Chapter 198: Lian Breaking the Huai Army

Originally, the Luoyang army was going to attack the enemy, but as soon as the day dawned, he heard that the enemy had started a crazy siege, which made Luoyang change his mind, and waited for a while, estimating that when the Huai army was violently attacking the city, it suddenly attacked the enemy's back with the cavalry of the Twist Army.

Liang Hongsheng, the general of the Huai Army and the rank of admiral, is also one of Li Hongzhang's confidants and favorite generals, brave and good at fighting, but in Kaifeng City, he fell into a heavy blow and fell in a battle.

A single shot stabbed down a cavalryman of the Twisted Army, causing blood to splatter in his chest, and the tip of the spear that came out of his chest quickly pulled back into a huge hollow.

Liang Hongsheng is not afraid of danger, fighting to the death, his iron backbone is hard, not a joke,

It's a pity that the cavalry of the Twist Army is not a joke, the second cavalry saw that it was wrong, and when he pulled back the spear, he turned the saber in his hand a little, shook the whirlwind, and flew directly over with a whoosh,

Liang Hongsheng, who was caught off guard, was directly hit in the head by the saber, although his face was cut, it was not the most important, and what was even more fatal was that he was smashed into a daze.

Another Twist cavalryman stepped forward quickly, and with a standard flower pull, he harvested his head from his neck,

Blood spurted more than a meter high,

The charge of the cavalry instantly defeated the remnants of the Huai army, and none of the recalcitrant Huai troops missed the net.

After controlling the artillery of the Huai army, the Twist army immediately loaded with gunpowder and bombarded the back of the Huai army that was besieging the city.

At this time, as long as there are thirty more minutes, it will no longer be possible for all the Huai army to escape.

At this time, the second passerby of the Huai army, the 3,000 men of the general soldier Zhang Shushan, arrived.

As soon as he saw that the situation was critical, Zhang Shushan's Huai army immediately lined up, advanced with dense foreign gun troops, and pushed more than a dozen foreign cannons to bombard the Twist army.

The twisted army had to turn around to face the battle, and the two armies were stuck,

Although the morale of the Twist Army was strong, there were not many foreign guns, and the dense foreign gun infantry team that could not break through Zhang Shushan's Huai Army had to retreat after charging for a while, killing and wounding 100 people.

Fortunately, the Huai army was infantry, and there were few cavalry, so it could not be chased in time, so that the Twist army easily retreated for several miles.

Zhang Shushan's army immediately advanced to the city of Kaifeng, and at the same time gathered Liang Hongsheng's defeated troops and gathered.

There were more than 4,000 remnants of the Liang army, and 3,000 people from Zhang Shu's army joined forces, and the artillery of the Liang army was recovered, and they quickly retreated towards the barracks of Liang Hongsheng's troops, hoping to rely on that barracks, stick to the rectification, and wait for reinforcements.

The Luoyang army came out,

Having detected the situation on the battlefield from a distance, Luo Yang made up his mind to mobilize all the foreign artillery and move forward, and at the same time, ordered the Twist Army to eat the enemy to the death, so as not to make them quickly retreat to the barracks.

More than 3,000 cavalry of the Twist Army, entangled with the Huai Army, from time to time to stimulate it, rushed forward for a while, and then withdrew, so that the Huai Army did not dare to be negligent, once they retreated, the team was chaotic, and they would be directly defeated by the violent charge of the cavalry.

Entangled here, Luoyang's artillery quickly recommended, and the infantry and others also chased forward, and soon, caught up with the Huai army,

The Huai army was fleeing with foreign artillery, where was there a love of war, and as a result, it was bombarded by more than 40 foreign cannons of the Luoyang army, which was chaotic and fragmented, and the formation of the entire foreign gun forest team was broken.

Continue to bombard here, until the Huai army is bombarded into a bloody monster,

Huaxia Tian**'s artillery was more violent, and after suppressing the enemy, more soldiers pushed the big round iron barrel and began to advance.

"What's that?" The Huai officers and soldiers were shocked,

"Who knows."

"Are they going to hit us with that thing?"

"Go, then you have to smash it from the city wall, are you going to roll us to death."

There was speculation, and the Qing army didn't know if it was a joke.

The bombardment of foreign artillery, because the number of Luoyang occupies sometimes, with a tragic battle, smashed the artillery of the Huai army, because it was necessary to retreat, in a helpless situation, Zhang Shushan's army had to give up the artillery and quickly retreated,

It's a pity that as soon as they retreated, the cavalry of the Twist Army on the flank became entangled to death.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Luoyang army quickly approached the enemy with the flying thunder cannon and carried out a round of bombardment.

More than 50 flying thunder cannons, not a joke, many of Liang Hongsheng's officers and soldiers have been blasted by the cannons of Huaxia Tian ** in the city, and now they listen to this voice again, they know that it is powerful, and they immediately flee,

Zhang Shushan's pro-army has not suffered a loss, so he held on to the position, hoping to cover the retreat of others.

During this period, more than 700 Huai troops were shattered.

In just this round, Zhang Shushan's troops were scattered, and the officers and soldiers were blown up and lost their souls, and they no longer ignored the command of the officers, and even the threat of the saber, and fled towards the Qing army camp behind.

Zhang Shushan saw that the situation was not good, and he could only scream and order the officers and soldiers to flee quickly.

Confrontation with Huaxia Tian**, Huai Jun is a death, and if he escapes, he is even more dead.

The Huai army was in chaos, and the more than 3,000 cavalry of the Twist Army swarmed like a wolf, and instantly stepped into the Huai Army's infantry group, with swords falling in their hands, and countless human heads flying.

The Qing army fled desperately, counterattacking with foreign guns from time to time, but after all, it was helpless, and under the charge of the cavalry, only more than 1,500 people were able to survive.

In Liang Hongsheng's military camp, there were more than 500 Qing troops guarding the village, and they hurriedly opened the village to welcome the defeated soldiers.

As soon as the chief soldier Zhang Shushan entered the village, the cavalry of the Twist Army cut it and cut more than 30 Huai troops who were closed outside the village into pulp.

If it weren't for the foreign guns of the Qing army in the village, it is estimated that the crazy cavalry of the Twist Army would have rushed directly into it.

Luo Yang led the troops to kill, and the Lan Chengchun army in Kaifeng City also broke through the city, the two armies converged, the momentum was magnificent, and the camp of the Qing army was quickly surrounded.

The Qing army knew that it would die, and carried out a frenzied resistance, and these Huai troops, whose hands were stained with the blood of a large number of Taiping ** officers and soldiers and ordinary people, fought to the death and did not surrender.

It's a pity that the Qing army no longer has any heavy weapons, and can only rely on fences and trenches to barely resist.

More than 2,000 people are the last team of Liang Hongsheng's army and Zhang Shushan's army, almost 14,000 troops.

"Fight to the death to the end and serve the Qing Dynasty."

"Be loyal to the country, do your best for the people, I will die without regrets."

Zhang Shushan agitated like a spring, inciting the officers and soldiers to continue fighting,

The remnants of the people will always be used as an excuse for the people and the country,

Luo Yang could hear the shouts of the Qing army in the stockade,

"For the people, for the country." Luo Yang was annoyed, Nima, why, just because you bastards are also worthy,

In order to avoid casualties, the infantry and cavalry retreated some, bombarded with foreign cannons and flying thunder artillery,

In less than ten minutes, the camp of the Qing army was bombed into tatters, with many dead and wounded, and there were really few Qing troops alive who could fight.

Zhang Shushan's general soldier was hit by artillery fire and turned into a cloud of smoke, and he was relieved early.

After the bombardment, the officers and soldiers of Huaxia Tian ** entered the Qing army camp and successfully received the surrender of more than 100 remnants of the Qing army.

These people, although they are still alive, are already stunned and nervous,

Then, just captured the barracks here, on that side, another team of Huai officers and soldiers hurriedly came, and the military flag was marked with a big leaf character, which turned out to be the general of the Huai Army, the chief soldier Ye Zhichao's people,

Luo Yang has not yet commanded, all the Huaxia Tian** has already swarmed up, and the Qing army saw that the situation was not right, so they immediately fled.
