Because the time was already very urgent and the scene was very chaotic, Li Dingguo did not have time to use the method of ideological work on the auxiliary troops to slowly select them, as he had done last time, but directly decided on the personnel of the operation by name.

In the end, Li Laiwang, the captain of the auxiliary army, and the other 9 auxiliary soldiers came to Li Dingguo in silence. Li Dingguo glanced at everyone with a heavy face, and saw this simple and dignified face accompanied by each other day and night, Li Dingguo's heart was very entangled and painful.

However, he quickly stabilized his mind and did not reveal any expression in his heart, but ordered sharply: "Captain Li Laiwang listens to the order!" ”

"The subordinates are here!"

"Li Laiwang, you will take you with 9 auxiliary soldiers, each with 10 hand-thrown mines, through the secret road, to the west of the city wall, and then dig the rammed earth layer, fill in the hand-thrown mines, and then concentrate on detonating, we must completely blow up this western city wall to Lao Tzu, and kill Lao Tzu on the spot to the Qing chief Taiji!" Li Laiwang replied loudly: "Mayor Li, don't worry, I promise to complete the task!"

Li Dingguo patted him on the shoulder vigorously, and said in a deep voice: "Laiwang, the mission you want to carry out is very important and important, it is related to the safety and life of the entire inner city of Vladivostok. You know, whether this inner city can be defended in the end, and whether these brothers who defend the city can survive in the end, is up to you. A flash of determination flashed in Li Laiwang's eyes, and he replied loudly: "Mayor Li, don't worry, I'm also a veteran and knows what to do." We will do our best to complete this mission successfully! As soon as he finished speaking, he hugged his fist to Li Dingguo again, and then immediately turned around, beckoned the other 9 auxiliaries, and left in a hurry.

Li Dingguo was behind him, silently watching them leave, his expression was very solemn. Li Laiwang took these nine auxiliaries all the way to the secret room, and then each of them brought 10 hand-thrown mines, each of them brought a digging tool, or a shovel or a head, and a large bundle of fire rope and ignition objects, and then lit torches, and drilled down to the abandoned well.

A group of people came to this waste well, there was a secret door, Li Laiwang led everyone, pushed the door in, and there was a deep secret passage in front of him.

Under the leadership of Li Laiwang, the group held torches and went deep along the stairs, and along the way, Li Laiwang seized the time and emphasized loudly to the nine auxiliary soldiers, waiting for the main points of the action.

"Brothers, listen up, our destination is a horse-faced junction of the west city wall, this position, the inside is hollowed out, the front and back are separated by wooden planks to separate the rammed earth layer, what we have to do is to unload the plank, dig down the rammed earth, dig out a huge hollow position, and then gather all the hand-thrown mines together, collectively light the fuse, detonate, be sure to blow up the city wall to Lao Tzu.

When Li Laiwang said this, his face was full of cruelty, and he added: "Brother, if this bombing can blow up the city wall and kill the Tartar Emperor, then our task will be successfully completed." As soon as he finished speaking, a young auxiliary soldier next to him whispered to him in a hesitant tone, "Captain Li, can we successfully retreat to the city after we carry out this order?" This sentence made Li Laiwang's heart tremble, and he looked at the young auxiliary soldier with an extremely complicated look, but an inexplicable sour feeling surged in his heart.

This young auxiliary soldier, who is only 19 years old this year, is named Zhang Ercheng, a native of Niuxinzhai in Yingshan County, the capital of Suizhou, Huguang, since Zhang Xianzhong's troops entered Kou Huguang, Yingshan County has been attacked and harassed by thieves many times, and Zuo Liangyu, the general soldier of Huguang, shamelessly killed and killed the villagers, and the local people could not survive at all, so they could only flee in all directions and become homeless refugees.

Zhang Ercheng's family is naturally also a member of this huge team of displaced people. Later, thanks to the Tang Army, the soldiers and horses of the Western Battalion were stationed in Suizhou, and a large number of displaced people were collected in the local area, leaving Huguang, Zhang Ercheng's family was finally able to settle down in Sulu Province in the Philippines.

Subsequently, Zhang Ercheng followed all the soldiers and horses of the A Battalion of Pingnan Town, and went north together to the wild Vladivostok in the extreme north and stationed in Fort Xiu, and just over a month ago, he had just celebrated his nineteenth birthday.

Of course, Li Laiwang knew what Zhang Ercheng was thinking, he sighed softly, and then replied in a low voice: "Ercheng, don't worry, as the captain, I will try my best to ensure your safety." Hearing Li Laiwang's words, the young auxiliary's face suddenly swelled with shame, he lowered his head, didn't speak again, just followed the whole team, all the way to the end of the secret passage.

After about a quarter of an hour of marching through the dark passage, they came to the end of the passage, and they came up the stairs to a hollow in the wall of the horses.

"It's here, it's finally here, you listen to my orders, the Tartar chief emperor is more than ten steps away from my left, you remove the wooden plank on the left, and then dig out the rammed earth all the way, and when you are ten steps away from the Tartar chieftain, you will dig out the hole, put a hundred hand-thrown mines into it, and then you all withdraw, and I will light the fuse, do you understand?

In the darkness, Li Laiwang ordered with blazing eyes. Everyone agreed in unison, and then immediately began to plan, as Li Laiwang said, and began to dig. They smashed open the planks of the liners, and then kept waving shovels or heads, and began to dig through the rammed earth that was frozen inside. The shovel flew over, falling like rain, and the rammed earth was rumbling down, in this dim and breath-holding environment, Li Laiwang and others gritted their teeth and dug at the fastest speed, in this cold weather, each of them was drenched in hot sweat. At this time, Huang Taiji, who was sitting on the west city wall, was watching the Qing army continue to surround the inner city with a happy face, and he did not expect that not far from his feet, there would be Tang army auxiliaries, where they would dig the inner layer of rammed earth, and then they would fill in the explosives and blow themselves up to the west sky. At this time, he slowly put down the clairing mirror in his hand, and then said to the chief of the guard next to him, Tulai, with a happy face: "Tulai, you see, the momentum of our army is so strong, it has resisted the attack of two waves of crossbowmen of the Tang Army in a row, and it is like a rainbow and unstoppable. From my point of view, the Tang army has no strength in close combat, and it is really delusional to rely on this simple fortification to resist the all-out attack of these men who have fought for many years in our army! Seeing such joy on Huang Taiji's face, Turai replied with a flattering face: "With the presence of the Holy Heavenly Authority, the soldiers of our army, who dares to kill them." Now that the Tang army has exhausted its momentum, from the perspective of slaves, the Tang army is powerless to resist in this inner city of Vladivostok, and it will definitely be defeated by our army. Turai was extremely useful when he said this, and he said with emotion: "Yes, I also look at it. I thought that at the beginning, I was so self-conscious, and personally persuaded the Tang general Li Dingguo to surrender, but I didn't expect this person to be so stubborn and refused to surrender, and now there will be this tragedy of destroying the city, isn't it self-inflicted? Turai hurriedly replied: "The emperor is benevolent, so he gave these Han Nikans a way to live." If the minions had come to make arrangements, they would have been given a chance to live, and they would have all been killed a long time ago! It is a pity that these Nikans are so stupid and lowly that they don't know how to cherish this last chance to live, and they want to fight against our Qing Heavenly Soldiers, and if they are all slaughtered by our army today, it will be their own disaster. Huang Taiji listened to Turai's answer, but the joy on his face was a little lighter, he sighed, and replied lightly: "What a sigh! It's a pity that these Tang troops fought to this mortal situation, still not surrendering, still trying to do this trapped beast this fight, their fighting spirit and fighting spirit are really the strongest opponents that my Qing Dynasty has encountered! Although many of them are suspected of ignorance of current affairs, their loyalty and courage are amazing. Huang Taiji paused, and then said: "Turai, you must know that this is not a false boast of the opponent, but a real battle situation. Thinking that the Qing army attacked Jinzhou that day, the ancestor Dashou sat on such a steep city, the number of soldiers and horses, and the Tang army in the inner city was also comparable, and the people of the city could help, but its hesitation and cowardice, selfishness, seeing the 130,000 reinforcements of the Ming Dynasty outside, was shattered, and even the courage to fight was gone, so he immediately surrendered the city in order to survive. On that day, although I boasted that I knew how to advance and retreat, I also despised him in my heart. Turai followed up with a sentence: "The meaning of the servant to look at the emperor is that he is worried that this Tang army will be so big in the future that it can compete with my Qing Dynasty?"

Huang Taiji frowned, and sighed again: "What you said is not nonsense." I tell you that the Tang Army is not the only Vladivostok Fort, and the territory of the Tang Army is far greater than you can imagine. In addition to Vladivostok Fort, there are also Temple Street Fort, Yakutsk City, Sakhalin Island, Ezo Island, etc., and its territory can be described as very large. In addition, Li Xiao, the commander of the Tang Army, also possessed the whole province of Shandong, as well as the entire Nanyang region. The territory ruled by this man can be called an invisible empire! Perhaps, in the near future, as Li Xiao's power grows stronger and stronger, and the large amount of land he annexes is gradually digested, then the strength and power of this person, perhaps, I am afraid that it will be difficult to match in the Qing Dynasty.

As soon as Huang Taiji's words came out, Turai was speechless for a while, and he muttered for a while before he replied curtly: "Your Majesty, the slave is thinking, if Li Xiao is really so powerful in the future, then our army should seize the time, take advantage of its fledgling and unsuccessful power, completely defeat it, and not give him a chance to develop and grow, which is the most important thing."

Listening to Turai's words, Huang Taiji nodded and sighed;

"Yes, Turai is right in your opinion, and I see it that way. Well, now I don't need to say more, let's see how my battle-hardened and very brave Qing official army captured the inner city of Vladivostok Fort.

As soon as Huang Taiji finished saying this, those Qing troops had already rushed to a distance of only twenty paces from the gap. Seeing that the Qing army was already so close, Li Dingguo, the chief general and Zu Kuan, the deputy general guarding the gaps in the north and south, shouted in unison almost at the same time: "Ready, release!"

“

"Whoosh! ......"In the continuous sound of bangbang, the Tang army began the third round of salvo fire.

A continuous stream of crossbow arrows was fired from one after another divine crossbows, and on this gloomy afternoon, the highly poisonous crossbow arrows were like swarms of flying locusts released from the hands of death, and they buzzed and flew quickly, forming a dense web of death.

Immediately, as many as more than 10,000 poisonous crossbow arrows roared out and shot towards the Qing troops who were rushing towards them with hideous faces and roaring wildly.

"Puff puff puff ......" With the faint muffled sound of crossbow arrows shooting into the human body, a scream that does not seem to be like a human voice rises continuously, making people feel palpitations.

Because the distance is so close, the rate of fire of the crossbow arrows is extremely fast, there are quite a lot of Qing troops who have no time to react, they have screamed, and were shot at close range by the crossbow arrows of the Tang army, so the Qing army that was killed this time was much more than the last two times, and there were nearly 1,300 Qing soldiers who were shot alive by the Tang army this time, and the last time the crossbow arrows were released.

All the Qing soldiers who were shot by the crossbow arrows coated with the blood-sealed throat toxin were certain to die, and their blackened and twisted corpses spread all over the open space outside the gap.

Rao was so, those almost crazy Qing troops, as if they had no feeling for the casualties of their own soldiers, they howled, waved the swords in their hands, and rushed straight towards the gap.

Seeing that the Qing army was about to rush and the Tang army's crossbow arrows were released, there was no time to reload at this point, Li Dingguo and Zu Kuan ordered almost at the same time: "All crossbowmen pay attention, immediately put down the crossbow, and take the waist knife to meet the enemy!"

“

"Order!" At this time, they separately ordered loudly: "The auxiliary troops in the back are ready, listen to my orders, and throw thunder at the Qing army that rushed up, and kill and injure the Qing army as much as possible!"

“

"Order!" When all the crossbowmen began to put their crossbows and bows on their backs, and took out their waist knives one after another, preparing to meet the enemy in close combat, the auxiliaries behind were already wearing burning ropes, and used the burning ropes to light the fuse of the hand-thrown thunder, and were ready to throw.

In fact, at such a close distance, although there were improvised and simple fortifications as a counterpoint, because they were on the same plane as the Qing army, the fragments produced by the explosion of this hand-thrown thunder were still very likely to injure their own soldiers.

It's just that now that the war situation is so dangerous and urgent, Li Dingguo and Zu Kuan can't take care of so much.

At such a critical moment, if he could exchange all the lives of the Tang army for the safety of the inner city of Vladivostok, Li Dingguo would not hesitate to sacrifice them all.
