After a lot of hardships, Wu Ruxiao finally led the Taiping army to open up the situation, but at this time the Qing army had also completed the deployment of the second line of defense in depth. Wu Ruxiao was very depressed, and after paying countless casualties, he seemed to have returned to the original point. Although he was already in the Dragon and Tiger Camp Village, he was still the defense line of the Qing army in front of him. The only thing that has changed is that he also has a trench, only three hundred meters away from the Qing army's defensive line. But the bunkers on both wings gave him more firepower pressure, and if he could really calculate the account, Wu Ruxiao would definitely lose money.

After Gong Deshu's 5,000 reinforcements arrived, the situation did not change, and the Taiping army still did not break through, but the casualties were getting bigger and bigger. From the bunker to the top of the hill, muskets and artillery continued to rain bullets on the Taiping army. The beginning of the Guoxing'a plan was the loss of the first line, how could it leave a complete fortification for the Taiping army. Although it was not possible to leave nothing behind, the trench fortifications of the Qing army were all built forward, forming a certain inclination, resulting in most of the Taiping troops in the trenches now being exposed to the fire of the Qing army.

Gong Deshu, who knew the environment, almost ordered a retreat, but fortunately, Wu Ruxiao was determined to stop him. What a price did the Taiping army pay to get to this point, and if they retreat now, then everything they had experienced before may have to be repeated. Wu Ruxiao sent a herald to the main formation, he needed Li Xiucheng's support, he didn't want soldiers, he needed another fifty artillery pieces.

Chen Yucheng was very reluctant when he heard Wu Ruxiao's request, because Li Xiucheng promised that he would give him these artillery pieces when he returned to western Anhui. Chen Yucheng also had some artillery under him, but they were all cast by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom itself, the quality was not good, and the power was very limited. Li Xiucheng's more than 200 guns, although in Li Xiucheng's hands, are considered second-line configurations, but they are already very good for Chen Yucheng's department. Just after the battle, all fifty artillery pieces were overturned, Li Xiucheng only cared about the battle situation, but Chen Yucheng hurriedly asked people to rescue the remnants of the artillery. Chen Yucheng, who looked at the remnants of the cannon, wanted to cry without tears, the Qing army's high-explosive shells were too powerful, and it was very common for them to penetrate the cannon body or deform the barrel. Thirty-nine of the fifty guns were completely scrapped, and the remaining eleven looked like they were still in order, but they had to go back and try to find out if they were injured. Wu Ruxiao's mouth is fifty doors, and Chen Yucheng is reluctant!

"Hurry up and pick him another fifty good ones!" Li Xiucheng was also very anxious when he heard the situation, and he couldn't delay it, and it was time for both sides to grit their teeth, and the victory or defeat might be in one fell swoop. The Qing army's tactics were flexible, and the losses were very small, and they had the advantage of defense, so the Taiping army had to turn the situation back to have a chance of victory.

"Big brother, artillery is precious!" Chen Yucheng was distressed when he thought about it, and he could see that these artillery pieces would not come back after they went up.

"Take down the Qing Demon, and the Qing Demon's artillery will be given to you." Li Xiucheng didn't want to talk nonsense, so he saw through Chen Yucheng's careful thinking at a glance, and immediately made it clear and straightforward.

"Okay!" Chen Yucheng was still reluctant, but when he was watching the battle just now, Li Xiucheng said that the Qing army used very sophisticated foreign cannons, and Chen Yu could only agree aggrievedly when he became compensation.

When the artillery came and went on the road, the Taiping army had already fired several rounds with the Qing army and charged several times, and the result was that the Qing army lost one person and wounded thirteen, while the Taiping army had suffered more than 3,000 casualties in Longhuying Village alone. That is, the Taiping army has always been brave and tenacious, and it has the support of Gong Deshu's troops, otherwise any army would not be able to attack under such circumstances. By this time, all the Taiping soldiers had red eyes, and they no longer had any feelings about death.

Li Xiucheng sent enough artillery to open a museum, but this time he focused more on domestic antiques and not many foreign antiques. In fact, before the Armstrong gun, or before the Second Industrial Revolution, the difference between Chinese and foreign weapons in terms of finished products was not particularly large, especially in artillery, so the place of origin was not important. Wu Ruxiao, who got artillery, finally grasped the initiative on the battlefield in stages.

This batch of fifty guns is still different in length, fat and thin, but it is more than 300 meters away from the Qing army's deep defense line and only 200 meters away from the bunker, all within the range of these antiques. The red-eyed Taiping army did not mention copper coins, and even gold and silver jewelry, and even vegetables that looked like cannonballs, such as radishes, were stuffed into the cannon. Shooting at close range from a distance of several hundred meters, let alone the deep defense line of the Qing army, even the firepower of the bunker was suppressed. The bunker also has a perforation, and the mess fired by the Taiping army can also fly in. Fortunately, due to the lack of masonry, the inner walls of the bunker are all wood or mud, otherwise the ricocheting bomb can kill the Qing soldiers in the bunker.

Goxinga at the top of the mountain even saw some iron balls with particularly curved balls flying through the sky, and the curved trajectory seemed to be a parabola. Goxinga thought of mortars, and then instantly put the thought away. Unless someone from the Taiping Army crossed the production line, no one would be able to figure it out. And I made a mortar to shoot iron balls, what kind of head did it have to be, and I met a herd of donkeys when I crossed over.

"Rush!" Wu Ruxiao and Gong Deshu were excited and almost hugged each other, and the overall situation was decided.

The soldiers of the Taiping Army roared angrily and rushed along the trenches to the deep defense line of the Qing army, and many brave men who were not afraid of death rushed out of the trenches and charged frantically. The firepower on the defensive line was so sparse and the resistance of the bunkers was as insignificant as a death throes, and the Qing army seemed to have to retreat up the hill and then eventually fall short.

A sharp whistling sound of "whoosh, whoosh......" suddenly sounded on the hillside, billowing smoke began to rise on the hillside, and hundreds* of flames with dazzling tails rose into the sky. Everyone was attracted by this shocking scene, and the fire dragon flying in the blue sky had a little bit of a beautiful feeling, and it was more of a shock that remained in people's hearts. They are like a school of fish competing for the current, rolling in the sky with high and low joy.

"Woo, woo, ......woo"* stayed in the air for a short time, and then pounced on their target with a piercing whistling sound.

This is Goxinga's killer feature, a total of two carts of one hundred and six rounds*, and Goxinga will take them with him wherever he goes. They are Goxinga's last reliance, and Goxinga will not use them unless he has to. They are the 10,000 enemies of Goxinga, and as long as the enemy's formation is dense enough, they can really kill thousands of people at a time.

There are only two sets of launchers in Goxinga, and it is possible to launch so many * at once, thanks to the creativity of the previous life*. After calculating the launch angle on the hillside, the Qing army dug a soil slope at this angle on the hillside, and then put the * yard on the soil slope. * The goal is the first line of defense of the Qing army's own Dragon and Tiger Battalion, and for Guo Xing'a, the Dragon and Tiger Battalion defense line is his last resort. When the deep defense line was in an emergency, Guo Xing'a personally lit the fuse of *, he didn't think that he should do it next time the Taiping army attacked this position, he no longer had a card.

An explosion sounded like the sky was cracking, and the sky and the earth suddenly became dark, and the entire Dragon and Tiger Camp was shrouded in smoke and dust. When the dust gradually settled, Wu Ruxiao, who had been soaked with blood on half of his body, dragged the unconscious Gong Deshu and escaped from the smoke and dust with thousands of remnants who were not very conscious, and fled back to the Taiping army's main position.

It took a long time for the Qing army to return to their shattered first line of defense, which had been bombed, and they had no masonry and no wood, and they did something that made the Taiping army stunned. They carried the corpses of the Taiping soldiers near the position and began to repair the broken defensive line with the corpses of the soldiers. Even some of the soldiers of the Taiping Army were not dead, they were just wounded who could not move, or they were so lost and confused by the strong explosion that they were distracted, but the Qing army just used * to make them incapacitated, and put them on the trenches like sacks.

"Hold your mother! Follow me! The young King of England was furious, threw his precious bright yellow robe on the ground, revealing his close-fitting soft armor, and drew his waist knife to charge himself.

"Calm down!" Li Xiucheng rushed over all of a sudden, hugging Chen Yucheng's waist from behind.

"Your Highness, don't be reckless!" A cadre of cronies also rushed up and grabbed Chen Yucheng deadly.

"Guoxing, Lao Tzu swears to kill you brute who has lost all your conscience, you will not die well! Woo woo...... "Chen Yucheng struggled desperately and couldn't get rid of everyone, so he could only point at the direction of Lingyan Mountain with his waist knife and curse loudly, and finally looked at the limbs on the Qing army's defense line that occasionally moved and cried bitterly.

Everyone also wept and vowed to cut Guoxing A thousand times. Li Xiucheng arranged for someone to send Chen Yucheng back to rest, and sent someone to collect and treat Wu Ruxiao and others who had fled back, and then began to look at Lingyan Mountain and the Dragon and Tiger Camp in a daze.

"Your Highness, I'll lead someone to attack again!" Lu Shunde, whose eyes were red from crying, asked Li Xiucheng to fight.

"Forget it, let's cultivate first and stabilize the morale of the army! Meticulous planning, very spicy soldiers, breaking the enemy's heart, Jiangnan Qing Demon will be unsurpassed! Li Xiucheng shook his head a little desolately.

"This little demon is getting more and more vicious!" Huang Daping also sighed on the side.

"Conquest is killing, and where is there anything vicious or not. Daping! This king blamed you wrong, but this little demon is not easy to match. Although Huang Daping is still a long way from Li Xiucheng's love general, Li Xiucheng is a reasonable person.

Goxing Allen at the top of the mountain sneezed a few times, because he had been wronged, and the order to use people as fortification materials was really not given by him. China has always been a country where the dead are the greatest, and no one humiliates the corpse except for cutting off the head for meritorious service. This kind of idea that is a little lacking in morality, of course, was thought up by Bi Yuntao, who was sitting in the fort of the Dragon and Tiger camp, but Guoxing'a on the top of the mountain acquiesced, and blocked Fengsheng, who wanted to stop Bi Yuntao. Goxinga left Fengshenga by his side, and together they studied one of the weapons they had just delivered, the kind of artillery that could shoot in a curved fire.

As soon as the battle was over, Guo Xing'a sent people to find this mysterious weapon, and of course the soldiers did not recognize it, so they moved all the fifty artillery pieces discarded by the Taiping army to Guo Xing'a. Goxinga couldn't tell which one was, but he could tell which one wasn't, and finally Goxinga found this thing that looked a bit like a bucket or a big clock.

This thing is a kind of mortar cannon, and it is obviously domestic, and it is inscribed: "In the twenty-ninth year of the Kangxi reign of the Qing Dynasty, the imperial Weiyuan general in Jingshan, the first-class guard of the imperial front of the superintendent, the supervising official Wailang Han Li, the pen post style bag, the craftsman: Yi Bangzheng, Li Wende." Although it is an antique in the Kangxi period, Guo Xing'a is very interested in it, I don't know how the performance of this thing is, and it may be able to be used for heavy mortars if it is transformed.

"General Weiyuan!" Feng Sheng'a, who came up the mountain to report the battle situation, recognized this treasure at a glance.

"You know?" Guo Xing'a is very curious that the nerd Fengsheng'a actually knows artillery.

"My lord, aren't there two gates on the wall of our Gu'an city! When you were a child, the old leader and Uncle Sai ...... And a few of us, and a few of your brothers have taken them to play! How do you ......" Feng Sheng'a didn't say anything halfway, he was also a little dizzy, and forgot about Guoxing's amnesia for a while.

"How far can this thing hit!" Guo Xinga doesn't know when he was a child.

"Three miles! I remember that time I also fired a cannon and smashed down an old lady's house in Xiguan, and the old leader was blackmailed with 200 yuan! Feng Sheng'a fell into good memories, but it also revealed that these Eight Banners disciples were really not good people when they were at home.

Guoxing's family basically died in battle, and they were full of loyalty, but they didn't do much when they were at home. As a local military chief, in order to amuse the children, he actually bombarded the houses of ordinary people's families, which is really speechless. And even the attitude of the saint disciple Fengsheng Adu taking this matter as a joke knows how outrageous the children of the Eight Banners are. Moreover, he lost money by destroying people's houses, and said that people were blackmailing, which really made Guo Xinga speechless.

"Sanli, good thing, that's it!" Guo Xing'a didn't have time to reminisce about the bastard days of the Eight Banners, and he thought about the development direction of General Weiyuan's artillery.
