Chapter 232 Decisive Battle (2)

"Sir, just a little medicine. If you shoot three shots of our guns, you will have to shut down the fire!"

On the top of the city, Niu Gensheng, who was originally the chief officer of the Taiping Army's artillery battalion, looked at Zhao Sihai, a hundred households who were supervising the battle in the city.

Zhao Sihai looked at Niu Gensheng and the Han flag soldiers behind him. He twitched his nose and spitted on the ground, cursing: "Fire the cannon, have you heard clearly what I said! No matter how many medicines are left, fire the cannon for me. If you can get all these medicines, you will fuck me and follow me out of the city!"

Hearing this, Niu Gensheng's eyelids twitched and hesitated: "Sir, we brothers are all gunners, this is the matter of leaving the city."

"What, are you scared?" Zhao Sihai glared at him and sneered: "Does Niu Zuoling still want to turn against him?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers who led Zhao Sihai to the city and the old Taiping Army in the artillery camp immediately drew their swords and glared at the Han flag gunners. With just Zhao Sihai's order, they could chop off the gunners immediately.

This incident made Niu Gensheng feel nervous and also made the Han flag gunners tremble.

Niu Gensheng smiled bitterly and said self-deprecatingly: "Sir, is there any possibility of rebellion in the current Beijie? There have been many Qing troops who have died under our brother's artillery in the past few months. I am afraid that even if the current Beijie is rebelling, it will still end up with two corpses."

"That cowardly bird? Without these cannons, can you not kill anyone?" Zhao Sihai snorted, intentionally urged Niu Gensheng to surrender the Han army flag soldiers. He grinned and pointed at the city, shouting: "Don't talk nonsense with me here. Lord Qianhu has already left the city. You can fire a cannon for me quickly. After the cannons, he will go out of the city to find Qing Yao to fight to the death! I don't believe that you guys are really so cowardly. If you leave the cannon, you can't cut off the heads!"

"Don't worry, brothers can still cut people!"

Niu Gensheng made up his mind. When the Taiping Army opened the city gate, he knew that the battle of Xinhui was a feint to decide the final victory and the Taiping Army was really going to be defeated. No matter what his ideas he made, it was useless. Now the lives of his brothers and his subordinates were tied to the Taiping Army. They were fighting each other, and they were not as good as his mother!

He sniffed hard, and ordered at a gunner: "Everyone listens to my orders and fire!"

The gunners heard the order and quickly lit the fuse, and instantly, the sound of "boom," the cannon sounded over the Xinhui.

"where**?!"

The sudden sound of cannons made Shang Zhixin, who was in a state of depression, paused. He thought it was the Ming Navy on the Jiangshang, but when he heard the sound of cannons, the direction was clearly from the Xinhui City. Before he could send someone to find out, a roar of killing came from his ears.

"The Taiping Army soldiers follow me to kill the demons!"

Zhou Shixiang took the lead and led more than 2,000 Taiping Army to fight bravely towards the Qing army camp.

The Qing army's green camp soldiers were already in a low morale and were shaken by the sound of cannons. Seeing the black Taiping army rushing out of the city and coming towards them with a desperate fear, the morale of the army collapsed. No one thought of intercepting the Taiping army, but turned around and ran to the back. Some officers were even running away. The soldiers had no fighting spirit and no fighting spirit was the best portrayal of the Qing army at present.

The Taiping Army broke through the first line of defense of the Qing army almost without any effort, which greatly boosted the morale of the army. Seeing that the Qing army was so unbearable, Zhou Shixiang was also excited. He knew that he had bet right, and the Qing army that had besieged his side for several months had already been strong outside and the middle. As long as the Jiangshang Navy could send troops ashore in time to respond, this was the best opportunity to defeat the Qing army.

In order to expand the results of the war and destroy the Qing army's defense line to the greatest extent, Zhou Shixiang ordered the Zhenlu camp and Xiongwei camp to follow the fleeing Qing army to attack the second line of defense of the Qing army in front. Hujie camp attacked the Qing army along the river to the west, so as to get in touch with the Jiangshang Navy. The camp attacked the southward camp at the same time, and the three parties exerted their efforts at the same time, so as not to make the Qing army's guards respond, so that they could defeat them one by one. He led the guard camp deeper along the Zhenlu camp and Xiongwei camp, while confiscating and surrendering Qing soldiers. While monitoring the movements of the entire battlefield, they provided support to all parties at any time.

After seizing the Qing army's east and west artillery, the camp took advantage of the situation to attack inward. The Qing army either fled or surrendered along the way, except for a few Qing soldiers who were fighting stubbornly, the enemy in front of the camp had almost no resistance.

The east and west artillery batteries of the Qing army were blown up by Taiping soldiers and were later rebuilt. However, the rebuilt East and West artillery batteries were not as many artillery numbers and quality as before. Because the Taiping Army suddenly left the city and acted quickly, the Qing army, which was on the first line of defense, collapsed instantly, so that the east and west artillery batteries had no time to fire a shot at the Taiping Army. In order to effectively use the two artillery batteries of the Qing army, Tieyi ordered people to spread the news to the city and asked Zhao Sihai to quickly take over the east and west artillery battalions with his artillery battalion.

After receiving the news, Zhao Sihai, who had already led the artillery battalion out of the city, was overjoyed and hurriedly led the artillery battalion to the Qing army's east-west fortress. After a little rectification, he adjusted the gun and aimed it at the Qing army's artillery shell in front of him.

The Qing army, which had not yet come back from the nightmare of being easily broken through by the Taiping Army, was soon hit by its own fort. It has to be said that the Han flag gunners under Niu Gensheng's men have strong artillery capabilities. After several rounds of artillery attacks, the Qing army's defense line in the south and east directions was blown to pieces, killing and injuring hundreds of Qing troops.

There was a Taiping Army attack that was broken by axes and sunk by boats, and a long time ago, and a long time, there was a fire attack from artillery. In addition, the Qing soldiers retreated from the front, less than half an hour after the war started, the entire Qing army's defense line was cut into several pieces by the Taiping Army, unable to connect with each other, and they did not know the situation of the other party, and they were just about to fall into a state of shaking and collapse on the whole line.

In the chaos, the Qing army generals on the second and third lines of defense were not only suppressing the troops while desperately filling the gap broken by the Taiping Army, but also constantly sending people to ask for help from the camp.

Shang Zhixin's head was also confused at the beginning, and he couldn't figure out what was going on now. But with the crying and begging the messengers of help, he suddenly realized something was wrong. After ordering the generals who were asking for help to defend the defense line, he hurriedly sent people to summon Ban Zhifu and Qin Guocheng, and wanted to order Ban, Qin and the two of them to mobilize elite flag soldiers to go out of the city to encircle the Taiping Army and take advantage of the situation to mobilize troops to raid Xinhui City. According to his judgment, there were not many Taiping Army soldiers in Xinhui City. Now they suddenly went out of the city to attack the Qing army's defense line, and they launched at the same time, instantly breaking through the first line of defense and attacking the second line of defense. Then it was obvious that the thief scholar used all the Taiping Army's troops, otherwise it would be impossible to achieve such a large momentum.

The thief scholar's actions are, firstly, it is likely to contact the Ming army navy on the river and launch it at the same time, but it is also likely that he cannot wait to be forced to leave the city to fight. No matter what purpose the thief scholar's purpose is to go out of the city to fight, there will definitely be no more soldiers and horses in Xinhui City. Just keep the Taiping Army's offensive outside the second line of defense now, with much more military strength advantages than the opponent, Shang Zhixin is definitely sure to take advantage of the situation to attack Xinhui City. Without Xinhui City as a support, the Taiping Army that attacked the city will be rootless Zhiping and will not last long. In the end, the winner will be Shang Zhixin!
