Han’s Son is Not a Slave

The great defeat outside the city made the people of Guangxi, who had been watching the battle at the head of Wuzhou City, start to tremble with fear. The Han army and the green camp were slaughtered by the Taiping army, but there was nothing they could do.

The inspector Xu Wenxiu was ruthless and wanted to take the few thousand battalions remaining in the city out of the city to rescue the defeated army, and cooperated with the commander Dai Liangchen and other troops to return to the city, but those battalions dared to leave the city. Xu Wenxiu believed that there must be brave men under the heavy reward, but the battalion soldiers were not at all moved by the box of silver in front of them. The money is good, but you have to take it with your life. It was so bad outside the city that they didn't kill many people.

The soldiers in the city did not dare to leave the city, and the soldiers outside the city were defeated again. Dong Yingkui even thought of his own fate after the city was broken. Zhang Zichang and others might be able to save their lives and surrender the Ming army, but he was born in the Han army with a yellow flag and fell in Can the Ming army have any good in the hands?

Zhang Suoyang was also born in the Han army. He was very scared at the moment, but he was not as desperate as Dong Yingkui. Instead, he gritted his teeth and pulled Zu Zeshu, the son of Zu Dashou and the prefect of Wuzhou, down the city, and seized the time to mobilize the whole city. The people went to the city to help defend. Now there are more than a thousand battalions in the city. If young men and women are not organized to defend the city, once the Taiping forces attack the city, there will be enough troops in the city to defend. In order to get the people to contribute, Zhang Suoyang and Zu Zeshuo sent people to spread the word everywhere in the city that the Taiping army was bandits, and they would massacre the city after entering the city. Under their deceit and intimidation, the people in the city had to organize young people to go to the city to help guard, so that thousands of people could be added to the city head.

Outside the city, the Taiping army completely annihilated the defeated Qing army as if it were destructive. In the evening, the Taiping army finally withdrew its troops. In the end, only the Han army commanded Dai Liangchen's troops and some remnants of the green battalion, adding up to nothing. to two thousand people.

The Guilin army under Li Bensheng's command from Cangwu Road was wiped out, and his whereabouts were unknown in the chaotic army. Generals such as Zhang Jizeng, the military guard of Xunzhou, Tian Shenglong, the Liuzhou defender, and Liu Guangen, the deputy general of Nanning, were also killed in action. The soldiers they brought were also killed and wounded by the Taiping Army.

The victorious Taiping army did not immediately attack the city, but began to clear the battlefield, and forced the prisoners to start digging trenches. Judging from the posture, it seemed that they were planning to besiege Wuzhou for a long time, which made the Qing army on the city's head relieved. They are not afraid that the Taiping army will besiege Wuzhou City for a long time, because the food in the city is enough for them to defend for the first half of the year. How can the reinforcements arrive in this half year. They were only afraid that the Taiping army would take advantage of the victory to attack and would not give Wuzhou any respite.

Dai Liangchen, the general commander of the Han army, didn't see it that way. He looked at the Taiping army who was cleaning up the battlefield with torches in the dark, and at the defeated soldiers who were desperately digging the soil with the shovels given by the Taiping army, and his heart sank to the bottom of the valley. He did not believe that the generals of the Taiping Army outside the city would be foolish, and they would make plans for a long-term siege after the heavy damage to the main force of the Qing army in Wuzhou, because their purpose from Guangdong was to save King Qin and rescue the emperor of the Ming Dynasty in the southwest. Time is very precious to them. So they don't waste their time on sieges at all, so they must have other intentions for driving their captives to dig trenches. But what was the purpose of this, Dai Liangchen had no idea for a while.

Ma Xiong's death made Dai Liangchen the highest general in Wuzhou City. Although there were two political envoys in the city, they were civil officials, so the city defense of Wuzhou could only be under the responsibility of Dai Liangchen. Dai Liangchen's only hope now is that the governor of Guilin, Chen Weixin, can send reinforcements immediately after receiving the defeat in Wuzhou. . In this way, the war in Guangxi can still be stalemate. As long as the Taiping Army can block the road to King Qin, the Yunnan side can decide the winner within half a year. As long as Zhu Youlang is captured, the Taiping Army will be defeated if it is not defeated. .

On the other hand, if the Taiping army captures Wuzhou, the whole province of Guangxi will collapse, because in order to defend the important town of Wuzhou, Ma Xiong has drawn 70% of the remaining troops in Guangxi. If Wuzhou falls, the rest of Guangxi will not have enough strength to stop it. The Taiping army marched westward. After acquiring Wuzhou, the gateway to Guangxi, the Taiping army could either directly attack Guilin by land, or attack Xunzhou and Nanning by water. After the Taiping army occupied Guangxi, they could use Guangxi Shufu as a springboard to appear directly behind the Qing army entering Yunnan. As a result, the war in Yunnan would change.

Dai Liangchen has not yet figured out how many troops of the Taiping Army Qin Wang's soldiers are, but only from the combat effectiveness shown by the vanguard soldiers outside the city, even if the main force of the Taiping Army Qin Wang is only 20,000 to 30,000 people, Yunnan will be defeated. The war has unpredictable consequences.

The Taiping Army is really capable of fighting, but no matter how capable they are, Dai Liangchen will have to bite the bullet and keep defending, Wuzhou must not be lost!

At dawn the next day, Dai Liangchen's worries came to pass. The Taiping army really did not plan to besiege for a long time, but immediately organized a siege.

......

Qi Hao, the commander of the gun town, personally directed the artillery attack on Wuzhou City, and the navy on the Xijiang also transported the Folang cannon on the ship to the shore, and drove the prisoners to push the cannons weighing several thousand kilograms to the bottom of the city little by little. The captured Qing army gunners were all picked up by the Taiping Army. Whether they wanted to or not, they had to fire at their comrades in the city at the moment when the long knife was on their necks.

Hundreds of large and small artillery pieces were lined up along the trenches dug by the prisoners last night. The gunners set up the cannons, constructed civil works, and pointed the black muzzles at the city head. The tool was measured against the city head, and finally the gunner was ordered to shoot the first shot of the test.

With the sound of "Boom", the roar of artillery shells sounded at the head of Wuzhou City, which shocked the Qing troops in the city.

Dai Liangchen's face was also extremely ugly. The Taiping Army had too many artillery pieces. I really don't know where they got so many artillery pieces. The dark muzzle of that door is really numb to look at.

After the test firing, the artillery of the Taiping Army began a total artillery attack on Wuzhou City. All the guns were shot out, and the auxiliary gunners carried the solid iron **** back and forth.

The continuous roaring has not stopped. Cannonballs continue to fall on the city head, overturning the Qing soldiers hiding behind the parapet, or smashing the battlements into pieces with a bang. Iron bullets hit the city wall one by one, making the Qing troops standing on the top of the city a little unstable, and they could clearly feel the vibration from the city wall.

The Taiping army's artillery attack did not kill many Qing troops, because the shells were completely fired at the city wall, but no matter how many casualties these guns caused to the Qing army, it was a great blow to their morale. Those young men who were hastily pulled up to the city were so frightened that they couldn't stand or squat, and ran around on the top of the city. They only felt that the city was crumbling, as if it might collapse at any time.

There are also artillery pieces on the top of Wuzhou City, and after being shelled by the Taiping Army ~www.NovelMTL.com~ the Qing army also began to fire back. Although the number of artillery pieces was not as large as that of the Taiping Army, and the momentum was not as strong as that of the Taiping Army, the artillery fired from the city still gave the Qing army a trace of comfort and inexplicable hope.

The soldiers of the Second Town who participated in the siege were all squatting in the trenches dug last night, letting the guns above their heads jump around. Not a single unfortunate person was hit, and gradually the Qing army in the city finally figured out why the Taiping army was digging those trenches. The gunners of the Qing army also wanted to hit the cannonball directly into the trench, but they could operate it, but none of the cannonballs could fall.

With a "Boom", a large iron ball smashed from under the city to the center of a cannon on the city. Under the huge blow, the cannon immediately flipped up and rolled in the air for a few times, and then smashed into an unlucky man. On the gunner of the Qing army, he separated his upper body and lower body at once. The unfortunate gunner screamed and tried to climb out from under the gun body, but he couldn't crawl. In the eyes of the companion, it is another scene, a hapless guy with a broken body crawling out...

Dai Liangchen hid behind the battlements, his face was covered with traces of gunpowder smoke, surrounded by a few unfortunate soldiers and young men. Suddenly, a gap in the parapet wall was blown up. A Qing soldier didn't even have time to snort, and fell to the ground, his blood was blurred. Looking closely, he found that the lower limbs of the Qing soldier did not know what to do. At the place, the intestines rolled out and were pressed by the gravel, and the scene was particularly terrifying. (To be continued.) To find this site, please search for "" or enter the URL:
