Chapter 279: Capture Liaoyang

Zhang Zuolin led his troops to the vicinity of Liaoyang City, and there were only more than 200 people in the militia group directly under him under his command, and the rest were recruited by Du Lisan. The militia group horse bandits who participated in the mission had more than 1,000 guns, which were much stronger than Zhang Zuolin, and they were very unconvinced by Zhang Zuolin.

When there was still some distance from Liaoyang City, Zhang Zuolin gathered everyone together and said loudly: "There are many masters here who are my predecessors, and I can become the commander this time, just because I am more familiar with Lord Chen Baxian." Whether you are convinced or not, I hope that everyone will unite a little, if this battle can be won by Lord Chen, everyone will benefit a lot. ”

The many bandits and militia leaders burst out laughing, but their hearts were suddenly much more relaxed. Zhang Zuolin himself said that he could become a commander not because of his ability or qualifications, but because he was familiar with the Yingkou Zhili Department. After he belittled himself and caused laughter, the other leaders became less repulsive to him, and began to come up with ideas to attack Liaoyang City.

Zhang Zuolin listened carefully to everyone's opinions, and after a long time, he smiled and said: "Everyone's idea is very good, but this attack on Liaoyang City is not just our way, Commander Feng Delin led 10,000 people to attack the east gate." As for how to attack Lord Chen, I have already made arrangements, and I will tell you later, and I will invite everyone to drink if you take Liaoyang City. ”

Of course, Chen Hao will not be mentally retarded enough to arrange tactics for Zhang Zuolin in advance, Zhang Zuolin is really pulling the tiger skin as a big banner, and using his banner to let others obey the command. Although these people were not very convinced that Zhang Zuolin became the commander, when they heard that it was arranged by Lord Tongzhi, no one dared to question it anymore.

Zhang Zuolin arched his hand at a bearded man and said, "Brother Zhu, your people are the most elite, and they are the most familiar with Liaoyang. Taking advantage of Liaoyang City's unpreparedness, let's bring 500 people into the city first, how about we take the city together? When this battle is won, I will definitely show your first merit to Lord Tongzhi. ”

Brother Zhu's name is Zhu Yuanshan, and he has seven or eight hundred people under him, and he is a well-known bandit in Liaoyang Prefecture. Zhang Zuolin called Zhu Yuanshan's men the most elite in front of many masters, which made Zhu Yuanshan feel very comfortable, and he said with a big grin: "Zhang Yuting, you are looking for the right person, there is not an inch of Liaoyang City that I am not familiar with, take the city gate and hand it over to me." ”

Zengqi and Xuanyuan Jian led people to fight at Shahe Fort, and the army left behind in Liaoyang Prefecture was mainly to ensure logistics supply, and they didn't expect to be attacked at all. When Zhu Yuanshan mixed into the city with 500 people, the guard general was drinking flower wine in Wanhualou with a group of patrol battalion officers, and the soldiers on the city wall also looked listless.

Feng Delin in the east also arrived in Liaoyang Prefecture, and seeing that Liaoyang City's defenses were lax, he sent people to infiltrate like Zhang Zuolin. Feng Delin has more than 1,000 guns under his command and is the most powerful force in Liaoyang, so he has no problem with being in charge of commanding other NPCs. After Zhang Zuolin and Feng Delin sent people to contact, they learned that the other party had sent people into the city and made an appointment to attack at the same time.

After the two groups of men and horses were ready, a large group of soldiers and horses suddenly appeared near the city wall, and the soldiers on the city wall found that the large group of soldiers and horses fired a shot in a panic. The fine work that had long been ambushed at the east and west city gates, and the two sides attacked almost at the same time, Zhu Yuanshan led people to rush to the city wall and wiped out more than a hundred soldiers and opened the city gate.

The eastern side that Feng Delin was in charge of was also unusually smooth, and the large army easily entered Liaoyang City, and he rushed to the military camp with his soldiers and horses. When Zhang Zuolin captured the West Gate, he learned that the guards and a cadre of officers were drinking in Wanhualou, and then took more than 200 of his men to Wanhualou and wiped out all the officers in Liaoyang City.

The city of Liaoyang was in chaos, and the soldiers in charge of defending the city were scurrying around like headless flies, and they were soon disarmed by Zhang Zuolin and Feng Delin's troops. The players who stayed in Liaoyang City to participate in the defense of the city heard that the city was broken, and at first they wanted to fight in the streets and resisted stubbornly, but they chose to leave after finding that there were 10,000 or 20,000 people entering the city.

None of the players are fools, Xuanyuan Jian and Zengqi are leading a large army to fight fiercely at Shahe Fort and Yingkou, but Liaoyang City is broken by 20,000 troops. What does this mean The player knows very well, Zeng Qi and Xuanyuan Jian can only occupy Yingkou quickly, and now they have been copied by others, let alone take Yingkou quickly, and the tens of thousands of troops brought out are estimated to be buried.

Zhang Zuolin and Feng Delin quickly took control of Liaoyang City, and both of them got a lot of benefits, but there were some differences in their handling methods. Zhang Zuolin distributed the seized firearms to all the militia horse bandits involved in the mission, and Feng Delin took most of them alone, which made many people dissatisfied with him.

After the two met, Zhang Zuolin said with a smile: "Brother Feng, the two of us must leave one person to defend Liaoyang City, and the other person to bring someone to support Lord Chen, do you go or I go?" ””

Feng Delin was determined to seize the opportunity to reap more benefits in Liaoyang City, and he said absentmindedly: "Brother, you have a hard trip!" I stayed to defend the city, and you can take everyone except a thousand of my men. ”

Zhang Zuolin shook his head and said: "Zengqi just suffered a careless loss, thinking that no one sneaked up on Liaoyang to make us so smooth, Lord Chen ordered to leave 3,000 people to defend the city after occupying Liaoyang, big brother, you recommend some other people to accompany you to guard the city!" ”

Feng Delin pondered for a moment and nodded: "Then let Li Longshan and Xiao Hai stay!" ”

Li Longshan and Xiao Hai became friends with Feng Delin, originally Feng Delin only wanted to reap the benefits by himself, but after hearing that there must be 3,000 people, he recommended two friends to get some light. Zhang Zuolin, who knew what he was planning, did not break it, and left Liaoyang City with 17,000 people, and marched along the railway in the direction of Shahebao.

The militia and bandits who could not stay in Liaoyang City were listless and reluctant, Zhang Zuolin once again gathered a group of leaders together, and said sincerely: "I know what you think, but everyone thinks about it, our attack on Liaoyang this time is entrusted by Lord Chen of Yingkou, how can he allow someone to do anything wrong in the city?" After the battle, he absolutely did not allow some people to take advantage, but took out the captured things and distributed them to the meritorious ones, so it was better to earn some merit than to stay in the city. ”

The NPC leaders present all believed that Zhang Zuolin was the most familiar with Lord Chen in Yingkou, and his words were quickly agreed, and the team cheered up. After approaching Shahebao, Zhang Zuolin first sent his subordinates to make a detour to report and stationed less than five kilometers away from Zengqi's troops. ”

On the position of Shahe Fort, Xuanyuan Sword commanded the players to attack, and the players who were not afraid of death were surging to the forward position like a tide. After the first wave of 1,000 players was wiped out, Xuanyuan Sword immediately sent out a second wave, and in less than an hour, the players had already hung up nearly 5,000 people.

Zhang Zuolin came at the right time, and the first batch of dead players had not yet come back to life, so the occupation of Liaoyang had not yet been leaked. With Zhang Zuolin's news, Chen Hao was overjoyed, and he came to the front line and said loudly: "Brothers! The two armies that I ambushed near Liaoyang City have captured Liaoyang City, and at present, Zhang Zuolin with 17,000 troops is behind the Zengqi army, and the time has come for us to counterattack. ”

There was a huge cheer from the top of the mountain, and the players had confidence because of Chen Hao's many hole cards, but after Xuanyuan Sword ordered the players to attack at any cost, they were not so confident again. At this time, when they heard that the enemy's rear road had been cut off, they were shocked and knew that victory was not far away, and they were all excited.

After Chen Hao ordered a counteroffensive, the players took the initiative to ask for help, and they were sure that Yingkou had won, and even if they hung up, they would not lose money. Most of Chen Hao's subordinates are NPC soldiers, and if one dies, there will be one less, and he is not willing to let NPCs rush to the front line, so he ordered players to launch a counterattack first.

The artillery position, which had been silent for a long time, opened fire again, and a round of fierce artillery fire terrified the 1,000 players who were charging, and the 6,000 players were the first to jump out of the trenches and launch a counterattack. The 1,000 attacking players were ravaged by artillery fire and heavy machine guns, and there were not many people left, and when they saw the countless players on the opposite side charging back, they simply turned around and ran.

When the 6,000 players saw the enemy fleeing, they screamed with excitement and followed behind with rifles. Xuanyuan Jian had been observing the situation with a telescope, and the scene in front of him made him stunned, Chen Baxian's troops should not be much, why did he dare to launch a counterattack?

Xuanyuan Sword's first thought was that Chen Ba first wanted to use the player to delay time, but after the nine thousand NPC army charged behind the player, he dispelled this idea. The battle had reached a critical moment, and he didn't have so much time to think, so he immediately ordered to build fortifications on the spot to resist after consulting with Zengqi.

Zeng Qi and Xuanyuan Jian, as the attacking side, didn't think about defending at all, so they didn't have any fortifications. The 6,000 players who received the task at Yingkou were afraid that they would run slowly and have no credit, so they ran fast when they charged, and after a while, they approached the combined forces of Zengqi and Xuanyuan Sword.

When Zengqi shouted loudly for defense, a dense burst of gunfire suddenly sounded behind the army, and Zhang Zuolin began to flank the attack. Soon a herald came to report that there were more than 10,000 enemies behind the army, and this news made Zengqi and Xuanyuan Jian dumbfounded at the same time.

It was a disaster to be copied by the enemy to the rear during the attack, and now it is too late to retreat, and you can only fight the enemy to the end. Xuanyuan Jian closed his eyes in pain, he knew that this battle was irreparable, and if he lost all of Zengqi's old bottom here, it would be difficult for him to keep Benxi.

Zengqi was also dead-faced, and he muttered: "It's all you!" It's all because of you, otherwise how could I betray the court? ”

Xuanyuan Jian glanced at Zeng Qi coldly, and there was murderous intent in his eyes, but he held back. Glancing at the panicked Zengqi, Xuanyuan Jian said lightly: "General, the enemy is attacking from the rear, but I am afraid that Liaoyang has fallen." After Liaoyang was captured, Shengjing couldn't hold it, so you should go to Benxi with me! ”
