Monk Lingqin restlessly observed the place at the north gate of the city with a telescope, he couldn't believe that Handan City, which he had worked so hard to run for many days, was actually beaten into tatters by the Chinese army overnight.

"How can this be, how is this possible." He muttered to himself, as if he didn't believe it at all,

"Monk King, we must take back the fort, if we can't recapture it, we can't hold on any longer." General Changshun walked around in front of him,

"Alright then, there you go."

"I, okay." Changshun immediately led his troops to attack the area north of the city, and at the same time, Seng Lingqin ordered the heavy artillery on the remaining four batteries, together with other foreign artillery that could advance, to bombard the area of the north gate of the city together, covering with firepower.

It is precisely because the firepower of the Qing army is still quite strong that it also poses a considerable threat to the Huaxia army.

The fierce battle between the two armies on this day was completely decided by the blow of artillery.

The battle lasted for an hour, and the two sides went back and forth, fighting desperately, and as a result, the Huaxia Army of an infantry regiment was actually exhausted, and the cannons on the two heavy batteries occupied were all out of shells, and two of the eleven cannons were blown up due to overheating, causing a lot of casualties.

The artillery also suffered a lot of casualties,

Seeing that the situation was critical, Luo Yang dispatched more flying thunder artillery and infantry, continued to enter the communication trenches for reinforcements, and also asked for help from the besieging Twist Army, so the five thousand Twist Army turned cavalry into infantry and participated in the reserve force.

It was a vicious battle, more than 50,000 Qing troops held a city, in fact, they only held the north of Handan, which became the hardest hit area of fierce battles, all kinds of firepower, and carried out experiments on effectiveness.

At ten o'clock, the Qing army's heavy artillery ammunition ran out, and other foreign artillery still kept bombarding the Huaxia army, and the Huaxia army also pulled all its artillery brigades to the north of the city, especially the flying thunder artillery in the trenches, although it only had a short range of more than 200 meters, but all the Qing infantry advancing forward were beaten very fiercely.

In an hour, 10,000 Qing officers and soldiers were torn into tatters by the fragments of artillery shells, and more than 1,500 infantry and more than 300 artillery soldiers of the Huaxia Army were also killed or wounded.

If the Qing army and the Huaxia army bombarded each other, the results were equal, and the key was that the Qing army wanted to recapture the artillery position, so a large number of infantry were dispatched, and Zhenggao encountered the range of the flying thunder artillery.

The battle was still fierce, and the former enemy general of the Qing army, Henan Kaifeng General Changshun, was wounded again and was carried off the line of fire.

"Monk King, Monk King." Changshun shouted Monk Greenqin,

Monk Greenqin burst into tears and hurriedly stepped forward, "General Changshun." ”

"Monk king, ashamed of your humble position." Changshun burst into tears,

It can be said that in the battle of Handan, the Qing army was heroic, especially the three fierce generals of the Manchu Eight Banner Army, who were dedicated, even ordinary officers and soldiers, and also knew the importance of the Battle of Handan, so they were brave, or under persecution, they were also desperate.

Monk Greenqin can't admit defeat, as long as the north gate of the city can't be taken back, who knows what new tricks the Huaxia army will make up at night, the key is that the close-range artillery of the Huaxia army is too powerful, too powerful, and the Qing army can't resist at all,

Monk Lingqin actually didn't want to use this method to fight back at the enemy, but unfortunately, the same simple flying thunder cannon is easy to say, but difficult to do, and how to use it, how to operate many specific things, are not a joke, so, although a door was cast overnight, the Qing officers and soldiers were still studying,

"All the soldiers of the Chinese Heavenly Kingdom, the brothers of the Twist Army, in the city, is the main force of the Dare Army, there are three Qing demon leaders in command, they are Seng Lingqin, Changshun, Mu Tushan, and the most capable general of the Qing army at present, the Qing army in the city is also the most effective Qing army Eight Banners at present, so as long as we can eliminate them, we will enter Beijing City in the north and go straight to the lair of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and there will be no worries."

"Brothers of the Twist Army, Seng Lingqin is a big demon head, we must kill him, he is also your enemy, he has killed hundreds of thousands of Huaishang soldiers and civilians, we are going to have a general reckoning with him today."

Luo Yang made a careful mobilization for all the officers and soldiers who participated in the battle, and gave a speech for ten minutes, which made an infantry brigade of the Chinese Army and the brothers of the Twist Army who were close to two brigades of 5,000 people excited.

"Yes, kill the past, you must not let these three big demon heads run away."

"Kill, kill all the demons, and build a heavenly world."

"The blood debt will be paid with blood."

"Kill, we must occupy Handan today and destroy the Qing Demon Army."

Since it is a huge war of attrition, let's accompany it, Luo Yang continuously dispatched troops to the city to confront the Qing army,

The foreign artillery of an artillery brigade is such a spectacular scene, but unfortunately, because Luo Yang is very cunning in implementing protective measures, most of them are arranged to cover up in the trenches, and only the reconnaissance and guidance of the infantry are the goal, so the Qing army can't see it on the surface, and only thinks that the enemy's artillery is so much.

However, around Seng Lingqin, the continuous sound of explosions and the huge lethality announced the disillusionment of all the officers and soldiers of the Qing army.

The idea of relying on the bombardment of more than 20 heavy artillery pieces and more than 30 foreign artillery pieces to blast the Huaxia army back is too naïve and lively, because the shells of the Huaxia army are denser and more violent, and under the indiscriminate bombardment, all the houses in half of Handan City have been reduced to ruins and scorched earth in 20 minutes.

When it comes to fierce fighting, who cares if you are the people or not,

The Qing army, which attacked repeatedly, suffered more than 8,000 casualties again in the next hour.

The Huaxia Army also suffered more than 500 casualties, mainly artillery, because the infantry were hidden, either sleeping or eating, not to join in the excitement, only the artillery was fighting hard, and the dead and wounded officers and soldiers were replenished anytime and anywhere.

This battle, which became the Handan artillery battle, was won entirely by the quantity and quality of artillery.

Bombarded to one o'clock in the afternoon, the Qing army's heavy artillery shells were all gone, and there were few foreign artillery shells left, and the Qing army infantry who charged to the north of the city and finally occupied the ruins of the city wall, before they had time to laugh, Huaxia Tian's infantry had already shot dense foreign gun bullets from the trenches, and huge explosive bags had been flying in the air.

The foreign artillery shells of the Luoyang Artillery Brigade were also knocked out by one-third, these things were all captured Qing army materials, and they couldn't make them themselves, and if they hit one, they would have one less, so Luo Yang couldn't feel distressed.

The huge consumption of shells finally made the Qing army lose its power, and they honestly used infantry to defend, and they also adopted a wise way of trenching, hoping to reduce casualties.

Monk Lingqin already has no hope of victory, and just wants to resist for a few more days, so that the Xianghuai army in Jiangnan can arrive in time, so that the empress dowager and the little emperor of the two palaces in Beijing can have a chance to escape, or, can the Xianghuai army really be able to defeat the Huaxia army,

Monk Greenqin, who wanted to hold out for a month, revised his plan to ten days, hoping to draw half of the city as a prison to contain the enemy.

However, starting at three o'clock in the afternoon, the artillery of the Huaxia Army, which had been reconnoitred and rested, began an offensive operation against the Qing army with the flying thunder cannon as the core.
