Although there were many casualties, after all, the Manchu cavalry was still quite strong, throwing the wounded soldiers on the cart behind and continuing to advance.

The next road can be regarded as a difficult and troublesome road that Bolo has never walked since he grew up.

Along the way, they were either shot at or mortar fire. No matter how bad the road is, a series of minefields appear on the road. You can't go, and you can't go if you don't.

Fortunately, Bolo led the army to fight for many years, and he was indeed well-informed, and immediately organized dozens of horses and asked people to rush to open the way in front.

A series of mine explosions, traps, deep pits, and the neighing of the horses crashed into a large area of death, using their lives to pave the way for the Qing army.

Although he lost a large number of horses, the army led by Bolo advanced again, but at this time he did not know that the "Suzhou Defense Line" he used to quickly cross the river had been dismantled, and as for how to cross the river, I am afraid that only heaven can know.

As you know, the "Suzhou Defense Line" is a canal waterway connecting Taihu Lake and Yangcheng Lake in the northeast of Suzhou in the north of Suzhou. The defense line was facing north and south, which happened to block the passage from the river to Taihu Lake, which was the goal that the Shenzhou Army Marines had to capture.

Bolo lost a lot of men and horses in the battle with the Shengwu army under the city of Suzhou, and at the same time had to send troops to defend the major cities, so the troops were extremely weak, and even many county towns were to be defended by the original Ming army. Therefore, when the Shenzhou army comes this time, the entire county will flee.

Therefore, the troops he used to defend the Suzhou defense line were pitiful, and as a leading general, he certainly knew the importance of this defense line, because this defense line was an important bridgehead connecting Wuxi and Suzhou, and it was also an important means to block the canal.

But the troops were really scarce, so he had to squeeze out 5,000 Qing soldiers and bring more than 10,000 soldiers from the Ming army to garrison here.

Yangcheng Lake, at the eastern tip of the defensive line, was only a few dozen kilometers away from the Yangtze River, and it was nothing for warships like the Fury Tide-class frigates and Gale Wind-class, because the battle here started almost at the same time as Wuxi City.

As early as the time of the Wenzhou execution, the troops carrying out this task had obtained a complete set of drawings for this defense line and conducted a simulated exercise for the attack here, so the attack was completely prepared, and the method of attack was simple and easy to use.

To put it bluntly, nothing is as good as smoke to deal with this underground thing, and the Marines who attacked here carried a fair amount of smoke canisters.

Clever book lovers have probably guessed what they do, and the order of attack is from the back to the front. Fortunately, Wu Shengtai blasted the last largest stronghold at that time, otherwise it would have been a bit of trouble.

As for what was in this kind of smoke canister, Yue Xiaofei couldn't tell anything other than gunpowder from time to time, he just knew that it was developed by the "Armament Workshop", and its own function was to be used as a smoke generating device for the defense of chariots.

Who knew that after an experiment, it was found that although this thing produced a lot of smoke, it could achieve the role of cover. But the smoke emitted an extremely pungent smell, and according to those who accidentally smelled it, they would rather die immediately than be protected by the smoke again.

During the attack, a considerable number of smoke grenades were thrown at the exit of the stronghold to disperse the enemy troops at the main exit, but some people carried several half-man-high smoke canisters and threw them over, and then someone nailed a curtain made of thick cloth to the door frame, sealing the door tightly.

With the sound of explosions coming from the rear of the defensive line, the voices of alarm from the various forts in the front rushed out of the forts to check, and the marines who had occupied the surface of the forts in the rear of them quickly drove them back underground under the suppression of mortars and rifles.

Then take up the surface position, and use sacks of dirt to plug all the holes that smoke outward. As layers of defense were occupied, more smoke canisters were put down.

The pungent smoke emitted from the ground drove the Qing soldiers towards the riverside of the defensive line, because there was no smoke coming from that direction alone.

However, the narrow passage restricts people's running, and the soldiers in the panic have completely disregarded their duties, and the Qing soldiers are slightly better, after all, they are still equipped with masks, and those Ming soldiers are even more miserable.

The oil lamps used as "street lamps" on the road in the passage were shaken by the wind brought by the people as they ran by, and some of the people who were running forward in a chaotic way would stand and trample on them when they fell.

More people were chased by the smoke, the pungent smell made them almost unable to breathe, and the smoke made them disorient almost instantly, and the only thing they could do was to fall to their knees and take off their clothes and cover their mouths and noses firmly.

When the Qing soldiers who were driven away by the smoke ran out of the entrance of the fort in the front row, a large group of soldiers of the "Shenzhou Army" greeted them with guns outside.

The soldiers of the Qing army with their bare hands opened their eyes that had been smoked red, and obediently squatted on the ground with their hands in their hands according to what they wanted to save, and they could only describe it as fear in their hearts at this time, because such an attack method was not at all something that normal people could think of.

Subsequently, under the supervision of a small number of Shenzhou soldiers, they began to dismantle the civil forts, which had been destroyed by the time the Qing army captured Suzhou, and there were not many left.

So when Bolo came out of Suzhou City, with the desperate efforts of more than 10,000 people, it had been almost demolished, and at least it could no longer be used as a fortress for warfare.

One after another, those who were so smoked that they were about to faint groped out of the dark passages in the smoke that slowly calmed down, according to the bursts of fresh air coming from the exits of those passages. When these soldiers who were not captured by the Shenzhou Army because they were "lucky", they were surprised to see that the plaintiff's bulge fortress on the surface had now collapsed into one pit after another.

It is clear that this is no longer an effective hub of resistance, at least with little hope of blocking the canal. On the course of the canal, there have been destroyers and frigates, and from the Taihu Lake, there seem to be countless small boats sailing to the east end of the "Suzhou Defense Line".

There they were to quickly build a pontoon bridge, after all, the Qing army from Suzhou was about to arrive. In the small boats prepared in advance, a sharpened wooden stake was quickly nailed into the river by the boaters, and the ropes tied to it of the same length made the almost identical boats neatly lined up along the river, and then between the two boats were nailed a large wooden plank with the nails in advance, and soon a pontoon bridge was built to the opposite bank.

The two destroyers did not stay here for long, and after the pontoon bridge was fully built, they carried some of the marines up the canal to attack the city of Wuxi.
