Chapter 150 Break the city
When the explosion sounded, the Taiping Army soldiers who were on standby performed exactly the same as the Qing army in the city. Almost most of the soldiers were stunned by the loud noise and the scene in front of them. They looked at the city wall that disappeared out of thin air in front of them in disbelief.
Many new recruits were even scared to the ground when the explosion sounded, and there were many trembling all over. After all, they had never experienced this sense of horror of the earth and the mountains in their lives. The lightning and thunder in the sky were not even more shocking than it did. In the face of the power that they had never felt in their lives, the instinctive fear of human nature is not shameful.
"It collapsed, it collapsed, the city wall collapsed!"
Because he was too excited, Ge Zheng's face was presented on his face in an extremely strange shape. While most of the soldiers behind him were still immersed in the horror of the explosion, he had already swung his sword towards the city wall.
"Roar into Xinhui City and kill all the Tartars!"
"Brother!"
Seeing that his brother rushed up like this, Ge Yi was shocked and hurriedly followed him with his sword. When the two of them moved, the officers and soldiers of the Zhenlu Camp immediately woke up: The city collapsed, when will it take until the rush?
"Roar into Xinhui City and kill all the Tartars!"
One, two, three, countless soldiers from the Zhenlu Battalion followed their hundred households and rushed towards the Xinhui City, which had been blown up. The soldiers lying on the ground also jumped up from the ground. They realized that if they didn't rush at this time, they would be fools, and if they couldn't rush in, they would be fools! Without the protection of the city wall, Xinhui City would be a stripped-down girl, and anyone else could get on!
The ones who worked the most in charge were the Green Camp soldiers who had just surrendered, because they knew how strong the Xinhui City was, and they also knew how Li Dingguo's army looked at the city last year. They were forced to surrender to the Taiping Army. They all thought that the Taiping Army would use them as cannon fodder when the Taiping Army attacked the city, and it was impossible to capture Xinhui City. But they never thought that the city wall would be blown up by the Taiping Army!
The moment the city collapsed, the surrendered soldiers were stunned. At the moment when they charged, no one was behind. There was anything good in Xinhui City. They knew better than the Taiping Army!
The Zhenlu Camp moved, and the powerful, the Hujie and the Three Battalions of the Guards immediately reacted. There was no need to have any command at this time. Everyone held up the weapons in their hands and rushed towards the city wall instinctively. Looking at the city below Xinhui City, more than two thousand Taiping soldiers gathered together like countless streams, with the blade pointing directly at the gap in the city wall.
...........
"Sir, the city wall has collapsed and the cannon has been blown up. We can't hold on anymore, let's go!"
After experiencing the terror that had never experienced in his lifetime, everyone was suddenly frightened. They could not imagine how the Taiping Army outside the city used to blow up the solid city wall, and it was even more difficult to imagine how the black smoke rising from the sky was formed in front of them. They only knew that the city wall had collapsed, and countless brothers were buried alive by the collapsed city wall, and a cannon was also blown into the sky, and then it fell heavily on the city wall.
Flying stones, falling cannons, residual limbs, black smoke...
The east city wall was like hell, and no one wanted to live in hell. The Qing army collapsed without surprise. They shouted and ran to the city desperately. No one tried to stop the Taiping Army rushing out of the city. The young and strong were running. The green camp soldiers were running, and the flag soldiers were running. They no longer had the courage to hold on. The loud noise just now had taken away their hearts.
Looking at the Taiping Army rushing into the city from the gap, Su Xianting collapsed to the ground in despair. His mind was blank and he murmured two words "It's over".
This time, no slave as loyal as Zhao Quan defended Su Zuo and fled. After the Taiping Army rushed into the gap, Su Xianting couldn't run away. At this critical moment, he was also determined to be loyal to his master, and gritted his teeth and jumped down from the city wall.
This leap not only preserved Su Xianting's loyalty, but also preserved the whole Su family!
.........
The Zhenlu Camp was the first to rush into Xinhui City. As the vanguard of the Taiping Army, it was equipped with all the armors of the entire army, and the Zhenlu Camp's combat effectiveness was the first among the camps.
Before the war, Ge Zheng received a task that the first group of attacks into the city after the explosion, killing all the Qing troops in the city that dared to counterattack, and firmly controlling the gaps so that the subsequent teams could keep up.
After the combat order was issued, the Zhenlu camp was silent. Whether it was the officers or soldiers, they all knew very well what the first siege meant.
The first team to rush must have to bear the most fierce counterattack of the defenders. In the battle, I don’t know how many people would be killed or injured, and even the entire battalion could be wiped out. However, what made the troops from the Zhenlu camp, including those who were filled with the green camp, was that the defenders on the city did not have any counterattacks at all, and no shells came on the way to charge, and no guns or arrows flew under the city walls. They rushed into the city without any casualties.
After rushing out of the thick smoke and finding that he had arrived in the city, the Taiping Army's eyes became crazy. The sky in the east was still white, but there were fire in Xinhui City now, with the sound of shouts of killing, muskets, and screams rising and falling. Just as any city was captured, great chaos inevitably occurred in Xinhui City.
When Zheng Guodong was about to run towards the south gate when the city wall collapsed, he knew that the situation was going to be lost as soon as the city wall was broken. There were no elite soldiers and generals in Xinhui City. Wu Jinzhong took all the soldiers who could fight to Guifeng Mountain. Now there are more than a thousand troops in the city that can resist the attack of the thieves. However, it would be better to say that Zheng Guodong had no soldiers to flee, because the previous explosion really shocked him.
Because he was eager to escape, Zheng Guodong did not even send people to spread the remaining Qing troops, nor did he try to gather the remaining soldiers to escape. In addition to his direct personal soldiers, the Qing army in the city, including those flag soldiers, were ruthlessly abandoned by him. In the eyes of General Zheng, the lives of the flag soldiers were not as valuable as those of Zheng's head.
After the Zhenlu Camp entered the city, Ge Zheng led his troops to advance into the city. Ge Yi led his people to guard the valley. With Hujie and powerful power, the third battalion of the Guards poured into the city. Xinhui City finally fell completely into the hands of the Taiping Army, and the remaining Qing army resistance could be ignored.
Unfortunately, when Ge Zheng led his troops into the city, he encountered several Qing troops who were eager to escape. As a result, he was so angry that he could not control him. After that, he killed everyone, which led to many remaining people in Xinhui avoiding the Qing army's sword, but ended up with the Taiping army's sword.
