Feng Wenyi immediately became a little angry, but he was a child of a family, but he had a calm and unhurried bearing, and immediately said: "Boss Hu said this, there must be a reason, I have little knowledge, I want to ask for a word or two!"

Hu Xueyan immediately said: "The rainbow army in Yanzhou Mansion now is only three or four thousand people, and the monk King Shengbao commanded a hundred battles, and the thunder striked, even if Huo Qiu was through a hundred battles, it was difficult to escape, not to mention that this Huo Qiu was just a small salt lord in Yueqing County a year ago, how could he resist the male soldiers of the monk King Shengbao!"

He continued: "If Yanzhou is defeated, then the Dragon Lance Brigade will fight hard in Quzhou, and the newly victorious army will be difficult to gain a foothold with its tired troops, so it will have to ask for help from the Heavenly Wing King!"

"The division of the Wing King is also an elite soldier in a hundred battles, and it is naturally difficult to distinguish the winner for a while, but this Quzhou Mansion may not be able to enter the hands of the Hong Army, Feng Gongzi, what do you say!"

If the Dragon Lance Brigade couldn't parry, and the Wing King elite happened to be nearby, it was indeed possible that this could evolve into a decisive battle between the Tianping Heavenly Kingdom and the Qing Army, but Feng Wenyi smiled and said: "That's right, then according to you, the Rainbow Army still has a forty percent chance of winning!"

"If I don't have a 40% chance of winning, why should I come here to gamble!" Hu Xueyan said excitedly: "The defeat of Liu Juehu in this battle is only a year or two too late. ”

But what he said was not the case at all, everyone understood that he was suppressing the public bond market, and Feng Wenyi smiled: "That's right, that's right!" But I have confidence in Huo Qiu, a smuggler of salt, I can trust him to make a situation in Yanzhou Mansion, I don't believe you, I'll wait for the latest news!"

Huo Qiu, who was pinned on all his hopes by Feng Wenyi, was looking at the pocket watch in his hand at this moment.

Nine o'clock!

Fire!

The first to strike was the artillery unit of the Hong Army, and now the Dragon Lance Brigade has gathered all its artillery and is ready to baptize Jiande in the morning light with a round of bullet rain.

"Putting ......"

The entire artillery line was lined up in the south of the city, and there was a long queue from left to right, where there were both twelve-pounder mountain howitzers and nine-pounder field guns. There are also 12-pounder rifled guns cast by the Rainbow Army, all kinds of things, all kinds of things.

The first to fire was a twelve-pounder mountain howitzer, and the gunner struggled to pull the bolt, and the whole gun roared backwards, and a white smoke enveloped the entire artillery position.

When the cannon was covered in white smoke, a rifled gun next to him also began to fire, and the shell streaked through the air in a fiery arc. Whistling down on the city walls, another cloud of white smoke drowned out the artillery charge.

At this moment, the artillery on the far right began to roar, and the solid bullets hit the wall of Jiande City directly, opening a small gap, and the artillery on the further right began to fire again.

Looking from Huo Qiu's side, there was already a white fog in front of him. The artillery positions roared from left to right, and all kinds of grenades, solid shells, incendiary bombs, and shotguns of all sizes were dropped on the head of the city of Jiande County.

The walls of Jiande County have been surrounded by countless scorching heat and flames, and the Qing army that was originally standing on it has disappeared without a trace, and at this moment the snipers are still looking for any worthy targets, trying to add a new victory mark to their rifles.

The guns roared in turn, and the shells continued to fall, until the rightmost gun had finished firing, and the smoke had cleared above the guns on the left flank, and the gunners had just washed the breeches clean. And reload the ratio, and immediately fire the shell.

It was another gorgeous cycle, dozens of cannons made a majestic symphony, so that the entire city gate was plunged into the roar of artillery fire, Huo Qiu said with a serious expression: "Ready!"

The infantry had already loaded their bayonets, held ladders, ropes, and other siege equipment, and watched as the artillery fire poured down on the city, and watched another round of artillery from left to right. …,

It was another loop, and the roar of artillery made it impossible to see a single figure in the city. And now the trumpeter has sounded the trumpet vigorously. The commanders of the assault companies had jumped out of the trenches, and the artillery was still roaring towards the city.

"Kill!"

In the roar of cannons. One by one, the infantry rushed out like tigers descending from the mountain, and they went straight to the walls, while the artillery was still pouring fire from left to right, but this was the last round of fire before the infantry attacked the city.

The infantrymen knew very well that they were in a race against death, and they ran so fast that in less than a minute they had reached the moat of Jiande City, and then the sappers who had assaulted them in advance began to erect pontoon bridges over the moat.

They were so miraculous that in a matter of minutes, the moat, a few feet wide, had transformed into a pontoon bridge made of door panels, hoists, and other devices, and the infantry continued to cross the pontoon bridge with ladders, and then hooked the ladders to the walls of Jiande.

Everything was just right, there was no problem of insufficient length of ladders that often occurs in battle, and the officers and men on several ladders climbed up quickly, shouting: "Hurry up!" Hurry up!"

And the officers and soldiers waiting for Hou Dengcheng in the city were even more anxious, and said loudly: "Hold on top!"

Now there were finally sporadic figures at the head of the city, but they quickly became the targets of the snipers, who searched for targets in their sight with a sniper scope that was one and a half times larger, and opened fire when they found one - whether they could hit or not, they could stop the other side from making further moves.

They were even accompanied by observers with binoculars to assist them in combat, directing the snipers' movements and shouting loudly.

The rhythm of the Qing army coming out of the cave was obviously slowed down, and when they reached the top of the city, they found that the red thieves were already standing on it, holding bayonets, sabers, rifles, and some with revolvers, and they directly started face-to-face hand-to-hand combat.

The sound of gunshots, fighting, and shouts permeated the entire city gate, and from Huo Qiu's angle, it could be clearly seen that two of the six ladders that had been erected had been pushed down with people and ladders, and it was obvious that the city-climbing commandos above had not been able to hold on.

But the remaining four ladders were climbed up by brush, and there were several ladders erected near them, and the pace of climbing the city began to quicken, and he couldn't help but praise: "Good! Tell Yun Tianzong, just do it, we are not afraid of encountering Hu Xingren and Zhang Yuliang with white soldiers, we are not afraid of anyone!"

It's just that the cadres below immediately told Huo Qiu: "Brigade commander, Commander Yun has crossed the moat!"

Picking up the binoculars and looking, it was really true, he saw Yun Tianzong with his own eyes holding a revolver and calling something under the city, and the originally chaotic order of climbing the city became orderly because of his arrival.

At this time, someone over there shouted: "The second battalion of the teaching regiment has also succeeded in ascending the city!"

Huo Qiu looked at it in a blink of an eye, and sure enough, the direction in which the second battalion of the teaching regiment was in charge, although it received relatively little artillery support, now a red flag was also raised!

"Good!" Huo Qiu originally had some opinions about the second battalion of the teaching regiment, but when he saw that they had successfully landed in the city, he shouted loudly: "Let's not let the second battalion of the teaching regiment compare with each other, the first position in the city is ours!"

On the city walls, however, it has evolved into a gun-to-gun scuffle, in which officers and soldiers on both sides engage in hand-to-hand combat in a narrow area, sometimes stabbing an enemy as soon as they are stabbed by the enemy.

Hu Xingren and Zhang Yuliang used all their capital, and Hu Xingren simply pulled up all the personal soldiers he recruited from his hometown, but there was no point except for increasing the pile of corpses by a few feet.

Rainbow armies continued to emerge from the city, and more and more, mercilessly shooting at any target that stood in their way, either with bullets from the chambers of their guns, bayonets, or revolvers. …,

In this case, Hu Xingren and Zhang Yuliang's troops could only retreat step by step, giving up the city gate to the Hong army, Hu Xingren wanted to personally lead the team to rush up, but he was just a scholar, although he had this spirit, but he took two steps, looking at the piles of corpses and wounded, but he only felt disgusted and vomited, and he could no longer take a step.

"Hey......" He didn't know how to describe himself, but the next moment, he felt that his ears had an illusion, but the next moment, he still heard the faint roar of cannons.

Although it was subtle and inconspicuous in the earth-shaking fighting sound, Hu Xingren was in good spirits and shouted loudly: "It's the monks and Shengbao's soldiers who are coming, brothers, it's the monks and Shengbao's soldiers who are coming, brothers, give me a standstill!"

Although he got the news that He Guiqing sent from Hangzhou Mansion at the risk of death, saying that the monk king and Shengbao's infantry and horse team totaling 200,000 horses had arrived in Hangzhou Mansion and had rushed to Jiande in the starry night, he thought that this was just an exaggeration, but at this moment, it gave Hu Xingren and the Qing army in the city a shot in the arm, and they launched a counterattack with shouting.

This is the most fierce fight!

And under the city, Huo Qiu also heard the faint sound of cannons, he first took a long breath, and then said to his subordinates: "Hurry up to the city, Jiande City is already ours, see, our red flag is flying high in Jiande City!"

It's just that after all, his heart is still torn apart, he doesn't know how the battle is going on on Zhen Changyu's battalion, and he doesn't know which side is coming from the roar of this cannon now, he only has one thought in his heart: "To believe in the battle of the Nanxi Brigade, no matter what, to believe that the Nanxi Brigade can create all miracles!"

It's just that the pressure made Huo Qiu, who was just a smuggler a year ago, almost collapsed, he pulled out his waist knife in one hand and held a revolver in the other, and ran towards Jiande City, and several cadres from several brigade headquarters around him shouted repeatedly: "Brigade commander!" Danger!"

The projectile of the shotgun slid past them, and Huo Qiu shouted: "Tell Yun Tianzong that the command of the city will be handed over to me, and he will give me to go to the city, no matter what, I will take Jiande County!"

He has such a thought in his heart, Zhen Changyuying's brothers, Lao Tzu please!
