Chapter 126: Assault

These big and small bureaucrats, who watched the excitement, just listened to the movements on the battlefield, and did not have a clear understanding of the cruelty of the battlefield, but Zhang Shiyu, the general of the Qing army's Guangdong Governor and Staff, and Deng Zuo, the general of the Qing Army, who were facing the enemy head-on, felt very differently.

"The benefits of this artillery are really incredible, where is this like a rebel?" Zhang Shiyu sighed, looked at the neatly dressed army opposite, and couldn't help but feel a little envious in his heart.

The rest of the people also nodded involuntarily, and then looked at the tattered green battalion soldiers under their command, and their hearts were extremely complicated for a while, who is the official and who is the bandit?

The most infuriating thing is that as soon as the Fu Han army came up, they were invincible, and the young general on the other side, who had not even read this military book earlier, could beat them to the point of losing their armor, which was really too unbearable.

Just this kung fu, the artillery of the two sides rumbles endlessly, but the sound of the cannon is very different, the sound of the sub-mother cannon on the side of the Qing army is short and hoarse, while the sound of the artillery of the Fu Han army is louder and sharper, so it sounds clear and clear.

In the smoke, many people from the Fu Han army and the Qing army fell, especially the Qing army gathered together, and after being hit by artillery fire, it often set off a large number of casualties, which made many Qing soldiers frightened.

With a quick short whistle, the soldiers of the Fu Han Army stopped, had already entered the firing range, and opened three long horizontal formations, and then began to load the bullets and gunpowder, but at this time, the Qing shotgunners had already fired the first round of guns by virtue of their geographical advantages.

However, this round of guns did not achieve the expected purpose, only knocked down two people, which is also because the quality of the Qing army's shotguns is too poor, the bullet at the moment of launch, the rate of fire is seriously insufficient, and it is weak and weak, so it did not cause too many casualties to the Fu Han army.

The Fu Han army also raised the flintlock pistol in his hand, pulled the trigger in unison, and with a roaring sound, rows of projectiles pounced fiercely on the Qing army, and set off clouds of blood mist. However, due to the protection of the wall, many Qing troops were not directly knocked down, but this scene made the Qing army cheer.

Seeing this scene, several high-ranking officers of the Fu Han Army watching the battle couldn't help frowning tightly, although they had already expected it in their hearts, but now they still have some resentment in their hearts, these rabbit cubs have really become shrunken turtles.

After two hours of platoon of guns, the white fog on the battlefield has become so thick that it can't be dissolved, and it looks like a fairyland, but everyone knows that under this fairyland-like place, there is a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

Ujijing pinched his fingers into blue and white, his mass had already damaged more than three hundred people, which made his heart a little bloody, and then looked at the three regiments in the distance, I am afraid that the casualties would not be much better, and a trace of hatred could not help but appear on his face.

This battle was really aggrieved, with the strength of the Han army, if it was a field battle, how could the Qing army on the opposite side be the enemy?

Not only is Ujijing like this, but even Ning Zhongyi, who was watching the battle, had a somewhat unsightly face, and said coldly: "If you want to smash this turtle shell, I'm afraid you have to attack it." Isn't it just two sand ditches, just fill it in. ”

Ning Yu pondered slightly for a while, and also made up his mind, this battle must be fought, only by completely defeating the other party, can the key to the breakthrough be found, even if the order is given to attack.

Xu Chengliang, as a representative, led the team directly to the front line, holding a command flag in his hand, his expression was serious and cold, so he walked into the front line of a regiment and inserted the order flag behind him.

"This place is where our army is desperate to survive, all officers and soldiers are allowed to advance and not retreat under themselves, one person retreats and the whole team is killed, a team retreats and the whole platoon is killed, a platoon retreats and the whole company is killed, a company retreats the whole battalion is killed, and a battalion retreats and the whole regiment is killed!"

"If I retreat, the whole division can kill me to thank the world!"

These murderous words not only did not frighten the officers and men of the whole regiment, but made their morale even higher, especially since the Second Division was originally Xu Chengliang's old unit, and the whole division did not disobey him and was not afraid of him.

At this time, the two independent artillery regiments plus the artillery of the whole division also began to roar, setting off the prelude to a strong attack, in the face of this fierce artillery fire, the Qing army was directly beaten to the head of the head, many sub-mother guns and Weiyuan artillery were also blown into the sky, so that the Qing army was frightened, and many people were blown to pieces.

Until now, the Qing army, as the defending side, has suffered heavy casualties, and it is really rare that it can still hold on to the defensive line without collapsing, but this is also because it has not encountered hand-to-hand combat.

When Yang Lin learned that in just half a day's effort, his casualties had exceeded 1,500, he couldn't help but gasp, how to fight, the Fuhan army on the opposite side fell more than 500 people when it was full, but as a defender, the casualties were so much higher, which was really unreasonable.

However, after seeing the movement of the Fu Han army at this time, Yang Lin became more and more aware of the fact that something was wrong, but before he could reflect, more than 3,000 people of the Fu Han army had already rushed up with bayonets, one by one, and they didn't care about the bullets flying overhead, they just rushed forward with all their strength.

Many soldiers of the Fu Han army also carried a few planks with them, rushed to the deep ditch to put the plank up, and continued to charge, the two deep ditches that the Qing army had high hopes for, did not play the role they imagined, and some Fu Han soldiers carried a log, and they wanted to attack the walled gate.

This kind of hard village was not very strong in the first place, and it was common for it to be broken at this time, especially after the soldiers of the Fu Han army worked together, the thin gate of the village fell to the ground, and then the soldiers of the Fu Han army swarmed in and began the most brutal hand-to-hand fighting.

Seeing this situation, Ning Yu ordered the second and third regiments of the 1st division to respond, and let the independent artillery regiment shell the rear of the camp, so as to reduce the impact of reinforcements.

In hand-to-hand combat, there is a man who stands out, he is Chen Xiaowu, who has made many contributions, and now he has become the deputy battalion commander, but his stabbing skills have not been lost, and the Qing army has constantly fallen at his feet, and the blood has gathered into a crooked stream.

There are not many men like Chen Xiaowu, but as a result of long-term stabbing training, more and more soldiers of the Fu Han Army began to gain the upper hand in hand-to-hand combat, and in this way, the flesh and blood of the Qing army were consumed into this millstone faster.

Several battalions of Zhang Shiyu, the general of the Qing army in Guangzhou, had already lost more than 300 people, and the rest were also planning to escape. This was the case with the other Qing troops guarding the front line, and the entire front gradually showed a tendency to collapse.
