After recovering Huilai County, the Ming army took advantage of the situation to the west, sweeping Shenquan, Beishan and Jiazimen Qianhusuo and other key points, such as entering a no-man's land.

The defenders in these places have all been transferred back to the Jieshi Acropolis by Su Li, and Chen Kai was relieved to get such news. Originally, he made bold statements, but in fact, he didn't think that he would definitely be able to get Su Li's head in this battle. If you can't beat it, you can run, just like when you were in Huilai. But since Su Li sent people to transfer the defenders in these places, then there was only one way to defend the Jieshi Guard's lair.

"He probably still expects to be able to hold out until Huang Yingjie arrives."

The army stepped into the territory of Huizhou Mansion and went straight to the Jieshi Acropolis. In the twenty-seventh year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, placed Jieshi and one guard and nine institutes to consolidate the coastal defense of eastern Guangdong. To the Jiajing War, the people of Shiqiaochang outside the west gate of the Acropolis were repeatedly burned and plundered by the Japanese invaders, so the earth city was built. From this, the Acropolis garrison, the inhabitants of Tucheng.

According to Ming Jiajing's "Huizhou Mansion Chronicles": Wei "the city is two zhang high and one zhang wide and eight feet wide, surrounded by 1,150 zhang, 2,262 pheasants, one zhang deep in the pond, one zhang and two feet wide, four enemy towers, and there is a door under it." The circumference of the acropolis wall is more than 3,600 meters, which is much larger than the county seat of Huilai.

This is only the Acropolis, the stone bridge field earth city was added to the back, "the east is connected to the wall of the Acropolis, and the other walls are two miles long." In this way, the earth city alone is not inferior to the area of the acropolis. Moreover, the two cities are one, and the size is more than three times that of Huilai County, which is like a big city.

This is Su Li's old nest, according to the old system when the Ming Dynasty was guarded, a stone guard, there are 10,000 soldiers and horses stationed here. For more than 200 years in the national calendar, the guards fled, but whether it was Su Cheng or him, there were a large number of guards under his command who originally belonged to Zhang Mingzhen, the commander of the Jieshi Guard. It's just that these guards have been thieves for many years now, and they have long forgotten their important responsibility of protecting the people in their jurisdiction.

When the army arrived, it was learned from the people who were living outside the city that Sully had expelled all the non-local residents in order to prevent spies. Chen Kai led a large army to arrive, and according to the intelligence, Su Li should still have more than 2,000 henchmen left, some of which are in Haifeng County, which means that there may be less than 2,000 Qing troops here.

But since it has been killed to the lair, it is also the most appropriate to mobilize the whole city to defend it. Chen Kai didn't have the slightest intention of underestimating Su Li, but he didn't intend to look down on him either. If it weren't for the shift of the strategic focus of the Ming army, he would have been swallowed and digested by Zheng Chenggong a long time ago, and he would not have been allowed to be arrogant until now.

The things that Chen Kai specially asked Chen Bao to transport have been unloaded, but this thing is too heavy, and it takes too long to load and unload each time. Coupled with the handling, let alone the field battle, even if it was transported from Jinghai to Huilai County, Chen Kai felt that he couldn't wait at all. However, this Jieshi Wei is the coastal guard station, the acropolis is very close to the coastline, and the Wanghailou in the city can even clearly observe the coastal situation, land on the seaside, and complete the loading and unloading and handling under the heavy protection of the Ming army, and it is not an intolerable thing to waste some time.

Above the east gate of the Acropolis, the forehead that was broken during the breakthrough earlier was far from being as good as the one, and now it was bandaged, waiting for the wound to heal, but the embarrassment was still seen in the eyes of everyone.

In the distance, the Ming army was slowly carrying two big guys, Su Li could see clearly, it was clearly two huge copper cannons, look at that block, the cannon would never be less than ten catties, and even seventeen or eighteen catties were not impossible.

He couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and Su Li felt his breathing heavy. When he fled back from Huilai, he lost almost all of his mobile forces, and the main infantry was completely annihilated. But even so, he did not give up, transferred back the garrisons of Shenquan, Beishan and Jiazimen Qianhusuo, and mobilized some garrisons from Jiesheng and Haifeng County, plus the defenders of the old nest and the team that was temporarily pulled up, it was another army of thousands of people.

Defending is the only way. As long as you wait for Huang Yingjie's reinforcements, you can achieve a turnaround, and at worst, you can save this nest for the future. But seeing the figures of the two giant cannons, Su Li couldn't speak anymore, but just watched in amazement as the Ming army was slowly preparing two or three miles away. Whether it's adjusting gun emplacements or reloading......

Front-loading smoothbore guns, their firing accuracy itself has no small problems, not to mention such a long distance. Su Li had a hint of luck, and it was lucky that the Ming army was bluffing. But with the end of the reload, the first test firing, the two huge cannons taught him a solid lesson.

The guns of the two giant cannons, a few delicate tools, were fiddled with by the gun commander in a similar way, and the numbers from time to time were recorded on the whiteboard. After careful calculations, one order after another was given, and the gunners worked hard to adjust the angle and direction of the guns according to the orders, until the commander was satisfied. Next, the gunner ripped open the thread, and the gunpowder in the cloth bag was even heavier and went straight in. Next, the heavy cannonball was carefully put in. When the reload was complete and the final adjustments were made, the torch was pressed against the fuse of the fire door as the flag waved in the distance, and a deafening roar followed.

If there is only this rolling thunder, but there is no substance on the side, it is just a bluff as Su Li was lucky. But at the same time as the roar, the black cannonball whistled, and drew a trail in the sky with a trail of tail shadows and smashed heavily into the fields outside the city, and immediately splashed a piece of stucco, and even Sully in the city seemed to smell the smell of the earth.

On the ground, there seems to have been a slight tremor. This was only the first cannon, and in a blink of an eye, the second gun was loaded, and as soon as the fuse was lit, the cannonball shot out, and it hit the angle between the city wall and the ground.

There was a huge tremor, as if the entire city wall was shaking. With such power, Su Li was naturally not so ignorant as to regard it as a god and ghost power, but the Ming army's artillery was not only powerful, but also extremely accurate in shooting, which made him feel an uncontrollable fear when he landed.

The depression of the city wall, Rao is an outlaw like him no longer dares to look at it. In the name of organizing the defense of the city, Su Li went down to the city, and it was calm on the surface, but the waves inside seemed to explode him. Finding a secluded place, Su Li could no longer support it, and sat down on the ground in a daze, but there was still a roar in the distance in his ears, and he couldn't tell whether it was the two cannons just now, or the next shelling. But there is one thing that can still be clearly distinguished, that is, to flee or to guard, this question is constantly torn in his heart, almost tearing him in half.

The frequency of artillery fire of the Ming army was very slow, but with the fire of the second gun, it was only two guns, and one of them directly smashed the city gate. The wooden gate was torn apart like paper, which was already in the imagination of the Qing army, but then another cannon hit the city wall directly, blasting the top of the city wall into a splash of bricks and earth, and it seems that the city wall may not be much stronger than paper.

"Handsome, handsome......"

The cronies quickly found Su Li, and looking at the hideous face, the fear of the generals fleeing was so frightened that they were weak. Su Li was shaken back to consciousness, but the general's sentence of "run away" was immediately denied by Su Li.

He was originally an outlaw, and over the years, he was either insidious and cunning, or endured humiliation, or extremely vicious, just to sit on the soil emperor of this land. Now that he has retreated to his lair, there may still be Haifeng County and Shengjie behind him, but losing the Jieshi Acropolis is absolutely unacceptable to him.

"Fight, even if it is death, Lao Tzu will die here!"

Pulling out his waist knife, Su Li stabbed to death the general who "shook the heart of the army", and then ran towards the position of the city wall with his own soldiers and family members.

However, before he approached the city wall, accompanied by the roar of one after the other, as far as the eye could see, a city wall collapsed, and the flying bricks and stones and clods of soil knocked several of his own soldiers on their backs.

The smoke obscured the vision, but the ears were full of screams and the muffled sound of stones falling on the ground or other stones and rammed earth. When he could vaguely look at something, it was a fiery red that had poured into the gap in the city wall, shouting and killing, and the Ming army that came out quickly approached his eyes.

"A certain is ......"

"Kill!"

The spear pierced the lower abdomen, and the self-introduction stopped. The disgraced Sully was not dead for a while, and wanted to slash with a knife, but soon fell forever in the city of the Jieshi Acropolis under the direct stabbing and slashing of more spears and waist knives.
