Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Facing Zuo Mengeng's more than 100,000 troops, Gu Zhenhua only left one regiment of Zhou Yingjie by his side, and the rest of the troops were all placed outside the city. This is also a strong confidence in An**, no matter how many cattle and sheep, they are not the opponent of the lion!
As expected, Zuo Mengeng tried his best, but he was beaten in the city and his head was bleeding, don't think about it. Between the ruins and the streets, is Ann's last hunting ground. The firecrackers reap lives with ease, and the grenadiers throw deadly grenades. Those who rushed to the front were all easily dealt with, and those who were behind were simply unable to move forward and were unwilling to die.
The battle outside the city also reached a critical moment, and Xie Bin led two regiments to attack Zhang Yingxiang's camp in the south of the city. Zhang Yingxiang and Zhang Yingyuan are brothers, and they are both die-hard supporters of Zuo Mengeng. With more than 20,000 troops under his command, he was the most important force stationed in Wuchang.
If you want to fight, you can fight the most difficult, Xie Bin commanded the soldiers, surrounded Zhang Yingxiang's department from both sides, and under the cover of artillery fire, they directly pushed over.
Zhang Yingxiang sent cavalry to try to break through the junction of the two regiments of An**, who knew that Xie Bin had already prepared and arranged fifty off-the-box trucks.
The soldiers quickly connected the carts together to form a strong fortress, and then took cover from the wagons and fired at the cavalry.
Their task was extremely simple, that is, they kept throwing out the firecrackers, and the whole formation was like a fire hedgehog. Unlike the three-stage strike in the field, in this case, only one shooter is arranged in a shooting hole, and the task of the others is to load the firecracker, and then send the firearm with a rod to the place, and they don't need to care about what happens outside.
As long as the firepower output is strong enough. Not to mention Huguang's army, even the Eight Banners of the Tartars don't want to help them!
This method of warfare was used by Gu Zhenhua when he was highlighting Beijing. And at this time it is more mature and sharper. Each shot hole is guaranteed to shoot a bullet in a single breath.
It was like a storm, as fast as lightning, and those cavalry could only rush to about fifty paces at most, and beyond that was the absolute forbidden area.
One by one, layer upon layer, perhaps the death was too fast, and the soldiers were not aware of it. is still desperately rushing forward.
Syllable!
The bullet hit the arm of a leading general, and he only felt that his arm was much lighter, and when he rushed out five or six steps and looked down, he was shocked to realize that his left forearm had been lost, and half of the white bones were exposed in the air.
"Ahh
The guy screamed in pain and fell to the ground.
He was sitting on top of a corpse. The remaining right hand was pressed against the shattered skull, and the hands were full of brains, blood, and an eyeball was also glued to the hand.
"Run!"
He screamed in pain, got up from the ground, and ran back. The rest of the cavalry was also shocked. They shouted and fled. Running faster than when you came!
The cavalry was Zhang Yingxiang's baby bump, and he was so vulnerable that three or four hundred people died at once, which completely scared him stupid.
It just so happened that at this time, the herald sent by Zuo Mengeng also found him. Let him immediately go and increase the number of personnel.
Zhang Yingxiang's anger had no place to vent, and he suddenly flew up. Kicked the soldier in the lower abdomen, kicking him far away, almost passing out.
"Reinforcements? Tell SΓΉ Young Marshal, Lao Tzu only needs reinforcements now, the more the better! β
Zhang Yingxiang scared the herald away, and waved his hand to pull another one.
"Quick, go and ask for help! Go and sue Jin Shengheng and ask him to help! β
The soldier urged the war horse and flew to Jin Shengheng's camp. At this time, Jin Shengheng also got Zuo Menggeng's request for help and wanted to help. But who knows, before leaving the camp, Ma Jinzhong rushed over with people.
"Brother Jin, between life and death, you must not make a mistake!"
Ma Jinzhong said earnestly: "The strength of the Duke of Ji is strong, and he is a strong soldier in the world. And Zuo Mengeng was young and confused, and he self-destructed the Great Wall. If he didn't fight to the death with Wang Yuncheng, Huguang would still have the strength to fight, but now, he is just a lamb to be slaughtered. Brother Jin, even if you go to help, it's just rubbing the rouge and powdering the dead, is it useful? β
"This!" Jin Shengheng couldn't help but groan.
"Brother Ma, Zuo Dashuai recruited us back then, it was a great favor, people can't forget their roots, don't care if I succeed or not, it's a dead horse to be a live horse doctor!"
"A dead horse can't live, a live horse has to die sooner or later!" Ma Jinzhong said unceremoniously: "Brother Jin, you may be worried about Ji Guogong's personality. However, I have already heard Yuan Zongdi say that Ji Guogong also treats the surrendered troops equally. He, Tian Jianxiu, as well as Li Guo, Gao Yigong and others have all surrendered to An **, and now they are all leading the regiment commanders. Moreover, Yuan Zongdi also said that the Duke of Ji did not kill King Chuang, but let Mrs. Gao take the young master overseas. To tell the truth, we are not Zuo Liangyu's cronies, and we don't do much evil, why don't we change our minds and be an upright person! β
"You, what you said is true?"
"It's true!"
Jin Shenghuan frowned, turned back and forth on the ground several times, and finally gritted his teeth.
"Brother Ma, I'll believe you once! I followed the thistle country! β
"Good!" Ma Jinzhong said with a smile: "Brother Jin, we can't help in the big war, and it's not easy to help." But I mention yΓ¬ the two of us to take down the water division camp for Ji Guogong! β
Ma Jinzhong is indeed not simple, his vision is very poisonous, Wuchang guards the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, and also guards Dongting Lake, and the strength of the water division is quite strong. There are more than 1,000 warships of various sizes and nearly 20,000 soldiers, although they are much worse than Shen Tingyang's sailors, they are more suitable for fighting on the Yangtze River.
This sailor is in Zuo Liangyu's hands, more of an escape tool, when he ran to Huguang, he thought about when the enemy would go south, and then run to Nanjing.
But if it is replaced by Gu Zhenhua, it will definitely make this sailor prosperous!
After Ma Jinzhong and Jin Shenghuan discussed it properly, they didn't care about the battle in the city, and directly took the men and horses to receive the water division.
At this time, the battle outside the city had been decided, Xie Bin rushed into Zhang Yingxiang's camp with his men and horses, and Zhang Yingxiang fled into the city in a hurry. The rebels are like headless flies, scurrying around.
Ann ** followed. If you are far away, you will shoot with a firearm, and when you enter, you will pick it with a bayonet, and everywhere you go, there will be corpses everywhere. This group of fierce tigers rushed through Zhang Yingxiang's camp and fought all the way to the south city gate.
As soon as Zhang Yingxiang fled in, he wanted to close the city gate, but the deserters behind him were still alive, and they also chased after him.
"Your Excellency. Wait a little man, how many years have we been working for you! β
"You can't die without help, leave us to Ann!"
"Wait, sir!" A soldier grabbed the horse's tail, and Zhang Yingxiang was in a hurry and cut off the horse's tail with a knife.
"Quick, pull up the drawbridge. Don't let Ann ** kill you! β
As he shouted, four or five more soldiers rushed up.
"Headquarters, our brothers are all outside!"
"you!" Zhang Yingxiang swung his knife sharply and slashed at a soldier's chest. The blade was embedded in the armor, and the soldier clutched at it.
"My lord, the little one has blocked the arrow for you. You're doing this to me? β
Zhang Yingxiang's eyes were also round, and his hand was forceful, stirring the wound.
"Get out of the way!"
This soldier's mouth was bloody, and he staggered and fell under the horse, and his eyes were still unwilling! Others saw their companions die. All of a sudden, it's all frying!
"My lord, how can you be so ruthless! We rebelled! β
In an instant, the soldiers drew their swords. slashed towards Zhang Yingxiang.
"Big guy, hurry up, kill Zhang Yingxiang, and exchange his head for our lives!"
"Yes, kill Zhang Yingxiang!"
In an instant, the soldiers at the gate of the city were killed together, and they themselves became a pot of porridge.
At this time, Xie Bin rushed up with the people, and he was overjoyed at the sight of it, and rushed to the front.
"Get out of the way!"
As he rushed, he waved the machete in his hand, and a dozen soldiers fell into the moat. At the gate of the city, my parents screamed, so miserable.
Zhang Yingxiang looked at it and knew that it was not good, this was unstoppable, he could only seize the road and escape. Xie Bin led the men and horses to kill from the south gate.
Many Huguang soldiers knelt on the ground.
"My lord, we are willing to listen to An**, please take us in!"
Xie Bin laughed: "It's good to know that you are lost!" You immediately lead the way for Ben General, as long as you capture Zuo Mengeng alive, you will be considered meritorious! β
Xie Bin marched forward, and on the side of Xicheng, Yuan Zongdi also brought men and horses to kill him. Yuan Zongdi had one more heart than Xie Bin, and he asked Ma Jinzhong for a city defense map. He directly led his men and horses towards the Chu Palace, which was Zuo Liangyu's temporary marshal's mansion.
Yuan Zong came over the first way, bypassed a street corner, and happened to be opposite a group of people, for Li Wanqing. They are also old acquaintances.
"Brother Yuan, Ji Guogong is really powerful, the left thief attacked the Yamen according to the inspector, he didn't move forward, and he also lost his troops, you follow the little brother, let's go find Zuo Mengeng!"
"Okay!"
Yuan Zongdi followed Li Wanqing and rode to the palace of the king of Chu.
didn't run far, and a group of people happened to come in front of him, and the one who rushed to the front was Zuo Mengeng. He frequently urged reinforcements, but no one came, Zuo Mengeng was also stupid, he wanted to go out of the city to transfer troops in person, but he didn't know that he collided with Yuan Zongdi.
"Haha, left thief, your time of death has arrived!"
Zuo Menggeng's eyes also widened: "Li Wanqing, you dog that bites the master, I will kill you!" β
"Zuo Mengeng, what kind of thing are you, and you are also worthy of Lao Tzu as the master, let's see who is the real hero and who is the coward!"
The two of them were killed together at once, and the soldiers behind also rushed up, soldier to soldier, general to general, and the fight was so lively.
Yuan Zongdi has been training with An ** for so long, and his ability to use soldiers has also increased, so he hurriedly dispatched his subordinates to form an encirclement on the periphery first, so as not to let Zuo Mengeng escape. Then he personally rushed up with his men and horses.
"Zuo Mengeng, surrender obediently!"
Yuan Zongdi and his subordinates took out their handcuffs, and when a gunshot rang out, more than 20 of his cronies fell to the ground, Zuo Mengeng was suddenly shocked, and was slashed in the shoulder by Li Wanqing, and the blood gushed out unstoppably.
