Chapter 3 The Surrender of the Opening of the City
The dozens of green battalion soldiers showed obvious signs of struggle, and even some people argued in a whisper, they could also see the shape clearly, and they all agreed with Wang Feng's persuasion, before the middle of the Qing Dynasty, the green battalion was still called elite, but with the long period of peace, the battalion affairs were slack, and it has become increasingly corrupt, and the battle with the Sichuan Chu White Lotus Sect in the early years of Jiaqing is even more decadent, and now it is decades later, and the combat effectiveness of the green battalion is not at all comparable to that year.
Take themselves as an example, being a soldier is just a mixed meal, and the generals are busy filling their own pockets, not only are the equipment backward, the soldiers are not satisfied, and the occasional drills are also a pretense, embarking on the old road of the Ming Dynasty's guards.
Look at the long hair again, but the morale is high, there are many people, it is only a time to break the city, as the city gate guard, it is difficult to survive when the city gate is broken, even if you kneel and surrender, it will not help, this is no way, the city gate hole is narrow, the other party wants to enter the city as quickly as possible, and he kneels in it but blocks the road, and a shot kills the most neat.
But the Green Battalion implements the world military system, and the ancestors have been brave soldiers of the Green Battalion for generations, and after two hundred years of high-pressure rule, they all agree with their slave status, and the psychological resistance to surrendering to the Taiping Army is very great, not to mention that Lu Jianying's promise is also very attractive.
On the one hand, it is brave to take the first step, and on the other hand, it is really difficult to choose to stand and wait for death!
Lu Jianying was sweating profusely, and the two full generals were also anxious, but unlike the green battalion soldiers, they didn't have to worry about Lu Jianying's life and death, although Lu Jianying was the governor of Liangjiang, and his official residence was from the first grade, but as a Manchurian, he was the master, and he was born one level higher than the Han officials!
A full general shouted: "What are you stunned about? Go and save Lord Lu! ”
"Don't come here!" Lu Jianying was anxious and angry, and then called, he could feel that Wang Feng's knife was pressed more tightly with the order of the general, and it seemed that as long as he used one more force, he could cut his throat!
"Shooting, accidentally injuring Lord Lu, the official is responsible!" Another full general waved his hand!
"Tzabulon, you are so daring! Don't shoot, whoever dares to shoot, this officer will be punished by military law! Lu Jianying's seven orifices were smoking, and he threatened continuously, you know, Wang Feng was sticking to the city wall, he was in the front, and he was the first to die when he shot!
The green battalion soldiers and guards were in a dilemma, but Wang Feng frowned, and the general did not take Lu Jianying in his eyes, which was indeed beyond his expectations, the situation was deadlocked, but the longer it dragged on, the more unfavorable it became, so he suddenly looked behind everyone and shouted ecstatically: "Shi Dangdang, you are good to come, quickly take the brothers to open the city gate!" ”
Shi Dangdang is another name for Shi Dakai, from Wuchang to the east of Jinling, 28 days to advance 1,800 miles, the battle will be won, the attack will be overcome, the Qing army is frightened, the stone of the number dare to be.
Sure enough, everyone subconsciously turned their heads to look, and taking advantage of this opportunity, Wang Feng stretched out his arm, and his waist knife shot out like lightning, and he was exactly inserted into the face door of a full general!
"Ahh The general screamed, covered his face and fell, Wang Feng hurriedly called: "Qinggou is dead, even if you capture Lao Tzu, you will be punished, the only way to survive is to open the door and surrender, now they are all under Lao Tzu's command, shoot immediately, kill Lu Jianying's guards, and then open the city gate, quickly!" ”
"Damn, Lao Tzu was killed by you!" A rough man shouted, raised his hand and shot the rest of the generals, and the first person to shoot, although everyone else gritted their teeth with hatred for Wang Feng, they had no choice but to fire at Lu Jianying's guards.
"Bang bang bang~~" Lu Jianying's guards suffered from the lack of people, not to mention that they didn't dare to shoot in the direction of Lu Jianying, after a burst of green smoke, they were all killed, and the green battalion soldiers only suffered a few casualties.
"Kalala~~" Dozens of men struggled to open the city gate, Lu Jianying knew that the general trend had gone, especially the city was broken and related to himself, and the crime was added to the first degree, and he was suddenly paralyzed, thanks to Wang Feng's support, he could barely stand.
Outside the city, the top brass of the Taiping army was closely watching the battle situation at Yifengmen, and their operational deployment was to use Yifengmen as a breakthrough to attract the attention of the Qing army with a strong attack by ground troops.
"East King!" Shi Dakai frowned and reminded: "Look, the firepower on the city seems to have weakened. ”
Yang Xiuqing is also secretly puzzled, Jiangning is a big city, the material reserves are sufficient, although 15,000 defenders are not much, but in the era of a large number of guns, 10,000 people defending the city and 100,000 people defending the city is not much different, the key is the guarantee supply of ammunition, grain and grass, today is March 18, he only waved his army to attack Jiangning, the Qing army can not be so quick to run out of ammunition!
"King Dong, look, the city gate is open!" Su Sanniang, a famous female general of the Taiping Army, suddenly lost her voice and screamed!
Brush Brush Brush! Dozens of eyes all cast their eyes over, and they saw that as the city gate opened, dozens of guards with guns and soldiers fired inside, and a soldier walked out against the city wall, holding an official in his hand.
This official, dressed in a crane patch, with a ruby on the crown, is clearly a first-class member of the Qing court!
"Could it be Lu Jianying, the governor of Liangjiang?" Hong Xiuquan's righteous sister, Hong Xuanjiao, the female camp supervisor, couldn't help but reach out and cover her mouth!
Sure enough, as soon as Hong Xuanjiao's words fell, the soldier Yong shouted: "Wang Feng of the Han Dynasty, with the guards of Yifeng Gate, captured Lu Jianying, the governor of the Qing Demon Liangjiang, and now open the city gate, act righteously, and welcome the king!" ”
Everyone in the Taiping army looked at each other, which disrupted their combat deployment, and there were still doubts about whether Wang Feng was really surrendering or false, after all, Lu Jianying could find someone to pretend to be, or Shi Dakai immediately decided: "King Dong, whether it is a fraudulent surrender or not, but the morale of the Qing Demon is low, the troops are insufficient, and our army rushes in with all its might, and I am afraid that he will not be defeated?" ”
Su Sanniang also nodded and said: "The Wing King is reasonable, not to mention that our army has limited ammunition, and it is a little bit to save a little." ”
Yang Xiuqing hesitated slightly, then waved his hand: "The whole army presses on!" ”
"Kill!" The shouts of the mountains suddenly exploded, and with the dense attack drumbeat, the Taiping army rushed towards Jiangning like a tide!
Generally speaking, the destruction of the city gate means that the city has fallen, not to mention that the morale of the green battalion banner soldiers is low, the military affairs are in ruins, and the more than 1,000 defenders deployed in the area of Yifeng Gate immediately fled to the city like crazy, and the firepower at the head of the city also stopped abruptly!
Wang Feng turned around and called: "Brothers, go out of the city with Lao Tzu and welcome the heavenly army!" ”
Hijacking the governor Lu Jianying, killing the Manchu generals to drive the city gate guards to a dead end, and opening the city gate to welcome the Taiping army, which of these does not require courage and knowledge? Although Wang Feng was only a brave man who was temporarily recruited to defend the city, and his status was lower than that of the green battalion banner soldiers, at this time, he had already become the leader of these dozens of people!
The first rough man who followed Wang Feng was called Lu Dayou, and at this time he also called: "Lord Wang, the brothers will believe you this time!" After speaking, he and everyone ran out before the Taiping army entered the city, dropped their guns and knives, and stood along the city wall!
