"Baga, it's really Li Yunlong's main cavalry!"

Shibata Taro's mouth trembled, and he couldn't speak well.

I saw that outside the north gate of the city, there was a mighty and dense cavalry approaching the city. Especially at the first time, this huge cavalry that suddenly came from the north had quickly surrounded Tuocheng, and it was impossible for a bird to fly out.

"Huh!"

Shibata Taro swallowed involuntarily and his hands and feet trembled!

In Shibata Taro's sight, there were at least 10,000 enemy cavalry outside the city. Moreover, the other side actually used war horses to carry disassembled infantry guns, which were assembled under the noses of Shibata Taro and all the devils and soldiers of the Imperial Alliance Army who were defending at the head of the castle, and built an artillery position.

"All steady, steady. We occupy the city, and we have strong walls to rely on, and it is impossible for the enemy cavalry outside the city to capture the city! Hold it all! Once the opponent attacks the city, give me a fierce counterattack! Shibata Taro saw that the soldiers around him were a little relieved, and drew his katana and roared.

"Yes, Your Excellency."

All the soldiers of the Imperial Association Army and the devil soldiers shouted angrily, but it was deafening and very imposing.

It's just that in the eyes of Li Yunlong and the others outside the city, it's just a meaningless roar before destruction!

At this time, Furukawa Toyotai, who hurried back to the city, staggered back, "Report to Your Excellency Shaozuo, I have reported to Kaifeng urgently." The division commander ordered us to guard against it. He has ordered the defenders of Taikang, Guide, Luyi and Bozhou to come to us for reinforcements, so that they must hold back the main cavalry force of Li Yunlong! ”

"It's really Li Yunlong's cavalry team! It's a big trouble this time! Shibata Taro gritted his teeth and said a little helplessly.

Furukawa Toyotai looked outside the city, and he was also terrified.

The dense cavalry army outside the city has already approached the city. Galloping around the city, smoke and dust surround the city.

The shouting and shouting continued, as if to provoke the Japanese defenders to come out and fight back.

It's just that Fengtai Guhe knows that this is impossible, the other party is a cavalry, not to mention that there are so many cavalry Lin Te, he can't play!

"The division commander ordered us to hold on to the main force of the enemy's cavalry for at least an hour, so that the imperial troops in Taikang, Luyi and other places could reinforce our city!"

Shibata Taro said helplessly: "I'm afraid it's a little difficult!" There were too many cavalry on the other side, and a full-scale attack on Tuocheng was enough for four or five thousand men and horses in each direction. Our total strength is only two infantry squadrons, the 2,000-strong Imperial Cooperative Army, and the total strength is not even 3,000, how can we hold the city for an hour and hold the main force of the enemy's cavalry? In fact, the other side only needs to leave two or three thousand cavalry, which is enough to trap us in Tuocheng. The infantry went out of the city to counterattack, basically looking for death! ”。

"Then Your Excellency Shaozuo, what should we do?" Furukawa Toyotai Road.

Shibata Taro thought about it, but gritted his teeth and said, "There's no way, let's hold on!" Then send a telegram to the division commander and ask him to immediately urge reinforcements to reinforce us. ”。

"Yes, Your Excellency Shaozuo!"

Furukawa Toyotai nodded, and could only rush towards the city headquarters.

At this time, Li Yunlong and others, who had already surrounded Tuocheng, commanded the army to surround Tuocheng to death, and it was almost impossible for even a bird to fly out.

It's just that Tuocheng is also a city with a population of hundreds of thousands.

I saw Li Yunlong, accompanied by Zhang Dabiao and others, to shoot his horse and kill on a hillside 300 meters outside the north gate of Tuocheng to observe Tuocheng.

On the expansion of the city, the devils are ready for battle, and all the light and heavy machine guns have been brought up by the devils and blindly defended.

The gate is probably closed, and there should be bricks and stones blocking the gate from behind.

"The devils in Tuocheng are very fast! It seems that we can't take the city gate, and our cavalry won't be able to gallop inside the murderous city! Li Yunlong was amazed, and the devils in Tuocheng reacted quickly.

Although there is a situation that the four gates of the city have already been closed, the speed at which the other party turns into defense is very fast, and it should be a devil commander who still has some command talent to deploy the defense.

Zhang Dabiao, the commander of the First Brigade, said with a smile: "Division commander, the little devil relies on the devils of the two squadrons to guard the city, hum, it's not me who blows, take the city in ten minutes!" ”。

"Haha, you kid is arrogant! However, Tuocheng is also a large city, guarded by city walls, even if the devil has fewer troops, he can still do it for a while! Three minutes of artillery fire preparation, the troops are ready to attack the city. Before half past five, we went into town for dinner! ”。

"Yes, Commander." Everyone laughed, not thinking that they could not enter the city before half past five!

The three-minute preparation time passed quickly, and Wang Chengzhu's artillery had already moved down and assembled all the artillery parts that had been moved with the war horse.

At least twenty-five 70 mm guns were already facing the north gate of the city.

"Report to the division commander, the artillery has been prepared, please instruct!" Wang Chengzhu walked up to Li Yunlong, stood up and saluted and reported.

Before Li Yunlong started the battle, he also fired a letter of persuasion with a bow and arrow at the north gate of Tuocheng, but he did not get a response from the commander of the devils in the city, and it seemed that it was impossible to surrender.

"If the devil doesn't surrender, he will smash me!" Li Yunlong sneered and ordered Wang Chengzhu to open fire.

"Understood, Commander!"

Wang Chengzhu stood up and saluted, and immediately returned to the artillery position, picked up the command flag and slashed forward, roaring angrily: "Attention all artillery, fire at me, kill!" ”。

"Bang Bang Bang !!"

Cannonballs smashed out one after another, smashing towards the north gate of Tuocheng with a long tail flame.

"Boom, boom!!"

The violent explosion exploded in an instant at the head of the north city of Tuocheng, and the unprepared devil soldiers and soldiers of the Imperial Association Army were all blown apart by the sudden and fierce artillery bombardment.

In the city of Tuocheng, there were only two Type 92 infantry guns, less than five mortars, and this artillery counterattack was quickly locked by Wang Chengzhu's artillery, and it was quickly eliminated cleanly.

Without the last bit of artillery fire, Shibata Taro could only brave Wang Chengzhu's artillery fire and withdraw the head of the north gate in embarrassment, but strictly ordered the devils defending the north gate and the Imperial Alliance troops to defend the north gate.

"Yaga! Tuocheng can't hold it, an hour? Being able to hold on for half an hour can be regarded as the blessing of the gods! Shibata Taro ran down the city in embarrassment, hurried back to the seven-story roof on the side of the main street of the North Gate, and looked at the artillery fire covering the north gate of the city, and it was almost certain that it was impossible to hold the city for an hour.

Furukawa Toyoyasu also found Shibata Taro and said urgently: "The division commander ordered us, no matter what, Takujo must not be lost!" ”。

"Then you can only fight in the streets! The head of the city is under the attack of the opponent's artillery fire at all, and it is impossible to hold the head of the city at all! Chief of Staff, you immediately send someone to give an order to withdraw all the troops in the direction of the North Gate and other city gates to the city and fight street battles with the other side! "That's all Shibata can do!
