The Black Flag Army outside the city had all retreated into the city. After arranging the guards, Liu Yongfu instructed everyone to seize the time to rest. Tomorrow was bound to be a fierce battle.
The next day, the Gaul army only began to attack at four o'clock in the afternoon. It seemed that they had suffered a lot yesterday.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!
The cannons of the Gaul Army and the cannons of the cruisers kept firing at the walls of the West Mountain.
The city wall was already riddled with holes and finally collapsed at five o'clock. The Black Flag Army relied on the houses in the city and resisted with sandbags.
Using his familiarity with the terrain, he kept shooting at them. He even suddenly jumped out and slashed a few times before disappearing inexplicably.
"Are these people really monkeys? The army was a loach! Their shadows could be seen everywhere!”
Colonel Willis of the Gaul Army looked at the fallen soldiers beside him with a headache.
"Colonel, we can't go on like this. The losses are too great!”
His adjutant said with heartache. This was a real native Gaul army. Now, a battalion had only advanced 300 meters, and more than 200 people had already died.
Even if they won, the parliament would not be able to bear the consequences under the pressure of the people.
"Stop advancing! Defend on the spot!"
"Tell the commander about the situation here and get the artillery up here! Let's see how they hide after we flatten this place!”
Willis thought for a moment and gave the order to stop advancing. He had to be alive to enjoy the credit.
"Yes, sir! Colonel!"
The adjutant immediately ran back…
In fact, they didn't need to say anything to realize the situation here. All the heavy firepower that was convenient for movement had been transferred to the front line.
The Hackzaks machine guns, three-inch cannons, and four-inch cannons began to roar. Large areas of buildings were set ablaze, and many of the Shinozaki-kun who were hiding were either killed by the flames or harvested by the shrapnel.
"Inform everyone to retreat! Let's wait until the sky turns dark and rush out!"
Liu Yongfu shook his head and gave up completely when he saw that the Gaul army had begun to slowly encroach on Xishan City.
"Damn the Qing army! The Gaul army has been dragged into this state by us. If they appear behind us now! Leave at least half of them behind!"
Huang Shouzhong cursed angrily.
"Forget it! This time, the Gaul was different from the past. He definitely had a backup plan!”
Liu Yongfu sighed. He now had a new opinion of the Gaul commander, but if the Qing army came to help, at least Shanxi would not fall.
Under the strong push of the Gaul army.
The Black Flag Army relied on the buildings in the city to resist tenaciously. Fortunately, because the Gauls attacked relatively late, the sky quickly darkened and the battle lasted until night.
The Black Flag Army retreated from Shanxi under the cover of the night. Shanxi fell, and Beining was completely isolated.
three days later
The Gauls began to move. They mobilized 30,000 soldiers and gathered near the Red River. Their goal was obvious. It was the important town of Beining that the Qing army was guarding.
From Gu Ba's point of view, Bei Ning's defense seemed to be tight, but they only focused on the inevitable defense and neglected the rear. Moreover, he despised the combat strength of the Qing army and did not use all the troops at hand.
After a simple reorganization of the new colony troops from Guangdong and Jiangsu, her husband crossed the Red River that night and headed for Beining along the main road.
"Governor! This time, the Gauls actually came directly from the front! I'll teach them a lesson this time!”
Huang Guilan said to Xu Yanxu as she laughed.
"We only need to drive away the Gauls. Don't take the initiative to attack. If the legal person suffers a huge loss, they will definitely send more troops! It'll be troublesome after that!"
Zhao Wo saw Huang Guilan's smug look and was afraid that he would go out and fight with the Gaul, so he quickly dissuaded him.
"Guilan! We naturally know about your auspicious martial arts, but we have already done a great service by guarding North Tranquility. Don't cause any more trouble!”
Xu Yanxu laughed, but in his heart, he cursed this boorish man for not knowing how to appreciate favors.
"I understand!"
Huang Guilan said nonchalantly. She then ordered the rear and left and right wings to move to the two sides of the road.
At the same time, it strengthened the defense of North Tranquility City.
That night, Xu Yanxu sneaked away after returning to Xiguang to supervise the military affairs. Zhao Wo originally wanted to leave, but as the commander of the Right Army, he would be charged with desertion if he left. In the end, he still stayed.
In the direction of Xin River, the Qing army and the Gaul army had launched a fierce battle. The Gaul army had strong firepower, but the Qing army relied on the terrain advantage, and the front line was always in a state of anxiety.
At this moment, Gu Ba did not continue to increase his troops. He had placed Brigadier General Boriya in a frontal attack to attract the attention of the North Tranquility garrison. He led 10,000 Gaul troops to the north by boat and took a detour around the rear of the Qing army, preparing to seize the high point of the back mountain of Beining.
Two days later, the Gaul Army suddenly appeared in the Surging Ball!
The soldiers guarding the mountain put up a tenacious resistance, but they were unable to stop the large number of Gaul troops. Two hours later, the Surging Ball was lost and the fort was occupied.
The cannonballs rained down on the Northern Tranquility City. The officials of the Leaping Nation were the first to open the city gates and escape.
Huang Guilan, who was outside the city, saw that the situation was hopeless and knew that she couldn't escape the blame. She drew her sword and committed suicide. The commander gave up on commanding and led his troops to escape. The Gui Army instantly scattered.
With the loss of North Tranquility, the entire southwest border was exposed to the Gauls…#Transcendence Review: Daguan time:082420182:57PM
