At six or seven o'clock in the evening, Han Zheng and his follow-up troops also came from behind, and Han Zheng had to encourage this battle.

At the same time, Han Zheng was worried that after the news of the defeat of the southern army in Yingshang City reached Bengbu, the reinforcements of the southern army would arrive in advance, so in order to prevent accidents, Han Zheng and Chen Feng and the staff officers discussed and decided to attack the city overnight.

The strength of the three regiments of Han Zheng's army has reached more than 4,000 people under Yingshang City this time, and various departments have rushed to assemble one after another.

In this siege battle, Han Zheng took a regiment in the middle of the road, and the second and third regiments were on the east and west sides respectively, and slowly pressed towards Yingshang City, so as to disperse the already small number of defenders in the city, and this time Xiang Jie, who wanted to be the vanguard force, had already sent the search force in his regiment to the city!

In Yingshang City, since the news of the annihilation of the entire army of Shibalipu came, the people in the city were already panicked at this time, and they had no courage to resist at all, especially those local defenders, who were even more afraid to go up the city wall.

This afternoon, the sound of artillery that did not stop came from time to time, and standing at the head of the city, you could even see the smoke and dust stirred up by the artillery fire and the shouts of the soldiers in the direction of Shibalipu.

At that time, it is estimated that the southern army in Bengbu should finish resting and recuperate, and will drive to the front line of Yingshang one after another.

Therefore, at about six o'clock in the evening, after receiving the news of the annihilation of the entire army of Shibalipu, whether it was the southern army defending the city or the local garrison, they had to send a letter of help to the direction of Bengbu again, hoping that the army in the direction of Bengbu would come up as soon as possible.

However, when it was more than seven o'clock in the night, thousands of troops attacked the city on three sides, and clearly told the defenders that their delusions had disappeared, and what they feared most was quickly confirmed!

At seven o'clock in the evening, after cleaning the battlefield, the three regiments of the army came to Yingshang City, Han Zheng did not even let his subordinates set up a temporary headquarters, according to what Han Zheng said to his soldiers: "We have to sleep well in Yingshang City tonight, and now we have to tear down the tent when we go back, it's too troublesome." ”

I don't know who spread Han Zheng's words, and suddenly the hearts of all the troops burst into laughter, as if the shadow caused by the casualties in the afternoon had disappeared.

Han Zheng stood at the bottom of the city, not far away, and could even clearly see the pale faces of the defenders at the head of the city, smiled with satisfaction, and then began to order the artillery to cover the city.

Twelve Krupp cannons shot out one after another, smashing down on the city head with a whistling sound, Han Zheng could feel the vibration of the ground under his feet, all the siege soldiers and demolition troops were ready, especially Xiang Jie's second regiment and his own regiment were even more eager to try, for that city wall, there was no worry at all.

"People are useless, no matter how powerful the defense is, it is in vain, there is no city in the world that cannot be attacked!"

What Han Zheng didn't expect was that the city wall of Yingshang County was quite strong, and the cannonballs smashed on it did not cause any damage to the city wall, and only when the cannonballs fell on the city wall could a corpse be thrown from time to time.

Han Zheng had prepared to face this situation earlier, listening to the sound of sparse rifles in the night sky coming from the city wall, he sneered in his heart but didn't care.

More than a dozen soldiers of the demolition squad who had been prepared, carrying in their arms a group of special explosive bags, began to rush out under the artillery fire, bowed and ran towards the city gate, and all the heavy machine guns also opened fire and strafed the city, so that the defenders who had just emerged had to retract their heads again.

The soldiers on the city wall trembled and shrunk into a ball, their faces pale and did not dare to move on the city wall, so many cannons were too terrifying for them.

I don't know who suddenly said at such a time, and his voice was full of despair: "Let's surrender!" ”

Hearing this, there was a sudden silence around him, and he fell silent, not knowing what the soldiers were thinking at this time.

However, this sentence was heard by He Tian, who was in charge of guarding this section, He Tian was the confidant of the county magistrate of Ma in the city, and he did not do less evil on weekdays, and he scolded the soldiers under him, he did not think of surrendering, but according to the evil things he did and the little understanding of what Han Zheng did, he knew that even if he surrendered, there would be no good results, especially if he was still a cronie of the county magistrate Ma, he was even more desperate for this thought, just thinking that he would block the night by the city wall first, and then say, once he insisted until tomorrow, Then the reinforcements from Bengbu will come up, and they will continue to enjoy their good life.

For this, I hope He Tian will take the whip and whip the group of cowards under his command to go up to the city wall!

However, when He Tian heard this, he suddenly became afraid, this fear was like a fear from the depths of his soul, he knew that once these soldiers surrendered, then he would have nothing!

So under the threat of this fear, he had to do something to keep his last glimmer of hope, and he didn't dare to take any risk to let this thought continue to spread!

Thinking of He Tian here, he was furious, raised his hand and pointed the pistol in his hand at the subordinate who said this, and then shot at the other party without hesitation

The surrounding soldiers all turned their heads to look at the dead robes at this time, their eyes were full of incredulity and fear, and for a while, this place was strangely quiet!

"Look at what! Don't let me keep it honestly, be careful that I can't let you eat and walk around! If anyone is messing with our army like this dead ghost, this is an example! ”

He Tian was looked at by the faint eyes of the soldiers, and his whole body became a little chilled, and he shouted cruel words loudly, as if he was using this to embolden himself.

Looking at He Tianshi's fierce appearance, the soldiers were driven by instinct to lie down in their positions again, but the hatred in their hearts was like a fermented seed, slowly germinating until the ground was broken!

However, just when He Tian breathed a sigh of relief, a loud roar suddenly came from the crowd again, "Let's not give this dog [mother's dry, fucking sooner or later, we are going to die sooner or later, we are tired and tired like a dog, and our military salary has been swallowed by this dog's day, brothers will die sooner or later, it's better to do the opposite!" ”

This sentence sounded in He Tian's ears like thunder, and in an instant He Tian's face turned pale, and under the shame and fear, he couldn't care when it was, so he stood up suddenly, pointed the gun at his subordinates, and "bang" was two shots, and he killed his two subordinates again like crazy!

When everyone was nervous at this time, maybe it was the blood of the robe that stimulated the soldiers around them, maybe it was the two shouts in quick succession that said their hidden hearts, and it was more likely that the strength of the enemy outside completely destroyed their fear of He Tian, at this moment everyone's eyes became blood-red, and they frantically rushed to He Tian, and when He Tian didn't react, they were instantly beaten into a sieve!

Then after the two dozen or so people around killed He Tian again, they shouted in unison, "We are reversed, reversed!" ”

And the southern army finally discovered the anomaly here, but there was nothing to do, the only thing they could do was to escape from the city while Han Zhengjun had not sealed the city gate (to be continued). )
