Chapter 806 Life is only about death in Yangzhou (Part 2)
With the opening of the city gate, as the first hero to conquer Guangling City, Lianshui commanded the Hefei people Taimeng to rush out of the city with his whole body; and the trenches in front of him had been filled with many of the swords and cards that rushed out with firewood and long cards.
Naturally, he still had some residual shame and anger in his heart. Because after they entered Guangling City, they had tens of thousands of armor and enough food and equipment, but these few were far away from their Taiping thieves, and they deceived them by bluffing methods; they missed the best counterattack opportunity in vain.
Nowadays, the remnants of Bi Shiduo's troops are still resisting stubbornly in the sub-city north of the city, which has restrained a lot of attention and spirit; the thief army outside the city uses various civil engineering operations to block and divide the open areas of the city gates in the first place; and has also arranged many horse-resistance, pits and foot nails.
So when the night attack was fruitless, the new and old troops on the city inevitably became more slack and avoided the battle. After all, this was the first time that many people entered Guangling City, Yangzhou, a world of flowers isolated from wars and chaos, and wanted to enjoy it well.
As a result, when Yang (Xingmin) led the cleanup and comforted the situation in Luocheng, he returned to the city wall and found the clues. He sternly scolded and punished the military generals on duty on the spot, and also publicly held the clan brother who was responsible for the external wall supervision, and robbed the teeth and general Yang Yan twenty sticks.
So after re-arrangement of troops in a quiet and cold situation, it is time for their new subordinates to make corresponding rewards and examples for their conservative and negligent attitudes that were not enterprising.
On the other hand, his confidence and confidence lies because after they entered Guangling, they obtained the armored arms collected by the Huainan camp for many years; almost everyone, who were originally equipped with incomplete military equipment, was able to change their faces and replace them with excellent standard military weapons, and were fully armed to their teeth.
Just wait to be divided into various ways to fight out of the city to give these thieves who only know how to show the scene. An unforgettable lesson and long memory is. Tai Meng recalled so excitedly and enthusiastically, holding up the snow-sparking horse in his hand and crossing a trench with a trench.
However, the reaction shown by the thief army in front of him seemed to make him hit the cotton ball with all his strength; he had already rushed to the trench and rushed out of the first distance, and was about to break out of the trench blocking area, but the current thief army was still indifferent.
Apart from the scattered figures running left and right, the flags in the distant camps did not sway a few times. Just as he was on the back of the horse, he encountered an empty camp plan along the way? He was about to hold a gun and stab the wall of the thief camp.
Suddenly, the dense roars that exploded from behind him, and the screams of people and horses made Tai Meng cold and turned around to look. However, he was stunned to see that the direction of his origin was already covered by dust and mud splattering and rising from the explosions one after another.
The horse team, mainly the party's children, followed him forward, was cut off from the large group of infantrymen who followed him, leaving only the rising dust and smoke and the rain-splashing sand and soil, and some bloody pieces.
At this moment, Taimeng suddenly appeared in his mind, saying that the soldiers who retreated after the night attack failed and the Taiping thieves were ambushed in front of the formation and could explode firearms in the soil, but it was too late.
Because of the loud noise and roar, the horse team that rushed forward became scattered and scattered; only the small group that followed him to rush forward was avoided because the distance was far away.
However, both Taimeng and others were inevitably filled with some buzzing noises, and for a moment, he shouted at the top of his lungs, and he could only hear a little bit of vague meaning.
However, at this time, the thief camp, which was originally indifferent, suddenly became alive. Behind the low walls, there were layers and rows of earthen blocks, and many figures holding crossbows and muskets came.
The trenches on the back also poured out many infantry with spears and licensed spears from the empty left and right wings, and rushed towards the team of horses separated in front of the formation.
"Kill the thief and serve the country..."
For a moment, Tai Meng, who fell to the bottom of the valley and was full of grief and resoluteness, sighed and raised his spear and slammed the enemy into the gap between the walls. He just wanted to kill a few more soldiers to save and make up for it.
However, the clamor in an instant, the blue smoke that exploded in front of him like fried beans, made him suddenly feel that his body was shocked, and he paused out of thin air, and his whole body was splashed with fine blood, and the trend still fell head-on to the soil foundation of the wall.
As the dozens of cavalry led by Taimeng fell to the ground as they approached the shooting, the remaining scattered cavalry were surrounded, and the people and horses pierced one after another, overturning the trenches.
The large group of infantrymen who had penetrated the smoke screen and sandstorm were more likely to lose their fighting spirit and courage, and they burst into clamors and cries on the spot. Under the sweeping of arrows and bullets, they collapsed without hesitation and walked away.
At the same time, with the shouts of killing attacks one after another, Yang Xingmin, who was watching the battle in the city, also cut off a horse whip with a pale face, and his palm was pricked and bleeding, but it seemed that he was not aware of it.
"Is this the firearm of Taiping Thief?!!!"
His words seemed to be asking the silent others around him with a stern voice, or asking him back with a heartache.
"This is the power of the firearm! It's a pity that the troops are insufficient. If it is worse..."
In the camp opposite him, Qian Gumei, who was wearing military uniform, was also a little dazed and sighed at the commander of the combat engineering regiment beside her:
"The Grand Governor has already explained that it will take some time for the support, but the corresponding equipment and equipment can be assigned and supplied from Jiangdong and Jiangxi to priority...
The engineering corps captain said meticulously:
In Chuzhou, outside Qingliu City at the foot of Langya Mountain, there were flags waving like clouds, and smoke rolling everywhere. The battle was full of battle. Countless figures holding the Taiping Green Flag were like tides, hitting the formations standing on the back of the city, destroying them and flooding them.
However, on the head of Qingliu City, as one of the "Thirty-six Township Party" who followed Yang Xingmin to guard the border and raise an army, Tao Ya, the governor of Haozhou, was still shouting loudly:
"The so-called Taiping thief who is invincible is just like this. When you encounter a strong city and a mountain, you have to attack the ants. According to this trend, you want to take it quickly, but you are afraid you will dream for nothing."
"No, this is not right..."
However, Tao Ya, who was tall and had deep eyebrows and eyes, muttered to herself:
"The firearms of the thief army have not been used much so far, especially the sky-roaring cannon that sounds like thunder, and there is no trace of it yet..."
"No matter whether he is right or not, we just need to persevere here and fulfill our hopes beyond the limit. What's wrong with having any firearms?"
Another general quickly persuaded:
Hearing this, Tao Ya suddenly realized that he seemed to be self-deprecating. He could only suppress this unreasonable thoughts and continue patrolling and supervising the battle on the city. Because with limited strength, he adopted a strategy of opposing the outside and neglecting the inside.
It is to use the experienced and capable soldiers who have returned from Shulu and the states to set up formations and guard the class by relying on the city walls, while the newly recruited soldiers and new soldiers were placed behind a safer city wall so that local troops could supervise and instruct, and also prevent the situation from breaking down and escaping.
Therefore, while blocking the foreign enemy, he also needed to suppress from time to time to maintain morale. Despite this, he still cut down dozens of soldiers who were shaken and hesitant and spread pessimistic and disappointing remarks, and only as a warning to the monkey was stabilized.
However, almost all of his men led (Yang Xingmin) to join and rely on Shouzhou after he entered the border; he had never experienced the fact that when Huang Chao passed by, they were beaten to escape from their hometown in Luzhou with just a wave of offensives.
Of course, we can't imagine how the Taiping thieves who had annexed and occupied more territory and population after these years would grow and grow? It's definitely not as good as the situation at that time, right? Then what are these thieves waiting for? Are they not in a hurry to support and gather in the army under Hailing City?
This doubt made him unable to calm down for a long time. At this time, the last camp on the west side of the city was shrouded in the heavy fireworks with the sound of fighting, and the last remaining soldiers who retreated into the west gate; and the vermilion flag on the west gate tower of Qingliu also shook as scheduled.
In an instant, I heard the sound of shouting shaking the mountains and the ground. From the joint camps on Langya Mountain, which had been on the defensive, suddenly, the doors opened and the troops were coming out from a high position. In a blink of an eye, they inserted into the thief troops under the west city wall, and fought with them in the broken camp.
So before long, these bandit troops, which were obviously exhausted for a long time, showed some decline, and retreated step by step under the impact of the Shouhao army. However, Tao Ya did not see much beauty at this moment, because these bandit troops were still defeated but not defeated. Instead, after withdrawing from the camp for a distance, they formed more than a dozen large and large battle formations and continued to resist.
"Mingfu, it's time for us to start... The opportunity must not be missed."
