"Prime Minister Lin-!"

"Shoot! Shoot! Kill these shameless dog demon soldiers! Beat! Beat! ”

In the roar of grief and indignation, the Taiping soldiers on the city wall ignored the fact that the Wu army artillery in the distance had been prepared, and rushed to the side of the arrow stack to shoot at the city, shooting the two Wu army snipers who were hiding in the pile of dead people and shooting cold guns.

But it's a pity that after the strictly trained Wu army snipers succeeded in the sneak attack, they immediately shrank behind the carefully selected dilapidated fortifications under the city, and hid in the dead corner of the Taiping army shooting in the city, and the other two Wu army snipers on the other side of the city tower did not even show their heads, no matter how many bullets the Taiping army fired, they could not hurt the Wu army snipers, but just beat the ground into dust, adding some more blood holes to the dead bodies on the ground, and immediately attracted the attention of the Wu army.

"Got the hairy head in the water? How could you suddenly shoot at the ground? And where are our soldiers? Also, what happened to those two gunshots just now? ”

Countless questions came to the heart of Cao Yanzhong, the commander of the Wu army, but the fighter suddenly appeared, and if Cao Yanzhong didn't catch it quickly, it would be a crime against the soldiers of the Wu army, so Cao Yanzhong did not hesitate, and immediately ordered the artillery to be fired, and some Taiping soldiers who were desperately shooting next to the arrow battlements were bombarded with long-range firepower.

"Boom! Bang! Bang! ”

The original task was to suppress the defenders of the city with long-range firepower and cover the excavation of the city wall by the demolition team of the army, and the artillery of the Wu army naturally aimed the muzzle at the head of Anqing City early on, and after receiving the order to open the artillery, they did not even need to adjust the angle of fire, and immediately ignited the fire and opened the artillery, the sound of the cannon was deafening, and the night offensive of the Wu army was also launched in advance.

The whistling cannonballs received a more unexpected effect from Cao Yanzhong, hearing the sound of cannons, although the experienced Taiping soldiers crawled in time to avoid the bombs, but because the crowd was too dense to disperse before, the flowering cannonballs of the Wu army exploded on the city, and immediately blew up the Taiping army into a chicken and a dog jumping, and the ghost cried wolf. Even if the smoke of gunpowder affected his vision, Cao Yanzhong also clearly saw in the telescope that the crowd of Taiping troops on the city wall was panicking, and he had just survived the first round of artillery bombardment of the Wu army, and immediately went down to the city in a panic to avoid the artillery.

"What's wrong? How did the long hair get messed up like this? ”

Cao Yanzhong became more and more puzzled in his heart, but he still didn't have time to think about it at all, and subconsciously ordered the grenadier team to step forward to strengthen the firepower, and at the same time issued a banner order to the mortar artillery team in front, so that the mortar artillery team also fired in advance, and seized the rare fighter plane of the Taiping army in panic to annihilate the enemy as much as possible.

What happened next made Cao Yanzhong's second king even more confused, and the Huang Yuan Leopard Department of the Wu Army, who was the main force in the siege in front, was also like taking the wrong medicine, and suddenly cheered for no reason, and shouted one after another: "Kill Lin Fengxiang!" Killed the long-haired leader Lin Fengxiang! ”

"Killed Lin Fengxiang? This and that? ”

Becoming more and more confused, of course, Cao Yanzhong immediately sent someone to Huang Yuanbao to question the reason, but when Huang Yuanbao came closer, before Cao Yanzhong could ask, Huang Yuanbao shouted from afar: "Second brother, my sniper killed Lin Fengxiang!" The sniper I arranged killed Lin Fengxiang with a cold gun! ”

"What?!"

Knowing that Huang Yuanbao should not joke about such a big matter, Cao Yanzhong was surprised and hurriedly inquired about the reason, and Huang Yuanbao also gave a general introduction to what happened - he guessed that Lin Fengxiang would definitely climb the city wall of the West Gate again before it was dark, so he sent four snipers to infiltrate the siege front team, and took advantage of the chaos to ambush the city under the city near the steps of the upper city, and then deliberately detonated the gunpowder that had been prepared long ago in his army when Lin Fengxiang was about to go down to the city, faked the illusion of mistake, and lured Lin Fengxiang to the side of the arrow battlement to observe the situation. Take the opportunity to shoot a cold gun and attack shamelessly.

"And." Huang Yuanbao added with a fluttering eyebrow: "In order to deceive Lin Fengxiang's big long hair, I also arranged for a few brothers to lie on the ground and pretend to be dead early, and let my battalion deliberately run around and pretend to be chaotic ....... ”

"Don't talk about this!" Cao Yanzhong rudely interrupted Huang Yuanbao, just jumped up and grabbed Huang Yuanbao's collar, and asked excitedly, "Did you kill Lin Fengxiang?" Can you confirm that?! ”

"Yes! Absolutely killed! Huang Yuanbao pointed to the mortar artillery team in front of him and said: "I specially arranged a few observation posts on the mortar artillery team, they just sent a signal, a successful signal!" ”

It was also a coincidence that when Cao Yanzhong happily went to see the direction of the mortar artillery team in the distance, he happened to see several Wu soldiers rushing over, and when Huang Yuanbao introduced that it was his own soldiers and snipers, Cao Yanzhong was of course even more happy, and immediately sent someone to ask those Wu soldiers directly in front of him, and as a result, the two Wu army snipers and Huang Yuanbao's personal soldiers who were in charge of observation also gave accurate answers, proving that they saw Lin Fengxiang being shot with their own eyes- One of the soldiers of Huang Yuanbao, who was in charge of observing with a telescope, also said that he saw Lin Fengxiang shot in the eye!

"Well done! Reward! Give a big reward! ”

Cao Yanzhong, who was overjoyed, immediately presented the reward, and specially gave the two Wu army snipers who shot double the reward, but just when the Wu army's meritorious soldiers were smiling and the Wu army soldiers next to him were cheering, Cao Yanzhong suddenly remembered a big event, and hurriedly asked: "Wait!" Have you seen Lin Fengxiang? Can you prove that the big long hair that you killed was Lin Fengxiang and not other long hair? ”

"This ......."

The snipers and observers of the Wu Army, who had never seen Lin Fengxiang, looked at each other, and Huang Yuanbao could only honestly confess, saying that he only found that the enemy who was shot was protected by the Taiping soldiers, and guessed that he might be Lin Fengxiang but could not confirm it - so it could not be ruled out that it was other Taiping generals who were hit.

The happy expression on Cao Yanzhong's face disappeared, and several Wu Jun meritorious soldiers who had just received rich rewards were also a little nervous, for fear that the silver they had received would be returned. But fortunately, Cao Yanzhong, who was trained by Wu Chaoyue, was not only not a scheming philistine, but also had already been cultivated to the point that his stomach was full of bad water, and after thinking about it for less than a minute, Cao Yanzhong immediately shouted: "Tell the news to the whole army, just say that our sharpshooter has made meritorious service and killed the long-haired boss Lin Fengxiang with a cold shot!" ”

"The Lion Rock Camp, the Majialing Camp, the South Gate Battlefield, and our sailors have all sent the news, and we must let every one of our soldiers know that we have killed Lin Fengxiang! Besides, spread the news as much as possible, so that Linghu and the long hair of Jixian Pass also know about it! ”

The captain of the pro-soldier next to him agreed, and quickly sent a number of heralds to act according to the order, but Huang Yuanbao next to him asked worriedly: "Second brother, there is no way to confirm it, why are you still spreading the news?" ”

"Morale is not discouraged!" Cao Yanzhong scolded angrily: "You idiot, you can't confirm that your direct army is shouting, so many people must have spread the news when they heard it, and at this time, they said that there was no way to confirm whether they hit Lin Fengxiang, do we still want our morale?" ”

Huang Yuanbao, who didn't know that he was being trained for nothing, nodded honestly, while Cao Yanzhong pointed at the west gate of Anqing and shouted: "Go back to your headquarters and send ants to join the team!" As soon as our artillery stops, we will immediately fight for me! ”

"Second brother, don't blow up the city wall?" Huang Yuanbao asked in surprise.

"No more explosions! Fight the ants directly! Cao Yanzhong looked at the head of Anqing's West Gate City shrouded in artillery fire in the distance, gritted his teeth and said: "Regardless of whether your sniper hits Lin Fengxiang or not, the long-haired chaos is not fake, it means that even if your sniper does not kill Lin Fengxiang, he must have hit other important people with long hair!" The long-haired morale is exhausted, and I can't give them time to breathe and adjust, so hurry up and fight! ”

Huang Yuanbao woke up, and rushed back to his team without even saluting, and sent the ant team to attack immediately, while Cao Yanzhong ordered the artillery to shell with all his strength, and used flowering shells to hit the enemy defenders in the city as much as possible, while secretly praying: "It's best to really kill Lin Fengxiang!" Even if it's not Lin Fengxiang, at least he has to be the main general of Longhair's side of Ximen! ”

Cao Yanzhong has followed Wu Chaoyue all these years and is not in vain, before Huang Yuan's leopard army shouted directly that Lin Fengxiang had been killed, and it had indeed been heard by many Wu soldiers of other teams, and it had spread quickly, which would make Cao Yanzhong even more careless and openly claim that Lin Fengxiang had been killed, the morale of the Wu army was really greatly encouraged, and the Wu army sailors on the water surface of the Yangtze River in the south, and the Wu army Majialing camp in the north responsible for monitoring the Jixian Pass and Linghu Taiping Army, all cheers came one after another.

On the contrary, after hearing the sudden cheers from the Wu army's camp and the army, and learning the news that the Wu army claimed to have killed Lin Fengxiang with a cold gun through the scouts, the Taiping army's garrison camps in other places were in an uproar, and the generals of each battalion and gate sent people into the city to understand the situation, not to mention, even Lai Wenhong and Gu Longxian and other Taiping generals on the side of Jixian Pass also sent people south overnight to inquire about the news without mentioning it.

When the morale of the Wu army rose sharply and the morale of the Taiping army was shaken, the Wu army ant attached commando team under Huang Yuanbao had also entered the position, taking advantage of the fact that the sky was not completely dark, and he could barely see the road situation clearly, Cao Yanzhong immediately made a decision and immediately ordered the artillery to stop the shelling, and a battalion of the Wu army ant attached to the army also immediately carried a flying ladder to attack, directly stepped on the stone bridge across the river and charged across the river, and launched an ant attached attack on the Anqing city wall with an average height of four zhang. At the same time, more than 200 Wu army auxiliaries jumped down the moat with rope floats and urgently built pontoon bridges to cross the river, so as to facilitate the faster deployment of troops to the other side of the moat.

At the same time, on the West Gate City of Anqing, the smoke of gunpowder has not yet dissipated, the flames caused by picric acid explosives are still burning, and the defenders are still in chaos - because the picture of Lin Fengxiang being shot and dying has been seen by too many Taiping soldiers, and it has already spread on the battlefield of Ximen, and the morale of the Taiping Army has been greatly affected under the frustration of the army, and naturally there is no way to return to the post as quickly as usual, and meet the attack of the Wu army in high spirits.

Liu Guanfang, the general of the Taiping Army who was responsible for guarding the West Gate, tried to stand up and turn the tide, shouting loudly and ordering all armies to return to their posts to face the battle, but Liu Guanfang's prestige and prestige were far less than Lin Fengxiang's after all, and he had just done a good thing of deliberately letting the defenders under the city die in vain during the day.

In this case, if the Wu army ant attached team selected from the elite of Wu Jun Daye could not successfully put the flying ladder on the city wall, it would simply be too sorry for the title of Wu Chaoyue's own son's army - less than ten minutes after rushing through the moat, more than ten Wu army flying ladders were on the city wall, and the Wu army soldier with a grenade in his right hand stepped up the ladder, howling and rushing to the top of the city wall, and just after reaching a certain distance, he used his teeth to pull the grenade to start the fuse, and threw the picric grenade onto the city.

After the grenade bombs fell to the top of the city wall and exploded, the defenders who were already in a panic were naturally even more chaotic, and they were even more reluctant to risk leaning out of the wall and shooting at the Wu soldiers who were climbing the ladder.

The progress of the ant-attached attack was so smooth that Cao Yanzhong and Huang Yuanbao and other Wu generals couldn't believe it, and before it was even dark enough to see the situation in the city, no less than 20 Wu soldiers successfully rushed to the city wall and protected the small city head position. Seeing this scene, Wu Jun was even more joyful, naturally not to mention, Huang Yuanbao also immediately yelled and threw another battalion of troops into the ant-attached battlefield.

The smooth flow of the Wu army on the West Gate side also directly affected the development of the war on the South Gate battlefield, and he had already heard the rumors that Lin Fengxiang was shot and died, and he heard the gunshots on the West Gate City like hemp, and the explosions continued, and the Taiping Army Li Yuanji on the South Gate side was of course even more panicked. The Wu army, which was responsible for attacking the south gate, took the opportunity to beat the water dogs, and immediately launched an attack under the cover of the naval artillery.

More flying ladders took the head of the West Gate of Anqing, and more warriors of the Wu army ant attached to the city also successfully rushed to the head of the city of Anqing, and when the Wu army warriors who successfully rushed to the pontoon bridge exceeded 100 people, the Wu soldiers on the city wall not only protected the larger space of the upper city, but also freed up their hands to throw a large number of grenades and shoot, effectively resisting the counterattack launched by the Taiping army in the panic.

The battle has reached this point, unless it is a miracle, otherwise the Taiping army basically has no hope of expelling the Wu army from the city to the city, so not to mention ordinary Taiping soldiers, but many Taiping generals are already watching around in horror, arranging a way for themselves to retreat and escape in advance. On the other hand, the morale of the Wu army was higher, the speed of charging into the city was faster, and there were more soldiers who successfully landed in the city.

"Got it! The big picture is set! ”

When the first Wu military battalion-level flag was planted at the head of Anqing West Gate, Cao Yanzhong also immediately let out a cheer, knowing that it was a foregone conclusion that the army would break the city tonight, and it was only a matter of time before he took Anqing City. At the same time, at this time, Cao Yanzhong was basically sure that the snipers under Huang Yuanbao's command had indeed killed Lin Fengxiang directly - otherwise, the Taiping Army would definitely not have panicked so seriously and collapsed so quickly!

"Not bad! is worthy of being Huang Da's third brother, but he didn't embarrass his eldest brother! I didn't embarrass my second brother! ”

In addition to praising Huang Yuanbao's clever sniping, Cao Yanzhong did not forget to praise himself, and said with a smug smile: "But thanks to Lao Tzu's quick decision, he immediately launched an ant war, otherwise, such a rare fighter would have to be missed in vain!" ”

Perhaps Cao Yanzhong was a little too happy, and after realizing that the situation on the west gate side of Anqing was wrong, the Taiping army garrison on the Linghu side and the Taiping army at Jixian Pass all sent troops to the Anqing West Gate battlefield to reinforce the battlefield, in a vain attempt to share the pressure for the defenders of the west gate of the self-army and save the defeat.

However, Cao Yanzhong also has this strength to be proud, the Taiping army of Linghu and Jixian Pass can make a quick decision and immediately send troops to rescue, but if they want to do this, they first have to pass the Wu army Majialing garrison, Majialing Wu army also decisively sent troops to block, and the firing pin gun and grenadier were all beaten indiscriminately, and the Taiping army, whose combat effectiveness was greatly reduced after the repeated dilution of the elite main force, was all over the ground looking for teeth, and had to retreat in embarrassment.

In particular, more than half of the Taiping army garrison on the Linghu side was Yang Xiuqing's old department brought by Shi Dakai from Nanjing, which was not only unstable enough, but also enjoyed the blessings in Nanjing, and refused to tie his head to the waistband of his trousers to charge, so the Taiping army on the side of Linghu not only collapsed faster, but even refused to join forces with the friendly troops who came from Jixian Pass, and joined forces to launch another attack on the Wu army in Majialing.

There is a similar situation in the Taiping Army reserves in Anqing City, although Liu Guanfang, who was guarding the West Gate, sent people to ask them for help early, but these Taiping Army reserves were only willing to listen to Lin Fengxiang's orders, and did not want to be called by Liu Guanfang, so not only was the troops not decisive enough, but they were even less decisive after reluctantly sending troops, and the Taiping Army generals at the same level as Liu Guanfang had even begun to calculate like this......

"Prime Minister Lin Cheng is dead, shouldn't I be the chief general of Anqing?"
