Guo Ye is right, the current Taiping Army is at the lowest combat power, once they master the use of foreign guns and cannons, the threat to the soldiers of Baoding Town will rise sharply, and keeping them is completely a tiger for trouble!

He Qimou asked, "Yezi, then how should we fight this battle?" ”

Guo Ye smiled slightly and replied: "As I said just now, the infantry of the Twist Army in the northwest and west is not as strong as the green battalion, don't worry about them, we can withstand their attack for a day with the strength of one battalion; The focus is on the opponent's cavalry, we need to first entangle the opponent's cavalry, so that they can't move, and then attack the Taiping army in front with all their might, this big battle, the competition is to see who is fast, who is fast, who will occupy the absolute upper hand, the wind and clouds......"

He Qimou nodded slightly, thoughtfully.

Guo Ye shouted: "Come on, give Gao Qi an order, order him to deploy the infantry on the right flank, make a gap for me, and expose it generously in front of the cavalry of the Twist Army, I don't believe that Zhang Zongyu, who gave revenge, can bear it!" Once the war starts, you can show weakness to others, and give me Zhang Zongyu's main force to suck it firmly, don't give them a chance to quit! Ordered Long Tao to press the three artillery battalions, all forward, ready to enter the battle at any time, and the target was the position of the Taiping Army, and in one hour, in one hour, all the more than 2,000 shells were thrown on me! Order He Tengjiao, concentrate all the cavalry, and be ready to launch a surprise attack on the frontal position of the Taiping army at any time, and in one day today, the position of the Taiping army must be completely defeated! ”

Guo Ye gave an order, and the soldiers of the entire Baoding Town, plus the training army, all took action.

The first to attack was Long Tao's three artillery battalions, more than 60 new infantry guns, frantically throwing shells and falling on the position of the Taiping army!

Lai Wenguang already has a high estimate of the combat power of the Qing Demon, and he also knows that once the opponent's attack is launched, it must be a situation of fish dying and the net is broken, and the casualties of the Taiping Army are definitely not small, even if he has a large number of foreign guns and cannons, it will not help, and the enemy will be injured by one thousand and lose eight hundred, that is for sure.

But Lai Wenguang never thought that the Qing Demon on the opposite side would strike first, the Taiping Army had just begun to build a position, and the Qing Demon's artillery began a frantic attack, and suddenly, the sound of artillery had already shocked the world, and then dozens of shells came in the air and landed on the position of the Taiping Army.

The Taiping army has always been engaged in cold weapon warfare, whether it is fighting with Shengbao's green battalion, or fighting with the Mongolian cavalry of Seng Lingqin, most of them are using big swords, spears, strong bows and hard arrows as weapons, at most some firearms, guns, only the Mongolian cavalry of Seng Greenqin is equipped with a few foreign guns and foreign artillery, and the Taiping army, which has not participated in the hot weapons war, has a natural fear of foreign guns and foreign artillery, and the power is too strong, a cannonball can be swept away, and the lives of more than ten people or even more people are Who isn't afraid? If it was under the sword, then at least it was known who was killed, but the cannonballs flew from afar, suddenly, and I don't know how it really died!

A shell fell on the position of the Taiping army, and the Taiping army that was caught off guard was blown up in all directions, and the unfortunate one was directly blown into the sky, with stumps and broken arms flying around, miserable, the first time to personally experience the bombardment of so many artillery, the Taiping army's faces were already frightened green, too violent!

Not only the Taiping Army, but even Zunwang Lai Wenguang was also frightened, if he continued to fight like this, it would not take a day for his Taiping Army to be completely reimbursed by the cannonballs, the power was too great!

"Order, the artillery immediately returned fire, return fire! Knock down the other party's bombardment! ”

Lai Wenguang let out a crazy roar, now he can only attack against attack, hoping that his artillery can assume their responsibilities at this time, even if they can't defeat the opponent, at least they must resist the opponent's artillery attack.

The twenty Western-style artillery pieces of the Taiping Army finally appeared at this time, and the gunners were nervously carrying the shells one by one, loading and firing! One shell after another was fired!

Hey?

How did our shells go more than a hundred feet away?

The Taiping army had not fully woken up, and a cannonball was fired, and this cannonball was shot out less than thirty zhang, and it fell straight on their own position!

Rumble!

An explosion sounded, and more than a dozen Taiping soldiers were blown away!

Yes!

Lai Wenguang was almost mad, the dog said, Lao Tzu asked you to aim at the position of the Qing Demon, you are good, the cannonball did not reach the Qing Demon, it is okay to reach the battlefield, it actually fell on your own position!

"Bastard! Du Hanqing, what are you doing! Lao Tzu asked you to shoot at the Qing Demon! Where the hell did you hit! ”

Du Hanqing, the pipe band of the artillery battalion, was also pale with fright, more than a dozen brothers, they were sent into the Ghost Gate Pass by their own cannon in this way, even if some did not enter, they have now arrived at the door of the Ghost Gate......

"Death to the lowly position, death to the lowly position, obey the king's forgiveness!"

Du Hanqing turned around and roared angrily, "Didn't you ****** you eat?" Even if you throw it with your hands, it will hit farther than your cannon! Relaunch for Lao Tzu! Aim to hit! ”

"Yes!"

The artillery of the Taiping army began to fire again, this time it did not fall on their own positions, but the huge power directly hit the shells seven or eight miles away, and all fell on the side of the Tangshui River behind the Qing army, and the water waves were blown up two or three zhang high, and the soldiers of Baoding Town did not even break their skins!

"Bastard! You're all biased by Lao Tzu! Again! A bunch of rubbish! ”

Du Hanqing roared angrily, in just a short period of time, the artillery of the Qing Demon opposite had already dropped more than 200 shells on his own position, bringing huge damage to his own position, but he didn't even hurt a single hair of the Qing Demon, which was too embarrassing!

The Taiping army on the side said in a low voice: "My lord, this is really resentful brothers, we have never used this kind of artillery at all, and the brothers will not use it......"

Only then did Du Hanqing understand that these artillery pieces were all bought by the Wing King from the United States, they were all foreign gadgets, and without the guidance of special personnel, who could use them well? Who will use it?

"What about the people sent by the Winged King? Let them use it! ”

As soon as Du Hanqing's words fell, the artillery on the artillery position in Baoding Town on the opposite side rang out again, this time not towards the infantry position in front, but towards Du Hanqing's artillery position! (To be continued.) )
