Chapter 906 Battle of Guangzhou

February fifteenth.

This is a day with clear skies and bright spring. If it is in Qingzhou, it is still a bit cold in this season, but here, the climate is still warm and pleasant.

On the third day after the Hu Ben Army and the Shenji Army converged, the two, who had recovered from the exhaustion of the long march, issued a general attack on Guangzhou City.

At this time, with the continuous support of the new army, the number of soldiers outside the city of Guangzhou reached 170,000, and the number of field battles also reached 700.

"Seven hundred field guns, three hundred mortars, this is enough for them to drink a pot." Luo Xin was elated, he was good at commanding artillery, and for him now was the best opportunity to take advantage of artillery fire.

Lu Fei said: "The business council of Guangzhou City is basically over. Now that the ammunition is sufficient, you can use the artillery as you want."

Luo Xin's eyes flickered with excitement. There are not many soldiers equipped with firearms in Guangzhou now, and they are all recruits. For them, these soldiers have no combat effectiveness at all.

And the people who were bewitched by the Qinglong King were even more cannon fodder.

"It's time to end this farce."

Luo Xin said in a solemn voice, and then he began to deploy field guns and mortars. In order to achieve the effect of destroying the enemy in one hit, he did not choose to shell on all sides at the same time this time.

Instead, he concentrated all the field guns and mortars in front of the north gate of Guangzhou City. Now that Guangzhou City is surrounded by water, he is not worried that they will escape.

In one morning, a thousand artillery pieces were assembled for the field battle and mortars. Following Luo Xin's order, the Battle of Guangzhou City officially started at one o'clock in the afternoon.

"Boom boom boom..." Amidst the sound of artillery shells that shook the world, shells like raindrops fell on the city wall to the north of Guangzhou City.

In an instant, the city wall was covered by a sea of ​​fire, the bricks and stones were shattered, and flesh and blood flew.

"Boom boom boom..."

After the first round of shelling, the second round of shelling followed, as if the parliamentary army soldiers who had walked in a circle in hell fell into terror again.

Then came the third and fourth time, when the smoke cleared and after the four rounds of shelling, less than 40% of the parliamentary army soldiers survived on the city wall, and the artillery they built was basically destroyed.

"I want to go home, I want to go home!"

On the city wall of Guangzhou, a parliamentary soldier collapsed. The hellish experience made him run down regardless of anything. The soldiers who survived looked numbly at the densely covered corpses on the city wall. This was not a war, but a massacre.

The screams of the soldiers made their hearts tighten one by one. After the first soldier collapsed, the remaining soldiers also fled the battlefield desperately.

In the city of Guangzhou, the people under the command of King Qinglong looked terrified, and the huge explosion from the north made their hearts go to their throats.

And the next bloody rout made them even more worried.

"Hurry up and run for your life, you can't win, you can't win..." a soldier shouted sternly, but his words stopped abruptly, and a general's knife pierced the soldier's heart.

With the blood dripping out of the knife, the general ordered: "Go forward, don't you want to get the land, don't you want to pay grain from now on? The royal army is outside the city, as long as we win, we will have everything."

"Come on!" some desperadoes in the crowd shouted, the immediate interests made them forget their fear, and they shouted and went north.

Outside the city, the royal soldiers were sitting leisurely in the trenches, waiting for the shelling to end.

Now they are very confident.

"Boom boom boom..."

After a short pause, the roar of the artillery sounded again, and the entire artillery position was filled with fire and smoke.

The city walls of Guangzhou City gradually appeared to be crumbling after being continuously bombarded by cannonballs like raindrops.

Seeing this, Luo Xin urged the artillery to continue shelling. Finally, after the seventeenth round of shelling, the city wall in the north of Guangzhou collapsed, and the soldiers of the Qinglong King also arrived at the city.

The sudden collapse made many soldiers confused, but something more terrifying than the city wall happened next, and they realized for the first time what artillery bombardment was.

The soldiers hadn't recovered yet, and a dense shell of artillery fell right beside them.

The shrapnel flew, the air waves rolled, and the soldiers of the Qinglong King suffered heavy casualties in an instant. These soldiers were ordinary people who farmed the land, and they had never experienced such a terrible war.

Looking at their fallen companions, they cried and ran away, and at this moment, a terrible news came suddenly.

"Everyone, don't fight, the Qinglong King ran away, the Cao family and his son ran away, and our money was taken away by them, now they just leave us to die, don't resist, otherwise you will just give away your lives in vain. ."

The person who spoke was Lin Youde, and now the members of the council in the city found that the father and son of the Cao family and the Qinglong King no longer had a fried pot in the city.

Hearing this news, he immediately spread the news, and this was the time when the hearts of the parliamentary army were disturbed.

Sure enough, as soon as the news came out, the soldiers were immediately in an uproar, they fought because of their belief in the Blue Dragon King of the Merchant Council, and they now shamelessly abandoned them.

"Mother, let us die, but they ran away, and the brothers stopped fighting." A general scolded fiercely.

"The Merchant Council is a bunch of liars. They lied to us and we have nothing now."

"Kill them!"

"..."

Words of indignation came out of the soldiers' mouths. Instead of rushing to the front, they took up arms and rushed towards the parliamentary station.

At this time, Lin Youde was dressed as an ordinary soldier. When he saw this, he showed a smile. As long as Guangzhou was in chaos, they would be able to reduce casualties.

And when the angry soldiers rushed into the station and found that the Cao family and their sons, the Qinglong King was really gone, even more chaos appeared, and the soldiers began to shoot at the parliament within the parliament.

For them, now just want to vent their anger.

At the same time, when the Guangzhou city wall collapsed, Lu Fei gave the order to charge.

The royal soldiers took their bayonet-mounted falcon rifles and poured into Guangzhou City like a flood. Facing the chaotic Guangzhou City, they quickly controlled the situation.

Those civilians and soldiers who saw the royal soldiers rushing over immediately chose to surrender, and the royal army's attack went very smoothly, and there was basically no resistance.

Luo Xin and Lu Fei entered the city after the city was broken. When they saw Lin Youde walking towards them, the two got off their horses and said with a smile, "Lin Youde, you are still alive."

"How could I die before the Merchant Council was eliminated?" Lin Youde laughed.

He knew the two of them before the hidden merchant council. At that time, Li San brought him to meet with people in the army, just for today.
