The Struggle of the Reborn Prince
Chapter 245 City Break
"The city is broken..."
"The Song army has entered the city..."
As the two gates of Dongcheng and Nancheng were broken, panic shouts spread throughout the streets and alleys of Lingzhou City. The streets were full of defeated soldiers and nobles with some family background, and they rushed to the inner city to seek.
The last refuge...
"The city is broken!" Wei Ming Anhui sat down dejectedly, his face instantly lost its blood, and beads of sweat as big as beans rolled down, "How is it possible? The former emperor was in full swing at that time, and it took more than a month to use a 100,000 army.
The Song army guarding the city was only 5,000, which was impossible..." He couldn't believe that he had defended Lingzhou City with 50,000 elite troops of 100 battles, but the Song army only used two shorts.
Shichen broke through the city defense in full, and he shouted at Yu Hou who reported the situation.
"Prince, how dare the officials lie about military information? Now the East City Gate and the South City Gate have been broken. The Song army has entered the city. The Moe Army is organizing troops to build barricades and block the Xia army. Now there are only Xicheng and Beicheng.
There was no movement outside, and the prince had to make plans early!" Yu Hou was frightened by Wei Ming's hideous expression and shivered. Why did the gentleman who was usually a gentleman who looked like this? He politely said repeatedly.
"I ordered Moe to block the Song army and let Sai Zhuo mobilize all his troops to defend the inner city and bring my armor and weapons. I will go to the city to supervise the battle in person!" Wei Ming Anhui thought for a while and asked.
"Prince, the outer city has been broken. The inner city walls are short and the defense facilities are short. I'm afraid it's difficult to defend. Let's abandon the city!" Yu Hou looked at the prince and cursed in his heart. It's time, so why are you still pretending to be loyal ministers and righteous men?
Taking advantage of the fact that the Song army did not complete the full encirclement, it is justified to escape and save lives.
"If you dare to say that you will be killed again!" Wei Ming Anhui, with the help of the two attendants, was neatly dressed. When he heard the words of Yu Hou, he said furiously.
"Your Majesty calms down. You are a prince, how can you personally take the arrows and stones? It's better to do it for the sake of your subordinates!" Seeing this, the prefect of Lingzhou quickly asked the marquis Yu to retreat and went forward and said.
"Gao Zhifu, now is the time for life and death. How can I abandon the country? The people ignore it!" Wei Ming Anhui said righteously, "Gao Zhifu. You immediately take out the property in the treasury and distribute it to the army.
, pile firewood and grass on the granaries and pour tinder oil on it. Once the inner city is also breached, ignite the fire immediately and you cannot leave the food and grass on the Song army!"
"Yes, the emperor will take the order!" The prefect sighed and said, "The prince was nerdy and angry again. He was determined to live and die with the city, but if he didn't leave, he wouldn't be able to leave. According to the laws of the State of Xia, the Lord
If an official is killed or captured, everyone will be held even if he escapes back. Even if he dies, he will be the result of his family being destroyed. Well, everyone will die together!
"Report to the prince. General Sezhuo has led his subordinate generals to the city to defend. There are a large number of leaders of various tribes living in the city gathered outside the city. The family and the people are going to enter the city to take refuge. General Sezhuo did not dare to open the city without authorization. Please tell the prince!
"A young general in the army reported this time.
"The city is not allowed to be opened. Now is the time for them to serve the country, but they just want to protect themselves and let them fight with the Song army!" Wei Ming Anhui said coldly.
... ...
The south city gate opened wide, and the tiger general of the loyal and brave army and the lion general who was up the city corner attacked two times, repelled the Xia army on the city wall, and quickly went down to the city to chase the remaining soldiers. After Zhao Ren followed the army to the city, he ordered the attack to be suspended and stopped.
He went forward to investigate the camps that were about to pursue the victory. He found that the Xia army had built barricades on the road leading to the inner city with horse stakes, traffic jams, and earth bags. They blocked the road ahead. There were several rows of Xia in front of the barricade.
The military infantry formed the first line of defense with large shields and spears, followed by soldiers holding spears, long swords and short axes, and then countless archers. Whether it is the horse army or infantry, attacking forward will inevitably lead to a serious problem.
Large casualties.
"The machine gun battalion moves forward and blasts the barricades. The dragon general and the leopard general are heading straight along the main road to the inner city and complete the encirclement; the tiger general and the lion general clears the streets on both sides of the main road and controls the main road!" Zhao Ren saw it and knew that the Xia army was
It did not collapse because of the city's destruction, but was able to resist in an organized manner, so I could only fight and enter.
As soon as the five rapid-fire cannons appeared on the street, they immediately caused a commotion from the Xia army. This was the first time they watched these things at such a close distance. It was no longer as good as in the city, and there was still a place to hide. At this time, people were hit on the street.
People have no way to avoid it, they can only bury their bodies behind a large shield and pray that the shells will not fall on themselves!
The sound of the cannon sounded. When you hit like this, everyone felt that it was a bit bullying. The two armies were only more than one hundred steps apart. They hid outside the range of other people's bows and arrows. The cannon fired shots, including countless small projectiles from the muzzle.
Spraying out, like a hurricane blowing the Xia army in front of them, was scattered. Even if the big shield in their hands was two inches thick, it could not stop the iron balls shot out. After the smoke of gunpowder dissipated
The spearmen in front of the formation all became flesh shields and were beaten into sieves.
After two rounds of artillery fire, there were piles of corpses in front of the barricade, blood flowing all over the ground, and then the shotgun was replaced with solid bullets. How could the barricade withstand the destruction of these iron lumps and turn into a ruin all over the ground.
The Xia soldiers could no longer bear the naked massacre, and the formation collapsed. The dragon generals and Hussars, who had been impatient here, unscathed their swords and chased the defeated soldiers along the street, heading straight to the inner city.
At this time, the tiger general and the lion general had already detoured to both sides, controlled the entire block, and began to clear out the remaining Xia army...
Besides, Yao Gu led his troops into the east gate, and the situation they faced was almost the same as that of the Zhongyong Army. After the east gate was attacked, the Xia army's reinforcements arrived immediately. After being repelled by the Selected Front Battalion, they quickly built a barricade and still resisted stubbornly.
.Seeing that the Xia army was determined to resist stubbornly, Yao Guling launched a vanguard, hoping to defeat the Xia army's defense in one fell swoop. In the afterglow, the two sides launched a close-killing hand-to-hand combat with swords and spears, but the vanguard was soon overwhelmed by the Xia army that was constantly driving.
, completely wiped out.
Yao Gu was shocked and realized that the resistance of the Xia army was not as easy as expected. He immediately sent a cavalry to charge for the front-drive with the intention of opening a path for the subsequent troops. Although it was in the northwest, the horses in the Shaanxi army were not that so.
The cavalry was rich and the elite of the army were all fierce men. However, Dongcheng was a residential area for civilians, merchants, passengers, and military soldiers. The streets were narrow and narrow. The cavalry had to line up and advance in a row. Along the way, they were constantly being met with people from all over the place.
Attacks along the way, stones, rubble and arrows flew from all directions.
When these cavalry finally reached an open space, the residents of the army rushed out from the alley and narrow streets with knives and axes, and followed the Xia soldiers to fight. It was considered a bad luck in the Jingyuan Army, and they lived here.
Most of the people are Dangxiang people, and the families live near the barracks are all family members. Most of their families died in this battle. This time they can find a place to avenge their revenge, and they are more brave than the soldiers when fighting. They work together with the military and civilians.
Under the siege, the cavalry of Jingyuan Army was in trouble. They wanted to run but couldn't run. They wanted to kill, but there were people everywhere, and they were unable to defend themselves. They were constantly pulled down from the horse and died under the stick.
The fierce battle continued until the night fell. The Jingyuan Army launched several attacks and was repelled. The sky gradually darkened, and the narrow streets were shrouded in shadows. From the dark doors, windows or aisles, fatalities could be shot at any time.
The arrows on the head were not safe, and the Xia army smashed all kinds of things that could be used as weapons at them. The bricks and stones that fell from the sky, the tables, chairs and benches were good at this time, and the most feared thing was the boiling oil and boiling water that poured onto their bodies.
It was just that the skin was full of flesh and blood was unbearable. In order to bypass these streets and roadblocks, the Jingyuan army had to fight for each house.
Although Yao Gu personally stepped forward to supervise the battle, the progress was still slow. He repeatedly repelled the attack of the Song army. The morale of the soldiers and civilians defending the city was greatly boosted and launched a counterattack on them, hoping to drive them out of the city. Yao Gu saw this.
Shocked, this is all my own family background. I urgently ordered the attack to be defensive, suspend the attack, defend the city gate, and sent someone to ask Zhao Qi for help or suspend the attack, and fight again when dawn...
The Fuyan army, who was responsible for fighting aid outside the west gate, saw the sun set and the sound of killing in the city was shocking, but the Ximen was extremely calm. Even if the Xia army fled, nor would friendly troops open the door, Liu Yanqing couldn't help but be anxious and frequently sent scouts to the city to investigate.
But they were disappointed many times. Seeing that the credit was not due to him, they couldn't help but scold Zhao Qi for being biased. They were promoted and made money, and let themselves sit on the bench and watch the play.
"Report to General, the city gate is opened, and a large number of people are out of the city!" Just when Liu Yanqing was worried, the scout came to report.
"Select troops to enter the city!" Liu Yanqing was naturally overjoyed and urgently ordered the entire army to attack. Although it was a little late, he could finally drink some soup!
The one who opened the west gate was Gao Xiang, the governor of Lingzhou. He was originally a Han man. Twenty years ago, he was the lord of a city on the border of Song and Xia. Later, Xiancheng surrendered and was attracted by the post of Xia Guoliang. He had great trust.
Slowly, after Queen Liang lost power, he quickly drew a clear line with the Liang family and defected to Li Qianshun. Just as Li Qianshun was thinking about promoting Sinology, he appointed him as the prefect of Lingzhou.
It is said that Xia Kingdom treats him well, but Gao Xiang knows that he is a traitor. If the army is defeated and falls into the hands of the Song army, he will eventually die. He will be alive when he sees the city's heartbrokenness. He originally wanted to persuade Wei Ming and Anhui to escape together, but see
How dare you mention the scene? So you secretly cleaned up the soft and slipped out of the inner city by taking the opportunity to appease the people in the city. He was not stupid either. He called on the nobles who were blocked outside the inner city, thinking about the law and not ruling the public.
, if he took these people together, he might be able to save his life, and perhaps he could still save his official position, so he falsely passed on the king's order, saying that he was escorting these noble people out of the city to take refuge and tricked the city gate.
Gao Xiang knew that the south gate and the east gate had been lost, only the north gate and the west gate had not been lost. Xicheng was successively the Lingzhou General Administration Office, the Governor's Office, the Jiedu Department and other senior military and political organs, as well as the garrisons of the Xiazhou government office, the Xiazhou government office, and the garrison office.
The treasury and the arsenal were there, of course the most important thing was that his official office was also there, and there was no Song army outside the West City. Now it was dark, so Ximen was selected...
