Chapter 606: Bloody Battle in Kuizhou Capital City (10)
He Renlong got the nickname of He Maniac, and his name was well deserved.
became the commander-in-chief of the vanguard troops, and he didn't care about Hong Chengchou following the team, and issued an order, all soldiers are not allowed to sleep, even if they want to sleep, they also sleep on horseback, and a nap is enough, but the army can't stop the pace of marching, and he also warned all the soldiers that when they arrive at Kuizhou City, they will start fighting immediately.
He Renlong himself strictly enforced, he has always been at the forefront of the army, although he said that there were bloodshot in his eyes, but his spirit was very excited, not to mention rest, even if he stopped moving forward, I am afraid he would not be able to do it.
An army of thirty-five thousand, advancing at the fastest pace, day and night.
Hong Chengchou followed the army, anxious, He Renlong's order, he fully supported it, delayed for a minute, Kuizhou Mansion was in danger, more importantly, if Li Zicheng suddenly changed his decision, ready to lead the Liukou to evacuate and escape, the next pursuit operation will become protracted, a few months, hard work to design a good plan, can not get a happy ending.
Ma Xianglin's mood is even more complicated, on the one hand, the white pole soldiers he led, there are 5,000 people who have become the vanguard, although there are some less, but the combat effectiveness of the white pole soldiers, it is indeed not as good as the Jiangning battalion soldiers, they still have to have a correct understanding, on the other hand, seeing that the white pole soldiers are about to fight with the Liukou again, the time for revenge is coming, this kind of waiting and expectation is very difficult, he can't wait to fly to the city of Kuizhou, and immediately start a fight with the Liukou.
The speed of the march has always been fast, and there is a strong belief that no one is left behind, let alone stopped, in support of all the soldiers. What everyone thinks of is to rush to the capital city of Kuizhou and fight with the Liukou, time is everything, this is a victory in a race against time.
Xiong Zijian, the commander-in-chief of the second echelon, was also ruthless, and he gave a death order to all the soldiers, although he said that part of the war horse equipment was given to the vanguard. However, the distance between the soldiers and the vanguard cannot exceed 20 miles, that is to say, within an hour after the vanguard arrives at the capital city of Kuizhou, the second echelon must also arrive.
Sleep is impossible, which indicates that everyone will be faster, overcome unimaginable difficulties, and accomplish seemingly impossible tasks.
That's it. Two torrents, one in front and one in the back, rolled in the direction of Kuizhou Fucheng.
At three o'clock on 11 August, the vanguard finally arrived at the outskirts of Kuizhou's capital city.
It was more than an hour earlier than expected.
The red-eyed scouts were panting to report the situation, and a large number of rogues were still gathered outside the capital city of Kuizhou, and the city was safe and sound.
Hong Chengchou patted his head, and Ha Lu Ha Da Lu smiled.
Finally waiting for this day. He had been waiting for this day for more than ten years.
In the first year of Chongzhen. Hong Chengchou served as the governor of Shanxi, and it was at that time that Wang Jiayin and others in Shaanxi began to rebel, and the whole of Shaanxi began to correspond. More than 100 troops were formed, and from this time on, Hong Chengchou abandoned the civil and military forces, began the career of exterminating the Liukou, and achieved a great victory. also suffered a fiasco, and even almost lost his head, and then entered the Jiangning camp and began to see the hope of exterminating the Liukou.
He Renlong had red eyes, looked at Hong Chengchou who was smiling, and did not speak.
The vanguard arrived at the outskirts of Kuizhou Fucheng, and the next step was to attack, whether he would give this order, or Hong Chengchou would give it, He Renlong hesitated.
"General He, you are the commander-in-chief of the vanguard troops, and all the soldiers are waiting for your orders."
Hearing Hong Chengchou say this, He Renlong's body trembled, pulled out the bright steel knife, and raised it to the sky.
"The flag bearer follows my side, not leaving an inch, soldiers, charge with me, kill the rogues......"
The drummer had been waiting for the order to attack for a long time, and as soon as He Renlong finished speaking, an earth-shattering drum sounded, and the drum was the order to attack.
When the tired soldier heard the sound of the drum, it was as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, and the horse began to charge forward, and his mouth let out a howling sound.
Li Zicheng, who heard the sound of drums and shouts, actually fell off his horse.
He just made a decision, the army retreated immediately, the tired sergeant quickly made preparations for the evacuation, at this time, the morale was gone, the rest was to flee, if at this time, the Jiangning battalion soldiers stationed in the capital city of Kuizhou were killed, they could defeat the army, without the murderous and morale sergeants, they could only be regarded as lambs, and they could be slaughtered.
Unexpectedly, at this time, Jiang Ningying came back.
What an accurate arrangement this should be, I don't know how long Su Tiancheng has been preparing for it, when the rebels set off from Bazhou, the Jiangning battalion set off from Kuizhou Fucheng, Chengdu Prefecture Mianzhu and Baoning Prefecture Nanyang respectively, this time difference will not be wrong, and the scouts have also detected accurate information.
Li Zicheng, who was helped up, closed his eyes in pain, and tears appeared in the corners of his eyes.
This time he was a complete failure, and there may be no chance of turning over.
When the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion in red robes rushed over, the army of the Liukou was completely chaotic, no matter how the officers shouted, it had no effect, and the Liukou began to disperse, like headless flies, scattering and fleeing, and their hearts and fears of the Jiangning battalion reached the point of no return, and it was impossible to organize an attack.
There were some rogues who ran towards the city wall of Kuizhou Prefecture.
Su Tiancheng, who had been sticking to the city wall, also heard the sound of drums and shouts.
A smile finally appeared on his face.
At this time, Sun Chuanting, Liu Tiehan and others all arrived in front of him, and everyone's faces showed a look of expectation, at this time, they should not be guarding the city wall, they must rush out of the city, they are the closest to the Liukou, and they can effectively prevent the Liukou from escaping.
"General Sun, give an order, all the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion will go out of the city to kill the enemy."
Zhu Cihong still has four hundred brocade guards by his side, and there is no big problem.
Jin Yiwei commanded Tong Zhi Sun Yong to also prepare to follow Sun Chuanting down the city wall, Su Tiancheng looked at Sun Yong, did not speak, although Jin Yiwei's reputation is not very good, but no matter what, they are all soldiers, in this case, standing on the city wall and watching, it is definitely not a taste, close to a day of fighting, everyone's nerves have become thick, and all they think of is to kill all the rogues outside the city.
"Liu Tiehan, remember your duties."
Su Tiancheng called Liu Tiehan to his side and said this sentence softly.
A day ago, the Liukou who was still violent, at this time completely collapsed, no one resisted, everyone was fleeing the road, and the most people fled to the river, there were boats there, as long as they got on the boat, along the Yangtze River, they might have a chance to live.
It's a pity that they can think that Hong Chengchou and He Renlong can also think that on the slopes on both sides of the road, a large number of Jiangning battalion soldiers have been ambushed, armed with flintlock guns.
The gunshots rang out, and the fallen rogues quickly blocked the road, and the rogues who fled in front began to retreat, and the rogues in the back were still crowded towards the front, congested in the middle of the road for a while, and many of the rogues knew that they couldn't escape, so they simply knelt down and raised their weapons with both hands, indicating their surrender.
This kind of action was very contagious, and more and more rogues began to kneel, raised their weapons in their hands, and surrendered to the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion.
The 3,000 soldiers around Li Zicheng had already wrapped Li Zicheng in the middle when the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion began to attack, and went to the south, there was a road to enter the mountains, as long as they could enter the mountains, they could always think of a way.
It's a pity that their thoughts were predicted by Sun Chuanting and Liu Tiehan, and the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion who rushed out of the city gate, without scruples about the rogues kneeling on the ground, rushed to the front and blocked the road to the south.
There were only a few sporadic fights around, and most of the rogues surrendered on their knees.
At this time, the personal soldiers who guarded Li Zicheng became the target of everyone, including some of the officers who followed the rogue Kou, less than 4,000 people, and were soon surrounded by the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion.
There is no point in fighting.
Li Zicheng fulfilled his words and asked his soldiers and many officers not to resist, tie him up, hand him over to the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion, and everyone lay down their arms.
A few loyal soldiers were not reconciled, and rushed out with a roar, ready to fight, and a few arrows came over, and several people quickly fell off their horses and did not move, and the rest of them were silent and did not dare to move.
"No ...... forgiveness"
A cold voice came, and Su Tiancheng, who was riding a white war horse, appeared in everyone's sight.
It's not that he is ruthless, if the officers under Li Zicheng surrender, it is not necessarily a capital crime, but these people are no longer able to become good citizens, and it is still a scourge to stay, as for Li Zicheng's personal soldiers, and Li Zicheng get along day and night, compared to those officers, it may be more extreme, these pro-soldiers, the possibility of surrender is not very likely, even if it is surrendered, I don't know when Lu Dao remembered it, and suddenly appeared to avenge Li Zicheng, it is also possible.
At this time, we must not be soft, we must not leave the fire, as for those ordinary soldiers who knelt on the ground and surrendered, they can be let go.
The encircled pro-soldiers exploded.
Li Zicheng rode to the front and spoke to Su Tiancheng.
"This must be Lord Su, the grass people Li Zicheng, the grass people are willing to apologize with death, and ask the adults to spare these sergeants."
Su Tiancheng's face was expressionless, and he threw out a few cold words.
"Li Zicheng, this official will send you a poem, leaving the grass on the plain, one year old and one withering, the wildfire is inexhaustible, and the spring breeze blows and grows. This is what this official means, you are a smart person, close to ten years of glory and wealth, enough. (To be continued......)
