The mountain of corpses is full of bones,

Ten thousand dead lonely cities are not willing to surrender!

A message to passers-by to cover their noses,

The living are not as fragrant as the dead!

"In the season of Ming, Shilin has no shame. Those who occupy high positions and enjoy heavy names are proud of begging with masks; And the marshals of the feudal territory are all anti-introverted. The history of Duyan and Chen Erdian is righteous in one city. If this is the case for the envoy to guard the entrance of Beijing, then Jiangnan will not give up his hands. ”

——Mourning Yan Yingyuan, Chen Mingyu, and Feng Houdun

This round of artillery on the head of the city can be seen clearly, just these eight cannons are afraid that at least dozens of green battalion soldiers have been killed and injured, several shield cars have been blown up, and countless ladders have been swept away, looking at the green battalion soldiers who have fallen into chaos, listening to their screams, the Taiping soldiers in the city were immediately excited and thunderous, and even the Xinhui Qingzhuang, who was still trembling in his legs just now, suddenly had a heart and shouted loudly.

When the cannon was fired, Ge Zheng stood in front of the Hongyi cannon, and the sound of the cannon was cold, and his eardrums were suddenly shaken to the point of pain, and he thought that he was deaf, and when he saw the cannon exploding in the Qing army, he didn't care that the buzzing sound in his ears was still there, and he slapped his thigh heavily, and shouted at the gunners with a smile: "Dog, fight well, fight well!" Fight, continue to fight Lao Tzu, and blow up these bitches to the west! ”

"Reward, reward, heavy reward, after the battle, Lao Tzu will give you a heavy reward, real money, real money"

Ge Zheng, who was so happy, forgot that he had any silver in his hand, and the silver was piled up in the public treasury, but who would take care of this stubble.

Zhou Shixiang in the distance also nodded, and the guys in the Han Army Banner were really good at handling artillery, and a few cannons were shot out to be in the middle of the crowd, it seems that they can't kill these guys in the future, and they have to be used to their own usefulness, otherwise it's a pity, after all, the foundation of the Taiping Army is too thin, and there are very few "technical" soldiers who can handle artillery.

It was also the first time to see his own soldiers and horses firing cannons, Song Xianggong was also relieved, and said happily with a few beards on his chin: "This cannon is a good shot." Play the majesty of our Taiping Army and beat the morale! ”

Although the green battalion, which expected that the Taiping army in the city would open fire, had already made psychological preparations, they really waited for the cannon to come over, and saw that their companions around them were smashed by the cannon if they couldn't recruit them, and they couldn't help but tremble at that scene.

The corpses that were smashed so that they couldn't be seen, the wails of the seriously injured but not dead, and the slag of wood flying everywhere, connected to the severed arms and stumps, the charging green battalion soldiers immediately fell into chaos.

"Rush, rush!"

In the chaos. Some of the old officers of the Green Battalion shouted with their knives, and soon, some of the veterans passed the recruits who were still standing stupidly, and rushed towards the city like crazy.

Although the casualties caused by a few red cannons to the green battalion were large, they were nothing to the two thousand green battalion soldiers who charged, and it didn't take long for the adjusted battalion soldiers to continue to rush forward.

The artillery of the Taiping army at the head of the city was all fired, and no hands were spared. Xinhui City is built on the riverside plain, and the terrain in front of the east gate is a flat river. More than 2,000 green battalion soldiers concentrated here to storm the city wall, although it can achieve the effect of being outnumbered, but it is also heavy under the blow of artillery.

After the cannon rang out, there was a brass cannon dumb fire on the city. The stunned Han gunner looked at the two knifemen who raised their knives with a frightened face, and kept explaining, lest the knifemen who didn't know anything would slaughter themselves. If you really don't let it go, it won't say anything, but this cannon is really dumb. It's really wronged to land on this head.

There were many cannon shots, and the barrel of the cannon was red, and the medicine could not be released. Forcibly put it down, it is immediately a bomb. As a last resort, you can only carry water to cool down, and if the water is not enough, you will pee when you untie your pants, and after the gun chamber has cooled, you can carefully clean it with an iron hook before you can fire again

The east gate almost concentrated half of the artillery in the city, such a dense artillery bombardment made the green battalion soldiers besieging the city miserable, especially after rushing to the Lixu land, the scattered cannon suddenly smashed on the city was comparable to a ghost, and a cannon could harvest more than ten or twenty lives.

"Spread out! Disperse! Spread out! ”

After an officer of the Green Battalion found out that the city was firing a loose cannon, he was so frightened that he hurriedly ordered his men to disperse, otherwise they would die if they were hit by a cannon.

"Don't withdraw, don't withdraw!"

The green battalion soldiers who attacked the city this time are the first part of the Guangzhou Green Battalion and the green battalion under the jurisdiction of the Guangzhou Prefecture, the Guangzhou Green Battalion is okay, after all, it is the green battalion of the provincial city, and the courage is still quite there, and there are many veterans in it. However, many of the green battalion soldiers in the counties under the jurisdiction of Guangzhou Prefecture were newly recruited soldiers, and they had never seen the scene of capturing the city with artillery, and not long after the shelling, these new soldiers became frightened and began to run back subconsciously. However, after not running a few steps, he was overturned to the ground by the veterans who came up from behind, and then pulled them forward.

It's okay to run into veterans, but if you run into an officer, you will be stabbed directly. When this is kung fu, where do the officers care about human lives, and who does not have hundreds of lives on their hands, how can they show mercy to the deserters. If you really show mercy to your subordinates, the flag soldiers behind you are not blind, and they can have their own good afterwards!

Under the pressure of the officers' bullets, the battalion soldiers stopped retreating, and dispersed one after another under the officer's order, so that the artillery in the city fell a lot. Experienced officers judged the gap between the artillery firing in the city, and then rushed up while the artillery at the head of the city was busy changing the ammunition and reloading.

After paying hundreds of casualties, the Green Battalion rushed to the bottom of the city, less than a mile from the city walls. Seeing this, Zhou Shixiang ordered that the Hongyi cannon did not need to be adjusted, but only waited for the battle, and when he found that the Han army flag was up, he would immediately open fire, so as to cut off the connection between the Han army flag and the green battalion soldiers. In later generations, this method was to cut off the artillery fire, so that the enemy's forward and main forces could not be connected.

The Hongyi cannon can't hit it, but the other small cannons can. In the sound of "boom", dozens of small cannons hit the medicine under the city like rain. In the roaring cannon, iron balls shot towards the green battalion soldiers. The iron ball smashed to the ground, and instantly jumped up again, sweeping like a comet's tail, smashing the green battalion soldiers in front of him into puddles of mud. The iron ball jumps up and down on the battlefield, and every time it jumps, it is a human life. An iron ball was still in full swing, and when he jumped again, it slammed into the head of a battalion soldier behind him, and the iron ball was embedded in his head, and his brain flowed to the ground. An iron ball didn't know how to bounce, and it actually passed directly through the stomach of a battalion of soldiers, instantly taking away all the flesh and bones, revealing a large empty round hole "poof" bubbling with blood.

The officers of the green battalion under the city also did not care about the heavy casualties, and the scolding subordinates leaned under the city, and several shield carts took advantage of the chaos to rush to the city gate. Don't look at the close of those shield carts, it's hard to hit them.

Seeing that a shield cart was about to be pushed into the city gate hole by several battalion soldiers wearing double armor, the seven or eight Taiping soldiers on the city tower immediately lifted a boulder with great difficulty, and then smashed it downward. The shield cart could not avoid it, and when it was struck, it quickly split, and a piece of wood impartially struck a battalion soldier, and came out through the chest, and the battalion soldier struggled as if he was nailed there, but could not move.
