Few people heard Ren Qian's sorrow before he died. However, the shocking shouts from all directions were heard by every loyal and righteous soldier. Of course, it also includes Mao Sanyuan himself.
"Shoot and don't kill!"
"Capture Mao Sanyuan alive!"
Crossing the Yellow River, crossing the Huai River, counting on the Yangtze River, how majestic it used to be. Alas, how did you just get here, and this first real confrontation was so defeated. The loyal rescuers around Mao Sanyuan no longer have the fighting spirit, and in the choice between life and death, they have more choices to continue to survive.
Mao Sanyuan knew that the general trend was gone, and he gestured the short gun on his head.
"My lord, I can't!" A personal guard grabbed his hand.
Mao Sanyuan let go of his hand, he actually couldn't make up his mind to die.
"Mao Sanyuan, Mao Xietong, rare, rare to see!" Mao Sanyuan, who was walking in a group of captives with his head down, was pulled out by a young Red Army officer with a short gun at his waist. "Well, it's only been an hour, oh, I should tell you that it's only been half an hour, and your two bidders and artillery teams are all concentrated here, and of course, there are many who can't stand up. Hehe, I'm glad you gave this officer the first chance to capture your loyal and righteous rescue ** senior generals. β
"You...... Are you ......" Mao Sanyuan looked at the young soldier with beautiful eyebrows in front of him a little shy and embarrassed.
"Hehe, this official will not change his name, he will not change his surname, this official is Ye Yunlai, the commander of the Third Regiment of the Teaching Brigade of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom." Ye Yunlai straightened up, with a smug smile on her face.
"You...... Aren't you in the sky? Mao Sanyuan looked at his proud opponent in surprise. According to the intelligence of Chuzhou, this terrible Red Army unit has been out of the sky and is making some moves in the direction of Xuyi, how can it appear here again?
"Haha......" Ye Yunlai laughed and stretched out his fingers, "We are the Heavenly Army, and the comings and goings are naturally erratic, so you can understand." However, I said Mao Xietong, you should be content. In order to clean you up, we mobilized the strength of five regiments. You know, not only do you have an advantage over your, but you also have twice as many people? It's either to run you out, or your rotten guns, we won't use them for free. Hehe, our Royal Highness King An said that there is no time to ration them ammunition, and it is okay to leave it to our peasant army to take care of the home and scare those who have ghosts in their hearts. It's not fun to fight with you, it's not fun. After speaking, he waved his hand and shouted to the soldiers beside him, "Take him to the brigade headquarters, and the brigade commander is waiting to 'entertain' him." β
Mao Sanyuan's head almost touched his chest, and the nest was too nesty. After walking a few steps, he heard Ye Yunlai's laugh from behind him, "Lord Mao, if you are lucky enough to survive, there are still many things that surprise you." β
Does Mao Sanyuan believe it? He didn't know whether to believe it or not.
Pukou artillery fire is continuous, how can the city of the Russian adviser Captain Shamov not believe it, obviously Mao Sanyuan is using the combination of the inside and outside to attack the **, even if the rebels have the strength to resist, it can only be used in **, how do you know that a large number of rebels with new equipment have just dawned, and they appeared in the north, east and south directions of Pukou. What made him even more incomprehensible was that just a few moments after he received a rebel attack on the city, the east gate was the first to be breached.
Captain Shamov clearly knew that Pukou, like Chuzhou, was not only the rearguard barrier of the eastward army, but also hoarded a large amount of ammunition, grain and grass that had just been transferred in the city, and it was the lifeline of the army that went up the river to take the rear road of the Chaohu rebels. But now, although there are more than 3,000 soldiers and horses in the city, most of them are support personnel in the rear, and there is only one target man and horse who can really fight.
"Your Excellency, the long-haired artillery fire is so powerful that it will collapse the city wall in a few cannons, and we have just been defeated as soon as we have reinforced it, and Advisor Alyov has also been killed......" The first sign of the road stumbled in, his face full of horror.
"Bastard!" Captain Shamov, who was deploying reinforcements from all over the place and counterattacking the plan of Dongcheng, slapped the table fiercely and scolded with his feet, "Pigs, stupid pigs, you Chinese cowards, your position is at the city gate, if you don't insist on it, what are you doing *** running down?" β
"I'm ......" the road sign opened his mouth a few times, "Your Excellency Advisor, the people I brought to the east gate are gone, I ......"
"Fuck you *** bullshit!" Captain Shamov picked up the saber hanging on the wall and kicked the table again, "You're a soldier, not thatch!" You immediately gather a number of people who can go into battle, immediately strengthen the defense of the north and south gates, and send people to the Chaohu front line and Chuzhou for help. I took the reserve battalion to Simon to counterattack. β
Before leaving the door, Captain Shamov looked back at the road signs that were still grinding, "Tell everyone, the rebels are carrying out a surprise attack in order to lure our troops who attacked ** to come back, and we must not let them succeed." In addition, the Chuzhou First Association will also reinforce us soon. β
"Yes, yes......" As if Captain Shamov's words about the Chuzhou reinforcements brought some courage to the road signpost, he pulled his foot and ran out the door. Watching Captain Shamov gallop out with a squad of Cossack knights, he couldn't help but feel a little worried. Just now, I forgot to tell Your Excellency SΓΉ that the real power of long hair in front of you, so rashly going, don't be poisoned by long hair again!
The Chuzhou First Association mentioned by Captain Shamov is not to mention that they don't know the real situation in ** and Pukou at all, even if they do, I'm afraid they don't have time to take care of it here. From midnight, Lin Haifeng sent Li Xiucheng to lead the 19th and 17th divisions of the Red Army to attack the east gate of Chuzhou with great fanfare.
The East City Gate, which had been buried by the heroic souls of more than 100 Heavenly Army and was now barely temporarily blocked, could not withstand the fierce attack of the Red Army's artillery fire and collapsed again. Xu Shuanglai only heard the sound of the charging horn, and he couldn't see how many men and horses were rushing towards the huge gap in the city gate in the dark, and in the midst of the melee, the gap was once lost.
Xu Shuanglai urgently mobilized reserve men and began to fight back.
This "big war" was fought until the sun rose, and Xu Shuanglai finally firmly held the gap. Perhaps it was only at this time that he felt the strangeness of things. The Taiping army outside the city is what they call the elite Red Army, although the horn is fierce, the shouts are also high, and the night is still stubborn, but as soon as the day is bright, they seem to immediately lose their confidence, every time they approach the huge gap that is full of temptation, and soon they are counterattacked by themselves as if the tide is receding.
After careful observation, Xu Shuanglai saw the clue in the end. It turned out that most of the so-called Red Army weapons were still primitive cold blades, and in addition to artillery, they could be compared with their own, and other aspects were just pediatrics. No wonder they make a lot of noise at night, hehe, it seems that they can't see the sun.
Simply, Xu Shuanglai gave up the idea of plugging the gap again, and also gave up the original idea of trying to go out of the city to attack the enemy on the opposite side. He deliberately reduced the strength on both sides of the city wall, but arranged two battalions of soldiers and horses behind the gap, and the guns in the city were also pointed at the gap, he wanted to leave this bait and use the superior firepower to make a funeral ground for these self-righteous Red Army.
Li Xiucheng is not stupid, his task has already been completed. All the troops began to go into earthwork and temporary rest, ostensibly preparing to fight forever, but secretly they were ready to retreat at any time, but as long as your troops in the city did not come out, I would not leave.
Both sides had their own ideas, and the battlefield was deserted for a while.
In Pukou, the fighting has entered a fever pitch. On the Yangtze River, the inland water division of the Celestial Army tightly sealed the south of the city with artillery fire. After the East Gate was broken through by the Teaching Brigade, the North Gate was also announced to have been broken through under the fierce impact of the Red Eighteenth Division. Nearly 6,000 Red Army soldiers entered Pukou City in two ways.
With the assistance of the heavy artillery battalion, Liu Mingyuan's special service battalion took the lead again, dispersing the loyal rescue who was guarding the east gate, and after dispersing the first group of enemies who came to reinforce them, they were met with Captain Shamov's men and horses who came to counterattack.
"The cavalry of foreign devils!" I don't know who shouted excitedly first.
As the iron cavalry in the Red Army, being able to fight real cavalry opponents is the wish of almost every teaching brigade soldier. It's a pity that the opponent's cavalry is too small, and even in the voices of those who shout excitedly, there is some regret.
Liu Mingyuan didn't need to issue any orders, just when Shamov and the Cossacks thought that the battle that was about to take place was the kind of combat unique to knights, the submachine gunners who rushed to the front of the special service battalion with "......" poured out bullets in the muzzles like splashing water. The knights of the Red Army had a desire to fight real opponents, and they liked to show off their style with their sabers, but they also understood the preciousness of time.
In the blink of an eye, more than thirty sabers-wielding Cossacks drowned in the iron stream of the special service battalion. Countless dazzling swords began to fly in the battalion of loyal rescue** that followed......
On the three poles of the day, the red flag was planted all over the city gates of Pukou, and the only remaining target of the third association of loyalty and righteousness was wiped out, except for a small part of the rout troops who fled from the west gate. Pukou returned to the embrace of the Celestial Empire.
According to any speculation, as soon as the Red Army of the Celestial Empire came back, it should first repair the city walls and reorganize the defenses, and even many people were prepared in their hearts. People have a kind of inertia of life, and after living under the management of the Celestial Empire for more than two years, it is not perfect, at least there is a lot less sorrow than before, and people are also used to the days without braids. However, the sudden catastrophe a few days ago requires them to return to the track of life a few years ago, and it is still difficult for them to accept it for a while, and in their minds, it is more that they hope to permanently retain the new habits that they have just started.
In particular, there are no several comparisons, and it is difficult for the common people to have a serious comparison between the Heavenly Army and the Manchu Qing Army in all aspects. It is an indisputable fact that the Celestial Empire is good and the Celestial Army is good. The only fervent hope of the people of Mancheng now is that the Red Army will remain in Pukou forever, and they are willing to pay a little for it.
