Chapter 636: Kaifeng Falls

More than 20 people pushed the Green Cannon side by side, protected by two guard platoons on both sides, advancing rapidly forward, and now the city walls have been razed to the ground, where can they still stop the advance of the Green Cannon?

Thousands of Taiping troops or even tens of thousands of Taiping troops are surging up, and it is indeed difficult for the infantry battalion to suppress others, but now that there are Green artillery by their side, who is afraid that they will not be able to suppress the attacking Taiping army?

Just when the Taiping army was assembled and just launched an attack on the soldiers of Baoding Town, four Green cannons started!

"Sudden Sudden Sudden ......"

Four thick tongues of fire erupted from the barrel of the Green Cannon, and the dense bullets roared towards the Taiping army, and in the blink of an eye, more than half of the battalion of the Taiping army rushed to the front, and the casualties were in disarray!

Later, Lai Wenguang and Du He were already speechless in shock, this, this is the kind of mysterious weapon mentioned by Lei Feng in the legend, it is really a monster, it is too fierce, a large number of bullets are sprayed out from the barrel of the weapon, not only dense, but also extremely fast, and it does not give people time to react at all!

Before Lai Wenguang and Du He came to their senses, the Taiping army charging in front had already turned around and ran away with a shout, where is the huge gap that manpower can fill? If it's just a foreign gun, then you can also use a pile of people, fight for casualties, and always be able to impact the front of the Qing Demon, when the time comes, the Taiping soldiers are overwhelming, and they are naturally not afraid of the Qing Demon!

But how can it be done now? The four tongues of fire continued to spew, covering almost all the space in front of them, leaving no room for the Taiping army to dodge, and those who were shot were either killed or injured, it was too tragic!

However, now it is too late to turn around and run, the Green Cannon is in motion, the firing range is as high as two miles, the Taiping Army is only three or four hundred meters away from the Green Artillery, where is it so easy to run out of the range of the Green Cannon?

The Green cannon continued to spray, the Taiping army and the twisted army scurrying around couldn't dodge the shooting behind at all, and a large area fell on the road to escape, Lai Wenguang shouted again and again, trying to stop the chaos of the Taiping army in front and reorganize the attack, but it didn't help at all, these four Green guns were too terrifying, and they were not at all capable of being low-stop.

Under the cause of the Green Cannon, it is not only the formation that collapses, but the most important thing is the hearts of the people, the nearly 10,000 Taiping Army soldiers in front of them watched the brothers being beaten into a sieve one by one without the ability to resist, and they didn't even have the ability to dodge, they were already frightened to the point that they were scattered, who would dare to directly attack in the face of the four Green Cannons?

No one dares, it is already good to be able to stand at the front of the position, if it were not for Lai Wenguang and Du He's personal suppression, I am afraid that the Taiping army would have collapsed long ago, and no matter how many troops there are, it will be useless.

Gao Qi stood behind coldly, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, hehe, what about the Taiping Army? It still can't stand the power of this Green Cannon! The Taiping army will be defeated!

"Order the infantry battalions in front, the Green guns advance and shoot alternately, the infantry on both sides protect the Green gun gunners, and all the infantry battalions will press on me and attack in an all-round way!"

Gao Qi snorted coldly.

The soldiers of Baoding Town launched a rapid attack again, no matter how many troops of the Taiping army were useless, they could only be killed and retreated, and retreated from the north city to the vicinity of the governor Yamen of Henan in one breath, the Taiping army suffered heavy casualties, not to mention anything else, only four green guns have caused three or four thousand casualties of the Taiping army, as for the wounded in the hands of the infantry battalion, the same is not a few, the Taiping army was defeated in a large area, even Du He was shot indiscriminately, and his arm was drilled out of a hole by bullets!

"King Zun, no, we can't stand it, the firepower of the Qing Demon is too fierce, we are hard topped, it is completely sent to death, it is in vain to consume our troops!"

Du He shouted eagerly.

Lai Wenguang didn't know, but he was really unwilling to retreat now, the 40,000 army didn't cause any trouble to the Qing Demon, so he handed over Kaifeng Mansion to others, he couldn't afford to lose this person, if he could escape to Jiangnan alive in the future, he wouldn't have the face to see the Wing King!

"Hey! Fall back? Lao Du, now that we are retreating, won't that be a waste of all our efforts? Lose Kaifeng, then the whole of Henan will not be able to keep, as long as we can withstand a day's time, I think the Taiping reinforcements in the south will arrive, at least the forward troops can definitely arrive, we still have the power of a battle! ”

Lai Wenguang shouted.

Du He was full of bitterness and replied: "King Zun, don't fantasize, now more than 20 days have passed, if nothing else, the nearest Taiping army should have arrived a long time ago, at least the Taiping army in the direction of Ruzhou rushed to Kaifeng without any problems, they have never been able to appear in Kaifeng, then there is only one possibility, that is, they are entangled by the Qing demons in other directions!" If we continue to hold on, we will not only be able to keep Kaifeng, but also Henan, but the 30,000 new troops of our Taiping Army will not be able to keep it! ”

Lai Wenguang was shocked, and suddenly it was like a frosted eggplant, wilting down, not that he didn't understand, but he didn't want to admit it, this time, the fall of Kaifeng Mansion had become settled, even if twenty or thirty thousand Taiping army reinforcements arrived in time, it would be useless, the other party's combat power was too strong, this is not something that ordinary troops can bear.

Lai Wenguang gritted his teeth and roared angrily: "Someone, give an order, the army immediately withdraws from Kaifeng City and retreats to the east!" ”

Xia Shijie, the brigade commander on the side, said bitterly: "King Zun, now that the east gate and the west gate have a large number of cavalry and artillery, we can't break through from these two directions at all......"

Lai Wenguang was even more annoyed in his heart, and shouted: "Then go from Nancheng, the whole army will immediately retreat to the south and go to Ruzhou, as long as we can hold Ruzhou, we can also ask the Yiwang for help!" Qing demon, Lao Tzu is not finished with them! ”

Lai Wenguang gave an order, the army began to retreat outside the city, and the infantry battalions of seven Baoding towns were pressing step by step, not giving the Taiping army a chance to breathe.

Gao Qi personally supervised the formation, watching Lai Wenguang's army flee towards the south, he had already missed the east and west, and his heart was even colder, and he shouted: "Someone who came immediately sent a letter to Commander He, led the cavalry to the south immediately, and in the south of Kaifeng Mansion, I surrounded and suppressed the Taiping army, this time, none of them can escape!" ”

Lai Wenguang can't manage it so much, the top priority now is to be able to withdraw from Kaifeng Mansion and preserve his strength, if he can't even save his strength, then it is a real dead end! (To be continued.) )
