Chapter 381 for the dead ghost

As soon as the guard company came ashore and took over the position of the Franc Battalion, the mortar gunners quickly set up their guns, and within a few minutes the first mortar shells flew towards the city.

This first shot was a test firing, and the angle of fire was supposed to be corrected according to the impact point.

According to He Shouxin's order, their task was to knock out the Tartars' cannons one by one.

However, this opening cannon was crooked, and the effect was unexpectedly good.

Not only did they kill seven or eight Tartars with one shot, but even the governor Zhang Xuesheng and his cronies Wang Bangjun met with the king of Hades—the explosion point was too close to them.

Witnessing the bloody scene in front of them, the surrounding soldiers were terrified, and they scattered under the reflex, and the city was immediately in chaos.

The grizzled Zhao Guozuo stood stupidly in a daze, unable to shout a word.

He knew that the firearms of the captives were powerful, but he didn't expect it to be so powerful, this small-looking cannonball could not only explode on the ground, but also have such amazing lethality!

Great fear came over him like a tidal wave, and he didn't dare to fight anymore.

Seeing that all the camps outside the city were broken, Nantai Island was also in danger.

Although there are more than 10,000 soldiers in Fuzhou City, according to this situation, the city wall will be blown down sooner or later, and what is the use of more people trapped in the city, it is not all turtles in the urn!

"What should I do?"

Zhao Guozuo's mind was in chaos, he grabbed the battlements, looked at the Ming army below, and regretted it in his heart.

If I knew this, I only needed to be a few days earlier, and I could still escape by boat, even if it was ...... It's better to get out of the city and hide in the mountains than to sit back and die.

"Into the mountains?"

Zhao Guozuo's eyes suddenly lit up, and he subconsciously looked back at the mountains outside the city behind him......

At this time, there were repeated explosions, and a cannon happened to hit the powder keg next to a cannon, causing a chain of explosions, and the city was screaming again and again.

Zhao Guozuo suddenly made up his mind, and instantly made up his mind, but he roared again and again: "Steady!" Flee the battle! ”

Fuzhou City can't be saved, but where can't you hide in the mountains outside the city?

Although the attack of the Ming thieves was fierce, the number of them who came ashore was small, and it seemed that they were unable to besiege the city for a while, and if they could stop the collapse of the soldiers, they would stay until late at night and sneak out of the city with their own soldiers......

As long as you escape the pursuit of the thieves, and then wait for the opportunity to touch the seaside, why worry about not finding one or two ships to go to sea?

Once you flee back to the north, there is always an excuse to deal with your boss, even if you are punished a little, it is better than losing your life, right?

As for Zhang Xuesheng, if you die, you will die, if you die, you will not die in poverty, and you will just die without proof!

Thinking of this, Zhao Guozuo ran to the enemy tower and stopped a personal general: "Go, call Ma Degong to see the general." ”

Zhang Xuesheng has two cronies under him, that Wang Bangjun, who has accompanied Zhang Xuesheng to see the king of Hades, and there is still one Ma Degong left in the city.

Zhao Guozuo thought about it, in order to avoid hidden dangers, this person must not stay, it is better to let him be a substitute for the dead ghost, and send him back to heaven as soon as possible......

……

"General Ma, Lord Futai has been martyred, and General Wang is also ......"

As soon as Ma Degong entered the enemy tower, Zhao Guozuo sighed and said with a sad face, "Ben will be the master, his people will be under your control, Ben will order you to lead your troops to guard the city, and you must not let the thieves enter the city!" ”

"Lord Admiral?"

Ma Degong looked at the face of Zhao Guozuo, who was blackened by the smoke and fire, and only a pair of whites of his eyes were still alive, with a reluctant face.

Ma Degong is not stupid, Lord Futai just died, and you asked me to replace your people and defend the city to be bombed?

Isn't this murder by a knife?

"The general is hard,"

Zhao Guozuo squeezed out a dry smile and comforted, "You just need to hold on all night, and tomorrow morning, Ben will immediately order someone to replace your department...... The artillery fire of the thieves is fierce, and our various departments need to take turns to fight. ”

"The end will be obeyed, obeyed."

Ma Degong gritted his teeth and gave up his hand, hesitating to accept the order.

Immediately, he turned and retreated, beckoning his headquarters to go upstairs and be bombed.

His master died, and at this time, he was hard in front of the Admiral, and there was no good fruit for him to eat, but fortunately, he only had to hold on for one night, and he would not be wiped out.

It's better to sell it and take it for granted!

When Zhao Guozuo hurriedly left the city with his people, Ma Degong shouted loudly for his subordinates to take their places, and then looked down at the city......

Three miles away, although there were only a few small cannons of the Ming thief, the bombardment was faster than one round, and the whistling cannons continued to explode at the head of the city, and the miserable shouts on the city tower were endless.

What frightened Ma Degong the most was that the small cannons that the Ming thief had never seen before were full of evil energy.

The cannon did not look impressive, and the enemy soldiers who operated the cannon were only a few people, but although they were three or four miles away, the cannon sent out seemed to have eyes, and came straight to the gun position at the head of the city.

"Hiss......"

Ma Degong gasped and muttered to himself, "Why is the artillery so far?" ”

Where they were, the cannons at the head of the city were out of reach, but their own artillery positions were hit one after another, and fewer and fewer could be fired.

Ma Degong sighed, this is a fart!

However, Ma Degong always felt that something was not right, so he settled down and continued to observe, and finally found something strange.

This gang of thieves just blindly bombarded, but a few groups of foot soldiers stopped far away, and they were not in a hurry to launch an attack on the city......

All right!

As long as you don't climb up, Lao Tzu will fight to kill a few more people, and he will survive until tomorrow.

Thinking of this, Ma Degong's expression perked up, and he shouted loudly to the soldiers around him, ordering them to go to the warehouse in the city to get spare cannons and ammunition, and prepare to fight a war of attrition.

……

The city is booming, and in the city of Fuzhou, the people who are listening to the movement have already been in a commotion, and the streets and alleys are secretly discussing......

"Eh, you are well-informed, and the cannon at the head of the city is fierce, what is the war?"

In a teahouse, a down-and-out scholar-like man asked.

"I don't know? The king of Yanping led his army to counterattack and crusade against the Tartars. ”

A merchant-like tea merchant answered in a low voice.

"Really?"

The scholar was surprised, "That'...... Does anyone know how the war is going? ”

"I don't know this, I think it's going to be a month."

The merchant replied.

Fuzhou City has changed hands several times, and the local people have long been surprised, but it is not unusual for the guards to not surrender, and the fierce battle for ten days and a half is not unusual.

"Even a ...... month"

Another young voice answered, "Don't you know, the king who came this time is not only the king of Yanping...... I heard that there are also captive troops directly sent by the imperial court. ”

"Capture the army? Isn't it the one who captured King Pingnan alive...... What Hou's subordinates? ”

"No, that's the Marquis of Qinchuan, the Marquis of Qinchuan's army is so evil, it is said that their cannons can bombard half of the city tower with one cannon......"

As soon as this remark came out, it immediately caused exclamations on the side, and some people immediately doubted the letter: "Fugui, is this true?" ”

"Seriously, my cousin who was in the governor's yamen gang told me ...... himself."

The young man named Fugui said proudly, "I see, in a few days, the whole city of Tartars will be destroyed." ”

"How fast?"

"That's right, Fugui, you're making it up, aren't you?"

As soon as Fugui's words came out, everyone was in a commotion, and questions continued......
