Chapter 1084: Seeing the Minister's Festival in Dangerous Times (2)

In Linfen City, where the attack was in full swing, Li Sizhao (Han Jintong), the commander of the vassal Han horse-buying, whose helmet disappeared and whose hair was broken up on his shoulders, had already begun to regret his design of division of troops, and drove away the power of the vassal general led by Li Siyuan, the general manager of the South Road.

He thought that relying on the ten-mile circumference that has been inherited from the ancient "Yaodu Pingyang" and three feet high and two feet wide, plus the natural victory position located on the platform in the valley, and the elite soldiers of Hedong, the soldiers can somewhat make these peaceful thieves retreat.

But I didn't expect that these Taiping thieves who were particularly difficult to fight in the waves were so sharp and fierce in the attack. Just five days have passed, and several gaps have appeared on the city walls in the south, east and southwest.

The reason is that these thieves' weapons are really powerful. They can not only easily hit heavy iron balls on the city wall outside the setting of crossbows and stone cannons, but also jump to kill all the equipment and defenders in a line, but also scatter smoke and set fire to the back of the city wall.

Seeing that the city wall, which had been standing tall for thousands of years, collapsed unbearably under the thief army's loud sound like thunder and salt goods, it was missing many places, far less than the enemy, but only being beaten, which also reduced the morale of the defenders on the city and was extremely exhausted;

However, the bandit army was reluctant to launch an attack, but continued to use the camps of the three levels of the inner and outer levels to orderly encircle the gates of the Linfen City, which made people even more sad. Then, a giant ball that could be suspended in the air for a long time rose in the camp of the bandit army.

So the civilians and local defenders on the city were recruited on the spot and the local defenders suddenly became in a panic. They no longer cared about the scolding and threats of Hedong soldiers, and rushed to leave their weapons on the city wall, shouting the names of gods and Buddhas in the heavens and bowed and bowed.

Only the old soldiers who participated in the war in the pass may have seen this thing and understood that it was just a means for the thief army to look and observe from afar, but they could not curb the chill that soaked their backs; because this also means that the deployment of Linfen's city walls and the mobilization of troops were completely visible to the thief army.

Therefore, just after the sun rose again the next day, the car crossbows, large wooden single crossbows, stone cannons, and thrown cars were successively submerged in the continuous firecrackers. The equipment and the hands of the people who could not escape were bombarded into fragmented fragments and powder.

However, from the third day, it was the city tower and the city defense fortifications built on the city head; under almost accurate shooting, whether it was the sentry tower, enemy tower, arrow tower, or wooden barrier, they were all destroyed or overwhelmed by the huge bombardment force and permeation of the destruction.

Even if a large piece of thick cowhide was used to apply wet mud to intercept cannon stones and fire arrows and provide some kind of protection for the defenders below, it could not stop the cannons that occurred in the thief army; every time the bombardment was bombarded, it became full of holes, and more importantly, the defenders below could not dodge as much as they were smashed into meat paste.

Therefore, on the fourth day, even Li Sizhao (Han Jintong) could only stand on this part, flooded by blood and almost nowhere to step down, as an example to lead by example to inspire and inspire the remaining defenders;

Because, when Li Kening, the uncle and Datong defense envoy, was inspected on the inside of the relatively safe gatehouse, was actually wiped into his chest by a cannon that jumped into the wall, vomiting blood on the spot and was unable to survive. The defenders on the front of the city were shaken by it for a while.

For this reason, Li Sizhao (Han Jintong) had to open the treasury of Linfen City in advance, and piled up a lot of money like a hill under the inner wall. He thought that he would give him a reward and reward for showing up, and then cut down dozens of heads and hung them on the wall; so that they would not escape from the city at night.

This kind of result of having only a strong and skill but not being able to display it, and having to passively bear casualties also made the defenders in the city very angry. As a result, at that night, Li Cunshi, the commander of the military commander in front of the mountain, thought that the "little uncle" Li Kening had avenged his revenge, suddenly led his troops from the north of the city to attack the thieves' army's base at night.

As a result, under the cover of the night that day, one thousand cavalry and two thousand powerful soldiers heading to the camp; but in the thief camp, the sudden roar of the sudden explosion, the people were overturned and overturned, and the so-called dark night attack turned into a strong attack.

However, at this time, many tincture tanks were shot out from the thief camp, bursting and splattering everywhere in the darkness and burning into pieces; it also illuminated the bloody lying on the ground in the darkness, or trampling on the corpses of the people and horses, followed by various tripping ropes, pits and wire blocking to block the chaotic people and horses.

The roar of thieves and weapons in the second half of the night was almost intermittently until the sky turned white before it completely calmed down. And not to mention that Li Cunshi's troops who attacked the night attack were confirmed to have been wiped out and no one returned;

Even before dawn, he could not help with his brotherly affection and violated the order from Dongcheng again and went to the other Hedong infantry, Yuhou Hou, who was responding in the dark, was killed and injured and destroyed by the heavy firearms of the bandit army that had been prepared for, and the small centaur returned.

Therefore, even Li Sizhao (Han Jintong), who was the main general, began to miss Li Siyuan and others who should have led their troops outside to respond and support as agreed, but were not seen for a long time, and their vassal divisions under their command.

However, this is just a preview for the combat engineering battalions that were mobilized from within the pass and several artillery regiments of the strike army; in the future, it may attack the giant city of Beidu Taiyuan, a few giants in the world, and it will be a test of the combined cooperation of various troops to attack the tough situation.

It is located near the Fen River in the west and is diverted around the city. It is located on the platform with earth and stone and built on it. It also has four moon city (small urn city) Linfen city walls; in a sense, it is a shrinking version and variant that resembles the northern capital Taiyuan.

In the joint camp under the city, the Beihanghedong Counterattack Army group, which originally belonged to General Xu Yi and Meng Juehai, has been quietly replaced as Ge Congzhou and Meng Kai's new partner; that's right, Meng Kai, the "Flying Mountain Tiger" who bravely stood for the first place under the former general soaring to the sky.

As the third general of the First Army, Xu Yi, returned to Puzhou, thinking that he would rectify and incorporate the local surrendered troops in Hezhong, and at the same time promote the local purge and social transformation of the Pu, Shaanxi, Guo and Jin prefectures in the rear. Meng Juehai led several battalions to join the Chaiping army, which is now ordered to go to Heyang to take charge.

Of course, when Meng Kai took office and appeared in public sight, he really attracted a lot of attention; as a figure in the old era, it was too obvious and strong in him. But it quickly made most people accept reality quickly under the inertia of system operation.

As the number one confidant general under Huang Chao's former command, Meng Kai was also the number one figure in the past who guarded Chang'an and was in charge of city defense. In a sense, he was also the best example and model for showing leniency and tolerance.

Because, as the chief envoy of the Guangzhou Liusi, who was behind the Great Army on the north side of Huangchao, he was ordered to restrict and suppress the Taiping Army who had opened up his foundation in Chaoxun and was still unknown. Finally, he met and was defeated and left a foreign land during the incident in the Guangzhou.

Therefore, just about the grudges formed by the leader of the Taiping Army, who can compare with him? However, just like God's will, in the later journey, he continued to entangle with the Taiping Army in secret and got closer and closer, and eventually even lost the trust of Huang Wang several times.

Therefore, when Meng Kai slowly recovered from his overwhelming injury, he gradually understood the mission he had to shoulder in the new dynasty; and he could no longer avoid the dilemma in the dilemma as the reason for his injury.

Since the Grand Governor felt that he had the purpose of serving the New Dynasties, he had the responsibility and obligation to prepare a good example of being unyielding and inclusive by the lord of the New Dynasties for the sake of the vast majority of the old tribes who had followed the Huang King. He was not qualified to refuse whether he had died or was still alive in the journey.

Just like the one who had become a monk but was still summoned by the Great Governor and continued to serve as a monk, Liu Tang, the former Transportation Office of the Great Qi Pass. However, the other party represented the people who were affiliated with the Taiping Governor's Office system, who were affiliated with the Great Qi Wen.

But he thought it too late, and he didn't expect that the king would give him the responsibility of conquering the whole way, even if he was just the identity of deputy minister. Therefore, even if he had thousands of words to Meng Juehai, the clan who came to hand over, he could only leave a sentence "Take care for everything and do it yourself."

That night, Li Sizhao, who had fallen asleep, was awakened by his own soldiers again; because the soldiers who were in charge of digging holes with a large tank in the west of the city reported again that they had discovered the vague movements suspected of being excavated.

However, when Li Siyuan personally led a soldier and horse to wait until dawn, there was no discovery or other unexpected situations; this also made the many corresponding methods such as fire attack, smoke, water irrigation and other preparations he had prepared were in vain.

However, when they waited until the sky was really bright and they began to get sleepy and yawned, a sudden loud noise and a clear vibration that made people feel unsteady; they were awakened in an instant.

The tall city wall facing Li Cunxian (Wang Xian) and others who were waiting for the inside of the city wall were quickly cracked and peeled off in the midst of the movements of some kind of earth and rocks that were like a dragon turning over.

After the panicked and tragic yelling of the defenders above, they seemed to be violently beaten to reach a certain critical point, and suddenly they blasted towards most of the collapsed inside; not only did they subdue and buried the small number of standby personnel who were close to the city and could not escape.
