Chapter six hundred and eighty seventh two counties established

In the first year of Chongqing, on the third day of the tenth lunar month, the sixth and seventh towns, which were fully equipped, marched from Tielong City, Shan County, and Andong Weigang, from Luhai to Xuzhou Prefecture and Huai'an Prefecture respectively.

The army was dispatched, invincible, and no one could stop him from the way the blade arrived.

It is just said that the sixth town led by the mayor Liu Guoneng and the deputy mayor Er Bilun, has more than 30,000 soldiers. Since the Iron City entered the boundary of Nanzhili, it has come straight to Feng County.

There were less than two thousand soldiers in Fengxian County. When the Tang army was overwhelmed by the overwhelming siege, they were already scared and were completely disheartened. After plundering the city, they abandoned the city and went straight to Pei County. At the same time, the guards immediately sent a whistle cavalry and rushed to Xuzhou City to report the news and ask for help.

At this point, the Tang army captured Fengxian without bloodshed. The entire army took a break and immediately followed the original plan and continued to march towards Peixian.

There were nearly 3,000 defenders in Pei County. With the two thousand soldiers and horses in Feng County joining, there were more than 5,000 defenders, which was slightly stronger. While they urgently strengthened the city defense, they also requested reinforcements from Xuzhou City.

However, the guards of Pei County sent a sentry cavalry to Xuzhou for help. The troops from the Sixth Town of the Tang Army had already arrived quickly and quickly surrounded the Han Emperor Gaozu's hometown.

At this point, the Pei County County quickly fell into an isolated and helpless state.

What made the defenders in the city very upset was that the Tang army was too lazy to even do the work of persuading surrender, so they immediately began to attack the city.

90 steel heavy dragon beating guns flashing with silver gray were slowly pushed one thousand meters outside the west gate of Pei County by Tang army gunners. Next, Tang army gunners began to fix the gun frame, adjust the firing angle, load gunpowder and shells, and soon made preparations for combat.

These 90 heavy dragon striking cannons lined up along Peixian County. These majestic dragon striking cannons and the black muzzles were directly towards the low city wall opposite. Their awesome aura made the enemy guarding the city so weak.

Good guy, these cannons look so scary, you can imagine how amazing the power and the feeling of breaking will be once they are released.

All the anxious defenders saw from a distance that a captain-like man in the Tang army raised the red flag in his hand high.

"preparation!"

"put!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

......

90 heavy dragon-killing cannons that had 32 kilograms of shells were immediately sprayed with bloody red flames and dazzling golden flames. In the thick and choking white smoke, ninety black iron bombs, with the sound of death, hit the city walls west of Pei County.

The huge impact that broke through the eardrums rang out continuously. These ninety black 32-pound iron bullets seemed to have eyes, and in a uniform distribution state, hit the west wall of Peixian County.

Sixty neatly arranged large holes appeared in the west of the entire city instantly. At the edge of each hole, thick and cracked lines were as dense as spider webs, spreading unscrupulously to the surround. Large pieces of bricks of the city wall splashed and cracked, and a piece of dust filled the entire city wall, and the entire city wall was trembling violently.

On the city wall, a large number of Ming army guards whose ears, eyes, nostrils and mouths were bleeding from their ears, eyes, nostrils and mouths were all shocked, and their qi and blood were surging. In front of them were covered by choking dust, and the city wall under their feet was shaking violently. As many as sixty or seventy soldiers with unstable feet fell off the city wall screaming and then fell into meat pie.

The troops of Liu Liangzuo, who were guarding the city wall to the west, suddenly became very confused.

They were originally weak in morale and could not stand the battle. Every day, they were able to oppress the people, but it was too forced to keep calm and combative under this powerful and fierce battle.

At this time, there was no need for human organization on the city wall on the west side. There were immediately hundreds of scared defenders. They screamed in horror as if they had seen the most terrifying thing in the world, and turned around and ran down the horse road in the city wall.

The chief general who defended the city was furious. He and his guards immediately dispatched urgently and slashed the soldiers who had retreated and fled. It was difficult to stabilize the situation again and restore the calmness of the city walls on the west.

As the city walls on the west side of Pei County finally returned to stability, the next round of artillery attacks of the Tang army began again.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

......

There were ninety black 32 kilograms of iron bullets, like heavy punches from the god of death, whistling in an extremely terrifying posture.

In the continuous and deafening impact sound, the broken bricks on the city wall were like rain and dust flew up all over the sky. The dense spider web cracks on the entire western city wall reached a more shocking level.

In the face of such extremely powerful violence and complete death, human struggle and resistance were almost a joke. The remaining soldiers of the defenders did not need to be mobilized. Someone shouted, and the guys immediately abandoned their posts and howled and ran away with their heads in their arms. Their escape was so firm and unstoppable, like a large group of crazy beasts, as if they could knock anything that blocked them to the ground.

Faced with such a situation, the chief general at the city was helpless and could only escape with the defeated soldiers, in order to form a new line of defense in the city to resist the Tang army.

At this time, the third round of artillery bombardment of the Tang army began again.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

......

A dazzling fire flashed, and the choking smoke floated up. Ninety thirty-two kilograms whistled away. The huge iron bombs hit and the dull sound of the city wall collapsed, which made people feel heartbroken. After this bombardment, the city walls on the west side of Peixian County, nearly twenty places were broken, and almost half of the city wall area completely collapsed.

At this time of the battle, the entire Ximen City Wall had been completely destroyed. Liu Guoneng, the mayor of the Sixth Town of the Tang Army, finally began to issue a loud order to attack.

"Transfer our military orders to allow 6,000 musketeers to advance in a straight line and eliminate all the enemy troops encountered in front. In addition, the gun and shield battle formations are arranged behind the musketeers to protect them to prevent the enemy from attacking. In addition, the rampant movement is divided into two parts, left and right, covering the flanks!"

"Get orders!"

Soon, in the Tang army's army, more than 9,000 musketeers, each holding a Fusou Lumi musket, lined up in a straight line, and walked forward with the sound of drumbeats.

And behind them was a row of gun shield battle formations that were straight as straight as straight lines, maintaining five or six steps away from the musketeers in front of them, following in silence.

On both sides of the entire battle formation, there were three layers of armor, everyone holding heavy weapons, and the rampant team members like mecha monsters were divided into two parts, firmly protecting the two wings. Facing the Tang army musketeers who rushed towards him like machines, Liu Liangzuo's troops guarding the entrance of the street, they didn't feel both trembling, and everyone's face was full of fear and panic.

The chief general of the defender standing behind the formation looked at the long strait of Tang army musketeers, his face became more and more despaired, and the despair in his heart was beyond words.

In fact, at this point, the situation was decided. With the city walls broken and the enemy could only be trapped in the streets, the enemy had become a turtle in the jar. Apart from surrendering, they had no way out at all.

However, the enemy was still fighting stubbornly, and they stood firm in silence, as if they thought they could defeat the Tang army with courage and persistence.

In this silence, the Tang army's musketeers were getting closer and closer. When they were sixty steps away, the musketeers stopped moving forward, arranged in two rows of squats and back standing, and began to aim at the target in front and shoot.

"Bang bang bang bang bang bang..."

Two rows of muskets were fired at the same time, and the bright red flames of the two rows of muskets flew like flying and shaking ribbons. The thick and choking white smoke rose up again, causing the entire position to become a white state of invisibility. Among the 9,000 muskets, more than 7,600 poles were fired, and countless tiny three-cent heavy lead bullets formed a dense rain of death in the air, making a soft scream, and shot out at the panicked defenders on the opposite side.

The small lead bullets were like gray murderous bees, roaring with any object they encountered in front of them. Many of the defenders guarding the front row immediately bloomed with blood flowers like magic tricks. The people who were hit, as if they were suddenly hit by a heavy hammer, fell backwards on their backs.

The continuous screams immediately rang out. The intensive shooting caused at least 600 enemy soldiers in front of the enemy troops who had shields to block them, and were shot from the lead bullets, either dead or injured and wailed.

The Tang army's fierce volley attack made the enemy troops who were fighting stubbornly unable to resist, and they no longer had the courage to continue fighting, and they completely collapsed.

Countless enemy troops were fleeing like frightened wild boars, fleeing wildly. At this time, no military discipline or punishment could restrain them. These defeated soldiers ran around the city like crazy, and no one could stop them from running away.

Seeing the Tang Army's fierce attack, these subordinates suffered so much casualties. The guards, who were closely guarded by a group of guards, had their faces as white paper and were trembling all over.

No, we can't let the Tang army continue to shoot like this. If the Tang army continues to fight like this, no matter how many soldiers and horses they have under their command, they will only become living targets for the Tang army and will only die in a cowardly and depressed manner. Moreover, in such a state of nearly massacre, the defenders who are willing to stick to them will have problems with their heads.

"The whole army obeys my order! Immediately shoot out the white flag and surrender to the Tang army!"

The guard finally shouted this sentence helplessly, but the guard next to him immediately waved a large white flag, lifted it into the air, and kept shaking it hard.

"Brother Tang Jun, don't shoot, we are willing to surrender, we are willing to surrender!"

Hearing the unintentional shouts of the defenders in the city, Liu Guoneng, the commander of the Tang army, immediately ordered all the musketeers to stop shooting and accept their surrender.

Soon, more than 4,000 remaining defenders in the city abandoned their weapons and, under the leadership of the chief general, left the city in dejectedly to receive surrender.

After annihilated nearly a thousand enemies in this Pei County siege, the Tang army finally took down this city with 5,000 enemy troops in a very short period of time at the cost of slightly injured several people.

This is a modern army with sufficient firepower and strict organizational discipline, and a complete victory over these ancient armies of the Ming and Qing dynasties.

The guard general was pushed to the Tang army commander and Liu Guoneng, the mayor of the Sixth Town, by two Tang soldiers.

Liu Guoneng sat upright and looked at the defeated general in front of him with a condescending attitude, with an unbearable smile on his face.

"Who is the one who kneeling down? Let's call me?" The deputy mayor of the town next to him shouted in a deep voice.

Ebilun, the current deputy mayor of the Sixth Town of the Tang Army, the former son of the Aisin Gioro clan of the Qing Dynasty, and the eldest son of the former leader of the Zhenglan Banner Banner, Manguertai, who crossed the sea to join the Tang army, has been no longer as abnormal as ordinary Han people in the past few years. He speaks Chinese very fluently, and no longer has the original strong Manchu accent.

The guard general did not dare to look up and replied in a trembling voice: "The little bastard named Liu Deshun, a child of Liu Liangzuo's tribe. Because he has always followed him and has gained deep faith, he was appointed as the guard general of Pei County. He was under the rank of the underworld and could not recognize Mount Tai and fought against the army. At this time, the city's defensive Fang led his army to surrender, which was a big mistake. I hope the general..."

"Enough." Liu Guoneng interrupted his words coldly and shouted angrily: "Although you are stubborn in our army, fortunately you still have the ability to surrender in time. Otherwise, I will definitely slaughter all your troops and horses, and not keep any of them!"

Hearing Liu Guoneng's murderous words, Liu Deshun was so scared that he immediately fell to the ground, kowtowing like a pound: "A little dog is so brave that he does not know the power of the heavenly soldiers. He dares to offend the general. It is a death sentence. I hope the general is still in charge of my family's eighty-year-old mother..."

"Shut up, I don't have time to listen to you fart." Liu Guoneng waved his hand, interrupted his boring words, and asked again: "I will spare your life and will not kill you again, and will smear your hands in vain. That book asked you, do you know, what general is stationed in Xuzhou City now, and how many troops are there?"

Liu Deshun was stunned and replied hurriedly: "Report to General, now Liu Liangchen, the younger brother of Liu Liangzuo, is stationed in Xuzhou. Since he fled back from Dalinghe City, he has been working under Liu Liangzuo. He was appointed as the commander general of Xuzhou in August this year. There are still more than 40,000 troops in Xuzhou. Xuzhou is strong and has sufficient guards, but I am afraid that the general will be unable to overcome it for the time being."

Hearing Liu Deshun's words, Liu Guoneng frowned and pondered.

If the enemy's army had more than 40,000 people and defended such a strong city as Xuzhou City, it would be difficult to conquer it in a short time. In this case, it would be better to consider it carefully.
