Warlords: Conquer the world from the county magistrate

The First Division fought fiercely at the North Gate, and the Second Division was not much less powerful at the East Gate.

A big hole was blasted in the left side of the city wall. When the soldiers of the 1st Regiment of the 2nd Division launched an attack on the city wall, some of them crossed the gap, entered the city wall and organized a defense line.

The group that crossed the defense line was the Second Battalion of the First Regiment of the Second Division. The battalion commander was named Liu Yong, who was the first member of the militia to defect to Fang Jian'an.

Later, he joined the new army training class and was promoted to battalion commander because of his bravery in combat.

After Zhang Sheng, the commander of the 1st Regiment of the 2nd Division, was transferred, Li Yueshan, the commander of the 1st Battalion, became the acting commander.

Li Yueshan was one of the three squad leaders after the initial disbandment and reorganization of the militia. Later, he joined the new army training class. Because of his quick mind and excellent grades in every assessment, he was promoted many times.

The commander guarding the east gate was about to lead all his men up the city wall, but a soldier came up and reported, "Commander, a section of the wall over there has collapsed."

"What?"

The captain was shocked. Even if he took all the men to the top of the city wall, it would be useless. If the enemy entered the city through the collapsed area, it would be the end of them.

"One battalion will go up to the city wall, and the rest of you will join me in defending the gap."

When the regiment commander arrived with his men, Liu Yong was leading his men to set up a defensive position. The regiment commander opened fire without hesitation and shouted, "Brothers, shoot."

"Da da da……"

"Crack, crack, crack..."

"Chichichi..."

Various gunshots rang out on this position, and the exchange of fire between the two sides was very fierce. Zhang Guilin's troops, relying on their large numbers and fearlessness, charged towards Liu Yong's battalion.

Liu Yong's troops were well-equipped, but the soldiers were all new recruits who had only been trained for more than three months. Although they killed many enemy troops, they also allowed the enemy to keep getting closer.

"Throw the grenade." After Liu Yong fired a burst of bullets from his submachine gun, he yelled at the soldiers around him.

The soldiers in the rear took out grenades and threw them at the enemy. Hundreds of grenades immediately killed one or two hundred people on the opposite side.

Seeing the good results, Liu Yong was overjoyed: "Keep throwing."

"Retreat." After three rounds of grenade attacks, the troops suffered more than three or four hundred casualties, and the regiment commander reluctantly led his troops to retreat.

Zhang Guilin's regiment has 2,000 people, including three battalions and 500 people directly under the regiment headquarters. This time, the regiment commander brought nearly 1,500 people.

Although Liu Yong's battalion had suffered casualties in the previous battle, there were still more than 700 people, with a full strength of 860.

After the exchange of fire and grenade attacks, less than a thousand of the 1,500 troops on the opposite side were left, and Liu Yong's troops also lost more than fifty people.

After the regiment commander led his men to retreat, he organized the soldiers to hide behind the bunkers and shoot, while asking the messenger: "Is the fighting on the city wall fierce?"

"Captain, the enemy tower on the city wall was blown down and the battalion commander was crushed to death." The messenger said with a sad face.

The regiment commander's head was buzzing. This battalion commander must be afraid of death. He hid in the enemy building to give orders, and then...

Thinking of this, the regiment commander said with an unpleasant expression: "Quick, go ask the division commander for help. If no reinforcements come, we won't be able to hold on."

After receiving the order, the messenger did not dare to delay and ran quickly towards the division headquarters.

Outside the city, Li Yueshan, acting commander of the First Regiment, observed the situation on the city wall and at the gap for a while, then said to the messenger beside him: "Let the First Battalion enter the city through the gap and open the city gate as quickly as possible."

Ten minutes after the messenger gave the order, a battalion of soldiers rushed to the broken part of the city wall.

As soldiers from the first battalion continued to enter the gap, Liu Yong's side gained the advantage. After communicating with the deputy battalion commander of the first battalion, the first and second battalions launched a charge against the enemy on the opposite side.

"Brothers, charge." Under Liu Yong's charge, the enemy on the opposite side was defeated.

Seeing his own soldiers falling one after another, the regiment commander had no choice but to grit his teeth and say, "Retreat."

He originally wanted to lead his soldiers to fight and retreat, looking for favorable terrain to continue to block the enemy, but as they continued to retreat, some people simply fled, taking many others with them.

"Brothers, if we retreat any further, Nanyun City will be captured by the enemy." Finally, the regiment commander gathered more than a hundred remaining soldiers to guard the intersection and engaged in a fierce battle with Liu Yong's troops.

None of the remaining more than 100 people surrendered or fled, and they were all shot dead. The regiment commander was also killed by several bullets.

Liu Yong looked at the regiment leader's body and said with emotion: "He was a real man."

The street intersection defended by the regiment commander was less than a hundred meters away from the city gate. After eliminating them, Liu Yong launched a charge from inside the city and quickly opened the city gate. As the city gate opened, the second regiment in the rear quickly rushed into the city.

In the north city, as Wang Tieniu bombed again, the soldiers of the first company of the first battalion defeated the enemy troops on the opposite street and made them unable to raise their heads.

Wang Ming, the commander of the second regiment in the rear, saw the city gate was opened and immediately ordered: "Everyone follow me into the city."

The soldiers of the Second Regiment entered the city in an orderly manner from the city gate. Some of them rushed into the enemy's position behind the street, and some of them rushed up the city wall and continued to exchange fire with the defenders on the wall.

"Let the first regiment enter the city as well." Seeing that the troops had already entered the city, Li Zhongwu gave an order to the messenger.

As a group of soldiers entered the city, the defenders behind the city wall were beaten back step by step.

At the division headquarters in Nanyun City, the messenger at the east gate entered the headquarters and said nervously, "Division, division commander, our regiment commander said, said, we can't hold on any longer, and asked you to send reinforcements."

"What? What happened? Tell me slowly." Zhang Guilin was so shocked that he stood up from his chair.

Zhu Yaoxiang standing by was also very surprised. The defense line was in danger so soon. Was Fang Jian's army so powerful?

After listening to the messenger's introduction, the two men realized that the enemy had blew down the city wall and attacked from the gap, no wonder they could not hold it.

Just as Zhu Yaoxiang was about to speak, another messenger came running in: "Commander, the north gate can no longer be defended, requesting reinforcements."

"Commander Zhang, quickly call back the troops from the South Gate and West Gate, and send troops to reinforce the North Gate and East Gate." Zhu Yaoxiang said anxiously.

Zhang Guilin did not dare to delay and immediately said, "Let the Fifth Regiment and my Guard Regiment reinforce the North Gate and East Gate respectively."

"Commander, the guard regiment has been sent out, and the people around you..." an officer next to him said worriedly.

Before the officer finished speaking, Zhang Guilin interrupted him: "Go quickly, and send a messenger to the South Gate and West Gate to call back the two regiments."

"Yes." Seeing that Zhang Guilin had made the decision, the officer replied and immediately went to do it.

At this time, the 2nd Regiment of the 2nd Division and the 1st Regiment of the 1st Division had entered the city and attacked the office in the center of the city.

The 2nd Regiment of the 2nd Division chased the defeated and encountered Zhang Guilin's Guard Regiment halfway, and the 1st Regiment of the 1st Division also encountered Zhang Guilin's 5th Regiment. After meeting, they did not say a word and directly exchanged fire.

The commander of the guard regiment and the commander of the fifth regiment led the defeated soldiers to go around to the rear, and then they saw the enemy troops entering the city from the opposite side, and their hearts sank. While they built positions and fought with Francis Xavier's troops in the streets of the city, they sent soldiers to report the news to the headquarters.

The Second Regiment of the Second Division had lost more than 500 people in the previous battle. In the firefight with Zhang Guilin's Guard Regiment, it had no numerical advantage and could only rely on its weapon advantage to shoot and kill the soldiers of the opposing Guard Regiment.

Although the 1st Regiment of the 1st Division had lost more than 300 people before, it still had more than 2,700 people. Facing the 2,000-man 5th Regiment, they relied on advanced weapons to defeat the 5th Regiment.

Although the soldiers of the Fifth Regiment are elite, they are not as good as the Guards Regiment.

As for the people in the city, when Franciscan troops arrived at the city, they all returned to their homes, closed the doors and windows, and dared not step out of the house.
