As soon as his words fell, someone seemed to have lit a huge cannon battle on the left, and with a boom, Tang Jingsong jumped up from his position in fright, "What? Tang Jingsong's face was full of horror, now he is no longer the literati and scholars who talked on paper in Beijing in the past, now he is used to seeing wars, and he also knows why such a loud noise came from, and the dust on the roof fell down, "No! Beyond the north gate is the Red River, and their artillery came from there! ”

"Of course they have artillery," Liu Yongfu quietly asked his soldiers to put on his armor, he was good at military affairs, although he was also very surprised just now, and after thinking about it, he figured it out, "Their military ships are on the Red River, as long as they are close to the shore and fight towards the city wall, it will be effortless, Brother Tang, today's battle seems to be a little difficult to fight." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Gu Ba looked at the French military team near the north with satisfaction and walked towards the north, "These stupid Chinese, we in France will not limit the battle situation to only one corner, dear adjutant, do you think our French advantage is?" ”

"Excellent soldiers, brilliant commanders, advanced weapons, and invincible navy, do you think I'm right, Lordship?" The lone lieutenant replied.

Gu Ba snapped his fingers, "Exactly right, so why don't we use all of our advantages?" We have an invincible navy, so why not use it in the battle of Beiqi? Although the large fleet cannot sail into the Red River, my few careful ironclad ships are not something that these Black Flag troops can resist, and then, let the Chinese taste the taste of our army and navy attacking together! ”

"But my lord, I must remind you that siege warfare requires several times the amount of troops to be effective," his lieutenant said worriedly, "and our ironclad ships cannot land. ”

"Don't worry, let's see how the French warriors are doing first, I've got other tricks ready," Lone's eyes narrowed, "Let the Black Flag Army enjoy our French feast!" ”

Liu Yongfu strode up the city wall, set up a tent to look at the scene outside the city gate, sure enough, there were eight or nine small warships floating in the Red River with a gentle current, even if these warships were small, in the eyes of the Black Flag Army, they were already incomparable steel monsters in the river, nine warships lined up in turn, and launched an artillery bombardment towards the north wall of Shanxi City, only to see the fire shining on the muzzle one after another, and then a burst of black smoke spread in the muzzle, and then the city wall was hit hard, "Boom, boom!" ”

Although the accuracy of the artillery bombardment caused by the fluctuations of the warship in the river water was not high, this move made the people stationed here in the Black Flag Army greatly frightened, and they had never seen the warship directly participate in the battle!

Liu Yongfu was keenly aware of the psychological fluctuations of the soldiers around him, and his face sank, "The French want to defeat the Black Flag Army with these uncertain artillery?" Wishful thinking, in the final analysis, can only be filled by human life, it is possible to capture Shanxi City, brothers of the Black Flag Army, are there any eggs under the crotch? If you don't have eggs, then surrender as soon as possible and become a French father-in-law! ”

A man's self-esteem is always the easiest to stimulate, and several generals on the city wall were stimulated by Liu Yongfu's caustic words and shouted, "Phew, even if you are a slave to someone, you can't give it to a French devil!" ”

"Just take a look at our appearance!"

"That's the best! You must know that now we are people of the imperial court," Liu Yongfu shouted, "Don't lose the face of the imperial court," the white goose French army on the ground slowly approached the city wall with muskets and feather arrows, "Take the drumsticks, and this seat will personally cheer you up!" ”

"Boom! Boom! Boom! The sound of artillery and gunfire could not cover up the drums as fast as the heartbeat, the ladder was erected, the French soldiers in the vicinity and the Vietnamese servant army began to climb the city wall together, the French army in the distance was shooting at the city wall, used to suppress the defense on the city wall, the narrow strip between the north gate and the Red River became a meat grinder, Liu Yongfu said right, since ancient times, siege warfare has always been filled with human lives, but there is a very difficult problem to face: the French fire suppression is too powerful.

Fortunately, the Black Flag Army gritted its teeth and persevered, and several times the French army waited for the city, but they were repelled by the Black Flag Army through gritted teeth, and those who were seriously injured did not go down to the battlefield.

But this is absolutely untenable, in the end of the north gate here even Liu Yongfu personally stood on the city wall to kill the enemy, look down, thousands of people and horses densely packed with white uniforms French troops are swarming, the Black Flag Army itself has no artillery, Tang Jingsong brought ten over, and later captured twenty French artillery at the paper bridge, damaged a few, all the artillery is arranged on the four sides of the city gate, the south gate here is stationed in the local Vietnamese army, the force is weak, so more in the south gate to arrange a few, so count, The number of artillery pieces that could be used on each side was very small, and it could only be used as a small function of confrontation, but could not counter the line of fire of the French.

"General, our soldiers are still fighting with the Black Flag Army, and they have attacked the city wall several times, but they have all been killed."

"It seems that the combat effectiveness of these people is still very strong," Gu Ba touched his chin thoughtfully, "Although I don't want to admit this, I have to say that the defensive ability of the Black Flag Army has exceeded my expectations, then, our reserve team can also come in handy, pass the order, we have to change the angle!" ”

The herald spoke French loudly, and a cannon that had not been shooting was ordered, lit the fire message, and with a "boom", a bunch of shells were sent out from the artillery, which exploded in mid-air, and sent out a red firework, which was particularly striking in the blue sky.

"Then let's go and strike at the enemies who are lagging behind!" Lonely cocked his chin haughtily and said indifferently, "Of course we have to look for their weakest link. ”

Liu Yongfu took the lead, and repelled a wave of attacks, he tiredly wiped the blood on his face, although the number is less than the French, but the defending side originally occupied the geographical advantage, relying on the city wall can reduce a lot of attacks, as long as you hold on to a few more waves, then the French will inevitably not be able to bear the casualties, you must know that the lives of the French are more expensive than the gold of the Black Flag Army, they are not willing to die too many people in these senseless places, Liu Yongfu was about to give the order, there were sudden shouts and noises from the south city, he turned his head in disbelief, Looking at the soldiers on the corner tower, the flag told him clearly, "The south gate is attacking!"
