While the Japanese army was busy unifying their thinking and deciding who would go and who would stay, the Taiping army was not idle, and its three main armies had already entered the city of Kaesong, and they were bows and swords unsheathed, putting on a posture of being ready to attack the city at any time.

In this siege, Marshal Tian Xiaoer personally served as the commander-in-chief of the siege, and at the same time appointed Deputy Marshal Dongfang Bufu as the commander-in-chief of the former enemy.

The specific offensive arrangement was that the 7th Army Corps under the command of Dongfang Bufu was the main attack, the secondary attack was the 8th Army Corps, and the 6th Army Corps was used as a reserve corps.

The reason why such an arrangement was made was also a comprehensive consideration of various factors, because, in the previous battle, the Seventh Army Corps and the Eighth Army Corps did not get any battles, so the losses were not large, and the Sixth Army Corps, as the battle star of the previous stage, suffered very large losses, so it was reasonable for the coalition command to make such an arrangement.

And among these major legions, especially the Seventh Legion, since the march to the periphery of Kaesong, in addition to sending some reinforcements to help the Sixth Legion, the main force of the army has been recuperating, and there is no special big move, so this time it is well deserved to play the leading role in the siege, of course, the Seventh Legion is also holding back enough energy to fight this battle, after all, the credit cannot be all taken by other legions, so much faceless.

Originally, the three major legions of the Taiping Army's aid to Korea are all cavalry, it stands to reason that the function of cavalry is mainly to charge in the field, and does not focus on siege, but in order to meet the needs of the actual battlefield, these three legions are not limited to what form of battle, they tend to adjust their functions according to actual needs, that is, when they should be cavalry, then they are cavalry, but if they need to perform infantry functions, they are infantry.

For example, in the ambush outside Pyongyang, the 6th and 7th Army Corps were used as infantry to set up ambushes, and today's siege, the 7th Regiment of the 1st Army is also to be used as infantry, because, if it is cavalry, how to attack the city.

In fact, this flexible and mobile strain mechanism was formed in the last Taiping Army reorganization process, according to Huang Xu, each branch of the Taiping Army should be multi-functional, and every soldier should become an all-round soldier proficient in a variety of combat methods, which is also deeply rooted in the hearts of every Taiping Army soldier as a guideline for the construction of the Taiping Army, which is also why the Taiping Army only dispatched cavalry troops and did not dispatch infantry when it went out to resist Japan and aid Korea.

First use cavalry to save time, and then when needed, ride instead, be flexible and adaptable.

Speaking of the immediate siege operation, the Taiping army set the target of the attack at the east gate of Kaesong.

After being ready, the former enemy's commander-in-chief, Dongfang Bufu, waved his hand, and the Seventh Army Corps, which was responsible for the main attack, carried the siege equipment, shouted, and rushed to the bottom of the castle tower of Kaesong like a tide, and then set up a cloud ladder and began to climb towards the city in the rain of arrows.

After the Japanese army on the city tower launched a charge, they began to use various city defense equipment to fight back, and for a while, arrows flew like rain, and stone sleepers were constantly dropped from the city tower by the Japanese army. Then it smashed into the climbing Taiping army, and the sound of firearms rang out in the air, and the barrel of the gun that was emitting green smoke told people that the power of firearms was terrible.

Under such intensive counterattacks by the Japanese army, the Taiping army kept people falling to the ground, and people kept falling down the ladder, shouting and shouting.

And those Taiping soldiers who were attacked by all kinds of utensils and injured, died to a hundred, but the most afraid is those who were injured but did not die, to be honest, they are really not as good as dead, they are injured together, huddled into a pile, howling miserably under the city tower, some people don't even have time to move the place, they are stoned to death to the soldiers who continue to fall, crushed to death, the scene is extremely shocking, it is miserable.

Under the stubborn resistance of the Japanese army, the Taiping army's wave of charges killed and wounded many people at once, and in the case of paying considerable casualties, they did not rush to the city tower as expected, and a tug-of-war between them and the Japanese army gradually formed

Dongfang, who served as the commander-in-chief of the former enemy, was not confused to see the frustration of the siege, in addition to being angry, he was anxious, and in the end, he was ruthless, regardless of the dissuasion of his guards, personally put on the battle, and led the people to attack the city.

When the soldiers of the Seventh Legion saw that the commander of the Legion personally attacked the city, their morale was immediately boosted, and their feelings that were still slightly sluggish just now were instantly pulled to the top, and they shouted louder slogans than before, no longer caring about life and death, and desperately rushed up to kill.

Dongfang Bufu also shouted and rushed in his mouth, while blocking the heavy objects smashed from the castle tower with his shield, and on the other hand, he kept pushing away the sharp arrows shot at his head and rushed upwards with all his might.

With Dongfang Bufu as an example, the Sixth Army under his command was like a chicken blood, rushing up desperately, the Taiping Army in front fell one, and another one was immediately added in the back, which can really be described as going forward and succeeding, without hesitation.

Such an offensive and defensive battle lasted for about an hour, as the Taiping army opened the first breakthrough on the tower of Kaesong, more and more Taiping soldiers poured onto the tower of Kaesong, and then, in less than a quarter of an hour, the Taiping army completely annihilated the Japanese army defending the city.

In the end, the Taiping army captured the East City Tower and became the final victor.

The soldiers of the Taiping Army cheered because of the victory, but Dongfang was not confused but not happy, and even a little depressed, on the one hand, because he found that the Japanese army they annihilated was less than 10,000 people, and the Taiping army was killed and wounded more than 20,000 people, on the other hand, in addition to the 10,000 people killed in the battle, the main force of the Japanese army was gone, where did the rest of the Japanese army go? This is also a problem.

All of this qiē makes Dongfang not confused a headache.

And just as Dongfang was not confused and had a headache and bowed his head and pondered, the Sixth and Eighth Army Corps, as well as the headquarters of the coalition army led by Tian Xiaoer, arrived at the gate of Kaesong.

Dongfang was not confused and got revenge, so he immediately ordered someone to open the city gate and enlarge the army into the city.

The gates of the city opened, and the army marched into the city.

Dongfang Bufu met with Tian Xiaoer and others, reported the relevant situation, and said that he had already sent a reconnaissance detachment to the city, and he must know the movements of the Japanese army in the near future.

Tian Xiaoer expressed his appreciation for Dongfang Bufu's actions, and at the same time expressed concern about the movements of the Japanese army, he couldn't guess what the Japanese army was doing, so he could only wait for the return of the reconnaissance detachment.

And before the time for a cup of tea arrived, the reconnaissance detachment sent by Dongfang Bufu returned, but. To their surprise, only one person from the entire reconnaissance detachment returned, and one man was seriously wounded and dying.

Dongfang Bufu and the others were shocked when they saw this, and hurriedly stepped forward to check the situation, but unfortunately, the person from the detective detachment who was lucky enough to escape only intermittently spit out the word "ambush" before he lost his breath.

Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but gasp.

In such a short period of time, an elite reconnaissance detachment was completely annihilated, which is not something that a small Japanese army can do.

Dongfang Bufu hid the anger in his heart, and threw his doubtful gaze at Tian Xiaoer and Wang Xiaoyong, who were looking at him.

"Dongfang, what do you think about this?" Wang Xiaoyong's face was also very ugly, and his tone of voice was extremely low.

Yes, who would feel good about such a thing.

"Order the army to move forward, and if you encounter a Japanese army, you can kill it directly." Dongfang didn't think about it, so he said.

Dongfang is not confused, but he is angry, an elite reconnaissance detachment is gone, and it is still completely annihilated by the Japanese army, as long as you think about it, Dongfang is not confused and wants to scold her mother.

"Judging from the experience of the reconnaissance detachment, the Japanese army must have set up an ambush in front, and if we rush forward, I am afraid it will not be too appropriate." Wang Xiaoyong shook his head and said.

The reconnaissance detachment is a lesson from the past, and one carelessness may bring huge losses to the Taiping army, and in the face of this huge risk, Wang Xiaoyong has to be cautious.

"What are you afraid of, even if the hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops are in the city, we are not afraid of it, besides, aren't we thinking about a decisive battle with it, just take advantage of this momentum to destroy it, so, I don't think there is any need to wait, just kill it." Dongfang Bufu said so much patiently, it was the limit of his patience, if he had been placed before, he would have led the army to the front.

"Dongfang is very reasonable, Xiao Yong, what do you think?" Tian Xiaoer thought about it and felt that although Dongfang was not confused, it was not completely unreasonable, so he put the problem to Wang Xiaoyong again, wanting to see how Wang Xiaoyong dismantled.

"Well, I don't object to the East, but I'm just worried that if there is really a Japanese ambush in this city, and we kill it so recklessly, then if we are ambushed, the consequences will be unimaginable, so my opinion is still that it is better to be cautious before finding out the real situation." Wang Xiaoyong thinks that it is better to be cautious, once there is a case, the loss will be great.

Listening to Wang Xiaoyong's words, Tian Xiaoer frowned, he felt that the two of them made sense, but what should be done, he couldn't make up his mind for a while.

"Marshal, I have another idea, I don't know if it's feasible?" Dongfang Bufu looked at Tian Xiaoer, who was solemn and silent, and then said hesitantly.

Don't you have an idea? This relationship is good, this is a good thing, this is Tian Xiaoer's first reaction after hearing Dongfang Bufu's words.

"Oh, tell me about it, Orient." Tian Xiaoer's eyes lit up, and he said a little excitedly.

The East has an idea, and that must be heard.

"That's right, marshal, let's first send a large army to defend the four gates, and then give the Japanese army a gate to fight the dog, and as for how to fight this dog, I think so, we will divide the Seventh Army Corps into a regiment, divided into a number of battle brigades, and take Dongcheng as the center, search and advance in different directions, I think, in less than half an hour, we can determine the movement of the Japanese army, besides, as long as it is not a large force of the enemy, the strength of a regiment will definitely make a difference, even if the Japanese army has a heavy ambush, based on the strength of a regiment, you must be able to hold on to help. In this way, the two problems of finding out the movements of the Japanese army and breaking the ambush of the Japanese army will be solved." Dongfang Bufu stretched out two fingers and told his thoughts.

"Good!" As soon as Dongfang Bufu's voice fell, he only heard a snap, Tian Xiaoer slapped his thigh and praised loudly.

Tian Xiaoer was so happy, he was not only happy because he had found a solution to the problem, but more importantly. He is happy for the East and the Chinese Empire, as if the East is not confused by this kind of brave general, if it can be supplemented by strategy, it is really amazing, amazing.

"The solution is good, but. The only thing we are afraid of is that this matter will be delayed for too long, and if the main force of the Japanese army has already withdrawn, then we will not be busy in vain." Although Wang Xiaoyong was also very happy for Dongfang Bufu, he had to consider the worst-case scenario.

This is indeed a dilemma, no matter how you do it, it seems that you can't do everything, and you can't do it foolproof.

"Well, what you are worried about is also a problem, in this way, I agree to do what the East wants, but in the process of the Seventh Army in the process of sweeping, if it has been confirmed that the main force of the Japanese army has withdrawn, please immediately send someone out of the city to reconnoitre, and return the information to the coalition command, I will personally lead the Sixth and Eighth Army Corps to pursue." Tian Xiaoer made a final decision after considering all aspects.

So the people were commanded to go their separate ways.

The Seventh Legion, under the command of Dongfang Bufu, began to search and advance in all directions in the city. (To be continued.) If you like this work.
