Boom... a shell fell, and in the dust and smoke, Zeng Qian roared crazily, as if he had already forgotten what kind of environment he was in. Xu Beichuan's eyes widened, and he wanted to shout something,
But before he had time to open his mouth, after a roar, Zeng Qian was no longer in sight. He searched hard and finally found Zeng Qian under the battlements. However, Zeng Qian was twitching at this time, and one of his hands did not know where it landed.
The corner of his mouth was covered with blood, and it was obvious that he was hopeless.
Xu Beichuan's liver and gallbladder were splitting. At this time, he was so helpless and so scared. He had forgotten all his previous ambitions. Those thoughts of a decisive battle were ridiculous. Zeng Qian was killed in this way.
He didn't even leave a word. He knew that the new artillery was terrible, but he still underestimated the power of the artillery. This kind of artillery fire can be called a divine thunder and has long been beyond the reach of human beings. Xu Beichuan, whose confidence was almost crushed, huddled up
Behind the battlements, his whole body was shaking violently. His mind was filled with the tragic situation of Zeng Qian, and the blood in his mouth was like a butcher knife tearing open a new house.
On the other wall of Tongling City, a poor peasant soldier was lying behind the wall. This used to be a place for people to relieve themselves, but now it has become a place for saving lives. Just now, the head of his team was blown up by a cannonball.
He flew down from the top of the city, fell to the ground, and died. The city walls were already going crazy. This kind of endless bombing was terrible. The officers and soldiers' artillery shells seemed to be free of charge. They were going to blow up Tongling City.
Already?
Outside Tongling City, Xu Zhixin was deeply shocked when she saw the overwhelming artillery fire. At this time, the sturdy Tongling City was like a fragile chick, neighing in pain in the thick smoke. Shells fell one after another and continued to spread.
, black clouds rose up and connected into one, wrapping up the entire Tongling City. A thick fog came over there, which was a black and red mist, carrying death and wailing. The earth was shaking, and the heart was beating a little bit.
Collapse. Everything in front of her was beyond Xu Zhixin's understanding of war. She had never thought that a battle could be fought like this. Before this, no one had ever told her that firearms could dominate the entire battlefield.
For some reason, she felt that the pattern of war had begun to change at this moment. Under such artillery fire, what tactics were effective? In front of the steel furnace, all bravery became insignificant. No matter how powerful the body was, it would be under the gunfire.
The smoke disappeared.
The new artillery is scary, but what is really scary is Tie Mo next to him. This man has opened up a new mode of war, and he has used artillery to the extreme. However, this artillery coverage style seems to be very luxurious, at least for the current Ming Dynasty.
Only Tie Mo could play like this in the past. If anyone else had fired like this for half a cup of tea, the artillery would probably have misfired because there were no shells.
Similarly, this man is courageous and ruthless enough. You must know that there are not only rogue bandits in Tongling City at this time, but there are also tens of thousands of Tongling people. Since the capture of Tongling City, the bandits have gathered nearby people into the city for the purpose of
In order to prevent the imperial soldiers and horses from attacking Tongling City, they would use rat weapons. However, in Tie Mo's eyes, these things seemed to not exist.
Under this artillery fire, the rogue bandits will naturally be blasted to the point of crying for their fathers and mothers, but the common people in the city will probably suffer as well.
Xu Zhixin was thinking about her thoughts and clasped her hands unconsciously, "Iron Governor, you ignored the people in the city and bombarded Tongling. Have you ever thought that you will be impeached by many people in the future, and even the people all over the world will regard you as an alien?
!”
Tie Mo was observing attentively. When Xu Zhixin asked, he was slightly startled, and then smiled contemptuously: "Miss Xu, if you had experienced those cruel wars, you would not ask such a question. This is
During the war, Tie Mou was thinking about how to reduce casualties among his brothers, rather than killing fewer people. This is a battlefield, and everyone swept in cannot escape. Innocent? Who is not innocent here? "
Gradually, Tie Mo's voice became a little heavy, "Impeachment? I have never been afraid of them. As for the public opinion in the world, I don't even care. What do others say? Do you care? As long as the tens of thousands of soldiers under Tie Mo's command stay.
If you don’t give up, Tie will have nothing to fear.”
Xu Zhixin stared blankly at Tie Mo's back. At this moment, she seemed to recognize the man in front of her again. No wonder the bandits called him the Living King of Hell. This man's behavior was completely different from ordinary people. He didn't care about the rules at all, let alone others.
vision.
There is a strong aura of killing in him, and that kind of bravery and bloodthirsty can only be possessed by generals who have been at the border in the north all year round. There are some words that Xu Zhixin cannot understand. Perhaps it is because she has never experienced it.
A real war. I have been living in the rich southern Zhili, and the war is really far away. The so-called leading troops is just participating in some training in the Beijing camp.
The bombardment continued, and in the smoke, only the painful screams could be heard far, far away. Anyone who understands knows that it is only a matter of time before Tongling City is breached. The difference is how many rogue bandits can survive.
people.
Tongling City was suffering under artillery fire, and in the northwest, Zheng Guosong, who originally wanted to return to Tongling City, was also caught in a bitter battle. The artillery fire in Tongling City was too terrifying, and Tan Ma had already learned about the situation in Tongling City.
Needless to say how important the city is, Zheng Guosong was so anxious that he ordered his troops to speed up and almost gallop back to Tongling. Unfortunately, when approaching Baping Town, they encountered a roadblock.
A group of cavalry rushed out from the south of Baping Town, splitting the entire team in half in the blink of an eye. Due to the rush to return to Tongling, the formation was inevitably stretched out as quickly as possible. Now that the cavalry is attacking, they can only watch helplessly.
Then the entire team was cut off at the waist and divided into two groups. Zheng Guosong was also experienced in the battlefield. Seeing the costumes of these cavalry, he knew that he had encountered the most difficult Yunfu cavalry.
"Don't mess up, shield hand... Come to the front, everyone, don't run around, gather together..." Zheng Guosong knew very well that he must not mess up, let alone run away. As long as he escapes
, without the protection of the formation, they can only become the dead souls under the cavalry sword. The terrifying thing about the Yunfu cavalry is not the frontal charge, but the ruthless pursuit. On the battlefield in northern Shaanxi, how many brothers were killed
This cavalry killed almost the entire army.
Zheng Guosong stayed calm in the face of danger and urged his soldiers to form a compact square formation. In the past two years, he had fought many battles with the Yunfu soldiers and horses, and Li Zicheng had not made any progress at all. At least, in order to deal with the cavalry, Li Zicheng's men figured out a way
The hook-and-scythe-gun combination with the shield formation is a style of play. This style of play was copied from the Yun Mansion, but it is a copy, but it really works.
After getting through the initial panic, Zheng Guosong gradually stabilized his position by relying on this turtle formation. The cavalry charged several times, but failed to break through Zheng Guosong's turtle formation, and instead suffered some damage.
Centaur.
Seeing this situation, Liu Guoneng frowned and ordered to his deputy Jin Chenwu: "Tell each team to kill the traitors outside and don't rush into the formation. In addition, separate some people to exchange muskets and let me take a detour outside.
Harassment."
The rogue bandits organized a defensive formation in time, and Liu Guoneng did not attack in order to reduce casualties. The mission this time was to hold back Zheng Guosong, not forcefully. As long as the governor could capture Tongling City in time, Zheng Guosong's thieves
, all he had to do was escape. Next, it was definitely Zheng Guosong’s most difficult time. Since the team was divided into two parts, although his front army organized a good formation and blocked the impact of the officers and soldiers, the brothers behind him were not so good.
Good luck. Due to the sudden incident and the intensive care taken by the officers and soldiers, thousands of people were killed and fled in all directions, which was a disaster.
After suffering some casualties, the cavalry decisively chose to retreat and did not continue to charge into the formation. They held muskets and looked for opportunities from a distance. Half an hour later, while the formation was moving back, someone fell down from time to time.
Not many people died under the gun, but the blow to morale was too great. A gunshot meant there were casualties. Who could guarantee that the next gunshot would not be you who fell?
Zheng Guosong felt bitter in his heart. According to this situation, there was no chance of rushing to the aid of Tongling City. As long as he dared to speed up his retreat and the formation dispersed, these clinging cavalry would definitely pounce on him.
...
In the south of Tongling City, Tie Mo looked at the crumbling Tongling City in the distance, with swords and pestles on the ground, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Wang Zuogao also had a relaxed look on his face. If he was a little worried before, he can say that everything is safe now.
.Zheng Guosong's troops have not been able to return to Tongling City to aid them, which means they will never be able to return to Tongling.
This bandit soldier stationed in Nijianghe Town is an elite soldier under Li Zicheng, and has always been the biggest variable in the entire Tongling battlefield. Now that this soldier and horse are locked up by Liu Guoneng, there will be no room for resistance in Tongling City.
A soldier came on horseback from a distance. He was so anxious that his forehead was covered with sweat. After approaching, he turned over and dismounted, and ran all the way shouting: "News, urgent news from Sanchexia, the thief general Du Jianwen is leading his troops to leave Datong."
, has now arrived at Sanche Gorge and is heading towards the rear of our army."
After hearing the news, Tie Mo and Wang Zuogao's expressions changed greatly, and Xu Zhixin beside them also frowned slightly. The bandits in Datong City dared to send troops north to rescue Tongling City, which was definitely something no one expected. In Tie Mo's case,
It was expected that the thieves would be able to defend Datong and they would have already burned incense. Give them some courage and they would not dare to go out to fight at this time.
But there are always accidents, and this accident happened to Tie Mo and others. Who would have thought that among the thieves, there would be an alien like Du Jianwen. Du Jianwen did this, it seemed that he was going to die, but in fact it hit Xuan
The weakness of the government's soldiers and horses. After all, Tie Mo's troops were very limited. What's more, at this time, Zhou Dingshan's soldiers and horses had to deal with Lujiang matters, so their arrival at the Tongling battlefield would be delayed.
In other words, at this time, in Tongling, the rear of the Xuanfu soldiers and horses was almost empty. In Tie Mo's expectation, as long as Zhou Dingshan could arrive with his troops in time and threaten Datong, the rear would be as stable as Mount Tai. However, he met Du Jianwen
This alien, this guy was so decisive. As soon as the fighting started in Tongling City, he led his troops and horses and left Datong City.
"Superintendent, do you want to order General Liu to lead his troops back for reinforcements? With General Liu's speed, he will definitely be able to catch up with Du Jianwen and guard the rear of our army!"
As soon as Wang Zuogao proposed it, Tie Mo raised his hand and shook it, "No, if we do this, we will lose the threat. Zheng Guosong will seize the opportunity and quickly enter Tongling City. In that case, it will be very difficult for us to capture Tongling City."
Much more.”
"This...but the rear of our army is empty. Sanchexia is only two hours away. Is it possible to temporarily stop the bombardment of Tongling City and let Liehuo Battalion turn around and deal with Du Jianwen first?"
Although Wang Zuoguan said this, he also felt that it was unreliable. The continuous bombardment was to create pressure on the Tongling defenders, killing and injuring the rebels and at the same time destroying the opponent's determination to defend the city. If the bombardment was stopped,
If you give the rebel soldiers a chance to breathe, all your previous efforts may be wasted.
Sure enough, Tie Mo rejected Wang Zuoguan's proposal without even thinking about it. He untied his cloak and put the machete on his shoulder, "Where is Chen Yaofeng? Pull your people over and talk to the governor.
Go to Sanchexia. Hey... I haven't fought in battle for a long time..."
Tie Mo licked his lips, with a trace of madness and desire in his eyes.
Wang Zuoguan was startled and quickly stopped Tie Mo, "You can't do it, supervisor. Otherwise, let General Chen lead the troops to resist for a while. If that doesn't work, let's turn the gun. We can stop attacking Tongling City for the time being. You
Nothing can happen!"
"Mr. Wang, don't say any more, it's just decided. I'll leave the matter here to you, Chen Yaofeng...don't be stunned...come with me..."
Tie Mo walked away immediately, got on his horse, and rushed out with a machete. Wang Zuo's anxious eyes almost popped out...
Since entering the Yun Mansion, it has been rare to see Tie Mo personally go into battle to kill the enemy. If something happens to Tie Mo, the Yun Mansion will fall apart immediately? You know, Tie Mo still has no heirs. Xu Zhixin did not expect that
Tie Mo would do this, the dignified supervisor, pick up the knife and go to the battlefield. What kind of trouble is this?
Chen Yaofeng didn't dare to fart, so he lit up his troops and horses and rushed out after Tie Mo.
Xu Zhixin's beautiful eyebrows knitted together, she hesitated for a moment, then got on her horse and rushed over.
Wang Zuoguan was extremely worried. The current situation was completely different from what he expected. If any problem happened to Tie Mo or Xu Zhixin, Nanzhili would be shaken.
In the blink of an eye, Tie Mo led thousands of elite soldiers and met Du Jianwen's soldiers and horses. Du Jianwen was in a hurry to rescue Tongling. Without any unnecessary nonsense, he directly ordered everyone to rush forward. Tie Mo galloped forward on his horse.
The ghost-headed sword flew left and right, and the sword was deadly. Although he had not been in battle to kill enemies for a long time, his skills in his hand had not declined.
"Ah...my arm..."
The Ghost Head Sword slashed diagonally and cut off a strong man's arm, causing the man to scream in pain.
Du Jianwen quickly noticed the man who was slashing with a knife. When he took a closer look, he became excited.
He was actually the Living King of Hell, and he actually went into battle to kill the enemy himself.
