"Qin Zongrong, look at this posture, the eastern captives are going to attack the northern and western cities."

On the upper floor of Beicheng City, Zhu Shuaiqin, the king of Qing, who was dressed in bright light armor and wearing a phoenix wings and forehead helmet, said worriedly.

Although he was able to calm down during the Texas uprising. But at that time, the city of Texas was empty, and all they had to deal with was a few puppet officials and their cronies who broke into the thief's seal. At present, there are thousands of Dongyu armor soldiers outside the city of Dezhou, and there are more than 10,000 strong men for them to drive and fill the river, and the situation is very grim.

Qin Gongming waved his hand and said, "With this little person, Dongyu also wants to attack the city?" It's just wishful thinking. His Royal Highness King Qing can rest assured that the last general will ensure that Dezhou City is not lost. ”

Zhu Shuaiqin breathed a sigh of relief and said with emotion: "With Qin Zongrong's words, Lone is relieved." ”

"It won't be long before the Dongyu will attack the city, the city is dangerous, and His Royal Highness King Qing's daughter is not suitable to stand in danger."

When Zhu Shuaiqin heard this, he said with a blank face: "Mr. Qin's words are wrong. Although Lone does not know how to use soldiers, he also knows the importance of morale. Lone is the Prince of the Ming Dynasty, and if there is Lone at the head of the city to boost morale, the soldiers will also kill the enemy more hard, right? ”

Qin Gongming was slightly stunned, he really didn't expect Zhu Shuaiqin to think so. The pro-vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty were generally cowardly by nature, and there were only a few who could take the initiative to stand at the head of the city to boost morale.

But when he thought about it, he thought it was understandable. After all, Zhu Shuaiqin is a distant branch of the Qing Domain, if he hadn't called on the gentry to kill the puppet officials to take Dezhou and even Shandong, how could the position of King Qing fall on his head.

Seeking wealth and danger, this Zhu Shuaiqin is indeed a little bold.

Qin Gongming couldn't help but look up to Zhu Shuaiqin a little higher, and said with a slight bow: "Since this is the case, please ask His Royal Highness King Qing to sit at the head of the city and watch the soldiers kill the enemy and serve the country!" ”

"Qin Zongrong rest assured, as long as Dezhou City does not fall, Lone will not leave the city tower one step!"

Qin Gongming's blood was surging, and he took out the saber at his waist and shouted: "Soldiers, it's time to kill the enemy and serve the country." Under the city walls are extremely vicious Tartars, who killed the Han people in Liaodong, and burned and looted all the way after entering the customs. Now they want to fight Texas, Shandong, and turn us all into slaves. The Han people in Liaodong, the people of Jifu, and the fathers and elders of Henan, all those under the rule of the Tartars must shave their hair and change their clothes. How can parents who suffer from the skin of the body be insulted! Soldiers, let's not be slaves, don't keep that ugly braid, don't be slaves to the country! ”

"Kill, kill, kill!"

Most of Qin Gongming's troops were trained by the Huai'an regiment that he brought out, and he was instilled with the brutality of the Tartars by Qin Gongming all day long, and he was naturally extremely hostile to the Qing soldiers.

Especially the 500 white pole soldiers of the Sichuan Army in Qin Gongming's hands have a deep blood feud with the Eight Banners of the Qing Army.

Qin Gongming's words were impassioned, and they had completely mobilized their emotions, and the roar shook the sky.

The existing strength in the city of Dezhou is 20,000 regimental training township soldiers, another 1,000 former Huai'an patrol standard battalion, and 500 white pole soldiers of the Sichuan army.

Since the main direction of attack of the Qing army was the north city and the west city, Qin Gongming also made targeted deployment arrangements.

7,000 township soldiers were assigned to the north and west cities to garrison, and 3,000 township soldiers were left in the east and south cities to assist in the defense.

In addition, he personally led the 500 Sichuan Army white pole soldiers to sit in the center of Beicheng and dispatch.

1,000 veterans of the Governor's Standard Battalion were led by Adjutant General He Rong to suppress the battle in Xicheng.

Although Texas City is a fortified city, it is not equipped with Hongyi cannons. However, there were six Franc cannons in the city.

Qin Gongming ordered people to move these six cannons to the head of the city, and left three guns in the north and west of the city to strengthen the momentum.

Seeing that more and more strong men were driven by the Qing soldiers to fill the river, Qin Gongming ordered people to shout at the head of the city.

"Fathers and fellow villagers, we are all Han Chinese, don't work hard for the Tartars anymore. There is a kind of man who fights with the Tartar, even if he dies, he has to pull a Tartar cushion on his back! ”

The strong men who rushed forward with sandbags on their shoulders didn't seem to hear. They were really scared to be killed by the Tartars.

The Tartars will not allow them to escape, and anyone who tries to escape will be hacked to death immediately.

There is still a glimmer of life when they rush forward, but they will die if they go back, and they have no choice.

As for the fact that they are helping the Tartars to fill the river and attack the city, what about their own compatriots? People in troubled times are as cheap as dogs, isn't fate like this?

Either they were coerced and driven by the rogues, or they were captured by the Tartars to fill the trenches, what difference did it make?

Qin Gongming saw that his shouting was fruitless, so he closed his eyes and ordered: "Open the cannon!" ”

In any case, the Tartars can't be allowed to fill the moat easily, if Qin Gongming sympathizes with these Han strong men, he is irresponsible to the 20,000 township soldiers at the head of the city and tens of thousands of fathers and elders in the city.

That's it, since this infamy is destined to be carried by someone, it is up to him Qin Gongming to carry it.

If the imperial historians want to impeach, they will impeach, and if the officials want to scold their mothers, let them scold their mothers.

In short, Qin Gongming will never show the slightest hesitation and weakness in the face of the Tartars, he is the same as these five hundred white pole soldiers of the Sichuan Army, and he has a deep blood feud with the Tartars!

In the bloody battle of the Hunhe River, all the white pole soldiers stationed on the front line were gone, and now it was time for him, the junior of the Qin family, to take the lead!

"Fire!"

Each of these six cannons was nine feet long, weighed six hundred pounds, and each had five guns, which had been loaded with lead and ammunition in advance.

Qin Gongming gave an order, and the six Franc cannons were ignited at the same time.

There was a roar, and the ammunition in one sub-gun was fired, and the ammunition in the other sub-gun was immediately loaded into the mother gun and fired, and there was no need to fill water to cool down after firing like the Hongyi cannon.

This was the first time Qin Gongming had seen the Franc machine gun fire with his own eyes, and he was immediately attracted by this kind of reloading artillery.

Although this small cannon is not as powerful as the Hongyi cannon, it is fast to reload, and can fight continuously, making it extremely efficient on the battlefield.

Moreover, the weight of the Franc cannon is much lighter than that of the Hongyi cannon, so it can be used not only to defend the city, but also to be equipped in field battles.

Before they could react, they were shot by a lead bullet that swirled through their bodies and penetrated their internal organs.

At first they felt a tingling pain, then it turned into heart-rending colic, and they fell to the ground wailing in pain, and after a short time they swallowed.

Some of the lucky ones were shot through the head with buckshot and spared the pain.

However, the number of Fran cannons of the Ming army was limited after all, and a considerable number of strong men still carried sandbags to the moat.

At such a close distance, the Fran cannon could not hit the target, and Qin Gongming had to order the archers to fire a volley.

The strong men raised sandbags to protect their heads. But there are so many things at stake around them, how can it be enough to just protect their heads.

The carved arrows of the Ming army were extremely damaging to the unarmored strong men, and dozens or hundreds of strong men fell when a rain of arrows fell. The bodies of some of the strong men even fell directly into the moat, and together with the sandbags, they became part of the river reclamation.

The golden drums on the head of the city sounded in unison, and the sound of killing shook the sky. No one noticed that Qin Gongming, the general soldier in charge of the Texas Garrison Battle, was already clenched with his fists clenched and his eyes were red.
