As long as Hong Chengchou was not a madman, he would not ignore the Qing army's heavy casualties, and strengthening this attack would only make the Qing army's defeat faster.

Both sides were calculating their losses and weighing the next battle, and Bolo, who had combat experience in Jinhua Mansion, saw the problem.

"Lord Hong, I don't think our cannon will cause much damage to the enemy."

"Ah, is it?" Hong Chengchou picked up the binoculars and looked at the ongoing stalemate battle on the battlefield, there was no need to look at the front, where the soldiers were coming and going, it was impossible for the artillery to hit anywhere, and on the enemy positions that were being bombarded on the side, he did not see many casualties of the enemy being carried out.

"How so?"

"How so?"

"How so?"

"What is the reason for the fall to the ground that the enemy's casualties are so few, does the enemy have a spell?" Thinking of this, he shook his head, for others, they may think that it is true that the enemy knows spells, and believe in spells, but for him Hong Chengchou, he only believes in himself, he is very confident in himself, all his plans, except for the things he doesn't know, everything else is in his control.

He believed that there were no spells in this world, and that there must be a way to prevent cannon attacks that he didn't know.

He observed carefully, "The trenches, the enemy's trenches, I said that the enemy is so powerful, dare to defend the capital of Raozhou with such a small number of troops, it turns out that the enemy is using such a method, my nearly 40,000 troops are pressed, except for rushing to him hand-to-hand combat, there is no other way to break his defense, this method is simply amazing." ”

When Bolo heard him say this, he was originally a person who led the army and knew the general, and suddenly woke up, but after that, he suddenly fell silent, if this is the case, how many soldiers will have to be used to fill this hole, although now ten times the enemy's strength is besieging the city, although he really doesn't care about the death of the soldiers below, and even Hong Chengchou has prepared 200,000 to supply the army, and the people who provide for it can fill this loophole, but think about the hundreds of thousands of people who died in order to attack a city, is this price really worth it?

The offensive continued, and the strength of more than 40,000 troops attacked a frontal battlefield that was no more than five miles long and wide, and its density was still very large, with the sacrifice of the 20,000 green battalion troops in front, and the obstacles in front were still there, but the organs and horse traps were no longer there, and there were 20,000 more corpses on the ground.

A small obstacle could not stop the attack of tens of thousands of Qing troops, this time the Qing army after sacrificing tens of thousands of troops, attacked the front of the trench fifty meters away, and launched an attack on the defenders in the trench, no longer a situation of being beaten on one side, bows and arrows, crossbow arrows shot into the trench like locusts, and suddenly the casualties in the trench increased sharply.

At this time, the artillery behind the trench opened fire, and dozens of three-pounder cannons began to bombard the Qing army on the opposite side one after another.

The small cannon pushed out of the anti-artillery hole quickly began to attack the enemy in a group of three, each one fired, the other two were prepared, fired in turn, and then loaded in turn, there was always one to keep shooting, so that the firepower was continuous, even if because of the unfamiliar relationship, so that one or two of them were separated by some time, it would not affect the large-scale fire attack.

The firepower was repeated, the losses of the Qing army increased, and the Qing army, which had approached the trench, jumped up but was hit by the artillery in the rear, while the Huaxia army in the trench would never go out of the trench for half a meter to vacate the firing range for the artillery fire behind.

Soon this wave of attacking troops of the Qing army suffered heavy casualties again and retreated, and even the running war horses could not endure such a tragic and bloody massacre.

The soldiers of the Huaxia Army, who came from the second trench to reinforce them, jumped into the trench and quickly defeated the Qing army who attacked the trench, then threw the corpse out of the trench, and then reorganized the militia and people in the trench.

After this battle, the coward also became a killer, and the killer became an experienced soldier. The militia became official soldiers of the Chinese Army.

After moving the wounded and captured enemy to the rear of the canton, they returned to the trenches again.

Then the second line of trenches in the rear quickly sent out militiamen, and the baggage soldiers transported them to the castle for healing, and behind each trench there were a certain number of cantonments, which were set up later, as soldiers stationed and rotated to rest, as well as medical transport departments, and even as the headquarters of this section of the battlefield.

The wounded and prisoners who had undergone simple medical treatment were taken to the first line of trenches, from which they were transported back to the city for medical treatment or contendency.

The enemy retreated, the artillery stopped attacking, quickly turned back into the small earthen bag of the anti-artillery hole, and hid.

Hong Chengchou watched every move on the battlefield, carefully observing the operation of the Huaxia army, the Qing troops who feinted in other directions were also wounded and killed, but the damage caused by the artillery to the enemy was insufficient, and the sky was not yet dark, he pressed 30,000 soldiers again.

The interval was only half an hour, just after the adjustment of the Huaxia Army was completed, the first trench was supplemented with new combat power, and many sturdy people and militiamen who could fight were sent to the battlefield, Feng Wuyu was not a fool, he saw that this third attack, the enemy would definitely break deeper into the trenches, and then there would be a bloody battle.

When there were no musketeers, bows and arrows were not enough to confront the enemy, and artillery with solid bullets was not enough to make the enemy fear and block the enemy's attack, because under the supervision of the Qing army behind, rushing forward was a dead end, and if you didn't rush, you would definitely die.

It can be said that of the nearly 50,000 Qing troops lost, 10,000 were hacked to death by the Han army's banner supervision team.

Feng Wuyu constantly adjusted the deployment of troops, and pulled the militia and civilians who had never seen blood to the first trench, which was originally the third trench for the siege, and at this time it was the first trench on the front.

Most of the brave men and militiamen who had seen blood were sent to the second trench to replace those who had not seen blood in the second trench.

The 30,000-strong green battalion of the Qing army was assembled again, and then the attack area was expanded, this time within ten miles, which was almost the largest area that could be covered by the first line of trenches, and then it had already turned to the trenches in other areas.

"Why didn't the enemy attack us with bigger artillery?" Bolo asked.

Hong Chengchou continued to look at the battlefield, and said: "There is no time, these Huaxia troops are cunning, next, let the Qing army in the other three directions attack together, send 30,000 troops in each direction, they are few, since they want to consume us in the first trench, we will consume them in the first trench," After speaking, he snorted coldly, "I will force out all their tricks today." ”

Hong Chengchou was ruthless, but he was busy with Feng Wuyu, he had to deal with the attack of the Qing army in the front and also took into account the attack on both sides, but he forced Brother Zhu, who was still watching the battle on the city gate, to go to the south gate, to the front line, to command the battle, and at the same time sent a Huaxia army garrison to command the other side, and Liu Liangzuo also went to the other side to command the battle.

This battle was even more tragic than the previous two, this time it was not only the Qing army, but also the Huaxia army, the enemy braved the artillery fire to attack, many people jumped into the trenches to attack, several generals of the Huaxia Army under the command had to transfer the heavy soldiers and engineers of the Huaxia Army in the second trench to join the first line of hand-to-hand combat.

This battle was fought until late at night, before the enemy's attack was repulsed, the Huaxia army suffered 5,000 casualties, and the enemy killed and wounded more than 70,000 people.

However, this time, the Huaxia Army even put into battle the battleable cold weapon troops in the whole city, and the militia and civilians suffered countless casualties.

The tragic battle made several generals under the command of the Huaxia Army sad, the lack of troops was a big problem, and if there was another one, even the second line of defense would not be enough to protect.

It's only the seventh day.

After receiving Zhang Qiang's letterhead, he held on for half a month, which was only half, and several people totaled whether to give up the first trench and move to the second trench, and several people spent the second half of the night in discussion.

And Hong Chengchou and Bolo, who were already thinking of using the flesh and blood of the Han people to open the enemy's turtle shell, although they were mentally prepared, saw that they had suffered 120,000 casualties on the first day of attack, and their faces were bloodless.

When the war was going on, the blood of the two people was surging, and they felt that they were about to break through, and they continued to join the troops, but they didn't want to wait for the end of the war, facing the death and injury of 120,000 troops, and the two of them also felt pain.

Days of marching, days of preparation and siege of the city came to such a result.

Bolo said to Hong Chengchou: "You can't attack in full force anymore, tomorrow you will concentrate your forces to attack the front, the north gate, as long as you break through the first line of defense, the enemy's strength will be seriously insufficient, when the time comes, concentrate all the artillery to bombard the enemy in one go, although the artillery is not very powerful against the enemy's trenches, but it is also somewhat useful, especially when the two sides are fighting with each other." ”

Hong Chengchou looked at him and nodded, but he was saying in his heart, "You are ruthless." Even his own people are fighting together. ”

I don't know what happened to Duoduo Baylor on that side, Hong Chengchou felt that the army should be arranged to set up an ambush in the middle of the road, and Duoduo should drive Zhang Qiang and them to the border area of Raozhou Mansion.

"Report to your lord, the messenger came just now, and most of our troops transporting grain and grass were wiped out by the enemy's cavalry, only 50,000 stone grain and grass and less than 10,000 people arrived at the barracks, and the rest were burned or robbed by the cavalry of the Huaxia Army."

"What?" Hearing such news, the two of them were not calm, and looked at the messenger who came to report with angry eyes.

After figuring out the situation, the two of them had a headache, 400,000 soldiers and horses had tens of thousands of stones of grain and grass a day, and 50,000 stones of grain and grass were not enough to eat for a few days.

But it won't last long.

"Come on, send 5,000 Manchurian cavalry, 5,000 Han army banners, and 5,000 people to Ji'an Mansion to transport grain." Bolo shouted orders to a Manchurian general.

Then he said to Hong Chengchou: "Take it as soon as possible, don't grind with the Huaxia army anymore, it's useless to study again, they will definitely be exterminated by us, they are not strong enough, we can transfer hundreds of thousands of troops from the north at any time." ”

"Yes, Lord Belle, tomorrow will rest for half a day, and in the afternoon the minions will definitely attack with all their troops and take the enemy's city, and if they don't take the city, they will definitely not have a truce."

"You let the monk Kong Youde and Shang Kexibu also come, don't ambush, maybe the army of Duoduo Belle has wiped out the enemy, and now it is attacking the enemy's lair."

Bolo gave the death order, and Hong Chengchou, as a Hanchen, also had to carry it out.
