After the three-way drum, the cannon with a bloody mouth was pushed out by the Taiping army, followed by a few fixed actions, reloading, ordering the soldiers to issue shooting orders, etc., and then, the powerful cannonball passed through the sky like a meteor, and smashed mercilessly towards the palace gate where Xianfeng was located.

"The army obeys the order and goes into the bunker." Looking at the whistling shells, Xianfeng calmly said.

It turned out that Xianfeng had already prepared, he asked people to build a large number of bunkers on the palace gate, the purpose was to prevent the shelling of the Taiping army, with the protection of this bunker, plus the most elite forbidden army guarding the palace, so the effect of this round of artillery attacks by the Taiping army was not as good as expected, and the Qing army did not hurt the muscles and bones, at most it only blew up some of the city walls.

Huang Xu, who was holding a telescopic mirror and watching the battle situation from behind, was also a little surprised to see this scene.

"Mr. Zhao, Xianfeng still has such knowledge, and he actually knows how to build bunkers, it's really not simple!" Huang Xu couldn't help but admire.

"Bunker?" Zhao Xiaofeng was a little stunned, he obviously didn't understand what the new term Huang Xu used meant.

"Bunkers are places to hide from shells." Huang Xu explained.

Only then did he realize that people in this era should not have a thorough understanding of the concept of bunkers, and it is no wonder that Zhao Xiaofeng is a little at a loss.

Zhao Xiaofeng first frowned, then shook his head, and then said in a more skeptical tone: "As far as his subordinates know, although Xianfeng is not mediocre, he is not a shrewd and capable master, at best, he is ordinary, so this kind of countermeasure is definitely impossible for Xianfeng to come up with."

"It's not Xianfeng, then who is it? Monk Greenqin shouldn't be good at using firearms to attack, so he can't think of a defensive strategy, which makes people a little headache, are there other capable people in the Qing army?" Huang Xu was also quite surprised.

Huang Xu and the others didn't know that Xianfeng had imprisoned both Seng Lingqin and Prince Gong.

"My subordinates can't think of it." Zhao Xiaofeng said in a low voice.

"Since we can't figure it out, we don't need to worry about this matter anymore, just take the palace of the Qing court, and reveal the truth to ourselves, and even if we don't use artillery, we can capture the palace." Huang Xu said confidently.

Huang Xu really doesn't believe it, without artillery, they don't have to attack the city, when there were no cannons before, they didn't still conquer the city, conquer everything, invincible, it's good to have artillery, no artillery, and elite Taiping soldiers, this is really the foundation of the Taiping Army.

"That's all it can be." Zhao Xiaofeng also nodded.

Without artillery, it can only be said that there is one less weapon to attack the city, not that it cannot be attacked, as Huang Xu said, the siege is not only relying on the power of artillery, the final decisive force is the heroic soldiers of the Taiping Army.

Moreover. Although the artillery could not kill or injure the enemy, it could still cover the attack of the Taiping army, and it was not useless.

"Mr. Zhao, order to keep safe, go all out to attack the city, and when necessary, use all the thunderstorms, I don't believe that this palace will not be breached." A hint of determination flashed in Huang Xu's eyes, and he resolutely ordered.

"Yes." Zhao Xiaofeng said respectfully.

Soon, the order was sent to Bao Ping'an.

After receiving the order, he immediately reorganized his army and prepared to attack the palace again.

"Strategist, the marshal's order has been given, now it's up to our brothers." Bao Ping'an said excitedly.

Huang Xu let him take the main attack, which shows that he attaches great importance to him, so he must try his best to take down this palace.

"Without the benefit of artillery, it will not be so easy for us to attack the city." Li Hongzhang said a little worriedly.

Without artillery fire to take the lead, the Taiping army would have lost a lot of people, which no one wants to see.

"Strategist, don't think about artillery anymore, we are now attacking the city." Security Flat Road.

To achieve the general's career, the dead are inevitable, besides, he has seen fewer dead people, so he has already practiced a hard-hearted heart, he is not afraid of many dead people, but he is afraid that he will delay the business and not complete the task given to him by Huang Xu, he is not like Li Hongzhang, these literati, looking forward and backward, indecisive, mother-in-law and mother-in-law.

"Alas, the thought of having to sacrifice the lives of so many brothers always makes me feel uneasy." Li Hongzhang sighed and said.

The literati are compassionate in life, which is why it is said that Xiucai rebelled, and it could not be achieved in three years, because Xiucai was scheming and could not be broken, how could it be a big thing.

"I also cherish the lives of these soldiers under my command, but it is inevitable that people will die in battle, so let's look away." Keep safe and say goodbye.

"I understand, but there's always something uncomfortable in my heart." Li Hongzhang still seems to have infinite emotion.

Bao Ping'an shook his head, and couldn't help but think that Li Hongzhang was a scholar.

"Cui Min, attack!" After a brief discussion with Li Hongzhang, Bao Ping'an no longer paid attention to Li Hongzhang and directly gave Cui Min the order to attack.

Cui Min received the order and immediately organized people to rush towards the Qing army palace tower.

The previous time, due to insufficient preparation and a small number of people, Cui Min suffered a small loss at the hands of the Qing army, this time, he was well prepared, strong soldiers, well-armed, and high morale, and he vowed to get the field back.

The Taiping army first shelled it. Then, under the cover of the archers, the Taiping infantry carried the ladder to attack the palace tower guarded by the Qing army.

The Qing army on the palace floor saw that the Taiping army was menacing and numerous, and many people showed a trace of timidity on their faces.

"Brothers, we have no way out, behind us is our home, there are our parents, wives and children in the family, do you want to see the family ruined and the wives separated?" At this time, Xianfeng's voice sounded in everyone's ears.

Seeing the timidity on the faces of the Qing army defending the city, Xianfeng knew in his heart that if he continued to take measures, the Qing army would probably be defeated before fighting, so he had to do something. Dispel the cowardice in everyone's hearts, and this is why there is the above paragraph.

"No, no, we don't!" A huge roar shook the earth.

"Okay, then you will fight with me to kill the enemy, save our home, and keep our parents, wives and children." Xianfeng hits the railway while it's hot.

The momentum of the Qing army was completely provoked.

"Good, good, kill, kill!" The roar of the Qing army rang out one after another.

After this agitation, the fear on the face of the Qing army has disappeared, and the resolute color in his eyes has gradually condensed. They are no longer afraid, and their hearts are even more enthusiastic, and they only feel that there is endless energy in their bodies.

Xianfeng nodded with satisfaction, he was not only satisfied with what he said, but also even more satisfied with the spirit of the Qing army, he could feel that the momentum on these soldiers had climbed a lot.

These forbidden troops defending the city are the elite of the Qing army, and their combat effectiveness and morale are not comparable to the ordinary Qing army, which has been well proven in the battle with the Taiping army some time ago, and the reason why they were timid just now was completely due to their worries, but Xianfeng's words shattered their mess, so that they had to face reality.

So, the elite division of the Qing army is back.

The besieging Taiping army arrived in the blink of an eye, and they set up the ladder on the wall at super-fast speed, shouting and charging upward.

The Qing Forbidden Army defending the city used many methods to constantly fight back.

Under the strict defense of the Qing army, the casualties of the Taiping army gradually increased, but the strength of the Taiping army was indeed not comparable to the Qing army.

The further back. The situation was more unfavorable to the Qing army.

Xianfeng saw these in his eyes, but he didn't panic, he just let the Qing army defending the city try to resist it.

As the Taiping army continued to expand its gains and further consolidate the captured position at the head of the city, it seemed that the Qing army could no longer recover the final defeat.

But. Until this moment, Xianfeng was still unhurried.

Xianfeng's lack of busyness hurt the guards and eunuchs who were with him, these people were more anxious than him, but they were not as busy as Prince Gong and the Iron Hat King, none of them dared to stand up and persuade Xianfeng to leave, so they could only be anxious.

"Playing the emperor, the palace gate is almost unguardable, please ask the emperor to avoid it quickly." Even more terrible news came out of the mouths of the goalkeeper who hurriedly came to report the battle.

The palace tower has not been lost, but the palace gate is about to be lost, Xianfeng didn't expect it, but he still didn't panic.

"Please recuse yourself from the emperor." The guards, the eunuchs couldn't hold back any longer, and they all knelt on the ground after a shot.

"What are you panicking, what are you panicking about, I haven't done it yet, what are you panicking about." Looking at the guards kneeling on the ground, the eunuch, Xianfeng shouted.

The Son of Heaven is angry, and his voice is shocking, who dares to speak out.

Xianfeng was furious, and no one dared to speak out.

"Alright, get up, I have my own measure, you just have to do your part." Xianfeng looked at the people on the ground again, waved his hand, and said.

Everyone is also loyal, Xianfeng can't be too kind.

Everyone was happy when they saw that Xianfeng did not condemn their crimes, but when they thought of the Taiping Army in front of them, they were not happy.

"If you're afraid, you can retreat." Xianfeng said again.

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other, but they did not dare to move.

"Well, since you're all willing to stay, don't say anything, just wait." Xianfeng Road.

"Yes." The people were commanded.

The fighting continues.

As Cui Min led people to jump to the top of the city, Xianfeng understood that the palace tower here had been lost, and there was no point in staying, until this time. He gave the order to retreat.

Cui Min watched from afar that Xianfeng was leading people to retreat to the inner palace, so he led people to chase after him.

At this time, the Taiping army brigade also entered the city and was cooperating with each other to pursue the remnants of the Qing army.

Xianfeng led people to retreat to the gate of the inner palace, and stopped, everyone didn't understand what he meant, it stands to reason that Xianfeng should retreat into the inner palace and close the palace gate of the inner palace before he could refuse to defend it, but he stopped outside the palace gate, what does it mean.

Xianfeng's delay, Cui Min, who was following him, had already been killed.

"Xianfeng dog head, where to go." Cui Min saw Xianfeng waiting for him outside the palace gate, and couldn't help but shout.

"Chaos, you're looking for death." Xianfeng said angrily.

"It's you who is looking for death, when is it, put away your emperor's majesty." Cui Min didn't take him, the emperor, in his eyes.

"Don't be so arrogant, there are times when you cry." Xianfeng's words seem to imply something.

"Fart, I see that you don't cry when you don't see the coffin, for the sake of you being the emperor, I will leave you a whole corpse." Cui Min scolded.

"I don't know how thick the sky is, for the sake of us who have had a two-sided relationship, now I warn you, if you leave immediately, you may be able to save your life, if you don't leave, you won't be able to leave when you want to." Xianfeng sneered.

"When death is on the verge of death, and you are still so hard-mouthed, then don't blame me for being unkind, brothers, give this emperor to Ben General, Ben will ask you for credit in front of the marshal." Cui Min ordered.

The Taiping army under Cui Min received the order in a hurry, and then each raised their weapons to kill Xianfeng and others.

Xianfeng smiled slightly, I don't know when, he already held a musket in his hand, I saw him put the muzzle of the gun up, and fired a shot suddenly, only to hear a bang, sparks were everywhere, bullets sprayed out, and flew into the air.

The Taiping army that killed Xianfeng was slightly stunned by this bang, paused slightly, and when they figured out what was going on, they still rushed towards Xianfeng as always.

Isn't it just a small shotgun, who scares it?

Looking at the Taiping army rushing towards him, Xianfeng smiled, and he was extremely happy to smile.

Just when the Taiping Army was still about three feet away from Xianfeng, only a series of thuds were heard, just like firecrackers set off in the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and the surroundings rang out.

Then, what Xianfeng saw was that the Taiping army fell in front of him.

In the rear supervision array, Cui Min, who had been laughing and laughing, immediately froze, and before he could react, another bang sounded, and the Taiping army fell again.

"Enemy attack, retreat, retreat!" Cui Min screamed in full hesitation.

He finally understood why Xianfeng was waiting for him here, it turned out. This Xianfeng dug a pit. (To be continued.)
