Chapter 103 Street Fighting
Wu Sangui tried to use small troops and attack Santiancheng in a formation. Gaojiling defended very tightly and did not even use grenades or mines. The Qing soldiers did not take advantage of them.
Gaojiling was very excited and said to his left and right: "Everyone said that the Guanning Army is so powerful, I think it's just like that. Just use it. Just use it. You Wu Sangui's, who are just a problem of food and grass, can't waste it with me."
In fact, he didn't know that Wu Sangui didn't act seriously at all and was playing with him for a while.
On the night of August 15th, a full moon hangs coldly in the sky.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is a major festival for the Chinese. Every day it is a day for family reunion. Wanderers far away in foreign lands will miss their relatives more on this day.
Although war is ruthless, it cannot curb homesickness.
Gaojiling is not an inhumane person. He specially ordered the Huotou Army to add a meat dish when cooking rice, but ordered that alcohol be not allowed.
He gathered the main generals to the garrison mansion, and everyone used water as wine together, and talked dirty jokes together, and had fun.
His purpose is also very simple, just to use this method to dilute everyone's homesickness.
What satisfied him the most was that Yang Xiren was very tactful and very sensible.
Yang Xiren said to the generals in the room: "Dear generals, the ancient poem says: 'I am alone in a foreign land for a stranger. I miss my family more during the holidays.' You are all alone outside, and it is inevitable that you miss your hometown and relatives. Don't worry about yourselves with General Gao for a while. Finally, I will go patrol the city. After all, my family is in the city."
"Xi Ren is sensible. Well, Xi Ren, I owe you this love. When this war is over, I will definitely prepare some delicious food and drink with you." Gao Jiling said happily.
"Yes, yes, General Yang Gao Yi, we will all give you a good greeting after the war is over!"
"General Yang, then thank you for your hard work tonight!"
The generals said one after another.
"All of them are their own brothers, why are you polite?" Yang Xiren bowed and turned around and left.
"Okay, you drink and play, let all of you go to the underworld in a while! A group of pigs!" Yang Xiren thought viciously as he walked towards the west city.
He didn't know that the gang of generals he regarded as pigs were not all pigs.
Wang Shizhong never gave up his suspicion of him. Seeing Yang Xiren so attentive today, he felt a little abnormal. As soon as Yang Xiren went out, he followed him out and found his own soldiers and asked them to follow him quietly.
After Yang Xiren left, the generals no longer had to worry about the city defense issues, and they felt that it was boring to eat tea and drink water. A few gambling people quietly went aside and gambled the dice.
Gaojiling was blown away with several generals, punching the tiger in the South Mountain and the Canglong in the North Sea, which was similar to the Invincible King Kong; he also arranged troops and made great achievements. What about the Tartars and Guanning Army were defeated, as if Sun Wu was reborn and Zhuge was reborn.
In fact, everyone understands, what's the point of bragging? If it weren't for surrendering to the emperor, it would be unknown whether the Western Army existed or not at this time.
Sun Wu? Sun son.
At this moment, I heard people shouting in the distance, and then I saw the flames of the West City soaring into the sky, mixed with a few explosions.
"What's going on? Is someone setting off fireworks?" Gaojiling was blowing and the stars were flying around, and he was excited. He heard the movement and asked quickly.
"I'll go and have a look." Wang Shizhong was shocked and ran out of the government office.
"General, it's not good. Yang Xiren has turned against him. The west city is open and the Tatars are rushing into the city!"
As soon as he rushed out of the government office, he saw his own soldiers running from a distance and reporting panting.
"General Gao, something is not good. Yang Xiren set fire as a call, opened the Xicheng Gate, and led the Tartars into the city!" Wang Shizhong turned around, rushed into the house, and said loudly.
"ah?!"
Gao Jiling was shocked when he heard this, his face looked as ugly as earth. He threw the teacup in his hand to the ground with a bang: "Fake surrender! He is a fraud! Damn, he has been fooled by Yang Xiren."
"General Gao, please calm down and find a way to deal with it quickly." Wang Shizhong reminded.
“Yes, yes.”
Gaojiling pondered for a moment and ordered: "God generals should go back to the position quickly. The east, south and north gates cannot be lost. This general personally leads people to block the attack!"
"Yeah!"
The military situation was like fire, and the generals shouted and left quickly.
"General, go up the roof, use grenades, and lay mines along the street." Wang Shizhong suggested.
Gaojiling was filled with regret at this time, and the anger in his heart surged, and he felt even more sorry for Wang Shizhong: "Shizhong, I regret not listening to your words."
"General, when is it time for you to say this?" Wang Shizhong said anxiously.
"Scholars, I personally lead the team to block the attack. If you go to the baggage camp, the Tartars will definitely go to snatch grenades and mines first. If you really can't defend it, you will explode. You must not let a grenade and mine fall into the hands of the Tartars!"
"Yeah!"
Wang Shizhong also knew that the baggage camp was the most critical, so he agreed to turn around and leave quickly.
Gaojiling was not as good as the helmet and armor, and rushed to the west to lead the 2,000 troops from the headquarters.
The one connecting with Ximen was an east-west street. Gaojiling saw the Qing soldiers holding torches from afar and rushed over with a loud shout.
“Go to the room!”
Gaojiling ordered Qianhu Luchang. Luchang responded to the order. His soldiers climbed up to the roofs on both sides, laid bows and arrows, and unscrewed the back cover of the grenade, waiting for the battle.
"Go, and then all landmines are buried eastward." Gaojiling ordered another thousand-household Chen Yang.
"Yeah!"
"All personal soldiers are on the horse and prepare to charge!" Gaojiling ordered the personal soldiers to captain again.
"Yeah!"
The captain of the personal soldiers agreed and waved his hand. All three hundred personal soldiers boarded their horses and retreated to a distance to wait for their orders.
Gaojiling and Lu Chang boarded a roof together, conquered themselves to command the battle.
?...
After Zhang Guozhu entered the city, he met with Yang Xiren.
"General Yang, the prince has an order to lead your troops to seize the Ming army's baggage!" Zhang Guozhu did not say much nonsense, but directly conveyed Wu Sangui's order.
"Zhe!" Yang Xiren beat a thousand and stood up and said, "General Zhang, the baggage camp is south of the Cross Street, and the Ming army will be blocked from the East and West Streets. Finally, they will go through the alley and detour south."
"Okay, that's it. You don't have to worry about Mingjun on the East and West Streets, just leave it to me."
"twitter!"
Yang Xiren agreed and led his men through the alley to the south.
"charge!"
Zhang Guozhu raised his sword in his hand, and the Qing soldiers rushed east with shouts.
Since the Battle of Zhangzhou, the Qing soldiers have gained experience. When they fought, they no longer rode horses or charged in intensive charges. Instead, they dismounted and fought in scattered formations and attacked in scattered formations.
Gaojiling recalled the past after entering Xiangyang at this time, hating Yang Xiren for being cunning and incompetent.
His heart was filled with grief and anger, and his teeth were creaking, wishing he could capture Yang Xiren and tear him up with his hands.
