Chapter 436: Not the same
Half an hour later, a fierce battle was taking place at the gate of Fang County, Li Dingguo and Gao Yingen were standing on the city gate, looking at this scene, their faces were full of anxiety and uneasiness, and a leader of the rebel army next to him asked puzzledly: "Dingguo, I really don't understand, since Zuo Liangyu is chasing other rebel troops, why don't we take advantage of the chaos to leave Fang County?" While the attention of the Ming army is elsewhere, there should be a high probability that we will escape from this place. ”
Although Gao Yingen didn't say anything, the same look showed that he had the same doubts in his heart, and looked at Li Dingguo with the other leaders of the rebel army.
After all, the rebel armies that withdrew first had successfully attracted Zuo Liangyu's main force, which meant that Luo Rucai, Zhang Xianzhong and others had already borne most of the risks, and it would be easier for them to escape.
"Leaders, this is the case, our coalition army is already unstable, once we retreat in a hurry, two or three thousand Ming troops can defeat us, and we are unable to fight back, but it makes the situation even more disadvantageous, it is better to stick to it and wait for reinforcements, so it will be safer."
At this moment, listening to the tragic sound of the fight, without Li Dingguo's too much explanation, these people also know in their hearts that most of their rebel armies win with strength, and once there is a decline, it is really a defeat like a mountain, and one escapes faster than the other.
Especially on the way to retreat, once there is such a Ming army chasing and killing with its buttocks, even if it has tens of thousands of people, it can be killed by hundreds or thousands of Ming troops and flee in embarrassment.
The relationship is chaotic, the heart is not quiet, and they will ignore their own shortcomings, so as to minimize the danger of the enemy as much as possible due to the role of the heart, Li Dingguo just woke them up, remembered their own shortcomings, and Yuanfei imagined that it was so powerful.
Since the family knows their own affairs, the reason why the Ming army calls itself a thief, calls itself a rabble, is not without reason, the war is a rush up, a swarm of bees to beat, relying on the number of people, if there is a slight decline, the Ming army is a little tougher to resist a little, it will be defeated like the water of the ebb tide.
At this moment, everyone's mood was very heavy and worried, suddenly, everyone's expressions changed suddenly, and a "rumbling" sound suddenly sounded in their ears, looming, more and more clear, louder and louder, and suddenly someone exclaimed: "It's not good, I'm afraid it's the cavalry of the Ming army is coming, get ready for defense!" ”
This is almost a knee-jerk reaction, I don't know who shouted this sentence, but it represents the thoughts of the vast majority of people, Li Dingguo instinctively thought so, and followed with a trace of panic: "Leaders, I'm afraid there will be a vicious battle next......
"Ah~ not good, the enemy attacked, there was a sneak attack by the chaotic army!"
Although the people on these city gates could not hear the screams and exclamations of the Ming army, the scene was very chaotic, covering up all the sounds, but there were still people who saw it at a glance and made the most accurate judgment, and the words were full of faint excitement and excitement, and more of a relief in their hearts.
"You see, it's not reinforcements from the Ming army!"
Although I don't know who shouted this sentence, others have already seen the clues, not only because all kinds of gunfire suddenly burst out, overpowering other sounds, but also because the cavalry is attacking the rear of the Ming army, but it is only a few breaths of time, and a large open space has appeared in the rear of the Ming army, and there are corpses everywhere.
The situation took a sharp turn for the worse, and the Ming army originally had the upper hand, but soon showed a declining trend and gradually lost its support.
Da Da...
Boom boom...
The guns roared, the artillery roared, and the rebels defending the city all stopped their movements, and some of them were stunned in place, stunned by the sudden change, and their mouths grew up in shock, and they snorted for a long time, pointing to the distance, their mouths were slightly open, but they couldn't say a word.
It's so shocking, everyone has never seen such a battle scene, it is simply a one-sided crushing and slaughter, and the Ming army has no power to fight back!
The dense firepower, blooming with dazzling light, was filled with white mist, and the Ming army fell one by one, like harvesting crops.
There was also the cannonball fired by the tiger squat cannon, which was extremely powerful, far exceeding the tiger squat cannon they had seen before, affecting a wide range, and the people near the central explosion point were instantly blown to pieces, which was more tragic than the corpses of five horses!
"It's... This... Is this the real combat effectiveness of the Dashun Army? ”
The leader of the rebel army muttered a word, his face full of fear, his body trembled, his voice trembled, his eyes widened, his eyes rushed to confusion and confusion, it was an expression of almost despair, and there was no sense of confrontation.
The change came suddenly, and it ended quickly!
"Hurry ~ Hurry ~ Hurry open the city gate and welcome the Dashun army into the city!"
Compared with the fear of others, Gao Yingen was very happy, the stronger the Dashun army behaved, the happier he was, constantly beckoning the soldiers defending the city, opening the city gate, and running down in a hurry to welcome the Dashun army into the city.
Li Dingguo did not have any obstacles, let alone any doubts, he had been by Li Zicheng's side for a long time, and he was very familiar with Li Jiajun.
What's more, he also saw a familiar figure, Gao Yigong who was riding a horse slowly, wearing a helmet and armor, which looked extremely burly at this time, but Li Dingguo's heart was a little gloomy and a little lost.
The age difference between the two is not much, but the difference in achievements is so great, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are worlds apart.
It is not the same, and perhaps the gap between the two can best be described!
In the military town of Xiangyang, Yang Sichang's "four positive and six corners" logistics support place stores a large number of weapons, money, silver, grain and grass and many other important strategic materials.
At this time, the city was filled with gunsmoke, fires, and all kinds of terrible shouts, which completely disrupted Xiangyang City.
"Oh no, run, the rebels are coming into the city, run for your life......"
"Oh no, the defenders are invincible to the rebel army, the city gate has been lost, and the rebel army has entered Xiangyang City, everyone run~!"
"Flee quickly, the defenders of the city have surrendered, and Xiangyang City has fallen."
......
In the midst of the fire and smoke, the city of Xiangyang was full of all kinds of rumors, the people were panicked, and the defenders of the city were even more scrambling, and began to scatter one after another, fleeing to the wilderness outside the city.
The Dashun army suddenly appeared, a cavalry went straight to Xiangyang City, the fierce and fierce atmosphere made people frightened, and the people and the Ming army who ran around flashed back, or lying in the corner, or holding their heads in their hands, squatting aside.
Liu Tichun appeared in the Dashun army, rode his horse slowly, and when he saw that Xiangyang City was easily taken, he couldn't help but burst into laughter, and said to himself proudly: "Haha... I didn't expect the Ming army to be so unbearable, so I was able to get it, but I was just asked to set a few fires in the city, shouting and shouting a few times everywhere, Xiangyang City was actually messed up like this, it was really unexpected! ”
Liu Tichun's voice stopped abruptly, as if he had thought of something, he turned his head to the adjutant beside him and ordered: "By the way, there is a decree in the saint, the vassal kings of the Ming court cannot be killed lightly, and those who are not traitors and evildoers, and those who are not heinous cannot be executed in public, and they must all be sent to the capital to arrest Zhu Yiming, the king of Xiang, and Zhu Changfa, the king of Guiyang, and wait for the emperor's disposal!" ”
"Yes, General!"
The adjutant general agreed, and immediately led a team of men and horses to speed up, went straight into Xiangyang City, and went straight in a certain direction.
At the same time, Liu Tichun asked about the smell of smoke that was getting thicker and thicker, and when he looked up again, he saw black smoke in the sky above Xiangyang City, and faintly heard the sound of the fire raging, his expression fell, and he said in a deep voice: "Pass the order, and put out all the fires in Xiangyang City for me!" ”
