Chapter 70: The evil dragon attacks Jinling

"kill!"

Zhongshan Tianbao City is located in the east of Tianjing City, on the top of the Xifeng Mountain in Zijin Mountain. It is built in the silence of the cliff. It can overlook the whole city and echoes the fortress at the bottom of Xifeng Mountain. The two military fortresses, as strategic locations of the Taiping Army, control the invading enemies such as Yaohuamen, Chalukou, etc. in the northeast, and Qilinmen and Shangfangmen in the southeast.

At this time, the west peak of Zijin Mountain was shocked by the sound of killing, and Pingyuan's army launched a fierce attack on the Tianbao bunker.

The "attack order" issued by the Regent himself, the Pingyuan Army infantry squads crawled up, artillery roaring, and thick smoke rolled everywhere.

The red turbans who were stubbornly resisting seemed crazy. After the stone trench, countless guns were extended, and the guns were deafening. Perhaps people would not care about anything when they reached a desperate situation. They could stretch their heads and shrank their heads as well as one sword. They could fight for one life and make one profit. In the two small castles, the Pingyuan Army, which was everywhere, almost inch by inch, although because the two fortresses were dangerous; although because officers at all levels of the Pingyuan Army had gradually learned to no longer rely on the tactics of the people under superior firepower, and learned to cherish the lives of soldiers; but the tenacious resistance of the Taiping Army was obvious.

A team of red turbans broke out at the east gate, intending to support the friendly troops of the bunker, but was attacked by artillery fire from Pingyuan Army. After one after another, the commander saw that it was not the momentum, as if the Pingyuan Army's artillery had already adjusted its angle to wait for them, so he urgently ordered the retreat. The red turbans left hundreds of bodies and retreated back to the city.

At this time, You ordered the infantry to form a team to penetrate little by little. If it were replaced by himself, he would have ordered a strong attack like a destruction. In less than an hour, he would have taken down the hill.

Ye Zhao looked at Harichi but smiled. He took the paper from the officer who was kneeling to present the war report, glanced at him and said with a smile: "Old Ha, you are getting more and more powerful in this battle."

The staff and military officers were even more blushing, and they felt that they were being thrust into their mouths. They felt so uncomfortable. What could be more unbearable than being ridiculed by the prince? It could even be said to be a lifelong shame.

Who knew that listening to the prince's laughter was very relaxed, and there was no sarcasm. "The casualties were very light, and I could eliminate the enemy, which was very worthy of my wish." Ye Zhao smiled and patted Harichi on the shoulder again.

Harric said respectfully: "That's what I think. This hill will take down a few hours earlier and a few hours later and will have no effect on the prince's general attack. Therefore, it will try not to hurt anyone's life. But if the prince orders it and falls into it within one hour, the servant will be sure to be despised."

Ye Zhao nodded slightly. To be honest, even if he develops a master soldier in the Western world in the future, he still has to rely on his technological advantages and excellent tactical qualities that are ahead of the other party. This is a kind of honor, and it does not mean that he is afraid of life and death, and is not brave.

Seeing that the prince was very favored by the general, he even went to the observation stand with the general. The staff officers looked at me, and I looked at you, looking at each other, and the prince's pulse was really accurate.

Turning back and looking at Nanjing City, Ye Zhao took out the cigarette bag again. In this life, he had no girlfriend nagging. Even the matchmaker, who was as imposing as a husband, was very caring and gentle, and it would be so happy to think about it.

"Master, will the servant mobilize the cannons to the Castle City?" Harric asked respectfully.

The city of Tianbao City is located in Nanjing. You can mobilize artillery to go up the mountain to deal a devastating blow to the city.

Ye Zhao waved his hand, and Harric bowed and said, "Yes, Master, merciful!"

Since Guangzhou, Harric has been following Ye Zhao, and now he knows more and more that he has not followed the wrong person. The prince is in a divine and powerful way, and his eyes are far beyond ordinary people's imagination. What are the Six Kings, the Little Prince, and the Light of Fireflies. In this chaotic world where Western barbarians advance eastward and bandits are rising, it is thanks to the prince's divine needle that has suppressed the tremendous changes in the world and avoided a catastrophe of the shift of heaven and earth.

The prince often has a kind heart and forgiveness. As he saw personally, most of the saints from ancient times to the present were only fragrant in paper and ink. The beautification of later generations was like the prince, and there was no one who was like the prince.

The prince really cared about the people of the world, rather than trying his best to seize power all day long. As one of the prince’s most trusted generals, Harric felt deeply about this more deeply than anyone else. Even himself often reflected on, is human life really so precious? Are beggars and officials two completely equal individuals to the country?

In the country and individuals, words like words often appear inadvertently. They gradually learn and gradually gain their own understanding.

At first, he followed the prince for fame and fortune. But now, Haric felt that his luck was better than all the ministers from ancient times to the present. When he met such an incredible master, what kind of virtue did Haric have? He was lucky enough to hold a whip for such a holy master.

When the prince did not want the artillery soldiers to go to the Purple Gold Mountain, Harric understood the prince's intentions, and felt even more moved. He felt that he had begun to be compassionate and had some saints. Then he secretly spat on himself, "What are you? You have broken Nanjing City, don't be able to control it for a while. Hearing that the fake king Wang Niang beauties are so beautiful that he won the whole country, don't end up being confused and secretly robbed Wang Niang for happiness. Then the prince is furious, and the second-rate on his head will not be very reliable."

Ye Zhao didn't know that Harric felt that he had gotten rid of the low-level fun, and he thought about how to break the city and get some oil. He sucked the cigarette and looked at the Nanjing city that seemed to be covered with a golden halo under the setting sun, and sighed softly: "Matchmaker, there is no news about Zhou Lichun yet?"

"Yes." The matchmaker nodded.

"No news has been heard in the city, right?"

The matchmaker nodded again.

There are people from the Internal Affairs Bureau and people from the Flying Tiger Camp in Nanjing, but they are not very important and have a small number of people, so I can't help much.

Now Ye Zhao only hopes that the "Zhang Jigeng" in the city can spread some news.

Zhang Jigeng should be the most famous spy in the Qing Dynasty. His father was the county magistrate, and he was an aide to the governor of Hunan. Later, he fell into the hands of the Taiping Army and joined the army by his pseudonym. Later, he sneaked into the Beidian Yuya, sneaked into the water camp to join the army and provoked the Taiping Army to rebel. The situation was exposed, but he did not find out. Then he lurked into Nanjing City with his pseudonym Ye Zhifa, and became the chief of the brigade in front of the palace. He also contacted many like-minded people and secretly communicated with Jiangnan Daying. However, Jiangnan Daying was very loyal and stupid at that time. He agreed with him seven times to attack the city and broke the appointment seven times. The spies in the city were panicked. Zhang Jigeng sneaked out of Nanjing overnight and went to Jiangnan Daying to cry and ask for troops. The generals were shocked. Jiangnan Daying assistant Zhang Guoliang kept him with the army, but he refused and returned to Nanjing City.

Who knew that for the eighth time, Jiangnan Camp got an appointment again, "the army failed to meet the rain and snow." At this point, Zhang Jigeng finally failed and was captured and killed by the Taiping Army. But he was the most famous spy in China in the 19th century.

Ye Zhao felt that Zhang Jigeng should not be an independent phenomenon. The Southern Dynasties are so powerful now. Those scholars in the city who were either forced to surrender to the Taiping Army for wealth or fortunateness are afraid that there are many people who want to turn their guns around at this time, but the city defense is very strict, but the news is difficult to release.

In fact, it is no problem to use the power of the Pingyuan Army's artillery to break through Nanjing. Not to mention the Pingyuan Army, the Western artillery team formed by Li Hongzhang relied on huge Shanghai equipment to destroy cities and walls. After conquering Suzhou, because Tianjing could not capture it for a long time, the Qing court ordered him to attack Jinling, which made Zeng Wenzheng and Zeng Guoquan feel worried, afraid of being robbed of merit. Fortunately, Li Hongzhang wanted to be a man of beauty and reported that the heat of the fire was not good for firearms, which delayed time. The Qing court quickly conquered Jinling and continued to urge Li Hongzhang to advance, and his words were inspiring. Zeng Guoquan also used this to constantly inspire the generals. The generals swear that he would rather dig tunnels one by one than to use the Western artillery to leverage others' Western artillery. The battle in Nanjing was extremely fierce, and after the city was broken, it was even more hell on earth.

Now Ye Zhao also chose to break the city during the hot summer, but the artillery was sharp. The Hunan Army was hard to beat at that time.

But it is easy to break the city, so it is extremely difficult to avoid a catastrophe in the ancient capitals of the Six Dynasties. Moreover, tens of thousands of bandits in the city were red and their eyes were red. But I don’t know how many soldiers of Pingyuan Army were going to sprinkle the blood of this ancient city.

How should the northern country, which has gradually been able to produce firearms and is constantly growing in full bloom?

Looking at Nanjing City, Ye Zhao was smoking a cigarette and thinking.
