Chapter 711 Breaking the City

The battle at the head of Lingzhou City has become increasingly hot. The three walls have been broken through one after another, and the number of Tata people is increasing. The increasing number of the number of Tata soldiers is compressing the Ming army's foothold space. Fortunately, the ladder to the city in the rear has already been destroyed by Zhang An, which is the idea of working with the Tata on the wall to delay the time for the people to evacuate. In this way, the Taran soldiers and the Ming army each occupied half of the wall and launched an offensive and defensive war at the narrow top.

The number of the Ming army occupies an absolute disadvantage. Some soldiers continue to climb over the upper wall from the rear and gradually divide the Ming army. Over time, the casualties of the Ming army have become larger and larger, and have been cut into seven or eight sections and compressed into narrow areas.

Zhang Anxin sighed and looked at the confused scenery under the wild green mountains outside the city. There was no sign of reinforcements arriving. Looking at the soldiers who kept falling on the top of the city, he knew that there was no power to return to the battle. This Lingzhou city is not a city suitable for defense at all. It has a shallow moat and a low wall, not to mention cutting corners. If it hadn't been for this, it could have lasted for a while, but now it is helpless.

Zhang An threw away the blood-stained long gun in his hand and reached out to touch the long sword at his waist, which was a sharp weapon that his wife who was far away from Yansui personally selected for him. He was reluctant to use this sword on the battlefield. The sword given by his beloved wife could not be stained with the dirty blood of the Hartars, and at this moment, he wanted to end his life with this sword. There are 50 or 60 guards left beside him. The hand soldiers are rushing to the generals of Yan Sui, the three-grade Ming military officers, and the border town generals who have made many achievements. He can't let himself be captured and humiliated by the Tatars. He wants to continue his reputation so that his reputation will not be stained.

Zhang An leaned on the city stack, raised his sword across his neck, and the guards beside him shouted, "Your excellency, we will try our best to escort you away."

Zhang An shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Guys, see you in the afterlife. Let's be brothers again in the next life. You can also cut yourself. You can't be captured by the Taran."

The guards were dismayed and cried bitterly one after another. Zhang An's hand exerted hard, and the sword blade scratched the cold and tingling of the skin. With just a drag, he could cut off his throat and die immediately. However, at this time, I heard the noise of the gongs behind the city wall, and there was a sound of shouting and fighting.

Zhang An was stunned, stopped and asked, "What's going on? Are the reinforcements here?"

Several guards looked at it, pointed to the rear of the Tah and shouted, "It's the people. The people in the city came up to help fight."

Zhang An was shocked and said, "People? It's nonsense. Why don't they run for their lives? How can they be opponents of the Taks?

"Report to the general soldiers that there are thousands of people at the head of the city on three sides, and tens of thousands of young men in Lingzhou spontaneously organized to defend the city."

While talking, I saw thousands of people shouting from the corner of the city wall in front of them. They held iron forks and wooden shovels, carrying kitchen knives to kill pigs, and some holding rolling pins, shouting all the way. Thousands of Tattan soldiers in front rushed to Zhang An and others to annihilate the small Ming army in front of them, but when they heard the shouts, they had to turn around to deal with it.

Zhang An stretched out his hand and put the sword into the sheath, stretched out his foot and picked it up. The long gun on the ground was held in his hand and shouted, "In this case, let's fight for a dead net. Brothers, kill me."

The sudden reinforcement of tens of thousands of people ignited the small universe of more than 5,000 officers and soldiers left in the city. Regardless of the combat effectiveness of the people, at least the sharp rise in the number of people gave the Ming army a shot, and morale immediately rose a lot. With the rush of the young people, the Ming army soldiers Several sections of the city wall were quickly recaptured and hundreds of soldiers swept the city. After seeing clearly that the help was only ordinary people, the recovered soldiers were determined and immediately launched a fierce counterattack. Soon the situation was reversed. There were fierce fighting and killings everywhere on the three walls. The cruel scene could not bear to be seen.

After all, the common people are ordinary people. Even if they are gangsters in the market, slaughter dogs and pigs, they usually beat people and kill pigs and dogs without blinking an eye, but after all, this is a fight between people. There are two concepts: stabing pigs and dogs with sharp knives into people's stomachs, which is why civilians are never opponents of officers and soldiers. Your strength may be twice as thick as that of a soldier, but you will always be soft in killing, and most of the soldiers do not have such psychological obstacles. Their duty is to kill for the emperor. The two are completely different.

But the environment can change everything. When they look at the descendants of the neighbors and their close friends are cut into pieces by the machetes of the tare, the people will instantly stimulate their courage in their hearts. Without armor, no swords and weapons, they will block the way of the Tatars with their bodies and use iron forks and wooden sticks. The tartans smashed thorns on their ugly old faces; even they would desperately hug the tartans, bite them with their teeth, scratch them with their hands, and try to bite off their ears and noses and remove their eyes.

In the face of the fierce killing of the Tarots, the people showed a surprising fierceness. Many people would rather be hit by the bodies by the Tarots and only be able to get close to the Tarot soldiers, so they hugged them to death and dragged them down the wall. From time to time, dust and flesh and blood rose on the ground on both sides of the wall, which was the result of a group of people and the tars fighting together and falling off the city.

The Tartans were frightened by the suicide attack of the people of Lingzhou. On the east wall attacked by Tulu, it was Zhu Changshun and Zhu Changping who took the people to kill. The two brothers had no martial arts skills. Zhu Changping was still a student, but the two were not afraid and rushed to the front. In the first wave of hand-to-hand fight with the Tatans, Zhu Chang was stabbed seven times, sprayed blood in his mouth, and jumped down the city with a Tatano in his arms. Zhu Changping bit his teeth with tears and did not make a sound of crying. The iron fork in his hand crazily stabbed the tatar soldiers in front of him. If it hadn't been for the protection of him, his body would have been cut four or five times.

Such scenes are everywhere. The Taran soldiers did not expect the fierceness of the people of Lingzhou to be stimulated. In their memory, the people of the Ming Dynasty were soft persimmons. They looted the border of the Ming Dynasty and even captured the towns and villages of the Ming Dynasty. ** At that time, the people of the Ming Dynasty begged for mercy except for running away. How could they ever have such a bloody nature? I don't know what's wrong today. These people are all crazy.

The war is dead, the number of deaths has increased sharply, half an hour of fierce hand-to-hand combat, nearly half of the people reinforced in Lingzhou are killed and injured, and the Taterson soldiers have also paid the price of more than 3,000 people; these are nothing, the key is that the time has been delayed to the end. From morning to now, the Taran soldiers were also exhausted after several hours of continuous siege. Relatively speaking, the attacking side paid more than twice as much physical consumption as the defenders, and the full meal in the morning had already been exhausted. In the face of such a cruel fight, the momentum of the Tatar soldiers and horses was weakening. They were exhausted and had some doubts about whether they could take the city.

knows that this battle must continue. Once it is withdrawn and rested, all the previous efforts will be in vain; more importantly, he knows that Song Nan's army must be on the way here, and it may take days to feel it, but time is good for the baldness. Words are even more valuable. After taking Lingzhou and taking a little rest and replenishment, he will have to wave his army and point directly to Ningxia Town. It is the best situation to complete all this before Song Nan's army feels that it is the best situation. Otherwise, the Ming army brigade will chase after him closely and will create a psychological oppression and make things full of variables.

"Tell them that all the Ming army and rebelling against the people in the city must be solved from time to time, otherwise, all of them will come to see." The baldness gave the order to death.

According to this, the generals who attacked the city knew that there was no way out. Dahan was famous for sweeping the tribes. At the beginning, Dahan asked his seventh son Tu Jin to break through the tent of the first tribe within three days. Tu Jin did not do it, and Khan did not hesitate to cut his head. In terms of military orders, Khan has never been soft.

Tulu and other attacking generals bravely and ordered the final fierce attack, although the people of Lingzhou were not afraid of death, and although the Ming army fighting for their lives, they could not make up for the huge gap in strength. In two o'clock, the western wall was lost, and Huang Zheng led 1,000 Ming soldiers and more than 1,000 people to retreat to the city. In less than three o'clock, the east wall was lost, Wu Zhongxiao died in battle, and more than 2,000 Ming troops and people retreated into the streets and alleys of the city to fight back. After the loss of the two walls, Zhang An knew that the persistence of the south wall was meaningless. The Tarts would directly enter the city, and his side of the wall would be surrounded, so he took the initiative to tear down the wall and retreat to the city to start a street battle.

At the end of the year, all three-sided walls of Lingzhou were broken, and more than 20,000 Tatar soldiers rushed into Lingzhou City and launched a street battle with the desperately resisting Ming army and Lingzhou people in the streets and alleys. Half an hour later, more than half of Lingzhou City was already under the control of the Tats, and Zhang An led 3,000 remnants and 4,000 people to guard the last few to the North Gate. The main street will not retreat.

The remnant sun falling in the west shines in the city of Lingzhou. The fire in the city is full of thick smoke, and the sound of fighting is endless, and the sound of crying and fleeing is full of ear drums. He can personally take 10,000 soldiers to attack the last north gate of Lingzhou. He will occupy Lingzhou before dark; under the fierce impact of the tatarsars The Ming army was unable to defend the defense line, but they did not choose to withdraw from the North Gate, but bravely moved forward to fight with the Wanfu Bridge in front of Beichengmen Avenue.

Knowing that the overall situation has been decided, he has not paid attention to the thousands of people in front of him. In his opinion, these people in front of him are already dead. It is simply stupid to die here without retreating and fleeing. Riding on a high-headed horse, he waved his hand faintly, and the Tatsar immediately launched an attack. Dozens of horses flew side by side, and the horses' hoofs made a crisp click on the bluestone avenue, like a life-threatening spell.

Zhang An stood in the middle of the street with a long gun in his hand and stood up to welcome the arrival of this last moment. His eyes were a little calm. He had tried his best to fight against the battle of Lingzhou, but his troops were insufficient, and the city defense was poor, which was also God's will. He had no regrets. Today, he has a mortal heart, but when this moment comes, he and his thousands of Mingjun are very peaceful.

Papa!"

The strange roar resounded through the air. In the southwest sky of Lingzhou, three red colorful fireworks looked extremely eye-catching under the solemn blue sky in the evening. The three fireworks flew high and then burst in the air and slowly fell into the rain, looking extremely gorgeous.

He turned his head to look at the colorful fireworks in the distant sky. He was very familiar with the color, shape and sound of the fireworks. In the battle of Jing Fu, accompanied by the roar of the godless fire weapon in Song Nan's hand. See you at this moment, you can't help but feel creepy.
