Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Verse 125 Complete victory


Thick black smoke shrouded the entire city, and the bottom of the city wall was filled with things that Fan Yunhai couldn't understand. This kind of viscous liquid was pushed up by trucks and surrounded the entire north gate and west gate, especially at the corner of the northwest city wall, which clearly became the focus of the opponent's attack. Even after discovering the other party's plan, Fan Yunhai was at a loss what to do. He didn't just debut, he knew his own advantage. The other party put on such a defensive posture, which obviously showed signs of a trap. His own advantage lies in a strong city to rely on If he really wants to break the opponent's encirclement, he may have to take the huge risk of falling into the opponent's hidden ambush. Perhaps the enemy is waiting for him to make such a decision. He is in great pain but has no choice.

The miserable day began again with the rising of the sun. When the enemy's rockets landed on the encirclement formed by those strange objects, they immediately burned, and the thick smoke quickly formed a huge cloud above the positions outside the city. The smoke screen, and then rushed to the top of the city wall with the help of the wind. The wall was filled with a disgusting smell of smoke. The wet wipes and water prepared had no effect on the smoke. In the chaos, the enemy's attacking team was Under the cover of mobile arrow towers, catapults, and ballistas, an attack wave was formed, and they swooped up again. Without effective countermeasures, the soldiers of the Taiping Cult completely lost confidence. I don't know when this situation will end. Either they are dizzy and slaughtered, or they have to retreat into the city to start street fighting. Neither of these two paths seems to be a good choice. The several days of fighting finally came to an end after paying a heavy price, but this time the enemy was obviously different. Fan Yunhai noticed that the attack density and frequency from the enemy's long-range attack weapons were significantly stronger, which was due to the fact that his side was still holding on to the top of the city. The sharp increase in the number of casualties can be seen, and the news from the observation post on the top of the city also proves this, the enemy is launching a general attack.

What should I do? Should we retreat into the city and defend to the death or retreat out of the city? According to the news from the east, the enemy's encirclement in the east seems to be much weaker, and it seems that many people have been transferred to the battlefields in the north and east. Is this a sign of the enemy's lack of troops, or is the intentional side leaving the strong city to take the opportunity to encircle and suppress? Fan Yunhai's mind was in chaos, and he couldn't make such a simple decision for a long time. In the end, he decided to retreat out of the city, because he knew that once the enemy entered the city, he would have no hope of escaping. , the enemy can control the whole city in a very short period of time, and then destroy himself one by one, he does not want to see this scene.

In fact, before the general offensive was launched, Wufeng had already been questioned by the generals participating in the war many times. Although the three days of poison gas attacks and conventional attacks caused the Taiping Army who defended the city to suffer extraordinary losses, this did not mean that the Taiping Army From the fact that the Taiping army repeatedly used the reserve force to counterattack and regain control of the city wall from its own troops that had already occupied the city, it can be seen that the combat effectiveness of this army surpassed any Taiping army they had encountered before. As the name of the elite who participated in the offensive and defensive battle of Longdong, of course, this also has something to do with the fact that the Northwest Army did not go all out to fight.

The defense in the east is really too weak, there are only two regiments, and before the general offensive was launched, another infantry regiment was dispatched to join the battle in the north, leaving only one cavalry regiment to defend. It's absurd. Almost all the generals are suspicious that the head coach seems to be hot-headed, but they don't dare to question it openly, so they have to express their different opinions in a tactful manner, but they are all rejected by Wufeng. Wufeng's answer is only one sentence: "Believe in the strength of your troops. .”

Longdong City was finally breached. When the bright Jinpeng flag was flying high above the four gates of Longdongfu City, when the soldiers who captured the city were cheering, when a group of imperial gentry and merchants shy away from the door. When they greeted the new ruler with smiles on their backs, the Taiping Army who broke out from the east gate were all ecstatic. The enemy's defense line was unexpectedly weak and could be broken with one blow. Although the endlessly entangled enemy mobile cavalry Forcing himself to discard all the valuables that he originally planned to take away, but finally successfully brought the remaining 20,000 soldiers out of the cage, Fan Yunhai felt relieved and relaxed in addition to his grief and indignation. After careful reconnaissance and no enemy ambushes were found, Fan Yunhai gritted his teeth and led the 20,000 remnants on the way west to Longquan Mansion.

It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. This defeat is too unjust. I have experienced many battles, but I have no way to deal with it. I am completely passive and beaten. I am afraid that this will be a shame that I will never forget. To wash away this shame, only the blood of the enemy can be used. In the end, Fan Yunhai couldn't understand why Li Wufeng, who has always been shrewd, made such a big omission in the defense of the east. Maybe he underestimated his own height. He must have estimated his subordinates.

Inside Jianmen Pass. The gloomy weather made the atmosphere even more tense. You could see patrolling soldiers patrolling the streets. Most of the shops were closed. All solemn.

Coming out of Panji Pharmacy, Boss Zhou's obese body was reflected in the winter sun, and his figure became much slender. It's time, my wealth and life are betting on today's action, either the head will fall, or everyone will be happy, I don't know if I can convince the other party with this eloquence? While thinking about words, he tried his best to calm himself down, but it was really difficult. After walking a few steps, he just turned onto the main street, looking at the blue bird flag still fluttering in front of the mansion, Boss Zhou's breath was already heavy, and there were faint traces of sweat on his nose.

"Brother, the situation has been verified. Dasan Pass and Qitian Pass fell three days ago. Now the Lin Lang family's army has left Wumeng Mountain and is marching towards Hanzhong Mansion." A deep voice Full of frustration, the armored man glanced at the middle-aged man sitting on the main seat, who was distracted, "Brother, what do you think we should do now?"

"Hey, we also found the enemy outside the customs. It should be Li Wufeng's Northwest Army. The number is about one division. The situation is changing every day. Even my eldest brother, I'm not sure." Some helplessly looked up to the sky and sighed With a sound, the middle-aged man stroked his forehead with his hand, and sighed: "This situation has suddenly become like this, and there is no room for turning around. Why do you say that Dasan Pass and Qitian Pass were closed by Lin Lang in a blink of an eye?" Did the two break through? At the same time, isn’t that a bit weird?”

"Yes, although the Qitian Pass and Dashan Pass are not as good as our Jianmen Pass, they can be regarded as dangerous. How can the enemy break through in one night? This is simply too strange. Some people say that the internal and external cooperation was broken, but does this mean that there are traitors in our Taiping army?" the man in armor said indignantly.

"Hmph, I think this is correct, otherwise those two checkpoints could not have been captured in one night, and I wouldn't believe it even if they were killed. If there is no internal response, and an internal response with a certain amount of power participates, then it is impossible It's possible!" He said darkly, and the middle-aged man's eyes flowed, "Don't talk about them, second child, what do you think we should do?"

"Boss, I'll listen to you." The armored man probably got used to listening to the other party's opinions, and replied without hesitation.

"Well, I think we have to plan for ourselves. Once Dasan Pass and Qitian Pass fall, Hanzhong Mansion will fall sooner or later. Although our Jianmen Pass is dangerous, if it is captured by both sides I have no choice but to wait for death, I have to make a decision." The middle-aged man touched his chin, with a contemplative look on his face.

"Boss, are you saying that we want to surrender to the officers and soldiers?" The armored man showed a hesitant look on his face, "I'm afraid the brothers won't agree."

"Don't agree? If you don't agree, you have to wait for death. Let's stay here. We can't go in, we can't go in, we can't go back, we can't go back. Where do you think we can go?" The middle-aged man showed a cold smile on his face, "They want to Go to die, I don't want to, I haven't enjoyed enough, I've worked hard for most of my life, it's time for us to enjoy it, second child, don't be half-hearted, listen to me, that's right, let's find a suitable buyer, This sword gate is closed, so let’s not do this hard work, with what we have saved in the past two years, where can we not be a happy and rich man?”

"What about the brothers?" The armored man was silent for a while before asking.

"Hmph, if you want to offer the pass, you have to find a big tree. Now there are the Northwest Army outside the pass, and the Linlang family in the basin. Let's see who offers the highest price." The middle-aged man must have been planning this event for a long time. Things~IndoMTL.com~ said in a calm and unhurried manner: "We can negotiate with each other. Brothers, if you don't want to do it, you can leave freely. If you want to do it, you can follow each other. As for the future, we can't guarantee it." Already."

"Brother, are you quitting?" The man in armor had a painful look on his face.

"Well, I'm quitting, my second son. I've carefully considered which side we surrender to, I'm afraid it will be rare to be reused, and I'm already forty years old, and I don't want to work hard anymore. When I first joined the Taiping Sect, I was still a little passionate, but now everything is indifferent, the Taiping Sect is not the master of making big things happen, and it hasn't done it yet, and there is some disharmony inside." The middle-aged man rarely showed his true feelings, He said with some emotion, "Second, I won't force you. You and I are brothers. If you want to be a rich man, follow me. If you don't want to, I will also consider a suitable place for you."

After another period of silence, the man in armor finally said, "Then which family are you going to surrender to?"

"Well, it depends on you. If you still want to lead troops to fight, I will go to the Northwest Army. I heard that Mr. Jiang has surrendered there. It seems that Li Wufeng didn't keep them in trouble, which shows that Li Wufeng is still big-hearted. It’s broad, if you are willing to come with me to enjoy the blessings, I plan to talk to the Lin family or the Lang family.” The middle-aged man replied lightly, “Have you decided?”

"Brother, I..." The man in armor hesitated to speak, his embarrassment was beyond words.

"Okay, needless to say, I understand your thoughts, everyone has his own ambitions, you are still young, maybe your choice is correct, I will make arrangements for it." The middle-aged man immediately understood his brother. The thought interrupted his next words.
