane, yelled and threw all the reserves, and frantically attacked the defense line of the Wu army's Zhengyangmen.

The scale of the fierce battle and the intensity of the battle in the south of the city have also expanded sharply, and the battle has directly entered the white heat, the Qing soldiers yelled and rushed to the city to climb the ladder under the city, and the soldiers of the Wu army were frantically shooting down the stones, shooting and smashing the Qing soldiers who tried to rush to the top of the city wall, while worrying about the war in the city, morale and fighting spirit were inevitably greatly affected, coupled with the fact that there was no change of defense and physical strength declined, it naturally gave the Qing soldiers more opportunities, not only the Zhengyangmen battlefield, Even on the two battlefields of Chongwenmen and Xuanwumen, which the Wu army had been strictly guarding, Qing soldiers began to rush to the city wall.

Hearing the battle report ahead, the Manchu magnates such as Devil Six, Hui Lao Wang Ye and Alcohol Wang Ye were of course all overjoyed and cheered, but the old fox of Guanwen was silent, and he was still very calm and did not rush to invest in all the reserves, but only sent a support army to Xuanwumen and Chongwenmen to help in the battle, but the rest of the reserves still did not move.

"Chen Guorui, our greatest hope is still you, don't let the old man down."

When the old fox of the official text said this sentence to himself, great news suddenly came - the Qing army Zhang Desheng seized the fighter plane and successfully blew up the urn gate of Xuanwu Gate with gunpowder! When the official Wen heard the news, he jumped up and hammered the table and shouted: "Go and give Zhang Desheng an order, tell him to rush inside at any cost, put pressure on the Wu thief, and force the Wu thief to put in the reserve team to Xuanwumen!" ”

The herald rushed away, and Guan Wen sat back on the handsome chair, gritted his teeth and said: "Chen Guorui, the old man has given you all the cover I can give you!" Whether you can recapture the capital of the Qing Dynasty or not is up to you! ”

…………

During the day, Chen Guorui's troops, who were ordered to harass guerrilla harassment in northern Mancheng, ostensibly only to contain the Wu army and force the Wu army to disperse their forces, but in fact it seriously paralyzed the defensive psychology of the Wu army, including Zeng Guoquan, who believed that this Qing army was the least to fear, and never paid special attention to it. And after the evening, as Chen Guorui's troops died down and no longer harassed by guerrillas, the Wu army did not take this enemy into account, and almost forgot the existence of this enemy.

After dark, under the cover of the night and the houses outside the city, Chen Guorui secretly divided the army into three teams, the first team of two battalions secretly lurked outside the Fahua Nunnery, and the second team of two battalions went south to the south of Chaoyang Gate to ambush near the underground tunnel of Zhugan Lane Hutong, and Chen Guorui led the main force to ambush near the underground tunnel of Nanshui Hutong next to Dongzhimen, and started at the same time during the time period required by the official document.

These three waterways are far away from the main position of the Wu army, except for the underground tunnel of Fahua Nunnery, the remaining two places have never appeared in the Qing army soldiers during the day, not only the defenders are not vigilant enough, but also even the main force of the Wu army There are not a few, so it is natural, even if there is no gunfire and artillery cover on the south gate battlefield, the Qing army commandos who marched on the three roads have all successfully infiltrated the underground tunnels, and unknowingly touched the city of Beijing, and seized the position to cover the rear team to advance.

It's a pity that what Guan Wen and Chen Guorui didn't expect was that Zeng Guoquan and Zhang Zhidong would discover their sneak attack plan at the last moment, so although they had considered it before, they were not worried about a point that suddenly appeared - Ding Ruchang's Wu cavalry suddenly attacked, and under the leadership of the traitors in the city, the troops rushed to fill the gap and plug the leak in three ways. So......

"There is an enemy!"

"Wu thief cavalry!"

The soldiers of the Qing army and the cavalry of the Wu army who encountered it in a hurry let out a heart-rending exclamation at the same time, and the fierce gunfight began, and the cavalry of the Wu army opened fire with long guns and short guns, supplemented by the explosion of picric grenades, which caused the rear team of the Qing army that was entering the city to be killed and wounded again and again, and the chickens and dogs jumped. The Qing soldiers, who had already seized the favorable terrain, also opened fire frantically, and the Wu cavalry also turned on their backs, killing and wounding.

In the street battle, the cavalry and the enemy's infantry fight, for the usual, the Wu cavalry led by Ding Ruchang will certainly not do such a stupid thing, but the matter has come to this point, no matter how much the loss of money is not done, it has to be done, it is extremely difficult to train qualified Wu cavalry officers and soldiers to follow one after another, forgetting their lives, urging the horse to just rush forward, the firing pin gun is not loaded to change the revolver, the revolver gun is changed after the revolver bullet is finished, and at the same time a large number of bitter acid grenades are thrown, frantically blocking the exit of the underground tunnel, blocking the road of the Qing soldiers into the city.

Thanks to the fact that the cavalry of the Wu army is mostly veterans, the most loyal and reliable, and at the same time the best equipment and the most experienced, otherwise it is a fool's dream to re-plug the gap when the Qing soldiers have entered the city in large numbers, but even so, the cavalry of the Wu army still paid a great price of casualties in order to rush to the exit of the underground tunnel to block the gap, and then had to fight fiercely with the enemy in the city under the condition of being extremely unfamiliar with the terrain, while carrying debris to block the road, during which the casualties were naturally greater and more, and it was very difficult to fight.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, the Wu army auxiliaries who had been unreliable finally played a role, under the command of the Wu army veterans, the Wu army auxiliaries continued to throw all kinds of debris from the city to help fill the leak, which greatly accelerated the speed of the Wu army cavalry to block the underground tunnel, and finally successfully blocked the gap of the debris, and most of them were sheep's head stones thrown by the Wu army auxiliaries from the city.

The underground tunnel of Zhugan Lane, which is closest to the main position of the Wu army, was first blocked by the Wu army, and then with the help of the defenders of Dongzhimen, the cavalry of the Wu army successfully blocked the dark passage of Nanshui Hutong where Chen Guorui personally supervised the main attack after paying a heavy price. However, after the cavalry of the Wu army freed up their hands to reinforce the Fahua Nunnery battlefield, the Fahua Nunnery, which had not been paid special attention to by the Qing army, was not a big problem.

…………

At the same time, the South Gate battlefield has also entered a critical moment to determine life and death, after the Xuanwu Gate and Chongwen Gate of the urn city gate were blown up by the Qing army, Zeng Guoquan had to put his last reserve into the South City battlefield, and at the same time personally led the headquarters battalion to the noon gate fortification, ready to cover the Wu army soldiers to withdraw into the Forbidden City, abandon the inner city and only defend the Forbidden City.

Thank God, thank God for the monk and the prince, at the moment of life and death, the monk army, which had been fighting for a day, had a serious decline in physical strength and excessive casualties, and also in the case that the Wu army Zhang Shiri no longer had any reservations, the first to drop the chain and be completely defeated, scrambling to escape across the moat to reorganize the army, Wu Army Zhang Shiri also took the opportunity to breathe, readjust the deployment, Zeng Guoquan sent to Zhang Shiri's reserve Li Chendian's department was also able to withdraw, and rushed to the Qing army to storm the battlefield reinforcements of Chongwenmen.

Li Chendian's army first rushed to the exit of the underground tunnel on the west side of Chongwenmen, which was in the most critical situation, and the red-eyed rush was killed, when the revolver bullets ran out and the rifle was too late to load, Li Chendian's army also launched a white-knives battle with the Qing army's Wang Shiyi Department, and at the same time, Li Chendian himself also fought with Wang Shiyi, a young famous general of the Qing army, on the battlefield, each carrying a saber and cutting each other, fighting so dark that the sun and the moon were dark.

The result of the hand-to-hand combat of the main general was that Wang Shiyi was the first to cut the left side of Li Chendian's chest, and the oblique saber directly cut Li Chendian's ribs twice, but Wang Shiyi was seriously crazy Li Chendian, the madness of this little madman, and he did not dodge or dodge the knife in the critical point, and took the opportunity to grab Wang Shiyi's braid with his left hand, and stabbed Wang Shiyi's heart with a saber in his right hand, stabbing a heart-piercing in Wang Shiyi's heart!

There was blood gushing in his mouth, Wang Shiyi leaned back and wanted to fall, the Qing soldiers beside him screamed and pounced to rescue it was too late, Li Chendian's personal soldiers had already rushed to the knife and slashed, caught them and cut Wang Shiyi over at the same time, Li Chendian, who was also seriously injured, also sat on the ground with a butt, and when he wiped the wound on his left rib, Li Chendian's blood-stained face was still full of obscene smiles, and he was still muttering to himself coughing up blood in his mouth, "With this knife, Jiushuai must at least reward me with twenty chaotic party girls to enjoy, right?" ”

After Wang Shiyi was stabbed to death by Li Chendian himself, the leaderless Qing soldiers finally couldn't withstand the crazy rush of the Wu army soldiers and were forced to abandon their positions and flee.

blocked the damn secret passage on the side of the Piku camp, and the Wu soldiers who were free out of their hands didn't even have time to breathe, and immediately divided their troops to go to the city to help the battle, and at the same time, the Wu soldiers on the Xuanwu Gate City were also encouraged, and everyone stepped forward with great morale, killing and repelling the ants and enemies while strictly protecting the inner city gate, and finally withstood this round of crazy attack of the Qing army.

At the same time, with the reinforcement of the reserves, the soldiers of the Wu army finally blocked the underground passage on the side of Chongwenmen, cut off the way for the Qing army to directly invest troops in the city, and continued to immediately enter the city to participate in the battle, meet the Qing soldiers who were crazy ants attached to the city, and help the Wu army of Chongwenmen stabilize the already crumbling defense line.

In the middle of the night, Ding Ruchang's side finally sent a message to Zeng Guoquan, saying that the underground passage on the side of Fahua Nunnery had also been blocked, and although there were still some remnants of enemies in the city, there was nothing to fear. Hearing this news, Zeng Guoquan collapsed directly on the snow in front of the noon gate, wiping his face full of sweat and shaking his head and sighing, "Dangerous!" Danger on top of risk! ”

On the side of the Qing army, when the news that the seven underground tunnels were blocked by the Wu army was sent to Guan Wen, Guan Wen's face was like ashes, his fingers trembled, and then he suddenly opened his mouth and spurted out a mouthful of blood, and the person fainted directly. When the devil six and the others shouted and woke him up, the seven lives of the official document had already gone to six, and he whispered like gold paper: "Lord Wang, the minions are no good, and the minions have no choice, so we can only let our army attack day and night, let'......s see our luck." ”

has been under tremendous pressure alone, and has been enduring the huge blow of the whole family being killed and eaten by the corpses, under the exhaustion of mental strength, Guan Wenqiang just finished saying this paragraph, blood spurted out of his mouth again, and the person passed out again, and the devil Liuhe and the alcohol prince and others looked at each other, and said with a bitter face: "It's easy to continue to attack the city day and night, but we don't know how to command?" Do you want to ask the monk and the prince? ”
