Tomorrow is 515, the anniversary of the starting point, and the day with the most benefits. In addition to the gift bag and school bag, this time's "515 Red Envelope Flip" must be seen, how can there be a reason not to grab the red envelope, set the alarm clock high~

Seeing that the Taiping army in the city had unknown weapons and fierce weapons, and the green battalion suffered heavy losses and showed signs of instability, Ji Du hurriedly ordered the right army to transfer 2 Niu Lu Han troops to press up, so as not to make the Taiping army in the city unscrupulous.

Jidu did not hope that he could take Lufeng City in this battle alone, but hoped to hit the Taiping army in the city as much as possible, and find out their details to determine the deployment of troops for the general attack. After receiving the order of the commander of Jidu, the commander of the right army, Du Eryou, immediately transferred two Niu Lu Han troops to press up.

The Taiping army at the head of the city was extremely cunning, and they immediately crouched down every time they fired a gun, so that the arrows of the Qing army could not shoot directly at them, and only some arrows fell down and injured some guns. The Taiping army shot condescendingly with musketeers, and used spearmen to climb the Qing soldiers who climbed the wall, and lay on both sides of the battlements with sword and shield hands, and hot oil was poured down at the city gate from time to time, so that even if the Qing army surpassed the Taiping army in a certain area, it still could not change the situation of being passively beaten. If you find that the Qing soldiers below are gathered a lot, the earth-shaking thunder will continue to fall, although the broken and flying iron nails and stones can not make the Qing soldiers die on the spot, but everyone is injured, if the iron nails are shot at the door of life, it is the gods can not save it. The artillery of the Taiping army was still firing non-stop, so that the Qing army, which had received subsequent reinforcements, could not easily catch up.

The Taiping Army artillery battalion at the head of Lufeng City has 46 large and small artillery pieces, and more than 30 large poles, although it is not as long as the Hongyi cannon, but the farthest can also hit 600 meters. The rest is mostly three or four hundred meters, and the firing distance of the pole gun is about one hundred and fifty meters, as long as the position of the gun is adjusted in place. The lethality is far greater than that of the long-range Hongyi cannon. Unless the Qing army could suppress the artillery fire of the Taiping army, it could only take human lives at this distance.

After paying more than 100 lives, the Zhengbai Banner 2 Niu Lu Han Army, which was ordered to reinforce, finally drove to the firing distance of the firecrackers under the city, and more than 800 Han troops holding firearms under the command of the co-leader Cai Yuanfeng quickly fired the firecrackers in their hands towards the city.

The Cai family is one of the eight families of the Han army, and the head of the family is Cai Shiying, who descended to the Qing Dynasty in Jinzhou with the ancestral birthday, and is now the governor of Caoyun with the title of secretary of the Ministry of Soldiers. Cai Shiying has no children under his knees. treated several nephews well, and Cai Yuanfeng was able to be the co-leader of the Zhengbai Banner at a young age, naturally thanks to this uncle who was the governor of Caoyun.

Cai Yuanfeng led his troops to rush to the city at the risk of death and immediately ordered the launch. Hundreds of firearms were fired at the same time, and the sound of shooting alone overwhelmed everything on the battlefield, but after the black smoke passed, the Taiping army on the city only stopped shooting for a short time. Soon it was up to fight back again. See this. Cai Yuanfeng's face couldn't help but darken, and Jidu, who was watching the battle in the rear, also frowned.

Tie Yi took over the defense of Lufeng as the second town general of the Taiping Army, and Han Chaozong and others only had more than 2,000 soldiers under them, so they naturally did not dare to compete with Tie Yi for command. Tie Yi quickly judged the situation and saw that it was impossible for the Qing soldiers under the city to break through the city gate, and it was impossible for them to successfully climb the city with ladders erected everywhere, and the most threatening ones now were those fire soldiers who were busy charging dozens of paces away. Therefore, he decisively ordered the transfer of a guard of musketeers to organize the suppression of the Qing army's musketeers.

"Ready! Shoot! ”

More than 700 Taiping gunners shot a volley of guns when the Qing army's gunners had not finished loading, and instantly knocked down more than 100 people. Frightened, Cai Yuanfeng hurriedly ordered his subordinates to fight back at the city.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

After a dense and scattered sound of fire, not a single Taiping head could be seen on the city. The Han army was excited. I thought that those Taiping troops had been defeated, but before their smiles could fade, a hundred and ten heads suddenly protruded from the city.

"Shoot!"

The Taiping army took advantage of the firepower advantage of the segmented shooting and quickly played a second round, under which the Han army suddenly fell another seventy or eighty people.

"Fire, fire!"

Cai Yuanfeng saw that the Taiping army's firearms were powerful and they shot fast, so he hurriedly ordered his subordinates to fight back. However, after the order was given, the sound of the fire was not heard.

"What's going on!" Cai Yuanfeng was furious, "Are you all fucking deaf?" Didn't you hear the officer giving the order to fire!

"Adults, the little ones haven't been filled yet!" One of the closest Han soldiers was crying.

"!"

Cai Yuanfeng was so anxious that he stomped his feet, and saw that the soldiers of the Zhili battalion were being pressed and beaten to the death by the Taiping army, and he had no strength to fight back, so he yelled in a hurry: "Chen Quan! Chen Quan! ”

Chen Quan was the leader of the Han Army under Cai Yuanfeng, and when he heard the co-leader calling him, he hurriedly ran over from behind: "Humble duty!" ”

Cai Yuanfeng hurriedly said: "You immediately take your people to rush to the city, and you must suppress the Taiping Kou on the head of the city!" ”

The most important thing now is to ensure that the Green Battalion can break the city, as long as the city is broken, the army will all pour in, and no matter how powerful the firearms of the Taiping Kou are, it will not help. Chen Quan responded, waved his hand and waved at his subordinates and shouted, "Come with me!" ”

Before Chen Quan and his team of firearms soldiers ran out of a dozen steps, the sound of a big pole firing came from the top of the city. More than a dozen times in a row, the dense guns fired by the big pole hit Chen Quan's team impartially, and immediately wailed, and fifty or sixty people fell on the spot.

Chen Quan almost hit the gun, and was so frightened that he only retreated. Cai Yuanfeng was also afraid of being shot by the Taiping Army's big pole, so he hurriedly retreated. As soon as they retreated, the main gunner of a gun in the city saw it, and immediately asked the deputy gunner and auxiliary gunner to help adjust the gun position, and slightly pressed the muzzle of the gun to bombard it. The iron bullet fell behind Cai Yuanfeng and swept away, taking away four or five lives in an instant. Seeing that the place he was in was not safe at all, Cai Yuanfeng didn't care about not having an order to retreat, and led the remnants of the four hundred Han troops to retreat eagerly.

The green battalion soldiers besieging the city were like being in hell, and the guns of the Taiping army in the city kept hitting them, and those who climbed the ladder were knocked down by spears before they could probe. There were a little more people gathered at the bottom of the ladder, and the Taiping army above threw down the bamboo tube that would explode, and the iron nails flying everywhere frightened people's eyes.

The archers of the green battalion not only could not suppress the fire guns on the city, but they were scattered by the fire guns, and they could no longer fire as intensively as before, but could only fire a pile in the east and a pile in the west.

Jidu looked at it for a while, and knew that it would not work if it continued like this, so he ordered the troops to be collected, and waited for the Wuzhenha super artillery battalion to arrive before attacking the city, otherwise the loss would be too great.

After hearing the order to collect troops from the Chinese army, Yang Zhenwei, the chief soldier of Zhending, and Zhang Dan, the general soldier of Tongzhou, were relieved, they had seen this battle, and Taiping Kou was really fucking difficult to fight, no wonder Jingnan General Hahamu and Pingnan Wang Shang Kexi were defeated.

Wu Liuqi also sighed, he knew that the Taiping army was not easy to fight, otherwise he would not have been driven back to Chaozhou by the Taiping army from Lufeng. He hurriedly ordered Mingjin, hoping that his town mark would not lose too much, otherwise he, the governor of Guangdong, would become a general of the light pole.

After hearing the order to collect troops, the Qing army besieging the city didn't care about which one stayed to cover, and retreated in a swarm, only to be put down by the artillery of the Taiping army at the head of the city.

After the Qing army retreated, the Taiping army immediately counted the casualties and sorted out the equipment. Han Chaozong and others, whose faces have always been ugly, are also smiling happily, and they all came over to pat Tie Yi's ass.

In this siege, Wu Liuqi's troops lost more than 400 people, the Zhili Green Battalion lost more than 500, the Henan Green Battalion suffered more than 300 casualties, and the Han army lost more than 400 people. This was still a tentative battle, but the casualties were so large that Jidu couldn't help but re-examine the combat effectiveness of the Taiping army, and regretted that he had recklessly attacked the city without waiting for the arrival of the Wuzhenha Super Artillery Battalion.
