Chen Shizhong vomited blood when he saw it at the head of the city, and he desperately used the back of his knife to drive the retreating Qing soldiers back: "Hurry up for me, go up for me!" Get back to the city!"

He knew very well that if the red turban thieves succeeded in building the bridge, the morale in Huangyan City would be reduced by half, and until now, although there is a city wall in Huangyan City, it is at a disadvantage in actual combat.

Not to mention anything else, in the artillery battle, there are obviously more artillery on his side, but he is pressed and beaten by the Red Turban Army, if he can't even suppress the Red Turban Army that pressed out to build a bridge, then the next close battle on his side can't be fought at all.

It's just that the soldiers were afraid of the cannonballs and the front guns from the roar of the red thieves, so he hit him with the back of his knife again and again, but in exchange for the crowd to press him back, he almost trampled Chen Zongbing to death.

He was a new official, and even the green battalion soldiers in Huangyan Town were not very familiar with him, not to mention these temporary recruits of brave warriors, and they were even more bold to bump over, he looked back, but found that Gao Liangcai, the magistrate, was also hiding under the city, but he was very calm: "Kochi County, what other clever strategies can break the enemy now!"

"I can only wait for the thieves to intend to enter the city, and when the time comes, the artillery team of the thieves will definitely not be useful!"

"But now let the red thief put it up, there will be endless troubles!" General Chen said repeatedly: "Do you want to recruit brave people to go out of the city and burn the thieves' pontoon bridge?" ”

It's just that Gao Liangcai said very pessimistically: "Chen Zhentai, now that you are shooting against the red thieves in the city, our soldiers in Huangyan Town can't hold down the position, and you still want to go out of the city to fight the thieves!"

Chen Shizhong thought about it: "But what if the thieves are close to the county seat?" ”

Where can Gao Liangcai come up with a way, he just said: "Let the red thief erect the pontoon bridge first, and then think of a way to do the rest later!"

Half an hour later, two pontoon bridges had been erected over the moat, which was already not wide. It's just that these two pontoon bridges also cost the Hong army blood, and the punishment battalion dispatched a hundred dead soldiers to erect these two pontoon bridges, and now only more than 30 people can be withdrawn, and almost all of them are wounded.

Some of the dead soldiers who were lost in the river and outside the city may be able to be saved, but there is little hope, and standing in Lin Song's position, he can only see the entire punishment battalion frantically filling the moat. I couldn't help but shout: "Lao Shi, I think Sun Huzi is still good to the two of us, and he didn't ask us to fill it in Huangyan County!"

"Wait a minute, our forward company will fill in!" Shi Yunqing's face was very ugly: "If we don't fight, our pioneer company is even worse than the punishment camp." ”

Lin Song was concerned about another matter: "Did Sun Huzi ask for credit to the inspection point for us, he gave a guarantee before, and we also made a great effort in Li Zhuang!"

"He counts when he talks!" It's just that Shi Yunqing told him a not very good result: "I specifically asked Shi Huiji once, but our company is not as lucky as Shi Huiji for the time being, and it will not be upgraded, but it will be expanded into two companies, and you are also a company commander!"

In a way. This is Shi Yunqing's strength shrinking, but Lin Song is his team, and he has not encountered any problems commanding Lin Song since he was a child, so he also admitted: "It's also a good thing that your kid became a company commander, let's have a drink!"

Lin Song was a pessimist: "It seems that most of this Huangyan can be taken, I originally planned to take this Huangyan City, if I can't take this Huangyan City." Let's drag the team to the south of the Feiyun River, anyway, Panshizhai can't control us!"

"How can you get down so easily when you get on the thief ship!" Shi Yunqing told him: "It's a good thing to expand into two companies, maybe it will be upgraded to a battalion at some point, but it's a pity!"

He was thinking about Shi Huiji. If Shi Huiji was willing to pull him at that time and let him also have a good relationship with Qu Jie, why would he sigh here now, he would definitely be as proud as Shi Huiji, and even had a pair of revolvers in his hand to play with.

"Shi Huiji, this feud, we Shi Yunqing have written it down, and sooner or later we will find you to come back!"

Liu Chang was still riding on his horse. Announce to everyone the next order: "The bridge is successful, continue the shelling, and strive to open a gap in the city wall, I see that the section in front of me is a brick wall, step up the bombardment!"

For artillery, the most difficult city wall to break down was the mud wall, especially the mud wall like the one in Nanjing. Even with modern artillery, it would be a lot of trouble, but this section of the brick wall in front of him seemed to be relaxed, trying to blast a gap. ..., followed by a somewhat monotonous and classical scene, Liu Chang rode straight on the horse. Ready to throw troops into battle, the artillery roared. Little by little, they repeatedly bombarded this section of the brick wall, and the solid bullets smashed through again and again, smashing open the gap little by little.

It's just that the scene where the punishment camp filled the moat just now impressed Liu Chang too much, and his mind was still bloody, and finally, Shi Tinglan suddenly held his hand and continued to persuade: "I have already been to the punishment camp once, and I have already appeased you!"

Pacify well? These are dozens of living lives, how can a few words be appeased, but Liu Chang didn't question Shi Tinglan, or question himself, he just said: "Do the brothers who died in the war have any wishes?" I'll do it for them!"

Although you died for me, even if you were not willing to die for me, I will give an account to your heavenly spirits, and this is what Liu Chang can do!

Except for a few Qing soldiers who stayed behind to guard the battlement wall, the rest of the Qing army retreated to the Tibetan Cave, and some retreated directly to the city, the artillery of the Red Turban Army was too terrible, and the thunderous bombardment made them unwilling to repeat such a scene.

Chen Shizhong had already met with Gao Liangcai, and Chen Shizhong told Kochi County: "County Zun, I will personally fill it in with my own soldiers later, if the red thief wants to board our Huangyan City, he will have to pay a big price!"

Kochi Prefecture also expressed his determination: "The forces available to me, that is, a wide bravery, are all composed of my township party, and when the time comes, they will all rush to the city wall and fight to the death against the red thieves!"

He is now wearing a court uniform, he told Chen Zongbing: "I was lucky to defeat Yingyi in Sanyuan in the past, and I was not abandoned by the emperor, and I was specially promoted and distributed to Zhejiang as the magistrate, the emperor's favor is deep, and I can only repay the gentleman's grace with death, and if there is any accident at that time, my family will also ask Your Excellency the General Soldier to take care of it!"

"My family has also been entrusted to the magistrate!"

Both of them were quite pessimistic, and although the soldiers in the city were killed and wounded less than two hundred, the morale of some of the defenders was close to collapse.

Although the red thieves suffered greater losses in building the bridge this time, the morale of the troops was greatly frustrated, but the two of them had no doubt that the Red Turban Army would have to pay a great price to conquer Huangyan County, after all, it was not so easy for them to rush across the pontoon bridge and enter the city, and they didn't want to board Huangyan County without killing or wounding hundreds of people.

As he was talking, he heard the sound of the sky cracking, and someone exclaimed: "The city wall has collapsed!" The walls are falling!"

After three hours of continuous bombardment by artillery, a section of the city wall has collapsed, and the Hong army can use this collapsed city wall to launch a direct attack.

Liu Chang, who was riding a healthy horse under the city, shouted loudly: "Chief Chen in the city, is Kochi County available?" Liu Chang, who commanded the Zhejiang Hongjun inspection, also wanted to ask the two of them to say a few words. ”

Chen Shizhong immediately said: "Sure enough, it's Liu Jiehu, I'll go find dozens of quasi-head guns, and try to see if I can kill the thief Liu Jiehu, if this thief is killed, Huang Yan will definitely be saved!"

Gao Liangcai nodded, but stood behind the battlement wall and asked, "I don't know what happened to Liu Jian looking for me Gao?" ”

Liu Chang shouted loudly on the horse: "Kochi County, you are also my Han blood, I only started to restore the mountains and rivers of the Han family, if you and General Chen are willing to raise righteousness before the battle, Liu Chang is not only welcome, but also willing to entrust the position of prime minister." ”

"Thank you for passing the inspection!" Gao Liangcai said: "A certain emperor appreciated, promoted to the reckless, the emperor's kindness is deep, how dare not report!"

Soon, Liu Chang changed his words: "That's okay, as long as Kochi County and General Chen are willing to retreat, I am willing to give up a road, we will not hurt each other, and we will be safe!"

"Since you have received the emperor's grace, you must naturally be loyal to his duty!" Gao Liangcai did not give in: "Your army artillery is sharp, but our soldiers are as many as 3,000, if your army wants to attack, it will also lose more than 1,000 soldiers, if you and I are harmonious, I will be the master of General Chen's soldiers, take out a few thousand taels of ransom money, and reward your soldiers!"

"I'm here to Huangyan to restore the Han family, not for money!" Liu Chang continued: "Although the number of people in Huangyan County is as large as 3,000, and there is a strong city, our army is invincible and invincible, if Kochi County resists again, I am afraid that it will be too late to regret it at that time!"

"Huangyan City is full of soldiers, and the army and the people are sincerely united!" Gao Liangcai said loudly: "Liu Checkpoint, just give it a try!" Don't break your head and bleed when the time comes!"

"That's good!" Liu Jingxiao smiled: "Let's give it a try!"

He flicked his sleeve with his left hand, indicating that he had begun to test the attack, but he shouted: "Kaecheng!"

Gao Liangcai was about to deploy defense, but he heard a commotion behind him, but dozens of local heroes shouted loudly: "Do it!" Do it!"

They had firmly occupied a section of the wall, and with a loud shout, their swords and spears were slashed at the nearby soldiers, and a red flag had been hoisted at the head of the city.

"Kaesong!"

Liu Chang flicked his sleeves, and the entire Rainbow Army began to act, the first thing to prepare for investment was the Dragon Lance Battalion, Qu Jie shouted loudly: "My Dragon Lance Battalion has never been invincible, invincible, and it will be up to our Dragon Lance Battalion to make the final decision when it is critical!" Prepare to attack!"

Before he finished speaking, the entire dragon spear battalion was already a cheer, and then Qu Jie was pleasantly surprised to find that the city was already full of shouting and killing, and a red flag was raised, this is a once-in-a-lifetime fighter, he just wanted to issue an order, someone had already issued an order for him: "Dragon spear battalion!" Assault!"

Dragon Lance Battalion! Assault!
