As night fell, the central area of Guangfeng County was still as bright as day. The lights were bright. For many high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen, nightlife had just begun. Banquets, drinking, bribery, and a lot of other things were discussed at such banquets.
In stark contrast to this, the surrounding civilian areas had just darkened. Other than the wine pipes and the hotel's lights, the other places had long been dark.
On the main gate of the city wall, the five city guards who were supposed to be on duty on the city wall had set up a table on the city wall at this moment. They were drinking wine and playing cards with a relaxed expression. Looking at their fearless actions, it was probably not the first time they had done this!
However, they did not expect that there was already a group of soldiers lying in ambush outside the city wall, with their guns pointed at them. The soldiers, who were still enjoying the newly bought wine, suddenly heard a loud bang on the city wall. The wave of air directly made their faces dirty. Before they could figure out what was going on, another loud bang came from the city wall. At the same time, a series of gunshots sounded. Only then did they realize that someone was attacking the city!
"Hurry…Hurry up and hit the gong!"
After a moment of panic, the garrison soldiers remembered to inform others. They found a gong and struck it hard!
"Motherf * cker! If it wasn't for the fact that this city wall was too thick, I really wanted to blast it flat with a single shot!”
"Brothers! Continue firing!"
Zhang Dahai grumbled for a while and continued to command everyone to fire, trying to attract the other defenders to the city wall.
On the city wall, the reinforcements arrived very quickly. Another battalion of soldiers directly went up to the main gate.
"What happened? How many of them are there?"
The one leading this battalion was Marshal Ma's relative, Ma Shan. He only smoked cigarettes and played with women. He never cared about the affairs of the camp, although the other officers were the same! As soon as he finished speaking, a cannonball landed beside him. It was his adjutant who pressed him down and saved his life.
After the artillery fire passed, everyone quickly pulled him up. An officer who had gone to the city wall to investigate ran back and said in a panic.
"Battalion Commander, the enemy's artillery fire is too fierce. There are at least two battalions of soldiers! Moreover, there are cannons. Our brothers can't hold on any longer!”
"Two…two battalions?"
Ma Shan's fat face trembled. He couldn't defend against such cannon fire!
"Where are our machine guns? What? Suppress them with firepower!"
He said with all his might, his tone full of fear. He had become a battalion commander because of his relationship with Commander Ma. He had never fought in a war! Seeing this, his legs kept trembling!
"No, Battalion Commander! The enemy has a sharpshooter, and our Machine Gunners are all dead. No one can catch up!”
"That's right! Camp Leader, we can't hold on like this!”
The people who had been scared out of their wits by the bomb that exploded beside them trembled as they spoke. Their voices were filled with fear. They wanted more people to defend the city!
"Yes…Yes! Quickly get Second Battalion Commander Sun Cheng to bring…bring his Second Battalion up! Tell him that if he's late, I'll make my uncle kill him. Hurry up and go!”
Under the suggestion of his adjutants, he immediately went to invite another battalion commander who was guarding the city and told him to hurry up and defend the city. He himself led a group of adjutants who usually only knew how to eat and drink and quickly hid in a safe place. He was already scared out of his wits. He did not want to stay here for a moment longer. At the same time, he handed the command to a company commander under him!
On the other side, after receiving Ma Shan's request for help, Sun Cheng did not dare to delay any further. He immediately led two platoons to support Ma Shan, leaving one platoon to defend the remaining walls. After all, Ma Shan was Marshal Ma's relative and was extremely doted on. If anything happened to him, Marshal Ma would definitely not let him off. Sun Cheng did not think much and rushed to the main city gate! This was exactly what Su Zhenze wanted!
Wang Houzi, who had been paying attention to the guards here, immediately led a group of spies to the side gate when he saw that the guards had been transferred away. They approached the gate in the name of delivering wine. Because Wang Houzi was familiar with a company commander of the guards here, he had also delivered wine to the people here. The guards naturally did not suspect anything and let them go forward.
Meanwhile, Wang Wukong and the others took out their hidden weapons and took advantage of the time they were in a daze to finish them off and open the side city gate!
"Brothers! Charge!" The first company commander, Wang Yongxiang, saw that the city gate was wide open and immediately ordered everyone to attack the city gate. Because these defenders were few in number and had not been trained for many years, they were not their opponents at all. Soon, the side city gate was occupied.
"Old Li, let's split up. You go to the city to capture the members on the list, and I'll go to the main city gate according to the original plan. We'll work together with Third Company from the inside and outside to completely destroy the garrison in this city!”
After Wang Yongxiang and Li Ruilong cleaned the two side gates, Wang Yongxiang took the initiative to speak to Li Ruilong.
"Good! Then be careful, I won't let any of them escape!”
"Brothers, follow me!”
……
"Battalion Commander! The two side gates are gone ~"
The 2nd Battalion Commander Sun Cheng, who had just arrived at the main gate, was commanding the 1st and 2nd Battalions to defend when he suddenly heard a soldier running over.
"What did you say?"
Sun Cheng grabbed the soldier's collar and confirmed in disbelief.
"That's right! Battalion Commander, just as you left, someone attacked the city outside. Our brothers can't hold it!”
"Hurry…hurry back with me and take back the side gate!”
Sun Cheng let go of the soldier and immediately reacted. He had already fallen into a trap, but he still wanted to go back and take back the city gate as soon as possible.
"Brothers, charge!"
Not far away, there was a burst of killing cries and a huge explosion.
"Battalion Commander, bad news! A group of enemies is coming from the west. Their firepower is too strong. We can't hold them anymore! Also, they had disguised themselves as the western guards and blew up the city gate below!”
"Battalion Commander! The enemy is charging in from outside!"
"They even have machine guns! Our brothers can't hold on any longer!"
Sun Cheng heard all kinds of bad news. Every piece of news made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave. In the end, he fell to the ground with a thud.
"It's over! It's all over!"
He muttered. He had completely lost his usual demeanor as a deputy battalion commander. He stood there in a daze. The funny thing was that he did not know who the enemy was from the beginning to the end!
Soon, under the suppression of the machine guns of the 1st Company and 3rd Company of the Independent Battalion, the 1st and 2nd Battalions of the Defensive Battalion surrendered!
The defenders finally realized that they were fighting two battalions of their own, but there were only two companies, two reinforced companies of more than 200 people. This caused a commotion, but now that they had been disarmed, and looking at the excellent equipment in their hands, the moment they moved, someone would shoot a warning shot, and the crowd calmed down.
Li Ruilong, who was in the city to arrest those who had long been on the list, was also very successful.
"What happened? Why is it so noisy?"
Marshal Ma, who was woken up in his own house, asked impatiently. It seemed that he didn't know what was happening in the city!
"Master, something bad has happened. Someone is attacking the city and is about to break in!”
A butler rushed in and said nervously.
"What did you say? What were Ma Shan and Sun Cheng doing! Hurry up! Quickly send the message and tell the 3rd Battalion to return immediately! Hurry up and go!"
Commander Ma shouted in a panic. He immediately remembered that he still had an army that could solve the current emergency. He only hoped that Ma Shan and Sun Cheng could hold the city. At the very least, they had to wait until his 3rd Battalion arrived. Otherwise, everything would be over.
However, he waited anxiously for a long time without seeing any decrease in the gunshots. Instead, they were still approaching him from the center of the county. Suddenly, his heart turned cold. He knew that Guangfeng County might not be able to be defended anymore. He had to run quickly. The enemy had already arrived. If he didn't leave now, it would be too late!
"Marshal Ma, where are you going? My battalion commander has invited you as a guest, please don't make things difficult for me!”
He had just packed up the things that were easy to carry. He did not bring his wives and concubines with him. Just as he was about to sneak away, he heard a voice calling out to him. At the same time, the sound of a gun being loaded could be heard. He did not dare to move at all!
"Take him away!"
