Chapter 602: Tuguan City - Broken!
The sappers and militia of the Wang family held hoes and shovels and other digging tools, although they charged silently, although there was fire suppression, but so many people were acting under the nose of Xiang family, and it was difficult not to be discovered by Xiang family.
Seeing this situation, everyone knew what the Wang family was going to do, and in a panic, they hurriedly reported the situation while taking the risk of shooting at these people.
Although Commander Xiang Jia had little experience in artillery bombardment, he obviously had a lot of experience in dealing with such ground warfare. Immediately ordered: Although our firepower is not comparable to that of the Wang family, and we are pressed and beaten by others, it is still okay to send some people to throw the grenade down.
So, dozens of men, carrying boxes, touched through the tunnel.
After risking his head and looking down, and after determining the bomb dropping point, these dozens of people did not show their heads, opened the box, took out the grenade, twisted the lid, pulled off the lead, counted twice, threw the grenade over the position, and fell directly on the heads of the Wang family sappers and militiamen......
"Boom! Rumble! Boom ......"
"Ahh Yes~! Ah......h
In the darkness, there was only a flash of fire, an explosion, and a scream, followed by a wail and a roar...... It has to be said that Wang Shihua has to bear the main responsibility for causing the current tragic scene: his method of breaking the ground and closing the city is to send people to dig three to five deep holes under the city, and then bury explosives in it, so as to break through the earth pass in one fell swoop...... Sending so many people to attack and bombarding with so many shells, although these are just for blasting and covering, they can also test the background of Xiangjia, these are all necessary. But the question is, do you need two militia battalions and an engineer company? One or two thousand men rushed over just to dig a few holes, which was too wasteful. In fact, only a hundred or so people are enough. Who let him order unclear and did not take into account the details, which led to so many absolutely avoidable casualties.
But I also have to say that the Wang family is really not afraid of death, because many people put small boxes under themselves and want to use their bodies to block grenades.
As soon as they saw that the sappers and militiamen who were working were turned on their backs by the grenades that fell one after another, the Wang machine gunners in the shield array a hundred meters away immediately turned their guns and concentrated all their fire on the Tuguancheng position on this line, and the gunners concentrated their shells here without giving an order.
These dozens of people in the Xiang family obviously have the nature of dead soldiers, because they are hiding behind the fortifications, the bullets can't do anything to them, but the parabolic trajectory of the small steel cannon makes them cry bitterly, but they don't retreat, they still risk throwing grenades down, and the Wang family who was blown up complained bitterly and suffered heavy casualties.
In this kind of scene where grenades are raining down, everyone only dares to lie down, and it is considered a great luck that they are not killed, let alone the operation - they dare not retreat, and they cannot retreat, and once they retreat, what awaits them is the strafing of the law enforcement team. If you are killed by the bombing, you can still be considered a martyr, and your family can still get a pension, but if you are killed by the law enforcement team, let alone a pension, your family will not be able to look up and see people in the future.
Seeing that these 2,000 people had become a living target for a dilemma, the Wang family immediately concentrated all their artillery fire to bombard the Xiangjia position above them, but even so, they still couldn't stop the posture of desperately throwing grenades downward at the family.
The battlefield is the best place to unleash human potential!
was caught in the middle of the struggling Wang family sappers and militiamen, but saw a person take out a grenade, jumped up violently, pulled off the lead, and shouted: "Dog, the left and right are dead, and Lao Tzu will pull you on your back when he dies." ”
Immediately, the grenade was thrown at the position of Xiangjia.
"Boom!"
"Boom! Rumble! Boom ......"
This guy's luck is really heavenly, this casually thrown, and as a result, it happened to be thrown into an open grenade box, and the explosion, like fireworks, caused this box of grenades to bloom in all directions. During this time, a body was blown away by a grenade and fell in front of the Wang family below the position. As soon as the Wang family saw this effect, they immediately knew what to do.
They jumped up, howling and throwing grenades at the home position.
"Boom! Rumble! Boom ......"
Among the many explosions, this section of Xiangjia's position was completely emptied.
"Don't throw it away, leave some and blow them up when Xiang family comes." The commander of the engineer company had some military qualities, and when he saw that everyone was throwing energetically, he hurriedly shouted to stop it: "The people of the first and second companies of the fifth battalion of the militia are going to the shield array to get grenades, and the people of the sixth battalion are ready to throw grenades at any time, and the rest continue to dig." ”
There was no need for the militia to fetch the grenades, because as soon as the commander of the shield line saw the result, he was overjoyed and sent someone to send the grenade box over.
And Xiang was also fierce, and when he saw that the people in front of him were killed, he immediately organized dozens of people, touched the position, and continued to throw grenades down.
In this way, the two sides came and went, and the personnel on both sides continued to decrease in the flying grenades...... But Xiang Jia took advantage of the location and got a big advantage. According to later statistics, as a result of the grenade thrown at each other, 147 people from the Wang family were killed and 328 wounded. Ninety-seven people died in the Xiang family, and there were no casualties.
More than ten minutes passed.
Suddenly, the sappers and militia of the Wang family began to run back desperately, and as soon as they opened to their families, they were terrified, and hurriedly shouted for the clansmen to evacuate this position: everyone understands that the Wang family's large-scale run shows that it has been deployed, and the next thing must be blasting.
Sure enough, about twenty seconds later, the four men rushed out of their respective holes and rushed towards the shield array.
Another ten seconds passed......
"Boom! Rumble! ”
Because the explosions were so close to each other, it sounded like there were only two earth-shattering loud noises, but just this loud noise could be heard dozens of miles away.
The moment the explosion sounded, the earth seemed to suddenly swing, and when the dust was lifted dozens of meters high, the southern wall of Tuguan City almost completely collapsed. If you look down from the sky, you will definitely find that Tuguan Castle at this time is like a piece of a large cake that has been bitten off, and the fire spots caused by the explosion scattered throughout the city, like sesame seeds on the cake, are very eye-catching...... Fortunately, the retreat to the family was timely, otherwise, there would have been more than a dozen casualties.
From ancient times to the present, once the wall of any defense is breached, it often means the end of the war, even if there are occasional exceptions, send people to desperately block the opening, but in the offensive and defensive battles of the king and the two families on the Tuguan City, there is no such special case. It's just that the southern wall of Tuguan City has almost collapsed, and it can't be blocked.
And the city is broken, not only losing its geographical advantage, but also causing a huge psychological blow.
"The city is broken, and the Xiang family is defeated! The city is broken, and the Xiang family is defeated......"
In the face of the attack of the Wang family who were swarming and shouting while shooting, Xiang was really panicked, and this panic was beyond the power of manpower to stop.
Xiang Dingtian, who was commanding in the city, could only look at the sky and sigh when he saw this situation, and quickly ordered everyone to retreat...... Fortunately, Xiang Dingtian also knew that in the face of the cannon, Tuguan City would be breached sooner or later, so he arranged a back road early, so although the Xiang family was busy running for their lives, it did not cause much panic. Of course, on the other hand, it was precisely because of the prior arrangements and explanations that were like a deflated ball, after the city was broken, the heart of desperate resistance to the family was gone, so that the Wang family almost did not encounter any resistance, and they smoothly occupied Tuguan.
And Wang Shihua, out of consideration for the overall situation, formulated a general policy for negotiating with the Xiang family after taking Tuguan City, so he did not take the opportunity to chase and kill. It's just that after shooting at the last group of people who rushed into the front line, killing and wounding more than a dozen people, it happened.
At this point, the Battle of Tuguan Castle ended.
The victorious Wang family immediately slaughtered pigs and sheep to celebrate, and the quarrel lasted until the next morning. On the other hand, looking at the Xiang family, in the silence, everyone's faces were sad and indignant, and there was already a tendency to mourn the soldiers - everyone understood that once the first line of heaven was broken, the army of Wangjialu could drive straight into the city of Xiangjia, and at that time, the extermination of the Xiang family would be just around the corner.
The next day, the early morning of April 11th!
Wang Shihua sent someone to shoot a letter with an arrow at the checkpoint at the intersection of the first-line Tianlu -- an appointment to negotiate with Dingtian.
Two hours later, Wang Shihua set up a table and two chairs in the middle of Tuguan City and Yitian to make tea and entertain Xiang Dingtian.
Seeing that Xiang Dingtian was very disciplined and only brought a personal guard, Wang Shihua said with a smile: "Dingtian, sit down, the heat of this Biluochun is just right, try it." ”
Xiang Dingtian sat down and complained: "Taste a fart!" Lao Tzu was killed and injured by you, how can you be in the mood to drink tea. ”
"A war is a war, and we are us." Wang Shihua personally poured him a cup of tea and said with a smile: "Taste it." ”
Xiang Dingtian picked up the teacup, smelled it, tasted it, and exclaimed: "Sure enough, it's good tea, go back and send me two catties." ”
"Two pounds? Why don't you die! Lao Tzu only got a catty. ”
"Cut! You're just stingy. ”
Subsequently, the two fought for a while, and the tea was almost drunk, and they began to get to the point.
"Shihua, I'm curious, you're fighting so well, why did you suddenly ask for negotiation?" After speaking, without waiting for Wang Shihua to answer, he added: "If I were you, I would never let go of such an opportunity." ”
"Our four major families have always been in the same spirit, and it is normal to fight, but if we really kill them, we will make people profit. We all understand this kind of truth. Speaking of business, Wang Shihua didn't beat around the bush with him, and said: "However, Dingtian, you have said it yourself, at this time, my Wang family has the advantage, then I will put forward conditions." ”
The so-called fishermen are not only benefiting the other two, but more importantly, the government. And the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, which is directly pointed out that it will benefit the government.
Xiang Dingtian nodded, looked at Wang Shihua, and said, "Since you know this, it's easy to talk about it, but before that, I have to make it clear." My Xiang family is not without the strength to fight, if your Wang family wants to swallow my Xiang family, I am afraid that it will also have to break my bones. So, Shihua, I'll talk about it after I think about it. ”
If you dare to open your mouth, don't blame me for fighting you to the death and pulling you back.
"My royal family's losses in this battle, you have to compensate the family."
This is what the victors will do, there is nothing unusual, since Xiang Dingtian came to negotiate, he was naturally prepared.
However, Xiang Dingtian didn't nod or shake his head, just looked at Wang Shihua, waiting for the next condition: many times, this kind of silence represents agreement, but in terms of the specific amount, the people below need to pull the skin, and a big man like them only needs to control the general direction.
"Since Xiang Rengui is the culprit, his immediate family has to be handed over to my Wang family to deal with, otherwise, I can't calm the anger of the clansmen."
"It can't be!" Xiang Dingtian refused, making the atmosphere drop instantly......
