Stealing joy is stealing, Li Yuanhong still let the two firepower points not shoot just in case, and he is also worried that this is the Liaodong Army testing his firepower.

Since the war with the Liaodong Army during this time, he has learned one of the biggest things, that is, once the Liaodong Army discovers a firepower point, the shells will explode on the position as if they don't need money, and they will not let go until the soil has been renovated.

"Hit." Seeing the Liaodong Army approaching, Li Yuanhong waved his arms violently, and the braids on his back were thrown in front of him with huge strength.

Tata Tower. Tata Tower. The light and heavy weapons in the hands of the Qing army on the city wall suddenly opened fire, and immediately knocked down a lot of the Liaodong army that was still running just now.

No, it doesn't seem to be testing his firepower, but to attack, Li Yuanhong saw that one of the Liaodong troops below who were not dying, and the other immediately stepped forward and lifted the ladder and rushed up.

Where is this testing firepower, Li Yuanhong swallowed a mouthful of saliva at once, he can't let the Liaodong Army get close to the city wall, once the Liaodong Army gets close, the bombs in the hands of those soldiers will be thrown over like rain, not to mention hand-to-hand combat, his troops will be killed a lot.

"Immediately give the order to open fire, and be sure to block the attack of the Liaodong Army." Li Yuanhong turned his head to look at the senator who was standing beside him and gave an order.

In the bunker in the distance, Luo Dacheng watched the troops being knocked to the ground like wheat,

"Lao Wang, Lao Feng, what are you going to do?" The attack is blocked, and you still don't give the order to withdraw, what are you going to do? He punched the sandbag on the bunker, turned his head and questioned the two men who were holding up their pens in front of the map.

Wang Shizhen and Feng Guozhang turned their heads to look at Luo Dacheng, and smiled slightly, "No, give up the attack now and let the soldiers withdraw, then the sacrifice of the war will be worthless."

There is no value, could it be that these two guys did it on purpose Luo Dacheng heard the two of them say this, and raised the telescope again. Observe the attacking troops in the distance.

Strange, the troops attacking like this are scattered so widely, and there are only 1,000 people at most, and with a slight bow, Luo Dacheng suddenly understood that these two **** people were using more than 1,000 people to test Xingtai's firepower.

Paralyzed, these two bastards actually came up with this immoral move, but if you want to take Xingtai quickly, if you want to reduce the sacrifice of the reduction of the attack for a while, you can only do this.

Tata Tower. Xingtai's firepower suddenly increased a lot.

With a snap, Wang Shizhen threw down the pen in his hand at once, and then quickly came to Luo Dacheng's side, picked up the binoculars from the sandbag, and began to observe the direction of the fire exposure on the city wall on the Xingtai side.

"Immediately stop the offensive, and the armies return to their positions." Wang Shizhen put down the telescope in his hand and immediately issued an order.

Dididi. The withdrawal horn of the Liaodong Army suddenly sounded over Didi Xingtai.

There was an uproar, and as soon as the troops who had not ordered the attack just now heard this order, they immediately threw down the ladder and turned around like a tide.

Strange, why did he retreat all of a sudden, Li Yuanhong's eyes widened, looking at the Liaodong Army, which was now faster than a rabbit, and he was puzzled.

"It's strange, why did the Liaodong Army withdraw? The staff on one side agreed to voice their doubts.

No, no, there must be a problem there, Li Yuanhong gambled on his head, he didn't believe that the Liaodong Army would retreat so easily.

"It's not good, get out of here." Thinking about something, Li Yuanhong roared loudly.

The surrounding Qing troops were petrified on the spot at once, and they didn't understand what their commander was going to say.

"If you don't retreat, you want to be blown up to the sky." When Li Yuanhong saw where the soldiers were still crawling, he immediately stomped his feet in anger.

He figured it out, this Liaodong Army was testing its own firepower, if he didn't guess wrong, immediately Liaodong's artillery would start shelling, once that time, this arranged firepower point, even if it was not all blown up, I am afraid it would have to take off a layer of skin.

"Go."

Boom, Li Yuanhong didn't have what he wanted, and an earth-shattering voice suddenly sounded, which suddenly scared the words in his mouth back.

Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, he looked at the white smoke in the distance, this sound he was familiar with, it was this kind of sound that blew up Neiqiu City in one shot, and now this terrible sound sounded again, how not to frighten him.

Rumble...... There was a loud bang, followed by a wail of wounded soldiers, and when he turned his head to look, Li Yuanhong found that the artillery he had arranged on the east wall had now disappeared without a trace, and the shells had blown up the battlements and bunkers on the city wall.

"Withdraw, retreat, dodge shelling." Li Yuanhong looked dispached, let out an earth-shattering roar, turned around and ran down the city wall, and returned to the prefect's yamen. After dodging this terrible shelling, they are blocking it.

Outside the city, the artillery positions of the Liaodong Army. The surrounding field artillery was constantly firing shells at Xingtai.

"Reloaded." In front of the huge howitzer, the artilleryman gave a notice after stuffing the shell into the chamber.

Mom, here it is again, as soon as Luo Dacheng heard this, he immediately covered his ears with his hands.

He knew how powerful this kind of cannon was when fired, not only would the surrounding soil be shaken, but it would also emit a ball of flames that could shine a fiery red flame around it, and dry the surrounding grass.

"Put."

There was a clang, followed by a clang, and the sound of the cartridge casings exiting the chamber.

"My mother." Luo Dacheng still praised this cannon constantly.

"Concentrate artillery fire and bombard the east gate." Ten minutes later, Wang Shizhen saw that Xingtai's firepower point had almost been blown up, and immediately began to give a heartfelt order.

This howitzer can be loaded with two kinds of shells, one is a scatter shell, and one is an armor-piercing projectile, which is a kind of artillery shell designed by the Arthur Ordnance Bureau according to the naval armor-piercing projectile to bombard the city wall.

The order was quickly issued, and the howitzer, which was still shooting scattered shells just now, was suddenly replaced with huge armor-piercing shells.

There was a bang, and a sharp sound began to smash Xingtai in the distance.

Tokyo, Japan, Prime Minister's Office, Hirobumi Ito's face is now haggard. kept sighing out the window, what he didn't expect was that his once most powerful assistant Inoue Xin would now become his competitor and compete with him for the prime minister's position.

originally thought that Inoue Xin was joking with himself, but during this period of time, Inoue Xin has been constantly walking around the military and political officials, faintly suppressing his momentum, which made him have to let go of the Liaodong side and deal with Inoue Xin with all his might.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, Minister Inoue Shin is here." An attendant in a black suit walked away, carefully reporting.

"Nope." As soon as he heard that it was Inoue Xin, Ito Hirobumi was immediately angry, and now he and Inoue Xin are political enemies, it would be good not to fight, and he still wants to see this bastard thing.

"Why don't you go?" Seeing that the guards were still not leaving, Ito Hirobumi suddenly slapped the table next to him.

"The prime minister gave it, and Minister Inoue Xin said that there was something urgent."

Fart, hypocrisy, Hirobumi Ito hates this kind of thing on the surface and on the back the most.

"No, no, no." Ito waved his hand without asking.

He definitely didn't want to see Inoue Xin.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, I know that you don't want to see me, but I still come uninvited." Before the guards could go out, Inoue Xin picked up a document in her hand and walked in.

"Whoever told you to come in, get out." When Hirobumi Ito saw that it was Inoue Xin, he didn't know any etiquette, and some of them were a kind of hatred and smoke for Inoue Xin.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, I am also forced to do so." Inoue Xin looked at Hirobumi Ito and shook her head helplessly.

"You have something to do. I trust you so much, you actually snatch the prime minister from me. The more Ito spoke, the more angry he became, and he suddenly slammed the table.

Seeing Ito Hirobumi so excited, Inoue Xin immediately swallowed a mouthful of saliva, to be honest, he didn't want to be a prime minister, because he knew what kind of goods he was. It's not the material to be prime minister. He did it for a reason and a purpose, and now that that that purpose had been achieved, he was able to tell why.

Taking a deep breath, Inoue Shin stepped forward, he planned to tell Hirobumi Ito the reason today.
