readx;? Chapter 1330 Hold on

The gendarmerie did not allocate troops to take care of the surrendered Ningnan army, the enemy army in the city had already counterattacked, and the gendarmerie wanted to keep the fruits of victory and take care of itself, where was there still extra manpower to manage the surrendered army?

When Kazuko entered the city, he saw Xin Chen and other generals of the Thirteenth Army who led the army to surrender. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In front of the generals of Xin Chen, the two made it very clear that the Feng army would not treat the surrendered soldiers of the Ningnan Army as prisoners, nor would they confiscate their weapons and restrict their freedom.

Among the descending troops, if there are brothers who are willing to stay and assist the wind army, the wind army will naturally welcome them with both hands, if there are brothers who are unwilling to stay and want to go home, then let them go, the wind army will never stop them, let alone kill indiscriminately.

The confession of the two of them made the soldiers of the 13th Army who surrendered a lot more relieved.

The actual situation is the same as what Cai Dang and Ziyin said, the Feng army that entered the city did not confiscate a single weapon from the soldiers of the 13th Army Corps who surrendered, nor did they kill a single person indiscriminately.

To be more precise, after the Feng army entered the city, there was no time to pay attention to them, more than 20,000 soldiers, under the command of Caidang and Ziyin, were immediately divided into two, stationed on the inner and outer city walls respectively,

The soldiers who ascended the inner wall were divided into three parts, one part was stationed in the middle of the inner wall, one part was stationed on the east side of the inner wall, and the other part was stationed on the west side of the inner wall.

The soldiers of the outer city wall were also subdivided into two parts, one part was stationed on the east side of the outer city wall, and the other part was stationed on the west side of the outer city wall.

The wind army, which is already small in strength, is now divided into many parts, each part has its own post, and has its own place to be strictly defended.

The soldiers of the Thirteenth Army Corps who surrendered here in Beicheng totaled more than 30,000 people, so many surrendered troops, and they were left unattended, but in the end there were very few who chose to leave.

The main reason is that Xin Chen and other generals refused to leave, seeing that they all stayed, the soldiers below were also unwilling to leave alone.

Of course, there is a reason why Xin Chen and the others are unwilling to leave, because they can't go at all.

Defecting to the enemy, treason and surrendering to the enemy, this is a capital crime that is non-negotiable, and when they return to the city, it is a dead end, and there is no place to leave Tianjing, so they can only stay and wait, waiting to see the final result of this battle.

If the Wind Army wins the battle and captures Tianjing in one fell swoop, then they can still have a way to live, in case the Wind Army loses and is expelled from Tianjing City, then they will only be left with a dead end.

It can be said that the surrendered Thirteenth Army and the Wind Army are already standing on the same ship, and the two sides have formed a relationship of one glory and common prosperity, and one loss.

When the Ningnan Army launched a fierce counterattack on the defense of Beicheng, the soldiers of the 13th Army who defected did not struggle and think too much, and they all stood firmly on the side of the Feng Army.

Even though most of the soldiers of the Thirteenth Legion did not directly participate in the battle, they did a lot of help to the Wind Army.

It is easy to say that artillery, ammunition, as well as materials such as rolling wood, stones, and fire oil are all transferred from the outer city wall to the inner city wall to resist the counterattack of the Ningnan army in the city, but it is not easy to do, and it takes a lot of manpower and time to complete this work.

And the whole process of transporting materials, the wind army did not spend much time, not even a single soldier, and spent a penny of effort, all relying on the soldiers of the thirteenth army to complete, which saved a lot of manpower for the wind army, and also allowed the wind army to concentrate and go all out to resist the counterattack of the enemy army in the city.

In the fierce battle, there were also some Ningnan troops from the passage between the inner and outer city walls, the Feng army was not stationed between the inner and outer city walls, and the soldiers of the 13th Army were basically all who resisted the counterattack of the Ningnan army here.

Fortunately, the Ningnan Army that had just begun to attack did not have many troops, and it didn't take much effort for the Thirteenth Army to resist.

But as the battle continued, the Ningnan army from between the inner and outer city walls attacked more and more troops, and the offensive became more and more ferocious.

The timely arrival of the 11th Army Corps was like a shot in the arm for both the gendarmerie and the 13th Army Corps, which had defected. The defense line of the wind army in the northern city defense here has also been greatly strengthened and strengthened.

The defenders of the east city and the defenders of the west city are not elite soldiers, and their combat power is not strong, their counterattack, the wind army is relatively easy to resist, and the side with the greatest pressure is the soldiers who resist the counterattack of the enemy army in the inner city.

They were directly confronted by the Imperial City Janissaries and the Capital Patrol Battalion. The 50,000 Praetorian Guards and the 20,000 patrol battalions are all the elite of the elite, all of them are elite soldiers and strong generals, brave and good at fighting.

When the Praetorian Guards and the Patrol Battalion attacked, they were no less ferocious than the Zhenjun Army.

With a new letter cannon in the air, a new offensive of the Praetorian Guard and the patrol battalion came. Soldiers poured out of the streets and alleys of the city, like a tidal wave, and rushed to the inner city wall where the Wind Army was stationed.

At the head of the city, firecrackers and muskets rang out in unison, and the sound of bang

From time to time, some of the soldiers in the charge were shot and rolled to the ground, and the soldiers behind them continued to charge forward with arrows past the corpses of their comrades.

Seeing that the enemy army was getting closer and closer, he should have yelled to the left and right: "Stone Thunder waits-"

With his order, one by one the ignited stone mines were thrown down from the city, fell into the crowd of the Ningnan army, and exploded, and in an instant, countless Ningnan soldiers were killed and injured.

Some of the wind army kept throwing stone mines outward, and some continued to fire.

Although the offensive of the Ningnan army was fierce, the firepower of the Feng army was even more fierce, and the collision between the two sides of the tip of the two sides against Maimang finally ended with the retreat of the Ningnan army.

When he raised his eyes and looked at the sky, the sky was already white, and after this half-night of fierce fighting, he could not remember how many times he had repelled the enemy's onslaught.

Now that the sky is gradually brightening, and looking down at the city, there is almost a layer of Ningnanjun's corpse on the ground, and the original color of the ground can no longer be seen, except for the corpse or the corpse, as well as the dark red dry blood.

He wiped the beads of sweat from his head, walked over to Guan Xi, and asked, "General Guan, how are the casualties of the Eleventh Army?"

Guan Xi sighed and said, "Nearly 10,000 brothers have been killed or wounded!"

He nodded his head, if he didn't have the defense of Tianjing City, if he was doing face-to-face hand-to-hand combat with the Ningnan army in the city, his own soldiers would probably have lost most of them.

He turned his gaze to Xin Chen, who was also standing on the inner city wall, and asked, "By the way, what is the name of this brother?"

When he first entered the city, Xin Chen had reported his name and surname to him, but at that time, the mind was not on the army, he listened but did not go to his heart, after this half-night side by side, he should be aware that although the army did not participate in the war on a large scale, it was indeed a great favor to his side, and it could be said that he had made great contributions in ensuring the supply of ammunition for his side.

Hearing the question, Xin Chen's heart couldn't tell what it was like, that is, he was angry, and secretly relieved. The other party didn't even remember his own name, obviously he didn't put himself in his eyes, and it was precisely because the other party didn't put himself in his eyes that it just showed that the Feng Army did not hide a killing intention against him.

"In Xia Xinchen, he is the general of the Thirteenth Legion!"

Should he look at Xin Chen suspiciously, he noticed that the surrender of the army is basically based on Xin Chen's horse, he said one, the rest of the soldiers will never say two, if it is just a small partial general, how can it have such a high prestige?

After thinking about it, he sighed lightly and said, "Xin Chen, are you ...... The Xin family?"

"Zai Xia is just a side branch of the Xin family. ”

No wonder! Regardless of whether he came from his own family or from a side branch, after all, he is a member of the Xin family, so it is no wonder that the army is looking at him as the head of the horse, and he obeys his orders, after all, the prestige of the Xin family is there.

Cai Dang smiled and asked, "I wonder why General Xin is defecting to the battle?"

"The Dog Emperor is not enough for me to sacrifice my life to protect it!"

Although I don't understand why Xin Chen has such a big resentment against the eldest grandson Bohao, and even bluntly scolds him for being the dog emperor, he should listen to this.

Hearing this, he looked up and smiled, patted Xin Chen's shoulder, and said: "Abandon the darkness and turn to the light, the good birds choose trees to perch, and General Xin's good deeds will definitely go down in history! In the future, when the two countries complete the great reunification, General Xin's exploits will naturally not be erased!"

I don't know Xin Chen, but Xin Chen knows what I should do, the gendarmerie of the Wind Country is famous, and as the general leader of the gendarmerie, he should be a person with great power, he can appreciate himself, for him, it is very important, if he still wants to join the army in the future, with the head of the gendarmerie as a backer, he will naturally be on the rise.

Xin Chen was only slightly stunned, and immediately bowed his hand and said: "The last general, Xin Chen, I am willing to take the general's horse as the head, saddle the horse before and after the horse, and never give up!"

Yo! This is a clever ghost! It's time to be happy, waving his hand, just about to speak, at this moment, Xin Chen suddenly took an arrow step, jumped to the front of the time, and pushed him to the ground, while shouting: "General be careful-"

Before the surrounding people could react to what was going on, they heard a cannon boom in the city, and a flying cannonball was hitting the arrow stack not far away.

Several Feng soldiers standing nearby, unable to dodge, were blown up, and fell to the ground one after another, their bodies burned to black, all covered in blood.

Although the location of the explosion was still some distance away from where it should be, at the critical moment, Xin Chen's actions of defending him at the risk of protecting him made him remember it in his heart.

He patted Xin Chen, who was pressing on him, and then got up from the ground, raised his eyes to look out, and saw that the Ningnan army in the city had pushed out the artillery of one by one.

Some of the artillery was placed in the streets, while others were hidden in the courtyards of houses near the city walls. After seeing it, he clenched his fists and shouted sideways: "Prepare for battle!" See the enemy's artillery position clearly and return fire!"

The battle after dawn was more intense than at night. The Ningnan army that counterattacked and the Feng army that held the city wall both invested a large amount of artillery, and the two sides launched an artillery bombardment with one in the city and the other at the head of the city.

Above and below the city, there were explosions everywhere, and the houses near the city walls were almost all in ruins.

The fierce battle between the two sides was fought from early morning to noon, and both the Feng army and the Ningnan army had suffered heavy casualties at this moment, with 50,000 Praetorian Guards suffering more than 20,000 casualties, and less than 10,000 of the 20,000 patrol battalions left.

The cannonballs carried by the Janissaries and the patrol battalion were running out, but the artillery on the city was still ringing.

This is also thanks to Tianjing's perfect city defense and abundant material stockpiling.

The artillery used by the Feng Army now is all Ningnan artillery, and the shells used are also the shells hoarded in the Beicheng city defense, these weapons and ammunition are almost not used on the head of the Feng Army, but now they are all used on the heads of the Ningnan people themselves.

The Janissaries and patrol battalions, who had fought hard, were no longer able to organize a large-scale counterattack against the Wind Army, so they could only ask the imperial court for help, and ask the imperial court to send troops to help immediately.

The leader of the Praetorian Guard and the leader of the patrol battalion, in a letter to the imperial court, swore that the Feng army that captured the defense of Beicheng City had become a strong crossbow, and as long as they gave them another 50,000 soldiers and horses, they would be able to recapture the lost Beicheng city defense in one fell swoop.

It's just that the Ningnan Imperial Court is now where to find 50,000 troops to send to the Praetorian Guard and the patrol battalion, and in the end there is no choice but to send a message to the capital guard battalion, asking the guard battalion to organize 50,000 troops and go to the north city for reinforcements.

After receiving His Majesty's will, Liang Ying, who was supervising the battle in Nancheng, immediately found Chen Yansu, the commander of the First Army, and proposed to him to borrow 30,000 soldiers and horses to aid Beicheng.
