Xi Changzhen took advantage of the fact that the soldiers outside the city had not yet entered the city, and quickly led the soldiers down the city tower. Xi Yinglong also followed closely with the soldiers stationed on the city tower, and also went down the city tower. Once the army outside the city attacked, the city tower would be attacked immediately, so Xi Yinglong immediately went down the city tower.

The Qing soldiers charged, approached the city gate, and entered the city without encountering any resistance. This situation surprised the people who led the soldiers.

The person who led the troops was named Tang Fu, and he was the deputy head of the regiment promoted by Yang Banhou.

Tang Fu said loudly: "The commander of the third battalion, lead the soldiers in the left-hand direction; The commander of the second battalion, leading the soldiers in the right-hand direction; The commander of the first battalion led 2,000 soldiers along the straight official road leading to the center of the city. The three-way army rushed towards the governor's palace. ”

Yang Banhou had a total of 5,000 soldiers under his command, the third and second battalions were both 1,000 soldiers, the first battalion was 3,000 soldiers, and the three battalions were 5,000 people. According to the staffing in the army, a thousand soldiers is generally a regiment, three thousand soldiers are already a brigade, and five thousand soldiers can definitely be called a reinforced brigade.

In an ordinary army, 5,000 people is close to the size of two brigades, which can be regarded as half a division. Such a strong force rushed into the city, it was definitely a powerful fighting force.

Tang Fu sent his soldiers to attack, leaving a thousand men at the city gates. He led his soldiers to the city tower in Lingui County and controlled the situation on the city tower. It's a pity that the city is already empty, and there is no one. The army entered the city safely and soundly, and Li Zhen led the soldiers under Smith, Yang Banhou and Zhou Xiuying into the city and occupied the south gate of Lingui County.

Li Zhen stood on the city tower overlooking the city, and saw that the soldiers of the regiment under the command of Yang Banhou were divided into three groups, and said: "Yang Banhou, this is the last battle between us and Xi Yinglong, and it is also the time when Xi Yinglong's resistance is the strongest. I hope that this army under your command will achieve final victory. ”

Yang Banhou confidently said slowly: "Don't worry, my soldiers will win!" ”

Li Zhen chuckled and shook his head, but did not speak.

To be honest, he is still a little jealous of Xi Changzhen and Xi Yinglong. Xi Changzhen Yunwen Yunwu is not a simple character, and Xi Yinglong can become a governor from a martial artist, and he is definitely not a simple character.

Now that the march is so smooth, Li Zhen has a little drum in his heart.

"Bang! Bang!! ”

A burst of gunfire rang out, and fighting began in the city.

Yang Banhou said excitedly: "My lord, the battle in the city has begun. You wait and see, the final victory must belong to the soldiers under my command, and Xi Changzhen and Xi Yinglong will definitely be defeated. ”

Gunshots rang out incessantly, echoing through the city.

Because of the distance, Li Zhen couldn't really see the situation in the city.

"Bring the binoculars!"

Li Zhen asked the soldiers to stand on the tower with binoculars to watch, and he saw the situation in the city through the telescope. The battle took place not in a wide square or in a vast area, but in the alleyways leading to the center of the city.

The three-way army under the command of Yang Banhou all encountered such a situation.

On both sides of the alleyway are hidden soldiers under Xi Changzhen's command, and these soldiers are hiding in the houses to make a move. There were those who fired, those who threw grenades, and even those who used bows and arrows, and all weapons that could hurt people were used in one go. The soldiers in the alley were attacked, but the counterattack was weak, because the other side was hiding and it was difficult to deal with.

"Street fighting!"

Li Zhen muttered, his expression extremely solemn. The streets of the city were full of streets and alleys, and Xi Changzhen used street fighting to block the pace of his soldiers, obviously trying to use this advantage to restrain Li Zhen's offensive.

"Withdraw!"

Li Zhen suddenly shouted: "Order the army to withdraw!" ”

"To withdraw?"

Yang Banhou raised his eyebrows, and said unwillingly: "Marshal, even if our soldiers are blocked, the soldiers under his command are all elite!" Definitely not a death-scared person. You don't let the soldiers withdraw for the time being, they will definitely take the entire Lingui County, and they will capture Xi Changzhen and Xi Yinglong alive, and finally let Xi Yinglong and Xi Changzhen kneel in front of the marshal and beg for mercy. ”

Li Zhen shook his head stubbornly and continued to shout: "Smith, the order to recall the army!" ”

"Yes!"

Smith ordered the soldiers to be called back to the soldiers.

Yang Banhou had an aggrieved expression on his face, and Li Zhen directly threw the telescope to him and said, "In my own opinion, Xi Yinglong's army has laid layers of defense, and it must be planning to entangle our army in the city, and then further annihilate all our soldiers." If there is a battle on the wide avenue outside the city, I am not afraid of the soldiers under Xi Changzhen's command at all. Right now in the city, the soldiers are being attacked in the alleys, and they are suddenly crowded, and it is unlikely that they will even fight back. You feel aggrieved, but you also have to consider the overall situation. ”

After Li Zhen finished speaking, he had no binoculars, so he could only look at the city tower.

Yang Banhou looked at the situation in the city, and his face was bitter.

The soldiers under his command seem to be stuck in the mire, which is too ......

For a while, Yang Banhou felt a fever on his face. After the soldiers retreated, Li Zhen looked at the city and fell into deep thought, and said for a long time: "The army temporarily controls this part of the south gate, stationed it, and then sends troops at night." ”

"Yes!"

Yang Banhou, Smith and others agreed to come down and stop talking.

……

Doge's Palace, in the Hall.

Xi Yinglong sat on the main seat, saw Xi Changzhen coming, and asked with a smile: "Brother, did you win the first time?" There wasn't a hint of nervousness on his face, but there was a look of anticipation in his eyes that he wanted to win.

Xi Changzhen said: "The first confrontation, we won!" ”

"Whew!!"

Xi Yinglong breathed a long sigh of relief, and the big stone in his heart finally landed. Immediately, Xi Changzhen continued: "My Lord Xi, this is Li Zhen's first wave of attacks, and this time he took advantage of the street fighting to catch the other party off guard. The next battle will become more and more fierce, and it depends on who can hold out to the end between us and Li Zhen. ”

Xi Yinglong said: "I believe that it must be us who will persist to the end." ”

Xi Changzhen said: "You are really confident enough! ”

Xi Yinglong said: "Now you must have self-confidence. If both of us feel that there is no hope, the soldiers below will definitely be even more distracted, and they will no longer be able to calm down and fight. Therefore, until the last minute, you must not give up. Brother, I'll take care of the overall dispatch from the warring to you, and I'll take care of the overall scheduling. ”

"Yes, yes!"

Xi Changzhen nodded and agreed.

……

Time passed, and the scorching sun was setting in the west, radiating a raging heat. A red sun was shining in the sky, but it was summer, and the weather was still quite hot. Blood-red light shone down on the walls, illuminating the entire city as if it had been stained with blood.

Li Zhen stood on the city tower, looked at the blood-red sky, and took a deep breath.

He had already given the order to engage tonight, so there was a little nervousness in his heart.

ps: The second shift, call it a day. Tomorrow to resume the update, hehe, ask for support,
