【1043 Siege of the Chinese Army】

Chu Jun wants to escape, where can he escape?

Because Zuo Zongtang was reluctant to throw away the infantry, if he just led the cavalry to escape, he would really become a horse bandit in the future. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Withdraw it." Zuo Zongtang glanced at the Chinese army with torches in all directions, and sighed.

Liu Jintang sighed and said: "Marshal, you can't delay, brothers in the infantry army, let them figure out their own way, let's take the cavalry to fight out of the encirclement first!" ”

"What can they do?" Zuo Zongtang said angrily. "You'll find a way to show me."

Liu Jintang sighed, and had to give an order to the deputy generals on the left and right, "The marshal has an order, all of them are withdrawn." ”

In this way, Zuo Zongtang's overnight escape plan died in less than an hour.

"Push the artillery up, the artillery fire covers all the walls of Xi'an, don't hit a section, make the momentum bigger, but you have to tell the artillery battalion that you are not allowed to hit the shells into the city, and you are willing to fall outside the city, and if you can't hit, it is better than hitting the houses of the people!" Xuan Jianzhang held the binoculars and observed the movements of the Chu army, and said to the chief of staff of the division beside him.

"Yes, Master." The chief of staff of the division hurriedly stood up and went to convey the order.

The artillery battalion of the 1st Field Division of the Chinese Army immediately moved forward in accordance with Xuan Jianzhang's instructions, aiming the artillery bombardment at the entire city defense of Xi'an, instead of striking at a single position.

After a night of commotion, the people of Xi'an originally knew that the Chu army wanted to escape, but they didn't expect to be forced back by the Chinese army?

Originally, the common people had already turned around, thinking that the Chu army was gone, this Shaanxi, sooner or later, would be from Huaguo, and it would be good to be able to stop fighting like this, who knew that the Chu army ran back again?

At this time, the common people were even more disgusted with the Chu army, and if they couldn't beat it, they surrendered, and what did they do with the people of the whole city?

The artillery of the 1st Field Division of the Chinese Army waited until noon this time to survey the distance clearly, mainly because Xuan Jianzhang strictly ordered that the houses of the common people could not be hit, and only the city walls were allowed to be bombarded, so the distance must be surveyed carefully and a clearer map of the city defense must be drawn.

"One hundred and fifty guns, each gun, one shell every ten minutes, an hour is 900 shells, two hours." Xuan Jianzhang said to the commander of the artillery battalion, "In the future, we will follow this standard every day, as long as Zuo Zongtang does not surrender, the artillery will be routinely fired for two hours." ”

The commander of the artillery battalion nodded and said with a smile: "Division, this has become a firecracker, but this firecracker is too expensive." ”

Zuo Zongtang was taking a nap, but he couldn't sleep, he should have been on the way to Gansu now, through Gansu, to Qinghai, to go around in circles with the Chinese army in the wasteland, in Qinghai, Xinjiang, and even to the periphery of Mongolia and Central Asian provinces, he didn't believe that the Chinese army could do anything to him.

Zuo Zongtang was thinking about his thoughts.

Boom Boom!

The shelling of the Chinese army began.

In the sky outside the window, there was the sound of shrill cannonballs cutting through the air, accompanied by long arcs.

Daytime shelling?

Originally, the Chinese army generally attacked with artillery at night, mainly to cover the attacking troops and reduce casualties, and this was the first time that they chose to attack at noon.

The common people in the entire city of Xi'an were frightened, thinking that the Chinese army was going to attack the city in a big way!

Zuo Zongtang sat up all of a sudden: ran to the door barefoot, and said loudly: "Quickly give the order, hold on, hold on!" ”

"Yes, Marshal." The guards hurriedly went down to give orders.

"Damn the Chinese army, don't let people live?" Zuo Zongtang said indignantly.

At the moment, it seems that Zuo Zongtang either chooses to flee with a small group of cavalry, or there is only one way left to surrender.

As the area covered by the Chinese artillery fire increased, explosions were heard all around the entire city of Xi'an.

The soldiers and civilians in the city of Xi'an, everyone is worried, the shells are not a joke, the artillery fire of the Chinese army can accurately cover all the city defenses, if you really fire at the city, the city will have become a sea of fire long ago.

The common people also have rods and scales in their hearts, and many people are talking about it, thinking that Huajun is benevolent and righteous, and Zuo Zongtang insists on it again, but he doesn't know what to do, he doesn't care about the life and death of the people, and forcibly lets the people follow him to death.

There are still a small number of scholars who think that Zuo Zongtang's refusal to surrender to China is a manifestation of loyalty to the monarch and patriotism, but after all, there are too few readers, not even one percent, and among the readers, there are still only a small number of people who hold this idea.

Let the advanced young people among the scholars more easily accept the new culture and oppose the old ideas.

Rumble! Rumble! Boom Boom!

Shells fell from the sky one after another, constantly hitting the city defense of Xi'an accurately.

Although the two-hour bombardment did not cause many casualties, it produced a violent explosion that shook the ground like an earthquake.

This is an audio-visual devastation, and no one knows when the Chinese army will shell the whole city, or even attack in an all-out way.

At night, when Zuo Zongtang personally inspected the city defense, he saw the Chu army with broken hands and feet everywhere, and he couldn't help but cry, and he really wanted to fight with the Chinese army! But he doesn't have the courage and doesn't have this condition, Zuo Zongtang naturally knows that the people are already very disgusted with him, and if he takes people outside the city to take the initiative to fight against the Chinese army, it is estimated that the people in the city will mutiny, and even his army may mutiny, and most of the people are against the cannibalism of their Chinese comrades.

Everywhere he went, there was a miserable scene, and Zuo Zongtang, who was watching, was dripping blood in his heart!

Next, for four or five days in a row, the Chinese army seemed to set an alarm clock, two hours at noon, it was the season of spring and summer, everyone was sleepy at noon, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Xi'an City could not do anything, and if this continued, even if the Chinese army did not attack, the food in the city would not be enough to eat.

Rumors began among the common people that the Chu army planned to arrest the common people and cut the meat to eat!

Of course, most of these rumors are spread by the Bureau of Statistics, and what do the people say the most? It's this kind of words, there are rumors everywhere, and in the end, even the Chu army is in danger, worried that if the food is really not enough, maybe their own people will start to eat their own people, and everyone looks at others like enemies, for fear that one will not pay attention to being put down to eat meat.

At this time, the 1st Field Division of the Chinese Army suddenly launched an attack, and the officers and men of the 1st Field Division of the Chinese Army, which had received the full support of artillery, attacked on all fronts, and the offensive was very fierce.

Xuan Jianzhang didn't make this decision on an ad hoc basis, yesterday, President Meng personally talked to Xuan Jianzhang on the phone, he was in the middle of today's noon shelling, he suddenly gave the order!

"President, take a nap, right? Don't wait, you're sure to win. Gege held President Moe's forearm.

President Meng smiled: "Okay, take a nap, I hope there will be good news after waking up." ”

President Meng sometimes feels that his life is quite boring, he used to yearn for the life of an upper-class person, and now he is the pinnacle of the whole country, and suddenly he has become a little pig, eating and sleeping every day, sleeping and eating, most of the work is done by the president's secretariat, and he has really become a symbolic emperor.

President Meng suddenly felt that those faint gentlemen in the past were all sick in the brain, governing a country, as long as the power is grasped, it is really easy, why bother having fun and doing nothing?

He also suddenly understood that there is no such stupid emperor, and the faint monarch who is too busy to have fun, usually the power has been taken away, the government has been controlled, and the emperor who has no choice, or the world is about to fall, and it is too late to do anything.

President Meng was lying flat, Jie Gege was wearing a thin belly pocket, and the white jade arm with skin like clotted fat was on President Meng's round little belly, this picture was not very harmonious, but the feelings of the two people were very harmonious, and they were already living like a couple with strong feelings.

Sometimes, Jie Gege wakes up and finds himself sleeping next to President Moe, and he will secretly laugh.

When President Meng was sleeping, the First Field Division of the Chinese Army was attacking the Chu army on all fronts, and he relaxed his vigilance, thinking that the Chinese army would completely collapse the Chu army's defense line every day.

The nine regiments of the Chinese army attacking from all sides broke through the defense line of Xi'an City almost at the same time.

The army ran back and forth, and the sound of the trumpet was heard in all directions.
