The red-coated cannon fired first to suppress it, although it was not enough to shoot and not a flowering shell, but it was powerful and powerful, and the morale of its own army was no less effective than the drums of war. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

As soon as the cannon fired, the archers and musketeers began to press, and although they would be hit by the fire of the defenders on the walls, they were superior in numbers and the small casualties of the scattered troops were still bearable.

Not to mention the backwardness of the bow and arrow, the bow and arrow are actually more useful than muskets in siege warfare, because skilled archers can change the trajectory of their own arrows, shoot bows and arrows into the sky in a curved manner, and then drop directly over the enemy's heads.

This kind of curved attack is more effective than the straight trajectory of the rifle, after all, there are battlements in the walls to provide cover for the defenders, and most of the firepower is wasted on the wall bricks with direct fire, while the curved projectile directly hits the enemy's head.

There were as many as 2,000 archers and musketeers, which could completely suppress the enemy's fire on the city, and then they could dodge while the grease-soaked carts could attack the city gates.

Of course, Jin Zuoling knew that using gunpowder to blow up the city gate was the most efficient, but unfortunately the largest gunpowder magazine in Qiqihar City was in the city, and now the explosives in Jin Zuoling's hand were at most enough to fry some fish to eat.

Cannons open the way, bows and arrows suppress the fire, and fire attacks the city gates...... In the end, the cavalry rushed up and rushed up against the enemy's bullets, killing the group of rebels.

The plan was perfect, but unfortunately it was implemented a little late, and if the cavalry had been used two or three hours earlier, it would have been difficult to say what the coup would have been.

Just as Jin Zuo led the horseback to boost the morale of his men and promised a reward afterwards, Vice Adjutant Lin ascended the city, holding a large iron horn common to the volunteers and shouting below.

"Jin Zuoling! Do you remember my old forest? Five years ago, when I went to Beijing to report on my work, you and I have traveled more than 200 miles! Have you forgotten this friendship?"

When Jin Zuoling heard this, he put his hand on the pergola and looked up, and suddenly became angry: "Wow, yes! The surname is Lin! I didn't expect it to be you...... Where do we in Heilongjiang have an enmity with you, and you dare to rebel! Aren't you afraid of punishing the Nine Clans!"

"Bullshit Zhujiu clan! Let me tell you the truth, we are on the side of the Qing monarch! Tepuxinli is in contact with foreign countries, colludes with Rakshasa ghosts, and privately lets go of the Heilongjiang border defense, and let those Cossacks go through the aisle to fight the Far Eastern volunteers! This is a traitorous ...... the country."

"Kill the traitors!" General Hunchun left his name in history...... You wake up as soon as possible, there is still a chance, and you will wait for death if you go to the dark!"

There was a buzz from the city, and the soldiers began to whisper, "It turns out that the rumors are true? Ningguta is really a rakshasa ghost? Or did our general let it in? This is a lack of virtue......

"Shh......h Let's be quiet, let's fight a war! We don't care what is going on up there, and we don't know if it's true or not, what do you care about when you are a soldier and eat food?"

"It's not a matter of eating food or not eating food, it's a fucking national war! It's one thing to close the door and fight by yourself, what's the matter with letting the Rakshasa ghost in?"

Of course, the matter of Tepuxin letting the Rakshasa ghost enter the country will not be publicized with great fanfare, and the route of the Rakshasa ghost entering the army is the ice surface of the Songhua River, which is the dividing line between Hunchun and Tepuxin's defense area.

If you can hide it, this is the motto of the late Qing Dynasty officials, and if you want to hide it from the top, you must hide it from the bottom. These defenders of Qiqihar did not actually know the truth about the Cossack crossing.

But rumors are still spreading rapidly, and there are indeed some people in the army who are telling about this matter, although there is no way to confirm it, but people are still willing to inquire about this kind of gossip driven by curiosity.

When someone now proved to them that this was true, the shock in everyone's hearts was self-evident, and the officers who had known the news for a long time looked embarrassed, while the soldiers who did not know the truth looked at each other one by one.

When Jin Zuoling saw that this was repaid, the morale that had just been boosted shook when he saw it.

"Framed! You surnamed Lin are framed! Don't believe him...... Prepare for the siege!"

"Hahaha......" Lao Lin laughed wildly, "I framed me, Lao Tzu, I broke through Tepuxin's General's Mansion, and the study has already made me copy a copy of the bottom, the evidence is in my hands, you dare to say that I framed ......"

After finishing speaking, he directly unfolded a letter: "The paperwork of the General's Mansion has the filing of the order issued by Tepuxin in my hand, and I have a box of this kind of filing!"

"I've already checked all the orders he gave to the defenders of the passes...... Again, try to frame Lao Tzu! These are the orders issued by Tepukhin himself, and there are countless references to the order to release the pass and let the Cossacks enter the country!"

"You quibble, I will listen to another quibble......

Across the city wall, of course the soldiers below can't see the words on it, but listening to the categorical tone of the people, everyone softened, it seems that this matter is eighty percent true, otherwise it is impossible to rebel by borrowing a leopard gall from Hunchun!

Jin Zuoling's face was red and his ears were red when he was excited, and he was dumbfounded for a while, but he had to send the arrow on the string, and he was ruthless: "Damn! The order was issued by the Forbidden City! What can we do with the order of the imperial court?"

"Brothers, the general also had to accept the orders of the imperial court to open the port...... Don't think about it now, let's take back our own home first! If nothing else, we have to work hard for our own home!"

Qiqihar City is everyone's job, and the tax here is the money and food given by the imperial court every year, which is the food and clothing of the army on weekdays.

If Heilongjiang finally falls into Hunchun's hands, the money will be cheap for outsiders! The reason is very simple, and it is also the closest to the hearts of the people, and countless soldiers nodded one after another.

Lao Lin on the city wall didn't expect that this surnamed Jin was quite difficult, and at this time, the dog-headed military master Wang Ba Lizi beside him came out and whispered a few words in his ear.

Lao Lin's eyes lit up, and he immediately laughed and said, "Who do you want to deceive when you are surnamed Jin? You are a fool to be a soldier and a civilian in Heilongjiang?"

"When the Holy Ancestor Kangxi was here, he fought with the Rakshasa ghosts, how was the Nebuchu Treaty signed?

"Ten years ago, the shameless Rakshasa ghost took advantage of the trouble in the south to make trouble, and the Jingshi encountered foreign invaders to send troops to attack Aihui City! forced Yishan to sign a treaty, and then forced Prince Gong to sign a Sino-Russian treaty, which made me lose millions of kilometers of land!"

"This is the great enemy of life and death of the national dynasty! How could the imperial court make such an order? Do you fool the soldiers and civilians of Heilongjiang as stupid roe deer?"

Lao Lin shouted loudly, and his vocal cords were about to be torn: "There is no imperial decree at all! It's just that Tepuxin himself is greedy for life and afraid of death! He is the second Yishan! He is a stinky and shameless traitor!"

With a terrible roar, all the officers and soldiers in the city were dumbfounded!
