He continued to swim forward without saying a word. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The officers and soldiers who were ambushed by the river watched Yao Laosi disappear into the dark moat, everyone held their breath, and they didn't know how long it was, until they saw that there seemed to be a figure crawling across the moat. Arrived under the city wall again, and then a white thing was waving, which was the agreed signal, after Yao Laosi crossed the moat, he would wave a white cloth. The person with good eyesight saw Yao Laosi waving for a while, and quietly slipped back into the moat. After a while, Yao Laosi climbed up to the river bank from this side, still crawling back to the starting position in a prostrate posture.

"If you can get there, there seems to be no one in the city. Brothers, prepare yourself and come with me at once. Yao Laosi said. Although he tried his best to endure it, his teeth still couldn't help but tremble.

There were already soldiers handing over the clothes, but Yao Laosi didn't answer them at all, he said while sighing on the air conditioner: "I'm used to freezing it." ”

The troops of this assault were all soldiers who were quite good at water. Yao Laosi has already set an example, and everyone will not say more. First, a long ladder was quietly transported to the river, and everyone took off their clothes. Put clothes, guns, and thunder bullets into the wooden basin. More than 30 men carried ladders and dragged wooden basins into the water.

This plan is extremely risky, and if it does not come true, these thirty or so people will be in danger. Xu Guodong had already ordered people to prepare dozens of temporary bunkers, and set up sacks full of soil on the table. Once the movement of Yao Laosi and others was discovered in the opposite city, these temporary bunkers were immediately transported to the river, and the rifle shooters fired at the enemy in the city to cover the return of the assault team.

However, the enemies at the head of the city may feel that no one will actually swim across the moat in winter, so the number of enemies on this section of the wall is already small. Coupled with the harassing firepower that attracted the attention of the enemy, the city was now quiet.

"That's it, quietly!" All the soldiers on this side of the moat, including Xu Guodong, couldn't help but pray. The assault team had quietly crossed the moat. The ladder slowly erected, and when it came into contact with the wall, it made a small impact. The commandos then began to climb up the ladder. Xu Guodong's eyesight is good, and the commandos at the front have already climbed halfway, and they can climb another three or four meters to reach the top of the city wall. At this moment, it was determined that someone at the head of the city shouted, "Who! Then the torches lit.

"Quick! Push the table! Xu Guodong anxiously ordered in a low voice. According to the plan, the assault team would retreat immediately when it encountered problems, and Xu Guodong would cover with fire. When the brothers on this side of the moat stood up and prepared to act, they heard Yao Laosi's voice ringing on the other side of the moat, "it, brothers, get on!" With this roar, a violent explosion suddenly sounded at the head of the city. It was the sound of Lei Yan bullets, and the sneak attack turned into a strong attack.

Faced with such a backbone move, Xu Guodong was immediately put in a dilemma. If they didn't support Yao Laosi, they would immediately face the enemy's siege. But the preparations up to now have been preparations for shooting at the enemy at the head of the city. When Yao Laosi commanded the assault team to attack the city, it was very likely that the commando members would be injured by mistake by shooting at the enemy at the head of the city. If reinforcements are carried out, then Xu Guodong, who not long ago opposed turning a feint attack into a strong attack, will personally change his original plan.

Xu Guodong's dilemma did not last long, the first commandos had successfully climbed to the top of the city, and the soldiers behind followed him one by one. Then there was the explosion of thunder bullets, and then the sound of rifle shots. and the screams of the wounded. The battle was instantly heated up.

It is absolutely impossible to see death without help, Xu Guodong gritted his teeth and shouted to an officer beside him: "Three sentinels, you immediately take your team over to support." ”

"Yes!" The officer did not hesitate at all. "Third sentinel, brethren! Dequeue! ”

With this order, dozens of soldiers rumbled out. "Undress! Carry the ladder! Offal! The officer yelled. After yelling, he took the lead in unbuttoning his shirt, took off his military uniform and threw it on the ground.

Yao Laosi didn't know that his actions had greatly changed the original deployment, and when he was discovered by the enemy, Yao Laosi immediately made a judgment in his heart, "Turning around and fleeing is death, and fighting bravely to meet is also death." Such a thought was just a matter of a moment, and then Yao Laosi immediately made a decision that was almost instinctive for a true soldier. Offensive!

As soon as this order was given, the members of the commando team did not pause at all. According to the tactics that had been practiced many times, the grenadiers had already pulled the fuse of the thunder flame bullet and threw the thunder flame bullet on the top of the city. The soldiers who were climbing the long ladder did not have to worry about making noise, and the climbing speed was more than doubled. It didn't take long for the assault team to rush to the top of the city.

In the dark of night, a series of explosions came from the wall of the West Gate, which surprised the nearby rebel officers and soldiers. Officers and soldiers climbed to the top of the city so quickly? At this moment, they all remembered Wang Jinlan's angry expression. If the news of being attacked by the official army on the city was known by Wang Jinlan, they would probably be worse off than dead, and almost everyone was frightened by their assumptions.

Yang Shengrui, the leader of the rebel army in charge of the defense of the west of the city, was under the city at this time, and he couldn't care so much about it in a hurry. Under the light of the torches, he casually grabbed a low-level leader beside him, and ordered in an anxious voice: "You hurry up and let the two teams of brothers who went to the west of the city rush back." The low-ranking leader immediately took the order.

Although Yang Shengrui is the son of Yang Changjun, the former general of the Zuo Ji Gao Chu Army, he is not good at military affairs, and at this time he just shouted to the soldiers around him: "Quick, you guys, rush up!" "Yang Shengrui's original intention was to let these soldiers rush over as soon as possible to eliminate the officers and soldiers at the head of the city. However, the desperate command had the opposite effect, and a dozen soldiers obeyed the order and rushed to the staircase leading to the city wall with torches. These soldiers didn't really want to face the officers and soldiers on the city wall, and they slowed down almost in unison at the entrance of the city staircase. These military operations in Pingsuri were all commanded by low-level leaders, and the leader who commanded this group of soldiers was just sent by Yang Shengrui to give orders. Who's on first and who's on last? These soldiers listened to the loud explosion of thunder and flame bombs on the city wall, and none of them would go up first. A group of soldiers stood here so stupidly.

A momentary pause on the battlefield can lead to great consequences, and the rebel soldiers only stopped for more than twenty seconds, and another group of officers and soldiers led by the officer rushed to the city ladder. Some of the soldiers who stopped at the entrance of the city staircase began to give way, while others were still stupid, and the thirty or forty men were huddled into a heap of immobile on the way to the wall where the battle was being fought at such a critical moment.

Yao Laosi climbed the long ladder with both hands and feet, and the long ladder made for the city wall of Changsha was relatively slender, and it shook very much as soon as he got on it. Climbing can only be carried out by one soldier at the same time. Yao Laosi squeezed through the soldiers in front of him to get the chance to climb. At this time, there were already four commandos on the city, and each commando carried eight thunder bombs. All you could hear was explosions on the city walls. The sound of rifle fire mixed with the sound of explosions was all coming from other places towards the breach at the head of the city.

At this time, Yao Laosi only felt that his heart was empty, and all kinds of distracting thoughts were thrown out of the clouds by him. If you can't climb the walls as fast as you can, it's useless to think about anything. According to the experience accumulated during training, Yao Laosi neither pursued faster, nor did he look for anything more stable, and climbed up the trembling ladder without pause. Whether it was the sound of gunfire and explosions at the head of the city or the panicked shouts of the rebels in the city, Yao Laosi could hear it clearly, but his heart was as calm as a pool of lake, and there was even a kind of detached silence.

The soldiers of the assault team saw their captain climb the long ladder as if flying, and reached the top in a blink of an eye with a free movement, and then Captain Yao Lao Si held down the battlement at the head of the city and jumped lightly onto the head of the city. It took only half the time of an ordinary soldier to climb the long ladder. The soldiers glanced at each other, and immediately someone climbed the ladder, imitating the appearance of Captain Yao Laosi, desperately climbing upward.

There were no lights on the city wall at the breach, and now there was a thick smoke of gunpowder. The unique pungent smell after the explosion of the Lei Yan bomb made Yao Laosi almost cough. The four soldiers who had already reached the city wall were each leaning against the wall with thunder bullets in their hands, and from the time they waited for the city, as long as the enemy shot at this side, they would return fire with thunder bullets. There was no enemy around, at least no enemy had the courage to shoot at these soldiers. However, the city was already brightly lit, Yao Laosi was lying on the inside of the city wall and looked down, and a bunch of rebels were crowded at the entrance of the city ladder not far away. "Follow me!" He shouted, and rushed over there first.

Once people huddle together in an orderly manner, it will be like a mess, and the more anxious they are, the more they will not be able to easily straighten it out. Some of the rebels at the entrance of the city ladder were in a hurry to get to the city, some wanted to sneak away, and some simply stood there and waited, hoping to get past without advancing or retreating. The chaos at the entrance of the city staircase took three minutes without order. In the fourth minute, several objects fell from the sky and slammed into the shoulders or heads of the rebels.

"Who's damn grandma's littering!" Some of the rebels who were smashed reacted quickly, and they couldn't help but raise their heads and curse to the city. Three seconds later, a series of explosions blew up more than 30 rebels at the entrance of the city ladder.

Since the reinforcements sent by Xu Guodong did not need to consider the problem of concealment, they crossed the moat in less than ten minutes, and after the long ladder was erected, the speed of climbing the city was far beyond Xu Guodong's imagination.

In the original plan, the battle on the west side of the city was a feint attack on the three gates. Try to attract the enemy's forces. After the blasting and breakthrough in the east of the city, the enemy in the west of the city had to move his forces to the east of the city. It was only at this time that the troops west of the city began to storm. Now the situation has changed to a sneak attack that the assault team has captured a small section of the city wall. Yao Laosi had already commanded the troops to spread out to both sides, and at the same time began to suppress the enemy in the city.

Until now, Xu Guodong has no other ideas. The current situation has reached a point where there is absolutely no going back. There is no alternative to imposing constant pressure on the enemy.

Under the city walls, which are more than two kilometers long to the west of the city, three troops are allocated, and there is no way to time the communication. As soon as the assault team started the battle, the other three troops began to attack according to the original plan. Soon the city was bursting with gunfire.

The troops in the west of the city were equipped with some "unconscionable cannons", and with a dull sound, a thick smoke mixed with sparks erupted from the muzzles, and explosives were sprayed onto the walls of the city walls. Moments later, a dull explosion could be heard near the point of impact.

This kind of explosive packaging is much more powerful than Lei Yan bombs, and it is much more powerful. In the light of the explosion, Xu Guodong could even see from a distance that there were rebel soldiers at the head of the city who were lifted into the air by the air waves, and they drew an arc and fell directly into the moat outside the city. More than a dozen of these explosives were fired at the head of the city, and the rebel firepower that had been fired at the head of the city was immediately dumb. Immediately there was a burst of cheers from the attacking team under the city.

Almost at the same time, the three forces that attacked the three gates of the West City sent out assault teams. The team members wore only single clothes, carried rifles wrapped in oilcloth and thunder bullets, and carried a long ladder into the water. This was not because the troops deliberately disobeyed military orders, and the officers and men of this army who had participated in the pacification of the rebellion in Western Xinjiang had not learned too many tactics, and seeing that the enemy at the head of the city had lost resistance, some officers and soldiers began to fight almost instinctively in their previous combat habits.

A bag of explosives exploded on the top of the city, and because of the distance between the moat and the distance, the officers and soldiers under the city did not feel the shock wave. But the commandos who had already stormed the city were affected by the shock wave, and everyone felt their ears ringing and their chests tight. Some have even vomited out. Yao Laosi's chest was also uncomfortable, he couldn't hold back the feeling of wanting to vomit, and shouted to the support troops who had already gone to the city: "Wang Boss, you take your people to guard here." Commando, follow me down to town. ”

Since they did not expect to be able to rush to the top of the city so smoothly, the troops had no plan to support each other at all, let alone a predetermined signal contact method, and now they could be accidentally injured by friendly artillery if they expand to both sides. Yao Laosi didn't think it was a good idea to hold on to this section of the city now. When he was studying at the Shipmaster and Sailor School, Lin Yiqing once said, "In the face of the enemy who is already in a state of chaos, we must resolutely carry out in-depth strikes." At this time, even a small army can play a great role. If you just stick to the positions you have already captured, you just give the enemy time to adjust to the battle. When the next attack begins, your troops will suffer great losses. ”

The enemy under the city was completely disorganized, first Yao Laosi went to the head of the city, and then the three city gates were attacked at the same time, including artillery. Looking down from the battlements, the rebels under the city are either stuck in place or have begun to scurry around.

"Officers and soldiers are entering the city!" Hysterical shouts rang out.

"Mr. Wang, give us half of your thunder flames." Yao Laosi shouted again.

The three sentinels were stunned, the thunder bullet is a sharp weapon in close combat field combat, and if Yao Laosi was given, the three sentinels couldn't believe that they could hold such a long city wall.

Seeing that the three sentinels hesitated, Yao Laosi scolded at the beginning: "You're afraid of a fart!" As long as you don't rush down, the remaining half of the Thunder Flame Bullet will have no problem holding this city ladder. Can the enemies on the walls still hold on? Our troops will be able to rush up in no time. As he spoke, Yao Laosi had already begun to pull the thunder bullet from the waist of the third sentinel.

The three sentinels had no choice but to order the troops to hand over half of the thunder flame shells to the commandos.

"Brothers, follow me. The target is the house ahead! Yao Laosi stood at the battlement by the city ladder, and pointed straight to a courtyard in the distance with his arm. He didn't know where it was, but Yao Laosi noticed that most of the enemy's troops were coming here from that direction. At this time, relying on rational analysis was completely ineffective, and the soldiers' instinctive instincts on the battlefield made Yao Laosi give a combat order.

"Yes!" The commando soldiers answered.

Then, everyone followed behind Yao Laosi and rushed down the city ladder. The thick smell of blood became heavier and heavier, and the entrance of the city ladder was full of rebel corpses, all of whom were killed by a thunder bomb led by the commando team led by Fang Cai Yao Laosi. Stepping on the slippery blood, the commandos entered Changsha City.

Unbeknownst to Yao Laosi and the assault team, the target of their attack was the headquarters of the rebels defending the west of the city. There were ten times as many rebel soldiers there as themselves. Of course, even if they knew, Yao Laosi would not change his orders. That's what really counts. Towards the chaotic enemy, the assault team stormed up.

Seeing a group of men in different uniforms rushing up from the city, the rebel soldiers panicked for a while, and then, under the hysterical scolding of the leaders, the rebels organized a round of fire at the commandos. Four or five officers and soldiers were shot, and three of them were instantly knocked to the ground.

"Bomb dropping!" Yao Laosi ordered loudly. As he shouted, he pulled out a thunder flame bomb, pulled the fuse and threw it into the figure opposite.

The rebel soldiers did not expect that not only did they not make the other party back down in the slightest by this round of shooting, but on the contrary, the group of people on the opposite side stood almost arrogantly in front of the muzzle of their rifles and threw a lot of black things at them.

The rebel soldiers immediately subconsciously fired a second round of fire. Before they could observe the results of the battle, a violent explosion exploded in front of and behind the rebels' ranks. The queue that had been formed with great difficulty collapsed in an instant. Under the attack of three rounds of thunder shells, the core force of the rebels completely collapsed. The remaining soldiers dragged their guns, or simply threw them away, screaming and wailing.

Almost at the same time, the simultaneous attacks of the official army at the three gates west of the city had been successful, and the vanguard had already stormed the city walls. Follow-up troops are also rapidly following up. (To be continued.) )
