Chapter 286 Reinforcements have arrived
It was really uncomfortable to be bombarded all the time, but I was afraid of the reputation of the Living Hell, so I didn't dare to go out to fight.
In Shatuo Town outside Hequ City, Tie Mo and Mangui have been here for three days. To be honest, they were also worried about whether they could block the peasant army in Hequ City. Xuanfu and Datong Mansion sent troops at the same time, but the actual troops were not invested. Compared with the more than 100,000 peasant army in northern Shaanxi, it was simply a slim and not enough. This time, Zhang Xianzhong sent heavy troops to attack Yinzhou Pass, and Tie Mo and Mangui did not expect it before.
It is said that Zhang Xianzhong had eaten a turtle once before, and it should have been hiding near Mizhi and Qinghe. This time, it turned out to be abnormal and gathered heavily to help Zhang Cunmeng. Although Zhang Cunmeng was Zhang Xianzhong's boss in name, could Zhang Xianzhong listen to Zhang Cunmeng?
If you want to repel Sun Kewang's attack, you must send troops to Yinzhou Pass to reinforce. The troops under your command are just a little bit. To achieve your goal, you have to transfer all the cavalry under your command. In this way, Hequ City will be short of troops. It is precisely because of this that Tie Mo and Man Gui are afraid that Zhang Cunmeng will be ruthless and send troops out of the city to counterattack. That will definitely be exposed. At this time, except for He Jingyuan's Fire Camp outside Hequ City, the rest were musketeers and cavalry, almost all of them were transferred away. As for the more than 200 cavalry cruising on the front line, they were completely scary.
If Zhang Cunmeng commanded his troops out of the city to fight, Tie Mo and Mangui could only retreat to Shenmu City in shame. With the little force in his hands, it would be like a delusion to block Zhang Cunmeng's tens of thousands of peasant troops.
It was precisely because he was afraid that Zhang Cunmeng would leave the city that Tiemo made up his mind to order the Liehuo Camp to divide into three teams and take turns to bombard Hequ City, just to use artillery to put heavy psychological pressure on the peasant army in Hequ City.
Those who poured shells out like Tiemo who didn't want money were the only ones who scorpions shit. Tiemo knew very well about the situation in the Fire Camp. At most, it would be possible to hit the shells for two more days, and there would be no shells soon. By then, Tieman didn't know what else he could do to trap tens of thousands of peasant soldiers in Hequ City.
With deep concern, Man Gui held his chin with one hand and looked solemn, "Is this old guy Zhang Cunmeng really stable? Isn't sending anyone out?"
"This is a good thing. If Zhang Cunmeng really makes up his mind to fight us for his life, then we really can't do anything about it." Tie Mo smiled helplessly. The battle was completely different from what he thought before. The quagmire in northern Shaanxi really couldn't step in easily. I couldn't help but want to increase the troops in Hetao several times, but in the end I held it back.
In addition, the number of troops in Hetao was used against northern Shaanxi. It is estimated that before the war was over, the finances that Yun Mansion had finally supported were defeated. Now the Yun Mansion is barely supported. Hey, when fighting, the battle is just money and materials. In this regard, the foundation of Yun Mansion is still too weak, and every battle has to be slowed down for a while.
After all, the Ming Dynasty treasury is too poor. It is still difficult to allocate millions of taels of military pay and supplies?
Tie Mo and Man Gui were worried, and Zhang Cunmeng was also uneasy. Zhang Cunmeng, who was in Hequ City, was buzzing his head by the continuous artillery fire. How could he think too much about it? Or, Tie Mo's reputation is too shocking. In the past two years, Zhang Cunmeng was beaten to the bottom of his heart. On this land, Zhang Cunmeng was taboo to three people, the Living King of Hell was the first, and the other two were Sun Chuanting and Cao Wenzhao.
Every time he fights with the Living Hell, the other party can always play some new tricks. This time he is even worse, and he doesn't attack the city and uses cannons to bombard him. Zhang Cunmeng is a little envious of the other party. The Living Hell is really rich, and it is not easy to get a cannon by himself. But the other party is better, the shells are like steamed buns, thrown away at will.
"Huh, I'll order all the troops to strictly order them. No one is allowed to leave the city without my orders." Zhang Cunmeng made up his mind to defend the city. He could see that as long as he didn't go out, he could not defend Hequ City with tens of thousands of troops, the other party could do nothing. The Living Hell kept firing artillery, which was clearly intended to anger the people in the city and want to fight a war outside the city.
In fact, this cannot be entirely blamed on Zhang Cunmeng. All the people sent by Zhang Xianzhong to send the message were stopped outside the city. Since the cavalry were transferred, Tie Mo and Mangui ordered strict defenses and prohibited living people from approaching Hequ City. Zhang Xianzhong never dreamed that the news would not be sent to Hequ City. He thought the commander was trapped in Hequ City.
Moreover, even if you don’t get the news, according to normal circumstances, Zhang Cunmeng should be able to make a basic judgment. The officers and soldiers outside the city did not attack the city, but only used cannons to bombard them, and there were obviously fewer cavalry. At any normal point, Zhang Cunmeng would send troops to test it. However, Zhang Cunmeng was really a little confused by the bombing, and was afraid of Tie Mo, so he chose the most secure strategy he thought.
On the side of Hequ City, both sides were in pain. Tens of thousands of peasant soldiers were trapped in Hequ City, and they were bombed every day and couldn't sleep well. It was simply worse than death. The officers and soldiers outside the city were also worried and lived like years, fearing that the peasant soldiers in Hequ City suddenly ran out.
The strange situation in Hequ City did not affect Yinzhou Pass. At this time, the battle of Yinzhou Pass was in full swing. Sun Kewang led his troops to capture most of Yinzhou Pass with the unscrupulous courage of thousands of men.
Under the sky, dust filled the earth, and the earth was covered with bleakness. Sun Kewang held a long sword on the ground, and his burly body looked like a god of war. Although his armor was tattered, his tiger eyes were shining. In order to win the half of the Yinzhou Pass, the price was too heavy. After the fire, the burning smell stimulated everyone's senses. The man was really too cruel. He lowered his head and fell on the ground with a few drops of sweat down his arm. Sun Kewang stared ahead with a huge hatred. In this battle, he would definitely kill Geng Zhongming and let him go to hell to forgive his sins.
At some point, Liu Wenxiu walked closer and felt the hostility emitted by Sun Kewang. He couldn't help but shivered. He was too familiar with Sun Kewang. When Sun Kewang didn't say a word, it meant that he was on the verge of madness. The crazy Sun Kewang was a frightening beast.
"Geng Zhongming and Shang Kexi have gathered the remaining troops and retreated to the north. Chen Yaofeng has also been repelled. Now he has joined Geng Zhongming. It seems that the other party wants to make the final resistance and fight us to the death!"
As Liu Wenxiu finished speaking, Sun Kewang grinned and showed an evil smile: "They want to fight to the death? Then there must be this opportunity. I want to send them all into the Hall of Hell to avenge the dead brothers."
Drawing out the steel knife, Sun Kewang walked forward step by step, resting for half an hour, feeling full of strength. At this moment, his heart was surging, and only blood could calm the hot heart. Killing is the only wish.
Yinzhou Pass North City has now become a dense land of killing. Chen Yaofeng ordered his soldiers to set up countless traps and pits along the way. The peasant army entered the city. Every step forward means that someone would die. Entering street fighting, the war became even more cruel.
The street fighting in the city was even more tragic, with hidden arrows, tunnels, and traps. Every time the peasant army advanced a few feet, the peasant army had to pay a few or even a dozen people. From midnight to noon, the 20,000 army advanced only two-thirds. The northwards, the officers and soldiers resisted more fiercely. At noon, the peasant army had a short rest and ate something, but Liu Wenxiu had no appetite at all. At this time, even he admired Geng Zhongming a little. This man was really capable of fighting, with only a few thousand people, and he had to hold on for two days in this small Yinzhou Pass. We must hurry up, because once Geng Zhongming was wiped out, the Yinzhou Pass had to be organized.
Liu Wenxiu was not easy, and Geng Zhongming was not much better. At this time, his face was covered in gray, with a white cloth wrapped around his head. Just before, a stray arrow flew over his helmet to protect him. There were still two hours, and reinforcements would definitely complete the task of circling the back in two hours, but the soldiers under his command were suffering heavy casualties. The peasant army was much more fierce than before, as if everyone was afraid of death and was desperately siegeing the city. Although the soldiers of the Xuanfu were brave, there were few people after all. After a few hours, only more than two thousand survived.
There were more than 2,000 people left in his hand, most of them were injured, and the wounded were only more than 1,200. These people alone had to face the siege of nearly 20,000 peasant soldiers, and they had to hold on for another two hours. It was difficult, but Geng Zhongming knew that he could not retreat. If he withdrew from Yinzhou Pass, the plan of the Iron General to defeat the peasant army would be ruined. Now he was trying his best to drag it down, and hoped that reinforcements could come quickly.
The peasant army, who had been resting for less than a quarter of an hour, launched a fierce attack on the northern city of Yinzhou. This time, Sun Kewang listened to Liu Wenxiu's suggestion and ordered 10,000 people to cooperate with the attack on both sides outside the northern city wall. Qian Zhuo led his troops to approach the city heads on the east and west sides. It can be said that Sun Kewang came out this time. The peasant army rushed from all directions, and Geng Zhongming immediately felt huge pressure. There were only more than a thousand soldiers under his command, which was like supporting his arms to block the car. After deep thought, Geng Zhongming made a surprising decision. He asked everyone to withdraw from the city and concentrate all at the north wall and the north city gate.
Geng Zhongming did this, but he was helpless. He was betting that he could hold on for two hours and that reinforcements could come before the northern city gate was broken. He concentrated all the remaining soldiers on the north wall. Although he held all his strength tightly, he also put everyone in the sight of the peasant army. If reinforcements could not arrive in time, these people would have no place to escape.
On the northern city wall, Geng Zhongming pulled off his armor, revealing his strong and powerful upper body, and a long sword was slapped on the ground. His eyes [Shuquge www.shuquge.co] Looking at the smoke-filled Yinzhou Pass, he looked at the scarred soldiers, and his eyes showed a bit of determination, "Brothers are terrible?"
"Not afraid" many soldiers roared with naked eyes. There was nothing scary about the war to this point.
The officers and soldiers of the North City Wall gathered in one place. Sun Kewang stood in front of everyone and shouted angrily, "In today's battle, I will not return to Yinzhou Pass. Who can take Geng Zhongming's dog head, a thousand taels of gold!"
There must be brave men under heavy rewards. This time, the peasant army is even more brave. Every step is like a sea of corpses and blood. In the Shen period, the peasant army finally attacked the northern city wall, and Geng Zhongming had only more than 500 people left. He gathered these people in the middle of the northern city wall with the purpose of defending this area of the city wall and the northern city gate.
Zaolin Village, Zhou Dingshan, Orge, and Loudaji, all cavalrymen gathered here in the southern part of Yinzhou Pass. At this point, the rear route of the peasant army's attack on Yinzhou Pass had been blocked by officers and soldiers. Opening the map, Zhou Dingshan's eyes were shining and said in a deep voice, "Now Geng Zhongming has nailed all the peasant army to Yinzhou Pass. Whether this battle can be achieved in the Hetao crisis depends entirely on you."
"Don't worry, General Zhou, we will do our best and not let the bandits escape."
Zhou Dingshan nodded slightly, his lips curled up, and a few sneers appeared, "The whole army set out and rushed to Yinzhou Pass with all their might. It is necessary to save General Geng Zhongming's life!"
"Here!" Liu Guoneng turned over the horse and gave an order. The cavalry who had been resting for a long time jumped north. Tens of thousands of cavalry rushed, and the momentum shook the world. Liu Guoneng knew the burden on him, and he had to protect Geng Zhongming's life. For Xuanfu, Geng Zhongming was a hero. If he had not been nailed to Yinzhou Pass, the plan of more than 20,000 peasant troops to encircle the retreat would not have been successful.
The battle clouds are covered with each other, life and death are coming, the breeze is rising, the drums and horns are roaring, the bloody sunset is red
On the north wall of Yinzhou Pass, Geng Zhongming was holding the battlements tightly. At this time, he was already weak in his hands and could no longer use any strength to look at the sun in the west, which turned dim. At the time of You, what should be done, what about reinforcements?
The soldiers on the city were red in their eyes, and the peasant army was the same. In order to seize Yinzhou Pass, Liu Wenxiu had already taken the battle himself. Seeing that he was about to capture the North City Wall, Liu Wenxiu finally smiled a little.
"The generals are moving forward, the dog officers and soldiers can no longer hold on."
Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo w
Geng Zhongming also smiled, but he was relieved and released. When he saw the cavalry crowded in the distance, he collapsed on the city wall and finally came. It seemed that General Tie did not give up on him. This battle was very miserable, and it was worth it.
Qian Zhuo and others looked pale and their lips were trembling. The Xuanfu cavalry arrived and the battle was over.
After paying more than 10,000 people, he still didn't take it down in the end. What he was about to meet was the Xuanfu reinforcements that were constantly coming. Liu Wenxiu knew very well that now the soldiers had no fighting spirit and no fighting spirit. Until now, more than 20,000 brothers not only paid a heavy price, but had almost no rest, but the only thing that supports the soldiers to continue to conquer Yinzhou Pass. Now that the opponent's reinforcements have arrived, there is no hope of capturing Yinzhou Pass, and the morale that has been withered for a long time has collapsed.
