Moreover, he was still thinking with gratitude that he rushed to the front, and the people behind would see him and bypass him! So he wanted to stand up and show his existence in a hurry, but as soon as he stood up, he felt a pain in his chest!

Only then did he realize that the third row of muskets of Shandong soldiers had fired again! Desta looked down at his chest and saw a small hole in the cotton armor, but blood was gushing out from the hole! He knew that he was finished when he saw the shot! Then his body softened and he fell to the ground and never moved again!

After Desta died in battle, the other Qing cavalry still rushed towards their respective targets! If Desta were there, he would retreat if he felt bad. But without his command, these Qing soldiers were still aiming at their own targets!

The worst thing is that in order to achieve the goal of destroying the opponent's artillery as soon as possible, Desta ordered the soldiers to disperse when they left the city and pounce on multiple targets at the same time. In this case, the cavalry could not form a joint force at all, but instead were shot to the ground by dense lead ejection! If they were to fight in a rope, they might be able to break through the interception of the musket, but now Desta is dead and it is too late to say anything!

More than a thousand cavalrymen sounded a lot, but under the intensive fire of gunfire, the artillery inside the artillery station continued to fire shells and bombard the city gate, which made their casualties even worse!

In just a few minutes, the extremely excited musket soldiers fired airtight lead bullets and knocked the Qing cavalry out to the ground in rows! When the Qing cavalry fell, they were more than ten steps away from the closest artillery position!

After a series of casualties, the Qing soldiers behind finally woke up! They watched their companions fall down one by one, and finally couldn't help but feel fear and turned around and fled back! As a result, more than 1,000 cavalrymen fled back, and the rest died on the open ground outside the east gate! Even those who escaped back probably wouldn't have the ability to fight in a short period of time, because they were all scared!

As for the cavalry that rushed out of the West Gate, they retreated because they saw the opportunity quickly and they did not rush back. It was not much more than the cavalry of the East Gate.

There were only less than a hundred soldiers who fled back!

Upon receiving this news, Bayelu was almost stunned! Although he thought that the cavalry would suffer heavy casualties this time, he did not expect that it would be a form that was almost wiped out!

This failure not only made Guangning City lose its mobile power, but what was even more terrifying was that the scene of cavalry casualties fell into the eyes of the soldiers on the top of the city! After the news spread, morale would be further hit!

During the whole morning, Fan Hualong carried out three feint attacks and used artillery to kill a large number of Qing soldiers! The reason he did this was because of the orders of the General Staff!

Because from the information obtained from various reconnaissance, it was shown that there was a Qing cavalry operating around the army, but they could not be found for a moment! Liu Pei really wanted to transfer these people to eat them! But this Qing army could not find the target as if it had evaporated from the world!

So the depressed Fan Hualong decided to launch a formal attack in the afternoon. Originally, Fan Hualong was ready for the failure of this attack, but the mortar artillery was very lucky this time. This low-accurate artillery actually scored a 12th company on a section of the city wall! It swept away the soldiers on the city wall for thirty or forty steps and could not get quick supplements!

Not only that, the explosion of the mortar also destroyed the oil barrels on the city, causing a fire on the city wall! The fire divided the defenders on the city wall into two! It was quite powerful. A ladder was setting up the city wall near the fire!

When the first sword and shield soldier rushed up the city wall, he was surprised to find that there was an insurmountable fire on his left, and there was no enemy within the range of more than twenty steps on the right! He waved the sword in his hand excitedly and shouted: "I will get the great achievements first!"

Then he rushed to the right and tried to block the Qing soldiers rushing over! Behind him, a large number of sword and shield soldiers continued to surge onto the city! When the first soldier was shot down by feather arrows, more than ten soldiers had formed a dense shield wall, and together with the fire, they divided a piece of unattended city wall! Behind them, a large number of excited soldiers were rushing to the city!

Fan Hualong, who was overjoyed, immediately mobilized musket soldiers and spearmen to the city, and at the same time ordered soldiers from other areas to step up their attacks on the city to attract the attention of the Qing army!

As the continuous soldiers rushed to the city and threw themselves into the city, they gradually gained a foothold. Shandong soldiers had firmly controlled a section of the city wall! The mortar unit, which had just made great contributions, was excited and kept firing shells at the city walls on both sides to protect the city-climbing troops and occupied more battlements!

Bayelu was shocked when he saw the city falling! He immediately organized the Eight Banners soldiers who had always been a reserve team to rush to the city, trying to regain the city wall! But before these soldiers could rush to the city, they were shot from a high place by musket soldiers!

After rushing to the city wall, they encountered dense gun forests again! The gun arrays of the two sides naturally fought each other! The spears of the two sides stirred each other in the air, bumped, slashed, and defended, making a series of "crackling" sounds! There were also the screams of the spear tip entering the body and people!

After a quick Duizi, Shandong soldiers gained the upper hand with the benefits of armor! After paying the price of nine deaths and six injuries, they killed more than 30 Eight Banners spearmen who rushed up! They completely defeated this counterattack!

But Bayelu, who was unwilling to give up, immediately organized a second attack under the city! He also organized the bird gun soldiers of the Han army flag to fight back on the city! However, under the condescending attack of the musket soldiers, these bird gun soldiers quickly dispersed!

The Shandong soldiers on the top of the city were also commanded by a major who had been driving the city. Under the command of the major, the good organizational discipline and training results of Shandong soldiers were demonstrated! On the narrow city, all the troops cooperated seamlessly!

When the opponent's spearmen rushed over, they were greeted with close-range musket shooting! The dense bullets would knock down all the Qing army's spearmen to the ground! Then the spearmen came forward to sweep the Qing sabre and shield soldiers at the top of the city! Then the sword and shield soldiers formed a shield wall to cover the front!
Chapter completed!
