Chapter Ninety-Seven: Breaking the City
After a light meal, everyone almost achieved their goal, and the relationship was much closer.
For the next day and night, the stone throwers in Nancheng continued to bombard, but they had already been handed over to Peng Yibin's troops, and the personnel of the Red Turban Army were only responsible for guidance; The engineering team also took turns to work and excavate with all their might, and finally completed the task on schedule.
Meng Jiucheng immediately informed Peng Yibin that the assault troops should be prepared before midnight, divided into the east and west gates, and strengthen the defense of the south gate.
On that night, the besieging troops went to rest early, leaving only the vigilant troops to patrol the camp. The two-day stone bombardment also caused the Jin army to move troops to the south, which played a role in feints and containment.
At four o'clock, the assault troops were woken up, sorted out and quietly dispersed to the designated area.
At five o'clock, Meng Jiucheng was rewarded everywhere, and the assault troops of the two armies were in place and ready to attack.
At three o'clock in the morning, when the sky was white, but it was the time when people were most sleepy, two fuses were lit and they quickly headed for the city.
Looking at the city wall of Yizhou, Meng Jiucheng's mood at this time was unusually calm, and even he felt strange.
The time passed so slowly, Meng Jiucheng's calm mood did not last long, and when he raised the telescope for the third time, a loud noise broke the silence of the morning.
Thick black smoke rose from the walls of Yizhou, and the earth shook violently. In the field of vision, the city wall of Yizhou burst open from the inside out, and the broken wood and ash rose into the air, as if a monster suddenly drilled out of the belly of the city wall, roaring into the air.
Then, the smoke and dust obscured the wall, and nothing could be seen. But it didn't matter anymore, people had already seen the walls blown open and the assault began to the sound of drums and trumpets.
Groups of Red Turban soldiers, under the command of the officers, ran forward with shouts and charged. The further improved siege plan even took into account the armor of the forward soldiers, and all kinds of armor were available, and the protection was strong.
"Rush, kill!"
There are the same shouts before and after, and He Sanbao is no exception, undoubtedly, such shouts can make people more excited and more fanatical. Without the slightest hesitation, he led his soldiers into the slightly thin smoke and dust.
In the choking smell of black powder, mixed with the wails of the wounded, and stumbling under his feet, He Sanbao narrowed his eyes and tried to advance through the broken wood and clods.
Finally, the eyes suddenly lit up, and they had rushed out of the smoke-filled area. Although it is still as blurry as a fine mist, the view is basically unobstructed. He saw Jin Bing, sparsely lala, who didn't seem to have woken up from his daze. He also saw his comrades, and the team in front of him was screaming and lunging up.
……………
He was awakened in his sleep, and he was horrified to see that the beams were still shaking, and that the old ashes were about to fall. His face changed, Huo Ran sat up, and he didn't know what was going on?
By the time he got up and dressed, the commotion outside could already be heard. But he still didn't expect that the city had been broken, and the enemy was rushing to kill in the city.
When the guards ran in in a panic to tell that the city had been broken, and the enemy had opened the north and east gates, and were pouring in, the servants were shocked and angrily reprimanded the guards for talking nonsense.
……………
The resistance of the Red Turban Army that broke through the city defense was very slight at first, first, because the focus of the Jin army's defense was not here, second, because of the sudden explosion and a round of heavy bombardment, which caused heavy casualties to the Jin army, and the rest were surrounded by fear and confusion, and did not organize effective resistance in a short time.
The soldiers of the Red Turban Army who rushed into the city, under the command of their respective officers, quickly seized the breaks of the city walls on both sides, covering the follow-up troops to swarm into the city. The troops that entered the city were deployed according to the plan, and the attack was rapidly advancing in the east and west directions, expanding the occupied area so that more troops could enter the city to participate in the battle.
The shouts of killing became louder and louder, and the news of the destruction of the city spread from the north of the city, and the battle spread in all directions. The Jin army in other places woke up in their sleep, panicked and in chaos. When the first section of the Red Turban Army opened the east gate, Peng Yibin's troops poured in, and attacked in depth, the defeat of the Jin army was inevitable.
"Boom, boom!" The two pine cannons opened fire one after another on the board car, and the dazzling white light flashed the eyes of the Jin army in front of them, and the rain of shrapnel rushed towards them.
In the screams and wails, the will to fight of this golden army was completely destroyed, and under the fierce offensive of the soldiers of the Red Turban Army, the defeat turned into a rout, and the rout turned into a flight, throwing down the swords and guns, and running in all directions.
"Kill!" Chen Hong pulled the spear out of a golden soldier, kicked the corpse down, and followed his comrades to chase and kill.
Although the fighting in a few places is still fierce, there is no suspense. Most of the Jin army was defeated, and only a small part of them resisted stubbornly and struggled to the death.
The sky is getting brighter and brighter, and the enemy and us are still fighting fiercely in the city. The shouts and roars were mixed and echoed over the city.
Meng Jiucheng stood on the city tower and quietly watched the city. The morning sun is rising, and the red light is shrouded, as if it is a blood-stained city.
"Jin Junxian didn't expect our army to break through the city so quickly, and only focused on the defense of the city wall, but did not prepare for street battles." Xiao Ying, who was beside him, said quietly: "If this is not the case, I am afraid that the casualties of our army will increase greatly." ”
"Today's casualties are not small." Meng Jiucheng paused, but instead straightened his back, with a determined look on his face, "The real strong army is tempered in blood and fire, and after this battle, there will be a group of new recruits who will mature." ”
"Yes, it is better to raise soldiers than to train them, and training them is not as good as actual combat." Xiao Ying pursed the corners of his lips and said coldly: "A real strong soldier can be ten without losing his fighting spirit, and the more blood he gets, the more fearless he is." ”
Meng Jiucheng didn't speak for a long time, and finally said in a low voice: "It's a pity that it's called Jin Jun, but most of them are Han Chinese. Fifth Master, I didn't mean your-
"I know." Xiao Ying waved her hand indifferently and said, "Actually, you should change your thinking, don't keep thinking about what to do with the same nation." But I can't say it, it's up to you to figure it out. ”
Meng Jiucheng sighed and said helplessly: "But I haven't figured it out. ”
"Then keep thinking." Xiao Ying said unceremoniously: "Think about those rebels, what are they raising flags for?" Think about yourself, how can you rally so many people to follow? ”
Meng Jiucheng frowned and fell into a long thought.
