Chapter 35 Kecheng
(Today is Monday, and I'm still used to it. First, I'll ask you for a few red tickets to decorate the facade! Hey hey! Don't be stingy!)
Wu Dalie fell on the wall tiredly. At this time, he didn't know where his official hat was lost. In just two or three days, he seemed to be more than ten years old, and his whole body seemed to be exhausted! Moreover, one of his arms was also hit by Xing Tianjun in the morning. Fortunately, the projectile just brushed his arm and did not hit him directly. Otherwise, it would have been estimated that his arm would be useless at this time. But even so, his arm was swollen and could not swing his sword at this time.
After more than two days of fierce battle, Wu Dalie had already used all his strength, which aroused the morale of the defenders and blocked the two-day fierce attack of Xing Tianjun.
But by the third day, the defenders have also reached the end of the crossbow. Although they have killed and injured a lot of members of the Xingtian Army in the past two days, they do not have any advantage in weapons. The other party's rows of gun shooting have caused heavy casualties of the defenders in the city. They are already very military strength. Limit, after two days of fierce fighting, the defenders in the city have basically lost.
Some of the defenders were dissatisfied with the long-term lack of pay. They fought desperately in the city, but they protected Zhu Cai, the stingy king of Wan'an in the city. Obviously, they worked hard here, but Zhu Cai, the king of Wan'an, guarded his wealth, but refused to take out more to reward the officers and soldiers who guarded the city.
There are also those palace guards sent by Zhu Cai to assist in defending the city. They usually show off their power one by one on the border of Yongning County, but when they are sent to the wall, many palace guards are so scared that they peed their pants. There are not many people who really cooperate with the defenders to resist, but many people nestled under the wall and are scared to piss off. Liu did not dare to go to the city to guard, and even some people simply took off their military uniforms at night, sneaked into the city, and found a safe place to hide. In this way, the limited defenders were even more dissatisfied, and they were unwilling to fight desperately when they fought.
By this time, all Wu Dalie's energy had been exhausted. He knew that in any case, Yongning County could not insist on Luoyang's officers and troops to help. Although there were still some defenders at the mouth of the city wall to make the final resistance, with each row of ringing, several defenders on the head of the city would fall. However, more and more long ladders have been put on the wall, and some of the guards of the royal palace have begun to escape from the wall and flee in the direction of the royal palace.
The sound of the thief army shouting everywhere on the southeast wall of Yongning County. In several places, the soldiers of the thief army have climbed up the wall and fought with the officers and soldiers defending the city.
Wu Dalie lamented, pushed away a government official who wanted to help him, picked up his Qingfeng sword from the ground, and staggered towards the nearest place of fierce battle.
When he held the city and looked down, he saw the ladders on the wall. The attack launched by the thieves outside the city today can be said to be the most ferocious attack in the past three days. The front of the team were basically the leaders of the thieves. They led their subordinates and set up the long ladder. On the wall, he didn't care about the rolling wood and gravel thrown above his head, and attacked the wall like a mad tiger. More thieves and munitioners stood fifty steps below the wall, constantly casting platoon guns at the wall, making the bricks on the wall fly around, so that the defenders on the wall could not get up and look up. In order to cover many thieves climbing towards the wall.
Wu Dalie staggered to the front of a long ladder at the mouth, continued to roar in a hoarse voice, and commanded the officers and soldiers who did not dare to look up under the mouth of the wall to stand up to resist, but his words fell, and a projectile hit his chest.
The huge impact made Wu Dalie fall to the ground on his back. He opened his mouth and spit out a large mouthful of blood. He struggled to reach out and touch the wound on his chest. A large amount of blood was gushing out of his wound and quickly soaked his body. He coughed a few times and spit blood one after another, slowly Slowly stretched out, he lay on the ground, looked at the blue sky, and muttered, "Your Majesty! I am also loyal to the country today..."
As soon as Wu Dalie died, the defenders in the city completely collapsed. Seeing a large number of Xing Tianjun's troops rushing to the top of the city, the officers and soldiers lost their weapons one after another. They either knelt down on the wall and raised their hands to surrender, or escaped from the city wall. Only a very few officers and soldiers were still making final efforts, desperately trying to kill Xing Tian. The military sent down the wall. As more and more Xingtian army members climbed the wall, even these final resistances were crushed. Soon, a Xingtian army flag fluttered on the wall.
At this time, there was a tsunami-like cheering sounded.
As the gate was opened from the inside of the Xingtian army who were attacked on the wall, the soldiers and horses outside the city poured into the city like a tide.
Luo Li's second battalion and Li Shuanzhu's third battalion entered the city almost at the same time. After seizing the gate, these officers of the Xingtian Army immediately followed their own advance arrangements. The officers led their own subordinates and quickly covered up the city.
Some officers and soldiers who fled into the city only resisted a little, and then disintegrated under the front of the Xingtian Army. A team of officers of the Xing Tianjun controlled some important places in Yongning County at a fast speed. A team of surrendered officers and soldiers knelt down dejected beside the street and waited for Xing Tianjun to treat him. Their disposal, and Xiao Tianjian also stepped into Yongning County with his guard at this time.
As the situation in the city was gradually controlled by the Xingtian Army, a small number of officers and soldiers and officials opened the north gate when the city was broken and escaped outside the city. The more important government office and other places in the city were basically controlled by the Xingtian Army.
At this time, the guards under the jurisdiction of Tietou were also given a new mission. After entering the city, they were quickly stationed on the streets in the county to patrol and be responsible for picketing the disciplinary violations of the soldiers.
Although Xing Tianjun has been emphasizing military discipline since the day of its establishment of the army, and Xing Tianjun has also been deeply supported by the people for its strict military discipline in Shanxi in recent years, this time in the fight against Yongning County, two or three battalions have paid a lot of price. After the soldiers attack the city, it is inevitable that some soldiers will be angry, and inevitably This anger is on the civilians.
Before Xiao Tianjian led his troops to fight Yongning County this time, he made it clear to the generals that the purpose of their coming here was to occupy, not to destroy. People's hearts are the most important thing. Therefore, after entering the city, it is necessary not to harm the flat-headed people.
In this way, the guards became the gendarmes in the Xingtian Army. After entering the city, they immediately dispersed and began to picket duty in the city. Sure enough, they quickly captured more than a dozen generals who took advantage of the chaos to do evil to the people in the city, and quickly controlled the chaos. Head.
Before the afternoon, the Xing Tianjun basically completely eliminated the remaining resistance in all parts of the city, leaving only the Wan'an Palace in the north of the city that had not been finally taken down.
Xiao Tianjian stepped on the head of the city and stood next to the body of an official lying in a pool of blood. He silently looked down at the dead official who was still angry and open his eyes. A prisoner knelt on the ground and whispered to Xiao Tianjian, "Qi... General Qi, this person is... Lord Wu of Zhixian... No, no, it's Wu Dalie! He..."
Xiao Tianjian waved his hand with a solemn face to let the prisoner drive the prisoner off the wall. Under the attention of everyone, he took off his helmet, bowed deeply to Wu Dalie's body in his hand, and then squatted down and reached out to close his eyes.
When he stood up again, the expression on his face returned to coldness again and shouted, "Cut off his head, hang over the gate, and behead all his family members!" Let everyone know that there is no good end for our opponents of the Xingtian Army! ......”
