However, before Zhang Zongyu discovered the flaws of the soldiers of Baoding Town, Baoding Town had already launched an attack on Kaifeng Fucheng.

On the first day, Guo Ye mobilized two artillery battalions to carry out a crazy artillery bombardment of Kaifeng Mansion, one after another shells fell on the city head of Kaifeng Mansion, and the city head of Kaifeng Mansion was blown up into a miasma, and the smoke was billowing out.

Lai Wenguang in the city was shocked, it was too violent, the artillery offensive was too fierce, let the Qing army continue to fight like this, the city wall of Kaifeng Mansion would definitely not be able to support it for too long!

Lai Wenguang roared: "Come on, immediately mobilize all the artillery from other cities to Beicheng and launch a counterattack against the Qing army!" ”

By noon, Kaifeng Mansion had concentrated more than a dozen invincible generals, which were already all the belongings of Kaifeng Mansion, and all of them were put into battle.

However, apparently Lai Wenguang is too wishful thinking, most of these invincible generals are artillery in the Kangqian period, even the latest has a history of more than ten years, they are some old antiques that have been eliminated, not only the power is small, this range is far from being comparable with the artillery of the Qing army, the range of the Qing army's artillery can reach more than ten miles, but the effective range of the invincible generals is only four or five miles away.

Guo Ye, who is extremely familiar with the performance of the Hongyi cannon, naturally stationed his army five miles away from the head of Kaifeng Fucheng, and the two artillery battalions can easily launch shells at the head of Kaifeng Fucheng, but at the head of Kaifeng Fuchengtou, the Twist Army and the Taiping Army have worked hard to send cannonballs to the position of the Qing army, at most they are at the front of the position, and they cannot pose any threat to the Qing army at all!

Lai Wenguang and Du He were so angry that they stomped their feet, and they could only sigh in vain.

Du He hurriedly said: "King Zun, we must withdraw the Hongyi cannon from the battle, at least temporarily retreat from the battle, our Hongyi cannon cannons can't threaten people at all, and in the end they can only become the target of the Qing Demon Artillery!" ”

Lai Wenguang said abruptly: "But, what about withdrawing? These cannons are useless! We can only be beaten so passively! ”

Du He replied: "King Zun, although the range of the Hongyi cannon is short, we can't threaten the position of the Qing Demon, but we can wait for the Qing army to launch an attack to use it, at least we can block the Qing Demon's charge!" The shooting skills of the Qing Demon Artillery are exquisite, if I continue to fight like this, I am afraid that it will not be dark until it gets dark, and all our Hongyi cannons will be killed by the Qing Demon Artillery! ”

Lai Wenguang's eyes lit up, yes, I don't need it now, so wouldn't it be more useful to wait until the Qing Demon infantry and cavalry charge up?

Lai Wenguang nodded and shouted: "Order, all the Hongyi cannons temporarily retreat behind the city wall, waiting for the order, the Twist Army and the Taiping Army all defend the city, I want to see how they take our Kaifeng City!" ”

Without the Hongyi cannon, the artillery of the Qing army fought more vigorously, and in a whole day, the artillery battalion fired more than 1,000 shells, and the entire northern city wall is now full of holes!

However, even so, Guo Ye still did not order the infantry to attack the city, and at this time, Guo Ye was still waiting for the best opportunity!

In the distance, Zhang Zongyu's ears were full of the sound of the demon's cannon, which was deafening, and his heart was like a fire, it was too anxious, but what to do? If the artillery of the Qing Demon is allowed to bombard Kaifeng Mansion wantonly, then the city wall of Kaifeng Mansion can't resist the bombardment of so many artillery!

Just when Zhang Zongyu was anxious, Luo Yuqiu, the banner lord beside him, shouted: "King Liang, we got the news, the Qing demons in front are all infantry and artillery, and there is no cavalry from Baoding Town, I suggest gathering troops and making every effort to raid the artillery positions of the Qing demons, even if they can't clean them up, they must contain the firepower that they want to open the city to attack!" ”

Zhang Zongyu was stunned for a moment and asked, "The cavalry is not there?" No way? And where are their cavalry? ”

Luo Yuqiu hesitated and said: "King Liang, according to our intelligence, the current Qing Demon Cavalry has all left the vicinity of Kaifeng Mansion and is missing, so they should have evacuated to the north......"

Zhang Zongyu's mind was spinning, Guo Ye was the most cunning, at this time he withdrew the cavalry, did he want to lure us to attack the artillery, and then hit us with a surprise attack? No! No! My cavalry moves most strangely, erratic, coming and going like the wind, and it is impossible for him to gather and annihilate my cavalry. However, at such a critical time, where did he transfer the cavalry? Do you want to increase the weight of the baggage? But it doesn't take three or four thousand cavalry......

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, the artillery bombardment of the Qing army gradually stopped.

Zhang Zongyu took a deep breath and replied: "Order, the cavalry rests, tonight is ugly, the army will launch a sneak attack on the artillery position of the Qing Demon!" ”

Zhang Zongyu has no other way now, and if he wants to assist Lai Wenguang in defending the city, the only way now is to mess up the artillery of the Qing Demon, but where is it so simple? It's a problem for your own cavalry to get close to the artillery, now is the only chance, the cavalry of Baoding Town is not here, if you miss it, then there is really no chance!

Late at night, the ugly hour came quickly, the time was about the same, it happened to be around two or three o'clock in the morning, this time was the time when people's vigilance was the lowest, and launching a surprise attack was most likely to succeed.

The six thousand cavalry were divided into two, and Zhang Zongyu led the six thousand cavalry to really attack the artillery.

It's just that when there was still some distance from the artillery, Zhang Zongyu's cavalry had already been discovered, Guo Ye deployed three infantry battalions on the artillery position, specifically responsible for the security of the position, knowing that the cavalry of the Twist Army was close to the left, which one dared to be careless? If something goes wrong, you're going to lose your head!

"Boring ......"

The crisp sound of gongs spread far away in the night sky, and the soldiers of Baoding Town, who were waiting for the day, jumped up one by one, surrounded the artillery position into an arc, and began to launch fierce shots at the cavalry in the distance!

Zhang Zongyu gritted his teeth secretly in his heart, what a deal, this group of Qing demons is so shrewd, they were discovered so quickly! Damn it!

"Order, the whole army is assaulting, you must give it to me, rush over!"

Five or six thousand cavalry of the Twist Army spread their horses and rushed towards the artillery position.

However, Zhang Zongyu forgot that this is someone's artillery position, and if the basis is to rush to the position, the artillery will naturally lose its power, but now the cavalry of the Twist Army is still at least three or four hundred meters away from the artillery position, and it can be completely covered by artillery!

Where will the artillery battalion be polite to them, you know, a fire in the pine forest, it was all done by these cavalry, if you don't take revenge, you swear not to be a man! (To be continued.) )
