The large-caliber main guns on the ironclad ship are once again mighty, and the forts on the head of Guangzhou City, as long as they are hit, even people with guns will take off at the same time, and then scatter into scrap iron and minced meat!

Where did the Qing army in Guangzhou City see such a powerful cannon?

After only an hour of artillery bombardment, all the Qing artillery in the port and at the head of the city collapsed, and the officers and men of the defenders at the head of the city also cried and retreated.

Immediately, the infantry of the Taiping Army, without any enemy firepower, swaggered down on the wooden planks in the excellent port, and then unloaded all kinds of weapons, ammunition and materials in an orderly manner.

From beginning to end, the Qing army in Guangzhou did not even dare to show their heads......

Just watched the Taiping Army complete the landing!

As for the surrounding Han people who didn't have time to escape, after seeing the Chinese character banner held high by the Taiping Army, they felt a sense of identity for no reason.

Perhaps, this Han army from overseas can really drive away the Manchu Tartars?

The Taiping army took the lead in unloading the grenadiers, and then, under the cover of rifles, advanced to the outside of the city wall, set up the grenadiers and bombarded the Qing troops behind the city wall......

This traditional square city wall is a big target in front of the Taiping army, and even the European diamond-shaped fortress is helpless against the firepower advantage of the Taiping army, not to mention this kind of square city wall mainly used in cold weapon warfare?

When the Qing army behind the city wall was crying wolf with a grenadier, the Taiping Army demolition team was familiar with the road and blew up several gaps in the city wall of Guangzhou City in a few roars!

Immediately, the Taiping infantry swarmed up, occupied the commanding heights of the gravel gap, set up the Makqin heavy machine gun and aimed at the Qing army who tried to rush up to block the gap in the city wall......

Not surprisingly, the Qing army that rushed up did not even get close to the Taiping army within ten meters, and it collapsed again!

Hundreds of corpses were placed on the road of the charge, telling the tragedy just now!

The Taiping army, wearing modern military uniforms and big caps, with rifles with bayonets, swarmed in through the gap in the city wall, and when they encountered a large number of Qing troops, they stopped and lined up in two rows of guns, and after several rounds of guns, the Qing soldiers with broadswords, spears and birds in their hands retreated......

The Manchu Qing war officials wielding broadswords hacked dozens of routs to death, but they still couldn't stop the rout of the Qing army!

As for the armed young men and local inspectors who were temporarily formed, they almost scattered as soon as they saw the battle flag of the Taiping Army, and they would not even try to resist symbolically......

In just one day, the city of Guangzhou was occupied under the incredible gaze of the Qing army!

After the whole battle, the Qing army did not stop the footsteps of the Taiping army even for a minute!

If you shoot with a rifle at a distance or throw a grenade at a distance, even the most brave Qing army will collapse immediately......

More than half of the Manchu officials above the seventh rank hanged themselves in their own homes and government offices, because these officials had no time to transfer their family members, and when the Taiping soldiers stepped into the government office, they saw not only Manchu officials who had hanged themselves or drunk poisoned wine, but also female relatives and even children who were dead and blind!

However, the Taiping army had long been accustomed to this kind of thing, and only gathered the corpses together and burned them, and then cleaned up the important government offices and used them as temporary headquarters for the arrival of high-ranking officers.

The density of guns in the First Battle of Guangzhou was unheard of, and the rapid progress made the citizens of Guangzhou stunned, and they realized for the first time the true combat effectiveness of the Taiping Army!

Those Qing troops defending the city are not ordinary soldiers used to hunt down thieves in peacetime, but soldiers who have only recently been transferred!

That is, the first sequence of field regular armies in the Manchu Empire!

This kind of soldier is unexpectedly vulnerable under the blows of the Taiping army......

The fall of Guangzhou City was so fast that the Qing soldiers in the city of Guangzhou had no time to send messengers to tell reinforcements from other directions!

As a result, the Taiping army set up a position to encircle the point to send reinforcements.

A group of Qing reinforcements with more than 10,000 people arrived outside Guangzhou, and then were bombarded by the Taiping army's 75mm rapid-fire guns, and the explosion was overwhelming, and then the Taiping army rushed up and put away the Makqin heavy machine guns and grenadiers, and slaughtered, at this time, the Qing army was basically completely dispersed......

Compared with the anti-Han alliance that once required the Taiping army to use bayonets to defeat, the performance of the green battalion of the Qing army was simply scum!

The Taiping Army just smashed down a series of firepower processes, and not a single formed unit in the green battalion of the Qing army could continue to resist!

The poor green battalion of the Qing army had never seen such ferocious firepower at all, and it was suddenly hit, so it was strange if it was not confused......

In this way, it took only one month for the Taiping army to defeat the main force of the 100,000 Qing army's green battalion, and then, the Taiping army expanded to the entire Guangdong province with a great victory.

The defeat of the Qing army had already spread the invincible image of the Taiping army throughout Guangdong Province, and without the obstruction of the green battalion of the regular army of the Qing army, the Taiping army occupied one city after another almost as an armed march.

Each time a city was captured, the Taiping officers would join forces with the Celestial Commissioners (i.e., the system administrators) to drink and mingle with the representatives of the local gentry.

Then, after asking for a batch of labor and army supplies, there was no intention of disrupting the local order, and only activities were carried out in the city.

Except for the local gentry who raised the banner to oppose the rule of the Taiping army, they were attacked by the thunder of the Taiping army, and the rest of the local gentry were unharmed.

And also got a clear promise from the Taiping Army that as long as they support the rule of the Taiping Army, being an official will never be a problem!

Under the generous policy of the Taiping Army, almost all of them followed the basic rule of the Manchu Empire, and there was no turmoil without reform, and the local gentry naturally welcomed the entry of the Taiping Army, which maintained the current situation!

To maintain the present situation is to recognize the vested interests of the local gentry!

The actions of the Taiping army in Guangdong Province soon reached the ears of the gentry class in the surrounding provinces, and sometimes, the source speed of these local snakes was three points faster than that of the government!

Therefore, the Qing military offices in the surrounding provinces of Guangdong did not receive much support from the gentry for recruiting local soldiers to train and prepare for war, since they already knew that the Taiping army would not kill innocents indiscriminately, and would even maintain the current policy, and the local gentry were not fools, so why did they contribute to their own wealth in vain?

The Taiping army wants to fight your Manchu court, and everyone is Han, so naturally they will not wholeheartedly support it.

The gentry class soon elevated the Taiping army's behavior of maintaining their vested interests to the high and upper echelons of the Manchu-Han dispute, and put gold on their faces!

The Manchu government clearly felt the passive confrontation from the local gentry!
