Chapter 487: Defend the Five Bridges

"Commander, Cao's army has launched a large-scale attack!"

A guard came to report later.

"I understand. I will send an order to let the three commanders call on the three weak cities in the east and west to gather at the south gate. The rest will guard each of the gates and report immediately if there is any situation."

"yes!"

Next, when Cao's army advanced within five miles, the musketeers began to march, and the city gate was about to be broken, and the city wall might not last for a while. At this time, he dispatched troops to gather at the South Gate, preparing to make a decision on a life-and-death battle.

"Listen to everyone else, we will make a profit from how many Cao troops can be left behind. Fight me and beat me hard!"

Chuchu estimated that at this time, there were still 70,000 people left in the 80,000 army. After half a day of consumption, they lost a lot, and the Chinese army also suffered losses, either dead or injured, about 10,000 people.

The troops shouted, "Beat the invaders to death! Beat the invaders to death! Beat the invaders to death!"

"Okay, get ready!…Fire!"

With the continuous attack of Cao's army, Qing Cang began to counterattack.

Boom boom boom boom

The cannons began to bomb Cao's army.

Bang bang bang

The shells quickly began to hit the ground and blasted away a lot of dust. However, the damage to personnel was limited, because the enemy's personnel were too dispersed, and this kind of attack was the most suitable place for personnel gatherings.

Seeing this, Chen Shou immediately burst into laughter.

"Qing Cang, you must be slaughtered by us, hahaha!"

"What! What is that!"

Suddenly he saw something, and saw Qing Cang re-mounting the cannon and facing Cao Jun.

He immediately realized that it was not good. Generally speaking, he would not be mounted on it without shells. Unless it was a game, but when he was fighting, how could he have the heart to play?

It was not until Qing Cang pulled the trigger that he put down the telescope in disbelief.

Boom...boom...boom

The attack frequency of the cannon is different from that of the cannon and is easier to identify. As soon as it fires, someone begins to die under its shells.

Chen Shou was a little puzzled, and he murmured:

"There are also shells... This is impossible! His family must have opened an arsenal!"

"Come here, I'll send a telegram to inform the boss of the Black Dragon, saying that Qing Cang has more advanced weapons..."

After his men went to make arrangements, he shouted again:

"Fight! Fight for me, the speed should be fast. Once within five miles, their cannons will be useless. Don't be idle. Light them up, hit them, hit them!"

“Yes, yes, yes…”

Due to the re-joining of the cannon, Chen Shou was under great pressure, so he couldn't help but increase his attack and marching efforts. Although more people would be killed, if he didn't do this, Huaxia City would not be able to defeat him, and today's organizational attack was in vain.

The Cao army continued to press forward, and they ran forward desperately. Yes, only after reaching within five miles can they avoid the bombardment of cannons, and they also have the blessing of cannons behind them, so they can not be attacked within five miles.

At this time, five troops were quickly divided from Huaxia City. They chose Cao's army's cannons to leave the city when they loaded them. Each time the number of people leaving the city was around 1,000.

They were divided into five directions and headed towards the fortification sandbag. The first person arrived, who had already mounted the musket on the sandbag. Their target was five bridges. Once an enemy wanted to cross the bridge, they had to kill them, otherwise they would be difficult to defend the entire city. Of course, this was just a normal situation. If Qing Cang was willing to pay some more in exchange for some powerful weapons, it would be another matter.

Boom boom boom boom

After another ten minutes of shooting, the shells were decreasing rapidly, and the number of cannons transported on the city walls was also decreasing.

Qing Cang knew that Cao's army probably had almost no shells at this time, right? No matter how many shells there were, they could only be consumed by five thousand cannons, which is one of the reasons why Chen Shou was eager to attack.

It was already three or four o'clock in the afternoon. The late one, the worse the vision was, and it was even more of a test for the strong attacking side.

Therefore, under Chen Shou's order, they accelerated the pace again, and some people rushed to within five miles. These people were already determined. They should have listened to Chen Shou's words and carried sandbags, which was exactly the same as Qing Cang.

Soon, more and more people reached within five miles, and some people had even started moving towards the bridge, but they did not dare to move forward. They set up sandbags at only two hundred meters from the bridge and folded them up. In this way, the fortifications would be completed soon. Not only that, they actually dug up gullies, which made Qing Cang a little puzzled. It seemed that Chen Shou was determined to capture Huaxia City. The gullies had a greater effect than sandbags, and even cannons might not be able to kill them in the branch.

"As a matter of fact, Chen Shouzhen is a tough bone to crack."

Qing Cang saw all this. When Chen Shou appeared, he already knew that he must be not easy to fight. Now it seems that this is true.

"How are the troops leaving the city now?"

"Report to the commander, a hundred thousand people have left the city and are ready."

"Okay, remember, a bridge is life, and without a bridge, it means losing your life!"

This was probably their last defense. He didn't expect to encounter the enemy with cannons before, otherwise he would have made greater financial resources to fix it in the defense arrangement. Now he can only guard the bridge head so that the enemy cannot cross the bridge.

The soldiers were also well aware of the benefits and no one dared to take it lightly. Whether it was the gunner, the musketeer, or the military personnel at the level of major regiments, they all looked heavy.

"All regiment-level soldiers, you are divided into five parts to command the bridgehead to fight! Those who have made meritorious will receive rewards! Military rank rewards are bound to be indispensable!"

"yes"

It is not just soldiers, but also leaders and commanders, otherwise this battle will be a mess. He will issue orders and implement them most efficiently, and all this depends on the regiment commander level.

What he lacks the most here is the regiment commander. The division level is basically famous generals, and they have more important things to deal with.

This made people go down to arrange matters, and the regiment commanders also worked very hard, because war was the fastest way to improve military positions, no one. After this battle, they could definitely go up to the next level and reach the peak of military positions.

"Also, add a thousand more..."

Before he could finish his order, someone said, "Commander! Minister Wang asked for a meeting!"

At this time, Wang Zongwei asked for a meeting, which made Qing Cang feel relaxed. He turned into the city tower. At this time, Wang Zongwei was asking for a meeting, and he brought some good things. Some good things that might allow the Chinese Legion to completely defeat Cao's army.
Chapter completed!
