Chapter 213: Rumbling Cannon (First Update, Ask for Subscription)

A Qinhuai River, I don't know how many talented and beautiful people have been entrenched. On this painting boat, in the green buildings, there are many women who have not been "combed" and are eager for him to meet a talented man one day, and from then on, they will live and fly together, but for most people, everything is just fantasy.

Leaning on the window of "Mei Xianglou", Li Xiangjun looked at the Qinhuai River in the distance, and the frozen river was shrouded in a layer of mist, like a fairyland, but her mood seemed a little heavy.

Looking out from the "Meixiang Building", you can see those refugees who live by the river with sheds under willow trees and plum trees, and those refugees have fled from Jiangbei.

For many days, she could hear the literati and upright ministers in the "Meixiang Building" talking about the atrocities of killing people and setting fires everywhere in the "Meixiang Building" every day, and she could also hear their worries about the society and the society, and she could also hear their dissatisfaction with the situation.

But when the Dongyu soldiers came to the city of Nanjing, those upright Geng ministers had no idea, and the business of the Qinglou was better these days, and those people were all drinking and sighing in the Qinglou, worrying about their family and country.

But what's the use of that?

What's wrong with this Ming world?

Standing in front of the window, Li Xiangjun stared blankly at the fireworks raised by the refugees on Zhongshan Mountain, at the refugees who fled from all over the country, at the ragged people, huddled in the cold wind, and she couldn't help complaining about those literati in her heart.

"You are so worried about state affairs, why don't you let De Shizi lead the troops? Why is he still said to be arrogant? As long as you can defeat Dongyu, wouldn't it be good? ”

Just when this thought came to Li Xiangjun's heart, the door on the other side of the room was suddenly pushed in, and it was her adoptive mother who walked in.

Li Zhenli, who was holding a coarse cloth coat in her hand, said urgently as soon as she entered the room.

"Jun'er, quick, hurry up and change your clothes and hide in the city with me!"

"Mother, what's wrong?"

"I just heard Xu Shilang of the household department say that Inspector Shi has been wiped out, and Qian Qianyi and they have already gone out of the city to discuss with Donglu how to surrender, and it is estimated that the city gate must be opened. Dongyu! I've also heard people say that some people say that Dongyu asked for Qin Huai Lenu, and asked us to reward the three armies......"

"Ahh

Hearing this, Li Xiangjun's beautiful face instantly lost blood...... Dong Yusuo, ask for Qin Huai Le Nu!

"Those old men, why don't you stick to Nanjing? Do you want to sacrifice the city? How can they be so shameless! ”

"Shameless! Daughter, now it's time to scold them urgently, hurry up and change your clothes and hide with your mother! ”

At this moment, a rapid thunderclap sounded in the sky, not winter thunder, but cannons. Listening to the sound of cannons, the two of them all looked up in the direction of the south of the city.

Where did this cannon sound come from?

Not to mention the people in the city, even Qian Qianyi, who was in the Qing army camp outside the city, was dumbfounded, and when the cannon sounded, Qian Qianyi was still there talking about the conditions given by the city - to offer gold, silver and cloth to redeem the city, and only ask the east to retreat. And the conditions offered by the people in the city are also extremely generous. "500,000 taels of gold, 5,000,000 taels of silver, 300,000 horses of silk, 500,000 horses of cloth, and 200,000 stones of grain"...... Of course, these treasures were raised by the wealthy merchants in the city, and even if they increased a little, it would not matter, anyway, there were countless rich families in the city, and some of them were gold, silver, money, and grain.

But here, before he could bargain with Dongyu, the sudden sound of cannons over there made him dumbfounded, and Abatai, who felt that he had been tricked, was furious and actually drew a knife and hacked to death the woman who served the wine next to him, and then shouted.

"Qian Qianyi, you entered the camp with the front foot and counterattacked my army with the back foot, do you really think that I won't kill?"

In a fit of rage, Abatai shouted again.

"Come on, pull this old thing out and cut it down for me!"

"Ahh

In an instant, Qian Qianyi's whole person was scared stupid, just when his mind was blank, this, what's going on?

I only heard Hou Fangyu on the side say.

"Lord Baylor is angry, Lord Baylor is angry, let's figure out the situation first,"

Lord Belle was furious...... ...... of the two armies"

Qian Qianyi, who was originally being dragged out, hurriedly swallowed the remaining words in his mouth and changed his words.

"I, I don't know what's going on, the world, the nephew save me, save me......"

Qian Qianyi cast his eyes on Hou Fangyu, and on the day he first entered the camp, he recognized who this young man dressed as a prisoner was, he was Hou Sui's son!

Hou Sui's son actually surrendered to the east!

Although he was surprised, but thanks to Hou Fangyu's mediation, these negotiations allowed Abatai to fall into the "delaying strategy", and now seeing that he is about to die, he naturally wants to ask him for help.

When he was calling for help, the sound of cannons in the distance was rolling, who was firing the cannons? On the top of the city...... Who is so bold?

Amid the rumbling sound of cannons, someone suddenly broke into the big tent and reported loudly.

"Lord Belle, Ming Dog, Ming Dog killed from the waterway......"

"Ming Dog from there!"

Abatai shouted.

"The cannon they fired on the ship, well, it seems to be in the same group as Xuzhou!"

There is as if it is, and it is clearly there!

It took two full days for the officers and men of the 100 boats to arrive in Nanjing, and according to the information they had in advance, under the guidance of the old boatman, the boats would stick to the bank of the Yangtze River, close to the mouth of the river, so as to get as close to the enemy as possible.

In the Yangtze River in winter, the thick river fog that permeates the river surface all day long, under the cover of the river fog, the existence of this fleet was not discovered at all, and it was not even until they sailed towards the mouth of the river on the shore that the Qing army on the river side did not discover their existence.

However, at this time, it was already night, although the boat had not yet reached the river, but it saw that the camp of the Qing army had been discovered, and it was only about 300 zhang away from the river.

Such a good opportunity, even if Hu Shoujin is not good at water warfare, he also knows that the opportunity is rare. At the same time that the Qing army discovered them, he gave the order to open fire.

"Boom!"

Hu Shoujin, who was on the boat, stared at the Qing army on the river bank and shouted loudly.

Just like in Xuzhou, with an order, the "mortar cannon" mounted on the bow of the cao boat immediately rained bullets on the river bank, compared with the nine-catty mountain grenade, the rate of fire of this eighteen-catty "mortar cannon" is extremely fast. More than 300 zhang!

It is almost the maximum range of the mortar artillery, because the target is the entire barracks, so there is no need to aim at all, just aim the muzzle in the direction of the battalion and fire at the maximum angle of fire.

The scene of a hundred cannons firing at one end was quite amazing, accompanied by a burst of thunderous cannons, and clouds of white smoke suddenly poured out on the surface of the river, and the smoke merged into a ball under the blowing of the river wind. But what really shocked the world was the scene of nearly 100 18-pound grenades dragging white smoke trails and whizzing down into the Qing army camp.
