Chapter 150: Capture the South City

"Hurry, hurry! The whole army accelerates! ”

Seeing that the eastern city wall was in front of him, the shouts of killing were clearly audible, and the generals of various families urged the private soldiers under their command one after another. As the distance quickly approached, so did the fighting on the city. Lin Yunwen expected that the 200 people who had been reinforced in advance were suppressed by the elite of the thief army, and the situation was very unfavorable.

This made him breathe a sigh of relief.

However, as soon as the idea of "catching up with the battlefield in time" emerged, Lin Yunwen was shocked.

He suddenly realized that the greatest danger was the absence of danger.

The thieves filled the three-way moat at such a great cost and conspiracy to prepare the last wave of attack, how could they be so lightly blocked by their own two brigades?

Lin Yunwen, whose face changed suddenly, couldn't take care of the private army under his command, and whipped his horse a few times, and led a team of Lin family generals to the city, and climbed to the top of the city.

The two sides in the middle of a fierce battle appeared in front of him!

With Chen Wu's Taiping battalion in front and a large number of soldiers pieced together, the offensive of the rebels seemed to be huge. But in fact, the battle at the junction of the two sides was not fierce, although the rebels were taking the initiative to attack, but they were on the defensive when fighting with the family's private soldiers.

Don't seek to kill the enemy, only seek self-preservation.

It was only by relying on a dozen hard crossbows and that group of archers that he could barely suppress the side of the family.

More people, just waving flags and shouting in the back.

"Oops!"

After confirming the guess, Lin Yunwen's uneasiness in his heart reached the extreme. The western side of the city wall must have been a feint, and although the attack on the east wall was fierce at first, it was obviously lacking in stamina. Only a small part of the elite. So. Where will the thieves really attack?

South City Wall!

This is the only one possible!

A treacherous army of thieves. From the very beginning, the goal was to set the southern wall unchanged. Regardless of whether it is on either side of the east or west wall, the attacks received are all feints!

The inducement of this mindset has been used by Lin Yunwen himself. Give others two choices, and the other party's thinking will become an "either/or" judgment, and then it will be difficult to find that the choices given by others are all fake.

"Chen Wu!"

Clenched his fists hard, Lin Yunwen called out the name hatefully. But after all, he was the eldest son of the head of the Lin family, and he quickly calmed down and ordered: "The whole army stops and turns on the spot!" The front team becomes the back team. Head to the South Wall of the Wall! ”

Although this decision is difficult to make, in the face of Wu An's survival, personal face is nothing.

After leaving a brigade to strengthen the defense of Dongcheng, Lin Yunwen gave a strict order to the family alliance army that had just arrived. Many people were puzzled by this abrupt order, and there were many complaints in their hearts, but no one dared to question the prestige of the Lin family in Wu'an. The private soldiers of these families couldn't take a breath to rest, and then turned around and began to rush to the south city.

"What happened?"

Lin Yunwen's sudden change of formation made Yuan Xingwei puzzled.

At this time, shouldn't the main force of the rebel army be rushing to attack Dongcheng? Why did Lin Yunwen's main force only leave a hundred people. But the brigade turned around?

"Excuse me?"

Yuan Xingwei's reaction was not slow, and he quickly guessed the truth. And it was confirmed from Lin Yunwen's action of transferring troops to the south.

The Taiping Rebels' attack in the east turned out to be a feint!

The real assault is on the southern city wall!

In just a few seconds, Yuan Xingwei thought clearly about the new goal of the family's private army, and also thought clearly about Chen Wu's plan, and couldn't help but be ecstatic in his heart, and laughed loudly: "My lord is really wise and powerful, it is really the destiny of heaven!" ”

It was unimaginable for him to magically get so many siege equipment, and it was difficult for the Wu'an officers and soldiers to parry. Now, the plan planned by Chen Wu even concealed him and the elite of the Lin family, and let the two thousand coalition troops run back and forth in the city in vain.

You must know that Wu'an City, which can accommodate 300,000 people, is very large!

This time back and forth, even if it is a rapid march, is enough to decide the survival of the entire Wu'an.

"It seems that this battle does not need to be participated in by my son, and the Lord has already won the battle."

At this moment, Yuan Xingwei's confidence in Chen Wu reached the extreme.

He believed that since Chen Wu was able to make such a subtle strategic deception and successfully mobilize the family alliance army, the southern city wall must also have prepared enough offensive forces. Things have come to this point, even if there is no variable of their own, the rebels are eighty percent sure that they can win.

Eighty percent!

When it was twenty percent, Yuan Xingwei, who was confident that he would die, dared to bet, and Wucheng dared to let go of the bet. Eighty percent sure that it is already too high, so high that it far exceeds Yuan Xingwei's expectations.

But people are always greedy, aren't they?

"Then, this son will add the last two percent, so that the lord is ten percent sure of entering Wu'an!"

Yuan Xingwei, who was in a good mood, shook the gilded folding fan in his hand while making the corresponding transfers and arrangements, and said to himself: "With Wu'an, the Lord has a place to start." As long as you take this as the foundation for a good life, and then defeat the next counterinsurgency army of the empire, you can take advantage of the momentum of a great victory to recruit peace and surrender. When the affairs of the governor of Taiping County are in hand, he only needs to be patient and dormant for ten years, and once the foreign affairs change abruptly, he can take advantage of the situation. When the time comes, first go to Daze, and then hit Guang'an, and the three counties will be connected...... Hey. ”

When it came to that situation, there was only one word he could think of: the flying dragon is in the sky!

With the ability shown by Chen Wu and the prosperity of the Taiping Army, compared to the old age of Qianyuanji and the declining rivers of the empire, as long as there are three counties in hand, it is the dragon that takes off, and it is difficult to stop it!

Wait until the new dynasty is established and the world is unified, with the merits of this son, it is not too much to get a Minister of the Interior, right?

………

"Run away, Wu'an is about to be broken by thieves."

"Yo, this military master, haven't you heard? The Governor is about to flee, and the North City side will open in a while, and it will be too late if you don't leave. ”

In the midst of the rumors, there was a great chaos in Wu'an City, as if the end was coming.

The private army of the Wu'an family, who was hurrying towards the southern city wall, couldn't help but be dumbfounded when they saw a large number of civilians packing up their bags and looking panicked along the way.

This situation is obviously wrong.

Although the thief army outside has been attacking the city, except for the first two days, the people in the city have become accustomed to it a lot these days, and they will not make a lot of noise. At the very least, when they rushed to the East City earlier, there was not so much movement in the city. Why did it come back and forth, and it was like this in a short period of time?

Although the private soldiers belong to the family, they are also Wu'an people after all, and this situation makes them not calm.

Lin Yunwen was helpless and sent several generals of the Lin family to inquire about the situation. Soon, they asked all sorts of astonishing rumors from some panicked passers-by.

"If there is an army of thieves, there should be chaos in the city!"

Lin Yunwen quickly made this judgment.

It is impossible to achieve this level in such a short period of time just by the spontaneous spread of rumors by the people, and there must be someone behind the scenes, or even take the initiative to spread them.

This kind of rootless message, Lin Yunwen really wanted to ignore it, after all, the southern city wall was probably on the verge of endangerment. But in the face of these frightening rumors, he can't completely ignore them.

For example: the thieves are rumored to be going to assassinate the governor and set fire to the granary!

On weekdays, the Governor's Mansion is heavily guarded, and there are at least two hundred guards alone, not to mention other generals, Lin Yunwen is not worried about Qian Boming's safety at all. But in the past two days, the guard forces of the Governor's Palace have been transferred one after another, and they have been extremely empty. If the thieves can have dozens of people, maybe they can really attack it.

He worked hard to defend Wu'an, but Qian Boming was killed by thieves in the governor's mansion......

That terrible result, and the political pressure and condemnation that followed, was terrifying to think about.

As for the latter, although Lin Yunwen didn't think that the thieves would burn the granary lightly, after all, there were so many rebels outside who were also in urgent need of food. But if the siege is frustrated, and the thieves are desperate and crazy, they can't be guaranteed, and they will really do everything together.

"Damn it!"

After scolding secretly, Lin Yunwen had to divide his troops again.

Another brigade was split and rushed to the treasury and the governor's palace in Wu'an.

By this time, Lin Yunwen's strength was only 1,400 people left. What's even worse is that the family's private army is still at least three miles away from the southern city wall!

On weekdays, this little bit of road is nothing to a well-trained soldier. But in Lin Yunwen's eyes at this moment, these three miles seem to be as far as thirty miles, and everyone is trying their best to catch up, but they can't catch up for a while.

Finally, we reached a distance of only one mile.

The soldiers who walked at the front could already clearly see the fierce battle on the top of the city.

However, they are too late after all!

The elite of the Taiping Battalion of the entire nine brigades, equipped with more than eighty hard crossbows, were killed when the officers and soldiers of the southern city wall were exhausted, and the destructive power caused was simply devastating. In particular, the officers and soldiers were not psychologically prepared at all, and they were completely defeated in a short period of time by a sudden blow.

Under the onslaught of one Taiping battalion after another, the soldiers of the Second Garrison Brigade under Kang He were rapidly defeated.

As for the militia conscripted by Wu'an, let alone in this case.

When he was in Lushan, in the face of the rebel army that had not yet taken shape, the militia group could play a big role in defending the city. Now, in the face of the elite of the Taiping Battalion, whose combat strength is close to that of the local official army, and the situation is one-sided, those militia groups are only delaying for some time in vain, unable to really stop the rebels.

In an instant, the entire southern city wall had a section of nearly 300 meters, which was firmly held by the rebels.

"Everyone, Wu'an survives, fight again!"

After praying in his heart, hoping that Lin Yunwen could come as soon as possible, Kang He gritted his teeth, ignored the trauma on his body, and launched a suicidal charge with the last dozen henchmen.

However, it didn't work!

Relying on the momentum of a mourning soldier, Kanghe's henchmen and soldiers did burst out with amazing courage, and forcibly blocked the Taiping Battalion Brigade for a moment. But manpower is sometimes exhausted after all, not to mention that there are so many hard crossbows on the side of the rebels. (To be continued.) )
