"You can forge cannons!" Goxinga walked very kindly to the front of the firing squad.

"I will, the contract he signed with the Taiping Army not only includes eight finished twelve-pounder cannons, but also assists the Taiping Army in casting ten twelve-pounder cannons, and I am the technician responsible for casting these cannons!" The white man pointed to the bearded corpse that had been dragged away, and spoke very clearly.

"Can you please demonstrate this?" Goxinga's posture of outstretching his right hand is very elegant.

The white man who had been untied from the rope, under the close protection and escort of four Qing soldiers, walked to the cart where the tools were stacked and assembled them skillfully.

"Very good! Sir, you can live, and you can live well! Goxinga bowed slightly to the white man.

"Please go down and rest! Eat and drink well, and find two pairs of shackles of more than 20 pounds to lock him up, don't let him run away! Guo Xing'a commanded with a grin.

"Is there anyone else who has any talents?" Goxinga turned back to the innocent condemned prisoners for advice.

"I know how to cook...... Singing...... Horses...... I ......" people who are hoping for survival are talking about it, but it is all very boring skills, such as "being able to eat 30 buns in a row".

Guo Xing'a still turned around and waved his hand, and the gunshots rang out, and dozens of corpses were dragged away. Moreover, Guo Xing'a specially confessed that all the bodies of white people were cremated, and no one could be left with a chance to find trouble. The Qing army often did things to kill people and sell goods, but it is difficult to ensure that no one under his command will leak his mouth, so it is better to be careful.

The artillery was reequipped with twelve-pounder Napoleonic guns, and the manpower was a little tight. An artillery company of the American army had only six Napoleonic guns, while the Qing army had eight in two platoons, and three twelve-pounder* guns were rich. Guo Xing'a, who drove the ducks to the shelves, could only keep everything simple, and the original artillery ammunition and transportation was done by the supply company, but now it has completely become the task of the supply company engineers. Normally, a Napoleonic cannon requires an artillery squad of ten people to operate, but Guo Xinga directly changed it to five people. One ammunition man, one cartridge pusher, one gun commander, two shooters, one squad can serve three guns, and the extra people just take care of the three twelve-pounder* guns. In this way, although the life is a little rougher, but the utilization rate has increased.

As for the small cannons of the six-pounder cannon, Guo Xing'a can't take care of it now, Bi Yuntao has two, Tong Jia has two, and Chengtai has one, so they will be divided. As for the use of these cannons in this way, the three of them could only go to Kong Zhen to learn from them. Kong Zhen was still very responsible for taking people to various companies to teach experience, but Chengtai and Tong Jia were still a little blind, so they could only let their guards take on the errand of artillery first. And Bi Yuntao's Coke blossomed, but he asked Guo Xing'a for a few cannons, and this time he gave two at a time, which can be said to be what he wanted. Not only did some of his subordinates go to the artillery to steal the master and learn the arts, but even Bi Yuntao himself can now be regarded as a half-drawn artilleryman, but as long as he has kung fu, he will go to see others firing artillery.

Guo Xing'a made such a loud noise early in the morning, how could Huang Daping, who had not slept all night, not know that he had lined up early to prepare for the siege. But he was afraid that Guoxing would be deceitful, so he waited until the city had stopped and the rising sun rose above his head before he ordered the siege of the city.

But the offensive lasted less than an hour before it ended, and Huang Daping reluctantly gave the order to retreat. The eight Napoleonic cannons played a role in turning the tide of the war, and the already one-sided battle situation completely collapsed after the Napoleonic cannons were added. With an accurate range of up to three miles, coupled with the height of the city walls, as soon as the slightly sized contingent of the Taiping army showed up, a cannonball whistled. The terrifying power that could penetrate the entire company column made the Taiping army's offensive fall into scattered sand every time it had just been organized.

Enfield M1853 also began to shoot at the cluster target, the ruler was adjusted to 1,000 meters, and began to shoot at the vague figure of the Taiping Army in the distance. The Qing army was mainly familiar with the weapons in their hands, but the Taiping army was really killed and wounded many soldiers. Seeing that there was no hope, Huang Daping had to order a retreat, and if he continued to be entangled like this, there was no point in wasting the lives of the soldiers.

Huang Daping, who lacked heavy weapons, was powerless in the face of the furious Napoleonic cannons. But with such an elite army and such a heavy loss, how could Huang Daping explain to Shangfeng. Huang Daping, who was difficult to ride a tiger, had to turn his attention to the other three open city gates.

In the city, Goxinga was playing a scoundrel with Big Peter, and Goxinga kept all the property that Big Peter had been robbed by the bearded man on behalf of him on the grounds that Big Peter had no guards, and said that he would return it to him next time Big Peter brought the guards. Big Peter didn't agree or object, but looked at Goxinga with tears in his eyes. After some bargaining, Goxinga made an exception and gave Big Peter two pistols and ten gold bars. And Big Peter had to get back countless chemicals and weapons tools for Goshinga in order to get back his detained belongings.

Bidding farewell to Big Peter, Guo Xing'a met Yu Wendao, who had fought with Xiande, at the gate of the inner urn city. Guo Xinga looked at the empty street and admired this person who dared to go out at this time. Yu Wendao didn't have too much politeness, his intention was very simple, he hoped that Guo Xing'a would open the arsenal blocked by the Qing army and distribute weapons to the people in the city. And he Yu Wendao, as the patriarch, led the people of the city to the city to help the Qing army defend the city and resist the long-haired bandits.

"Have you been to the arsenal?" Guo Xing'a only took the firearms and * in the arsenal, and the bows, arrows and swords in it were still there, and after the Qing army entered the urn city, there was no one to guard it.

"I went in the morning, and the officers and soldiers put up a seal!" Yu Wendao said honestly.

"Then no one is watching, you can just go in and get it." Guo Xinga couldn't understand what this young man who had a fight with Xiande was all about.

"We need adult permission, we don't want to be misunderstood by adults!" Yu Wendao was very calm.

"It's not easy to grow hair outside, you're not afraid of death!" Guo Xing'a didn't understand why Yu Wendao, who could stay out of the matter, got involved.

"We don't want to be separated anymore, they want to demolish our home, so we will fight with them." Yu Wendao is a bit of a sacrifice for righteousness.

"You don't seem to have a family!" Guo Xinga remembered that Yu Wendao was brought back by a neighbor.

"I don't have a family anymore, but there are still those tablets, and I'm still the patriarch of this town!" Yu Wendao puffed up his chest.

"Take someone and get it! Our officers and troops only defend the inner and outer urn cities, and the other three sides are handed over to you. If you can't resist it, you can move closer to us, but the officials and soldiers will not let you enter the inner and outer urn cities. Guo Xing'a said very seriously and explained to Yu Wendao.

"Don't worry, sir!" Yu Wendao bowed to the ground and turned around to leave.

"Wait, the elderly, children, and frail women can go into the Inner Urn City to hide!" Guo Xing'a looked at Yu Wendao's back and added.

"No need to be a sir, our family will not be separated again, no matter what happens!" Yu Wendao said firmly, and then turned around and left in a dashing manner.

Looking at Yu Wendao's resolute back, a word popped up in Guo Xing's mind - hero. Although it is not clear why Yu Wendao is and why the people in the town were still in the Taiping Army a few days ago, Guo Xing'a agrees with them very much.

"My lord, beware of fraud!" Feng Sheng'a was not at ease with Wen Dao.

"That's a man, I believe him." Xiande suddenly appeared.

"They were still hairy a few days ago, what if they take the device and the outside of the hair?" Feng Sheng'a argued.

"It's not like they haven't done it with us with bricks, and no one is watching the arsenal, so why bother to come and tell us." Hyundek trusts the young man who beat him up.

"It's just paralyzing us!" Fengsheng Ah did not hesitate to contradict Xiande's persistence.

"We didn't guard the other three gates, what did they paralyze us?" Xiande felt that Feng Sheng'a was a little too nervous. And the previous argument of doubting everything was the line of his virtuous old man, Feng Sheng'a is a bit of a word grabbing today.

"They can take the opportunity to climb the city wall and create convenient conditions for a sneak attack on us!" What Feng Sheng'a said is not unreasonable.

"In short, I believe him!" Xiande also felt that Feng Sheng's suspicion was somewhat justified, but he still firmly believed that Yu Wendao was not this kind of person.

"Rare...... It's rare to ......" Guo Xinga ignored the argument between the two and walked away with his hands behind his back. I don't know if it's because it's rare to say that it's rare for Yu Wendao, or if it's rare for Xiande to believe in someone else.

Guo Xing'a has an indescribable good impression of Yu Wendao, and feels from the bottom of his heart that Yu Wendao can be trusted, but it is not that there are no doubts. The reason why he supported Yu Wendao without hesitation was because Guo Xing'a himself was in a predicament, and the Qing army also needed to break the situation.

Although the Taiping army suffered heavy casualties and did not even touch a single brick, Huang Daping still had more than 3,000 people under his command, and all of them were equipped with rifled guns. The Qing army, which was short of troops, did not have the ability to go out of the city and completely annihilate the enemy five times in one battle. The two sides are deadlocked in a war of attrition, although Goxinga's military materials can afford to carry, but Guoxinga is fighting on the outside line, and there will be no reinforcements. Huang Daping is in the hinterland of his family, even if he fights with Guo Xing'a for a few months, he can afford to eat, not to mention that he can still call people. 3,000 people can't gnaw on the defense line of Guoxing'a, and 30,000 people are afraid that they will be able to tear down the city wall.

Guo Xinga regretted his previous greed for money, and if he escaped in time, although he would not have lost Napoleon's cannon, he would not be in trouble. At present, the Qing army is not surrounded and killed by the Taiping army, so it is necessary to take advantage of the opportunity of Huang Da's equal division of troops, break through one point and then break out. However, Guo Xing'a's ambush in the inner and outer urn cities knocked Huang Daping out of the psychological shadow, and Huang Daping did not dare to make any moves in the face of the other three city gates that sang the empty city plan.

Yu Wendao led the people in the town to ask for war is the first variable, and it is also an opportunity, and the confrontation between the Qing army and the Taiping army is likely to change because of them. As long as the people go to the city, Huang Daping will either retreat because of insufficient troops, or he will divide his troops in other directions, no matter which one it is, Guoxinga will have the opportunity to retreat from the whole province. Even if Huang Daping did not move, the Qing army immediately ran away from the other three city gates, and the people on the city wall could also play a role in blocking and covering the Qing army.

"My lord, a small force of long-haired troops has entered the city from the west gate." When Guo Xing'a was still thinking about it, Fuquan came to report the news that the Taiping army had entered the city.

"I don't know, are they ready?" Guo Xing'a looked at Taiyuan at noon and muttered to himself.
