Chapter 946: The three cities are fighting one by one

The besieging celestial army broke through the outer city of the southern city, and immediately encountered the sub-city inside the south gate, and the guns, cannons, bows and arrows stretched out from three sides surrounded them, and immediately plunged them into unprecedented danger.

Chen Alin, the general of the Celestial Army, who led these Celestial Army warriors to attack the city, had rich combat experience, and when he saw this situation, he knew that he could not completely avoid casualties, so he could only avoid frontal blows and hide in the direction where the firepower was relatively weak.

"Get out of the way and occupy the two compartments!" Chen Alin only had time to shout.

However, with his voice, the guns and arrows in the front city and the two compartments were already pouring down like a shower!

Those young Celestial Army soldiers who heard the order but were still stunned were shot by arrows one after another and fell to the ground!

The soldiers, who had heard the order in time, reacted shrewdly, and acted immediately, reacted and moved to the flanks, but the enemy's fire was so wide that these men did not run a few steps, and were still within the range of the enemy's strike, and they were all knocked down.

Only the most experienced fighters, before Chen Alin gave the order, had already realized that something was wrong, made a preemptive reaction, and had already dodged and moved to the shooting dead ends on both sides.

And such a person is only a fifth of the heavenly army!

Chen Alin almost wiped out his vanguard troops entering the city when he saw the enemy's round of blows, and his eyes were red!

However, he immediately calmed down again, and at this time, if he was angry and made a mistake in his busyness, the remaining fifth of the game would be finished immediately!

At this time, the defenders in front were dealing with the Celestial Army coming from behind, giving these remnants a chance to breathe.

Under Chen Alin's command, they immediately turned their spearhead to both sides, intending to occupy these places first and seize a foothold for themselves.

The problem is that the hatchbacks are also guarded. And the firepower is not weak either!

The people who just shot the Celestial Army exposed in the open area in the center were these two-box guardians!

The attempts of these remnants of the Heavenly Army immediately detected them, and without saying a word, they immediately turned their fire on them!

Even those Heavenly Army warriors who are hiding in the dead corners are not completely guaranteed.

It turned out that the enemy on the opposite side just saw them clearly. And then a long-range strike was implemented!

Fortunately, the distance between the two boxes is relatively large, so that the heavenly army is not wiped out.

Thanks to the fact that these celestial armies are the elite of the elite, they are not only strong in martial arts, but also strong-willed, and they are not discouraged in extremely difficult situations, and continue to look for opportunities to capture important places.

At the same time, they are not only astute, but also very intelligent. Finally, he used a small detour method, went around to the enemy's flank, hit the enemy by surprise, and finally eliminated the enemy!

Chen Alin counted the last remaining warriors, and only fifty people survived!

Of the fifty, thirty more were wounded!

Only twenty people remained.

And when they came in, there were a thousand of them!

The Celestial Army occupied both compartments and paid a heavy price of 980 dead and wounded. The casualty rate is as high as 98 per cent.

Encountering such heavy casualties also greatly surprised Liu Lichuan, who was commanded by the former enemy!

Even the Shanghai Uprising did not have such severe casualties!

However, the two compartments were occupied. Having a foothold in the city keeps hope.

Liu Lichuan immediately sent four thousand elite soldiers into it, and launched an attack from both sides!

At the same time, the land and water armies of the Celestial Army also attacked from the east and west gates.

For the attack on the east gate, Peter sent a small fleet of sailors to drive through the moat on the east side of the city of Huai'an.

This moat is outside the Hao River that surrounds the city. In the old city, that is, dozens of steps southeast of the south city, it is generally called the moat embankment, and the history is called "the moat post".

This moat is called a moat because of the texture of its location and the high terrain of the route it travels through. After the construction of the embankment moat, it will be even higher.

In the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty, it was rebuilt many times to prevent the Huaihuang from overflowing, so it had a dual function - flood control in peacetime and defense against the enemy in wartime.

Because the moat post plays a protective role in Huaicheng, some people remember its historical achievements: "Ququ moat post, Huaihuang flood prevention, north and south, Jiege town Longguang."

Among them, "Jie Ge Town Longguang" refers to the Ming Dynasty Caofu Zhu Dadian built a defense facility "Longguang Pavilion" on the south gate moat.

Accompanying the sailor was Zhou Lichun, the general of the Eastern Corps, the former leader of the Little Knife Society, who now served as the deputy mayor and minister of agriculture of Shanghai Haisheng City, who won two cities in ten battles and ten victories, not only did not reduce the troops he led, but also increased by 10,000 people.

The east city gate is called "Zhan Dai", the defense is extremely tight, because this city gate has experienced the attack of the Japanese invaders many times, so after the completion, it has been strengthened many times, renovated, and even increased the defense facilities such as the arrow tower.

As soon as Zhou Lichun came up, he gave full play to the advantages of many people and tried to win with more!

In the first wave of siege, he sent 10,000 men!

In addition to the regular warships of the Celestial Army, the Naval Division also brought two treaties to take big fish, and fully assisted the Celestial Army in attacking the city from the beginning.

In the process of gunfire, the two treaties took the big fish and worked hard to connect the moat with the moat river in the inner circle.

Then all the battleships entered the trench and approached the city walls to open fire.

At the same time, the two big fish did not sit idle, but continued to pound the city gates.

After more than a dozen hits, the gate collapsed!

After falling, Jonah continued to open up land and water, and rushed straight into the city.

Behind Jonah, followed by the ships of the sailors, also entered the city.

Almost at the same time, Zhou Lichun's siege of the city also paid off, and he finally climbed the city wall and killed more than a thousand defenders at the head of the city!

And the cost of the Heavenly Army's landing on the city turned out to be 5,000 people.

The enemies who defended the city were slain by the comrades-in-arms of those who had landed in the city and died.

At this time, Zhou Lichun had already received a warning from Liu Lichuan, saying that there was a sub-city inside the south gate, which would bring huge losses to the heavenly army, and beware that there was also such a thing at the east gate.

Therefore, Zhou Lichun issued a special order, after occupying the city gate, stop pursuing the enemy and stay put. Wait for orders.

Zhou Lichun then climbed the city tower and looked to the west, and sure enough, there was a high wall standing there, and there was no doubt that it was another sub-city.

Next, Zhang Yuan read out a decision of the Heavenly Army: the establishment of the Funiu Mountain Field Army!

The commander is Liu Dawei!

There are 500,000 people in the whole legion!

Thereinto. 250,000 men were drawn from various places.

The other twenty-five were bandits from Funiu Mountain.

As for Tutanan, his officers and soldiers were not qualified, and they were left to guard the headquarters of Funiu Mountain.

The other 500,000 people, since they are field legions, go out to fight in all directions!

"Liu Dawei!

I thought it was not particularly tall, but the absolutely majestic general ran up to the rostrum, stood up to Zhang Yuan and Mai Ke, and saluted "snapped": "Report." Liu Dawei came to listen to the order, please instruct!"

Mai Ke returned the salute, then handed him a letter of appointment, and said, "Brother Dawei! These 500,000 brothers will be handed over to you! I hope that you will be invincible and for the glory of God." ”

Liu Dawei took the appointment and responded loudly: "Dawei will definitely live up to his trust in me, in order to glorify God!"

"Okay, I now announce the order to go out, and the army can set out on a day. Soldiers are divided into three ways!

"All the way to the east, led by Li Kaifang. An army of 100,000!

"All the way to the west, led by Cheng Tunjin, occupy the entire Qinling Mountains! The strength of this army is 150,000.

"All the way to the north, led by Wang Quanzhou, crossed the Huanghe River and pounced into Zhongtiao Mountain. Expand the northern boundary of Funiu Mountain to the northern part of Zhongtiao Mountain! The number of troops along the way is also 150,000. ”

The best defense is offense, and Mai Ke knows this.

Mai Ke knew how this Funiu Mountain came into the hands of Heaven and the Manchu power around it. Once he learned that Tian Jun was in this building, he would inevitably come to the court.

The Heavenly Army wants to get the kind of treatment that the Bull Demon King has, and the river water does not interfere with the well water, so it is basically impossible.

Mai Ke's strategy is, I don't wait for you to come, I want to go to you!

He gave the two armies of the North Road and the West Road the task of opening up these two mountain ranges, allowing them to gain a firm foothold there, and dedicating them to the surrounding Manchu forces to bring huge pressure, and then judge the situation and take the surrounding territory.

Because they are deep behind enemy lines, they also pay special attention to close cooperation with the Celestial Forces coming from other directions.

Liu Dawei accepted the task and turned to leave.

The military band and the military pastoral group began to sing "The Rise of Elite Soldiers".

This was followed by another song "War of the Ages".

In the singing of hymns, Liu Dawei quickly divided the 500,000-strong army into three legions, and this celebration was also their oath meeting.

The last program of the conference was a solo singing by the Lord of Tiange.

Her incomparable demeanor with which she sings over the army once again captivated all the listeners.

She sang a song called "Amazing Grace."

Mai Ke, as always, was moved by this hymn.

Suddenly, he felt that he had to preach the gospel to all the listeners present, especially the soldiers who were about to go on the expedition.

Before they go to the future battlefield of life and death, they should receive this amazing grace, with the grace of God, and the love of God cannot be separated by life and death, they can go forward boldly without fear.

"Friends, what is amazing grace?

"Amazing grace is the forgiveness of sins.

"What sin?

"It is a sin against the Creator.

What are the consequences of such sin?

"It is to leave God, to suffer all your life, and to go to hell after death.

In other words, the price of sin is death.

How does God forgive our sins?

"God sent His only begotten Son, Jesus, to the world in the flesh to die in our place on the cross. He bore the punishment for us because of the sins.

This was done about 2,000 years ago by our Savior, Jesus. The death of the Lord Jesus on the Cross to atone for the sins of those He wanted to save is the basis for the salvation of a person who is saved.

Without this work done as a basis, salvation is empty talk.

Then God gave us His promise.

This promise is to believe in Jesus and live with it.

Combine these two things, and there is personal salvation.

After the ascension of the Lord Jesus, the Holy Spirit was sent down to work on those whom God wanted to save, that is, to illuminate their hearts with the Holy Spirit, so as to open their spiritual eyes, so that their gospel would be the power of God and the faithful promise of God. ”.
