He Tengjiao left, Yan Chunyu calmed down, now the real sharp knife has been transferred from the artillery battalion to the cavalry, although on the water, the advantage of the cavalry can not be brought into play, but as long as the defense of Anqing City is lax and there is no artillery to suppress the formation, the cavalry will have a huge confidence to take Nancheng!

Anyway, it is difficult to take Beicheng in a day and a half of an attack, so it is better to save some shells. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Cai Dexing in the city was very suspicious, he attacked the Qing Demon who was so powerful yesterday, and he couldn't hold it for just one day? Or is there no more ammunition? Impossible, right? What the hell is the Qing Demon doing?

However, no matter what, the current Cai Dexing did not dare to relax his guard at all, and almost all the Taiping troops in the city were all waiting for the day, and they were ready for a bloody battle one by one.

Sure enough, Yan Chunyu kept the army resting until noon, and only then did he give the order to attack, all the artillery pulled up, and launched another fierce attack towards Anqing City, not only that, under the cover of artillery, Yan Chunyu pressed his first infantry battalion up, and launched a feint attack on the city wall of Anqing City, and hundreds of elite soldiers began to rush towards the city!

Cai Dexing's face changed immediately, and he finally began to charge, as long as the Qing Demon approached the city wall, it would be a life-and-death battle, and the Qing Demon must not be allowed to approach the city!

Cai Dexing gave an order, and all the foreign gun battalions under his command pressed to the top of the city, and began to shoot at the first battalion of the Lu army, but the first battalion was just a feint, just standing at a distance of three or four hundred meters, shooting, although the rifle in his hand could not help the Taiping army, but the Taiping army could not help them.

The two sides began an intensive exchange of fire under the city, Cai Dexing ignored an important thing, that is, the infantry of the Qing Demon could not threaten the lives of the Taiping soldiers, but the cannonballs flying in the sky did not have long eyes, and one shell after another hit the city wall, blowing up the city wall beyond recognition, as for the Taiping army on the city wall, the casualties were even heavier, and the corpses of the Taiping soldiers were already piled up inside and outside the city wall.

Cai Dexing's forehead was in a cold sweat, if he continued to fight like this, he could only be beaten passively, but in addition to being passively beaten, he had no other way, because he had no artillery assistance now, and could only rely on foreign guns to defend, and if the demons were not close to your range, what was the use of more foreign guns?

At this time, Yan Chunyu added another fire, seeing that the battle was stalemate, Yan Chunyu gave an order and pressed his second battalion up, not only that, but also pressed up with the remaining rocket company, the Qing army's attack was even more fierce, not only the cannon rumbled, the guns were intensive, and the rockets fired at the head of Anqing City were blazing, and the Taiping army in the entire northern city was beaten to a mess, with heavy casualties, and it took eight hundred casualties to die yesterday, and it took half a day today, The casualties of the Taiping Army were already close to 1,000, and the fierce firepower was beyond Cai Dexing's imagination!

Seeing that the Qing Demon was getting closer and closer, Cai Dexing shouted: "Come on, immediately mobilize troops from other directions, continue to defend the northern city, and absolutely can't let them climb to the top of the city, order, all the foreign gun battalions are mobilized here!" ”

In order to ensure the safety of the northern city, Cai Dexing had to make a deployment of additional troops, drawing troops from other cities, so that the troops in the northern city are strong enough, but the other cities, especially in the south, the troops will inevitably become weaker, one is that now the northern city is facing an emergency situation, and can only demolish the east wall to make up the west wall, and the second is that the southern city is now the safest area, and there is no need for a large number of troops to defend, there were originally less than 2,000 troops, and now after some transfer, there are only less than 1,000 troops left.

Beicheng, whose troops have been replenished, finally gradually stabilized its position, although it is still passive, but it is finally no longer suppressed and breathless.

It's just that Yan Chunyu definitely didn't dare to relax the intensity of his attack at this time, after all, He Tengjiao's surprise attack was about to begin.

Yan Chunyu said in a deep voice: "Order, the first battalion and the second battalion maintain the military pressure on the head of the city, the rocket company will advance another twenty zhang, the artillery battalion will adjust the direction of attack, and launch an all-out attack in the northeast direction, we must make a huge gap in the city wall, and tonight, Lao Tzu will launch a comprehensive general attack on the northern city!" ”

The soldiers of the second brigade all took action, and began to continuously strengthen the offensive intensity, Cai Dexing did not dare to let go of half a breath now, and has been standing inside the city wall to command the battle, a group of soldiers were killed and wounded, and then the second batch was replenished, now Cai Dexing's only hope is that the reinforcements will come as soon as possible, only when the reinforcements arrive, and the internal and external attacks can it be possible to repel the Qing Demon, and it is only to repel the opponent, the Qing Demon is too powerful, and it is not at all that his six or seven thousand people can defeat, Even if the Seventh Town can rush to the aid quickly, it may not be able to defeat the opponent!

The sky is gradually darkening, on the Yangtze River, a large ship is rapidly approaching in the direction of Anqing City, along the turbulent waves of the Yangtze River, the fleet seems more unstoppable!

He Tengjiao stood coldly on the bow of the ship, attacking, success or failure in one fell swoop, I hope that the current defense of Nancheng is not as strong as imagined.

When the fleet came to the city of Anqing, it was completely dark.

It's time.

"Send an order to all departments, immediately prepare to attack and take Nancheng!"

He Tengjiao gave the order to attack, the temporary command ship, the sailor waved the lantern, instead of the military order, the rocket company took the lead in launching an attack on the south city of Anqing Mansion, a rocket rose into the air, straight to the head of Anqing City, in an instant, the fire was raging, the flames were churning, and dozens of rockets made the south city also fall into chaos.

The Taiping army did not expect that the Qing army would go straight downstream, and launched an attack on Anqing from the Yangtze River, the current Nancheng is only less than a thousand troops, not a single artillery, now even if there is useless, almost all the shells of the entire Taiping army have been consumed, and the foreign gun battalion has been all transferred to the northern city, leaving only two infantry battalions equipped with bird guns and broadswords and spears to stay, how can such an army threaten He Tengjiao's main force?

When the defender Xu Maoshan saw the sudden attack, he was stunned and attacked! The Raid of the Demons!

"Quick, quick, arrow! Use a bow and arrow to suppress the attack of the Qing Demon for me, come and send a message to General Cai immediately, the Qing Demon raided Nancheng and asked for support! ”

Cai Dexing commanded the defenders to deploy on the one hand, and on the other hand, he ordered someone to ask Cai Dexing for help, but obviously it was too late, and the rear was a rocket company to suppress the firepower, the power of this Congreve rocket was not comparable to the bow and arrow in the hands of the Taiping army, and the lethality brought by the flame was much greater than that of the bow and arrow!
