Chapter 468 Afterglow of the Empire

Since Ning Yu took the lead in using digging to attack the city under Jingzhou City, this tactic has become the mainstream of this era, and the corresponding defense technology of the city has not kept up, resulting in the battlefield advantage no longer favoring the defenders so much. Even a strong city will be breached one day.

Near the south gate of Wangdu City, smoke and dust carried a large number of fragments of limbs and flew to the surroundings. The city wall, which was originally not very strong, collapsed several feet, revealing the greenish-brown bricks inside and a large pile of The pile of ruins became a road leading to the city wall, and also became a sharp knife inserted into the defenders.

A large number of soldiers of the Fuhan Army raised their swords and guns, and rushed up the city wall from this gap, while the green battalion soldiers they faced all knelt down on the ground and raised their hands.

Shi Wazi and the veteran raised their hands first under the leadership of the General Manager. Although they knew in their hearts that the Fuhan Army would not kill innocent people indiscriminately, they were still a little apprehensive, fearing that the other party would not be able to control their killing intent and would kill themselves and others. Get slaughtered.

Not long after, a captain of the Fuhan Army stood in front of the crowd. His expression was extremely solemn. Although he was holding a musket in his hand, he did not point the gun at the surrendered soldiers of the Qing Army, but pointed at them obliquely. The sky, which also made the soldiers of the Qing army put down a little worry.

After initially letting go of their worries, the surrendered soldiers somewhat fantasized that perhaps, after such a day, they could also become such an airy figure.

The captain glanced at the surrendered soldiers, and then said loudly: "You don't have to worry, our Fuhan army has good military discipline, never oppressed the people, and never slaughtered the surrendered soldiers. As long as you strictly abide by the rules of prisoners of war, you will be released in the future go home."

After hearing the captain's words, the soldiers couldn't help being overjoyed, and knelt on the ground to kowtow to the captain. At this moment, the general manager raised his head, looked at the superior who was much younger than him with a complicated expression, and asked in a low voice. Said: "I want to join you, can I?"

The captain had a smile on his face, "Brother, of course you can join the Fuhan Army if you want to, but you will have to wait until the end of the war and accept our army's reorganization and test at that time. As long as you pass the test, you can become a Fuhan Army One of the recruits."

For the current Fu-Han army, the reorganization of the captured army is not as urgent as before, and it also has more time and energy to slowly recuperate. Therefore, it no longer directly pulls the newly captured army to reorganize as in the past. In this way, the captives can be better digested and the risk can be reduced.

But when he heard the captain's explanation, he couldn't help sighing softly: "Sir, I want to join the Fu-Han army now, and I will shoot and ask the commander to do it."

Hearing this, all the captive soldiers couldn't help showing surprise. They marveled at their total courage, and a little envious. If they can join the Fuhan Army now, their future will be better in the future.

The smile on the captain's face faded away. It's not that he has never seen grass on the wall, and there are quite a few people like this. They all saw the strength of the Han army and wanted to join in and sing their own dramas with the help of tiger skins. However, these people only It will damage the image of the Fuhan Army, so in principle it is not allowed to join directly.

Just looking at the sincere expression on President Ba's face, the captain couldn't help being touched. He was also adapted from the Green Battalion, so he can understand this idea better.

"Tell me your reasons."

"For ten acres of military land."

Ba Zong expressed his deepest thoughts almost without hesitation, and his naked attitude even touched the captain, this is a man who is honest enough.

At this time, the captain admired the general manager a little bit, and said with a smile: "For the sake of ten acres of military land, this reason is reasonable. But it is too easy to enlist in the army so easily."

Speaking of this, the captain raised the musket in his hand, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "The battle in the city is not over yet, follow me to continue fighting, destroy a Qing soldier, I will guarantee you to join in advance, how about ?”

"Dry!"

A look of determination appeared on the face of the general manager. Perhaps to him, death in battle is not terrible, but death in a wimp is more terrible. Then, regardless of the blunderbuss beside him, he directly picked up a long knife and followed the captain into the city. Go to the battle.

Although the Qing army had been completely defeated, gunshots like popping beans echoed everywhere, even mixed with the explosion of grenades, and the air was filled with the pungent smell of gunpowder smoke.

Accompanied by some military officers, Dong Ce stepped on the bloody battlefield. Looking from his direction, there were corpses of the Qing army that had been paid everywhere, and some corpses of the Fuhan army. In the center of the palace, where the Qing army commanded, it was filled with the sound of fighting and the sound of blades piercing into the human body.

On a narrow street, a large number of soldiers of the Fu Han Army and the Qing Army pushed each other, fighting and fighting. The cruelty of cold weapons was vividly reflected at this moment. The blood of both sides almost turned this place into a river of blood. The fallen corpses were stacked on top of each other.

"Hmph, I didn't expect that there are still people so tenacious at such a time."

A sneer appeared on Dong Ce's face. He didn't think the opponent's courage was so respectable. He only felt that this person knew that fighting like this would result in annihilation of the entire army, but he ignored the result at all. He was simply stubborn.

Immediately, an officer pointed to a general of the Qing army in the crowd, shook his head and said, "This man is Xing Wentai, who guards Wangdu. He was originally a martial arts scholar in the 51st year of Kangxi. He is very skilled in martial arts, but he doesn't understand the current situation."

Dong Ce shook his head and sighed softly: "Although this man has courage, he is only one person after all. Even with his bodyguards, how many nails can he hit? Even if it is the courage to sacrifice, can it beat me? The Iron Master of the Fuhan Army?"

The officer also shook his head, and sighed in a low voice: "When our war mode has gradually become a science and technology, the generals of the Qing army are still fighting in the traditional old way, and it should be normal to lose. Yes, as for people like Xing Wentai, they are somewhat respectable, but even more pathetic."

Dong Ce nodded lightly. He had to say that since the Fuhan Army went all the way to the north, it has advanced armaments, familiar tactics, and even intelligence issues have become quite mature, which can be said to be invincible.

As for the Qing army encountered along the way, they were full of ugly behaviors, some surrendered and broke up on the spot, some looted and killed people everywhere, and even more Qing soldiers fled after hearing the news. People like Xing Wentai, But no more than five fingers.

Even when they were attacking Wangdu, the front was very smooth, but when facing Xing Wentai, the iron nails of the Fuhan Army couldn't be nailed down anyway. This made Dong Ce very angry and launched a general attack himself. The command.

"Capture Wangdu City and capture Xing Wentai alive!"

Under such slogans, another battalion of Fuhan Army soldiers arrived and joined the battlefield, which also made the strangulation on the battlefield even more cruel.

Xing Wentai's arms were covered with wounds, blood was gradually overflowing, and the Qing soldiers around him were fighting less and less, while the soldiers of the Fuhan Army were increasing, especially when he heard the Fuhan Army shouting " Capture Wangdu City and capture Xing Wentai alive", the whole person gave a deep wry smile.

At the beginning, he boldly assured Governor Li Weijun that he would be able to hold on for at least ten days, but judging from the current speed, it would only take two days.In just two days, Wangdu City will be completely occupied, and he, Xing Wentai, will also be on the verge of death.

Looking at the soldiers of the Fuhan Army who were gradually gathering, Xing Wentai couldn't help but a wry smile appeared on his face. He wanted to pick up the long knife in his hand, but found that his arm had no strength.

The lieutenant beside him glanced at Xing Wentai, and then resolutely said: "Junmen, the last general will go first, and we will be brothers in the next life!"

Dozens of guards who were still able to move followed the lieutenant general and rushed into the crowd of Fuhan Army soldiers, as if a drop of water was about to return to the sea, and were soon completely submerged in the rolling crowd.

Xing Wentai leaned on the long knife with great difficulty, and looked at the soldiers of the Fuhan Army who were gradually approaching, but he thought of Kangxi's 51st year. He also made a name for himself, and now in his early thirties, he has become the chief soldier guarding a place.

Perhaps, Xing Wentai, who was in full bloom at that time, could never have imagined that it was the last brilliance of the Qing Dynasty, and it was also the true peak period of Xing Wentai's life.

"Forget it, I will use this body to repay the kindness of the late emperor."

On October 22, the third year of innovation, when the 15 army led by Emperor Yongzheng entered Baoding Mansion, Wangdu was conquered, and Xing Wentai, the chief soldier of Zhengding Town, died on the spot.

At this special time, the Central Group Army of the Fuhan Army, which has been silent for a long time, finally announced a big news that they have landed in Tianjin.
