Wang Yide never thought that the result would be like this.
All the qiē here in Xicheng has been settled, and he wants to go to the south gate to see how many mischievous long hairs there are. Just as he stepped into the sedan chair and the other foot left the ground, a deafening cannon suddenly sounded from the north, and his body shook and sat down on the ground. In fact, the artillery fire was not so powerful, it was just a feeling in his heart.
Zhou Tianshou, who was sending the governor away, also trembled, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Wang Yide, and subconsciously looked to the north, "My lord, Changmao is attacking the north gate!" ”
Wang Yide slapped the dust on his body, and glanced at the sedan chair drivers beside him angrily, "What are you panicking, are you scared like this after a few cannons from afar?" He put the responsibility for his fall on the sedan chair drivers.
How so? Wang Yide turned his head to look in the direction of the north of the city, his mind spinning rapidly. Somehow, the brain that used to be very useful is now like a paste poured into the brain, and the more I think about it, the more confused I become, the more irritable I become.
Zhou Tianshou, the word Bailu, is a native of Ba County, Sichuan. In the early years of Xianfeng, he went out of Sichuan with the Sichuan soldiers, followed Xiang Rong to fight against the Taiping Army in Guangxi, and then moved to Hunan, Hubei, and Jiangnan. Later, a riot broke out in Fujian, and Xiang Rong ordered him to lead Sichuan soldiers to aid Fujian. In this way, due to the merit of pacifying the Fujian mob, he was not only awarded the name of the chief soldier, but also luckily escaped the catastrophe of being suppressed under the Tianjing City.
After a few years of hard work, I still have a lot of experience. If, at the beginning, according to the introduction of the Governor, he also agreed with the Governor's judgment by comparing the western and northern aspects, and now he has concluded that the Taiping army's attack in the north of the city was by no means a bluff. The terrain in the north of the city is dangerous, and because of this, the defenders there are not abundant, and the most important thing is that there is no more reserve force.
"My lord, we must hurry up and send reinforcements to the north gate, otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable."
How can this be the case with "this ......"? Wang Yide pondered for a moment, "This is not appropriate." Ben Governor concluded that this was just harassment, and imagine what you would do if you were to command this army to come on a long march and catch your breath. ”
Zhou Tianshou was speechless. If you had changed yourself, would you be so alone? No, it's a taboo.
As if to verify the correctness of these two people, the Red Third Division's charge horn outside the west gate suddenly sounded.
"Needless to say, you immediately go and organize the defense, and the governor will send another man from the east to the north of the city, whether it is true or not, it is always good to be prepared." Wang Yide decisively waved his hand and got into the sedan chair, "Go back to the yamen." No, I'm going to the North Gate right away. ”
Halfway down the road, Wang Yide in the sedan chair suddenly felt that the artillery fire in the north seemed to be weaker, and at the same time there was a strange sound of a horn that was as sharp and piercing as the one outside the west gate. "Stop, stop the car!" Wang Yide opened the sedan curtain and listened carefully. In fact, he had already heard the music that had even overpowered the roar of the guns, but he didn't believe it. This is a battlefield, not a congregation.
Listening to it, Wang Yide was a little emotional. He likes music and appreciates the silk music here in Jiangnan, but he always feels that the silk music here is not as tough as the small drama in his hometown Henan. By chance, he also heard the music of Westerners, yes, it was in Xiamen, and it was a piece of music called "What Horses" played by the French fleet on the same instrument as here. When he heard it, he felt a sense of shame. It's good today, this piece is comparable to France, hehe, who said that I don't have serious music in China.
Ahh Wang Yide suddenly spat on the ground, so angry that I almost went mad. "Let's go, let's go!" He shouted loudly, and the sedan curtain in his hand was just about to be lowered, but his eyes suddenly straightened. Oh my God, there's a fire on Ping Mountain!
After Wang Yide was stunned for a moment, he burst out of the sedan chair, snatched the clairvoyance held by the attendant and looked at the place where the firelight flickered from time to time. At this glance, he was full of excitement.
"Quick, quickly fly and transfer all the remaining troops in the east, no, and all the people who can move in the various prefectures and governments to reinforce Pingshan, Pingshan can't be lost!" Wang Yide put down his clairvoyance, issued orders while pulling out his feet and ran in the direction of Pingshan. He had just taken a few steps before he stopped again. Calm, calm! There is a political envoy at the north gate to preside, and Pingshan Defense also has its own brother-in-law Li Jue in charge, as the commander-in-chief, the key now is to control the overall situation, not to be rash, because of small losses.
So, he turned around and ran east. There is still his idle army there, although someone has been sent to inform him, but he is still not at ease, saving the soldiers is like fighting a fire, and he can't be delayed for a moment.
"My lord, let's get on the sedan chair, right?" The guard asked.
"What sedan chair?" Wang Yide glanced at the sedan chair that was still following behind him, "Lost, lost it!" At this time, he suddenly felt that this green sedan chair, which used to be quite comfortable, looked like a living coffin no matter how it looked. He regretted it, regretted why he didn't come on horseback. Underestimate the enemy, too lightly underestimate the enemy!
It was impossible to come up to the middle end of Pingshan, and the brave Red Army soldiers came up, and the beacon fire was blazing, telling everyone outside the north gate that they had successfully ascended the city. At this time, it was no longer a squad that came up, but with the continuous expansion of the first warriors, a whole battalion came up behind, an indestructible steel battalion.
After Chen Tingxiang repelled the Qing soldiers who hurriedly counterattacked from both sides, he divided the special service battalion into two routes, and Liu Mingyuan swept towards the north gate with a company of Qing soldiers who chased and fled to support the siege of the north gate. He personally commanded the main force of the battalion along the horse road to seize the main peak of Pingshan. Police shops and enemy buildings were reduced to nothing in the rain of grenades and gunfire......
Outside the north gate, the battle was raging. The three ladders of the 1st Battalion of the Teaching Brigade were set up on the wall almost simultaneously, and the covering team threw grenades from their baskets on the top of the city like locusts.
"Forward, forward, forward, our ranks ...... to the sun" The Red Army soldiers tightened their mouths, their hearts singing to the thunderous military music, one falling down, and the other making up. A ladder fell and came up from behind. Each young body will either forever melt into the land of the motherland under his feet, or it is just one word, "rush"! to fulfill the hopes of the people they are carrying.
The resistance of the Qing army at the beginning was stubborn, but when the Red Army troops unexpectedly rushed down from Pingshan, no matter how stubborn you were, they would collapse. No matter how thick the walls of Fuzhou are, they can't resist this invincible force in the end.
The north gate was opened.
Chen Yucheng looked at his pocket watch for thirty minutes.
has already gathered enough strength, and the follow-up echelons that have nowhere to do it poured into Fuzhou City like a tide. I am not afraid of the chaos of the establishment, I don't want any careful planning, and I will shoot wherever there is a gunshot. In view of the situation that the Qing army, which was crisscrossed by river forks in Fuzhou and had lost the strong city as its backing, and it was difficult to organize effective resistance under the fierce fire of the Red Army, Chen Yucheng's prior order was one, the sound of gunfire was an order, and as long as there was still gunfire, the battle would not end.
The art troupe entered the city, but the military music never stopped. They lined up in a neat procession, walked up the city wall, and approached the top of Ping Mountain a little bit along the road. The line may get a little messy, and occasionally someone will take a brief break or run out of tune.
The loud and mighty military music of the Red Army resounded on Pingshan for half a night, until the dawn broke in the east, and a round of rising red sun jumped out of the sea, scattering the golden morning glow with the new land of Fuzhou.
As their king said, they were also warriors, and the corners of their chapped mouths and lips were bleeding......
Wang Yide really doesn't run. Even if the reinforcements he organized had fallen at the north gate halfway, he still did not lose his last will, and ordered the thousands of Qing troops gathered to counterattack the main peak of Pingshan under the leadership of his brother-in-law who had retreated, and at the same time rode his horse to the south of the city.
There are still tens of thousands of troops in the south of the city, and there are also heavily walled Yushan and Wushan as supporters. Hold half of the city and wait for reinforcements from outside.
After the beacon fire ignited on the main peak on the screen, the commando team of the Red Third Division began to storm the west gate under the strong cover of grenadiers and other firepower on Dameng Mountain. The outer gates were soon opened, but as soon as they rushed into the outer city, they could not stop their steps.
