Chapter 181: The Battle of Kaifeng (2)

The cannonballs tore the cold earth, setting off huge tunnels, and the Qing cavalry on them were blown up on their backs, because of the cover of the night, they couldn't see clearly, but the soldiers' howls were so helpless and terrifying,

"Withdraw." The cavalry of the Qing army, who had no time to save the wounded soldiers, had never seen such a fierce shell, and they were simply stunned.

In the battle with the Taiping Tian**, it was the artillery of the Qing army to bombard the Taiping army, and the artillery shells of the Taiping army returned fire, which was a ridiculous big iron projectile, although it was hit very powerfully, in fact, how much was the success rate,

The Changshun troops transferred from the Jianghuai battlefield encountered this nightmare for the first time.

On the city wall of Kaifeng, with a Western telescope, Changchun looked at the place of attack, and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, Mu Tushan's so-called enemy artillery fire is very fierce, he really doesn't believe that the enemy's earthen artillery, can it play any tricks, now, he knows,

"Could it be the lost foreign artillery of the Shaanxi army." He's still fantasizing,

Changshun didn't know that the night battles and raid battles he was best at, and the opponent's people also liked them, and he had enough capital.

The sound of artillery bombardment came from the southeast direction, as well as the intensive shooting of foreign guns, the intensity of which shocked every officer and soldier in Kaifeng City, and everyone talked about it.

"Who is it?"

"Could it be the Twist Army?"

"Go, what do you have in the Twist Army, they are shotguns, this is the sound of foreign guns."

"How many guns do you need?"

Soon, the Qing army in Kaifeng City received a battle report, that is, the monk king's troops had arrived and were attacking the enemy's flank.

Changshun many shrewd people immediately spread the news to the whole city and the whole army, and told everyone to fight hard, because tonight is the best time to annihilate the enemy.

The information was quickly reported, and the Mutushan army outside the city was also in great spirits, after successive defeats, General Mutushan wanted to cut his neck and commit suicide, how much better could the rest of the people be, these 5,000 troops were all defeated troops, so that they were stationed outside the city, and it was also the meaning of forcing them to fight to the death, everyone thought that they would definitely die, where could they not seize the only chance of life,

The Qing army in Kaifeng City, also under the personal leadership of Changshun, poured out the nest and attacked the frontal attack, almost all the foreign artillery was dispatched and transported to the front of the army, 16,000 regimental training, and the combat effectiveness was also quite strong, because, since the Northern Expeditionary Army of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom passed by, the Central Plains was in turmoil, and the uprising of the Twist Army made the landlord's regimental training armed forces have been greatly expanded and tempered, and its weapons and equipment have also been greatly improved.

More than 30 heavy artillery pieces were still left in the city, and the remaining 100 small and medium-sized artillery pieces were all dragged over, and when the Changshun army rushed to the front of the enemy's army, they simply sent people back and asked for all the heavy artillery to be transported over.

More than 20,000 Qing troops attacked head-on, and more than 5,000 Qing troops flanked to help, and the target of the attack was more than 12,000 people of the Luoyang Command Army.

The battlefield all began, and for a while, the sound of guns and cannons was shocking, and the ground outside Kaifeng City was dozens of miles away, and several battlefields were carried out at the same time.

On the southern battlefield, the infantry artillery of the Monk Greenqin Army stormed the group of the Lan Cheng Army, and the three divisions of Huaxia Tian**, nearly 40,000 people, used ravines and other fortifications to firmly hold on.

In the night, neither side can see clearly, only the fire of the shells, the firewood ignited during the explosion and other objects, can the target be seen a little clearly by the light of the fire.

Monk Greenqin killed the cavalryists, but after the British and French coalition forces learned a painful lesson, he added artillery doctrine, many battles, his infantry won by artillery bombardment, the reason why his cavalry was able to fight more with less, more than 100,000, at most 200,000 Twist Army cavalry group fled and broke indiscriminately, and failed so much that even the alliance bombed Zhang Lexing was captured and killed by himself, the key is that his weapons are good,

I don't think much of Luo Yangjun, when Monk Greenqin heard that the so-called Huaxia Tian** was actually a side branch of Taiping Tian**, he smiled crookedly, he had been in battle many times, won and lost countless times, and he was already pampered and humiliated, and he really had the demeanor of a general.

The artillery bombardment caused the enemy's camp to be on fire and chaotic, so when he observed, he was triumphant: "Hmph, Huaxia Tian**, but that's it." ”

The Henan Twist Army, which had been fighting with him all the year round, always did not dare to confront him head-on, and in the end, he simply abandoned the infantry and replaced it with all the cavalry, the most important thing was not to expedition to the Manchu capital, but to be able to escape with his life when he got rid of the pursuit of his monk Lingqin,

Now, in front of him, Huaxia Tian**, who doesn't know the height of the sky, actually dares to set up a camp, isn't this looking for death?

"Boom, give me a hard bang, bang the thieves' camp." According to the afterglow of the artillery fire, Monk Grinqin could see the enemy's camp clearly, and his mood became higher and higher, because he found that the enemy was not ordinarily numerous.

He didn't know that when his troops were gradually advancing, Hua Xia Tian ** was hesitating whether to stick to the counterattack or immediately counterattack, because the enemy's artillery fire was too fierce.

The bursts of shells one after another have made the entire barracks lose order, looking at the people, weapons, and even explosives that have been directly detonated in the sky, Lan Chengchun is furious,

"Attack immediately and counterattack the Qing Demon."

There was no gong and drum, no military trumpet, in the chaos, in the dense rain of bullets, many things in Huaxia Tian were blown up, so from a chaotic military headquarters, a team of officers and soldiers first rushed out, and then, the roar caused the other troops to feel,

Communication basically relied on roaring, which solved the problem of contact in wartime, and Huaxia Tian** bravely attacked and counterattacked the enemy.

"Hahaha, drive out the thief army." Monk Grinqin was overjoyed and immediately instructed his troops to attack,

The troops dominated by foreign guns are ready to fight, and the cavalry troops are eager to try, and Seng Lingqin is absolutely sure to win this battle, as long as the enemy is bombarded, next, it is the world of foreign spearmen, and then it is the iron hooves of the cavalry.

"Monk King, the thieves can't support it."

"Hmm."

"Monk King, the last general is willing to lead a team of men and horses to charge." Several generals scrambled to be the first, anyway, who doesn't want the fruits of victory in vain,

In the dark night, the surging black crowd rushed in the camp of Huaxia Tian**, and the shout was indicating their position, and the shout was so loud that when the Qing army was excited, he was also a little worried.

Countless rifles are loaded with ammunition, this kind of rifle that is popular in the world, of course, is still the kind of ammunition separation, which needs to be stabbed with an iron hammer for a long time, the kind that is tamped, the speed of loading ammunition is quite slow, but its lethality is within a certain radius, which is quite good,

The dense infantry of the Qing army, arranged in a neat queue, to achieve a typical European tactical three-stage attack, in fact, is no longer three sections, but five or six sections, in order to strengthen the firepower, the Qing army is divided into more levels,

Clenched his fists, Monk Green jumped on the war horse excitedly, in his opinion, Huaxia Tian's ** attack is really self-throwing net,
