Chapter 198 Tiger Ben army, do not retreat! Seek the moon(1/2)
For Zhou Peigong and Hu Quancai, this is a war that cannot be lost!
"Come on the troops, come on the troops!"
Now that Hu Quancai is still resting on his mind, Zhou Peigong must support the entire battle situation.
He was running back and forth between the east and south of the city, and he was almost paralyzed.
Now he is supporting and defending himself! Even for himself, he has to defend Wuchang!
These Qing soldiers gradually realized the seriousness of the matter.
They all tried their best to defend the city.
But it has to be said that the impact of spirit on a person is huge.
Even if they support themselves, they are still less than half of their usual combat power.
The Ming army took the opportunity to attack the city and struggled to kill, which was temporarily stopped.
Zhou Peigong was instantly panicked.
When he was in Baling, the Ming army was allowed to climb to the top of the city.
At first there were only a few dozen people, but later it turned into hundreds and thousands.
As the number of people grew, the Qing army gradually could not resist it, so it was defeated.
Seeing that history is about to happen again, how could Zhou Peigong not panic?
"Hurry, go and call the Governor!"
Hu Quancai also struggled all night.
Originally, Zhou Peigong didn't want to call him up so early.
But now it's already burning, so I can only do this.
"Abide by the order!"
...
...
On the east side of the city, the Hu Ben Army also began a fierce attack.
Under the cover of artillery, the soldiers of the Hu Ben Army quickly climbed the ladder.
The Qing army was so overwhelmed that they couldn't breathe. There was no time to suppress the climbing Ming army, and they just begged the shells not to fall beside them.
The cooperation between the Ming army artillery and the vanguard infantry was very tacit, which was also an effect that was achieved after practicing for a long time.
Zhu Youlang emphasized that all military camps should have full trust, and that only by doing this can we climb the city walls in the fire of artillery.
In comparison, the soldiers of the Hu Ben Army were much luckier than Li Dingguo's subordinates.
This is not Zhu Youlang's biasedness, but a very normal choice.
There are only so many Prussian guns and cannons, it must be the direct military use of the Tiger Ben.
Anyone would have made this choice.
As for whom he first broke through the Qing army's defense line, Zhu Youlang would not be too concerned.
In his opinion, it would be good if you break Wuchang City.
When the soldiers of the first wave of Hu Ben Army were about to climb to the top of the city, the officers of the artillery battalion ordered the stop of firing artillery.
This is to avoid accidentally hurting friendly forces.
The Qing army obviously reacted and got up from the ground and rushed to the cliff.
"Stop the Ming thieves, and don't let them gain a foothold on the city and drive them down!"
The first person to stand on the top of the city was Zhao Xu. As the most outstanding young general in the Hu Ben Army, Zhao Xu was highly valued by the emperor.
It took Zhao Xu less than a year to promote himself from a big head soldier to a guerrilla general.
Zhao Xu was naturally very grateful to the emperor.
Without the Emperor, there would be no today.
People should be grateful for their kindness, let alone face the emperor.
Besides, the Hu Ben Army is the personal army of the emperor. They are all the minions of the emperor, and everything is for the benefit of the emperor.
Therefore, they must take the city head first before the subordinates of King Jin, so that the emperor can naturally suppress King Jin.
Otherwise, wouldn’t the emperor be blind?
Gradually, nearly a hundred Tiger Army soldiers gathered around Zhao Xu.
Facing the dark Qing soldiers surrounding him, Zhao Xu did not panic but ordered in a deep voice: "I am a line. I will not take a step back when I stand here. You need to work with me to defend this line together. People are on the line, and people will die and lose!"
Zhao Xu knew very well that his current task was to stabilize his position as much as possible and gain time for more robes.
The more soldiers of the Hu Ben Army climbed to the top of the city, the greater the pressure on the Qing soldiers.
When the balance point of pressure becomes unbalanced, it is the moment when the offense and defense trends change.
"Kill the enemy and serve the country!"
Facing the Locust soldiers rushing over, Zhao Xu drew his sword and slashed.
There are no too fancy moves, they are all extremely practical techniques.
After all, Pioneer is an extremely physically consuming existence, and Zhao Xu must preserve his physical strength as much as possible.
"Stone, guard the wings for me!"
"Brother Xuzi, don't worry. With me here, the Tartars are not close to each other!"
Zhao Xu nodded with satisfaction.
Of course he trusted Li Shitou very much.
The two of them followed His Majesty north to Sichuan to attack Chongqing together.
Afterwards, they followed the emperor to fight in Huguang and fought through countless life and death junctures. They were a friendship that was a life-and-death relationship.
"Array!"
"Oh!"
More than a hundred Ming soldiers scattered one after another, forming a fan shape.
This formation is most suitable for defending, and the Hu Ben Army clearly has to delay time.
If you drag it for a moment, you will have more robes to climb to the top of the city.
"Dog traitor, what's wrong with being a Tartar dog!"
Zhao Xu slashed the head of a Qing soldier with a fierce sword, licked the blood that splashed the corner of his mouth, and kicked his body away.
"Who else!"
The Qing soldiers who surrounded him were all frightened by Zhao Xu's ferocity. None of them wanted to lose their lives for no reason, and they stopped moving forward.
"Go up, there are more than a hundred Ming thieves, you're so scared!"
Qing general stomped his feet in anger and directed his personal soldiers to drive the Green Camp soldiers forward.
"Kill all these thieves!"
Driven by personal soldiers, the Qing soldiers surrounded him again and launched a tentative attack.
Zhao Xu raised his knife and slashed on the neck of a Qing soldier.
But this time, maybe it was a problem with the angle of the knife swing, so he didn't cut off his head at once.
Blood gushed out of the neck, and the Qing soldier screamed in pain, instinctively blocking the wound with his hands.
But how could this wound be blocked?
Blood kept pouring out, dyeing the cotton armor on his body red.
Not long after, the Qing soldiers turned pale due to excessive blood loss.
thump!
Finally, the Qing soldier fell to the ground and his body kept twitching.
Zhao Xu kicked him away with a fierce kick, then slashed at another Qing soldier.
"Those who block me will die!"
Zhao Xu roared angrily.
His personal combat power is actually not very outstanding, just because he has a momentum that seems unrivaled.
People are afraid of death, and this is even more so for those who serve in the army.
They lick blood on the blade every day and may die at any time, so they instinctively want to hide behind during battles.
Even if you can't hide, you will step forward as late as possible.
