Traveler Major League

Chapter 178
Wang Youyuan stretched out his head from the side of the battlements to look at the situation outside. He leaned against the half-shattered masonry and spat. Lead bullets and iron bullets were flying everywhere. As if he was about to eat people, most of the dozen or so people who came up with him were killed or injured. Fortunately, there were a steady stream of stragglers following behind. The will is very tenacious.

Perhaps not all of them really believed in the program of the People's Association, most of them were a little bit goddamn, and believed that Liu Ze was a god, but at this time, none of them deserted in the Asura field, even if one or two people dared to go up and fight for their lives , Even if he is injured and bleeding, he can grit his teeth and continue to move forward. Facing such a scene that is enough to make most people despair, he can still continue to fight while screaming in fear.

At this time, there was a continuous burst of gunfire and explosions from Guomen. Wang Youyuan knew that it was a firefight between the large troops and the responding officers and soldiers, but he didn't care too much. At this time, his only thought was It is to hold on and wait for backup.

After the lessons learned from the failure of the last attack on Sanyuan County and other places, everyone knows that this time the siege is the best chance. After realizing it, I don't know how many more lives will be spent to capture this place, but it is more likely to lose the opportunity, because Wang Youyuan, as the core commander, knows that the ammunition reserves are running out now.

"It's coming again!" Someone shouted, but before he could say anything more, an iron bullet flew over at a speed visible to the naked eye. People could see it clearly but couldn't hide it. The gun easily penetrated his cotton armor like a bullet, and the impact force brought his body like a rag and blew it into the pile of broken bricks behind him. Wang Youyuan could clearly hear the man's dull bone fracture, Then the smoke and dust covered the place, and the corpse was somewhat incomplete.

On this city gate tower covered in smoke and dust, there was another shout of killing from the aisle of the city wall on both sides. Wang Youyuan wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then shouted: "Dynamite pack!"

There was a loud "boom", and there was a scream and wailing and "bang bang" sound from the aisle on the right, but there was only this explosion, because Wang Youyuan and others also ran out of explosive packs, looking at the empty packages , Wang Youyuan was startled: Do you have to die here today?
Wang Youyuan gritted his teeth and cheered himself up in his heart.

"Fight it!" The remaining soldiers shouted on the city wall, and their words revealed the determination to resist desperately. While shouting, they fired at the officers and soldiers one after another. Officers and soldiers.

In close combat at this time, a rifle loaded with a bayonet after firing bullets is only equivalent to a short spear. Even it is very difficult to deal with sword and shield soldiers, let alone face a large number of soldiers in this narrow place. The officers and soldiers are gone, and there is no place to turn around, and they can only fight with lives for lives.

At this time, Wang Youyuan also opened up the killing ring. He picked up a round shield from the ground, drew out his waist knife, and took advantage of the gap between the officer's spearmen strangling his comrades, bent forward and rushed forward. The ground on the right side withstood the knives, slashes and spears of two officers and soldiers, and rushed to the front. Down, even with this formation, it fell apart.

Wang Youyuan didn't care about other things, and slammed forward again, using his shield to push away the weapons of the opposite officer. Every time he swung his waist knife, there was a scream on the opposite side, and no one could control it for a while. Gradually, he couldn't exert any strength. The edge of the knife on his right hand was full of gaps due to the collision of weapons, making it even more difficult to use. These officers and soldiers were also wearing armor, so they couldn't break the defense at all by cutting directly, so they could only follow the direction of the knife. Cutting the legs and the weak places under the armpits can be effective, which is a test of eyesight and speed.

Feeling the gradually trembling right hand, Wang Youyuan realized that this might be the place where he died. He didn't need to look but listen to know that all the comrades behind him were basically sacrificed. , the experience of beating tartars and burning borders in the frontier army, he is also a desperate Saburo-style figure who has gone through many battles. He never thought that he would die in the hands of the officers and soldiers as a rebel, and he couldn't help cursing in his heart: " That's a goddamn thing."

"Boom", a series of explosions, followed by a series of gunshots, the officers and soldiers standing in front of Wang Youyuan suddenly fell down, not only from the front of the Changle Gate, but also from both sides. Seeing the blockers in front of him begin to retreat, Wang Youyuan felt relieved, his legs softened, and he fell into the corpses of officers and soldiers. When he turned his head, he saw that there were already riflemen climbing the ropes and long ladders to the city. The gate tower is shooting at the surrounding officers and soldiers.

"Boom boom boom", another string of lead bullets and artillery shells hit. The officers and soldiers had just retreated a little, and the artillery and bird guns on both sides of the city wall opened fire again. At this time, dozens of soldiers who had climbed up were beaten up. Unprepared, they all fell into a pool of blood, mixed with smoke and dust, it was hard to see clearly.

But the riflemen behind did not stop, still climbing up one by one, and then were knocked down again. After going back and forth twice, the firing speed of various small cannons such as Dalian Zhu and Shanshan Cannon obviously couldn't keep up with this fast pace. battle.

With a "boom" sound in a hurry, the chamber exploded. Taking advantage of this short opportunity, the riflemen who climbed up again shot at the gun emplacements on both sides. The target, once these people died, the remaining officers and soldiers gathered together could not resist, lost the desire to attack, and fled in all directions shouting: "The thief is powerful." "Break the city! Break the city!" "Hurry up!" run away!"

At this time, the riflemen who attacked were divided into three groups. One group continued to shoot at the officers and soldiers near the gate tower, and the other two groups attacked along the city wall. At this time, Wang Youyuan also stood up and commanded: "use the rope, go down!" One lined up the city gate, this is the Wengcheng, tell the people below not to rush in, but to knock down the front gate before rushing in."

At this time, in this kind of battle for the city wall, the generation gap of weapons is even more obvious. The officers and soldiers who entered the field of rifle shooting were unable to organize a counterattack, and more than half of them were killed by platoon guns. chain reaction.

The riflemen put their guns on the wall stacks and aimed at the officers and soldiers below the city and on both sides. Even the best armor couldn't stop the 11mm lead bullets, and even the shield couldn't stop them. After the main officers and generals were killed by concentrated fire, the officers and soldiers behind the city gate also dispersed in a rush. Those who caused almost no damage were taken down by the riflemen, and a few explosive packets were thrown into the city gate. The officers and soldiers who formed the formation were killed and injured, and after they were easily captured by the soldiers, the entire city of Xi'an could no longer stop the footsteps of the people's army.

The soldiers of the people's army who had been waiting at the gate of the city swarmed in from the urn city, and the remaining officers and soldiers who lost their sense of resistance knelt down and surrendered on both sides of the road.

Liu Ze also arrived at the gate of the city at this time. Behind him was a team that could not be seen at a glance, separated from the left and right, like giants embracing the ancient city of Xi'an, with both hands guided by a small number of cavalry and infantry on mules. The city gate was surrounded, and countless militiamen lined up with various weapons followed closely behind.

Because Cheng Mo, Zhang Pu, Lao Kong and many other people have been to Xi'an, the various troops have already arranged the attack target. At this time, there is no need to worry about Liu Ze personally commanding, and leading the team behind.

Not long after, Wang Zhe came out of the city gate on horseback and said, "Commander, the remaining officers and soldiers inside have been dealt with, and you can go in."

Liu Ze nodded. His guard company had already stepped into the vicinity of the city gate to take defense. In this place of life and death, he has always attached great importance to his own security work. In history, the tragic deaths of Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong directly caused The collapse of their respective forces is a bloody lesson.

Liu Ze wore double armor and was surrounded by guards with guns on the front, back, left, and right. It was the first time he entered this thousand-year-old ancient capital. Walking in this slightly chilly dark city gate, his head suddenly went blank, thinking that if he hadn't Majiazhai was hijacked. It is estimated that he had come to this city of Xi'an long ago to beg for a living. Even at this time, he had already used various small techniques to become a wealthy businessman, or became a dead body on the side of the road, or became a man who wanted to eat meat to feed people.

The continuous sound of footsteps in the city gate was like a drum beating on Liu Ze's mind. The sound of armor rubbing and the sound of weapons colliding should be combined into a drum. The small puddle made a crackling sound when stepped on, and soon the puddle dried up, leaving only a mark to tell the tragedy of that time.

Soon Liu Ze passed through the Wengcheng, passed through the Changle Gate, and entered the real Xi'an City. A glare of the sun shone. At this time, the sun was noon, and the buildings in the city came into view, and they could still be seen in the smoke that had not yet cleared. From the horizontal and vertical streets of Xi'an, an East Street with a width of nearly 30 meters extends straight to the Anding Gate, the west gate of Xi'an in the distance. When Liu Ze climbed to the gate tower on the top of Changle Gate, the whole picture of this magnificent giant city finally appeared .

At this time, there was still fighting on the street, and fierce gunshots came from all directions. Various rifle companies led many militia companies to wash down the main roads like streams. The goals, they lead to the four gates of Xi'an respectively. After occupying the main road and taking down the four gates, the whole of Xi'an will be a turtle in a urn, and it can be manipulated arbitrarily.

Divide Xi'an into four unconnected squares, then divide each square city from each trail, and finally focus on capturing various key locations, such as Xi'an Qianwei, Xi'an Right Guard, Military Weapons Bureau, Governor's Mansion, General's Mansion, and Treasury, etc. land, and finally wipe out the remnants one by one.

This plan is very simple and very effective. From the top of the city gate, you can clearly see the progress of the nearby places. Anyone who dares to take to the streets, regardless of the officials and civilians, will be taken down, and those who dare to hold soldiers will be killed. This strategy makes the people's army flood like water. The rapid advance also made the entire city chaotic.

A large puff of black smoke faintly visible in the distance caused chaos in the place where the people's army had not yet arrived, where Wang Shanbao and others were located.

Boss Dong snatched an iron ruler from nowhere. His thin and short body was very nimble. He dodged the head of the gun in front of Min Zhuang, holding the barrel of the gun with his left hand. The surrounding folks ran away with their heads in their arms. At this time, more than a dozen companions behind him rushed up to pick up the weapons scattered on the ground and continued to charge, and some people behind him set fires everywhere, burning wherever they attacked.

There were screams and wailing everywhere. The former refugees were provoked and rushed into the Changping warehouse like hungry wolves, carrying food and fleeing in all directions. The army could still suppress it originally, but there were various gunshots and explosions, especially when Wang Shanbao and others shouted, "The city is broken, bandits have entered the city!" They all scattered and fled.

After another half an hour of fighting, the other three city gates were all taken down. These long-standing officers and soldiers could not even put up a decent resistance. When they were killed, the guards scattered away, leaving only the open gates. The gate and the officer cavalry in the distance were vigilant and fled first.

Liu Ze was receiving military intelligence reports from various places at the east gate. After the city gates on all sides were easily taken down, the officers and troops reflected in the city started a fierce battle. The city gates attacked on three sides, and a large number of officers and soldiers besieged the most important intersection of main roads through trails.

It is Boss Zhang who is guarding the crossroads. He has been promoted at this time. Although he is only a deputy battalion commander, he leads the core force of the People's Army. In theory, he is already a high-level officer. He is guarding the crossroads. Commander of the Central Route.

Zhang Gouer, the nephew of Boss Zhang, led the soldiers in the company to climb the three tallest wooden buildings at the intersection. There were more than 30 people in each building, forming crossfire with each other. Because of their existence, The officers and soldiers everywhere were killed and wounded as long as they showed their heads, and they still failed to seize this place and assembled into a large group.
There are three companies of riflemen, one artillery platoon and many militiamen concentrated here. Such a narrow street allows the artillery and rifles to exert their power to the maximum. Even in the distance, Liu Ze can see the fierce battle at the intersection In the smoke of gunpowder, the officers and soldiers with many casualties climbed up to the roof and shot at the riflemen, and the riflemen also jumped to the roof and returned the same color.

After fighting for an hour, I randomly ate a piece of bread to fill my stomach, and finally waited for the large-scale influx of follow-up militiamen, and it was their turn to attack.

"Dog, take a platoon and take down the officers and soldiers in that courtyard. There are high-ranking officials there." Boss Zhang pointed to a small building in the distance, which was very conspicuous among a group of private houses. .

"Second platoon, follow me!" Zhang Gou'er shouted to the second platoon as the reserve team, and called two militia companies to cooperate. There was no tactical arrangement, and he rushed straight to the small building in a daze Go, and the officers and soldiers hidden in the civilian house were not afraid at all, holding a long card and a wooden table as a cover, they rushed towards Zhang Gouer and others, and after a burst of guns, they all fell down again. The battle scene appeared many times when it was just guarding.

"Dynamite pack!" Looking at the officers and soldiers who had just hid in the houses on both sides, Zhang Gou'er shouted. He didn't have the time to fight these officers and soldiers at close quarters in the house, because he couldn't take advantage of the rifles like that.

With the booming explosion, the group of officers and soldiers completely lost their ability to resist and retreated towards the small building.

"My lord, let's go, the thieves will attack immediately!" The attendant shouted from the side.

Yang He was standing by the bed on the second floor, watching his own soldiers were killed and wounded, he was deeply saddened, these so-called elites couldn't stop these thieves, even the results of the battle were very few, and the equipment was so sharp, who would be the one? Is it bandits?
He suddenly pulled out the Qinghong sword from his waist, "Donglai, let's go, this great Ming Dynasty is in danger, and it is useless to cultivate age, we can only die to repay Your Majesty's grace!"

The entourage called Donglai by Yang He watched Yang He draw his sword and did not stop him, and when blood spurted from Yang He's neck and his body crashed to the ground, he sighed and said, "My lord, where can I go? "

Speaking of this, the attendant picked up the Qinghong sword and wiped off the blood stained with his sleeve, "It's really a good sword!" Then he also killed himself.

The wooden window moved slightly, and cheers came from outside, the city of Xi'an has been captured!
