Chapter 293: The Fall of the Cheng Family (Part II)
293. The Fall of the Chartered House (Part II)
Cheng Jiajun was as anxious as a lost dog, desperately fleeing towards Dali Mansion, while the iron-blooded army with trucks and motorcycles was easily pursued behind, and from time to time eliminated the small team left by Cheng Feng, and when Cheng Feng fled into Dali Mansion City, the remnants of his hands were less than 10,000.
How could the Cheng family army, which had lost all its heavy weapons and had been sharply reduced in numbers, be able to resist the large army of the iron-blooded army that was chasing after him, after holding on for a day, Cheng Feng took advantage of the darkness to open the south gate and fled in disguise. Having lost their commander, the Cheng family army in Dali quickly surrendered.
After eliminating the main force of the Cheng family's army, Liu Mingzhao began to contact Xia Yuhui, hoping that the two sides could unite against the enemy, and Liu Mingzhao was quite polite to the lord's father-in-law. Unexpectedly, Xia Yuhui's answer was quite concise, the Xia family army defended on the spot, did not hinder any action of the Iron and Blood Army, and could even provide food.
With Xia Yuhui's guarantee, Liu Mingzhao let go of his hands and feet, and Liu Yaqing took his second army and went straight to Wenshan Mansion, which had been besieged by the Xia family army for a long time. At this time, Xia Yuhui was also commanding under the city of Wenshan Mansion, and when he saw the lord's father-in-law, Liu Yaqing was quite respectful, and Xia Yuhui said that he was unable to attack the city, and if the iron-blooded army wanted to attack, the Xia family army would give up its position.
Liu Yaqing immediately said that he would capture Wenshan Mansion as soon as possible, and then the Xia family army withdrew from the siege position and was taken over by the iron-blooded army, while Xia Yuhui stayed in Liu Yaqing's command post, and he was also very curious about what kind of combat effectiveness his son-in-law's private army had.
As soon as he saw the teams of iron-blooded soldiers, Xia Yuhui was attracted by the bells and whistles of their training uniforms, and with his professional eye, he could easily see the effect of the color of this kind of clothes, and he couldn't help but admire the carefulness of the Chinese leader.
Then Xia Yuhui was a little incomprehensible, the large and small pockets and tactical backpacks on the training uniforms of those soldiers were bulging, with his many years of experience in fighting horses, he couldn't understand the purpose at all, he couldn't help but smile and asked Liu Mingzhao, who was standing on the side, "Lord Liu, what are you soldiers doing with so many pockets and backpacks on their clothes." ”
Liu Mingzhao said respectfully: "This is all used to place weapons. Saying that, Liu Mingzhao beckoned a soldier in the team, and when he saw the commander looking for him, the soldier immediately ran out of the queue, saluted Liu Mingzhao in a very standard posture, and then said: "Report, Corporal Chen Shaoguang reports." ”
Seeing the soldier's neat military appearance, Liu Mingzhao nodded with satisfaction, he pointed at Xia Yuhui and said: "This Lord Xia is the father-in-law of the lord, he wants to know what the pockets and tactical backpacks on your body are for, you can introduce them." ”
Hearing Liu Mingzhao's words, Chen Shaoguang agreed, saluted Xia Yuhui again, and then began to point to his pocket and explain. He first pointed to the two long leather boxes around his waist and said, "This is where we put the rifle bullets, each box has sixty rounds, a total of one hundred and twenty rounds." ”
Then he pointed to a few bulging pockets around his waist and said, "This is where the grenades are placed." ”
"This is the pocket of a tactical dagger, the holster of a pistol." He pointed to the two pockets on either side of his thigh.
Chen Shaoguang's pockets have their own uses, pistol bullets, detonators, folding sapper shovels, bayonets, military rations, water bottles, waterproof flashlights, all things have special pockets to place, so many things still look very neat when hung on the body, Xia Yuhui couldn't help but sigh that the Iron Blood Army has a wide variety of equipment, and the design is ingenious.
Liu Yaqing did not express the slightest objection to Xia Yuhui's observation and staying to watch the battle, the advanced equipment of the Iron and Blood Army and the reasonable combination of troops are not something that can be learned by visiting.
For the lord's father-in-law, Liu Yaqing instead smiled and introduced his own weapons and troop deployment to him. Soon, the Iron Army's signature 203 mm heavy cannon opened fire again, and the loud sound startled Xia Yuhui, who was unprepared in his thoughts.
The huge cannonball fell on the wall of Wenshan Mansion City and exploded directly, and the huge explosion power directly overturned a section of the city wall. The reinforced concrete machine gun fortress on the city wall, which the Xia family army could not destroy no matter what, was directly sent into the air and smashed heavily on the ground, not to mention that the two machine gunners inside had already been smashed into meatloaf.
The sharp artillery of the iron-blooded army made Xia Yuhui stunned, and he realized that his father said that the Xia family army was definitely not the opponent of the Chinese army, and it was not alarmist. Before, he insisted on attacking the Cheng family, and he also had the idea of teaching a superior relationship with his son-in-law, but now the reality in front of him has made him unable to mention the slightest intention of winning.
Wenshan Mansion was easily knocked on the door, and Cheng Wei was directly bombarded by heavy artillery, and those Cheng Jiajun could only choose to flee in front of the fierce iron-blooded army.
The main force of the Cheng family army was completely annihilated, and the remaining troops defending the city could only survive, the seemingly majestic city wall, but could not resist the footsteps of the attack of the iron and blood army, and soon Lijiang Mansion and Jinghong Mansion were conquered one after another, and the iron blood army and the Xia family army jointly surrounded the Cheng family's most rearmost base, Xuanwei Mansion, the capital of Jiaozhi County. It was only because the second prince was still in the city, and Fang Xiaoyu didn't want others to catch the truth, so he suspended the pace of the siege.
In the face of this incoming enemy army, Cheng Yuhuan knew very well that he had no chance, so he gritted his teeth, simply did not do anything, and killed the second prince directly, and then claimed that the second prince was the culprit who killed the first emperor and the crown prince, and he had corrected it.
A day later, Cheng Yuhuan gave up the gold, silver and jewelry that the family had accumulated over the years, and left his mansion with all his family members and disappeared without a trace, and no one has seen them since.
After the surrender of the Cheng family, the property left by the Cheng family was jointly received by Liu Mingzhao and Xia Yuhui, and most of the jewelry that was robbed by the Cheng family's army was also recovered under strict inspection.
Although the wealth left by the Cheng family is piled up in a lot, it is far less than the amount of wealth that Cheng Yuhuan looted from the capital as rumored in the market.
The issue of finding the whereabouts of the Cheng family has also been concerned by all parties in the Lanfang Empire, but no matter how they search, the Cheng family seems to have evaporated from the world, and they can't find the slightest trace, in fact, they have indeed evaporated from the world.
"How's it going?" Zhao Quan, who was sitting at the desk, asked as he drank wine.
