Chapter 226 The decisive battle against Wu Sangui
The military song of the Qi family army was interpreted by a group of female soldiers, and the voices resounded through the sky and shook the four fields. After hearing this, the soldiers on the city wall couldn't help but burst into tears and all sang them together.
Gradually, the voice became louder and louder, and everyone's courage became more and more powerful. They had comrades around them, and brothers were behind them. All fear was gone, and all they were full of enthusiasm.
Seeing this scene, Hong Niang was particularly moved. Lu Mingyue was indeed different from ordinary women, and she was even more bold and decisive than men.
Of course, her style is a bit too strong, and she is even suspected of being interfering with the authorities. She doesn't care if the commander doesn't care or a few battalion commanders don't care. She, a small whistle commander, dares to inspire the morale of the army and make decisions without making any decisions. She is simply bold.
However, for Hong Niangzi, this is not a problem. To be honest, Hong Niangzi's heart has been placed on Jixian for a while.
Everyone has their own stage. If it is not suitable, just let it go and give it to others.
"Captain Lu Shun, I will now appoint you as the acting battalion commander to guard the northern city. We will never allow the Tartars to step on the city wall!"
Lu Mingyue was a little stunned, then saluted suddenly and said loudly: "Please rest assured, General, I will do my best!"
At this moment, the war drums rumbled and the Tatar soldiers launched an offensive. This time, Nikan was in charge of command. He attacked Xinxiang, but was hit by Guo Yunlong's strong counterattack without any results.
It happened that at this time Tian Jianxiu attacked the food road. They used the trick and designed Tian Jianxiu and took down the duck's mouth.
After successfully capturing the duck mouth, Nikan suddenly discovered that Huaiqing's mansion was exposed in front of him. As long as Huaiqing is taken down, he can threaten Tongguan and Luoyang. By the way, he can also cut off the connection between An Guojun and the south of the Yellow River and trap Gu Zhenhua to death in Weihui.
With one move, everything was alive. Nikan keenly caught the fighter and hurriedly reported to Hauge. At the same time, he chased and killed him with his men.
After running for more than two days, the Tartars finally reached Biyang. Looking at the city wall, Nikan showed a proud smile on his face.
"Let me listen to Ben Beizi. The bandits are vulnerable. Whoever climbs to the top of the city first will be rewarded!"
"Abide by the order!"
The Tartars under their command were excited, some were pushing shields, some carried ladders and city ropes, shouting one by one, and yelling at An Guojun.
"Kill, rush!"
"Kill the Dog of Bright!"
The Tartars rushed over like a tide.
"Bah! You beasts are going to die!" Lu Mingyue's eyes were filled with fire and she said loudly: "Rise up the gun!"
Brush!
The female soldiers subconsciously raised their muskets, and as more and more Tartars rushed up, the hands of these female soldiers gradually began to tremble. To be honest, even men may not be able to bear it, let alone a woman.
Lu Mingyue's cold voice came: "Everyone listens. You and I are on the front line to deal with the Tartars. Behind us is the supervising team. No matter who it is, you dare to take a step back and chop down immediately, and I am no exception! There are no women here, only soldiers!"
The cold words made everyone tremble all over. No matter how much fear was, they would not dare to retreat.
"shooting!"
Within eighty steps, Lu Mingyue issued an order accurately, and many female soldiers shot a shot with their eyes closed.
Despite this, dense firepower is still formed, and the benefits of queuing are here. There are always times when a blind cat encounters a dead mouse!
After a single bullet was shot, many of the Tartars were shot and fell to the ground, wailing in pain, and even those who were directly killed.
Lu Mingyue clearly saw that she shot a Tartar officer with one shot. The guy rode on the horse, and half of his brain was beaten away. His eyes were covered with brain plasma and blood. Lu Mingyue felt that there was another stir in her stomach, but she still held it back.
Even if female soldiers are like this, the morale of those male soldiers is also inspired. No matter what, can a dignified man be able to compare with a bunch of old ladies?
"Brothers, beat the Tartars hard and make them suffer!"
The gunshots were densely filled with rain, and the Tartar soldiers under the city fell in large numbers. Nikan, who was watching the battle in the distance, held a cliffhanger and looked at the top of the city.
At this time, Nikan suddenly realized that what was floating on the top of the city was the red flag of An Guojun. Nikan was so angry that his teeth were clenched.
"Damn it, what's the Anguo Army? Someone coming!"
Nikan shouted, and his subordinates hurried over.
"Listen, prepare the cannon immediately and blow off the Bianyang for me."
"Abide by the order!"
As an old opponent, Nikan did not dare to underestimate An Guojun. He immediately prepared the artillery and shot towards the city. With the rumbling sound of cannons, a shell just hit the city.
Lu Mingyue just killed a Tartar again, and her mood became much calmer. The real battlefield was similar to the training ones!
Just when she was in a happy mood, she suddenly felt something was wrong. In desperation, she hurriedly lay on the ground. Behind her, two female soldiers were hit, and the upper half of their bodies were suddenly shot out, and the thick blood fell on Lu Mingyue.
At this time, this strong woman finally felt the cruelty of war. This is not training, it is a battlefield that determines life and death at any time!
"Sister, if you can assassinate the Prince of Tartars, you won't be bad either!"
"Battery Commander, are you okay?"
Several soldiers came to support Lu Mingyue, and Lu Mingyue's eyes widened and tears of sadness were staring away.
"Don't worry about me, stand at my posts, don't put a Tartar on it!"
Guns and cannons rumbled, and the two armies collided again at the top of the city of Biyang. Just when the battle broke out, there was still more than a day before Biyang. The traitor Wu Sangui was rushing over with his men and horses.
After Nikan took the duck mouth, Wu Sangui also felt the changes in the fighter plane. He hurriedly put forward his ideas with Haoge.
With the loss of the artillery battalion, the Qing army's ability to attack the city was greatly weakened. At this time, they fought with the Anguo army again, and some of them hit the stones with eggs. The chances of victory were not great.
If you want to break the deadlock, you can only play to your strengths and avoid your weaknesses. There is no doubt that the strength of the Tartars is cavalry and mobility!
From the mouth of the duck, he rushed into Huaiqing, took down Biyang, captured Luoyang, advanced to Tongguan, defeated Li Zicheng, attacked Kaifeng eastward, blocked Anguo army north of the Yellow River...
In an instant, the choices placed before them became diverse. At that time, An Guojun was exhausted and as long as there were flaws, he would take decisive action to kill An Guojun and relieve this important problem.
Haoge also agreed with this idea. After discussing it with Wu Sangui, he immediately decided that Haoge would lead the main force and continue to put pressure on the Anguo army in Xinxiang, Jixian and other places. Then Wu Sangui would lead 12,000 Guanning Iron Cavalry to quickly assist Nikan and jointly take down Biyang.
After many battles, the Guanning Army suffered continuous losses since Shanhaiguan. Although there were occasional supplements, it could not keep up with the consumption speed. More than 10,000 people were already Wu Sangui's last family. All the traitors were bet on, just to try their best to bet!
Almost at the same time as Wu Sangui, Gu Zhenhua also received news that the Yazikou had lost. After weighing the pros and cons, he still had to take the opportunity to avoid it. He had to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and hurt the Tartars in one fell swoop.
After Gu Zhenhua handed over the task of guarding Miyang to Hongniang, he immediately dispatched troops.
"Everyone, this time is likely to be a battle between us and the Tartars. Therefore, we must mobilize the most capable force to kill with one blow! As long as we can win, even if northern Shaanxi is lost and Li Zicheng is defeated, with our strength, it will be enough to defend Henan!"
Gu Zhenhua's sharp eyes swept across everyone: "In this battle, the rise and fall, the rise and fall of the people, so my master must personally command this battle, the Third Fifth Regiment of the Guards, the First Cavalry Regiment, the Artillery Battalion, and the Vehicle Battalion, as the main force of this battle. Guo Yunlong, Xie Bin, Zhou Yingjie, Yue Polu, Gao Hongtu, you all go to battle with my master. Jixian and other places are handed over to Sun Cheng and Li Xu to guard. You should not only be optimistic about the city, but also pay attention to the trends of the Tartars. Whether it is the addition of Huaiqing or the withdrawal of the capital, you must hold them back!"
"Abide by the order!"
Li Xu and Sun Cheng bowed together to receive the order.
Li Jibo, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but say, "Duke, the two infantry regiments are a bit short of manpower, I think they should bring more."
"No need." Gu Zhenhua laughed and said, "No need. There are troops from Chen Yi and Huo Yingfang and others in Xiuwu and other places, with a total of three or five thousand. I just got the news that Lu Yong had led 20 battalions of Nanyang troops to the north and arrived in Yuanwu. In this way, the troops that can be used are nearly 20,000. In addition, there are the navy brought by Shen Tingyang and Yuan Zongdi's Dashun Army, which are enough to fight a big battle."
Any battle is a good time to train troops. Leading the new with the old can quickly help new recruits grow.
At the beginning of the war, Gu Zhenhua's total strength was less than 20,000, and he lost a lot during this period. However, if 10,000 Nanyang soldiers could grow, not only would the losses be compensated, but the combat effectiveness of the Anguo Army could be improved.
Li Jibo and the others all understood Gu Zhenhua's wishful thinking. The old man bowed his hand and said with a smile: "Since that's the case, I wish the Duke's flag a victory and success!"
Gu Zhenhua and his men quietly left Ji County in the night. Just above the South Gate Tower, Mei Junruo looked at the girl from afar. The girl's melancholy turned into concern in an instant and was taken to the distance.
As the horse's hooves went south, Gu Zhenhua also looked back at the city wall, full of affection: My beloved woman, wait for me and return triumphantly!
The small Biyang suddenly became the focus of the battle between An Guojun and the Qing Dynasty. Gu Zhenhua and Wu Sangui, the old enemies, were quickly advancing towards Biyang, and the decisive battle between the two sides was inevitable.
At this time, Hong Niangzi and Lu Mingyue and the others still had no idea that this battle would be so important. The two women just used up everything and carried their own persistence.
The fierce battle has reached the third day, and the wooden rocks on the top of the city have been completely washed away. The Tartars climbed to the top of the city several times. The Hongniang personally fought with his men and horses to drive the Tartars down again and again.
Lu Mingyue's voice had already been hoarse, and it was extremely uncomfortable to burn fire, but she didn't even have a moment to rest and drink water. She kept patrolling the city wall, and several cracks had been blasted by the Tartars. Once it was broken, I'm afraid that the Bianyang would be completely finished!
"careful!"
Just as Lu Mingyue was thinking about how to deal with it, a loss suddenly shot from below. Lu Mingyue hurriedly flashed, but it was still too late. An arrow shot on his shoulder. Although it was not deep, it still fell on the city wall.
Hongmao hurriedly ran over and picked her up. After fighting side by side for several days, Hongmao had already regarded her as her closest comrade. Feibu was in a hurry, Hongmao carried Lu Mingyue to the city.
"I, I'm fine."
"Don't be arrogant! Be honest and obedient, hurry up and go down and rest, I'll stare at the top of the city."
While speaking, Hong Madam took the water bag and asked Lu Mingyue to drink some water. But she took the water bag and didn't pour out a drop of water.
"Damn it, it's all frozen!"
"Wait." Lu Mingyue suddenly looked shocked, as if she had received a heart-boosting injection. She actually struggled to sit up and grabbed the water bag in her hand.
Outside Biyang City, Wu Sangui finally arrived with his troops. Nikan was a little unhappy with the arrival of the traitor. He was not far from victory. At this time, wouldn’t Wu Sangui come here to take credit?
"King Pingxi, after our fierce attack, the Anguo army in the city was exhausted, and the breaking city was right in front of us."
Wu Sangui said with a smile: "Mr. Beizi, you have not failed to explain to An Guojun. They are scheming and resilient, so you must be careful."
"Hahaha, if you don't have to worry about King Xi, just wait and see the show."
The morning glow illuminated the earth, and the Tartars once again rectified their troops and prepared to capture Biyang in one fell swoop. With the desolate horn, more and more soldiers gathered together, and Nikan was wearing military uniforms and was very proud.
But just as he looked at Biyang, the dazzling rays of the city wall almost blinded his eyes. The guy was shocked. After looking carefully and then, Nikan was so angry that he almost fell to the ground.
It turned out that just outside the city wall of Biyang, there was a thick layer of ice, which was two or three meters long, which was equivalent to a strong armor on the top of the city.
Just now, the light reflected from the ice layer was reflected. After seeing this big ice city, Nikan was stunned and couldn't speak for a long time.
The Tartars launched another attack, and now their artillery exploded at most ice cubes. The soldiers on the city wall smiled and poured a few more buckets of water, and immediately returned to their original state.
The city wall became particularly smooth, the Tartars could not stand, climbing ropes could not be hooked, and all the siege methods became useless.
The soldiers on the city wall proudly threw down the grenade, which made them overturned, making them feel embarrassed!
This was exactly the trick Lu Mingyue thought of. The Ice City blocked the road, and the Tartars suddenly fell into trouble. They attacked for two days without any results. After seeing this, Wu Sangui was also very angry.
He hurriedly found Nikan, "I mean that the thief has many tricks and must be guarded. Now that Biyang cannot be taken down for a while, I immediately led my troops to bypass Biyang and attack Luoyang."
Chapter completed!
