The Wu army's continuous artillery was not only the Qing soldiers on the city wall, but also the soldiers who were scrambling the floating bridge. During the fierce battle, the artillery shells fired by the Wu army would occasionally bounce back on the city wall, and accidentally injured these auxiliary soldiers who were opening the road for the main force. Occasionally, one or two flowering artillery shells and even bitter sour shells also lost their accuracy. They hit the pontoon bridge and accidentally injured more Wu army's auxiliary soldiers. The auxiliary soldiers who worked hard to build the bridge had to be wary of the sudden bullets from the city, and they were also afraid of being accidentally injured by the self-armed artillery shells, which was extremely distressed.

Fortunately, the Wu army's cannons were corrected when there was sufficient light, and the gunners also underwent strict training, and the accidental injury rate of the shells was not high. At the same time, Hu Huaizhao sent people to make a heavy reward, promising that as long as four floating bridges were built, the pension for injuries and casualties was doubled, so more than 200 Wu army engineers also completely sacrificed their lives. Even if they were injured by the Qing army's muskets, they refused to retreat. They insisted on carrying ropes across the river, pulled the iron rope and nailed it to the other side, laying thick wooden boards to fix it on the iron rope, and gritting their teeth to build the bridge. Finally, after paying more than 60 casualties, they successfully built the four floating bridges needed by Hu Huaizhao, opening four roads to the city of Jinan for the Wu army. At the same time, the Wu army who transported soil and filled the river only had more than half of the workload.

"Chang Liang, whether you can take Jinan depends on you! The first time you charge, you must rush into the gap and insert our military flag into the gap! If you can't do it, you can do it!"

"I can't do it, I won't come back!"

After answering confidently, Chang Liang, the general of Wu army who was appointed as the vanguard, did not hesitate at all. He immediately launched a charge with two ordinary battalions under his command, carrying the stairs that could not even be stripped of the bark, rushed to the gap in the city wall. The artillery team of Wu army also seized the time to fire desperately and tried their best to share the pressure for the self-armed commando. It was still when the Wu army commando rushed to only more than a hundred steps away from the moat that the Wu army artillery soldiers stopped the artillery attack, wiped sweat and gasped, looking at the result of the self-armed commando's charge.

The Qing army's reaction was also very fast. The Wu army had just finished the artillery attack. After the arrows on the city wall, many guns were immediately poked out. They shot desperately at the Wu army's assault team who were shouting and sly shooting specifically at the Wu army's floating bridge. Fortunately, the Qing army's rear team had not had time to go up to the city to assist in the battle. The defenders on the city had been severely injured by the Wu army in the artillery battle, and they were holding a Lizhi rifle that needed to be loaded with special pokes. The firepower was relatively sparse and the shooting frequency was not high, so they could not achieve the effect of a complete Wu army charge. The Wu army assault teams all shouted like thunder, seized this precious fighter jet and charged onto the bridge, crossed the river to the death, and successfully crossed the wide and deep moat of Jinan.

Then the real test is the real test. Although the Jinan city wall at the gap collapsed, it still has a height of five or six meters. The Wu army assault team still has to rely on the flight ladder to reach the top of the gap. But it is still fine. Unlike the Taiping Army who only knows how to use tunnels to attack cities and the Qing army, which is trembling with tunnels, the Wu army, with changeable tactics, has a lot of experience in fighting ant war. Find a good angle and skillfully put the flight ladder onto the city wall and immediately step on the stairs to attack the city. It doesn’t matter if the gap is not wide enough and you can’t set up so many flight ladders. You can directly put the flight ladder on the top of the city wall and directly attack the top of the city wall. This not only shares the pressure on the main battlefield of the gap, but also strives to rush to the city wall directly, killing two birds with one stone.

At the same time, the Qing army's rear team had already rushed to the city and entered the post. The firepower in the city suddenly began to grow densely, but the Qing army was fast, and the Wu army commando was faster. Soon, the first Wu army soldier successfully rushed to the gap in the city wall and immediately cheered, "Brothers, get on! The rioters paved a road for us to go down the city, and we can rush into the city directly!"

After saying that, the Wu army soldier who rushed to the gap first took the lead and launched a charge again with his gun without hesitation. It turned out that in order to quickly block the gap, the Qing army built many earth, stone and sandbags on the ruins of the collapsed city wall to pave the way directly onto the gap. Later, because the Wu army's artillery fire was too fierce, it was almost impossible for Qing soldiers to climb the gap to repair the city wall. The road they paved also became the lower stairs of the Wu army commando at this moment, allowing the Wu army soldiers to jump from high places without risking injury and rush into the city directly.

Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang quickly knocked down the Wu army warrior who was eager to achieve merit, but could not stop more Wu army warriors from rushing into the gap one after another and rushing into the city. At the same time, the first Wu army flag was successfully inserted into the gap, sending a signal that the ants had already taken the gap. The Wu army soldiers immediately cheered and rushed faster and stronger.

Boom! Boom! Two powder barrels suddenly exploded in the gap. The Wu army soldiers who had just rushed into the gap were caught off guard and were killed or injured. But very well, the Wu army's military flag was not blown down and was still tightly inserted into the cracks on the city wall. The Wu army general behind also shouted loudly and ordered, "Continue rush! Continue rush! Go up and go straight into the city!"

"Kill!"

The Qing army laid the road up the city on its own and helped the Wu army at a critical moment. As long as the Wu army soldiers climbed to the top of the gap, they immediately rolled and rushed into the city. Therefore, although the Qing army threw out the powder barrels one after another, they still could not stop the Wu army soldiers from entering the city one after another. The members of the Wu army commando who had been highly rewarded were sacrificed and kept taking advantage of the break of the Qing army's powder barrel explosion to climb to the top of the gap from the middle of the gap as much as possible. They rushed into the city hurriedly with the bodies of their dead companions, and gradually gathered a certain amount of troops in the city.

Seeing this, many friends in the city must ask, where is the Qing army behind the city wall? Can Fuxin be so stupid that he does not leave any protection gap behind the city wall? The answer is that the Qing army general Fuxin did leave a single protection gap directly to him. The defeated soldiers left by Nasuken were also left in the city by Fuxin, and some Jinan regiment training were also on the scene. However...

However, these Qing troops could hardly count their existence. Except for the first few Wu soldiers who rushed into the city first, the Wu soldiers who rushed to the city were besieged by them, after the Wu soldiers rushed to them in time, the ordinary Qing troops who had high expectations were panicked. Before the Wu army commando could throw more grenades, they were already screaming and fleeing from all directions, "Palm thunder! The thunder of the thief army is coming! Run!"

Some of these Qing troops also tried to persist. At least the battalion officers of the battalion directly under Fuxin tried to force the soldiers of their own army to launch a charge and fight close-knit combat with the Wu army commando, which was at an absolute disadvantage. However, after seeing the Qing army brigade rushing towards him, the Wu army commando immediately smashed out two more grenades, and the Qing army immediately ran away with a sneer and fled faster than the other. After all, these Qing troops could only compete with the Taiping Army, which had severe combat power at most. When they met the genuine Wu army with better equipment and had experienced many battles, they lost their condescending geographical advantage, and naturally they were left with the life of being trampled and tyrannical.

More and more Wu soldiers rushed into the city, and brought a grenade launcher. Two shells hit the Qing army's battalion flag one after another. The Qing army's battalion flag disappeared into the darkness. The Qing army collapsed faster in the city without a leader. The Wu soldiers took the opportunity to charge forward and seized some private courtyards and established a forward base. At the same time, the Wu soldiers who directly launched an ant attack on the city head also made breakthrough progress. Some people rushed up the city wall to fight. The Qing army was in chaos in the city. The Wu army commando took the opportunity to rush up the gap and rushed into the city. Hu Huaizhao couldn't wait to send three battalions, including an elite battalion, to strengthen their troops, and directly ordered: "Tell the battalion officials of the three battalions that no matter how much the price they paid, they would rush into the city. Who dared to retreat with the army and kill without mercy!"

Hu Huaizhao actually didn't have to be so anxious, because before these three battalions rushed to the bottom of the city wall, the Wu army soldiers who had already entered the city had already fought with the Qing army's subsequent reinforcements, and soon they drew the Qing army drawn from Ronglu from other city gates and searched for their teeth, crying and shaking.

"Run quickly, Wu Zhe's palm thunder is coming again!"

"Shoot the small cannon! Look, Wu Zhe's quick fire the small cannon! Oh my God, so fast? Don't shoot us!"

"Oh! Wu Zhe's gun has magic. Why is it so accurate to fight from such a distance?"

Dogs and sheep fighting with tigers and leopards! Unfortunately, Liu Rong's crow's words, the performance of the Qing reinforcements drawn from other city gates when fighting with the Wu army can only be described as dogs and sheep fighting with tigers and leopards. They dare not fight close to each other with the Wu army, and they dare to avoid shooting far away to shoot at long-range shooting battles that are the least threat to the Wu army. Then, because the Wu army has grenades and grenade launchers, they have rich shooting experience and good shooting skills, and the long-range shooting battles were also completely abused by the Wu army. They were like a group of local dogs and lambs, and they only dared to bare their teeth and scream in the distance. As long as the tigers and hungry wolves make a move, they will immediately run away with their tails.

The Wu army rear team of the three battalions rushed to the city one after another. Although they could only rush up the gap on the ladder to enter the city, because the Wu army ant team had already formed a strong restraint on the Qing army on the city, and the Qing army's powder keg had been exhausted and had no time to replenish, the first battalion rushed into Jinan City almost intact. After the Wu army camp rushed into Jinan City, it was equivalent to directly ringing the death knives of the Qing army in Jinan, completely ruining the dream of Jinan's Qing army to block the gap again.

"Report! The soldiers of the Wu bandits have already rushed into the city!"

"Reported to Lord Futai, Wu's thieves rushed up to the city wall, General Fuxin asked for help, please send reinforcements quickly!"

"Report! Our reinforcements have already fought with the Wu thieves, but the war is not good, and they cannot get close to the gap, so they cannot stop the Wu thieves from entering the city!"

"Master Futai, it's not good! It's not good! There are more and more Wu thief troops entering the city, and our army can't stand it anymore!"

Bad news was sent to Baoyun and others one after another. At first, Baoyun was furious and scolded his subordinates for being incompetent. Even a few Wu soldiers who risked to enter the city could not stand it. Ronglu also had expectations, thinking that the next report would be very likely to be good news. The Qing army in Jinan would definitely be able to kill the Wu army entering the city, which was difficult to replenish troops. However, as time went on, the situation continued to deteriorate. Baoyun, who had once roared like thunder, gradually began to have no strength to shout and yell. Finally, he simply sat on the chair motionless, as if he had completely paralyzed and aphasia. Ronglu's heart gradually began to despair. Although he was unwilling, Ronglu still had to admit in his heart that Liu Rong was right. His own army should abandon the city east as soon as possible, retreat to Jiaodong to preserve his strength, and wait for the slim miracle to appear.

"Master Futai, it's still time to leave now." Liu Rong spoke to break the silence in the hall and said in a deep voice: "It's a foregone conclusion that Jinan has fallen. Taking advantage of the fact that we still have some troops in our hands, we should quickly retreat to Yidu and preserve our hopes for the future."

After hesitating for a long time, Bao Jing said tremblingly: "But Jinan is the provincial capital? Also, I am the governor of Shandong and I am responsible for defending the territory. Even if I lose the provincial capital, I will definitely be dead."

"With your relationship with Master Futai in the court, even if you lose the provincial capital, you should not be in danger of losing your head." Liu Rong said calmly: "Also, although Jinan is the provincial capital of Shandong, the city is dead and people are alive. If you lose Jinan, as long as Master Futai, you are still there, you can rebuild the Shandong Governor's Office at any time when you get there. But if you make any mistakes, Shandong will be completely without a leader."

After hesitating for a long time, when the messenger came to report the critical war again, Baofeng finally made up his mind and slapped the table and said, "Okay, let me listen to Mr. Meng Rong. Take advantage of the opportunity now, let's leave!"

"It's okay to leave, but the food must be burned!" Ronglu said viciously: "Go to the provincial treasury to set the fire and burn all the food, and don't give Wu thieves the chance to get food on the spot!"

"Zhonghua, I don't object to you doing this, but have you considered the consequences of doing this?" Liu Rong asked calmly, and said, "When Wu thieves saw that the food was burned, they would chase you and Lord Futai to the end? From Jinan to Yidu, the nearest Zhangqiu is more than 100 miles away. Can you guarantee that you will get rid of the Wu thieves' pursuit? Can you guarantee that the Wu thieves will not continue to siege Zhangqiu for revenge?"

"Besides," Liu Rong added, saying, "How much does it do if you burn the grain in the warehouse? Jinan is a provincial capital and there is a lot of food storage among the people. Can't Wu thieves buy grain on the spot and collect grain? How difficult will it be to survive this winter and wait until the food and grass are delivered in the back?"

Ronglu's expression began to be depressed. Baofeng was also frightened by Liu Rong's words and quickly said, "Mr. Meng Rong's words make sense. Even if we burn the grain, it will not affect the Wu thief's control of Jinan. The famine in Shandong is so serious now, and burning grain is too disobedient to the will of heaven. It's better not to worry about the granary and leave quickly."

In this way, after confirming that his army was no match for the Wu army after losing the protection of the city wall, Baoyun and Ronglu had no choice but to accept Liu Rong's proposal to abandon the city again. They quickly took the army that could still command out of Lishanmen to escape from Lishanmen. At the same time, because they were afraid of Wu's pursuit and retaliation, Baoyun did not even dare to listen to Ronglu's suggestion of burning grain, and left the food transported from Jiaodong area to the Wu army for use.

Liu Rong also left the city with Baoyun and others, but after leaving the city, Liu Rong found an excuse and sneaked out of the Qing army with her younger brother Liu Fan, forcibly pulled her younger brother to the Wu army soldiers, and took the initiative to express her willingness to surrender. However, when he saw Hu Huaizhao and He Qinghan and other senior leaders of the Wu army, Liu Rong flatly rejected Hu Huaizhao and He Qinghan's invitation to join the government, and just bowed and said, "General Hu, Mr. Boyuan, the students are already discouraged by their career and do not want to join the government anymore. I just ask you to give up the burning of food. I will let my brother and I return to my hometown in Hunan to study and farm the fields, so that we can live our hometown."

We must explain the situation on Fu Zhenbang. After receiving the news that the city wall of Jinan fell, Fu Zhenbang insisted on taking his troops out of the city overnight and rushing back to Jinan to reinforce for reinforcements despite repeated dissuasion by his friend Detong. But unfortunately, the four battalions of Wu soldiers, responsible for monitoring the Changqing Qing army, had also received the news that the main force of his army had broken the city. He knew that the Changqing Qing army would likely send troops back to Jinan to help, and had prepared for night battles early, so Fu Zhenbang failed to sneak away under the cover of the night, and was forced to fight a field battle with the Wu army in the suburbs.

Fortunately, Fu Zhenbang's army, who was familiar with the terrain and road, successfully bypassed the Wu army's blocking position. However, when Fu Zhenbang's army finally returned to the city of Jinan under the pursuit of the Wu army, Baoqian had already abandoned the city. The Wu army used only part of its strength to seize the city, and the remaining troops were freed to deal with Fu Zhenbang. As a result, after a big battle, the elite strong army under Fu Zhenbang completely disappeared. Fu Zhenbang himself was hit by a stray bullet in the fierce battle and died heroically. Unfortunately, he died in the hands of the Wu army, which had many similarities with his army.

"Mr. Boyuan, after you say that the victory report is delivered to King Zhennan, what kind of reward will King Zhennan give me this time?" Hu Huaizhao asked his right-hand assistant He Qinghan quietly.

"General Hu forgives his crimes. The student has just joined the anti-rebellion army. He is not very clear about the reward rules of King Zhennan, so he cannot speculate."

He Qinghan shook his head, raised his voice again, and said, "But I am sure, it will never be light! General, you made a contribution to the partial army. In two months, you won nearly thirty cities in the world, Xuzhou and Yangzhou, two famous military cities in Yanzhou and Tai'an, and miraculously captured the rebellious army and heavily guarded the Shandong provincial capital Jinan City, so the reward of Zhennan King to you will never be light! Moreover, in the future history books, General Hu will definitely be a place and will be famous in history!"

Hu Huaizhao, who was a little stingy, smiled so much that his mouth was almost cracked to his ears. He said in a squint: "Mr. Boyuan is too much. I, Hu Huaizhao, a cowherd kid who has only been in a private school for half a year, deserves to be famous in history? But Mr. Boyuan, can you please help me?"

"Please say something to General Hu."

"Please give me a name and a name, so as not to remember my name in history books in the future, so that people in future generations will think that I am just a little person."
