Han’s Son is Not a Slave: Chapter 175 Wandering and defense 14

When the war came to an end, the Green Battalion attacked, and it was noon now. Whether it was the Qing army or the Taiping army, both sides were exhausted from fighting, and they both hoped that the other party would not be able to sustain the defeat. Knowing that this fierce battle is far from over.

The Shang family's own soldiers still did not capture the city wall after losing hundreds of people, which made Shang Kexi, who was watching the battle, a little uneasy, but did not order the withdrawal of the troops.

"My lord, the thieves still have spare strength, our army is too damaged, should we withdraw first and rectify it before we fight?"

Ban Zhifu saw that so many soldiers of his own family had been destroyed, and Xinhui City was still firmly in the hands of the Taiping Army, so he could not help but persuade Shang Kexi to temporarily withdraw from the army.

Shang Zhixin also said: "Father, let's retreat first, and we will fight tomorrow. My son will lead people to take this new club to father!"

"retreat?"

Shang Kexi's face was flat, and he couldn't see the joy, anger, sorrow, and joy. Looking at the two of them, he said solemnly: "Do you know that all of you will be exhausted again and again? If you retreat now, we will not be able to take back this Xinhui City!" After speaking, No longer talking to the two of them, he raised his hand and ordered the guards to go to give orders.

well!

Ban Zhifu sighed secretly, and the monk Zhixin looked at each other, not knowing why Shang Kexi insisted on doing this. The two of them were puzzled, and the rest of the generals and officials under Pingnan were also inexplicable. They were very puzzled by King Pingnan's pissed-off decision, but Wu Guoli, who was standing beside the crowd in a low-key manner, grinned unnoticed. Obviously, he clearly knew why Shang Kexi made this decision. If he guessed correctly, the reason that prompted Shang Kexi to retake the new club at all costs was probably related to the imperial decree that Governor Li Suitai received three days ago.

Shang Kexi was determined to retake Xinhui today. His orders quickly reached the ears of the generals, and the horn of King Pingnan urging troops sounded again, which made the exhausted Qing army take no breath. Back in the fight again. Shouting and killing one after another. The Taiping army on the city wall responded to the Qing army's shouting and killing with a muffled roar. The soldiers held their posts and the officers kept running back and forth. Waving the long knife in his hand, he kept saving the dangerous crenel.

The ever-increasing casualties taught Zhou Shixiang and the officers how to defend the city, and the Taiping army no longer gathered in groups as before. Instead, they were divided into several teams, one team of four, one with a knife, one with a spear, and the other two worked together to hold a fork that could push the ladder. The four cooperated with each other. Once the existing Qing soldiers climbed up from the ladder, they would push the ladder with a fork. If they couldn't push the ladder. The soldiers with spears stabbed the outcropping Qing soldiers, and the soldiers with knives slashed straight away if they missed a hit. With this cooperation, the momentum of the army's climb to the city was effectively curbed, and the casualties of the army's soldiers, who were regarded as treasures by Shang Kexi, gradually increased.

In addition to the crenel being guarded by four people, the more than 100 gunners of the guard battalion are no longer scattered, but divided into four teams of 20 or 30 people each. These 20 or 30 gunners are unified under the command of the officers The bombardment of the city was much more effective than the previous blind shooting, causing a lot of casualties to the Qing army.

After Liao Ruixiang went to the city, he found Zhao Sihai and dispatched 3oo security team members to the city. These security team members cooperated with the original youth in the city to be responsible for boiling and pouring the golden juice, throwing the sapwood, and the extra manpower in addition to continuing to carry materials from the city to the upper. The rest smashed the Qing army down with stones and bricks. With the cooperation of several parties, the Taiping army's defense of the city became organized and scaled, which made the Qing army under the city a headache and even more despair.

As a precaution, according to the legend of Zhou Shi, Jiang He, a bald boy from the guard battalion, and Li Fuguo from the trial battalion, immediately led the remaining troops of the guard battalion to stand by under the Dongcheng, ready to go to the city for reinforcements at any time. (Author's Note: As mentioned above, the 100 households in the guard camp should be Lin Zaisheng, and Zhang Erjiang was the 100 households in the Hujie camp.) At the same time, the three battalions of Hujie, Yuzhen, and Xiongwei guarding the other three gates should be dispatched with a team of soldiers to be on standby at any time. To the east side.

"Think about your wives and children!"

"If the Tartars break the city, we will be the first to chop off the heads of our Taiping Army. The second will chop off your heads!"

"If you want to go back alive, cheer up Lao Tzu. Tartars are also human beings. You are also human, and you will fight with them!"

""

city ​​wall. The officers from the prison camp and the guards battalion continued to cheer for the security guards and young men. These security guards and young men also knew that they could not die if they didn’t give their lives. Those who have no family can't think of being alone. The brutality of the Tartars is not just for fun. It really broke the city.

"I'll slap your lungs! I'll slap your lungs!"

Fan Si vigorously moved a stone to the crenel, and then shouted to push the stone down, and he didn't know where the courage came from. Fan Si actually looked down at the city, and his face suddenly became joyful, "You **** it. Pujie, die well, die well!" But it turned out that the stone was smashing the head of a Qing soldier who had only climbed halfway up the ladder.

The biggest disadvantage of the ant-attached siege was obvious at this moment. The densely gathered Qing soldiers had completely become a living target on the city. If a big tree fell, a piece would be smashed, and a stone would never fail. When the juice fell, it was even more scalded to death.

The Qing army is also ruthless~www.mtlnovel.com~ The soldiers of this family are even more desperate, those who go up fall down, and those below climb up again. There was no vacancy for a moment on the ladder, and it was full of Qing soldiers climbing up. Two of the ladders even fell apart due to the heavy weight of the climbing soldiers, and the falling soldiers injured many of their companions below.

On the side of the city gate cave, the green camp's shield truck still made no progress, except for the constant slamming of the door. The Zhenghuang Banner Han army commanded by Geng Zhongde did not organize manpower to climb the city, but suppressed the city with bows and arrows under the city. This made the Zhenghuang Banner Han army suffer very few casualties. Uncle, I'm afraid Qin Guocheng chopped off his head and used it as a urinal.

Most of the Han army with the Xianglan Banner from Guangzhou rushed to the city, but Xinhui Dongcheng was no more than two miles long from north to south. In such a narrow distance, thousands of Qing troops attacked the city at the same time, and the crowded situation can be imagined. Many flag soldiers were unable to squeeze under the city, and only shouted and shouted at the periphery. These flag soldiers who were not able to climb the ladder to attack the city in front of them were mostly glad that they didn't die like the cannon fodder from the Green Battalion, and that they didn't become a living target of the Taiping Army in the city like the soldiers of this family.
