Chapter 1682: Recovering Haizhou (3)

Is Yue Le really unable to hear it?

Of course not!

This cannon sound is very unique, it is not the sound of your own red-coated cannon at all, and it is also different from the sound of enemy artillery outside the city at this time.

As soon as the cannon sounded, Yue Le was horrified in his heart, which made his whole body shocked—something must have happened at the East Gate.

But Yue Le couldn't say it on the spot, if he said that something happened at the east gate, it would be the truth, and the morale of the army in the city would be in chaos.

Attacked on both sides, and both were firearms that the Qing army could not return fire.

I'm not afraid of hard work, I'm so afraid that I can only be beaten!

Such a dense cannon sound came from the east gate, which can only show one thing, the enemy outside the south gate is "Ming Xiu plank road, secretly crossing Chen Cang".

Yue Le suddenly realized that he had made a fatal mistake, he had always regarded the east gate of Haizhou as an insurmountable natural danger, but at this time he realized that the sea was definitely not an obstacle for Wu Zheng, who had three major sailors.

Yue Le thought of the naval battles of Tianjin Wei and Dagu two years ago, Wu Zheng sent a naval division to attack and harass, and at that time, less than 1,000 people landed on the shore, and they fought from Dagu to the Tianjin Acropolis.

At that time, the imperial court still sent Qian Qiaogong to lead his spears and cavalry to reinforce Tianjin Wei and repel the invading enemy army, but now that I think about it, this may be just a trick to cover people's ears, right?

Yue Le had to ask the East Gate "for the sake", intending to delay the news of the attack on the East Gate spread among the army.

But he knows that this can't be hidden for long!

Yue Le thought for a moment, and immediately transferred a partial division to reinforce the East Gate, while he himself quickly beat the drum and summoned the generals, preparing to fight.

The so-called battle is to face the battle, go out of the city to fight!

This has completely deviated from Yue Le's strategy of only defending and not attacking.

But right now, there's no other way.

There were strong enemies on both sides, and if the defenders found themselves on both sides by daybreak, their morale would plummet.

The city of Haizhou was too small, and once the two directions of the east and south were fired at the same time, it was enough to cover any area of the city, and the Qing army had found a way to hide from the artillery fire outside the city by leaning against a solid wall, but it was instantly ineffective.

In the city, among the more than 16,000 people, 5,000 are cavalry, rather than being suffocated in the city and letting the enemy soldiers capture Haizhou City without blood, it is better to go out of the city and fight to the death, even if it fails, it can be ...... Turn in.

This was the only way Yue Le could think of at this time.

And this plan is correct.

Wu Zheng was already determined to win Haizhou City, and it was not something that Yue Le's 16,000 people could resist.

However, Yue Le still didn't realize two points, one is that the east and west gates have been blocked, how can they be cleaned up in a short time?

The second is that the wind and thunder cavalry has been guarding the east and west gates, and the Qing cavalry is attacking, isn't it in the middle of the wind and thunder cavalry? What's more, there is also a Xiaolin rider who is sharpening his sword?

……。

Qian Qiaogong was very depressed before.

was coldly ordered by Wu Zheng Mimi, and Qian Qiaogong understood that Wu Zheng's control of the Northern Expeditionary Army had reached the point of being leaky.

Even what he did as a commander of the Wind and Thunder Cavalry quickly reached Wu Zheng's ears, and it is conceivable that anything that happened in the army would inevitably escape the ears and eyes of Chang Lin Wei.

Qian Qiaogong is not a complaint, he actually knows very well in his heart, just as Wu Zheng said, Mimi is private morality, and the battlefield is justice.

If Mimi was really a meticulous work sent by the Qing court, then her relationship with herself would definitely come and go freely in the barracks.

But if you really want Qian Qiaogong to pretend to be a passerby in Mimi, with Qian Qiaogong's temperament, you can't do it.

Wu Zheng proposed to send Mimi to Hangzhou Mansion to hand over to his father in his name, which made Qian Qiaogong really relieved, half of the biggest difficulty was solved, and the other half was to prove his innocence.

How to prove yourself?

Fight the enemy! 19th Floor Literature

The more you kill, the more you prove your innocence!

This is Qian Qiaogong's psychology at this time.

For him, innocence is more important than his life.

Therefore, after the west gate was empty, Qian Qiaogong gave the order without thinking and made a detour to the north gate.

There is a problem here, that is, when going out to war, the Wind and Thunder Cavalry is divided into two routes, one to the west gate and one to the east gate.

But Qian Qiaogong knew very well in his heart that Wu Zheng had deployed strange troops in the east, so Qian Qiaogong didn't have to think about it, he would favor one over the other among the two soldiers.

The east road was led by Zu Dabi, while Qian Qiaogong personally led the other road and Xiaolin to ride outside the west gate.

At this time, Qian Qiaogong led his troops to the north gate.

……。

It's really a waste of money and labor.

After digging for an hour, the road of the west city gate was as thick as three zhang, and it took more than one zhang to clear out.

Seeing that the shelling sound in both directions was getting louder and denser, Yue Le began to panic a little.

While urging him to clean up quickly, he sent a team of cavalry to reinforce the north gate, which was Yue Le's subconscious reaction, because at this time, the north gate was the only one in the city where the Qing army could contact the outside world, of course, it had to be guarded, and even when the troops of the east and west gates were transferred, Yue Le did not move the north gate.

Of course, Yue Le didn't know at this time that the former "subordinate" already had a "spirit rhino" in his heart, and he also went to the direction of the north gate.

At this time, it has reached the end of the ugly time and the beginning of the Mao time.

Outside the south gate, a firework shot straight into the sky, illuminating almost half of the sky.

Yue Le's heart jumped, although he couldn't guess the meaning of this firework, but Yue Le, who had been fighting for many years, had already realized that it was unusual.

He guessed that it was likely that the enemy was about to attack.

Yue Le, you guessed right.

Wu Zheng's deployment is very simple.

The naval division did control the coast, but at this time, the naval guns did not have such a long range, and they could not reach Haizhou City at all.

Well, the only way is to land ashore.

The most difficult thing about transporting the dismantled naval guns to the east of Haizhou City, which is hundreds of miles away, is not that the guns are too heavy and the road is difficult to walk, but that the enemy cavalry will attack at any time.

So Wu Zheng decided to make a big fanfare, and with his own presence on the battlefield, it was difficult for Yue Le in the city not to be attracted.

As long as you attract the attention of the city, while it is dark, the strange soldiers can easily land and pounce on the east gate of Haizhou.

This is the real reason why Wu Zheng has continued the shelling until now, regardless of the shells.

And when the sound of the cannon at the east gate reached Wu Zheng's ears, the fireworks of this general attack were reasonable.

……。

When Wu Songwei sprinted towards the city wall with dozens of columns, carrying a cloud ladder and shouting.

The defenders of the city panicked, not because they were cowardly, but because there were too few defenders in the city.

After the artillery regiment's artillery bombardment for a whole day, Yue Le's red-coated cannons on the city were destroyed one after another, and he had to take the defenders to temporarily go down the city wall, and then go up to the city wall to defend against the enemy when the enemy attacked the city.

The problem is that it takes time to get up the walls.

A few or dozens of people go up the city wall, that's faster, but it takes thousands, or even two thousand people to line up to go up the city wall, and it takes at least half a pillar of incense to fully enter the defensive position, right?

Although it was taken in batches from the left and right stairs, it was impossible to form a sufficiently dense firepower output on the city wall at the same time.

Yue Le thought that the Northern Expeditionary Army would not attack the city at night, because no one would attack the city at the risk of losing both sides despite being able to shell the undead.
