"Zuo Zongtang is here!"
This simple sentence caused the Baicheng headquarters to explode.
The smiles on all the generals' faces gradually disappeared.
After the German king heard the news, he almost fainted. The ceramic water cup he was holding instantly slipped and shattered on the ground.
"Isn't Zuo Zongtang attacking Bula City? Where did the troops come from? Go and find out!"
The German king slumped in his chair.
"It is indeed Zuo Zongtang's army!"
The signal trooper repeated the information from the beginning.
"I don't want to hear this, tell me where it came from? Where did this come from?"
The German king was furious. Millions of defenders were still fighting bloody battles on the front lines. They could not hold on for a year and a half. But now it was over. Someone came to steal the house.
"Zuo Zongtang is good at using interleaved tactics. We also suffered this loss in the previous battle of Eli."
"However, we are really careful this time. We have been strengthening patrols on the surrounding city walls. These Chinese troops are indeed unpredictable!"
A general next to him explained while covering his forehead with his hands.
"Chinese soldiers have more advanced weapons. There are not enough defenders in Baicheng now. It is too late to inform Bula City and send troops to support. Your Majesty, I'd better run."
Another general broke into a cold sweat while analyzing.
"I have a plan. We will escort your majesty to Fran City overnight, and then notify the garrison of Bra City to send a large army to Fran City for support."
"That's all I can do, I'll go back and clean it up quickly!"
The German king's face became paler and paler.
The Chinese army would not give him much time to think about it, and the siege battle only took place in such a moment.
Bra City Front.
Thousands of Chinese field guns pointed at the city wall of Bura, and the soldiers on the wall trembled.
"Brothers, I am Zuo Zongtang. Let me say the last thing. If you don't surrender, we will open fire!"
"You have also seen the strength of our cannons. You cannot resist them."
Zuo Zongtang went to the front line in person and shouted at the city wall.
The soldiers on the city wall still wanted to surrender, but they were afraid of being killed on the spot by the commander.
"In that case, let's hit him ten times first."
"Signal Corps, notify all artillery units to fire!"
Zuo Zongtang carried the Mauser and loaded the bullet.
Suddenly, thousands of cannonballs hit the defenders, and many broken arms and legs appeared on the city wall, which frightened the recruits.
At this time, news of the request to retreat to Frank City reached the Bra City headquarters.
The commander of Bula City couldn't figure out what was going on, so why did he suddenly retreat to Fran City? In this case, wouldn't the door to Baicheng City be wide open?
Soldiers still have to obey orders.
The soldiers in the city suddenly panicked and retreated as soon as they were told to retreat. Now they were surrounded by the Chinese army, and it was not that easy to break out.
After the first round of shelling, Zuo Zongtang continued to shout.
"I'll give you one last chance. If you don't surrender, we will attack the city."
"Brothers, I am also a German. After surrendering to China, I have good food and drink, and I can also get shares. I no longer have to be oppressed every day."
The Xizhou soldiers who were captured before also shouted.
"There is no need to risk your life for those who oppress you. You will still have many good lives in the future!"
"Compatriots, surrender, the Germans do not lie to the Germans!"
…
The psychological defense line of the defenders on the city began to be gradually broken, and some people began to surrender.
The commander of Bra City could no longer take care of so many people and immediately organized a team to break out from the west gate.
The German soldiers still have some fighting ability.
The Battle of the West Gate of Bra City begins.
clatter! clatter! clatter!
A division commander carried Maxim in his hand and continuously attacked the defenders who broke through.
Many bullets passed by him, and one scratched his left arm, causing blood to flow.
"Grandma, these soldiers are really not weak. Let's wake up and don't be careless!"
"Division Commander, the enemies are coming more and more. Our encirclement is too big. They are concentrating firepower on the west gate. It is difficult for us to stop them. The commander has issued an order to let these German defenders leave."
The signal soldier braved artillery fire, leaned down from the trench and ran to the division commander's side.
"Well, it seems that the higher-ups have other plans. Let's inform everyone. Let's pretend for a while and leave an opening for them to escape, but we must keep fighting!"
The teacher still refused to put down Maxim in his hand.
This bite is not good for eating this big fat man, so what if he lets him run away with a few soldiers? It will really make others anxious, and it will be troublesome to fight you desperately.
At this time, Zuo Zongtang also came to the west gate and confiscated the teacher's Maxim.
"Brother, obey the military order and get out of the way first. Put your gun aside and continue!"
The teacher had no choice but to move.
The defenders of Bra City began to retreat from the west gate while being beaten.
Most of the defenders in the city also chose to surrender, and fighting was out of the question. Now that China said it would allow them to get shares and eat and drink well, who would still be willing to fight for it, as before.
Less than one-third of the defenders were able to escape from Bra City, and the Germanic country was now seriously weakened.
No one expected that Bra City would be captured before Baicheng City was captured. In this way, Baicheng City became an abandoned city, and the Germanic forces began to concentrate in the western city of France.
