On the high platform, Shi Dakai's handsome flag stood tall.

This platform was also built very skillfully, and the angle of the slope was very effective in resisting shelling.

Moreover, it is also outside the range of precision strikes of artillery.

He also had a cigarette in his mouth, and it was also a picture of Toyama Chunju, although he had no cultural background and didn't know Huang Gongwang.

But now the entire Tianjing City recognizes this cigarette.

It is also a special offering for Su Yu, and in the entire Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, only fifteen people can want to enjoy it.

What made Shi Dakai angry was that his quota could only rank sixth in the kingdom of heaven.

It's just too deceitful.

The first five people are, Hong Xiuquan, Hong Renfa, Hong Renda, Lin Qirong, and Lin Shaozhang.

What do you mean?

My Wing King should have been ranked second, under one person, above ten thousand, you dare to rank me sixth?

What he didn't know was that he would soon be ranked seventh, because Hong Renji had already returned to Tianjing.

Therefore, Shi Dakai secretly swore that he would definitely capture Jiujiang in the future, and when the time came, there would be as many good things as there were.

And this time, the tactics he adopted were also simple and straightforward.

Directly divide the troops into two ways.

Part of the attack, the city of Suzhou.

Part of the new army camp attacked Suyu.

Siege tactics are also the same old routine.

On the surface, he used the tactics of a sea of people to frantically attack the city wall.

Secretly, digging tunnels under the city wall and detonating the city wall with explosives is really tried and tested, even in Guangxi, in that kind of geological environment, it has to be used.

Guangxi is a typical karst landform, the rock layer under the ground is very hard, and it is difficult to excavate tunnels.

Su Yu has won many battles and created many miracles.

However, Shi Dakai didn't pay much attention to it.

Su Yu commanded the most soldiers from beginning to end, only a few thousand. And he is Shi Dakai, commanding hundreds of thousands of people everywhere.

In terms of the scale and number of battles, Su Yu was a child in front of him Shi Dakai.

Of course, he also has reason to be proud.

Before leaving, Shi Dakai was indeed possessed by the god of war, and the winning rate of large-scale battles was surprisingly high.

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

The artillery of the Taiping army bombarded indiscriminately.

At this time, the artillery in Shi Dakai's hand was much more than that of Su Yu and Xu Youren combined.

Moreover, there are various models.

Bought from foreigners, captured from the Qing army, and self-cast artillery.

At this time, the Taiping army, the proportion of firearms may not have reached the peak, and in another two years, many weapons in the hands of the Taiping army are more advanced, even more than the Hunan army, and a large number of arms are purchased from foreigners every year.

Moreover, every time you attack a place, you must first control the artillery bureau and the pharmaceutical bureau there.

Hundreds of artillery pieces, firing together.

For a while, it really suppressed the momentum of Su Yu and Xu Youren.

Under this kind of wanton and indiscriminate bombardment, there was almost no reaction and no counterattack on Su Yu's camps and positions.

Just wait quietly for this wave of bombing to end.

And some observers, desperate, began to record the location of the artillery positions of the Taiping army.

Specify the position of each gun and draw it immediately.

Straight-line distances, angles, and more.

This is a very dangerous location because it needs to be in high places.

After a frenzied round of shelling!

Su Yao's position, and even the city wall of Suzhou, looked like a mess.

Shi Dakai was more satisfied, this round of shelling formed an overwhelming momentum.

The Taiping army began a group charge.

The whole ground began to tremble, sweeping over like a tide of darkness.

And this time!

The artillery on the Su Troll's position began to wield.

This is different from the indiscriminate bombardment of the Taiping army.

It was a precision kill.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

And it was a few guns, which carried out a saturation attack on a certain artillery position of the Taiping Army.

"Whoosh Whoosh ......"

One shell after another fell.

After the explosion.

The artillery positions of the Taiping army were directly overturned.

Suddenly, the Taiping army was shocked.

What the heck?

Hit so accurately?

Caught off guard, more than a dozen of the Taiping army's artillery pieces were directly eliminated.

"Transfer, transfer, transfer!"

At the sound of an order, the artillery positions of the Taiping army began to shift.

However, most of their artillery is bulky, especially the guns they cast, which are not small, but they are too large to be transferred.

And the artillery on Su Lu's side continued to kill accurately.

Suddenly, Su Yao only used less than a quarter of the artillery to suppress the artillery of the Taiping army.

However, after this round of shelling.

Su To's artillery also revealed its position.

On the Taiping side, they also began to depict Su Yu's artillery positions, but their professionalism was much worse.

An accurate map cannot be drawn, it is just a rough idea.

In such and such a direction, approximate how far and so on.

By the time it was almost calculated, a long time had passed.

Then, they also covered the artillery positions of Su Trolling.

But...... At this time, Su Yu's artillery had already been transferred.

His artillery was all fast artillery, and as soon as a few people pushed it, they went straight away.

And the Taiping army finally managed to transfer the artillery position with great difficulty, and this firing was exposed again.

Then, the artillery on Su Yao's side was another round of accurate point killing.

The artillery positions of the Taiping army suffered huge losses again.

Shi Dakai was about to explode, he had never fought like this, and his artillery several times was completely pressed and beaten.

The indiscriminate bombardment just now seemed to be extremely powerful, but in fact there were few results.

Because the fortifications on the side of the Su Yu army are too complete.

The army was in bunkers, in the trenches, unless it was very unlucky and was hit directly by shells.

I can only say, my lord, times have changed.

The artillery of the Tianjin New Army is so brave, not to mention the artillery of Su Xuan.

However, the discomfort of the Taiping army was only the beginning.

Their best tactic is to charge in a sea of people.

With three times the number of troops, charge Su Yao's position.

Just those nets?

There's a fart.

Can you stop us?

However, when the rush arrived.

The Taiping Army found that these nets were a nightmare.

Dense, countless, I don't know how many layers there are.

Climb and can't climb over.

You can't drill through it.

It's also hard to chop.

Even if you cut one, it's useless, because you don't know how many are entangled.

At this time, Su Yao's advanced foreign guns began to exert their might.

Stand inside the trench and shoot wildly.

At this moment, it was simply a one-sided slaughter.

This battle is really much better than the battle of the Fairy Temple in Jiangbei two years ago.

Facing three times as many enemies, it still has an overwhelming advantage.

"Burn!"

"Burn!"

The Taiping generals immediately ordered the iron thorns and giant rattan nets to be set on fire.

But how can you burn it if you don't have enough tung oil?

Burning directly with a torch, and not burning at all, these things are soaked in water.

In this way, the fierce battle lasted for half an hour.

These iron nets in front of the Su Yong position were full of blood and corpses.

The Taiping army could not rush into Su Yu's camp at all.

I don't know how many lives I have to pay, but I can't get by.

In the end, it was fed back to Shi Dakai's side.

"Waste, waste, how many nets are there to stop you? The walls can't stop you, but how many nets are there? ”

"Bomb with artillery, blow up with artillery!"

Next, the Taiping army realized that it was an afterthought and bombarded these iron nets indiscriminately.

There are some effects, but not too much.

Because these nets are elastic, unless the pillars that bind the nets are blown up, these shock waves will be dispersed and will not be lethal.

If there is enough artillery, plow the entire position, then it is okay.

But now the Taiping Army, the number of artillery is running out.

Moreover, Su Yao's artillery fired for a while, so he changed places and continued to kill the Taiping army.

The precious artillery of the Taiping army became less and less fought.

Shi Dakai was almost angry, and he had never fought such a battle.

Since the beginning of his war, the artillery unit has not suffered such losses.

"Yiwang, we will focus on attacking Suzhou City, and when the city is broken and we occupy Suzhou Jiancheng, Su Luo's army will be useless."

Then, the Taiping army immediately changed tactics.

Su Yu is so difficult to fight here, so he won't fight first.

Just send an army to contain it, and use more troops to attack Suzhou City.

Suddenly, Xu Youren in Suzhou City increased the pressure.

Countless Taiping troops, the tide rushed up.

Again and again, rushing to the city walls.

Even the entire city wall is like ants on a tree, densely packed with siege ladders, all of which are Taiping troops.

Su Yu's artillery immediately turned around and bombarded the Taiping army attacking Suzhou.

But at this time, the lethality of artillery against an enemy of this size is very limited.

There are just too many enemies.

With an order, Su Yu's new army moved forward.

Along the trenches, all the way forward.

Shoot the Taiping army besieging the city.

But the effect was still limited, the Taiping army attacked the city on three sides, and Su Yu could only support one side at most.

He wanted to set up camps on both sides of Suzhou City, but the conditions on the other side did not allow it at all.

Therefore, the next thing to look at is the Qing army in the city.

Xu Youren, Zhang Guoliang, Feng Zicai, you should work hard.

…………………………………………………………

Seeing this, Xu Youren at the head of the city immediately understood everything.

The Taiping army felt that Su Yao's side was difficult to gnaw, so they didn't gnaw and focused on attacking the city.

If you have the ability, you Su Liu's new army will give up the camp and give up the defense line to fight with us.

But at this time, the Su Yu army will definitely not leave the position.

At this time, the number of Taiping troops was still too much, and once they left the camp, they might really be consumed by these countless Taiping troops, which would be a tragedy.

Next, the Qing army in Suzhou City must eliminate enough Taiping troops to reduce the Taiping army to a certain number, and Su Yu will kill from the position.

Xu Youren yelled: "If you want to be saved, you must first save yourself." ”

"Reinforcements are on the side, we can see them."

"As long as we hold on long enough, as long as we kill a certain number of enemies, Lord Su Yu's new army will rush out and fight with us inside and outside, eliminating the rebellion."

"Remember, the moment Lord Su Yu's new army comes out, we will win!"

"Before that, not only how many people died, no matter how much it cost, I would hold on!"

"Xu Zhenyi, you give it to me, you give it to me too!"

Xu Zhenyi, the son of Xu Youren, is a scholar.

At this time, when he heard his father's voice, he also picked up a knife and rushed to the top of the city.

"Zhang Guoliang, Feng Zicai, you all give me a top, you are dead, the official will go up in person!"

Zhang Guoliang, the governor of Jiangnan, and Feng Zicai, the chief soldier, personally led the army and rushed to the front line.

In a flash!

Kill the sky in the dark.

Su Yu was in the camp, and he was also thrilling.

The combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the Jiangnan battalion is not as good as that of the Taiping Army on the whole, but those who have survived the fierce battles along the way can be regarded as elite.

At this point, it was already a desperate situation.

Not to mention a few main generals, who take the lead.

Therefore, they also fought bravely to kill the enemy.

It can be said that if there were no Su Lu reinforcements on the side, it may be that the defenders of Suzhou could no longer support it at this time.

That's it, from dawn to dark!

The Taiping army did not know how many times they rushed to the head of the Taiping army, and the defenders of Suzhou did not know how many times and pushed the Taiping army down.

After dark!

Mingjin withdraws his troops.

The entire city wall was densely packed with corpses.

All of a sudden, it was impossible to estimate the casualties.

However, Xu Youren estimated that the defenders in the city suffered more than 10,000 casualties.

On the Taiping side, Shi Dakai estimated that there were more than 20,000 casualties.

So the fierceness of the battle today can be imagined.

What pained him the most was that the artillery he brought had lost more than half of it.

And the casualties on Su Yao's side were minimal.

But Shi Dakai on the battlefield is still extremely resolute.

In the face of this loss, there is no intention of backing down.

At this time, the night is a good time to dig the tunnel.

Thousands of sappers of the Taiping army, while digging tunnels, wanted to dig directly under the city walls, and then blow up the city walls.

The ground here is soft and easy to dig.

However, there is too much groundwater, dig a place, and soon it will be all water.

While digging, you have to drain water at the same time.

Moreover, it collapses at every turn.

At the same time, nineteen tunnels were dug, and most of them have collapsed, and I don't know how many Taiping soldiers were buried.

"Keep digging for me, keep digging!"

"Before noon tomorrow, if you don't dig under the city wall, all those who dig tunnels will be beheaded!"

With Shi Dakai's order, these people digging tunnels dug even more frantically.

Soon, another tunnel collapsed, burying the soldiers inside.

………………………………………………

At this time, a messenger risked his life and came to Su Yu's camp from the north, and he was Wang Youling's staff.

"Dashuai, my family has sent more than a dozen waves of people to ask you something."

"Chen Yucheng formed an army of 50,000 and surrounded Yangzhou City, and at this time Yangzhou garrisoned more than 20,000 troops, including nearly 3,000 Tianjin New Army of Rong Lu." The envoy said: "My lord can send 5,000 reinforcements, do you want to send them?" ”

Wang Youling came over and asked, do you want to save Yangzhou?

According to the emotion, it must not be saved, so that Chen Yucheng broke through Yangzhou, destroyed Tuo Ming'a's Jiangbei camp, and destroyed Ronglu's Tianjin New Army.

However, according to Su Yu's interests, this cannot be done.

Now he must work hard to elevate the honor and combat effectiveness of the new army of Ronglu.

In this way, the emperor has enough confidence to break the contract with the foreigners, and he has enough confidence to start another war with the foreigners.

Otherwise, if the emperor joins forces with foreigners to deal with Su Yu next, it will be troublesome.

If the emperor closes his eyes and recognizes all the contents of the Tianjin Treaty, he will not break the treaty.

That...... Su Yu is in big trouble.

All the plans, all in vain.

In order to drive the emperor to a dead end, it is necessary to inflate him.

Therefore, Ronglu's new army cannot be destroyed, and he must be allowed to win.

Su Yu said: "Immediately tell your lord that he not only wants to support Yangzhou, but also comes out of the nest, and immediately sends someone to inform the Shengbao army, don't care about Luzhou, come to support Yangzhou first, attack Chen Yucheng's army, and hand over Luzhou to Li Xubin and Li Hongzhang to fight." ”

"You must defeat Chen Yucheng in Yangzhou in a short period of time, and then give all the credit to Rong Lu."

The messenger said, "Yes, I will tell my master at once." But I'm afraid that I won't be able to return to Huai'an alive, so I ask you to send a few waves of messengers to pass your message to my family. ”

Next, the messenger devoured it and immediately rushed north to Huai'an.

And Su Yu also sent several groups of envoys to the north.

Although the battle of Suzhou is not over yet, the plan to oust the emperor is about to begin.

Of course, the most important thing now is the battle of Suzhou.

………………………………………………

The next day, it's dawn!

The earth-shattering war drums sounded again.

Shi Dakai still continued yesterday's strategy, focusing on attacking Suzhou City, and sending part of his troops to contain Su Yao's army.

After a night's rest, the Taiping army attacked the city even more frantically.

Wave after wave.

Almost half an hour after the siege, a large number of people had already rushed to the city wall.

Moreover, a qualitative change soon took place.

The defenders on the city wall have made it difficult to completely push the Taiping army off the city wall.

And the Taiping army below kept pouring up.

The entire city wall was turned into a battlefield.

At this time, the defenders of Suzhou had to face four times or even five times as many enemies.

"My lord, childe...... Dead in battle! Suddenly, the hand came down to report.

Xu Youren's body shook for a while, and his eyes couldn't help but go dark.

"If you die in battle, you will die in battle, and if others die, will he not die?" Xu Youren roared angrily: "What else are you going to report?" ”

"My lord, the defense line of the western wall has been breached!" There is bad news again.

Xu Youren roared: "Go to the reserves, go to the reserves!" ”

The people around him whispered: "My lord, there are no reserves, all of them are on." ”

Xu Youren trembled and said, "Is there no reserve?" That...... Then we will be the last reserves. ”

He drew his sword and shouted, "Follow me!" ”

Then, the governor of Jiangsu, with his guards, rushed towards the gap in the defensive line of the front wall.

And at this very time!

Underground, the sound of tears of joy was heard.

"Dig through, dig through ......"

These sappers of the Taiping Army worked tirelessly digging tunnels.

Sixteen of the nineteen tunnels have collapsed.

The order of the winged king Shi Dakai, if before twelve o'clock at noon, did not dig under the city wall.

All of them, all of them decapitated.

The military order is like a mountain, and if you say beheading, you will definitely be beheaded.

Finally, half an hour before the deadline, the tunnel was dug through.

Then, a large amount of gunpowder was transported along the tunnel.

Tens of thousands of pounds of gunpowder.

Then, dozens of leads were used.

As long as one is successful, it can be detonated.

Ignite the lead.

The sappers scrambled to the outside of the tunnels.

And at this time!

Xu Youren was desperately slashing with a knife.

He was a man of letters, a mathematician, not very good at martial arts, and only slashing.

In the field of vision, it is already all red, and I don't know whose blood it is.

Zhang Guoliang, Feng Zicai and others were also covered in blood and scars.

On the city walls, the Taiping army almost outnumbered the defenders of Suzhou.

Under the city walls, the Taiping army still climbed up through the siege ladder.

At this time, there is no despair.

Only Mu Ran killed it mechanically.

Many people looked at Su Yao's camp.

Su Yao's military strength was almost undamaged, but it was still motionless at this time.

Because it is not yet time, the number of Taiping troops is still too much.

And at this very time.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

There was an earth-shattering explosion.

The whole ground trembled.

Many people in the vicinity were directly shocked and flew out.

A section of the stone strip on the city wall seems to have been violently lifted and torn apart by a giant!

Tens of thousands of catties of gunpowder under the tunnel were detonated.

The city wall of Suzhou was blown open a huge gap.

At this time, Xu Youren, the governor of Jiangsu, Zhang Guoliang and Feng Zicai of the Jiangnan camp, and other main generals were really desperate.

The walls were broken.

That Su Yu will not come to the rescue.

There are too many Taiping troops, and if they come to rescue them at this time, I am afraid that they will bury themselves inside.

According to Su Yu's plan, there are still so many Taiping troops left, and Su Yu should not fight.

There are really too many Taiping troops left.

The combat effectiveness of the defenders of Suzhou was still not good, but they did their best.

Do you want to leave the camp? Do you want to abandon the defense line and fight out?

Do you want to give it a hand?

He dragged the new army, and he had never faced the enemy several times as many times as before, and conducted a field battle.

It's really dangerous, and it's likely to bury yourself.

However, after the fall of Suzhou.

Xu Youren died in battle, does his plan also mean that it is in vain.

There is no moment in life when everything is full of certainty, and the critical moment is to fight with your life.

Su Yu took a deep breath and shouted, "Attack!" ”

With Su Yu's order, the horn of the charge sounded.

Eight thousand people of the new army of Su dragged out of the nest along the exit to the north.

Kill in the back of the Taiping army.

At this time, Xu Youren, Zhang Guoliang, and Feng Zicai on the city wall burst into tears.

The whole body is full of blood.

"Lord Su Yu is dispatched, dispatched!"

"Kill, kill, kill!"

The defenders on the city wall were inspired, and their morale was immediately like a rainbow.

Su dragged the new army.

After rushing out of the defense line of the camp, Shi Dakai was overjoyed.

Su Yu, you finally came out of that turtle shell.

You're killing yourself.

Without the protection of the defensive line, I see how you can beat me?

With Shi Dakai's order, more than two or three times the enemy, rushed towards Su Yu's 8,000 new army.

Suddenly, the pressure on the defenders of Suzhou was greatly reduced.

Su Yu gritted his teeth, the real hard battle is coming, the real hard battle is coming.

"Queue, queue, queue!"

"Steady, don't move!"

Eight thousand new troops, the fastest formation.

Neatly arranged.

There were no fortifications.

Two or three times the tide of the Taiping army rushed in.

"Fire!"

"Fire!"

With an order.

The new army of Su Yu opened fire intensively.

The real line shooting, line line tactics, appeared for the first time on the Chinese battlefield.

It's a contest of iron will.

Motionless.

It's just constant firing.

"Bang ......"

A gorgeous scene.

A heroic scene.

The Soviet marching army phalanx, strong as a mountain, opened fire in four and five sections.

And the Taiping army, fearless of death, charged frantically, and kept firing.

At this time, the Taiping army was half firearms and half cold weapons.

They don't line up to shoot tactics, they just shoot instinctively.

That's it, keep rushing, keep rushing.

Dead all the time, dead all the time.

Everyone watched this scene with horror.

Including Su Yu, it was difficult to hide the shock in his heart.

It turned out that after the number of troops increased, the tactic of lining up to shoot was really useful.

Every time Su Yu used the queue shooting tactic before, the effect was not very good, which made him suspicious.

And at this point, the effect is amazingly good.

After the intensity of firepower reached a certain level, a qualitative change occurred.

The Taiping Army, who were not afraid of death, fell piece by piece.

On the side of Su Yu's new army, they also fell in pieces.

However, the casualty ratio between the two sides is very large.

Su Liu's new army formation was even more difficult to break through than the city wall.

The Taiping army rushed to the walls of Suzhou again and again, but ...... It was impossible to get close to Su Yu's new army.

And the artillery of the Taiping Army, because it was blocked by Suzhou City, had a tricky angle, and it could not defeat Su Yu's new army.

On the contrary, Su To's artillery began to fire fiercely.

Everyone watched in amazement, countless Taiping troops charged, but ...... It never approached within ten meters of the new military formation.

On the ground, dense corpses were piled up.

This became a contest of absolute will.

Su Yu's new army has never moved.

No matter how many people fall, they will not move, and they will not move like a mountain.

The Taiping Army's frantic charge, but it was like a stormy case, shattered again and again.

Countless splashes of blood.

In this almost frantic confrontation.

Finally......

The morale of the Taiping army collapsed and collapsed!

Even if they are brave and no longer afraid of death, in the face of such a demonic battle situation, they will completely collapse.

As a result, the Taiping army began to retreat on a large scale.

Shi Da Kaiming Jin withdrew his troops.

Full retreat.

The Great War ended.

The result of this battle was really completely different from what Su Yu imagined.

…………………………………………

At the same time, the Yangzhou battlefield.

It was almost as tragic as the Suzhou battlefield.

The combat effectiveness of the Jiangbei battalion is not as good as that of Zhang Guoliang.

But, a little better.

Shi Dakai had an army of 80,000, but Chen Yucheng only had 50,000.

And the Yangzhou garrison has more than 20,000.

The new army of Ronglu is very strong, but it is not as strong as Su Yu's new army.

However, Yangzhou won more artillery, and the new army of Ronglu also had the advantage of defending the city.

But even then, there are dangers.

After three days of fierce fighting!

Rong Lu's will is also close to collapse.

He had already decided to break through and abandon the defense of the city.

Because he knows that he can't keep it.

Chen Yucheng is too fierce.

However, just when he decided to give up the breakout, Wang Youling took 7,000 people and poured out of the nest to support.

The battlefield has been reversed.

Rong Lu decided to stay and fight again.

But Chen Yucheng was too powerful, only two days later.

The balance of victory is completely tilted in favor of Chen Yucheng.

Of the more than 7,000 people brought by Wang Youling, more than half of them were killed or wounded.

The defenders in the city also suffered most of the casualties.

Rong Lu once again decided to withdraw his troops, and the precious new army could not be sacrificed here.

But it was at this time that Katsuho entered the battlefield with an army of 40,000.

The fierce Chen Yucheng is still unwilling to give up.

There were more than 30,000 troops left, divided into two parts.

Part of the siege, part of the siege.

Two more days of fierce fighting!

There were countless casualties on both sides, and Chen Yucheng couldn't bear this amazing casualty.

Moreover, Yangzhou is also rich in water systems, and Chen Yucheng's luck is not as good as Shi Dakai.

The dozen or so tunnels he sent people to dig collapsed.

He knew that he couldn't take Yangzhou.

So, angrily retreated.

At this point, the battle of Yangzhou is over!

……………………………………

Note: When I wrote it, I found that I couldn't finish the Battle of Suzhou in half a chapter, so I desperately compressed the Battle of Yangzhou, and I still finished the plot within one chapter.

Gentlemen, remember to give me the monthly pass, okay? Look at your pocket, thank you, thank you.

(End of chapter)
