That night, the Qing army launched an attack on the Huaxia army in the west of the city, and hundreds of Qing soldiers quietly lurked out of the city under the dark night, groped their way to the position of the Huaxia army, and suddenly attacked.

The Chinese army was in the long wall on the shore of the ravine, and the attack on the Qing army had been prepared for a long time, and they were all in motion, and when the Qing army swarmed up, they lit grenades to bombard.

The violent explosion sounded the Qing army, and some dry firewood ignited also reflected the movement of the Qing army.

The fierce battle continued, the Huaxia army fired bullets and bombed, expelled the Qing army, the Qing army killed and wounded dozens of people, shrewdly broke away from the battle, fled back to the city,

As soon as the battle here ended, the Qing army troops attacked the defense line of the Huaxia army in other areas, causing a fierce battle, because the Qing army attacked with sophisticated movements, and once succeeded, assassinated more than a dozen people of the Huaxia army, and entered the long siege.

Zuo Zongtang was on the city wall, observing with a telescope, and several generals were also judging the reflection of the Huaxia army.

"How's that?"

"That's it."

Zuo Zongtang didn't say anything, this kind of small-scale attack was to test the enemy's ability, and not decide the victory, so soon after the attack began, his troops returned one after another.

The Qing army attacked the Huaxia army in several places in a row, causing a situation where everyone was disturbed, looking at the defensive lights of the Huaxia army, Zuo Zongtang sneered,

Zuo Zongtang's approach of attacking and defending is quite good, which makes the Chinese officers and soldiers worried, the Huaxia army relies on firepower, and it is quite a headache for the night battle.

The night was heavy, and finally lifted, the morning light came to the world, Luo Yang regained his consciousness after taking a nap,

"King Rui, the Qing army is very rampant." The officers reported one after another,

"It's okay, just let them jump for two more days, no, one more day." Luo Yang stretched out his arm and yawned, "Today, let's kill Zuo Zongtang." ”

"Ahh

Anyway, he had already expressed his respect to Zuo Zongtang and expressed his advice, if he was obsessed, there was no way, Luo Yang immediately gathered officers, inspected the battlefields everywhere, and ordered everyone to break the city,

Seeing that the Huaxia army was turbulent on the whole front, there seemed to be a tendency to attack the city, Zuo Zongtang was not at all worried, he was not afraid, and even eager for the enemy to attack, if the enemy came to attack the city, he promised to give the Huaxia army a bloody lesson, and use his flowering foreign cannonballs to blow the enemy into rags.

The attack of the Huaxia army was a key breakthrough, and Luoyang's troops, concentrated more than 30 foreign cannons, suddenly bombarded from the ditch bank of the besieged city, and bombarded the city wall near the south gate of the Qing army, not to knock down the city wall, but to bombard the enemy on the city.

Cannons roared, shells whistled, explosions sounded, and in an instant, the city wall of Hangzhou was filled with gunsmoke, with many casualties.

The Qing army was also quite cunning, and immediately retreated all the officers and soldiers and hid themselves.

A small number of artillery of the Qing army condescended, aimed at the artillery positions of the Huaxia army, and fired retaliatory,

As soon as Luo Yang saw it, he immediately mobilized more than ten foreign cannons, all of which had been hidden for a long time, and after calculating the position, he bombarded the enemy's artillery.

In order to ensure the smooth operation of the battle, Luo Yang instructed the Huaxia army to launch an offensive on three sides, and the large-scale feint tactics attracted the attention of the Qing army and confused Zuo Zongtang.

Zuo Zongtang had no fear, deployed troops, defended on all fronts, and at the same time, he also keenly judged the direction of the main attack of the Huaxia Army, reinforcing troops,

The Huaxia army is not afraid of Zuo Zongtang's intelligence and ability, anyway, the artillery of the Huaxia army is several times that of the Qing army, and it has defeated the Huai soldiers and Hunan soldiers of the Qing army in a row, and has captured too many weapons.

When the Qing army saw the Huaxia army bombarding the area around the south gate of the city, they knew that the situation was not good, and immediately took the risk to reinforce artillery from the city wall.

At this moment, the flying thunder artillery of the Huaxia army was mobilized from the hidden ravine, and the soldiers rolled forward quickly with the thick iron buckets, and then, as soon as they arrived at the bottom of the city, they erected and installed gunpowder, installed explosives packs, and bombarded the city wall.

More than 50 flying thunder cannons, both in terms of firing speed and striking power, were much more powerful than foreign artillery, and they fired blockade fire from both ends, isolating the middle section of the city wall of more than 500 meters.

The Qing army, which was rescuing, was swallowed up by the explosion of a violent explosive package as soon as they approached the front.

The follow-up troops of the Qing army were scared and cried, Nima, is this a war, this is obviously looking for death,

With skillful blockade tactics, a local isolated attack was realized, and the flying thunder artillery group cleared the Qing army on the city wall, and the hidden Qing army, looking at the terrible appearance of the fire on the city wall, could not approach at all, and sometimes, there were a few shells, falling under the city wall, and the hidden Qing army was blown into pieces.

More than 3,000 elite Qing troops tried to approach the south gate of the city, reinforce there, and intercept possible enemy forces sufficiently, but, under the fierce fire, they did not dare to take a step forward at all.

"Up, up, those who dare to disobey will be killed." The leader of the army was furious, brandishing his saber and roaring,

The Qing army had no choice but to charge in an all-out way, and as a result, they were swallowed up by the smoke screen of artillery shells.

Clusters of Qing officers and soldiers died in vain under the roar of artillery fire, more than 3,000 officers and soldiers, only 300 people were able to reinforce the city, and they did not wait for a few minutes, and they were directly blown away by artillery fire.

One by one, the explosive packs were transported to the artillery positions, and the Huaxia artillery was in full swing: "Hurry, hurry." ”

Under the bombardment of artillery, more than 500 infantrymen, carrying foreign guns, grenades, bayonets, etc., swaggered close to the city wall, and where the artillery fire was vacated, they came to the outside of the urn city, and the Qing army on the urn city had already called the cannon to bombard, so the infantry of the Huaxia army came directly to the city gate, piled up on the city gate with explosives bags, lit it, and left in style.

After the city gate was blown open, the infantry of the Huaxia Army swarmed in, and in this way, after half an hour of artillery battle, the Huaxia Army easily broke the city.

As soon as the infantry broke through the city, they immediately occupied the vital points, and the artillery also changed the direction of the attack, extending the fire on both sides of the city wall, or bombarding the streets of the city, making way for the infantry.

The follow-up infantry of the Chinese Army quickly passed through the south gate of the city, extended to the inside of the city, and occupied more places, the Qing army resisted bravely, and they also had foreign guns and bombs, so relying on the houses of residents and the barricades built by them, they shot stubbornly,

The artillery of the Huaxia Army quickly rushed to the city, the foreign artillery was still outside the city because of the difficulty of transportation, guided by the infantry of the Huaxia Army on the city, attacking the enemy, and the flying thunder artillery was transported to the city in large quantities, becoming an auxiliary tool for the infantry, within 20 minutes of breaking the city gate, there were more than 80 flying thunder cannons gathered in the city, becoming a powerful cover for the infantry,

This is a terrifying number, one by one more than 20 catties of gunpowder packages, soaring into the air, hitting the head of the Qing army more than 200 meters, smashing the Qing army with heavy casualties.
