Kowloon wins

Chapter 799 Sweeping the Capital ([-])

"General Ma, the firepower of the new army is too strong to charge up. How can this be good?"

"General Ma, this can't work, our troops suffered too many casualties!"

"Yeah, how many lives are not enough for such a rush, why don't you retreat to Dongzhimen first and let them attack!"

……

Facing the flying bullets, the thin shields and armor were not much different from paper. Ma Dapeng's troops rushed fast and retreated even faster. The new army only attacked with two rounds of guns, and Ma Dapeng's troops suffered heavy casualties. He couldn't bear it anymore, leaving behind more than two hundred dead and wounded, and they all retreated in a panic to a distance of more than four hundred steps from the new army's front line, and many officers and soldiers even fled without a trace. , Ma Dapeng and others worked so hard to gather the remnants of the defeated army. A small number of people, yes, there are only a little over three thousand left. The rest either died or fled. Well, once such a situation happened, all the generals under Ma Dapeng would inevitably panic, surrounding Ma Dapeng and shouting nonsense.

"That's enough, shut up the fuck!"

Before the battle, Ma Dapeng had estimated that the firepower of the new army would be ferocious, but he did not expect it to be so fierce. His own troops could not even touch the positions of the new army, and they were already defeated like this. It was extremely bad, and being made such a fuss by the generals would inevitably make him even more annoyed, and when he was annoyed, he roared ferociously, regardless of whether what the generals said was reasonable or not.

"General Ma, don't wait any longer and see if the admiral will send troops. If the admiral doesn't move, we really shouldn't attack again, and we'll just stand still."

Seeing Ma Dapeng walking back and forth in front of the formation like a raging lion, as if he was about to attack fiercely again, a guerrilla general was a little impatient, so he cautiously suggested a word from the side.

"Well... then just wait!"

Ma Dapeng still wanted to attack, but he didn't know what to do in his heart. After all, such a small amount of troops on hand was his last capital. The generals all had expressions of fear on their faces, no matter how unwilling they were, they could only let out a sigh of relief and reluctantly agreed to the suggestion of the guerrilla general.

"My lord, look quickly, the thief is coming from the south!"

Sure enough, Longkodo did not disappoint Ma Dapeng, no, just as Ma Dapeng was preparing for war, there was a sudden burst of running sound from the other side of the South Street, and immediately saw Longkodo leading the army with several horses and spears. Thousands of soldiers rushed along the long street towards the cross street where the new army was located, and at the same time, a guard of the palace who followed Hong Qing shouted.

"Well done, order the Second Battalion to beat me hard! The Third Battalion and Fourth Battalion are on alert to the west and north!"

Hong Qing was originally watching the mobilization of Ma Dapeng's troops on the cross street. Hearing the reminder from the guards around him, he immediately turned his horse's head and saw Long Kedo's troops rushing towards him like a tide. His brows were furrowed. Without him, Longkodo's troops came too fast. Knowing that the new army's firepower is strong, they dared to kill along the long street. There is obviously something wrong here, but suspicion is nothing but suspicion, but Hongqing is not I don't care too much about it. It is very beneficial for the overall situation to be able to hold back the two groups of rebel bandits. As long as Zhang Miao's troops can arrive in time, they can wipe out the two enemies in one fell swoop. Of course, strategically, they can be despised. The enemy, tactically, must pay attention to the opponent, and Hong Qing knows this very well, and the adjustment orders are given very quickly.

"Boys, whoever cuts off Hongqing's dog's head will be rewarded with five thousand silver and be promoted to three ranks. Kill him!"

Long Kedo's eyes were sharp, and he saw Hong Qing riding a horse standing in the middle of the cross street at a glance. Dang even became excited, and while riding the horse forward, he let go of his throat, shouted loudly, and waved his army forward madly. He couldn't stop rushing, and he didn't even need to adjust the formation, so he directly rushed to the formation of the second cavalry battalion of the new army.

"General Ma, listen, there are troops coming from the south, it should be the admiral who sent troops!"

Longkodo has a strong force in his hands. This time he abandoned Chongwenmen and mobilized the whole army to attack. The momentum is very large. Although he has not yet fought with the new army, the footsteps and shouts of the army's charge are already shaking the sky As for the sound, Ma Dapeng's troops, who were licking their wounds on the east side of Changyou Street, could clearly hear it, and a quick-talking general shouted out the facts.

"Okay, it's time for a decisive battle! The whole army obeys the order and attacks, advances but never retreats, kill!"

Ma Dapeng didn't know the deployment of the new army at all, and thought that the formation of the new army was only facing his own side, so he couldn't help but think that Longkodo's attack would definitely steal the back of Hong Qing's troops, Even if he was so excited that he couldn't control himself, he raised the machete in his hand before Longkodo's troops could kill him, and swung his army forward again.

"The first battalion has all of them, raise your guns and prepare for battle!"

"The second battalion listens to the order, raises the gun, and prepares to shoot!"

……

Facing two incoming enemies, He Min, the commander of the first battalion of the new army, and Lu Yousheng, the commander of the second battalion, did not dare to ignore them. They issued general orders almost at the same time. The lance in his hand was aiming at the surging crowd of people like a forest...

"Order the ministries to speed up!"

Two flowers bloomed, one for each branch, not to mention that Hongqing's troops were about to fight the two enemy troops, but after Zhang Miao led his troops into the inner city from Xizhimen, they were already rushing along the main road towards Chongwenmen. However, the troops have been rushing all the way from the Fengtai camp, and their physical strength has been exhausted. The speed of the march cannot be accelerated. When Tashan bombarded Chongwenmen earlier, Zhang Miao's troops had just passed through Xizhimen. , and when Ma Dapeng's troops confronted the cavalry of the new army, Zhang Miao's troops were still four miles away from the battlefield. Tired, the marching speed not only did not increase, but dropped a lot. When this happened, Zhang Miao was really anxious, but there was nothing to do. He could only order the various departments to speed up, but unfortunately the effect was not very good.

"Report, report to General Zhang. An army was found blocking the way two miles ahead. According to the banner, it is the troops of General Cheng Xuanhe. The strength is about [-], and they are all infantry!"

Just when Zhang Miao and his troops were in a hurry, they saw a scouting horse galloping from the south, bringing some not-so-good news.

"Go, call Cheng Guiwu!"

Hearing that there was an army blocking the way ahead, Zhang Miao's face darkened immediately, but instead of ordering the whole army to stop, he waved his hand and yelled at the orderly beside him.

"twitter!"

Hearing Zhang Miao's order, the messenger did not dare to neglect, he hastily responded, rode his horse and rushed to the front army, and after a while, he saw a man in the uniform of a general The burly general galloped on his horse.

"The last general Cheng Guiwu sees General Zhang!"

That general was none other than Cheng Guiwu, the leader of the Vanguard Regiment, but he saw that he rode his horse to a distance of less than five steps away from Zhang Miao. He pulled the horse's rein and forcibly stopped the galloping horse, and then he was very agile. Rolling off the saddle, he gave a standard blow to Zhang Miao and saluted with a loud salute.

"Cheng Guiwu, you have only one stick of incense time to break through the enemy's interception in front of you. If you can't do it, come and see yourself!"

The military situation was urgent, so Zhang Miao didn't have time to exchange pleasantries at all, and even avoided shouting, so she gave the death order straightforwardly with a straight face.

"twitter!"

Hearing Zhang Miao's order, Cheng Guiwu didn't dare to be negligent in the slightest, and respectfully agreed, then straightened his back, jumped up, rushed to the front of the horse with a few strides, turned on the horse's back, and The horse galloped back the way it had come.

"General Cheng, look, the new army is here!"

At the intersection from Chengtian Street to South Street, more than a thousand defenders of Chongwenmen were nervously deploying barricades. Groups of soldiers ignored the protests of the surrounding people and forcibly demolished the gates and courtyard walls of many houses. A few not-too-high walls were built indiscriminately. While he was very busy, the vanguard of the New Army had already rushed out from the other side of the street. Seeing this, a lookout immediately called He yelled loudly.

"The whole army is on alert, ready to meet the enemy!"

Cheng Xuanhe was facing Chengtian Street with his back, nervously commanding his soldiers to set up barricades. Hearing the exclamation of the lookout post, he immediately turned around and saw the soldiers of the new army trotting in formation. In a panic, he roared at the top of his voice. With this order, the Chongwenmen defenders who were busy rushing into the barricades without caring about demolishing houses, with archers among them, shield swords With their hands in front and the spearmen behind them, they put on a posture of guarding against death.

"Stop the whole army!"

Cheng Guiwu didn't launch a quick attack directly, but he waved his hand when he was still 150 steps away from the defender's barricade, thus strangling the soldiers and horses.

"Shh!"

Although the new army came from a long-distance raid, their physical strength was exhausted, but the years of training were not for nothing. No, Cheng Guiwu issued an order, and the 600 members of the vanguard group stopped at the same time as if they were one. , The movements are neat and uniform, which shows the excellent training.

"Ashha!"

Although the time limit given by Zhang Miao was only one stick of incense, Cheng Guiwu obviously didn't care. Using a binoculars, he took a slow look at the defenders' position, and then he raised his hand and let out a yell.

"The end is here!"

Asiha was born in the Thirteenth Lord's residence. He was originally one of the Thirteenth Lord's personal guards. He joined the New Army as early as the Eastern Expedition. He was the commander of the first battalion of the Pioneer Regiment. He was appointed as a guerrilla general. When the orthodox soldiers stood in front of the formation, after hearing Cheng Guiwu's roll call, he dared not neglect to go, and hurriedly made a standard strike, and loudly agreed.

"Bring your people up, half a stick of incense for a limited time, I'll beat those bastards!"

Cheng Guiwu didn't talk nonsense, and gave the order straightforwardly, his words were full of unquestionable determination.
