(Pro...... If you think it looks good...... Don't forget to bookmark it...... )

It was another day, and the army outside Hangzhou was still preparing to attack the city.

"Report ...... Your Highness, the Ninth Division of the Fifth Army has been prepared and is on standby! ”

"Report ...... Your Highness, the First Army is ready! ”

"Report ...... Your Highness, the musket team is already lined up, ready to shoot! ”

……

Zuo Zongtang calculated all kinds of preparations, and reminded in a low voice: "Your Highness, all the preparations have been made properly, and you can attack the city!" ”

Li Yunzhong looked at Hangzhou City standing in front of him, and said loudly: "Open the cannon!" ”

"Attack!"

……

Huang Bo took the lead and shouted: "Rush"

"Rush"

……

In an instant, more than 7,000 people of the Ninth Division, divided into four phalanxes, all charged towards the city wall, and from time to time someone was hit by an arrow or a bullet and fell to the ground, and the people behind continued to move forward without hesitation.

"Ladder! Fast...... Hurry up" Huang Bo arrived near the city wall, jumped off his horse, and commanded his soldiers to set up a ladder under the city wall and climb towards the wall.

Feng Zicai on the city wall was not to be outdone, and loudly commanded his subordinates to defend the city: "Prepare stones...... Shoot ......"

……

Li Yunzhong watched the Ninth Division fall into a bitter battle, and said coldly: "Pass the order, extend the artillery fire, if you can't attack the city wall, the artillery will not be allowed to stop!" ”

Huang Bo pulled down Zhou Xiuying, who was about to climb the ladder, and said angrily: "You are commanding below, and you are not allowed to run around!" ”

Zhou Xiuying shook off Huang Bo, climbed over Huang Bo's head in three or two clicks, turned around and wanted to say something, but couldn't say it, smiled, bit the big knife, and continued to go up.

Huang Bo seemed to have lost something, and Mu Ran was at a loss.

I said that I would protect her, Huang Bo comforted himself like this, and climbed up under Zhou Xiuying.

Zhou Xiuying silently calculated the height from the city wall, watching the soldiers who were knocked down one by one indifferent, until there was no one above her, and she could only passively dodge stones and bullets.

That is, now, Zhou Xiuying took the knife, let go of her hands, climbed on the ladder with her feet, walked like flying, jumped up without taking three breaths, landed on the city wall, hacked the dull-eyed Qing soldiers to death in three or two, and jumped into the city wall, Huang Bo also took the opportunity to speed up, followed and climbed up, the two looked at each other, and killed side by side.

"Good...... The First Army Immediately Prepares" Li Yunzhong saw the two of them applauding loudly, and immediately ordered the First Army to prepare for the siege, and only wait for the Ninth Division to gain a firm foothold on the wall, and then attack the city in an all-round way and break through in one fell swoop.

"My lord, it's not good, there are two anti-thieves from the west......" a guerrilla said to Feng Zicai in a panic.

"You command here, I'll go!" Feng Zicai didn't dare to slack off, and personally brought his own soldiers to rush over.

Huang Bo looked at the six Han soldiers who broke through again, and shouted while killing the enemy: "Everyone back to back, don't scatter, gather together, don't scatter......"

After Feng Zicai arrived, he directly held a big knife and slashed Huang Bo, Huang Bo was caught off guard and was shocked back a few steps, Zhou Xiuying hurriedly supported him to retreat, several Han soldiers blocked Feng Zicai in front of them, and after a while, they were all killed by the Qing army.

Huang Bo and Zhou Xiuying were in a stalemate with the Qing army back to back.

Looking at the two people who were surrounded, Feng Zicai breathed a sigh of relief, and ordered the superfluous people to continue to defend the city and kill the enemy, and he led his own soldiers to surround these two bold thieves.

"Won't you two surrender when you're dying?" Feng Zicai took pity on the two of them for their bravery, and even persuaded them to surrender.

Zhou Xiuying snorted and scolded: "Grandma will not drop you, you still have to die of this heart!" ”

Huang Bo laughed loudly: "Well said! Xiuying, you really didn't disappoint me, even if we die here today, it won't be in vain...... Let's get acquainted! ”

Seeing that they were dying, they didn't forget to flirt and scold, and said angrily: "Go! Kill them! ”

Under the city

Li Yunzhong saw that Huang Bo and the two were submerged by the Qing army, and he was nervous, and tried to let the first army attack the city several times, but it was not the best time, and the strong attack could only increase casualties.

"The cannons are all fired, no need to cool down!"

Li Yunzhong could only hope that Huang Bo would hold on for a while.

Since listening to the special forces mentioned by King Han last night, Tang Liang has never forgotten it, and he also sent someone to build a flying claw overnight, seeing that King Han was so anxious about the two people on the city wall.

Tang Liang had the intention to show himself in front of the King of Han, and suddenly rushed to the city wall on his mount, and after a while, he reached the vicinity of the cloud ladder, flew up the cloud ladder, and flew flat on the cloud ladder without using his hands, and climbed to half of the city in one breath. 、

The Qing army was not ambiguous when he looked at such an obvious target, and arrows, stones, and muskets all greeted him like him.

Pulling out the flying claw, Tang Liang threw it up the city wall with all his might, and with his right hand, he flew away from the cloud ladder and attached to the wall like a gecko, swimming towards the wall.

"I'll do it too!" Tang Liang shouted, fell three feet behind Huang Bo like a divine soldier descending from the sky, snatched a blade with his hand, or picked or stabbed, and even let him kill in front of Huang Bo.

"Brother, you're fine!" Tang Liang helped Huang Bo, who almost fell to the ground, and asked with concern.

Huang Bo endured the pain and said loudly: "Save Xiuying!" Leave me alone. ”

Tang Liang held Huang Bo with one hand, split Feng Zicai with one knife, and killed Zhou Xiuying in three or two steps along the wall, seeing that the two of them were just out of strength, he said, "You guys rest here for a while, I'll come when I go!" ”

Tang Liang had no worries, holding double knives, and killed the Qing soldiers along the battlements, and when he saw the ladder, he covered the Han soldiers to climb the city wall, and it only took a quarter of an hour for more than 50 Han soldiers to follow him.

Zhang Guoliang shouted loudly: "Foreign gun team! Call the Guns......"

Li Yunzhong looked at Tang Liang's performance and was dumbfounded, he never thought that a person could be so elegant and fierce, and the city wall of more than ten meters could be climbed so easily.

"Pass the order, the army will attack the city with all its might, and if there is no retreat, there will be no forgiveness!" Li Yunzhong drew his sword and pointed it in the direction of the city wall.

"Kill"

"Rush"

……

Tens of thousands of troops, carrying ladders and other weapons, rushed to the city wall.

Zhang Guoliang looked at the Han army gathering more and more on the city wall and the dense figures under the city, and closed his eyes in pain, he overestimated himself and underestimated the Han army, but he didn't expect the Han army to have so many firearms in just one year.

"Withdraw...... The army withdrew from the city wall...... Zhang Guoliang pulled Feng Zicai and led the troops to slowly withdraw from the city wall, the Han army was small, and they did not pursue, but slowly followed behind.

The Qing army retreated to the bottom of the urn city, and Feng Zicai immediately asked, "Junmen, what should I do now?" ”

"According to the plan, fight in the streets! Even if you lose a street, you have to pay the price of blood for shorthair! There are those who dare to retreat and abscond without permission, and correct the law on the spot! Zhang Guoliang led everyone to retreat to the government in the city and arrange defenses.

Li Yunzhong did not enter the city, but was still in the camp outside the city, dressed in military uniform, and was interviewed by Jenny and other reporters.

Jenny asked excitedly, "Your Excellency King Han, how do you feel about the capture of Hangzhou City this time!" ”

Li Yunzhong smiled, took a photo with Wei Liali, and replied: "Since the uprising of our army, it has been like a bamboo, and the Qing army has been defeated, so I am not surprised that Hangzhou was captured so easily. ”

Joseph said: "But I heard that you have been preparing for this war for 3 months, does this mean that you attach more importance to the Qing army and do not dare to take risks easily. ”

Li Yunzhong solemnly replied: "I am preparing for three months, not just for a Hangzhou city, but for half of the south of the Yangtze River: Zhejiang Province, Fujian Province, and Guangdong Province!" ”

Jenny kept recording and asked, "Your Excellency, how many soldiers have you died in this war?" ”

"Three thousand! These lads are good! Rather die on the charge than take a step back, I intend to erect a monument to them so that future generations will remember them forever. Li Yunzhong wiped his tears at the right time.

Wei Liali put away his camera and asked, "May I ask Your Excellency, when will you send troops to the Northern Expedition to overthrow the ignorant Qing State?" ”

"Now my Dahan is mainly to recuperate and resume production, and when our Dahan foundation is stable, we will naturally send troops to the Northern Expedition, and it is too early to talk about this." Li Yunzhong saw many people standing outside the tent waiting for the summons, and said to Jenny: "That's all for today's interview, you should go back to Shanghai, and I will arrange for someone to send you back tomorrow!" ”
