Chapter 810: A Shocking Explosion, Burning the City
Yang Shan's order was given, and his soldiers all shouted in unison, and quickly used the fire rope hanging with him to ignite the long lead that had been twisted into a string hidden in the crack in the ground.
Soon, the fuses in all the critical places in the city had been ignited by Yang Shan and others, and the blue light flickered and burned the leads, like the eyes of the god of death awakening.
When the lead was bubbling with a bubbling blue light and burning rapidly all the way, Yang Shan and the more than thirty soldiers had quickly burrowed into the tunnels under the city and fled all the way to the west of the city.
At this moment, everyone spared no physical strength and fled wildly, hoping to quickly escape from the city before the tunnel was blown up.
Such a run is not an exaggeration to say that it is the speed of life and death.
When running through the tunnel under the west gate of Fuzhou City, everyone in the tunnel heard a dull and thunderous dense explosion from the ground, like rolling spring thunder sweeping through the ground, making everyone's eardrums buzz. At the same time, I could feel the ground tremble violently, and the tunnel beams above began to creak and collapse, and a large cloud of dust fluttered down, making the tunnel gray and yellow, not to mention that the direction in front of me could not be seen clearly, but even breathing began to become difficult.
It's just that the people who were choked and coughed all the time in the tunnel were all happy, and their eyes were full of excitement.
"Damn, the earth-shaking thunder in the city has finally exploded! Hmph, our bombing is estimated to kill at least seven or eight thousand Qing troops! Yang Shan wiped a handful of dust on his face, and his tone was full of pride.
He was right, not long after the fuse was lit, the cluster of earth-shaking thunder buried everywhere in the city suddenly woke up from its sleep like a sleeping dragon hidden in the city, and let out an earth-shattering roar.
It was furious, spewing blazing flames and unleashing countless scattered shrapnel, like an unimaginable metal storm, striking the Qing troops around them with a fierce blow.
Looking down from the sky, you can see that in the dense and dazzling golden yellow firelight, in the large white smoke rising in all directions, countless blood-colored flowers that burst into the sky like explosions, and countless explosions of human body parts and internal organs into the water, like a rain of flesh and blood flying in the sky, flying in all directions, its shape is extremely terrifying.
What is even more terrifying is that this dense and ferocious explosion collapsed countless houses and buildings in the city, and large pieces of collapsed broken bricks and broken trees fell from the air, killing and wounding a large number of Qing troops who could not evade.
The dense explosion was followed by a series of screams. As Yang Shan said, at least more than 5,000 Qing soldiers were killed on the spot in this fierce bombing, and nearly 10,000 Qing soldiers were seriously injured and fell to the ground wailing.
Seeing this terrible change in the city, Shuoto, the deputy general in charge of directing the attack, was completely deaf with two ears, blood was constantly dripping out of his ear canal, his long face instantly turned sallow, and the cold sweat on his forehead was dripping like rain.
it!
How so!
I really didn't expect that the Hauge Department would hide such a vicious hand!
In this dense explosion, his subordinates ran intensively in the city, and it was too late or too late to disperse, and this dense explosion can imagine how heavy the damage and blow will be.
And just when he was still immersed in a silent world, the Qing army in the city, after a very short period of stunned, immediately screamed again and again, and fled from the city.
Everyone's face was full of terror and despair, they pushed and shoved, wailed and howled, only afraid that they would flee slower than them, so from the streets of the city to the narrow city gate, nearly a thousand Qing soldiers were trampled to death and wounded, and their appearance was unbearable at a glance.
At this time, at the end of the main formation in the north of Fuzhou City, Azig, the main general of the Qing army, who had been closely observing, saw this huge change and terrible explosion, and his expression was extremely shocked, his mouth was wide open, his body trembled, and he almost fell off his horse.
The huge profits are in front, and there is no trap, and he is a veteran of the battlefield who has been fighting for many years, and he has broken his troops and horses in this small Fuzhou City, which is really regrettable and hateful!
"Grandma, I've been playing eagles all my life, but I didn't expect to be pecked blind by an eagle in this hellish place!" Azig let out a long sigh and tried to calm himself: "The whole army will withdraw from the city for the time being, and if there is no movement in the city, send someone to carefully enter the city to investigate." After confirming that there was no more earth-shattering thunder from the explosion, Fang ordered the whole army to enter the city and kill the remnants of Hauge! ”
"Hey, the slave has to be ordered!"
His subordinate Bakashgar soldiers hurriedly went to give orders, and the Qing troops who had withdrawn from the city in panic were able to rest outside the city for a while when the panic calmed down, and the originally chaotic formation gradually returned to calm.
Then, seeing that the city was silent after this bombardment, the momentum of the original burning flames in the sky had decreased a lot, and there were hundreds of soldiers in the Qing army's formation, all of whom were frightened, and began to carefully enter the city to investigate.
When I entered the city, I saw that the city was already in ruins, the ground and walls were full of blood and flesh, the mutilated corpses were spread all over the ground, and a large number of undead soldiers were still moaning in a low voice.
Fortunately, such a terrible ambush explosion never happened again, and everyone gradually put down their hearts hanging in their throats and began to carefully inspect the situation in the city.
About two pillars of incense, these soldiers who entered the city rushed out of the city and reported to Azig urgently.
"Prince Ying, the minions have carefully probed and found no enemy troops in the city. Later, the minions discovered a secret passage to the outside of the city in a dry well that had been blown up in the west of the city. The entrance to the secret passage has been blown up, and no one can enter, so it is difficult to know where this secret passage leads......"
Before the Qing army finished speaking, a large noise sounded in the Qing army formation at the north and south ends of the city, like the sound of low waves surging and quickly reaching Azig's ears.
"What's going on?"
"Prince Yuying, our soldiers found that at the mouth of the beach in Fuzhou City, there seems to be an exit from a secret passage, and about hundreds of enemy troops have hurriedly withdrawn from the secret passage and boarded the ships of the Tang Army Naval Division on the coast. Excuse me, do you want to send troops in pursuit now? The sentry asked eagerly.
Azig's face tensed, and he let out a long sigh, but shook his head slowly.
By now, Azig, the commander of the Qing army, has already figured out the situation of the defenders of Fuzhou City.
Damn, I completely miscalculated.
On that day, after the Haoge tribe attacked the land of Gaizhou, they did not return to Fuzhou City at all, but did not know where they went. In this Fuzhou City, there are only hundreds of soldiers left here by his arrangement.
In order to confuse themselves, these defenders all stayed at the head of the city, and set up a large number of puppets and scarecrows mixed in, so that they misjudged the number of defenders in the city, and dared to build siege equipment to seize the city, which wasted precious days in vain.
In the end, when the defenders of the city were vigorously attacking the city, they all withdrew from the city and sneaked all the way back to the secret passage, and most of the people fled straight to the coast west of Fuzhou through the secret passage.
In this Fuzhou city, Haoge, who entered the dog, only left dozens of soldiers, hiding in the critical place of this Fuzhou city, seeing that the Qing army rushed into a dense group, so he ignited a fire and detonated, and the Qing army that was caught off guard suffered heavy losses and was in a mess.
However, they themselves took advantage of the gap of nodding their heads to flee in a hurry, caught up with the soldiers who had left earlier in the secret passage, came out of the exit of the coast together, boarded the ships of the Tang Army sailors parked on the coast, and withdrew.
Thinking of this, Azig couldn't help but let out a long sigh again.
It took a lot of effort to bring troops from Shengjing, plus the troops of the king of Sanshun, but nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses have been lost, only to get such an empty city where the enemy army has already withdrawn, and the interior has been moved, and now it has been bombed into a ruin. This is simply a huge irony and unspeakable shame for a famous fighter like himself who has been on the battlefield for a long time and has made countless achievements.
Finally Azig recovered from his frustration and anger, and he was unable to give the order to let the Qing army enter the city, symbolically occupy the city, and at the same time make every effort to treat the wounded and collect the corpses of the Qing soldiers that were covered with the ground in the city.
And the enemy troops who had escaped from the secret passage at the entrance that had been blown up and had boarded the ships of the Tang Army's naval divisions could only go by them.
Just after Azig finished giving the order, on the coast west of Fuzhou City, the dozens of ships of the Tang Army Navy honked their horns in unison, and the loud whistle sounded through the sky, sounding as high-pitched as a demonstration.
This battle of Fuzhou City ended hastily.
The Qing army, with huge losses in personnel, got an empty city. Azig's imaginary annihilation of Haoge's troops, and then bringing the heads of Haoge, Aobai, Yang Shan and others back to Shengjing, the scene of the jubilation of the triumphant class teacher has disappeared like a bubble. Now it seems that such bold words were nothing more than a self-inflicted joke.
The day after the capture of Fuzhou City, Azig, who was extremely depressed, ordered the class to be divided, and the king of Sanshun also returned to the station.
What Azig, Sanshun Wang and others would never have imagined was that in the early morning of the day of their division, the ships of the Tang Army's naval division, after loading the Tang Army's artillery units from Jinzhou, had already traveled all the way north to the sea outside Zhuanghe City, preparing to first attack the Yellow Bone Island Fort built on the sea outside Zhuanghe City.
Yellow Bone Island Fort, built in the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, the geographical location is located in a remote coast in the north of Zhuanghe City, a county-level city under Dalian now, the right side is the mouth of the Yingna River, the west is connected to Pulandian Guifu Fort, the east is connected to Zhenyi Fort, towering over the sea and standing, located in a dangerous place. This fort is the same as the nearby Guifu Fort and Zhenyi Fort, which was built for the Ming Dynasty to prevent the invasion of the Japanese invaders.
This fort is built very solidly, around a mile 250 steps, there is a gate to the south, the fort body is covered with bricks, the Ming army has not abandoned the defense, there have been nearly 300 Ming troops stationed, on the occasion of the Ming Dynasty's Wanli Eastern Expedition, there were garrisons as many as 1,000 people.
But since the Dongjiang general soldier Mao Wenlong was killed by Yuan Chonghuan, the hearts of the soldiers in Dongjiang Town were fluctuating, and there were many internal strife, and the new general soldier Huang Long was exhausted to suppress the mutinies one after another. And because after the Ming army was defeated in the Daling River last year, the reinforcements sent by southern Liaoning were all wiped out, and the troops were even more insufficient, so Huanglong ordered that the Ming army in southern Liaoning fully retreated to the territory of Jinzhou, and the Yellow Bone Island Fort was abandoned by the Ming army as well as the subordinate Baihu Fort such as Guifu Fort and Zhenyi Fort. However, because of its favorable position on the river and the sea, this fort was subsequently occupied by the troops sent by the Later Jin.
From the beginning of the Later Jin Dynasty to the current Shunzhi period, it was under the rule of the Qing Dynasty. It is estimated that the more than 300 Kong Youde defenders guarding this fort never dreamed that on such a cold evening, the Tang army would send troops and horses to attack them.
At the end of the early morning of the seventh day of the seventh lunar month in the first year of Anping, the Tang army fleet, which had slowed down as much as possible, quietly arrived at the coast three miles in front of the Yellow Bone Fort.
At this time, the whole army of Hauge had made the final preparations on the ship, and when the sky was getting brighter and the scenery could be seen clearly, the soldiers of the whole army carried bows and guns, went out of the hatch, and disembarked and landed.
At this time, the snowflakes began to fall, flying everywhere with the howling cold wind, like a distant and vast song.
Wearing an eight-petal helmet of fine iron, wearing pure white fine iron armor, a red cloak on his shoulders, a thick cowhide belt around his waist, and iron mesh boots, he was the first to set foot on the shore of the Zhuang River, took a deep breath of cold and cold air, and looked up at the dark black sky where snowflakes were flying for a long time, and his eyes were full of emotion.
Hmph, the current Azig should have taken Fuzhou. It's just that although Azig's gang took Fuzhou, they could only get one empty city, and they had to pay for being ambushed and exploded, and they had to pay a lot of military casualties, which would definitely make Azig's gang and the Qing court feel as uncomfortable as eating shit.
And now, I have to take advantage of the victory to pursue Kong Youde's lair and completely eradicate it, so that these bastards will only find a bunch of completely destroyed bricks and tiles, and it will be difficult to live again!
When Hauge's troops quietly landed from the coast, on the Yellow Bone Island Fort, a veteran of the fort who was originally huddled into a ball and napping on the fortress wall was shivered by the harsh cold wind and woke up from a hazy dream.
He rubbed his eyes and stood up, and immediately shivered greatly at the howling cold wind and cold snowflakes, and with a long yawn, he could not help but curse indignantly when he saw that the other fort wall guards were still asleep wrapped in thick linoleum. I don't know if it's to scold these guards or my own superiors.
Then, as required by the previous patrols, the guard slowly walked up to the top of the fort tower and looked around to see if there was anything unusual.
The guard casually looked around, and suddenly his eyes widened, and then he grabbed the wall of the building with both hands, staring straight to the east of the Yellow Bone Island Fort, and his mouth opened into an O-shape at the same time.
He could scarcely believe his eyes.
Through the snowflakes falling from the sky, he could vaguely see that there were several large ships parked on the seashore where almost no one had ever been, and a large number of troops were rolling down from them.
The guard's face turned pale suddenly, and he shouted, "Oh no! Oh no! An enemy is coming! ”
