On this day, the peasant army in Shenmu City finally experienced the terror of a new type of artillery. The continuous rumbling sound shook the entire Shenmu City as if it were wrapped in thunder, and they were so scared that they did not dare to open their eyes.
On the high slope, Elizabeth held a pen and kept recording various data. The overheating of the gun barrel, the rate of fire, and all other data must be clearly observed. After a while, she frowned. There was an artillery that was firing rapidly for thirty seconds.
Several cannonballs malfunctioned, and cracks appeared in the barrel. Alas, it seems that after the weight was reduced, the bearing capacity of the barrel was also reduced.
In half a day, the Agni Fire Battalion had Shenmu City behind, but Liu Guoneng gave an order, and all the troops withdrew from the battle in an orderly manner and stationed themselves at Niuxin Fort, five miles away from Shenmu City. Xuanfu and Datongfu attacked quickly and fiercely.
, obviously had the advantage, if the fight continued, Shenmu City might not be able to defend for a day or fall. He suddenly withdrew and did not continue to attack the city, which was beyond everyone's expectations. Zhao Ronghe, who was stationed in Shenmu City, was naturally very happy, but he was
Zhang Cunmeng in Hequ was not happy at all.
The officers and soldiers were stationed not far from Shenmu City. They stood still and seemed to have no intention of continuing the attack. This was not a good thing. The officers and soldiers came this time just for the Hetao Plain. They withdrew their troops in the middle of the battle. Don't say they were unhappy.
, even the imperial court would not allow it. The more Zhang Cunmeng thought about it, the more uneasy he became, and he kept pacing in the room, "What do these imperial eagle dogs want to do? Do they want to attack Ningxia or Suide?"
The spies were sent out, and the news came back at the time of You, that no trace of officers and soldiers was found in the Suide and Ningxia defense areas, and everything was as usual. Zhang Cunmeng was a little confused at this time, and did not continue to attack Shenmu City, nor did he take action against the Suide and Ningxia defense areas.
Are the officers and soldiers really planning to give up halfway? But looking at the officers and soldiers' previous offensive, it doesn't look like it's a joke.
Suddenly, Zhang Cunmeng thought of something, his expression suddenly changed, and he shouted outside, "Go and notify Baihan Valley immediately, and tell him to be careful in the rear. The officers and soldiers may make a sneak attack."
Zhang Cunmeng's heart was beating violently. All this must not become a reality. I hope he is overthinking it. Baihan Valley is confronting Orger in Changle Fort. The two sides are at a stalemate. If an elite soldier appears in the south of Changle Fort at this time,
If a sudden attack were launched, Baihan Valley would definitely be defeated. It seemed foolish to abandon Shenmu City and go around to attack a group of troops outside the city, but Baihan Valley was guarding Changle Fort.
Who is Baihan Valley? That was a thorn in the side of the imperial court. This person hit the imperial court in the face several times, and the beatings were particularly severe. The imperial court ordered the Shaanxi soldiers and horses several times to destroy Baihan Valley at all costs. However, the Shaanxi soldiers and horses were weak.
There is no way.
This time the troops were led by Tie Mo and Man Gui. Needless to say, Man Gui, Tie Mo is also famous for being bold. If these two people really want to destroy Baihan Valley, what can't they do? As long as they destroy Baihan Valley, they will be able to do it.
It was a great achievement to make the imperial court feel bad.
In the past, there were many instances of military generals taking refuge, including Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, but the imperial court had never been so ruthless. Baihangu's position was really too high. He was the deputy commander-in-chief of Ningxia, and he was the deputy commander-in-chief.
Zhang Cunmeng's soldiers rushed to Changle Fort, but after all, they reacted a little late. At this time, a cavalry was quickly running along the north-south corridor of the Hetao towards Changle Fort. Along the way, the cavalry did not deliberately hide, and they were not afraid of being discovered by others.
Even if they are discovered, they can reach Changle Fort before the messenger. The person leading this cavalry is none other than Zhou Dingshan, the most capable general under Tie Mo.
As evening approached, Zhou Dingshan looked at the surrounding terrain and asked the guide beside him: "What is this place?"
"Back to the general, the name of this place is Sihezhuang, and twenty miles ahead is Changle Fort!" Seeing Zhou Dingshan's serious expression, the guide introduced him more seriously, "This place is surrounded by high slopes, as if surrounded, and there is only one in the south.
Tao, so it is called Sihe Village."
Zhou Dingshan frowned and thought deeply. After a while, he called Chen Yaofeng over to give instructions. After a while, the cavalry team of more than 3,000 people was divided into two.
The twenty-mile journey from Sihezhuang to Changle Fort is neither short nor far. For an elite cavalry, it only takes a quarter of an hour. In the middle of Youshi, the spies placed outside by Baihan Valley finally
He was aware of it, but at this time, Zhou Dingshan had already led his troops to Changle Fort. What was the use of discovering it?
Southeast of Changle Fort, on a vast plain, Zhou Dingshan's troops have already made contact with the reserve team in Baihan Valley. They had suffered a lot of losses after a series of fierce battles with Org, and the teams that had withdrawn to rest were arranged to the villages in the southwest.
. It was supposed to be the safest place, but it turned out to be the most dangerous. Zhou Dingshan led his troops to kill suddenly, and these people became a group of unlucky ghosts.
Since no one expected that there would be danger in the rear, everyone retreated just to rest and recharge their batteries. Who thought about strengthening the alert? It can be said that the temporary military camps in the southeast and southwest directions of Changle Fort were instantly destroyed.
The trampled and scattered soldiers were driven to the Chinese army camp in Baihan Valley.
Orger, who had been waiting for a long time, naturally would not miss this opportunity. He cheered up and attacked again with his troops. Orger and Zhou Dingshan's two cavalry, attacking from the north and south, quickly compressed the remnant army in Baihan Valley on the narrow height of Changle Fort.
Slope area.
At this point, the situation is irreversible. Without a miracle, Baihan Valley will definitely be defeated. Baihan Valley's face was ashen, and he kept scolding Zhang Cunmeng and Zhang Damou. These two bastards, armed with heavy troops, could not stop the officers and soldiers in the south. After all their hard work,
After blocking Orger, they actually allowed the officers and soldiers to rush over from the south easily.
Although the high-sloping terrain temporarily blocked Orger's attack, failure was only a matter of time. Orger was unable to attack because he had cavalry under his command.
Cavalry, this is an extremely valuable unit, but what the Xuanfu is most indispensable for now is cavalry. The only one who can send so many cavalry to attack Changle Fort at one go is the General Iron Soldier. He has to find a way to escape.
Well, once you are entangled by Orger or Zhou Dingshan, it will be too late to escape. If you want to escape under the hooves of the cavalry, it will be as difficult as climbing to the sky.
He surrendered to Abadai and the bandits all in order to save his life. For Baihangu, staying alive was the most important thing. Sitting under a big tree, listening to the sound of fighting getting closer and closer, in his eyes
There was a flash of cold light, and he secretly clenched his fists.
"Cheng Dazhu...Wan Liangxi, you two will each lead your troops to the north. You must stop that barbarian Org for me. I will lead our troops to the south. In this battle, it depends on whether everyone can resist
We formed a rope to block the opponent outside Changle Fort. As long as we stay up until late at night and rely on the cover of night, we can escape..."
Cheng Dazhu and Wan Liang were delighted to hear this, and they did not dare to neglect themselves. At this time, they had no choice but to fight to survive. They knew very well that the people under their command had more choices, and they, the leaders, had no way of turning back. Even if they surrendered,
, the imperial court will still settle old scores.
The two of them turned around and left, and no one noticed a hint of unbearability flashing in Bai Hangu's eyes. Soon, Bai Hangu took a long breath, turned and walked to the other side.
The northwest direction of Changle Fort has entered the most brutal stage. Orger has already dismounted and led his men to rush up the high slope. Wan Liangxi arrived with his troops and drove Orger down without saying a word. Orger did not want to behead him.
The credit for killing Baihangu fell to Zhou Dingshan. Seeing Wan Liangxi blocking it like this, he was furious, "I gave it to you a few days ago. Do you really think I can't defeat Changle Fort?"
Orger was heartbroken and asked his lieutenant to go back and mobilize his troops. Immediately half of the people dismounted and joined the battle group with swords and bows. The group of men under Orger were all warriors of the Naiman tribe in the past. These people were able to fight immediately.
Horses are no worse than others.
Wan Liangxi and Orger fought together, and the two sides fought repeatedly in the northwest of Changle Fort, and the battle became more and more fierce. Similarly, Cheng Dazhu also felt uncomfortable and could only support himself.
The afterglow of the evening gradually fell, and it seemed that night would fall at any time. But for Baihan Valley, night came too slowly, and I really hoped that the day would not be so long. The battle situation between Wan Liangxi and Cheng Dazhu kept coming, and he knew that the two of them
It can't be blocked for much longer. Maybe half an hour is the limit, and he can't wait any longer. Bai Hangu clenched his right hand and roared secretly in his heart.
Baihangu gathered more than 500 men from his headquarters and headed towards the bottom of Changle Fort. However, he did not rush to rescue Wan Liangxi and Cheng Dazhu, but broke through to the southeast. Now Zhou Dingshan is still destroying the soldiers and horses in the west. I don't know if it is an oversight.
No extra troops and horses were sent to block the southeastern road, which also gave Baihan Valley an opportunity to break out.
After the successful breakout, Baihan Gu did not dare to stay for a moment, and fled southward with all his strength, and the direction of his escape was Sihe Village. After passing Sihe Village, turn to the east and approach the meander of the river, then you will be safe.
At the moment when Baihan Valley broke through, Zhou Dingshan and Orger's offensive became much more intense. Especially on Zhou Dingshan's side, the number of people joining the attack seemed to have increased a lot. After Zhou Dingshan defeated the enemies in front of him, he went north to protect Orger and wipe out Wan Liangxi.
and Cheng Dazhu. At this time, Wan Liangxi and Cheng Dazhu already knew about the breakout and escape in Baihan Valley. The remaining soldiers' morale collapsed and they had no intention of fighting. When Zhou Dingshan came with his troops, many people didn't even think about escaping and directly chose
surrendered.
Wan Liangxi and Cheng Dazhu led dozens of remaining soldiers to fight and retreat. When they approached the Chinese army camp in Changle Fort, they were killed by musketeers ambushing here.
After annihilating Wan Liang Xike Cheng Dazhu, Orger hurriedly found Zhou Dingshan and said unwillingly: "General Zhou, you are not needed here. You should go after Baihan Valley. The Green Wolf King gave us the order, but we must not hesitate."
No matter the cost, I will destroy the one with the surname Bai."
Orger looked unkind and had a look of reluctance. In order to encircle Baihan Valley and destroy this guy, Orger pretended that the attack was unfavorable and stayed in Changle Fort for a long time. If not for the purpose of destroying Baihan Valley, Orger would have defeated the enemy in front of him.
Breaking through the defense line of Changle Fort.
Zhou Dingshan smiled slightly and said calmly: "Why worry, don't worry, Baihan Valley can't escape. Depending on the time, he should have arrived at Sihe Village."
...
Night finally fell, but Sihe Village was no longer peaceful. Bai Hangu led the remaining remnant soldiers, broke into the quiet Sihe Village, and robbed all the food on the village. After grabbing the things, he did not dare to delay for a moment, and hurried to the village.
Rushing south. As long as they leave Sihe Village, no matter how powerful those cavalry are, they can't help but defeat someone.
Along the way, Baihan Gu was really frightened. The direct soldiers and horses under his command were already battle-hardened, but after fighting against the Yunfu cavalry, he understood what the real elite was. Before, he encountered a small group of cavalry, which was...
In one encounter, more than a hundred people were killed. So far, the number of people who have fled to Sihe Village is less than 300.
Bai Hangu's heart was bleeding, and he didn't have many ideas about the future. After losing so many people, life on the side of the rebel party would not be easy in the future. On the side of the rebel party, it all depends on strength, the more soldiers and horses there are.
, the harder the fist.
Taking advantage of the cover of night, Bai Hangu rode forward panting, but after running for less than a mile along the Sihezhuang path, he heard a roar and several huge trees rolled down, blocking the road ahead.
Bai Hangu was horrified. Just as he was about to turn around, desperate exclamations came from behind him, "No, there's an ambush, and the intersection behind is blocked."
The hope that was just ignited was shattered in an instant, and life was full of ups and downs, so that was it.
Bai Han Gu raised his head with difficulty. At this time, there were already torches on both sides and crowds of people. "Haha, Bai Han Gu, your grandfather Chen Yaofeng has been waiting for you here for a long time. If you know what you are looking for, please dismount your horse and die."
Chen Yaofeng couldn't hide the excitement in his heart, and even the hand holding the knife trembled a little. General Zhou asked himself to ambush here, thinking it was a unnecessary move, but he didn't expect that a big fish was actually waiting for him.
Baihan Valley, this is the guy that the imperial court has longed for and even dreamed of destroying.
At this time, there was no need to say anything. Bai Hangu knew that hope was almost lost, but he was unwilling to let him sit back and wait for death. Even if he knew that there was little hope, he would still try. Under the night,
Baihan Gu led his own soldiers to climb up the high slope. Unfortunately, everything was in vain. Gunshots rang out and people kept rolling down the slope.
Bai Hangu groaned, and two blood holes appeared on his chest. Just like that, he ended his sinful life in a daze.
The death of Baihan Valley heralded the complete annihilation of this rebel army. Similarly, without the protection of this local snake army, there was no obstacle to the north. Orger and Zhou Dingshan marched straight in, and Shenmu became an isolated city.
In Shenmu City, Zhao Ronghe was already panicking. Can this lonely city stop the next attack by the officers and soldiers?
Soon, the officers and soldiers gave the answer.
With the arrival of Orger, the officers and soldiers launched another attack on Shenmu City, and the rumbling sound of artillery sounded again. Finally, a piece of the long-disrepaired city gate on the east side of Shenmu City was blown down.
