Liu Yan immediately ordered all battalions of the New Army to attack in an all-out manner, ordered the artillery battalion to suspend shelling, and gave up the frontal attack to the soldiers of each battalion.
Liu Yan's order was first conveyed to the cavalry camp, and Xu Ming shouted excitedly: "Brothers, follow me and charge into the city!"
At this time, the soldiers of the New Army Cavalry Battalion experienced a company-wide surprise attack. At this time, there were more than 12,000 people in the establishment, and there were still about 11,000 people. Under the leadership of Xu Ming, they all rode their horses and began to charge. The New Army Cavalry Battalion The soldiers were the fastest and quickly passed through the New Army artillery camp.
Qian Qian looked at the cavalry battalion soldiers charging past on horseback. He waved excitedly and shouted: "Charge, kill! Destroy the bandits!"
Iron hooves are rolling.
Outside the South City Gate of Quyang County, a large number of rogue knights were crowding at the city gate. Although Ai Nengqi had already entered the city, he still rode his horse and stayed inside the South City Gate. Seeing the crowd outside the city gate, it was impossible to enter the city quickly. A large number of knights and cavalrymen were so angry that they yelled and cursed. The previous arrangements and training were all in vain!
“Everyone forms a team and enters the city immediately, don’t crowd!”
Ainengqi shouted at the top of his lungs, but it didn't help. The city gate was crowded with rogue knights vying for the first place. Soldiers and horses were crowding and trampling on each other. It was like a huge can, and all people and things were crowded together. , no one can get out.
At this moment, there was a violent vibration outside the city gate. With the flash of fire, ashes and gravel continued to fall from the top of the city gate. Ai Nengqi saw a large number of knights and horses flying with blood and flesh. This was Liu Yan's thunder. !
boom!
Then there was another explosion, and then there was a third explosion. The successive explosions caused people in Quyang County to
The southern city gate became crumbling, and the bandits and knights who crowded here were killed and wounded in a mess. Where people were crowded and horses were fighting, now there are only stumps and broken arms and flesh and blood everywhere. It is impossible to tell which part belongs to human beings. , which part is the war horse.
"Fire the arrow!"
Seeing such a bloody scene, Enengqi was filled with fear and anger, and immediately roared loudly at the hundreds of knights gathered around him.
At this time, the Xiaoqi in each battalion of the bandits were equipped with bows and arrows or hand crossbows. Although the shapes were different, basically most of the Xiaoqi were equipped with long-range weapons.
Following Ai Nengqi's order, hundreds of knights fired arrows one after another. The dense arrows instantly blocked the purgatory-like city gate. Dozens of the New Army cavalry battalion officers who were rushing to the front were shot down immediately!
boom!
boom!
Immediately afterwards, the counterattack from the New Army cavalry battalion officers came. The cavalry battalion officers who rushed to the front raised their blunderbuss and opened fire. Some of the soldiers who had already fired, but had not had time to reload their blunderbuss, ignited the Zhentian they carried. Ray, throwing hard to the front.
The powerful firepower of the New Army Cavalry Battalion was concentrated in a small area inside the city gate, immediately killing most of the hundreds of knights gathered by Ai Nengqi. The air wave generated by the explosion of the thunderbolt also made Ai Nengqi feel suffocated. , the pale-faced horseman retreated, and a large number of surrounding bandit firearms battalion soldiers fled towards the city, and no one listened to Ainengqi's order.
"General, retreat quickly, we can't defend this place!"
Ai Nengqi nodded reluctantly, and then, under the protection of more than a dozen personal guards, he galloped towards the city, intending to evacuate to the city near the county government office. Where were there some armored soldiers?
With the fire gunners setting up defenses, perhaps by gathering the soldiers and horses there, they can concentrate their forces to regain control of the south city gate.
Suddenly, a thunderbolt exploded not far ahead. The iron nails and broken pieces of porcelain in the thunderstorm swept over and directly killed the horse under Ainengqi's crotch. Ainengqi threw himself down with a horrified cry. On the ground, the surrounding guards were also killed by the cavalry battalion soldiers chasing after them.
Xu Ming saw Ai Nengqi who fell in front of him at a glance, and immediately shouted: "Catch him! Catch him!"
More than a dozen cavalry battalion soldiers excitedly rushed forward, and soon a dozen spears were pressed in front of Ai Nengqi's eyes. Ai Nengqi had been smashed to pieces at this time, and when he suddenly saw the scene in front of him, he immediately He was stunned on the spot, his face turned red and white for a while, and there was a lot of sadness in his heart. Suddenly he roared and slammed his hands on the ground, as if he was crazy.
At this time, Xu Ming rode up to the side, looked at Ai Nengqi in front of him, and asked coldly: "Are you Li Dingguo, or Ai Nengqi?"
Ai Nengqi didn't answer, still venting his grief and anger.
Xu Ming waved his hand and said: "Tie him up and take him into custody immediately outside the city!"
"yes!"
After Ai Nengqi was tied up by Wuhua Da and escorted outside the city by dozens of cavalry battalion soldiers, Xu Ming led the cavalry battalion soldiers to start charging into the city.
At the same time, the New Army's front camp, rear camp, left camp, and right camp also rushed in from the south gate of Quyang County, and then began to kill towards the east and west city walls and gates, as well as a large number of New Army soldiers. Form a formation and attack the city.
At this time, Chen Xun, Wang Yue, Wang Bo and others applied the tactics previously promoted in street fighting.
They got up and sent some soldiers to climb onto the neighboring roofs and provide cover from a high position. In this way, the soldiers of each battalion of the New Army made smooth progress in the street fighting. The crossfire formed was extremely fierce, killing and wounding the soldiers and horses of the Rogue Firearms Battalion along the way. It was so heavy that even the fire gun soldiers in the camp could not resist it, and they were beaten and fled.
"Ha ha!"
The war in Quyang County was progressing smoothly. Outside the south gate, Qian Qian also led the soldiers of the artillery battalion to advance closer and occupied the barracks of the artillery team of the Liuthi Firearms Battalion.
Looking at the large number of artillery in the camp, Qian Qian laughed excitedly and hurriedly ordered his soldiers to check the status of the artillery everywhere. At the same time, he sent people to guard the surroundings to prevent bandits from breaking out and attacking nearby.
Soon, subordinates from all parties began to come over to report. Qian Qian sorted out the reports from all parties and found that there were still more than 200 artillery pieces in the camp that could be used. The remaining artillery pieces were not destroyed by the firepower of the New Army artillery battalion. It was deliberately damaged by the gunners and soldiers of the bandits.
"Haha! It's really a lot!"
Qian Qian immediately ordered people to sort out all the captured artillery, gunpowder, shells and other materials, and transfer them all to the direction of the Chinese Army in the rear. After checking the status of the captured artillery one by one, he decided whether to equip them into the New Army artillery camp.
"That's... Mr. Ge's army?"
At this time, Qian Cong suddenly saw the big banner in the distance and the soldiers of the brigade moving forward. It was the soldiers of the Guards Battalion led by Liu Yan and Miao Shao.
Liu Yan rode his horse to follow the army formation, and saw that many soldiers from the New Army battalions had already rushed up on the south city wall. The soldiers and horses of the Liuthi Firearms Battalion stationed on the south city wall were unable to resist at this time, and they collapsed in various directions.
escape.
The sound of fighting on the top of the city was very loud, but with the help of the torches on the top of the city and the firelight shining everywhere, Liu Yan could see more clearly that the soldiers of the new army opened the way with blunderbuss and thunder, and then formed a formation with bayonets. The charge to kill the defeated soldiers progressed very smoothly. They quickly defeated the bandit defense line on the south city wall and began to stride forward to occupy the defensive position on the top of the city.
"Boss!"
Shen Wen led dozens of his subordinates to form a formation on the south city wall. He saw Lao Bai's men in front being counterattacked by a small group of rogue fire gunmen. After a roar of fire guns, Lao Bai and more than 20 men The soldiers were hit, and seven or eight soldiers from the rear camp fell to the ground instantly.
Lao Bai was also hit by a bullet. Fortunately, the lead bullet hit the outside of the breastplate. The lead bullet was embedded directly inside and did not penetrate. Lao Bai's face turned pale with fright. He was truly a "Lao Bai".
"Damn, I was scared to death!"
Shen Wen rushed over with his men, and with one volley fired, he defeated the small group of thieves and gunmen in front, killing more than a dozen people and opening up the passage ahead.
Lao Bai's anger and blood surged up, and he yelled: "Charge with me and kill me!"
In front of everyone was the South City Tower. Shen Wen, Lao Bai's troops and the surrounding sentry officers gathered together. At least hundreds of people rushed to the vicinity of the city tower. The soldiers and horses of the Liuthief Firearms Battalion gathered here were quickly killed, and everyone The soldiers directly surrounded the tower.
"There's a big fish in there!"
Shen Wen looked at the closed gate of the city tower. Through the gaps between the windows and door panels, he could see the figures inside. Looking at the armor and clothes, he could tell that many of them were the bandits' personal guards and elite knights.
So Shen Wen excitedly told the old man
Bai said: "There must be a high-ranking official here who is rogue. Shall we rush in?"
Lao Bai looked around and saw that he, Bai Zong, was the highest officer nearby, and the rest of the soldiers were the soldiers and flag commanders of various sentries. So Lao Bai naturally took over the command and shouted loudly: "Get ready for the Zhentian Lei. Blast the door open for me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Wen and several soldiers prepared several thunderbolts that could be ignited and thrown at any time.
At this moment, the door of Nancheng Tower suddenly opened from the inside. Shen Wen, Lao Bai and others were startled and took two steps back, nervously on guard.
Under the gaze of everyone, dozens of elite bandits gave up their weapons and walked out. Behind everyone, there was also a bandit general. Shen Wen, Lao Bai and other soldiers looked at each other, only to hear the bandit general say in a sad tone: "I am Li Dingguo, the firearms camp general. If you can stop the attack, I can lead my troops to surrender, otherwise we will fight to the bitter end!"
"surrender?"
Shen Wen, Lao Bai and others were overjoyed and hurriedly sent someone to report to Liu Yan.
At this time, Liu Yan and Miao Shao had led their troops into Quyang County, and the soldiers of the Guards Battalion were on guard near the south gate.
After receiving the report from Shen Wen and Lao Bai, Liu Yan and Miao Shao were very surprised and immediately led dozens of guards to the South City Tower.
"Are you Li Dingguo?"
Liu Yan looked at Li Dingguo, who was only in his twenties. He was eight feet tall and handsome. Liu Yan was very surprised that he was such a young general made by thieves. He was famous in history. Facing the Qing Dynasty who had already entered the pass and was overwhelming The king of Jin, who was still able to achieve a brilliant record of "famous kings of two tribes and shocking the world" despite his army, was originally
It looks like this.
At this time, Li Dingguo was also stunned. The world-famous and invincible Duke of Lu, Liu Yan, turned out to be so young. He was not at all the middle-aged and calm veteran he imagined. He turned out to be as young as himself!
After the two were stunned for a while, Li Dingguo knelt down on one knee first, clasped his fists and said, "Li Dingguo, the defeated general, pays homage to Duke Lu!"
Liu Yan laughed loudly, ignored Miao Shao's obstruction, walked directly to Li Dingguo, helped Li Dingguo up with both hands, and said: "General Li can come to surrender, I sincerely welcome it, so I ordered the entire army to stop attacking, and also invited Li Dingguo to The general ordered the soldiers of the Firearms Battalion to surrender their weapons to avoid further casualties!"
Li Dingguo looked at the kind smile on Liu Yan's face. Although he was beating a drum in his heart, he had no other way out at this time, so he clasped his fists and said, "How dare you disobey me!"
