The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 459 Guilin Offensive and Defensive Battle

The offensive and defensive sides fight each other with you coming and going!

The sound of guns and guns rang out one after another!
The Ming army's offensive was like a tide, but the Qing army's defense was also not stretched.

Lu Maode, the governor, is still very capable. He has made great achievements in government affairs and military strategy.

If it weren't for Daming hooking up with the gentry in Guilin in advance.

Maybe the whole city of Guilin could be run into an iron bucket by him!
A bidder in iron armor or cotton armor appeared at the head of Guilin City, but they did not go forward to fight the Ming army.

More importantly, it played the role of a supervisor!

Relying on the armor on his body, he pressed the green battalion and the militia into the city and fought against the Ming army.

As long as someone dares to run away or fight timidly, he will slash and kill without mercy!

It can be said that in the aspect of supervising the battle, Lu Maode's pacifier has the demeanor of my Qing Dynasty's Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers!

boom!Boom!

Amidst the continuous roar, several shells crossed the city wall and smashed into the city of Guilin.

A building close to the city wall was hit by a shell, and the shell mercilessly smashed into the building.

During the rampage, the interior of the building was messed up!
With a click, the load-bearing column of this building was hit by a shell and then broke.

It collapsed into ruins with a crash!
Burning red arson bombs were shot into the city, black smoke billowed where the shells passed, and the terrifying heat they carried ignited large areas of wooden buildings.

The artillery positions set up by the Ming army on the mountains outside Guilin began to show their power.

The shells that fell into the city from time to time dealt a great blow to the morale of the Qing army defending the city.

Under the cover of artillery fire and muskets, the siege troops of the Ming army finally reached the walls of Guilin City.

The ladder was put on the city wall, and a soldier in heavy armor walked out from behind the shield car, holding up the shield and began to ascend the city.

All of a sudden, the Qing army defending the city fired all their arrows, and the rolling logs and stones rained down like rain.

Some people even poured hot golden juice from the top of the city!

The heavy armored soldiers of the Ming army holding their shields suffered heavy losses, and people continued to fall at the foot of the city walls of Guilin.

Arrows pierced through the gaps in the armor, and were hit by heavy rolling logs and rocks. The smashed head was bleeding, and the brains were bursting.

The hot golden juice poured down on the head, and the Ming army who was poured in it was burned to pieces on the spot.

Every step forward, every point toward Guilin City, is walking on a road paved with countless blood and bones.

In this battle, the strong resilience of the Ming army is undoubtedly revealed!
Under the military order, countless people went on to launch attacks one after another, storming the city of Guilin.

Even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead, no one takes a step back!
Stepping on the corpses of his comrades, shouting to kill, he charged forward.

Boom!dong dong!dong dong dong!

Although the guns were fired on the battlefield, the soldiers on both sides shouted and killed, shaking the sky.

But the dull sound of war drums still had a strong penetrating power, inspiring the soldiers of their own side to fight bravely to be the first.

call out!Whoosh!Whoosh!

The rockets set up by the Ming army in the trenches outside Guilin were ignited.

Amidst the ear-piercing sound, rockets pierced the sky one after another, leaving beautiful parabolas in the sky, shooting towards Guilin City.

The next moment, boom!Rumble!
The deafening roar resounded, and the entire city of Guilin was almost washed away by rockets.

Flames and gunpowder smoke filled the air, and countless fragments swept everything.

A lot of shells even landed in the city of Guilin. Amidst the roar, the shock waves set off almost destroyed everything.

Countless buildings collapsed!
The Qing army hiding in the building was turned upside down by the bombers and suffered heavy losses.

Seeing this scene, the siege troops of the Ming army greatly increased their morale, and launched an attack towards the top of the city screaming, and quickly ascended the city.

The remaining Qing troops at the top of the city are still fighting back!

Soldiers of the Ariake Army continued to fall from the ladder and fell into the pile of dead people under the city wall.

……

On the front line, soldiers on both sides are fighting fiercely!

Liu Shantai looked at the battlefield in the direction of Guilin City, and his face was quite nervous.

He knew that Guilin was not easy to fight, but he had never imagined that there would be such a large number of casualties!

Listening to the casualties reported by the adjutants around him, Liu Shantai's calm face showed faint anxiety.

What you need to know is that it is not only the worthless Guiyi Army who exchanged their lives with the Qing Army on the battlefield, but also many soldiers of the Restoration Army.

Seeing those battle-hardened, well-trained and well-trained elites fell in droves under the city of Guilin, Liu Shantai couldn't help but feel heartbroken.

In the past, when attacking the city, the Ming army had heavy artillery to help out.

Although casualties cannot be avoided, they can be controlled within a certain limit.

However, in this battle of Guilin City, due to the terrain, the power of the Ming army's heavy artillery was severely limited.

It is impossible to achieve the combat goal of suppressing the city!
If the Ming army wanted to attack the city, they had to use their lives to do so.

Countless soldiers charged forward one after another, paving the way ahead with blood and bones.

"What do those people in Guilin say?"

"When will they start?"

Liu Shantai couldn't help asking.

The adjutant beside him shook his head and said.

"General, the battle is raging right now, and the traffic inside and outside Guilin is cut off, so even if there is news inside the city, it won't come out."

Liu Shantai nodded slightly, he naturally knew what the lieutenant said.

However, if you know it, you know it, so it doesn't prevent him from complaining, does it?

"How are the preparations for the cave attack going?"

Liu Shantai asked again.

The lieutenant said.

"The tunnel has been dug under the city wall, but there is an urn in the outer city. The soil below the urn is relatively compact, and it will take a while to dig through."

As if remembering something, Liu Shantai said.

"This time, it should be the first actual combat test of the new gunpowder produced by the arsenal and research institute?"

"Looking at the data from the arsenal, the power of the new gunpowder is considerable, much stronger than the black powder commonly used in our army. It's hard to say how effective it will be in actual combat."

"Just verify it today!"

Liu Shantai's attitude is very clear, since the big gentry in Guilin city are unreliable, the Ming army will not count on them.

It’s enough for Daming to attack and break the city by himself!
However, these big gentry families dared to make fun of Daming, and after the city was broken, some of them would eat good fruit!
After pondering for a while, Liu Shantai spoke.

"If you pass on the order, the offensive can be slowed down a bit. Before the general offensive begins, try to reduce the casualties of the siege troops!"

If the attack continued with such casualties, the Ming army would not be able to bear it.

What you need to know is that those who are on the front line and the Qing army are exchanging their lives for their lives are all the elites of the Ming army.

The lieutenant led the way.

……

On the other side, in the city of Guilin, there is an undercurrent surging at this time.

"The Ming army's offensive is very fierce. The Ming army is mainly attacking the direction of the east gate. The Ming army has climbed to the top of the city several times."

"It was the governor who mobilized the pacesetters to suppress the Ming army!"

"But even so, do you know how many generals were killed or injured in the city today?"

"There are less than a thousand corpses that were carried down, and there are countless wounded of all kinds!"

"If the Ming army continues to attack with such intensity, how long can Guilin City last?"

"Is it possible to persist until King Pingxi comes to help?"

Zhang Xiushan earnestly persuaded the green camp general in front of him, Wen Xu.

Wen Xu had a sad face, obviously worried about the situation of the battle.
