In the first year of Chongxing, on the third day of the tenth lunar month, the soldiers and horses of the sixth and seventh towns, which were fully manned, marched from Tielong City in Shanxian County and Anton Weigang respectively to Xuzhou Mansion and Huai'an Mansion from the land and sea roads.

The army is dispatched, invincible, and no one can stop it.

It is said that the sixth town under the command of the mayor Liu Guoneng and the deputy mayor of the town, with more than 30,000 soldiers, has entered the boundary of Nanzhili since the Iron Dragon City entered the territory of Nanzhili and rushed straight to Feng County.

There were less than 2,000 defenders in Fengxian County, and when they saw the Tang army coming overwhelmingly, they were already frightened, and immediately abandoned the city after plundering the city, and went straight to Peixian. At the same time, the guard immediately dispatched a sentry cavalry and rushed to Xuzhou City to report for help.

At this point, the Tang army captured Fengxian without blood, and the whole army took a short rest, and immediately continued to march towards Peixian according to the original plan.

There are nearly 3,000 defenders in Pei County, and with these 2,000 soldiers and horses in Feng County, the defenders have more than 5,000 people, and their momentum is slightly stronger. While urgently reinforcing the city's defenses, they also urgently requested reinforcements from Xuzhou City.

It's just that the Pei County guard sent a sentry to Xuzhou to ask for help, and the soldiers and horses of the sixth town of the Tang Army have already arrived at a gallop, quickly surrounding this hometown county of Han Gaozu.

At this point, the county seat of Pei County quickly fell into a situation of isolation and helplessness.

To the great anger of the defenders in the city, the Tang army did not even bother to do the work of persuading surrender, so they immediately began to attack the city.

90 steel heavy dragon bombardment guns with a silver gray light were slowly pushed by the Tang gunners to a kilometer outside the west gate of Pei County. Next, the Don gunners began to fix the gun mounts, adjust the angle of fire, reload gunpowder and shells, and soon made preparations for battle.

These 90 heavy dragon guns are lined up along the county seat of Peixian County, these majestic dragon guns, the black hole of the cannon mouth, straight to the low city wall opposite, its dignified momentum, so that the enemy troops defending the city are frightened to their legs and feet.

Good guys, these cannons look so scary, you can imagine how powerful and broken they will be once they are fired.

All the panicked defenders saw from a distance that a person who looked like a captain in the Tang army formation raised the red flag in his hand.

"Ready!"

"Put!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

。。。。。。

90 heavy dragon bombardment guns that fired 32 pounds of shells, the muzzle of each cannon, immediately spewed out crimson afterburners and dazzling golden fire, in the dense billowing white smoke, 90 black iron bullets, with the whistle of death, slammed into the west city wall of Peixian County.

The huge impact sound that shattered the eardrum sounded continuously, and the ninety black 32-pound iron bullets, as if they had eyes, hit the western city wall of Peixian County fiercely in an evenly distributed state.

On the west side of the city wall of the entire city, sixty large holes arranged neatly and evenly appeared in an instant, and at the edge of each large 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 dust and mist filled the air, and the entire city wall was trembling violently.

On the city wall, a large number of Ming army defenders who were shocked to the ears, eyes, nostrils and mouth bleeding together, everyone was shocked and bloody, 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 there were as many as sixty or seventy unstable defender soldiers, screaming and falling from the city wall, and then fell into a meat pie.

Liu Liangzuo's troops, who were guarding the western city wall, suddenly became greatly confused.

They were already weak in morale and unbearable for a battle, and they were good at preying on the villagers and oppressing the people every day, but it was too much to force them to maintain their composure and combat effectiveness under this strong and fierce battle.

At this time, on the western city wall, there was no need for people to organize at all, and immediately hundreds of frightened defender soldiers, as if they had seen the most terrifying thing in the world, screamed in horror, turned around and fled down the road of the city wall.

The commander defending the city was furious, and he and his guards immediately rushed out to slash and kill the fleeing soldiers, and finally stabilized the situation and restored calm to the western wall.

When the western wall of Peixian was finally re-stabilized, the next round of artillery bombardment by the Tang army began.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

。。。。。。

Ninety jet-black 32-pound iron bullets were like heavy punches from death, roaring in an extremely terrifying manner.

In the deafening sound of the crash, the broken bricks on the city wall rained down, and the dust and mist flew up all over the sky. The dense cobwebs and cracks on the entire western city wall have reached a shocking level.

In the face of such fierce violence and complete death, the struggle and resistance of human beings is almost a joke. The rest of the defenders, no one needed to mobilize, and I don't know who shouted, and these guys immediately abandoned their posts, howled and ran away. Their flight was so resolute, so unstoppable, that it was like a horde of mad beasts that seemed to knock anything in their way to the ground.

Faced with such a situation, the main general of the city head was no longer helpless, and could only flee down the city with those routed soldiers, hoping to form a new defense line in the city to resist the Tang army.

At this time, the third round of shelling of the Don army began again.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

。。。。。。

The dazzling fire flashed, the choking smoke floated up, and ninety thirty-two-pound iron bullets roared away, and the sound of the huge iron bullets crashing and the dull sound of the collapse of the city wall were continuous, and the smell made people palpitate. After this bombardment, there were nearly 20 gaps in the city wall in the west of Peixian County, and almost half of the city wall area completely collapsed.

At this point in the battle, the entire West Gate city wall had been completely destroyed, and Liu Guoneng, the mayor of the sixth town of the Tang Army, finally began to give a loud order to attack.

"Give me the order to march in a straight line with 6,000 musketeers and destroy all enemy forces in front of us. In addition, arrange for the spear and shield battle array to be guarded behind the firecrackers to prevent the enemy from attacking. In addition, the rampant is always divided into two parts, left and right, covering the flanks! “

"Order!"

Soon, in the Tang army's military formation, more than 9,000 musketeers, each holding a flint Lumi musket, lined up in a straight line, and strode forward amid the sound of drums.

Behind them was a line of spears and shields that seemed to be as straight as a line, keeping a distance of five or six paces from the musketeers in front of them, and following in silence.

On both sides of the entire battle array, there were rampant team members dressed in three layers of armor, each armed with heavy weapons, like mecha monsters, divided into two parts, firmly protecting the two wings. In the face of the Tang army's gunners who rushed neatly like machines, and the defenders of Liu Liangzuo's department who were guarding the entrance of the street, they all felt trembling, and everyone's faces had a look of horror and panic.

And the main general of the defenders standing behind the formation, he looked at the Tang army gunners who rushed in a long row, his face became more and more disgraced, and the despair in his heart was beyond words.

In fact, at this point in the battle, it can be said that the battle situation has been decided, in the case that the city wall has been broken, the enemy army can only be trapped in the streets and alleys, the enemy army has become a turtle in the urn, and they have no way out at all except to surrender with their hands tied.

However, the enemy army was still stubbornly resisting, and they held on in silence, as if they thought they could defeat the Tang army with courage and persistence.

And in this silence, the Tang Army's firecrackers have been getting closer and closer. Sixty paces away from them, the musketeers stopped their advance, formed two rows of squatting and standing in front of them, and began to aim at their targets in front of them, firing their guns.

"Bang bang bang! ……“

The upper and lower rows of firecrackers fired at the same time, and the bright red afterburners of the two rows of firecrackers flew like flying and shaking ribbons. The dense and choking white smoke flew up again, making the entire position suddenly turn into a state of white and invisible. Of the 9,000 firearms, more than 7,600 were fired, and countless tiny three-coin heavy lead bullets formed a dense rain of death in the air, letting out a soft scream, and shot out in front of the panicked defenders on the opposite side.

Tiny buckshot is like a gray killer bee, whistling at whatever it encounters. The defenders who were guarding the front row immediately had a number of them, like a trick, blooming with blood, and those who were hit fell on their backs as if they had been struck by a heavy hammer.

The continuous screams immediately rang out incessantly, and this intensive fire caused at least 600 enemy soldiers in front of the enemy troops in front of them, although they were blocked by shields, to be hit head-on by lead bullets, and they were either dead or wailing.

The Tang army's fierce salvo attack made the enemy troops in front of them finally unable to resist it anymore, and they no longer had the courage to continue fighting, and completely collapsed.

Countless enemy troops fled like frightened wild boars, and at this time, they had no discipline or punishment to restrain them, and these routs were scurrying around the city as if they were crazy, and no one could stop them from fleeing.

Seeing that under the Tang Army's fierce blow, these subordinates of his own suffered such heavy casualties, and the guards who were densely guarded by a group of guards were like white paper, trembling all over.

No, you can't let the Don Army continue shooting like this. If the Tang army is allowed to fight like this, no matter how many soldiers and horses there are under his command, they will only become the live targets of the Tang army, and they will all die in aggrieved condition. Moreover, in such a state of almost slaughter, the guards who are still willing to stick to it are afraid that they have problems with their heads.

"The whole army obeys my orders! Immediately raise the white flag and surrender to the Don Army! “

The guard finally shouted out these words helplessly, but the guard next to him immediately waved a large white flag, held it high in the air, and shook it vigorously.

"Brother Tang Jun, don't shoot, we are willing to surrender, we are willing to surrender!"

Hearing the untoned shouts of the defenders in the city, Liu Guoneng, the commander of the Tang Army, immediately ordered all the musketeers to stop firing and accept their surrender.

Soon, the remaining more than 4,000 defenders in the city abandoned their weapons and surrendered to the city in despair under the leadership of the main general.

In this siege of Peixian, after destroying nearly 1,000 enemies, the Tang army finally took this city garrisoned by 5,000 enemy troops in a very short period of time at a very small cost of slightly injuring a few people.

This is a complete victory over these ancient armies of the Ming and Qing dynasties, which have sufficient firepower and are very well organized and disciplined.

This guard general was pushed by two Tang Army soldiers and came to Liu Guoneng, the commander of the Tang Army and the mayor of the sixth town.

Liu Guoneng sat on his horse, looking at the defeated general in front of him with a depressed face in a condescending attitude, with a hidden smile on his face.

"Whoever kneels, report the name." The deputy mayor next to him asked in a deep voice.

Er Bilun, the current deputy mayor of the sixth town of the Tang Army, the son of the original Qing Aixin Jueluo clan, the eldest son of the former Blue Banner Lord Mang Gurtai, since crossing the sea to join the Tang Army, in the past few years, the current appearance is no longer abnormal with ordinary Han people, and the Chinese is also spoken very fluently, and there is no longer the original thick Manchurian accent.

The guard general didn't dare to raise his head, and replied in a trembling voice: "The little one's name is Liu Deshun, and he is a disciple of Liu Liangzuo's clan. Under the eyes do not know Mount Tai, strong and your army confrontation, at this time the city broke the party to lead the army to surrender, it is already too big, but also hope that the general ......"

"That's enough." Liu Guoneng interrupted his words coldly, and shouted angrily: "Although you stubbornly resist our army, fortunately, you still have the eyesight and know that you will come and surrender in time anyway, otherwise, you will definitely slaughter all the soldiers and horses of your army, and not one will be left!" ”

Hearing Liu Guoneng's murderous words, Liu Deshun was so frightened that he immediately fell to the ground and kowtowed like pounding garlic: "The little dog is bold and doesn't know the might of the heavenly soldiers, and he dares to offend the general, which is really a capital crime, but I still hope that the general will see that my family still has an eighty-year-old mother......

"Shut up, Ben won't have time to listen to your farts." Liu Guoneng waved his hand, interrupted his boring words, and asked: "Ben will spare your life, and he will not kill you again, and he will stain his own hands in vain." The general will ask you, do you know who is stationed in Xuzhou City now, and how many troops are there? ”

Liu Deshun was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly replied: "General Yu, now in Xuzhou City, Liu Liangzuo's brother Liu Liangchen is stationed. He has been working under Liu Liangzuo since he fled back from Dalinghe City, and was only appointed as the chief general of Xuzhou in August this year. Now in the land of Xuzhou, there are still more than 40,000 soldiers and horses. The city of Xuzhou is strong and the garrison is sufficient, but I am afraid that the general will be difficult to overcome for a while. “

Hearing Liu Deshun's words, Liu Guoneng frowned and pondered.

If the enemy army really has more than 40,000 people, and it is such a strong city as Xuzhou City, it will be really difficult to conquer it in a short time. In this case, it is better to think carefully.

However, just as Liu Guoneng was pondering, Liu Liangshun on the ground hurriedly reported: "However, don't worry, general. Previously, he had sent a sentinel to Xuzhou for help, but now, Liu Liangchen is not aware of what to do, and is sending reinforcements to rescue him. In this case, doesn't it create favorable conditions for your army to annihilate? ”
