Under the bombardment of mortar artillery, thousands of shotguns flew into the air and flew from the tin cans, like raindrops in front of the Qing army shrouded in lead rain, those whistling attack of red date-sized lead bullets, can easily tear apart the armor and beat people into a sieve.

For a time the edge of the embankment. There were broken corpses everywhere, blood was flowing all over the ground, and severed limbs and severed arms were scattered everywhere.

Well played!

Looking at the clouds of blood rising from the river embankment shrouded in a rain of shotguns, Zhu Guoqiang smiled.

"That's how it works! Let the musketeers follow suit! ”

The infantrymen who were eager to try on the side of the gunwale, after hearing the order, immediately attacked the enemy troops on the river embankment with muskets, although the distance was only 100 meters, the accuracy of the smoothbore firing gun at this distance was really touching, but the raindrops of bullets still knocked down many Qing troops, and the messy rain of bullets at least repelled the Qing army.

"Lord Shizi, it doesn't seem to have any effect! Isn't it a waste to fight like this! ”

Ding Pengcheng put down the binoculars and said,

"It's okay, boost your morale first!"

Sure enough, after a few rounds of shooting, everyone on board, despite the mediocre results, was confident of victory.

Sometimes the confidence of victory is built on such a one-sided blow.

However, soon the one-sided blow, as the Qing army's artillery team brought dozens of Franc cannons changed, and the weakness of the front legs of the gun carriage resting on the slope of the river embankment, the original condescending angle was not enough, and was immediately overcome.

Although the power of the Franc cannon is far less than that of the Hongyi cannon, a cannonball weighing one or two catties is still a threat to the boat.

The whistling projectiles smashed the guard on the left side of the bow from the bottom up, and the broken sawdust crashed into the faces of several infantrymen, causing them to fall down with their faces covered with screams, and the brothers next to them immediately rushed over and dragged the wounded into the bilge, and the carpenters on board hurriedly ran forward to inspect the ship and prepare for the sudden danger.

"Boom!"

Shells fell on the nearby river. splashed a white column of water and landed on the boat, and even Zhu Guoqiang's body was drenched with a lot of water.

"Lord Shizi!"

When Wang Weizhong and the other guards saw it, they immediately rushed over with fire.

After discovering through the drone that the Qing army had withdrawn from the northern and western edges of the city within the range of the mortar artillery to the large camp three or four miles away from the riverbank, Zhu Guoqiang frowned, and then saw that the twilight had fallen, and then said.

"Give the signal, all retreat to the north shore."

When the order was given, Zhu Guoqiang's face did not show any expression.

The lookout immediately hoisted the signal flag, and the fleet that received the signal immediately withdrew along the rolling Yellow River to the opposite bank.

"Minggou withdrew, Minggou withdrew!"

As soon as he heard that the gunboats had withdrawn, Abatai immediately rode his horse to the embankment, staring at the Ming warships densely scattered on the river, he was full of annoyance, he didn't say a word for a long time, stared at the warships on the river, and said for a while.

"Pass the order, and each of the artillery team will tattoo ten taels of silver! In addition, reward Song Guofu with 1,000 taels! ”

"Boom, boom......"

Dozens of large and small Franc cannons on the river embankment continued to roar, as if they were saluting to see off the Ming army's warships.

And the news that the Chinese army had just come from the Chinese army to reward everyone made these gunners howl with excitement, and they were as skilled as their peers.

"Call Lao Tzu! Fight to the death! Aim at the big ship with the flag in hand. ”

Song Guofu scurried between the cannons like a monkey. Madness was written in both eyes.

As a general, he even hopes to make contributions to his career more than the Manchurians behind him.

Whether it is now or in the past, he has more than once used the blood of his compatriots to prove his loyalty to his master.

Now it's no different!

"What a piece of rubbish!"

Seeing that the artillery team had been fighting for a long time and hadn't even sunk a single one, Abatai glared at Song Guofu fiercely. He frowned, and a thought popped up in his heart.

"No matter how the Eight Banners are, they must have their own artillery team!"

No matter how hard those generals fight, it is not the Eight Banners after all, and the Eight Banners must have their own artillery team!

Since these generals can betray the Ming Dynasty, they can betray the Qing Dynasty!

"Tokushiko ......"

Staring at the big flag on the Ming warship from the telescope, Abatai's face looked extremely ugly.

"Lord Belle, it seems that Xuzhou City can't be taken down!"

Minister of the Interior Turg looked at the anger on Lord Baylor's face and reminded him.

"When we are leaving, the emperor has already made a will, this time to the south, the goal is to kill and capture the southern Zhili erosion of the Southern Dynasty tax land, now since the Ming army reinforcements have arrived and the artillery fire is so sharp, if the army is delayed under the city of Xuzhou, I am afraid that the emperor will be disappointed!"

Although Turg is a deputy general, he is also Abatai's "military advisor", and Huang Taiji is not very relieved about his brother who keeps making small mistakes, making big mistakes and has courage and no strategy, so he will take Turg as his deputy general.

"I know!"

With a snort, Abatai said.

"But it's really unwilling, that person surnamed Zhu dares to sneak attack me behind my back, it's really annoying to me!"

Staring at the warships of the Ming army that had withdrawn to the other side of the river, although he was annoyed, there was nothing he could do, after all, he couldn't let people swim across the shore.

"Lord Belle, now the city of Xuzhou is definitely not a place to stay for a long time, in the eyes of the minions, they should go south at night, although Minggou has the convenience of shipping, but there is no big river to the south of Xuzhou, how can they be our opponents when they go ashore?"

Abbatey didn't say anything about Turg's suggestion, he knew that as long as the other party didn't get off the boat, he could only sit here and be beaten. With a snort, his eyes were fixed on the Ming warship on the other side, staring at the big flag in the twilight.

Although because the title given to him is too low, Abatai, who has always been suspicious, always resists Huang Taiji, but he also knows that Huang Taiji has never been a soft-hearted person, and when he broke the mountain customs wall, Huang Taiji once reproached him for refusing to go deeper. If the plan is delayed again this time, it will be a loss of life if it is not guaranteed at that time.

"But Turge, just leave Xuzhou like this, I'm really unwilling!"

Just when his heart was full of unwillingness, a man in a gray scholar's robe was next to him, who seemed to see what he was thinking. He whispered.

"Lord Belle, the slave has an idea, I don't know if I should say it or not!"

The young scholar who stood up and spoke was a slave that Abatai had just received when he broke through Guide, and it was also a coincidence that he accepted this slave, compared to other Han people, this person not only has a meritorious reputation, but the most important thing is to know the current affairs!

"Say!"

Abatai snorted, then said.

"If your idea is useful, the master will naturally not treat you badly!"

The young scholar glanced at the other side of the Yellow River, and his eyes drooped slightly.

"Master, this method of the villain can not only give this evil breath for the master, but also help the Qing Dynasty to dominate the world!"
