February 15th. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

It's a sunny day, a sunny spring, if it's in Qingzhou, it's still a little cold in this season, but here, the climate is still warm and pleasant.

On the third day after the convergence of the Tiger Ben Army and the Shenji Army, the two of them, who had recovered from the fatigue of the long march, issued a general attack on the city of Guangzhou.

At this time, with the continuous support of the new army, the number of soldiers outside Guangzhou reached 170,000, and the number of field fears also reached 700.

"Seven hundred field guns, three hundred mortars, that's enough for them to drink a pot." Luo Xin's eyebrows fluttered, he was good at commanding artillery, and now was the best opportunity for him to give full play to the advantages of artillery fire.

Lu Fei said: "Taking Guangzhou City, the merchant council is basically over, and now that the ammunition is sufficient, you can use the artillery as you want." ”

Luo Xin's eyes flashed with excitement, there are not many soldiers equipped with firearms in Guangzhou City now, and they are all recruited recruits, for them, these soldiers do not have much combat effectiveness at all.

And the people bewitched by the Green Dragon King are even more cannon fodder.

"It's time to put an end to this farce."

Luo Xin said in a solemn voice, and then he began to deploy field artillery and mortar artillery, in order to achieve the effect of breaking the enemy with one blow, this time he did not choose to shell on all sides at the same time.

Instead, he concentrated all the field artillery and mortar in front of the north gate of the city of Guangzhou, which was now surrounded by water, and he had no fear that they would escape.

In the morning, a total of 1,000 artillery pieces were assembled with the field fear plus mortars, and with Luo Xin's order, the Battle of Guangzhou City officially started at one o'clock in the afternoon.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom......" In the sound of cannonballs shaking the heavens and the earth, cannonballs like raindrops fell on the city wall directly north of Guangzhou City.

In an instant, the walls were covered in flames, the masonry was shattered, and flesh and blood were flying, and the defenses north of the council army were shattered by a single round of artillery bombardment.

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

The first shelling was followed by a second shelling, and the parliamentary soldiers, who had walked around in hell, fell into terror once again.

Then the third, the fourth, when the smoke cleared, and after four rounds of shelling, less than forty percent of the parliamentary soldiers were left on the walls, and their artillery was largely destroyed.

"I'm going home, I'm going home!"

On the city wall of Guangzhou, a soldier of the parliamentary army collapsed, the hellish experience made him run down regardless of anything, and the soldiers who survived looked numbly at the corpses on the city wall, this was not a war, this was a massacre.

The screams of the soldiers tightened their hearts one by one, and after the first soldier broke up, the remaining soldiers fled the battlefield in desperation.

In the city of Guangzhou, the faces of the people under the command of the Green Dragon King were all frightened, and the huge explosion from the north made their hearts rise to their throats.

And the bloodied rout that followed made them even more worried.

"Hurry up and run for your life, you can't win, you can't win......," a soldier shouted miserably, but before he could say anything, he stopped abruptly, and a general's knife pierced the soldier's heart.

Drawing out the bloody sword, the general shouted: "All forward, don't you want to get the land and not pay the grain from now on?" The royal army is just outside the city, and as long as we win, we have everything. ”

"Rush!" Some of the outlaws in the crowd shouted, their fears forgotten by the immediate benefits, and they shouted and headed north.

Outside the city, the royal soldiers sat leisurely in the trenches, waiting for the shelling to end, and after experiencing large and small battles, they completely saw the combat power of the merchant council.

Now they are very confident.

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

After a short break, the roar of artillery was heard again, and the entire artillery position was filled with fire and smoke.

The walls of Canton City were crumbling after being bombarded like raindrops of cannonballs.

Seeing this, Luo Xin urged the artillery to continue the shelling, and finally, after the seventeenth round of shelling, the northern wall of Guangzhou collapsed, and at this time, the soldiers of the Qinglong King also arrived under the city.

The sudden collapse left many soldiers confused, but something even more terrible than the city walls happened, and they experienced for the first time what shelling was.

The soldiers had not yet come to their senses, and a dense stream of shells fell right next to them.

Shrapnel flew, waves of air rolled, and the soldiers of the Green Dragon King suffered heavy casualties in an instant, these soldiers were ordinary people who farmed the land, how could they have experienced such a terrible war.

Looking at their fallen companions, they ran away crying and screaming, and at this moment, a terrible news suddenly came.

"Don't fight, everyone, the Qinglong King ran away, the father and son of the Cao family also ran away, and all of our silver was taken away by them, and now they are just leaving us to die, don't resist, otherwise you will only give away your lives in vain."

The person who spoke was none other than Lin Youde, and now the council members in the city found that the Cao family's father and son and the Qinglong King were no longer in the city.

Upon hearing the news, he immediately spread the word, and this was the time to disturb the hearts of the Parliamentary army.

Sure enough, as soon as the news came out, the soldiers were in an uproar, they were fighting because of their faith in the Blue Dragon King of the Merchant Council, and they had now shamelessly abandoned them.

"Damn, let's send them to death, but they ran away, and the brothers stopped fighting." A general scolded fiercely.

"The Merchant Council is a bunch of liars, they are the ones who cheated and we have nothing now."

"Kill them!"

“……”

Angry words came from the mouths of the soldiers, who, instead of rushing to the front, took up arms and rushed to the parliamentary quarters.

At this time, Lin Youde was dressed as an ordinary soldier, and when he saw this, he showed a smile, as long as Guangzhou was in chaos, they would be able to reduce casualties.

And when the angry soldiers rushed into the station to find that the Cao family father and son, the Blue Dragon King was really no more, an even greater chaos appeared, and the soldiers began to shoot at the council within the council.

For them, now they just want to vent their anger.

At the same time, when the city wall of Guangzhou fell, Lu Fei gave the order to charge.

The royal soldiers, armed with their bayonet rifles, poured into the city like a flood, and in the face of the chaos of the city, they quickly took control of the situation.

The civilians and soldiers who saw the royal soldiers rushing towards them immediately chose to surrender, and the royal army's attack went smoothly and met little resistance.

Luo Xin and Lu Fei entered the city after the city was broken, and when they saw Lin Youde walking towards them, the two got off their horses and said with a smile: "Lin Youde, you are still alive." ”

"How could I die before the Merchant Council was wiped out?" Lin Youde laughed.

He had known the two of them before he had been in the Merchant Council, and it was Li San who had taken him to meet with the people in the army for today.
