I want to completely break through the remaining defensive positions in one go, kill the town of Tengxian County in one go, and capture Tengxian County! It's still the same... routine! Big artillery bombardment, infantry rushing! With absolute strength, crush all enemies! Use powerful Combat effectiveness, sufficient troops and tenacious willpower will completely destroy the enemy army in front of you! "Boom boom boom!!!"

  More than a hundred artillery pieces fired again.

  The infantry of a few guards began to rectify, forming a huge formation of about four or five thousand people, forming several, and launched a charge towards the remaining main positions.

  "Kill kill kill!!"

  The deafening roar of killing sounded, and the army began to charge the defensive line.

  It was still about [-] meters away from the position, and the frequency of the artillery dropped, and the free bombardment began, and the firepower was suppressed.

  "Fire!!"

  The volley of guns began to fire, so many musketeers gathered, and in one wave of shooting, there were thousands of projectiles hitting the main position.

  Fire alternately and keep moving forward.

  If the defenders don't have a lot of artillery, they can't stop it at all! It's powerless to stop! This is the crushing of strength! Coupled with sufficient troops, the next one will be added to the battle formation.

  The defenders on the position, no matter how they fought back, could not stop the infantry of the Weihai Guards from approaching their position.

  "Bang bang bang!"

  As the distance got closer to the position, the lethality of the platoon guns rose almost in a straight line, and each wave of fire would cause a lot of damage to the defenders.

  The continuous fall of hundreds of people made the morale of the defenders crazily weakened.

  "All troops charge!"

  "Kill it!!"

  As they approached the main position at a distance of [-] to [-] meters, after the last platoon of guns opened fire, the army in the front row began to charge, and a thousand or two thousand sword and shield soldiers and spearmen charged towards the main position like crazy.

  One by one, they rushed into the main position desperately, chopped down the guard soldiers one by one, and drove them out of the position.

  The defending soldiers completely collapsed! The whole line collapsed, the defense line completely fell, the soldiers fled one after another, and surrendered in large numbers.

  The Second Army completely broke through the Tengxian defense line.

  The Yanzhou Prefecture Army, which had collapsed long ago, had no resistance and was taken down by the Second Army without bloodshed! This also means that the first line of defense of Yanzhou Prefecture, the Tengxian line of defense was completely defeated! "Leaving a guard behind Clear the battlefield, stationed in Teng County, and the army will continue to advance to kill the city of Yanzhou!!"

  With a big wave of Zhang Yang's hand, he issued an order to move on, racing against time to capture Yanzhou Mansion.

Chapter [-] The Yanzhou gentry panicked

  Yanzhou Fucheng, Fuya.

  "Report!!"

  "Your Majesty is no good, no good, the Weihai Guard Pirates launched an attack in the southwest direction, and within a day, the four cities, Yizhou, Feixian, Tancheng, and Xianxian were successively lost! The offensive of the thieves was extremely fierce. , The momentum is like a broken bamboo, unstoppable!!"

  A messenger rushed into the palace in a panic, and said in a panic in front of the prefect of Yanzhou and hundreds of gentry in Yanzhou.

  "What Weihai pirate army actually launched an attack on the four prefectures and counties in the southwest!"

  The prefect of Yanzhou stood up on the spot in shock and cried out.

  The Weihai Guards did not immediately launch an attack on Yanzhou Fucheng, but turned to clean up the four 44 prefectures and counties in the southwest of Yanzhou City, which was beyond his expectations.

  "Don't panic, the four 44 states and counties in the southwest are too remote, and it's no big deal to lose them!"

  A gentleman stood up and said nonchalantly.

  "Yes, yes, the four 44 prefectures and counties in the southwest have a serious shortage of troops, and they were attacked one after another within a day, which is also expected! Why should you be surprised, Lord Prefect? ​​It's no big deal if you lose it. Yes, as long as we keep our Yanzhou Palace City well!"

  "Yes, if you lose it, you will lose it. Anyway, the gentlemen present, there is no land or property there, and it is no big deal if it is lost!"

  "Defending Yanzhou City is the greatest credit!"

  "What are you panicking about, how can you be so restless? I heard that Ma Shiying, the governor of Fengyang, is the commander in charge of Nanzhili, who is leading the army and is ready to help our Yanzhou Prefecture.

  With Governor Ma supporting us, don't worry too much! As long as we can defend Yanzhou City, Governor Ma will clean up the mess for us!"

  "If the four prefectures and counties in the southwest are lost, they will be lost. On both sides, they are surrounded by Huai'an Prefecture in South Zhili. Once Governor Ma leads his army north, he will be able to help us recover Yanzhou Prefecture as soon as possible!"

  "That's right, Governor Arima led the army north to support us, there is nothing to worry about!"

  ""

  The gentlemen of Yanzhou Prefecture all persuaded the prefect of Yanzhou without caring.

  Let him relax, it's no big deal! It's just lost four 44 remote states and counties, what's the big deal anyway, Governor Ma will soon lead his army north to help, and can take it back immediately! It's only a temporary loss, what's the big deal Yes! Don't worry about it! It is the most important thing to keep the Yanzhou City! Listening to the words of the gentlemen of Yanzhou, the prefect of Yanzhou could not help but smile bitterly.

  The gentlemen don't care, that's because all the gentlemen present, in the four prefectures and counties in the southwest of Yanzhou capital, do not have much interest, and it will have no effect on them if they lose it.

  But he can't do it! As the prefect of Yanzhou prefecture, he owns the guard! Losing four 44 prefectures and counties, what a sin! How can you not panic? It's strange! With a wry smile, the prefect of Yanzhou was about to say something. A messenger hurried in, with a look of panic and fear: "Report, the prefect is not well, the Weihai Guards Army has broken through the Tengxian defense line, and tens of thousands of troops have been destroyed. The defense line of Zouxian and Sishui is coming!!”

  As soon as these words came out, the smiles on the faces of the Yanzhou gentry who were not paying attention were stiff and solidified.

  When the prefect of Yanzhou heard the words, his face changed greatly, it was no longer a wry smile, but full of panic, panic, and anxiety.

  He shouted loudly, "What did you say that the Weihai pirate army broke through the Tengxian defense line, and the entire army of tens of thousands was destroyed!"

  With an unbelievable look on his face, he said in disbelief: "This is impossible! How could the Weihai Guards attack so fiercely with tens of thousands of troops, and how could they be defeated so quickly!"

  "Sizhou County in the southwest is not close to Teng County. Even if the army is on the road, it will take a few days. The real attack will only take a day or two!"

  "In a day or two, tens of thousands of troops will be defeated!"

  The messenger's face was full of panic, anxiety and shock: "Weihai pirate army is crazy, they are madly attacking our position regardless of casualties!"

  "With the advantage of sufficient troops, coupled with a large number of muskets, we are madly attacking our defense line!"

  "Brothers, I can't stand it!!"

  "I can't stand it!!"

  There was still fear on his face, a look of fear afterward.

  Obviously, in the battle of Tengxian, the messengers were all frightened by the fierce offensive of the Weihaiwei Second Army, and they were all scared out of the shadows! "In a day or two, my army of tens of thousands was destroyed, although the Most of them are young and strong armed, but the fighting strength is not so incredible, it is beyond common sense!"

  It was still difficult for Yanzhou Prefecture to imagine what method the Weihai Guards used, and what kind of ferocious offensive was used to break through the Tengxian defense line he had arranged in a short period of time, annihilating his army of tens of thousands.

  However, regardless of

  Whether he wants to understand, the problem he needs to face at this moment is that the three defense lines of Yanzhou City have been breached! Now the Weihai Guards are advancing to the second line of defense, and soon, they will launch a fierce attack.

  I don't know how long the second line of defense can be held! If it is still the same as the Tengxian line of defense, it would be a bit scary to break through in a short period of time! "How could the Tengxian line of defense be broken and lost so quickly? !!”

  "The entire Yanzhou City has only three lines of defense, and now one has been lost, leaving only two lines of defense.

  If Weihaiwei's pirate army's offensive is still so fierce and unstoppable, can we still hold on to the reinforcements that Governor Ma leads the army north to help us!"

  "Difficult! The reinforcements led by Governor Ma are south of the Huai River. Even if they cross the upper Huai River, it will take at least ten days to arrive at our Yanzhou Prefecture to join the battlefield!"

  "Ten days, at this rate of fall, we can't hold on for ten days!"

  "Damn it, the tens of thousands of troops on the defense line of Tengxian County are all dead people, how come they were easily wiped out by the Weihai Guards for so long!"

  "Yanzhou City has three lines of defense, but two lines of defense are still missing, what should we do!"

  "What else can be done, of course, is to contribute money and efforts, at all costs, to defend the remaining two lines of defense, and stick to the arrival of Governor Ma!!"

  The loss of the Tengxian line of defense, and the speed at which they were shocked, shocked the gentry of Yanzhou, and all of them turned pale and panicked.

  Many gentry, resisting the panic in their hearts, gritted their teeth and held the remaining line of defense! The Southern Zhili Army led by Ma Shiying was their last straw. They pinned all their hopes on Ma Shiying's army. Enter the Southern Zhili Army.

  Even the prefect of Yanzhou is no exception! He has no good solution now, he has done what he needs to do, and all the gentry of Yanzhou Prefecture have gathered the strength of the crowd, and there is only so much strength they have.

  You can only entrust your own destiny to the reinforcements! I hope the reinforcements can arrive at the battlefield in time.

Chapter [-] Breaking two lines of defense in a row is unstoppable

  The second line of defense of Yanzhou Prefecture, in front of Zouxian and Sishui.

  "fire!!"

  After the artillery of the Weihaiwei Second Army had set up artillery positions, dozens of artillery pieces were aimed at the defensive line positions garrisoned by the Quanzhou Prefecture Army.

  "Boom boom boom!"

  The artillery slammed into the position fiercely, as if the sky was torn apart, suppressing the defenders of the Yanzhou government army stationed on the position in the tunnel, holding their heads in their hands, trembling, their mouths wide open, and their eyes were full of fear.

  After the bombardment, the dust clouds rolled up, obscuring the sky and obscuring the sun, almost burying the entire position.

  "attack!!"

  At the foot of the mountain where the position was located, the infantry of the Second Weihaiwei Army formed a belligerent formation and began to climb to the high ground in a neat and orderly manner.

  All the way to a distance of about [-] meters from the position.

  "Fire!!"

  When there is even a row of musketeers, standing between the front row of sword and shield soldiers, fire at the high position.

  "Bang bang bang!"

  Row after row of musketeers fired alternately, and the battle formation continued to move forward, taking firm steps, constantly approaching the position.

  From the beginning to the end, the entire battle formation remained intact! Seeing death as if at home, the will to fight without fear of death made the defenders look horrified.

  No matter how they counterattacked, they hit an unknown number of Weihaiwei soldiers, but someone from the rear immediately filled them up, so that it seemed that from the beginning to the end, none of the Weihaiwei infantry who attacked was killed or injured! On the battlefield, Especially on the battlefield where artillery and guns roared constantly and people around me screamed incessantly.

  Few soldiers can keep calm! Almost the vast majority of soldiers are in a state of excitement, fear, fear, and tension.

  Difficulty concentrating.

  Therefore, it is easy to be deceived by superficial phenomena! At this moment, the Weihai Guards rushed from [-] meters away to [-] to [-] meters away, but they maintained a complete formation from beginning to end, and it seemed that there was no one missing.

  It brought an indescribable sense of shock to the defenders of Yanzhou Prefecture, and their morale became more and more collapsed.

  And the closer the distance, the faster the collapse, and the more people collapse.

  "charge!!"

  The Weihai Guard officers in the front row, seeing that the distance to the position was only less than [-] to [-] meters away, immediately raised their knives and ordered a charge, launching a death charge! What is a death charge! Charge to the enemy's position in one breath! No matter how many people are killed or injured during the charge! This kind of charge requires great courage and willpower.

  Even though the defenders of Yanzhou Prefecture were not equipped with large-scale muskets and artillery, there were always some soldiers who were equipped.

  It can still cause casualties to the soldiers in the front row of Weihaiwei.

  It's just that it's not that terrifying, and Weihaiwei's soldiers, from beginning to end, are equipped with the same equipment as the enemy, and the soldiers' will and training level are the same as the imaginary enemy, as training.
