Gao Qi quickly completed the military deployment, and the various units began to act according to the deployment and entered their respective combat positions.

The sky has not completely brightened, Gao Qi took the lead in launching another onslaught towards Kaifeng City, and it has been only two artillery battalions that have been bombarding Kaifeng, and now Gao Qi has pressed three artillery battalions in one breath, and is carrying out continuous and indiscriminate bombardment towards Kaifeng City.

At the head of Kaifeng City, a shell fell, blowing up the bricks and stones everywhere, and the unlucky Taiping Army was directly blown up by the explosion, with heavy casualties, Lai Wenguang, who rushed to the news, looked at the crazy artillery fire on the opposite side, and his heart was already in his throat, such an artillery bombardment, too crazy, too violent, the city wall of Kaifeng City definitely couldn't last long, I was afraid that it would not be at night, the entire city wall would collapse, and when the time came, it would be time for the fish to die and the net to break!

Du He hurriedly said: "King Zun, what now?" The fire of the Qing Demon is too fierce, we can't resist it at all! ”

Lai Wenguang is even more anxious than Du He, under the threat of other people's artillery, even if he has many people, it is not enough to fill it!

"For today's plan, the only way to do this is to give up the Kaifeng city wall and fight to the death with the Taiping army!"

Lai Wenguang's mind was spinning, and he said astringently.

There is no way, sooner or later, the city will be blown up by people's artillery, there is not much difference between defending and not guarding, since there is no difference, then why do you have to defend the city and push the elite brothers into the fire pit? Then it's better to put the Qing Demon in, and then fight to the death with the Qing Demon under Kaifeng City and Kaifeng City, at that time, the artillery can't even blow up the Qing Demon together, right? Losing the cover of artillery, he has 40,000 people against more than 10,000 demons, and he is not at a disadvantage!

Du He was stunned for a moment, and shouted: "King Zun, do you want to tell the demon to let it in?" Once they're in, we can't stop their attack, and without artillery, they still have foreign guns to use! ”

Lai Wenguang shouted: "Lao Du, do you have a better way now?" We must close the distance between each other, so that our bows and arrows and swords and guns can play a role, and the two sides are separated by hundreds of battles, how can we compete with the Qing demon? The most courageous soldiers of our Taiping Army are only able to shoot feather arrows two or three hundred steps away, and they can't even hurt the fur of other people's demons! We can only passively withstand the artillery fire of the Qing demon, sooner or later we will all be killed by them, rather than this, it is better to fight to the death, give up the defense of the city, retreat back, we are waiting for him in the city, order the Taiping army and the twist army and Kaifeng inner city to set up defenses, resist every step, even if it is consumed, Guo Ye Baoding Town will be consumed to death! ”

Du He's heart was gloomy for a while, it was true, nailed to the head of the city, that only the white target, retreated, entered the inner city of Kaifeng, relying on the surrounding houses and tiles, hidden, it was the most suitable for the Taiping army to fight with the twist army, and only in this way could it be possible to hit the Qing demon hard, the soldiers of Baoding Town were too strong, without the help of the surrounding environment, relying on brute force alone, even the 40,000 Taiping army was difficult to be the opponent of others!

"Order, all departments immediately retreat and abandon the northern city wall!"

Du He shouted loudly, and the Taiping army retreated to the back in groups, no one wanted to stay here, it was too dangerous!

Under the city, Gao Qi held a telescope in his hand, carefully watching the situation on the battlefield.

"Huh?"

Gao Qi found a scene in Kaifeng City and muttered: "I'm wiping, what's the matter, so fast, the long hair is a bear?" All gone? Impossible, at least, there are still 30,000 or 40,000 Taiping troops in the city, and the city wall has not completely collapsed, shouldn't all these defenders run away, that's right, now there is no one on the head of the Beicheng City, and all of them have no shadow! ”

Gao Qi thought for a moment, and then understood that this was going to be a street battle with himself, they had no choice but to use their artillery, and retreated into the city, wanting to rely on the houses and buildings in the inner city to fight with themselves!

Gao Qi sneered, if you want to fight with Lao Tzu, where is it so simple? Since you retreat, then Lao Tzu will advance! However, it was not the infantry that advanced, but the artillery!

"Order Long Tao to let the three artillery battalions advance alternately towards Kaifeng City, and keep bombing until they are less than two hundred meters away from Kaifeng City! The infantry battalions are all in combat readiness, let the Green artillery be the vanguard, and the infantry platoons on both sides are ordered! ”

Lai Wenguang wanted to rely on the buildings in the city to make a last fight, but Gao Qi was thick and fine, and he was not fooled at all, the three artillery battalions began to advance alternately, constantly bombing, not only the city wall of Kaifeng Mansion, even the houses in the inner city have been included, one by one the shells fell on the houses, only half a day, not only the city wall of Kaifeng Mansion was destroyed by the shells, but even the buildings and other buildings in the inner city have been destroyed by the shells, and there are ruins everywhere, which is extremely desolate.

Fortunately, before the start of the war, most of the residents of Kaifeng Mansion who got the news had already run away, and no one wanted to wait for death in the city, although the building was destroyed a lot, the casualties among civilians were still not large.

Lai Wenguang's face was so angry that his face turned pale, this Qing demon was so cunning that he didn't give himself a chance at all, not only did the city wall collapse, but now even the buildings in the inner city have collapsed one by one, and the Taiping army hiding in the building was beaten in embarrassment, and the casualties were not small.

At this time, the soldiers of Baoding Town finally launched an attack on Kaifeng Mansion, and seven battalions of infantry advanced rapidly towards the city of Kaifeng Mansion, and the momentum was terrifying!

Now most of the walls of the north city have collapsed, there is no barrier between the Taiping army and the soldiers of Baoding Town, the Taiping Army watched the soldiers of Baoding Town approach step by step, and their hearts trembled! This group of people is simply a group of beasts, inhuman beasts, cold-blooded, ruthless, fearless!

Lai Wenguang gritted his teeth, the time to test the Taiping Army has finally arrived, the last moment has come, whether it can withstand it depends on this battle, presumably two days after tomorrow, his own reinforcements will arrive, and it will not be so difficult at that time!

"Order, all the soldiers of the Taiping Army will attack and beat their infantry back to Lao Tzu!"

Lai Wenguang gave an order, a new force under the command of the Taiping Army, five or six thousand people, pressed up towards the infantry battalion in Baoding Town, and now the distance between the two sides is only two hundred meters away, as long as they rush to the infantry and start a white-knuckle battle, the muskets of the soldiers in Baoding Town will be considered useless, and when the time comes, even if it is three big ones, they can still vacate thousands of people!

Lai Wenguang and Du He discussed in this way, using people to fill in, and also to beat back the soldiers of Baoding Town!

However, they ignored that in addition to cannons, Baoding Town now has a big killing weapon, that is, the Green Cannon! (To be continued.) )
