At this time, it was the end of the hour, but the sky was covered with thick clouds, the cold wind was howling, and the sky and the earth were still dark.

Li Dingguo looked gloomy, standing on the snow-capped inner city wall, constantly observing the movements of the Qing army outside the city.

In fact, as for how the Qing army will act next, Li Dingguo's heart is actually bottomless.

After all, the current Qing army has surrounded the inner city and has a great advantage, and there are too many ways to choose from to attack, so Li Dingguo can't judge at all now where the Qing army will start attacking, and how and how, to start attacking the inner city of Vladivostok Fort.

It's just that when he saw that a large number of Qing troops dressed in uniforms suddenly climbed up the outer city wall, and turned the Tang army artillery left on the city wall one after another, and turned it towards the direction of the inner city, Li Dingguo's eyes widened unconsciously.

Okay, these guys are really ruthless enough, and they actually came up with the idea of using the artillery left by the Tang Army to attack the inner city of Vladivostok, this plan is really vicious.

Alas, it's all because the retreat just now was too hasty, and it didn't have time to damage the artillery left in the city, which is good, just cheap for these Tartars.

It's just that you damn Tartars, do you think that Ben will only be helpless, hmph, think lightly.

Don't forget, in our Tang Army, there are famous sailors on the sea outside the peninsula. Next, Ben will give a rampant guy like you, a praying mantis catching cicada and yellow finch behind.

Li Dingguo had already made up his mind and made a decision quickly, and he immediately sounded the flag, and the sharp sound of the swan horn suddenly rose in all directions.

Huang Taiji was in the tent of the Chinese army, smiling and watching the Tang army busy in the inner city, but his heart was inexplicably happy.

He could already imagine that these Tang troops, together with the inner city they were holding onto, would be wiped out under their own continuous artillery fire, and there would be no more left.

Hmph, Li Dingguo, I have good intentions to persuade you to surrender, but you don't know how to lift up life or die, now, I won't have the slightest sympathy for you, after all, this dead end is your own effort, you go to hell and regret it.

Huang Taiji turned his head to look again, and saw that his own army was at the head of the city, with more than ten people in a pile, surrounding an artillery left over from the Tang Army, which was nervously re-debugging, and the happiness in his heart was even more indescribable.

What he never expected was that at this moment, on the sea outside the city, there was a continuous sound of artillery, and all the artillery of the Tang Army's naval division along the coast on three sides was fired towards the Qing army who was adjusting the position of the artillery at the head of the city at this moment.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

。。。。。。

In the continuous sound of huge cannons that shattered the eardrums, the muzzles of countless heavy dragon guns immediately floated with crimson afterburners, flashing with dazzling golden fire, and in the dense billowing white smoke, countless huge black iron bullets of all sizes and sizes, with the whistle of death, slammed into the outer city walls of Vladivostok Fort.

In the midst of the dull and heavy crash, a flock of black crow-like iron bullets flew densely, as if they had eyes, and in an evenly distributed state, they hit the entire Vladivostok city wall except for the western wall.

On the three walls of the entire Vladivostok Fort, nearly hundreds of big holes appeared in an instant, and at the edge of each big hole, the thick and cracked lines were as dense as spider webs, and they spread unscrupulously to the siege, and the bricks of the city wall were splashed and cracked, and a piece of dust and mist was filled, and on the walls of the outer city on three sides, they were trembling violently as if they had asthma. Huang Taiji was horrified to see that these cannonballs from the naval guns, in addition to beating the city wall to a thousand holes and full of devastation, also knocked the cannons on the city wall into a shock, fell off the city wall, and became a pile of scrap copper and rotten iron.

There were also several cannons, which were directly hit by the gunwales, and the cannon body and gun carriage were torn apart and scattered into a pile of twisted fragments.

And on the city wall, by the sudden attack of the naval artillery, 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 the nose, and the city wall under their feet shook violently like a pendulum, and nearly 100 Qing soldiers who were unstable on their feet fell from the city wall with a scream like a broken leaf blown by the wind, and then fell into a meat pie.

The Tang Army's fierce naval artillery salvo this time actually caused the three walls of Vladivostok Fort to fall into a lot of chaos in an instant.

The Qing army's chief general Abatai, who was directing the Qing army to adjust the artillery position at the head of the city, witnessed with his own eyes that the heads of the two guards beside him were hit by the same six-pound cannonball, and the two heads suddenly burst together at the same moment, like a watermelon hit by a hammer, and the helmet fragments and brains flew together, looking very terrifying, and Abatai screamed loudly.

And Abatai himself, hit by the surging waves of sand and dust, his dust and hair were scattered, as if he had just come out of the desert, he looked extremely embarrassed, he coughed violently, and with the support of his subordinates, he barely stood up on the battlements of the city wall.

At this time, Abba Taifu saw a large number of Qing soldiers who were shocked to the point of bleeding from their mouths and noses, and their faces were covered with dust, they screamed in horror, turned around and fled from the road of the city wall.

"Don't run! Come back to Lao Tzu and keep guarding! Those who violate military orders will be killed! ”

Rushing towards the fleeing Qing troops, Abba Taixing roared.

It's just that in this chaos, although he shouted hoarsely, it had little effect, and the Qing soldiers on the city who were frightened by the extremely terrifying death still ran away regardless of their heads.

A Qing soldier who had been shocked to the point of his ears, nose and mouth was running past Abatai with a wail, completely ignoring the warning of the supreme commander of the Qing army, and even the Abatai guards next to him couldn't hold back.

"Damn, what are you panicking about?!"

Abatai was angry and angry, he brushed the ground and drew his sharp sword, shouted angrily, stabbed the fleeing guy from the back to the chest, and stabbed a big hole, the fleeing Qing infantryman's body shook a little, and fell to the ground and died.

Abatai did not hesitate, and slashed at the rest of the Qing soldiers, and wherever the sword light went, a wail sounded.

Finally, after Abatai and his guards slashed and killed more than ten people one after another, these defeated Qing troops re-stabilized, and the escapees returned to their posts in fear, and the situation on the three walls was slightly stabilized.

At this time, the Qing soldiers above and below the city saw that at the head of the inner city of Vladivostok Fort, flags were flying again, and the sound of swans was loud.

Everyone, including Huang Taiji, understood that this was the Tang Army's signal, and the sailors on the sea continued to carry out the second round of fighting.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

。。。。。。

Hundreds of black iron bullets of all sizes whistled in, and in the deafening sound of cannons, the broken bricks on the city wall rained down, and the choking dust and mist flew up all over the sky.

The three walls of Vladivostok Fort are covered with dense cobweb cracks, and the entire wall, which was not built in the first place, is damaged to a shocking degree, like a dying patient.

All the defending Qing troops, including Abatai, 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 on to it fell from the city wall with screams.

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.

There were also all kinds of artillery that had narrowly escaped the first salvo, and like toys that had been shaken away, they were thrown around, and they flew off the city walls, and then fell into a pile of scrap copper and iron on the ground.

Under the fierce bombardment of hundreds of naval guns of the Tang Army's naval division, the outer city wall of Vladivostok Fort, which had not yet been built, collapsed at a very alarming rate, and many sections of the city wall began to collapse from the middle part, and the rammed earth inside, together with the broken bricks on the surface of the city wall, splashed in all directions, and these three walls became a ruin.

Under the heavy blow of the ships of the Tang Army's naval division, the Qing army fell into an extremely passive situation, and the Qing army defenders who were hit hard by the second blow suddenly fell into a greater degree of chaos.

Under such a fierce and violent force, in the face of such an absolute death that no manpower could resist at all, and in such a battle from the sea that could not be fought back at all, all the Qing troops on the three walls of the city were in battle for a long time, and their confidence was also seriously damaged, and the morale of the original severely reduced was suddenly reduced to almost impossible to do.

There was no need for mobilization at all, and I don't know who shouted, and many of the guys who had already been frightened immediately lost their posts, howled and rushed down the city wall and road, and fled frantically for their lives.

When the furious Abatai was about to kill again, the guards on the side rushed over in a panic and shouted to him: "Lord Belle, this city wall can't be defended!" ”

Abatai, whose face was ashen, opened his mouth, and finally sighed: "Alas, what can I do about this, Benbel has already boasted to the emperor about Haikou, and he wants to make this first contribution to seize the inner city." Why is it good now, without firing a single shot, but was defeated by the Tang Army's naval division. It's a real shame to play such a record. What kind of face do I have to report to the emperor? ”

The guard hurriedly advised: "Don't spare Baylor to make such depressing words, this is the situation is stronger than people, how can you blame Baylor alone?" Now that the artillery fire of the Tang Army's naval division is so fierce, even if the other princes come to command, it is nothing more than that, and Baylor should not blame himself too much. ”

And when the two of them were talking, from the Qing army array under the city, there was a sound of tinkling gold, and the Qing army, which was already in panic, immediately fled one after another like a rabbit in the amnesty.

Abatai sighed, but did not insist any longer, and hurriedly withdrew from the city wall under the protection of a group of guards.

At this time, on the inner city walls of Vladivostok Fort, there was a burst of enthusiastic cheers.

The soldiers of the Tang Army defending the city all had expressions of joy on their faces when they saw the Qing army that was bombarded by their own sailors and was defeated.

At this time, the face of the main general Li Dingguo was even more joyful, and the happiness in his heart was not expressed.

Hmph, you dog-inned Tartars, now you have tasted the power of the ships and artillery of my Tang Army's naval division. If it weren't for the fast escape of you guys, there would only be more Tartars to bury our army.

After descending the city wall, Abatai hurriedly returned to the Chinese army tent and went to report the battle to Huang Taiji.

"Your Majesty, due to the fierce artillery fire of the Tang Army, our army cannot resist, the three city walls have collapsed in a large area, and most of the city's artillery has been destroyed, the ministers are incompetent, please punish the emperor."

Abatai entered the palace, and then fell to the ground to beat the skewers, and pleaded loudly to the emperor Taiji.

Huang Taiji looked down at Abatai, who was pleading guilty underground, with a blue face and no words.

In fact, when the Qing army was passively beaten and was beaten by the artillery of the Tang Army's naval division, Huang Taiji was in the city, and he had already vividly remembered and saw it very clearly.

At that time, although he was furious in his heart, he could only do nothing, watching the Tang Army's naval guns bombarded and helpless, and finally after the Qing army suffered two rounds of shelling, he had to issue an emergency retreat order.

Shame, shame!

The Da Qing Shui Division is very weak, basically only the poor sailors who surrendered from Dongjiang Town in the Ming Dynasty, these sailors, whether in terms of combat strength or fighting spirit, are very poor, and they are simply unable to compete with the Tang Army's sailors.

can only be bullied by the rampant and domineering Tang Army sailors like this, which is really unbearable!

It's just that if the Qing Dynasty wants to win this game, it will not be able to compete with the Tang Army unless such a powerful naval division is built, but the amount of silver spent to build such a huge naval division is probably an astronomical amount.

Li Xiao, who entered the dog, because he had a huge amount of financial revenue, could maintain such a huge amount of sailor ships.

The number of ships of this scale is unthinkable for the Qing Dynasty, which is also very financially tight now, and even if the Qing Dynasty tries its best to build these ships, there is simply not enough silver to maintain a fleet of such a size.

Without sufficient strength, the Qing Dynasty could only obediently endure the water superiority of the Tang army, and there was no way to change the status quo.

Huang Taiji let out a long sigh before he said loudly to Abatai, who was kneeling underground: "Abatai, you can get up, the naval guns of the Tang Army are so fierce, I can be regarded as having seen it today, but it is a pity that since the founding of the Qing Dynasty, the naval division has been so weak and inactive, compared with that Li Xiao, it is completely backward, which is also amazing." ”

After the emperor said this, the entire Chinese military tent was suddenly silent.

Huang Taiji's words, uttered, can be regarded as the most painful pain for the entire Qing Empire, and it is the weakest link that is powerless to change in the foreseeable future.

After a long time, Fang Youhuang Taiji broke the silence on his own and asked everyone: "The Tang Army's naval division is so powerful, it is impossible for our army to use the artillery on the city wall to destroy the inner city of Vladivostok, do you have any good strategy to capture this inner city?" ”
