Chapter 334 The foundation of kingship has been completed!
At the same time, Li Xuan, who had been paying attention to the development of the situation outside the city, could not believe his eyes. Li Chunjing actually led people into the city gate, and there was no ambush.
The Ming army was in complete chaos.
Even if it was night and he couldn't see anything, the large number of torches on the top of the city could still allow him to see the chaos on top of the city.
Regarding this matter, he knew that he could no longer hesitate or wait any longer. He must immediately launch an all-army attack. Maybe he would be able to capture Xingquan Fucheng tonight without waiting until tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
While waiting for the next morning, I could put up a notice to calm the people in Xingquan Mansion.
"Send the order, the entire army will attack and capture Xingquan City!"
As he spoke, he turned his attention to Hao Bainian, and then said: "Hao Aiqing, lead the main force of our headquarters into the city and eliminate the remaining enemies in the city as soon as possible!"
"I obey the order!" Hao Bainian immediately accepted the order and said: "I will definitely let your Majesty see a Xingquan city that belongs to our Tang Dynasty before dawn!"
Li Xuan nodded slightly: "Go!"
Hao Bainian led the core force of the 1st Infantry Battalion, 2nd Infantry Battalion and 1st Mixed Battalion, while Li Xuan personally led the remaining 3rd Infantry Battalion, 4th Infantry Battalion, garrison battalion and archers.
The army, artillery team and other units will serve as the main force of the Chinese army to advance.
Ever since, new changes have appeared on the battlefield!
The Ming army on the city wall was in great chaos. At the south city gate, the reinforced Ming army was already fighting with the 300 Tang army with the second mixed battalion as the core.
The more than a thousand troops led by Hao Bainian also advanced rapidly towards the south gate like a huge fire dragon. As for other directions, there were also a large number of Tang soldiers advancing with torches.
This scene was seen by the Ming army defenders who were still on top of the city, and they became even more panicked!
The puppet Tang rebels outside the city have launched a general attack, and the South City Gate has been lost. Many puppet Tang rebels are pouring into the city through the South Gate.
This Xingquan City was really attacked!
This is not because they are scaring themselves, but because it is a fact!
Under such circumstances, even the most optimistic Ming army generals would not dare to say that they could still defend Xingquan City!
Defeat is certain, and the city's destruction is certain. The only thing they need to consider is how to save their lives.
In addition to saving your life, you also need to consider how to reduce your responsibilities and avoid being punished by the court.
But some people thought about how to reduce their responsibilities, while others thought of other ways. Many middle and low-level Ming army generals remembered the rumors that the puppet Tang rebels treated the Ming army's surrendered generals well at the same time.
Perhaps, defecting to this pseudo-Tang bandit army is also a good choice?
The Chen Baihu at the South City Gate were able to surrender to the puppet Tang rebels, why couldn't they?
They are much more awesome than Chen Baihu, right?
At this time, most people didn't know that Chen Baihu was still sleeping. It was not Chen Baihu who opened the city gate, but Wang Mazi, who was usually inconspicuous and ignored or even despised by them.
Inspection.
After all, the situation is chaotic now, so the soldiers of the Ming army who rushed to the South City Gate to fight against the puppet Tang rebels actually didn't know what happened at the South City Gate. They could only think that Chen Baihu had surrendered to the enemy and opened the door.
city gate.
However, this illusion is no longer important. What is important is that the puppet Tang rebel army has entered the city. What is important is that except for a few of the Ming army soldiers who are still resisting, most of them either ran away or surrendered or planned to surrender.
.
For the new army of the Tang Dynasty, Xingquan City has been taken, and all that remains is to control the entire city and eliminate the remaining enemies in the city.
The battle at the South City Gate did not last long. The hundreds of Ming troops who came in for reinforcements could not hold on for long. Many people were killed and wounded quickly, some fled, and some surrendered.
After Hao Bainian also led his troops to the south city gate, Li Chunjing had already led his troops up to the city wall and began to clear out the remaining enemies of the Ming army on the top of the city along the city wall.
After Hao Bainian looked around, he immediately said: "The first infantry battalion and the second infantry battalion immediately entered the city and captured the major strategic points. The first mixed battalion stationed at the city gate and cooperated with the second mixed battalion to eliminate the remaining enemies at the top of the city!"
After Hao Bainian gave the order, the First Infantry Battalion and the Second Infantry Battalion divided into two groups, and then began to advance towards the main road in the city. Their targets were naturally the prefect's Yamen, government warehouses and other important locations!
As the two infantry battalions of the New Army of the Tang Dynasty officially entered the city, the peace in Xingquan Prefecture was completely broken. From time to time, children crying could be heard from both sides of the street. I don’t know how many pairs of eyes looked through the windows and door panels to see what was happening.
Soldiers of the New Army of the Tang Dynasty marching on the street.
Most of these ordinary people looked at what was happening in front of them with fear and trembling. They were afraid and panicked, but they could not do anything and did not dare to do anything. They did not even dare to light a candle for fear of causing trouble.
Come to the soldiers of the New Army of the Tang Dynasty.
At this time, in the magistrate's yamen, Xingquan Prefecture's fellow magistrate Chang Zhuo, who replaced Song Zhiwen to support the overall situation, sat blankly as if he had lost all his life.
He had just received the latest battle report. The puppet Tang rebel army had entered the city. The Bailin County government office not far from the magistrate's office had been breached. The Bailin County magistrate was missing.
Not only the magistrate of Bailin County, but also other officials disappeared to unknown places at this time. No one came to the prefect's Yamen at this moment.
After Chang Zhu sighed, he stood up from his chair, walked to the desk, and then picked up a small bottle on the table.
He touched it with his hand, and then showed a wry smile: "I didn't expect that it would be put to use in the end!"
After saying this, he unscrewed the cork and drank from the bottle with his mouth!
After drinking, he looked back and saw a few people running around in a panic outside the door. He could vaguely hear them saying: "They are coming to the Yamen!"
At the same time, he also heard crisp crackling sounds. This was the sound of the fire blunderbuss fired by the puppet army of the Tang Dynasty. It was crisp and sweet, but it was nothing but a military weapon!
The crisp sound of gunfire was accompanied by shouts and screams, but slowly, he couldn't hear any sound anymore, and then he fell to the ground with a plop, and he didn't even make the slightest scream when he jumped.
He screamed and fell to the ground silently.
Not long after, a group of soldiers from the Tang Army broke into his room. When the soldiers from the Tang Army came up and took a look, they saw that Chang Zhu was bleeding from all his orifices and lifeless.
"Unfortunately, another one died! He was still a fifth-grade official, what a pity!" The leading platoon leader looked regretful. It would be great if he could be captured alive. Maybe he would be able to compete with Song who captured Su Jiakang.
Just like Bei, here comes an official who has been promoted to a higher level.
You must know that Song Bei, who captured Su Jiakang in the first place, is now very prosperous in his official career. He has been promoted from platoon leader to deputy team officer.
After taking Xingquan Fucheng and expanding the army, I will definitely continue to be promoted. It will be easy to become a team officer by then.
Although the platoon leader of the Tang Army was disappointed that he could not capture Chang Chuan alive, the dead fifth-grade official was still useful. He immediately had Chang Chun's body carried away and handed over to the superiors for confirmation. This was more or less considered
A small achievement.
Although the small-scale fighting in the city was still going on, Li Xuan outside the city could not wait to bring the main force into the city. When he entered Xingquanfu City on his tall horse, Wang Wenhua next to him jumped out and said
"Congratulations to your majesty, congratulations to your majesty, you will have a happy spring tonight, and I, the king of the Tang Dynasty, will have a successful foundation!"
