Blood from Daming

Chapter 698
Gao Guiying made full preparations for the attack of the officers and soldiers on the second day, but the early and fierce attack of the officers and soldiers of Yansui Town, and the large number of officers and soldiers involved were beyond the surprise of Gao Guiying and the soldiers in the village. The earthen cannon was abandoned due to the explosion of the barrel or the rupture of the barrel. Only five of the nine small Frang machines were still usable. In addition, the three trenches in front of the village were destroyed. A life-and-death struggle unfolded on and off the wall,

The wall of the Gaojiajun village is only two feet high, and some places are a few feet higher depending on the terrain. Therefore, the wall in the low-lying area becomes a gap for the ants of the Yansui Town official army. More than 100 ladders were erected on the wall, and in less than a quarter of an hour, the officers and soldiers of Yansui Town climbed up the wall of the Gaojiajun village from more than a dozen ladders.

A tragic offensive and defensive battle was launched on the wall. Gao Yigong's cavalry joined the defense of the wall yesterday, and most of Ma Ming's Xue family army also joined the defense. Of the mobile troops in the stockade, only Ma Ming's 300 reserves and Gao Guiying's female soldiers, and then Tessna's [-] troops.

Gao Guiying was about to take his [-] female soldiers to the wall of the village. Ma Ming stopped Gao Guiying's move, and took [-] soldiers of the Xue family army to the wall to make amends. Before leaving, Ma Ming told Gao Guiying and Tesna that the officers and soldiers might still be there There is a big breakthrough, and I hope that the Xue family army under Tesna can block it in time.

Sure enough, after Ma Ming led the Xue family army to the wall, the situation on the wall stabilized. Ma Ming commanded Xue's army to throw a large number of grenades and explosives outside the wall, killing and wounding the officers and soldiers under the wall. With regard to the support of the officers and soldiers on the wall, without follow-up support, most of the Ming army died on the wall, and only a few escaped by jumping over the wall.

At this moment, Chen Hongfan, who was ambushing in the southeast corner, led a thousand officers who had been ambushing for a long time, suddenly jumped up, set up more than 50 ladders in the shortest time, and swarmed up to break through the southeast wall of the Gaojiajun village. When there was time for support, [-] officers and soldiers from Chen Hongfan's department climbed up the city wall. Wang Wei, the commander in chief standing near Erdao Shengou, heaved a long sigh of relief. The heavy casualties finally paid off. The food, property, military supplies and livestock in Gao's army village are a huge number.

However, Wang Wei guessed at the beginning but not the end. General Chen Hongfan broke into Gao's army stronghold, but was intercepted by Gao Guiying and Tessna's troops who were already prepared. Seeing that half of the enemy troops were women, Chen Hongfan's courage suddenly surged. They rushed forward screaming, shouting to catch these mothers-in-law and have fun.

The Xue Family Army and the Datong Guard Army under Tesna acted as the main force. Their fighting power made Chen Hongfan feel terrified. These more than 200 people led the female soldiers and the villagers who came to support them. The one-to-one exchange is completely a life-and-death tactic. Almost every soldier who falls is buried with three or four officers and soldiers, and these soldiers will pull the grenades on their bodies when they are wounded or dying, and rush into the officers and soldiers. The army's crowd died together.

These are soldiers from the Xue Family Army Special Economic Zone. They have all accepted the political brainwashing of the Xue Family Army who sacrificed their lives for righteousness. You can let your parents, brothers and sisters live a prosperous life.

Gao Guiying was shocked when she saw the bravery of the soldiers of the Xue family army. How did the soldiers of her sweetheart train them, and this was just an ordinary team of the Xue family army. Finally came back.

Because Chen Hongfan rushed to the Gao family's army village, as long as he chopped melons and vegetables, the soldiers and villagers in the village would collapse. He didn't expect to meet a group of soldiers who were not afraid of death, and they would die with his men at every turn. The morale of Chen Hongfan's soldiers As soon as he vented, he started to retreat.

Chen Hongfan swung his sword to cut down two rout soldiers, and commanded his subordinates to continue to fight back. Chen Hongfan believed that withstanding the vigor of the dead soldiers in the cottage, he would have succeeded in capturing the Gao family army stronghold. The fighting spirit of the subordinate officers and soldiers is collapsing.

In fact, what Chen Hongfan didn't know was that the explosives and grenades of Xue's army in Gao's army village had been exhausted, otherwise Chen Hongfan and the others would be blown up by throwing explosives and grenades. With this gap in the wall, the entire southeast wall was in chaos.

On the wall of the village, Ma Ming watched the support from other officers and troops coming over. He gritted his teeth and gave the order to die, so he threw all the explosives and grenades at the officers and soldiers inside and outside the wall of the village. The officers and soldiers outside the wall were bombed and rolled down the mountain one after another, and the backs of the officers and soldiers inside the wall were bombed, killing and injuring nearly a hundred people immediately. This became the last straw that broke the camel's back

The rest of the officers and soldiers in the wall of the village fled back one after another, and were about to raise their swords to kill the defeated soldiers, but they were held tightly by the soldiers, and told Chen Hongfan that the officers and soldiers had already lost their power, and they would not be able to leave if they did not leave. Chen Hongfan yelled at the soldiers, He asked the soldiers to let go of himself, but he fell unconscious after being hit by the soldiers.

The breakthrough in Yansui Town ended in failure. Of the 500 officers and soldiers of Chen Hongfan's department, 200 died inside and outside the Zhai Wall. Among them, [-] officers and soldiers died in the Gaojiajun Zhai, and the second most dead was the Zhai Wall. On the morning, Chen Hongfan was carried down the mountain by more than [-] defeated soldiers who escaped from Gaojiajunzhai.

Seeing that Chen Hongfan was unconscious, Wang Wei, the commander-in-chief, asked about the battle situation in Gaojiajunzhai. Yu Li was attacking Gao's army village, Wang Wei couldn't help thinking that his Yansui Township's army was already a powerful army of Ming Dynasty, but there are still soldiers in this world who don't want to die. Xue's army must be Xue's army. The Xue family army, alas, it is easy to shake the mountain, but it is difficult for the Xue family army.

The loss of the Gaojiajunzhai was also very large. In addition to the casualties of hundreds of soldiers on the entire east wall, Chen Hongfan's troops who broke into the Gaojiajunzhai caused heavy casualties to the soldiers and villagers in the village. Among them, Tesna's troops There were more than 100 casualties, of which about 61 were killed in battle. Such a proportion of battle damage is very abnormal, because [-] people became "martyrs" who blew themselves up.More than a hundred of Gao Guiying's female soldiers died in battle, and there were also three or four hundred casualties among the villagers and supporting soldiers.

In addition to the bravery of the "martyrs" of the Xue family army, Gao Guiying's female soldiers are also very brave. They are all Gao Guiying's cronies and lonely women. Retired, paid more than 100 casualties, and still saved the lives of thirty or forty officers and soldiers of Yansui Town.

Gaojiajunzhai only fought with the army for two days, and more than 1000 people were killed in battle, and more than 2000 people were injured. Now every family in the cottage is wearing hemp and filial piety. It has completely become a miserable world, and the most serious What's more, the explosive kits and grenades of the officers and soldiers of the Xue family have almost been exhausted.

Next, the defensive weapons of the cottage mainly relied on bows and arrows and rolling wood and rocks, but the Yansui Town government army did not launch any more attacks in the next few days. Looking at the wall of the village, the officers and soldiers are setting up two large camps at the foot of the mountain. It is estimated that at least four to five thousand officers and soldiers have arrived.

Gao Guiying couldn't help holding on to Tesna, she knew that the final decisive battle in Gao's army village was coming, Tesna also encouraged Gao Guiying, and accompanied Gao Yigong who was watching the battle.Ma Ming also secretly clicked his tongue, but seeing the commotion of the soldiers on the wall, Ma Ming said lightly: "The reinforcements at the foot of the mountain are all the militiamen from nearby counties, and their combat effectiveness is not comparable to that of the frontier soldiers in Yansui Town. There's no use wasting food."

Ma Ming's relaxed attitude greatly relieved the tension of the soldiers guarding the village. That night, Gao's army village was full of meat and wine, and there was also a corner (two taels). Everyone had a good rest after eating and eating. Ma Ming and Tessna are still dispatching troops to strategize.

In the early morning of September 9000th, Gao Guiying completed the final defense of the Gaojiajunzhai. Of the 7000 people in the entire village, more than 500 people except for [-] old and weak children and seriously injured people participated in the defense of the village. Soldiers, three hundred soldiers were added to the southeast and northeast joints, and the soldiers defending the west formed a reserve team of [-] people. The defense in the west was handed over to the lightly wounded and the elderly.

The officers and soldiers of Yansui Town, Shanxi also began to blow their horns, and the officers and soldiers of each battalion came out of the battalion one after another; this time, Wang Wei, the commander-in-chief, forcibly conscripted soldiers from Fugu, Jiazhou, Fuzhou, Suide, and Mizhi prefectures and counties. Soldiers and horses, as a result, four to five thousand civilian troops came from Fugu, Fuzhou, and Shenmu counties. Zhou Shiqi, the magistrate of Suide, cried out to Wang Wei for soldiers. Maozhi County of Jiazhou only sent [-] loads of grain Yan Zibin, the magistrate of Mizhi County, ignored the fat sheep.

Wang Wei originally wanted to trouble Jiazhou, Mizhi, and Suide, but he got news that Yulin City was invaded by Mongolian troops day and night on the ninth day of the lunar new year, but Wang Wei didn't know the specific situation. He took those Mongols to heart, but the news that came on the [-]th gave Wang Wei a headache, because Yue Hesheng, the governor of Yansui Town, suspected that the Mongolian army that besieged Yulin City should be in the same group as Gao's army.

Wang Wei immediately wrote back to Governor Yue Hesheng, hoping that Yue Hesheng would hold back the Mongolian army, and he would try his best to solve the Gaojia army stronghold as soon as possible. However, when Yue Hesheng received Wang Wei's letter, Xue Jiajun's iron hoof had already passed Guidebao came straight to Mizhi Gao's army stronghold.

At this time, Wang Wei could no longer care about being angry with the officials of Jiazhou, Mizhi, and Suide. On the [-]th, he rushed to the militia to serve as cannon fodder. According to the report, all the old and weak women in the village participated in the battle. If it weren't for those guys who were desperate for their lives with grenades and explosives, the officers and soldiers of Yansui Town not only got all the property of Gao's army village, but even the women in the village would have been in the army for a long time. Aww screaming, although Chen Hongfan's raid last time failed, but Wang Wei knew that Gao's army stronghold was at the end of its battle.
