The Chu army wanted to escape, where to escape because Zuo Zongtang was reluctant to throw away the infantry, and if he escaped with the cavalry, he would really become a horse bandit in the future."
Withdraw it."
Zuo Zongtang glanced at the Chinese army with torches in all directions, and sighed.Liu Jintang sighed and said: "Commander, you can't delay, brothers in the infantry army, let them figure out their own way, let's take the cavalry to fight out of the encirclement first" "How can they think of a way" Zuo Zongtang said angrily."
You'll find a way to show me."
Liu Jintang sighed, and had to give an order to the deputy generals on the left and right, "The marshal has an order, all of them are withdrawn." ”In this way, Zuo Zongtang's overnight escape plan died in less than an hour."
Push the artillery up, the artillery fire covers all the walls of Xi'an, don't hit a section, make the momentum bigger, however, you have to tell the artillery battalion that you are not allowed to hit the shells into the city, you are willing to fall outside the city, and if you can't hit, it is better than hitting the houses of the common people" Xuan Jianzhang held a telescope and observed the movements of the Chu army, and said to the chief of staff of the division beside him."
Yes, Master."
The chief of staff of the division hurriedly stood up and went to convey the order.The artillery battalion of the 1st Field Division of the Chinese Army immediately moved forward in accordance with Xuan Jianzhang's instructions, aiming the artillery bombardment at the entire city defense of Xi'an, instead of striking at a single position.After a night of commotion, the people of Xi'an originally knew that the Chu army wanted to escape, but they didn't expect to be forced back by the Chinese army again, the people's bends have turned around, thinking that the Chu army is gone, this Shaanxi, sooner or later is from China, it is good to be able to do this without fighting, who knows that the Chu army ran back again, the people are even more disgusted with the Chu army, if they can't fight, they will surrender, and pull the people of the whole city to do the artillery of the first field division of the Chinese army, this time directly waited until noon, before the distance was surveyed clearly, Mainly because Xuan Jianzhang strictly ordered that the houses of the common people could not be hit, and only the city wall was allowed to be bombarded, so the distance must be surveyed carefully and a clearer map of the city defense must be drawn."
One hundred and fifty guns, each gun, one shell every ten minutes, an hour is 900 shells, two hours."
Xuan Jianzhang said to the commander of the artillery battalion, "In the future, we will follow this standard every day, as long as Zuo Zongtang does not surrender, the artillery will be routinely fired for two hours." ”The commander of the artillery battalion nodded and said with a smile: "Division, this has become a firecracker, but this firecracker is too expensive." ”Zuo Zongtang was taking a nap, but he couldn't sleep, he should have been on the way to Gansu now, through Gansu, to Qinghai, to go around in circles with the Chinese army in the wasteland, in Qinghai, Xinjiang, and even to the periphery of Mongolia and Central Asian provinces, he didn't believe that the Chinese army could do anything to him.Zuo Zongtang was thinking about his thoughts.The shelling of the Chinese army began.In the sky outside the window, there was the sound of shrill cannonballs cutting through the air, accompanied by long arcs.The main purpose of the daytime artillery bombardment of the Chinese army was to cover the attacking troops and reduce casualties, and this was the first time that the attack was chosen at noon.The people in the entire city of Xi'an were frightened, thinking that the Chinese army was going to attack the city Zuo Zongtang sat up suddenly: ran to the door barefoot, and said loudly: "Quickly give the order, hold on, hold on" "Yes, big handsome." ”The guards hurriedly went down to give orders."
Damn the Chinese army, let no one live," Zuo Zongtang said indignantly.At the moment, it seems that Zuo Zongtang either chooses to flee with a small group of cavalry, or there is only one way left to surrender.As the area covered by the Chinese artillery fire increased, explosions were heard all around the entire city of Xi'an.The soldiers and civilians in the city of Xi'an, everyone is worried, the shells are not a joke, the artillery fire of the Chinese army can accurately cover all the city defenses, if you really fire at the city, the city will have become a sea of fire long ago.The common people also have rods and scales in their hearts, and many people are talking about it, thinking that Huajun is benevolent and righteous, and Zuo Zongtang insists on it again, but he doesn't know what to do, he doesn't care about the life and death of the people, and forcibly lets the people follow him to death.There are still a small number of scholars who think that Zuo Zongtang's refusal to surrender to China is a manifestation of loyalty to the monarch and patriotism, but after all, there are too few readers, not even one percent, and among the readers, there are still only a small number of people who hold this idea.Let the advanced young people among the scholars more easily accept the new culture and oppose the old ideas.Boom boom boom one after another shells fell from the sky, constantly hitting the Xi'an city defense accurately.Although the two-hour bombardment did not cause many casualties, it produced a violent explosion that shook the ground like an earthquake.This is an audio-visual devastation, and no one knows when the Chinese army will shell the whole city, or even attack in an all-out way.In the evening, when Zuo Zongtang personally inspected the city defense, he saw the Chu army with broken hands and feet everywhere, and couldn't help but cry, he really wanted to fight with the Chinese army but he didn't have the courage and didn't have this condition, Zuo Zongtang naturally knew that the people were already very disgusted with him, and if he took people outside the city to take the initiative to fight with the Chinese army, it was estimated that the people in the city would mutiny, and even his army might mutiny, and most of the people were against the cannibalism of their Chinese comrades.Everywhere he went, there was a miserable scene, Zuo Zongtang who saw it was dripping blood in his heart Next, for four or five days in a row, the Chinese army seemed to have set an alarm clock, two hours at noon, it was the season of spring and summer, everyone was sleepy at noon, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Xi'an City could not do anything, and if this continued, even if the Chinese army did not attack, the food in the city would not be enough.Rumors began to spread among the common people, saying that the Chu army planned to arrest the common people and cut the meat to eat, of course, most of these rumors were spread by the Bureau of Statistics, and the most energetic words of the common people were this kind of words, and there were rumors everywhere, and in the end, even the Chu army was in danger, worried that if the food was really not enough to eat, maybe their own people would start to eat their own people, and everyone looked at others as enemies, for fear that one would not pay attention to being put down to eat meat.At this time, the 1st Field Division of the Chinese Army suddenly launched an attack, and the officers and men of the 1st Field Division of the Chinese Army, which had received the full support of artillery, attacked on all fronts, and the offensive was very fierce.Xuan Jianzhang did not make this decision temporarily, yesterday, President Meng personally talked to Xuan Jianzhang on the phone, he was in the middle of the shelling at noon today, and suddenly issued an order: "President, take a nap, don't wait, you will definitely win." ”Gege held President Moe's forearm.President Meng smiled: "Okay, take a nap, I hope there will be good news after waking up." ”President Meng sometimes feels that his life is quite boring, he used to yearn for the life of an upper-class person, and now he is the pinnacle of the whole country, and suddenly he has become a little pig, eating and sleeping every day, sleeping and eating, most of the work is done by the president's secretariat, and he has really become a symbolic emperor.President Meng suddenly felt that those faint monarchs in the past were all sick in the brain, governing a country, as long as the power is grasped, it is really easy, why bother to have fun, do nothing He also suddenly understood, there is no such stupid emperor, the faint monarch who is too late to have fun, usually the power has been taken away, and the government has been controlled, and there is no way to do the emperor, or the world will collapse, and it is too late to do anything.President Meng was lying flat, Jie Gege was wearing a thin belly pocket, and the white jade arm with skin like clotted fat was on President Meng's round little belly, this picture was not very harmonious, but the feelings of the two people were very harmonious, and they were already living like a couple with strong feelings.Sometimes, Jie Gege wakes up and finds himself sleeping next to President Moe, and he will secretly laugh.When President Meng was sleeping, the First Field Division of the Chinese Army was attacking the Chu army on all fronts, and he relaxed his vigilance, thinking that the Chinese army would completely collapse the Chu army's defense line every day.The nine regiments of the Chinese army attacking from all sides broke through the defense line of Xi'an City almost at the same time.The army ran back and forth, and the sound of the trumpet was heard in all directions.t1706231537:
