Chapter 629: Good News Spreads
Cao Zhuang Station.
After Zu Dashou led people to flee north, it didn't take long for Shen Tuo to order to stop the shelling, and then the officers and men of the Fifth Army of the National Defense Army began to advance towards Cao Zhuangyi, and they were killed directly with a charge.
At this time, the soldiers and horses of the two blue flags of the Han army stationed in Caozhuang Station had no intention of fighting, and when they saw a large number of Ming soldiers killed, they immediately surrendered, but without receiving Shen Tuo's order, the officers and men of the Fifth Army of the National Defense Army had no intention of taking prisoners at all, even if those soldiers of the two blue flags of the Han army had already knelt on the ground, they were still shot by a burst of birds.
This situation made the Qing soldiers inside and outside Caozhuang Station shocked, seeing that there was no way to survive if they surrendered, and those traitor soldiers also fell into madness, seeing that there was no way to survive, they rushed to the surrounding Ming soldiers with strange screams.
"Get on the bayonet!"
"Tiger! Tiger! Tiger! ”
"Forward!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”
The officers and men of the Fifth Army of the surrounding Wehrmacht formed a formation and surrounded it, and countless bayonets were shining brightly, forming a jungle of bayonets one after another. The soldiers opened the way with earth-shaking thunder, and fired a volley at the dense Han army banner soldiers and horses, and then charged with bayonets. If you encounter sporadic Han soldiers, you will directly crush them with a bayonet array.
In this way, the battle inside and outside Caozhuang Station lasted less than an hour, and the battlefield gradually subsided.
Shen Tuo led the generals into the Caozhuang Station, only to see corpses everywhere, in places where the battle was fierce, the corpses had even covered the ground, stepping on it, as if stepping on a thick carpet of flesh and blood.
Of course, so many corpses are basically the two tartars of the two blue flags of the Han army, and although the officers and men of the Fifth Army of the Wehrmacht also suffered some casualties, the number was not large.
"Order the baggage soldiers of all departments to clean up the battlefield immediately, the medical officers of all departments to treat the wounded soldiers as soon as possible, and the main officers and men of all departments to immediately assemble and rest in the north of Caozhuang Station, and be ready to chase the main force north at any time."
"Yes!"
"Have you found Zu Dashou?"
For Shen Tuo, taking Cao Zhuangyi and annihilating the remnants of the two blue banners of the Han army are all expected things, although they are also military achievements, but they are not great achievements, only killing or capturing alive Zu Dashou, a very weighty traitor, can be regarded as a great merit.
Guo Rong, the deputy commander-in-chief, immediately sent people to various departments to inquire, and soon got a reward: "Qiqi General Town, the military department directly under the general department did not collect the general thousand to report to the east at night, and his troops intercepted more than 100 people of Zu Dashou's department a few miles north of Caozhuangyi, surrounded and annihilated all of them, and Zu Dashou was beheaded!" ”
"Good!"
Shen Tuo and Deputy Commander-in-Chief Guo Rong laughed out loud, the Fifth Army of the National Defense Army annihilated the strength of the two banners of the Han Army and killed the true ancestor of Gushan, and this merit can also be rewarded to the officers and soldiers of the Fifth Army.
"The head of Zu Dashou will be fine, and his seal and other things will also be preserved for the Ministry of National Defense to investigate and inspect the work."
"Yes."
Then the deputy commander-in-chief Guo Rong asked: "General Town, should we go north to catch up with the main force as soon as possible?" ”
"Well, let the heavy soldiers of each department clean up the battlefield first, count the heads and captures, let the soldiers of all departments also take a breath, and the army will march north in an hour."
"Yes."
In this battle, the officers and soldiers of the Fifth Army of the National Defense Army took Cao Zhuangyi with the momentum of devastating and decaying, gathered and annihilated the remnants of the two blue flags of the Han army, beheaded more than 37,000 levels, and killed the Han army Zhenglan Banner Gushan Zhenzu Dashou, the soldiers of the Ming army did not take prisoners in this battle, and the officers and soldiers of each department suffered 452 casualties, almost all of which were casualties caused by the counterattack of the two blue flags of the Han army after entering Caozhuang Station.
More than an hour later, Shen Tuo led his troops to set off from Caozhuang Station and march towards the Ningyuan Acropolis in the north.
On the Yong'an Fort defensive line, Xu Ming, chief officer of the Seventh Army of the National Defense Army, and Qian Zhang, chief officer of the Eighth Army, also issued orders for a general attack, and nearly 100,000 soldiers of the two armies launched an attack from the front and rear at the same time, launching a general attack on the Qing troops stationed in the Yong'an Fort defensive line.
"Put!"
"Hurry up and reload!"
"Aim at Fort City, release!"
Rumble!!
More than 1,000 artillery pieces of various types of artillery of the two armies have been bombarded continuously, and now, after several days of fierce bombardment, the Yong'an Fort defense line has almost been completely destroyed, and the Qing troops stationed in various parts of the defense line have suffered heavy losses.
On the wall of Yong'an Fort, Prince Yi Babutai was covered with dust at this time, and the whole person was embarrassed, Babutai had led his troops to break through four times, but without exception they were beaten back by the Ming army, seeing that there was no hope of breaking through, the Qing army inside and outside the defense line was demoralized, and even many soldiers had begun to despair.
Suddenly, several shells hit the city of Yong'an Fort, which frightened Babutai and hurriedly ran away with his head in his arms, and entered Yong'an Fort to hide under the protection of a large number of soldiers.
At this time, the outer defense line had been swept away by the officers and men of the Seventh Army and the Eighth Army of the Wehrmacht, and the artillery of each department could bombard the wall of Yong'an Fort at close range, which caused a greater shock to all parts of the Qing army.
Xu Ming looked at Yong'an Fort, which was close at hand, and excitedly said to Du Zhongming, the deputy commander-in-chief beside him: "Order all departments, after half an hour, the artillery will stop bombardment, and the soldiers of all departments will start a general attack, and Yong'an Fort must be taken today!" ”
"Order!"
Du Zhongming grinned and said, "The headquarters will be here for a while, and I will lead the soldiers to charge!" ”
Xu Ming glanced at Du Zhongming, this guy just likes to lead the troops to charge, and now he is the deputy chief soldier, but he still can't change this habit, no matter how many times he says it, it doesn't work, there is really no way.
"Then you have to be careful, don't capsize in the gutter!"
Du Zhongming laughed and said: "Don't worry, I must have brought enough guards, and I will advance steadily all the way to the fort, I won't take risks, I still want to take the seat of the head town!" ”
Xu Ming scolded "angrily" when he heard this: "You kid wants to be beautiful, don't get out of here!" ”
Du Zhongming laughed and got on his horse to mobilize troops and horses, and the officers and men of the various departments in front also began to move rapidly, and on the other hand, the officers and men of the Eighth Army of the National Defense Army also received orders to prepare for a general attack on Yong'an Fort under the order of the chief military officer Qian Qiao.
"Stop shelling!"
"All the troops are marching forward!"
"Kill it, don't leave the chickens and dogs!"
Half an hour later, the Seventh Army and the Eighth Army of the Wehrmacht sounded the order, and the bombardment of 1,000 and hundreds of artillery pieces stopped one after another, and then tens of thousands of birds began to move forward in formation, and a large number of throwers roared and rushed to the city of Yong'an Fort, and the general attack began!
At the head of the city, Prince Yi Babutai was like ashes at this time, knowing that his last moment had come, so he immediately ordered the elite of all banners to be assembled, preparing to rely on Yong'an Fort City to defend to the end.
"As long as this round of attacks is repulsed, the Ming army will definitely rest, and then the king will be able to take the opportunity to lead the army to break through again!!"
Babutai secretly thought in his heart, and the Qing soldiers began to deploy their troops.
Manchuria, Mongolia, the Han army, the North Koreans, and the two white flags of the DPRK have suffered huge casualties, especially the Han army's red flags and the Korean flags, which have suffered more than 30 percent casualties.
At this time, the banners Gushan Ezhen received an order, and while ordering his subordinates to reorganize his troops and horses, he hurried to the Chinese army in Yong'an Fort.
When the Mongolian Red Flag Gushan Ezhen Buyan Dynasty, the Han Army Inlaid Red Flag Gushan Ezhen Zu Kefa, the North Korean Red Flag Gushan Ezhen Laosa, the North Korean Zhengbai Flag Gushan Ezhen Curb Bilong, and the North Korean Inlaid White Flag Gushan Ezhen Suke Saha When they arrived at the lobby of the Chinese army, they were either gray and dignified, or they were injured and depressed, and none of them were full of energy.
"Everyone!"
When Babutai saw that everyone had arrived, he said loudly: "The final decisive battle has come, and the warriors of all banners must defend Yong'an Fort to the death, and fight to the death with the Ming army, so that those Han dogs know that the warriors of my Qing Dynasty cannot be defeated or defeated!" ”
The crowd listened to Babutai's words, but there was no reaction, just a mechanical salute to receive the order.
In the eyes of everyone, the defeat of this battle is a sure thing, and now these slogans are still being shouted, which has no practical meaning, and no one believes it anymore.
Seeing everyone's reaction, Babutai's heart was also cold, and then he said: "As long as the warriors of all banners withstand this round of attack, the Ming army will inevitably rest, and then this king will definitely organize another breakthrough, and that is where the warriors of all banners of our army live!" ”
Everyone reacted when they heard this, and there was some flickering in everyone's eyes.
Then Babutai gave some orders to the people, and then ordered them to return to their positions and defend them.
Now that all the units of the Qing army were cowering in the city of Yong'an Fort and the last line of defense in front of the fort, there was no room for maneuver, so everyone quickly returned to their respective positions.
At this moment, the boundless Ming army soldiers had rushed to the front, a large number of Ming army throwers rushed to the front, so brave that they didn't care about the lead bullets shot by the guns of the Qing army's flags, roared and continued to throw earth-shaking thunder, many throwers were in the midst of throwing earth-shaking thunder, and fell on the battlefield.
There were even a few throwers who were shot before they could get out of their hands, and fell to the ground unwillingly, and then were blown to pieces by the falling sky-shattering thunder.
At this time, the officers and soldiers of the Ming army had already killed the red eyes, and the hatred for the Qing army, the desire for military achievements, and the anger of the comrades who died in battle, were intertwined, so that all the officers and soldiers of the Ming army were not afraid of death, and rushed to Yong'an Fort like a tide.
After all, when facing a desperate situation, as long as it is a normal person, it will give it a go, except for a small number of Qing soldiers who have been completely defeated, most of them are desperately firing, firing arrows, or taking out all kinds of blades, ready to fight hand-to-hand.
Rumble!
The earth-shattering thunder continued to explode, and soon the defense line outside Yong'an Fort was full of flames, and the Qing soldiers stationed in this last line of defense were the soldiers and horses of the North Korean Red Flag and the North Korean White Flag Gushan Ezhen Laosa, the North Korean White Flag Gushan Ezhen Bilong, and the North Korean White Flag Gushan Ezhen Suke Saha was even more fearless and roared on the front line to command.
The North Korean soldiers of the Three Banners were also considered to have played for a long time at this time, and they still did not collapse in the face of the constantly exploding earth-shattering thunder and the storm-like salvo of birds.
However, Rausa, Suppilon and Sukh Saha all knew in their hearts that the Korean soldiers at this time were only one step away from collapse, and they were just the last straw that broke the hearts of the army!
