Standing in the snow, Zhu Laosan, whose hair and beard were all stained with plain white, looked motionlessly under the gloomy and gloomy sky, only a little bit of light and flickering, as if it were going to disappear in the next moment, and he seemed lifeless That city gate.
And in the lonely four wilds, apart from the puffs of falling snow brought by the sudden blizzard and the faint sound of pressing branches, as well as the squeaking sound of the broken ice surface being re-frozen. , There was no other movement.
More Dongdu soldiers like Zhu Laosan stood together in the snow, covered in snow covered with snow and only their eyes, nose and mouth were still moving, like a seat of silent and solemn living bodies. The sculpture is a bloated snowman.
It wasn't until more flames gradually rose above the city, and there were more and more obvious noises of fighting, and soon it became the sound of the city gate opening from the inside out. Under the guidance of the number of flaming lights that couldn't wait to gush out of the darkened doorway, one after another snowmen woke up, and they turned into armoured soldiers rushing forward one after another.
This is the result of Zhu Lao San driving constant attacks all day long, while besieging the city, and at the same time negotiating with the secret road in the city. After working hard for more than half a month, he was rewarded at the moment when the city gate was opened. But his face was still tight, like the harshest older glacier.
It was because the incidents in the rear sounded the alarm for him. Although he had already broken his wrist and killed the opposition and related implicated persons who refused to submit to the Taiping Army on the face of it, how many of his own subordinates are still latent. Those who have three hearts and two minds, or those who violate the yang and the yin, and forbear it for the time being, are hard to say.
After all, even Li Zhen, who he relied on as a confidant in the past, would inevitably interfere with some old brothers in the conspiracy against him. Then, besides the individual people who have not shown abnormalities, there are people around him. How many people still want to continue to trust
Therefore, this also interrupted his long-term insistence and plan to continue the siege, and he decided to take a risk if he could not change his course halfway. Because this prolonged the time, it will only make him lose more color in the Taiping Governor's Mansion, and the lower the value and fineness displayed by his subordinates, the less things he can gain in the future.
For this reason, he recruited the toughest veterans from his elite teams such as Bashandu, Longjiandu, and Tabaidu, to form this time's selection and first advancement order. Then, out of a certain metaphysical probability, he brought in the Dongdu coach Sura, who had been able to turn bad luck in desperate situations, led a group of grenadiers to join the rear team.
Therefore, these first-mover talents of more than a thousand picks are undoubtedly some kind of touchstone and bet; although even if all the losses are in Xiaqiu City, it will not cause the Eastern Capital Army to be injured as a whole; but this also means that the East The Du Jun lost the ability to control the next situation, and could only wait until the spring to make plans.
Fortunately, he saw with his own eyes that all the first-ranking soldiers had poured into the Simon, and they became part of the intensified fighting and the spreading flames; then, more sergeants were waiting along the line of the camp. In the horrified sight of the defenders who had been completely alarmed on the wall, one after another rushed towards this breakthrough.
However, at this time, the coach of Dongdu and the envoy of Heyang Nanguan Sura, who had already penetrated into the city, had encountered new troubles. Because, just after they rushed into the tunnel of the city gate and smashed through the remnant enemies left in Xiao Weng City, they found that the Bai Tiao Army, the soil group that was originally an internal response, had been rushed to strengthen the defense within a short period of time. The army was broken up.
Therefore, the first selected frontman rushed several times in a row, but was blocked by the thick wooden fence that was presumed to be cast outside the inner gate of Wengcheng, and then shot down the narrow exit in a crowd of bows and crossbows. On the spot, he died one after another in the short tunnel, and in a blink of an eye the corpse was half his height.
At this time, as the leader of the first attack, the ranger-born picks are Ma Sixun, but they are soldiers with a group of martial artists, and quickly take off the burden of the armor and only have a single shirt, shirtless. The lightly loaded brackets were stacked on top of each other, and one after another they climbed onto the edge of the urn city wall that was covered with ice and was somewhat slippery.
Although the remaining defenders soon noticed that scattered arrows came, and the dozen or so pillars stacked against the wall were destroyed by the screams and grunts; but there were still some more. The soldiers succeeded in climbing these pillars to the top of the wall, and then in the face-to-face fighting with the enemy, blood spattered and fell again and overturned.
Then, the familiar roar outside the city also rang, but the artillery team outside the West Gate camp also began to radiate. Although the vision is blurred and the light is dim, the actual quasi-head can no longer be said to be lethal. ; But it also somewhat restrained and distracted the attention of the gate tower defenders, and made the flying arrows sparse obviously.
At this time, more rear teams rushing into Wengcheng also brought equipment for siege operations; it was a wooden raft with iron hoops that could be carried by sick wine; these soldiers leaned on Wengcheng’s After working three times under the wall, the simple long ladders similar to the centipede knots were quickly assembled, and they were hooked up on the upper crevices.
And the fully clothed Ma Sixun was able to take the lead and lead people to climb these centipede-like long ladders. After a few breaths, he rushed to the wall without stopping, and with many broken limbs. Flew up and disappeared into the increasingly fierce fighting on the wall.
However, Sura, who had been unable to advance for a long time, was also anxious. I saw him rushing into the gunmen who were shooting at each other amidst the roaring sound of guns getting closer and closer, grabbing a number of explosive bombs in a row, wrapped in a cloak, and after being ignited, he did not hesitate to eat both sides. The platoon of soldiers rushed into the doorway where the corpses were piled under cover.
In the midst of the violent shock and retreat of the arrows, the two short arrows that leaked through the gap were hitting the chest, and at the same time they wrapped the hands into a ball of explosive bombs, with a little spark and exhausted their maximum strength. After throwing it out, he fell heavily on top of the pile of corpses in exclamation.
As if it had become an extraordinarily long moment, a series of violent noises exploded rapidly at the doorway inside the city, and the rain of blood and rotten meat spewed out like a spring, suddenly For the selected frontmen in the tunnel, they poured their heads and faces so that they could not see that only a piece of blood was left, and the wooden fence blocking the exit also collapsed by a corner.
Seeing this scene, the remaining selected frontmen also seemed to have received some kind of encouragement and inspiration. The next moment they gathered the explosive bombs, and under the cover of the large platoon, they rushed to the exit without fear of death or injury. Throwing a single explosive bomb, in just a short period of time, it will have been impacted by loud violent blasts and air waves, dispersing and breaking through.
However, just as these Eastern Capital Army-selected frontmen rushed out of the inner city gate, and not long after their vision became brighter again, they rushed to the city square again, and a group of them was wearing armor and covering their faces. The Taining Army, which is like an iron man in action, armed with a large sword and long axe array like a forest, almost turned the opponents who rushed forward in a single face into shattered pieces.
However, in response, the remaining Dongdu Xuan Fengmen did not hesitate to throw everything that could be found in their hands at them; naturally, they also included multiple explosive bombs and fires that were ignited. Oil bomb. The burst of smoke and the bursting and flowing firelight in an instant made their array incomplete.
After that, Ma Sixun, the selected striker who reappeared after gaining an advantage from the top of the city, also led the people to shoot down like a rain of arrows. Therefore, this round of heavy armored sword and axe counterattack from the city's supervising wars and the auspicious soldiers, it was like a flashback, and it quickly fell apart and disappeared.
With the roar of fierce firearms spreading rapidly within Xiaqiu City Fang, Yanzhou Xiaqiu City, which had gone through hundreds of years of separatism and had not been forcibly broken by foreign enemies, declared its fall.
And when the body was like Sura fished out of the blood, and when someone found it out of the corpse, there was still aura and spirit, and as the breastplate round shield was cut off by the close shot. Two arrow shafts, and screamed like a pig on the spot.
At the same time, the east gate at the other end of the city was also opened, and a whole team of cavalry draped and armed to the teeth broke through. go with.
Therefore, when the leading Eastern Capital Army rushed into the inner city and Yacheng without hindrance, all they saw were the old and weak women and children and the family members of Ji concubines who were locked in various palaces. Many fires have already been ignited in the warehouse, warehouse, under the corridors of the office, and in the eaves.
As for the two brothers of Lu Wang Zhu Jin and Julu Wang Zhu Xuan, as well as a bunch of confidants, they are all gone. Obviously, he took the cover of the wind and snow and rushed away from the east gate.
In the end, when the wind and snow ceased again, the sound of fighting in the city also slowly subsided and silenced. Only a messy street was left, the remnants of the Taining Army who had fled into the homes and were searched out, as well as the soldiers of the surrendered "Turbine White Tiao Army", dejectedly escorted by a string of escorts.
However, just after the fire was over, he was still in the smoky Xiaoqiuya city; the former Caizhou army general who was also pressed down on the snow with a disheveled hair, and today's Tujun Baitiao army commanded Sun Ru, and also tried his best to stand on the steps. Zhu Lao San hissed and shouted:
"You can't kill me, the Taiping Army. The Taiping Army has always done what it says. It has been said that it will let the next life in our army. It is safe to say but not believe it..." (End of this chapter)
