Chapter 217 Opening the palace gate tomorrow morning
The military orders uploaded at the Meridian Gate were not ignored by the young army. Fang Zhenghua continued to lead the young army to fight outside the Meridian Gate as if he had not received the military orders.
Guan Ning's army is neither a Qing army nor a Chuang army. They are equipped with a large number of three-eye fire blunderbuss. Although the accuracy and long-range shooting of these weapons are average, the impact is still quite large in close combat. The Youjun army is not equipped with the best firearms.
Not bad, but they don't have armor. When they built the small military camp, they didn't think about dragging them to the battlefield now. How could they be equipped with armor?
The young army without armor immediately suffered casualties when faced with the three-eyed gun attack of Guan Ning's army. However, these half-grown children refused to retreat, and even when their companions arrived, they continued to fight. In the end, someone actually held him in his arms.
The ignited grenade rushed towards Guan Ning's army's camp.
Since the establishment of the New Army, the most brutal war he fought was against one of his own, Guan Ningjun, and such a cruel war happened right in front of Zhu Youjian. He saw batches of young army babies falling before his eyes.
, Zhu Youjian stood on the head of the Meridian Gate City, trembling all over.
"Fang Zhenghua, I'm going to kill him! What is he doing!" Zhu Youjian, whose teeth were trembling, said this with a trembling voice! Why did the battle end like this? A group of adults were in the city
Overhead, I watched a group of dolls charging to kill.
The battle lasted for more than three full hours, with the tenacious young army fighting against their own adult force several times over. Until Guan Ning's army temporarily stalled due to too many casualties.
With tenacious perseverance, the young army rushed to the Meridian Gate. Now they are temporarily safe. The defenders at the top of the city can provide them with certain fire support. For this temporary safety, more than half of the more than 2,000 young troops suffered casualties, and many more were injured.
We can continue fighting until we have a thousand men.
"Prepare ropes and drop these dolls into the palace." Seeing that the fighting had stopped, Zhu Youjian quickly ordered people to rescue the remaining people of the young army back to the city. Guan Ning's army was just outside the palace and did not charge into the formation.
Personnel, once the palace door is opened, it is easy for Guan Ningjun to rush into the palace.
After the rope fell, Fang Zhenghua climbed up along the rope. Once on the city wall, Zhu Youjian scolded him: "Who asked you to make your own decisions and organize a small army to rescue him? Why didn't you listen to my military orders and lead people?
Withdraw to a place where it is easy to defend! How can you make me feel at ease with a bunch of dolls coming to my rescue?"
"Your Majesty! In such a time of national calamity, I should die for you! Who would care about your life and not come to rescue me? Even if I die, I will not fail to come."
"What do you want me to say? Okay, let's not talk about these things for now, and quickly let the young troops enter the palace along the rope one by one. The children's bodies will be collected after they are finished."
"Your Majesty, the children of the Young Army will not retreat into the city."
"Fang Zhenghua, what on earth are you going to do? Don't you think the young army has been defeated enough?"
"Your Majesty, it is not because I am unwilling but because my military spirit cannot be violated. I entered the palace just to tell Your Majesty that the entire army of the young army is willing to die outside the Meridian Gate."
"Fang Zhenghua, I order all the young troops to withdraw to the palace city."
"Your Majesty, I will fight to the death in the city!" After saying this, Fang Zhenghua got up without waiting for the holy order, and fell down the city wall along the rope he had climbed up before.
Everything was in chaos. As Founder went down to the city, many students from the general school also climbed down the city wall along the ropes. They were infected by the atmosphere of the young army's deadly battle and were ready to sacrifice their lives to fight this national disaster. On top of the city,
The new army, looking at the students from the General School Hall filing down, couldn't stop shouting. For a moment, the entire palace city was shaking with extraordinary momentum. All the soldiers defending the city seemed to be determined to die.
"Your Majesty, the morale of the army is available. This time Guan Ning's army will not be able to attack the palace city." Chen Xingjia looked at the shouting soldiers defending the city and encouraged the emperor with great emotion.
The military morale is available, but the problem is that without the support of combat power, the military morale that is mobilized is of little use. Guan Ning's army is not an ordinary soldier. If it were an ordinary soldier, relying on the 10,000 to 20,000 new soldiers and this morale, it would be able to fight a war. power.
But the Guan Ning Army is different. They are not only experienced in military formations, but also have sufficient firearms and equipment. Objectively speaking, for the New Army system, the Guan Ning Army is a more difficult opponent than the Qing Army. These soldiers of the New Curtain, as long as they turn around, In a positional battle, they will definitely be overwhelmed by Guan Ning's army, there is no doubt about it.
"That's all, let you fight." After saying that, Zhu Youjian walked into the Meridian Gate Tower and waited for the development of the matter.
Wu Sangui, who was under the city, also had a heavy-faced expression at this time. A group of child soldiers from the Young Army frightened Guan Ning's army. It was not because of the strength of the Young Army, but because of their desperate fighting style. Guan Ningjun was a little frightened.
Even though they are hard-hearted, they will feel a little compassion when they see the young children falling down in droves. Guan Ningjun is not a foreigner, and they still have some feelings of the same race in their hearts.
"Xinshui, Longshan, today we need to attack the city all night long. If we delay too long under the palace city, we will die without a burial place!" Wu Sangui called his confidants Hu Xinshui and Xia Longshan to start the work for them. The final mobilization work. For things like the coup that Guan Ningjun did this time, the speed must be fast. Not to mention that it will take a long time and reinforcements from outside will come, but if they can't capture the palace for a long time, Guan Ningjun himself will collapse. .Although in advance there were various pretense that the emperor was fatuous and traitorous ministers were in power, so that the soldiers below him would work with them, but as time went by, the soldiers had their own ideas, and even Wu Sangui's immense ability could not suppress the situation.
"Don't worry, general, we will definitely attack the palace city at dawn tomorrow." Hu Xia and Wu Sangui assured Wu Sangui in a firm tone.
Wu Sangui was not at ease only with the guarantee of these two people. He was also a first-line warrior. After giving instructions to his subordinates, Wu Sangui personally put on his armor and led his elite servants to attack the young army's formation.
Looking at the bonfire burning at the top of the city, Zhu Youjian looked at the dwindling number of young troops and generals. He felt bad. "The big companion made a decree to open the palace gate early tomorrow morning to let the Wu thieves enter the palace. The new army The entire army of the Sixth Division made an assault and joined Liu Yuanbin and others on the western front. After leaving the city, he also conveyed the message to Cao Ruohai and others, asking them to go to Xuanhua to join Liu Yuanbin. Then all the new troops went to Shaanxi and returned after seeing Sun Chuanting. He is restrained. You personally bring my decree to Sun Chuanting and tell him that I have handed over the entire Han family to him, and let him take his own troops and all the new army for the sake of all the Han people in the world. Try to protect Shaanxi and Sichuan! As for whether he is loyal to the prince, I will not make any demands. Just tell him that Shaanxi and Sichuan are the foundation of the Han family and there is no room for loss. As long as he does this, he will be worthy of me. !”
Zhu Youjian is not going to play anymore! He has experienced death before, and it is not that scary. Maybe this death will return to the next generation and continue to live his own peaceful life. He really can't bear to see thousands of child soldiers in his own One by one fell down in front of me, but there was nothing I could do!
