(Dear...If you think it's good... don't forget to bookmark this book...)

It was dawn again, and the army outside Hangzhou was still preparing to attack the city.

"Report... Report to Your Highness, the 9th Division of the Fifth Army has been prepared and standby!"

"Report... Report to Your Highness, the First Army is ready!"

"Report... Report to Your Highness, the musket team has lined up and ready to shoot!"

...

Zuo Zongtang calculated various preparations and whispered: "Your Highness, all the preparations are ready and you can attack the city!"

Li Yunzhong looked at the Hangzhou City standing in front of him and shouted: "Fire the cannon!"

"attack!"

...

Huang Bo took the lead and shouted: "Run up."

"Run"

...

In an instant, more than 7,000 people from the Ninth Division were divided into four square formations and charged towards the city wall. From time to time, some people were shot and fell to the ground. The people behind continued to move forward without hesitation.

"Cloud ladder! Quick... Get up." Huang Bo arrived near the city wall, jumped off his horse, directed his soldiers to set up a cloud ladder under the city wall, and climbed up the wall.

Feng Zicai on the city wall was not to be outdone and loudly commanded the city to defend the city: "Prepare the stones... and shoot arrows..."

...

Li Yunzhong looked at the Ninth Division in a tough battle and said coldly: "Send the order and extend the artillery fire. If you can't attack the city wall, the cannons will not be stopped!"

Huang Bo pulled Zhou Xiuying down, who was about to climb the ladder, and said angrily: "You are commanding below, and you are not allowed to run around!"

Zhou Xiuying shook Huang Bo away and crawled over Huang Bo's head in a few seconds. She turned around and wanted to say something, but couldn't say it. She smiled sweetly, bit the big knife, and continued to move upwards.

Huang Bo seemed to have lost something, and was at a loss.

I said I wanted to protect her. Huang Bo comforted herself like this and followed Zhou Xiuying up.

Zhou Xiuying silently calculated the height from the city wall, and watched the soldiers who were knocked down one by one remained indifferent until there was no one above her, so she could only passively avoid stones and guns.

Now, Zhou Xiuying took the knife, let go of her hands, climbed onto the ladder with both feet, and walked like flying. She jumped up without three breaths and landed on the city wall. She killed the dull Qing soldiers with her eyes stagnant and jumped into the city wall. Huang Bo also took the opportunity to speed up and climbed up. The two looked at each other and rushed forward side by side.

"Okay... the First Army is ready immediately." Li Yunzhong saw the two of them cheering loudly, and immediately ordered the First Army to prepare for siege. Just wait for the Ninth Division to gain a foothold on the wall, and then attack the city in one fell swoop and break through in one fell swoop.

"Sir, I'm not doing well. Two thieves are coming to kill the west..." A guerrilla said to Feng Zicai in panic.

"You are here to command, I'll go over!" Feng Zicai did not dare to neglect and personally led his personal soldiers to rush over.

Huang Bo looked at the six Han soldiers who broke through again, and shouted while killing the enemy: "Everyone is back to back, don't disperse, gather together, don't disperse..."

After Feng Zicai arrived, he directly held up a big knife and slashed Huang Bo. Huang Bo was caught off guard and was shocked a few steps back. Zhou Xiuying hurriedly helped him back. Several Han troops blocked Feng Zicai, but they were all killed by the Qing army in a short while.

Huang Bo and Zhou Xiuying stood in a stalemate with the Qing army on their backs.

Looking at the two surrounded, Feng Zicai breathed a sigh of relief and ordered the extra people to continue defending the city and killing the enemy. He led his personal soldiers to surround the two bold rebels.

"Don't you two surrender until they die?" Feng Zicai felt sorry for the bravery of the two of them and actually persuaded them to surrender.

Zhou Xiuying 'spoiled' and cursed: "No one will surrender to you, you'd better give up this heart!"

Huang Bo laughed loudly and said, "Well said! Xiuying, you did not disappoint me. Even if we die here today, it would be fine... Let's meet each other!"

Seeing that they were about to die, he still flirted and said angrily: "Go ahead! Kill them!"

Under the city

Seeing that Huang Bo and the two were submerged by the Qing army, Li Yunzhong was very nervous. He tried to endure the First Army's attack several times. Before the best time was yet, the strong attack could only increase casualties.

"All cannons fire, no need to cool down!"

Li Yunzhong could only expect Huang Bo to hold on for a while.

Since last night when he heard the special forces spoken by the King of Han, Tang Liang has been obsessed with it and sent people to build the flying claws overnight. Seeing that the King of Han was so anxious about the two people on the city wall.

Tang Liang wanted to show his intention in front of the King of Han. He rode his mount and suddenly rushed towards the city wall. He arrived near the ladder in a short while, and jumped up the ladder. He didn't need to hold his hands and was like flying on the ladder. He climbed halfway up the waist of the city in one breath.

The Qing army was not vague when they saw such obvious targets. Arrows, stones, and muskets all came like he greeted them.

With the flying claws out, Tang Liang threw the city wall with force, and with his right hand, the flying ladder attached to the wall like a gecko, wandering upwards.

"I'll come!" Tang Liang shouted loudly, landing three feet behind Huang Bo like a divine weapon descending from the sky. He grabbed a weapon, picked or stabbed him, and actually let him kill him in front of Huang Bo.

"Brother, are you okay?" Tang Liang asked with concern, holding Huang Bo who almost fell to the ground.

Huang Bo endured the pain and shouted: "Save Xiuying quickly! Don't worry about me."

Tang Liang held Huang Bo with one hand, slashed Feng Zicai with one knife, and rushed to Zhou Xiuying in front of him in three or two steps. Seeing that the two of them were just losing their strength, he said, "You guys are here to rest for a while, I'll go and come!"

Tang Liang had no worries. He held two swords in his hand and killed the Qing soldiers along the chassis. When he met a ladder, he covered the Han soldiers and climbed the city wall. In just a quarter of an hour, more than fifty Han soldiers followed him.

Zhang Guoliang shouted loudly: "Foreign Gun Team! Call Foreign Gun Team..."

Li Yunzhong was stunned when he saw Tang Liang's performance. He had never thought that a person could be so elegant and fierce, and that a city wall of about ten meters could climb up so easily.

"Transfer the order and the army will attack the city with all its might. If there is someone who retreats but fails to forward, there will be no mercy!" Li Yunzhong pulled out his sword and pointed in the direction of the city wall.

"kill"

"Run"

...

Tens of thousands of troops rushed towards the city wall with weapons such as ladders.

Zhang Guoliang looked at the Han army gathering more and more, and the dense figures under the city walls closed his eyes in pain. He overestimated himself and underestimated the Han army. Unexpectedly, the Han army had so many firearms in just one year.

"Retreat...the army retreated from the city wall..." Zhang Guoliang pulled Feng Zicai and led his troops to slowly exit the city wall. There were few Han soldiers, and they did not pursue them, but just followed slowly.

When the Qing army retreated to the underworld, Feng Zicai immediately asked: "Military Gate, what should we do now?"

"According to the plan, fight street battles! Even if you lose a street, you will have to pay the price of bleeding! If you dare to retreat privately, you will be rectified on the spot!" Zhang Guoliang led everyone to retreat to the government office in the city and arranged defense.

Li Yunzhong did not enter the city, and was still in the camp outside the city, dressed in military uniform and accepted interviews from reporters such as Jenny. Zi Linxi News also made a special trip to send a camera from Shanghai.

Jenny asked excitedly: "Hiss King Han, what do you think about the capture of Hangzhou City this time!"

Li Yunzhong smiled, cooperated with Weilie Yali to take a photo, and replied: "Since our army's uprising, the Qing army has been defeated. I am not surprised by the easy capture of Hangzhou."

Joseph Ai said: "But I heard that you have prepared for this war for three months. Does this mean that you attach great importance to the Qing army and dare not take risks easily?"

Li Yunzhong replied solemnly: "I'm preparing for three months, not just for a Hangzhou city, but half of Jiangnan: Zhejiang Province, Fujian Province, and Guangdong Province!"

Jenny kept recording and asked again: "May I ask, how many soldiers did you sacrifice in this war?"

"Three thousand people! These young men are all good! I would rather die on the way to charge than take a step back. I plan to build a monument for them so that future generations can remember them forever." Li Yunzhong wiped his tears at the right time.

Weilieyali put down the camera and asked, "May I ask, when will you send troops to the north to overthrow the ignorant Qing Kingdom?"

"Now my big man mainly cultivates and nourishes and resumes production. When our big man's foundation is stable, we will naturally send troops to the north. It is too early to talk about this." Li Yunzhong saw many people standing outside the tent waiting to be summoned, and said to Jenny: "Today's interview is over. It's time for you to go back to Shanghai. I will arrange someone to send you back tomorrow!"
