Chapter 392 Swimming attack on Gaoyou
Last time I saw EDG win the championship, so I used 'Lee Hyunjun', hahaha
Li Xuanjun had no expression on his face. Facing Chen Daquan, who was more than ten years older than him, he nodded: "As a vanguard regiment, our regiment must not embarrass our 39th Division. This time the Qing army defended Gaoyou in such a posture that they made a desperate move." situation, but according to the stories of the people who fled, all the red-coated soldiers in Gaoyou City are there. From this, we can infer that most of the people defending the city are the puppet troops of the Han Army Banner. If the puppet troops defend the city, Gaoyou can still fight."
Not long after, the regimental staff officer came over: "Regiment seat, please count all the officers and soldiers in the regiment. We just have 800 people who can swim."
Li Xuanjun looked at Chen Daquan: "Leave seven hundred people under your command. When I blow up the Gaoyou city wall, you charge from the front."
Chen Daquan was immediately in awe, and immediately stood at attention and saluted: "Yes..."
As he spoke, Li Xuanjun turned around and looked at the staff officer beside him: "Military order, inform the division headquarters that our 117th Brigade and 351st Regiment are waiting to launch a tentative attack on Gaoyou. We plan to take 800 soldiers to swim across Gaoyou City. Today we will report the battle plan...
Li Xuanjun, the leader of the regiment, gave a speech on June 22, the first year of Shengwu. "
.
After Yang Lianmaha withdrew from Shaobo Town into Gaoyou City, he was appointed as the City Defense Counselor by Li Yangeng. He learned that Ming troops had appeared in Gaoyou. Yang Lianmaha had been guarding the south gate for the past few days and did not even return to the city's Yamen.
Gaoyou City has become a huge military camp. 130,000 Han military flags are stationed in the city, and its strength cannot be underestimated.
The height of the east city wall of Gaoyou is only 5 meters. This is also the height after reinforcement in the past dynasties. Originally, it was only as high as the square wall because it faces the water. Although there is no land route, many people in the city make a living by fishing in the lake. This is why the east city wall is only 5 meters high. There are also many corner gates and piers on the side.
East Wall Guerrilla Yang Lian Zhen Gong is Yang Lian Maha's clan brother and is responsible for assisting in guarding the East City Wall section. Due to various reasons, Yang Lian Zhen Gong is resting in the tent under the wall at the moment. There is only one commander on the wall.
The weather was bad tonight, there was no moon, and all the puppet soldiers resting against the female wall were taking naps. Not long after, there was a slight sound on the water.
"If there's no moon tonight, will the geese come out to fish?"
"Throw a torch and go down and have a look."
"I don't have time. Master Madman has withdrawn. What's the point of holding on to Gaoyou?"
The person who said this was a veteran of the Liaodong Ming Army: "I still want to save my life and enjoy the benefits of the establishment of the new dynasty, but now I will stay here as a target for the Southern soldiers."
After speaking, he spat out a mouthful of phlegm from the city wall.
By coincidence, the leader of the platoon leader who had just emerged from the water was hit with this old phlegm on his face. He had no clothes on his body and his hair was still dripping. He calmly wiped the phlegm away and then looked up. After glancing at the city wall and noticing that there was no other movement, he took the luggage from the person behind him and slowly walked under the city wall.
If one of them throws a torch under the city wall at this moment, they will see hundreds of naked men quietly approaching the city wall.
Li Xuanjun arrived at the city wall, took the clothes from the adjutant's hand, and began to dress silently.
After someone came over and whispered in Li Xuanjun's ear, "Ready," Li Xuanjun took the flintlock gun from the adjutant and nodded towards the adjutant.
Suddenly there was a sharp whistle, followed by the light of fire as all seven corner doors of the east city wall were blown open by explosives.
At the same time, Chen Daquan, who was three miles away, saw the fire and immediately ordered the 700 officers and soldiers left behind to start attacking Gaoyou on foot.
Li Xuanjun took the lead and rushed into the city with his men before the smoke cleared. Just as he was about to follow the horse road up to the city, he met a puppet soldier who went down to the city in a panic to report a message.
'boom...'
The first shot was fired, and the puppet soldier fell to the ground. Li Xuanjun took out the paper shell bullets from his pocket and began to load them, followed closely by the soldiers.
"Enemy attack..."
"Enemy attack..."
"Enemy attack..."
"Hurry up and strike the gong..."
'Bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...'
'Bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...'
'Bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...'
Random gunfire rang out at the top of the city, accompanied by violent explosions, and countless puppet troops fell from the top of the city.
Li Xuanjun immediately organized two hundred people to take advantage of the chaos to attack the puppet army camp under the city wall. For a time, the entire East City was in chaos.
Yang Lianmaha was currently organizing manpower to deal with the Ming army in front of him, and received news from the soldiers who came to report that the Ming army had entered the east city.
After receiving the news, Yang Lian Maha's whole body felt bad. The Dongcheng guard was his younger brother Yang Lian Zhengong, and he was one of his own. Once something happened to Gaoyou, Li Yangeng, the commander-in-chief, would definitely kill him. Sacrifice flag, thinking of this, Yang Lianmaha went crazy and ordered a thousand reinforcements to the east wall immediately, and then beat the enemy attack drum.
"Raise the gun..."
"put..."
'Bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...'
"Raise the gun..."
"put..."
'Bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...'
"Run quickly, the Ming army is coming..."
"Dongcheng has been lost, Dongcheng has been lost..."
The person yelling had a Liaodong accent. This was a trick that Li Xuanjun deliberately created to disturb their military morale.
This strategy was very effective. The 2,000 people in the Dongcheng Military Camp were instantly defeated after being fired upon by 200 people. Coupled with the shouts of losing military morale and the attack in the middle of the night, the entire Dongcheng Military Camp suddenly collapsed.
Seeing this, Yang Lian Zhengong had no way to hold on, so he could only lead his people to run towards the inner city, and sent people to Yang Lian Mahaha immediately for help.
"Tuanzuo, the enemy has escaped..."
After Li Xuanjun fired the shot, his mind was extremely clear, and he immediately said: "Two hundred people guarded the east city wall. The rest immediately organized and followed me towards the city. Their deployment must be disrupted and they must not be allowed to recover. The enemy The number of soldiers is estimated to be no less than 50,000. If we are surrounded, 800 of us will be like sheep..."
Li Xuanjun's command was very powerful. It was precisely because of his operation that he avoided the fate of being completely annihilated.
Li Yangeng slept relatively hard. It was precisely because he learned about the arrival of the Ming army forward that he chose to sleep more for these two days. There will definitely be many actions that he will need to personally direct in the future.
It wasn't until the enemy's drum beat loudly and the soldiers who came to report the news knocked on his door that he got up from a woman's body and hurriedly started to get dressed.
Li Xuanjun didn't know how lucky he was. On the way, he met a General Manager Qian who was going to the Dutong Yamen to report the news. He shot the General Manager Qian in the thigh with just one shot, causing blood to flow profusely.
"If you want to survive, tell the truth. Let me ask you, who is the Gaoyou guard? Where is he now?"
Mr. Qian was shot in the thigh and his legs were covered in blood. Knowing that he could not escape, he poured beans out of a bamboo tube and shouted: "Don't kill me, don't kill me. I am also a Han, and I was forced to join the Tatars."
"You are still at the level of President Qian, so answer my question first."
"I said, I said, the guard general of Gaoyou is Li Yangeng. He is the eldest son of the consort Li Yongfang. He is now the commander-in-chief of Gaoyou. The city defense counselor is Yang Lianmaha."
Li Xuanjun knew it well, so he asked anxiously: "How many Tatars are there in the city?"
"There are no real Tatars, they are all under the banner of the Han army."
Li Xuanjun glanced at the people next to him, and then sneered: "It turns out they are all puppet soldiers. This is easy to handle. How many of you are there?"
"There are a total of 130,000 defenders in the city, and most of them are concentrated in the south city."
hiss...
Li Xuanjun took a breath. He had previously thought that there would be 50,000 people in the city, and Jiannu had already made up his mind to counterattack, but now there were 130,000 people. His 800 people were like ants.
"Members of the group, nothing can be done, please retreat first..."
the adjutant advised.
Li Xuanjun looked around and saw that this place was in the middle of the city. Due to Gaoyou's special geographical location, there were only soldiers on night watch along the way, and there were no garrison troops. Most of the garrison troops were in Nancheng.
"Tuanzuo, there are many puppet troops chasing behind us."
Li Xuanjun calmed down and asked, "If I ask you again, answer honestly and let you live."
"The young man will definitely not dare to deceive the general."
"Where is Li Yangeng now?"
"Right in front, turning the corner, the original Gaoyou Prefectural Government Office is now the Tongling Mansion."
"Do you know how many soldiers are defending?"
"I don't know about the small one, but the total number must be no less than a hundred."
Li Xuanjun stood up and nodded very humanely: "As a soldier of the Ming Dynasty, you surrendered to the enemy in Liaodong, and you must have done many bad things. Our Ming army is making a comeback, and you and other traitors will be judged by the people. You will die by then. It must be heroic.”
Mr. Qian seemed to understand something. Just when he was about to shout loudly, the adjutant beside Li Xuanjun had already stabbed his bayonet into his heart.
After vomiting blood, Mr. Qian stared at him and died. Li Xuanjun gave him a cold look, and then said: "If you want to win, there is only one option. Raid Li Yangeng's residence. It would be best if you can capture him alive. If you can't capture him alive, his head will also be useful."
After speaking, Li Xuanjun personally led the team, leaving a hundred people behind to rely on the streets and houses around him to block the enemy troops, and then ran quickly towards Li Yangeng's station with the remaining five hundred people.
'Bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...'
'Bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...'
'Bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...'
After a sudden attack, no one was left in front of the gate. Soldiers from each team quickly surrounded the Dutong Mansion in squads. It was very quiet inside. Li Xuanjun pointed at the door: "Grenade..."
Several grenades blasted open the door with white smoke, followed by a volley of musketry.
More than a dozen people were hit in the middle of the door, and they all fell to the ground dead.
Li Xuanjun was shocked. He didn't expect that Li Yangeng had muskets. He shouted: "Don't be afraid, rush in and capture Li Yangeng alive..."
'Bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...'
'Bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...'
'Bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...'
Although they were caught off guard, there didn't seem to be many musketeers in the government office.
