Chapter 565: After a long battle, Zhang He strikes (two chapters in one)(1/2)
When Cao Cao's coalition troops arrived one mile away from the south gate.
All the soldiers of the Chinese Legion are ready at this time.
They picked up their rifles, prepared all the bullets, and stood behind the south gate.
Just wait for Cao Cao's army to approach. Once they appear within the range of the rifle's shooting, it is the time for them to die. At the same time, on the dilapidated city walls, all the Chinese soldiers are also fully prepared.
What should come will come. When the first person from Cao Cao's coalition appeared 300 meters away.
"shot!"
Under Qing Cang's order, the first shot fired by the Chinese Legion.
The first person rushing in front was killed. The same was true for the people around him. This is the huge advantage of advanced weapons. Because 300 meters is still within the range of the Chinese Legion, and the opponent's musket is up to 100 meters, so this is equivalent to the Chinese Legion having a buffer range of 200 meters. They can kill tens of thousands of enemies in these 200 meters.
Although the Cao army rushing in front fell down like that, this did not seem to stop them from moving. They rushed towards Huaxia City like they were desperate. Yes, their first priority today is to capture Huaxia City, and sacrifice is inevitable, so who let them join the army?
The battle is still going on, and today's war is destined to be a war that spans a long time.
As the first shot fired, the warriors of the Chinese Legion showed excitement, because in a while they would kill the invading enemy.
With the size of the inner city wall, it seems that no more soldiers can be arranged. Each city wall has a threshold value. Once this value exceeds, the number of soldiers cannot increase. Therefore, their number of enemies killed is fixed. This has given Cao Cao's army an opportunity to take advantage of, so their shooting lasts less than five minutes. Cao Cao's army has pushed into a range of 200 meters. Because their number is too large, even if they keep shooting, they cannot completely retain them.
And at this time someone reported: "Commander! All the sandbags in the city are ready."
"Please make these sandbags into fortifications. If the enemy forces into the city, you will hide behind the sandbags and attack them!"
From now on, he will use sandbags as fortifications to attack Cao Cao, which can reduce their casualties. You should know that he will respond to Cao's army with 800,000 people. Although his weapons are advanced, when a large number of people pour in, sometimes he will be tired of dealing with it. Sometimes they will suffer a lot of losses. The more this happens, the more he has to think of is to minimize the losses of the Chinese Legion. Because the training of each soldier in the Chinese Legion is very difficult. After defeating Cao Cao's coalition, he still expects them to go south and unify the whole world.
After a while, someone came over to remind Qing Cang: "Commander! Now the enemy has entered a range of 100 meters. It is already very dangerous here. Please ask the commander to go to the rear to organize the battle."
Qing Cang said, "I understand!" He glanced at Cao Cao's coalition forces with a little deeper meaning. This time, there is a long way to go.
After Qing Cang entered the city, Cao Cao's army began to frantically flow into the outer city. At this time, the outer city was already in ruins. They entered the outer city without spending any difficulty. Some people directly set up cannons on the outer city. The existence of these cannons is another huge danger to Huaxia City.
Others began to organize an attack. These people accelerated into the inner city of Huaxia at a speed of lightning. But they didn't know that there were still a large number of mines between the outer city and the inner city at this time, waiting for them. So in this wave of attack, these people suffered a large portion of the losses under the influence of mines.
However, judging from their attack situation, they had occupied the outer city and then headed to the inner city. This attack was victorious. Next, when the inner city was occupied, the entire Huaxia City might be taken directly, at least that's what Cao Cao thought.
Boom boom boom boom
At this time, due to the Cao army's advance, some soldiers accidentally stepped on landmines and caused landmines to explode, and some people directly killed their lives.
"There are mines! Oh my god!"
"My thighs are gone!"
"No! It's so scary!"
"I didn't expect that there was such a thing in Huaxia City."
Due to the deterrence of landmines, the soldiers in the outer city of Cao Cao's army were stagnant.
Just then, a hundred chariots suddenly appeared from behind. They rushed towards the inner city with great fear. This time, these chariots would act as victims and directly discharged the mines buried in the road they must pass.
Boom boom boom boom
I saw that some chariots were lifted aside and the tracks were completely scrapped.
But these could not stop the chariots from moving, they drove a way out.
At this time, a large number of landmines were consumed by them, which was not good news for Huaxia City.
It has to be said that this time the advancement really had an effect. The Cao Cao coalition army, behind the chariot, also began to attack. With the cover of the chariots, some soldiers on the inner city walls could not completely eliminate the Cao Cao army that was about to attack. At this time, they could only bombard the chariots with powerful cannons. So at this time the cannon sounded again, and a large number of shells fell on the chariots. These chariots were quickly paralyzed, but this did not seem to stop the Cao Cao coalition army from doing so. They were already heartless and wanted to capture Huaxia City.
The soldiers in the inner city are already hiding behind the sandbags.
Qing Cang returned to the main city and waited for the battle situation to be sent back.
This time it was a protracted battle, and now it is getting darker.
The battle is still going on.
In the main city, everyone was sitting upright, discussing the situation of the war.
Guo Jia said: "Cao Cao's army has been stalemate with us for two hours at this time, and the troops on both sides are a little tired."
Qing Cang said: "This is the case with the war! I think Cao Cao would not retreat like this. They all fought a mile from the inner city and could not retreat."
The battle situation was already very tense at this time. From the appearance of the Cao Cao coalition forces to the present, they fought for nearly a day. This day was a torment for everyone.
The armies of both sides suffered losses. According to the information ahead, Cao Cao's army had been consumed at this time, while the Chinese army suffered losses of about 50,000, because they had fortifications and advanced weapons. The losses were far from that of Cao Cao's army.
However, this war caused Qing Cang to directly kill a large number of generals. They went to the front line and set an example.
Qing Cang looked at the list of dead generals and saw a large number of names on the list being cut off one by one.
Liao Bao, Shi Le, Zhang Wenhao, Gu Bei, Xie Zimiao, Ding Haojie, Hongfeng, Wang Wu, Ao Hang, Hong Yu, Murong Bai, Zhao Fan...
These people are all those who have been helpful to Huaxia City. No one is in a relaxed mood for their passing, and everyone is looking at them with an extremely heavy mood.
Qing Cang's voice was very heavy.
"Remember these people, the generals who sacrificed for my Huaxia City, will be immortal, and all the names will be carved on the martyrs' monument, so that their families will receive the greatest preferential treatment!"
People all have feelings, and so do Qing Cang. These people once conquered the world for themselves. Now that they are dead, this is probably what he can do for them.
Everyone looked at the south, and a large amount of fire was ignited there. As we all know, this was the result of the fierce battle between the two armies.
The battle did not stop until the early morning. This was just a pause, because the later it was, the more unfavorable it was for the battle. Both sides temporarily stopped the attack, and the place occupied by both sides fell into tranquility. This tranquility not only did not calm people's hearts, but instead put more pressure on both sides. Maybe some people here would not see the sun tomorrow.
Everyone in the main city is destined to be sleepless tonight.
Qing Cang said: "Have you arranged the medical treatment and rest?"
Zhao Zilong replied: "Commander, it has been arranged."
At this time, Zhao Zilong's face was covered in dust and his clothes were completely dirty.
"Very good. Although the attack is temporarily stopped, patrols must be strengthened at night and strengthened fortifications. The battle situation tomorrow will definitely be even more tense. I hope some sacrifices can be saved!"
"clear!"
At this time, Guo Jia stepped forward and said, "Commander, it's getting late, so you need to have a good rest, because you still need your command!"
"Wait a little longer!"
"By the way, have you done the work of giving medicine to the moat?"
Zhang Liao was not much better, he said:
"Commander, we have arranged that Cao Cao's army will definitely experience a lot of diarrhea tomorrow!"
"Well, it's done well, and this medicine needs to be continued. The place where they can get water is limited, and the source is in our city. I don't believe it. How much energy do they have to attack my city!"
This was the design at the beginning. Although the entire moat surrounds the entire city, the source was directly arranged to the place in the city, where a large number of fortifications had been built, and there were special people to guard it. This time, Qing Cang asked someone to put a large amount of laxatives into the river. In addition to this moat, the nearest one was ten miles away. These people were greedy for the nearest, so they would definitely get water on the spot. At that time, they took the laxatives and did not have to wait for tomorrow. There would definitely be a large number of exhausted soldiers tonight.
Qing Cang remembered something again and said, "The disinfection work in the city must be done well. If there are dead people, plagues are likely to occur. Please pay attention to this."
"Doctor Hua has already started doing it."
"Okay, then, I'll go and rest first. If you have something to do, you can retreat too. The battle tomorrow will still be very serious."
"yes!"
Only then did everyone retreat and the entire main city became quiet.
...
The night was very quiet at this time, so quiet that it was a little strange. It was not until a sound of footsteps that the silence was broken. A group of people quickly passed through the walls of the main city. It was strange that there was no guard guarding the main city at this time.
Among this group of people, a tall and powerful man was hesitant and hesitated within the wall for a while.
At this time, his subordinates whispered: "General Zhang, are we going in and capturing Qing Cang alive?"
After the man responded, he went inside without thinking much.
At this time someone said, "We found out that Qing Cang was in this room."
The leader said, "Very good. Qing Cang really dares to rest. It's time to go, and he can still sleep! You follow me in and shoot him to death! If you are alive, the lord will definitely be promoted when you go back!"
Although these people couldn't see their faces clearly in the darkness, they could feel their excitement from their breath.
"yes!"
After saying this, the group of people, about fifteen people, rushed into the room where Qing Cang was.
With a bang, Qing Cang's door was directly blown open by them. As soon as these people entered the door, they picked up muskets and swept them onto the bed. This time, let alone people, they even beat the bed to pieces.
"Go and have a look!"
The leader ordered the people below to go and take a look, so someone went over and lifted the quilt, touched it, and immediately shouted: "No one!"
"What!"
Then the surroundings lit up, and the person in charge immediately shouted.
"Oh no, I'm trapped! Evacuate!"
But when they wanted to evacuate, it was too late.
Because the surroundings are already surrounded by people, this makes people directly surrounded.
"I'll fight you guys!"
To be continued...
