Thousands of miles away from Chang'an, in the freezing weather of Caizhou Ruyang City (now Runan City, Henan Province), there is already a roar of killing and fireworks.
It was a night of thin snow, and it was quickly stepped on into thin mud in countless running and coming steps, and then it was quickly frozen in the cold wind; and then it was crushed by the running steps again. , Or being thrown to the ground, the warm corpse and the blood flowing down, washed away and melted temporarily. . .
And under the big flag of the yellow flying bird pattern, I was a military general wearing a leather armor with studded leather armor. He ran into the Cai Zhou soldiers in brown robe and chaotically running on the streets near the city gate. Brandishing a blood-stained nailhead yelled:
"I am Sura, known as the lucky Sura, who dares to stop me..."
However, not long after his words fell, a wave of menacing enemy soldiers suddenly shot out at the entrance of the street, blocking his offensive force and rushing to the spot. Then, on the roof and walls, there are many figures with bows and arrows. A few clappers slamming is a cloud of arrows, which will hide these in the relatively narrow and cramped streets for a while. Du Jibing, and some of the Cai Zhou soldiers who were in the melee were submerged in dense clusters of white arrow feathers.
Although the number of people who were actually killed and killed during this period was less than a hundred people, the tragic situation of piled up in the streets and blood flowing like small ditches in an instant, still greatly affected and weakened the follow-up follow-up. The morale and fighting spirit of the soldiers were immediately pushed back by the surviving soldiers of Caizhou, and more corpses were dropped.
And Zhu Laosan, who was already standing on the north gate of Ruyang City, was also expressionless and intently using a long tube lens, looking at and watching the scenes of wars and battles not far away; smoke and dust everywhere. The billowing place represents the obstacles and encounters encountered by the soldiers and horses that have entered the city on the corresponding passages and streets.
And the nearest place where the fight was in full swing, even his Chinese army banner was only more than a hundred steps away, which is the distance that the wildly fluttering Liuya could reach. Therefore, he has been persuaded and inspected by the generals by his side more than once, and he moved to Wengcheng a little later; but he declined it with a solemn resignation.
Although they were already in the battle outside the city, they broke the Caizhou defender's foreign aid twice by encircling the spot and fighting aid, and then took advantage of the rout to drive away when they fled; they managed to break through the Caizhou army's lair. However, the next battle in Caizhou City Square made all the soldiers and horses, who thought that the enemy's general situation had disappeared and was a little relieved, once again felt what it was like to fight everywhere.
Because this is the home and home of Caizhou Army, almost all of them live in the city. They have a lot of relationship with Qin Zongquan and his troops and horses. They benefit the most in weekdays. They are also the most hard-core supporters and relatives. Therefore, under the protection of the fortune after the city was broken, and the natural fear of retaliation and massacre by outsiders, it can be said that every household took up the guys and participated in the desperate resistance.
The land of Caizhou itself is the heartland of Huaixi, rich in (disaster years) thieves and (prime years) elite soldiers. Almost every household is equipped with swords, bows and drums to "make a living" and self-defense; it is also Caizhou itself. Huaixi's Lisuo and important town, which has a population of tens of thousands of people. Therefore, once the young and strong are mobilized to guard the period, it is easy to form corresponding local advantages and tyrannical resistance in various cities.
Therefore, when Zhu Laosan saw his subordinates volunteering to hold the flag Yuhou Sula, along with the pickers who poured into that half of the street, they were all submerged in the arrow feathers and subsequent recoils shot by the Caizhou soldiers in the ambush. At that time, he still couldn't help but severely squeezed the whip handle in his hand. The broken stubble pierced the palm of his hand and dropped blood drops without noticing it.
"Stay behind and let me..."
At this time, the long sword Dudutou, one of the six capitals of the army’s old battalion, is known as Wang Shizhong, a member of the Yingzhou Changshe "Swords and Combinations." Deng Jijun, a native of Xiayi, Songzhou, named "Zhufenglang"; also held his fists one after another to ask for orders:
"Not yet..."
Zhu Lao San took a deep breath before exhaling these words.
Then his gaze turned to one of the faces of the generals around him secretly. It was Wang Wu who had just returned from the practice under the command of his elder brother in the south. It is also one of the two new parts that he has spent great effort to create and arrange. All Feihuang who specialize in training firearms will also serve as coaches.
You must know that outside of Xunyang City, Jiangzhou, as a retreat and a backstop in a sense, he temporarily decided to send Hu Zhen, Xu Tang, Li Hui, Wang Wu and others to follow his brother Zhu Cun; But most of them have returned to their command after a long or short period of time. Only Wang Wu, a native of Qingzhou from this small school, insisted on completing more than years of training in the workshop, and participated in and experienced several Taiping Army-related wars under Zhu Cun;
Finally, more than half a year ago, I brought my knowledge and experience of the Taiping Army’s tactics, doctrines, and instructions back to Zhu Laosan’s subordinates to listen to; and after returning to the pass, I targeted those other volunteers around Dugui Road. , Has emerged in the follow-up suppression and merger operations. Later, upon request, he became an instructor in the military, and participated in the first-hand editing and training of Feihuang Capital.
Not long ago, it was this firearm, bow and crossbow that rained in front of the battlefield, and Feihuangdu, which was rejected in front of swords and guns, under the full cooperation of another mule, horse, and armored soldiers; relatively relaxed Rejecting the crowd and playing a bit of a break, they successively defeated the supporters from various sources in Caizhou, and rushed into the city of Ruyang in chaos.
Therefore, in a sense, compared to the mountain capital that had been damaged a lot during the time of seizing the gate and holding on, the Feihuang Capital, which was able to defeat the enemy in just a short time, is now the most well-established one under his command. Support the force. But at this moment, Zhu Laosan hesitated.
Does he really want this team to spare no effort and a lot of money to build, and the only firearms division to invest in this Qingcheng war? We must know that although this Feihuangdu only compiled more than 800 people, it formed an array of portable wooden poles in the battlefield, and easily blocked the full offensive of several times the enemy. His own damage is but few.
Moreover, according to Wang Wu’s previous remarks, as long as these soldiers who have been in battle and have seen blood are brought back, a veteran can lead two or three novice coaches to easily expand this firearms division. More than a few times. However, in the eyes of everyone's expectations, Zhu Laosan still sighed heavily:
"Wang (Wu) made his own! Let you fly to the Huangdu and join the remnants of the two camps of Changxing and Shengyong to enter the city to respond and aid in the battle of Xicheng!"
"Really!"
Wang Wu answered without hesitation, then he opened his hand and said:
"Please also stay at Xuwei Department and use all kinds of firearms with all your strength..."
"Quiz. Besides, you still need anything, even if you ask for it at the Chinese military office!"
Mr. Zhu emphasized his head and said:
Following Wang Wu’s leadership, Feihuang Capital, which straddled various firearms under the banner, hurriedly drove into the western battlefield of the city; only then did Zhu Laosan refuse to be bandaged by others and changed hands to hold the long tube mirror, and can’t wait to watch again. The battle in the west of the city came; however, it was discovered that new changes had taken place in this moment of giving orders.
But behind the Cai Zhou soldiers, a dozen survivors who climbed up from the corpses suddenly killed them by surprise. The leader is a man whose whole body is almost stained with blood, but is frozen on his robe armor by the weather, and looks particularly terrible. He is swinging and picking up a long knife to chop up and down two after another. Cai Zhoubing and several strong men who cleaned the scene yelled something loudly:
"I am the lucky Sura. If the Caizhou dog thief didn't kill me, it was about to die..."
The palm Qi Yu Hou Sula who had escaped from the dead screamed so frantically, chasing down the strong men of the city, but the archers on the wall could not even shoot him inside and outside. It also forced the Cai Zhou soldiers who had regrouped to guard at the junction of the street, and had to separate their hands and come back to surround them.
Seeing that Sula and others were once again surrounded into a ball, and compared to the resistance, they were hacked to the ground. At this time, at the other end of the street, with the group card reappearing, the army lineup was re-approaching, but unexpectedly, many smoky fire pots were thrown from behind them. And those archers who squatted and watched on the wall suddenly fell down amidst screams and exclamations. . . . . . . . . . . .
And after this small-scale new force entered the battlefield in the city, it seemed to have become the last straw to break and shake the situation in the city, and it didn’t take long for Zhu Lao San to bring a series of chain-reaction successes. Frequent.
"Report, Feihuang Capital and the people in it have already cleared the siege to the west and attacked outside the sub-city..."
"Report, Feihuang has killed General Caizhou Zhang Ye at the west gate of the sub-city..."
"Report, all the mountains broke the East Gate Tower and captured the enemy Ruyang soldier Qin Xian..."
"Report, someone in the sub-city opened the door and fled southward. The mule and horse team, which is suspected of being the family members of the Qin clan, are chasing clouds and chasing them around the city with all their strength..."
It wasn't until this moment that Zhu Lao San breathed a sigh of relief, stretched out the palm of his blood clot, and let it be wrapped up. Since the family of the Qin family has begun to flee, it also means that the overall situation of the city of Caizhou and Ruyang city, which was once an important town in Huaixi, has been initially determined, and the vast territory of Caizhou is left to continue to sweep and consolidate the results. Meet the follow-up matters of Qin Zongquan's return to the teacher.
In other places, the chain reaction brought about by the sinking of Caizhou, the lair of a powerful force, is still continuing to stir and reverberate. (End of this chapter)
