Zong Yue, as a fierce general in the Chu army, got Zuo Zongtang's order, and began to attack as soon as possible, and the Qing army of more than 1,000 people was once again put into the battle, and with a moment of blood and bravery, he finally beat back the Taiping army that rushed up!

Zuo Zongtang breathed a long sigh of relief, fortunately, Zong Yue is still more powerful, as long as he doesn't let Changmao rush in, he will have time to make a new deployment! Shi Dakai thought about attacking the city easily!

However, Zuo Zongtang thought too simply, why did Shi Dakai leave you a lot of respite?

Shi Dakai saw that his team was beaten back, his eyes were condensed, he was able to turn the tide of the battle in a short time, I am afraid that it is definitely Zuo Zongtang who has arrived in person, and only Zuo Zongtang can make the Qing Demon as crazy as if he had been beaten with chicken blood!

Shi Dakai knows that Zuo Zongtang is powerful, and he must not give this guy a chance to arrange calmly, once he is given a chance to breathe, then he wants to capture Shaoxing, but it will be a lot more difficult!

"Order, two foreign gun battalions move closer to the middle and attack!"

Shi Dakai once again issued an order to attack, this time, abandon the Taiping Army, directly use the foreign gun battalion to attack, the rifle is planted with a bright bayonet, the soldiers of the foreign gun battalion, are Shi Dakai's elite division, not only with firearms, its hand-to-hand combat, also outstanding, two foreign gun battalions of more than 1,000 people, towards the city again launched a charge!

Above the city, Zuo Zongtang had not had time to deploy, two foreign gun battalions squeezed over again, and behind them were the Taiping army armed with big swords and spears and bird guns.

Zuo Zongtang was in a hurry, deploy, deploy a fart, there was no time at all, once they rushed into the city again, and wanted to beat them back like just now, it would be difficult!

In the flash of light, a crazy thought flashed out of Zuo Zongtang, the best defense is to attack! Since you want to attack, then Lao Tzu still wants to attack!

"Kou Ruchou, pull all five of your battalions up and launch a counter-charge for me! Even if it's hand-to-hand combat, you have to beat them down for me! ”

Zuo Zongtang roared angrily.

Kou Ruchou gritted his teeth and counter-charged, to put it nicely, the opposite side is a foreign gun team! The firepower of the people is so dense, I am afraid that before they can rush to the front of Long Hair, they will suffer heavy casualties!

However, now that Zuo Zongtang's military order has been issued, it is impossible to change it, and only face-to-face hand-to-hand combat can suppress the muskets of the Taiping army!

"Brothers, follow me, charge!"

Kou Ru got rid of his big sword, pulled out the waist knife on his waist, and rushed out first!

The guns of the Taiping army sounded like bursting beans, the bullets rained down, the Chu army in the charge fell one by one, Zuo Zongtang's heart was like frying, these are the elite of the lineage who have followed him for many years, and they can't afford to lose, but now Shaoxing City is in danger, and he can't take care of it much!

After paying nearly 1,000 casualties, the Chu army of more than 2,000 people finally rushed to the front of the foreign gun battalion and began a fierce hand-to-hand combat, and the Taiping army did not show weakness, listening to the cold bayonets constantly attacking the Chu army, and in the rear, the Taiping army also rushed up, and the two sides fell into a melee!

Zuo Zongtang saw it clearly, when Kou Ruchou was charging, the casualties he paid were too great, and now the troops are insufficient, and he is no longer able to kill the long hair, and he is being coerced by the Taiping army to approach the city!

Zuo Zongtang glanced at Zong Yue and shouted, "Zong Yue, lead your three battalions to press me up!" ”

Zong Yue agreed, and led his three battalions to rush forward again, Zuo Zongtang said coldly: "Immediately send me an order to mobilize five more battalions over!" Today's battle must completely defeat the Taiping army, otherwise, don't think that you can keep Shaoxing Mansion! ”

Shi Dakai looked coldly at the melee in front of him, at this time, the courage of the Qing army has not been lost, and it is not so easy to defeat the opponent, just in a melee, let the foreign gun battalion suffer heavy losses, but it can't be done!

"Order, the artillery battalion launched an artillery bombardment again, attacked, and ordered Zhang Xiaoshan to lead his three thousand Taiping troops to continue to storm Shaoxing City from the flank!"

Shi Dakai gave an order, the two artillery battalions launched an attack again, more than a dozen artillery shells were sent to the head of Shaoxing City, causing a violent explosion, the city wall of Shaoxing City was in disrepair, it was not strong, under the attack of artillery, it collapsed, and the situation was more urgent.

The most terrible thing is that Zuo Zongtang has been standing on the top of the city in order to boost morale, a cannonball flew over, and in the middle of Zuo Zongtang's vicinity, the city wall collapsed again, and the unlucky Zuo Zongtang was not careful, and lifted it off the city, threw a dog to gnaw mud, and even scratched his clothes!

The surrounding generals were shocked, and hurriedly ran over to rescue Zuo Zongtang, and some of the Qing troops outside the city could see it clearly, and the adults were blown up like that, and they didn't know whether they were alive or dead! When he landed, the morale in his heart was deflated, and the leaders were gone, so where did he still have the heart to fight?

Zong Yue's eyes were shattered, and he roared angrily: "Retreat, retreat, protect your lord!" ”

The Qing army retreated like a tide, and the Taiping army was like a mad tiger, constantly attacking, and arrived at the head of the city in the blink of an eye.

When Zuo Zongtang looked up again, the Taiping Army was already close at hand, Zuo Zongtang was shocked and inexplicable, and roared angrily: "Order, the whole army will definitely beat me down when I go to war, quickly, go to war!" ”

The generals behind hurriedly said: "My lord, now that Xicheng is in danger, you can't be here anymore, the long-haired artillery is too powerful!" ”

The chief soldier Liu Dian shouted angrily: "Quick, immediately protect the adults and return to the prefect's yamen!" ”

Several pro-soldiers set up the struggling Zuo Zongtang and retreated towards the back.

At this time, the morale of the Qing army was low, where was it still the opponent of the Taiping army? There are more and more Taiping troops entering Shaoxing City, and the 3,000 Taiping Army led by the commander Zhang Xiaoshan is even more brave and abnormal, constantly impacting the southwest direction of Shaoxing City, and the Qing army in the southwest direction is also struggling, and some can't support it!

Lost Zuo Zongtang's seat, whether it was Liu Dian or Zong Yue, they could not organize the offensive of the Taiping Army, and constantly retreated, and the entire Xicheng fell into the hands of the Taiping Army.
