Chapter 50: Risking Your Life
An hour passed immediately, and Nozu Michikan put away his pocket watch and said coldly, "Order all squadrons to launch a general attack on Xianyang City!" â
"Your Excellency the division commander, the fire under the city is still burning, is it a temporary attack!" Fukushima Yasumasa glanced at Xianyang City and said with a frown.
"Yaga! How could a little flame stop my heroic Japanese locust army! Wouldn't it be enough to order the sappers to blow up all the grain trucks blocked in the hole in the city gate with explosives? Command to attack immediately! Nozu Michikani said loudly.
"Hay! Your Excellency, the commander of the division, is wise! Fukushima Yasumasa couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Jiang is still old and spicy! But Fukushima Yasumasa had a question in his heart, in that case, why did Nozu Michikan wait an hour before launching an attack, wasn't it a delay of an hour in vain?
After delivering the order, Fukushima Yasumasa couldn't help but ask the question in his heart. Nozu glanced at Fukushima Yasumasa, "You are simply stupid!" The reason why I was in a hurry to attack before was to take it by surprise. And now that the Qing army has discovered the locust army and has made some preparations, the locust army has lost the best opportunity to capture Xianyang City. And the locust army is exhausted after a night of rapid marching, and this hour is to let the locust army rest and recuperate! â
"I see, His Excellency the division commander is like a god with soldiers, and the five-body body that is admired by his humble duties is thrown to the ground!" Fukushima Yasumasa suddenly realized.
"I know what's going on in your mind?" Nozu Michikani glanced at Fukushima Yasuya and said with a smile, "You must be wondering, since the locust army is already very tired, why don't you rest for a while." I also know the hard work of the locust soldiers, but we don't have much time left. Ren Chao, the commander of the Qing army in Shanqing County, is not a simple figure, otherwise Oshima Yoshimasa and others would not have been planted in his hands. The suspicious soldiers of the squadron outside Shanqing County could only hide it from him for a while, I am afraid that now Ren Chao has led the reinforcements to return to Xianyang quickly! In other words, we only have two hours left at most, and if we can take Xianyang within two hours, we will all be alive, if not, this is the place where we will be buried! At the end, Nozu Michikani couldn't help but sigh.
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, don't worry, two hours is enough, and the Locust Army will definitely be able to take Xianyang City!" Fukushima Yasumasa said respectfully.
Nozu nodded noncommittally, glanced up at Xianyang City, and couldn't help but show a hint of a smile, "Yo Xi! Big drop good! Ha ha! â
"Why is Your Excellency the Division Commander laughing!" Fukushima Yasumasa asked suspiciously.
"Yo Xi! Fukushima-kun, you see, although the fire temporarily stopped the locust army. However, the smoke from the fire also obscured the sight of the Qing soldiers on the city wall, so that the Qing army's shooting hit rate would inevitably drop exponentially, and my heroic locusts soldiers could use the cover of smoke to quietly approach the city gate, and then blow open the city gate hole with explosives, as long as the locust army can break into the city along the lĂŹ, Xianyang City is ours! Ha ha! Nozu Michikani laughed excitedly.
"Sonesine! Stupid Qing soldiers, this is lifting a stone and shooting yourself in the foot! Fukushima Yasumasa turned his head to look, and sure enough, he saw that a large section of the city wall near the city gate tower was shrouded in smoke, although he did not stand on the head of the city, but Fukushima Yasumasa could also guess the situation of the Qing soldiers on the city wall at this time, thinking of the helpless and embarrassed expressions of the Qing soldiers on the city wall at this time, Fukushima Yasumasa couldn't help laughing.
"Nope! No! The Qing commander of Xianyang was not stupid, in that situation, attacking with fire was the best way, otherwise it would be our heroic locust soldiers standing on the city wall at this time! Nozu said with a wave of his hand.
"Fuck! These little devils, all of them are better than monkeys, hiding in the smoke, and they can't see clearly at all, how to fight this battle! Ahem! The company commander couldn't help but curse loudly, and because he opened his mouth to speak, he inhaled a lot of smoke and couldn't help but start coughing violently.
"No matter how hard it is, you have to fight!" Zhao Bin gritted his teeth and said, "Immediately order the Dongxue Army to block the city gate hole with sandbags for me, and you must not let the little devils rush into the city!" â
After Zhao Bin finished speaking, he took a few soldiers to the city gate tower in smoke, and vaguely heard movement below, Zhao Bin picked up an explosive bag and lit it without saying a word, and then went down, "Boom!" A violent explosion rang out, faintly mixed with a few screams.
"With a bag of explosives! Blow it up to Lao Tzu! Devils must not be allowed to get close to the city walls! Zhao Bin turned around and yelled at the soldiers behind him.
On the official road from Shanqing County to Xianyang County, Ren Chao led his seven hundred soldiers to rush all the way north.
"Lord Ren, it's not a way to go on like this, many soldiers have already begun to fall behind!" Zhou Tai came to Ren Chao and said loudly.
Ren Chao looked back, and sure enough, he saw that there were soldiers left behind, even the soldiers who barely kept up were tired and out of breath at this time, and their steps were empty, as if they might fall at any time. Although these system fighters are not afraid of life and death, they will be tired, and their combat effectiveness will also decrease.
Ren Chao sighed helplessly and said, "Xianyang is in danger, if you can't rush to Xianyang City, the consequences will be unimaginable." â
"Report~!" At this moment, a tiger army scout arrived on horseback, the scout pulled the reins, directly turned off the horse, and ran to Ren Chao's horse, "Qi Qi Lord Ren, the Japanese invaded Xianyang in a big way, Camp Commander Zhao ordered us to report to Lord Ren, please let Lord Ren rescue Xianyang quickly, otherwise Xianyang is about to be lost!" â
"Bastard!" Ren Chao couldn't help but scold, "These dog-day Oriental crumbs!" Zhou Tai! â
"Mark it in!" Zhou Tai replied loudly.
"I will immediately lead a platoon of guards to ride horses to support Xianyang, and you will lead a large army to arrive later!" Ren commanded loudly.
"How can an adult be the head coach and take risks lightly, or let the standard lead the team to support Xianyang, and it would be good for the main force of the adult to support later!" When Zhou Tai heard this, he hurriedly persuaded.
"Less nonsense! I'm in my own hands! Execute the order! After Ren Chao finished speaking, he didn't even look at Zhou Tai, and directly led more than 30 guards to ride away.
Zhou Tai looked at Ren Chao's distant back, and couldn't help but sigh, "Pass the order, speed up and rush to Xianyang!" â
"Battalion commander, what about the soldiers who have fallen behind!" At this time, a company commander couldn't help but ask.
"What else can I do, just let them follow later!" Zhou Tai said angrily.
Ren Chao led dozens of guards to run all the way to the north and went straight to Xianyang. After about an hour or so, he finally arrived outside Xianyang City, and when he heard the faint sound of gunfire in the city, Ren Chao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, it was finally not too late!
