After climbing the city wall, Pierdan hacked to death a gunman of the Dashun Army without any explanation. When he glanced to the side with the corner of his eye, he immediately realized that he had alerted the surrounding defenders. If he hadn't
After dealing with the two remaining fire gunmen in front of him, he will definitely end up miserable if he is surrounded.
"kill!"
The red-eyed Pierdan rushed towards the two people in front of him. The ammunition in the hands of the two gunmen had just been knocked out. Now when he saw Pierdan rushing towards him holding a steel knife, he immediately turned back the gun.
He turned around one by one, holding the barrel of the gun and smashing the butt towards Pierdan. After all, the firecrackers of this period also served as cold weapons, and the huge and heavy butt could also hit people to death.
Pierdan was also a ruthless person. He raised a steel shield with his left hand to protect his head and rushed forward without retreating.
With two consecutive "bang!" sounds, two huge gun butts hit the round shield. Pierdan felt a huge force coming from the shield, and his left hand holding the shield felt a burning pain. He didn't need to look at it.
He knew that the tiger's mouth on his left hand must be broken. He gritted his teeth, and before the two people in front had time to stop, he struck hard with the steel knife in his right hand.
"ah......."
A scream rang out again, and the body of a fire gunman on the right was chopped off in half. He screamed and fell to the ground. He watched his two companions fall in front of him one after another. The last remaining fire gunman
The gunman finally couldn't bear it anymore, so he dropped the gun in his hand, turned around and ran towards his companions behind him. When Pierdan saw the enemy turning around and running away, he immediately threw out the steel knife in his hand without thinking, and the steel sword leaped out.
The knife penetrated the back of the fire gunman a few steps away, and the sharp sword was exposed from his chest. The fire gunman fell down without saying a word.
He killed three enemies in a row. Even though Pierdan was very strong, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. He stood there panting. He did not go to the newly killed fire gunman and use his steel weapon.
Instead of pulling out the sword, he handed the shield from his injured left hand to his right hand, because seven or eight pikemen with spears were already approaching him. It was too late to pull out the weapon.
Just as Pi Erdan was holding a shield and looking at the spearmen who were slowly approaching from the side, he covered his body with the shield and slowly retreated. He was also secretly complaining in his heart at this time. He had just killed
The three fire gunners had already exhausted his energy. If these spearmen were to get close to him, he would only end up dead.
Slowly retreating to the edge of the city wall, Pierdan's back was already pressed against the wall bricks behind him, feeling the cold and hard wall bricks behind him. Pierdan's heart also became cold. At this time, he
With only a shield in his hand, he couldn't deal with the spearmen on the opposite side.
Just when Pi Erdan was about to close his eyes and wait for death, several more figures emerged from his side. These figures came to him and protected Pi Erdan behind him. It turned out to be Pi Erdan's subordinates.
Several soldiers also climbed up the city wall, and a total of four people quickly protected their captain.
A sword and shield soldier was on guard and asked loudly: "Boss, are you okay?"
Pierdan breathed a long sigh of relief and said in a muffled voice: "It's okay. Brothers, be careful and hold on until the brothers catch up." After saying this, Pierdan looked forward.
Look at the place where he climbed up just now. There is no one there, obviously the people below have not had time to catch up.
The four sword and shield soldiers protected Pierdan while confronting the seven or eight spearmen in front.
The two sides glared at each other like a bullfight, and a murderous aura suddenly broke out in front of everyone. Soon, these spearmen lost their patience, roared in unison, and stabbed several people with the spears in their hands at the same time.
Extremely vicious.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
Several heavy collisions were heard in succession. Seven or eight spears pierced the shields, making a crisp sound, and then a series of collisions continued.
Spears are the main attack. As the saying goes, one inch is longer and one inch is stronger. The powerful attack power of spears has always been the favorite of soldiers in war. However, Pierdan and the other sword and shield soldiers pay attention to the necrotic offensive and defensive balance. Faced with both quantity and length,
The few spearmen who occupied the upper peak had no choice but to retreat. What was worse was that the fierce fighting on their side attracted the attention of the surroundings, and more and more Dashun soldiers ran towards this direction.
But Pierdan, who had long lost the weapon in his hand, could only helplessly hide behind his companions and worry secretly. He looked at the soldiers who were constantly coming towards him. Pierdan touched his body randomly. Soon he felt it on his waist.
A cold cylindrical object, he suddenly felt happy, how could he forget this thing.
Without any time to think about it, he immediately took out the thing and held it in his hand. He also took out a fire stick and blew it hard a few times. Soon the fire stick lit up. Just as Pierdan was doing these things
, the several companions who were fighting fiercely with the Dashun Army in front of him were outnumbered, and two of them had been injured to varying degrees. Seeing that the formation of the four companions was about to be broken.
Seeing that you were in an urgent matter, Pierdan didn't care much. He put the fire stick to the cylindrical object, and soon there was a chirping sound, and then Pierdan yelled: "
Brothers, get down quickly and get ready to explode!"
After saying that, he threw the thing in his hand towards the spearmen of Dashun Army, then immediately turned around and ran back two steps before lying on the ground like a dog chewing mud, while the sword and shield soldiers
As soon as he heard Pierdan's words, his expression immediately changed. They all jumped back and then fell to the ground.
"boom!"
A deafening loud noise sounded behind them, because what Pierdan just threw was the Thunderbolt of the Great Zhou Army. Although this extremely primitive grenade contained only black powder, due to its large charge
The black gunpowder, which was very large and weighed two kilograms, exploded with astonishing power. The iron sheet wrapped around it exploded into dozens of fragments and flew around.
After the explosion, the seven or eight Dashun sergeants who were originally huddled together had disappeared. Only a pile of minced meat was left on the ground. The large thunderbolt that exploded under their feet had already blown them away.
Up to heaven.
Less than ten steps away from them, the weapons in the hands of Pierdan and several of his subordinates flew to nowhere. At this time, it was like ten thousand flies were screaming collectively in their heads.
Their ears were ringing, and it was difficult to stand up. Dozens of Dashun soldiers who were frightened by the explosion a few dozen steps away stood cowering, looking at the thick smoke rising in front of them.
I didn't dare to come over for a while.
After a long time, Pierdan shook his head vigorously. He slowly got up. He shook several soldiers around him. After being shaken awake, these soldiers also took out the Hongtian weapons from their waists.
Lei, taking advantage of the brief opportunity when the surrounding Zhou soldiers were frightened, ignited the thunder in his hand and threw it around.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
A series of explosions sounded on the city wall. The flying fragments and rubble stirred up by the explosion caused huge damage to the defenders on the city wall. The area within dozens of steps around Pierdan and others was in a mess.
There are traces of the explosion everywhere.
The efforts of Pierdan and others were not in vain. During this period, dozens of Da Zhou soldiers climbed up the city wall.
"Captain Pi, you did a great job! After the war, I will ask the prince to take credit for you!" A commander also climbed up. He patted Pi Erdan on the shoulder and praised him.
As more and more sergeants climbed up the city wall, the Zhou army finally occupied a section of the city wall. More and more soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty climbed up the city wall. Under the command of a hundred generals, they began to attack the surrounding areas.
The situation here was seen with a telescope by Pang Gang, who was watching the battle from behind. Pang Gang's eyes showed a hint of joy. He shouted loudly: "Okay! Tell Cheng Kai to speed up the attack and don't give the thieves a chance to breathe."
Machine. As long as we capture the south gate, the city of Beijing will be ours."
Following Pang Gang's order, the attack intensity at the south gate also increased. After gaining a firm foothold, Cheng Kai immediately mobilized a battalion of riflemen to mount the city wall. After a while, bursts of gunfire began to sound on the city wall.
The sound of gunfire......
News of the defeat in the South Gate battle soon reached Li Zicheng's ears. A commander covered in blood stumbled to Li Zicheng and reported: "King Chuang, it's not good. The Zhou army has attacked the city wall.
The brothers can no longer withstand it, and all the brothers under the villain have been killed or injured."
"All dead and wounded?" Li Zicheng's face could have scraped a layer of ice. He held the handle of the sword at his waist with his right hand, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. He said coldly: "Since all your brothers are dead.
It’s gone. Why are you still alive!”
The commander stammered and still had to distinguish, "I...ah..."
A cold light flashed, and the commander was killed on the spot by Li Zicheng. Li Zicheng held the bloody sword in his hand and said coldly to Li Guo beside him: "Brother Li Guo, you are responsible for the defense of the south gate.
Now that it has been attacked by the enemy, it is up to you to capture it. If you cannot recapture the south gate, you know the consequences!" Li Zicheng's words were full of determination.
Li Guo also knew that the life and death of the Dashun Army was now at stake. If they could not recapture the South Gate, the fate of the Dashun Army was almost doomed. He smiled miserably and said: "King Chuang, I have been following you for ten years. Don't worry.
If Beizhi can't take back the south gate section of the city wall after burning incense, you won't see Beizhi in the future."
After saying that, Li Guo took a spear from the hands of one of his subordinates behind him and shouted loudly to the people around him: "Brothers from Zuoying and Youqu, follow me. If we can't take back the city wall, we will die there together."
Bar!"
After speaking, Li Guo took the lead and ran over with his gun. Behind him were thousands of Dashun soldiers armed with various weapons. A fierce siege and defense battle began again.
At the same time, after occupying a section of the city wall, hundreds of riflemen also climbed up the city wall under the cover of sword and shield soldiers. Once hundreds of riflemen formed a formation, it would be very terrifying.
When the sound rang out, countless Dashun soldiers rushed towards them and fell into a pool of blood. In this way, as more and more people came up to the city wall, the area occupied by the Zhou army became larger and larger like a snowball.
As time passed slowly, more and more gaps were broken through by the Zhou army. If you look down from the sky, you can see that countless soldiers wearing black armor occupied more and more places, and because of the lack of space on the city wall,
The number of soldiers wearing brown armor in the city was limited, but they could not all go up to the city wall to defend themselves. As a result, they became more and more passive, and more and more places were lost.
"King Chuang, our people can't hold on any longer. Let's retreat first. Just now... Li Guo also died in the battle just now!"
On the south gate of the city gate, a panting Liu Zongmin ran up to Li Zicheng. His left hand had been decorated at some point and was wrapped haphazardly with a cloth belt.
"King Chuang. The south gate has been breached in many places. Our men and horses are about to be unable to defend it. King Chuang, let's retreat first!" Liu Zongmin, who was in a hurry, accidentally used the past as a beard.
The slang words came out.
Seeing Liu Zongmin's panicked look, Li Zicheng calmly reprimanded: "Why panic? We still have hundreds of thousands of troops. We still have a chance to rebel. As long as our soldiers use their lives, we can annihilate Pang Gang here."
As long as we defeat Pang Gang, who else in the world can stop us!"
Song Xiance saw that Li Zicheng had lost his money like a gambler who had lost his entire camp. He was secretly anxious and stood up and said: "King Chuang, now that Nancheng is about to be lost, we still have to organize the manpower while we still have troops.
Break out of the siege and leave the green hills behind, so you don’t have to worry about having no firewood!”
After listening to Song Xiance's agreement with Liu Zongmin's words, Li Zicheng's eyes flashed with a look of hesitation, and he turned to Niu Jinxing and said, "Master Niu, what do you think?"
At this time, Niu Jinxing was also frightened by the battle situation at this time. Hearing Li Zicheng's inquiry, he gritted his teeth and said: "King Chuang, the Song military advisor is right. The situation is not good now. We should return to Shaanxi quickly to try to make a comeback.
."
Seeing that both the generals and military advisors under him agreed to retreat, Li Zicheng still hesitated and said: "But now that the enemy has blocked the city gate, how can we rush out?"
Seeing that Li Zicheng was still worrying about gains and losses, Li Yan on the side sighed secretly, always lamenting why he never realized that he was a person who could afford it but couldn't let go. Now that someone has made dumplings, he still can't bear to part with those pots and jars. Could it be that he really
Do you want to live or die with the capital?
Seeing that Li Zicheng was still hesitating, Niu Jinxing became anxious and quickly said: "King Chuang, don't hesitate any more. As the saying goes, if you save the land and lose the people, you will lose both the people and the land. Don't be confused. As long as we can get back
We will reorganize our troops and horses after arriving in Shaanxi. We still have a chance to come back. If you are worried about the interception of the Zhou army outside the city, we can break out in four directions at the same time. As long as we can break out, the seeds of our rebel army will not be cut off.
"
Li Zicheng looked outside the surrounding city walls again and found that the surroundings were still in chaos. With his years of military experience, he knew that Niu Jinxing and the others were right. Although he still had a hundred thousand troops in his hands,
If we don't break out of the encirclement as soon as possible, maybe they will all be trapped here.
Thinking of this, Li Zicheng finally made up his mind, stamped his feet and said: "Okay, let's break out immediately. Gu decided that we should break out in four groups, Jiexuan, Dingguo, Waiqi, each leading a group of troops from the east, south, and
Break out from three directions in the west, Gu Heniu's military division, and Song's military division break out from the north gate. After everyone breaks through, they will meet in Xi'an!"
"As you command!"
After receiving the order, everyone immediately got off the city wall and hurriedly prepared to leave. Half an hour later, all nine city gates of Beijing suddenly opened wide, and countless soldiers wearing gray-brown armor poured out like a torrent.
The actions of the Shun army shocked Pang Gang, who was commanding the army to attack the city.
Anxious, he immediately changed his order: "Quickly, order each legion to defend its own direction, block the enemy's army, and never let the bandits escape. Whoever lets Li Zi go will be questioned by the king!"
With Li Zicheng's breakout, the original siege quickly turned into a huge melee. Hundreds of thousands of horses and horses fought in a ball on land dozens of kilometers in radius. Dashun's army desperately wanted to rush out, but
The Zhou army was desperately trying to close the gap. For a time, the battlefield was so dark that there was no light from the sun or the moon.
This melee lasted until evening and was finally declared over. Except for a small part of the Dashun army that broke through and escaped, more than 30,000 of the remaining army of more than 100,000 people died in the battle, and the remaining nearly 100,000 people all surrendered.
Pang Gang was standing on a large car. Lu Kuanliang led thousands of personal guards to surround the area hundreds of steps away. Looking at the posture of those personal guards, even if a mouse wanted to approach Pang Gang, they would have to give their consent.
OK.
A knight with a small red flag on his back came galloping towards him. The guards around him looked at him and asked him to come over. When the knight came to Pang Gang, he dismounted and half-knelt down towards Pang Gang and shouted loudly.
Report: "Report, General Huang has come to report that the Second Army has completely annihilated Liu Zongmin's rear camp of 30,000 troops outside the east gate. Liu Zongmin himself has been killed by General Huang because of his stubborn resistance!"
"I know, let's go down!" Pang Gang waved his hand calmly and let him go down.
"Report! General Cheng has come to report that he has surrounded and annihilated all the traitors from the right camp outside the south gate, and killed more than 20,000 traitors including General Li Dingguo!"
"Report! General Bin came to report that he wiped out all the bandits and troops in the front camp outside the west gate, and captured more than 20,000 bandits including Hao Yaoqi alive!"
Good news came to Pang Gang one by one, but Lu Kuanliang, who had been by Pang Gang's side, noticed that his boss didn't show much joy on his face.
Lu Kuanliang couldn't help but wonder why the prince was still not happy after wiping out so many bandits. At this time, Pang Gang asked the knight who came to report:
"Is there any news about the bandit leader Li Zicheng?"
The knights shook their heads one after another: "Your Majesty, there is no news about the bandit leader yet!"
Pang Gang's brows slowly wrinkled. If Li Zicheng was really allowed to escape, there would be endless trouble... (To be continued...)
