On the afternoon of April 26th.
Hei Chengyin, who was born in the army at a young age and joined the army at the age of seventeen and has been in the army for nine years, spent the happiest one hundred and eighty seconds of his first half of his life on the top of Gaotai City.
During those one hundred and eighty seconds, Hei Chengyin seemed to have no brains. He relied on his armor to rush left and right between the city wall and the horse road, facing the surging Ming army. The siege troops scaled the city wall to gain the upper hand.
Hei Chengyin's brain was no longer under the influence of adrenaline. He could not hear any sounds or see any scenes. Even if there was a row of people standing in front of him, he could only see the person he was staring at and nothing else. have no idea.
Because this is actually the first time he has fought with real swords and guns outside of training since he has been on the job for nine years.
One hundred and eighty seconds after entering the city, no one knew where Hei Chengyin was.
The team of less than six people who first climbed into the city was swallowed up by ten times the Ming army that surged up the horse trail and footpath after only holding on for a moment. However, their behavior was not to risk death or to show off. It was a set of strictly trained tactical moves.
The tactical purpose of climbing the city on top of a ladder is to ensure that there are people on the city wall as soon as the long ladder climbs the city. Instead of using hooks, it ensures that the long ladder will not be knocked over by the defenders' logs and that the soldiers climbing the ladder will not be knocked over. Before Hui's head was exposed, his hands were chopped off by the defenders.
Because the long ladder is not a ladder, there is a car under the ladder, a auxiliary ladder that stretches out, and an iron hook on the top of the auxiliary ladder that catches the crenel, so the ladder is not afraid of being pushed, but it is afraid of kerosene and gold juice.
The simple long ladder itself is a tactical weapon, similar to a surprise soldier other than regular soldiers. The purpose of its existence is to increase the area of the ant when attacking a city. The environment in which it is used is that the troops on the ladder have already boarded the city. After mobilizing the defenders, Set up a ladder in the empty space to climb to the city and open up the situation with more troops.
But now the Suzhou Army lost a lot of siege weapons during the first siege. The tube ladder, cloud ladder, and carriage were all destroyed by kerosene. They could only ensure that a few people followed the long ladder to climb up the city in this way. head to prevent the ladder from being knocked over.
In other words, when Hei Chengyin and other soldiers chose to carry out the order to climb into the city, they had already realized that they were humanoid tactical weapons without tactical weapons, and their job was to exchange blood for time.
Ding Guodong was really cruel. The six people pushed to the city by the ladder were one general and five hundred generals. Because of the Ming army regulations, if the leader died, all the subordinate officers would be beheaded after the war, and they were all linked together.
Hei Chengyin is dead, and these five hundred presidents must be beheaded even if they are still alive. Only in this way can they support each other in life and death in the city.
It's just that when the six men of Hei Chengyin were overwhelmed by the tide of Ming troops, no one on the battlefield wanted to find them, because the time they bought was enough for their subordinates to climb the long ladder to the top of the city.
At the same time that the first team flag was tied up on Gaotai City, the Qianzong meters below the city moved.
He did not launch an attack at the southeast corner where he originally planned to climb the city. Instead, he led soldiers in wet clothes and ran down the city with long ladders, rushing straight to the burning chariot outside the south gate gate tower.
While the city wall defenders' attention was still focused on Ding Guodong's troops ascending the city, Mi Layin had already left 800 people behind the city. He personally led a team of 100 people to rush to the approaching chariot and jumped to the top of the city to form a team.
The darkest thing is that Milayin's soldiers had actually been hiding their unplugged helmets and tassels, waiting to join forces with Ding Guodong to do anything. As a result, Ding Guodong not only refused to do anything, but was even more energetic in attacking the city.
Mi Layin didn't have any psychological burden, so he asked the hundred people who were following him to climb the city to put on their helmets and tassels, and then rushed into the city gate tower.
The city gate tower, which had been hit by more than 200 rounds of seven-pound shells from a thousand-jin cannon, was already riddled with holes. The artillerymen of the Ganzhou Army hiding inside were staring attentively at Ding Guodong's troops ascending the city.
They were just about to think of a way to kill him, when they saw a group of well-equipped friendly troops running over in a hurry.
Just as he was wondering, who would have thought that Mi Layin was the first to draw his sword and chop him down. The soldiers behind him who were originally reluctant to fight against his fellow soldiers had no other choice but to swarm up and kill everyone they saw.
In an instant, the city gate tower was occupied by Mi Laoyin. The suspension bridge outside the south gate of the urn city crashed down. The thousand-jin iron gate of the outer city gate of the urn city was also hoisted. A group of Suzhou soldiers waiting outside the city gate carried it. Long ladders filed in.
Milayin was a soldier from the old Suzhou camp, and was not part of the same system as the guards. He was usually stationed in the military stronghold, and there was no city where he could practice the tactical maneuvers of leading troops to the city. Therefore, he did not take the risk of attacking, but chose to stay in Wengcheng. Set up a ladder.
The eight hundred soldiers who stayed outside the city immediately climbed up the city walls from all sides. Those who could not even catch up with the ladder used their axes to get stuck in the cracks of the bricks, forming a ladder to climb up the city.
They quickly formed two streams of soldiers around the circular Wengcheng. On the one hand, they blocked the Ming troops who found their way to the city on the horse roads on both sides of the city walls. On the other hand, under the leadership of Milayin, they swarmed towards the gate tower on the inside of Wengcheng.
A moment later, the main south gate of Gaotai City also raised the thousand-jin gate, and the city gate opened.
Compared with Ding Guodong, Mila Yin, and Hei Chengyin, the three genuine generals from the Suzhou Battalion and Suzhou Guards, Hu Zhishen, the general of the Suzhou Battalion of the Marshal's Mansion, was not the least bit better.
The city gates were opened by Mila Seal. Hu Zhishen was still watching the battle on the other side of the moat. He even watched Ding Guodong's men opening up the situation at the top of the city. He was still eager to give it a try. He discussed with his staff Dong Ju and Yan Zhi whether to send his men The banner army also sent reinforcements to the city.
Milayin, who occupied the city gate tower, found that the friendly troops outside the city did not respond. He was so anxious that he just wanted to kill people... He could hardly stop the Ming army.
Mi Laoyin dealt a fatal blow to the Ming army in the city gate tower, but in terms of blocking the Ming army from ascending the city, he was indeed a blocker.
A group of soldiers under his command who were wearing helmets and tassels went down the horse path and footpath with their backs on their backs. The other group of soldiers who were not wearing helmets and tassels just used knives to push, shove and chop them all. Wearing armor, as long as the Yanling knife does not stab, even if the knife is cut with a curled blade, it cannot hurt anyone.
The Ming army who came for reinforcements from behind did not pay attention to the situation here. They only thought that they were soldiers who had retreated from the city and were still blocking the road. The people behind could not get up at all, so they could only shoot at each other below the city with the soldiers on the city.
The problem is that the artillery of the Marshal's Army has leveled the battlements on the outside of the city wall, but there are still battlements on the inside... The exchange of fire is not a slight loss.
Fortunately, there was a fire in the city gate tower that the Ming army used to send messages. Milayin had a quick-thinking boss, Mr. Bai, who made a fire and ran to the outer gate tower to release it into the sky.
Hu Zhishen was an afterthought, but this incident had nothing to do with the fire in Milayin. It was entirely because Liu Chengzong, five miles away, sent people to urge Hu Zhishen to advance troops from the suspension bridge.
During Liu Shizi's battles, he had always been unwilling to urge the generals to join the expedition except for the headquarters he personally led. At most, he would send people to the frontline generals to inform the frontline generals about the coordination of various ministries, or to report special information he saw in the Chinese army.
Everyone is in a different position, and the methods adopted by frontline generals are usually the optimal solution to their current situation. Although others see the local part but cannot see the overall situation, he can see the overall situation, but this also determines that he cannot see the local situation. The true situation.
At this moment, Liu Shizi didn't know that the inner city gate had been captured. He stood on the carriage and could only see Mi Layin's soldiers fighting hard near the inner city gate. He also saw that Hu Zhishen's soldiers were still outside the city. Wandering around, he was anxious and sent troops to urge him.
The difference between the equipment of the Marshal's Army Field Camp and that of the Ming Army is obvious at a glance, but the equipment of the Suzhou Battalion itself is the equipment of the Ming Army. The only difference is that the helmet guns of the Suzhou Battalion do not have tassels or flags.
Mila Yinna's fight was really hard. Liu Chengzong felt bitter when he saw it while holding the telescope. He thought that these two hundred regiments with different helmets and guns were really good at meeting each other. Although they each had their own masters, they usually used them. The drills are all the same. The instructors will beat you to death without teaching you the correct way to use a knife, right?
Then why does the Yanling Knife have a tip with a counter-edge? Why does the blade have a curved edge but the ridge of the tip is straight, eh? Isn't that just to make you stab someone in armor with the pointed end?
Liu Shishi thought, I am a fucking weapons master who is proficient in all kinds of weapons, and you are just going to show me this?
He was so angry that he really wanted to rush up and yell at the soldiers on both sides, then grab their ears and scold them: You idiots, you can't kill anyone even if you're tired of chopping and chopping like this!
But it turned out that he was actually the fool. Of course, he was not the only one. Wang Xingshan, the deputy commander on the other side of the city wall who was on crutches and commanding soldiers to support the city, was also a fool.
After all, as the old saying goes, the one who is near the water and the tower is the first to get the moon, and Wang Xingshan is the one who is close. He really asked those Ming Army soldiers who couldn't use the sharpest swords to be removed from the city wall, and he grabbed his ears and scolded them.
The scolding was very enjoyable.
These soldiers don't know how to use the tip of the knife to look impatient. After being scolded, they will immediately use the tip of the knife. After a few eye contact, their faces will change faster than turning the page of a book, and they will use the knife with a puff. Wang Xingshan stabbed the surrounding guards with his spear, and most of Wang Xingshan's defenseless servants fell down immediately. The effect was outstanding.
Not to mention that Wang Xingshan had no time to react to the sudden change. Even Milayin on the city did not expect this scene to happen. The soldiers who lined up to climb the city not far away did not have time to react. These Suzhou soldiers tied up Wang Xingshan.
The soldiers didn't dare to chase after they reacted, so they could only block the inside of the city gate.
Because they not only kidnapped Wang Xingshan, but also hijacked two defense trains placed at the city gate.
Of course, the Ming Dynasty train is not a steam locomotive driven by firepower in later generations. It means a chariot equipped with firearms. The defense train is a tool for defending the city. Its predecessor was a door-stopper car that was more intimidating than practical.
It's just that the advancement of firearms has basically eliminated the weak intimidation force of the gate knife cart.
They snatched the two chariots and filled them with rockets. Under normal circumstances, the rockets were not a big shock. After all, as long as they were far away, they could be blocked with shields and tanks, not to mention they didn't know where the rockets would fly.
But in the city gate hole, the shock of the rocket car is very strong, no less than firing rockets at the siege tower. Who dares to chase it? If you chase it and shoot rockets in the city gate hole, the heavenly soldiers and generals will be turned into hedgehogs. .
As soon as Hu Zhishen entered Wengcheng from outside the city, he saw a group of people running out of the city. They turned around and threw the tied-up Wang Xingshan into the open space of Wengcheng: "General, we have captured an enemy general!"
Hu Zhishen leaned forward on the horse with his riding whip raised, squinting at the cursing prisoner. The next moment, he suddenly dwarfed on the horse, rolled his saddle and fell off the horse: "Hey, Commander Wang!"
Wang Xingshan, who had been fighting the rebellion in Shaanxi, thought hard and didn't recognize who Hu Zhishen was.
This is not his fault. There are more than a dozen guard posts in Gansu, and each guard post has as few as seven or eight hereditary commanders and as many as more than ten. These commanders alone can form a hundred-man team. Wang Xingshan did not follow Su The state guard had dealt with him before, but he only had a vague impression of this person, as if he had seen him somewhere.
"Do you recognize me?"
When Hu Zhishen heard this, he knew that Wang Xingshan didn't recognize him, but it didn't matter. In the past, it was normal for his colleagues to not recognize him. He didn't know Li Hongsi either, but he still wanted to persuade Wang Xingshan to surrender, so he saluted and smiled: "Of course I do. , I am Hu Zhishen, the commander of the Suzhou Guard, and those on the city are the guerrillas Ding Guodong and Qian Zongmi Layin."
This siege made Hu Zhishen realize that the burden on his shoulders was indeed a bit heavy.
When he said this, he meant that there are many soldiers from Gansu in our Marshal's Mansion. Once we stand firm, General Wang will come over and he will immediately become the leader of our group.
But Wang Xingshan didn't think so. Originally, he was so friendly with Hu Zhishen, but he didn't know who he was. Now Hu Zhishen reported himself to the family, and Wang Xingshan rolled his eyes in anger, and cursed: "Shameless person!"
"The people of Gansu can surrender, Yu Ding can surrender, the flag army can surrender, and the border army can surrender. Even if the camp officers surrender, it is understandable that you, the guard officer, cannot surrender!"
"You, the great nobles and nobles of the world, have not experienced war for two generations, but the favor of the imperial court remains the same as before. When war comes, you are unable to quell the rebellion, defeat the thieves, and retreat in defeat. Third, you are unable to serve the country and be loyal. You kowtow to me and are willing to hand over the city. Give in, why do you have the face to talk to me here!"
"Haha, the commander-in-chief still doesn't understand our difficulties."
How could Hu Zhishen be so afraid of being pointed at and scolded by the little master? He laughed stupidly and said to himself that he was just like the Suzhou guards when Liu Chengzong attacked Jiayuguan. The whole of Suzhou was overthrown by the Three Tribulations Society. He had no real teachings. What's the use of a commander?
On the day of the Three Tribulations Association incident, almost all the commanders and thousands of households without actual instructions were killed. He was the only one who was close to Song Xian, and Song Xian just needed such a person, so he saved his life.
Then they are not asked to give up Suzhou City at all. That is because the entire Suzhou City does not want the Ming Dynasty and is moving crazily towards the Marshal's Mansion.
Don't talk about him in this situation. Even if Mr. Guan comes, he won't be able to defend Suzhou alone.
Hu Zhishen also knew that he was a man of few words. It seemed that the idea of persuading Wang Xingshan to surrender was in vain, but it was not important. On the contrary, it only strengthened his idea of going around. Let's not try to persuade him to surrender and capture the commander-in-chief and the deputy commander-in-chief. Great work of the class.
Just take two gold medal thugs and treat them like little trash.
Therefore, after he finished laughing, he simply did not say anything to the talkative Wang Xingshan. He only waved his hand to the sergeant and said, "Commander Wang is right in scolding you for being a villain! I have done something wrong, and I will not serve you if I have no face..." ...You guys, please serve General Wang well, tie him up tightly and send him to see the commander."
Good evening!
