Chapter 155: The Gap

Although Luo Bingzhang, the governor of Hunan, misjudged the direction of the Taiping army, this person was not a person with wine bags and rice bags. From the moment the Taiping army entered Hunan, he began to repair the dilapidated walls of Changsha City. In order to raise the cost of repair, he even took the lead in donating 300 taels of silver, and under his leadership, other officials also responded, and finally made up the cost.

The original city walls of Changsha City have collapsed in many places, and some city gates have long been unable to be closed, and many battlements are gone. After this period of emergency repair, although it is not solid, at least it is not so unbearable, and it looks a little better.

"This idiot!" When Governor Luo received the news of the loss of Myokoling, he couldn't help but curse the chief soldier Fucheng. He had already sent the information over, but this Fu general soldier ignored it, and finally the army was defeated and died. These Eight Banners are really rotten, and they can't blame others for their own death.

"Vice Admiral Deng, transfer all the cannons from the north gate to the south gate, I think Changmao will attack the city from here tomorrow." Governor Luo knew that there was a city wall at the south gate that had just been repaired, and it was not very stable. Since the Taiping army has captured the Myoko Ridge outside the south gate, the Taiping army will never let go of this weak point.

"Yes, Governor." Vice General Deng is now the highest-ranking military general in Changsha City, and the only general that Governor Luo can rely on.

"Why hasn't Admiral Bao arrived yet? It's been half a month, so send someone to urge. Because Xiang Rong led his troops into Hunan, Governor Luo ordered Bao Qibao, who was in Yongzhou, to change his guard with them half a month ago, and asked him to come to Changsha to help.

"Admiral Bao should be nearby, the general just sent someone to urge him at the end of yesterday." Vice Admiral Deng replied.

"Again, it's 100,000 urgent. There are less than 8,000 defenders in Changsha City, and the bandits will capture our city at any time, and now is the time when every second counts. Governor Luo also hoped that Admiral Bao would arrive before the Taiping army attacked the city, so that the pressure would be much less.

Xiao Chaogui on Myoko Ridge was also ready for battle, although there were only 5,000 men and horses, he was very confident in the soldiers under him, and these were the elite soldiers who followed him all the way. As soon as a gap could be opened in the wall, a large group of men rushed in. Xiao Chaogui is very confident in winning Changsha City.

"The color of this section outside the south gate is different from the one next to it, it must be newly repaired by the Qing Demon. Tomorrow all the cannons will be fired at this section of the wall, and it will definitely open an opening for this place. Xiao Chaogui really saw the weakness of the southern city wall at a glance.

"Who's going to lead tomorrow?" Xiao Chaogui looked at the generals under his command.

"I'm coming!" Lin Fengxiang has always been in charge at this time.

"Okay, I'll leave it to you, you must take Changsha in one go, and this king will give you the first credit!" Xiao Chaogui patted Lin Fengxiang on the shoulder, and he was also very confident in him.

Early the next morning, the Taiping army set up a position at the south gate, and the cannons captured from the Qing army were lined up on the Myoko Ridge, revealing the muzzles of the black holes, and the governor Luo on the city wall was terrified.

"Vice Admiral Deng, are you ready?" Governor Luo was still not at ease.

"It's all ready, and the last general is ready even his own coffin. Governor, please rest assured, if you want to enter the city, you will step on the last general first. "This Vice Admiral Deng is a good man.

With the bursts of artillery bombardment by the Taiping army, the section of the southern city wall that had just been repaired was really crumbling, and finally it could not be supported and collapsed, revealing a hole of more than 20 meters.

"Brothers, rush with me and kill the demons!" Lin Fengxiang waved his banner, and his soldiers rushed over.

The angry war drums sounded, the loud horns blew, and the shouts of killing resounded through the sky, and Lin Fengxiang's troops launched a charge against the gap in the city wall.

The Qing cannons on the city wall also opened fire, and the shells shuttled through the crowd of the Taiping army, some people were hit and fell, and many more rushed to the city wall faster. These were veterans, and they knew that only by rushing to the city walls would the cannonballs not hit.

Soon, Lin Fengxiang's men and horses rushed under the city wall. The artillery fire of the Qing army was ineffective, but the well-prepared lieutenant general Deng had the archers on the city wall launch a fierce fire on the Taiping army.

"Raise your shield! The archers in the back cover up, and the brothers in front stick up and fight them fiercely! Lin Fengxiang gave an order.

The men and horses on both sides finally collided at the gap, and the people in front were the shields against the shields, crowded with each other. Spears weave through the gaps, and from time to time there are screams from those who have been stabbed.

"Adjutant General, our archers are so crushed by the long hair that they can't lift their heads, and the brothers in front of us are a little unable to stand it, what should we do?" Lin Fengxiang's troops were really brave, and after a burst of shock, the situation became favorable to the Taiping army.

"Stones, rolling wood, boiling water, all that can be used is used by Lao Tzu, it must be resisted, the team is pressed against the formation, and those who take a step back will be killed!" Vice Admiral Deng's face was fierce, as long as the long hair rushed into the city, it would be all over, and they must be stopped at the city wall.

The Qing army took out all the defensive weapons at the bottom of the box, and the gap in the wall became a meat grinder, and people kept falling, and people kept rushing forward with their corpses. Although Lin Fengxiang stepped forward to attack many times, under the crazy resistance of the Qing army, he returned again and again in vain.

"Li Kaifang, you go and pick up Lin Fengxiang and give him more strength!" Xiao Chaogui anxiously watched the battle situation in front of him, and saw that Lin Fengxiang couldn't attack for a long time, so he asked Li Kaifang to help.

With the addition of Li Kaifang's new force, the Taiping army was stimulated, and the balance of the battlefield fell to the side of the Taiping army again.

The Taiping army began to move forward, and it seemed that they were about to reach the gap in the city wall.

"Lord Adjutant General, the brothers in front of us are almost exhausted, we really can't stand it." A thousand general managers who came back from the gap cried.

"Don't take a step back, violators will be killed!" Vice General Deng pulled out his knife with a cold face and slashed the Qian general to death.

"Overseer, rush with me!" Vice General Deng led the team to go into battle in person, and the morale of the Qing army was boosted.

"Damn the bandits, die!" While cursing, Vice General Deng cut down several Taiping soldiers with his saber in a row, and frantically launched a counterattack against the Taiping army at the gap.

Lin Fengxiang noticed the abnormality of the Qing army and knew that it was the official of the Qing demon. He raised his eyebrows and swung his machete to meet him.

The two knives collided, and the power was suddenly revealed. Lin Fengxiang's strength advantage was obvious, and Vice General Deng felt cowardly, his wrist was sore, and his saber almost fell to the ground.

"Who's coming?" Vice General Deng was a little surprised, his strength was already one of the best in the battalion, but compared to this one, it was far behind.

"It's your grandfather Lin Fengxiang." Lin Fengxiang didn't wait for him to catch his breath, and the second knife slashed next.

Vice General Deng was furious, and he didn't know how much he could to take the move again, this time it was miserable, and Lin Fengxiang's second knife was even more powerful. Vice General Deng's mouth cracked, and he could no longer hold the saber, and the knife fell to the ground with a clatter.

"Take your life!" Lin Fengxiang's third knife followed closely and flung over, these three moves were one move after another, one move was faster than the other, and one move was fiercer than the other. The third knife passed through the neck of Vice General Deng, and Vice General Deng's head fell to the ground and died on the spot.

"Brothers, rush!" The morale of the Taiping army was greatly boosted, and the soldiers in the front row finally crossed the gap in the city wall, and dozens of people had already rushed into the city of Changsha.

Seeing that the city of Changsha was about to be occupied by the Taiping army.
