224 The corpses are piled up
Wang Lanping looked at Li An, who walked out slowly, and immediately changed into the beloved white horse, and also led a few personal soldiers to rush over.
The two of them got closer and closer, and both sides were a hundred steps away from their respective arrays.
Wang Lanping raised his chin, "You are Li An, the former governor of Liangguang?" ”
Li An has been on the battlefield, and his momentum is extraordinary, and he arched his hand, "It is the old man, presumably Your Excellency is Wang Lanping, who claims to be the King of Han."
Wang Lanping didn't have a verbal dispute with him, and pointed to the soldiers and horses under the city and said: "Let me ask you, this king is ordered to march westward, and you are not in the administration of Liangguang, why did you run here to block the way of my army?" ”
Li An sneered, "There is treachery in the court, causing the Son of Heaven to be dusty, the country will not be a country, the official eats the king's Lu loyal to the king, recently there are many royal relatives and nobles who have died unexpectedly, how can the old man sit idly by, the old man is not here to block the road of the Han King, just because the soldiers under the old man are afraid of the army of the Han King, and do not want to repeat the mistakes of the Huizhou Mansion, so as to protect themselves, and forget that the Han King does not need to be careful"
Wang Lanping beheaded a bunch of officials under the butcher's knife under the pretext of insufficient military rations in Huizhou, and the matter spread thousands of miles downwind.
Wang Lanping also smiled: "This is Jiangxi, not Liangguang, you have transferred troops here without authorization, don't you know that this is a ban?" What's more, you have been transferred to Nanjing, and you have no right to meddle in the military affairs of the two Guangzhous, so you only have two ways at the moment."
Ang Lee looked calm, "Which two?" ”
Wang Lanping instructed Ancheng, "First, hand over the military power, immediately go to Nanjing to take office, explain to the emperor today's matter, whether guilty or not guilty will be decided by the criminal department"
Li An laughed: "How can the old man be tied up and wait for the second one?" ”
"This king will regard you as rebels, and you will be exterminated on the spot on behalf of the Son of Heaven."
Li An's face sank, and he shouted: "So you say that King Han, you insist on fighting?" ”
"It's up to you whether you fight or not, if you don't get old and dizzy, open your eyes and see, can you rabble stop me? This king doesn't want to hurt the innocent, so I'll give you half an hour to think about it, listen, after the three-way drum is over, you won't have a chance to surrender if you want to"
After that, Wang Lanping pulled out his horse and returned.
Li An was extremely angry in the back, and shouted: "Surrender? You, Wang Lanping, are the real rebels, why should the old man surrender to you?"
Wang Lan didn't look back, and threw down a sentence and said: "It's good to do it yourself"
Li An gritted his teeth, and he could only pull out the horse and return at the moment.
After a short time, a middle-aged man in a red official uniform was escorted by ten guards to the front of the two armies, and one of the people beside him held a large flag in his hand, which read: Governor Liangguang and other places, supervising military affairs and salaries and governors.
The person under his command is the new governor of Liangguang Zhang Tongchang, who is nearly forty years old, he came to the front of the army and shouted: "This governor Zhang Tongchang, by order to the governor of Liangguang, order you to lay down your arms within half an hour, return to the original station to be punished, if you do not obey within the time limit, the court will regard you as a rebel, the three drums are over, and you will be exterminated on the spot" He left with a sentence.
For a while, tens of thousands of Guangxi soldiers looked at each other, and the already chaotic lineup would be even more chaotic, and many people invariably shrank near the city gate.
Knock knock knock......
The two-way drum sounded.
While! A spear fell to the ground, and the man's face turned pale immediately, and he quickly picked it up and said, "Damn it, it's a miss."
Time is flowing quietly, the sky, there is no trace of wind, the heat is breathless, the flag on the city wall of Nan'an does not move at all, tens of thousands of pairs of eyes and unease in the city outside the city are focused on the city tower, everyone is waiting for Governor Li to make the final choice, 50,000 people followed Li An to Nan'an City, the vast majority of small soldiers, including middle and lower-level officers, don't even know what happened, but unexpectedly become a rebel in a blink of an eye, how can it be reasonable, if it really becomes a rebel, not only does it not have military salary, but the family is also implicated, and the rebellion will punish the nine clans.
Li An also felt more and more pressure, but the matter has come to this point, he has no way back, he will fall into the hands of Wang Lanping, his head will soon be hung on the city gate to show the public, no matter what, he has to fight, how to say that there are only 20,000 people on the other side, but there are a full 50,000 troops in Nan'an City, and it is difficult to predict who wins and who loses.
Li An thought wrongly, what he wanted to keep was his position, even if he succeeded, it would only make him alone, and the best result would be to stay as the governor of Liangguang, but what good was the people below? This is not a hero in the world, and it is all glorious.
Li An climbed the city tower again, looked at the mighty and majestic array in the distance, and then looked at the group of frightened soldiers outside the city gate, and made a judgment.
"Someone, give an order, close the city gate" Li An gritted his teeth and immediately ordered.
As the gates slammed shut, the outside of the city immediately became in turmoil, and some people in the crowd pointed at the city and shouted, "Why do you close the gates?"
As soon as the city gate is closed, it is equivalent to destroying the hope of these people's lives, but in other words, can it also stimulate their fighting spirit, fight against the city, and destroy the ship.
Li An can't control so much, so he won't wait for the other party to attack.
For a while, officials and generals at all levels gathered at Li An's side.
Li An took out the sword on his waist, and said with great righteousness: "Colleagues, Wang Lanping is in trouble with the court, covering the sky with one hand, and there is no king in his eyes, we have been deeply favored by the emperor for a long time, and the service should be served today, if you want to be rich and noble, I hope that all the kings will work together and fight hard, come to people, raise the trumpet, and beat the drum"
Everyone was howled by him, and everyone knew that everyone was in the ghost gate, and one foot was in the door and the other was outside the door, and there was no room for maneuver.
Knock knock knock......
The war drums at the head of the city roared, and the horns were in the sky, which was the military order for the whole army to cover up.
Li An stood in the city tower, raised his long sword, and shouted loudly: "If we are not in trouble, it is really Wang Lanping's thieves who forced us to wait too much, there is no way to retreat, Li will fight to the death with all the soldiers, live and die together, whoever kills one person will be rewarded with one hundred taels of silver, and those who kill the head of the thief Wang Lanping will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of silver, and all the soldiers will be killed."
The military order is like a mountain, although it is afraid, but it can only attack hard, and in an instant, the wind and clouds are thunderous, the dust is heavy, and the shouts of killing in the sky are surging towards Wang Lanping's array, without any formation, as if they are rushing over to fight in groups.
The two armies are more than a mile apart, Wang Lanping took Song Dali and several staff members to choose a higher mound, riding a horse, at this time, a banner of Cao Dingjiao in the distance danced, Wang Lanping looked at it, this is Cao Dingjiao asking whether to go to war, everyone is calling the door, how can there be no answer.
Wang Lanping asked the flag soldiers around him to wave the flag immediately, and then nodded to Song Dali, and Song Dali nodded and left.
The Dingyuan battalion has already been ready, and with Cao Dingjiao's order, the war drums in the army also sounded, and the horns were loud.
Boom!
The ten general cannons at the front of the position were the first to roar, and a salvo was fired, and black smoke billowed out, and the smoke of this black powder was too great.
Suddenly, at the front line of the Guangxi soldiers' impact, earth and rocks flew wildly, and a few shells smashed into the crowd with just one catch, and flesh and blood flew sideways.
After a round of test firing, the remaining 20 general guns also readjusted their angles and roared, only hitting the rebels on the opposite side on their backs, and the flying stones could kill a bunch of people.
If this man goes to the battlefield and listens to the earth-shattering cannon fire and howling and shouting, you will already forget where you are, and you will not even have time to be afraid, death will come at any time.
After two rounds of volleys, many Guangxi soldiers wanted to run to the edge of the city when they saw that the situation was not good, but before they could approach the city wall, the city was rained with arrows.
Ang Lee yelled in the city: "Those who retreat, behead"
If you don't die before the battle, you will die in military law, and in short, you won't survive.
After two rounds of volleys, hundreds of Guangxi soldiers had fallen, but they were already less than 100 feet away from the Dingyuan battalion.
Cao Dingjiao ordered again, and with the change of the order flag, the artillery had stopped shelling, and five hundred musketeers followed it with neat steps, a row of 100 people.
"Ready! Put! ”
A row of gunshots rang out, and the smoke filled the air, and in the smoke the back row followed.
"Ready, put!"
After the five rows of gunfire, the Guangxi soldiers who rushed to the front fell in an instant, wailing in all directions, and the pace of the impact slowed down, their faces were full of fear, and more people had scattered to both sides.
Five hundred musketeers took turns firing each other, unhurried, and behind them a thousand longbowmen joined the battle, throwing their bows and arrows raining down on the enemy on the opposite side.
In the face of a wave of long-distance strikes, the Guangxi soldiers have become frightened birds, only caring about holding their heads and scurrying, and most of the impact momentum that had just given up their lives and forgot to die was suddenly discarded.
Li An at the head of the city had round eyes, holding the hilt of the sword creaking, and the commander on the side Zhou Xian was already colorless, looking at the glance in front of him and said: "Li Du, this, this is suicide, retreat, you can't attack"
Li An gritted his teeth and shouted: "A group of rice buckets, attack, attack, bite him to death"
With the strength of 20,000 rabble and the army of the king of Han, they were defeated, and then they were sitting on the advantage of the fisherman, Li An did have some means, even if these 20,000 people were all pigs, the arch could also arch off the opponent's combat effectiveness, but the changes on the battlefield were far beyond his expectations, with the roar of the guns and cannons of the imperial army, the Guangxi soldiers fell thousands of people in a blink of an eye, and so far it seems that the other party still has zero casualties, and it can't rush through at all.
**
Wang Lan watched all this calmly, as if the clouds were light and the wind was light, and waved his hand towards the five thousand iron horsemen who were ready to go, "Song Dali, take the head."
Song Dali had already been suffocated by the steaming weather, and as soon as the military ordered, he wheeled up the big knife and rushed out, twisting an already fierce face, and yelled: "Brothers, if you are tired of watching the play, go down and stretch, and keep up with Lao Tzu, at night Song Ye invites you to eat and drink in a big bowl, hug the girls, and kill"
Listening to Song Dali's nondescript ******, Wang Lanping frowned, where is this regular army, it is clear that the bandits are going down the mountain to rob, but this kid's soldiers obey him, and never regard fighting as a major event in his life, in his opinion, if a man does not go into battle, it is as useless as marrying a woman and not being able to.
Wang Lanping just wanted to raise his hand to stop him, they were all dragon and tiger generals, don't go to the battlefield desperately, but before he could speak, Song Dali's burly body had already disappeared in the rolling iron stream.
The horse's hooves shook the earth, and the dust rising from the sky completely wrapped the thousands of soldiers of the forest guards, and in the eyes of the tens of thousands of Guangxi soldiers who were frightened, where was a cavalry unit, it was clearly a tornado with momentum, and it was rushing towards them with the power of the wind and goose feathers.
At the same time that Song Dali's cavalry rushed out, the five groups of infantry army formations of the Dingyuan battalion also slowly marched towards the city wall, and the position of the general's artillery extended forward, and there was a great momentum of breaking through Nan'an City in one fell swoop.
In the blink of an eye, before Yu Linwei's iron cavalry rushed to arrive, the Guangxi soldiers who were at the forefront of the team were already trembling with their legs, throwing down their weapons and flags and running, one run, ten heels, ten runs, one hundred followers, one hundred runs, and a thousand are attached, and finally the whole army is scattered, and more than 10,000 people rushed towards the city gate to both sides, trampling on each other and the dead are uncountable.
The city gate of Nan'an City was crowded with people, pushing the city gate while crying and begging the people inside to open the door, but the answer to them was that there were waves of arrows, no matter how stupid Li An was, he would not open the city gate, and the city gate would not be closed once it was opened.
Song Dali took the lead, wielding a broadsword of nearly ten catties in his hand, without opening his eyes, with the impact of the war horse, he could cut off a bunch of heads and shoulders with a random swing, Yu Linwei's combat effectiveness would definitely make Li An have nightmares at night, thousands of broadswords condensed into a straight line, and plunged into the large array of Guangxi soldiers, and forced a bloody alley from it, until more than 1,000 enemy soldiers were separated from the ranks of nearly 20,000 Guangxi soldiers and partially surrounded.
In an instant, more than 1,000 people in the encirclement of Yu Linwei were like falling into the eighteenth layer of hell, and they threw their weapons into the pile, and more than 5,000 big knives were slashed in a circle, without half a lifetime of mercy, the encirclement became smaller and smaller, and the corpses were layered on top of each other, and almost everyone in the more than 5,000 Yu Linwei was dyed red with blood.
The other Guangxi soldiers and Li An on the city wall watched the terrifying scene, and they didn't even have the idea of counterattacking, where are the soldiers of the Han King who are people, they are simply a group of butchers who are getting more and more excited about killing, one by one like the bloodthirsty ghosts.
In just a few moments, Yu Linwei had completely closed the encirclement, and none of the more than a thousand people who were surrounded inside came out alive, and the battlefield was filled with the smell of blood, which was disgusting.
Song Dali's whole body was soaked in blood, he squeezed out of the crowd, waved his army and shouted at the Guangxi soldiers who were shrinking under the city: "Put down your arms, you can live, those who dare to resist, this is your fate"
As soon as his words fell, more than 5,000 Yu Lin Wei behind him also pointed at the earth-colored Guangxi soldiers with their big knives that were still dripping with blood, and shouted in unison: "Put down your weapons, you can live ......."
The lethality of this voice is even more terrifying than the slashing just now, with the sound of a wave of tightness, but also with the Dingyuan battalion infantry military formation, the Guangxi soldiers under the city finally recognized the current affairs, this battle can not be fought, desperate is just to die.
While! While! While......
A long knife and spear began to be thrown to the ground, two people walked out of the crowd, untied the saber at their waists, threw it on the ground, and when they ran to the front of Song Dali together, they knelt down: "The sin will be Lu Yuan, the general of Wuzhou"
Another humanitarian: "The sin will be the general soldier of Liuzhou"
The two of them said in unison: "I am willing to return to the imperial court, today's action is really coerced by Li An, I dare not stop the king of Han, please ask the general to accuse the king of Han if we wait."
Song Dali didn't bother to look at them, and said with his teeth bared: "****, you know how powerful your grandfather is, order all your soldiers to lay down their weapons and gather in the west of the city, and after the battle is over, the King of Han will deal with it."
How dare the two of them slack off, just as they were about to give the order, many people began to run towards the west of the city, for fear that this murderous man would regret it for a while.
Li An's face in the city turned green with anger, and he gritted his teeth and scolded: "Villain, villain, greedy for life and afraid of life, come to someone, shoot me, shoot them"
The arrows were flying one after another, but the general trend was gone, and no one could reverse the current situation, and from time to time some people in the retreating ranks fell, but it did not stop these people's desire to survive, and in the blink of an eye, the position outside the city gate left a hundred and ten wounded soldiers who fell to the ground with arrows and wailed in pain.
Song Dali looked at Li An on the city wall, far away, he couldn't see what the expression on the guy's face was, but he could guess it, and immediately wiped the blood on his face and inserted the big knife back into the horse.
A young general on the side carried a knife and said: "Master Song, let's take down the city in one go, this is the first achievement, and the King of Han will not reward our brothers and sisters."
Song Dali stretched out his head and patted it on his helmet, "Beat your aunt, can you run horses on the city wall, open your eyes that only look at the girls, how many arrows are in the battlements are aimed at us, give the order, withdraw, let the brother troops also warm up, damn, Lao Tzu's crotch is soaked with sweat, and when I enter the city, I have to find at least two girls to clean up."
Everyone laughed, the horse turned around, and retreated, and the artillery team of the Dingyuan battalion behind also followed up to the city, and the defenders on the city wall were already within the effective range of the cannons. (To be continued.) )
