"He is comparing himself to Zhuge Liang, and Lao Tzu is not Sima Yi!" Lei Hu put down the binoculars and said viciously.

Such a fierce attitude is rare for Lei Hu, this soldier who has always been favored does not read much, and his ordinary demeanor can even be called a little elegant. One of the reasons why he was so annoyed was that this "empty city plan" really scared Lei Hu. A weak chicken Huaijun actually put on such a strong man's style, there must be a conspiracy in it. Where is the city gate ambushed a large number of Huai troops? Buried explosives low? That's a great idea. After luring in a part of the Guangfu army, blast the city gate, block the passage for the Guangfu army to enter, and at the same time really hit the morale of the Guangfu army.

Forcibly taking his eyes off the city gate, Lei Hu shouted: "Attack the city according to the original plan!" ”

The chief of staff was stunned for a moment, leaving the open city gate alone, but taking the way of attacking the city wall, which didn't feel right.

Lei Hu said angrily: "When the means of war have been determined, what you want is firmness!" Firmness! Did Jiang Zhongyuan open the city gate and let us waver? If he throws a gold ingot, should we go and pick it up first? ”

This parable is not very friendly, but the meaning is clear. The chief of staff then conveyed the order, "Start the attack according to the original plan, and leave the city gates alone." Be careful when approaching for an ambush on the side of the gate. ”

The rumbling of artillery, especially the 36-pounder cannon, made the mountain shake every time it was fired. Lei Hu is not a person who has never seen a big battle, but every time this giant cannon roars, he feels uncomfortable. In the past, when the artillery shells of the Liberation Army hit the city wall, there would be pieces of movement on the city wall. The shells of the 36-pounder siege cannon smashed into the city walls, and Lei Hu felt that something was drilling into the walls. In fact, when the two cannons went down, a large pit was recessed in the city wall. This kind of rammed earth inner core, large green bricks, glutinous rice juice mixed with ash liquid wall is extremely strong, Lei Hu this is the first time to see a cannon can destroy a city wall.

The bricks had been smashed by the shells, revealing the yellow rammed earth core inside. The shells were more efficient this time, and the whole wall was visibly trembling when the cannon went up. Other cannons were firing at this time, and the other cannonballs hit the walls like tickles compared to the damage done by this heavy cannon.

The 36-pounder cannon hit the tenth shot, and the city wall that was the target of the fire finally collapsed, and the loess and dust rose into the sky, so that everyone could not see what had become of it. There was a temporary silence on the battlefield, and the other gun emplacements stopped firing. Everyone craned their necks to look at the crumbling walls, trying to see through the thick smoke and dust to see what was happening.

It took a long time for the smoke and dust to clear, and the tragic condition of that section of the city wall was finally seen by everyone. The watchtowers at both ends of this section of the city wall have fallen crookedly under the violent vibration, and the middle part has completely become a slope mixed with scattered bricks and loess, and on both sides of the slope are broken walls like dogs gnawing. An extremely favorable offensive gap was finally opened.

Lei Hu showed a smile on his face, this is the cannonism of the Liberation Army, no matter how many changes you make, Lao Tzu is the first blow! As long as the enemy has not trained to become a golden body that cannot be damaged by artillery fire, let them turn into powder under artillery fire! Regarding the cannonism of the Liberation Army, Lei Hu also privately asked Wei Ze why he did not hesitate to make such a cannon. Wei Ze's answer was very simple, "In the future, we will have a brutal war with the world's leading powers, and if you think that this is already terrible firepower, then I will sue you, you are wrong." Compared with future wars, this is a gentle drizzle. ”

Regardless of whether this is a gentle drizzle or not, the decaying Manchu Qing will completely collapse when it is blown by the gentle wind and drizzle, which is enough for the current Thunder Tiger.

In the city, Jiang Zhongyuan's face turned pale as he looked at the collapsing city wall in the distance. The Liberation Army has always been able to bring something new to Jiang Zhongyuan, and this time is no exception. Two days ago, when he saw the "Song of Righteousness" shot in by the Guangfu Army, his first feeling was naturally that he had been greatly humiliated. Wen Tianxiang is a minister who has lost the country, and he can only use "Song of Righteousness" to express his pursuit and desire for justice. This kind of justice is the justice of the Han family, and what is sung in the poem is the iron backbone of the Han family. If Wen Tianxiang was alive, he would not be able to look down on people like Jiang Zhongyuan who worked for other races.

This perception inspired Jiang Zhongyuan's arrogance, and Jiang Zhongyuan secretly sent people to Xuzhou every once in a while to buy newspapers for the Liberation Party. This was the only way he had access to outside information. So he knew what happened before the Sichuan governor Luo Bingzhang committed suicide, and heard that this old-timer wrote the words "with a clear conscience", and then calmly committed suicide. The newspapers of the Liberation Party ridiculed Luo Bingzhang completely. But Jiang Zhongyuan agrees with this mentality very much, and tens of millions of people will go to it! Jiang Zhongyuan may not be really loyal to the alien race, but he is loyal to his choice.

So he released the people in the city, and he didn't embarrass Jiang Zhongyuan for those Huaijun who wanted to escape. It is impossible for Suzhou to hold for too long this time, let alone hold it. Jiang Zhongyuan has to rely on himself to strike hard at the Guangfu Army here, so that the Guangfu Army knows that he Jiang Zhongyuan is not unable to fight.

With such determination, Jiang Zhongyuan is also full of vitality. He planted explosives at the city gates, preparing to give the vanguard a head-on blow when the Liberation Army rushed in. It is also a good thing that there are no people in the city, and the Huai army can also transform the city into a convenient place for fighting.

It's just that Jiang Zhongyuan didn't expect the commander of the Liberation Army to be so "straightforward", and he obviously had the opportunity to seize the city gate, but he ignored it and still adopted the tactics of shelling and attacking the city. And the artillery of the Liberation Army was even more ferocious, and they simply used artillery to collapse the city wall. Jiang Zhongyuan prepared a lot of anti-artillery bunkers for the more traditional artillery bombardment and landing tactics, and prepared a large number of ambushes in them, preparing to counterattack the Guangfu army that landed in the city.

The preparation of a qiē seems to have become ridiculous now, the collapsed city wall is undoubtedly the best breakthrough, the Guangfu army does not need to climb the city wall at all, just rush in directly from the big opening.

Although he never underestimated the Guangfu Army, Jiang Zhongyuan also believed that the Guangfu Army had not gone north in recent years because the leaders with Wei Ze as the core had been corrupted by the soft and rich people of Jinling, Suzhou, Hangzhou, Yangzhou and other water towns in the south of the Yangtze River. No matter what the newspapers of the Guangfu Army said about the Guangfu Army's land reform, the construction of factories, the construction of water conservancy, and the construction of railways, it seems to be a trendy atmosphere. But judging from Jiang Zhongyuan's experience of gambling and lust when he was young, it took ten years of hard work to build the Southern Dynasties, and it would be inconceivable if Wei Ze and the others didn't enjoy it.

Now Jiang Zhongyuan finally understands that he really underestimated Wei Ze and the others, and just from the giant cannon that can completely destroy the city wall, you can see what the Guangfu Army has been doing in the past few years. They are really holding back their energy to engage in production! The Huai Army is also a fairly advanced army in China now, and the foreign teachers have also boasted of the unparalleled firepower of the 36-pounder gun. No matter how Jiang Zhongyuan tried to adapt the production method of this kind of cannon, the foreign teachers said that the production of this kind of cannon requires a huge factory and advanced technology. Regardless of whether this kind of cannon was purchased from overseas by the Guangfu Army, the Huai Army would never be able to transport such a huge cannon from Xuzhou to Suzhou in just four or five days.

Thinking that the Liberation Army had been preparing for war with all its might in the past few years, Jiang Zhongyuan's heart felt discouraged. This kind of self-pity did not last long, Jiang Zhongyuan stood up and drew his waist knife, and shouted to the soldiers who were also stupidly looking at the gap in the city wall: "Sons, follow me to kill the enemy!" ”

Regardless of whether there was anyone behind him, Jiang Zhongyuan rushed towards the gap without hesitation with a single knife.
