Originally, he wanted to follow the Cochin Army and enter Hanoi City.This is also the military order he issued in front of battalion commander Kong Quanxin.But when he saw the city gate closing ahead of time from a distance, he felt very impatient. Although he still had a back hand, it would be more troublesome after all.But seeing the sudden change in front of him, he suddenly had an idea, why not use these defeated soldiers to help him attack the city?
The 400 people around him are all treasures, so it is best to sacrifice one less.
Having made up his mind, Tiance moved forward according to the situation and shouted, "Any Cochin soldiers who help the mercenaries to attack the city can be regarded as scapegoats, so don't kill them! Others who want to resist, kill them!" No pardon!"
The [-] soldiers who had been stopped originally still didn't understand what Tiance was up to, but now they all understood after hearing his shout, and they followed Tiance and yelled loudly to resist killing. No pardon, offense is a slogan for scapegoating.
The Cochin soldiers who had nowhere to go, saw that there was an extra chance before death, how could they not seize it with all their strength.Then one by one ran to the trebuchet and began to help counterattack the Hanoi city towers.
These catapults were used to prevent mercenary attacks.The location is very close to the Hanoi City Tower, not even 50 meters away.Now that it is being used as a tool to attack the city gate, one can imagine how threatening it will be.When a random boulder was thrown into the air, it even flew over the city tower and fell into the city of Hanoi. With just this boulder, countless innocent people in the city were about to be harmed.
"Bastard, bastard, shoot me arrows and kill them." Seeing that these defeated soldiers actually helped the mercenaries against him, Prince Li Yuanlong's face was very ugly, and he roared hoarsely.
The prince spoke, even though he knew that the people below were soldiers of his own country, seeing them throw huge boulders into the city one by one, killing and injuring many people, Fan Yuhai, Huang Hua and other generals also gritted their teeth and their voices were ruthless said, "Shoot the arrow!"
After a few breaths, arrows rained down, and for a while there was a lot of fighting outside the city.On the contrary, it made the company commander Tiance and the others who followed behind become less anxious.
"Company commander, do we want to help?" A platoon leader Leng Feng under his command couldn't help asking with a little itchiness when he saw the fighting between the cochin soldiers and their own people was so lively.
"Don't worry, the dog bites the dog's mouth hair, wait until their aura is no longer so strong and then attack." Not only did Tiance speak in a leisurely manner, but he simply sat on the ground, taking advantage of the gap between the battles. have a good rest.
With Company Commander Tiance as the leader, the other 200 mercenaries also sat on the ground, holding guns in their hands, watching the lively scene [-] meters away, pointing from time to time.
When battalion commander Kong Quanxin rushed over with the main force behind him, what he saw was the scene in front of him.
It's just that Kong Quanxin didn't mean to reprimand Tiance, maybe he thought the same way.So while commanding the troops to take advantage of this time to take a good rest, he had Tiance called to him.
"The battle was fought well just now, and we fought with the prestige of our Leng Feng, what are your plans next?" Kong Quanxin asked while pointing to the flat ground around him, indicating that Tiance could sit down.
Kong Quanxin naturally knew what to do.But I still asked it out, but I just had a heart to test the school.As the mercenary army continues to grow, the rank and system of the team are getting higher and higher.It's only a matter of time before someone with military exploits and experience like him gets promoted.But if you can secure a high position, it depends on whether you have someone who can use it.Obviously, at this moment, he was cultivating Tiance as a confidant.
Chapter 5 The Bazooka Reappears
In front of Kong Quanxin, Tiance wasn't so restrained, after all, when he first joined Leng Feng, Kong Quanxin was his squad leader.Waiting for him to be the squad leader, and he is his platoon leader, so along the way, there is a fact that there is a battalion commander and a company commander.
"Battalion Commander, what I mean is to wait for them to run out of energy. When we're tired, we'll open the east city gate and take the opportunity to rush in." Tiance said this loudly. part of the battle plan.At the meeting yesterday, Kong Quanxin said that if possible, he would attack Hanoi City today. If the conditions were not suitable, he would look for a suitable opportunity.
That's what it said, but those who participated in the meeting didn't know that this was the battalion commander's decision to make a great contribution.Unless the conditions are really inappropriate, otherwise, the attack on Hanoi City today will be a certainty.
"Are you a little too anxious?" Hearing Tiance's answer, Kong Quanxin asked with a trace of worry, "It's said in the information that there are 2 Jiaozhi troops in the city, and there are many high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the city. I'm afraid it's them. The total number of servants of these people is more than [-], including the military service members of the government office in the city, that is a [-] army, although the opponent can consume [-] people now, there are still many left."
Less than 3000 people are going to attack the capital of a country, and they have already made certain defensive preparations.It's like a joke to say such a thing.But the same thing happened to mercenaries, and it was completely different.With their excellent military quality, excellent personal physical fitness, and most importantly, their excellent weapons and equipment, it is really normal for them to win more battles with less.
Therefore, Kong Quanxin's worry was not about whether he could capture the city, but whether he could hold his ground after entering the city.It would be really embarrassing if they went in first and were kicked out by others. When the sixth young master rushed over with the main force of the army, wouldn't they be ashamed to meet each other?
Naturally, Tiance also understands this principle, so he nodded his head in agreement at first, but then said: "Battle Commander, wealth and wealth are in danger. This time you finally have the opportunity to lead the team alone. If you don't Wouldn't it be a pity to try to show it. And once they enter the city suddenly, the Cochin soldiers must be unprepared, and the good things will not be transferred too much. It is a large number of spoils. How much credit is that? Presumably six The young master will be very satisfied when he sees it. As for what will happen after we enter the city, the big deal is that we will fight steadily, and if we can't, we will burn down the house and all the dangerous buildings in front of us. Don't let us, it's time for us to call names one by one with muskets."
"Burn houses? Do you want to burn down even private houses?" Hearing this idea, Kong Quanxin felt his eyes light up, but considering what the Sixth Young Master often said, he should have a good relationship with the common people, so he couldn't help hesitating .
Seeing Kong Quanxin's worry, Tiance smiled and said, "Battle Commander, the Sixth Young Master is a great kind person, and it is reasonable for him to advocate unity and friendship with the people. But what we are facing is not the Han people, but the Jiaozhi people. There may be kind people among them, but most of them are still hostile to us. Besides, once the success is eternal, there is no kindness left at this time, otherwise it will harm my brothers."
What Tiance said also makes sense.On the battlefield, only look at victory.
Only by winning can we gain more initiative.Even if you want to benefit the common people, you must first be able to make a decision, otherwise, your own life will be lost, so how can you protect the interests of others?
After these words, Kong Quanxin finally made a decision.He was not an indecisive person in the first place, otherwise he would not have become Leng Feng's battalion commander. "Okay, if that's the case, let's rest for a while and wait until they are almost done fighting. Then we will make a move. By the way, get ready for the guy who broke the city gate, and we'll see how well you guys perform in a while."
Kong Quanxin had an order, so Tiance changed from seat to station, saluted a standard military salute and said, "Please rest assured, the battalion commander, the company will complete the task with protection."
Prince Li Yuanlong didn't know what the mercenaries were going to do next, he had already withdrawn from the East Tower at this moment.After all, the catapult has no eyes, who knows when it will fall on his head, if he is really hit, isn't there no reason for him to die?
Apart from Prince Li Yuanlong, Fan Yuhai, another general surnamed Li, and Li Shaozhong, another general named Li, were withdrawn from the tower.After they followed the prince back to the palace, they discussed what to do next.
"His Royal Highness, don't worry, the fault of today's battle is all on Ruan Gengwang alone. It was he who underestimated the enemy and rushed forward, which led to the defeat. As long as we stick to the city gate, with the superiority in numbers, the mercenaries will definitely not be able to take advantage of it." It's cheap." Li Shaozhong stood up first, not only comforting the prince, but also expressing his views on this battle.
"Not bad, not bad." Several other generals also nodded in agreement, seeming to agree with Li Shaozhong's words.
What is a prince?That is the crown prince of a country.If nothing else, he will be the future king.Then he absolutely can't have any problems. Even if there is a problem, it's because the executors below didn't understand the prince's intentions and didn't do things well.
If you lose a battle, someone will take the blame, and Ruan Gengwang, who has already died in the battle, becomes the one who takes the blame.Although the crown prince Li Yuanlong couldn't bear it, he had to make such a decision for the sake of the overall situation.
"Okay, since everyone agrees with this, then the matter is settled like this. Just to prevent accidents in the future, we need to mobilize troops and horses. General Fan, I will trouble you on this matter." After Li Yuanlong nodded in desperation, he handed over the next battle to the famous general Fan Yuhai.
"The final order will be given." After clasping his fists together, Fan Yuhai agreed, and left the hall first, without further delay. For the sake of Hanoi's safety, there are some things that cannot be delayed and must be done immediately.
After Fan Yuhai left, Li Yuanlong discussed with the generals what to do next, and then waited for the news that the battle at the East City Gate was over.
In front of the east gate, after the prince left, all the battles here were handed over to the general Huang Hua to preside over them.When faced with huge boulders being thrown into the city, General Huang was not in a hurry. He first sent people to evacuate some civilian households near the east gate, and at the same time ordered the archers to shoot down arrows on the tower.
Compared with the bulkiness of catapults, archers are much more flexible.In addition, it was condescending, and it was really overwhelming. In just half an hour, thousands of Jiaozhi rebels were shot and killed.A lot of stones and sleepers were thrown from under the city tower, completely destroying all ten catapults below.
Without the catapult, the attack power of the Cochin Rebels was completely weakened.They, who didn't even have bows and arrows in their hands, became living targets one by one. There was nothing to hide, nothing to hide.
Seeing more and more dead brothers, some Cochin rebels turned their heads and ran towards the mercenaries.At a distance of 300 meters, one by one dropped their weapons and knelt down to surrender.
Everyone has the desire to survive.Seeing that there was no way out, they could only turn around and beg for mercy.Although I was also uneasy, I didn't know how the mercenaries would deal with them, but there was some hope after giving it a try, it was much better than waiting under the city to be a target.
The temporary auxiliary soldiers who went to a battalion confiscated their weapons and tied them up with ropes one by one. Battalion Commander Kong Quanxin waved his big hand, and 400 temporary auxiliary soldiers rushed forward to surround those Cochin rebels who had surrendered and were beaten without the will to fight.
Speaking of which, there are at least 400 Cochin Rebels still alive. 7000 people surrounded more than [-] people, no matter how you look at this ratio, it is not coordinated.But on the battlefield, such things do happen from time to time.
Facing a group of defeated soldiers, especially those who no longer have the will to fight, they can often be detained with only a small price.Just like when the Japanese army invaded China back then, two Japanese soldiers could escort two thousand Chinese people for a distance of more than ten miles or even dozens of miles.
Thinking about it now, it seems unlikely.But it is real.I have to say how sad it is for a nation to lose its will to fight.
After taking care of more than [-] captives, the first company Chang Tiance also started to get busy.First the whole team, and then the ten fighters in a row and a squad were called out individually.
Different from other cold fronts, these ten soldiers went up to the squad leader, deputy squad leader, and down to ordinary soldiers. Each of them carried a huge wooden box on their backs, and they all changed their backs along the way. The speed is not much slower than other comrades in arms.
After being called out of the queue individually, they skillfully opened the wooden box alone, and then the five individual bazookas were assembled and placed in the hands of five people.
After sweeping his eyes over a group of soldiers, Tiance nodded in satisfaction when he saw that they were full of fighting spirit.Pointing to the east gate of Hanoi a few hundred meters away, he said loudly: "Break open that city gate, and then one row and two rows will cover, and the third row and the auxiliary barracks will rush in when the gate is wide open. Anyone who resists Those who are killed without mercy!"
The order to siege the city was finally issued from Tiance's mouth.A total of five hundred mercenary soldiers raised their chests one by one, and after shouting yes in unison, they turned around and began to approach the east gate of Hanoi City in platoons.
On the east gate, General Huang Hua was directing the soldiers to clean up the battlefield.
Chapter 5 and Nine Capture the City Gate
In the battle just now, a few boulders still fell on the city tower, injuring some soldiers and smashing some city walls. If it is not repaired properly, it will become more or less troublesome when facing an attack.
While arranging to clean the city tower, Huang Hua ordered people to fetch a large number of bows and arrows.The previous bow shooting was a lot of waste, and now is the time to replenish it.
"General, look, they are moving. It looks like they are coming towards us." A soldier in charge of observing the mercenary shouted loudly, attracting the attention of everyone including Huang Hua.
"They're really coming!" Then a Cochin soldier shouted loudly.It can be heard that there is some fear in this shout.
Huang Hua was also awakened by the shout, and when he saw that the mercenaries really started to move towards the east gate, his expression changed drastically.
