Zhang Meng has also been a general who has led troops for many years. The reason why he was able to stand out in the anti-Japanese army was naturally because of his bravery in fighting in his early years. He also knew that fighter opportunities were fleeting. After hearing Lin Sheng's shout, he no longer hesitated.
, shouted in a low voice behind him.
"Collide!"
They were all cavalry. When they arrived here, they naturally didn't have anything like a battering ram, not even wooden stakes.
But at this time, the city gate has been unbolted, so there is a possibility of being knocked open.
Zhang Meng and the others were originally at the door, but before, they were afraid of affecting the movements of the Huai'an army inside, so they did not move. Now they immediately formed a uniform order. Under Zhang Meng's command, more than 20 people collided with each other!
With just one click, the door was opened a crack!
Inside the door, some Xuzhou defenders were still desperately pressing their bodies against the door to prevent it from being knocked open.
Zhang Meng shouted angrily: "Hit me again!"
He Qianhu and others inside were also cleaning up the enemies in the city gate cave!
With the inside and outside being coordinated, the heavy city gate of Xuzhou City was hit more than a dozen times before it finally opened a hole for people to enter and exit. Zhang Meng gave an order, and these fully-armored Huai'an troops,
Then they poured in through this opening!
Afterwards, more and more Huai'an troops poured in through this opening.
Compared with the Huai'an army in the city, the army led by Zhang Meng had complete armor and stomach, as well as shields, bows and crossbows, etc. As soon as they entered the city, they immediately withstood the pressure in the city and defeated all the troops in the city.
Qi people are forced to retreat!
Zhang Meng shouted angrily: "Replace the brothers in the city!"
Following his order, dozens more Huai'an troops rushed into Xuzhou City. Together, dozens of soldiers threw aside the corpses behind the city gate, and then struggled to open the city gate!
At this point, the west gate of Xuzhou City is open!
Under the command of Zhang Meng, more and more Huai'an troops rushed into Xuzhou City, and in only half an hour, they completely controlled the west city gate.
Zhang Meng found He Qianhu who was already covered in blood, put him aside and checked his injuries.
Although it was not life-threatening, the injury to one arm was too severe and it was still unclear whether it could be saved.
Zhang Meng was greatly shocked. He took him aside and asked, "Brother, are you from the Eastern Route Army?"
He Qianhu grinned: "Under the command of General Xue of the Eastern Route Army, there are Qianhu in Songjiang Wei Yizi camp."
Zhang Meng carefully placed him and said in a low voice: "Brother, we have replaced all the people under your command. You guys have a good rest and leave the rest of the battle to us."
He clasped his fists at He Qianhu, bowed his head deeply and said, "Brothers, you are the first to win this battle, and no one can take away your credit!"
He Qianhu recognized Zhang Meng. After all, he was one of the few senior generals in the entire Huai'an Army. He endured the pain in his arm and asked: "General Zhang, my subordinate..."
His voice was a little hoarse: "How many more people are there?"
Zhang Meng was silent for a while, then lowered his head and said, "I'm afraid it's less than two hundred."
He Qianhu closed his eyes and exhaled a breath: "I understand."
"Thank you, General Zhang."
Zhang Meng squatted down again, patted his uninjured shoulder, and whispered: "Brother, the main force of our West Route Army can arrive at dawn. We have two thousand people, and it will not be a problem to wait until dawn. Xuzhou
We have captured most of the city."
"do not worry."
"This is the credit of the Eastern Route Army."
Zhang Meng looked at He Qianhu and said in a deep voice: "Whoever dares to fight with you will be the first one named Zhang who can't get along with him!"
He Qianhu leaned against the city wall and had no strength to speak anymore.
"As long as we don't embarrass General Xue and Duke Shen, we will be satisfied."
Zhang Meng didn't speak anymore, but turned around and walked towards the Qi people in the city.
………………
Outside Xuzhou City, Ling Su and other Western Route Army troops were rushing towards Xuzhou City.
Shen Yi and Su Ding were not idle either. Naturally, they had known for a long time that the Di News Division would seize the city today, but the East Route Army needed to attract Xuzhou's attention, making Xuzhou feel that the Huai'an Army was still far away from them.
, so there is no action.
However, Shen Yi and Su Ding, together with hundreds of riders from the Eastern Route Army, rode all night towards Xuzhou City.
They are sixty miles away from Xuzhou City. If we walk this distance, we may need to march for an entire night, but on horseback, we can reach it in three or four hours at most.
Therefore, after Zhang Meng and others occupied the west city gate, in just over an hour, Shen Yi and Su Ding rushed to the gate of Xuzhou City with five or six hundred horses!
At this time, the Di Reporting Department had reported the situation on the front line to Shen Yi many times. Shen Yi naturally knew which city gate was occupied by his family. He and Su Ding rushed to the west gate!
At this moment, a fierce battle is going on near the west city gate!
Although Zhang Meng only brought 2,000 men, these 2,000 men were fully equipped and the area near the city gate was relatively narrow, so the numerical advantage could not be used. Therefore, the Huai'an army firmly guarded the west gate, leaving the Xuzhou defenders in the city
, there is no way to retake the city gate.
Therefore, Shen Yi, Su Ding and others entered Xuzhou City very smoothly.
When walking into the west city gate, those on both sides who recognized Shen Yi bowed their heads and clasped their fists, calling themselves Mr. Shen.
Shen Yi also nodded and greeted them one by one.
After checking the injuries of some wounded soldiers, Mr. Shen walked up to He Qianhu.
At this moment, some doctors accompanying the army had caught up and were re-treating He Qianhu's wounds. When Shen Yi saw the wounds on his arms, he frowned subconsciously, then squatted in front of him and whispered: "
I already know the battle situation in Xuzhou."
When He Qianhu saw Shen Yi, this man who had been slashed several times without even crying, his eyes filled with tears. He lowered his head and choked up: "Mr. Shen, I will be the last of those subordinates..."
Shen Yi was silent, and then said in a hoarse voice: "Don't worry, the brothers who participated in the battle to seize the city are all heroes, and the pension will be doubled. I will try my best to take care of their families."
He Qianhu heard this and was about to bow his head to Shen Yi, but Shen Yi held him down and said in a deep voice: "You have a good rest."
He Qianhu didn't move at all.
Shen Yi looked around and asked, "Where is Lin Sheng?"
He Qianhu was stunned, not knowing who Lin Sheng was.
Shen Yi reacted and asked: "Shen Ping, Member Shen, where did you see him?"
Only then did He Qianhu react and said: "Mr. Shen, Mr. Shen is hiding on the tower. He should still be on the tower now."
Shen Yi nodded, turned around and said to Su Ding: "General Su, please contact General Ling and the soldiers of the East Route Army immediately, and ask them to rush to Xuzhou City as soon as possible, so that they can enter Xuzhou City as quickly as possible and occupy the city.
All entrances and exits in Xuzhou are blocked!"
Su Ding lowered his head and clasped his fists: "Yes! I understand!"
He looked up at the sky and said, "General Ling and the others should arrive in Xuzhou in the morning. As for our Eastern Route Army, we should not arrive in Xuzhou until the afternoon or evening!"
Shen Yi nodded and didn't say anything more. He just ordered: "Control a few city gates first, and then slowly clean up the Qi people in the city."
"yes!"
After giving the instructions, Shen Yi, escorted by several followers, walked onto the Xuzhou Tower.
On the tower, Lin Sheng, dressed in military uniform, squatted by the wall, staring blankly ahead, not knowing what he was thinking.
Shen Yi turned around and signaled his followers to stop. He walked over and sat down next to Lin Sheng.
"What are you thinking about?"
"Executive member Shen."
"Executive Officer Shen" was in a daze. After hearing Shen Yi's voice, he slowly turned around. When he saw Shen Yi's face illuminated by the fire, he was startled and almost jumped up.
After a while, he came to his senses and saluted Shen Yi again: "Sizheng."
Shen Yi patted the seat next to him and motioned for him to sit down. After Lin Sheng sat down, he quietly asked: "You haven't answered me yet, what were you thinking about just now."
Lin Sheng sat next to Shen Yi and said with a bitter smile: "Sizheng, I killed someone."
"When I started doing it, I felt extremely calm, but afterwards I felt frightened and my whole body was shaking..."
Mr. Shen smiled, patted his shoulder, and said, "It's human nature, it's not strange."
"It'll be fine if you rest for a while."
"You have made a great contribution this time. You don't have to remain anonymous in the future. Everything I promised you will be honored one by one."
"When I report it to the court, I can give you a sixth-grade official status at the lowest, and you can be promoted to fifth-grade in a few years."
Lin Sheng murmured, and then said: "Sizheng, I want to ask you something."
Shen Yi nodded: "You say."
Lin Sheng gritted his teeth and said: "My subordinate also married a wife in Xuzhou City. She is young and innocent..."
Shen Yi looked calm.
"I won't do anything to her, I'll leave it to you to deal with."
"But, let me remind you."
Lin Sheng bowed his head respectfully: "Sizheng, please tell me."
"Executive member Shen Ping, Shen, died tonight."
Mr. Shen spoke with sincerity and sincerity.
"You are now Secretary Lin."
"Siwu Lin has a family. You are in Jiankang and have a wife and children."
Shen Yi paused and said, "If you take her back to Jiankang, it's unlikely that she will be able to grow up. More importantly..."
"She might find out what you did at some point."
"It could take your life at any time."
Lin Sheng was silent for a long time, but still looked up at Shen Yi.
