Chapter 223 The final sound of Dongguan!

The iron-shell mines showed their power as Changsheng threw them one by one, exploding in the tunnel of the East Gate!

It suddenly became very lively!

"Ha ha ha ha."

"Bring it on!"

"It's fucking awesome!"

"You should have been beaten like this a long time ago!"

"Erzhuer, go! Go quickly!"

"Move more, move more quickly!"

Seeing the enemy cavalrymen below the city being blown to pieces, Changsheng became wildly excited.

He twisted half of his body, laughed madly and fiercely beside the broken wall, and kept urging him.

But after shouting for a while, he looked back and found that Erzhuer had actually left the place and was walking back to the entrance of the road!
Erzhuer appeared, covering his stomach with one hand while moving, his body swaying, and his only remaining good arm had a mine hanging on the shoulder.

He walked like this once, twice, and three times!

As he walked hurriedly, the ground was wet with blood from his coughed-up mouth!
He is deeply hurt and will not live long!

The seventh trip!

Erzhuer felt that his body could no longer support him. Suddenly, his eyes went dark and he fell to his death on the path!

The corpse fell down, bumping into things and rolling down the stone steps!
Also rolling down was the land mine on his shoulder that failed to make it to the place of immortality for the eighth time!
boom!
Boom boom!

In front of the pass, the loud sound of the land mine exploding was still echoing around the gap in the city gate!

Along with this, there was also Zhou Changsheng's almost insane laughter!

"Hahaha"

"It's great! It's great!"

"Blast you sons of bitches to death!"

"Come on?!"

"Just keep going!"

"Erzhuer?!"

"Erzhu'er?! Damn it, why are you so slow!"

"hurry up!"

"The land mines can't keep up!"

"Move!"

"Bring some more to me!"

"Erzhuer! Erzhuer!"

"Where the hell have you been slacking off again?!"

"Get up the fucking hell and get to work!"

"Erzhuer!"

"two"

Xingkong shouted for a while, and Changsheng turned around suddenly, seeing only broken walls and ruins in front of him.

On the eastern section of the city wall in the distance, it was pitch black and dim!

Suddenly, Changsheng’s hoarse roar stopped abruptly!

He suddenly stopped talking, as if he suddenly came to his senses!

He understood that Erzhuer might never come back!

The moment this thought came to his mind, Changsheng's lips trembled and he was in extreme grief!
At this moment, his legs had lost too much blood and his face had turned pale.

It has reached the point where the fuel is running out!

He gritted his teeth and swallowed his saliva, letting two lines of tears roll down!
He fumbled with his hands around, and pulled the last mine that the two pillars in front of him had brought to his front, then lit it!

With determination, he put all his strength into it, raised his arm, and threw Lei off the city wall again!
boom!
The sound of explosions echoed!

The last sound from the East Gate! Zhou Changsheng kept throwing the bomb until his death. In the end, he bled dry and died stiffly at the East Gate of the city, among the broken walls, with his eyes wide open!
That’s it!
The battle for the entire city began at midnight on May 6th. After a day and night of attack and defense, the entire city was set on fire on the evening of the seventh!

It was not until the evening of Hai that the two armies were finally separated and the battle finally came to an end!
In this battle, Li Huchen's army lost more than 1,500 soldiers, leaving only about 1,000 soldiers and horses.

At 21:45 p.m., all the troops rushed to the northwest of Mancheng, the designated assembly point, near Hongshaling.

In front of Dongguan, all 26 people in the two infantry squads led by Zhou Changsheng were killed in battle!
After the fire spread throughout the city, among the soldiers who stayed in the city to carry out their duties, only twenty-nine of them were able to escape and return to their troops!
A tragic victory over the entire city, what great warriors!
On the contrary!

The losses and casualties of the troops led by Wu Sangui this time must have been even greater!

The two thousand soldiers and horses of General Wu Guogui of the front camp of the Guanning Army were all wiped out here. The commander of the front camp, Wu Guogui, was also killed by a hail of arrows in front of the pass!

The Hu Xinshui troops in the left camp lost more than eight hundred soldiers while attacking the city!

Afterwards, his rear troops were trapped in the sea of ​​fire in the city. Although they were fortunately rescued by Wu Sangui's artillery fire in front of the East Gate and opened a gap, under the desperate blocking efforts of Zhou Changsheng's team, less than three hundred people escaped from the city!

As a result, they attacked the city of Manchuria. Not only did Wu Sangui's troops fail to achieve any success, but they also suffered more than 3,400 casualties!
On the evening of the seventh day, he led only more than 1,300 cavalrymen left and retreated sadly!

Dejected, he rushed back southeast toward the north gate of Baoding Prefecture, ready to return to camp!

By the evening of the seventh day, the fighting in the city was over, and the statistics of the casualties of both the enemy and our army were compared!
[Sun Peizhong's troops: 2699 people (reorganized battalion) - 828 (battle casualties) = 1871 people (remaining remnants)]

[Total number of soldiers remaining: 17342; number of casualties: 9718]

On the night of the seventh day of May, at 22:15 p.m.

At the north gate of Baoding City, Ajige ordered Jixi to surrender to the Qing Han army, which was still attacking in turns!

Thanks to the firepower of the Tiger Crouching Cannon and the Red Cannon, the battle in front of the North Gate remained intense.

boom!
Boom boom!

At the same time as the enemy artillery attack came, Peizhong's troops on the city wall in front of the pass also used the city defense artillery to fire back!

Somewhere in the west of the north city, inside the parapet, in the Peizhong Army, a captain named Lu and named Gu Cang, was sitting cross-legged under the parapet amid the gunfire and smoke, with a rice bowl in his hand, eating calmly!
From time to time, enemy artillery bombarded the surroundings, making a mess with flying earth and rocks and filled with smoke and dust.

The rice bowl in Lu Gucang would be mixed with dirt and stones at any time!

But this person was quite arrogant. He didn't care about it at all and didn't sort it out. He just kept putting the food into his mouth and chewing it with big mouthfuls!

"Eh?!"

"barn!"

"You are here!"

"You were assigned to the west section?!"

Not far away, Gu Changting was inside the city wall, hurriedly coming from the west. When he saw Lu Gucang sitting with his legs crossed and eating, he was startled, stopped suddenly and greeted him.

"kindness"

"Deputy General Gu!"

"Hey! It doesn't matter where you fight!"

"I'm not picky about places!"

"Eh? That's right! Deputy General Gu, what are you doing?!"

"Why are you running here from the west?"

Lu Gucang, with rice in his mouth, answered in a vague and careless manner, and at the same time asked a question in return, and the two of them started a conversation.
