Due to the timely arrival of the alarm, the defenders of Chishang Mansion and the Lockdown Mansion were all prepared.XshuOTXt.CoM in order to lure out those rebels, both sides invariably chose to loosen the outside and tighten the inside, and did not make any moves that might startle the snake.

The forces plotting rebellion in the two places were launched as scheduled.

There was a difference of one day before and after, and there were as many as more than ten forces in Chishang Mansion and the lockdown city, colluding to make chaos together while the sky was dark. Due to the early preparations, coupled with the higher recognition of the Taiping army on the side of the blockade, in just half a day, the rebellion of the blockade was put down, and all the forces involved were arrested.

The situation on the Chijofu side is a little worse.

Even if the Taiping army had been prepared for a long time and finally put down the rebellion, the losses and impact during this period were very large. The forces plotting the rebellion not only set fire to a granary of the Taiping army in Chishang Province and burned about 4,000 stone of grain, but also caused the Taiping garrison in Jiaode County to suffer a big loss, and the entire county was recovered for a time.

Although the county was recaptured by the Taiping army two days later due to its isolation, and several leading families were also raided and imprisoned, the order of Chishang Prefecture, which had only been on the right track for a short time, was once again much chaotic. It will take at least half a month just to clean up these negative effects.

This made Chen Wu very dissatisfied.

If the military intelligence department had not discovered the problem in advance, the defenders of Jiaode would have been taken by surprise, and the county seat would have been recaptured. Now Gan Xing has spread the news overnight, and there is still a day or two to prepare, and he still lost a county seat, so I have to say that he has a lot of responsibility.

On the one hand, he issued an order to re-take the captain stationed in Jiaode, and on the other hand, he gave instructions on how to deal with the rebel nobles and forces who were taken out of prison.

Decapitate them all!

The gentle tactics of the Taiping army since entering Songjiang obviously could not deter these local forces. Now, Chen Wu decided to use this bloody order to make the forces in Songjiang understand that the Taiping army was not vegetarian.

Those who supported the Taiping Army were at peace with each other; If you dare to plot a rebellion, these people will be the end.

At the sound of an order, a total of nearly 2,000 people in the three provinces were beheaded on the street!

Men and women, young and old!

Some people who had the courage to go over to see the excitement turned pale with fright from the human heads rolling on the ground and the blood all over the ground. The smell of blood in the market did not melt for a week, and no one dared to pass by it at night until a few years later. The forces of Yuyang, Closed City, and Chishang, or those who were once moved but didn't dare to take risks in the end, were also frightened by the Taiping Army's fierce retaliation, and they were full of luck and fear.

After this public killing and execution, the intimidated Sanfu suddenly became much more stable.

For a period of time in the foreseeable future, as long as the Taiping Army's shape is not so bad that it will fall with a casual push, I am afraid that no one will dare to rebel at will. This made many high-ranking members of the Taiping Army say in private that they should have come to such a killing a long time ago.

Fortunately, it's not too late!

Although Dengzhou's planned move did bring a lot of trouble to the Taiping army, and thousands of stones of grain were burned, it did not achieve the effect they expected. In Yuyang, Chishang, and the three prefectures of the closed city, none of the closed cities were recovered, and they failed to force the main force of the Taiping Army to return to the city to rescue.

The Dengzhou government was frustrated to find that they had not only failed to suppress the Taiping army on the front. Now, even harassing and creating chaos behind the scenes has not been effective, but has sacrificed a group of local forces that support the government in vain. The property confiscated by the Taiping army in turn strengthened the war potential of the Taiping army.

In this case, the only thing they can do is to step up the reconstruction of the Second Garrison Brigade and the training of new recruits, and at the same time hope that Osan Province can support it for a long time.

The Taiping army's slaughter is still there, and the time has entered July. It has been almost a year since the Taiping Army moved from Changshan Town. I think that at the beginning, although the Taiping army was mighty and thousands of people attacked Yicheng. But those thousands of people, there is not even a brigade that can really fight, almost all of them are unarmed villagers. But today, a month later, the Taiping Army already has more than 10,000 troops, the land of Sanfu, and the important strategic place Daqingguan in hand.

The speed of this self-made business is beyond everyone's imagination.

And now, after the army has repeatedly attacked Osan for so long, the fourth capital of Songjiang, Osan Mansion City, has finally tightened its city defense. The defenders in the city still have only 1,500 people; The cavalry also suffered heavy casualties after repeated attacks out of the city, leaving less than 600 horsemen.

Although the Taiping army suffered more casualties, it was continuously replenished with the support of the land of Sanfu and the wealth that the Taiping army looted from Taiping County. Not only did the total number of troops not decrease much, but the first and second batches of recruits sent by the War Readiness Administration were also tempered in the siege of the city in turns, and they quickly transformed into real soldiers, with a faint evil aura on their bodies.

Relying on this kind of supplement and training, the Taiping army outside Osan City became stronger and stronger!

Only when Chen Wu owned half of the wealth of Taiping County and a large amount of grain and grass baggage, and occupied a large grain-producing county like Songjiang, which was rich and famous all over the world, could he take such a route of development without exploiting the locality. Those who expect the Taiping army to become weaker and weaker because of the long attack on Wushan cannot be imagined.

Finally, July 6th.

In the non-stop offensive of the Taiping army, for the first time, they really captured a section of the city wall of Wushan, and almost extended the results of the battle.

Chen Wu knew that the opportunity to launch an all-out attack and take Osan had come.

From the siege in June to the present, the defenders of Osan Castle have long been exhausted. What's even worse is that the Taiping army dealt a psychological blow to them. The constant propaganda and surrender, as well as the reinforcements that have not yet been seen, make the defenders of Osan Castle suspect that they have been forgotten by Matsue and the Empire.

In the face of the despair that pervaded a large area of the defenders, as well as the extremely low morale, the Matsue Castle Guard was anxious in his eyes and heart, but he was helpless.

Not to mention the Taiping army outside the city, even they themselves vaguely felt that Wushan City seemed to be unable to hold it for too long.

The general offensive was officially launched at noon the next day.

In the previous offensive, the Taiping army never put in all its efforts in order to minimize the sacrifice. But now that the conditions were met, under Chen Wu's order, the army sent six brigades in one go, carrying a large number of ladders, and launched an unprecedented offensive with a scale that was more than double that of the previous one.

This time, in addition to the stone thrower and the bed crossbow, the Taiping army also set up the arrow tower that was once used!

After such a long period of consumption, the stone throwers in the city have basically been destroyed. Without its threat, the Taiping army could calmly build the arrow tower in front of the moat, and then let the Taiping infantry archers have a perfect aerial shooting platform to suppress the city. At the same time, because the defenders did not jam the city gate, the Taiping army also dispatched siege vehicles.

This special punch car is larger than the van car in the partial car formation. The overall structure resembles a spire-topped wooden house, which is unusually sturdy, with six wheels underneath. The outside was covered with two layers of tanned cowhide to prevent the defenders from destroying it. In addition, the entire siege vehicle was poured with mud, which was extremely difficult to ignite.

While the soldiers who were attacking the city attracted the attention of the defenders, the siege vehicle was pushed by the soldiers to the city gate. They then struggled to push huge logs suspended from the beams in chains, and slammed the gates with their metal heads at the front.

Every time, there was a force of thousands of catties, and the city gate of Yuyang shook violently.

The defenders on the tower of the city gate, of course, would not let it go, and used a small batch of rolling wood and stones that were rushed overnight in an attempt to destroy the siege engines, and some people poured boiling hot water and gold juice on it. The few remaining archers of the defenders also gave priority to this side to strike at the soldiers who operated the siege engines.

Behind the city gates, the cavalry lined up and prepared.

When necessary, they did not hesitate to rush out again and fight to the death against the thief army.

Today's massive attack made them understand that Osan City was likely to usher in its final moments.

After replacing five batches of soldiers from the engineering battalion, destroying three siege vehicles, and paying huge sacrifices, supplemented by the suppression of two arrow towers, the gates of Osan finally reached the point of crumbling.

Seeing this, the cavalry, who had already prepared, took the initiative to open the city and came out of the city with a look of anger.

Wielding their sabers, they galloped out from both sides of the siege engine. The sword slashed through them, hacking to death the soldiers of the engineering battalion who were trying to escape when they saw that the situation was not good, and rushed towards the outside of the city. In order to wait for all the follow-up cavalry to leave the city, they would stop in the nearby open space as usual, adjust the formation by the way, and then charge and kill the Taiping soldiers who were burying their heads in the siege, destroying the ladder and delaying the offensive.

In the past, the cavalry had been fighting out of the city many times, and the cavalry had always done this. Since their total number and combat strength were stronger than the Taiping army's horse team, the Taiping army did not have a very good way.

But today, these cavalrymen were badly pitted by their habits.

The Taiping army specially pulled out four stone throwers, calibrated the angle and direction in advance, and aimed at the open space where these cavalry were accustomed to meeting and adjusting their formation. Seeing a rider rushing out from behind the city gate, he quickly gathered and formed an attack arrow, and the soldiers of the engineering battalion who operated the catapult were ordered to release the winch together.

The stone bullets that had been loaded in advance crossed a graceful arc and smashed down on the clearing.

Although the accuracy of the stone throwers was far from being comparable to that of the artillery, a large number of stone bullets fell from the sky in the case of the test firing in advance, calibrated and loaded with dense stone shells, which still caused staggering casualties to these cavalry. In the midst of the screams, twenty or thirty riders died on the spot in the blink of an eye.

"Not good!"

Realizing that they had been overshadowed by the Taiping army, the remaining cavalry did not care about converging, and ran away from the open field in panic in order to get out of the range of the catapult. But at this time, the horse team under the command of Yan Dongxing had also received orders and rushed out of the Taiping army.

This time, Chen Wu was ruthless, and he wanted to completely wipe out the last cavalry of Songjiang at any cost!
