The artillery fire of the Lu army suddenly became denser, including the Minnie riflemen, who also joined the attack sequence. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 The info artillery poured a rain of bullets at any cost, and at the shouting of the commander-in-chief, shot out one shell after another, then cleaned the chamber, put in the shells, tamped them, and fired them......

The earth-shattering sound of artillery shook the earth, and the gun positions at the head of the city were all paralyzed in the face of this level of shelling. Guo Jian personally went to the section of the city wall that was most densely subjected to artillery fire and took command, according to his analysis, after such an artillery bombardment, the Lu army may have to start attacking the city at any cost.

Persistence, must be persevered.

At present, in the city, the following work has not been done well, and before the time to break through, no matter how heavy the price is, we must hold Huayin to the death and hold on until the troops can break through. Fortunately, now that there are enough supplies in the city, Guo Jian's subordinates directly carried a few baskets to the city, lifted off the red cloth on them, and revealed the white silver and some gold jewelry inside.

Guo Jian didn't care about the number, but just grabbed a handful, threw it at the soldiers, and shouted, "Brothers, hold it off for me." Withstand this level, these gold and silver treasures are yours, and the aunt at the gate of the mansion in the city at night, you can play as you like! ”

The minions who were dizzy and dazzled by the overwhelming artillery fire, the silver that was spent in vain, and the women of good families in the city were boosted again, and they gritted their teeth and held on to the city. However, after the artillery bombardment, what was waiting for was not the tidal attack of the Lu army, but a large number of soldiers, holding high the horn and shouting:

"Brothers in the Shaanxi army, surrender quickly, there is still a way out! Resist to the end, a dead end! ”

"Brothers in the city, now is the last time, don't get lost and return, the commander has given an order, all the jade will be burned, and no one will be left!"

"Dashuai only kills Guo Jian and Bai Lang, and everyone else can be pardoned!"

At this time, you are still attacking the heart? Guo Jian snorted coldly, now the morale and material support of his subordinates, this kind of psychological war will not be effective at all. He shouted to the people around him: "Don't panic, don't be in a hurry to fire, when they get closer, give them a taste of the platoon gun!" ”

The soldiers nodded their heads, their guns clenched in their hands, and waited for the order to attack generally. As Guo Jian expected, the effect of attacking the heart at this time was not obvious, and those who could follow Guo Jian to the city were his basic troops, and they would not really rebel because of this kind of persuasion.

The few hand-held bullets captured from the hands of the officers and soldiers were transported to the head of the city, waiting for the officers and troops to attack, so that they could taste the power of these gadgets themselves. The propaganda of the horns lasted for half an hour, and in its place was another round of overwhelming artillery fire.

The Lu army seemed to have pushed out all the cannons, and the cannonballs were squandered as if they didn't want money, and the city wall and the ground seemed to be shaking, and Guo Jian seemed to hear the ancient city wall under his feet wailing, admitting that his old body could not withstand the bombardment of this scale.

Of course, this is an illusion, but this illusion is extraordinarily real. Just as he ordered his subordinates to move freely in Chang'an on the night, he seemed to hear the weeping of that ancient city.

In the smoke of artillery fire, he seemed to see a crack in the city wall, which at first was only a small insignificant crack, like several cracks in the ancient city wall of this barge. Soon, however, the crack spread in all directions, combining with other cracks and growing wildly, eventually covering the entire wall.

An ordinary iron ball flew out of the muzzle of the cannon and smashed lightly into the crack, and then, instead of being bounced off like the other iron balls, it was embedded in the city wall. All the cracks were painful from this embedding, and after screaming at the same time, they scattered and fled, and the walls dissolved in this wailing.

Guo Jian's body subconsciously rolled to the side, hoping to avoid this catastrophe, but he was immediately held down by his own guards, "Big boss, be careful, don't fall!" ”

Hearing this reminder, he realized that Fang Cai's feeling was his hallucination. Although the ancient walls are no longer as strong as they were when they were younger, they are still strong. The walls are still there, and the city is safe.

"Commander, it's not good!" A soldier in a yellow trouser gown ran up to the city with a disgraced face, shouting, "Hu Siwa open the door and escape!" ”

Guo Jian's four brothers guarded four gates, and Hu Yunyi's department guarded a city gate, and the artillery fire faced by his troops was far less dense than that faced by Guo Jian, so from the beginning, he didn't expect that there would be problems there.

"What's wrong with Hu Siwa?" Guo Jian shook his head, his ears buzzed, he seemed to be still in an illusion, from the cracking and collapse of the city wall to Hu Yunyi's escape, it was all part of the illusion.

It's just that this illusion is more real than the previous one, and the minion said anxiously: "Siwa brought his people, opened the door to break through, and the Beiyang soldiers entered the city!" Second Master Bai is leading soldiers and is going to block, Huayin can't keep it. ”

This time it didn't seem to be a hallucination, the gunshots had already reached the city, and the walls had really collapsed......

The Lu army on the front may attack at any time, and the people's army on the back of the enemy can no longer maintain this city. At this time, Guo Jian remembered what Wang Tianzong had said to him, if he could take more precautions against Hu Yunyi, maybe the situation would not be like this......

Time did not allow him to think about it anymore, and several guards of his cronies set up Guo Jian and rushed down to the city. One of his own soldiers knocked over the baskets, silver, and jewelry, and scattered them all over the city. The minions frantically pounced, as much as they could, and stuffed the belongings into their arms.

The gunshots were not far from the city, and Guo Jian couldn't help but say, "The Beiyang soldiers came so fast? ”

"Crazy, crazy, these Beiyang soldiers simply pounced like mad dogs, and they couldn't stop it at all!" A few galloping horses ran over, led by Wang Tianzong. This Zhongzhou hero now looks embarrassed and abnormal, the cloak that was inseparable in the past has fallen somewhere, the guards around him are with him, and everyone has blood on their faces, probably injured.

"The second brother took the people of the Fu Han army, and he still wanted to fight them, but he knew that he couldn't form a formation at all, so he was pounced on by the Beiyang soldiers. These people are going to play with us, and this can't be done. Let's go, I'll take you out, let's settle accounts with Hu Siwa. ”

Guo Jian was stunned for a moment, there are still more than 10,000 combat soldiers in the city, if you organize a resistance...... But seeing that even the Zhensong army has lost its will to fight, the other troops are not much better if they want to come. After all, among the 10,000 people, the Zhensong army accounts for the largest proportion, and even if they collapse, other troops can't count on it.

"What about the second brother? What did he do? ”

"I asked Zhenhua to pick him up, I have to bring him out, you go with me first, you can go one by one."

Those who are swordsmen are also people who are accustomed to life and death, and at this time, they will naturally not have a childlike state. Guo Jian stopped talking, urged his mount, and followed Wang Tianzong's subordinates to rush out of the city.

The city has been plunged into chaos, with gunfire and explosions blaring endlessly. Along with the sound of these guns, you can also hear the sound of gongs and drums, which seem to come from the city. Accompanied by the sound of gongs, there were shouts of killing, and the sound of shooting.

These voices also came from within the city, and they were extremely trivial, not like the regular army firing a row of guns, but like the kind of piecemeal fighting from their own side. He asked in surprise, "What is this for?" If you don't go to the street to block the officers and soldiers, how can you put guns indiscriminately and sift gongs. ”

Wang Tianzong had a bitter face, "This is the big family in the city sounding gongs to send messages, and those guns were also put by them." These people are officers and soldiers, and they have sold us. ”

In fact, there was no need for Wang Tianzong to explain more, not long after the horse ran a few steps, Guo Jian saw a group of young men with white scarves wrapped around their arms, holding knives in their hands, and several people led by them also carrying rifles, chasing and killing several people's soldiers. The number of the civilian army was far smaller than that of the pursuers, and although they were brave, they were already at an absolute disadvantage at this time. Those who lagged behind were hit by bullets and staggered, and those with knives and sticks chased after them, and then there was a flurry of slashing.

Someone saw their horse team, and one pointed at Guo Jian and shouted, "Guo Jian! ”

Guo Jian raised his revolver and wanted to shoot, but Wang Tianzong pulled the reins of the horse, "Hurry up!" Then he relied on his horse and galloped out, but he didn't dare to clash with this people.

"This is not the same time as it used to be, and we must not fight these people. The entire Huayin youth and strong people have come out to fight against us. As long as you shoot, you can't go. Wang Tianzong shook his head and sighed:

"Our people are related to many big families in the city, they buy guns secretly, and we secretly sell guns. This was originally a matter of concealment, and everyone knew it. But the big families rely on these guns to beat our people. He also bribed some of our brothers and pulled our people to their side. Now I can't afford to fight with them, let's go first, and sooner or later I will have the opportunity to avenge this big revenge. ”

"Why? Why is that? I, Guo Jian, are not thin on them! On Guo Jian's forehead, the green tendons were almost bursting, he could understand the attacks on him from those big households, after all, the food of these people was used by himself as military food, and then distributed to the people. It is not surprising that they have compelled them to give their daughters or aunts to their brothers to be their mothers-in-law. But those ordinary people, why do they attack themselves, and when did they offend them?

"They are afraid that Huayin will also become Qiangbai or Chang'an." Wang Tianzhong sighed helplessly, "When we break through, in order to block the Beiyang soldiers, we must set fire." The people in the city probably guessed about this, so they attacked us first. ”

The city gate defended by Wang Tianzong has not been lost, the Zhensong army is relatively complete, and the nearby streets are also controlled by them. As soon as Guo Jian came, he immediately ordered the city gate to be opened, and then the horse team of the Zhensong army rushed out. Guo Jian and Wang Tianzong were in the middle, both front and back were Zhensong cavalry, and Guo Jian's own soldiers were only a dozen people.

These generals had a lot of momentum, and when they left the city, they lowered their bodies, put them on their horses' necks, and rushed to the barracks of the Lu army. The Lu army did not seem to be prepared for their counter-assault, and suddenly disorganized, released two rows of guns, and began to flee in all directions, making way for them.

Guo Jian's ears were windy, and he raised the speed of the horse to the extreme, and said to Wang Tianzong on the side: "Big brother, don't go so quickly." Since he rushed in, let's make trouble for him, Cao Xiucai and Gao Jun are in the camp. Let's rush to get them out and show ourselves a face! ”

Wang Tianzong laughed and praised "It makes sense!" Come, let's rush together! ”

Inside the city, the defense line of the Fuhan army had collapsed. This is not a problem of Bai Lang's command, or the poor combat effectiveness of the Fu Han army, but the sudden defection of the people in the city, which caught the Fu Han army by surprise. The people, who usually lowered their eyebrows and were pleasing to their eyes, suddenly picked up their knives and slashed at the Fu Han army beside them. With the sound of the gong, the whole city seemed to suddenly come to life, turning into a giant and fighting against the Fu Han army. Every mansion, every commanding height, there may be bullets, and the streets that used to be used for people to walk have become deadly traps at this time.

The guards of the large families shot at the civilian troops below on the top of the wall, or led people out to kill the reinforcements or wounded of the civilian army. The supplies were seized by the people during the transit, and the heralds were killed on the way. On the front, the Beiyang soldiers rushed in like a tidal wave, leaving the way with bullets in their hands, and several two-pounder cannons scattered iron balls on the heads of the Fuhan army.

Bai Lang, who lost generals one after another, only had more than 30 subordinates left around him, as well as a general named Li Fang. All of them had blood, more or less, and wounds. They retreated from the fortifications in the middle of the street, and instead retreated to the Eight Immortal Towers in the city, which was a three-story restaurant in Huayin, which could barely be regarded as a commanding height. Occupy there, and you can also fight street battles with Beiyang.

Just a few steps away, I saw an armed force of hundreds of people coming from behind, and the leader shouted, "The Governor, the Governor is not there?" ”

Li Fang recognized that the person was Liu Zhenhua, the fierce general of Zhensong, and his heart was ecstatic, and he hurriedly said: "The metropolitan governor is here!" ”

This team has more than 200 people and is very complete. Bai Lang stepped forward and grabbed Liu Zhenhua, "It's the right time to come, your two hundred people, now under my command, let's fight back and take back the position." ”

Liu Zhenhua didn't move, "Governor, I'm here to find you, to seize the position, I'm afraid I don't have a chance, right?" The Beiyang soldiers have all entered the city. ”

"Their foothold is not stable, now is the opportunity, a counter-assault, beat them out, Huayin is still defending."

A few cannons rang out, and in the ears of several people, there was a roar, and Liu Zhenhua said something, but Bai Lang didn't hear it. It wasn't until the ringing in his ears passed that he asked, "What did you say?" ”

Liu Zhenhua put his head close to Bai Lang and shouted into his ear with all his strength: "I said, Huayin can't hold it!" Because, the Beiyang soldiers were put in by us, and the Zhensong Army accepted the adaptation of the Zhengfu! ”

With these words, Bai Lang's hand was violently grabbed by Liu Zhenhua and carried to his back, not allowing him to resist, and several subordinates in Zhensong's army who were good at fighting had rushed up and held it firmly. As soon as Li Fang drew his gun, Liu Zhenhua's gun had already gone off, Li Fang's body trembled, and then he fell down weakly along the wall.

The rest of the Zhensong army had already moved, and in the flickering of the sword, the remaining soldiers of the Fuhan army fell in a pool of blood. Bai Lang struggled violently and scolded angrily: "Liu Zhenhua, treachery!" You wait, the eldest brother will not let you go, and Commander Guo will not let you go! ”

Liu Zhenhua lowered his head and said in Bai Lang's ear: "Metropolitan Governor, are you still confused?" How dare we accept the adaptation without us speaking out on a big pole? As for Guo Jian...... You'll be able to see him soon. (To be continued.) )
