Chapter 137 Take down Jingshan
The Pioneer Camp was very fast, and not long after, it set up landblocks and machine guns at the gates of the east and west cities, and began to deploy defenses on the spot!
The Qing soldiers on the top of Jingshan City have discovered them, and the number of people defending on the city wall has increased sharply.
After seeing the guard belt of the Pioneer Camp in the telescope, he just grinned and hugged on the city wall to defend against the city wall. The 75mm cannon, which is more than four meters high, could have collapsed in just a few seconds. If he hadn't had a cannon in his hand, he would have fired.
The artillery in the first town was seriously insufficient, so the general had to hit the cannon in his hand and prepare to train some qualified artillery from the first standard.
Not long after, Li Han and his follow-up troops arrived one after another. The artillery battalion was set up two miles away, and the second sign spread out to defend on the spot. Whether it was the first sign of the artillery that he went out with him this time, many new recruits joined. They all knew that this was not an exercise, and they all carefully dug holes and covered them according to the combat skills taught by the senior a few days ago. One cannon was pushed out of the donkey cart and the horse cart, and they were lined up and pointed at the city gate.
This is Zhang Zhihe who has not escaped in the city. He already knows that Jingshan is surrounded by people. Although he curses in his heart, he knows that he is afraid that it is too late to escape now.
The two gates in Jingshan County, both of which were in and out, were blocked by the Pioneer Camp first.
Zhang Zhihe was on the east gate wall at that time, but when someone was about to go out to fight, he was persuaded by him. He joked that he had small cannons in his hands, and he didn't know how many cannons there were. After he personally looked at the situation outside the city with a telescope, he only found a team of troops in the Pioneer Battalion, and thought he could use the city to defend against the city for a while. Liu Shuai's army almost should break through the Shayang front line. As long as Liu Shuai's army arrived, no matter how many chaos troops there were outside the city, it was not enough to see that the general had twenty or thirty cannons in his hands and got off the city wall and returned to the temporary command center in the city to rest.
It was precisely because of this negative defense that he lost the last chance to escape. When his subordinates sent people to inform him that another army of thousands of people came outside the city, he was shocked. He heard that there were dozens of cannons, and his face suddenly disappeared. It seemed that they all understood that they might have alarmed the giant beast lying next to Jingshan. The rebellious army, which claimed to have a town of troops, might have come!
With the support of his subordinates, Zhang Zhihe trembled up the city wall and looked out the city. He was so shocked that his legs and feet were weak. There were less than 400 Qing soldiers in the city. The reason why they were able to take down the county town last night was that they had achieved merit in Yunnan and killed most of the senior military officials in one fell swoop. The second was that they attacked the civilian army, which was as chaotic as a group in the city. After all, the civilian army had just formed a short time ago, so it would be fine to follow the trend. After learning that the senior military officials were killed, they were disorganized. They were really defeated. Even if a few people stood up and hoped to be able to roam the tide, it was too late.
Zhang Zhihe has been in charge of the army for a long time. Although he was from a patrol battalion, he also had some vision. Looking outside the city, he looked densely packed one after another. He was shocked in his heart and was stunned. At least thousands of troops came to the city, and dozens of artillery were even raised high.
"It's over, how can I fight this battle? The other party has cannons, and I don't have many machine cannons here. Once the fire is exchanged, it will definitely not be blocked, and it may be blown into the sky."
Zhang Zhihe was frightened by the lineup under the city. He began to worry about whether to fight this battle or not. The team officials and staff standing next to him were helpless with the situation in front of him. He didn't have many people to fight, and the machine gun firepower was not as good as the other party. In addition, the cannons on the opposite side were not vegetarian, so I didn't know how many people would be blown away when I shot it.
But if you don’t fight, Master Guan said just now that the court’s methods of treating Han ministers were indeed cruel. If you don’t fight and offer the city, you will inevitably end up in the confiscation of the family and the destruction of the nine clans.
The atmosphere on the court suddenly became silent. The group stopped talking, but they were waiting in their hearts for the leader to make their own ideas. If you want to die, just let him say something!
In this way, several team officials and staff looked at Zhang Zhihe without saying a word, and Zhang Zhihe also looked at these subordinates.
"Let's say a few words, see how you can deal with this matter in front of you."
Zhang Zhihe said in a buzzing voice, but he was extremely embarrassed. He had just added a beautiful concubine, but he had not been favored several times, but the court ordered him to follow the general south. Later, he was unlucky and was blocked by the general. He was blocked in this newly occupied county town and could not enter or exit. If he was outside the city, he could still run away. Now he moved into the city in order to feel comfortable and found a few girls from brothels to be happy. Now he was blocked and could not even run away.
He was extremely unwilling to accept it. When he thought of the coquettish American concubines at home, he felt itchy. If he surrendered, he would definitely implicate his family. If he didn't surrender, he might be his life here today!
"We are following the will of the Lord."
The confidant who was signaling Zhang Zhihe's eyes next to him immediately stood up. Who knew that he wanted to curse himself when he opened his mouth. These little bastards, who often flattered him, could make him happy, but now he doesn't watch the occasion, which is not the same as not saying anything!
The people next to him immediately understood and bowed in unison and shouted: "We will follow the will of the Lord!"
The accurate and neat voice made his face darker. He wanted to get angry but was so angry that he was itchy. After he hesitating for a while, he shook his hand and said, "Cross Team Official"
"Tagged in"
"Is there no news about the handsome guy?"
"Sir, although there is a radio station in the city, I can't contact the Grandmaster!"
Zhang Zhihe nodded, looking a little ugly on his face for a long time before sighing deeply, just as he was about to speak, he heard a loud shout suddenly coming from outside the city.
"Listen to the people in the city, they immediately abandon the city and surrender, and those who resist will kill them."
"The surrendered ones are exempt from death, and they can return home freely after the war is over!"
"Snatch the gun and don't kill it, and you will be a great contribution to the city!"
The Pioneer Battalion ended the battle for only about twenty minutes, and the second target following the speeded up the journey. Soon after, the densely packed army of the army could be clearly seen on the city wall!
Second Ballot sent several soldiers with loud voices to stand fifty meters outside the dilapidated city wall to shout. They were not worried about danger, because as dozens of cannons that came first took off their cannon suits and their ferocious muzzles stopped the county town, making the Qing soldiers in the city so scared that they dared to shoot first.
The second bidder Zhang Binggan sent people to shout for a long time, but found that although the Qing soldiers in the city did not fire, they seemed to have no intention of surrendering to the city. So they waved their hand and asked their soldiers to withdraw!
"Send someone to notify the general, and say that the Qing soldiers in the city are unwilling to surrender."
"yes!"
The messenger soon passed the news to Li Han two miles away from the rear. He didn't say anything, but soon, the cannon mark, which had not been moved, finally came. With the correction of the gun port, the Pioneer Battalion was ordered to withdraw from one mile to defend. Not long after, the roaring cannon sounded, and after just one round, the unsolicited city wall collapsed half of it.
Before the Second Army launched a charge, the Qing soldiers defending in the city could not help it. They saw several soldiers in the gap, holding a big white flag and proclaiming that the Qing soldiers in the city surrendered completely.
