The legend of the king of crossing

Chapter 553 Restoration of Mingzhou

Time passed bit by bit.The gunshots, explosions and hissing from time to time from the city kept stimulating my nerves.

musket.After all, it is not the automatic rifle of later generations.despite this.For firearms.I still have more confidence than anyone in the world.But after all, the stakes are high.It was the first time that such a large-scale street battle was carried out.So much so that I, who has always been calm, couldn't maintain my peace of mind.

I restlessly rode on the royal horse "Feiyan".Hold up your binoculars every now and then.Looking towards the bombed Mingzhou city gate.certainly.Except for those incomplete stones.I can't see anything in the city at all.instead.War scenes from later TV productions always come to my mind.You hit me with a gun.Bloody and brutal.

I don't know how long it has been.Fang Ling beside him whispered: "Brother, why don't I go to the city to see."

I said "ah".react to.It must be that Fang Ling saw that my expression was different.Just mentioned it.I took out my pocket watch and looked at it.It was less than a quarter of an hour before the last troops entered the city.Then he shook his head and said, "Let's talk later."

Another 10 minutes passed.I finally couldn't bear it anymore.Lu Wendao, the commander of the Heitan Regiment in the Guards, said: "General Lu, you lead the Heitan Regiment into the city to join the battle."

"Your Majesty." Lu Wenxin hesitated for a moment. "The last general is gone. The guards around the emperor are very weak."

"It's okay. There will be no Yuan army in the south of Mingzhou City. You enter the city immediately."

Lu Wenxin saw that my attitude was firm.Immediately said to the soldiers of the Heitan regiment behind him: "All the soldiers of the Heitan regiment. Let's go."

Watching more than 3000 Heitan regiment soldiers rushing into Mingzhou City like a gust of wind.I feel relieved a lot.

At this time.The sound from inside the city was still shaking.Yuan Ji said: "Your Majesty, the sound of bombs exploding in the city dominates. Compared with the previous ones, the number of bombs used by our army has increased significantly."

I nod.But there was still a trace of worry hanging between his brows.Another 5 minutes passed in silence.I suddenly ordered: "Pro-Guards, follow me into the city."

"Your Majesty, you can't." Hu Yande, the commander of the personal guards, dissuaded him. "The situation in the city is unknown. The emperor should stay outside the city."

"What. General Huyan. Don't you have the confidence to protect me well?"

Hu Yande said awkwardly: "Go back to the emperor. The end general doesn't mean that. The end general will be smashed to pieces and protect the emperor well."

"That's it." I lifted the reins.speak. "Enter the city."

Hu Yande glanced at Yuan Ji beside me.Said: "Yes, Your Majesty."

After dismounting in front of the city gate of Mingzhou.I was under the protection of more than 200 personal guards.Entered Mingzhou.

Although there was no scene of soldiers from both sides fighting in front of the city gate.But the feeling of being there is completely different.First is the sound.The shouts of killing mixed with gunshots and explosions were much clearer.It sounds like stereo after amplified by a power amplifier.It looks heartbreaking.It penetrates directly into people's hearts.Chilling.Secondly.There was smoke ahead.Thick smoke billowed as far as the eye could see.Still can't see the clues ahead.

I looked around.Go up the wall.Looking down condescendingly.Despite the clear skies.But only through smoke.Occasionally see a slightly closer battle scene.but.Most of the people nearby are our soldiers.There are few confrontations.Lu Wenhuan, who was in command, saw me enter the city.Immediately followed the city wall and said: "Your Majesty. Judging from the current situation, the two sides are intertwined. But our casualty rate is significantly lower than that of the enemy."

"Okay. General Lu. Let everyone not save ammunition. Even throwing all the more than 2 projectiles is feasible."

"Yes. I will understand in the end."

In addition to unfamiliar terrain.Be it weapons or morale.Song Jun has the upper hand.But the terrain doesn't seem to be much of a hindrance.When encountering ordinary housing obstacles.The Royal Forest Army did not go around.Dozens of throwing bombs were thrown directly.The house was blown up.If you come across some solid brick buildings.Will take a detour.Enemies are everywhere anyway.It's okay even if you get lost.It's the same everywhere.There is only one purpose.Kill Yuan Jun.

Unconsciously.It was noon.But the sound of fighting coming from the front showed no signs of stopping.

With the explosion of throwing bombs one by one.The number of Yuan troops began to decrease sharply.Although a thrown bomb sometimes can't kill a person.But as a result, the casualties of the soldiers of the Yuan army increased greatly.Second, I can only crawl on the ground to avoid it.This gave the Song Army musketeers plenty of time to reload.

One ebbs and another.Song Jun's advantage began to gradually turn into victory.

Lu Wenhuan kept reporting to me the development of the war.from these scattered messages.I can imagine the intensity of the battle.

About an hour later.I said to Lu Wenhuan: "General Lu, there is still a regiment of soldiers on the city wall. Let them join the battle."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Lu Wenhuan knew.The Yuan army in front should not be able to rush to the south gate of Mingzhou City.Immediately the order to attack was issued.The last group of guardsmen who received orders were led by their regimental commander.rush forward.

When I heard the explosions start to fade away.He looked at his pocket watch again.It was a quarter past four in the afternoon.

"It should be almost." I secretly breathed a sigh of relief.thought.

After half an hour.News came from the front one after another.The battle in the east of the city is over.The battle in the west of the city came to an end.The Yuan army in the north of the city withdrew from the north gate.There are only a few Yuan troops in the city still fighting stubbornly.

Adjacent to the north gate of Mingzhou City is a Yuan army camp.but.This camp is not a resting place for soldiers.It is the place where war horses are raised.

It was getting dark.The sound of fighting in the city also completely stopped.

I know.The battle is over.

At this point.I just found out.I couldn't lift my arms anymore.this day.I don't know how many times I raised the telescope.And this telescope is quite heavy.at the same time.I also felt that all the clothes on my body were soaked.I don't know if it's the weather or the tension.

After a while.The generals who participated in the battle gathered around me one by one.

Lu Wenhuan said happily: "Your Majesty, the battle is over. Our army has successfully recovered Mingzhou."

"Okay. All the soldiers have worked hard. General Lu. Clean up the battlefield immediately. Rescue the wounded. Assign garrison."

"Yes. Your Majesty."

"Also. If there are injured people in the city, they need to be rescued immediately."

"The order of the last general."

Under the command of Lu Wenhuan.All the generals perform their duties.Clean up the battlefield in an orderly manner.

When I walked into the center of Mingzhou City - Yuanjun Commander's Mansion.He sat down on a chair.About 10 minutes passed.I just got up and took a sip of water.Then he casually ate some military dry food that he carried with him.

"Although Mingzhou City has been taken, I don't know the casualties of our soldiers." I sat on the chair.while thinking.While enjoying Fang Ling's massage.

It was past ten o'clock in the evening.Lu Wenhuan and other major generals in the army came to my temporary station with happy faces.

"See Your Majesty."

"Exemption."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The ceremony was over.Lu Wenhuan spoke first. "Your Majesty. After preliminary counting. In today's battle, more than 300 soldiers of our army were killed. More than [-] people were slightly or seriously injured. Among the wounded were Xiang-level generals Lu Shikui and General Fan Tianshun. At the same time, our army attacked kill......"

"Wait, General Lu." I stood up at once.interrupted. "Why are there so many?"

Although I estimated the intensity of the war in advance.There is also a certain amount of preparation in my heart.But did not expect.The number of casualties exceeded [-].Almost half of our army.

"A lot." Lu Wenhuan murmured to himself.He replied: "Your Majesty. Although our army has paid the price of more than 2 casualties, it has killed at least [-] Yuan troops. Not counting the injured escapees."

"Judging from the comparison of casualty rates between the two sides, our army has the upper hand. But our army has the advantage of firearms." I sighed.Said. "It seems that the Yuan army's fighting power is really strong. By the way, General Lu. How are the two generals, Lu Shikui and Fan Tianshun, injured?"

When asked about the situation of the two generals.I became tense again.Even the commander of the compartment was injured.It is enough to see the fierceness and cruelty of this street fighting.

"Your Majesty. The injuries are serious. But none of them are life-threatening."

I breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay. Order the field hospital to give rescue."

"Yes. Your Majesty."

"General Lu. Are there any casualties among the people in this city?"

"Return to Your Majesty. There are almost no people in this city of Mingzhou. According to the account of the soldiers of the captured Yuan army, the people in the city have been moved to other areas one after another after the Yuan army entered."

"It's okay. The common people are not affected. General Lu. All generals, sit down and talk."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"General Lu. As mentioned earlier, Generals Lu Shikui and Fan Tianshun were seriously injured. Why?"

Lu Wenhuan said: "Your Majesty, General Fan Tianshun was in the battle in the east of the city. He met Huaidu, the general of the Mongol Cowardly Army. Huaidu was very skilled in martial arts. He killed more than ten of my soldiers one after another. General Fan fought with him. He was defeated. Twice stabbed in the body. Fortunately, General Wen Zhang arrived in time. He performed the flying knife stunt and rescued General Fan. After that, General Wen killed Huaidu. General Lu Shikui was in the battle in the north of the city. Fighting. After ten rounds, he killed Suodu who was already injured. He was seriously injured by Suodu's blow just before he died."

I have heard the names of Huaidu and Suodu.They are all well-known fierce generals in the Mongolian army.I nodded and said, "The two generals are brave. They should be commended. General Lu. Which other generals of the Yuan army were killed by our army?"

"Your Majesty. Among the generals of the Yuan army who were killed, Huaidu and Suodu were the most brave. However, there is another great achievement. General Guo Kan of the Yuan army was captured alive by General Meng and General Duan."

"Guo Kan. Commander of the Yuan Army's Conquest of the Ten Southern Metropolises."
