Zuo Liangyu was extremely alert, and as soon as Gao Yang's side started shelling, he was shocked in his heart. understood that this Beijing camp outside the city was not something he could fight against. In a very short time, he turned around and descended the city wall and hid in a safe place in the back.

After the gate tower with a conspicuous target was blown down, the first blow to the morale of the enemy army. The targets of the subsequent shelling were the artillery that had been placed on the city walls. The artillerymen under Zuo Liangyu were also desperately firing back, trying to destroy the terrifying cannons in the Beijing camp outside the city.

However, their heavy guns, though placed on high walls, had a much higher range and range than before. However, it was still impossible to reach the artillery positions of the New Army on the other side of the Han River.

The defenders' artillery fired indiscriminately for a while, in addition to stirring up a large splash on the clear Han water, killing many fish, shrimp, turtles and turtles. There was no threat to Gaoyang's artillery.

Wait until Gaoyang's artillerymen concentrate their fire on them and start to target the killing. In just a quarter of an hour. These have undergone long-term rigorous training, use advanced observation equipment, and have rich practical experience. The artillerymen, who had fired at least hundreds of shells from each artillery group, quickly destroyed all the beast artillery on the northern wall of Xiangyang.

After removing the long-range threat, Gao Yang took out a full set of military boat bridge equipment from the storage space. Under the command and operation of the biochemical warriors, the construction of a wide metal pontoon bridge on the Han River soon began.

Zuo Liangyu, who received these news, was frightened, and hurriedly ordered his sailors to attack, trying to destroy the deadly pontoon bridge.

What kind of sailor is it, but in fact it is just some wooden boats. A dozen large ships were equipped with some artillery, and the rest were small sampans for fishing. That is, he can only show off his might in front of people like Li Zicheng who have no water masters. In the face of hundreds of artillery positions, it is not enough to see at all.

Wait until Zuo Liangyu's water division opens out of the water gate of Xiangyang City. Gao Yang quickly locked on to these ships. The artillerymen suspended the suppressive bombardment of the city walls, turned their guns and began to bombard the sailors violently.

How could such a wooden ship withstand hundreds of ferocious artillery bombardments? After a rain of bullets, many boats swirled and slowly sank into the water. And even the unlucky ones. was directly smashed into pieces by the dense rain of bullets.

Most of the sailors on the boat are fishermen who make a living on the Han River, and they are all good at water. Although the ship is gone. But most of them were able to escape by diving.

Those unlucky ones who were killed directly sank to the bottom and fed the fish and shrimp, which is not bad. Those who are wounded are called miserable. Obviously, the water is good, but because of the injury, he can only watch himself drowned alive. This is probably called drowning in the water.

The few sailors who were lucky enough to fall behind the ship looked terrified and rowed their oars with all their might, trying to escape from this dangerous place as quickly as possible.

As for the old robes who shouted at them in the water, shouting the names of these sailors for help. Now no one cares. For these people who have no military discipline, after all, their own lives are more important.

A large area on the Han River is dyed red!

These Beast Army's sailor warships went from entering the range of artillery to the last few lucky ones escaping from the sky. It took less than half an hour. The sailors who were still alive didn't even dare to return to Xiangyang City, so they fled far away along the Han River with their boats.

"Damn! When did Jingying be able to fight like this?! Zuo Liangyu, who was hiding in the distance, put down the claircopy mirror he got from Xiyi in his hand, and muttered with disbelief on his face.

He's a veteran of old battles. Perennial bandits, and also cooperated with the Beijing camp sent by the Beijing Division. He knew a lot about that camp.

In Zuo Liangyu's impression, more than half of the salaries in Beijing were empty, and most of the rest of the people were some ruffians, and there were even beggars who were temporarily brought in to make up the numbers. There is no combat power at all.

Those Jingying generals from families are all dignified and powerful. But when the time comes to engage in battle, he must be the first to escape. Some of these generals from Beijing even ran faster than him, a long-distance running general!

Zuo Liangyu dares to do any bad thing, and a large part of the reason is that the weakness of these Beijing camps has given him great confidence. The Guanning Iron Cavalry had to defend against the strong Manchu Qing outside the pass, and it would not be easy to enter the pass. Jingying is so weak, who else will he Zuo Liangyu be afraid of?

I never expected that. It's just a few years of effort. In the past, the Jingying that collapsed by itself without fighting has become so strong!

It only took less than an hour to defeat Xiangyang City and the water division that he relied on. Is this still a fucking camp?! It can't be that the Manchu army changed its flag and disguised it, right?!

Gao Yang's army moved quickly, after suppressing the counterattack fire of the beast army. The pontoon bridge was quickly erected. A battalion of musket-wielding New Army soldiers quickly crossed the unusually stable metal pontoon bridge in the middle of the Han River rapids. quickly came to the city of Xiangyang.

"Quick!" Zuo Liangyu rode his horse and galloped through the panicked Xiangyang City, and after returning to his luxurious mansion, he rushed directly into the compound. shouted loudly to his subordinates, "Load all the valuable things into the wagon." Let's go!!! ”

Zuo Liangyu's nickname is the runaway general, and he is a very discerning character. Seeing that nothing could be done, he immediately decided to pack up and run away. As long as you can save your life, you will naturally have a chance to turn over in the future. This is the experience he has summed up after many years of escaping. As for the wives and concubines in the mansion, who can care about their lives and deaths at this time?

A delicate concubine who was usually favored fell to the ground and hugged Zuo Liangyu's legs, crying loudly and asking Zuo Liangyu to take her away.

Of course, Zuo Liangyu's women were all robbed. With their own lives, these robbed women naturally think that the besieging army is the same scum and scum as Zuo Liangyu. I am afraid that I will be miserable again after being left behind, or even killed. They were all crying and making noise to follow Zuo Liangyu.

Where can Zuo Liangyu, who is fierce by nature, stand this? was at the critical juncture of escaping, but someone pulled him and didn't let him go?! Isn't this trying to kill yourself?

Zuo Liangyu, who was furious, suddenly became vicious. There was a 'choking' sound. Zuo Liangyu drew his saber. A cold light flashed, and the beautiful concubine's head full of disbelief was cut off to the ground.

Now there is no one to stop Zuo Liangyu from escaping.

Don't look at Zuo Liangyu's command, who claims to have 200,000 soldiers. But what kind of general there is, what kind of soldier there is.

These beast armies under Zuo Liangyu are okay to bully those unarmed ordinary people on weekdays, and they are all extremely brave. But when they actually come into the face of those who have been rigorously trained. When there are elite troops with serious military discipline. They will be beaten back to their original form on the spot.

"Boom !!" With a huge roar that shook the entire Xiangyang City, the wide and thick gate of the northern city wall was blown open by more than a dozen barrels of military gunpowder!

The city is broken.

A large group of new army sergeants quickly entered the city of Xiangyang according to their own formations and began the carpet removal work.

Zuo Liangyu's army collapsed. With the enemy already in the city and their commander fleeing first, their morale collapsed, and almost all of them scurried around like headless flies. Most of the people fled through the gates. There are also many blind beast army soldiers who take the opportunity to plunder in the city and do all kinds of evil.

Gao Yang knew that Zuo Liangyu had escaped from Xiangyang City. His whereabouts have been monitored by unmanned reconnaissance aircraft at high altitudes. I can't run away anyway, so I'm not in a hurry for the time being.

For Gao Yang, the first task now is to settle the panicked Xiangyang City and do a good job of cleaning up the battlefield.

With the lessons learned in Shenyang City before, after entering Xiangyang City this time, the new army sergeants all formed a tight formation. Area by area is cleaned up, not far from each other. We are always available to support the robes.

As more and more new army sergeants entered Xiangyang City through the pontoon bridge, the entire Xiangyang City had completely fallen into the control of the new army before dark.

The people here were tossed for a long time by Zuo Liangyu and his beast army. I have long hated those officers and soldiers, and I am also afraid of them. After the new army entered Xiangyang City, most of the people closed the doors of their houses, and people were worried that the new officers and soldiers would break in.

They were wrong this time. The most important thing for the new army is military discipline. Sergeants who violate military discipline will never be relentless. Therefore, the military discipline of the new army is extremely strict, and there will absolutely be no disturbance to the people. Anyone who dares to do such a thing has already been beheaded for public display.

The duty of a soldier is to defend the country and expand the territory. The one who plunders the people is not called an army, it is a rogue.

"There's blood on it." Yuan Dian said softly.

Gao Yang's expression was cold, his eyes were half-squinted, and he stretched out his hand to caress the pile of silver that had formed like a hill in the cellar of Zuo Liangyu's luxurious mansion.

There were at least hundreds of thousands of taels of silver here, piled together to fill almost half of the cellar. There were fifty-one taels of large ingots, broken pieces of silver that had been cut into pieces by scissors, and many silver cakes. Occasionally, you may see some gold flashing in it. Needless to say, these are the harvests that Zuo Liangyu has looted over the years.

Much of the silver was stained with blood that had dried up and turned into black spots. Needless to say, I also know that it was left by the previous owner. This pile is not any silver, but countless souls who have died blindly!

"It's not a pity for someone like him to die." Gao Yang clapped his hands, turned around and walked out of the cellar, and said with a cold face.

"Damn it, indeed." The origin also echoed. has been by Gao Yang's side for so long, and the origin of the human being, who has long been humanized, also looks down on this kind of person very much.

Such a person is not worthy of living in the world at all. There is no way in other time and space, but since it was encountered by Gao Yang here. Zuo Liangyu's fate must be tragic. This is also the retribution of evil. (To be continued)
