"Soldiers, why do you want to kill this generation, isn't there something that can be forgiving, so as to keep it for use?"
And beside Hu Zhen, there was also a local general from Henan, Liu Wei, the son of the county magistrate of Anqiu (now Anqiu City, Shandong Province), watching the scene of corpses all over the country, with a slight expression on his face and persuaded:
"These Caizhou thieves are one of the four major sufferings of Henan's long-standing tribulations, and they are even more deeply rooted in Huaixi. If you can't slaughter them for a wave of afflictions for ten years, do you still have the Chinese New Year? Nothing?"
Hu Zhen said in awe without hesitation:
"Caizhou thief deserve to die, even more damned for the townspeople relatives who have done evil by the thief. It is a delightful move for the rest of the time to spend time in the court and sweep the acupuncture points..."
Next to another former officer in Henan, who worked in Henan, Liu Han, a native of Bianzhou, also nodded in approval.
"It's the reason."
Hu Zhen continued to speak:
"After staying, I also specifically confessed that the Caizhou soldiers who were coerced into chaos and evildoing may be forgiven and redeemed; but these Qin clan's foundation of the wealthy surnames, clan parties, surnames, and subordinate officials, can never stay. of.."
Of course, in addition to win over and give favor to the people in Henan who have suffered from Huaixi thieves. He actually had another speculation and thought about the resolute killing of the adult who stayed behind, but he couldn't be clear about these newcomers.
After all, only a few vaguely knew that in order to gain the trust and assistance from the south, Zhu Liushou sent his wife, children, and mother under the name of visiting his elder brother, and sent them to the Taiping Army to guarantee their quality.
In addition, he also recruited the stranded scholars and scholars in Dugui Road, and at the same time secretly introduced books and teaching materials from the South, which has a great intention of establishing culture and education to cultivate talents; he has a faint plan to gradually reduce and eliminate them, Du Ji Under the rule of the Liusi, the ratio of the old officials and the Tuhu family background was considered a way to check and balance accordingly.
Because even the illiterate people like Hu Zhen, after reading through or listening to the books from the south, they know to some extent how these five surnames and seven hopes, headed by the northern family, are secretly concocting public opinion and opinions. Holding local authority, and even resisting all new emerging forces from the outside world, and all kinds of tricks to make people disgusting.
Naturally, it won't fall into the trap so easily, let alone give enough trust and blind reliance.
—I am the dividing line —
When the field of vision returned to Yangzhou from the Central Plains, there was chaos in the sub-city of Guanglingbei.
"What, Tian Wei, Lu Shizhou and others, led troops from the North Main Gate and North Point Gate to attack out of the city together!"
Yang Xingmin also stomped his feet with rare excitement:
"Damn it, this generation will dare to ruin me!"
"My lord, what should I do!"
The military academy responsible for reporting the letter couldn't help but become more and more alarmed:
"Hurry up and gather Zhu Yanshou and other ministries. Then don't care about the others. I will immediately call up the people to go out of the city to support and respond. Never let them fight alone and fight the thieves..."
Yang Xingmin quickly calmed down and said flatly:
However, in the next moment, as if to confirm his words, another person who ran Bianlian rushed over and shouted:
"Shijun, Zhu (Yanshou) knows that the people with Zhao Cishi have been killed one after another from the east gate!"
"Asshole, how can you do your own thing, is there a big picture in your eyes?"
At this moment, although Yang Xingmin was violently cursing in his mouth, he felt the deep chill of the rebellion and rejection of others in a certain sense. You must know that Zhu Yanshou was the first old brother he accompanied him, and later he became his wife and brother and the most powerful right-hand man;
At least compared to those local regiments and old officers and soldiers that were originally to take advantage of the situation to gather together with their own minds, and did not expect much in terms of loyalty and reliability; it can be called a relationship of honor and disgrace. Especially after Li Shenfu fell to an adversary, he was the second person in the army to do his part.
"Follow the left and right sides and where are the Yaqian army, stop counting and tidy up immediately..."
However, the next moment, the continuous roars and screams from outside the city gate, as well as the desperately ringing golden plates and bronze gongs, completely concealed Yang Xingmin’s subsequent words and other voices, and made his left and right uncontrollable. Amazed.
And standing on the upper part of Shugang, which is slightly higher on the ground, you can see it completely; on the Taiping army positions that have just begun to take shape outside the south gate of the inner wall of the sub-city, the smoke bursts out many thin trajectories, and the next moment On the inner wall of the wall and the south gate, there were broken bricks and soil, scattered limbs, and blood.
At the same time of this rush of shelling, many of the soldiers who had assembled in front of the battlefield no longer cared about the numbers and the sequence of the batch attacks that had not been safely arranged; instead, what kind of letters were used to grab them. His hand, horizontal knives, short blunderbuss, grenades and other things all trot forward abruptly amidst the whistle that hurriedly promoted the attack.
After just a short trot, they have already completed the basic acceleration and warm-up, and facing the sporadic arrows and bids that are still beginning to radiate on the opposite city, they quickly dashed across the short distance of 100 steps without hesitation. , With only sporadic casualties and other costs, they rushed under the wall one after another, and another swarm of people swarmed into the doorway.
At this time, on the messy city that was struck by the artillery fire, more voices and figures gathered again like a awakening from a dream, and then large stones and rolling logs were hurriedly transported and lifted to the city. On the edge of the battlefield; and at this time, some of the light guns, which were loaded faster in the south of the city, were already exploding.
This time, it was no longer heavy and clumsy balls, but dozens of egg-sized iron balls wrapped in silk and matted on a wooden support. In an instant, it swept across them like a fan-shaped gust of wind. It's still on the wall dish everywhere. He knocked down the rolling stone logs that had just been lifted over the wall, together with the figure fragments and blood splashing behind his back.
Therefore, only a few projectiles were able to fly out of the outer edge of the city wall during this period. However, at this time, the portable long ladders, climbing poles, and hooks were already sent up by the subsequent shock batches, and they were attached to the outer edge of the city wall one after another. And the Taiping soldiers in the shallow tunnel under the city gate still chiseled out several fist-sized alignment holes with their swords and axes.
The gunmen who came down from the root of the wall also began to spontaneously radiate upwards towards the wall. Although they were able to hit very few, they tried their best to harass, contain, and distract the enemy from defending the city. Go all out to correspond to the simple siege equipment that comes up. Then the artillery group that fell silent with the investment of the siege equipment began to move forward one after another.
And among the soldiers rushing all over the floor. Because he was in charge of transporting equipment and building materials for building positions, he accidentally hit the assistant pawn and was entrapped into this round of temporary offensive. He was also holding up a climbing pole. The moment the pole hit the heel of the city wall, he suddenly jumped and his feet landed on the root of the wall.
The next moment, under the inertial action of the several assistants in the rear pushing upwards and rushing forward, they almost kept stepping on the inclined wall, as if they were flying out of thin air with the front end of the climbing rod. The one who came ran up to the top of the city wall; flashed by the flying arrow and the falling stone, suddenly stepped on the face of an enemy soldier who was penetrating his head, and then rolled inward into a ball. .
The next moment, the faint-hearted brother Shudiqi just wanted to get up, but he was severely cut on the back with a slash; he was crushed to the next servant; but he did not feel much pain and even helped. Rolling aside, Xinshou grabbed a piece of broken brick and slashed towards the guard who was chasing fiercely.
The next moment was a conditioned reflex, sweeping his leg on the opponent’s ankle without hesitation, and suddenly fell down with his hands and feet in a loss, the sound dull and hit the side wall dish; although it was protected by a helmet, it also hit The next moment, he was slammed into his throat by his brother Shudiqi's fork fist, and he sagged straight into it and suddenly broke his breath.
Between the lightning and flint, Ge Shudiqi snatched the opponent's thick-backed hand knife, but before he got up, he threw on the scratching hook that was hit by the oncoming gouge, and slashed the knuckles of the opponent's boots with force. As soon as it dragged past, this was abolished again, the enemy who could only scream and scream on the ground. Once again greeted with a new defensive enemy.
When Ge Shudiqi, leaning on the incomplete battlement with his back, loosened the hand knife that was broken and pierced into the fourth enemy soldier again, he felt that his strength was almost exhausted and his back was itchy and painful. A large swath was soaked. In the next moment, he finally turned around the wide-mouthed blunderbuss slung behind him, but he touched the empty space, only to touch the wound on his back, stained with a dark red of blood.
Only then did Ge Shudiqi realize that the firearm he thought he was good at had been cut off or dropped, but it was also blocked by this firearm, and the injury to his back was long but not deep. ; And still maintain the follow-up counterattack action force. However, the loss of consciousness and strength at this moment caused a spear to pierce his armpit and nail it to the battlement through a little flesh and armor.
"This is the end"
In the pain of tearing the skin and flesh, the weak and unable to move and dodge the brother Shutic could not help but sigh secretly, only hating that he could not see the birth of that child, but at least it left them with enough evidence. I hope that these Taiping army members can keep their promises.
The next moment, the enemy soldier who abandoned his spear and drew a knife before slashing, exploded a group of blood and beetle leaf fragments in his chest, and fell on his back with a sad voice. Then an arm came out from behind him and grabbed the spear, and saw that his brother Shutic, who was holding his wound, made a bloody slumping to the ground, but his wilting spirit became energetic in the pain.
"Brother can still move?"
A somewhat familiar Guan Nei accent said to him: But it was Wang Hongfan, a big man from the former Shence Zuo Daying Tun Sergeant who had had several connections. I saw that the tall and sturdy man was holding a rolled up flag gun with one hand, and flicking hard to get those defending enemies who wanted to get together, turning around and not getting close for a while. .
Then, he took time out with his other hand and made a short shot again, head-to-head and face-to-face defeated one of the military academies who was wearing a pocket, and immediately disrupted and broke the total force of these defenders, and fought to get into the left and block the right. With great courage, he further smashed and drove him away, creating a gap in this section of the city again.
And the brother Shutic, who escaped from the dead, was also in this short interval and space. With the slow and severe pain, he recovered some strength; but he picked up the short gun and the medicine bag that was thrown on the ground by Wang Hongfanxin. After gritting his teeth and supporting his arm to complete the difficult loading, he aimed at the back of Wang Hongfan who was struggling to fight forward. . .
The next moment he lifted his hand up to buckle it down with all his strength. The firework he touched almost swept across the edge of Wang Hongfan's helmet, standing in the center on the corner of the wall disc, a defender's arm was shooting. The missed shot hit another defender diagonally below, but he couldn't help but leaned to the side and then screamed and fell down.
And the elder Shutic, who had completed this accidental double kill, leaned back on the battlement as if exhausted all his energy, but by this time he no longer had to worry about his life. Because more peace soldiers wearing hard-soled suede boots and high-top rubber surfaces have already poured into the city wall along the gap where he is.
Afterwards, Wang Hongfan, who was free, was able to climb the wall behind the inner city, and easily blocked the Star Dou Qi representing the Shou Hao Army, and raised the Taiping Qing Qi with the Kunpeng pattern in the sky. The next moment, because of excessive blood loss, the cold forehead Shutic slowly lost his mind, only to feel that he was dragged away at the last moment.
"Catch Yang Xingyun alive, and have a big fat year!"
"Win the Huainan Festival Office, everyone has a good New Year!"
In the next moment, these Taiping soldiers rushing to the top of the city were already chasing the demise of the defenders, rushing down the towering and lonely inner city wall with layers of blood and ice and snow left behind; At the foot of the mountain, those government offices, archways, and streets, chasing after the ruined enemy, rushed up the long stairs along the edge of Shugang.
They only saw that they exhausted their strength and courage, and broke away from the stagnant soldiers one by one and cut them down on the class, and then pushed the corpse away; or captured the fish that slipped through the net on their knees and begged for mercy, Drive them to the slope beside the stairs and accept follow-up containment on their own in order to clear enough passageways for passage.
However, as the gates of the inner city opened one after another, more soldiers from the Taiping Army who were influx during the influx also seemed to be swept across the blue and gray rapids of the lowland at the foot of Shugang, surrounding and clustering the huge Shugang together At the upper end of the hill, the city of Yacheng Zhanggao Likuan and its interior Huaiyang Metropolitan Du Mansion (Huainan Festival Hall) surrounded Tuantuan.
At this time, the first wave of Taiping sergeants who attacked along the stairs was already disturbed and rushed to the first gate between the bell tower and the drum tower amidst the sound of the hilltop screaming. In the next moment, this Atsugi, painted black with dark lacquer, suddenly opened from the inside out. (End of this chapter)
