"General! Zhong Han's troops in Dongcheng have entered the city!" Xiao Dingzi pointed to the Taiping Army flag that appeared on the top of the city and reported to Zhao Kuo with ecstasy faces.

Zhao Kuo stood still since the explosion sounded, staring at the crowd of people in the gap in Beicheng with extreme nervousness. Hearing the air, he was shocked, and suddenly turned his head to look at Dongcheng, clenched his fists, for a while, as if the iron spine that had been stuck in his body was pulled away, and his whole body was relaxed. He let out a long breath, sat on the chair with great ease, picked up the teacup next to him, and sniffed it comfortably, then pointed to Shaozhou City and sneered: "Tong'an, see how you still fight me? Get out."

"The East City is broken!" Someone shouted in the gap. The sound was like a Siberian cold wave, frozen the entire Qing army that was about to be red-eyed and killed at Zhu Qingzheng's troops. Everyone looked at the devilish yellow military flag on the top of the Dongcheng city in horror.

The military flag seemed to have great magic power, and turned into a huge cold pressure to press forward towards the group of Qing soldiers who had just been ready to die.

This pressure immediately made all the defenders bow their waists.

"The city is broken!" When the sound was first made in the Qing army group, it was just murmured, with timidity, as if a thin man with glasses on the subway said to the tattooed strong man beside him, "You have not zipped your pants." But soon the sound swept across the braided soldiers like a plague!

"The city is broken!" The extremely panic screams rose and fell in the defenders' ranks, and everyone's face was bloodless. The soldiers on the periphery shook their legs for a while, then threw away their weapons and turned around and ran away, slipping past the commander who should have been suppressed immediately. They were staring at the devil-like flag like a wooden chicken, trembling like a knife in their hands.

Soon, the tiny loss of sand became a collapse like a landslide. Faced with the Taiping Army's front that was pressing through the gap, these Qing soldiers no longer had the courage or reason to fight to the death, and turned around and ran away.

When morale decreases, I will grow stronger, and when the attack is immediately retreating, I will advance!

The gap was immediately attacked!

Zhu Qingzheng, who seemed to attack the arrow at the beginning, was no longer fighting. He could no longer see the warrior who dared to fight to the death with him. His back was trembling because of his terrifying howls, and he could not even see a face. He just instinctively chased these backs and slashed and killed them.

At the gap defense line, the entire Qing army fled in scattered areas.

At this time, they changed from short-term men to their true nature and started a race in a crazi manner away from the Taiping Army. Everyone tried to leave their comrades who had just fought side by side!

Fifty steps and laugh a hundred steps? This is nonsense! Compared to the guy who runs a hundred steps, he is more likely to be killed by the pursuers when he runs only 50 steps. In Shaozhou City, there are fifty steps and hundreds of steps and scolds him! - Why are you, the grandson of the turtle, running so fast? Then turn your head and look at the Taiping Army like a demon behind him, and continue to escape to the leader. The safest one at the front is. Everyone wants to throw others into the mouth of the tiger behind him and delay their life.

It was exactly the same as Zhao Kuo predicted that once Dongcheng was climbed into the city, the Taiping Army torrent was blocked outside the gap. The plug was immediately pulled out of the water tank. In the blink of an eye, it was poured down. The smoke of the guards who had just filled the entire Shaozhou city wall disappeared in an instant, leaving only the "killing the Qing Demon" shouts coming from the city.

To fight with all your strength, you must launch the attack at the same time as the cave siege!

This is Zhao Kuo’s death order at the meeting last night!

He couldn't help but deliberately set this strategy as a dead order, because the hand-to-hand combat and the gap invasion were not common sense in that era!

In this era, siege was extremely cruel. The crackdown of the city wall became a magic weapon. Although the battle for the gap was very fierce and the losses were quite large, the tragic and great losses of the hand-to-hand combat climbing the city were not at the same level at all.

It is difficult to dig a tunnel, it is even more difficult to successfully blast the tunnel, and it is even more difficult to successfully blow out the gap!

So once there is a gap in the city wall, it is like there are five million more on the ground in later generations. The defenders often face the attacking side with red eyes and want to rush over the entire line. If they are not careful, the entire army will be finished. Therefore, when they see the gap, the defenders will also press the entire line with red eyes, because they are like this.

In history, the Taiping Army has always suppressed all its main forces to the gap! Once the city falls, no matter what else, the entire army will attack this fatal weakness together.

But Zhao Kuo was very disdainful of this. In the fierce battle in Changsha, the Taiping Army was the main force and had strong manpower. He dug more than ten tunnels and successfully attacked the city four or five times, but in the end he was driven out of the gap? Changsha was still in the hands of the Qing soldiers.

Historians have pointed out in pain from the Taiping Army's previous wars: This is too unaware of the overall situation. The gap is the gate of victory. However, because both sides of the offense and defense are affected by the old idea of ​​having gaps that need to be heavily entrusted, the other defense lines of the defenders must be weak. When attacking the gap, you must not ignore the important role of hand-to-hand combat in the city. For example, a certain battle between the Taiping Army and a unit of the Taiping Army succeeds in hand-to-hand combat in the city when the enemy's attention is attracted to the gap.

So Zhao Kuo immediately took out this valuable experience to deal with the young Tong'an who had insufficient experience.

He succeeded!

The first explosion immediately attracted all Tong'an's attention into the gap, and he immediately took half of the defenders in the East City.

The morale of the East City defenders was obviously inferior to before. The guards were half weak. When they were aiming their guns, they looked at the north side. In this era of barbarians guarding against strong city walls, the gap was the nightmare of all defenders. If the North City was finished, they would definitely be finished in the east. They no longer had the courage to fight with the bare-handed and long-haired mantle just now. They were weak and seemed to be fighting with a cold muzzle that they didn't know if they would fire.

The army commander Zhong Han, who was responsible for attacking Dongcheng, received a strict order. Once the gap was blasted, he immediately attacked the city wall defenders at all costs.

The authentic explosion is the clarion call of the Taiping Army’s full-line general attack!

The Qing soldiers were not elite troops, and their morale had been hit by the explosion of the city wall. Their military strength was reduced by half. They immediately became more and more scared. Soon, under the fierce attack of Dongcheng Zhong Han's troops, who were so angry that they lost their heads, they lost the head of Dongcheng.

Once the head of Dongcheng City changed hands, it immediately caused a fatal morale blow to the Qing army on the gap defense line, and it immediately disintegrated. The gap was immediately defeated by Zhu Qingzheng's troops of the Taiping Army.

When Zhao Kuo saw his military flag flying in the east city, he immediately thought he would win. This judgment was based on his understanding of the morale of the Qing soldiers.

The Qing army and the Eight Banners Green Camp were all rotten, as if they were completely unscrupulous, but Zhao Kuo did not dare to be careless in his ability to defend the city.

After all, in ancient and modern times, how many miscellaneous armies have created shocking miracles in defense or defending the city?

The difference in morale between the miscellaneous garbage and the elite iron army is just whether there is a choice to raise your chest and arch your waist.

The elite iron army has no choice. They neither need to raise their chests nor bow their waists. They only perform their duties conscientiously. They can climb ladders with flying arrows and crossbow stones at any time and anywhere, or they can also bombard the opponent's artillery and rifle fire, and beat the sermon drums and line up in a neat shooting queue. They are so cold that they kill their opponents like emotionsless stones.

However, the miscellaneous army is often greatly influenced by morale, showing a terrible contrast between the world before and after.

This is also why Chinese and foreign ancient and modern trash often have magical works that shock people in defense, while in terms of attack, miscellaneous cards are always miscellaneous cards.

Not only does defending the city have a strong position, but it often fights for one's own survival, which is to raise your chest and arch your waist.

Under the courage of the guard, with the officers leading by example, and with a higher battlefield reward, soldiers can easily lift their chests and turn from a group of rats to a group of tigers.

In history, the Taiping Army had an advantage in besieging Changsha, but it was just because a prisoner Sai Shanga, who had made meritorious service, used a rope to enter the lonely city and defend the city, which made the Taiping Army unable to do anything to the lonely city Changsha. During the Northern Expedition, the Taiping Army was all the most elite troops, because they did not prepare for the severe cold in the north, and some Taiping Army from the south were even frozen on the road during the march, so they still fought to Tianjin! What kind of morale is this? But a small Cangzhou also made this army suffer extremely heavy casualties. What is the difference between the Eight Banners Green Camp soldiers in Cangzhou City and the other Qing troops who were beaten to pieces by them on the Northern Expedition?

The bad-branded garbage troops can sometimes make people lose their eyes when defending.

But what if it fails slightly?

There is no doubt that he was immediately beaten back to the prototype.

Either you raise your chest or arch your waist, or you change between the tiger and the mouse, and you will definitely not be able to turn into a crow.

Therefore, Zhao Kuo was 100% sure that if the city of Beicheng collapsed, the East City would become a mouse; if the East City was finished, the gap in Beicheng immediately became a group of mouse.

It is absolutely impossible for a group of tigers who are fighting to the death that are the ones who are winning and losing in the Green Camp who are first pulled out the Taiping Army Flag in the East City and then kill the Taiping Army out of the gap.

In the city, the Qing soldiers on the periphery had already started to look pale. When they threw weapons and escaped by Tong'an for the speed of running, Tong'an always pressed his face with his hands, his face turned pale, without saying a word, and his whole body trembled. Not to mention giving orders, his mind was blank at this moment and he could not think at all.

"General! General!" Several personal soldiers shouted a few times but did not see the general's order. They looked at the Dongcheng military flag and looked around. Several people nodded, helped Tong'an up on the horse, and led the horse and fled towards the west gate.

"General! What to do! What to do!" The magistrate who was dead mother-like was crying and ran towards Tong'an. Seeing Tong'an being surrounded by personal soldiers and walking towards the west, he was stunned for a moment and staggered to catch up: "What to do? What to do?"

"Fuck you!" Seeing that the cunning widow was about to pick up Ma Shishang'an's boots, she followed the personal soldier behind her and kicked the prefect.

The prefect climbed up in a daze, knelt on the ground, looking at the back of Tong'an who was leaving, tears streaming over the dusty face, murmured: "What should I do? What should I do?"

"Run! Master!" He was still astonished, and he carried his master up desperately and threw it into the sedan chair. The sedan chairmen immediately went crazy and carried it towards the south gate.
Chapter completed!
