Lin Quanbao gave Zuo Guigui an ultimatum before the attack, as long as he laid down his arms and surrendered, the Huaxing army would treat the prisoners preferentially and would never kill a single person indiscriminately.Because the Kwantung New Army in the city were all Han Chinese, Lin Quanbao didn't want to kill each other anymore."
Boom" Zuo Guigui personally lit the cannon on the city wall in response.Lin Quanbao thinks so, he is not.He is a Hui person, he already has a deep hatred with Huaxingjun, and he has loyalty to the Qing court in his heart, how can he easily succumb to Huaxingjun.Zuo Guigui was very confident in the defense of Phoenix, and he deployed thirty breech guns on each wall, stationed tens of thousands of soldiers to guard it.He believed that with the weapons in his hands, the Huaxing army wanted to take this city, and he would have to shed his skin if he didn't die."
Damn, I really don't know how to lift" The corners of Lin Quanbao's mouth moved, and he cursed secretly in his heart, and immediately gave the order to the herald to attack.At this time, the airship squadron had just arrived at the battlefield, and when they saw the soldiers on the ground waving the battle flag, they slowly lowered to a height of more than 500 meters and moved towards Phoenix."
The gods are coming, the Huaxing army has invited the gods" Thirty airships neatly crossed the sky, unusually dazzling in the sun.The soldiers defending the city saw this thing for the first time, and they all showed surprised expressions, pointing to the airship and shouting and shouting, thinking that the Huaxing army had moved the heavenly soldiers and generals.The timid ones were already ready to have the soles of their feet, but Zuo Guigui was staring behind him with a knife, and no one dared to move.Soon after the airship squadron reached the sky above the southern wall, it dropped its first bomb.The "boom" bomb landed with a piercing whistling sound, and a puff of gunpowder smoke accompanied by a thunderous roar instantly rose into the air.Rubble splattered, and the entire wall shook with it. ”The gods are angry, the gods are angry" The Kwantung New Army all reacted from their stunned eyes, and then realized that the airship on their heads was not here to play.All the soldiers hugged their heads to dodge, thinking that the gods had used some earth-destroying spell.The "whoosh" was accompanied by a dense roar, and then the bombs fell from the airship like dumplings, and smashed in all directions of the city wall.Smoke billowed and explosions followed.The entire southern city wall was enveloped in the roar of bombs, and the splatters of shrapnel were like meat grinders, tearing apart the soldiers in it one by one.The walls were in chaos, and the soldiers fled in all directions, crying and shouting.The city wall, which was already slightly reinforced with bluestone, could no longer withstand the huge impact and collapsed in an instant."
Woo, toot, dumb" The position of the Huaxing army was horned, and the Huaxing army in the direction of the southern city wall was the first to attack.The entire battlefield began to boil at this time, and the airship bombing just now was just an appetizer, and the real big dish had just been served."
Deputy marshal, the city wall has collapsed, let's flee to Phoenix Mountain" Zuo Guigui was stunned by the shock wave of the bomb just now, and when the soldiers found him in the ruins, the Huaxing army had already launched a general attack.There was still a buzzing in his ears, and he couldn't believe it was true as he looked at the broken and collapsed southern city wall.It took him three years to build this wall, and it was completely impregnable in his heart.But I didn't expect that with only one stick of incense, the entire city wall was completely destroyed."
Huaxingjun, Lao Tzu fought with you" At this moment, Zuo's precious heart was like ashes.He roared vigorously, and as soon as he pushed away his own soldiers, he wanted to fight with Huaxingjun."
Deputy marshal, you must not be impulsive, the brothers have all retreated to Phoenix Mountain, let's go over now, with the help of the mountains, we must be able to wait for the arrival of reinforcements" The pro-soldier took his arm and persuaded loudly, for fear that he would have some accidents, and the new Kwantung army would be completely dispersed."
Let go of me, Lao Tzu is going to fight with Huaxing Army Let go of Lao Tzu" Zuo Guigui scolded and struggled hard, but the soldiers just hugged him tightly and didn't let go, and quickly carried him down.As soon as the southern wall was lost, the new Kwantung army on the other three walls faded to the second line of defense without thinking about it.Phoenix Mountain is located three kilometers southeast of Phoenix City, which belongs to the remaining veins of Changbai Mountain.The highest peak is more than 800 meters above sea level, and is known for being dangerous and strange, and the show is hidden.At the beginning, Zuo Guigui never thought about garrisoning the mountain, and in his mind, there were only three concepts of defending the city, attacking the city, and field warfare.There was no food or grass on the hill, and there was no camp for the soldiers.Once the passage down the mountain is blocked, the army will be trapped alive on the mountain, and finally end up in the same fate as Ma Tan's lost street pavilion.After the Huaxing army took control of the entire Phoenix City, they quickly posted notices to appease the people in the city.These old Kanto people, who still have big pigtails, all speak an old Manchu language.They were extremely hostile to the Huaxing army, thinking that the Huaxing army had come to grab things.At night, when the Huaxing army was patrolling the streets, a group of soldiers was ambushed by the men in the city, and all of them were killed by sudden bows and arrows.When Deputy Commander Lin Quanbao learned the news, he immediately became angry.He was tolerant of the Han Chinese, but he didn't have that much to say about these tartars.That night, all the men of the city, old and weak, were gathered.The torches lit up the sky, illuminating an open space in the city as if it were day.There were more than 1,000 men in total, all of whom were surrounded by the Huaxing army with guns.All those who kept giving orders were shot and killed.In the army, Lin Quanbao found a young man who could speak Manchu and acted as a translator.When this kid was in the capital, he was a slave in Prince Gong's mansion.I listen to Manchu a lot every day, and I will naturally say a few words."
Tell them to let the Tartars hand over the murderers.Otherwise, every half of the incense stick, Lao Tzu will shoot a hundred people" Lin Quanbao looked at these Manchu tartars coldly, like looking at a flock of lambs to the slaughter.As long as he gave the order, he could easily take their lives.The blood of these Manchus is much purer than that of the Manchus in the capital, and they don't even understand Chinese, and they are the real descendants of the Jurchen race.The translator shouted loudly, and the crowd immediately exploded, and they all shouted and scolded Lin Quanbao."
What do they say" Lin Quanbao's eyebrows furrowed, looking at these Tartars who didn't know whether they were alive or dead, he was very unhappy.He was originally from the Taiping Army, and he has never looked at the Manchu Tartars unpleasantly.If Qiao Zhiqing hadn't allowed the indiscriminate killing of innocents, he would have ordered the slaughter of the city a long time ago."
Deputy commander, they call us robbers" The little translator replied honestly, his face full of embarrassment."
Robber" Lin Quanbao laughed out loud when he heard it, his voice was so cold and piercing.At that moment, he waved his hand to the soldiers, and he didn't want to grind with these Tartars anymore, "Bang, bang, bang", "crackling" The gunshots suddenly rang out loudly, and they rang out one after another from all directions.The bullets sparked brilliant sparks in the night sky, weaving a murderous web of fire, whistling and covering all the people.The sounds of panic, shouting, and wailing suddenly mingled, and after the gunfire ended, the night returned to its proper calm.At this time, not far from Phoenix Mountain, there was also a lot of gunfire and chaos.After Zuo Guigui retreated to Phoenix Mountain with the remnants of the defeated soldiers in the city, he saw that the people under the mountain were crowded, and he did not retreat to the mountain to defend it, and they all sat on the ground dejectedly.He sent someone to immediately find out the situation, and it turned out that Phoenix Mountain had long been occupied by Wu Laoliu.He placed heavy troops on the road he had to pass, and anyone who wanted to go up the mountain had to hand in his guns first, and then worship him as his eldest brother.Among the soldiers who retreated to Phoenix Mountain, there were people with higher positions than Wu Laoliu, where could they swallow this breath and take their men to attack the mountain.However, Wu Laoliu learned from the experience of the Huaxing Army, dug trenches and built defensive positions on the mountain according to the mountain terrain.The Kwantung New Army under the mountain rushed upward, exactly like their live target.The Kwantung New Army, which had fled here, attacked for a while, but was all repelled by Wu Lao Liu and his men.In the end, as a last resort, those who wanted to live gave up their dignity, and after surrendering with Wu Laoliu, they worshiped him as the boss before going up the mountain to join the gang.The unconvinced generals all gathered at the foot of the mountain, they had already learned the news that Zuo Guigui was still alive, and they were all waiting here for him to come over and preside over the overall situation."
Damn, I didn't expect this kid to be a two-faced guy, Lao Tzu has to break him into thousands of pieces" Zuo Guigui scolded angrily, and he couldn't wait to slaughter Wu Lao Liu immediately."
Deputy marshal, Wu Lao Liu built a trench on the mountain according to the method of the Huaxing Army, hid in it and specially put cold guns, and the brothers rushed several times and were beaten down by him.We can't attack anymore, we can only find a way to outwit it" Xu Chongzhi, the commander of the Second Army, suggested again and again, he had just been defending the north city wall in the city, and when he saw that the situation was unknown, he fled to the bottom of the mountain in advance.He tried all kinds of ways to attack, but in the end he was repelled by Wu Laoliu, and thousands of people were killed and wounded."
It's okay, let's fight against Wu Laoliu.Didn't he want to be the boss, and tomorrow morning you will take your reliable brother up the mountain, and pretend to surrender to him.I took my brothers to attack immediately at the foot of the mountain, and as soon as the guns rang out, you would lead people to raid Wu Lao Liu from behind.Let's work together inside and outside, with the little men and horses under Wu Laoliu, we can kill him in minutes" Zuo Guigui thought of a way, and the muscles on his face trembled three times."
Good idea, just do it, my subordinates will go and prepare" Xu Chongzhi applauded when he heard it, and after saying goodbye to Zuo Guigui, he went down to the army and selected more than 2,000 trustworthy soldiers.The sun always rises early in the Kanto region, and the soldiers who fled from Phoenix to the bottom of the mountain fled and fled, scattered, and died.Of the more than 30,000 people, there are now less than 20,000 left.Xu Chongzhi took more than 2,000 cronies up the mountain and found a dagger to hide in his boots.After going up the mountain, he raised his foreign gun high and surrendered to Wu Laoliu's men.When Wu Lao Liu saw Xu Chongzhi coming, he immediately smiled and clenched his fists and said loudly."
Brother Xu, you have figured it out" "Brother Wu, the eldest brother is really desperate.Deputy Marshal Zuo was killed in battle yesterday, and my brother will follow you in the future" Xu Chongzhi pretended to look helpless, and bowed to Wu Lao Liu with his fists in his fists."
Okay, good, good Brother Xu to help the younger brother, the younger brother's cottage will be more prosperous in the future" Wu Lao Liu was overjoyed, he was just a division commander at the beginning, and his level was far below Xu Chongzhi.Now even Xu Chongzhi is convinced of him, and the pride in his heart can be imagined
