With Yang Lin's order, the marching rhythm of the whole team became extremely slow, but it was orderly, the cavalry strangled the reins, slightly clamped the horse's belly with their legs, and controlled the speed as much as possible, and the infantry and baggage troops in the rear also lowered their speed, and the guns lay between their hands, slightly inclined upward, aimed at the front, their legs tensed, and they were in a state of charging at any time. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

At this time, I saw that thousands of meters away in front of the team, through the dense jungle and forested mountains, a city loomed, with Yang Lin raised the telescope, Zhao Hu also took out the telescope, put it in front of his eyes, and observed.

Through the telescope, Zhao Hu saw the gate of the city, directly above the three big characters of Quzhou City, on the head of the city, the Manchu banner was unfurled, and the soldiers in the uniforms of the Manchu soldiers stood there, holding spears, standing upright, with dark and thin faces, it can be seen that those soldiers are not very good, lacking the unique temperament of soldiers.

Yang Lin was still watching, but Zhao Xiang put down the binoculars in his hand, and said loudly: "Marshal, why don't you take people into the city first by your subordinates like in the past siege, and then take advantage of the night to act and take Quzhou City in one fell swoop." ”

"No need, this time let's storm Quzhou City, continue to go north, and strive to reach Jinhua Mansion within ten days." Yang Lin put down the binoculars, waved his big hand, and shouted loudly: "Speed up, the baggage troops and infantry keep up!" ”

Immediately afterwards, without waiting for Zhao Hu to speak, Yang Lin rode his horse and galloped, went quickly, and shouted: "Drive!" ”

Pedal...

Stompe...

Driving...

The cavalry is galloping, shouting and cheering one after another, the infantry is also speeding up, in the blink of an eye, it has marched a distance of thousands of meters, the cavalry mighty Chen soldiers are under the city of Quzhou, only more than 100 meters away from the city gate, the war horse is constantly snorting, Yang Lin is riding at the front of the team, calmly looking at Quzhou City, Zhao Hu follows on one side.

At this time, the south gate of Quzhou City was tightly closed, the Qing soldiers stood on the city wall, waiting for the battle, the boiling hot oil was constantly steaming, bubbling black gas, it can be seen how high the temperature was, the bow and crossbow arrows pointed at Yang Lin's department from afar, as long as Yang Lin's soldiers continued to step forward and entered the effective range of the bow and crossbow, these Qing court soldiers would shoot out without hesitation.

In this situation, the people on both sides are fearless, and they have twelve points of confidence in their own side, the Qing army feels that they are stubbornly waiting for help, with an impregnable city wall as a backing, and they are not afraid of the enemy from all sides......

The most important thing is that Yang Lin has a large amount of gunpowder, as long as he attacks under the city gate and ignites the corresponding amount of explosives, no matter what kind of material the city gate is made of, he can't withstand the explosive force and can't stop his progress.

All parties have their own thoughts, on the city wall, the Qing army stepped forward with a soldier on the side of the general body, and his face was full of flattery: "General, although there are many of these bandits, they are really stupid, they dare to attack Quzhou City without even a ladder to attack the city, and it is a joke to spread it!" ”

"Don't underestimate the enemy, these people can actually take Fujian, it shows that they are not simple, see no, the weapons in the hands of these people may have special functions." Although the general manager said solemnly, the faint smile on his face and the slow brushing of his small beard showed his disdain for Yang Lin's subordinates, and most of them were ridiculed.

The soldier's eyes purred, and he instantly understood the general meaning, and immediately echoed: "What the general said is, but as long as the general is in charge here, these guys don't want to make any trouble, and they can't make any big waves, just rely on those things like burning sticks, which is your opponent?!" ”

The general little eyes narrowed slightly, and the smile became brighter and brighter, as if he was enjoying the words of the soldiers, he straightened his big belly, and when he was about to say something, Yang Lin shouted from his side.

"Listen to the defenders of Quzhou City, as long as you surrender obediently, open the city gates, and lay down your weapons, we will save you from death. Otherwise, don't blame the guns for being merciless! ”

Suddenly, he raised his eyebrows and raised them, but the soldier next to him stepped forward and shouted: "Well, you things who don't know life and death, with such a little person, you dare to confront the imperial court, if you know each other, the monster will bow down and surrender, lest your family follow and punish you, and harm relatives, friends and the township!" ”

Immediately, he stretched out his eyebrows, looked at his subordinates in harmony, and felt that this kid had a future and would come to something.

At the same time, on Yang Lin's side, when the two armies were shouting, Zhao Hu asked puzzledly: "Marshal, didn't you say a strong attack?" Why don't you do it now? ”

"Now is not the time, Zhao Hu, marching to fight, it is not blindly forced, but both soft and hard." Yang Lin smiled slightly, as if he could feel Zhao Hu's still puzzled, and continued to explain: "Although we are determined to overthrow the Qing court and drive away the Manchurian Tartars, in this process, we also need to develop and grow, and reduce the impact on the city as much as possible, so as not to harm the people in the city." ”

Although there was still some unhappiness in his heart, Zhao Hu still agreed and said: "Yes, after all, the marshal will have to govern these people in the future, and he is also a Han Chinese, so it is best to avoid fighting in the same room." ”

As if he hadn't heard what Zhao Hu said, Yang Lin clenched the reins with both hands, looked at Quzhou City faintly, and said coldly: "Not only that, the reason why I did this was to make a posture, persuade those who could not surrender, dare to swear to the death to resist, desperately loyal to the Manchus, what was waiting for them was the means of killing, ruthlessly slaughtering, and making those regimental training organizations around them obedient and obedient and accepting our incorporation." ”

At this moment, Zhao Hu really understood what Yang Lin's words meant by soft stopping, why did he persuade him to surrender first? This is to salute first and then to send a signal to prepare for the future governance of the Quzhou Prefecture, to carry out a killing of chickens and monkeys, and to deter some opportunists.

In the grand scheme of things, this is an exemplary move, and it is likely to be extended to all the reconquest areas, to make the whole rear more stable, to create a tense situation, so that the people under their control will no longer be on the sidelines, and they will have to make a choice, either a supporter or an enemy.

Obviously, all these measures were taken on a psychological and spiritual level, and with an extremely solemn pressure, the people in the sphere of influence shaved their hair and turned against the purity.

Thousands of thoughts were fleeting, Zhao Hu knew it in his heart, and at this moment, Yang Lin's deep voice sounded again, reverberating all around.

"The baggage troops stepped forward, mortars and heavy organs were prepared, and I was suppressed by fire, so that those dogs on the city wall could not raise their heads, once the fire was suppressed, the infantry and cavalry were prepared in turn, and obeyed my command!"

Crash!

Immediately, the cavalry gave way to one by one, and the two of them ran forward for a team of artillery bombardment, advancing twenty meters, followed by a sound of adjusted artillery bombardment, and the barrel of the cannon slowly rose and pointed directly at the city wall of Quzhou.

"Fire!" Everything was ready, Yang Lin shouted.

Boom...

Dozens of shells slanted out, instantly landed on the city wall, bursts of explosions sounded, thick smoke billowed out, the banner of the Qing army was blown up, and many Qing soldiers were immediately blown up to a blur of flesh and blood, screaming again and again, and exclamations continued.

Ahhh

The oil pot was fried, and the hot oil splashed everywhere, but it affected the nearby Qing soldiers, it was really stealing chickens and rice!

Boom...

The mortars were still venting shells, blowing up the Qing soldiers in embarrassment, and in the midst of the rumbling artillery fire, Yang Lin's order sounded: "Infantry charge, protect the safety of heavy machine guns and gunners, and the cavalry is ready to attack the city at any time!" ”

The flag commander quickly waved the small flag, conveyed Yang Lin's order, and with a hula, the infantry in the rear ran quickly, under the cover of mortars, it was only a few tens of seconds, and soon arrived at the Quzhou city gate, holding the machine gun tightly with both hands, and the right finger was on the trigger, and two heavy machine guns were placed on both sides of the city gate, aiming at the direction of the city gate.

Boom...

Da Da...

Bang bang...

In the rumble of artillery fire, faintly, there were bursts of gunfire in the city, continuously, the soldiers who were very close to the city gate heard it very clearly, the exchange of fire was less than five minutes, just when Zhao Hu persuaded Yang Lin to blow up the city gate, suddenly, the city gate was suddenly opened, and then, in the sight of everyone, only to see some people wearing ordinary people's clothes appeared at the city gate, holding guns in their hands, constantly shooting at the city gate, where the eyes entered, the officers and soldiers guarding the gate had arrived in a large area!

At this moment, without anyone's orders, the infantry quickly poured in, coercing those "ordinary people" to shoot and kill the Qing soldiers guarding the door.

Da Da...

Bang bang...

Not far away, Yang Lin's order sounded again: "All the cavalry charge, take the other three gates of Quzhou City for me!" ”

Drive!

Boom...

At this moment, the attack of the artillery run was particularly strong, and one wave followed one after another, forming a tight network of firepower, so that the Qing soldiers on the city wall could not raise their heads at all, and could only be beaten passively.

The infantry was divided into left and right sides, quickly poured into the city, armed with machine guns, constantly pulling the trigger, and attacked the steps of the city wall, preparing to take control of the city, so that the cavalry would pour in, and there would be no worries, and there would be no Qing army guarding the gate officers and soldiers to attack from behind.

Da Da...

Bang bang...

As soon as the infantry reached the entrance of the stairs and stood on the wall, the cavalry had already reached the top of the city wall, entered through the very center of the gate, and marched in tandem with the infantry.

Drive!

The cavalry did not hesitate, and immediately marched away, bringing up a burst of noise, and the troops divided into three roads, and went straight to the east, north, and west gates of Quzhou City. At the same time, it is not difficult to hear the sound of gunfire at the three city gates, and it is clear that there is also a battle for the city gates.

From the beginning to the end of the battle, it was only half an hour, the south gate of Quzhou City was already in the hands of Yang Lin, and a large number of infantry cavalry poured into the city, divided into small teams, and walked along the street to fight at various Qing court yamen.

At this moment, Zhao Hu had already reacted, knew Yang Lin's siege strategy, and completely remembered that every town had its own undercover agents, basically all of them were equipped with grenades and machine guns, and those personnel had excellent military qualities.

It's a relief to think about it, as long as those sleepers are armed with machine guns and keep throwing grenades, it won't be a problem to capture a city gate at all. Zhao Hu couldn't be allowed to think too much, Yang Lin's calm urging voice came: "Zhao Hu, don't be stunned, let's go into the city~!" (To be continued.) )
