Chapter 97 A great success
This time, the main attack was the third division of Li Shuanzhu. Seeing the next batch of his troops fall into the gap, Li Shuanzhu can be said to be heartbroken like a knife. The helmet on his head was thrown to the ground by him, scolding and constantly mobilizing all the people under his command, constantly filling in the gap.
"Grandma's! Give it to me. The rattan hand took the thunderbolt and rushed to the pass wall to blow it up! Leave a pontoon bridge and let Min Zhuang transport the wounded out! Don't block all the roads! If anyone dares to pee my pants today, I will chop him with my own hands!" By this time, Li Shuanzhu was close to the state of rampage.
And the casualties of each department are very large. A batch of batches are pressed up, and a batch of batches are retreated. In just half a day, in this gap, the Xing Tianjun suffered nearly 1,000 casualties, almost as much as the strength of the three divisions. However, the progress of the offensive war is still not big, and the defenders seem to be crazy. A group of them are killed, and then A batch of upper pass wall, hit with three eyes, shoot with bow and crossbow, hit with stones, and desperately prevented Xing Tianjun from entering the city.
At this time, even the bodyguards of the royal palace were driven out by Xiangyang and handed over to Meng Ruhu for deployment. For this reason, many royal bodyguards refused to work hard. Even if they were cut by Meng Ruhu, they were forced to fight with Xing Tianjun at the pass wall.
Seeing that the casualties were too big, Xiao Tianjian ordered the firearms to concentrate at the gap and provide them with cover with knife players. At the same time, he sent the dead men to raise their shields to rush towards the pass wall and blow up the officers and soldiers on the pass wall with Thunderbolt guns. At the same time, he ordered the firearms to go up in rows and fire at the officers and soldiers on the pass wall in the gap. Give full play to their firepower advantages, and at the same time make the artillery desperately suppress the officers and soldiers at both ends of the city wall, making it impossible for them to gain a foothold on the wall.
In this way, under the fierce blow of the combination of punches such as Xing Tianjun, the officers and soldiers in the city finally began to be unable to hold on. The battle was already a great super level for these officers and soldiers in Xiangyang. Seeing that the bodies of the robes on the wall were almost full, they even fell on the wall of the There is no place. How can the officers and soldiers have seen such a tragic battle? Although the fierce tiger jumped under the wall and forced them to get on the wall, this method was useless now. A large number of mentally broken officers and soldiers jumped off the wall and fled desperately to the city. A family team stopped them, and they even copied the guy and the family team.
Seeing this situation as fierce as a tiger, he also knew it. At this time, his general Liu Shijie had been blown up by Xing Tianjun on the entrance wall to the bottom of the entrance wall. His body was full of wounds and spit out blood. Obviously, he could not survive, and the officers and soldiers had also collapsed at this time, close to the two in his hand. More than a hundred Ding team were still making the final resistance, but with the fire of Xing Tianjun in rows, the family members of the family team also fell down one after another.
Then the subordinates of the Xingtian Army began to carry the ladder into the gap and put it on the gap wall. More and more members of the Army began to rush into the gap, climbed up the wall from these ladders, and began to fight with these family members.
In the end, even the family members of the governor began to be unable to bear it. They were forced down the wall one after another. Dozens of families were as fierce as tigers. Regardless of his roaring, they fled to the north of the city with him.
A large number of Xingtian military personnel shouted to kill Zhentian over the pass wall and began to pour into the city.
The fierce battle in the city lasted until midnight that it gradually stopped. Although a large number of officers and soldiers finally knelt down and surrendered, because the casualties of the Xing Tianjun when attacking the city were too heavy, their eyes turned red. No matter if these officers and soldiers were cut to the ground regardless, any military discipline could be taken care of at this time. War is It is cruel and extremely violent. When killing the red eyes, the animal nature of human beings is completely stimulated. What's more, being a soldier has been constrained by various military disciplines for a long time, and there is a large amount of violence in his heart. When he is stimulated on the battlefield, this anger will be completely released, so this time In the Battle of Xiangyang, the Xingtian Army killed prisoners in violation of discipline was very serious. A considerable number of defenders and even people in the city were slaughtered.
Xiao Tianjian led the guard battalion into the city at night. After entering the city, he also found this situation, so he hurriedly ordered the guard battalion to carry out bomb pressure in all parts of the city. Before dawn, he controlled the Xingtian army who had killed the red-eyed army, so that the massacre in the city could be stopped.
Many officers and soldiers who narrowly escaped were so scared that they sat on the ground and cried loudly, including the people in the city who cried in a mess. After all, many of them did not want to be enemies with the Xing Tianjun, but because the defenders in the city forced them to help them fight, as a result, many people were also slaughtered. At this time, the city was almost Every family has been killed, so the whole city of Xiangyang is full of mourning.
Xiao Tianjian walked on the street of Xiangyang after dawn and saw a lot of devastation. Many houses were ignited and are still burning. Many houses were destroyed by shells. There were corpses and rubble everywhere. The whole city of Xiangyang was filled with a disgusting bloody smell.
Xiao Tianjian suddenly staddled and fell down with a slippery foot. He looked down and saw that he had stepped on a piece of human intestines, which immediately made him a little disgusting.
When the lockdown of the city was opened, the war was not so tragic, but I didn't want to fight the battle in Xiangyang, but it was so miserable. Looking at the tragic situation in the city, Xiao Tianjian lamented: "A general has achieved a lot of bones! I hope what I did is not wrong! Come on, pass on the order. Zhang Bang told the people in the city that all the dead in the family will be given five taels of silver as compensation! Gather the people in the city, clean up the bodies in the city as soon as possible, transport more lime from outside the city, and spread it in the city as soon as possible!
It's hot! If you don't clean up the bodies in the city quickly, I'm afraid there will be a big plague in Xiangyang City..."
Li Xin followed Xiao Tianjian to patrol the city. While listening, he wrote down Xiao Tianjian's instructions. He also saw the severity of this battle. To be honest, he was also shocked by the strength of resistance of the officers and soldiers. No wonder the soldiers who entered the city would kill red eyes. If he had watched a large number of his robes fall beside him. I guess it will be crazy.
What impressed him more was the speed of Xiao Tianjian's reaction. After entering the city, he quickly suppressed this senseless massacre and immediately began to arrange the aftermath. Although the war was tragic, he could consider the people here at the first time, and did not slaughter the city as a result. This is very rare. Follow such people to fight. In the next world, why should he be cruel to the people in the future?
Li Xin kept passing on Xiao Tianjian's orders, and the situation in the city gradually began to stabilize. By the afternoon, the mood of the people had gradually settled down. Although Xing Tianjun killed a lot of people in the city, at least they did not There are slaughtered cities, and there are not too many people breaking into the homes to harm the people in the city, which is already valuable to the people, and what they didn't expect is that after Xiao Xingtian entered the city, he even ordered every family with dead people to give five taels of silver as relief, which is even more unimaginable. It can be seen that the rumor that Xing Tianjun was sympathetic to the people was not fake, so the people dared to go out of their homes and go to the street to start cleaning the bodies in the city.
A large number of corpses and wounded of the two armies soon began to be carried out of Xiangyang City and buried on the hillside outside the city. The original gun positions were soon regarded as tombs, and graves appeared on the hillside.
Xiao Tianjian sat in the hall of Xiangyang magistrate's office, looked at Li Shuanzhu below, looked at the collapsed lobby, and shook his head helplessly and said, "That's it! You don't have to plead guilty. There is also a reason for killing prisoners in the city this time. In addition, you have made contributions to the siege. You and Zhao Er donkey can avoid the death penalty, but the crime of living is not spared. Go down and get 20 military sticks! In addition, everyone will be punished for three months. Remember it later!
Let's talk about the loss this time!"
Li Shuanzhu and Zhao Erli said that after attacking the city yesterday, their men were all red-eyed. As a result, they did a lot of disciplinary things, and the Xing Tianjun army was disciplined. If according to the normal situation, both of them could not escape the blame this time. Although it is unlikely to lose their heads, at least everyone would lose one level. It's no problem. Now Xiao Tianjian has been sent lightly, asking each of them to take 20 military sticks and be punished for three months, which is a light punishment for them, so both of them are relieved.
After the count, Xiao Tianjian learned that this time it was only Li Shuanzhu's third division. When he attacked the city, 1,0718 people were killed and nearly 2,000 people were injured, including more than 300 more. It is estimated that more than half of these seriously injured people will eventually die, and the rest will be disabled. This pair of Xing Tianjun For example, the loss can be said to be a great one. It can be seen how tenacious the resistance of the defenders is in this battle of Xiangyang.
But on the other hand, it is also a happy event for Xing Tianjun to win a strong city like Xiangyang. If you take this, the whole Jingzhou will open the door, and Huguang will also open the door. In the next step, it will be much easier to attack Huguang, and the sword guide Zhili will be much easier. Therefore, for Xiao Tianjian, It is still bearable, and it is also worth it.
What's more, when he took Xiangyang City this time, he not only killed the guard general Meng Ruhu and his son fiercely, but also killed the general Liu Shijie, not to mention defeating the defenders of Yang Sichang and He Renlong. In terms of officers and soldiers alone, the loss was about 30,000. The exchange ratio between the two armies can be said to have reached seven to one. There are so many captured armor, grain and burdens, and it is almost impossible to take stock of them in a short time. In a blink of an eye, you can use these things to form another division of troops, and you can also arm nearly 10,000 reserve battalions. The officers and soldiers in Huguang are basically left with Zuo Liangyu, who can make more or less for them. It's a little troublesome.
As for the seizure, in addition to the armor, there are also millions of precious things in Xiangyang City, including calligraphy and painting antiques. It can be seen that these princes now also have official dignitaries. How much wealth has reached? Too much folk wealth has been gathered in their hands. It's not to blame them for rebelling!
And Xiao Tianjian was not polite to the captured King Xiang. Who let Xiangyang fight so hard this time, and the King of Xiang even sent his palace guards to resist. In addition, if he did not die, Yang Sichang was afraid that he would not die, so Xiao Tianjian immediately ordered and pushed King Xiang out to cut off his head and sent people. Send it directly to Suizhou and give it to Yang Sichang who ran to Suizhou to see what else Yang Sichang can do! Xiao Tianjian was deliberately angry with Yang Sichang.
