Yu Hao, the lord of Chongcheng City, heard that the enemy troops had entered the city. He immediately summoned the garrison in the city and personally went into battle to meet the enemy.
At this time, there was a big chaos on the city gate, and the officers and soldiers on the city finally realized that what was coming was not their own army, but the enemy's army. People sounded the alarm and wanted to raise the drawbridge and close the city gate, but where could they do it now?
It's too late.
The generals of the Zhen Army rode their war horses back and forth among the crowd, shouting constantly to cheer up the soldiers under their command. Their speeches did not have any high-sounding words, and they were very real.
He looked up at the sun above his head, calculated the time, and then said to the generals around him: "The whole army will rest in the city for two hours! After two hours, come back here to assemble! Remember, don't let the brothers
We are only here to grab things, we need to get more rations, it is not certain whether we will be able to grab the next meal!"
The order to set fire to Ba Pass was not given by Nie Ze, but by Ren Fang's military order.
The fire started out of control and spread in all directions. The Sichuan-Zhen Allied Forces did not even try to control it, and set fires everywhere. At noon that day, Baguan, the southern gateway of Feng Kingdom, known as the natural danger, was engulfed in a sea of flames.
The North City was captured, and the military morale in the South City where Yingbu was located was also in chaos, and people were impetuous. It was difficult for the 20,000 defenders to resist the attack of more than 600,000 troops, and now they were defeated even faster.
Soon, the Feng Army was forced off the city wall and retreated into the city. The Sichuan-Zhen Allied Forces took advantage of the situation to attack the city and chased the Feng Army. The difference in strength between the two sides was too great. No matter how powerful the Baguan defenders were, they would not be able to defeat them.
One against ten could not stop the more than 700,000 enemy troops at the front and rear. The offensive ended with the defeat of the Feng army, followed by more bloody street battles. Yingbu led a group of elite soldiers under his command and marched around Baguan City.
Wandering, when encountering a small group of enemy troops, they would rush to kill them. When encountering a large group of enemy troops, they would run away, causing considerable casualties to the Sichuan-Zhen Allied Forces.
The military discipline of the Feng Army was loose enough, but the military discipline of the Zhen Army was even more corrupted to the extreme. The three words "beating, smashing, and robbing" were used to the extreme. When the streets were deserted, the common people shrank in their homes in fear.
Not daring to show their heads, Zhenjun's frantic looting began.
In a hasty response, Yu Hao only summoned more than a thousand local troops. How could he withstand the beast-like Zhen army?
The Zhen army came and left even faster, like wind and clouds. They ran out of Chongcheng and headed north in the blink of an eye.
Chongcheng was completely unprepared for the sudden attack of the Zhen army, and no one even dreamed that the enemy would appear under Chongcheng.
As Yu Hao was beheaded, the Feng army collapsed, and the Zhen army chased them all the way. People had no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the earth. In the end, few people really escaped.
No one paid attention to them. People dragged the unconscious soldiers to the roadside and continued to march. In the Zhen army, there was no concept of killing those who did not save them. If you stay to take care of the unconscious wounded, you may be able to fight with the large army.
If you are out of touch, the result will be a dead end. So people can only grit their teeth and persevere. No matter how hard and tired they are, their legs will be broken, they still have to keep up with the main force.
The defenders of the Feng Kingdom were so vulnerable that the Zhen Army became even crazier and more unscrupulous. Two hundred thousand Zhen Army were running around in the streets. As long as they saw any pedestrians on the street, regardless of gender, they would kill them all.
In addition, he has a deeper intention. He is now unable to divide his troops to garrison Ba Pass. He is very worried that Ba Pass will be seized by Mo State and become the northern natural danger of Mo State. After his own side destroys the wind, the next target of annexation is likely to be Mo State.
country, so he must not let Ba Pass fall into the hands of Mo State. Burning down Ba Pass would also dispel his worries on this level.
The difference between the Feng and Zhen armies can also be seen from the speeches of the generals of the Zhen Army. The retreat of the Feng Army was just a retreat, while the rapid march of the Zhen Army was a march for survival. Under the desire for survival, people can often burst into flames
own potential.
No plague can stop the fire. Burning it out will eliminate future troubles forever. At the same time, the evidence will be destroyed, so as not to bring shame on the face of your country and the monarch.
When the Zhen army was less than one mile away from the city, the city gates were still wide open, and the people and caravans were still going in and out as usual. It was peaceful. The officers and soldiers on the top of the city noticed the army rushing towards them.
However, since the Zhen army did not raise a flag, they did not regard the Zhen army as an enemy army. They only regarded it as their own army retreating back.
When Li Cheng ordered the entire army to assemble on the main street, every Zhen soldier's waist was bulging and full of property. Many people grabbed too much, and strings of pearl necklaces fell through the gaps in the breastplates.
came out.
Chongcheng, which was originally a bustling city, was ravaged by the Zhen army. The city was devastated and people were crying all over the place.
No shop, big or small, in the city was spared. Even if the shop was closed, Zhenjun would break in and take away gold and silver jewelry, silk and satin clothes, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and even the rouge and powder used by women.
But they want everything they can take away.
As a result, their group of wind troops came face-to-face with the Zhen army that rushed over on the main street of the city. The two sides started a life-and-death fight in the city.
"Understood, General!" The Zhenjun generals accepted the order one after another.
The Battle of Baguan can be said to be the most miserable battle that Tang Yin fought since he became the Feng King, and he also suffered the most miserable defeat. Not only did Yingbu and the 70,000 Baguan garrison be wiped out, he was removed from the Feng Army, and even Baguan was eliminated.
Guan was also completely burned by the Sichuan and Zhen coalition forces, leaving only two bare and scarred walls.
"Run! Don't let anyone fall behind. Those who fall behind will only have to wait to be killed by the wind!"
Gao Jun, the general of the Zheng Kingdom, took the lead and charged into the crowd of Feng Jun, slashing and slashing from left to right. There were screams everywhere he passed. He just broke through a bloody path and killed in front of Yu Hao. He raised his sword and dropped it with just one move.
He chopped Yu Hao off his horse.
The defeat of Baguan also made the ambitious Feng Kingdom once again taste the bitterness of the enemy's invasion of its homeland.
These two hours of rest for the Zhen army were the real catastrophe for the people in the city. Two hundred thousand Zhen soldiers moved freely and dispersed throughout the city. They also broke into the homes of the people and attacked valuable things when they saw them.
Take it, if you see a man, kill it. If you see a woman, drag her towards the house.
Zhenjun left, but the damage left to Chongcheng could not be wiped out for a long time. In less than three hours, almost every household in Chongcheng was crying, and almost every family had someone die in Zhencheng.
Under the sword of the army...
Let Fang do this because he has his own ideas. In his opinion, the plague tactic is too inhumane. And now, the plague is spreading in Baguan City. If it is ignored, who knows whether it will spread to Feng Mo and Mo.
Once the plague spreads among the people, then one's own sin will be too great.
This fire seemed to be the prelude to the Sichuan-Zhenren Allied Army's fire attack. The Sichuan-Zhenren Allied Army locked all the plague-infected Feng troops in the barracks, and then the soldiers of the two armies began to add dry firewood around the barracks and set fire to them. Poor people
More than 30,000 soldiers of the Feng Army did not die from the plague virus, but were all burned alive.
He originally used the Fei Long Jing Lei Yue, but during the battle with Jiang Fan, the Yue was taken away by Jiang Fan. Now he has no suitable weapon, so he can only use a knife. But even with a knife, Gao Jun's martial arts has not been defeated.
How much it has been weakened is beyond what Yu Hao, a civil servant, can match.
"If we can't reach the city within two days, we will starve to death. If you don't want to die, run as fast as you can! Fast, fast, fast!"
Let's talk about the 200,000 Zhen army headed by Li Cheng, who started a rapid march towards Chongcheng. This 200,000 army marched almost non-stop, day and night, and marched so fast that it was not much slower than a normal cavalry march.
On the way, Sergeant Youzhen was so tired that he could no longer run. He fainted and fell to the ground while running.
At this time, the entire Chongcheng fell into chaos. People were fleeing everywhere, and Zhen soldiers were chasing unarmed people everywhere. For a time, the bustling Chongcheng became a lawless slaughterhouse for Zhen soldiers.
Countless Zhen soldiers swarmed into the city. Seeing such a prosperous city, they were like locusts seeing crops. Their eyes were glowing blue. They cut down people when they saw them, robbed things when they saw them, and saw something for sale on the street.
For snacks, Zhenjun, who was extremely hungry, rushed up to a large group of people, grabbed the food and stuffed it into his mouth.
However, as more and more Sichuan and Zhen coalition forces entered the city, Yingbu's room for maneuver became smaller and smaller. In the end, the number of soldiers around him was reduced to a few hundred, and he was trapped in a house by tens of thousands of enemy troops.
The Chinese and British troops preferred death to surrender and defended the house. They only had a few hundred people, but they fought back several attacks by tens of thousands of enemy troops. Finally, the Sichuan and Zhen coalition forces also became anxious and used fire attacks to set fire to the house.
Then, the Feng Kingdom general Yingbu and his soldiers were all buried in the sea of fire.
It is hard to imagine that the 200,000 Zhen Army ran all the way from Shangxing Mountain to Chongcheng in only two days, which was a full day earlier than the Feng Army who took a shortcut.
After burning Ba Pass, the Sichuan-Zhen coalition took a short rest and then headed north to pursue the main force of the Feng Army.
The Zhen army led by Li Chengwei hardly encountered any obstruction and rushed to the city gate in one breath. The Zhen soldiers waved their weapons and slashed and killed crazily, regardless of whether the people in front were civilians or officers and soldiers.
These are no longer the regular army of a country, but bandits who are more barbaric than bandits.
Seeing an opportunity, Li Cheng, the leader of the Zhen army, sent the order and the whole army advanced, rushing into the city with great force.
The corps commanders and commanders of each corps did not mention their names at all. After all the corps were assembled, Li Cheng gave the order and the entire army marched out of the city and headed straight for the next target - Textile City.
The military discipline of the Zhen army was lax, but they were highly obedient to the orders of their superiors. Two hours later, not one of the 200,000 people dared to be late, and they all gathered in the main street of Chongcheng.
Li Cheng was completely indifferent to his subordinates' behavior. The soldiers worked hard for him. He didn't have much military pay for his subordinates, so it was only right for his subordinates to snatch what they liked on the battlefield. This was also Li Cheng's consistent principle.
