Chapter Ninety-Two: Taking the City

"Nima, dare to fight with Lao Tzu and see how Lao Tzu plays you to death!" Luo Yang put down the telescope, commanded the troops, and forced the mountains and fields towards the Deyang City Wall.

The fierce battles and bloody scenes made every participating soldier glow with great courage, shouting, and moving forward bravely.

"Kill! Kill! "Along the way, all the wounded soldiers of the Qing army were slashed and killed by the Han officers and soldiers, and everyone knew that the military discipline was strict, but no one could help but retaliate.

The defeated soldiers of the Qing army are still resisting, and the artillery of the Qing army's city defense troops is still bombarding, causing certain casualties to the Luoyang army, so the Luoyang army is also red-eyed.

Luo Yang personally led the guards to rush forward, and the tidal Han army trampled on the corpses of the Qing army, mutilated and broken flesh, helmets, uniforms, sabers, spears, foreign guns, and frantically chased.

"Ahem!" A Han soldier grabbed a spear and threw it forward with a slight step.

"Ahh A Qing soldier who was galloping was shot in the back, and was hit with a fierce force, piercing directly through the chest, and helplessly fell to the ground.

The Qing soldiers who could run as fast as they could, or those who couldn't, or saw that the Luo Yang army had already chased after them, so they simply didn't run, wielding short knives to kill, they shouted like beasts, struggling the last despair to the extreme.

Pure tearing and killing, many people don't even have the most basic beliefs, standing in one camp, they start a beastly battle, many times, you can hear the dull popping of the tips of bayonets and spears, that is when they pierce into the ** and stir the internal organs.

Many of the wounded officers and soldiers let out a long, high-pitched wail, and this terrifying sound made the victors even more crazy.

The Luoyang army swept through the trench, rolled across the moat, and gathered directly under the city of Deyang, some looked up and shot, some cursed loudly, and some looked for a breakthrough. Because of the sudden victory, a chase battle turned into a farce of disorder.

The Qing army's city defense troops adjusted their tactics in time, lowered the angle of artillery bombardment, and bombarded the city, and all the officers and soldiers distributed along the battlements of the city wall also fired foreign guns indiscriminately, and even threw some traditional heavy objects to defend the city downward.

"Hit! Beat! Smash all the long hairs to death! ”

"You can't let the longhair live!"

Liu Rongtie, the commander of the Qing army, stood at the head of the city with a blue face, wearing a military uniform, holding a short sword, and was full of spirit, and the failure of several decisive battles did not wear out his sharpness, as a senior clerk in the Hunan army, he now personally went to the battlefield and commanded the officers and soldiers of all departments to fight bravely.

Under the influence of his command, the Hunan army fought quite effectively, especially those foreign guns and artillery, which caused heavy casualties to the Luoyang army.

Pieces of Luoyang troops gathered under Deyang City were hit by guns and shells, and they were either killed or wounded.

Because of the obstruction of the city wall, the situation suddenly reversed, which was extremely unfavorable to the Luoyang army.

On the one hand, the Luoyang army used foreign guns to confront the Qing army's city defense troops, and on the other hand, they quickly advanced to the city with weapons such as flying thunder cannons, and then, skillfully, ignited primers and bombarded the city violently.

More than 80 flying thunder cannons are not a joke.

The Qing army was also aware, especially those who had gone through the Battle of Purple Land and the Battle of Chengdu, and immediately understood the danger of the enemy's strange big iron barrel, and decisively bombarded them with foreign artillery.

Exactly involved, a violent explosion, blasted dozens of Han artillery into the air, or shattered into powder!

Luoyang's artillery took a risk and quickly began to return fire.

One by one, explosive packets rose into the sky and flew towards the head of Deyang City.

Rumble! A flying thunder shell hit the city, and without waiting for the Qing army to hesitate to reflect, a loud noise was heard, and the thick black smoke spread to the surroundings, and in the smoke, on the city wall five or six zhang long, the Qing officers and soldiers were blown to pieces!

The violent wave of qi threw many Qing soldiers up from the city, threw them down again, and smashed them into countless blood scoops with an intact gourd.

After the first round of bombardment took effect, the artillery fire of the Qing army was completely suppressed, and in the smoke, the Qing army coughed and struggled to open their eyes at the same time, because they could not see clearly in front of them at all.

Taking advantage of the chaos of the Qing army and the intermission of artillery, the Luoyang army attacked more bravely, and many soldiers rushed towards the city gate of Deyang, blasted it with grenades, cut it with sabers, wanted to destroy the city gate, and rushed in.

Although the south gate of the city was opened because of the absconding of the defeated soldiers, now, it was resisted to the death by the Qing army in the city, the half-foot-thick wooden door of the copper hoop, extremely heavy, huge propulsion, so that it was completely closed, even if the earthen grenade smashed on, it was only a small sound, a cloud of black smoke!

"Cut, cut, I don't believe that the little demon heads can keep drilling in the turtle shell and not come out!"

The on-site officer who commanded the attack, a small company commander, was so angry that his left foot was blown up by the enemy and he limped up and slashed with a knife.

Special forces came and immediately let the soldiers take refuge, and immediately, several large explosive bags were buried at the bottom of the city gate, and the fire rope was ignited.

The Qing army's troops at the city tower, sensing the danger, immediately threw torches under the doorway, and the torches soaked in cooking oil emitted a blazing flame, which ignited many soldiers of the Luoyang army.

Rumble! Several explosive packets were set off, and the violent explosion made the earth shiver with fear, and made the hearts of everyone on the battlefield tremble.

The south gate of Deyang City was completely blown down, and the two huge city gates, like the shy and pitiful bride of the cave room on a candle night, completed the stage of transformation in life in the shock of pain.

As soon as the explosion fell, the nearby Luoyang army jumped up and rushed towards the hole in the city gate, and let out an excited, beastly hiss. "Kill, kill!"

The tide of the Luoyang army surged in from the dilapidated doorway, and the gate of Deyang City, after the bloody battle, broke open.

The artillery of the Luoyang Army, in accordance with the requirements of the training, continued to attack and shoot, with a range of more than 260 meters, which could bring many enemy troops on the city wall into the scope of "welfare guarantee".

Liu Rong was bombarded by shrapnel again and was injured, he insisted on standing at the head of the city and resolutely did not get out of the line of fire, but his personal guards knew that he didn't want to escape, but wanted to put on a show and show his handsome demeanor!

Literati are stinky and want to die to save face activists.

Liu Rong, under the support and cover of the guards, seized the road and fled.

The Luoyang army entered the city and continued to chase the enemy with superior firepower, but as a result, the Qing army suffered heavy casualties and retreated.

Soon, the Luoyang army all entered the city, and the combination of infantry, artillery and cavalry, and frequent attacks, especially the suppressive strikes of artillery, enabled the infantry and cavalry to occupy a large area of the city at a very small cost, and crushed all the stubborn resistance of the Qing army.

The cavalry carried out the interspersed operation very rationally, which was taught by Luo Yang to the officers and to the cavalry fast column, and the cavalry penetrated, surrounded, and rushed, so that the depth of the Qing army was constantly shaken, and the retreat from the larger urban area to the rear.

The situation of the battle was amazing, more than 13,000 Qing troops, plus more officials, petty officials, regimental training village braves, etc., the number of more than 20,000 troops was beaten by 8,000 Luoyang troops who could only parry, and had no power to fight back.

An hour later, the Qing army collapsed, fled outside the city, and took refuge in all directions, and the cavalry of the Luoyang army was hundreds of people, bravely pursuing and achieving great results.

The bright banner of the Han Heavenly Kingdom was planted all over the head of Deyang City, and on the ruin-like city tower, the rejoicing soldiers of the Han Heavenly Kingdom became a shocking scenery.
