Chapter 495: The People Forced the Palace

Yun Ji knows very well that the Great War of Chu has evolved so far, when he captured Taojia Pass and made the emperor of Chu reduced to a lonely city, his mission has ended, and then it is when Senior Brother Yunxiao has made a difference, as for the worldly battlefield, let Liang Tao decide the victory. Ran Wen Xiao? Said ?.? r?a?n?? e?n?`org

As for Yun Ji himself, he took Huaiying to stay in Taojia Pass, in addition to instructing Huaiying to practice, he was also pondering the operation of the Heaven and Earth Net, so as to master this magic weapon as soon as possible.

......

The army left Taojia Pass and marched cautiously for only a day and night, and it was already possible to see the majestic scene of the mountain city Heavenly Palace from afar, but before that, it was the garrison defense line that had been arranged long ago.

In fact, in the Chu State, most of the troops that can fight well were destroyed and collapsed in the previous battles, and now the garrison battalion stationed in the imperial capital of the Chu State is only more than 2,000 people, plus the Jin Wuwei in the Suli Heavenly Palace has also been transferred out, with a total of 4,000 people.

As for those citizens of the imperial capital who took the initiative to join the army, although there were tens of thousands of people, they were only weak militias at best, and in today's battlefield environment, it is no longer the key to the difference between numbers and defeats.

And this time, Liang Tao led a total of 20,000 horses, which is only a soldier who specializes in combat, and there are many logistical transfers from Taojiaguan. Previously, when Yun Ji was governing Shudi, the group of Red Flower Society and the remnants of the bandits, about 2,000 people, were cannon fodder that Yun Ji instructed Liang Tao to call at will.

Liang Tao didn't have the slightest affection for these ruffians who were already guilty, and Yun Ji handed it over to him, so he naturally wanted to play the greatest role of cannon fodder.

Liang Tao did not abuse these cannon fodder, he had three full meals a day, opened meat every other day, distributed military salaries as usual, and tried his best to buy people's hearts until he reached the imperial capital of Chu State, and this gang of murderers had become the loyal and brave clan of General Liang Tao.

As for whether such soldiers and horses can fight, if the arrangements are properly made, there is still a place for them to play, and Liang Tao promised heavy profits, as long as he could capture the imperial capital of Chu, he would let them plunder, and everything he gained would go to his personal belongings.

This greatly stimulated the blood of the bandits, they were caught by Yunji into the army to be strong, they were already dissatisfied and frightened, and now Liang Tao has an endless supply of money and food, and even promised to let the bandits loot, which naturally makes the bandits have a kind of joy and comfort to regain their freedom.

There are even bandits speculating whether this General Liang Tao has also fallen into the grass, otherwise how would he know about the brothers on the green forest road?

On the eve of the war, Liang Tao and the bandits drank and talked happily, and the more than 2,000 bandits were like hungry jackals, eager to immediately enter the imperial capital of Chu and plunder.

It's just that the danger of the battlefield, most of these bandits who have left the market, have no real experience.

......

"Forward, forward!" the Warseer roared hoarsely and spit with his saber brandish, and with a new crank gun in his other hand, he fired directly at those who dared to turn back, whether they hit or not:

"Charge! Run up for Lao Tzu! Anyone who dares to retreat will be shot immediately! Rush forward for me!"

The artillery in the deep position in the rear did not stop roaring for a moment, and the depths of the camp of the Chu army on the opposite side were also average, and the artillery fire on both sides was endless, blowing up the center of the battlefield in a mess and mud.

The Chu military first placed a large number of obstacles in front of the position, such as red deer barricades, mines, and thistles, as well as many leftovers that were too late to build fortifications, all of which were thrown into the center of the battlefield on both sides.

Liang Tao saw this, that is, he deliberately let the bandits serve as the vanguard, and try to consume the ammunition of the Chu army, even if one more person rushes into the trench on the opposite side and consumes one more ammunition of the Chu State, Liang Tao may be able to have one more person under his command go home for reunion.

In the end, the incessant sound of artillery on both sides had turned into a wind sound in the ears of the soldiers on both sides, and the soldiers had to shout close to their ears in order to barely communicate, and the artillery fire on both sides had been bombarded for more than three hours.

With the help of many obstacles on the battlefield as cover, more than 2,000 bandits finally had more than 300 lucky people who approached the trenches of the Chu State, screaming and charging like ghosts and gods, they had already lost their rationality at this moment, and they only wanted to kill as many opponents as possible.

"That's exactly how it should be. Liang Tao looked at the bunker fortifications, and could vaguely see that the chaos in the trenches of the Chu army was gradually calmed down, and it was obvious that the bandits who rushed into the enemy formation were finally wiped out.

"General, you're ready. The herald on the side pressed his helmet and said.

Liang Tao nodded, turned to the generals and said, "The battle begins!"

An order was given, and then the orders were transmitted to all parts of the army, and the army of the Gan Dynasty was like a giant, gradually waking up, and the earth seemed to tremble together.

I saw that on the high ground on both sides of the Chu army's trench, the originally dense low bushes were suddenly lifted away, and it turned out to be a carefully processed camouflage cloth cover, which was hidden dozens of ironclad chariots, which attacked the Chu army's trench from the high ground. Behind the ironclad chariots, there were also a large number of soldiers of the Dry Dynasty, and among each team of men and horses, there were one or two people carrying huge canisters and nozzles with tongues of fire, which were new ordnance specially developed for attacking trenches.

It turned out that the bandit charge arranged by Liang Tao was just a means to cover people's ears, and the army under his command had already begun to arrange camouflage the moment they saw Yuba Mountain City, and by the banquet last night, only half of the soldiers were left in the main formation.

If it is Qin Feihong or Bai Liansheng, as long as the scout rangers are well arranged, it is impossible to ignore Liang Tao's ambush, so it can be seen that the fate of the Chu State is indeed coming to an end, and there is no great talent that can be used, and there is nothing to make progress except to blindly defend it.

The ironclad chariot crashed through the trench like a small ditch, and each time it passed through the trench, the revolver muskets on both sides would fire continuously, and then a splash of blood would follow. The rear row of foot soldiers followed, and the fire snake danced wildly in the nozzle, regardless of whether they were dead or alive in the trench, they burned first and then said, while the other foot soldiers continued to strafe.

The occasional tragic wail that erupted between the trenches would then be cut off by the sound of short gunshots, and outside the imperial capital of the Chu State, the hastily built defense line was easily broken, except for the more than 2,000 bandits who were cannon fodder, and the real loss of troops of the Gan Dynasty army was almost negligible.

On this day, the imperial capital of Chu State, which was located at the downwind outlet, smelled a scorching smell that permeated the whole city, which was the most cruel fate of tens of thousands of Chu State soldiers, and for a while the howls and cries came one after another, as if the army of the Dry Dynasty outside the city could hear it.

The people of the imperial capital who had lost their families began to gather, and when night fell, the candlelight was like a galaxy, gathering under the Suli Heavenly Palace, as long as you looked down from the platform, it seemed that you could really see the mourning surging into the sky.

"How?" Yunxiao still sat upright as a year ago, the whole person was spotless, looking at Sun Zihang, who was standing like a javelin on the platform: "Your country is in such a situation, do you want to continue?"
