Although it was decided to defend New Delhi to the death, William still had no bottom in his heart about how to carry out this life-and-death battle to defend New Delhi.

The Taiping army was menacing and unstoppable, as evidenced by their sweep of the fortifications around New Delhi.

Although New Delhi is heavily guarded, the outer defense line has been broken, and it is basically an empty city, even if it is a tiger, once it loses its sharp teeth, then what can it rely on.

However, at this point, William must defend, even if he knows that he cannot do it, but he must do it, at least, they must hold on until reinforcements arrive.

As a result, the Anglo-Indian coalition army prepared to break the cauldron and fight against the water.

At the same time that the Anglo-Indian coalition army was actively preparing, the Taiping army's encirclement of New Delhi had also been completed, and at the same time, they were ready to attack, as long as Huang Xu gave an order, the besieging Taiping army could launch a final attack on New Delhi like a tiger descending from the mountain.

As for New Delhi, the Taiping army is now in a three-sided encirclement situation, in addition to the east and west armies from two directions to encircle, for the sake of insurance, Huang Xu could not sit still, he personally led the army from the Assam Pass to meet the division, and his new army has also arrived at the front line, and the other two armies have completed the three-sided encirclement of New Delhi.

But why not on all sides.

It turns out that this has to do with the geographical location of New Delhi.

New Delhi is backed by the Indian Ocean, and the Indian Ocean is vast, if you want to block this route from the sea, with the strength of the Taiping Invincible Armada, I am afraid it will be difficult to blockade such a large area of the sea, so what the Taiping Army can do is to encircle New Delhi on three sides, and then let the Invincible Fleet wait for the opportunity to block the important shipping lanes as much as possible.

And Huang Xu after arriving at the front line. They immediately studied and deployed an offensive against New Delhi.

is the so-called soldier and fast, not to mention that the morale of the Taiping army is booming at this time, and the Anglo-Indian coalition army is completely at a disadvantage, they are under tremendous pressure psychologically and physically. Isn't that too much of a God-given opportunity?

Therefore, time is running out, there is no time to wait, and I vow to chase after the remnants of Yu Yong, and don't let the opportunity pass quietly.

Relying on this victory in the three-dimensional operation of the outer positions of New Delhi, the Taiping army can be regarded as having tasted the sweetness of this combat method, and in this siege, the generals still give priority to the use of firearms to launch an offensive and take advantage of the advantages of firearms. Be the first to knock down the New Delhi defenders' fortifications and kill as many defenders as possible, and then the Taiping army will swarm up again to completely crush the Anglo-Indian army and seize the last stronghold of the Anglo-Indian army.

Infinite expectations proved that the balance of victory would once again tip in favor of the Taipings.

And in the face of absolute strength, any opportunistic shortcuts will lose their meaning, and the rest can only be a death struggle. In order to prolong the process of defeat as much as possible, this may be the reality that the British and Indian forces need to face.

The reality is cruel though. But reality is reality, and it does not shift with the will of man.

The Taiping army launched an offensive faster than the Anglo-Indian forces had imagined, and just as the Anglo-Indian forces were trying to increase their defensive intensity, the Taiping offensive had already begun.

Once again, hail shells were dumped on the city of New Delhi.

The roar of cannons resounded through the sky, and the city of New Delhi was on fire. This heaven and earth shine as daylight.

Under the powerful artillery offensive, almost all the fortifications of New Delhi were buried in that sea of fire, and of course, the defenders suffered heavy casualties.

This qiē originated from the Taiping army's artillery fire, which was too fierce.

And just when the British and Indian troops were extremely panicked, the artillery fire suddenly stopped.

The first round of shelling by the Taiping Army came to an end.

The Anglo-Indian coalition finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Dead. It's useless to say anything, and those who are alive have a sense of the aftermath.

But on the whole, the situation of the Anglo-Indian coalition was very bad, very bad.

They are already on the verge of collapse.

However, there was still a trace of happiness in their hearts, glad that the shelling of the Taiping Army had stopped at this time.

However, this rejoicing only made a slight appearance, and was shattered by the more intense shelling that followed.

The second round of shelling by the Taiping army began again.

The Anglo-Indian forces are going crazy.

The artillery fire shook the sky, took away life, took away dust, and took away a trace of luck.

The little faith that remained in the hearts of the Anglo-Indian coalition was torn to powder in the face of the overwhelming artillery fire of the Taiping army.

After the second round of shelling, the Anglo-Indian forces were basically in a state of being crippled, and the shape was worrying.

Fortunately, after the second round of shelling by the Taipings, the artillery fire stopped.

And with the end of the second round of shelling, the artillery battle of the Taiping army seemed to be over.

And the Anglo-Indian troops, who were still in extreme panic, were also relieved, and they prayed silently in their hearts, thank God, this damn artillery fire finally stopped.

However, things were far from what they expected, and before the Anglo-Indian forces could catch their breath, the Taiping offensive began again.

This time it was the siege army of the Taiping army that began the offensive.

This is simply not letting the Anglo-Indian army live!

However, this is the truth, and it is true, the Taiping Army never wanted to keep the British and Indian troops alive.

The shouts of the sky once again made the hearts of the Anglo-Indian coalition army fall into the ice cellar, which was pulling out the cold, but the Taiping army's indomitable and desperate strength also forced the Anglo-Indian coalition army to a dead end.

The road of the British and Indian army seems to have been exhausted, resistance is death, not resistance is death, in the end, they can only put their hearts sideways, let it out, anyway, it is a dead end, that can only be a fight, that is, death, they also have to pull a few cushions, perhaps, it is possible to kill a way out of life.

As a result, the Anglo-Indian army also went crazy.

As a result, the Taiping army encountered even more fierce resistance than they imagined, and the survival of the ** made the British and Indian army violently unprecedentedly combat effectiveness, and temporarily delayed the momentum of the Taiping army's offensive.

The Taiping Army's expected destruction did not happen, but fell into entanglement with the Anglo-Indian coalition in an instant.

This was obviously something that the Taiping Army did not expect.

However, the war has advanced to this point, and the process and final result of the war can no longer be transferred by human will, and the process and final result of the war depend on the end of the selfless struggle between the two sides.

And while the armies of the two sides were desperately fighting, William received a piece of good news.

Reinforcements were about to arrive, and British reinforcements were coming.

At this critical time of survival, this is indeed a piece of good news for the British and Indian armies.

Of course, the good news has to be shared, it was quickly spread to all combat units of the British and Indian armies, like a strong shot to awaken the British and Indian armies to a more powerful survival**.

As soon as reinforcements arrived, they were saved.

And in such moments, faith is often more precious than gold.

The Anglo-Indian army had already gained this confidence by this time.

And the direct benefit of this increased confidence is that the British and Indian army's counterattack against the Taiping army is more fierce, and they fight more fiercely, because they can only survive by fighting.

The Taiping offensive stalled, and the two sides fell into a stalemate. (To be continued......)
