Chapter 696: Darkness Chen Cang
Indeed, there is no good way now, the firepower of the Qing Demon is too fierce!
Under the city, the artillery of the Lu army still rang non-stop, and dozens of artillery pieces continued to hit the cannonballs on the city, which brought a huge threat to the Taiping army In one day, the Taiping army suffered more than 800 casualties!
Finally, it was night, the artillery of the Qing army finally stopped, and the entire Anqing North City was in a mess, not only the city wall collapsed, but also the houses in the city were collapsed a lot, and the common people also died unluckily in the war, however, now Yan Chunyu can't take care of so much, since ancient times, he has been successful and his bones are dry, and if he wants to achieve a good reputation, where is it so easy, isn't it all piled up with white bones?
Yan Chunyu was very dissatisfied with today's daytime attack, the shells were not consumed, more than 4,000 shells were shot out, even if the second brigade had a thick foundation, it would definitely not be able to withstand such consumption for a long time, and so many shells were fired, it was not even able to destroy the opponent's city wall, it was obvious that it would take a day of the big battle tomorrow before launching a direct siege, now the time is pressing, but it can't be delayed, after a long time, the capital will not know who it will fall into that day!
He Tengjiao on the side asked, "Chunyu, how are we going to attack tomorrow?" ”
Yan Chunyu said angrily: "How to attack?" Now we can only be hard, Anqing is surrounded by water on three sides, we have no boats, we can only attack from Beicheng, ******, if you want to open a gap, it's really troublesome! ”
Yan Chunyu is not really helpless, under the cover of artillery and rockets, he can launch a strong attack, and he can do it as soon as possible, but if he attacks like this, he is afraid that the casualties are too great, which is not the best policy. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
He Tengjiao smiled: "How is it?" Can't you? When it matters, it depends on my ......"
Yan Chunyu's spirit was shocked, and he scolded with a smile: "When is it all special, do you still have the heart to sell Guanzi?" If you have something to say, if you have a fart, let it go! ”
He Tengjiao smiled: "Forget it, didn't you let us block a few Taiping reinforcements in the former?" I went to the southwest and routed a Taiping army, but found an excellent place, almost a hundred miles away from Anqing Mansion, where is Wangjiang County, where there is no garrison of the Taiping army, but there is a huge Yangtze River wharf, although it is only a county, I am afraid that it is more than twice as many ships as the entire Tongzhou! ”
Yan Chunyu glanced at He Tengjiao and asked, "You mean to say that we launched a waterway attack from Wangjiang County?" ”
He Tengjiao nodded and replied: "Yes, I will act tonight, leading three infantry battalions plus a rocket company, to Wangjiang County together, a hundred miles away, we will go with all our might, two hours will arrive, control the county government and wharf of Wangjiang County in one breath, mobilize the big boats, go straight downstream, it won't take long to reach the south city of Anqing, so that we can attack back and forth!" ”
Yan Chunyu pondered: "The method is feasible, but you don't have artillery, how can you attack the city?" With just a few cavalry battalions, you can't take the city......"
He Tengjiao replied, "Chunyu, didn't you find it during the day?" Now all the artillery in Anqing has been transferred to Beicheng, their artillery battalion has no shells, there is no artillery on the city, we use horse guns and rockets to suppress fire, and then launch cavalry, straight to the city to attack, as long as we can climb the city wall, we are in the hands of victory. Of course, this is also indispensable for your cover, launch an attack on Beicheng with all your might, and if necessary, you can launch a feint attack with infantry to attract all the forces of the Taiping Army to Beicheng and create conditions for me! ”
Yan Chunyu snapped his fingers excitedly and shouted, "Okay, it's decided!" I'm doing my best to cover you in Beicheng, you lead four cavalry battalions to move, remember, keep an eye on that pier for me, you must not leak the news, wait until the evening, and then launch a sudden attack at night, even if the Taiping army is powerful, it will definitely not be able to escape this catastrophe! ”
He Tengjiao nodded, turned around and went down to assemble the cavalry battalion.
It was already late at night, and after a whole day of fierce fighting, the Taiping army in the city was already tired and exhausted, who would have thought about what changes would happen to the position of the Lu army in the distance?
He Tengjiao gathered four cavalry battalions and galloped into the distance.
Less than a hundred miles away, for the war horses, all the way to gallop, two hours, four or five hours is enough, when the cavalry battalion arrived at the dock, the sky has not yet dawned, the workers on the dock are still asleep, they are awakened by the sound of hurried horses' hooves, two thousand cavalry galloped wildly, causing enough terrifying movements.
The people on the dock had just rushed out, and before they could understand what was going on, a cavalry had already surrounded the huge dock, and the muzzles of the muskets with black holes were aimed at the chests of the workers!
The leader of the general shouted: "You are the leader here? ”
A person stood up tremblingly and replied: "Master Jun, the younger one is Boss Xu, the steward of the dock here, you are ......"
The general is naturally He Tengjiao, He Tengjiao said in a cold voice: "First, immediately find me twenty big ships, each big ship is equipped with the most capable sailors, not one less, your ship Lao Tzu will be wrapped, the silver will not be less yours, when it is over, it will naturally return to Zhao; Second, all the people on the dock stopped working for a day today, and everyone gathered on the dock, and they were not allowed to act arbitrarily, otherwise, there would be no mercy, and our bullets would not have long eyes! Third, all the things that happened to you here today are strictly forbidden to be leaked, and if one person leaks the news, Lao Tzu will kill his whole family! ”
Boss Xu looked at the cavalry of thousands of people, one by one murderous, each with a foreign gun and a saber, it was really terrifying, Boss Xu's legs had already begun to turn, how dare not agree? Don't talk about yourself, even the county magistrate doesn't dare to put a fart here! This is no joke!
"Clearly, understood, I'll prepare the ship......
Boss Xu secretly complained in his heart, he stopped work for a day, and he didn't know how much money he would lose on the dock, damn the big soldier, but let you be killed!
The golden waterway of the Yangtze River, the large wharf, if you want to find twenty big ships, it will be like playing, it will not take long, it will be ready, and the five sailors on a big ship will look at the cavalry with pale faces.
He Tengjiao shouted: "The second battalion stays to guard the dock, absolutely no personnel need to enter or exit, if you find out the situation, you are allowed to deal with it yourself, and the remaining three battalions are all on the boat and set off immediately!" ”
