The sky is cloudless, the wind is beautiful, outside the city of Yong'an, the autumn air is solemn, and the yellow leaves are all over the ground. Li Linluo's three men and horses had already lined up in their agreed formations, and the people were neighing, gearing up, and the commanders made the final mobilization for the war, just waiting for Xiao Chaogui to give the final attack order.

On Yong'an City, the Qing army also felt the pressure from the Taiping army. The prefect Wu Jiang asked the big families in the city to gather 5,000 taels of silver, packed it in a box and put it on the battle platform. On the spot, it was announced that for each bandit killed, a reward of five taels of silver would be used to boost their morale. People die for money, birds die for food, who doesn't love the silver of white flowers? There were boxes of silver pressed into the formation, and the morale of the Qing army was really much higher.

Taking advantage of the fact that everyone was not paying attention, Arjinga quietly pulled a crony to his side and whispered, "Have you done what I told you?" ”

The cronies also replied in a low voice, "Don't worry, my lord." We have not blocked the west gate, and the horses are ready, so that the adults can go out through the west gate at any time. ”

Aljinga was not at ease, and said again: "Haven't you been discovered by the prefect?" ”

The cronies immediately replied: "Absolutely not, this Wu Governor is a dead brain, if he has to live and die with the city, we must not let him know." ”

Arjinga smiled disdainfully: "He is the number one in this place, if he runs away, the decree of the court will not spare him." We are different from him, as long as we resist, it is our ability to run away in the end. The Holy One is very kind to us, even if the above blames us, as long as we make some money and let the adults say a few words for us, we can be safe. We can't bury this dead old man here. ”

The cronies smiled and said, "That's that, my lord is wise." ”

"Boom, boom." Three artillery shots rang out, and the Taiping army gave the signal to attack.

Lin Fengxiang's troops rushed the fastest, they let the two Sima carry the flag and rush to the front, Wu Chang was in the back to protect, and the others followed behind with cloud ladders, ready to capture the city gate with lightning speed.

This trick is very risky, allowing low-level generals to rush to the front, which is the most useful for improving morale, and also plays a leading role in demonstration, but if the attack is frustrated, these low-level generals will lose too much, and it will be difficult to organize the offensive behind, and it will become a hammer deal. Lin Fengxiang put all his bets on this first wave of offensive, and released the winner and loser when he came up. It seems very risky, but it actually makes a lot of sense, and it is actually more likely to climb the walls and open the gates before the enemy can react. If you drag it to the back, wait for the defenders to get used to the defense, and the experience of defense will be tacit, but the further you go, the smaller the chance of attacking.

Dozens of two Sima and Wu Chang lined up in more than a dozen teams, like a tiger descending from a mountain, and went straight to the southern city wall of Yong'an. Lin Fengxiang thought that there was one less watchtower on the southern wall, and the defense might be weak. But because of this, the focus of the defense of the Yong'an Qing army was on the south side, and the regular army on the city wall was all large, and there were no recruited brave soldiers.

Under the roar of artillery fire and the rain of arrows, Lin Fengxiang's group of stormtroopers had already fallen a lot. Some of the lucky ones rushed to the city and stubbornly erected the ladder, and the two leading horses climbed desperately. The rolling wood and stones on the city wall beckoned down again, and smashed the people on the ladder down, and for a while there were screams again and again.

Lin Fengxiang watched the battle on the front line, clenching his teeth, his heart was dripping blood, this is all his elite, many of them are old brothers who joined the God Worship Sect with him, and they all fell under the city wall.

Even in such a difficult situation, there were still one or two heroic Taiping soldiers who climbed the southern city wall, and Lin Fengxiang was a little excited, as if he saw the dawn of victory. He yelled and asked the soldiers in charge of the palace to follow. He himself rushed forward with a dozen guards.

The Taiping army under the city used bows and arrows to shoot at the Qing army above, although they did not have the upper hand, but they also slightly suppressed the strength of the guards on the city wall.

Lin Fengxiang came to the city gate with a giant axe and slammed the city gate. The city gate, which was a few meters thick, was smashed a little loose by his brute force, and it buzzed incessantly. The rushing car behind finally followed. The huge conical pillar slammed into the city gate violently under the push of many people, and the city gate was finally knocked open, but everyone found that the back of the city gate had been sealed by the Qing Demon with a boulder, and their hearts were half cold.

The morale of the Taiping Army has been used to the extreme, but time is not on the side of the Taiping Army. Usually the defending side will fight to the death to save their lives, but the attacking side is not willing to die easily. After all, there are only a few who are not afraid of death, and most of the Taiping troops who are besieging the city are ordinary peasants, and they have never seen such a tragic siege battle. They were frightened by the steady stream of arrows and arrows, and there was a serious disconnect between the attacking teams. After all, there were only a few people who attacked the city wall, but the follow-up teams did not keep up. Soon, the people on the city wall were surrounded by the Qing army defending the city with spears and broadswords.

Lin Fengxiang knew that the spirit of the attack had been lost, and he didn't want the team to suffer any more senseless losses, so after a long sigh, he had to order the whole army to retreat.

Li Kaifang's troops in the north were more conservative, and he rushed to make five ten-meter-high simple building carts, pushed them to about 150 paces away from the city wall, and let the archers stand on them to shoot at the Qing army defending the city. The effect was really good, and it really suppressed the archers on the city wall for a while.

Li Kaifang was very excited, and was about to order the soldiers to attack the city, when the Qing army on the city wall took a shit luck. The cannon that had a poor hit rate miraculously destroyed two building cars, and the other two building cars also collapsed under the huge force of the explosion. The last building car was difficult to support alone, and the Qing army shot rockets with bows and arrows, burning the last building car of the Taiping Army, so angry that Li Kaifang scolded his mother again and again and was helpless.

If Li Kaifang played conservatively, then Luo Outline in the east was simply a stroke of luck. Xiao Chaogui did not allow him to gamble with the water army easily, and he could only rely on the cannons on the Lookout Ridge to try his luck.

Luo Xuan's luck is really bad, his cannonballs either fly, or not far enough, in short, dozens of cannons did not touch the walls of the Qing army, it seems that the cannonballs have their own dodge skills.

Finally, a cannon finally hit the edge of the city wall, and only a deep cannon mark was smashed. The city wall of Yong'an is about four or five meters thick, and Luo Xuan estimated that at least three cannons must be fired at the same position before there is a chance to blow down the city wall, and at present, it seems that this chance is too slim and almost impossible. Soon the barrels of the Taiping army's guns were red, and Luo Xuan asked his subordinates to cool the cannons with water and rest for a while. It seems that he has little chance of capturing Yong'an here.

Yang Xiaoshan took Chen Yucheng and more than 100 others to hide outside the West Gate and never showed up. The other three sides were already in full swing, but he was unmoved, and never let the team be exposed.

When half an hour had passed, the first thing he said startled Chen Yucheng, "You ask a few brothers to report to Li Junshuai and Lin Junshuai, and say that our side has broken through the city gate, and let them quickly bring troops to support." ”

Chen Yucheng looked at Yang Xiaoshan in disbelief and asked puzzledly: "We haven't moved here yet, where did we break through the city gate?" ”

Yang Xiaoshan said seriously: "When they come, they will break through, you let people go quickly." ”

Chen Yucheng glanced at Yang Xiaoshan seriously, and saw that he really didn't seem to be joking, so he had to agree stubbornly. Even though he was full of confidence in Yang Xiaoshan, he was still a little worried that the cowhide would blow up. You must know that there is no joke in the army, big brother, don't play with me.
