Wang Haiyang is now anxious in Dongcheng, restless, the fierce battle situation in Xicheng really makes him unable to relax, but he does not dare to leave Dongcheng without permission, fortunately, the current Hunan army and Huai army have not yet launched an attack, the war has been more than half a month, presumably the current Hunan army and Huai army are also a little tired. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

However, even so, Wang Haiyang did not dare to be careless, after all, the strength of the Hunan army and the Huai army under the city exceeded 50,000, close to 60,000, and the current Dongda Battalion is only more than 30,000 people, this is still because a force has withdrawn from the Nanda Battalion to Tianjing to assist in the defense of Tianjing, otherwise, the current Dongda Battalion has fewer troops.

Just when Wang Haiyang was in a hurry, a war horse galloped over, and a cavalryman jumped off the horse and said: "General, the Qing Demon firepower under Xicheng is too fierce, even if the city defense army has supported in the past, it will be difficult to withstand the attack of Xicheng, General Shang asks you to send an additional force to help Xicheng......"

Wang Haiyang frowned, and said in shock: "What? The city defense battalion plus the original city defense army, now the strength has exceeded 7,000 people, can't it suppress the Qing demon under the city? ”

The cavalry said astringently: "General, the opponent's firepower is too strong, in addition to artillery, they also have a large number of rockets to help, all the infantry are armed with Western rifles, the combat power is too strong, our firearms are too few, we can't stop the opponent's offensive at all......"

Wang Haiyang finally knows what it's like to ride a tiger, if he doesn't support Xicheng, it seems that Xicheng really can't support it for long, support? But what about Dongcheng? Now that the Huai army and the Hunan army seem to be quiet, who knows when they will launch a fierce attack? At this time, if the Qing Demon launched a fierce attack from the east and west at the same time, the capital would really be finished that day!

"General, you!"

The cavalry saw that Wang Haiyang did not move, and urged again!

"Wait and see, wait and see, I want to see the situation on both sides, send five cavalry to report the battle situation in Xicheng without interruption, and the main force of the Dongda Battalion will not move for the time being, to deal with the offensive of the Hunan army and the Huai army in Dongcheng!"

Wang Haiyang said in a deep voice, at this time, he didn't dare to be careless, and one wrong step would be the danger of the destruction of the whole army!

The five cavalrymen continued to report the movements of the West City from the West City to the East City, violent, fierce, tragic, and in danger! The news from Xicheng became more and more urgent every time, and the attacks of the Lu army were wave after wave, never stopping!

As for Dongcheng, Fang has just begun to attack, however, looking at the posture of this attack, it is slightly inferior to the past, although it also needs to be dealt with with with all its might, but it is not a big problem to block the attack of the Hunan army and the Huai army.

At this time, Wang Haiyang couldn't sit still anymore, if he didn't rush to the aid of Xicheng again, he was afraid that the city defense army in Xicheng would not be able to hold out for even a day, and the opponent's offensive firepower was too fierce!

"Order, mobilize the second brigade and the third brigade, gallop to the aid of Xicheng, and it is extremely necessary to repel the Qing demons in Xicheng! Then wait for the opportunity to return to the East City! Wang Haiyang finally gave the order, and the strength of the two brigades, combined with more than 10,000 people, rushed towards the west city of Tianjing City again.

At this time, Xicheng has gathered nearly 20,000 troops, blocking Xicheng tightly, Yan Chunyu wants to rely on the fast attack, lightning to take Xicheng, it is already impossible, the Taiping Army's strength is too strong, and it is much stronger than the original Northern Taiping Army!

The vanguard of the Lu army was hit back again by the dense bullets above the city, Yan Chunyu was so angry that he jumped to his feet and scolded his mother, but failure is failure, 20,000 troops, if you want to swallow it in one bite, where is it as easy as you imagined?

He Tengjiao shouted: "Spring rain, we can't attack hard like this, in this case, our battle losses are too bad, we still have to break through their city walls first, and then launch a large-scale attack, especially to blow up their city walls, we can directly launch a cavalry charge!" ”

Yan Chunyu said hatefully: "Do you think I don't want to keep that artillery bombardment?" However, we don't have many shells, less than a thousand shells! The shells are gone, what do we use to cover the charge of the army? ”

"I can't do so much now, we must first blast the walls of Tianjing open, so we can attack the city!"

He Tengjiao shouted.

Yan Chunyu stomped his feet, what a thing, now he only has to take one step at a time, "Order, the three artillery battalions will be pulled up for me again, attack!" Attack with all your might, aim at their walls, and fight me to the death! ”

The artillery fire of the Taiping army was fierce again.

At this moment, Dongcheng, Dongcheng!

Zeng Guofan and Li Hongzhang stood on a high place, saw the movement of troops in Nanjing City, and were overjoyed, "Haha, Shaoquan, our opportunity has come, give an order, concentrate all the artillery, and inevitably launch the most fierce attack from the east, don't spare the shells and bullets, dispatch our most elite foreign gun battalion, let the foreign gun team be the vanguard, rush me, we must break through the city defense of Dongcheng in the shortest possible time!" ”

"Wow!"

Li Hongzhang agreed, and happily went down to prepare.

Not for a long time, the Hunan army and the Huai army plus the Hunan army naval division, more than 100 large and small artillery, at the same time launched an attack on Tianjing City, cannonballs flew overwhelmingly towards the city, in the blink of an eye, hundreds of shells fell on the city, the city wall of Tianjing City was blown up miserably, even the Taiping army at the head of the city also issued a terrible roar, constantly being bombarded by the explosion into the sky!

Under the head of the city, the Hunan army and the Huai army pressed all the most elite foreign gun battalions in the entire legion, eight foreign gun battalions, plus the foreign gun team, with a strength of more than 4,000 people, and then launched a tidal attack towards the city under the cover of artillery fire!

Quiet as a virgin, moving as thunder!

Zeng Guofan is worthy of Zeng Guofan, either he doesn't do it, and once he does, he will give the Taiping Army a thunderous offensive!

Wang Haiyang originally thought that the Hunan army and the Huai army were exhausted, and it was difficult to have a large-scale offensive, at least it would take a day or two to delay, but he didn't expect that all of them were disguised, and this Zeng shaved head was too good at pretending to be garlic!

However, it is too late to understand by now!

"Order, defend the city, you must defend the city to the death!"

Wang Haiyang shouted loudly, but unlucky, Tianjing City fell last time, it was the most severely injured in the southeast, even if Shi Dakai presided over the repair of the Tianjing City Wall, there are still hidden wounds, now the Qing army and the Taiping Army have fought fiercely for more than ten days, the city wall has become not so stable, this time the Hunan army and the Huai army mobilized almost all the artillery that can be used to attack, all concentrated in the southeast corner, the dense firepower finally showed a huge power, and the southeast city wall collapsed a large area, It's a few feet wide!
