Following the Yingxian Gate, Danfeng Gate, etc., facing the front line of the officers and soldiers, the people who lost their guards and the dragons without a leader were panicked, and they were attacked one by one by the officers and soldiers who were aware and prepared. The Bei Nei Daming Palace, which was shielded by the tall palace wall, has become a new round of tragic hell on earth.
It is just like the long-standing backlog of resentment and violence, as well as the dissatisfaction that has not been plundered and captured enough loot after entering Chang'an City, is suddenly completely vented here. All of a sudden, there were mirror images of the Shura Field where corpses ran across the wild and blood flowed into rivers. Several imperial ditches and open channels that flowed down from Longshou Mountain from the north and beyond were all stained with a thick bright red color.
Almost every moment there are people, regardless of age, they are caught from various hiding corners and then slapped, or chopped into pieces at one go; or drove in groups to high towers and pavilions, and pierced one by one with swords and guns. After hurting his hands and feet, he drove down and fell to death or was injured; or in a deliberately indulgent chasing and fleeing, he was slashed and wounded all over his body, and then drowned in the ditch. . .
As for the captive leaders of the thief army, the pattern of execution was even more tragic and cruel. Some people were nailed to the ground with their hands and feet, and then galloped back and forth with cavalry until the whole person was broken and unrecognizable; or It is hanging from a high place with a heart and abdomen; or it is put alive on a wooden stake from top to bottom, and it is scalded to death by pouring boiling water from the funnel into the throat from the inside. . . .
However, compared to those who have died or are dying, the pain and torture of being a woman is undoubtedly much longer. Everywhere you can see unclothed women, being dragged into the corner over and over again and staggering out, or thrown into the broad daylight crowd, until they are dying like corpses or stop shaking. , And some people still don't let it go.
However, for this scene, whether it is the Northwest Xingtai headed by Zheng Tian or the recruiting and discussing camp with the Guiyi Army as the core, they all seem to lose their voices and turn a blind eye at this moment. After all, for most upper-level figures, it is the most important preparation for the soldiers gathered in the city to get enough catharsis and satisfaction in turns to face the Taiping Thieves.
And even the most compassionate and compassionate generals in the Western Army’s tents have also received warnings from their fathers and brothers; those subordinate people who can stay in the north are undoubtedly following The thief is the most determined diehard; it is like the silver knife party that has been in trouble in Xuzhou and other places for many years after the Pang Xun rebellion is settled.
However, being able to use these last moments of checkmates from the thieves to create more fun for the officers and soldiers and to smooth the grievances of rewards and insufficient supply is undoubtedly a kind of atonement for them to do evil and disturb the world throughout their lives. And reward, is it not a kind of blessing in disguised form after going down to the underworld? Therefore, even Zheng Xianggong would not say much.
And without looking up and without squinting, he walked across the yellowstone between the halls. Next to his ears, he seemed to recall the shouts of the Huang clan members who were captured by the officers and soldiers or identified by him:
"Brother Huangshi, we are done..."
"Brother Huangshi, you have to witness for me..."
"Brother Huangshi, where are you going..."
"Brother Huangshi, tell me one or two..."
"Brother Huangshi, why can't we save what we said before?"
"Brother Huangshi, don't want to abandon me..."
"God thief, we were all deceived!"
However, thinking of this, Huang Shi unconsciously pulled out a sneer at the corner of his mouth. After all, as the representative of the court’s surrender, he is enough; these remnants can be used for a while, how can there be a chance to stay, so as to create more competitors for themselves? What's more, if he does not act resolutely and decisively, how can he continue to gain trust and use it in the military
He thought about it in this way, and in a blink of an eye he was in front of the towering Mingtang, and then stood withered and waited for more than an hour before he received the pass.
"I heard that the name of your'gongbao' was taken by Huang Ni? The meaning of keeping the palace guardian?"
Zheng Tian, who was sitting behind the copywriter, asked instead without raising his head:
"Looking at the old man to laugh, it was just an act of vain and coercion when he had no choice but to succumb to the thieves... It should be uncountable, uncountable..."
However, Huangshi inevitably responded with sweating profusely:
"Oh?"
Zheng Tian was still immersed in the case, but he gave an unexplained grunt, but it was like a thunder in Huangshi's heart. Then, as if Fuzhi's soul hurriedly bent over and said:
"Now that the villain has returned to the court, he has been abandoning him and took another word, so that he can see and listen to it. I also ask the old man for permission..."
"Also,"
This is, when Zheng Tian raised his head slightly on the public case, he put out a note.
"Shi Shaogao, Wang Zuo, can say: Shao Zuohu?"
"Thank you Tang Lao for giving the word, the villain will definitely change his mind and will not hesitate to break his bones and work hard to do the king's affairs..."
Huang Shi couldn't help kneeling to the ground and bowed his head and thanked him again and again:
"Why do you think so much about the betrayers of this era? Not only did they give the word, they also ordered the reorganization of the army from the thieves..."
The screen fan behind Zheng Tian immediately came out, but his eldest son Zheng Ningji couldn't help but ask.
"It's just the most basic way to weigh... Huang Ni is broken, and the war with the Taiping thief is coming; the foreign troops and tribes under the tent are still powerful. If they can't be restrained, it will be more difficult to control the future. ..."
Zheng Tian pressed his forehead a little tiredly and said:
"At least for a short period of time, it is difficult to merge with the generals of the Western army with this background, and I have to rely more on the platform; with such a model that can be used by people, it can also urge the generals of the western army. Work harder with a little diligence"
"By the way, hasn't Huang Ni's whereabouts been found yet?"
Then, Zheng Tian spoke again: Although the remnants of Bei Nei have been wiped out, the whereabouts of the missing Huang Chao is obviously a thorn in the hearts of most people. And Zheng Tian can only send his son to take care of this matter
"Returning to your lord, there are already clues and stories in the follow-up torture with the thieves..."
Zheng Ningji hurriedly said in a low voice:
"It is said that after the king's invasion of the northern inner part, someone saw a small group of people rushing out of the Zizhong Xuanmen. In addition, near the right Yintai gate on the east wall of the palace, they seized several plates of the long cable down from the city. People went to pursue it, and sent instructions to the Ganzhou Uighurs and Wen Mo tribes in Beiyuan to find a place..."
"Never mind..."
When Zheng Tian heard this, he squeezed his eyebrows again and said: Given the current situation of Huang Ni among the population, even if he flees, he can't live long, but it is still a hidden worry after all that he will not see a person or a dead body.
However, soon outside the door remembered the rapid shout again:
"Report...The Taiping thief from the south of the city has attacked and killed along Suzaku Street, and the Xianggong will send troops..."
At this moment, without anyone deliberately reporting, Zheng Tian and his son could also hear the faint roar that resembled a rolling thunder.
And on Zhuque Street, which runs through the north-south axis of Chang'an, was once again flooded with fireworks, gunfire roars, and shouting to kill the sky.
"Quick, quick, go all out!"
"Don't begrudge the ammunition, you must make the most of it,"
Luo Nian of the Cheying Sub-group also stood on the side of the slowly advancing artillery cart and shouted: I thought that the North Inner side had persisted for so long, and he could still deal with each other in Chang'an City for a period of time. How come it collapsed overnight. So this made the Taiping Army, which originally planned to accumulate more strength, a little passive.
In the battlefield ahead of him, waves of Taiping sergeants are also advancing in full swing.
Under the guidance and instructions from the front-end benchmarking, the intensive roaring attacking artillery fired from the rear, constantly bombarding the barricades set up by the officers and soldiers in a hurry; the various obstacles and the officers and soldiers from the rear were blasted with blood. The gap is coming, or it is the fragments and limbs that blow up the city and splash all over the sky.
However, as the forerunner, the licensed white soldiers rushed forward to cover the combat engineers holding swords and axes, just like a practice that has been practiced and combated countless times. They are occupied, cleaned and flattened on the spot. Obstacles on the street; and in a very short period of time, it created a passage for large groups of people to pass through.
Then accompanied by the beats of drums and flute, a team of shooting teams holding long and short firecrackers passed through the formation almost without interruption, and faced those in the distance that were constantly gushing and slaughtering from the surrounding towns. The officers and soldiers who came did not hesitate to walk in one section slowly, and alternately shot one section back and forth; they knocked down the enemy forces dozens of steps away and shot them to the ground.
And the new runner guns mixed in batches, in this relatively narrow and dense enemy city street battle, began to exert unexpected power and lethal effect. When those who endure the casualties of long-range firing, and the sparse enemy force that seems to be filtered by a sieve, rushed to within twenty or thirty steps, they began to turn to these new firearms with a closer range but a faster rate of fire. Got angry.
As one by one was rapidly radiating, they were thrown onto the bloody and muddy ground one after another, and then stirred up bursts of smoke. The officers and soldiers swarmed forward as if they were photographing on the rugged reef. The shattered waves are just like the ones that can only be found in the long street where there is nowhere to hide or retreat, one after another, one after another; finally it turns into a low tide of collapse, leaving only the overlapping corpses. And the wounded struggling in a pool of blood.
Then, counterattacks from the official army bow and crossbow array also followed behind the new long street array; and at this time, the white soldiers armed with light shields and arc-shaped long cards also rushed forward in succession. The formation of an irregular cover formation.
After the white soldiers blocked and filtered most of the arrows, the artillery from the rear strike force counterattacked, and guided by the semaphore held high and passed in the air, burst out many dim smoke trails and hot iron balls. , The bombardment crisscrossed inside and outside the marked barricades;
In an instant, amidst the clear and audible screams and wailing, the second round of counterattacks from the official army behind the barricade had not had time to take shape, and it had already been bombarded and bounced out on the street with many pitted flesh and blood and stumps. In the broken body, it turned into many figures scrambling to flee in a rush.
As for those on the street who pop up from time to time, hiding between buildings or houses of various colors, and continue to shoot arrows in groups of remnants who think that they will be stubbornly resisting; it is the turn of the fire-throwing team that is mixed in the array of shooting teams. The hand, under the cover of the firecrackers and the players, moves forward one after another, bombarding bombs or kerosene bombs, and turning them into air waves and blood mist that burst out from the door, or It was the burning human body that screamed and fled again.
Wherever these Taiping Army regiments passed, they dragged vehicles and loaded auxiliary pawns and armed civilian men who refused to block horses and blocked them. They did not hesitate to take those who had once been out of the official army at the intersections of the streets and lanes. , Using various on-site obstacles and preset bunkers, block by piece piece by piece, thus constructing a temporary horizontal line of defense distributed along Zhuque Avenue.
Therefore, under the hasty battle, the Western army, who was not good at street fighting, was the main city's officers and army, and they almost retreated one-sidedly in the battle on Suzaku Street. . (End of this chapter)
