Chapter 370: Soldiers Coming to Fuzhou

While Adali was extremely hesitant, the Tang army had already begun to act quickly. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Adali was horrified to see that those Tang cavalry, with four troops and galloping horses, blocked the four gates of Fuzhou respectively, forming a trend of closing the gates and beating the dogs in Fuzhou City.

The infantry of the Tang Army, which was also divided into four divisions, were following behind the cavalry, striding towards the four city gates, and together with the cavalry, the four city gates were firmly blocked.

Seeing the Tang Army's actions so fast, Adali's heart sank unconsciously.

There is no escape.

A trace of hideousness suddenly flashed on Adali's slender face.

Since there is no escape, let's fight to the end with these dog-in-law Tang Army!

I want these dogs to take a good look at the Tang Army, the power of the Eight Banners warriors, and the pride of the Aixin Jueluo family!

Adali decided in his heart that the reason why Wanyan Yechen, the commander of Lushun, who had 3,000 Manchurian soldiers and horses and 2,000 Han soldiers and horses, lost Lushun City so quickly was very likely that this fight fell into the Tang army's plan to lure the enemy and go out of the city to fight against the Tang army without authorization, which allowed the Tang army to succeed in the sneak attack, so that Lushun and the entire Jinzhou fell into the hands of the Tang army so quickly.

And now in the city of Fuzhou, there are a total of 1,500 Manchurian soldiers, 500 Mongolian Eight Banner soldiers, and, since five days ago after getting the news of the Tang army's invasion of Jinzhou, Adali has begun to make preparations, he from Fuzhou City, temporarily forcibly recruited the young and strong soldiers in the city, and pulled out more than 1,000 young soldiers, so there are more than 3,000 soldiers and horses in the city. Adali believes that in the case of holding on to the city, with these garrison troops, they should also be able to compete with the surging Tang army for a while.

He believed that the imperial court must now be sending reinforcements quickly, perhaps, as long as he can resist for a few days, and when the Qing reinforcements arrive, he can attack them inside and outside, and wipe out all the Tang troops outside the city.

As a result, when the Tang army was urgently besieging the city, Adali was also quickly organizing and distributing troops.

After he dispatched troops and went to the four city walls to garrison, from the Tang army's formation, a messenger-like person ran out, with two guards behind him, and quickly ran towards the south gate of Fuzhou.

"Who is the lord of the city, and can you go up to the city to answer?" The messenger shouted loudly to the south gate in Manchu.

Hearing the messenger's shout, Adali walked up to the south gate of the city, and he shouted at the envoy with a stiff face: "I am the lord of the city, Adali, and this king is the grandson of Prince Dai Shan, the son of Prince Ying Sakhalian. What's the, hurry up! ”

Adali finished shouting loudly, but the Tang army envoy smiled slightly, and then said loudly: "Adali, you listen." Now this Fuzhou City has been surrounded by our legions, and some soldiers and horses are already unable to escape! I wanted to wipe out all of you, but Lord Li, the Duke of Tang Guo, was merciful and didn't want to be punished without teaching, so he sent a special messenger to announce that as long as you lay down your arms and surrender out of the city, our army can let you wait for a way out. If you don't agree, you will definitely capture Fuzhou, and the whole city will be slaughtered, and there will be no chickens and dogs! ”

The last words of the envoy accentuated the tone, and the voice was full of violentness. Unexpectedly, when Adali heard this, he laughed loudly, and he stared at a pair of blood-red eyes and scolded: "Phew! Shut your dog's mouth! You despicable dogs, you shameless Nikans, want my Eight Banners warriors to surrender to you, it's really wishful thinking! You nonsense Hugh said, if you have the ability, you Han dogs will come to attack the city, Ben will see what skills you have, you can capture my high-level and well-prepared Fuzhou City! ”

After Adali finished speaking, he took the bow from the hand of the guard next to him, put the arrow on the bow, and shot an arrow with a whoosh, and the sharp arrow flew past the face of the envoy of the Tang Army, which frightened the envoy's face to change greatly.

"Adam, don't be rampant, you wait! Wait for our army to break through the city and slaughter them all! ”

The messenger dropped a word in hatred, and pulled his horse back.

On the city wall behind, there was a cheer from the Qing army defending the city.

From the clairvoyant mirror, Li Xiao, who clearly saw this scene, snorted coldly.

Laugh, laugh as much as you want, life is short after all. Soon, my father will let you go to hell and cry enough.

"Spread the order of the Gong Army, all the dragon artillery directly attacked the right city wall in the south, and completely collapsed the city wall here."

"Order!"

Under the scorching sun, 70 heavy dragon bombardment guns, lined up, in a neat array, pushed towards the right side of the city wall in the south of Fuzhou City.

When Adali saw the 70 heavy dragon guns with huge shapes and black holes like the devil's open mouth, stopping a thousand meters away from the southern city wall, the shock in his heart was indescribable.

Adali saw that the Tang army concentrated all the 70 heavy steel cannons with huge muzzles on the right side of the southern city wall. Subsequently, these Tang gunners began to be extremely skillful in loading gunpowder on the spot, measuring the spacing with a gun gauge and adjusting the angle of fire.

Adali, who put down the clairvoyant mirror, instantly understood that he had made a huge mistake.

He originally thought that the Tang army was able to eliminate Yan Yechen's soldiers and horses by luring the snake out of the hole, so as to capture Lushun City by luck, but now it seems that these 70 heavy artillery pieces are the real siege methods of the Tang army.

In the face of such fierce and ferocious artillery, no stratagem, no bravery, are not worth mentioning. What's more, the important town of Lushun can still be conquered by the Tang army in one fell swoop, so can Fuzhou City, which has much worse defensive strength, really withstand the fierce bombardment of these artillery?

Adali peeked over, and saw the soldiers and young men stationed on the city wall, and everyone's faces were full of horror, and even many of them were trembling with their legs.

In today's plan, only the complete elimination of these Tang heavy artillery is the only fundamental means to preserve this Fuzhou city.

Adali sighed, turned his head, and looked at his own trusted general next to him, Niu Lu Zhang Jingbayan, with a complicated look.

"Master。。。。。

Seeing that Adali wanted to speak and stopped, Bayan had an ominous premonition in his heart.

"Ba Yan, how do you treat the king of Japan?" Adali finally spoke softly.

Ba Yan's heart trembled, and he replied in a low voice: "Ba Yan was deeply favored by his master, and he was promoted all the way, so that he is above the crowd today. The grace of the master, although the slave has a grass ring, it cannot be repaid! ”

Adali sighed lightly, and said: "Bayan, I, Adali, now there is an extremely important matter, I want to arrange for you to do it, this matter is related to the safety of Fuzhou City, but I don't know, are you willing to help this king?" ”

When Bayan heard this, his heart sank, but his mouth was saying loudly: "Bayan has received the master's deep favor, and he has never been able to repay it, what do you want Bayan to do, please ask the master to command!" ”

Adali patted him on the shoulder heavily, and said in a trembling voice: "Bayan, this king wants you to lead all the four hundred cavalry in the city to highlight the south gate and kill those Tang gunners. Only by killing these gunners will this Fuzhou City not be destroyed by the heavy artillery of the Tang army like Lushun. ”

Adali paused, and tears appeared in his eyes: "It's just that the Tang army outside the city is extremely powerful, and if you go, even if you can kill the Tang army's gunners, I'm afraid that you will die in one life." Ba Yan, you can only be more careful when you go. ”

There were tears flashing in Ba Yan's eyes, but he still said loudly to Ada: "Ba Yan's whole family is cared for by the master, today is the time for Ba Yan to repay his kindness, if Ba Yan really dies in battle, I hope the master will take more care of my family." ”

Adali nodded heavily, and his voice was choked: "Don't worry, if you sacrifice, Ba Yan, your family, this king will definitely be more gracious, and the food, clothing, and monthly income are all above others." ”

Without further ado, Bayan bowed to Adaali, then turned around and walked down the wall.

Soon, Bayan ordered the four hundred elite horsemen in the city, put down the south gate drawbridge, opened the city gate, and rushed out of the city together.

As soon as the four hundred cavalry crossed the drawbridge, Ba Yan heard a bang behind him.

He subconsciously turned his head to look, but saw that the drawbridge was being pulled up by the soldiers at the head of the city, while the south gate was already tightly closed.

For a while, Ba Yan's heart was extremely bitter.

He knew that by doing this, Adali had decided to use him as an outcast, and as soon as he led his army out of the city, there was only one way to go by dying on the battlefield.

Perhaps, this is the fate of the minions.

Ba Yan gritted his teeth fiercely, and his eyes were already blood-red.

"Brothers, follow me, but kill those Tang Army gunners, the master of the county king will definitely not treat everyone badly!"

Bayan shouted loudly, then slammed the horse's belly and took the lead in rushing forward.

The cavalry let out a loud shout in unison, followed him closely, and rushed forward in unison.

When they were only about 300 paces away from that row of Tang artillery, a group of Qing cavalry scattered into a straight line, each of them was optimistic about the gunner in front of him, and he slammed the horse's belly more and more vigorously, and rushed forward quickly.

"Rush! Kill all these Nikans! ”

Ba Yan drew his riding knife and shouted loudly, like a black lightning, and rushed towards the panicked gunners not far ahead.

A group of Qing cavalry also roared loudly like a group of crazy beasts, and in the sound of rumbling horses' hooves, these Qing cavalry wielding swords and swords ran straight towards the Tang gunners on the opposite side.

What Ba Yan didn't expect was that when it seemed to be going well, an accident happened.

Ba Yan, who rushed forward quickly, saw that these Tang gunners were like a group of rabbits chased by eagles, turned around and fled behind, but behind them, a dense row of gunners appeared.

To be precise, it was two rows of musketeers, for one row stood and the other knelt upright, clad in a sizzling arquebus, and with loaded muskets in their hands, they quickly took aim.

Ba Yan's pupils suddenly contracted in horror.

Depend on! The Tang army even has firecrackers, now, our cavalry, which is scattered in a row, will not be completely the target of being beaten?!

Before Bayan could shout, on the Tang army on the opposite side, as a person who looked like a captain shouted, his subordinates waved the flag violently, and the two rows of firecrackers standing or kneeling, the two thousand firecrackers suddenly fired together.

"Bang bang 。。。。。"

There was a dense sound of popping beans, which sounded violently, and the embers that floated from the mouth of the bell formed two bright yellow and dazzling lines of fire, and a large area of choking and thick white mist surged, instantly turning the entire Tang army into a fairyland on earth.

Of the 2,000 firearms, 1,600 were fired, and the 1,600 small lead bullets weighing three coins formed a dense curtain of death rain, roaring towards the Qing cavalry that was rushing wildly.

A very small number of Tang troops with good eyesight and who were not disturbed by the white fog could clearly see that the whistling rain of lead bullets shot the Qing cavalry, or men or horses, that rushed on the opposite side.

At least nearly 300 Qing cavalry were shot, and the screams of the cavalry were mixed with the mournful screams of the horses, like the laughter of death. The cavalry of the Qing army turned on their backs, and the entire army formation fell into chaos and collapse in an instant.

There were five buckshots, which struck Ba Yan and his mount at the same time, and this Qing general, because of his distinctive and sophisticated armor and clothing, was like a magnet that firmly attracted the shot of lead bullets.

One buckshot hit him in the arm, two lead bullets in his chest, and two more lead bullets hit the horse's neck and legs, and Ba Yan and his mount fell to the ground as if they had been suddenly struck by an invisible sledgehammer.

Ba Yan fell to the ground, his helmet had long since rolled to where it had gone, and the body of the horse had completely flattened his body. And his eyes were wide open, and he didn't know if he saw at the moment of dying that a horse that was running wildly rushed over, and with a soft bang, his head was trampled like a watermelon.

The remaining cavalry of the Qing army, which was less than sixty horsemen, was full of fear, like headless flies, scurrying around. In addition to more than ten cavalrymen who escaped by chance, the other more than 40 cavalrymen, Li Xiao's escort cavalry, who were chased by the horses, were all killed and died in the suburbs.

At the south gate of Fuzhou City, Adali, who saw this tragic scene clearly with a clairvoyant mirror, felt a pain in his heart, like a knife.

Okay, this attack of his own cavalry, even a Tang army was not killed, and they were all wiped out outside Fuzhou City, damn it, this is not a battle at all, but a massacre.

And seeing the defeat of the attacking Qing army, a cold and smug smile flashed on the face of Li Xiao, the Duke of Tang Guo.

Immediately, he coldly ordered: "The cavalry of the Qing army has been extinguished, continue to attack the city with artillery." ”

"Order!"

With a shout from a person who looked like an officer, 70 steel dragon bombers with huge calibers immediately fired in unison.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

。。。。。。

In the huge cannon sound that shattered the eardrums, the muzzle of each heavy dragon cannon immediately floated a crimson afterburner, flashing a dazzling golden fire, and in the dense billowing white smoke, seventy huge black iron bullets weighing 32 pounds, with the whistle of death, slammed into the right side of the southern city wall of Fuzhou City.

In the dull and continuous sound of huge impact, these seventy jet-black 32-pound iron bullets, as if they had eyes, hit the city wall on the right side of the south side in an evenly distributed state.

On the right side of the city wall on the south side of the entire Fuzhou City, seventy 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 large city wall splashed and cracked, and a piece of dust and mist filled the city, and the entire southern city wall was trembling violently as if it had asthma.

On the city wall, 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 their noses, and the city wall under their feet shook violently like a pendulum, and there were nearly 100 Qing soldiers who stood unsteadily and the young men in the city, and they fell from the city wall screaming like broken leaves blown by the wind, and then fell into meat cakes.

In the face of such fierce violence and complete death, the struggle and resistance of human beings is almost a joke.

The Qing army on the right wall of the south immediately collapsed.

A large number of Qing soldiers and young men in the city who were shocked and bleeding from their mouths and noses screamed in horror, turned their heads and fled.

Their escape was so resolute and unstoppable that the guards of Adaali, who had rushed to stop them, rushed away in all directions, and the fleeing Qing army and young men rushed down from the city wall and horse road, wailing all the way.
