The Chinese defenders were firing desperately, while the rebel soldiers charged forward quickly regardless of the bullets flying everywhere. Even the bombardment of heavy artillery could not slow them down at all.
Seeing the opponent getting closer, Liu Mingzhao said loudly: "Freely attack with grenades." All the soldiers began to throw grenades desperately. Although the grenades caused heavy damage to the opponent, there were not many grenades after all, and each person only had four.
There were only five bombs, and there were hundreds of thousands of enemy troops on the opposite side. Even though the enemy was knocked upside down by the explosion, it still couldn't stop the opponent's charge.
"Draw your sword and charge me." Chen Junhe, Liu Mingzhao and Zhao Xiao, commander of the 1st Guards Division, almost issued the same order. The two divisions from Tubo County drew their thick-backed swords and charged forward, and the villa militiamen also charged with bayonets.
After going up, even Fang Xiaoyu's guards were sent out.
The battle was extremely fierce. The two sides seemed to have returned to the era of cold weapons. They used their knives to attack each other's vital parts. There was no sound of gunfire anymore. There was only the sound of the big knife hitting the meat and the click of the knife when it penetrated the flesh and cut into the bones. Although
The Guards Division and the militia were both very brave, but after all, the Chinese leadership had a small number of people, and over time they began to become exhausted.
At this moment, a strange sound of artillery sounded, and a small-caliber artillery shell exploded in the rebel rear, blowing up three or four soldiers. Xiahouhuan, who was extremely surprised, looked back and saw four strange-looking iron weapons.
The box was rushing towards them, followed by thousands of soldiers.
"There is an enemy attack from behind." Some soldiers discovered something was wrong. Although the number of the opponent was not large, the rebels who had low morale still made a lot of commotion, especially when they found that the guns in their hands hit the iron box without any impact.
When it didn't work, the rebel soldiers began to flee one after another due to the enemies on their backs and the fear of the iron box monster that could fire cannons. When they found that they could no longer stop their retreat, Xiahou Huan had no choice but to flee for his life.
The Wild Leopard Regiment was rapidly chasing the enemy with four tanks as the guide. Seeing this situation, Fang Xiaoyu and Wang Xuan immediately mobilized all their forces to follow behind. Xia Houhuan's defeated troops saw the pursuers getting more and more
As they got closer, the first thing they thought of was that there were Cheng family troops in the capital, so they all fled towards the capital in unison.
Fang Xiaoyu, who was chasing after him with all his troops, couldn't help but curse secretly. If he had known that the chariots could achieve such a sensational effect, he might as well have taken them out from the beginning. If he had taken them out, his side might have won the victory long ago.
.
No matter what, he finally won. Fang Xiaoyu decided to follow the broken army and invade the capital in the chaos. Cheng Yuhuan was not among the escaped soldiers. He felt relieved after seeing that the number of troops led by the Chinese Army on the opposite side was not large yesterday.
Come, I have rushed back to the capital overnight and luckily escaped.
At this time, Cheng Yuhuan no longer cared about Lanting Villa. The most important thing for him now was to collect the wealth of the capital and at the same time make the second prince ascend the throne and become his puppet.
Cheng Yuhuan has an almost perverted desire for money. In recent years, due to intentional or unintentional suppression by the Chinese leaders, the Cheng family's property has shrunk a lot. Now he urgently needs to use this opportunity to make a big fortune. For this reason, he not only asked familiar officials to keep the inventory
Yin's household secretary Cheng Wei led people to inspect the household warehouses, and also asked his third son Cheng Feng to control the royal family's wealth. He went from house to house to search for famous wealthy households in the capital in the name of searching for rebels.
Since Cheng Yuhuan has been working in the capital for many years, he knows exactly who is rich and who is rich here. Therefore, several people who are not worried about the front line lead people to search for money. All the troops of the Cheng family are scattered throughout the city.
There is no preparation for the coming crisis.
The Cheng family soldiers at the city gate were there to prevent wealthy households from escaping. They were sitting idle in the city gate chatting with each other, when suddenly the smoke in the distance made them alert.
A company commander immediately ran up to the tower, put up a pergola and looked into the distance. He found that running towards him was a troop wearing yellow military uniforms, which were the uniforms of the Imperial Guards of the capital.
He breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out to be one of his own, but he was a little strange. Why were the soldiers of the Xiahou family running around in such no formation? Some of them didn't even have weapons in their hands. When he looked behind the team, he couldn't help but collapse.
Taking a breath of cold air. Led by the four chariots, all the soldiers of the Chinese and Tibetan coalition forces went into battle and chased closely behind.
"There is an enemy attack." The company commander's shrill shouting alerted many soldiers who were searching the residences under the city. Before these soldiers could realize what was going on, the defeated Xiahou rebels had already entered the city.
The Cheng family soldiers guarding the city gate originally planned to prevent them from entering the city, but the waves of broken soldiers rushed into the city before they could stop them, and rushed the guards into the city involuntarily.
How could the Xiahou family's defeated troops and the Cheng family soldiers scattered throughout the city be opponents of the incoming coalition forces? What's more, the weapons of the coalition forces can take a great advantage in street fighting. Under the organized attack of the coalition forces, the Cheng family troops
There was chaos without any structure.
Cheng Yuhuan, Cheng Wei and Cheng Feng, father and son, were also bundled up and abandoned all the looted treasures and fled to the south. However, they did not forget to take the second prince with them before escaping. The coalition soon took control of the city.
.Fang Xiaoyu was dumbfounded when he saw the mountains of treasures, but he quickly reacted and immediately ordered his troops to block the news and put the entire city under martial law. All the treasures were sealed in the imperial city and heavily guarded.
"Uncle, what do you think we should do next?" At this time, Fang Xiaoyu asked Wang Xuan for his opinion.
Wang Xuandao: "What do you mean by the wise nephew?"
Fang Xiaoyu said: "We have occupied the capital. Should we wait until the reinforcements arrive, we will hold the capital and use this as a stronghold to spread outward. As long as the troops in the Chinese territory and my uncle's Tubo County cooperate, it will not be difficult for us to control the Central Plains area."
Wang Xuan smiled and said: "Control the Central Plains area? The feasibility is very high, so what happens next? Nephew, what do you think will happen next?"
"Then?" Fang Xiaoyu really didn't think that far ahead.
Wang Xuan smiled and said: "Don't forget that the Xia family supports the descendants of the Xiahou family, and the Xiahou family also has great power in the counties of the East China Sea. Several major figures of the Cheng family have escaped, and they also took away two of them."
Prince, if we occupy the capital and then control the Central Plains region, several families will regard us as their biggest enemy and they will unite to attack us."
Wang Xuan was very seductive to his future son-in-law: "The Xia family controls hundreds of thousands of regular troops. Although the Xiahou family does not have a large army, it has a navy. The southwest region where the Cheng family is located is the most densely populated area in the Lanfang Empire. Do you think they
Will there still be a shortage of soldiers? Even if your Chinese leading army is strong enough to subdue them, it will attract a large number of your troops. If other powerful countries are disadvantageous to you, you will be very passive."
Fang Xiaoyu nodded repeatedly while listening to Wang Xuan's explanation. He was so mesmerized by the population and economic scale of the Central Plains that he did not see the huge crisis. Now the Lanfang Empire is in dispute between four families. Whoever occupies the counties in the Central Plains will win.
It is very dangerous to face all the firepower of other companies.
Wang Xuan continued: "Now the wealth of the entire capital has been collected by that old man Cheng Yuhuan and delivered to our hands. As long as we have this wealth, what are we afraid of? You can sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and wait until several companies are exhausted.
Then come out to clean up the mess, what you have to do now is not to occupy the Central Plains, but to rely on the Chinese Territory to gradually encroach on the surrounding counties and slowly advance forward."
Fang Xiaoyu nodded and said: "I understand, thank you uncle for reminding me."
Wang Xuan smiled and said: "You have many talented people. Even if I don't wake you up, they will tell you the stakes. You are welcome."
Fang Xiaoyu looked at the treasures that were being brought into the palace one by one, swallowed his saliva and said, "These treasures belong to both of us. Once they are shipped out of the capital, we will divide them equally."
Wang Xuan smiled and said: "My only daughter is going to marry you, so why should we divide it between us? There is no need to share it with me, just treat it as a dowry for Xiaoling." Faced with all this wealth, Wang Xuan was very generous and complete.
No more.
Now that he was ready to abandon the capital, Fang Xiaoyu decided to leave as soon as possible. After all, the nights were long and there were many dreams. Who knew which force would come to attack him? Reinforcements could be encountered on the road, but he had to move quickly.
The treasure is very easy to handle. It is transported using the No. 2 patent. It does not matter if there are not enough freight cars. Although the railway station in the capital does not have a locomotive, there are still many spare and under-repair carriages, which are all hung on the back of the special train for transporting the treasure. Fortunately
The special train has four locomotives and the power is sufficient.
Even though there are a large number of wealthy carriages available, there are too many treasures in the capital. It was not until all the carriages were packed that all the treasures were stuffed in. From then on, many people who knew the inside story nicknamed it No. 2
Specially designated as a gold train.
The treasures took up all the space, and there was no place for people to sit, so they had to collect a large number of carriages and follow the train at a slow speed on both sides of the railway. As for Lanting Villa, Fang Xiaoyu had to give up temporarily.
All the equipment in the factory area was destroyed by the explosives that Fang Xiaoyu had installed just in case. Unfortunately, Cheng Yuhuan was too stupid and was beaten back and did not enjoy the feast of explosives prepared for him.
Fang Xiaoyu and others sat in a carriage and slowly moved forward near the overwhelmed train that was also unable to pick up speed. As soon as they entered the land of Shannan County, they noticed a train speeding towards them in the distance. After their own train blew a shrill whistle,
, the train on the opposite side began to slow down. Fortunately, the railway here is double-tracked, so there is no danger of the two trains colliding.
Seeing Fang Xiaoyu's group, many compartment doors of the train that had just stopped across the street opened one after another, and a large number of armed soldiers jumped out of the car and formed a formation.
