And in Linfen City, where the battle is in full swing. With his helmet missing, his hair was messed up and his hair was thrown on his shoulders. Li Sizhao (Han Jintong), the commander of the Han Dynasty Mabudu, had already regretted his own design of division of troops, and disguised himself to drive away the generals headed by Li Siyuan, the director of South Road.
He thought it was relying on the tens of miles of circumference that was inherited from the ancient "Yao Capital Pingyang", the three-foot-high and two-meter-wide Dayi city defense, plus the natural victory of being located on the terraces between the river valleys, plus Hedong's soldiers are well-armed, how much can these peaceful thieves retreat.
However, he did not expect that these peaceful thieves, who would be particularly difficult in field battles and wave battles, would be so sharp and fierce in attacking the fortifications. Only five days have passed, and there have already been a number of blasted gaps on the south, east, and southwestern city walls.
There is no other reason. These thieves’ firearms are too powerful. Not only can they easily hit heavy iron balls on the city head outside of the setting of the city’s bow and crossbow and stone cannons, and bounce the equipment and guards in a line. The army was bombarded and killed, and it was still smoked and set on fire behind the battlement.
Seeing the battlements that stand tall after thousands of years of wind and rain, under the bombardment of the thundering and thunderous battles of the thundering army, they have collapsed and been damaged in many places. They are far behind the enemy but can only be beaten. The situation also reduced the morale and exhaustion of the defenders at the head of the city;
However, the thief army was still reluctant to initiate an attack, but continued to use the inner and outer triple battalions to orderly encircle the gates of Linfen City, which made people even more sad. Then, in the camp of the thief army, a giant ball that can float in the air for a long time rose up.
So the local conscripts on the front of the city, as well as the local defenders, were in an uproar. No longer the Hedong soldiers’ yelling and threats, they rushed to drop their weapons on the city wall, shouting. The names of the gods and buddhas turned down and bowed their heads.
Only those veterans who participated in the war in the customs at the time may have seen this thing and understand that it is only a means used by the bandits to look and observe, but they also cannot contain the chill that soaks their back; because this also means the city of Linfen. The deployment and the mobilization of troops and horses are simply under the clear view of the thief army.
Therefore, it was only after the sun rose again the next day. The positions on the city’s head where the cart crossbows, large wooden single crossbows, stone cannons, and carts were arranged began to be submerged in the bombardment and fire collection of constant collation; even the equipment and the personnel who could not escape were bombarded. It became fragmented pieces and powder.
However, starting from the third day, it was the turn of the castle towers and the fortifications built on the top of the city; under the almost accurate control, whether it was a sentry tower, an enemy tower, an arrow tower, or a wooden barrier, it was devastating the huge bombardment power. Under the and penetration, it fell apart or fell apart.
Even if a large thick pile of cowhide was smeared with wet mud to intercept artillery stones and fire arrows, and provide some kind of protection for the defenders below, it would not be able to stop the artillery shot by the thief; it changed after every shelling. There were a lot of holes and sores, and it was said that the defenders who were smashed into flesh were no longer able to dodge underneath.
Therefore, on the fourth day, even Li Sizhao (Han Jintong) could only stand on this section of the wall, which was submerged in blood and almost nowhere to go, as a leading example to inspire and inspire the remaining defenders;
Because at that time, Li Kening, the younger uncle who was guarding the south gate and the defense agent of Datong, was checking the equipment inside the relatively safe gate building; he was hit by a cannon that bounced and broke through the wall, and he vomited blood on the spot. The defenders at the head of the city were shaken for a while.
For this reason, Li Sizhao (Han Jintong) had to open the library of Linfen City in advance, piled up a lot of money like a hill under the root of the inner wall, and cut off dozens of people's heads and hung them on the wall for the rewards and rewards. ; Will not let them escape sporadically from the city at night.
This kind of courage and skill can not be displayed, and can only passively bear the results of casualties, and it also makes the defenders in the city angry. As a result, on the same night, Li Cunshi, the commander of soldiers and horses in front of the mountain, suddenly led his troops to attack the thieves’ base from the north of the city in the name of "little uncle" Li Kening's revenge.
As a result, under the cover of the night of the day, one thousand horses and two thousand soldiers went to the kicking camp and the assault camp. However, just outside the thieves camp, amidst the sudden roar of the explosion, the people turned over and overturned a piece of it. , The so-called touch of the dark night attack has also become a storm.
However, many fire oil cans were shot out from the thieves camp at this time, bursting and burning into one piece in the dark; at the same time, it also illuminates the bloody lying down in the dark, or trampling on the corpses of horses and horses. Then he followed, but was blocked by various stumbling ropes, pits, and wire fences.
In the second half of the night, the roar of the thieves' ammunition continued to resound almost intermittently until the sky turned white before it completely ceased. But Li Cunshi's Ministry who attacked the night attack was confirmed to have disappeared and never returned;
Even before dawn, according to Nai’s brotherhood, he opened the door again in violation of the order from the East City and went to the dark to meet the other Hedong infantry, Yuhou Li Cunhao, under the bombardment of the heavy firearms of the thief army that had been prepared for a long time. The little centaur returned after being crippled by death and injury.
As a result, even Li Sizhao (Han Jintong), who was the master general, could not help but start to miss Li Siyuan and others, and his tribesmen, who were supposed to be able to respond and cope with the troops outside according to the agreement.
However, for the combat engineering battalions successively mobilized from the pass, as well as the several artillery regiments of the strike army, this is only a preview in a certain sense; in the future, it may attack the northern capital of Taiyuan, one of the few in the world. In the giant city of Juyi, it is just a trial of the combined forces of all arms to tackle tough problems.
The west is bordered by Fenshui and the drainage ring is called Hao. The high platform is built with earth, stone, and wood, and there are four moon cities (small urns) with Linfen city walls; in a sense, it is like a kind of shrinkage in the northern capital of Taiyuan. Editions and variants.
And in the joint camp under the city, the Beishang Hedong attacking army combination that originally belonged to Xu Yi and Meng Juehai has also been quietly replaced as the new partner of Ge Congzhou and Meng Kai; that’s right. Meng Kai, the "Flying Tiger" who was bravely fighting for the first under the account of the great general in the past.
As the third general of the First Army, Xu Yi will return to Puzhou in order to rectify and incorporate the local descendants in Hezhong, and at the same time promote the local cleanup and social transformation of the Pu, Shan, Guo, and Jin prefectures in the rear area. Meng Juehai led several garrison battalions and joined the Chai Ping army who was now ordered to sit in Heyang.
Of course, when Meng Kai took office and appeared in the public eye, he really provokes a lot of attention; as a figure of the old age, it is too obvious and strong on him. However, under the inertia of the operation of the system, most people quickly accepted the reality.
And Meng Kai, as Huang Chao’s number one confidant general in the past, is also the number one person who held the city defense affairs in Chang'an. In a sense, he is also the lord of the Taiping Army and the lord of the new dynasty in the future. Used to show the best example and typical of forgiveness and tolerance.
Because, as a regular envoy of the Cantonese army to Huang Chaoyueling to the north of the army, he was ordered to restrict and suppress the development of the foundation in the tide, and the little-known Taiping army master finally joined the Cantonese Incident. In the middle of the battle, they met and lost.
Therefore, just talk about the grievances that originated from the Lord of the Taiping Army, who in the world can compare to him? However, it was as if God's will trick people. In the later journeys, instead, he continued to entangle with the Taiping Army in secret and got closer and closer, eventually even losing the trust of the Yellow King several times.
Therefore, when Meng Kai slowly recovered from the tedious injury, he also gradually understood the mission he must undertake in the new dynasty; and he could no longer make a dilemma like he did in the past. Continue to escape in disguise on the grounds of injury.
Since the chief governor feels that he is still useful for serving the new dynasty, he has the responsibility and obligation to do a good job for those old tribes who have followed the yellow king to be a good one to be left behind by the new dynasty's lord. An inclusive example. Whether it is a person who has died during the journey or is still alive, he has no right to refuse.
It was like the one who had been out of the house, but was still recruited by the chief governor and continued to serve and serve as a monk, just like Liu Tang, the former transshipment secretary of the Great Qi Pass. It's just that the other party's representatives are those who are attached to the Taiping Governor's system, who belong to the Great Qi.
It's just that he wanted to understand it a little too late, and he didn't expect that the king would give him the responsibility of conquering all the way, even if it was just as a deputy. Therefore, even if he had a thousand words for the coming hand-over brother Meng Juehai, he could only leave one sentence "Take care of everything and do it for yourself".
That night, Li Sizhao, who had fallen asleep shallowly, was awakened by his own soldiers again; because the soldier who was in charge of digging a hole with a big tank in the west of the city, once again reported that he had discovered a vague movement that was suspected of digging.
However, when Li Siyuan personally led a team of soldiers to wait until dawn, there were no more discoveries or other accidents; this also made many of the corresponding methods such as fire attack/smoke, water irrigation and so on that he prepared to go to waste.
However, when they waited until the sky was really clear and the city began to fall asleep and yawned, there was a sudden and extremely dull loud noise and a noticeable vibration that made people somewhat unstable; they were awakened in an instant.
I saw Li Cunxian (Wang Xian) waiting on the inside of the city wall. The tall city wall in front of him was cracked and peeled off quickly in the presence of a certain movement similar to the surging and arching of earth and rock like the earth dragon turning over. Pieces of
After the screaming, tragic, panicked shouts of the defenders above, it seemed as if they had been violently beaten to a certain critical point, and they suddenly crashed toward the inside of most of the collapsed; not only was it submerged and buried close to the city, it was too late. The small part of the waiters who escaped,
The huge smoke and dust that rolled up immediately caught up with Li Cunxian (Wang Xian) who was escaping, and almost drowned and swallowed his body. (End of this chapter)
