Qiu Yuancai did take one fiercely, Ye did not pull a fork, brandished a long-handled Dapu knife, how could it weigh more than forty pounds, dancing in the wind, wind and rain, all the Hui troops who climbed the city just appeared, they were cut off by him with a knife, either dead or injured,

Several Hui soldiers bravely climbed to the top of the city, cut down a few Taiping troops, and cut down two people who helped in the war, Qiu Yuan saw that the situation was not right, rushed over, slashed the big knife, and the big blades of the three Hui soldiers were cut off, and one soldier was cut into two pieces.

"Ahh Although the soldiers of the Hui army were divided into two sections, they still climbed forward, and happened to hug the legs of a Taiping soldier who was defending the city, and immediately opened his mouth to bite, biting the Taiping army and screaming,

Fortunately, the Hui soldiers were exhausted and died.

Qiu Yuancai was furious, swung the Pu knife, picked up the disabled Hui soldier with a knife, and smashed it towards another Hui soldier, snapped, and directly smashed him off the city, groaning for a long time,

When the Hui soldiers who had just come up saw Qiu Yuancai so brave, they were so frightened that they let go of their hands, discarded the walls of the battlements, screamed miserably, and fell down.

The casualties of the Taiping army on the city wall were not light, the number of Hui troops was dense, the firepower of the assault was condensed, those tattered guns and shotguns, bows and arrows and crossbow machines, gathered together, and there was also such a great killing and destructive power, which was shocked by Luo Yang,

There are constantly soldiers and civilians defending the city who are killed and injured by ammunition, and there are also soldiers who bravely climb the city and jump up to fight.

The offensive and defensive battle on the city wall of Hanzhong is still fierce,

If it was only more than 3,000 Taiping troops guarding the city, it was estimated that it would not be long before the Hui army killed the city, and there was no piece of armor left.

Although Qiu Yuancai was brave, he was also panting, and his face was pale.

The situation is quite thrilling,

The equipment of the Taiping army is better than that of the Hui army, only some foreign guns and iron-cast cannons, but there are not many of them, and they cannot form a strong covering force, especially the kind of foreign guns, which are still breech-loading ammunition and ammunition types, and the speed is extremely slow.

After a fierce battle for a long time, the Hui army from a certain place occupied a section of the city wall with more than a dozen people, began to cover the rest of the Hui army, and climbed quickly.

The surrounding Taiping army and residents all stormed here, hoping to repel the enemy, but the Hui army's offensive was too fierce for them to pull away.

Seeing that the situation was critical, Luo Yang led several pro-soldiers to rush over and shot with a pistol without hesitation.

This kind of pistol, captured from the Qing army, is very small in number, and very clumsy, as a weapon and equipment, far less symbolic than a toy,

A shot hit the front door of a Hui soldier and killed him, Luo Yang casually threw the gun at another Hui soldier, only to hear a bang, smashed on the soldier's face, and blossomed,

"Use bombs."

Luo Yang gave an order, and asked his own soldiers to take out the newly developed and very small number of bombs and bombard them towards the breakthrough point of the Hui army.

Several bombs were thrown over, and the Hui army in the city was shrouded in smoke and dust, except for one person who rushed out, the rest were killed and wounded, and lost their combat effectiveness.

One of the most dangerous areas was captured by Luo Yang,

Qiu Yuancai saw it not far away, and couldn't help but raise his left hand and give a thumbs up,

Half an hour later, the offensive of the Hui army was repulsed, the flag of the Hui army waved, and the troops retreated to rest, and the Taiping army and people in the city also breathed a long sigh of relief.

At the most critical juncture, the old and weak women in the city also crowded up to the city to defend against the enemy.

At the time of the break, Qiu Yuancai and Luo Yang gathered together, and he said angrily: "Luo Yang, it's all you, what kind of trouble do you provoke to return to the army, now, how much trouble will you cause for us." ”

Luo Yang smiled: "Okay, you just hand us over." ”

Qiu Yuancai punched Luo Yang in the chest: ", you and I are fighting against each other together, we are already brothers, what nonsense are you talking about." ”

Qiu Yuancai led Luo Yang and others to inspect the city defense of Hanzhong, and found that the encirclement of the Hui army was extremely tight, and even if the city broke through, there was no gap, and he couldn't help but sigh: "It's over, it's okay if they don't go north, and if my more than 2,000 people don't defend the city, it's okay, and now, they must be explained here." ”

Some officers and soldiers of the Taiping Army talked about the barbarism of the Hui army's fighting, and all those who engaged in the battle, including the local people, were left behind, and they were worried about the future of Hanzhong.

"Alas, almost all the Han people in the Weihe area have been killed, and the whole village has been killed, and I have one of our villages, but I can't imagine that here, I will be caught up by Huizi again." A middle-aged man sat on the ground and cried,

Many old people observed the situation in the city and were very frightened: "I am really going to die here this time." ”

The soldiers and civilians in the city suffered more than 500 casualties, and the rest of the people waited for them to rescue and comfort on the one hand, and then returned to the army under the city and closely monitored them.

Qiu Yuancai was extremely frustrated and regretted it all the time, and at the same time said that he would fight with the Hui army to the end.

Just rested for a while, the Hui army under the city launched an attack again, and adjusted the tactics of rushing and crawling, first bombarding with a gun, and then covering with a bow and crossbow, with a dense force to the city tower around the west gate of the city, the rest of the feint attack, disperse the Taiping army's forces, the remaining three city gates, the Hui army also took the same way,

At the west gate of the city, the Hui army frantically charged the crowd, smashed the gate, and rushed into the city, because of the sniping of the Taiping army, the use of iron cast cannonballs, the use of foreign guns to eject, the use of stones or something, the Hui army suffered a lot of casualties, a large section of the moat, full of corpses of the Hui army, almost filled the moat,

The bravery and tenacity of the Hui army was breathtaking, and at the risk of great casualties, they did not hesitate, almost crawled over the corpses, and as soon as they arrived in the city, they slashed and killed indiscriminately, mad to the extreme,

"Kill, kill, kill all the hairy thieves, and leave no one behind."

Many of the wounded Hui soldiers fought stubbornly, some of their faces bloomed, their stomachs flowed out, and they still charged.

This white tide was surging, and the blockers were immediately cut into blood gourds, and dozens of Taiping soldiers who blocked in this area fought and retreated, not opponents,

Qiu Yuan saw that the situation was not right, and personally led more than 100 elites to rush to the area of the city gate cave to intercept it.

The soldiers made a detour, and when he saw that the situation was critical, he yelled and jumped directly from the tower to the dense crowd below.

With a bang, as soon as he landed, he knocked down several Hui soldiers, and smashed the offensive wave of the Hui army into a ripple,

As soon as his own soldiers saw that the main general was like this, they also jumped down one after another, jumping on the heads of the Hui army, some of them smashed the Hui army, and some of them were directly stabbed to death by the Hui army with knives and guns, and the battle was tragic and abnormal.

From the height of Luo Yang, I saw Qiu Yuancai with a big knife, slashing the tiger and the tiger, like a wheel shining with silver light, sweeping and killing the Hui soldiers in circles and circles, and then, he roared and rushed into the group of Hui soldiers, and I don't know how he got it, the Hui soldiers poured a large piece, blood splashed, like spring water, sprayed to a height of several meters,

In this round, it was more than half an hour, and the Hui army attacked bravely, killing and wounding more than 1,000 people, before stopping to rest.

Judging from the intensity of the Hui army's attack, the fall of Hanzhong City is a matter of time, because not only are there more than 40,000 Hui troops, but it seems that there are many more Hui troops swarming from the northwest horizon.

Looking at the Hui army column under the city, looking at the mountains of corpses piled up in the city, looking at the Hui army reinforcements in the distance, thinking of the Hui army's extremely strong retaliation, all the soldiers and civilians of Hanzhong City shuddered,
