It was really hard to live under constant bombardment. However, I was afraid of the reputation of the Living King of Hell and did not dare to go out of the city to fight.
In Shatuo Town outside Hequ City, Tie Mo and Man Gui have been here for three days. To be honest, they are worried about whether they can stop the peasant army in Hequ City. Xuan Mansion and Datong Mansion
Troops were sent out at the same time, but the actual number of troops invested was not too many. Compared with the hundreds of thousands of peasant troops in northern Shaanxi, they were simply insignificant and insufficient. This time Zhang Xianzhong sent heavy troops to attack Yinzhou Pass, and Tiemo and Manchu
Gui had not expected this before.
It is said that Zhang Xianzhong ate a turtle before and should have been huddled near Mizhi and Qinghe River. This time, he went out of his way and gathered a large number of troops to help Zhang Cunmeng. Although Zhang Cunmeng was nominally Zhang Xianzhong's boss, could Zhang Xianzhong listen to Zhang Cunmeng?
If you want to repel Sun Kewang's attack, you must send troops to Yinzhou Pass for reinforcements. You only have so many troops and horses. To achieve your goal, you must transfer all the cavalry under your command. As a result, Hequ City will not have enough troops.
Because of this, Tie Mo and Man Gui were really afraid that Zhang Cunmeng would become ruthless and send troops out of the city to counterattack, which would definitely reveal their secrets. At this time, except for He Jingyuan's Fiery Camp, the only ones left outside Hequ City were musketeers and cavalry.
They were all transferred away. As for the more than 200 cavalrymen cruising on the front line, they were completely intimidating.
If Zhang Cunmeng sent his troops out of the city to fight, Tie Mo and Man Gui would have no choice but to retreat to Shenmu City in despair. With the few troops in hand, it would be wishful thinking to block Zhang Cunmeng's tens of thousands of peasant troops.
Precisely because he was afraid that Zhang Cunmeng would leave the city, Tie Mo decided to order the Liehuo Battalion to divide into three teams and take turns bombarding Hequ City. He wanted to use artillery to put heavy psychological pressure on the peasant army in Hequ City.
Tie Mo is the only one who dumps artillery shells like this for free. Tie Mo is very clear about the situation in Agni Fire Camp. At most, he can bombard for two more days, and soon there will be no more artillery shells.
At that time, he didn't know any other way to trap the tens of thousands of peasant troops in Hequ City.
Man Gui was deeply worried, holding his chin with one hand, with a solemn expression, "Can this old boy Zhang Cunmeng really hold his own, really not send anyone out?"
"This is a good thing. If Zhang Cunmeng is really determined to fight for our lives, then we really have no choice." Tie Mo smiled helplessly. This battle was completely different from what he thought before. This quagmire in northern Shaanxi
, I really couldn’t step in easily. I couldn’t help but want to add more troops to the river several times, but I finally resisted.
Increase the number of troops in Hetao and use troops on a large scale against northern Shaanxi. It is estimated that before the war is over, the finances that the Yun Mansion has managed to support will be destroyed. Now the Yun Mansion is barely able to support it. Hey, the war is all about money and materials.
, In this regard, Yun Mansion's foundation is still too weak, and it has to slow down for a period of time every time it fights a battle.
After all, the Ming Dynasty's treasury was too poor. Why would it go through such trouble if it could allocate millions of taels of military pay and supplies?
Tie Mo and Man Gui were worried, and Zhang Cunmeng was also uneasy. Zhang Cunmeng, who was in Hequ City, his head was buzzing from the constant bombardment. How could he think about too many things? In other words, Tie Mo's reputation was too intimidating.
In the past two years, they had fought several times, and Zhang Cunmeng was beaten to the point of being afraid from the bottom of his heart. In this land, Zhang Cunmeng tabooed three people. The Living King of Hell was the first one, and the other two were Sun Chuanting and Cao Wenzhao.
Every time he fights against the Living Hell King, the opponent always comes up with some new tricks. This time it’s even worse. They don’t attack the city, but use artillery bombardment. Zhang Cunmeng is a little envious of the other party. The Living Hell King is really rich. He even wants to build a door cannon.
It's not easy, but people are good at it. Cannonballs are just like cornballs, just throw them around.
"Huhu, strictly order all the ministries. No one is allowed to leave the city without my order." Zhang Cunmeng made up his mind not to leave. He figured it out. As long as he didn't go out and relied on tens of thousands of troops to guard Hequ City, the other party would also
There was nothing he could do about it. The living King of Hell kept firing off cannons. It was clear that he wanted to anger the people in the city and start a fight outside the city.
In fact, this cannot be entirely blamed on Zhang Cunmeng. The people Zhang Xianzhong sent to deliver the message were all stopped outside the city. Since the cavalry was transferred, Tie Mo and Man Gui ordered a strict defense and strictly prohibited living people from approaching Hequ City. But Zhang Xianzhong was dreaming
He didn't expect that the news would not be delivered to Hequ City. He thought the messenger was trapped in Hequ City.
Moreover, even if there is no news, under normal circumstances, Zhang Cunmeng should be able to make a basic judgment. The officers and soldiers outside the city did not attack the city, but only used artillery to bombard it, and the cavalry was obviously much less. Under normal circumstances, Zhang Cunmeng would also send out soldiers and horses to test
Suddenly. However, Zhang Cunmeng was really a little bit confused, and because he was afraid of Tie Mo, he chose what he thought was the safest strategy.
Here in Hequ City, both sides are in torment. Tens of thousands of peasant troops are trapped in Hequ City. They are bombed every day and cannot sleep well. It is simply a life worse than death. The officers and soldiers outside the city are also on tenterhooks, living like years, for fear of the farmers in Hequ City.
Jun suddenly ran out.
The strange situation in Hequ City did not affect Yinzhou Pass. At this time, the battle at Yinzhou Pass was in full swing. Sun Kewang led his troops to capture most of Yinzhou Pass with bravery beyond all expectations.
Under the sky, dust and smoke fill the air, and the earth is full of desolation. Sun Kewang has his long sword on the ground, and his burly body is like a god of war. Although his armor is in tatters, his tiger eyes are shining. In order to conquer this half of Yinzhou Pass, the price paid
It was too heavy. After the fire, the burning smell stimulated everyone's senses. That man was really too cruel. He lowered his head and a few drops of sweat fell on his arms. Sun Kewang stared ahead, filled with hatred. This battle
, we must kill Geng Zhongming and let him go to hell to forgive his sins.
At some point, Liu Wenxiu walked closer and felt the hostility emanating from Sun Kewang's body. He couldn't help but shudder. He was too familiar with Sun Kewang. When Sun Kewang said nothing, it meant that he was already in a situation.
On the verge of madness. The crazed Sun Kewang is a terrifying beast.
"Geng Zhongming and Shang Kexi gathered their remaining troops and retreated to the north. Chen Yaofeng was also repulsed and has now joined Geng Zhongming. It seems that the other party wants to make a final resistance and will fight us desperately!"
Just after Liu Wenxiu finished speaking, Sun Kewang grinned and revealed an evil smile: "Do they want to fight to the death? Then there must be this opportunity. I will send them all to the Palace of Hell to avenge the dead brothers."
Pulling out the steel knife, Sun Kewang strode forward. After resting for half an hour, he felt that his whole body was full of strength. At this moment, his heart was surging, and only blood could calm his fiery heart. Killing was his only wish.
Yinzhou Guanbei City has now become a place of intensive killing. Chen Yaofeng ordered his soldiers to set up countless traps and pits along the way. When the peasant army entered the city, every step forward meant that someone would die. Entering street fighting, the battle changed.
Got to be more cruel.
The street fighting in the city was even more fierce. There were hidden arrows, tunnels, and traps. Every few feet forward, the peasant army had to pay the price of several or even dozens of people. From midnight to noon, the 20,000-strong army only advanced three feet.
Halfway through, the further north, the more intense the resistance from the officers and soldiers was. At noon, the peasant army took a short break and ate something, but Liu Wenxiu had no appetite at all. By this time, even he admired Geng Zhongming a little. This man was really capable.
Only a few thousand people managed to hold out at this small Yinzhou Pass for two days. We must hurry up, because once Geng Zhongming is wiped out, Yinzhou Pass defense must be organized.
Liu Wenxiu was having a hard time, and Geng Zhongming was not much better either. At this time, his face was covered in black and gray, and his head was wrapped with a white cloth. Just before, a stray arrow flew towards him, but fortunately he was protected by a helmet. There were still two hours left, and then
The reinforcements will definitely be able to complete the task of bypassing the rear in two hours, but the soldiers under their command suffered heavy casualties. The peasant army was much more ferocious than before. It seemed that everyone was not afraid of death and fought desperately to attack the city. Although the Xuanfu soldiers were brave, they were still human.
After a few hours, only more than 2,000 people survived.
There are more than 2,000 people left in hand, most of whom are wounded. With the wounded, only more than 1,200 can really be beaten. With these people alone, they have to face the siege of nearly 20,000 peasant troops and have to hold on for two more
Time is difficult, it is really too difficult, but Geng Zhongming knows that he cannot retreat. If he exits Yinzhou Pass, General Iron Soldier’s plan to defeat this peasant army will be ruined. Now he is trying his best to delay it, hoping that reinforcements can
Come quickly.
The peasant army, which had rested for less than a quarter of an hour, once again launched a fierce attack on Yinzhou Guanbei City. This time Sun Kewang listened to Liu Wenxiu's suggestion and ordered 10,000 people to cooperate with the attack from both sides outside the north city wall. Qian Zhuo also led troops on the east and west sides.
Approaching the side of the city, it can be said that Sun Kewang came out in full force this time. Peasant troops came from all directions, and Geng Zhongming immediately felt the tremendous pressure. He only had more than a thousand soldiers to fight, which was nothing more than holding up his arms to block the car. After deep thought,
Next, Geng Zhongming made a surprising decision. He asked everyone to evacuate the city and gather them all at the north city wall and north gate.
Geng Zhongming had no choice but to do this. He was betting that he could hold on for two hours and that reinforcements could arrive before the North City Gate was breached. He concentrated all the remaining soldiers on the north wall, although he held all his strength
It is tight, but it also puts everyone under the sight of the peasant army. If reinforcements cannot arrive in time, these people will have no place to escape.
On the north city wall, Geng Zhongming took off his armor, revealing his strong upper body, and punched a long knife on the ground. He looked at the smoke-filled Yinzhou Pass, and then at the scarred soldiers, with a hint of determination in his eyes.
Color, "Are all brothers scary?"
"Don't be afraid!" Many soldiers roared with their bare eyes. At this point in the war, there was nothing to fear anymore.
The officers and soldiers gathered at the north city wall. Sun Kewang stood in front of everyone and shouted angrily, "If we fight today, we will never return until Yinzhou Pass. Who can take Geng Zhongming's dog head and a thousand taels of gold!"
There must be brave men under the heavy reward. This time the peasant army was even more brave. Every step they took was a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. At two seconds, the peasant army finally attacked the north city wall, and Geng Zhongming only had more than 500 people left in his hands.
Gather these people in the middle of the north city wall with the purpose of guarding this area of the city wall and the north city gate.
In Zaolin Village, south of Yinzhou Pass, Zhou Dingshan, Orge, and Lou Daji cavalry have all gathered here. At this point, the back roads of the peasant army attacking Yinzhou Pass have been blocked by officers and soldiers. When the map is spread out, Zhou Dingshan's eyes are revealed.
With all his energy, he said in a deep voice, "Now that Geng Zhongming has pinned all the peasant troops at Yinzhou Pass, it depends on you all whether this battle can end the crisis in the Hetao."
"Don't worry, General Zhou. We will go all out and not let any of the traitors escape."
Zhou Dingshan nodded slightly, with the corners of his mouth raised, revealing a hint of a sneer, "The whole army sets off and rushes to Yinzhou Pass with all our strength. We must save the life of General Geng Zhongming!"
"Here!" Liu Guoneng got on his horse and gave an order. The cavalry, which had been resting for a long time, galloped northward. Tens of thousands of cavalry galloped, and the momentum shook the world. Liu Guoneng knew the burden on him. He had to save Geng Zhongming's life. For Xuan Xuan,
As far as the government was concerned, Geng Zhongming was a hero. If he had not insisted on holding Yinzhou Pass, the plan of more than 20,000 peasant troops to outflank the retreat would not have been successful.
War clouds are thick, under the same sky, life and death, the breeze rises, the drums and horns sound, the sunset is bloody and red
On the northern city wall of Yinzhou Pass, Geng Zhongming held on to the battlements. At this time, his hands were already weak and he could no longer use any strength. He looked at the sun in the west, which had become dim. It was the time of the unitary hour and what he had to do had been done.
Where are the reinforcements?
The officers and soldiers on the city were furious, and the peasant army was also the same. In order to capture Yinzhou Pass, Liu Wenxiu personally went into battle. Seeing that he was about to capture the northern city wall, Liu Wenxiu finally showed a smile.
"Generals move forward, the dog officers and soldiers can no longer hold on"
Wuwuwu, a shrill horn sound sounded, followed by the feeling of the earth shaking. Liu Wenxiu's smile froze on her face. It was a cavalry. Only a large group of cavalry can cause such a shocking movement. Haha.
, the cavalry cannot be from the peasant army, it can only be from the officers and soldiers. Liu Wenxiu looked at the dark sky and laughed miserably. Why is God so unfair? Why can't he be given another half an hour?
Geng Zhongming also smiled, but it was a smile of relief and release. When he saw the swarming cavalry in the distance, he slumped directly on the city wall. Finally, it seemed that Commander Tie had not given up on him. This battle
It's miserable, but worth it.
Qian Zhuo and others looked pale and had trembling lips. The Xuanfu cavalry arrived and the battle was over.
After paying a price of more than 10,000 people, they still could not win it in the end. What they would encounter next was the continuous influx of reinforcements from the Xuanfu. Liu Wenxiu knew very well that now his troops had no fighting spirit, and they would not have the fighting spirit to fight until now.
, more than 20,000 brothers not only paid a heavy price, almost never rested, but now the only thing that supports the soldiers is to capture Yinzhou Pass. Now that the opponent's reinforcements have arrived, there is no hope of capturing Yinzhou Pass, which has maintained the morale for a long time.
Collapse directly.
Liu Wenxiu found Sun Kewang and sighed in pain, "Brother, give me the order. The plan for now is to unite the army to meet the enemy. As long as we can fight a bloody road south, everyone will still be alive. If we don't fight, we can rely on half
It is really impossible to deal with the officers and soldiers at Yinzhou Pass."
