A small number of Qing prisoners of war, who became pitiful slips, that is, the meaning of the tongue, were interrogated by Huaxia Tian** for a while, and after threats and temptations, they told the truth one after another.

"Monk Greenqin, that old Wang Ba, is staying in Handan City." Zhang Zongyu and others were greatly surprised, and the blood grudge of Monk Greenqin made him determined to revenge, Monk Greenqin in the Huai River Valley, arrested and killed a large number of Twist Army brothers, and also arrested and killed a large number of Twist Army family members, all the Twist Army brothers, all with Monk Greenqin do not share the hatred of the sky,

Scolding is not right,

Luo Yang smiled, he didn't reproach the brothers of the Twist Army, for the famous generals in history, no matter which position, as long as they are heroic, especially those who dare to resist foreign interference and aggression, he admires them, such as Monk Greenqin, who can also resist the British and French coalition forces, regardless of victory or defeat, they are all heroes,

Of course, Luo Yang also hated the people very much, such as the Hunan army, although the atmosphere of modern Chinese society has been extremely tolerant, giving the generals and leaders of the Hunan army a lot of room for existence, but no one can erase their murderous and extremely murderous criminal acts of slaughtering the people, Luo Yang knows that Zeng Guofan can also write family letters, and knows that Zeng Guoquan is very powerful in fighting, but he also knows that the Hunan army was a group of rogue butchers who were inferior to beasts at that time, and what about the Huai army, Li Hongzhang deceived people to open the city, and then slaughtered, such a despicable act, Even the British hooligan Gordon can't stand it, and wants to settle accounts with him, so the leader of the Xianghuai Army in history, his character or something, or the massacre of the people or something, is really shameless to the extreme.

"Monk Greenqin slaughtered the people and resisted the tide of the people, naturally he is a historical sinner, King Liang, King Lu, we must take him, it is in Handan City." Luo Yang said,

"King Rui, if you can catch the traitor Seng Lingqin, all of our brothers will bow under your tent and always be at your disposal." Zhang Zongyu knelt down as he spoke,

When Ren Huabang saw it, he also knelt down and expressed the same meaning,

Luo Yang hurriedly helped the two of them up: "Get up, they're all brothers." ”

In fact, the northward movement of the Twist Army is cooperation rather than surrender, and the Twist Army has a large number of troops, and the cavalry is powerful, and they originally did not want to take refuge in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, but it was because of the persecution of the Qing Army that they accepted the reward of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, but they were very independent.

According to the reconnaissance intelligence, Luo Yang made a new arrangement, with his own troops as the south wing, responsible for breaking the city and attacking, with Zhang Zongyu's troops as the left wing, making a detour to block the west of the Qing army, the possible escape route in the northwest, and at the same time cutting off the reinforcements of the Qing army, with Ren Huabang as the right wing, detouring, encircling the east and northeast of Handan City, building a camp on one side, digging a ravine on the other, and establishing a wall, trapping the Qing army in Handan City,

In the south of Handan City, a piece of Ze country, the Luoyang army looked around, and it was indeed difficult to attack.

Luo Yang personally urged the officers and soldiers to dig new ravines to divert the water released by the Qing army, and sent soldiers to collect hundreds of civilian flat cars to load earth and stone filling.

This amount of work is too large, but the cavalry on the left and right flanks have returned to report that Zhang Zongyu and Ren Huabang have set up barracks and blocked the escape of the Qing army.

Except for the road in the north, all the rest of the city is filled with ravines and waters, and it is difficult to rush in.

Luo Yang was annoyed, since the Qing army still has a back door, why don't we attack it,

Luo Yang adjusted his subordinates, mobilized 5,000 Zhang Zongyu's cavalry, marched on the southern front, and finally reduced it to 3,000 people, and made a detour of his troops and appeared in the north of Handan City.

Clusters of fortresses, blocking the only passage north of Handan City, is also the place where the Qing army reinforcements passed, the Qing army set up many forts, built a large number of fortifications to protect, more ravines and long walls, foreign gun troops,

The Luoyang mixed army began to gnaw at the hardest place of the Qing army,

Diverting water to fill the south of the city may have a better effect, but it is too slow.

"We're going to smash the hard walnut of Monk Greenqin in Handan City." Luo Yang swears,

The stone fortress of the Qing army is also quite strong, the huge stone blockade of the fortress, even the cannon can't blow up, the ordinary 16 pound Western cannonball blasts to the top, is to break some gaps,

It would be nice if there were heavy siege artillery,

Luo Yang knows that the kind of siege mortar cannon, a shell is half a ton and a ton, to break through the fortress, it is the best choice, but unfortunately, it can't be made now.

The artillery of the Qing army launched a fierce bombardment of the attacking Huaxia army from the battery, and the power was so powerful that everyone was shocked.

"King Rui, the Qing Demon now has a very powerful cannon, and we can't get close."

"Yes, the cannon of the Qing Demon hits far and hard, and when a cannonball comes over, we all have to kill a large number of people."

After Luo Yang knew, he immediately went to observe, only to see that inside and outside the north gate of Handan City, there were several Qing army batteries, which were bombarding the attacking Huaxia Tian** officers and soldiers, and the burst place, shrapnel flew sideways, gunsmoke, and the sound of the explosion was very loud.

"Okay." Luo Yang clenched his fists in surprise,

Everyone is stupid, people are so fierce, you still applaud,

Luo Yang introduced to the officers and soldiers that it was a large-caliber foreign artillery, perhaps a coastal artillery specially used to garrison the coastline.

Coastal artillery, all using fixed, heavy artillery, China's late Qing Dynasty coastal artillery, Luo Yang has seen, very big, are imported from Germany, but also know that in the history of the Russo-Japanese War, Japan was frustrated in the attack on Arthur, and the loss of 50,000 soldiers was reduced but there was no progress, so the coastal heavy artillery was mobilized from the country, this kind of artillery, 280 mm, a shell is more than half a ton, as a result, under the leadership of the new Japanese marshal Kodama Gentaro, bombarded all the way and smashed the Russian army,

Sensitive to the power of artillery, Luo Yang immediately stopped the attack of the troops,

The new situation forced Luo Yang to change his tactics, from attacking during the day to attacking at night, and at night, Huaxia Tian** began to attack with the strength of an infantry company, plus an artillery company, with so many people.

When many generals learned the news, they were incredulous,

The way to deal with the pillbox group, Luoyang is to cover with infantry, artillery bombardment, accurate strikes,

Small flowering foreign cannons were pushed, and the infantry in front began to dig trenches every time they advanced, and the long S-shaped trenches allowed the artillery to advance quietly below.

At night, the heavy artillery of the Qing army could not find the target and became blind,

Of course, the Qing army was not without a way, and sent a small number of troops to contact each pillbox, and used the trench to snipe the Huaxia ** who came to sneak attack.

Huaxia ** didn't care, kept digging, and later, another infantry company also joined in, speeding up the excavation of the communication trench.

From nightfall to the third watch, the Huaxia army took turns to operate, and nine companies of an infantry regiment took turns to fight, and finally successfully extended the trench to the front of the Qing army's fortress group.

Clusters of firewood and grass, soaked in oil, ignited, and threw themselves from the trenches to the position, the flames reflected the surrounding ground, and the raised Qing army fortress shone into a vague shadow.

In the face of the sniping of the infantry of the Qing army, the Huaxia Army definitely has a lot of foreign guns, and for the purpose of quick victory, the special operations troops participated in the battle.

At a relatively low cost, defeated the infantry of the Qing army,
