Tongzhou is only sixty miles away from the capital, and a good war horse can rush to the capital in just half an hour, so the battle of the Zheng family's army to attack Tongzhou has become the most critical battle.

If the capital is not aware, the Zheng army must do three things in the process of attacking, one is to end the battle in the shortest possible time, it is best to compress it within two hours, so that the capital can not react, the second is not to let any of the soldiers of the Dashun army escape, especially the cavalry, let go of any cavalry, which means that the news is leaked, and the third is that the battle is best carried out in the city, try not to have a large-scale fight in the wilderness, otherwise the surrounding people may see it, and the news will also leak out.

The sergeants of the Dashun Army stationed in Tongzhou, according to the intelligence reaction, were also 10,000.

The Dashun army stationed in Tongzhou was far more than 10,000 people, reaching as many as 50,000 people, but the remaining 40,000 people followed Li Zicheng to a stone expedition to fight.

Li Zicheng still attaches great importance to the defense of Tongzhou, which can be regarded as one of the gateways to the capital.

The sergeant of the Dashun Army stationed in Tongzhou was also one of Li Zicheng's elite troops.

This means that the battle to capture the state is particularly important.

Zheng Xunrui thought of more.

After the battle of Yishi, regardless of whether Li Zicheng won or lost, he would lead the army to withdraw from the direction of Tongzhou to the capital, and at this time, Tongzhou would truly become the gateway to the capital.

Zheng Jiajun took Tongzhou cleanly, ordered the Chinese army to rush to Tongzhou quickly, and hold Tongzhou, block Li Zicheng's main road to withdraw from the capital, strangle Li Zicheng's army in Tongzhou, and give Li Zicheng a devastating blow here, which is entirely possible. In this way, the battle can be kept away from the capital, and the capital is also protected to a certain extent.

The combat deployment was carried out while the officers and men of the Zheng family army were resting.

Zheng Xunrui, who had been thinking about it for a long time, looked at Zheng Jinhong and the others after facing the request of the map to fight.

There was a deathly silence all around, no one spoke, and they all knew the difficulty of the battle.

But they also waited for Zheng Xunrui to speak. In their opinion, Zheng Xunrui can think of a solution to the great difficulties.

It's a pity that they were wrong this time, Zheng Xunrui is not an immortal, and it is impossible to come up with a magic plan every time.

"The battle of Tongzhou was a vicious battle, we had no opportunity to take advantage of the opportunistic corners, only a hard attack, the front army of 22,000 people, leaving 2,000 people in Yingzhou to guard the prisoners. Waiting for the arrival of the Chinese army, the remaining 20,000 people, divided into two parts, 15,000 people to attack the city of Tongzhou, 5,000 people to guard the periphery, Li Zicheng is very important to Tongzhou, Wanping and Shunyi and other places outside the capital, and no unrelated people are allowed to operate in these places. This gives us the opportunity not to reveal the whereabouts of the 5,000 people on the periphery for a short time. ”

"We don't have much time to fight. It is necessary to take Tongzhou within half a day, Gu Junen, who stayed in the capital, this person has some ability, the army led by Li Zicheng and Liu Zongmin is fighting on a stone, Gu Junen will definitely send personnel to understand the battle situation at any time. It is very likely that these people will pass through Tongzhou, and Li Zicheng and Liu Zongmin will also send personnel to the capital to report the situation. ”

"The vicious battle is nothing to the soldiers of the Zheng family, many of the former soldiers who attacked Tongzhou this time have followed me into Tongzhou City, which is actually a city dominated by barracks. Therefore, when it was built, the city was very strong. ”

"The scout battalion is responsible for the attack, and you must use the power of the Mauser gun to make the rogue in the city have nothing to do."

"The scout battalion is the most elite sergeant of the Zheng family's army, Wang Xiaoer, I hope you will fight quickly, the main task of the scout battalion is to capture the city wall, open the city gate, and let the cavalry battalion complete the rest of the fighting."

"The scout battalion will send a thousand soldiers to attack the city, and I don't care what method is adopted."

When the army was about to start going to Tongzhou, Zheng Jinhong and Wang Xiaoer found Zheng Xunrui.

"Dashuai, Counselor Wang has some ideas, report to Dashuai."

Zheng Xunrui nodded, and Wang Xiaoer quickly spoke.

"The commander, the soldiers of the scout battalion, all of them are extraordinary, the idea of the subordinates, can they attack the city of Tongzhou in the middle of the night, the soldiers of the scout battalion climb the city wall unconsciously, and after seizing the city wall, open the city gate, so that the casualties can be reduced......"

Zheng Xunrui listened carefully, and he didn't want the casualties of the scout camp to be too large.

"That's a good idea, but do you know that there are torches lit on the city of Tongzhou all the time, and it is impossible to attack while it is dark."

"My subordinates have thought about it, and when the rogues are always tired and negligent, the subordinates lead the soldiers of the scout battalion to attack when they are ugly, as long as they move quickly, they have no way to resist."

Zheng Xunrui thought for a moment and nodded.

"Very good, the soldiers of the scout battalion, the weapons must be complete, the bow and crossbow are the most important offensive weapons, if they are found in the process of attacking, the use of the bow and crossbow may not alarm other rogues."

"Yes, my subordinates will set off with a thousand soldiers from the scout battalion, and ask the commander to wait for the good news of his subordinates."

After Wang Xiaoer left, Zheng Jinhong looked at his back and stopped talking.

"Jinhong, say whatever comes to mind."

"Yes, young master, my subordinates think it's a pity to let the scout battalion take the task of the main attack, the casualties of any soldier in the scout battalion are a big loss for the Zheng family's army."

"Raising troops for a thousand days, using soldiers for a while, the stronger the sergeant, the more important it is to play a role at the critical moment, the meaning of this battle, I don't need to say that you also understand, let the scout battalion take the task of the main attack, it is indeed distressing, but such a price must be paid, so as to ensure that we can achieve the final victory in the battle."

When it's ugly, it's silent.

Wang Xiaoer, who was dressed in black, and the soldiers of the 1,000 scout camp had already attached their bodies to the city wall.

The nearly two-zhang high city wall is six meters high, which is two meters lower than the city wall of the capital.

The fifty soldiers of the scout camp personally selected by Wang Xiaoer, including himself, would climb up the city wall without relying on any tools, and they would also have to carry bows, crossbows, ropes, and other things.

This seemingly impossible task can be completed by the soldiers of the Zheng Jiajun Scout Battalion.

In the devil training of the scout camp, there is the course of freehand climbing, and even the soldiers of the scout camp can be fully qualified in this kind of training, not many of them.

Momentum: This is the content of the elite training of special forces hundreds of years later.

The walls are made of bricks, and where there are hands, you can climb them with enough strength on your wrists, fingers, and feet.

The climb starts on time.

Nine hundred and fifty men clinged to the wall, motionless, they would not look upward, once the fifty scouts climbed up, they would drop the ropes, they quickly climbed up the city wall along the ropes, there were patrolling sergeants on the wall, these sergeants would definitely be killed, but in the process of killing, they could not make any sound, otherwise the fifty scouts who had gone up earlier would be in danger.

When Wang Xiaoer climbed to a place not far from the wall, his brain was blank, and the physical exertion was too great at the moment, and he couldn't feel it in the training on weekdays.

The footsteps of the patrol sergeant can already be heard, and at this time it is necessary to climb up and shoot the patrol sergeant with lightning speed, and then pick up the sergeant from the bottom of the city wall, and when he climbs to the middle of the city wall, he can avoid the eyes of the patrol sergeant, but when he approaches the battlements, it is impossible to avoid the eyes of the patrol sergeant.

When Wang Xiaoer climbed the battlement, he saw that more than a dozen people had climbed the battlement.

The figure of the patrol has already come, and there are about a dozen people.

Wang Xiaoer took out his bow and crossbow, and his eyes became cold.

The patrol finally came, twelve people, a squad.

Countless bows and crossbows flew towards these twelve people in an instant, there was no shout, there was no ** sound, the bows and crossbows were too dense, and the sergeant who was shot didn't have time to make any sound.

There was still the sound of the weapon falling to the ground, Wang Xiaoer's face was pale, and he looked around, but fortunately there was no movement.

All fifty sergeants went up to the city wall, and twelve of them, regardless of the three or seven twenty-one, stripped off the battered clothes of the dead sergeant, draped them over their bodies, took up their weapons, and pretended to be patrolling.

The rope was dropped, and more sergeants began to climb towards the top of the wall......

The battle of Tongzhou began like this, so that Zheng Xunrui didn't expect that Li Zicheng was full of thoughts of Shanhaiguan, and there were no soldiers stationed outside Tongzhou City, all 10,000 soldiers were stationed in Tongzhou City, and Li Zicheng, who might go to Shanhaiguan with a large army to fight, thought that it was most important to hold the city.

The killing unfolded in the middle of the night, and when the soldiers of the Zheng family army rushed into Tongzhou City, many soldiers of the Dashun army were still resting and sleeping.

By the time they came to their senses, there was no time to resist......

Zheng Xunrui was also outside, and Wang Xiaoer had already led the soldiers of the scout battalion and began to patrol the periphery.

In the battle to attack the city of Tongzhou, the scout battalion had zero casualties, which is unbelievable.

In fact, the defense on the city wall of Tongzhou is not strong at all, after the battle, Zheng Xunrui knew that there were 1,000 people patrolling the city wall, but most of the sergeants were sleeping, and there were only 36 people patrolling at night, and these 36 people were divided into three shifts, each class of 12 people, responsible for patrolling for an hour.

This is why the soldiers of the scout battalion were able to climb the city wall smoothly.

The barracks were two hundred meters away from the city wall, and the movement above the city wall was not heard at all.

When the city gate was opened and the sergeants in the barracks woke up, what was waiting for them was the bows and crossbows in the hands of the scout battalion soldiers, and they had no way to resist, and they screamed and were shot.

The battle that followed was much smoother, and the army entered the city and began a massacre.

The battle of Tongzhou ended bloodlessly.

Zheng Xunrui was very excited, he found out for the first time that he even underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Zheng family's soldiers.

With such a strong army, no one can match it. (To be continued.) )
