Wanyan Yechen stood up from the mat, and in the slender eyes, the two blood-red eyes that were stimulated by alcohol were full of shocked and unbelievable expressions. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

No way?!

For seven years, no half of the Ming army dared to come to Jinzhou, why did the Ming army fleet come to attack today, these Ming troops who didn't know whether they were alive or dead, did they eat the gall of a leopard? !

"Have you looked carefully, it is indeed the banner of the Ming Army?!" Wanyan Yechen shouted angrily.

"Lord Yugushan, the slave can see clearly. These Ming ships are all hung high with the sun and moon double dragon flags of the Ming army. Xiao Bing said loudly, he suddenly seemed to remember something, and hurriedly added: "By the way, there is a huge Tang character floating high on every boat of the Ming army." ”

The word "Tang"?!

Could it be that this Ming army that came here is the Tang army of Li Xiao in Shandong? !

After Yan Yechen's eyes widened instantly, the Manchurian generals next to him also showed a look of panic.

Almost instantly, they all thought of the tragic scene of that demonic Li Xiao, when he was in the town border city that day, he had the Zhenghuang Banner Gushan Ezhen Tan Tai, and cut out the liver and ate the corpse.

The barbarian people despise justice and morality, but they will definitely fear the strong, so this powerful, cruel and bloodthirsty and perverted Li Xiao has already made these Manchurian generals who were once invincible deeply feared and jealous.

Hearing that it was Li Xiao's Tang army attacking, there was an oppressive silence in the entire official hall.

This dog-in-the-sky Li Xiao has a fucking poisonous vision!

Knowing that now that the main force of the Qing army has entered the customs, the emperor has personally commanded the remaining soldiers and horses to intimidate Liaoxi, so this guy took advantage of the situation to enter and sneak attack Jinzhou, which is really shameless and extremely ruthless!

What to do?

Fight, or flight?

However, when the thought of escaping subconsciously arose in Wanyan Yechen's heart, he instantly felt extremely ashamed of himself.

If you see the Ming army attacking, you will flee from the wind, such an act is simply a loss of face in the Qing Dynasty and the majesty of the Eight Banners!

At that time, even if he could protect all the troops of Jinzhou, but the entire Jinzhou was captured by the Ming army without losing a single soldier and without firing a single shot, then Huang Taiji would be so furious when he learned about it. I'm afraid that my head will fall at the entrance of the vegetable market in Shenyang.

Besides, even if he can be lucky to save his life, then he will only be laughed at by thousands of people in the Qing Kingdom, and he will be poked back by thousands of people, what face do he still have to continue to gain a foothold in the Qing Kingdom!

Wanyan Yechen sighed lightly, and then quickly calculated his existing strength in his heart.

He quickly judged that the number of troops defending the entire city in Arthur City was definitely not to the point of being unable to fight. Because, now in the city, there are still 2,000 Manchurian soldiers and horses, and there are also 2,000 soldiers of the Han army Xu Erxian, if you add the soldiers and horses who go to the city to return to help, the strength of the city defense should reach more than 5,000 people. With such a force to hold on to the city, even if Li Xiao is iron, no matter how strong the Tang army is, at this time, it is helpless.

Moreover, no matter how strong the Tang army is, as long as it can resist smoothly for a few days, and wait for Shengjing or Jinzhou to send reinforcements from nearby prefectures and counties, then the Tang army will be tired of the old soldiers under the strong city for a long time, and then, even if it is not wiped out by the Qing army's internal and external attacks, it will only have no choice but to retreat.

Wanyan Yechen thought of this, finally stabilized his mind, and then ordered in a deep voice: "Pass on the general's order, quickly send people to Shengjing, Fuzhou and other places to ask for help, and at the same time order all the Manchu and Han soldiers outside the city to retreat to Lushun City as soon as possible to garrison, and the whole army will rely on Lushun City, and fight to the death until reinforcements arrive!" ”

"Whew, minion obeys!"

Soon, Li Xiao's huge fleet, chopping through the waves, rode the mighty south wind, galloped with full sails, and rushed all the way to Lushunkou.

At this time, the Qing troops in the observation forts on the seashore had already fled back to Lushun, leaving only empty forts.

The deputy leader of Li Xiaojun's sailors, Joseph of the Dutchman, saw that the Qing army had fled, and he did not dare to fight on the shore at all, and he couldn't help but show a look of disappointment on his face.

However, he still ordered that the ships that docked first should be fired by rows of cannons, and those empty bunkers were smashed to pieces, which was regarded as a fire reconnaissance and a bad breath in his heart.

Subsequently, Li Xiao gave an order, and all the ships docked one after another, and then lowered the gangway, and the Tang army, with a total number of more than 20,000 people, came down from the ship like a flood that opened the gates.

Shieldmen, spearmen, heavy riders, harriers, sentry men, musketeers, and finally heavy dragon artillery units rolled down from the boats.

After all the soldiers landed, the flying harriers who were exploring the way also sent back the news of the sentry.

"Tang Guogong, the Qing army has withdrawn a large number of field troops, and all of them have gathered in Lushun City. Now the soldiers and horses of the Qing army in the city have been prepared for defense at the four walls of Lushun. ”

After listening to the report of the flying harrier sentry, a contemptuous smile appeared on Li Xiao's face.

"These people who have gathered in the city and put on this posture of waiting to be killed, then Bengong will fulfill them! Let these Tartars have a good taste of our army's 70 heavy dragon cannons, they will definitely make them want to die! ”

He turned his head and smiled at Liu Guoneng, the deputy general of Xingzhong Town, on the side, and ordered: "Guoneng, this Lushun City has three gates in the east, west, and north. Take the rest of your troops, and keep the west and north gates firmly in place, and give them an urn to catch turtles, but not a single Tartar will be taken. “

Liu Guoneng, who had a euphoric look on his face, smiled and said loudly: "Please rest assured that Tang Guogong will guarantee to arrest all these living kings and eight kings for you." In this city of Lushun, even if it is a mosquito, it will not let it run away. “

After Li Xiao's assignment was completed, Liu Guoneng immediately sent people to send orders from all directions, such as spearmen, shield soldiers, Xuanhu heavy cavalry, flying harriers and other troops, all acted according to the order, and soon, the entire Lushun City was surrounded like an iron bucket.

Standing at the head of the city, dressed in fine iron armor and wearing a high-needle red-tasseled helmet, Wanyan Yechen frowned and looked at the Tang army roaring back and forth like a rolling torrent. After seeing the Tang army quickly block the gates of Lushun, he suddenly felt a sinking in his heart.

Okay, these Tang troops are greedy enough, they are so arranged in such a formation, they actually have a situation of wanting to swallow this Lushun City in one bite.

Compared with Wanyan Yechen, who pretended to be calm, Xu Erxian, the main general of the Han army in the city, was already unable to hide his horror.

The obese Xu Erxian, with a pair of eyelids swollen from excessive indulgence, kept blinking up and down, and he whispered to Wanyan Yechen in a trembling voice: "Lord Gushan, this Tang army is so fierce, and the number of soldiers is also several times that of our army, can this Jinzhou City really be defended?" ”

Wanyan Yechen looked the anxious Xu Erxian up and down with an extremely disdainful look, and then shouted softly: "You are also the deputy general soldier who commands thousands of soldiers and horses, how can you be so cowardly, you are actually intimidated by this bluff of the Tang Army!" Although the Tang army has many soldiers and horses, but its side is not stable, the siege equipment and so on have not been built, our army does not fight with it head-on, but only relies on the city to hold on, what can he do to me? The general has already sent people to ask for reinforcements, and after these few days, when the reinforcements arrive, our army will attack with its internal and external sandwiches, how difficult is it for the Tang army to break. ”

The corners of Xu Erxian's mouth were sneering, and he still wanted to speak, but Yan Yechen interrupted coldly: "General Xu, you and that Li Xiao are both Han Chinese, why are you so cowardly and useless compared to them!" Besides, the three city gates of Lushun, the general will only arrange for you to lead the troops of the headquarters to guard the west gate, and the east gate and the north gate are all defended by my Manchurian soldiers and horses, what else do you have to worry about? Er Xiu said a lot, and it was important to arrange the defense of the West Gate as soon as possible. ”

After being beaten in public like this, Xu Er showed a dull face, his face was hot, and he was very ashamed in his heart, so he made a low promise, and walked towards the west gate in a gloomy manner.

To be honest, Wanyan Yechen ridiculed Xu Erxian like this, and he was also cheering himself up.

Now he pinned all his hopes on the fact that these Tang troops were in a hurry and did not have enough siege equipment, so they could not launch an attack immediately. Obviously, in Wanyan Yechen's view, the longer the time drags on, the more beneficial it will only be to himself.

It's just that when Wanyan Yechen, who was standing in the East Gate Tower, looked at the 70 huge silver-gray stainless steel cannons that were slowly pushed in the distance, his face suddenly turned pale.

He saw that these Tang Army artillery pieces were so huge in size and caliber, but they were much larger than the largest Hongyi cannon he had ever seen before. He immediately thought in fear in his heart that these Tang Army artillery were so majestic and huge, and their true power was probably much stronger than the previous Hongyi artillery.

If so, wasn't it wrong from the beginning to defend the city?

An unprecedented panic surged uncontrollably through his heart.

Wanyan Yechen, who was looking at the tower at the city gate, was thinking nonsense, when Li Xiaojun's seventy heavy dragon guns lined up in a straight row had slowly pushed to a distance of about 1,000 meters from the eastern city wall.

At this distance, the Tang army, which was marching neatly like a machine, finally stopped advancing.

Wanyan Yechen saw that the Tang army had concentrated all of the 70 heavy steel cannons with huge muzzles on the left side of the eastern city wall. Then, he saw that these Tang gunners began to be extremely skillful, loading gunpowder on the spot, using gun gauges to calculate the spacing, and adjusting the angle of fire.

What kind of fame are these doggy Tang Army gunners?

As a veteran of the battlefield, Wanyan Yechen knew that in this late Ming Dynasty, even the most powerful new Hongyi cannon had an accurate firing range of about 600 meters, and now, these Tang troops began to load gunpowder, stuff iron bullets, and adjust the angle of fire at 1000 meters. Or is it because these Don troops are only attacking intimidatingly that they indiscriminately shoot at artillery range?

"Lord Gushan, can you take advantage of the Tang Army's adjustment of artillery, send cavalry out of the city, and kill these hateful gunners on the spot first?" A Manchurian officer next to him asked Wanyan Yechen a question urgently.

Wanyan Yechen lowered his head and groaned for a while, and also rejected the general's suggestion.

"Our army has set up a posture of holding on to the city, and it can be moved lightly. Besides, if these cavalry go out of the city, if they are ambushed by the Tang army, our army will not have to lose anything. It is still important to rely on the city to hold on and frustrate the enemy's spirit. ”

After listening to Yan Yechen's negative words, the Manchurian general snorted and retreated sullenly.

And just when Wanyan Yechen vetoed the proposal of the cavalry to attack out of the city, and was feeling uneasy, the Tang army had completed preparations for the shelling.

"Ready!"

"Put!"

With a shout from a person who looked like an officer, 70 steel dragon bombers with huge calibers immediately fired in unison.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

。。。。。。

In the huge cannon sound that shattered the eardrums, the muzzle of each heavy dragon cannon immediately floated a crimson afterburner, flashing a dazzling golden fire, and in the dense billowing white smoke, seventy huge black iron bullets weighing 32 pounds, with the whistle of death, slammed into the eastern city wall on the left side of Arthur City.

In the dull and continuous sound of huge impact, these seventy jet-black 32-pound iron bullets, as if they had eyes, hit the city wall on the left side of the east side in an evenly distributed state.

Seventy big holes appeared on the left side of the east side of the entire Lushun City in an instant, and at the edge of each big hole, the thick cracked lines were as dense as spider webs, and they spread unscrupulously to the siege, and the bricks of the large city wall were splashed and cracked, and a piece of dust and mist filled the city, and the entire east city wall was trembling violently as if it had asthma.

On the city wall, a large number of Qing soldiers who were shocked to the ears, eyes, nostrils and mouths bleeding together, everyone was shocked to the blood surged, and the eyes were shrouded in the dust and fog that choked their noses, and the city wall under their feet shook violently like a pendulum, and nearly 100 Qing soldiers who stood unsteadily on their feet fell from the city wall screaming like broken leaves blown by the wind, and then fell into meat pies.

The Tang army's fierce heavy artillery salvo this time actually caused the left city wall on the east side of Arthur City to fall into chaos in an instant. A large number of Qing soldiers who were shocked and bleeding from their mouths and noses screamed in horror, turned around and fled from the road of the city wall.

"Don't run! Come back to Lao Tzu and continue to defend the city wall! Those who violate military orders will be killed! ”

Impacted by the surging sand and dust waves, the dusty and dusty Ye Chen, as if he had just come out of the desert, looked extremely embarrassed. He coughed violently, stood up against the battlements of the city wall, and roared at the fleeing Qing troops.

It's just that in this chaos, although he shouted hoarsely, it had little effect, and a Qing soldier who had been deaf in both ears was shocked and ran past Wanyan Yechen with a wail, completely ignoring the warning of the supreme commander of the Qing army.

Seeing this, Wanyan Yechen was unconsciously angry and angry, he brushed the ground and drew a sharp sword, stabbed it fiercely, and stabbed the fleeing guy from the back to the chest, stabbing a big hole, this fleeing Qing soldier, his body shook a little, and he fell to the ground and died.

Finally, after Wanyan Yechen and his guards slashed and killed seven or eight people one after another, these beaten Qing troops re-stabilized, and the situation on the left wall in the east was slightly stabilized.

At this time, the gunners of the Tang Army, who had just finished the first round of salvo fire, were already clearing, charging, and reloading ammunition in preparation for the next round of shooting.

The commander of the Ming army's artillery, the red flag in his hand, was held high again.

"Ready!"

"Put!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

。。。。。。

Seventy more jet-black 32-pound iron bullets roared in, and in the deafening sound of cannons, the broken bricks on the city wall flew like rain, and the choking dust and mist flew up all over the sky.

The entire eastern left side of the city wall was covered with dense cobweb cracks, and the damage to the entire wall reached a shocking level, like a dying patient.

All the defending Qing troops, including Wanyan Yechen, felt that the city wall under their feet was shaking back and forth more violently, and as many as hundreds of Qing soldiers who had no time to lie down or hold steady fell from the city wall with a scream.

A large number of collapsed pheasant moats were also shaken down from under the city wall, falling apart, these quakes were smashed down from such a high position, and immediately scattered into fragments, burying those Qing troops who were shaken down, whether dead or alive.

The remaining Qing defenders on the left side of the east suddenly collapsed completely.

Under such a violent force, in the face of such an absolute death that no manpower could resist at all, all the Qing troops on the left side of the eastern city wall had been fighting for a long time, and they all had no courage to continue fighting.

They didn't need anyone to mobilize anymore, and I don't know who shouted, and these guys, who had been frightened, immediately abandoned their posts, howled and rushed down the city wall and road, and fled for their lives.
