After a night of rest and defense change, the city wall that stretched for two miles had been replaced by more than a thousand well-equipped musketeers.

At the same time, twenty-seven heavy mortars, nine medium mortars, and nine light mortars were all set up in Yangquan County behind the city wall. {

Of course, after a night of rest, more than a thousand Yangquan defenders with revenge were gathered at the city gate. They held their weapons tightly and prepared to avenge the brothers who died in today's counterattack with the heads and blood of the officers outside the city.

On the other hand, after a night of reflection and summary, the head general of the official army directly believed that during the two-day attack, the soldiers under his command could not gain a foothold on the city wall. One of the important reasons was that there were too few siege troops sent out by themselves, and it was impossible to ensure that the continuous soldiers climbed the city wall, fought with the defenders, and expanded the breakthrough.

Therefore, in the first round of attack today, the main general Zhou Haoguang directly increased the attacking force from 4,000 to 6,000, almost half of his troops... The remaining two thousand grenades were also taken out. He was ready to take down Yangquan County, which he had attacked for two days through a battle.

The official army attacked the position, and the chief general Zhou Haoguang coldly glanced at the ruined city wall of Yangquan County, and directly issued an offensive order with confidence on his face.

So, the roaring sound of red cannons fired on the battlefield like thunder.

The city wall that stretched for two miles was covered by the freezing of the flower bomb explosion in a few breaths.

In order to capture Yangquan County in one fell swoop, Zhou Haoguang, the chief general of the official army, not only sent more offensive troops and the red cannons used to shell the city walls, but also increased to fifty gates. It can be said that he was doing his best.

Such an unprecedented shelling lasted for only half an hour before it slowly ended.

As the freedom produced by the explosion of the flower bomb slowly dissipated, the main city wall blocking in front of him was once again cut by artillery fire by nearly two feet. More importantly, the city wall that stretched for two miles was blown out by a huge gap of ten feet in width just after the shelling.

If the city is attacked from this gap, the government army will attack the troops. Perhaps they cannot even use ladders. They can directly climb up the explosion of the city wall and rush into Yangquan County.

Faced with this situation, Wang Feng loudly ordered: "A musket team was added to the gap, and the others should go up to the city wall immediately and prepare for counterattack... Artillery, be prepared for artillery..." "The heavy artillery battalion is responsible for destroying the red artillery of the official army... Medium and light mortars, blowing the official army's offensive forces... As long as I issued a general order, I would fire the general and burn all the shells brought..."

The six thousand officials who were responsible for the attack outside the city also discovered the explosion of the city wall.

In addition, they knew that the musketeers could not pose a threat to the defenders on the city walls. Six thousand officers attacked the troops of the musketeers and the swords and shields, like wolves smelling fish, roaring towards the gap.

Facing the official army that was getting closer and closer to him outside the city, Wang Feng, with a murderous look on his face, shouted. "Start a counterattack, letting the official army outside the city know the real combat effectiveness of our Shanxi and Shaanxi troops."

The sound of gunfire like a bean, the violent grenade explosion, the ordinary thunder-like explosion of flowering bombs... It was like a symphony of war, and it quickly rang on the battlefield.

I just wanted to avoid grenades, but I didn't expect that the attacking troops of the government army, which had muskets and artillery, were covered by the whistling lead bullets and flowering bullets in just a blink of an eye.

When the official army was swept to the ground, on the battlefield, the red cannon positions of the official army, which had been showing off for two days, were also covered by gunpowder smoke generated by the explosion of more than 20 flowering bombs at this moment.

The official gunners standing next to the Red Barbarian cannon and had nowhere to hide were like paper, and were blown to the ground by the fragments of shells produced by the explosion of the flowering bombs. What's more, they were directly blown away by the flowering bombs and the bones were gone...

When the lead bullets and flower bullets from Yangquan County were killed and injured round after round, Zhou Haoguang, who was not far from the artillery position, had gone from his confidence just now to his gloomy face.

After slamming his clenched fists on the desk beside him, he said in a heavy tone: "It is a flintlock firing and a new cannon that can fire flowering bullets... As far as I know, only the Tiger and Leopard Army in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces are equipped with these two weapons." "From the density of gunfire and cannon sound, in Yangquan County before us, the Tiger and Leopard Army reinforcements must have come.

Speaking of this, a sigh of helplessness also came from Zhou Haoguang's mouth. "I had heard a rumor that in the Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces, both the elite iron-armored cavalry of the Tiger and Leopard Army and their infantry were equipped with war horses. When I heard this rumor, I didn't believe it very much. After all, war horses cannot be bought with money. But now it seems that this rumor may be true..." "Otherwise, it would take three days to arrive at the Tiger and Leopard Army reinforcements in Yangquan County, why did it come so quickly..."

After Zhou Haoguang finished speaking, the faces of the general standing beside him were instantly covered by solemnity and worry.

He asked directly to Zhou Haoguang, who had a gloomy face: "Sir, the reinforcements of the Yangquan Guard have arrived. Even the fifty red cannons we equipped were bombarded by the Tiger and Leopard Army... In this case, it is almost impossible to continue to open a passage to attack Datong Mansion from here... What should we do next? Please tell us..."

Zhou Haoguang ordered "What else can I do? Retreat the troops immediately..." "The firearms of the Tiger and Leopard Army are so powerful. If they do not retreat immediately, the six thousand soldiers sent by the general will be killed by the Tiger and Leopard Army's firearms... Retreat, immediately order the offensive troops to withdraw..."

After the retreating sounded on the battlefield, the official army, who was suffering in the rain of bullets, seemed to have suddenly lost the courage to continue fighting.

Spread your legs and fled backwards regardless of everything.

The dense lead and flowering bullets were as dense as rain, and they had no intention of letting them go. They followed their retreat and shot them from behind.

At the same time, more than a thousand Yangquan garrisons, who were already eager to try and full of revenge, were like hungry wolves out of the cage, yelling out of the county town. With their weapons and chasing them at an increasingly rapid speed, they chased them towards the retreat of the government troops.
