"Oh... I'm afraid it's hard to fight in this life..."

After sighing, Zuo Zongtang also had a bitter face. It is not a good thing to be too smart in life, and it is not a good thing to see some things too clearly.

Zuo Zongtang didn't know how deep the water behind Yang Laosan was, but the strength Yang Laosan showed in front of him recently was really scary. Yang Laosan's thoughts were carefully thought about in Wuhan Sanzhen and Yuezhou. This person was probably not going to protect the Qing Dynasty.

The theory of self-reliance is not very reliable. After listening to some of Yang Laosan's words and reading some Western books, Zuo Zongtang probably had some thoughts in his mind, but he could not accurately estimate the future. Perhaps he and Zeng Disheng were the last batch of governors of the Qing Dynasty?

Adding one thousand foreign guns and fifty mortars, Zuo Zongtang also felt confident, and his awe of Yang Laosan became deeper and deeper. Fifty mortars, plus the dozens of previous ones, were just able to defend the four foreign guns in Yuezhou. After the number of foreign guns was closed, one city gate could be divided into more than 300. Coupled with the Zheng Yong of Yuezhou Camp, the long-haired thief besieged the city from all sides, which could be blocked.

Yang Laosan also explained that the use of flowering bullets was more than 130 pieces of flowering bullets were divided into each cannon. As far as Zuo Zongtang knew, it was possible to fire dozens of cannons in a row, which was the top-grade cannon cast by the national masters, and the cannons in the prime of Kangxi and Qianlong period were nothing more than that.

I owed 130,000 kilograms of nitrosulfonate from the Yang family's Yuezhou business, and the purpose was the same as this flowering bullet. It was packed into a pottery jar, a clay pot, and a wooden barrel. This was inspired by Yang Laosan and his own idea of ​​his left mule, which was indispensable for attacking the Yuezhou wharf. Nitrosulfonate and tung oil.

Just looking at these things in your hands, Zuo Zongtang knew that it was feasible not to use foreign aid, but to defend Yuezhou City by himself. It seems that Yang Laosan wants to make himself the leader!

"God bless me Zuo Zongtang!"

After a heavy shout, Zuo Zongtang threw away all the selfish thoughts in his heart. The battle was about to not tolerate these selfish thoughts. Now that he has defended Yuezhou, it is the fundamental reason. To say something else, that is all things to come.

The army outside the city was ruled by Shi Xiangzhen and Wei Jun. All Yang Laosan’s information was mentioned in detail. Wei Jun was able to defend and attack well. Shi Xiangzhen was probably a skillful person. His opponent was a young hero. His left mule was not bad. Most of his life’s knowledge was hidden between his chest and abdomen. Whoever was killed depends on his ability!

After drinking most of the pot of strong tea in the government office, Zuo Zongtang also changed into serious official uniforms and headed straight to the schoolyard of Yuezhouying.

The long-haired thief must be wary of the first time he comes. The so-called "Lao Shi" is not the person who takes the boat. Shi Xiangzhen and Wei Jun were rectifying the troops outside the city. Zuo Zongtang had no unnecessary thoughts. When the Taiping Army first arrived at the stealing camp, he would not allow him to do this.

But after a day and night of rest, facing the changing Yuezhou City, the old soldiers of the long-haired thieves must have prepared a siege battle. If they attack and defend, the fighter plane came. The long-haired thieves should not have moored all the warships on the docks in Yuezhou, condescending, in the mirror of a thousand miles, the ships on the docks were crowded, and Zuo Zongtang saw it real.

"Tonight, our mansion will attack Yuezhou Pier at night. The time is for all the generals and officials to seek fame. They will return to the camp to select people who are proficient in water and are familiar with the ship's staff. Don't have too many people, two hundred elite soldiers are enough!"

There is Nanhu in Yuezhou, and the pier in Yuezhou is also called Nanhu Wharf. There are many vast Nanhu Ports, and there are large nailed clutches hidden thirty or fifty days ago. It is easy to use. The navy's tactics are the best. Fire attack is the best. Since the long-haired thief has exposed the empty gate, the left mule will naturally take charge.

Sitting quietly on the docking platform, Zuo Zongtang exhaled at dozens of Yuezhou camp officials. After several months, the names and personalities of these people were hidden in Zuo Zongtang's heart.

"Yeah!"

Although this response is a bit slapstick, the generals can use their aura. After practicing for half a year, I believe these people want to try it out too.

Seeing the generals leaving with a calm face, Zuo Zongtang felt a little uneasy. He burned Yuezhou Wharf. This was his first shot of Zuo Mule. He must not be dumb. He started a good start and must be red in the sky!

Since they arrived in Yuezhou, Shi Xiangzhen and Wei Jun also looked sad. According to the plan of the Wing King, the Yuezhou City should be easily captured, but when they arrived in Yuezhou, it was not the case at all.

The flags rolled on the top of the Yuezhou city. The two thought it was an empty city plan, but the army had just pierced under the Yuezhou city, and the bright sword light shot from the top of the city towards the army's camp.

When I first arrived in Yuezhou, it was half afternoon. Although the sunlight was not as strong as noon, the bright light on the top of the city was definitely a knife light, and it was a finely polished knife, with a number of no less than a thousand. Wei Jun had seen the elite Yang Laosan walking like the wind outside Huangzhou City. He used the bright ghost-headed sword.

"Shi Guozong, in this Yuezhou City, the Wing King must fight. Look at the situation of the city defense, the demons are prepared first. How should we advance and retreat?"

Wei Jun looked carefully. In addition to the triceratops, there were big banners with left characters, and some were blank banners with loud voices. There was no blood flag with Yang characters mentioned by the Wing King. Wei Jun suppressed some of the words in his heart.

"No hurry! Since Yuezhou is prepared, let's let the army rest. Most of our troops and horses are in the market. If we attack the city immediately, we may be afraid that the morale of the army will be damaged by the urgent need.

In our army, there are old brothers who have fought Yuezhou before. Let them talk about the city defense deployment in Yuezhou, and it will not be too late for us to conquer the city again.

Wei Guozong, brothers from the earth camp, will give you your hand. First explore the path of the earth attack. Tonight and the whole day tomorrow will be our rest time, and we will fight again in the future!"

After seeing the sword light, Shi Xiangzhen knew it was not good. He was afraid that there were elite Qing Yao in Yuezhou City. Yang Meng's training and Shi Xiangzhen had never seen him. When his clan's brother Shi Dakai came, he did not tell him that Yang Laosan's men were good at using big swords. In this section, Wei Jun concealed and Shi Dakai's negligence were wronged.

After the King of Wings ruled the army, the status of Wei and Shi changed, but Shi Xiangzhen didn't want Wei Jun to be happy either. The King of North and King of Wings were incompatible, which was something that everyone knew in their hearts.

The city defense of Yuezhou was very strict, and Shi Xiangzhen was also afraid that he would not be able to capture Yuezhou City in an urgent manner. Earth attack was the main engineering method of the heavenly soldiers. The attack was not good. It was to command the generals of the earth camp to be incompetent and share the blame. Now it is called, and to consider defeat before winning!

"Yeah! I'll do this right away!"

He responded in a depressed voice, and Wei Jun also sighed in secret that when he attacked Hubei in the early stage, he had made many troubles to this Shi Guozong. Who would have thought that the King of Dong would send the King of Wings to Anqing to take charge of the army?

In charge of the earth camp is not a good job, but now I am disobeying Shi Xiangzhen. I am afraid that the Wing King will not spare him easily. They are all wise people. Wei Jun also knows that Shi Xiangzhen's plan is nothing more than having the same share of Yongfu. Although he is unhappy, he can only take on this matter.

Wei Jun took the brothers from the earth camp to check the path of the earth attack, and Shi Xiangzhen was not idle either. He found several old heavenly soldiers who led the troops and asked about the defense of Yuezhou.

After hearing this, Shi Xiangzhen also scratched his head and learned from the old soldiers that Yuezhou had no moat before, but now it has it, I am afraid that it will be aborted by the method of attacking the land.

Who knows how long this moat has been connected. After a long time, the moat water seeps into the ground, and the soil attack can't cross the river. Even if it can barely pass, it is difficult to accurately understand the location of the city wall.

If the path to the earth attack cannot be understood, I can only fight hard. It is only from the old soldiers that the Yuezhou city wall is two feet deep and three feet high, and it is one of the few fortresses in the city.

There were originally six gates in Yuezhou City. At the beginning of the last siege, Qing Yao blocked two gates. The remaining four gates in the east, west, south and north are all double-layered walls, with double gates inside and outside. It is obviously impossible to break into the city.

Yuezhou City is long from east to west and narrow from north to south. If you want to attack the city in large numbers, it is difficult to fight the east and west gates. In addition, you can take into account both the head and tail of the artillery. If you want to attack Yuezhou City, you can only choose the north and south gates with the stretched city walls.

The north gate of Yuezhou is in real estate, and the south gate is not far from Nanhu. It is also clear from the direction that you have to take many ships, so it is not advisable to leave the south and the north. If you want to break the city, you can only choose to attack the south gate.

The moat is effective against earth attacks. If you want to attack the city, you can simply build a floating bridge. The earth camp is not useless. If you want to break through the Yuezhou city wall, there is no way. You have digging a wall to open a hole. The heavenly soldiers have used it in Luzhou. The effect is very good. As long as there is something on their heads, they can drill through the city wall in one or two hours. When you pass through the wall, put a coffin full of local medicine in the hole, and you can also knock down the city wall in Yuezhou.

Such a way of playing will inevitably have a considerable loss, but when the Wing King came, he had an order, and Yuezhou must be taken. If there was no Yuezhou as a supporter, it would be difficult to conquer Changsha smoothly. Moreover, Yuezhou is also the Yangtze River Pass, which is a checkpoint for blocking Yang Laosan, the three towns of Wuhan, to rescue Hunan. If Yuezhou cannot be defeated, the entire battle situation will be passive.

When fighting Yuezhou, you can only hit the south gate. When hitting the south gate, you can only use the method of digging a wall. Yuezhou is already prepared and the time is no longer there. Shi Xiangzhen can only use the advantage of geographical and people. The advantage of the attack and defense is self-evident. The heavenly soldiers do not have the advantage of land under the city of Yuezhou.

As for Renhe, Shi Xiangzhen was also deeply worried. This time, all the new soldiers were sent, with only Wei Jun's remaining 5,000 Western Expedition Army, and more than 5,000 veterans sent by the Wing King. The old soldiers who really fought all the way to Tianjing, and more than 40,000 troops were probably only three or five hundred. This battle was difficult to fight.

After leaving the camp, he looked at the messy wharf. Shi Xiangzhen was helpless about it. There were only these things, and how to fight depends on his own ability.

Yang Meng also deeply worried about the left mule in Yuezhou who was guarding him. Although Yuezhou is well prepared, his weakness is obvious and there are few people!

According to Shadow Information, in Yuezhou City, there are only more than 30,000 strong men in Yuezhou City today. This is the only one that Zuo Mule earned a group of strong men near Yuezhou. Otherwise, the total number of strong men in Yuezhou City would not be more than 20,000.

When fighting, Yuezhou has few experienced people from top to bottom. Although the left mule has guarded Changsha, the people under his command have never experienced war in Chengdu. It is not easy to rely on these people to defend Yuezhou!

If he was defending the city himself, Yang Meng thought about it and wanted to build up the morale of the army, there were only two ways to win over the army, one was to reward him and the other was to bewitch people's hearts.

The reward is that Zuo Mule doesn’t have much money. Who knows how long the Taiping Army will siege the city? This method won’t work!

To confuse people's hearts and to deceive the public, the reason is simple. The people of Yuezhou have suffered the losses of the Taiping Army. As long as the left mule meets the three moves to cause a certain amount of damage to the Taiping Army, they can use the reason why the long-haired thieves want to massacre the city. Then Yuezhou can be imagined by being united in his heart.

In the siege, the moat abandoned the Taiping Army's local attack, but the Taiping Army in Luzhou used the method of digging walls. This method also surprised Yang Meng. This was a human-shaped armor-piercing bomb!

It is a wonderful method to use people to open an opening on the city wall and then place a coffin! The Taiping Army's local camps are all miners, and I don't know if they will target the method of explosion and breaking. If they know how to use it, the left mule will be in danger.

The Taiping Army attacked Yuezhou, and the main attack direction was almost certain. Except for the South Gate, nothing else was a good place. The Taiping Army had many ships and no shortage of wood. By building a double-layer siege bridge, it could easily break the line of defense of the moat. Next, what we look at is the Taiping Army's siege strength and the reaction speed of the Left Mule.

All I should have done is already done. The one thousand muskets, fifty mortars, and five thousand flowering bullets that I have added are already considered to be the ultimate righteousness. Yuezhou's victory or defeat is counted as 55. Zuo Mule wants to be promoted, and Wei Shi and the other wants to make meritorious contributions. These three are all playing tricks on the blade!
