readx;? After Xu Yang led the army into Longjing, he smelled the pungent smell of gunpowder in the air, and it was conceivable that Longjing was breaking out in an earth-shattering fight at the moment. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

And when everyone realized that it was not good, and they felt that they were still a step too late, Xu Yang immediately ordered to rush towards Longjing City at a high speed.

The closer everyone got to Longjing City, the overwhelming pungent smell of gunpowder became, and they even felt that the air had become hot, which made people feel enthusiastic and worried about Longjing.

The army rushed in the direction of Longjing day and night, although they wanted to grow wings and pounce on Longjing, but everyone also knew that even if they ran to Longjing, they would still not be able to win the battle due to the physical strength of the soldiers.

As night fell, the army had to be stationed first, and began to rest in place.

When everyone looked towards the far east, they saw that the sea of clouds in the sky was as red as a burning cloud, and the sound of artillery fire could be faintly heard, and the heavens and the earth were agitated and disordered, making the air hot.

"General Xu, it seems that the foreign army has been attacking Longjing City for several days. A general said angrily.

And just when everyone was resting and looking in the direction of Longjing City, they suddenly saw a man and a horse galloping towards them.

I saw that this cavalry quickly came to Xu Yang and other generals, and hurriedly clenched his fists and said: "General, the foreign armies of various countries have surrounded Longjing City impenetrably, and the city wall has been beaten to a thousand holes. However, due to the desperate resistance of the soldiers and generals of Longjing City, the foreign army has not conquered the city so far. ”

When everyone heard that Longjing City was still in the hands of the imperial court and had not yet been conquered by the foreign army, they breathed a heavy sigh of relief and said with a smile: "In this way, we can be regarded as timely when we come to Longjing!"

"General Xu, after my army of 500,000 comes to Longjing, I can use the strategy of combining inside and outside to sweep away this group of foreign devils in one fell swoop. A general said with a smile.

"General Xu, since the foreign army has surrounded Longjing City, and all the attention is on the direction of Longjing City, we can now take advantage of its unpreparedness to attack their rear, so that the foreign army will not be able to take care of it. Another general offered advice.

"General Xu, I am willing to lead 100,000 soldiers to the east gate of the city and fight to the death against the foreign army!" a general pleaded.

"General Xu, I am willing to lead 100,000 soldiers to the west gate of the city to compete with the foreign army!"

"General Xu, I am willing to lead 100,000 soldiers to the city gate on the north side to fight the foreign army!"

"General Xu, I am willing to lead 100,000 soldiers to the city gate on the south side and fight to the death with the foreign army!"

Xu Yang saw that the generals began to make suggestions and suggestions, and began to ask for orders to fight, nodded with satisfaction, and felt that everyone would tell the way to fight with the foreign army, and also said their hearts.

And just when the generals were offering advice and asking for their lives, the cavalry who came from the direction of Longjing City also came back one after another, and reported the situation in Longjing City to the generals one by one.

"Since this is the case, then we will come to the inside and outside to fight the foreign army by surprise and disregard. Xu Yang said with a smile.

Seeing that Xu Yang agreed, the generals smiled from ear to ear and listened to Xu Yang's next orders.

Xu Yang looked at the soldiers and generals who were all high-spirited, and said thoughtfully: "According to the cavalry's investigation of Longjing City just now, it is estimated that the foreign army will not be able to conquer Xialongjing City for the time being. Therefore, the armies from all walks of life first quietly came to the rear of the foreigner army, and at ten ten points in the middle of the night the next day, we waited for the simultaneous attack on the foreigner army, so that we could catch the foreigner army by surprise. ”

"General Xu, if you have any orders, please give instructions!" the generals said.

Xu Yang looked at the excited looks of everyone one by one, and began to dispatch troops: "General Liu, General Li, lead 100,000 soldiers to attack the city gate on the east side of Longjing! General Lu and General Pang, you two lead 100,000 soldiers to attack the city gate on the west side! General Hao and General Wu, lead 100,000 soldiers to attack the city gate on the north side of Longjing! General Wei and General Deng, lead 100,000 soldiers to attack the city gate on the east side of Longjing!"

"Obey!" replied the eight generals in unison.

Xu Yang nodded, let the eight generals act separately, and warned everyone to be careful all the way, and not to startle the snake in advance, otherwise the plan will be ruined.

The eight generals nodded yes, gave the order to leave one by one, and then began to divide up and prepare.

Under the cover of night, the army saw that the crowd began to stir for a while, and then the army gradually divided into five groups, four of which quietly advanced in the direction of Longjing City, except for the last 100,000 soldiers who remained in place.

"Sect Master, are you trying to lead these 100,000 soldiers into battle?" Apo asked.

Xu Yang nodded and said, "The foreigner army has been attacking Longjing City for so long, and it has not been able to attack Xiacheng for a long time, so it must not have been attacked with all its might. Moreover, when the cavalry came back to report just now, they did not mention anything unusual about the foreign army, so these talented people must have also hidden. I kept these troops just in case something unexpected happened. ”

After Xu Yang said this, Apo understood the reason for coming, but he felt that Xu Yang seemed to let the 400,000 soldiers and generals go to explore the way and send them to death.

Although Apo thought so in his heart, he didn't dare to say what was in his heart, because only in this way could he be safe and successful, and finally be able to win.

I saw that these four armies took advantage of the cover of the night, divided their east and west, and stationed in the designated place, quietly came to the far places of the southeast and northwest gates of Longjing City, and kept a distance of five kilometers from Longjing City, so that they could see the situation in Longjing City, but they were not noticed by the foreign army.

When the four armies stood still, one by one prostrate on the ground, looking towards Longjing City, they saw that Longjing City had been surrounded by foreign troops, and one artillery was firing at the city wall without stopping, making the heavens and the earth turbulent.

I saw the towering and boundless Longjing City, surrounded by foreign armies from all over the world in all directions, and the foreign army was separated by a mile from Longjing City, and lined up a door of artillery in front of the army. Behind the artillery, there were groups of foreign soldiers, one by one, as if they were impatient to rush out of Longjing to burn and loot.

On the wall of Longjing City, there were court soldiers huddled inside and outside, and the artillery of one door was also fired towards the foreign army outside the city, but only these shells could hit the foreign army in twos and threes, and most of the shells missed.

The imperial army relied on the thick and sturdy city walls, and all of them huddled behind the walls, except for the artillery that counterattacked aimlessly towards the foreign army.

Judging from the artillery offensive of the imperial army, it has a somewhat perfunctory appearance, and the shells are still fired irregularly.

Even if a cannonball fell in the foreign army, the cannonball only shone some sparks, and did not burst out with the power it should have, so that the foreign soldier was only slightly injured, and the cannonball had no lethality at all.

It can be seen that these shells of the imperial court are also produced by cutting corners, and they are all inferior shells one after another, and they can't help the imposing foreign army at all, and it also makes the foreign army more and more arrogant.

On the other hand, these shells in the foreign army, whether they hit the city wall or hit the Longjing City, all caused the ground to shake, and the city was in an uproar, as if the city wall was covered with a red fire coat, making the city wall a sea of fire.

Because the imperial soldiers were hiding behind the city walls, there were no major casualties among the soldiers. At this moment, the city wall has become crumbling and fragile, like a layer of paper, which will be knocked out by cannonballs at any time and at any time.

And the foreign army did not seem to be in a hurry to attack Longjing, and it was as if there was a steady supply of cannonballs, and it was unhurriedly consumed, as if all the walls around Longjing were going to collapse with cannonballs.

As dawn gradually approached, the foreign army still attacked the city wall with artillery incessantly, which also made the sky and the earth filled with gunsmoke, the air boiled, and the city wall trembled more and more violently, and it looked like it could collapse at any time.

The Gan Provincial Army, not far from the gates of Longjing City, still stood still, only waiting for the arrival of ten o'clock in the night, and then launched an attack on these foreign armies at the same time.

Xu Yang saw that the dawn had come, and the soldiers around him had already rested for the night, which was enough to recuperate.

So, the soldiers and generals on Xu Yang's side finished their meals, packed up their things, and quietly rushed towards the direction of Longjing City.

The 100,000 soldiers on Xu Yang's side marched from east to west, and the direction happened to be the west gate of Longjing City. As for the country where the west gate is, and what kind of powerful opponents there are, Xu Yang doesn't know.

And when Xu Yang's army was still ten miles away from Longjing City, it stopped, and then stood still and prostrate on the ground, looking at the Gan Provincial army in front of him, and the foreign army under Longjing City.

Although Xu Yang could see every move of the foreign army, he couldn't see the appearance and clothing of these foreign soldiers, so he was even more unsure that the country was stationed here.

Xu Yang took the binoculars from a general beside him, and then looked towards the foreign army, and was surprised to see that these foreign troops had two kinds of clothing and two appearances, and they were separated from the left and right, which showed that two countries were stationed here.

I saw that the soldiers of these armies were all dressed neatly and armed with advanced muskets, but their faces were yellow and white.

Looking at the national flags of the two armies waving in the wind, I saw that one national flag was white with a white background, and there was a red circle in the center, which was as eye-catching as a huge dog skin plaster. The flag of the other side is composed of thirteen red and white horizontal stripes, and there is a rectangle composed of a white star on a blue background at one end and one corner, like the Star-Spangled Banner.
