But the next moment, Liu Chang made up his mind and patted Lu Ziyun on the shoulder: "Okay, this time Lishui attacks the city, your Niudao Camp will fight the main force!"

Lu Ziyun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and the officers present reached an agreement. They neatly saluted Liu Chang: "Resolutely obey the order!"

Liu Chang's treatment cannot be found. After all, Niu Dao Camp has gained the most profit after capturing Lishui City. It turned out that Liu Chang was planning to let Niu Dao Camp cover the flanks in this battle because Niu Dao Camp suffered a considerable loss in the previous battle to annihilate Rao Ting's Qing army.\\9vk.com start\\

However, the change in form made Lu Ziyun determined: "Check it out, let us be the first to climb Lishui City!"

Liu Chang said calmly: "Don't worry, Lishui is also a city. Let's take it slowly and never cause too many casualties due to impatientness!"

He set the tone for the entire Lishui battle. As soon as Lu Ziyun returned to Niudao Camp, he preached to the cadres in the camp: "It's our Niudao Camp's turn to chew tough problems now. The Qing army he selected last time, our Niudao Camp performed very well, so this time when he attacked Lishui City, the inspection site specially ordered the generals of our Niudao Camp, and our Niudao Camp is the main attacker!"

"Please remember the fact that our Niudao Battalion is the oldest group of companies in the Hong Army. When it was expanded into a battalion, it created a history of expanding a company into two battalions. Now the entire Hong Army is watching us and how we perform in Lishui City!"

This is not untrue, but the soldiers of the cadres suddenly rose and everyone cheered: "Our Niudao Camp should be the first main battalion of the Hong Army!"

"Yes, our performance is better than the Dragon Gun Camp!"

"Whether it is the Dragon Gun Camp or the Panshi Camp, our Niu Dao Camp will overwhelm them!"

In such an atmosphere, Lu Ziyun quickly issued an order: "Which company, the first company to enter Lishui City, will be awarded the honorary title of Lishui Company!"

This is more cheering.

In other infantry battalions, simple pre-war mobilization was also carried out. For example, the slogan of Nanxi Camp is: "This time the inspection orders to order our Nanxi Camp to be responsible for assists, but have you seen when will Nanxi Camp attack others? Our Nanxi Camp must turn the assist into the main attack, and we are the main attack battalion!"

Half an hour later, Liu Chang's subordinates immediately started attacking. ("", watch the latest update of this book)

The first thing that fired was the Minni rifle with the farthest range, often one or two officers holding a telescope in their hands, and several infantry companies surrounded him. The officer quickly found the target with the telescope, and then the sharpshooter began to look for the target in the sight.

At first, the defenders in the city did not pay any attention to such shooting. They knew how far the range of the shotgun had. They opened fire at such a long distance, not to mention shooting birds, even standing living people would have no chance.

But soon, the cruel facts told them that there was definitely a chance to fight a living person. Seeing officers and artillery pounce from time to time, the Qing army was already panicked and shouted: "What a powerful foreign gun, this foreign gun is so powerful, how many miles can it take!"

Such panic quickly spread throughout the city. Now, except for a few officers who stretched out half of their heads and looked around on the walls, there was no one on the city. Next, the Hongjun began to build simple floating bridges along the city river.

In the hearts of the defenders on the city, there is no need to pay attention to such bridge building. A floating bridge is not so easy to set up. They just occasionally fired a shot at the moat under the city, and then fled back to the back of the wall.

In less than two quarters of an hour, the defending generals at the city had already felt their scalp blowing at the six floating bridges set up under the city, less than two quarters of an hour! The Red Thieves had actually put all six floating bridges on the moat, and each bridge could be assembled. Next, the Red Thieves' artillery began to bombard the city with solid bullets.

The defenders on the top of the city were still huddled in the Tibetan soldiers' cave. They really didn't want to get a cold gun, but civil and military officials below the Heng Prefecture had driven them out of the Tibetan soldiers' cave: "Come on the Red Thieves, come on the Red Thieves, be careful!"

The red thief not only came up, but also dragged the artillery to the edge of the moat. The troops crossing the river built simple fortifications, and could shoot at any time with the defenders on the city. Everything was in order and the ladder could be mounted at any time.

"Climb the city!"

The first to launch the attack on the city was Lu Ziyun's Niu Dao Camp. With an order, the two carefully selected groups of the city had already run over with ladders and put the ladders on the city. Then the infantry climbed up hard. The officers and soldiers below cheered loudly to the warriors: "Hurry up, hurry up, we are Niu Dao Camp, there are just a group of chickens on it!"

There was not a group of soldiers above, but dozens of hundreds of soldiers. They had only climbed up to six or seven people. Dozens and hundreds of soldiers had already driven out of the Tibetan military cave, trying to drive the rainbow army back.

The two sides immediately launched tactics. First, the officers and soldiers of the Hong Army raised their flintlock rifles, fired their guns and launched a bombardment. Both sides suffered casualties and injured each other. Then they saw that there were a large number of Qing troops, so they shouted loudly, raised their bayonets and killed them.

The vanguard of the Qing army did not expect that such a brave Red thief would come and immediately collapsed, but then a Qing general shouted loudly: "With me, Bo Batian, here, why worry about the Red thief not retreating!"

He killed two Qing soldiers who retreated without authorization. As soon as the remaining Qing soldiers saw this, they immediately killed them again: "Bo Batian is here, everyone will kill you soon!"

But after such a delay, more officers and soldiers of Niudao Battalion soon rushed up, and the two sides started a gunfight on the narrow city. Although there were many Qing troops, they were at a disadvantage in equipment after entering the gunfight.

But there were only more than twenty soldiers who came to the Hong Army. Although they fought against their backs, the Qing army pressed from all directions one after another, and the Qing army that was dominating the sky drove down and rushed up again. The Hong Army officers and soldiers shouted loudly: "Bare that official to death!"

More than ten flintlock rifles, and the firing guns were concentrated on the Bo Ba Tian's body. Only a squad of guns were heard bombarding by. The Qing army's tiger general had been knocked to the ground, and the Qing army's morale suddenly fell.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Taking advantage of this time, more than twenty soldiers from Niu Dao Battalion rushed up with rifles. However, at this time, everyone realized that Bo Ba, the Green Camp officer who was knocked down to the ground, was not dead. He was covered in blood and drove the Qing army to push up. Someone immediately shouted: "This Qing demon is so hateful, kill him!"

At this time, some lead was bombarded from both the left and right wings. The Qing army's mountain-splitting cannon caused considerable casualties to the Hong army. The Hong army quickly snatched a mountain-splitting cannon. The officers shouted: "Drive that Bo Batian and kill that Bo Batian!"

The mountain-splitting cannon was filled with double lead and gunpowder. With a whistle, the brave general of the Qing army, Bo Batian, had been swept by hundreds of leads, covered in blood.

The man's name is Bo Ba, and he is a destined desperate person in the Green Camp Chuzhou Town. As soon as he died, the Qing army was frightened and immediately retreated dozens of steps. The brigade of Hong Army officers and soldiers had already climbed up from the ladder, but they attacked forward again, but they still encountered resistance from the Qing army.

At this time, another team of Qing soldiers shouted: "Snatch Bo Batian's body back, brothers, we must be worthy of our conscience!"

This yell triggered another small-scale white soldiers battle between the two sides. The Qing army was defeated quickly. At this time, some officers and soldiers found that although Bo Batian had been hit by dozens or hundreds of leads, they still didn't get hung up. They immediately said angrily: "Still this dog thief to death!"

Poke! Poke! Poke! It’s okay if you have anything to do, but any passing Hong Army officers and soldiers stabbed Bo Ba with a bayonet, and then shouted with relief: “If you don’t surrender, this is the end!”

Bo Ba could still struggle for a moment or two at first, but later the officers and soldiers stabbed the bayonets everywhere, and he couldn't speak. He saw many Qing soldiers on the opposite side so scared by the scene that they knelt on the ground and surrendered: "We have surrender!"

However, the battle in Lishui City did not end. After all, this is the place where the capital is located, and there are many soldiers and bravery. The Qing Dynasty had been operating here for more than two hundred years, and there were often some unexpected casualties.

After half an hour of fighting, the exact news finally came: "The Qing Yao broke through the west!"

When Liu Chang heard the news, he also relaxed: "There is a team of Battalion Commander Zhou, and Qing Yao is looking for death when he goes west!"

The battle to eliminate the remaining enemies lasted for half an afternoon. In the end, Zhuang Yong and the Qing soldiers who took off their hair and hid in the houses were found 500 or 600. However, this battle was also an attack battle. After the battle, at least more than 100 casualties were killed or killed in each infantry battalion.

In this case, Liu Chang could only wait quietly for Zhou Xiuying's battle report. It was not until the evening that good news came: "The seven hundred Qing Yao who broke through the siege was intercepted by Battalion Commander Zhou and beaten up, killing more than two-thirds of the enemy. Among them, the deaths were the prefect of Heng Gong of Chuzhou, the magistrate of Lishui County, the acting general of Chuzhou Town, and others..."

This was a successful conclusion. Liu Chang nodded and issued an order: "The army will rest in Chuzhou Prefecture for one night and will return to Jinhua tomorrow morning!"

This time was a bit hasty, and there was no time to sort out the spoils, but Lu Ziyun had already made a guarantee in front of each battalion commander that no matter how much gold and silver they were found afterwards, they would be handled uniformly by the inspection.

His only request was that he would temporarily deal with the seized food. If Niudao Camp and ** Camp want to develop and survive in Chuzhou, food is essential.

Liu Chang agreed. The next morning, the troops drove directly northward. However, after only one morning, a good news came from Sun Huzi: "The general who came to the Jiangnan camp to aid was not Zhang Guoliang, he had figured it out, it was Zhang Yuliang!"
