Chapter 623: Ambush Gaozhai

The dense fire of the three infantry battalions blocked the cavalry assault, and behind, the artillerymen were firing with full firepower and fired down on the advancing cavalry!

Even if the advancing cavalry could dodge the rifle fire, how could they dodge the artillery fire in the sky? In an instant, they were blown up by the dense shells, and they were embarrassed.

Zhang Zongyu was taken aback, and sure enough, the Qing demon had already prepared!

Looking at the cavalry that was constantly being thrown into the sky, Zhang Zongyu knew that he could only return in vain today, it was too violent, the firepower of the Qing Demon was too fierce, and it was not his own cavalry that could assault at all!

"Withdraw! Fall back! ”

Zhang Zongyu had no choice but to retreat, and the cavalry of the brigade retreated to the rear like a tide from the charge!

On the morning of the next day, the soldiers of Baoding Town, as if nothing had happened, once again devoted themselves to the attack on Kaifeng Fucheng, and it was another day! On the third day, it was still a day of onslaught!

On the first day, the Twist Army and the Taiping Army were able to barely withstand the attack of the artillery battalion in Baoding Town, and on the second day, the artillery attack became more violent, and the Twist Army and the Taiping Army also survived in front of them; On the third day, the Twist Army and the Taiping Army were even more helpless and desperate. can only stare and be beaten, the fragments of masonry and stone blown away by the cannonball, once they hit the person, it will be either dead or injured, as for being directly blown up, then it can only be broken bones, and the Daluo Immortals can't live!

After three consecutive days of shelling, several big gaps have been blown up in the city of Kaifeng Mansion, and once the Qing army launches an attack, Kaifeng Mansion will be absolutely dangerous.

However, even so, the Qing army still did not launch a general attack towards Kaifeng, but only shelling!

Until the fourth day, after half a day of shelling, the Qing artillery suddenly stopped, and the whole battalion fell into a standstill!

Not only is Lai Wenguang feeling incomprehensible now, but even Zhang Zongyu is a little confused, what happened?

In the evening, just when Zhang Zongyu felt a burst of suspicion, a small banner master of the cavalry ran over excitedly and shouted: "King Liang, King Liang!" ”

Zhang Zongyu's heart was shocked, and he shouted: "What's the matter? ”

The little flag lord replied: "Lord Wang, great news, no wonder the Qing Demon has stopped attacking, it turns out that their cannonballs are gone, they have no cannonballs!" Our scouts have just heard the news, and this morning, the Qing Demon has already sent people to Xinxiang to order people to urgently deliver cannonballs and supplies! ”

No more shells?

Zhang Zongyu was overjoyed, the artillery had no shells, so special even ordinary infantry could not compare, Guo Ye was the most powerful iron fist, at least, in a short period of time, there was no need to worry about the safety of Kaifeng Mansion, after a few days, the Taiping Army reinforcements from southern Henan should also arrive, and when the time comes, the army will gather, and it will be the time to fight to the death with the Qing demon!

Luo Yuqiu, who was on the side, said in a deep voice: "King Liang, why don't we take advantage of their lack of shells to launch another sneak attack on the artillery of the Qing army?" ”

Zhang Zongyu shook his head and replied: "Yuqiu, don't think about it, although the Qing Demon has no shells, but there are still foreign guns, Guo Ye has at least six or seven thousand infantry under his command, a large number of foreign guns shoot in turn, our cavalry can't rush up at all, once it falls into a stalemate and is killed from behind by the cavalry of the people's family, we will be really unlucky, and the surprise artillery is definitely not the best time now!" ”

Luo Yuqiu hurriedly said: "King Liang, then we can't afford to miss the opportunity, when the Qing Demon's cannonballs and supplies are transported, then the unlucky ones are us, even if our reinforcements arrive, it will still not be able to withstand the bombardment of other people's artillery!" ”

Luo Yuqiu was really scared by the artillery of Baoding Town, it was too powerful, it was not something that the Twist Army and the Taiping Army could resist at all, not to mention the Twist Army and the Taiping Army, even if the foreigners' troops were pulled up, they might not be the opponents of this Baoding Town.

Zhang Zongyu's eyes flashed with fierce light, and he said slowly: "Yuqiu, of course we can't miss the opportunity, since their positions are well defended, we can't find the opportunity, so let's give up for the time being, we don't fight their ideas, and hit their ideas on their transportation lines, aren't they mobilizing shells and supplies again?" We will stay on their way, and wipe out the Qing Demon convoy in one fell swoop, without shells, as soon as our reinforcements arrive, it will be a real decisive battle, without the cover of artillery, we will be sure to defeat Guo Ye's army in one fell swoop! “

In Zhang Zongyu's eyes, the most terrible thing is, of course, the artillery, without the artillery, the combat power of Baoding Town will be reduced by at least more than half, and their own cavalry and the Taiping Army can rest assured that they can attack boldly, one-on-one, not an opponent, then two to one, three to one, anyway, on the territory of Henan, their own troops are far superior to the Qing Demon, even if it is grinding, it is necessary to grind Guo Ye's elite of Baoding Town!

Luo Yuqiu's eyes lit up, it seems that King Liang has already made up his mind! The baggage team that sneaked up on the Qing Demon, now that the Qing Demon army is gathered under the city of Kaifeng Mansion, even if the baggage team is strong, how strong can it be? It doesn't take many people, only a thousand cavalry, and then they can be easily dealt with!

"King Liang, how about I preside over this sneak attack this time? Only a thousand cavalry are needed, and it is guaranteed that they will not be able to transport a single shell to Kaifeng City! ”

Luo Yuqiu took the initiative to ask, Zhang Zongyu glanced at Luo Yuqiu lightly, and replied: "Yuqiu, your heat is still far away!" A thousand cavalry? If you can do this with a thousand cavalry, I will give you the position of commander of the Twisted Army!" People's baggage teams don't need too many troops, even if it is two or three hundred infantry and two or three hundred rifles, you can completely block your 1,000 infantry and wait for the arrival of reinforcements behind! Do you know where the cavalry is now? I don't know! In other words, at any time, we may suffer the blow of the Qing Demon Cavalry! ”

Luo Yuqiu's face turned red, it seems that what he thinks is too simple, or King Liang thinks more thoroughly.

"Yuqiu, this time you follow me, let's act together, the goshawk and the rabbit need to go all out, not to mention that we are facing an unprecedented strong enemy?"

"Six thousand cavalry with all?"

"Yes, take them all, eat their baggage team first, go and come back quickly, it will only take three or four days!"

"And where do we ambush it?"

"Ambush in Gaozhai, it's in Gaozhai!"
