Chapter 402 Capture Pingzhou
The waning moon is like a hook!
A crescent moon rose into the sky, but was shrouded in dark clouds, and the earth was dark.
In front of the beachhead, everything was quiet. The Yingzhou Army only lit a few torches, and could only vaguely see things not far ahead.
Outside the beachhead, there was silence, but if you looked carefully, you could see something lying on the ground and crawling forward.
Nearly!
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?Closer!
When about fifty meters away from the beachhead, a loud shout suddenly came out.
"Kill!"
The next moment, countless figures climbed up from the ground and launched a violent charge towards the beach position.
After a while, thousands of people climbed over the stone wall and entered the beach position.
"Why is there no one?" A primary school student shouted in surprise.
"Hoo!"
The next moment, countless torches lit up all around, and the flames shot into the sky.
"put!"
¡°Bang bang!¡±
Hundreds of muskets fired continuously at the Pingzhou Army surrounded in the center.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
Countless grenades fell on the Pingzhou army, and huge explosions came and went.
Outside the stone wall, Gao He, who was organizing follow-up troops to prepare for the charge, was shocked. He did not expect that the Yingzhou Army had long been prepared for the night attack, and his first wave of attacking troops had already fallen into a tight siege.
Gao He became anxious at that time and immediately ordered the following soldiers to charge forward.
"Ta-ta-ta-ta"
"Whizzing¡¡"
The next moment, the crossfire consisting of two light machine guns continued to fire forward, knocking the Pingzhou troops to the ground one by one, unable to get close to the stone wall.
"General, we can't fight anymore, retreat quickly!" a small colonel behind him shouted.
"Withdraw!"
By now, Gao He also realized that he had fallen into the trap of the Yingzhou Army, and in terms of weapons, the gap between his own army and the Yingzhou Army was too great to compete head-on.
At that moment, Gao He made a decisive decision and ordered the entire army to retreat.
After retreating for more than ten miles, Gao He heard that the pursuers behind him were being pulled further away, and then he said: "For the current plan, we must return to Pingzhou and rely on Pingzhou City to hold on. The situation may turn around." .¡±
"Report!"
"General, Pingzhou has fallen!" Before Gao He could finish his words, soldiers came to report.
"What?"
Gao He felt his head explode. The fall of Pingzhou City meant that Gao He had lost his last support.
Without the city, the foundation has been lost, and Pingzhou is surrounded by ridiculing people, so even if it is a guerrilla war, there is no room for maneuver.
More importantly, Gao He knew Zhao Wang Li Fu. He had lost Pingzhou. If he went to see Li Fu, Li Fu would definitely not be able to spare him.
"Kill! Capture Gao He alive!"
Behind him, the thunderous shouts of the Yingzhou Army rang out again.
Gao Heyi gritted his teeth and stamped his feet. Since Pingzhou was lost and he had nowhere to go, he surrendered the Yingzhou army.
Li Zhen is the prince. It is better to surrender to him than to those who ridicule you.
Thinking of this, Gao Heyi gritted his teeth and said: "The whole army puts down their weapons"
"General, we still have 7,000 troops in our hands. If we go all out, we may be able to recapture Pingzhou." A small colonel next to him said.
Gao He shook his head and said: "The people are innocent. If we continue to fight, the people will suffer losses. And with our current situation, we are surrounded by enemies on all sides. Sooner or later, if we continue to fight, we will fail. Let's surrender."
"Why¡¡"
Gao He couldn't help but sigh and ordered the entire army to lay down their weapons and surrender.
With the surrender of Gaohe, all the resistance forces in Pingzhou collapsed, and Pingzhou was completely captured by Xue Rengui and others.
Xue Rengui was sitting in the Governor's Mansion in Pingzhou City, with a look of pride on his face.
This time, Xue Rengui listened to Lou Shide's advice and sent the main force to ambush the Pingzhou Army who attacked at night on the beach fortifications. At the same time, Chen Xingwu led 3,000 navy officers and soldiers to the other side of Pingzhou, pretending to be Gao He and returning to the division. Raid Pingzhou City.
The defenders of Pingzhou City were originally preparing to meet the enemy, but they did not expect that a team of thousands of people suddenly came out of the city. They killed the officers and soldiers guarding the city, opened the city gate, and Chen Xingwu's soldiers occupied Pingzhou City without snow. Zhoucheng.
At the same time, Xue Rengui successfully ambushed Gao He, and finally forced Gao He toHe led seven thousand defeated troops to surrender.
At this time, Xue Rengui was sitting on the handsome chair in the Governor's Mansion. Gao He took off his shirt, knelt on the ground with his arms tied behind his back and said, "The sinner Gao He, pay homage to General Xue."
Xue Rengui laughed loudly, stepped down from the handsome chair, took out a knife and cut the rope that tied Gao He.
Xue Rengui said: "General Gao, as long as you know your mistakes and can correct them, I will take you to Yingzhou to see His Highness the Crown Prince."
"Thank you, General!" Gao He did not expect that he had brought so many casualties to the Yingzhou Army, and that Xue Rengui would treat him so kindly. He felt ashamed and lowered his head.
In the battle of Pingzhou, Xue Rengui was defeated first and then won. It only took one day to pacify the entire Pingzhou. This was inseparable from Xue Rengui's command and also related to Gao He's profound sense of justice.
In fact, Chen Xingwu only had 3,000 men in his sneak attack on Pingzhou. If Gaohe attacked with all his strength, he might have failed in the end, but the Yingzhou army would definitely suffer huge losses.
And Gao He's surrender not only reduced the losses of the Yingzhou Army, but also enabled Li Zhen to obtain 7,000 elite soldiers. Gao He's merits outweighed his faults.
And the reason why Xiao Caiwen was able to capture Pingzhou this time was because his thousand Xiao family soldiers suddenly attacked and opened the gate of Pingzhou City, so Chen Xingwu could succeed so easily.
The conquest of Pingzhou connected Yingzhou and Pingzhou, and more importantly, gave Li Zhen a foothold in the middle of Hebei Road.
Pingzhou is very close to Jizhou occupied by the Khitans and Youzhou occupied by the Xi people. By occupying Pingzhou, it can threaten Youzhou and Jizhou, the important areas of Hebei Province, and the products of Hebei Province can also enter Yingzhou more conveniently. , Therefore, the conquest of Pingzhou played a huge role in Li Zhen's management and expansion of strength.
Li Zhen met Gao He at the Prince's Mansion in Yingzhou.
From Xue Rengui¡¯s mouth, Li Zhen had learned how to conquer Pingzhou, and Li Zhen was very surprised.
There is a big gap between Gao He's Pingzhou Army and his Yingzhou Army in terms of weapons, equipment and personnel quality. However, he was able to win consecutively in the early stages of the battle. The fact that he defeated the Yingzhou Army in such a miserable state can only show that , Gao He is a rare general who can stand alone.
At that moment, Li Zhen helped Gao He who was kneeling on the ground and said, "If we can get General Gao's help, great things will happen!"
Hearing what Li Zhen said, Gao He shed tears of gratitude and said, "Gao He didn't know the current affairs and fought against the heavenly soldiers. Fortunately, Your Highness ignored the past grudges. Gao He is willing to die for Your Highness!"
Li Zhen laughed loudly and said: "Okay, General Gao's words are enough. I will still appoint General Gao as the governor of Pingzhou to take charge of Pingzhou's military and political affairs."
"What?" Everyone was stunned.
Gao He has just surrendered. If he is allowed to be the governor of Pingzhou, wouldn't it be a big trouble if Gao He turns against him? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
