Although there were a lot of equipment on the walls of Zhaoqing City to defend the city, the Qing troops at the top of the city were overwhelmed by the musketeers of the bandit suppressing army, so no matter how many equipment they had, they were useless.
The bandit-suppressing army attacked the city just as Zhong Shengjia expected, but the gunshots outside still did not stop.
"What's going on? Aren't the rebels attacking the city? Why are the gunfire still there? Aren't they afraid of killing their own people?" Zhong Shengjia listened to the "annoying" volley of gunshots directed at the people around him asked loudly.
Then, no one could answer Zhong Shengjia's question. The only answer was the still ringing bursts of gunshots.
"General, the rebels are coming. What should we do?" the sentry observing from outside ran in and asked.
"Who are you? Walked in?" Zhong Shengjia did not answer the sentry's question. Instead, he was surprised that he came in like this.
"Yes, General." The sentry felt strange about Zhong Shengjia's question.
"There are no bullets coming from outside?" Zhong Shengjia asked in surprise as he looked at the completely injured sentry.
"Since the rebels got close to the city wall, I haven't felt any bullets flying over here." The sentry thought about it and said.
When Zhong Shengjia heard what the sentry said, he suddenly shouted: "I understand. Immediately ask the soldiers on the wall to stand up and fight. The enemy is firing blank guns."
"Yes, General."
The generals around Zhong Shengjia responded one after another, and then opened the door of the house in the tower, quickly walked out of the house and organized people outside.
At this moment, the first wave of captured soldiers attacking the city had climbed to the top of the wall.
Before the defenders, who had just been given the order by the Qing army general, could react, the green battalion soldiers captured by the bandit-suppressing army had already fallen into the city road.
As the first green camp soldier jumped in, other captured green camp soldiers also climbed over the female wall on the city wall and jumped into the city road.
Originally, these defenders had less training and had not seen many battlefields. In particular, these defenders are now suppressed by the musketeers of the bandit suppressing army and have no ability to fight back. There are few defenders on the city road, so when the captured Green Camp soldiers jump into the city road, those who resist can't help but many.
The few defenders who resisted were chopped down to the ground one by one by the captured Green Camp soldiers.
"Brother...how could it be you? How did you become a rebel?" A defender at the top of the city couldn't help but asked loudly when he saw that the person who had just climbed over the female wall was actually the eldest brother he knew.
"Xiao Liu, don't ask anything. Kneel on the ground and surrender quickly, or I won't be able to protect you for a while." The man who heard the voice immediately shouted to Xiao Liu who asked him.
Although Xiao Liu didn't know what was going on, he was used to hearing the words of his sworn brother, and now he did as he said.
"Those who surrender will not be killed..."
As more and more captured siege soldiers climbed over the female wall, and fewer and fewer defenders resisted on the city road, there were calls for surrender on the city wall.
Although there were not many battles on the city road, blood was still flowing everywhere on the city road, and the smell of blood was strong.
It was those defenders who resisted in the city road, so during the initial capture, the green battalion soldiers who attacked the city had a good fight with them.
Lying in the city road, there were many people from the green camp attacking the city, but more of them were defenders defending the city. They either had their hands and feet chopped off and could no longer fight, or their hands and feet were cut off, or even their stomachs were broken. Open, in those bleeding.
"What's going on with you? Why are you helping the rebels to attack the city?" Zhong Shengjia looked at a captured siege soldier he knew and asked loudly
"General, it's hard to say anything. Hurry and tell the brothers who are guarding the city to surrender! If this continues, they will all die." Jiang Moke, who was recognized by Zhong Shengjia, persuaded.
"Bah...How can I, a warrior of the Qing Dynasty, surrender just to survive? You want me to surrender? In the next life!" Zhong Shengjia said unceremoniously to General Mo Ke
Regarding Zhong Shengjia's answer, Jiang Mo said no more, but held the steel knife in his hand more tightly.
"Bang bang bang bang..."
The steel knives of both sides were constantly fighting.
At this time, more and more prisoners of the green camp climbed over the female wall. Almost all of them surrendered, except for Zhong Wuliang's men who did not surrender.
After these captured green battalion soldiers occupied the city head, they immediately opened the city gate and allowed the bandit suppression troops to enter Zhaoqing City.
Seeing the open city gate, the cavalry of the bandit suppression army rushed to seize the city gate. As long as the city gate is seized, this war will be a victory for the bandit suppressing army. "
As the bandit suppression troops continued to enter Zhaoqing City, no one on the city walls was willing to resist and die. At this time, Zhong Shengjia was also slashed several times, and was captured by the green battalion soldiers who were attacking the city.
The anti-bandit troops who entered Zhaoqing City did not encounter any resistance along the way. It was also true that this battle made the anti-bandit troops feel Zhang Rui's greatness.
The victory of several consecutive games was not only an easy victory, but more importantly, there was no danger at all, and the victory was so unexpected.
Zhaoqing City was captured by Zhang Rui's bandit-suppressing army with such a joke-like battle.
Things in the world are such a joke sometimes.
The prefect of Zhaoqing City was also arrested under a sweeping search by the anti-bandit army. At this point, Zhaoqing City was truly defeated by Zhang Rui.
One day after taking Zhaoqing City, Zhang Rui sent out the bandit suppression army and the newly surrendered Green Camp soldiers to sweep the counties around Zhaoqing City and take over the entire territory of Zhaoqing.
Under the influence of the combat effectiveness of the bandit-suppressing army, the green camp soldiers who surrendered also showed their abilities.
At this time, Zhang Rui did not attack the county town with the bandit suppressing army. Because he found that he had too many things to be busy with, he realized at this time that it would not work to continue to develop the military.
Fortunately, as a big city, Zhaoqing has a county school and a lot of scholars.
In order for these studies to help him, Zhang Rui had to show off his eloquence and give a speech in the county school.
After Zhang Rui's passionate speech and various accusations against the Manchus, many passionate people expressed their willingness to work with Zhang Rui for the future of the nation.
Therefore, Zhang Rui recruited many people to help him manage government affairs. After all, talents are rare these days. If you have one, you must not miss it.
After only two days of rest in Zhaoqing City, Zhang Rui ordered the recruitment of sergeants. It is true to say that Guangdong has always been a place to resist the Qing Dynasty. Thanks to the propaganda of the anti-bandit army propaganda team, nearly 20,000 people were recruited in three days.
Most of them came here with enthusiasm, many were attracted by Zhang Rui's policies, and even more were dissatisfied with the various unfairness of the Manchus.
At this time, no one did not hope that Zhang Rui could continue to be strong, because Zhang Rui gave them another hope!
