The staff officer said: "This doesn't work, how could there be no one around you to protect you?"

Qi Qitao said: "If you win, I will naturally be as stable as Mount Tai! If you lose, what's the use of keeping guards by my side? Go and execute the order!"

Soon it became bright, and the attack organized by Liu Wenxiu still continued like a tide after dawn! Moreover, Liu Wenxiu made up his mind, regardless of whether it was a wounded or not, as long as he could fight, he would be marshalled to fight!

Now, outside the walls of the three attack sites, the soil can no longer be seen in its original color! Because it has been watered by the blood of tens of thousands of people!

Now Liu Wenxiu no longer counts the casualties. He just mechanically regroups the withdrawn people and then asks them to rest. When the time comes, he will be sent to the battlefield.

The foot of the two hills and the hillsides were already full of corpses. The soldiers of the Daxi Army were simply stepping on the corpses and charging forward! At this time, these soldiers no longer had the idea of ​​fighting enthusiastically. They just followed the orders of the supervisory team to go to the slaughterhouse one by one!

To be honest, Qi Qitao is not easy here! What does it mean to kill people so much? It is their current state! To be honest, without the mutual reinforcement of thirty cannons and the cover of accompanying infantry cannons, they could not resist these waves of charges with their muskets alone!

Although the enemy is often at a loss, this mental pressure cannot be retreated. The mental pressure is fed back to the body. Under double torture, the soldiers' physical strength has reached its limit!

What supports them in combat now is just not wanting to give up this simple idea. At this time, all the soldiers were fighting mechanically like the soldiers of the Daxi Army!

Sometimes when the enemy approaches, the artillery on the top of the mountain will take the lead in firing! They will use the advantage of the mountain to bombard the Daxi Army with flowering bullets! After the Daxi Army crosses the angle that can be shot, the artillery on the two hills will turn the guns and bombard the frontier of another position.

Then the soldiers will use infantry to carry cannons to bombard the layers of wooden shields of the Western Army! When a hole is opened, the soldiers will rush into the gap.

Shoot until the opponent retreats! Then take a break and reserve some supplies so that you can wait for the next round of battle!

This kind of combat method can no longer be called a combat method, it is simply torture! In the past, all soldiers were proud of killing enemies! But today they were dizzy and killed, and they didn't want to kill anymore! Because they saw too much death and blood on this day!

The battle continued until noon, and the soldiers were extremely tired! Qi Qitao had to order to give up the second line of defense and retreat to the third line of defense.

The reason why Qi Qitao did this was because the soldiers were extremely tired. As a result, a soldier who installed a wooden fuse to the flowering bullet calculated the amount of gunpowder incorrectly! As a result, it exploded in front of his position shortly after the shell was shot out! If the charge amount was less, it would probably explode in his position!

Qi Qitao just wanted to use the time when the second line of defense was ignited to give the soldiers a good rest! However, this method also has a flaw, that is, when the hills on both sides retreat into the third line of defense, the central camp must also retreat to the second line of defense!

Because the second front on the two hills is basically the same as the wall of the central camp! If they do not give up on their own initiative, the soldiers of the Daxi Army can rush into the central camp from the side, and then they will find that the central camp is already strong outside and the middle!

Because Qi Qitao sent all the soldiers who could be used to the positions on both sides. There are only a small number of soldiers in the central position, and the rest are all the people wearing armor and pretending to be soldiers! However, because the village walls here are very tall, Liu Wenxiu did not regard this place as the real main attack direction after trying several times.

At this time, Qi Qitao had never calculated the time so anxiously! At this time, he wanted to pull down the sun shining with warm light in the sky! Because the return time reported to him by the Inland Fleet was this afternoon.

But now he was very doubtful whether he could last until the arrival of the Inland Fleet? His current defense line was like an inflatable balloon. If a hole was pierced anywhere, it would explode and smash it with a "bang"!

Enlightenment

Tao made the worst preparations, and he had asked the people to build the last fortification on the river beach. If the front could not resist, the soldiers would withdraw back to the fortification and then cross the river in batches with their only ships.

In fact, the first people who crossed the river had already reached the opposite side of the river. The main personnel were the wounded soldiers, all the women and children among the people, as well as the bodies of the fallen soldiers.

When the defense line was completed, Qi Qitao said to the staff officer with a self-deprecating voice: "You see, you said it takes four times to transport people over! But now we only need three times at most!"

The staff officer just smiled silently. Qi Qitao said, "Let's go, let's go to patrol the front line. Maybe we will have to retreat soon!"

Qi Qitao reorganized his armor and began to walk towards the front line. As the highest commander in the local area, he has been on the battlefield more than once! This is enough to show how critical the situation is!

As soon as Qi Qitao and the others arrived at the camp, a personal soldier ran over. Qi Qitao saw his face and knew that something must have happened, and it was definitely not a good thing!

As soon as the personal soldier ran closer, Qi Qitao scolded him and said, "Why are you panicking? You can't panic no matter what happens at this time! Especially as my personal soldier, you can't have such problems! You'd better calm down now!"

The personal soldier was scolded by Qi Qitao and understood what he meant. He stopped and took a few deep breaths. After calming down his breath, he said, "General, there is a big problem now, that is, the infantry's gunpowder carrying the running cannon is almost used up, and it will not last long!"

Qi Qitao was anxious when he heard this! But he lowered his voice and said, "I remember it was stored according to the number of three bases, so why is it not enough?"

The personal soldier said: "We didn't expect the Western Army to be so tenacious at the beginning? Who would have thought that they had fought with us for a day and a night, and there were so many people? If it weren't for these artillery support, we would probably have been unable to support it!"
