Chapter 72, Xiao Guan City died heroes
Sigh:
Who stepped forward in Baizhang Guancheng? Fame and fortune were all thrown away.
The body is loyal to the righteousness, and the blood flows in the yellow sand and green history.
The song is like crying, and the breath is like a mountain. The moon is dark, the sun is dark, and the clouds are cold.
The hero fell under the blade, still trying to control the strings from a strong enemy!
ββIt is said that Lin Heng's right army was under Xiao Pass that day, the five counties where the right army passed, and the old Longjiao Peak in Dingbian Prefecture, all of them were still in flames of war.
When the right army Lin Heng arrived at the city of Xiaoguan, he set up camp under the city, set up an earthen wall as the city, to block the red-haired cavalry, and set out to make every effort to capture Xiaoguan.
At this time, the five counties passed by the right army, Shatian County, Shitian County, Ban County, Xiang County, and Liangzi County, were engaged in siege battles everywhere.
That Liu Wuming and the deputy pioneer An Gongzi Ming came to fight Shatian County, Liu Wuming made a plan, 20,000 Taiping troops pretended to withdraw to the north, but set up an ambush halfway, fought an ambush battle, and wiped out all the pursuing soldiers in Shatian County, and then, An Gongzi Ming returned to the army to capture Shatian County, and Liu Wuming led 20,000 troops to Shitian County
On the side of Shitian County, Yang Jin and Ruan Ting Er will ambush in the north of Shitian County, but I don't want the red-haired soldier guard of Shitian County to be a stupid guy with stupid luck:
This guy's name is Glides, and he is dead and stupid, only in the city, and he does not attack. His reason was: The marshal ordered our army to defend the city, and if the enemy did not come to attack the city, Lao Tzu only had to drink; when the enemy came to attack, Lao Tzu released cavalry and rushed at him!
So, when Liu Wuming and An Gongziming's 20,000 horses attacked Shatian County, the Shitian defenders did not move, and after Shatian County was captured, the Shitian defenders did not move, until Liu Wuming and An Gongziming led 20,000 horses to Shitian County, Ruan Ting and Yang Jin also gave up the ambush and led 20,000 horses to cooperate with Liu Wuming and An Gongziming to attack the city together, and the Shitian defenders reacted.
When Glydes saw that the Taiping army had 40,000 horses to attack the city, this guy was stupid and shrewd: You are many people, okay, you are many people, Lao Tzu will not go out of the city to fight you, you want to attack the city, Lao Tzu will play with you!
In the face of a red-haired guard like Glydis, although Liu Wuming is a military advisor, he has no good way to think of it, only the trick of sneaking attack and capturing the city can take some advantage.
However, after entering the city, the Taiping army and the red-haired army fought in the streets of the city, the red-haired soldiers were cavalry after all, and the Taiping army could not use the wheel array to counterattack because of the cramped place.
Therefore, although the city was captured, the losses were not small, 40,000 horses, and nearly 11,000 people were killed and wounded! An Gongziming, the deputy pioneer, was also seriously wounded.
Therefore, Liu Wuming left An Gongziming and 3,000 wounded soldiers to recuperate in Shitian County, and left another 2,000 men and horses to defend the city, so he and Ruan Ting and Yang Jin led 27,000 troops to march to Ban County.
On the side of Ban County, the Taiping Army Land Rover and Lu Ba were lucky, the red-haired defenders of Ban County went out of the city to pursue, were ambushed by Land Rover, and were easily captured by Lu Ba.
When Liu Wuming, Ruan Ting, and Yang Jin led the troops, Land Rover and Lu Ba's second generals had already gone to Xiangxian to participate in the battle.
So Liu Wuming, Ruan Ting, and Yang Jin led the troops to rush to Xiangxian County, and the three groups of men and horses converged in Xiangxian County, with a total of 65,000 people, to seize Xiangxian County.
At this time, Lin Heng was discussing with Fu Liming and discussing the attack on Xiaoguan Guancheng.
Lin Heng said: "Senator Fu, our army has come from afar, and what we are most worried about is that the supply of grain and grass is not available, so it is best to fight quickly, however, the red-haired general Moligqi is guarding the city and does not go out to fight, so if it goes on like this, the situation of our army is not good!
Fu Liming said: "Marshal, all kinds of tactics are difficult to use here, and I don't have any good methods."
However, on the side of Longjiao Peak, the left army and the forbidden army of our lord Khan Emperor are fighting hard with the red-haired demon general Hulagus in Longjiao Peak for days, and the soldiers guarding the pass here have sent 30,000 red-haired soldiers to support and want to attack our left army with Hulags.
From this point of view, it should be the time when the defenders in Xiaoguan City are the least, and from this point of view, it is the best policy to take the opportunity to attack and quickly capture Guancheng. β
When Lin Heng heard this, he sighed and said: "Go into battle to kill the enemy, if there is a clever plan available, then you can reduce the sacrifice, it seems that there is no basis for borrowing, and there is only one way to fight hard." β
At this time, Zhu Wu hurriedly came to report: "Marshal, our army's grain and grass are only enough to support ten years, and the current Tanma report is that from Nashatian County to Liangzi County, there is a war everywhere in five counties all the way, and it is difficult to transport grain and grass in time - ten days later, it will be difficult to continue!"
When Lin Heng heard this, he said: "Liu Junshi, Yang Jin, Ruan Ting, Land Rover, Lu Ba, Ma Ming, and Chen Tong are attacking Xiangxian County, and the situation is very good.
At present, here in Liangzi County, Zhang Long and Wang Han are also attacking the city, and although the road for our army to deliver grain and grass should be long, it will not be difficult, General Zhu, how can it be difficult to continue after 10 days? What is the reason for this? Why haven't I seen you report it to me before?"
Zhu Wudao: "Marshal, the battle of the five counties along the way, there will be changes, I haven't received the grain and grass from the rear for two days!"
Before Zhu Wu finished his sentence, he had already reported to Malay: "Marshal! Zhang Long, Wang and Han failed to attack Liangzi County, and the red-haired soldiers of Liangzi County, with 30,000 people, are rushing to Xiaoguan!"
When Lin Heng heard this, he was taken aback: "In this way, our army is in a situation where the enemy is on its back!"
When Fu Liming heard this, he said: "Marshal, the battle situation is urgent, in my opinion, the marshal should quickly order Liu Junshi and other generals to attack the troops of Xiangxian County, and transfer a part of them to come to my aid quickly, and at the same time, our army will score a force to block the enemy from Naliangzi County on the back road!"
Lin Heng said: "That's all!"
At that time, Lin Heng ordered that Fu Liming lead the two generals Meng Wei and Zhao Meng, lead 20,000 troops, and set up two ambushes in a row to block the red-haired soldiers from Naliangzi County.
Fu Liming, Meng Wei and Zhao Meng, two generals, led 20,000 troops to ambush the enemy, after departure, under the city of Xiaoguan, Lin Heng's right army only had 30,000 horses, Lin Heng convened a meeting of the generals.
Lin Heng said: "Generals, at present, our army has 30,000 horses here, and on the side of Longjiao Peak on the Eastern Front, the battle is very fierce. Our lord Emperor Khan hoped that our right army would take Xiaoguan City as soon as possible, so as to prevent the red-haired soldiers outside the pass from continuing to enter the pass, and at the same time, free up part of the troops to return to Longjiaofeng.
Our army must seize Xiaoguan City as soon as possible and block the pass, so that internally, we can trap the red-haired demon general Hulagus, and externally, we can prevent the red-haired soldiers from entering Xiaoguan continuously, invade our mountains and rivers and kill my people!
At present, the situation of our army under Xiaoguan City is even more difficult than the situation of attacking the Mumen Gorge Pass more than half a year ago! However, we must overwhelm all enemies, and we must not be overwhelmed by the enemy!
The commander's intention has been decided, tomorrow our army will attack Xiaoguan City in an all-round way, and everyone should carry soil bags, rush to the bottom of Guancheng, and build a mountain of soil, so that our army can attack the wall of Guancheng and capture Xiaoguan!
This battle must be won!
Although the sacrifice in this battle will be great, its significance is also great!
This commander demanded that all the officers and men of our army must have the will to sacrifice their lives for the country, sacrifice one of them, and make countless people in the rear happy! Otherwise, the city will not be able to be taken, the red hair will invade, and my clan will be slaughtered by foreign races!"
Speaking of this, all the generals said: "Yes!
Lin Heng said again: "Generals, I have already drawn up now, you are in the big tent of the Chinese army, and together with this commander, you will take an oath to capture the city tomorrow!"
After taking the oath, when you return to your battalion, it is advisable to summon the generals and colonels of each battalion, and all officers and officers above the rank of captain must take the oath together, and then all the soldiers of the hundred, the serge, and the army must also take the oath!"
All the generals responded in unison: "Yes!"
For a while, the sound of the oath sounded in the big tent of Lin Heng's Chinese army:
-- Thinking of my compatriots, many people have been slaughtered and thrown corpses into the wilderness, how miserable is it? Red-haired devils, heaven and man are jealous!
We are a peaceful soldier, tenacious and unyielding, and a hero who is invincible! Swear to seize Xiao Pass, block the captive horse! Swear to fight to the death, passionate and righteous! Sacrifice me to benefit thousands of families!
Swear to take Xiao Pass! Swear to win Xiao Pass! If you don't go down Xiao Pass, you would rather not survive!
In an instant, the majestic and impassioned roar of this tragic song was like an angry wave crashing on the shore, like a landslide and a tsunami, and it resounded in the wilderness! The mountains and valleys should respond, the grass and trees of Qinglong Mountain should fight millet, the echoes of the sea, and the waves of the Longniang Sea!
In a short time, this voice sounded again in the tents of the camp of the right army, in the school field of the camp, and in a larger area, like a tsunami!
The sound of the oath, fly over the sea, fly over the mountains, fly up the high pass.
On the city of Xiaoguan, the red-haired soldiers could hear the sound of the enemy camp, but they couldn't hear the content clearly, and they didn't understand what the Taiping army under the city was shouting, but the tragic spirit and the generosity always made the red-haired soldiers hairy, and their hearts trembled!
- The dervishes village husband is a quasi-ancient tune, and he wrote the small word "Partridge Heaven", which is the idle word at the beginning of this chapter, which is used to lament the battle, and when he writes that "the hero fell under the blade, he still wanted to control the strings to Xiao Guan", although it was too straightforward, but he couldn't help but be moist in his eyes:
- From ancient times to the present, there have been many heroes who shed blood on the front line first, and then shed tears in the rear.
At that time, the soldiers on the front line sacrificed their lives in blood and worked hard for the peace of the world, but as everyone knows, whether it is the rear or the future generations, how many people sing and dance, and how many people are corrupt and degenerate! Who can still remember today?
There is a green history, and the history books are just buried in the National History Museum. The world is bustling, all for profit, who has the leisure to see the history?
Without much gossip, just say that the next day, the war was everywhere, and Lin Heng's right army of 30,000 horses came to attack Xiaoguan City.
First of all, the catapults in the Taiping army all sent stones, however, the walls of Xiaoguan City were too high, and the effect was greatly reduced. It took about half an hour to throw stones to attack the city, and Lin Heng gave an order, and the flying army on the city was attacked, and the bottom was to be piled up into a mountain of earth.
A thousand flying troops, all of whom were hardcover warriors, under the leadership of Song Yi, threw catapults into the city. Unexpectedly, because the wall of Xiaoguan City was too high, Song Yi was not thrown on the city wall, but hit the halfway waist of the city wall and fell down!
A good Song Yi, who was in danger at the time, used the iron gun in his hand to the ground to weaken the impact of the fall, only to hear a "stab" sound, Song Yi's big gun was not a few feet underground!
Song Yi hurriedly pulled out his gun, and he couldn't take care of himself for a while, but he was shot by the red-haired soldier in the city, and the arrow hit his left shoulder!
All the troops and Marshal Lin Heng were taken aback, and Song Yi shouted to Lin Heng and the other troops: "Marshal rest assured! This little injury is nothing!"
As he spoke, Song Yi pulled out the enemy's arrows and still came to attack the city, so he had to climb the city wall with the ropes laid down on the city.
At this time, on the city wall of Xiaoguan, the Taiping army flew into the city, less than fifty out of ten could vote on the city wall, and more than 1,000 people were finally thrown on the city wall. The rest, like Song Yi, also fell down. Of those who fell, nearly half of them fell to their deaths, and a few fell to injury!
In addition, the vanguard Song Yi failed to get to the city, and his overall combat strength was quite weak, and in the face of the counteroffensive of the red-haired soldiers, it was difficult to form an effective offensive and effectively expand the results of the battle.
Despite this, more than 400 people still shouted for battle, calling for killing again and again, among which those who were stabbed and shot, as long as they did not fall, were fighting bloodily, and they all made up their minds - killing one enemy is enough, killing two enemies is to earn one, killing more and earning more, and making a lot of money.
And under the city, under the command of Lin Heng, all the armies took the soil bags and rushed to the foot of the city wall to pile up the dirt mountain.
At this time, the battle was white-hot, on the wall of Xiaoguan City, the red-haired soldiers were like a shower, and in that rain of arrows, rolling stones fell, and hot oil splashed down!
The officers and soldiers of the right army of the Taiping Army, braving the edge, threw down the soil bags, piled up into a mountain of soil and gradually rose higher, so that the follow-up people and horses could use it to ascend the city!
Many soldiers rushed to the city, and before they could throw down the soil bags, they were sacrificed, and even the people were buried under the walls of the city!
However, it was said that among the four hundred Taiping troops in the city, there was a young general named Lin Xiaolong, who was originally Lin Hui's nephew, and was appointed as the commander of Lin Hui's personal guards, and the official was the commander.
At this time, on the high city wall of Guancheng, the commander of the red-haired soldiers, Mo Ligqi, personally came to fight Lin Xiaolong, and Mo Lige danced his sword on his horse, and Lin Xiaolong fought on foot to meet the enemy, and he was wounded in battle, which was always inconvenient.
As soon as thousands of red-haired soldiers swarmed up, they overwhelmed the figure of the four hundred Taiping Army flying troops and Lin Xiaolong!
Lin Xiaolong was wounded more than a dozen times, and he was still fighting hard, shouting again and again! A red-haired soldier took him by surprise and stabbed Lin Xiaolong in the thigh, Lin Xiaolong snorted in pain, swung his knife and slashed it, and the red-haired soldier's head fell!
Marshal of the red-haired soldiers, Morrig, was furious and swung his sword to defeat the enemy. Lin Xiaolong's shouting stopped, and he donated his life from then on!
When Lin Heng saw it in the city, tears flowed from his eyes.
At this time, on the city wall, there was no Taiping Army flying army fighting, the red-haired soldiers drew their knives to cut the rope, and many Taiping soldiers who were climbing the city wall fell off the city, and the casualties were not small!
The army under the city is also inevitably depressed.
Lin Heng was shocked, at this time, how could he be discouraged?
So, Lin Heng personally beat the drum and three links to boost morale! He got off his horse again, took the dirt bag, carried it on his back, and personally came to pile up the earth and mountains that captured the city!
When Song Yi saw this, he was shocked, but he had no choice but to shout: "Soldiers, brothers, the marshal personally carries the mound of dirt and mountains, and everyone is desperate!"
The armies under the city could see in their eyes and hear in their ears, and at that time, the three armies shouted in unison: "Brothers, fight to the death!"
Bows and arrows rain like rain, who dares to charge?
Lin Heng carried the dirt bag, ran all the way to the city, ran up the dirt mountain, threw the dirt bag down, and was about to turn back, not wanting an arrow to shoot in the city, penetrate the helmet, and hit Lin Heng's head!
Lin Heng felt a splitting headache at that time, and knew that the injury was not light, but he didn't dare to pull out the arrow, but he was afraid that if he pulled out the arrow, it would be a person who went with the arrow!
At this time, the officers and soldiers of the right army of the Taiping Army, throwing dirt bags and piling up mountains of soil, it was for the mountains and nine thousands, and the merits were short, as the commander of the three armies, how could they fall?
Lin Heng was only afraid that as soon as he fell, he would lose his morale and military heart, and today's hard battle will be in vain!
Lin Heng gritted his teeth and held on, raised his eyes to the sky and roared, "Soldiers of the three armies, go up!"
said that the arrow that hit Lin Heng was sent by the red-haired soldier commander Mo Ligeqi.
At that time, as soon as Molige saw that the other party's commander personally carried the mound mountain, the Taiping army under the city was in a hurry, and he knew that something was wrong, so he hated it, opened his bow and set up an arrow, looked at Lin Hui, shot down from above, and hit with an arrow!
Lin Heng was hit by an arrow, so he inserted the big knife into the dirt mountain, leaned on the knife shaft, stabilized his body, stretched his bow and arrows, and wanted to shoot the enemy generals in the city!
However, at this time, Lin Heng was bleeding all over his face, and his eyes were also blocked by blood, so he couldn't see the enemy generals in the city clearly, so he only loosened the bowstring in his hand and shot out, but he was weak, and he fell down if he missed the target.
At the same moment, Lin Heng's body was crooked, and the hero fell to the ground!
I heard a "boom" sound, like the collapse of ten thousand mountains!
The hero's body fell to the ground, and the huge sound shocked the hearts of countless Taiping Army soldiers!
When Song Yi saw this, when he was wounded and attacked the city, he mourned and shouted: "Soldiers, avenge my heroic marshal!"
"Avenge the marshal!" "Rush!" "Rush!"
- Rush!
This shout, all over the mountains, straight up to Xiaoguan!
On November 19, the fourth winter of Emperor Taiping Khan, under the city of Xiaoguan, Lin Heng, the marshal of the right army, sacrificed his life for the country!
On the city of Xiaoguan, the imperial flag of the Datong nation was once again fluttering! This is the imperial flag of the Taiping Khanate!
