The two armies fought bloodily and did not retreat, especially the cavalry of the Qing army, which occupied an absolute battlefield advantage, and killed the infantry of the Taiping Army led by Shi Dakai to the point of blood and heavy casualties.

The Taiping army is not all about parrying, but also actively counterattacking, many people are like this, since they can't escape, but they have a desperate fighting spirit, especially the veterans who have participated in the battle many times.

"Kill! Fight to the end with the Qing Demon. ”

With the iron spear and gun as the pillar, several Taiping soldiers combined to become a small hedgehog on the battlefield, and directly stabbed the rampaging Qing cavalry into a blood gourd scoop.

After a large number of casualties, the Taiping army and the Qing army entered a phase of stalemate.

A large number of the old, weak, sick and disabled and their families took refuge in the city, and the city gate was finally opened. Luo Yang stood at the head of the city and urged the artillery to continue to bombard the enemy.

"But, King Rui, our brothers are here." Zeng Shihe and other generals followed Luo Yang into the city, and cried urgently when they saw the tragic battle under the city.

"Keep shooting!"

"In case one of our people is injured by mistake......" Huang Zaizhong insisted on leading the cavalry back to the rescue.

Luo Yang did not give them a chance and violently bombarded the Qing army outside the city. Especially for the battlefield that was entangled and occupied by the Qing army, it was decisively bombarded.

It's not how decisive and heroic his temperament is, but the fierce battle has been so far, what else can be said rationally?

There are more than 20 foreign cannons left by the Qing army's city guards, and there are more cannonballs, which have become the advantageous weapons of the Luoyang army this time, only to see the whistling cannonballs rising from the head of Chengdu City, crossing a colorful trajectory in the air, and then accurately smashing on the head of the Qing army.

No matter how much the cavalry of the Qing army carried out in a guerrilla posture, they could not escape the speed of the shells.

The artillery bombardment quickly turned the situation around, and the Qing army was overwhelmed by the air wave of artillery shells, one after another, group after group, because of the speed of the attack, all the officers and men who were overthrown, without exception, were either killed or wounded.

The Qing cavalry cluster, which had charged the most and had gathered under the city of Chengdu, tried to return and divide the Taiping troops, and the Qing cavalry cluster that was attacked from north to south was taken care of by the Luoyang army, and as a result, before it had time to turn, it was completely bombarded.

More seriously, the sound of the violent explosion was unprecedented, and the cavalry of the Qing army was frightened, and many horses could not bear the crazy noise and turned to flee. Or simply fight against the master's rider.

A large number of Qing troops were bombarded and killed, and the ranks were extremely chaotic, and the self-confidence momentum of charging forward at the beginning was suddenly lost.

Thinking about the opposite, the soldiers of the Taiping Army were awakened by the shocking sound of the artillery of their own troops, cheered up, and saw that the cavalry of the Qing army had lost their power, and immediately shouted a tsunami: "Kill, the Qing demon is defeated, the Qing demon is defeated!" "My General Luoyang's cannon is mighty!"

Luo Yang and his cannon have become the spiritual pillar of the Taiping Army, and with this belief, the remnants of the Taiping Army suddenly let out a tiger roar.

Many Taiping soldiers threw their weapons at the nearby enemy cavalry, and this kind of javelin for infantry against cavalry was originally prepared, and once it could be organized to resist, it could exert considerable power.

Shi Dakai was seriously wounded, his face was bleeding, but he did not retreat, shouted loudly, and led his cronies to move forward, they were cavalry, about dozens of people, directly engaged the Qing army, and blocked this Qing army to the death.

After he had fallen off his horse, he was rescued by his subordinates. The sabers of the cavalry of both armies shone brightly and roared, and the grass was soaked red with blood.

The defeat of the Qing army began with the killing of their commander.

At the time of the fierce battle, Luo Yang began to command the troops, mainly with rapid shooting, creating a kind of momentum, to prevent the deterioration of the battlefield situation, but after basically turning the tide of the battle, he began to pay attention to the efficiency and accuracy of the artillery bombardment. He used the Western telescope that only senior generals of the Taiping Army had, carefully observed the battlefield, and then personally operated a foreign cannon and began to kill coldly.

The use of artillery for sniping is a high-level battle in Luo Yang's opinion, if there is no efficient battle, the enemy cannot be defeated quickly, and the consumption of artillery shells is too outrageous.

The clothes of the officers of the Qing army are slightly different from those of ordinary soldiers, especially in this situation of melee on the battlefield, which needs to be serious. Luo Yang operated a foreign cannon, aimed at a place, fired two cannons in a row, and commanded other artillery to aim at this target.

The fifty or sixty cavalry of the Qing army in the densest place were suddenly bombarded by artillery shells and fell into the smoke and fireworks, and when the smoke cleared, only a few people were able to escape on horseback.

A Qing army officer was hit by a cannon in Luoyang, and more than a dozen Qing cavalry were all cut down by the fragments of the shells, and none of them missed the net.

The flag of the Qing army is a sign of the position of the leading officer, so Luo Yang specially hit the enemy's flag, and decisively ordered to reduce the frequency of firing and pay attention to aiming at the target.

The artillery of the Taiping Army was not so panicked, because the battle situation was basically stable, so, according to Luo Yang's instructions, they looked for the enemy's target and then bombarded.

This kind of foreign artillery, imported from Britain and Germany, has a range of more than three or four thousand meters, so there is no problem in attacking the Qing army under the city.

The supreme commander of the cavalry of the Qing army was a newly promoted deputy general, he was holding the reins of his horse and observing the situation, the fierce artillery fire of the Taiping army made him very distressed and angry, otherwise, he would have annihilated the Taiping army outside the city a long time ago.

"You, there, rush me! Rush! And you, there, it seems to be the core of the Long-Haired Army, rush me! Let's scramble first! ”

"Yes!"

Mr. Adjutant General, who was pointing the country and exalting his pride, suddenly heard a clear whistle of cannonballs.

How can there be no such thing on the battlefield? He's the one who crawled out of the pile of dead people, and he's already been through countless dangers, so he doesn't care!

"Up! There! Our army will not be victorious! ”

The Qing army was also ruthless, because the Taiping army actually broke the gate of Chengdu frantically and captured part of it, if their cavalry could not turn the tide, then the Qing army had to flee from Chengdu to be a wanderer.

The cavalry of the Qing army could not give up, and could only fight to the death.

Woo! The cry of the cannonball reached the top of the head in an instant, so many Qing cavalry around him shouted: "General! Hide! ”

From a small black dot to a quick magnification, in front of his eyes, there was only a short stunned effort, and the lieutenant waved his saber before he could wake up, and the cannonball smashed in front of his horse.

If it is a solid projectile of an ordinary iron-cast cannon, what is he afraid of? Since the Hunan army left the division, it has faced this situation many times, in the Taiping army's shells, Hunan officers and soldiers bare-chested, shirtless, with flesh and blood, the Taiping army rushed to kill!

Rumble!

The projectile cracked, bursting out with a large cloud of smoke and broken pieces of iron, and Mr. Adjutant felt a lot of stinging pain and warmth coming at him in an instant, and a huge wave of air blew towards him, and he was on the horse, like a poor little leaf, suddenly broke away from the horse's back, and flew backwards.

"Ahh He instinctively let out a long howl of terror.

Rumble! Another shot.

Boom, another shot!

In the dense area of the Qing army, several dozens of cavalrymen were constantly surrounded by shrapnel and bombarded, with heavy casualties.
