Chapter 163 The Destruction of Shaowu Regime VII

Ruffians are ruffians.

If you catch a duck and get on the shelf, you can still fight with the regular army twice. But in a real fight, it is normal for you to be unable to hold on.

Even though Wang Chengye immediately killed several of them to shock the entire army, it was of no avail.

From rushing over, to fighting, and then to retreating, it only took a while.

Wang Chengye took his troops and returned to where they came from.

However, Wang Chengye achieved his goal, which was to rescue Ma Sanbao.

Ma Sanbao saw Wang Chengye and said, "Brother Wang, there is no need to say anything else. From now on, you will be my life and death brother." As he spoke, he patted Wang Chengye hard on the shoulder.

In the fight just now, Wang Chengye was stabbed on the shoulder and was slapped by Ma Sanbao. Needless to say, he felt sour and happy. It seems that as a man near the Yangtze River, he is not used to such crude and wild expressions in the Northwest.

The way of feeling.

He moved his shoulders slightly and said, "It's not advisable to stay here for a long time. It's better to leave quickly."

"Okay," Ma Sanbao said. He raised his head and looked at the sun, and thought to himself: "It's time for the general to enter the city."

At this time, Su Guansheng also came here, and all the Ming troops obeyed his orders.

But Su Guansheng also knew the situation in Guangzhou.

Guangzhou City is almost an empty city, but there are some government officials and civilians, and one or two thousand people guarding Shaowu. Other than that, they are all under Zhaoqing City.

It has to be said that no matter how much price Zhang Xuan paid, he did achieve great speed. It took less than ten days to get from Chenzhou to Guangzhou.

Before Ma Sanbao captured the city gate, Shaowu heard only the wind.

After listening to the report from the people below, Su Guansheng immediately understood one thing, that is, if he did not recapture the North City Gate quickly and waited for the Xia army to enter the city in large numbers, some soldiers in the city would not be able to resist it.

If Guangzhou falls, great things will happen.

Su Guansheng immediately urged his soldiers and chased Wang Chengye and others to storm the north gate.

They chased them all the way. When they returned to the north gate, there were only about a hundred people left.

These more than a hundred people are die-hard loyalists to Wang Chengye. If they were not loyal enough to Wang Chengye, they would have escaped secretly long ago. After all, this is not a battle in the wilderness, but on the streets of Guangzhou. They can only find a small alley or turn around.

Even if you cross a wall and hide, the officers and soldiers will not chase after one or two people.

But at this moment, the North Gate showed no intention of responding. The North Gate was opened. The city gate was filled with soldiers. A large group of people rushed out from the city gate opening.

Everyone was covered in sweat and their clothes were soaked through.

Although it is already autumn, the weather in Guangdong does not matter. At this time, the weather in Guangdong is almost the same as that in midsummer elsewhere. The army came from Qingyuan in one breath.

I only rested for two or three hours, and I rested separately.

Along the way, they ate solid food and drank cold water. They ran for an hour or two and practiced for a while, then continued forward, day and night. They marched up and down a hundred and fifty miles day and night. And they were all infantry.

It can be said that if it were not Zhang Xuan's own troops, but Zhang Xuan's ace direct descendants, other armies would have fought so hard for Zhang Xuan without mutiny, and there would be no fighting capacity.

This is one of the reasons why Zhang Xuan insisted that Deng He and Xu Du switch horses.

When Qi Jiguang was there, the Qi Jiajun was marching, and there was such a record. But whether the Qi Jiajun could do it, or whether the Jinhua Army could do it, Zhang Xuan didn't know.

However, Zhang Xuan believes that his Runing Army can do it.

Linying Camp, which was at the forefront, directly encountered the enemy as soon as they entered the city before they could take a breather.

At this time, Linyingying's physical strength was almost low. I dare not say that he didn't even have the strength to swing his sword. But he definitely couldn't sustain the battle for a long time.

There are still differences between ancient times and modern times. After modern rifles dominated the battlefield, soldiers' physical strength was more important than marching. In real battles, all they had to do was pull the trigger immediately.

But in this era, we still have to fight with swords and guns.

In fact, such an extreme march is not very beneficial to combat. It is not unreasonable to say that those who march hundreds of miles a day will defeat the general.

When all the strength of the army is focused on marching, there is no strength left to fight. Without the strength to fight, it is impossible to win.

However, Linying Camp was Linying Camp after all and had rich experience. Even though it was a hasty takeover, adjustments were made immediately under the command of the sentry commander who was at the forefront.

The gunmen in the army all stepped forward, lined up in several lines, and were ready. When the Ming army rushed over, they fired a volley almost directly in front of the opponent's face.

Countless lead bullets were fired, immediately knocking all the Ming soldiers rushing forward to the ground.

"Kill!" With a loud shout, the soldiers of Linying Camp came out from both sides and immediately drove the shocked Ming soldiers down.

As soon as the two sides engaged in battle, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were killed by the soldiers of Linying Camp in close cooperation.

If you had just been hit by a fire cannon and still had a little bit of morale, after the two sides fought hand-to-hand, the last bit of morale was also beaten down.

After the Ming army collapsed, the last resistance in Guangzhou City was ended.

Zhang Xuan also came to the north gate of Guangzhou at this moment. When he saw Ma Sanbao, he kicked him hard and said, "You kid is going to die."

Ma Sanbao laughed and didn't say much. He knew that what he did today must be a great achievement. Zhang Xuan's little tricks and embroidery, but two hits were nothing.

Something suddenly occurred to him, and General Wang Chengye said: "General, if Brother Wang hadn't saved me, I wouldn't be able to come back today."

Zhang Xuan glanced at Wang Chengye and said, "Are you from Hu Dan's subordinate?"

Wang Chengye said: "Yes, Wang Chengye, a humble official, has met the general."

"Is this Wang Chengye?" Zhang Xuan said; "I remember you, now go find Hu Dan, I want to see him."

Wang Chengye was overjoyed and said, "Yes, General."

For Wang Chengye, as long as Zhang Xuan can remember the last name, it is the greatest compliment. As the saying goes, Jane is in the heart of the emperor, so are you afraid that you will not be promoted?

Then he immediately went to find Hu Dan.

Ma Sanbao said: "General, Brother Wang has done a great job this time, and you just let him go like this?"

"Rewards and punishments in the army are always impartial. What credit does Wang Chengye have? It's because of what he did, not because he saved you. Are you the one who interfered in such a big matter?" Zhang Xuan scolded.

Ma Sanbao felt a chill in his heart. He suddenly felt that he was a little too proud, and he immediately dared not speak.

Zhang Xuan immediately understood that the Runing Army was divided into three battalions. When entering Guangzhou City, they must control the key areas in Guangzhou City. Zhang Xuan led his own soldiers to sit in Zhenhai Tower. He could be condescending and overlook most of the city.

Guangzhou City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so it can be used as the Xia army's last stronghold.

Of course Zhang Xuan knew that due to the march, he was very tired up and down, but Zhang Xuan also knew that if he ordered a rest now, the soldiers would not be able to cheer up for a long time.

It would be better to muster up the courage to take down the city of Guangzhou before discussing this matter later.

"The general I am paying my respects to." Hu Dan arrived very quickly. He was at this point in the north city.

Zhang Xuan met Hu Dan, went up to him and said, "Mr. Hu, you are the one who contributed the most to this battle in Guangzhou."

Hu Dan said: "I don't dare to be a subordinate. There are many mistakes in the information conveyed by the subordinate. And in today's matter of seizing the city, the general is so wise and powerful that there is no need for the subordinate to take the credit. How can the subordinate take credit for it?"

Regarding this matter, Hu Dan still had some complaints in his heart. He had been preparing for several months, but in the end it was useless. After two months of accumulating strength, he could only punch it empty, and all his hard work was in vain. Hu Dan

Dan doesn't let go so easily.

Zhang Xuan said: "If it weren't for Mr. Hu who went deep into the dangerous situation and led the army, how could I have reached the gates of Guangzhou so easily. Mr. Hu must not refuse."

If Hu Dan had not stuck to the most critical time point so accurately, a few days earlier or a few days later, things would have been very different. Although he had some things that he was not sure about, but the flaws could not be concealed.

"Thank you, General." Hu Dan said with some excitement.
