The people stayed in the Haiguang Temple, and Duolong'a heard the cannon fire as soon as possible.

And in Duolong Axingyuan, who was stationed in Haiguang Temple, all the officers and guards looked at the red sky in the east stupidly. The artillery fire burned the sky red, is there really such a fierce artillery fire?!!

Dorona's heart was clenching violently. The Qin army launched an attack at night, and he was not worried. All the officers here are not worried. Isn't it just a position and a trench, and no one is so confident that their carefully arranged front can't support it even overnight. More people firmly believe that the Qin army will hit its head and bleed in front of the strong defense line of the Qing army!

The mighty Russians shed their blood and suffered heavy losses in the face of the weak Turks' trench defenses. In the past, the Qing army attacked the Qin army again and again, and countless deaths were also lost. Now it's just that the Qing army is on the defensive, and the Qin army is on the offensive. Even if the latter can finally break through this line of defense, it will definitely have to pay the price of blood!

But such a dense and fierce artillery fire is unimaginable and unpredictable for everyone in Haiguang Temple. At the same time, the seven thousand Qing army horses that stayed outside the Haiguang Temple did not know how many war horses were neighing in fright at this moment. Even a well-trained horse could not withstand such a fierce artillery bombardment.

Liu Xian, Zhou Jun and others were on the front line at this time, arriving close to observe this unprecedented artillery preparation. The huge scene made everyone's blood boil. What an unforgettable scene!

The cheers of the Qin officers and soldiers had been muffled by the huge roar of the cannonballs. The ground was shaking violently, and the thick smell of gunpowder smoke wafted straight over, so smoke that people couldn't open their eyes. Zhou Jun, Jiao Wenbin and other heavy generals each had a telescope in their hands, and they looked at the qi in front of them as if they were enchanted. The collar of Huo Guangcheng's military uniform was torn open. Shouting and shouting, "Well played, well played!" ”

Roy looked calmer though. But the muscles on the white skin are also constantly shaking, this is a powerful artillery brought out by one hand! Since joining the Qin army. As a foreigner who can't speak Chinese clearly, as a former Russian artillery officer who is only a grassroots level, he has grown step by step to the current level, overcoming difficulties such as language and military standards, and the hardships inside are unimaginable to outsiders.

Some of the Polish and Russian soldiers who surrendered at the same time as Roy worked as hard as Roy, studying Chinese and Chinese characters hard, and striving to improve their military level. There are also those who are now the commanders of the artillery battalions. But I can't endure hardship, I can't stand the tiredness, I only rely on eating my old book, and now there are more people who are already out of the crowd. It all depends on the individual's efforts!

Roy is excited now, precisely because the Qin army's artillery has grown up to the present, and there is his sweat and dedication in this difficult journey. This is the excitement of the harvest, the joy of the harvest!

Liu Xian, who looked the calmest among the people, was also much more relaxed at this moment, and he didn't care too much about the momentum of the shelling, the effect was the first thing.

It is only observed with the naked eye of a person, but of course it is not clear now. But what about virtual maps? What is the position of the Qing army in Balitai now? Glance. The shelling effect is excellent!

If nothing else, a total of two hours of artillery preparation can completely tear apart the Qing army's defensive line!

A full two hours of rapid fire seemed to pass quickly. The artillery positions of the Qin army were already full of piles of copper shells of artillery shells. The artillerymen were already sweating profusely, and almost everyone's ears and noses were blown blood. A large number of wagons are still replenishing ammunition to the various artillery groups, waiting for a second round of shelling that may follow.

If the first round of shelling did not help the Qin assault forces achieve a breakthrough.

As the artillery of the Qin army suddenly fell silent. The Qing army, which had been dizzy by the shells, seemed to catch their breath. The officers commanded the soldiers to desperately repair the dilapidated fortifications and replenish the front-line positions with maximum energy.

At the forefront of the Balitai position, there were not many front-line infantry of the Qing army who could survive this two-hour round of shelling. The trenches were littered with shards of corpses that smelled of burning. The anti-artillery hole collapsed, burying groups of Qing soldiers. The few who remained were also deranged. Seeing that the shelling stopped. It was excited and excited, and there was a squeaky and screaming sound. There are even some people in the trenches, on the surface, scurrying around like headless flies.

And before this qiē stopped, the Qin army's assault force had already killed them.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

The pure infantry charge expected by the Qing army was impossible, and the mortar shells fell into the trench like raindrops again, and in a flash of artillery fire, the Qin assault troops instantly flooded Balitai with the flood of the breach.

The mortar shells stretched towards the position, and without accident they ran into the reinforcements of the Qing army to the front line, and the scene was really a bloody one! The shrapnel scattered in all directions harvested the lives of a large number of Qing soldiers, and the fate of the Qing army seemed to be doomed in this battle.

This round of mortar bombardment did not cause too many casualties among the Qing troops, because the Qing army simply did not have the ability to quickly return from the chaos to the formation and organize a large number of troops to go to the front line. So this result is not at all comparable to the previous two full hours of shelling. But this mortar bombardment absolutely gave the Qing army a head-on blow!

So when the soldiers of the Qin army roared and rushed towards the position, the Qing army could no longer resist.

The Qing soldiers, who had just survived the rain of bullets in a sea of fire, were horrified to find that there were patches of Qin soldiers in front of them. They stepped on the smoke and flames, like a group of unstoppable torrents, mighty and rushed over!

"Report, the infantry of the Qin army has launched a surprise attack! Our position was greatly damaged by Qin artillery fire. Lord Guo urgently needs reinforcements! Reinforcements are urgently needed! -- Alternate Admiral of Zhili, Guo Baochang, Chief Soldier of Tianjin Town.

"The infantry of the Qin army has broken through the front line of our army, and the officers and men of our army are desperately resisting, and our army is in urgent need of reinforcements!" -- Tolumbu, the deputy capital of the third town of the Eighth Banner New Army.

"The Qin army's offensive is fierce, and it is difficult for our troops to resist. Urgent need for support, desperate need for support! -- Urtu, the commander-in-chief of Zhengding Town.

Urgent war reports poured into Haiguang Temple. Dorona trembled inwardly, knowing that his estimate was wrong. The defense line that he had worked so hard to build would really collapse overnight under the blows of the Qin army.

Cavalry!

Now only cavalry has to be relied upon, and only cavalry can be relied on to turn the tide.

"Let the reserve army retreat to Haiguang Temple and organize a defensive line on the spot. The cavalry will follow me—"

I haven't been on the battlefield in person for more than a decade. But Doron is still sharp, the situation has come to the current point, and he still has the courage and courage to break the boat.

Although the reserve force that Xingyuan can now take charge of is not even 3,000 people. The main force of the Qing army was already completely confused in the extended fire of the artillery group. In the darkness of the night, not to mention the Su zhì of the Qing army, even the Qin army could not gather in a short period of time and form a new formation.

From Liulitai to Haiguang Temple, there are countless scattered groups of large and small Qing soldiers.

The team of seven thousand horses moved slowly over the flat field.

Duolong'a, who personally went out on horseback, took them to the bank of the Jin River, which was four or five miles away from Liulitai, sharpened his knife immediately, and waited for the Qin army soldiers to chase and kill the defeated Qing army in the direction of Haiguang Temple.

At the front of the Qin army's position, Liu Xian's brows furrowed inadvertently. Duolong Ah is really a veteran, and it is a good time to win in defeat. Although he did this, even if he won the Qin army, he would not be able to save the fate of the Qing army's crushing defeat.

Don't be afraid, though. He had been prepared for a long time.

Liu Xian waited for more than ten minutes, and when he got that the Qin army's assault force was about to break through the Liulitai position, he ordered someone to give an order to the front-line assault troops, pay attention to the rhythm, slow down some of the assault speed, wait for the mortar troops, and pay attention to the Qing cavalry troops that might appear in the left direction after breaking through Liulitai.

As for why it is not mentioned on the right side and said on the left side, it is because on the right side of the battlefield is the Haihe River, and there are gunboats and gunboats of the Qin army floating on the river. There is simply no possibility of an ambush on the right flank!

The Jin River on the left, that is, the Wall River, is the first month of the tenth year of Xianfeng in the Qing Dynasty, in order to enhance the defense capability of Tianjin, the Qing government's military minister Seng Greenqin dug trenches and built walls in the west and south of the old city of Tianjin, built a moat wall 36 miles long, and built 11 camp gates to communicate with the outside world. At that time, the city wall was called "wall", and the moat was called "wall river".

This river is also called the Jin River, the Tianjin of Tianjin! Eight meters wide and less than four feet deep, Dorona led the cavalry there, and could even ride his horse across the river when things were bad.

It's a nice place!

The front line erupted in a burst of high-pitched cheers. Zhou Jun and the others' expressions moved, as if they had thought of something, and their faces all showed heartfelt laughter at this moment.

Liu Xian also nodded slightly. The soldiers completely broke through the Qing army's defense line in Liulitai, and they completely penetrated the 'copper wall and iron wall' that Duolonga had painstakingly attained within an hour, like a sharp sword, invincible!

So they have reason to cheer.

On the virtual map, Liu Xian could see that the Qing army's infantry was really completely defeated. Without the 7,000-strong cavalry, the battle would have been settled.

Liu Xian focused on the virtual map, and he wanted to watch the cavalry fly into ashes and annihilate.

He believed that with the soldiers of the Qin army who he had ordered in advance, he would not let him down.

Seven thousand cavalry, in the dark night, there is only one way to die.

Twenty minutes later, red emergency flares rose into the sky. The cavalry of the Qing army was dispatched. Warning flares from assault troops.

"Soldiers, warriors of the Eight Banners,...... Kill! Dorona took the lead, brandishing his sword and leading the cavalry forward, his black and red face carrying indomitable determination and determination. At this time, it is necessary for the generals to take the lead in the charge to inspire. He had to rush to the front. (To be continued......)
