Chapter 79 Morning Time
[]
, The latest chapter of General's Fierce is updated the fastest! There is chaos inside the headquarters.
Late at night, three city gates were lost again. The generals had a debate at the headquarters. They decided to organize their troops to retake them until dawn. In less than an hour, the Shengde Gate in Xicheng was caught in a burning sky-high fire.
Most generals rushed to the headquarters in a hurry, not knowing how many enemy troops were attacking outside the city. They just watched the only passage between Tianxiong's army and the towering Shengde Gate Tower was shaking in the raging fire. Why didn't they be frightened?
A drunk commander rushed to the front with the support of two primary schools and stumbled to the eaves before he was a little awake. Zhang Huang twisted his head and looked at Shengdemen, but did not notice the threshold under his feet. He fell on the brick floor of the living room. Ge Huaicong was so angry that he wanted to use a whip to slap these idiots:
"Dog|Fuck it, it's all fucking fucking!"
Seeing this scene, Zhu Wei, who was sitting beside him, naturally had a gray face and said to Ge Huaicong: "This incompetent guy, drag him out to pour two buckets of water to make him wake up and come over to discuss matters!"
"Drag out!" Ge Huaicong saw the school outside the door looking at him, but he had no shame to protect him, so he signaled to drag it out to get water to soak up before saying that he would say that he would go out.
Yue Hailou walked in in a very embarrassed manner at this time.
"General Yue, what's going on outside the city?" Ge Huaicong asked.
Yue Hailou said that he would personally lead his men to climb over the wall and sneak out of the city to explore the enemy's situation. Ge Huaicong saw that he had only been back after an incense stick of time, so he stood up and asked.
"..." Yue Hailou shook his head bitterly and said, "As soon as he landed, he was noticed by the enemy cavalry and fled back in a panic!"
The city walls controlled by the Tianxiong Army, especially the west wall and the western section of the south wall, were under the surveillance of the enemy cavalry.
Even though it was not dawn at this time, Yue Hailou and the others had just fallen out of the city and landed on the ground, they were still discovered by the enemy cavalry and fled back in a mess. He was even hit by two arrows on the back of his shoulder.
Fortunately, I didn't try to save trouble and didn't wear armor.
The arrows were not deep in the flesh, so he hurried to see Ge Huaicong after being wounded by the arrow.
"It seems that it is not accidental that the mob raided the other three city gates at night," Yue Hailou said with a frown, "General Ge should immediately organize his troops to attack the mob on the north and south wings so that he can respond in time..."
Before, the Tianxiong Army failed to attack the Nancheng from the north and south sides. The other three city gates were also lost again in the north city area. Yue Hailou thought that the Tianxiong Army was exhausted due to its raid and was too indulged in plundering, so it was not that the mob was strong.
He thought that after the generals vented their squads and then took the constraints, the war would make progress quickly.
At this moment, Yue Hailou realized that these might be his illusions, so he advocated that Ge Huaicong immediately sent troops to attack the north and south wings to test how strong the combat effectiveness of the mob gathered in the north and south cities was.
If the facts prove that these mobs' will to resist is much stronger than they had expected before, the situation would be worse than they had imagined.
"Don't worry about this!" Ge Huaicong said indifferently.
He had just climbed up to the city and saw that only three or four thousand enemy cavalry crossed the Hui River from Yingzhou. He didn't believe that the mobs in the city could really be organized in a hurry.
"Please act carefully and don't let Ge be stigmatized again!" Zhu Han said in a deep voice.
Seeing Zhu Han revealing the scars of Tianxiong's defeat fifteen or sixteen years ago, Ge Huaicong's face suddenly
However, it became gloomy, but took a long breath and said, "Since Zhu Langjun and General Yue are so worried, I will make arrangements immediately!"
Although Ge has taken root in Hedong for four generations, which can be said to be deeply rooted, Ge Huaicong still has to consider what consequences he will have for his character, Zhu Han and Yue Hailou at the same time.
"May be able to attack Nancheng first! Please ask Shili Xu to lead his troops to attack the front line first." Cao Shili said.
As a new general, especially in the future, he still wants to rely on the Ge family. Cao Shili has seen too many dissatisfactions in the past two days, and he has kept it in his heart.
After attacking Datong City, he indulged his soldiers in the city for a long time, mainly Ge Huaicong, Yue Hailou and others to further express his attitude. When it comes to specific wars, he will not make people disgusted.
However, at this moment, he and Yue Hailou and Zhu Wei realized that things were too different from what they had originally thought, but Ge Huaicong had not received enough attention yet, and could not help but directly suggest sending troops to test the violent resistance in the Nancheng area, and even willing to lead the Qingshun Army in Shuozhou to advance to the front line to attack.
From the south city to the north bank of the Huihe River for twenty or thirty miles, there are river plains alluvial, and the terrain is flat and wide.
If the Tianxiong Army can capture the southern city area and the southern city gate, it will not only prevent the enemy from further rapid reinforcements from Yingzhou, but also facilitate their superior forces to go out of the city and fight against enemy aid.
In the north city, except for the narrow and horn-shaped terrain between the north wall and Wuzhou Mountain in the north, which was not conducive to the deployment of troops, the fire in the north city gate tower was only extinguished at this time, and the internal beams and pillars should have been burned through and are very likely to collapse.
The significance of competing for the North City area at this time is far less than that of the South City area.
"Then I'll ask General Cao to work hard first." Ge Huaicong said.
It was dawn, and the plundering troops of all the tribes had not returned, and they were in a mess. Before the dawn, Ge Huaicong had no confidence to organize an offensive in a positive way to deal with the difficulties of Yue Hailou and Zhu Han.
Now Cao Shili takes the initiative to invite the battle, how could he not want to?
"Crack, rack..."
Hearing the loud noise outside, everyone walked out of the living room and looked towards Deshengmen, but saw that the four-story city gate tower could no longer hold on and collapsed in the raging fire.
There were more than a hundred soldiers under the left and right city walls, and were dispersed by the generals, and they used buckets to put out the fire in vain. At this time, they could not hide and were smashed by the bricks and stones that had broken out and burning beams and woods.
Seeing this momentum, Ge Huaicong truly realized that the situation might be worse than they thought.
"The city tower collapsed! General Zhu stood under the city and urged the troops to put out the fire. Before he could dodge, he was hit by a cross beam and left in anger!" Someone rushed over to report.
Ge Huaicong's face turned pale. Before he could really start fighting, Zhu Guangwu was dead?
And how many soldiers were crowded under Shengde Gate to put out the fire, and how many were killed or injured?
…………
…………
The two main streets connected by the four gates of the inner and outer city of Datong are the most open. The sheds on both sides of the long street are removed. The long street is fifteen or sixteen feet wide, which is enough to drive more than a dozen war horses and drive them forward. However, from Shengdemen, Xicheng, we walked east along Chang Street, facing the west gate of the inner city where the remaining troops were defending.
Apart from the two main streets, Datong City is densely populated, chaotic houses and narrow streets.
Ge Huaicong ordered yesterday to remove sheds on both sides of the north and south to clean up
The attack channel for the north city and the south city area came, but when it was dawn, when he and Zhu Han, Yue Hailou and others rushed to the front line of the southwest city to supervise the battle, they found that no one paid attention to the military order at all.
The generals in charge of the front line on the north and south wings were even worried that the mob would come back at this time, which would hinder them from dividing their troops into the west city to plunder their property, demolish some houses, and intentionally block several narrow streets and alleys with bricks, stones and wood.
Not to mention demolishing the houses on both sides, just removing the obstacles on a wide street and clearing out a passage to attack the southern city area, it will be noon.
After the reorganization of the six hundred Tongbai Mountain soldiers was completed, Xu Huai handed over the construction of the city road to Zheng Tu, Han Qi, Xu Xin and others.
He and Xu Wuji, Zhou Jing and others rushed to the southwest city to find Zhu Han and Xu Wukun. He also wanted to see with his own eyes the strength of the organizational strength of the Khitan and the foreigners in the city resisting the people.
A total of 5,000 cavalry and infantrymen in the Qingshun Army entered Datong City, but the attack passage was too narrow and no matter how many soldiers and horses were, they could not play their advantages.
When Xu Huai rushed over, the Qing Shun Army only arranged a battalion of troops and formed a number of formations on the long street five or six feet long, and was carrying out the final preparations before the strong attack. The streets behind were filled with soldiers, but at this time, the birds could not be used.
It wasted too much time to clear the street barriers before, and the Khitans had been waiting for the battle on the opposite side, and the roofs on both sides were densely packed with Khitan archers.
Xu Huai stood up from the saddle, jumped directly to the roof on one side, and saw the arrays on both sides more clearly, and he couldn't bear to look on.
Cavalry are usually not equipped with heavy shields.
In order to ensure that the raid is advanced fast enough, the infantry of the Tianxiong Army and the Qingshun Army were either not prepared to cover the large area and thick Mongolian iron shields, or replaced them with lightweight shields, not to mention carrying siege equipment such as side vans, rushing cars, etc.
It was the third day that it had entered the city. Idiots like Ge Huaicong never thought of using local materials to create these siege equipment.
It was even worse than the two hundred military inspectors who were stationed in the hospital downstairs in the northwest corner, detained more than a dozen Han craftsmen, urgently found some carriages and transformed more than a dozen side vans in case of trouble.
At this time, the Qing Shun Army demolished many panel doors as large shields, raised them to the front, hoping to resist the Khitan archers from the roofs of both wings.
Even though Xiao Linshi was not able to mobilize the Khitans and the people of the foreign countries in the city in advance, it was obvious that after the Tianxiong Army and the Qing Shun Army vanguard attacked and captured the Victory Demen, Xiao Linshi's men hidden in Datong City began to move non-stop, and he also had a careful plan for how to play street fighting.
On the narrow long street, the Qing Shun army was soon taken by the Khitans to resist horses. The side vans transformed with antlers or carriages were delayed in their advancement. The small shields they held and several door panels in the front row could not guarantee that the soldiers in the rear could not be shot by the elite Khitan archers from the roofs of the two wings.
The two brothers Cao Shixiong and Cao Shili can be said to be brave generals, but before the Qing Shun Army surrendered, as the Khitan Han Army, the treatment of supplies, military and armor was far lower than that of the Imperial Treasure Army, and their status was low, equivalent to the Dayuexiang Army. How strong can we really expect to have?
The first team was shot and injured more than 20 people in the first team, but they could not even move away from the horse and the deer antlers in front of them, so they could only retreat in panic.
Chapter completed!
