Chapter 123 Act separately
At this time, Xie Jinyuan was completely convinced of the fighting ability of Li Chengqian and others. Without much nonsense, he led his men down the position and quickly assembled towards Zhonghua Gate.
Li Chengqian, Li Shimin and others had run out of bullets, but the Japanese who had already rushed to their front had to be dealt with.
As for the Japanese formation in the rear that had been disrupted by Hou Junji and his men, they didn't have to worry about it. It was just a matter of death!
Li Shimin drew his Tang sword and said, "Cheng Qian, you must not make any mistakes in this mission. You retreat first. I will lead my men to deal with these devils and then meet up with you."
Li Jing also drew his Tang sword and said, "Your Majesty, what you said makes sense. Your Highness, please withdraw quickly."
Li Chengqian nodded without any pretense and turned away.
He knew that Li Shimin and his men were bound to die in battle, but as long as he was still alive, the matter would not be over.
"Soldiers of the Great Tang Dynasty, follow me to kill the enemy, kill~~~"
"Kill, follow your majesty's footsteps, the Tang Dynasty will win!!"
"Kill~~~"
As the emperor, Li Shimin personally led the Tang soldiers into the enemy camp and directly ignited the Tang soldiers.
Hou Junji, Yuchi Gong and others in the rear were already at the end of their strength, but as Li Shimin personally joined the battle in the distance, they seemed to be activated again.
"Kill~~ His Majesty is watching us from the front. For His Majesty, for His Highness, kill~~~"
The Japanese were forced to retreat step by step after Hou Junji and others rose up again.
Even though they had an absolute advantage in numbers, when they thrust their bayonets, the other side would simply pause for a moment, then chopped with their sword, splitting the man and his gun in half.
Such terrifying combat power is like being possessed by a god or demon.
The Japs were afraid, hesitated, and retreated.
The Japanese commander in the rear couldn't bear to watch any more, so he ordered the machine guns to open fire, shooting and killing the Japanese who were still fighting with Hou Junji and his men! !
Da da da.....
Finally, Hou Junji and his men could not hold on any longer. They were beaten into pieces, and the Japanese soldiers who were entangled with them were also beaten into pieces.
Li Shimin, who was far away, killed three Japanese devils with one sword, then looked up and witnessed the deaths of Hou Junji and Yuchi Gong with his own eyes.
"Damn it! Kill them! Kill them for me~~~"
The Tang Dynasty soldiers showed their might and greatly restrained the pace of the Japanese attack.
This allowed Xie Jinyuan and his men to retreat smoothly into Zhonghua Gate.
Li Chengqian quickly followed up with his speed: "Close the city gate, quickly!"
With everyone's cooperation, the city gate was slowly closed.
"Use heavy objects to hold the city gates in place. The enemy's artillery attack is coming soon. Hurry!"
Xie Jinyuan quickly ordered the soldiers to dismantle the buildings in the city, move them to the city gate, and begin blocking the door.
Li Shimin, Li Jing and others are still fighting to buy time for Li Chengqian.
Time passed minute by minute, and ten minutes later, all the Tang Dynasty soldiers died in battle under Yuhua Terrace.
Because of their obstruction, the Japanese lost the best opportunity and the city gate was completely blocked.
But could the ancient city walls and gates withstand cannon bombardment?
Boom boom boom!
The city gate was shattered in an instant, but there were still countless stones, sandbags, construction waste and other heavy objects in the gate hole.
The city wall could not be breached quickly for a while, so the Japanese could only bring in more cannons and attack the city wall around Zhonghua Gate in turns.
Li Chengqian looked at the number of enemies killed in the void, which had reached 898.
It's still too slow. We must find a way to kill the Japanese on a large scale.
At the same time, Xie Jinyuan sent people to contact other defenders in the city for support.
But what he didn't know was that the national army in the city was in chaos, and no one would come to support their isolated army.
After giving the order, he came to Li Chengqian and was about to speak, but he saw the other party swing the Tang sword heavily, and then...
And then nothing happened, time and space froze.
When he came to his senses, Li Shimin, Li Jing and others who had just died in battle right before his nose miraculously appeared in front of him again.
“This, this, this…you guys!”
"Thank you, Captain. Now is not the time to be in a daze. Do you have a map of Jinling City..."
"Thank you, Captain!!"
Xie Jinyuan finally came to his senses: "You, who are you?"
Li Chengqian grabbed his shoulders and said, "Now is not the time to dwell on this matter. Time is urgent. We must send as many civilians in the city as possible away before the Japanese invaders enter the city. Otherwise, what awaits them is a massacre, a massacre by the Japanese invaders."
"Massacre..."
Xie Jinyuan finally reacted: "How dare the devils?"
Li Chengqian snorted coldly: "There is nothing they can't do. You have to face the reality. They are beasts, beasts without any humanity!!"
Boom boom boom! !
The sound of Japanese artillery fire was heard again.
"Thank you, Captain. If you have a map, bring it to me immediately. Time is urgent!"
Xie Jinyuan stopped talking nonsense and quickly asked someone to get the map.
Soon, a map of Jinling City was spread on the ground.
Li Shimin, Li Jing and others quickly surrounded them and began to note down the key locations on the map.
Physical fitness improvement is not just about strengthening the body, the brain is also comprehensively improved to a certain extent.
Especially in terms of memory, although it is impossible to remember everything at a glance, everyone's memory is unmatched by ordinary people, and it is still possible to remember some key locations and streets on the map.
Li Jing was in charge of several city gates facing the Yangtze River. This was everyone's retreat route, and he had to control these city gates.
Li Shimin was responsible for gathering and motivating the young and strong people in the city, and he had to take note of some places such as residential areas in the city.
Pei Xingjian was responsible for escorting the elderly, the weak, women and children, which overlapped with Li Shimin's tasks to a certain extent, but his tasks also included girls' schools, hospitals, and even brothels in the city.
There is no need to remember the three great fighters Hou Junji, Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong. They stayed behind to help guard Zhonghua Gate.
Xue Rengui had the most important task. He had to write down the entire map to facilitate the transmission of information among all parties when the time came.
Xie Jinyuan stood aside and watched several people talking and exchanging opinions with their heads down.
Boom boom boom!
Li Chengqian looked at the city gate that was shaking under the artillery fire and fell into deep thought.
"Old Hou, if we let the Japanese into the city gate, how confident are you that you can stop them from entering the city?"
After hearing Li Chengqian's plan, Li Jing walked over and looked towards the deep city gate.
"Your Highness, this is a brilliant idea. Instead of letting the Japanese break through the city wall and invade on a large scale, it is better to leave a gap and let the Japanese enter through the city gate. We can fight them hand-to-hand in the narrow city gate!!"
"This will not only give full play to our advantages, but also allow us to engage with the Japanese in a melee, making the Japanese's heavy firepower afraid to attack."
Li Chengqian nodded: "That's what I thought, but how to grasp the degree here is a problem..."
Then he looked at Hou Junji again: "Old Hou, do you have any ideas?"
Hou Junji was silent for a while and then said, "It's nothing more than showing weakness to the enemy, letting a group of devils into the city first, and then we suddenly attack and force them back to the city gate.
The Japs will surely organize a new attack after their defeat, and we can do it again, and so on, and we can at least hold them back for half an hour."
Li Chengqian nodded: "Let's do this. If the situation changes, you can act accordingly."
"I accept my order!!"
