Chapter 910: Battle of Guangzhou

February 15th.
This is a sunny day with a sunny sky and bright spring. If it were in Qingzhou, it would be a bit cold in this season, but here, the climate is still warm and pleasant.
On the third day after the confluence of the Huben Army and the Shenji Army, the two who had been exhausted from the long march issued a general attack on Guangzhou City.
At this time, coupled with the continuous support of the new army, the number of soldiers outside Guangzhou has reached 170,000, and the number of field fears has reached 700.
"Seven hundred field guns, three hundred mortars, this is enough for them to drink a pot." Luo Xin was excited, he is good at commanding artillery, and now is the best opportunity for him to take advantage of artillery.
Lu Fei said: "The merchant council is basically over after taking down Guangzhou City. Now that there is enough ammunition, you can use the artillery as you want."
There was a light of excitement in Luo Xin's eyes. There are not many soldiers equipped with firearms in Guangzhou now, and they are all recruits. For them, these soldiers do not have much combat effectiveness.
The people who bewitched by the Azure Dragon King are even more cannon fodder.
"It's time to end this farce."
Luo Xin said in a loud voice, and then he began to deploy field guns and mortars. In order to achieve the effect of destroying the enemy in one blow, he did not choose to shell all four at the same time.
Instead, all the field guns and mortars were gathered in front of the north gate of Guangzhou City. Now the water surrounding Guangzhou City is impenetrable, he has no fear that they will escape.
In one morning, a total of 1,000 artillery pieces were assembled for fear of field battles and mortars. Following Luo Xin's order, the battle of Guangzhou City officially started at one o'clock in the afternoon.
"Boom boom boom..." In the sound of shelling that the world faltered, raindrops fell on the city wall just north of Guangzhou City.
In an instant, the city wall was covered by a sea of ​​fire, the bricks shattered, and flesh and blood flew all over the place. The defense of the northern part of the council military city was shattered in just one round of shelling.
"Boom boom boom..."
After the first round of shelling, the second round of shelling followed one after another, as if the parliamentary soldiers who had walked around in fell into terror again.
Then came the third and fourth times. When the smoke dissipated, less than 40% of the parliamentary soldiers survived on the wall after four rounds of shelling, and the artillery of their structure was basically destroyed.
"I want to go home, I want to go home!"
On the Guangzhou city wall, a parliamentary soldier collapsed. The hellish experience made him run down without regard to anything. The soldiers who survived looked numbly at the densely packed corpses on the city wall. This was not a war, it was a massacre.
The screams of the soldiers tightened their hearts one by one. After the first soldier collapsed, the remaining soldiers fled the battlefield desperately.
In the city of Guangzhou, the people under the Qinglong King looked frightened and uneasy. The huge explosion from the north made their hearts touch their throats.
And then the bloodied soldiers made them more worried.
"Hurry up and run for your life, if you can't win, you can't win..." a soldier shouted sternly, but he stopped abruptly before he said his words. A general's knife pierced the soldier's heart severely.
Withdrawing the knife, the general shouted: "All forward, don't you want to get the land, don't you have to pay for food? The royal army is outside the city, as long as we win, we will have everything."
"Charge!" some desperadoes in the crowd yelled, their immediate interests made them forget their fear, and they yelled and went north.
Outside the city, the royal soldiers were sitting leisurely in the trenches. They were waiting for the shelling to end, and they had experienced wars of all sizes. They had thoroughly seen the fighting power of the merchant council.
Now they are very confident.
"Boom boom boom..."
After a short interval, the roar of artillery sounded again, and the entire artillery position was full of fire and smoke.
The city walls of Guangzhou gradually appeared tottering after being continuously bombarded by cannonballs like raindrops.
Upon seeing this, Luo Xin urged the artillery to continue the shelling. Finally, after the seventeenth round of shelling, the northern city wall of Guangzhou collapsed, and the soldiers of the Azure Dragon King also arrived under the city.
The sudden collapse caused many soldiers to mess up their positions, but something more terrifying than the city wall happened. For the first time, they realized what shelling was.
The soldiers hadn't recovered yet, and the dense shells fell beside them.
Shrapnel flew, the air wave rolled, and the soldiers of the Azure Dragon King were killed and injured in an instant. These soldiers were ordinary people in the field, and they had never experienced such a terrible war.
Looking at their fallen companions, they cried and ran away, but at this moment, a terrible news suddenly came.
"Don’t fight everyone. The Azure Dragon King ran away, and the Cao family father and son ran away. Our silver was taken away by them. Now they are just leaving us to die. Don’t resist, otherwise you will only lose your lives in vain. ."
The person who spoke was Lin Youde, and now members of the council in the city found that the Cao family, father and son and the Azure Dragon King were no longer in the city and had been fried.
Hearing the news, he immediately spread the news, and it was the time when the parliamentary army was disturbed.
Sure enough, as soon as the news came out, the soldiers were in an uproar. They fought because of their belief in the Blue Dragon King of the Merchant Council, but they now shamelessly abandoned them.
"Mother, let us die, but they ran away, brothers stopped fighting." A general scolded fiercely.
"The Merchants Council is a nest of liars. They lied to us and we have nothing now."
"Kill them!"
"..."
An irritating sentence was uttered from the soldiers. Instead of rushing to the front line, they took up arms and rushed towards the parliament station.
At this time, Lin Youde was dressed as an ordinary soldier, and he smiled when he saw it. As long as Guangzhou was chaotic, they would be able to reduce casualties.
When the angry soldiers rushed into the garrison and found that the Cao family, father and son~EbookFREE.me~, the Blue Dragon King was really no longer there, even greater chaos appeared, and the soldiers began to shoot at the council in the council.
For them, they just want to vent their anger.
At the same time, when the city wall of Guangzhou collapsed, Lu Fei gave the order to charge.
The royal soldiers took up their bayonets and falcon rifles flooded into Guangzhou City like a flood. Facing the chaotic Guangzhou City, they quickly controlled the situation.
The people and soldiers who saw the royal soldiers rushing over immediately chose to surrender, and the royal army's offensive went smoothly all the way, and there was basically no resistance.
Luo Xin and Lu Fei entered the city after the city broke. When they saw Lin Youde walking towards them, the two got off the horse and smiled: "Lin Youde, you are still alive."
"How could I die before the merchant council was destroyed?" Lin Youde laughed.
He met the two of them before hiding in the Merchants' Council. At that time, Li San led him to meet with the soldiers for today.
