The Hui army was defeated and retreated, and camped two miles away from the city, and on that day, there was no attack of any scale.

In the city, Qiu Yuancai, the fierce general of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, had already admired Luo Yang so much, and he excitedly beat Luo Yang's chest with his fist: "Brother, you are simply a god, a god, just these few broken cannons, you will beat the Hui army miserably." ”

Indeed, God, the ordinary breech cannon controlled by Luo Yang was aimed accurately and hit hard, almost all the bullets hit the crowd of the Hui army, splashing pieces of noise, needless to say, there will be dead and wounded in the Hui army,

The three generals and commanders of the returning army were all knocked down,

What is this, this should belong to talent, and it is also the quality formed after long-term training,

The Hui army attacked the city several times, and suffered heavy casualties, so the troops were reduced and camped, and even the corpses did not have time to be collected, and they did not dare to send people to collect the corpses under the city.

However, in the city, there was a lot of laughter, Qiu Yuancai dispatched soldiers, first cleaned the battlefield inside and outside the city of the West Gate, and then built the city gate with a mound, and also excavated the ruins of the collapsed city tower, dug out the storage of many explosive bags, and repaired and maintained the few damaged battlements.

In the defensive battle of Hanzhong, the Taiping army and the people of the city, with 88 dead and 123 wounded, won a major victory, killed more than 2,300 Hui troops, wounded and captured more than 1,100 people, especially prisoners of war, all of whom were captured after being bombed unconscious, or seriously wounded, lost the ability to move and fight.

Of course, this is not an incomplete statistic, and the Hui officers and soldiers who were injured and killed by artillery fire in the distance cannot be determined, that is, Ren Wu's wounds, the death and injury of the Bai brothers, and there is no way to know from the city.

On the city wall, Qiu Yuancai respectfully asked Luo Yang about the situation in the battle, and couldn't help but raise his thumb: "Brother Luoyang, you are really a god, my brother is convinced of you, as long as this battle is fought, we can still live, and I, Qiu Yuancai, will definitely follow you to live a life." ”

"Hehe, King Huai, I hope you are the talker." Luo Yang grinned and coped, not particularly concerned,

The situation is still not optimistic, under the cover of night, the company camp of the Hui army is dozens of miles, covering the mountains, wilderness, overlapping, endless, especially in the darkness of the starlight, a little fire, flickering light and darkness, unfathomable and deep, how much, like a wolf's eye prying eyes, cunning and dangerous,

Qiu Yuancai completely regarded Luo Yang as his own person, "Brother Luo, don't worry, we can hold Hanzhong City, even if there is no cannon, tens of thousands of people in the city will rise up to help me, as long as I hold on for a few days, once my brothers in the city know the situation, they will inevitably gather people and horses, and come to help, and besides, the Qing demon is attacking Weicheng, if the Hui army fails, the Qing demon army will inevitably pounce on Xi'an, the Hui army is besieging Xi'an, and it will not be able to besiege our city for a long time, at most five days, the Hui army will be defeated." His words made many of the generals around him high,

Luo Yang also found that this fierce general who picked up a big blade to make a tiger and a tiger was quite smart,

"How about we fight again tonight."

"Tonight, you said that you attacked the Hui army camp outside the city at night."

"Not bad."

"Hehe, I see, forget it, the Hui army is brave and fights to the death, it's not easy to provoke, and besides, the Hui army is defeated during the day, and we may come to attack at night."

"Give me three hundred and that's about it." After Luo Yang thought about it carefully, he proposed,

"You, you're kidding." Qiu Yuancai sneered: "Don't say three hundred, it's three thousand, you can scare the Hui army back, they are not the Qing Demon Army, they are very bold." ”

With the experience of night raids on the Songlin River, the more Luo Yang thinks about it, the more sure he is, anyway, the Hui army will not retreat from the battle, and he is eager for revenge, and new scars are added to the old wounds, how can he easily retreat, besides, his own Huaxia Tian** troops may not be able to arrive in time, and the best results depend on themselves,

If there are dozens of flying thunder cannons, then Luo Yang has nothing to worry about, if his troops can have a brigade at hand, he is also sure,

At Luo Yang's insistence, Qiu Yuan agreed, carefully selected three hundred elite soldiers, and handed them over to Luo Yang.

Another special attack,

Luo Yang immediately ordered that the gunpowder in the city be made into a large number of small explosive packs that could be ignited, and each soldier was required to carry four, put them in bags, put them on their shoulders, two on the left and right, and pay attention to carrying the necessary ignition things, followed by a saber, and the clothes and hats of the returning army,

The night was extremely dark, and the hat of the Hui army was worn, and it was very easy to expose the target, so Luo Yang made careful arrangements for the entire attack, and asked to wait until he approached the Hui army camp to wear a hat and deceive the opponent.

"We are the most elite troops in Hanzhong, a living force, if we can't defeat the Hui army tonight, then no matter what, Hanzhong City will inevitably fall, at that time, the people in the city's army, no matter who they are, will be slaughtered and burned, so we are the only hope for Hanzhong City, brothers think about it, whether to sit back and wait, or fight to the death, for a glimmer of life, everyone said."

"Brother Luo said it well, let's fight."

"Yes, fight."

"Even if we are all gone, as long as we can run back to the army and save the lives of the whole city, it will be worth it for us to die."

In the face of the death crisis created by Luoyang, every soldier of the Taiping Army was inspired to have courage,

Not only that, Luo Yang also has a back hand, "Brothers, the return to the army dragged the family with his mouth, and the wealth of the robbery was very large, all of which were in the army, and there were many Han women who robbed, naturally, there were also many female dependents who returned to the army, if we can win, each soldier who participated in the war will be rewarded one." ”

"Ahh The Taiping Army has always been upright and disciplined, where can there be such a reward, but these things are clearly what everyone desires, and suddenly, the surprise was unbelievable,

"This king promises that after the big victory, there will be a reward, if King Huai doesn't care, I will take care of it." Luo Yang patted his chest and said,

Qiu Yuancai listened to it on the side, and naturally he couldn't help but express his position, people were desperate for themselves, what else could they not agree?

"Okay, since Brother Luoyang said it, let's listen."

"Okay." All the three hundred soldiers, one by one, howled wolf,

"Brother Luo, brother, let me say something." The younger sister of the Qiu family and the generals were also at the starting point in the city, and in the dark night, her appearance could not be seen clearly, but her impassioned temperament could be felt by everyone: "I want to participate in the night raid team, okay?" ”

"Nope." Qiu Yuancai decisively refused,

Everyone knows that night raids and battles are more auspicious than lucky, just now Qiu Yuan wanted to fight by himself, but was rejected by Luo Yang as his main general, Qiu Yuan obeyed orders safely, and it was also for the sake of the military and people of the city,

"That's fine." The sister of the Qiu family walked up and faced the three hundred brothers who regarded death as home: "Brother, Brother Luo, brothers, if you can come back, we promise to welcome you warmly, oh, Brother Luoyang, if you return safely, would you like to marry me." ”
