Chapter 63: The Battle of Fengyang Seventeen
Wang Gang's army had collapsed. When he saw the spears of the Anton Army coming, he could no longer withstand it. Someone shouted: "The Anton Army is coming, run away!"
The whole team was suddenly in chaos and fled in all directions.
At this time, Wang Gang circled Anton's army and came to the front of the formation again. Seeing that his men were running away, he was stunned. He just circled Anton's army, why did it become like this?
?
Wang Gang was furious and shouted: "What do you want to do? Come back here!"
His roar had no effect. The rebels were running around in all directions, and no one listened to his orders.
"Go back, go back!" When the supervising team saw someone retreating, they immediately rushed forward and chopped down the leading men to the ground.
Seeing that there was nowhere to retreat, the invading soldiers stopped. Who said they were greedy for money? They had to finish the road they chose on their knees.
So, everyone turned around again and attacked Anton Army. "Damn it, Anton Army, I will fight you."
However, the Anton Army did not pay attention to these soldiers of the invading army at all, and walked resolutely towards the city gate without stopping.
When Wang Gang saw the soldiers being driven back, he was overjoyed and said to himself: I don't believe there are so many of us and we can't break this weird phalanx of yours. So he rushed out first, still shouting: "Brothers, follow me and kill..."
However, just as he approached the spear phalanx, sharp spears pierced the horse's belly, and the horse fell to the ground with a long neigh.
Wang Gang was really impressive. Before his horse could fall to the ground, he rolled and landed in front of the intruders.
An Dongjun didn't even look at him, he just followed Lin Dong's orders step by step and kept moving forward.
"Puff, puff!" The two armies clashed again, but the one-sided massacre did not change due to the anger and despair of the intruders. The spear phalanx was like a meat grinder, constantly killing the intruders who came forward.
.
"An Dongjun, I'm going to kill your ancestors." Wang Gang watched the living soldiers being stabbed to death with spears in front of him. His heart was bleeding, and he came over with his spear in anger.
However, as soon as he got close to the spear phalanx, he felt a pain in his right rib. Suddenly all the strength in his body seemed to be drained, and he fell to the ground softly.
"General Wang has been killed, run away!" Someone yelled, and the soldiers who had already suffered a mental breakdown could no longer care about fighting, turned around and rushed towards an uninhabited place.
"Go back, go back..." the supervising team roared loudly.
What greeted them this time was not obedient soldiers, but steel knives: "Liu, I have long disliked you. If you dare to block my way, today you will die or I will."
In the blink of an eye, the group of soldiers were fighting with the people who were supervising the battle team. They had been fighting with the Anton Army for so long, and these people behind had been standing and watching the fun. If you don't come to help, forget it. Don't let yourself escape now.
, is it tolerable or not?
The supervising team was quickly dispersed by the defeated troops, which made Liu Zongmin very angry and shouted: "Come here, chop them down for me."
"General, no, the morale of the army has been lost and nothing can be done. If we kill people at this time, I'm afraid it will cause a mutiny. General, think twice!"
"Kill..., kill..., kill..." The shouts of kill were louder than the other, and Lin Dong led Anton's army towards the city gate with neat steps.
Liu Zongmin glanced at his generals, but no one dared to look up at him.
It seemed that the souls of these people had been knocked out in this battle, Liu Zongmin sighed secretly.
"Stop them!" At this moment, a voice came. Liu Zongmin looked up and saw it was Gao Jie. He sneered and said, "Do you think you can stop them by flying over the mountain?"
"It's better than the defeated generals like yours! Let the tiger return to the mountain today, and it will be killed by the tiger tomorrow. Liu Zongmin, can't you even see this?" Gao Jie snorted coldly.
"Me!" Liu Zongmin opened his mouth, but swallowed back the words that came to his lips. He didn't know it, but it was a pity that the other party was too strong and he couldn't stop him at all.
"Do you think I don't want to keep them? I would be so cowardly if I could keep them? Gao Jie, don't talk nonsense now. Wait until you take off Lin Dong's head and come back to ridicule me, Mr. Liu. Otherwise, huh
…”
"Do you think I, Gao Jie, will be as useless as you?"
"Gao Jie, Mr. Liu would like to advise you, An Dongjun is not a vegetarian, be careful of inflicting new wounds on your heart!"
Gao Jie touched the wound under his ribs and suddenly became furious. You Liu Zongmin dared to expose my scars. Wait until I kill Lin Dong and see how I deal with you.
Gao Jie looked at him contemptuously, endured the pain, and led his soldiers to kill him.
Anton's army did not stop at all because of Gao Jie's joining, and their steps were still steady and powerful, as if everything in front of them was nothing but the city gate.
"Kill..." In order to boost morale, Gao Jie personally led the team to charge forward.
However, what awaited him was still boundless killing. Spears kept thrusting out, and the intruders fell one after another.
Only then did he realize that Anton's army's spear formation was sharper than before. His team was like a child facing an adult in front of them, with no power to fight back.
I don't know how long it took, but everything in front of Gao Jie was empty, and hundreds of soldiers were killed or injured in a single charge.
"Run quickly, Anton's army will kill people again if you don't run away." Someone shouted, and the entire army of invaders suddenly scattered. Although Gao Jie tried his best to restrain them, no one obeyed his order.
This result surprised Lin Dong. Could it be that he was so terrible?
In fact, how did he know that in this day and night of fighting, the Anton Army suffered very few casualties in exchange for thousands of casualties from the Chu Army. In addition, the Anton Army valued the friendship of their comrades very seriously. As long as there were casualties, only the comrades would be killed.
If he still has the ability, he will try his best to get the body back.
Therefore, from the Chuang Army's perspective, the Anton Army had almost no losses.
Looking at the Chuang Army again, almost no one who has fought against the Anton Army can come back alive. Even Liu Zongmin and Gao Jie, the fierce generals in the Chuang Army, suffered heavy losses at the hands of the Anton Army. This matter becomes more and more suspenseful as word spreads.
In the end, Antonjun almost became a murderer, the incarnation of the devil. Once he was attacked by Antonjun, he almost escaped death.
At this stage, the discipline of the army was very loose, and there was no organizational discipline at all. Moreover, the quality of the personnel in the army was uneven, and many of them were temporarily captured strong men. It was okay to feed them, but to fight? Is it possible to increase the number of people and strengthen the military power?
Okay, it would be a joke to ask them to charge into battle.
Based on the above reasons, the intruders at the city gate were so unbearable.
"Haha, Gao Jie, what else do you have to say now?" Seeing Gao Jie's team let loose, Liu Zongmin laughed loudly, and the depression of losing the war was swept away.
Gao Jie was furious, what could he do if his allies were undefeated?
It's a pity that the Chuang Army was already in disarray and was also afraid of the Anton Army. The soldiers only hoped that the Anton Army would leave soon and had no intention of guarding the city gate. Lin Dong led the Anton Army to charge all the way and soon left the city. Looking back,
Go, Chuang Jun only watched from a distance and did not pursue him.
"General, what should we do now?"
"Don't stop, keep moving forward. I have asked Li Da to prepare a boat by the river in advance. As long as we cross the Huaihe River, we will be safe." Lin Dong knew that these were just the vanguard of the invading army, and their real main force had not come at all.
I don’t know if Anton’s army would have been so lucky if they encountered the cavalry of the invading army.
In fact, how did he know that a large group of intruders had indeed moved in at this time, but they had no time to come here because they were fighting the Ming army guarding the imperial mausoleum.
In fact, there were quite a few Ming troops in Fengyang, with as many as 80,000 troops stationed in several guard posts.
Different from the real history, due to the early launch of the Chuang army and the addition of Lin Dong, the Chuang army was unable to take action to deal with these Ming troops, so that they had enough time to organize and move in with large groups of troops.
The city came to fight the invaders.
It's a pity that the eunuch Yang Ze was too timid and ran out of the city early because of fear in his heart.
As soon as he, the highest military officer in Zhongdu, ran away, the Ming army in the city was leaderless. The two armies fought a battle. In the end, because there was no one to command, the generals refused to obey the other. They fought independently, unable to form a joint force, and ultimately ended in failure. However, this
It was also a few hours later.
Later, Zhang Xianzhong heard that Fengyang's treasury had been emptied out, and even the forwards were beaten to the point where they could not lift their heads by Anton's army. He was furious and burned down Longxing Temple, which was finally captured.
The forward army was demoralized by Lin Dong, and their indomitable momentum was hit. There was no place to dissipate the fire in their stomachs, so they turned their anger on the Drum Tower.
He ordered his generals to board the Drum Tower and set off a fire until he saw the Drum Tower was engulfed in flames. Then he went straight to Hongwu Gate and rushed towards the imperial mausoleum outside the city.
The imperial mausoleum is located more than ten miles southwest of Zhongdu City, covering an area of more than 20,000 acres. The imperial mausoleum has three levels of city walls, and there are hundreds of Xiangdian, Zhaigong, official halls and other buildings inside. It is grand in scale, magnificent and solemn.
Seeing the intruders approaching, the Ming troops guarding the soul tried their best to stop them. Unfortunately, there were too many intruders, and they were eventually slaughtered because they were outnumbered.
Zhang Xianzhong's rebel army entered through the red gate of the Imperial Tomb Brick City and rushed south along the Shinto.
On both sides of the shrine, there are white stone carved tables arranged in pairs, as well as groups of stone statues of deer, lions, tigers, horses, sheep, etc., plus ceremonial ministers, military generals, chamberlains, etc., a total of thirty-two pairs, symmetrically distributed on the dozens of feet long
on both sides of the Shinto.
At the southernmost end of the Shinto is the Jinshui Bridge. After crossing the Jinshui Bridge, there are two giant monuments on both sides, both carved from a single giant stone.
The one on the east side is a monument without words, and the one on the west side is an imperial tomb monument. Both monuments are composed of five parts: the head of the monument, the cloud plate, the body of the monument, the hump and the Aozuo.
When the peasant army brothers saw the two monuments, they wanted to smash them into powder. But no matter how hard they used their weapons to knock on them, they couldn't leave a few marks.
