Chapter 298: Heavenly Omen (I)
Port of Whitehorse
"Bang bang bang!"
The fire rang out in unison, sending out projectiles and smoke.
In the roar of the fire, the people in front of them were knocked to the ground, rolling on the ground and screaming loudly.
The first row of firefighters quickly retreated, retreated to the last row, took out the cartridge medicine in the oil bag, loaded it, and the second row was already in place, aiming the muzzle of the black and faint gun below.
"Shoot again!"
The second row of fires erupted into flames, and the screams were heard again
"Shoot!" the third row went up, and by this time the first row was almost fully loaded.
The continuous sound of gunfire was one after another, and this kind of continuous shooting was a speed that the archers could not match, and after several rounds of continuous shooting, the whole city was filled with thick white smoke.
The officers ordered a ceasefire, on the one hand, to let the smoke of gunfire disperse, and on the other hand, to cool down the fire.
After a few rounds of firing, the three platoons of fire were already hot and had to be cooled down, otherwise it was very dangerous.
The smoke of gunpowder dissipated, and within the scope of the city, a bloody corpse had accumulated a layer of houhou, the city wall of Baima Harbor was not too high, and the trench trap was not very deep, but it could not be crossed in the range of dozens of steps in Huohang, no matter how much it was driven, the Han people in the distance still retreated, and the Hu people couldn't even stop killing.
The sun hung high in the sky, and the bright sunlight shone down
The weather is getting hotter and hotter day by day, and many of them are already shirtless when they are resting, but even so, they are still sweating with their firepower.
Seeing that it was not too early, Junguān gave the order to start eating.
Rice, broth, fish!
Although there is a river below, when Shi Bīng smells the fragrance of meat, he still rushes over with a smile on his face, and asks people to dig up a big bowl of meat and eat it in a big gulp.
At first, some people vomited and couldn't eat, but now, they ignore it.
Dacheng's food has always been very good, which has boosted their morale, and the successive victories have brought them a strong backing, which has made these old subordinates who followed Lu Gaolai more courageous than before.
The two juns win against the brave, and morale often has a great influence on the outcome of the battle.
Yuzhang County, Jiyang County
"Boom, boom, boom!" The earth-shattering sound of bombardment continued to sound, and even the earth trembled slightly.
A moment later, a city wall, "boom" collapsed, although the gate of this county is not broken, but there has been a gap, Lu Gao saw it on a high platform, smiled slightly, and ordered: "Order Zuo to enter Jun." ”
"No!" immediately conveyed the order, and at this moment, the bīng force of the capital suddenly swarmed in from the gap.
As soon as the city is broken, the city will be defeated like a mountain, and it will be defeated and retreated.
Because of his previous refusal to surrender, he guarded the county order of the city at this time, with a qīnbīng, and swore to resist.
But it didn't take half an hour, and it didn't take long for someone to take the head in the chaos.
The county order is a sǐ, and Shoujunjun's heart completely collapses.
Eat grain as bīng, eat grain as bīng, even the main general is sǐ, who else to go to mài life?
The soldiers all surrendered on their knees.
"The county order is dead, it is good to die, and if you don't die, you must correct the law, and there is also an order to supervise the army to enter to check military discipline, quickly restore law and order, and treat wounded soldiers on the spot. Lu Gao said commandingly.
Lu Gao's Fa-rectification refers to the officials, ordinary soldiers, who have been put under arms, temporarily imprisoned, and begun to rectify order in the city.
In the previous rebellion, some defenders took the opportunity to flee to civilian households to loot or burn, kill and loot, and such people were ordered by Lu Gao to rectify the law on the spot.
However, Lu Gao did not enter the city, thought about it, and said instructed: "Continue to send people to persuade you to surrender, and those who do not surrender will be punished." ”
As soon as the East County was broken, Jiyang was in danger, there were eleven counties in Jiyang, and three counties surrendered immediately, and it was not until this county that it was resisted, but with the East County was broken, the surrendered troops were gathered, and at this time there were more than 40,000.
The 40,000-strong army, just using a thunder car, blasted through this county in one day, and already had a great deterrent, thinking of this, Lu Gao ordered to continue to persuade the counties to surrender.
Presumably, at least half of the remaining seven counties fell into the wind.
The war is like this, the first county is the most difficult to fight, and after it is defeated, it has prestige and general momentum, and it is like a snowball, and it falls one after another.
The Thunderbolt played a great role in the battle.
And Jiyang's intelligence, along with the battle report, was transmitted to many people at the fastest speed.
The land of the rivers of Baima Harbor is covered with dense camps.
During these days, the camp expanded considerably, and 10,000 more Hu soldiers and 10,000 new annexes arrived, making a total of 35,000.
The dense camp tents stretch for more than ten miles, and the large battalion of the Chinese army is an elite army.
In the big camp, Khurbo was reading the information, and when he saw the information presented, his face was a little ugly.
The Dacheng army seized Dongjun and pounced on Jiyang, with a momentum like a rainbow, and in his opinion, the goal was very simple.
When Jiyang was taken, the army of Emperor Dacheng, who had been marching slowly, happened to meet Chen Liu, and in the face of the two-sided army, Chen Liu had no power to resist.
According to estimates, within half a month, Jiyang will fall, and the two armies will meet.
Half a month, can you take down the port of Whitehorse?
Taking down the White Horse Port is not the goal, but also crossing the river and arriving at Guandu and setting foot on the Central Plains.
And the Thunder Car.
"Waste, what a bunch of rubbish!" Huerbo thought of this, his hand clenched violently, and he clenched the entire brown paper into a ball: "I haven't gotten the Thunder Car secret yet, what a bunch of rubbish!"
Seeing that Hu Erbo was a little displeased, someone below said: "Your Highness, the guard of the Thunder Car is strictly forbidden, unprecedented, the military orders are extremely strict, and the exclusive cavalry shoots and kills the spies, and the people who are ordered to secretly investigate are killed and wounded......."
"The new annexed army spies on the secret camp, and there are a lot of losses, and the hidden ones are more silent...... Do you need to send someone to steal it? Is it too costly?"
"This thing is very important, how can the Dacheng army not be guarded against? But even if you sacrifice more people, you must get it, as long as you get this thing, our grassland army will be invincible, and the Han people can no longer resist. Huerbo threw aside the brown paper in his hand and said lightly.
Hu Erbo does not have the contempt of the Han officials for technology, and does not think that this is a small skill, and for the grassland people, it is only practical.
For these weapons, Khurbo was very concerned, and even before slaughtering the city and driving the people, he had to select the craftsmen.
In his eyes, the value of craftsmen is much higher than that of Han officials.
Hu Erbo snorted: "If you pass the order, you don't have to take into account the wealth and official position, whoever wants to go to the khanate, you will spend what you want to spend, and the officials who want to be awarded will be boldly awarded, and you must win over the Han people, spy on secrets, and respond to the situation at a critical time." ”
"Yes!" someone below wrote down the order and prepared to send it out.
Kurbo took a few steps and ordered, "Call Limu over." ”
"Yes!"
After a while, Li Mu, who was dressed in armor, came over and saluted: "What is the matter with Your Highness?"
"There is a fire pill supplement in the port of Whitehorse, and the current pattern, the attack is becoming more and more meaningless. Khurbo said briefly: "I have already played to my father Khan, and asked my father Khan to immediately send troops to attack Yizhou, my father Khan is wise and will send troops."
The change of the current situation made Hu Erbo more and more soberly realize that the original plan to strike hard at Wang Hongyi basically failed, and he immediately realized that the most important thing now is not to attack Wang Hongyi, but to take advantage of this opportunity to seize Yizhou and take all the north of the Yellow River.
Only by gathering 100,000 troops can Wang Hongyi really strike a fatal blow.
After a pause, he said: "Baima Harbor can only defend the city, you lead 5,000 to continue to supervise the battle in this battalion, and 10,000 new annexed troops are also under your control, you can fight the best, you can't, don't be anxious." ”
"Yes, Your Highness, what about you?"
"If this road doesn't work, I'll go to Sungang, go directly down the river, pounce on Mengjin Port, go straight to Luoyang, force Liu Man to surrender, lead Wang Hongyi into the customs, and kill him in the pass. Speaking of which, Hurbo had a hint of murder.
Zheng Guogong Liu Man's indecisiveness made Hu Erbo deeply disappointed, but at the same time saw through his nature of being strong and capable, Hu Erbo therefore felt that as long as he went to relieve Sun Gang, directly crossed the river, and went straight to Luoyang through Mengjin Port, the soldiers came to the city, and the thunder struck, Liu Man would be panicked and surrendered.
After descending, it is not impossible to even contact the Han King Qin, lay a net in Luoyang, and give Wang Hongyi a fatal blow, or even kill Wang Hongyi.
Thinking of this, Hurbo smiled coldly, revealing a deep murderous intent.
At this thought, the faint black dragon floated up in an instant, only to hear the sound of "boom" in the sky, which shook the earth and trembled slightly.
Suddenly, he raised the curtain, stood at the mouth of the tent and looked, only to see the originally clear sky, a line of thick clouds surging like ink, looking slow, really very fast, faintly even thunder.
Khurbo frowned and ordered, "Attack again in the rain." ”
But I didn't pay too much attention to it, yes, the fire is afraid of the rain, but this is not a wild land, the pavilion on the city wall to block the rain, and now a large number of temporary wooden frames have been built, covered with tarpaulin, just so that when it rains, it will not be exposed to the rain, and it can also be shot.
After the order was finished, he turned around and went back to the tent, at this time the sky was full of thick clouds, only to hear the sound of "swish", the rain fell, and after a while, the heavy rain was like a note, and the tent became dark.
At this time, a lightning bolt illuminated the tent, followed by a continuous thunder like firecrackers, which frightened everyone in the tent with a tremble.
Khurbo attaches great importance to this phenomenon, and wonders in his heart, not knowing whether this is evil or auspicious.
At this time, a house in Luoyang
A Taoist priest was retracting the needle, only to retract it, lying on a middle-aged man's eyes lit up, suddenly pushed the pillow up, put on slippers in a trance, and stood up.
The middle-aged man only felt that the discomfort in his body had disappeared cleanly, and he was suddenly surprised, and after a while, he said: "Dao Changguo is an immortal, and the fruit is an immortal!"
"My lord, there are one hundred and eighty volumes of scriptures in this gate, and the trail is only a little clearer about the "Shangzhen Sutra", and I dare not call it an immortal. The Taoist priest said lightly, without any self-esteem.
At this moment, only the sound of "boom" was heard, and there was a thunderstorm outside, and in a moment, the crackling rain fell, and the sky suddenly darkened.
This person was suddenly startled, stared at the sky, and muttered: "The sky has changed?"
