The first town of the main force of the Taiping Army, under the command of the town general Ge Yi, gathered from three directions to the foot of Ji'an City. At the same time, the fifteenth town and Xinyi town also began to attack the remaining three gates of Ji'an. Originally, according to the pre-war deployment of the fifteenth town and the new one town, it was only an assist to contain the Ji'an defenders. The main attack direction was still the south gate, and the first town was in charge. However, after the battle started, the general of Xinyi Town, Wang Fuchen, sent Pegasus to Zhou Shixiang for orders, requesting that the assist be changed to the main attack. Zhou Shixiang readily agreed and ordered Dong Changqing to revise the military order. This order, coupled with the fact that the military commander's office has just awarded the military merit award system, all the generals in the towns do not want to be awarded the title for the first meritorious merit, so everyone is brave, and the fighting spirit is high.

The four gates were attacked at the same time, and the Qing army immediately felt the pressure. Zhou Shixiang ordered the artillery to push forward the fast-moving tiger squat cannons and various light bronze cannons to suppress the Ji'an Qing army with fierce artillery fire. The Qing army was also desperate, Liu Guangbi, Yang Wenyuan and others brought all the equipment that could be used to defend the city to the top of the city. The large pot was boiled with hot oil and the dung juice was boiled and splashed, and as soon as the Taiping army came up, they fell down the city, scalding them to the death.

The first town was approaching the city wall, and the descending troops received the order to retreat, and they suddenly felt amnesty, but they knew that they could not attack the Taiping army from the front.

The artillery of the Qing army was basically muted, and now it is the artillery of the Taiping army that is roaring. Watching the red ocean under the city approaching the city wall little by little, the Qing army was extremely nervous.

The commander-in-chief Yang Wenyuan held the saber tightly in his right hand, and did not dare to gasp for breath. He stared straight at the oppressing Taiping army, as if he had not heard the stench of golden juice boiled in the cauldron behind him. The same is true of the Qing soldiers around, everyone stared straight at the Taiping army, but their faces were pale and bloodless. Some archers had deep marks on their hands because of the tight bowstrings. The young and strong are also pale, and everyone is afraid, but they grit their teeth and stick to their posts. Some people even imagined that when the hairy thief climbed the city, he could get away with killing one person, so that he could go to the Admiral's silver box to catch the silver.

To the surprise of the Qing army, after the Taiping army attacking the south gate approached, it did not flood the city like the descending troops, but formed square formations under the city under the guidance of the sound of drums and suonas. .

The Qing army did not understand what the Taiping army was doing, and their eyes were full of confusion, but they soon figured out what the Taiping army was going to do.

"Prepare, let go!"

Following the officer's order, more than 3,000 gunmen in the first town aimed their guns on the city and fired the guns in their hands. Row after row of soldiers took turns firing, and the lead was overwhelming. The sound of lead bullets flying over the entire city wall was everywhere, and the city wall was also hit with a "bang". The Qing army in the city was not guarded at first, and was swept away by the dense guns. Later, they realized that there was no one else in the city, and they were all lying down to avoid the guns.

The Qing army was all aggrieved. The Taiping army did not attack the city, but only suppressed the city's head with dense fire cannons, so that they did not dare to lift their heads. What about killing the enemy.

Yang Wenyuan, the commander of Ji'an, had never experienced this kind of play, and he panicked for a while. When he reacted and wanted to look into the Taiping army's movements, a shot shot hit him on top of the red cherry, which shook his helmet and made him startled again. shrink back.

The 300 soldiers who are equipped with the latest flintlock guns in the first town are all veteran gunners in the military. Compared with arquebuses that are not very good at aiming and have a slower rate of fire, these flintlock guns are not only easy to use, but also easy to use. And the power is huge, the only regret is that the medicine loading has not been improved, but the overall is much stronger than the arquebus previously used.

300 flintlock guns aimed at an area at the head of the city, with a team of 100 people, shooting continuously. Such intensive firepower, although the Qing army on the city had the cover of the city wall, but also killed and injured a lot of people, and even had a feeling of being crushed and unable to lift their heads. That feeling is like not being able to breathe in the water, it is so depressing that one's heart skips a beat, and it makes one want to go mad.

With a sound of "Boom", Liu Guangbi, who was standing on the central tower with a solid big iron bullet, fell down with a "squeak", so frightened that Liu Guangbi hurriedly ordered his own soldiers to raise the flag again. Otherwise, it would be an extremely heavy blow to the morale of the defenders.

After Liu Guangbi fought, Jin Tiancong fought with the Eight Banners during his years. He had never seen the Ming army with such powerful firearms. Very uncomfortable. At the same time, he also secretly admires that the thief scholar is indeed well-deserved. No wonder King Pingnan Shang Kexi, King Geng Jimao of Jingnan, Prince Jian Jidu, General Luo Tuo of Jingnan, and Admiral Xian Guoan of Guangxi could not beat him, even Hu Wensheng died. Not wrong. With such combat power and such tactics, who is the strongest soldier in the world?

At the same time of admiration, it is even more hated. Since the revolt of the refugees in the Chongzhen years, the world has been in chaos for 30 years. Now, the pseudo-ming Zhu Youlang has finally abandoned the country. At the time of recovery, this thief and talented man came out of nowhere, causing the situation to change drastically.

Liu Guangbi gritted his teeth, wishing he could swallow the thief Xiucai alive, but at the moment, he was trapped in the tower and unable to move.

When the Qing army at the southern gate was pinned to the city's head and could not move, the Taiping army's offensive in the other three gates became more and more intense, and the Qing army suffered heavy casualties. send. With the passage of time, the gunners of the Taiping Army also became familiar with the shots, and the guns hit more and more accurately. Some soldiers jumped out to avoid the stones dropped by the cannonballs, but as soon as their heads came out, they were beaten with blood by gunshots under the city.

Liu Guangbi, Yang Wenyuan and the others couldn't accept the huge casualties. No matter how many young men died, they didn't care because they could be added at any time. As long as there are people in Ji'an City, they are not afraid that they will not be recruited. However, the losses of those veterans cannot be supplemented, especially the Guardsmen, these are their survival costs, and if they are defeated, they will be lost.

Liu Guangbi's heart twitched violently. At first, he expected to use young soldiers to consume the Taiping army's firearms, deplete their strength, and then use his direct line of commanders to inflict heavy losses on them, but the Taiping army only relied on powerful firearms to suppress the city. The fighting method of not attacking the city made him unable to use it powerfully.

The sound of guns and guns kept ringing, as if it would never stop. God knows where the long-haired thief got so many guns and medicines.

Liu Guangbi had a feeling of madness, as if he was going to torture people, but he didn't want to finish the torture in one go. Scraping his flesh to the bone, until he was scraped to death.

There were young men in the city who couldn't stand the oppression of being beaten and began to flee in the city. The Qing army immediately suppressed it. Yang Wenyuan's personal soldiers fell, and dozens of people fell to the ground. Those young men were panicked and did not dare to flee to the city. They squatted there against the city wall.

No matter how fierce the guns and guns of the Taiping Army fought, as long as they did not attack the city, the city would not be lost. After the Taiping army fought for a while, some people in the Qing army were secretly relieved and felt that the Taiping army was very stupid. These idiots don't take advantage of this to seize the city, they just randomly shoot guns there, how many medicines are available. When the medicine is finished, you still have to clamber to seize the city. At that time, the defenders will also come back to their senses. With the eighteen weapons, how many lives will you have to fill?

There are not a few Qing army generals who have this idea, and Liu Guangbi also thinks so, but they don't know that a group of soldiers with red sleeves in the Taiping Army under the city has been carrying square-shaped objects wrapped in silk and got into the city gate hole. .

Zhou Shixiang stared at the South Gate with a telescopic mirror, waiting for the loud noise. Soon, a loud bang came, and the city gate cave was filled with black smoke, and the heavy city gate was blown away.

"The city gate is broken!"

The Qing army was shocked, and the young men who were waiting for life under the city were terrified. Liu Guangbi was shocked. He ignored the cannons and guns flying above his head. He leaned on the wall and looked down at the city. The Taiping army has poured into the city gate.

As soon as the south gate was broken, the Qing army was in chaos. Liu Guangbi, Yang Wenyuan and others hurriedly led the army to drive out the Taiping army that had invaded the city. Thousands of young men under the city were urged by the Qing army to fill the city gate, but they could not stop the Taiping army rushing in. Some young people were eager to escape, and at this juncture, they directly took up their weapons and fought with the Qing army who had pressed them.

When this happened, Liu Guangbi knew that it was broken. He could no longer control the situation in the city~www.readwn.com~ Before the Taiping army completely captured the southern city, he led his personal soldiers to the north gate, trying to take advantage of the situation from there. Ran rushed to escape to Jishui. But before he reached the North Gate, a bunch of defeated soldiers from the North City retreated head-on. Don't ask, the North Gate was also lost.

Liu Guangbi felt that the world was spinning, and he had nowhere to go in a hurry. He led the remaining personal soldiers in the middle of the city like a bereaved dog and rushed to the west. In the end, he was surrounded by the Taiping army and set it on fire in a private house.

The chief soldier Yang Wenyuan led the troops to fight bravely after the city was broken, and later retreated into the government office with the prefect Lu Guoxiao and others. Yang Wenyuan knew that he had no reason to live, so he was very crazy, and he fought to the death without retreating. In the end, he was captured alive by the Taiping Army, tied to the government office and beheaded in the street. The prefect Lu Guoxiao, Tongzhi Tu Wenjun, magistrate Liu Tongying and other Ji'an officials and their families were executed by the Taiping army. When the Taiping army entered the city, they walked along the streets and alleys, going from house to house to search the Qing soldiers and young soldiers. Once found, the soldiers were immediately killed, and the young and strong were pulled out of the city. They planned to arrest and kill more than 4,000 Qing soldiers and more than 20,000 young soldiers. That night, the Taiping Army divided the young and strong into several battalions, and executed three of them by slaughtering a small one, killing more than 6,000 young and strong. The next day, Zhou Shixiang ordered all the big gentry and their families in the city to be escorted out of the city, and more than 1,560 people, together with the old and the weak, were all driven to drown in the river.

The search in the city continued for three days, killing nearly 20,000 gentry and Qing soldiers.
