Liang Hongsheng, the general of the Huai Army, was almost killed by Huaxiatian's special operations force by chance, so he was furious when he survived, "Attack the city immediately tomorrow, attack the city, Lao Tzu wants to let these bandits know how powerful Lao Tzu is." ”

As soon as they heard about the siege, all the Huai officers and soldiers became excited: "Yes, _"

Whether it is the Hunan army or the Huai army, they have adhered to a ruthless principle, their high-sounding military discipline is fundamentally to fool the court, fool the common people, on the real battlefield, every time a city is attacked, a town is obtained, often indulge the officers and soldiers, wanton burning and plundering, it is completely the criminal act of hooligans and bandits, therefore, the officers and soldiers of the Hunan army and the Huai army are proud to be able to participate in the war, and they are happy to break the enemy, which is one of the roots of their strong combat effectiveness, this kind of strength is rooted in shameless banditry, so, as long as you see this, Anyone can understand that the so-called four famous ministers of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, no matter how bleached, are all sinful, black, and unbearable, such people are responsible for history, such as Zuo Zongtang and the like, but more are humiliated and weak to the outside world, and they are even more shameless.

Zeng Guofan handled the Tianjin teaching case, protected France, and indiscriminately killed dozens of Chinese, and Li Hongzhang's case of betraying the country to seek glory is even more notorious, and there is no need to talk about it.

On the one hand, he actively prepared, and on the other hand, he reported the news to the follow-up troops, Liang Hongsheng, as the supreme commander of the front line, was still calm, and the bomb of Huaxia Tian** made him feel uneasy, he sent cavalry to quickly notify the follow-up Zhang Shushan Army and Ye Zhichao Army, hoping that they could be cautious, and inform the Huai Army gang leader Li,

At night, Liang Hongsheng didn't sleep, reminiscing about a fright, and also brewing revenge, he vowed to give the Huaxia army a dismount, and strive to break the city within an hour and kill the enemy.

After inspecting the whole battalion, his confidence returned, especially when he stroked the barrel of the huge foreign cannon, and a smile appeared on his face,

At the same time, in Kaifeng City, the officers and soldiers of Huaxia Tian** are also waiting for the battle, the main general Lan Chengchun has not slept all night, and has carefully planned the defense everywhere, the current battle is far from a few years ago, the wide application of Western artillery, so that these ancient strong fortresses have become extremely fragile, the arrival of the Qing army with the Huai Army as the main force of the invasion army, indicating a vicious battle,

Originally, he was going to sneak attack the Huai army, but Lan Chengchun didn't know the details of the Huai army, so he decided to talk about it after the first battle, he hid those flying thunder cannons under the city wall, first, to avoid possible enemy bombardment, and second, when the enemy was impacting, he made a surprise attack to achieve great results.

In another place, twenty miles away from Kaifeng City, Luoyang's troops also arrived, quietly set up camp, not much, only two infantry regiments, a cavalry brigade, an artillery brigade troops, set up a barracks, the rest of the cavalry troops, led by Ren Huabang, are secretly marching, to outflank the Qing army, however, they pulled the troops far to the east of the Yellow River stall, a distance of more than forty miles,

After interrogating the tongue overnight, finding out the basic situation of the incoming enemy, and adding the intelligence of the reconnaissance cavalry, it can be convinced,

After dawn, the Huai army Liang Hongsheng's troops of nearly 10,000 people poured out to attack Kaifeng City, first using artillery bombardment, and then, the infantry roared madly and rushed to the city.

There are more than 20 foreign cannons used by the Huai army, all of which are small and medium-sized cannons, all of which are imported types, and the power is also quite good.

"It's a good thing we were well hidden, otherwise, how many people would have died." The officers and soldiers of Huaxia Tian**, who were hidden not far from the city wall, couldn't help but rejoice,

The casualties of the Huaxia army were dozens,

The Huai army, under the promise of a three-day holiday in the city of war and Kecheng, bravely took the lead, and soon stormed under the city wall, breaking near the city gate on one side, and landing on the city in all directions.

As soon as they saw the Qing army gathered under the city wall, the officers and soldiers of Huaxia Tian** were overjoyed, and the scouts immediately reported the ambush behind the city wall.

The Huaxia army immediately attacked, rushed to the city wall, and intercepted the enemy army, at this time, the Huai army actually used artillery to continue to bombard,

The casualties of the Huaxia army immediately increased by 100 people, and the city wall of Kaifeng was blown up in chaos.

However, the counterattack of the Huaxia Army also immediately made the Huai Army understand what level the enemy in front of them was.

Dozens of flying thunder cannons threw dozens of explosives bags high, smashed them down fiercely, smashed out of the city, and landed at the heel of the city wall, blowing up the Qing army troops gathered there to heavy casualties, countless officers and soldiers were blown up into the air, and the blood instantly smeared the ground and the city wall shockingly.

Liang Hongsheng was shocked, he couldn't imagine that the enemy had this hand, and they had also heard about the flying thunder cannon of the Huaxia Army, but no one could believe it, they all felt that it was still a foreign cannon, and they couldn't imagine that this kind of cannon really smashed in the crowd, and the power was much greater than that of foreign artillery, which was equivalent to a large-caliber heavy artillery.

After two rounds of bombardment, the siege troops of the Huai army were blown up by six or seven hundred people, and just like that, the artillerymen of Huaxia Tian** are still sighing that the results are not significant.

In a daze, the Huai army was defeated and retreated,

Liang Hongsheng was not disappointed or angry, but carefully observed, pondered, instructed the officers and soldiers to make new preparations, and at the same time studied the combat characteristics of the Huaxia Army.

The foreign artillery carried out a key attack on the back of the Kaifeng city wall, and then, maintaining the suppression, the Qing army began to charge again,

The fierce battle between the two armies was carried out inside and outside the city wall, the bombardment of the Huai army was very severe, and the Lan Chengchun army easily did not dare to fire back indiscriminately, and the captured foreign artillery shells were too few, so the Huaxia army was suppressed by the enemy's artillery fire,

Lan Chengchun saw that the situation was not good, and immediately ordered to retreat, and the Huaxia army gave up the city defense and let the Qing army pounce.

The Qing army was overjoyed and bravely climbed the city, even the city gate was also broken, and many Huai officers and soldiers thought that victory was in sight, and they gathered together to surprise from then on.

It's a pity that this is a conspiracy, the infantry of Huaxia Tian** retreated again and again, introduced more than 3,000 people of the Huai army into the city, and then counterattacked, only to see the infantry's foreign guns, grenades fired indiscriminately, and the flying thunder artillery also fired in time, and the powerful infantry firepower suppressed the Huai army in an instant.

Under normal circumstances, the Huai army of 3,000 people, unless they escape on four legs, there is absolutely no chance to survive again.

At this time, the artillery of the Huai army stopped bombarding, and Liang Hongsheng decisively waved the order flag and swarmed up with all the infantry.

The Huai officers and soldiers, including the thousands of newly formed militia elements, were all elated, thinking that they had won, shouted wildly, and charged towards Kaifeng,

Groups of officers and soldiers rushed to the city gate, or climbed the city wall, which made Liang Hongsheng excited.

"Hmph."

Unfortunately, before he could laugh, he was stunned by the sound of horses' hooves in the east, and saw that on the horizon, the cavalry of the Twisted Army was swarming all over the mountains.

Because the main force was attacking the city, Liang Hongsheng's side, except for a few artillerymen, there was no one else, so he hurriedly ordered the artillery to shift the direction and bombard the cavalry of the Twist Army.

Unexpectedly, the cavalry of the Twist Army was far away, shooting with foreign guns, and the rain of bullets poured on the side of Liang Hongsheng, the general of the Huai Army.

The cavalry of the Twist Army suffered casualties from time to time in the bombardment of artillery fire, but after more than 30 cavalry broke in front of them, they not only shot and killed many of the remaining Huai artillerymen, but also directly slashed at the waving sabers.
