Chapter 99 The Battle of Fuzhou (1)

Back to their respective camps, Chen Hui, the governor of Jianzhou, and Chen Hongjin, the former deputy commander of the Qingyuan Army, immediately organized a pre-war mobilization, and the style of their behavior was also revealed at the mobilization meeting.

After all the Jianzhou soldiers gathered, Chen Hui stepped forward to tidy up the soldiers in the first row, patted their shoulders, and sometimes chatted with them for a few words. Then he became solemn, climbed to the high platform in the middle of the camp and said loudly:

"Mr. Lin Fenglin talked to me that among the special forces in the Tang Dynasty, Chen Desheng is the most optimistic person, and among the five hundred elite soldiers in various places, he is also the most optimistic about our Jianzhou soldiers. Why? Because our Jianzhou army was the best, we easily took Quanzhou, and now we are one Fuzhou away. Today, we want to be the first to break through the city and let the Quanzhou soldiers learn hard."

The Jianzhou army cheered in unison, and each was eager to try.

Chen Hui walked off the stage, called deputy generals Chen Decheng and Zheng Yanhua over, whispered a few instructions, and the two nodded and left.

In the Dongdaying outside Haiyan Gate, Chen Hongjin called all the generals above the head of the head to the Central Army's tent, patted the case and shouted: "Until now, there are still people who are gossiping privately, saying that our Quanzhou soldiers were defeated by the Jianzhou army and were vulnerable. Tell me if this is the case."

"No." All these Quanzhou generals shouted out. Su Guanghai, the commander of the infantry commander, and Chen Wenshan, the deputy commander of the infantry commander, waved his sword and shouted the most fiercely.

"But in fact, each of us was defeated." Chen Hongjin's tone suddenly lowered and said in a deep voice. This sentence surprised all the generals in the tent, and the tent suddenly became quiet.

Chen Hongjin pointed to the south and lowered his voice and shouted: "Everyone has seen the result of the battle in Quanzhou. Lord Liu was forced to leave, Quanzhou City was broken through, the soldiers were appeased, and we, the defeated generals will be the most likely people to be cleaned after the war. We are all the same, forced to the edge of the cliff, either showing our abilities in Fuzhou City, or waiting in panic after the failure to face the disaster at any time."

Chen Hongjin's words woke up many Quanzhou military generals. Yes, other relevant people have been resettled. Even the people of Quanzhang have benefited from being exempted from rent for three years, and only their own people are in the most embarrassing situation.

Chen Hongjin continued to cheer up earnestly: "Say to everyone that I have not seen you for several years. Everyone is their own master and their destiny. How can there be so many good things to do? I actually want to create an opportunity for us to fight independently by fighting with Chen Hui. The current Fuzhou City is our only opportunity."

All the Quanzhou generals present turned their gratitude to Chen Hongjin.

"We have won all of Fuzhou City when it is broken, but we have lost all of us. In this battle, Chen will never take a step forward, Chen Wenshan." Chen Hongjin roared, pointing his right halberd with his right hand to his precious son.

"Yes." Chen Wenshan strode out, clenching his fists with both hands.

Chen Hong handed a thunderclap to Chen Wenshan and said sternly: "You bring a group of dead soldiers and the first group to attack the city. If necessary, you hold the thunderclap to blow up a way for everyone to come."

"Yes, my subordinates will definitely do it." A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Chen Wenshan's eyes, and he solemnly took over the thunder of the sky.

Making fire to make food, mobilizing troops, all the Tang army in Fuzhou's southern city and east city took action, and the soldiers guarding the city at Fuzhou also became nervous, running back and forth at the city wall to prepare for battle.

At three o'clock in the morning, the sound of attack drums sounded at the same time outside Ning Yuemen and Haiyanmen.

At the same time, the Jianzhou Army and Quanzhou Army all adopted an offensive strategy of comprehensive attack and key breakthroughs. Although the attack on Ningyue Gate in the south was exposed to the light that the suspension bridge had already dropped, Qian Hongyan, the governor of Zhangwu and Fuzhou Governor, personally took the Ningyue Gate and the defenders, and the Fuzhou Army and Quanzhou Army stood on the same starting line.

Qian Hongyan felt under great pressure at the beginning of the battle.

Now, there are only 10,000 defenders in the entire Fuzhou City. There are 2,000 reserve troops left in each key location in the city. A mere 8,000 people have to guard the city wall with a circumference of nearly forty miles. There are twenty gates, gates, water gates, and no one should be taken lightly. You must know that the opponent is Lin Feng, who has no trace of military use, and the Jianzhou Army and the generals in the Quanzhou Army who have experienced many battles. This battle is really something that ordinary people can fight.

Less than a quarter of an hour before the battle began, Qian Hongyan had to order people to raise a black double rabbit flag and requested the Fujian-Taiwan Reserve Army to allocate 500 soldiers to the city to support.

At this moment, three consecutive arrows shot into the sky one after another, and the attack rhythm on the east side of Ningyuemen immediately accelerated. Just when Qian Hongyan couldn't figure out the enemy's intentions, more than ten figures jumped out from the white tower on the top of Jiuxian Mountain on the left back of Ningyuemen, and rushed towards the cityside along the top line.

After a personal guard reminded him, Qian Hongyan discovered these figures and immediately shouted to the soldiers downstairs of the city gate: "There is an enemy raid in the direction of the White Tower, stop them for me."

The Fuzhou soldiers on the top of the city immediately divided a part of them and set up their formations on the inner side of the corresponding city wall on the top of the mountain, and they were about to shoot.

The more than ten figures suddenly separated two people from left to right, stopped, seemed to have ignited something, and threw it hard at the city wall.

"Boom", two loud bangs, one thunder exploded above the city, and the other fell into the soldiers, blowing away the soldiers who were just in the brunt of the attack.

"What kind of weapon is this?" Qian Hongyan, who was so scared that his face turned pale, rushed to the east side of the city gate tower and watched the explosion just now. He saw three or four soldiers lying in a pool of blood. The soldiers beside them were either frightened or lying on the ground in fear, trembling.

Qian Hongyan looked east and saw that the man in black who used wooden boards as shields had rushed to a distance of only a few steps from the city wall. He immediately shouted: "Hurry, hurry, stop them."

It's too late.

Chen Desheng, who was rushing in front of the head, rushed directly to the city wall with only one meter gap, jumped into the Fuzhou soldiers, and instantly forced a gap. Afterwards, Lin Renzhao, Feng Jingyun immediately followed up and formed a small three-person battle formation, which would quickly expand its foothold.

Just as the arrow was shot out, Chen Decheng and Zheng Yanhua outside the city led two teams of the most elite soldiers of the Jianzhou Ya Army to cross the suspension bridge and rushed through a ladder. When they reached halfway, the two asked the soldiers in front to cover it, took out a thunderclap, ignited it and threw it on the top of the city.

Just as the Fuzhou soldiers on the top of the city had not yet awakened from the explosion just now, there were two loud noises that devastated the sky, causing several Fuzhou soldiers outside the city wall to suffer. The city suddenly became a mess. Chen Decheng and Zheng Yanhua snatched the city heads and jumped into a panicked group of soldiers from the middle of the two pheasant letters.

A total of fourteen tigers attacked ragingly on this section of the city wall. Almost in the breath, a section of the city wall was cleared. Seeing the progress on the city head, several ladders all came outside this section of the city wall, and the soldiers rushed here desperately.

"Kill them all." Qian Hongyan jumped up in anger and pointed at the Tang soldiers not far from the city. He was anxious and squeezed out a few drops of white foam from the corner of his mouth, and he didn't bother to wipe it off. Then, as if he suddenly woke up, Qian Hongyan grabbed the clothes of a leader of the guard and roared: "You go too, you must knock these people down the city."

While Ning Yuemen made a breakthrough, Dongcheng's offense also made breakthrough progress. However, the place where they broke the situation was Water Gate in the northeast corner of Fuzhou.
