Taiyuan City, Liu Xing rose from here a few months ago. On this day, it is destined to make Wang Mingde famous here.

Taiyuan City carries too many historical memories and war-torn past. This day is destined to become a new baptism of this ancient city.

For a few months, Wang Yu and Zhang Xiaochun were alone in this lonely city, but it took Jin Bing a whole year to break through this land of Longxing of the Li Tang Dynasty.

In a few months, Wang Mingde blew open the city gate of Taiyuan with just a few rounds of shelling, which was destined to create the first and fastest siege battle in thousands of years since the Yanhuang War against Chiyou......

After speaking to Zhang Xian, without waiting for him to react, Wang Mingde quickly turned around and shouted to several generals behind him: "Brothers, go to the city!" Use the firearms in your hands to kill and maim all the golden dogs you have seen, and let's go! ”

"Thousands of miles of rapid marching and transshipment also dare to fight!"

In the throats of the 2,000 transport soldiers, after Wang Mingde's shout, they issued a slogan belonging to a transport army that has been doing logistics affairs for a long time and has never been regarded as a soldier by the officers and men of the main battle army.

Before the slogan fell, the four commanders of the transfer operation, under the leadership of the two chief officers of the transfer department, advanced towards Taiyuan City in a neat line, while loading the guns in their hands with bullets......

On the hillside not far behind, Zhang Suoyi saw that Wang Mingde didn't let his son take the lead, and immediately looked back at Zong Ze in confusion.

"Zong Shuai, what is that kid doing? actually let the transport soldiers take the lead, and let Xian'er and Ying'er be the rear army. Zhang's gaze was a little wandering. When he spoke, he said with a question mark on his face: "This transshipment is a baggage soldier specializing in escort and transshipment, can it be used as a vanguard army?" Is that kid too childish and arrogant? ”

Without answering Zhang Suo's question, Zong Ze just stared at the transporters who were walking towards Taiyuan City.

What Zhang saw. Immediately, his face changed, and he said in a deep voice: "Zong Shuai, if that kid is greedy for merit and fights hard, you and I will be said by Liu Xing to be ineffective when we return to Wutai City!" ”

Hearing his words, Zong Zecai looked sideways at him, pointed at those transporters and said, "Don't worry so much, take a closer look yourself." Your Xian'er only has a thousand pot-bellied firearms at his disposal, but those transporters have one shot per man. Take a look at it again. Those transporters all had a wooden box hanging from their waists, and it was not known what new firearms Liu Xing had used for these transporters. ”

Halfway through his words, Zong Ze refocused his gaze on the transporters in the distance and continued: "Look at the two thousand soldiers again. Although he was a transport soldier, he was trained by Wang Mingde's boy to be no weaker than the soldiers under us, but on the contrary, he marched in line and looked more neat. From this point alone, I don't think that kid Wang Mingde is arrogant and greedy. ”

Hearing Zong Ze say this, Zhang Suocai moved his gaze back to the soldiers who were advancing in an orderly manner towards the city gate.

It doesn't matter if you look at it, when Zhang Suo looks at the soldiers in the corridor. He couldn't help but cry out, "So, what are the soldiers who are walking in the front holding in their hands?" Are those hundreds of people going to use bamboo poles to build bridges and cross the moat? ”

He nodded slightly. Zong Ze said: "It seems that Liu Xing is not just arrogant, arrogant people must have something extraordinary." This is just a Confucian student he has trained, if Yue Fei and Yang Yi come to attack this city, I am afraid that there is no need to rob it, and the credit of you and me will definitely not be able to compare......"

Grabbing the merits of the war, in fact, Wang Mingde did not have such an idea at this time.

The city of Taiyuan is in the hearts of Liu Xing, Zeng Weijie and others, and he knows very well what kind of status it is.

In his spare time, Wang Mingde heard Liu Xingnian muttering the sentence between chess games countless times: recover Taiyuan. Avenging the king is also a declaration to the world that our new court has recovered the entire Hedong.

So at this time, Wang Mingde didn't have as many distractions in his heart as Zhang Suo, and there was only one thought in Wang Mingde's heart: to take Taiyuan City. Let a big stone blocked in Taifu's heart be removed. Taifu is happy, and the brothers are naturally happy......

It was this thought that drove Wang Mingde to personally follow the rear of the brigade and lead the troops all the way to the city gate and the moat.

Zhang's guess was not wrong, as soon as these transporters walked to the edge of the moat, the five hundred people in front immediately hooked up the bamboo poles in their hands with each other, and turned them into a hundred long bamboo poles that were enough to cross the moat.

When someone in the city found that Wang Mingde had led the troops to the city and was starting to cross the river. "Boom, boom, boom" ground artillery rang out again, and twelve shells whistled in the air and smashed directly into the city.

Infantry and artillery coordination, this is the first lesson that Liu Xing personally taught them at the beginning of the opening of the artillery department of the second phase of the military preparation school. For these artillery soldiers of the Shenwu Battalion, this method of warfare will not deviate even by one ten-thousandth at all. So as soon as they opened fire, Wang Mingde immediately shouted, and with two thousand transport soldiers, he crossed the bamboo pole and rushed into Taiyuan City.

As soon as they rushed into the city, the transporters received Wang Mingde's previous order, and after the first salvo of firecrackers sounded, the seven or eight hundred wounded soldiers of the Jin army in the east gate were killed in the streets and alleys by more than 500 transporters from the advanced city.

Seeing this situation, Wang Mingde remembered Liu Xing's words: Jin Gou wants me to wait for the Han people to be their slaves, wow, in the future, the master will let them be cows, horses, and slaves for the master. Kill the enemy in battle, but you should also catch more golden dogs to be 'cross slaves'......

Cross slave, after Wang Mingde remembered this, he immediately shouted loudly: "Don't kill those who surrender, get more 'cross slaves' for Taifu." ”

The transporters who had just hit a large area with a volley of firearms and were at the forefront heard this shout, and immediately understood Wang Mingde's intentions.

"Those who surrender will not die, and those who resist will not be killed!"

Hundreds of voices rang out in unison at the same time, and the tiles on the houses on both sides of the street trembled and made a loud noise.

The hundreds of wounded soldiers of the Jin Army, not far from the 500 vanguard troops, were shocked by this neat shout, and immediately threw away their weapons and fell to the ground with their heads in their hands......

"Be careful."

Seeing his soldiers begin to catch prisoners like pigs on the streets and alleys, Wang Mingde smiled happily, and suddenly an exclamation came from behind him.

"Bang, bang."

Wang Mingde turned around to look, and two clangs rang out. After the sound of the gun, a junior colonel of the Jin Army, who was holding a war knife and had rushed to Wang Mingde's approach, actually threw away the knife softly and threw himself into Wang Mingde's arms.

It turned out that there was an enemy who saw who was the leader of these Song troops and wanted to sneak attack.

Knowing what was happening, Wang Mingde glared at Colonel Jin Bing in his arms with angry eyes, and scolded loudly: "I greeted the women of your family, and you actually dared to come and attack me!" Give me death, death! ”

"Poof, poof......"

The muffled sound of the sharp knife entering the flesh came from Wang Mingde's scolding.

The soldiers around looked at it, and they all smiled knowingly: because what they saw was that Wang Mingde took out the dagger at his waist and stabbed it in the chest of the golden soldier who had lost his breath.

"All envoys, the person is dead, don't pierce it again." A military envoy who was following Wang Mingde saw Wang Mingde playing with a dead man's bayonet, and hurriedly stepped forward to grab Wang Mingde, who was going to continue to stab.

Hearing this, he glanced sideways at the military envoy, and Wang Mingde said angrily: "I'm going to sleep with the women of his family, grandpa's, he actually dares to come and attack me!" ”

"Kill, drive those Song dogs out!"

Wang Mingde's words had just fallen, and suddenly there was a shout of killing from the street not far away, to the west.

Dingshen turned his head, and when Wang Mingde turned his head to look, he saw about a few thousand golden soldiers rushing towards this side with weapons and fierce spirits.

A sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, Wang Mingde was not shocked or confused, and shouted: "Line up, meet the enemy, and let these golden dogs try the power of our army's guns." ”

This is one of the several new weapons developed by Liu Xing after he was busy helping Zhao Zhen to be the puppet emperor in Wutai Mountain, and constantly sending drawings to Yelu Bashen and teaching him new weapons.

Unlike the pot-bellied gun, this handlebar is only seven and a half inches long, and although it is also a breech load, it has a range of only thirty or forty paces.

But compared with the pot-bellied gun, the hand-held gun has two advantages. One is that it is easy to carry around, and the other is that this handle is a two-barrel gun that can fire two projectiles in a row.

One inch long, one inch strong, one inch short, one inch dangerous. The transporter who saved Wang Mingde's life, seeing that the enemy soldiers were sneaking up and didn't have time to step forward, hurriedly pulled out the handle gun that Zhang was suspicious of before and hung in the wooden box on his waist, and killed the Jin Bing colonel who wanted to play Wang Mingde.

This time, as soon as Wang Mingde's order came out, hundreds of transporters quickly rushed in front of Wang Mingde and quickly listed five rows of formations. After the formation was completed in an instant, the transporters collectively took out the handles on their waists and aimed them at the thousands of golden soldiers who were rushing over a hundred paces away.

Those Jin soldiers didn't know what the Song soldiers were holding in their hands, and thought they were just things similar to short crossbows.

The golden general in the lead, as soon as he saw the transporter raise his hand, shouted in a scolding voice: "The shield bearer goes first, and the crossbowman is ready." ”

A hundred steps away, the shouts of the enemy generals were heard by Wang Mingde.

Smiling coldly, Wang Mingde roared softly in a deep voice: "Let those golden dogs come close to fight!" ”

In fact, when he roared this, both Wang Mingde and the transporters in front of him knew very well in their hearts that it was completely impossible for the handle in his hand to get a sandbag at a distance of 100 steps.

But all the soldiers knew very well why Wang Mingde deliberately said such a thing, that is, to deliberately paralyze the enemy, so that the enemy would rush more frantically to the range of the handlebars and then bombard them...... (To be continued......)
