Chapter 88: Capture Kinoshita Castle in 3 days

The news that the Middle Earth Kingdom wanted to ask for peace quickly reached Lin Xiao through spies, so before, he would definitely accept it when he saw it. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Now, he wouldn't be sent away so easily.

The troops of the Tianhan Kingdom stationed in the Huangsha region are not many, and it is still somewhat difficult to occupy the Middle-earth Kingdom at present, and the truce will definitely be a truce.

But how and when to stop the war is up to him.

Kinoshita City is only an important city in the Middle Earth Kingdom, as long as it is occupied, it can threaten the entire Middle Earth Kingdom, and Lin Xiao naturally will not give up.

Compared to the nobles of the Middle Kingdom, they also knew this truth, so it was very difficult for them to cede Kinoshita Castle.

Since this is the case, Lin Xiao is going to occupy Kinoshita City before the envoys of the Middle Earth Kingdom arrive.

After all, the Tianhan Kingdom also wants to be faced, and it will not tear up the treaty casually, and it is not good to put the other party's envoy aside.

Lin Xiao's order went down, and after General Huang, the supreme commander of the Huangsha Regional Legion, received the order, he launched an attack on Kinoshita City without stopping.

Kinoshita Castle has more than 50,000 troops, and there are countless militiamen, so it is still a little difficult to take it down in a short time.

In order to delay the arrival of the messenger as much as possible, Huang will directly send killers to ambush the messenger's team halfway.

The first assassination went well, and the messenger and his guards were all killed, and no news came out.

This delayed the assault on Kinoshita Castle for a week, and the second time it didn't go so smoothly, and the new emissary otolith team was on guard.

It was difficult to start, they hid their whereabouts and came directly to the border of the Tianhan Kingdom, and it was not good to assassinate such a clumsy one in the local area.

Governor Huang Cheng was ordered to send a greeting team, but things were not so simple, there were many checkpoints on the road, and these soldiers guarding the gates would always jump out to find trouble.

This dragged on for several days, and when the envoy came to Huangsha City, it was already half a month later.

Huang Cheng directly talked to the envoy Ottoshi, and he agreed to the truce, saying: "Although I am very much in favor of the truce, the military power is under the control of Lieutenant General Huang, you have to go to him." ”

“……”

You invited me here without saying a word, and now you tell me it's not your business!

The envoy was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood, but he didn't show it, and these people in front of him were not something he could offend.

In desperation, the envoy could only get back on the road and go dozens of kilometers to find Huang Jiang.

"By the way, we have just built the railway here, and if you take this to the past, it will only take more than ten hours to get there." Huang Cheng reminded 'sincerely'.

The emissary nodded, the railroad was a novelty for the Kingdom of Middle Earth, and he wanted to try it, and it wouldn't take long. ”

"Thank you Governor Huang for that."

Bidding farewell to Huang Cheng, the envoy Otolith came to the front of the railway station under the escort of the guards, and stepped into the train with a curious face.

Looking from the inside and outside windows, the speed of the train was indeed very fast, which made the messenger very amazed and deeply frightened.

These trains don't seem to be dangerous, and when you think about it, having such a fast speed of transporting goods and troops is a nightmare for the soldiers of Middleland who are still on their legs.

The defeat of the Kingdom of Middle-earth is inseparable from this train.

Coming to the barracks stationed in the wilderness, the envoy saw General Huang, he heard the message brought by the envoy, and also agreed to the truce, saying: "Although I am very much in favor of the truce, I have received an order from Your Majesty - to capture the entire kingdom of Middle-earth, if the truce is to be held, I still need to ask His Highness." ”

Why does this sound so familiar......

Without waiting for the envoy to speak, Huang will continue: "Don't worry, there will definitely be a reply after the 3rd, please be sure to stay in the camp for the time being." ”

Under the threat of General Huang, Otolith didn't dare to joke with his own life, so he could only stay in the barracks first, anyway, it was only for 3 days, as a general, he couldn't lie to people.

"Report!" At this time, a voice came from outside the barracks, and a soldier hurriedly ran over, looked at the people next to him, and did not dare to continue.

"This is the emissary otolith of the Middle Earth Kingdom, don't worry, go on." Huang Jiang said.

After receiving permission, the soldier reported: "News has come from the front that the defenders of Kinoshita Castle are too tenacious to be captured in a short time. ”

General Huang was silent for a while, and then asked his adjutant, "How many blasting shells do we have left?" ”

The adjutant glanced at the messenger and replied, "General, it was used up yesterday, but I just got the news that another train has been delivered." ”

Nodding, General Huang said: "Tell the troops on the front line that there is no limit to ammunition, give me to take Kinoshita City within 3 days!" ”

"Poof!" The ear stone in the tea suddenly spit out the tea, looked at the people in the tent looking at him, and quickly explained: "It's okay, it's okay......"

Time passed little by little, and the otolith was placed under house arrest in the barracks, and nothing could be done.

Kinoshita Castle was bombarded frantically, and several city walls were directly blown down, and even the city gates were nowhere to be found.

The soldiers of the Tianhan Kingdom had many opportunities to rush into the city, but they gave up and only bombed and could not enter.

After two days and two nights of bombing, the defenders of Kinoshita Castle were already very tired, and now their scalps were numb when they heard the explosion.

On the third day, the soldiers of the Tianhan Kingdom finally launched an attack, and the numb soldiers of Zhongdi rushed to the front before they could react.

The city wall, which was not very strong, was directly occupied, and the Tianhan soldiers immediately pushed the rifled cannon in, expanding their advantage step by step.

Under the premise that the Tianhan soldiers bombarded with artillery fire at every turn, the soldiers in Zhongdi were already frightened and were forced to retreat step by step.

Breech-loading rifled guns had an advantage over flintlock pistols in street fighting, not to mention that most of the soldiers in the Middle Earth were armed with arquebuses.

In the case of low morale and backward equipment, the defense line formed by the soldiers of Zhongdi was directly broken through, and the soldiers of Zhongdi who rushed over went straight to the city lord's mansion.

There is only a small general left here, and those nobles have long known that Kinoshita Castle cannot be defended, and they have been evacuated a few days ago.

The little generals who stayed behind seemed to know that they were certain to die, and commanded the soldiers to resist stubbornly, using the last few artillery pieces to guard an alley, causing a lot of losses to the Tianhan soldiers.

The gunners weren't having a good time, and several soldiers with good marksmanship hid directly behind the wall and sniped at them.

The gunner will be killed at most once with a single shot, and then let the gunner behind him take over.

The old gunners were quickly killed and wounded, and only a few new recruits remained, and their movements were not skillful, and a few shots could interrupt them.

In this way, it was basically impossible for them to inflict huge losses on the Tianhan soldiers, and several Tianhan soldiers touched it, directly killed the gunner, and seized the artillery.

Without the suppression of artillery, the Tianhan soldiers behind rushed up, wiped out this force, and captured the little general alive.

The City Lord's Mansion was also occupied and replaced with the banner of the Heavenly Han Kingdom.

This was a very big blow to the soldiers in the middle of the ground who were still on the defensive, and they were still scattered, so they were quickly annihilated one by one.
