Li Xuanqing's arrival shocked the morale of the front line, and the pace of the Tiance army's siege of the city also quietly accelerated, Xuanyingwei's side reached a critical point after concentrating on transporting fifty or sixty thousand people, Hu Xiaosi began to return to the front line camp after a little hesitation, and discussed with Wang Houchun to prepare to use the tunnel to transport soldiers into the city to participate in the siege of Liu Changlu.

"Little Four, do you mean we send troops into the city?" Xue Wanli was a little puzzled: "Then what about the remaining fifty or sixty thousand refugees?" One less day will kill a lot of people. Besides, how many people can you transport into the city in a short period of time? ”

Hu Xiaosi's opinion made Wang Houchun nod and said: "This method is not bad, as long as you can transport two or three battalions into the city, you can achieve the purpose of a surprise attack." It's just that this frontal corps must complete the response in a short time, otherwise the army entering the city will definitely be divided and surrounded by the opponent's superior forces. ”

"Wanli, how is your boat bridge going now?" Yang Tiancheng has been reetting refugees for the past two days, and he has not paid much attention to the fighting on the front line, so he asked: "Can you finish laying it in half a day?" ”

"I'm afraid it will take three days to arrive, the moat in Guangzhou is too weird, and it will take time for Chai Jia." Xue Wanli said solemnly: "We have thought of several ways in the past few days. ”

In this way, when Xiao Si goes back, he will take the two battalions from the northwest side into the city in concealment, and tell Chai Jia to take a battalion to act tonight and then follow into the city. In this way, three days should be enough to transport 30,000 people into the city. Three days later, the two sides acted at the same time, and the troops entering the city had to find a way to attract the attention of the Cantonese troops in the city, cover the Zhouqiao troops to speed up, and buy time for the demomen. Wang Houchun thought about it and began to arrange: "When the time comes, Xiao Si will take the Flying Eagle Brigade into the Jiedu Embassy Mansion and take Liu Changlu for me." ”

With the arrival of Li Xuanqing, the Tiance Army quietly changed its deployment, and Guangzhou City also entered the countdown. However, at this time, Liu Changlu was busy contacting Ye Guangluo and others in the western region, trying to get the other party to send troops to support, but he was blocked by the Tiance army in Duanzhou, and he couldn't advance or retreat. At the beginning, the Duanzhou Tiance Army did not receive serious damage in the last typhoon because of its occupation of the city, and the Duanzhou Mansion Treasury was full, so it had been busy helping the people after the disaster, but it did not expect that at this time, it would become the biggest obstacle to Ye Guangluo's eastward arrival.

However, even at this time, Ye Guangluo led the army to come, and he was no longer able to compete with the Tiance army, and Chen Yu's brigade also went to the west of Guangzhou after resting, preparing to carry out the mission of going north while Guangzhou was captured. The strategy of the Tiance Army has been changed again and again due to the typhoon, but at this time it has entered the harvest season. Qian Ning and Li Tianyi's corps also made a detour to Shaozhou and rushed westward to attack Lianzhou and Hezhou, and the Xue Yang Corps on the northern front did not go south from Yongzhou and other places this time, but went directly towards the Qiqi garrison.

In the middle of September of the second year of the Apocalypse, Li Xuanqing came to the front line in Guangzhou, at this time the Tiance Army had made all the preparations, and the two groups of men and horses were already in place and waiting for Yang Tiancheng's order. For this battle, the frontal corps pushed out all the more than 500 ballistae under the command, and the two mechanical crossbows were also neatly arranged in front of the battlefield, and even in case, Xue Wanli also concentrated two artillery squadrons waiting in the rear. It's just that now although the Tiance Army has developed artillery, its huge size and weight have discouraged most of the army, and the Eastern Front still relies on sea transportation to drag these behemoths to the city of Guangzhou, and the other two roads have no way to use them.

"Tiancheng, when the time comes, give the order." Li Xuanqing also arrived at the battlefield command platform, looked at the time, and nodded to Yang Tiancheng who was waiting beside him. The latter immediately raised the trumpet flag and began to convey the general's order, "The artillery battalion is ready for two quarters of an hour, the mechanical crossbow suppresses the counterattack of the tower, the boat bridge troops immediately begin the final laying work, and the siege troops immediately prepare." "The orders were quickly issued, and more than 500 explosive bags from the artillery battalion that launched the attack at the first time took off and flew towards Guangzhou City, this kind of explosive weapon made the Guangdong army miserable, so this time I saw so many explosive bags coming towards me, and the soldiers of the Guangdong army, who almost had no defensive power, looked for various bunkers to avoid the explosion almost without thinking.

The explosion caused by more than 500 explosives bags was directly comparable to a small earthquake, and the huge fireball completely submerged the eastern city of Guangzhou, completely destroyed the towers of the eastern city of the sky-high pillar of smoke, and scattered earth, rock, bricks and tiles in all directions, killing many soldiers of the Cantonese army who had no time to dodge on the spot. Taking advantage of this time, the boat bridge troops have begun to tow wooden boats to the center of the moat, tie them with ropes, tie them up, fix them, and finally lay them on wooden planks, and connect them forward little by little.

"It seems that there is no need for the troops entering the city to cover the frontal corps, and send a signal to inform them to immediately enter the attack, so as to completely disrupt the city of Guangzhou for me. Let Xiaosi take the Flying Eagle Brigade to give me life Liu Changlu, I want to see what this eunuch king looks like. Li Xuanqing looked at the city of Guangzhou and was shrouded in smoke clouds and explosions, and nodded and asked Yang Tiancheng to immediately release the smoke rockets and notify the city to unfold immediately.

Today's smoke rockets have been specially improved by the equipment department, not only the range has been greatly increased, reaching an unprecedented distance of more than ten miles, but also the combustion part specially added with incendiary agents and pigments has not only increased its thrust a lot, but also endured, becoming the best weapon for the military to give orders on the battlefield for a long time, and it is also an epoch-making weapon for the Tiance Army, which is increasingly multi-corps and cooperating with operations.

At this time, Chai Jia in the city saw the smoke and rockets streaking across the sky, and immediately stopped hiding it, and led the army to suddenly kill from all over the city, and quickly assembled under the guidance of the pre-arranged Xuanying Guard's secret guards, and then split up to kill the Cantonese soldiers who were on guard in the city. This incident plunged the city of Guangzhou into chaos, and the Cantonese army, which was supposed to be massing towards the eastern city, was scattered, and Chai Jia occupied a large area in the west of the city by surprise.

"Immediately notify the ministries separately to kill me in the Jie Du Embassy and pick up the Flying Eagle Brigade." Chai Jia roared angrily, and then rushed out of Xicheng with more than 2,000 people gathered around him.

Guangzhou City as the largest city in Lingnan, the scale is grand, thanks to the prosperous overseas trade a hundred years ago, there are countless buildings in the city, although it has been destroyed by the Huangchao rebel army, but the recovery of Liu Yin's father and son has cleared most of the ruins over the years, and many places have people inhabited, so the number of more than 30,000 Tiance troops in the city is too scarce, and Chai Jia can only let the soldiers give up and occupy other places, and concentrate all his forces towards the center of the city with the most tightly defended.

The reinforcements in Xicheng were intercepted in the chaos in the west and the east city, in fact, Liu Changlu also got the news very quickly. Although he couldn't figure out how the Bai Ce army mixed into the city, Liu Changlu did not dwell on this problem, but sent the main force of the Yue army defending the Jiedu Embassy out to prepare to kill the Tian Ce army in the city first. Liu Changlu is still very confident in the defense of Dongcheng, as long as the other party can't cross the moat, then even if the explosives package is powerful, it is impossible to directly blow up the city wall of Dongcheng, so although Liu Changlu's soldiers and horses in Dongcheng suffered heavy losses due to the explosion, he still insisted on solving the chaos in the city first.

His dispatch naturally increased the pressure on Chai Jia, the Tiance army that entered the city has not yet been fully assembled at the moment, many Tiance troops are still fighting with the Guangdong army everywhere, Chai Jia only has more than 10,000 people to rush to the gate of the Jiedu embassy in time, but he has to face the opponent's troops several times more than at the same time, coupled with the terrain advantage The local battle of the Guangdong army made the Tiance army retreat step by step, and almost pressed back directly.

Although Chai Jia fought very hard, he still played a role in containing the main force of the Guangdong army, and with the arrival of the follow-up Tiance Army soldiers one after another, relying on the absolutely strong combat power After retreating for a distance, Chai Jia also began to use the surrounding buildings and houses to fight positional battles with the other party. As a result, a stalemate formed in the city. Chai Jia is not in a hurry, but Liu Changlu's Cantonese army is beginning to be anxious, although there is no problem in Dongcheng in the short term, but if he is continued to be pinned down by this Tiance army, the other party will definitely take advantage of this time to break through the moat desperately, thinking of this Liu Changlu couldn't sit still, and began to go to the front line to arrange an attack, commanding the Cantonese army to increase its efforts.

However, Chai Jia laughed when he saw Liu Changlu's figure appear on the battlefield, although the Flying Eagle Brigade didn't know where it was, but Liu Changlu's appearance meant that his death time had come. It's just that he didn't know if Hu Xiaosi was entangled in whether there was a way to live the emperor of Guangzhou, so the attack was delayed.

"Boss, can't wait any longer. If it really doesn't work, I will rush over with the Flying Eagle Brigade, although I may not be able to capture him alive, but I am sure that I will take Liu Changlu within a quarter of an hour. Su Xiaohu couldn't wait, and urged Hu Xiaosidao.

"Forget it, you guys act, I really can't think of any way to capture this guy alive." Hu Xiaosi shook his head and smiled bitterly Su Xiaohu prepared by himself, and he himself quietly left the battlefield with the main force of Xuanying Wei and headed towards the Jiedu Embassy, although Liu Changlu may not be able to capture him alive, but the wealth accumulated by the Liu family in Guangzhou for two generations must be all in hand, otherwise this Guangzhou city will be in vain.

And Su Xiaohu immediately ordered the Flying Eagle Brigade around him to quickly cross the battle line of the two armies and insert it into the position of the Guangdong army from behind. The strength of the Flying Eagle Brigade is not comparable to that of the ordinary Tiance Army, and various means are endless, and the stunned Cantonese army can't stop this group of wolf-like soldiers at all, and the other party has assaulted all the way to the vicinity of Liu Changlu.

At this time, Liu Changlu was also stunned by this group of small troops that rushed into his own front as if they were in a no-man's land, and it was obvious that the other party's purpose was to come at him. Therefore, almost without hesitation, he directly asked the arch guard troops around him to immediately step forward to intercept the Flying Eagle Brigade.

Su Xiaohu smiled coldly when he saw the Yue army coming towards him, waved his hand behind him, and saw a pair of Flying Eagle Brigade soldiers step forward instantly, took out black things like clay pots from their bodies, lit them, and then threw them towards the crowd, and exploded in the other party's stunned eyes.

"Haha, this grenade is really powerful. Come again, throw it at me. San'er, wait for your manpower to bypass me and capture Liu Changlu alive while the chaos is in chaos. Su Xiaohu laughed, obviously satisfied with the power of the grenade explosion, and ordered his subordinates to continue projecting, while letting the third team immediately make a detour to capture Liu Changlu alive.

The continuous explosion advanced all the way under the command of Su Xiaohu, and the Cantonese army that came to intercept was almost impossible to unite with the enemy, most of them were blown to the ground, and the pace of the Flying Eagle Brigade could not be stopped at all.

At this time, Liu Changlu was also stunned by the sudden explosion, but before he could react, another group of figures suddenly appeared in front of him, and his guards were in a panic where were the opponents of these people, and they were killed one after another.

"Haha, Liu Changlu, let's catch it." San'er laughed wildly, his figure flew up like a big harrier and flew directly from the air, and landed directly beside Liu Changlu, and the Tang knife in his hand brought boundless murderous aura to Liu Changlu's head and slashed down.

Liu Changlu was stunned by the other party's means, and in a panic, the long knife in his hand was in danger after blocking a few moves from San'er, and one was careless by a knife across the arm, blood spurted out, and the long knife in his hand fell to the ground with a bang, and then his body tightened, and the cold blade was on his neck, and a cold voice came from his ears, "Don't move, otherwise your life will be lost." ”

After restraining Liu Changlu, San'er shouted at the top of his voice: "All the Cantonese troops listen, Liu Changlu has been captured, and those who know each other will put down their weapons, otherwise there will be no mercy." This sound sounded in the ears of the Cantonese army like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and there was chaos in the field again.

At this time in Dongcheng, the boat bridge troops finally arrived on the opposite bank, and the demomen who had been hidden for a long time almost couldn't wait to rush over, and piles of blasting canisters quickly piled up under the city gate, and the sound of ignition came from the front line one after another.

"The siege troops are ready, and immediately attack." Xue Wanli was waiting for this moment, and almost at the moment when the blasting canister was ignited, he personally led the siege troops to rush onto the boat bridge.

"Boom" An earth-shattering sound sounded, the huge city wall seemed to be bitten out of thin air by an invisible force, bursting out of smoke and earth and stones several feet high, the city gate was directly blown away, and the east city was blown up at the city gate A huge gap was opened, and the ruins were directly paved into the moat.

"Your Majesty, Xue Wanli rushed in, and there is no repetition in Guangzhou." Yang Tiancheng smiled at Li Xuanqing beside him: "The last general is fortunate not to be dishonored, and the mission of the Jiangnan Command has come to an end. ”

"Everyone is fortunate, after entering Guangzhou, I want to reward the three armies, thank you brothers for your hard work in the past six months." Li Xuanqing nodded and said with a smile: "After Guangzhou is taken, rest for ten days, and the siege troops will be rewarded with three levels." ”

Xue Wanli, who rushed into the city when Li Xuanqing gave the reward order, looked depressed, only to see that the Cantonese soldiers all over the city were actually walking out with weapons in piles at the moment, so it seemed that they had surrendered.

"Haha, Wan Li, you have to thank Xiaohu, this guy directly took over the hundreds of thousands of troops with the Flying Eagle Brigade alone." Chai Jia laughed when he saw Xue Wanli's face from a distance.
