The whole city of Quzhou is completely different from yesterday!

The entire city tower was in chaos, and the Qing soldiers defending the city bravely only cared about dodging, running around, as if no one suppressed the command. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"What's going on?" Tan Shaoguang, who was 4 miles away from the West City Gate, stood on a high platform, holding a telescope, observing the situation of the Qing army in the city tower, and saw that the Qing army on the city wall was completely in a state of chaos without command.

"Could it be? What the Secret Service brother said is true!? The traitor Qiu Changdao was really killed by them? Tan Shaoguang muttered to himself, "No, even if Qiu Changdao is killed, Jiang Yunkang, the head of the Qing Demon in the city, Jiang Yunkang, the prefect of Quzhou, should also command the Qing Demon to defend the city, so that it won't be so chaotic!?" ”

Tan Shaoguang didn't care about it for a while, what about him, the most important thing was to take advantage of the chaos to capture Quzhou City!

He immediately ordered the forty thirty-two-pounder retractable smoothbore guns lined up in front to bombard several towers and concentrate on breaking through the Qing army and defensive batteries on the towers.

Of course, Tan Shaoguang didn't think about using artillery to blow down the city wall.

As early as a year ago, the Holy King had reminded Tan Shaoguang that even if the foreigners' artillery was sharp, it was not suitable to blow up the city wall. It's not that the artillery can't blow up the city walls, but it's too inefficient and wasteful, and with that effort, it's better to blast the defenders' firepower points, that is, the defending troops and defensive batteries.

The artillery section of the Whampoa Military Academy systematically analyzed the role of artillery, which is to suppress the enemy and destroy the enemy's vital forces. But it is by no means used to bombard the city wall, with the current solid cannon, if you want to knock down the city wall, it is better to directly shoot an enemy quickly, or it is more reliable to use the method of using crypts to plant explosives.

Forty of these heavy 32-pounder recoiling smoothbore guns were so powerful that they soon blew up all the three towers in the west of Quzhou City, and the gunners on the Qing battery, after some of them were killed and wounded, all fled, and the remaining artillery was also destroyed by the artillery.

Under the cover of fierce artillery, the Qing soldiers did not dare to appear near the three towers of the western city wall, and all hid in the hidden soldier caves and under the city wall.

When Tan Shaoguang saw this scene, the corners of his mouth smiled slightly, the time for a full-scale siege of the city had come: for some reason, the Qing Demon had completely lost the courage to defend the city, and the entire western city wall had been completely lost and abandoned.

"Brothers, the head of the Qing demon and the traitor Qiu Changdao are in the city, break the city, kill them, and avenge the brothers who died tragically in the original Fourth Division! Come on! Tan Shaoguang held a Draise needle foreign gun and a card knife at his waist, and rushed forward first.

Under his leadership, the following thousands of soldiers of the 9th Division roared and rushed towards the Qujiang stone bridge and a temporary wooden boat pontoon bridge to the south.

……

In the city of Quzhou, it is already a mess.

Several soldiers, dressed in the costumes of Qing soldiers, rushed into a wealthy household, robbed dozens of taels of silver and a box of jewelry, and wounded a pair of children of the owner.

Four regimental trainers in Quzhou City slammed into a shop with a closed door hanging "Nanji Hardware Shop", and at a glance, there were two young men in the shop, and the leader said viciously: "Boy, quickly hand over the silver, otherwise, don't blame grandpa I'm welcome!" ”

"You, you are the officers and soldiers of the government, how can you rob the people of their money?" One of the older fellows asked.

"Haha! Officers and soldiers, wrong, we are not officers and soldiers! If it were officers and soldiers, they wouldn't be so polite as us, just cut you down, and then search for money! Another villager laughed.

"Third child, what are you doing with so much nonsense!? I said don't be soft-hearted. Boss, fourth, let's directly slaughter these two boys first, and then find silver! The other hideous-looking creature shouted, and drew his glittering waist knife.

The other three also drew their waist knives, and approached the two men with a sly smile.

However, what made the four villagers feel strange was that the two guys were not only not afraid, but sneered.

"Stationmaster, this should be called 'Heaven has a way for you not to go, and Hell has no door to break in', right? Brothers, come out and help. The young man yelled. Suddenly, in the back wing of the shop, five more sturdy men came out, three of whom were holding card knives and rushed over; The other two men each held a short crossbow and quickly aimed at the two villagers, only to hear two swishing sounds, and two crossbow arrows hit the chests of the two people.

"Ahh Yes! The two let out two screams, one after the other, clutched their chests and fell to the ground.

The other two village warriors turned pale, and one exclaimed, "Who are you? ”

The one who fell to the ground was the first, and laughed miserably: "Second and fourth, don't worry about so much, run away." They must be the assassins who assassinated the prefect and the guerrilla general, Lord Qiu! ”

"What?!" This hideous-looking dick has a very difficult face.

Last night, the four brothers were on patrol in the city as usual, when they suddenly heard news that the guerrilla general Qiu Changdao had been assassinated by the Assassins.

Then, the prefect Jiang Yunkang ordered to block the news, and strengthened the patrol of the streets in the city, and also made all the regimental training village warriors on duty, stationed in the city tower and the city to guard.

Unexpectedly, more than half an hour later, smoke suddenly came out of the backyard of the prefect's yamen, and someone shouted that the water was on fire.

At that time, the second child happened to be patrolling the street outside the backyard of the prefect's yamen, and just wanted to rush in to put out the fire, only to see the prefect Jiang Yunkang rushing out of the back door with three family members in disheveled clothes.

Next, there was a scene that the second child will never forget!

Only a few gunshots were heard, and Jiang Yunkang and the three family members were covered in blood holes, among which Jiang Yunkang was shot three times, but he died on the spot with a scream. The three family members were covered in blood, and they were not dead for a while, and they kept rolling on the ground and howling, and the shape was extremely miserable, which made the always tough second child feel cold.

The second child only vaguely saw six or seven black shadows flashing into the alley, and soon disappeared. If it weren't for the choking smell of gunsmoke and sulfur in the air, the second child couldn't believe it was true!

One night, the military commander defending the city, the guerrilla general, was assassinated by the assassins, and then the prefect was assassinated again.

As a result, the entire city of Quzhou lost its command.

In the early hours of the morning, several Du Si and Qian Zong, not only did not take up the heavy task of defending the city, but took advantage of the chaos to lead the troops to loot the pawnshops and tea houses in the city that they had been coveted for a long time, and sneaked away with their belongings.

By dawn, the entire city of Quzhou was already robbing property everywhere, smashing shops and smashing the Qing soldiers and regimental training people, filling the streets and alleys, like half of the doomsday.

The second child recovered from the stimulation, and hurriedly called the other three brothers, found this relatively secluded street, and also began to search for property and make a fortune.

The second child's mind flickered quickly, and he didn't care about pulling the fourth, so he rushed towards the shop door quickly.

I only heard two more swishing sounds, and then, the second child felt a sharp pain in his back, and the pain hit him, and soon his eyes were black and he lost consciousness.

The seven guys in the "Nanji Hardware Store" looked at each other and smiled.

A guy said: "Stationmaster, this time I wanted to only get rid of Qiu Changdao's entire traitor, but I didn't expect that I had good luck and got rid of Jiang Yunkang, the prefect of Quzhou. ”

"Yes, now that there is a big chaos in Quzhou City, it will be easy for them to attack the city of the Ninth Division!"

"Brothers, hard work! Hold on, No. 2, you will find a way to bring this news to Commander Tan who is besieging the city outside the city as soon as possible. Also, Five, Six, Seven, the three of you continue to cause chaos in the city. Three and four and I guarded the shop. Let's go! ”

"Yes, stationmaster!"

……

Tan Shaoguang stood on the tower of Quzhou City, full of emotion!

He had never captured a large city so easily.

When he led thousands of captives, rushed across the Qujiang River, and attacked the city from the south and west of Quzhou, he met with little resistance.

stepped on the ladder and climbed the city wall, only to find that the city wall was almost unguarded, like an empty city.

It was easy to climb the city walls, and then easily occupy the entire tower.

The captives on the city walls went down to the city and opened the gates, and the rest of the captives rushed into the city.

At this time, Quzhou City, I don't know who shouted, the Guangdong thieves broke the city, and the entire Quzhou City, which was already chaotic, was like a pot of porridge boiling, boiling: chickens and dogs jumped, and there was a cry!

Hundreds of Qing soldiers and government officials opened the east gate of the city and fled outside the city. And the villagers in the city practiced bravely, or followed the Qing army to desert and escape from the city gate, or took off their clothes and hid in the people's homes.

The 1,800 people who originally surrendered to the Qing army, Qiu Changdao's subordinates, were divided into two parts: one part of the six or seven hundred people, who were Qiu Changdao's hardcore subordinates, knew that the Holy Kingdom would not forgive, fled from the east of the city to the direction of Jinhua Mansion in the east, and was determined to take refuge in the government. The other part, about a thousand people, remained in the city, wanting to plead with the Holy Kingdom and rejoin the army of prisoners.

After Tan Shaoguang led the troops into the city, the remaining 500 Qing soldiers and 300 village warriors did not have time to escape, so they surrendered on their knees without resisting. The entire city of Quzhou was shattered at once.

As soon as Tan Shaoguang entered the city, he ordered martial law in the whole city, and ordered the Ninth Division to increase patrols in all streets and alleys, and to correct and arrest the bandits and soldiers who smashed and looted in the city, so as to calm down the law and order in the city and settle the people.
