【1043 Chinese Army Siege】
When Chu Jun wanted to escape, where could he escape?
Because Zuo Zongtang was reluctant to throw away the infantry, if he just led the cavalry to escape, he would really become a horse bandit in the future.
"Retreat." Zuo Zongtang looked at Hua Jun who was wearing torches from all directions and sighed.
Liu Jintang sighed and said, "Master General, you can't delay it. Infantry brothers, let them find a way for themselves. Let's lead the cavalry out of the siege first!"
"How can they find a way?" Zuo Zongtang said angrily. "You think of a way to show me."
Liu Jintang sighed and had to order the left and right deputy generals, "The commander has an order, and they will all withdraw."
In this way, Zuo Zongtang's plan to run overnight died in less than an hour.
"Push the artillery and the artillery fire covers all the city walls of Xi'an. Don't hit the enemy in a single section, and make the momentum bigger. However, you must agree with the artillery battalion that you are not allowed to hit the shells into the city. If you would rather land outside the city, it would be better than hitting the houses of ordinary people!" Xuan Jianzhang held up a telescope and observed the movements of the Chu army, while saying to the Chief of Staff beside him.
"Yes, the division seat." The Chief of Staff hurriedly stood at attention and went to convey the order.
The artillery battalion of the First Field Division of the Chinese Army immediately followed Xuan Jianzhang's instructions and aimed the target of the artillery at the entire Xi'an city defense, without hitting a single position.
After a night of trouble, the people of Xi'an knew that Chu Jun wanted to escape, but they didn't expect that they were forced back by the Chinese army?
Originally, the common people had already turned around, thinking that the Chu army would leave. Shaanxi would sooner or later belong to China. It would be good if it could not fight in war. Who knew that the Chu army had run back again?
This time, the people became even more disgusted with the Chu army. If they could not defeat them, they would surrender. What should they do if they dragged the people of the whole city?
The artillery of the First Field Division of the Chinese Army waited until noon this time to clearly survey the distance, mainly because Xuan Jianzhang ordered that the people's houses could not be hit, and only bombarded the city walls were allowed. Therefore, the distance must be carefully surveyed and a clearer city defense map was drawn.
"One hundred and fifty cannons, each cannon, one cannon shell is set every ten minutes, one hour is 9oo cannon shells, two hours." Xuan Jianzhang said to the artillery battalion commander, "From this standard in the future, as long as Zuo Zongtang does not surrender, he will fire a routine fire for two hours."
The battalion commander of the artillery battalion nodded and said with a smile: "Secretary, this has become a firecracker, but this firecracker is too expensive."
Zuo Zongtang was taking a nap, but he couldn't sleep no matter how he was. He should have been on the way to Gansu. He went through Gansu, went to Qinghai, circled with the Chinese army on the wasteland, and moved around Qinghai, Xinjiang, and even to the periphery of Mongolia and Central Asia. He didn't believe what the Chinese army could do to him.
Zuo Zongtang was thinking about his thoughts.
Boom boom boom boom!
The Chinese army's shelling began.
In the sky outside the window, there was a sound of sharp shells cutting through the air, accompanied by long arcs.
Daytime shelling?
The Chinese army used to attack at night, mainly to cover the attacking troops and reduce casualties. This was the first time that they chose to attack at noon.
The people in the entire Xi'an city were frightened and thought that the Chinese army was going to attack the city in large numbers!
Zuo Zongtang sat up suddenly and ran to the door barefoot and shouted: "Send the order quickly, hold on, hold on!"
"Yes, the Grand Marshal." The personal guard hurried down to pass the order.
"Damn the Chinese army, will it still make people survive?" Zuo Zongtang said angrily.
At present, it seems that Zuo Zongtang either chose to flee with a small group of cavalry, or there was only one way to surrender.
As the Chinese army's artillery coverage increased, explosions were heard around Xi'an City.
Everyone in the military and civilians in Xi'an City was worried that the shells were not a joke. The Chinese army's artillery fire could accurately cover all the city defenses. If they really fired in the city, the city would have long become a sea of fire.
The people also have a scale in their hearts, and many people are talking about it, thinking that the Chinese army is benevolent and righteous. If Zuo Zongtang insists so persistently, he just doesn't know how to be at least, and does not take the lives of the people to heart, and forces the people to follow him to die.
There are still a small number of scholars who believe that Zuo Zongtang’s failure to surrender to China is a manifestation of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism. However, there are too few scholars after all, less than one percent. Moreover, among scholars, only a small number of scholars hold this idea. Now most scholars, as the culture of China continues to spread, new culture and new ideas.
Make it easier for advanced young people among scholars to accept new culture and oppose old ideas.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The shells fell from the sky and kept hitting Xi'an city defense accurately.
Although the two-hour bombardment did not cause much damage, the violent explosion caused, the earth was shaken, like an earthquake.
This is a visual and visual destruction. No one knows when the Chinese army will shell the whole city or even attack in full swing.
At night, when Zuo Zongtang was inspecting the city defense personally, he saw the Chu army with broken hands and feet everywhere, and couldn't help but burst into tears. He really wanted to fight with the Chinese army once! But he didn't have the courage and did not meet this condition. Zuo Zongtang naturally knew that the people were already disgusted with him. If he took people outside the city to take the initiative to fight with the Chinese army, it would probably be that the people in the city would mutiny, and even his army might mutiny. Most of them opposed the murder of Chinese comrades.
Wherever you go, there will be a tragic phenomenon, and Zuo Zongtang's heart is bleeding!
Next, for four or five days, the Chinese army seemed to have set an alarm clock. It was two hours at noon, which was the season of spring and summer. Everyone was sleepy at noon, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Xi'an could do nothing. If this continues, even if the Chinese army does not attack, the food in the city will not be enough.
There began to be rumors among the people that the Chu army planned to capture the people and cut off their flesh and eat them!
Of course, most of these rumors are spread by the Bureau of Statistics. What do the people say the most? It is this kind of words, and there are rumors everywhere. In the end, even the Chu army was in danger. If they were worried that there was really not enough food, they might start eating their own people. Everyone looked like enemies, fearing that someone would not pay attention to it and eat meat.
At this time, the First Field Division of the Chinese Army suddenly launched an attack, and the soldiers of the First Field Division of the Chinese Army, who received full support from the artillery, attacked the entire line, and the offensive was very fierce.
Xuan Jianzhang did not make this decision temporarily. Yesterday, President Meng spoke with Xuan Jianzhang on the phone. He suddenly issued an order when the shelling was halfway through noon today!
"President, take a nap? Don't wait, you will definitely win." Jie Ge held the cute president's forearm.
The cute president smiled and said, "Okay, take a nap, I hope there will be good news after waking up."
The cute president sometimes feels that his life is quite boring. He used to yearn for the life of the upper class, but now he is the most peak in the country. He suddenly becomes like a pig. He ate and slept and ate every day. Most of the work is done by the president's secretariat, and he really becomes a symbolic emperor.
The cute president suddenly felt that the foolish monarchs in the past were all brain-related. As long as the power was firmly grasped, it was really easy. Why should I indulge in having fun and do nothing?
He also immediately understood that there was no such stupid emperor, and the foolish monarch who was indulging in fun, usually his power was taken away and his government was controlled. The emperor who had no choice but to collapse, or the world was in trouble, and there was no time to do so.
The cute CEO lay flat, Princess Jie was wearing a thin bellyband, and her white jade arms were placed on the cute CEO's round belly. The picture was not very harmonious, but the relationship between the two was very harmonious, and she was already living like a couple with a strong relationship.
Sometimes, when Gege wakes up, she finds herself sleeping next to the cute president, she will laugh secretly.
When the cute president was sleeping, the first field division of the Chinese army was attacking the Chu army on the whole line, relaxing his vigilance, thinking that the Chinese army was just scary every day, and the defense line of the Chu army collapsed completely.
The nine regiments attacked from all directions broke into the defense line of Xi'an City almost at the same time.
The army ran back and forth, with the sound of charges everywhere.
