The clock went back seven hours ago.

When Su Yu heard that Qin Rigang had solemnly gone to attack Liuhe, he was immediately overjoyed.

He knew that the opportunity had come, and he immediately went to meet the commander of the Jiangbei camp, Tuo Ming'a.

"Dashuai, do you believe me?" Su Yu said.

Tomin said: "I didn't say it, I absolutely believe you." ”

Su Yu said: "You say, if we recapture Yangzhou City, what a huge merit it will be?" ”

Tomina shuddered.

This time is different from history, in history, Yangzhou City was given up by Qin Rigang on his own initiative, so the Qing army picked up Yangzhou City, so there is no credit.

In this world, Qin Rigang did not take the initiative to give up Yangzhou City, so if Yangzhou City was recaptured, the credit would naturally not be the same.

But after thinking about it, Tomin still shook his head and said: "Brother Su Yu, we know our own affairs, and with less than 20,000 troops in my hands, it is absolutely impossible to defeat Yangzhou." ”

Of course, there are now 17,000 defenders in Yangzhou City.

Relying on the Jiangbei camp, there are less than 20,000 people, even if you add more than 1,000 people from Su Yao, you will definitely not be able to take it.

Su Yu said: "Then brother, just do my brother a favor, how about it?" ”

"You say, as long as I can do it." ”

Su Yu said: "You led 20,000 troops to follow me south, pretending to attack Zhenjiang. ”

Tuo Ming'a was even more surprised: "What are you doing in Zhenjiang?" Zhenjiang City has been operating against the business for a long time, and it is even more impossible to fight it. ”

Su Yu said: "It's just a feint, not a real fight." You only need to lead the army outside Zhenjiang City, at most a few hours, and before the rebel army arrives, you can lead the army to retreat. Whether it is to retreat to the camp of Jiuhua Mountain, or to retreat to Danyang City, it is okay. ”

Tomin said: "Brother, you are confused, you tell the old brother to confess, what do you want?" ”

So, Su Yu told the original plan of his plan.

Suddenly, Tomina was completely stunned and looked at Su Yu in disbelief.

This...... It's a crazy plan.

He suddenly came to the map and looked at it carefully for a long time.

Suddenly I still felt incredible.

Su Yu said: "More than 20,000 of us feinted to attack Zhenjiang, will Qin Rigang go to the rescue?" ”

Tuo Minga said: "That's certain, for the rebellion, Zhenjiang is more important than Yangzhou." ”

Su Yu said: "If you want to save Zhenjiang, how many troops does he need to bring?" ”

Tuo Minga said: "Now the main force of the rebellion is attacking the Jiangnan camp, and it can't draw troops and horses. Qin Rigang's side is also attacking Liuhe and Xincheng, so he can only transfer troops from Yangzhou, and our army is pouring out to fight Zhenjiang, Yangzhou has no threat in Jiangbei, so he will probably send a lot of troops to save Zhenjiang, leaving two or three thousand defenders. ”

As he spoke, Tomin felt that this plan really had a chance of success.

"Brother Su, do you know how difficult it is? Just a little bit of error can be doomed. Moreover, your new army needs to be traveled for more than a hundred miles in a short period of time, and then attack Yangzhou City immediately, and even the time left for you will not exceed a few hours. ”

Su Yu said: "That's right! ”

Tuo Ming'a said: "Brother Su Yu, you are simply a madman, a complete madman. ”

Su Yu said: "If I succeed, then the credit will be shared with you." Even if I don't succeed, it will have no effect on you, we will fight from beginning to end, your army just follows me to Zhenjiang, and you don't even need to go to Zhenjiang, as long as Qin Rigang sees your army going south to Zhenjiang, it is enough. ”

Tuo Ming'a said: "Brother Su Yu, elder brother, if I say a word to dig out my heart, your current credit is completely enough, there is no need to work so hard." ”

Su Yu said: "Brother, time is running out. ”

Tomina said: "You are still so young, what time is there for me?" I can see that you can enter the military aircraft department before the age of thirty, and you can get everything before the age of forty, what is the minister of the guard, what is the military aircraft foreman, you are another Fu Heng. ”

Su Yu was silent and said, "If it's just for personal glory and wealth, of course it's enough, but ......"

He didn't finish his words.

Tomina said: "I heard a rumor that you came back from the dead to save the Qing Dynasty?" ”

Save the country.

It's not a big Qing Dynasty.

Su Yu said: "Old brother, do you think it's ridiculous? ”

Tomina was silent for a while and said, "I'm sorry, my brother has never seen such a person, it's really like in the play." ”

In this day and age, it is not without idealists.

Even many scholars start out as idealists, but soon sink into personal power.

Zeng Guofan, Li Hongzhang, Yuan Shikai. These three people may have very different personalities, but they are the same kind of people after all.

A true idealist, and put into practice.

Counting forward, Lord Lin Zexu counts as one.

Counting back, Lord Zuo Zongtang counts as one.

Especially the latter, who has been working hard for the country all his life, in the middle and late stages, although the official position is quite big, he has not enjoyed a good day, the worst battles, the most difficult things are handed over to him to do, and he has to accept Li Hongzhang's backstabbing.

Moreover, what Lord Zuo Zongtang did was really not only beneficial to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but to the entire Chinese nation.

Therefore, Su Yu is really eager for this Lord Zuo Zongtang.

However, Lord Zuo probably didn't look down on Su Yu at this time, although he was now Luo Bingzhang's staff, he was completely exercising the power of the governor of Hunan, and he was doing big things.

Tomin fell silent and said, "Brother, I don't understand what you have to do. I just think that this Jiangshan Society is extremely rotten, just look at the corpse vegetarian table like me. But I've never met anyone like you, I've never seen anyone like you. ”

"After coming with the army, he didn't dismantle the platform, didn't shirk, he came up and beat the enemy army in an uproar, and after winning the battle, he rushed directly to support the friendly army, not fighting for merit, not harming others."

"We really haven't seen it, and we don't understand it."

"But, my brother admires you."

"Okay, that's it!"

Tomin hammered the table and said, "My brother is playing this game with you!" ”

"But you also have to be considerate, my brother's ability is not very good, and my brother's soldiers are even more sparse, it really means to act with you, and it is not possible to really fight."

Su Yu said: "That's enough!" ”

"Thank you, brother."

……………………………………………………

The battlefield outside Liuhe City!

Qin Rigang was a little surprised.

Boyan Nemohu was also a little surprised.

Your cavalry battalion looks so fierce, and its combat effectiveness is at this level?

At the beginning, the Taiping Army saw the elite of the cavalry battalion but felt inferior, and felt that they were the real cavalry, what did they count? Totally a beggar cavalry.

And when the cavalry battalion charged, the formation was first-class.

When riding and shooting, it is also fierce enough.

Even at the moment when the final charge hit, it was fierce.

The cavalry of the Taiping army fell to the ground and died.

However, when the real white-knuckle battle is fought, the original form is revealed.

First of all, the sophistication of white-knuckle combat is completely inferior to that of the Taiping cavalry.

This group of veterans of the Taiping Army has been completely killed countless times, and they have incomparably rich combat experience.

Where the knife comes from, what force, how to dodge, is completely instinctive.

And Boyan's elite cavalry battalion was completely raised with money, and during this time, the formation was extremely beautiful, the movements were neat, and even the riding and shooting were very good.

However, he has never had actual combat experience, let alone such crazy fighting experience.

Actually, it doesn't matter.

You're well equipped, you're wearing armor, what are you afraid of?

The cavalry of the Taiping Army has no armor on their bodies.

So as long as the will to fight is strong enough, as long as the endurance is strong enough, you can still win.

What the riding camp lacks is endurance, and what it lacks is will.

This armor is too heavy, and I don't think it's anything if it's short, but after a long time, and after a few slashes with a knife, my physical strength is gone.

Soon I couldn't even lift my arms.

This is also the disadvantage of the entire Qing court soldiers, the battle of Bali Bridge, it is not that no one rushed into the position of the British and French forces, many people are actually hot-headed, very reckless, and rushed directly through the rain of bullets and artillery fire.

But after rushing over, his physical strength and combat level are not comparable to others at all.

It was easy to be defeated.

At this point, the Hunan army and the Taiping army were much more fierce.

On the battlefield.

The cavalry of the Taiping Army, the more fierce the battle, the more crazy the more they fought.

And the cavalry battalion, the more you fight, the more powerless, the more you fight, the more frightened.

When fighting at close range, this group of Taiping soldiers was too terrifying.

One by one, they were not afraid of death, they were hideous and terrifying, and the knives in their hands slashed wildly and stabbed wildly. Even if he was slashed and the blood flowed profusely, he still continued to fight.

It is precisely because of this characteristic that the proportion of casualties in the battles between the Hunan army and the Taiping army is often surprisingly high.

The more I hit, the more shocked I became.

When this fear reaches its limit.

The morale of the cavalry battalion collapsed.

Qin Rigang and the others suddenly changed from serious to contempt.

The clear demon is still the clear demon.

It's really a good look, looking good, and a silver-like pewter gun head.

So, his eyes were staring directly at Boyan Nemohu.

Is this one of the two top young heroes of the Qing Demon?

Then I'll meet you for a while.

Suddenly, Qin Rigang pulled out his knife and slowly rushed towards Bo Yan.

His speed was slow, but his will was extremely resolute.

Then, faster and faster, faster and faster.

Boyan Nemohu suddenly felt that his scalp was numb, and the soldiers were brave, which was not wrong.

This cavalry battalion has brought too much negative impact to him.

He really thought that his cavalry battalion was very strong.

Outcome...... It's so unbearable.

At this time, Qin Rigang rushed towards him, and his whole body began to tremble slightly.

I am the son of Prince Korqin.

I am a descendant of the Golden Family, Genghis Khan.

My ancestors once conquered half the world.

I want to restore the glory of my ancestors!

Then, Boyan Nemohu also pulled out his war knife violently, wanting to stage a peak duel with Qin Rigang.

Come, come, come!

I want to prove to the whole world that my Boyan is a hero and the future Optimus Jade Pillar of the Qing Dynasty.

But......

At this time, his cavalry camp collapsed.

Obviously, the casualties were not large, but they collapsed inexplicably.

People started to run away.

Next, more and more people fled.

Boyan Namohu shouted loudly: "Don't run, don't run, don't run!" ”

But it didn't work, more and more people ran away, more and more.

The cavalry of the Taiping Army, on the contrary, fought more and more fiercely, and pursued them frantically.

Boyan Namohu was horrified to find that he would soon have no one around him.

And Qin Rigang's side had already rushed up frantically.

He was furious.

Waste, you bunch of waste.

It took me so long, so much silver, and the result of raising it was still waste.

Then he turned his horse's head around, followed his cavalry battalion, and fled.

At this point, Boyan was defeated!

…………………………………………………………

Qin Rigang led the cavalry and frantically pursued for more than ten miles behind.

But...... Their horses were not tall enough, and once the cavalry began to flee, it would be difficult for them to catch up.

watched as Boyan Nemohu rushed into the new city.

"Hmph, is this one of the two juveniles of the Qing Dynasty?" Qin Rigang said disdainfully.

This Boyan Nemohu's cavalry battalion has a false appearance, but what about Su Yu's new army?

"According to the performance on the battlefield, Su Yu's new army is similar to this Boyan's cavalry battalion." Wu Ruxiao said.

Qin Rigang said: "What do you say? ”

Wu Ruxiao said: "The array is very aligned, but it can't hold it at the critical moment, I'm afraid of death, and it's easy to collapse morale." ”

"During the first battle of the camp of the Fairy Temple, the brothers who fled back said that in fact, after they rushed into the defense line of the camp, Su Yu's new army was obviously panicked, and the white-knuckle battle was obviously not our opponent, if it wasn't for the cavalry to kill it, we might be able to win that battle."

"There is also the battle of Shao Bozhen's camp, the reason why Su Yu's new army wiped out more than 1,000 of us was entirely because of the attack across the river, their marksmanship was too accurate, their foreign guns were too good, and how many people we rushed up were given in vain."

"But in the end, dozens of our artillery pieces were about to move south, and when they opened fire on them, their morale was obviously on the verge of collapse, and many people were already so frightened that they peed their pants."

Qin Rigang said: "A clear demon is a clear demon, if you don't have a hard life, at a critical moment, you will be cowardly." ”

Wu Ruxiao said: "The cavalry camp is outside the golden jade, so Liuhe and Xincheng will not be able to take it long to take down." ”

Qin Rigang said: "What is the main force of the Shao Bo Town battalion of Tominga doing? What is Su Yu's new army doing? Are they all cowering in their own camps? ”

And at this very time.

A group of cavalry from the south, galloping towards them, shouted loudly.

"King Yan, the big thing is not good, the big thing is not good!"

"The Qing Demon Army, attacking Zhenjiang, is in danger!"

When Qin Rigang heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned.

What?

Attack Zhenjiang?

Why?

"How many Qing Demon troops attacked Zhenjiang?" Qin Rigang asked.

The messenger said: "All, many, many! ”

Qin Rigang said angrily: "How much? ”

The messenger said: "The main force of Tomin'a is all pouring out, and the new army of Su is pouring out." ”

That's more than 20,000 people?

"And artillery, more than a dozen guns, have been bombarding indiscriminately."

"The offensive was very fierce."

Qin Rigang said: "What kind of artillery?" ”

The messenger said: "I can't see it, it should be the fast artillery of the foreigners, not the artillery of the Jiangbei battalion, it should be the artillery of the new army." ”

Wu Ruxiao said: "King Yan, the new army has never been artillery in the previous battles. Now the artillery is dispatched, this is to take out all the things at the bottom of the box, which is a must for Zhenjiang. ”

Qin Rigang had no choice.

Zhenjiang must be saved, for the Kingdom of Heaven, Zhenjiang is much more important than Yangzhou.

Once Zhenjiang is lost, Guazhou will be difficult to protect.

Once Guazhou is lost, the Yangtze River will be completely lost.

Therefore, Zhenjiang must be saved.

And since he sent troops to rescue, he simply went all out, not only saved Zhenjiang, but also attacked inside and outside, and ate the main force of Tomin'a's Jiangbei battalion and Su Yu's new army together.

How many people to take?

Liuhe and Xincheng are guarded by two waste armies, and they are not in a hurry.

8,000 troops, besieged the two cities without fighting.

Now the army that Qin Rigang can mobilize is only 17,000 people in Yangzhou City.

"Leaving 3,000 people to guard Yangzhou City is enough, in the entire Jiangbei, there is no Qing Demon Army, and even 2,000 people are enough."

Qin Rigang made a quick decision.

The 2,500 cavalry at hand were all brought along, and 14,000 people were transferred from the defenders of Yangzhou City, a total of 16,000 five major troops, to support Zhenjiang in the south, and to cooperate with the outside to eat the main force of Tomina and the new army of Su Yu in one fell swoop.

As a result, there were still 3,000 defenders left in Yangzhou City.

Seven thousand troops surrounded Liuhe and Xincheng, which is still a bit less, plus one thousand, for a total of eight thousand.

Four thousand people surrounded a city, which is still less, but it is enough to deter the Qing demon inside.

This is a typical case of holding two cities with chopsticks in his left and right hands, holding a Yangzhou in his mouth, and leaving his feet free to attack the main force of Tomin'a and the new army of Su Yu, who attacked Zhenjiang.

As for Su Yu coming back to attack Yangzhou, the leaders of the Taiping army didn't think about it at all.

There is no such possibility at all.

……………………………………………………

Two hours later!

Qin Rigang led nearly 17,000 people, and the tide generally went south to save Zhenjiang City.

The army first arrived at Guazhou, and then crossed the river by boat.

At this time, why not attack halfway?

There is almost no such possibility, because on the other side of Guazhou, there are also a large number of fortresses of the Taiping army.

Each time the Taiping army crossed the Yangtze River at these two points.

On the contrary, the Qing army had no real fortress strongholds on both sides of the Yangtze River in this area, and every time they crossed the river, there was a risk of being attacked by the half-crossing.

And at this time.

The battlefield of Zhenjiang City looks really precarious.

Su To's artillery, completely tirelessly fired.

"Boom Boom Boom Boom ......"

Su Yu's new army, a few hundred meters away, shot at the head of the city.

And Tomina's 20,000 main forces are also constantly building momentum, pretending to be ready to attack the city in waves.

Whoever looks at it thinks that the Qing Demon is determined to win Zhenjiang City this time.

Therefore, the messengers in Zhenjiang City for help went out of the city in waves.

Every half an hour, a wave was sent out, and it seemed that 100,000 were in a hurry.

…………………………………………………………

As soon as Qin Rigang was on the march, he received several letters of help from Zhenjiang.

He couldn't help but roar angrily: "It's already here, it's already here, why don't you let me fly over?" ”

"The army crosses the river, doesn't it take time?"

However, he could probably guess how fierce the battle in Zhenjiang was.

From Guazhou, you can hear the sound of dense artillery fire.

"Quick, Quick, Fast......"

Qin Rigang desperately urged, and even whipped with a whip, desperately speeding up the time for the troops to cross the river.

Even if it's such a crazy urging.

The speed at which more than 10,000 people crossed the river was still not fast.

Not to mention the fact that there are three thousand war horses.

It took hundreds of small boats several hours to finally complete the crossing.

Along the way, Qin Rigang almost fought for his life.

The cavalry troops led by him had just crossed the river, and they had no time to rest, so they immediately led 2,500 cavalry and rushed to Zhenjiang.

handed over all the troops behind to Wu Ruxiao.

Although these 3,000 cavalry could not change the situation of the battle, they could interfere with the rhythm of Tomin'a and Su Yu's attack on Zhenjiang.

As a result, when I rushed halfway there, I suddenly found that the sound of the artillery was gradually weakening.

Gradually, it stopped.

What does that mean?

Could it be that the Qing Demon has already landed on the wall?

Because once you start to climb the city wall, you are afraid that you will accidentally injure your allies, and the artillery will stop.

Suddenly, Qin Rigang's heart became more urgent, and he was even more stingy with horsepower, galloping wildly.

However......

When he desperately led the cavalry to the outside of Zhenjiang City, he couldn't help but be stunned.

What about the Qing Demon Army?

What about the new army of Su Yu?

What about Tomina's workhorse?

How did it disappear without a trace?

Only on the ground, dense footprints, horseshoe prints, wheel prints.

Qin Rigang rushed into Zhenjiang City and asked, "What about the Qing Demon Army?" Why is it gone? ”

The Zhenjiang guard said: "No, I don't know. Suddenly, the army withdrew, probably knowing that King Yan was going to lead a large army to help, so he was scared away. ”

Qin Rigang said: "Then why don't you send a messenger to report?" ”

Just half an hour ago, a wave of messengers was sent to ask for help, urging them to die.

Now that the Qing Demon army has retreated, you didn't send a messenger to inform me, causing me to run desperately for dozens of miles.

The Zhenjiang guard said: "The last general is afraid that this is a deception by the Qing demons, and he is not sure if they have really withdrawn, you didn't see the siege just now, and he is crazy." The artillery was very accurate, and the foreign guns were also accurate, and I don't know how many of our brothers were killed. ”

Qin Rigang said: "Where did you run?" ”

The Zhenjiang guard said: "I ran away from the east." ”

Running east?

Is it the Jiuhua Mountain camp in Gilhanga, or Danyang City?

Su Yu, Tomina, you are really whimsical.

Taking advantage of our fierce battle in the north, and taking advantage of the main army of the Kingdom of Heaven to attack the camp in Jiangnan, you want to come and attack Zhenjiang City.

This timing is indeed good, but you also underestimate my Heavenly Army, do you think our army is like your Qing Demon? Defeat with one blow?

Do you think we're like you demons? Death for the fraternal troops.

The Zhenjiang guard said: "King Yan is mighty, and he led a large army to help in such a short time, so he scared away the Qing demons and made them return in vain." ”

Qin Rigang breathed a sigh of relief and ordered, "Send scouts immediately to find out the traces of the Qing Demon Army and see where they are going." ”

"Yes!"

A moment later, a dozen scout cavalry galloped out.

Until this time, the Taiping army did not feel that Yangzhou City was in danger.

Because of the more than 20,000 Qing demon troops, it is almost impossible to hide their traces now.

Sure enough, more than half an hour later.

The scout came to report that he had found the traces of the main army of the Qing army and was heading towards the camp of Jiuhua Mountain.

This group of Qing demons, the thief's heart is not dead, and he still wants to fight Zhenjiang.

At the beginning, the governor of Jiangsu, Gil Hang'a, led 10,000 troops, repeatedly attacked Zhenjiang, but each time he did not defeat it, and retreated to the camp of Jiuhua Mountain.

It's just that now that the Jiuhua Mountain camp has an army of twenty or thirty thousand Qing demons, Zhenjiang is still very dangerous.

The heavenly reinforcements on the other side of Guazhou still have to come as soon as possible and settle in Zhenjiang.

During this time, they have to find a way to hold Zhenjiang, and even if necessary, they have to take the initiative to attack the camp of Jiuhua Mountain and eliminate the main force of the Qing Demon in one fell swoop.

……………………………………………………

The situation went much smoother than expected.

Because no one thought that Su Yu would be crazy enough to attack Yangzhou with 1,500 people.

However, this time he still could not bring artillery.

The artillery was transported too slowly.

Let Qin Rigang lead the cavalry from Guazhou to support Zhenjiang.

The main force of Tuo Ming'a withdrew from the Jiuhua Mountain camp first.

Before leaving, Tomina held Su Yu's hand and said: "Brother can only help you get here, and then is your real challenge, brother, I really hope that you can succeed and make another miracle!" ”

Then, Su Yu led a 1,500 new army and began to run wildly.

This time, it will surpass all the previous hurried marches.

It's really a race against time.

First use the fastest speed to come to the edge of the Yangtze River, board the boat at the fastest speed, and cross the river to the north!

Moreover, it is necessary to land in the most remote places.

After landing, it was completely dark.

You can't light the torches, you can only discredit the road, and you can't make a loud noise.

Because in the whole area, there are still many patrols of the Taiping Army.

This landing site is about 60 miles away from Yangzhou City.

Fifteen hundred new troops, with guns on their backs and ammunition on their backs, ran wildly.

It's all a battle of real wills.

Because before, they had just gone south from the fairy temple camp, crossed the Yangtze River, rushed to Zhenjiang, and attacked Zhenjiang.

After that, he went north non-stop and crossed the Yangtze River again.

It's a pity.

The wonderful picture of the imagination did not happen.

There is no wonder of crossing the Chishui four times.

There was no picture of tens of thousands of Taiping troops encircling and intercepting the new army.

There is no time difference and space difference in precision micro-manipulation.

Because, until now, the other party has not found them.

But...... That's just right.

There were no telephones, telegraphs, and no airplanes in this era.

The ghost knew that Su Yao was bold, and with only 1,500 people, he dared to attack Yangzhou City.

……………………………………………………

And at this time within the new city.

Boyan Nemohu fell into a deep humiliation.

Deeply doubtful about life.

How can you lose?

How did you lose?

That group of Taiping cavalry is the real mud legs.

At this time, the officers of the cavalry battalion of the Taiping Army below were also depressed.

This defeat is really a great shame.

At this time, there were 4,000 Taiping troops outside the new city, and it was impossible to completely surround it, so it was nailed there.

The other 4,000 Taiping troops were nailed to Liuhe.

This meaning is obvious, after King Yan defeated the Qing demon army on the side of Zhenjiang City, he returned to the north and captured Liuhe and Xincheng in one fell swoop.

"Taiji, don't worry, now your credit is still greater than Su Yao's." Deputy Xiao Cavalry said: "After all, Liuhe and Xincheng are still fought by you." ”

yes, but it's going to be lost soon.

"Now that we alone, we will definitely not be able to defend Liuhe and Xincheng, why don't we ask for help from the camp in Shao Bozhen, and let Dexing'a and Weng Tongshu lead some soldiers and horses over to help defend the city?"

Boyan was silent and nodded.

At this time, the credit can only be divided.

Then, a few horses rushed out of the new city and headed in the direction of the camp in Shao Bo Town.

The Taiping army saw it, but it was impossible for 4,000 people to completely besiege the city, so they could only let these cavalry rush out, and sent people to pursue for a while, but found that they could not catch up.

Because the horses of the cavalry battalion are too good, and the speed is too fast.

………………………………………………

It's bright!

The Taiping defenders of Yangzhou City were sleepy-eyed.

They don't like the city, a typical demon-type city, and their arrival is very unwelcome.

To some extent, this is also the reason why it is difficult for the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom to succeed.

The so-called worship of God is too far apart from Chinese tradition, and there are too many enemies.

In particular, cities like Yangzhou, which had been run by wealthy salt merchants for hundreds of years, were naturally hostile to the Taiping army.

In the morning light.

The defenders of the Taiping Army suddenly discovered that a figure appeared in the west of the city.

Suddenly, I couldn't help but rub my eyes.

This, what is this?

It took them a long time before they realized that there were enemy troops.

After a whole night's trek, Su Liu's new army finally came to the outside of Yangzhou.

It wasn't that he didn't want to pretend to be a Taiping army to cheat the city, but later found out that it was almost impossible, and he didn't catch the high-ranking generals of the Taiping army.

"Enemy attack!"

"Enemy attack!"

The Taiping defenders in Yangzhou City immediately let out a sharp shout.

Immediately after, a screeching metal sound was heard.

The defenders of the Taiping Army in their sleep were awakened one after another.

"Assemble, assemble!"

"Defend the city, defend the city!"

The real hard battle began.

This is a real siege battle.

The artillery still hasn't arrived.

Su Yu appeared to calm down, and his fifteen hundred new troops, including the lightly wounded, began to assemble in formation.

This time the siege was carried out without any bells and whistles.

What kind of excavation tunnels, none of them exist.

It's quite simple, it's a line array, keep shooting, keep shooting.

Constantly sent people to rush under the city gates, trying to find a way to blow up the city gates with explosives packs.

If it doesn't work once, it's twice, three, four times!

"Forward!"

With an order.

Fifteen hundred new troops, several rows of troops, marched in orderly steps and advanced towards Yangzhou City.

The Taiping army in the city was stunned.

And such a siege?

There are no siege engines, no two siege ladders.

And it's so neatly arranged, do you sing?

Even, the beating of the snare drum feels like singing.

Although we only have more than 2,000 defenders, we have a strong city in hand, and you only have more than 1,000 people, how can you attack the city?

Don't you know that it takes at least two or three times as many troops to siege a city?

The new army is getting closer and closer to the city of Yangzhou.

When there are still 300 meters to go.

The artillery on the walls of the city opened fire, and there were not many of them.

The harsh test came again, staring at the artillery fire forward.

The formation does not disperse.

This time, it's much better than the last one.

Perhaps, with a certain amount of experience.

This time, the army was to knock down within thirty meters of the city walls.

Because in this way, the forts in the city are almost useless, because the distance is too close.

That's it!

More than a thousand new troops, staring at the artillery fire in the city, were not in a chaotic formation, and ran forward.

"Boom Boom Boom Boom ......"

The last shotgun exploded.

The soldiers of the New Army fell in pieces.

"Don't mess around, don't look!"

"Keep running forward, run forward!"

Then, the muskets of the Taiping army on the city wall opened fire, and bows and arrows fired in volleys.

More than 1,000 new troops are still buried in their heads and continue to charge.

Come to the bottom of the city walls, a distance of fifty meters, and start from here to test the best shooting distance.

Regroup in formation.

Raise your gun, aim, fire!

"Bang bang bang!"

As soon as the first team finished shooting, they crouched down and loaded their ammunition.

The second team fired in order.

Then, the third team, the fourth team!

Tonal ......

Amazing results appeared.

At a distance of 50 meters, the Minne-style rifles of the New Army were powerful, and the accurate marksmanship that the New Army had been feeding with bullets for a long time was powerful.

The Taiping defenders on the city wall fell in pieces.

And the firepower of their Taiping army is also very fierce. Muskets, bows and arrows in volleys.

But at this distance, the muskets and bows of the Taiping army are still too weak.

It will be very different in a few years, because by that time, the Taiping army will also be equipped with foreign guns and cannons on a large scale.

Stop!

Su Liu's new army directly beat the Taiping defenders on the head of the city to the point that they could not rise.

And at this moment, they finally knew the fierceness of Su Yu's new army.

In the face of the rain of bullets and arrows, the formation is not chaotic and neat, that is, it is constantly aiming and shooting, aiming and shooting.

Sure enough, fighting is the best teacher.

This time, the new army no longer needs the prestige of the officers, and they themselves know that running and fleeing will cause greater casualties.

Watching the brothers next to him fall one by one, although they will still be afraid.

But it's just fear.

Because, the casualties are not yet a certain level.

Line tactics are in Europe, although they have gradually been phased out by column tactics.

But at least at this moment, it is still very useful, no wonder it will dominate the battlefield for hundreds of years.

The Taiping army on the city wall was directly defeated.

Then, the new army of Su dragged forward continuously.

The army was massively assembled under the city gate, and the large-scale fire covered, so that the army on the city could not rise at all.

Then, the death squad set off.

Rushing to the city gate with a large amount of explosives.

To blow up the city gates, the amount of explosives needed is amazing, not to say one or two explosive packs.

Rather, it takes a few thousand catties.

Dozens of death squads, rushing forward in the shortest possible time.

In a short period of time, more than two or three thousand catties of explosives were piled up under the city gate.

The defenders above the city soon discovered that Su Yu was going to blow up the city gate, and immediately shouted: "Hurry, hurry, stop them." ”

Suddenly, the Taiping army at the head of the city frantically threw stones down, pouring oil.

Death squad soldiers, there were casualties.

The probability of being hit by a stone is not large, but the probability of being drenched in boiling oil is too great.

Moments later!

"Boom ......"

There was a loud bang!

Two or three thousand pounds of explosives, violently exploded.

The Taiping army at the head of the city was almost shocked and flew up.

But......

The gates, which were so strong, did not fall.

It was just blown up and crumbling.

Then, the death squads of the new army began to carry out the second round of charge.

Dozens of people, carrying dozens of pounds of explosives, charged frantically and placed the explosives bags under the city gates.

It's just like the tactics that Su Yu had arranged before.

If you can't blow it up once, you can blow it up twice, three times, four times.

As long as it is in the area of the city gate, it will be enough to suppress the fire.

……………………………………………………

And at this time, within the new city!

The scouts of the cavalry battalion sent out before quickly returned.

"Boyan Taiji, Su Yu's new army is here and is attacking Yangzhou City!"

Boyan Nemohu exclaimed, "Is he crazy? More than 1,000 people went to attack Yangzhou City? ”

"The humble post can see clearly, he is already about to succeed, he is constantly bombing the city gates, the firepower of his new army is very fierce, and the position he chooses is very tricky, and the rebellious battery cannot be hit."

"His new army is very fierce, and he shoots at the rebel under the city gate, and there are many rebels, but the firepower is not the opponent of the new army at all!"

"Look at this posture, we will soon break through Yangzhou City."

Boyan was shocked!

If Su He is allowed to win Yangzhou City, then he will lose this battle for merit completely.

Is there a way to remedy it? Is there anything else?

"How many defenders are there in Yangzhou City?" Boyan asked.

"I don't know, but it's not much, it should be only a few thousand. The main force seems to have been taken away by the rebel bandits. “

Boyan asked, "Which city gate is Su Yu attacking?" ”

"The Eastern Gate!"

Boyan said: "Then the south gate, the west gate, can there be a rebellion against the defenders?" ”

"There are not a few people, it is almost empty, the rebel defenders are seriously insufficient, the firepower of the new army is too fierce, and the defenders of the Taiping army are all heading towards the east gate."

Boyan's blood was boiling, and he felt that a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity had come.

Now all the defenders of Yangzhou City have been attracted by Su Liu's new army, if he leads the cavalry battalion to directly rush over and attack the south city, or the east city, wouldn't it be easy to enter Yangzhou City and seize Yangzhou City.

At that time, all Su Yao's efforts will be made for my Boyan's wedding dress.

You are desperately attacking the city, and I will not get it for nothing.

At that time, the great merit of seizing Yangzhou City will belong to me.

Boyan said: "At this time, the east and west of Yangzhou are completely empty, and it is easy to attack them. Just in time for a while, would you like to go with me? ”

Everyone was ready to move, but they hesitated.

"Don't miss the opportunity and don't come again, the new city is too small, Yangzhou City is strong, after entering Yangzhou City, Su Yu's new army enters the city, he still needs to help us defend the city, Yangzhou City is safer than the new city."

"Two hundred taels per person!" Boyan Namo Hu shouted loudly.

A moment later!

More than 1,000 cavalry cavalry battalions galloped out of the new city frantically and rushed madly towards the west gate of Yangzhou City.

This person really has a huge advantage.

Once we find an opportunity for speculation, we will resolutely not let it go and immediately attack quickly.

relied on this to win the new city and Liuhe before.

Now he has to rely on this to take Yangzhou City.

The 4,000 Taiping troops who were originally staring outside the new city couldn't help but be stunned when they saw this scene, and then fiercely caught up.

It's just that they run on two legs, and Boyan Nemohu is a cavalryman, and it is difficult for them to catch up.

"Quick, quick, quick!"

Boyan led a thousand cavalry and galloped wildly.

Be sure to enter Yangzhou before Su Yu breaks the city.

Entering Yangzhou first is the first achievement.

The new city is very close to Yangzhou.

It didn't take long for Yangzhou City to be in sight.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom ......" was still fierce fighting at this time, and the sound of dense gunfire and explosives explosions could be heard clearly.

Rush, rush, rush!

Su Yu, you are really a hard worker.

I have to make a wedding dress for my boyan every time, hahahahaha.

Boyan's cavalry, from the east gate of Yangzhou, is getting closer and closer.

Sure enough, there were almost no people defending the city.

God help me!

Hahahaha!

Boyan was about to give the order to cut the sling of the suspension bridge of the moat.

Then use the hook claw to climb the wall and open the door.

However...... At this time.

The city gate on the west side of Yangzhou City suddenly opened.

"Bang!"

Huge suspension bridge, which fell on its own.

Hey? So proactive?

Immediately afterwards, more than a thousand Taiping troops rushed out directly from inside the city gate.

They looked at the cavalry who had dismounted and were looking at each other.

Who are you? What are you here to do?

The more than 1,000 Taiping troops saw that Su Yu was about to break through the East City Gate, and the marksmanship was too fierce, and he would definitely be defeated, so he took the initiative to withdraw from the West Gate.

Unexpectedly, I bumped into the army of Boyan to speculate here.

After a moment's pause, and then without saying a word, the more than 1,000 Taiping troops brandished their weapons and rushed towards Boyan to kill.

Meanwhile!

"Boom!"

There was a loud bang!

The third round of detonation!

The east gate of Yangzhou City was completely blown down.

The new army of Su dragged and poured into Yangzhou City.

At this point, Yangzhou City is broken!
