On the second day of the siege, the rebels still did not attack the city on a large scale. They still only sent people in front of the city gate to persuade them to surrender. They still left a pile of gold when they left. However, after experiencing the confiscation of the gold collected yesterday, although the defenders on the city looked at it
Although they are anxious, no one is willing to come out to "pick it up", because after picking up the gold, it will definitely be confiscated by the Jin Yiwei, and the people may also be arrested.
The officers and soldiers did not dare to move. If the Jinyiwei wanted the gold, they had to do it themselves. The Jinyiwei waited until it got dark and sent out a dozen people. They did not dare to open the city gate, but walked down the city wall, preparing to collect the gold at night.
However, before they could get close to the pile of gold, they heard several loud bangs and bangs. A cloud of blood mist erupted from the bodies of the Jin Yiwei running in front, and they fell directly to the ground. The Jin Yiwei behind immediately panicked and retreated.
He ran back with his legs. However, the gunshots from behind continued. There was a loud bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang.
Supervising the battle at the top of the city was a Jinyiwei Baihu. When he saw that his men were killed, he was angry and anxious. He immediately urged the defenders to prepare for battle in case the rebels attacked the city. However, the defenders waited left and right, but no rebels were seen.
Come to attack, that Jinyiwei Baihu can't understand what the rebels are doing.
He was going to create a Mingtang. As soon as he rolled his eyes, he called the guard at the top of the city and asked him to send a few people out of the city to test it out and see if it was safe. If the rebels left, he could send people to get the gold back.
, and get the bodies of his men back by the way.
Jinyiwei Baihu wanted to use a soldier as a scapegoat. This plan was well planned, but the guard general was not happy with it. He argued that he did not dare to take credit from Baihu. Of course, Jinyiwei Baihu didn't listen and directly showed his knife.
He said that if he didn't arrange for someone to go out of the city to test him, he would be thrown into the city.
The Jin Yiwei was ordered by the emperor to supervise the army, and had the privilege of killing first and reporting later. Now that he had shown his knife, the guard naturally did not dare to disobey and went down to find the death squads unwillingly. However, the dozen or so Jin Yiwei still refused to listen.
With the corpse in front of him, and his resentment against Jin Yiwei, no matter what he said, no one among the soldiers voluntarily left the city. In the end, he had no choice but to resort to ruthless tactics and select ten unlucky guys by drawing lots and let them go.
Be a scapegoat.
Although the ten unlucky guys were very reluctant, under the threat of military law and swords, they all tremblingly followed the rope down the city wall, and then crawled towards the pile of gold on their knees, fearing that their lives would be destroyed by the deadly swords.
The gunshots were silenced.
Strangely enough, the ten soldiers climbed up to the pile of gold, and no gunfire rang out. Hundreds of Jin Yiwei who were hiding on the top of the city shouted, asking them to bring the gold back, and promised to give each of them five taels.
The benefits of gold. Although they were still scared to death, money and silk moved people's hearts. Someone still reached out and touched the gold. It was fine. He had the courage to pick up a piece, and it was still fine.
Seeing that their lives were not in danger, the ten soldiers became more courageous. They stood up one after another and began to move the gold on the ground. The more than 100 kilograms of gold were quickly moved. Hundreds of Jinyiwei families saw that the suicide squad members returned safely.
, now he felt relieved and asked his men to come over to receive the gold. Not only did they forget about the reward they had just promised, but they also asked the soldiers to carry back the bodies on the ground.
At this time, those soldiers refused to do it, and clamored for the Jinyiwei Baihu to honor their promise and to ask for an extra fee for transporting the body. Seeing that the Jinyiweibaihu wanted to take the opportunity to extract money, the Jinyiwei Baihu immediately got angry and glared at those soldiers.
Xiaobing glanced at him and directly ordered his men to do the work.
The reason why the Jinyiwei hundred households were so rebellious was not because he was greedy for money, but because the Jinyiwei had the rules of the Jinyiwei. When they get gold, they must first hand it over to the emperor, and then the emperor will reward him according to his merits. If anyone dares to withhold or share it privately, he will be punished.
severely punished.
The Jin Yiwei did not dare to touch this sum of gold, so they could only let their men go out of the city to collect the bodies for themselves. But as soon as the dozen Jin Yiwei got off the city wall, there was a burst of gunfire, and the four unlucky Jin Yiwei fell to the ground.
They all crawled back quickly, not daring to take another half step down the city wall.
He was shot twice in succession, but nothing happened to the soldiers when they went out. No matter how stupid the Jin Yiwei was, he could have expected that the rebels not only did not leave, but also made it clear that they would fight against the Jin Yiwei, and they were so angry that their eyes burned. And the officers and soldiers on the top of the city were on fire.
Seeing it, although I didn't say it, I was still gloating in my heart.
Bullying good people, dishonest words, and deserved to die, this is the thought in the minds of the officers and soldiers present. In addition to gloating about the misfortune, their favorability towards the rebels also greatly increased: the rebels are really loyal and only kill the emperor's hawks and dogs.
Kill ordinary officers and soldiers.
At this moment, on a hill about 300 meters away from the city, several gunmen carrying sniper rifles also took advantage of the night and left, because their purpose of alienating the defenders had been achieved. The next task of the rebels was
Just prepare how to attack the city.
In fact, the defense of Nanjing City is quite strong. Not only are there tens of thousands of defenders, but there are also many cannons on the top of the city to assist the defense. If they attack by force, Fang Zhongzhe knows that it will be difficult to conquer and the casualties will be huge.
As the leader of the rebel army, Fang Zhongzhe learned from the book "The Dream of Great China" that a fortress should be breached from the inside, so he was never in a hurry to attack the city by force. Instead, he used tricks to alienate the defenders in the city while secretly preparing to attack the city.
, in order to liberate the city of Nanjing at the minimum cost.
In the ruins of a village about one kilometer away from Nanjing City is the base camp of the rebel army. Fang Zhongzhe is sitting here to give orders. At this time, he is discussing siege tactics with several generals.
"Mr. Fang, the engineering team has built five siege vehicles as required. The brothers have also done actual combat drills and are ready to go to war at any time." A young general reported. He was Fang Zhongzhe's earliest follower and knew the statue of Fang Zhongzhe.
Just like Mr. Wan, he likes to be called sir.
Those five so-called siege vehicles should actually be called armored vehicles. Since the imperial court was huddled in Nanjing, the rebels took control of the iron smelting plant outside the city and used a large amount of steel to build armored vehicles. Except for the fact that they did not install a diesel engine
, these armored vehicles look very different from the tanks equipped by the Peking Army. They not only carry siege artillery, but also have gun holes, making them a powerful weapon for attacking cities and demolishing strongholds.
"That's good. Let the brothers become more familiar with the tactics. We will start attacking the city tomorrow evening. We must defeat the enemy in one battle." Fang Zhongzhe is not pursuing a victory in annihilating the enemy. After all, ordinary officers and soldiers and ordinary people are innocent and can not be killed.
Try not to kill.
While Fang Zhongzhe was discussing the details of the battle with his generals, a guard hurried into the palace and reported: "Mr. Fang, Special Envoy Xu has sent a special envoy to see you."
"Quickly, please invite them in." Fang Zhongzhe did not dare to neglect, because fundamentally speaking, without the secret assistance of the Republic of China, he really would not be where he is today. And Xu Qin sent a special envoy at this time, it must be after the agreement
We must maintain diplomatic relations, so such an important matter cannot be neglected.
