Hearing Li Shutai at the head of the city scolding himself like this, Karamu unconsciously blushed, and his heart suddenly had an unspeakable feeling.

Now Karamu is already wearing Hanfu, wearing Han clothes, growing Han hair, and speaking Chinese very fluently, at a glance, there is no difference from an ordinary Han person. Moreover, since he surrendered to Li Xiao, he has married a wife and had children in Shandong and settled down, so in Karamu's heart, he has long regarded himself as a Han Chinese, and his feelings for the tribe from which he was born are very indifferent.

Karamu's stiff smile disappeared, and a ruthless flash flashed on his face, he raised his head and replied loudly at Li Shutai, who was scolding himself: "You are so rude, how dare you speak so wildly!" Who are you, and do you dare to report your name? “

Li Shutai sneered, and immediately replied: "Karamu, your dog's ears have heard clearly, Lao Tzuxing will not change his name, he will not change his surname, the Qing Dynasty will be attached, and the second-class Meler Zhangjing Li Shutai is also!" “

Karamu was slightly stunned, and then replied with a sneer: "Yo, who should I be, it turned out to be Li Efu." However, the envoy was thinking, your father Li Yongfang was still judging the situation back then, and knew that when Fushun City could not be defended, he hurriedly surrendered to the old slave to save his life, why did you, who was a son, have no eyesight at all? Could it really be that weasels give birth, and a litter is not as good as a litter? ”

When Karamu said this, the two guards behind him burst out laughing, and the Qing soldiers at the head of the city couldn't help but laugh when they heard this, but when they caught a glimpse of Li Shutai's angry face, they could only hold back their laughter.

Seeing Karamu sarcastically mocking himself like this, revealing the ugly things between himself and his father in public, Li Shutai was almost angry in his heart, and his teeth were gritted loudly, but before he had time to attack, Karamu's voice sounded coldly again: "Li Shutai, you thief, listen up!" Now, you have few troops, trapped in a lonely city, and surrounded by our army like an iron bucket, there is no possibility of escape! In such a mortal realm, you are still so hard-mouthed and pretending, which is really stupid. I came here with good intentions to persuade you to surrender in time, so as to save a life, you are good, and the fucking dog bites Lu Dongbin, I don't know the hearts of good people! Come on, the envoy is too lazy to say anything, just wait for the neck to die! It's just that the envoy still wants to say one more thing, and when the butcher's knife falls, you don't have to regret it! “

When Karamu said this, he smiled coldly again, then pulled out his horse and turned around, and left with the two guards behind him.

At this time, Li Shutai, who was standing at the head of the city, saw Karamu leaving, and his face was still heavy and tense. And Tun Qika next to him, but his face was very complicated, he turned his head to look at Li Shutai, wanting to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.

Li Shutai knew that the expression of Tun Qika was actually just that this person's heart had already begun to move, but because of his own power, he didn't dare to say what he really thought in his heart.

Alas, it's a pity that although this person is full of people, he didn't expect to be so cowardly and afraid of death, which is really lamentable. Perhaps, it is really only at a critical moment that we can see each person's true colors.

So, is the current self really going to surrender to the Tang Army?

After this thought came to Li Shutai's heart, he shuddered violently, and immediately denied his own cowardly and contemptible thought in his heart.

No, everyone else can descend to Li Xiao, but I can't do it alone. After all, as a great Qing Dynasty, his wife and children are all under the control of Dolgon, if he surrenders Li Xiao, even though he may save a life, but his wife and children in Liaoyang are afraid that they will all be poisoned by Dolgon.

Li Shutai was sad in his heart, but his face was still self-reliant, and finally he shouted coldly: "Tun Qika, don't listen to Karamu's nonsense, you and I are so good to guard Yaozhou City, don't be self-defeating." “

Tun Qika replied in a low voice, and then stationed separately with Li Shutai. Li Shutai led the Han army of his headquarters to guard the west gate that would be bombarded by the heavy artillery of the Tang army, while Tunqika was the north gate of the Tang army's siege but not attack.

Karamu returned to his main camp and immediately reported to Li Xiaoyu: "King Yuping Liao, in this Yaozhou city, the lord will be the current Qing court attached to Li Shutai, although this person is trapped in the ground, but his attitude is stubborn, he refuses to surrender, you see, my lord......"

"Well, this king knows, you can step down." Li Xiao was expressionless and waved his hand at him.

Karamu answered, and then retreated. After he stepped back, a smile crossed Li Xiao's face.

Li Xiao understands Li Shutai's desperate refusal to surrender, because he knows that this Li Shutai, because his wife and children are under the control of Dolgon, so whether he surrenders or not, it is a dilemma, so I will help him get rid of it. After Karamu returned to the main formation, Li Shutai, who was standing in the West Gate Tower, finally saw clearly, and when he slowly pushed the front and rear rows of as many as 130 silver-gray steel cannons from a distance, his face turned pale in an instant.

He saw that these Tang Army artillery pieces were so huge in size and caliber, but they were much larger than the largest Hongyi cannon he had ever seen before. He immediately thought in fear in his heart, these Tang Army artillery are so majestic and huge, and their true power is probably much stronger than the previous Hongyi artillery.

If so, wasn't it wrong from the beginning to defend the city?

An unprecedented panic surged uncontrollably through his heart.

Soon, Li Shutai saw that the Tang army concentrated all the 130 heavy steel cannons with huge muzzles on the right side of the west wall of Yaozhou City. Then, he clearly saw that these Tang gunners began to be extremely skillful, loading gunpowder on the spot, measuring the spacing with a gun gauge, and adjusting the shè angle.

What kind of fame are these doggy Tang Army gunners?

Li Shutai is also a veteran of the battlefield, and he knows that in this late Ming Dynasty, even the most powerful new Hongyi cannon has an accurate range of about 600 meters, and now, these Tang troops actually began to load gunpowder, stuff iron bullets, and adjust the angle at a distance of nearly 800 meters. Or is it because these Tang troops are just intimidating the attack that they plan to do this outside the artillery process?

Of course, Li Shutai didn't know, in fact, the current Tang army gunners only approached to attack when they saw that the artillery at the head of their city had been thrown, because the normal attack distance of the Tang army's heavy dragon artillery was 1,000 meters away, and if he was lucky enough to see the Tang army attack Jinzhou, he would definitely drop his jaw.

At this time, there was always a sharp whistle from the artillery in front of him, which interrupted Li Shutai's myth, and he suddenly saw that in the artillery array of the Tang Army, a huge red flag was suddenly raised high.

Li Shutai's heart tightened suddenly, of course he understood that this was the artillery always signaling to Li Xiao, indicating that all the artillery pieces were ready and ready to bombard.

Li Xiao, who was behind the formation, looked around at the various artillery pieces hiding under the improvised snow shelter, all of them were ready, and when he was waiting for his own order, a satisfied smile flashed on his face, but his expression became more and more resolute.

Li Xiao took a deep breath, raised his right hand high, and then swung it down vigorously.

"Ready!"

"Put!"

Seeing the order of the supreme commander, a person who looked like an officer in the artillery shouted violently, and nearly 70 steel dragon guns with huge calibers immediately fired in unison.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

。。。。。。

In the huge cannon sound that shattered the eardrums, the muzzle of almost every heavy dragon cannon immediately floated crimson afterburners, flashing with dazzling golden fire, in the dense billowing white smoke, only six cannons did not fire because of the cháo, more than 60 jet-black huge black iron bullets weighing 24 to 32 catties, with the howling sound of death, through the layers of snowflakes flying and falling, towards the east city wall on the left side of Yaozhou City, slammed into it.

Originally, the current Tang Army's standard artillery all uses heavy steel dragon bombers with the largest caliber of 32 kilograms, but Li Xiao considered that the artillery that fired 24 kilograms of ammunition used in the early experiments also needed to be used or consumed on the battlefield, so he brought them all in this battle against the Qing Dynasty.

What worried Li Xiao finally happened.

In addition to the six guns that did not fire because they were affected by the cháo, three guns exploded on the spot because the inner chamber was in the snow.

The dazzling golden fire flashed, and three dull and loud explosions made the whole ground tremble, and the flying artillery fragments, like snowflakes in the air, flew everywhere, and as long as the gunners were hit by them, they were either dead or maimed. A continuous and small scream quickly spread through the snow curtain in all directions.

Artillery Commander Wang Laozhuan saw with his own eyes that a heavy dragon cannon next to him that fired 32 catties of cannonballs was torn apart with a muffled sound, and the two gunners closest to him were immediately torn to pieces on the spot by the huge shock wave, and their flesh and blood flew sideways, and they didn't even have time to make a sound. As for the other gunners, almost all of them were wounded, or their limbs were torn, or their stomachs and intestines were bursting, and they looked horribly miserable, and they rolled on the ground and wailed, which made people feel palpitations. However, immediately an auxiliary soldier hurried up and hurriedly took them off the battlefield.

At this time, there was a soft snap, and Wang Laozhuan suddenly found that there was a hot and moist thing on his face. He subconsciously wiped it with his hand, only to realize that it was a large intestine of a human being. And the fecal water splashed on the face, quickly more than ten degrees below zero, frozen into ice slag on the face.

Wang Laoshuan's tears suddenly couldn't be suppressed from filling his eyes, and he couldn't hold back the tears from flowing.

It's just that he was inexplicably sad and sad in his heart, so he didn't dare to take a break, and immediately shouted an order, asking his subordinates to prepare for clearing their chambers as soon as possible in order to put down a shell.

At this time, the voice of Hu Ben, the chief of artillery, sounded coldly: "The gunners of the breeched artillery retreat, and the reserve artillery will fill the position and prepare for the next round of shè attacks." ”

Li Xiao, who was in the back of the battle, saw this tragic scene with his own eyes, and his heart was also sad. However, there was no expression on his face, as if he was turning a blind eye to such a tragedy.

Ci is not in charge of the army, in the cruel and bloody battlefield, sacrifice and loss are a common thing in soldiers, how can there be so much time to be sad. After all, for the current Tang Army, the only thing they have to consider is how to take Yaozhou as soon as possible without remembering the price. For this goal, even if he pays a greater price and sacrifice, Li Xiao will not hesitate.

What pleased Li Xiao was that this first round of blows still achieved very good results.

In the dull and continuous sound of huge impact, these more than 60 black iron bullets, large and small, as if they had eyes, hit the city wall on the right side of the west side of Yaozhou City fiercely in an evenly distributed state.

On the right side of the city wall on the west side of the entire Yaozhou City, more than fifty big holes appeared in an instant, and at the edge of each big hole, the thick and cracked lines were as dense as a spider web, spreading unscrupulously to the siege, and a large piece of city wall bricks splashed and cracked, and the snow and dust on the city wall splashed everywhere together, and the entire west side of the city wall on the right side 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 nearly 100 Qing soldiers who stood unsteadily on their feet fell from the city wall screaming like broken leaves blown by the wind, and then fell into meat pies.

The Tang army's fierce heavy artillery this time actually caused the city wall on the right side of the west side of Yaozhou City to fall into a big chaos in an instant.

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

"Don't run! Come back to Lao Tzu and continue to defend the city wall! Those who violate military orders will be killed! ”

Impacted by the surging sand and dust waves, covered in snow foam and dust and mud, Li Shutai, who had a loose beard, looked like he had rolled in the snow, and his appearance was extremely embarrassed. He coughed violently, stood up against the battlements of the city wall, and roared at the fleeing Qing troops.

It's just that in this mess, although he shouted hoarsely, it didn't have much effect, a Qing soldier who had been shocked to the point of deafness in both ears ran past Li Shutai with a wail, and he didn't hear the Jǐng complaint of the supreme commander of the Qing army at all.

Seeing this, Li Shutai was unconsciously angry and angry, he brushed the ground and drew a sharp sword, stabbed it fiercely, and stabbed the fleeing guy from the back to the chest, stabbing a big hole, the fleeing Qing soldier, his body shook a little, and he fell to the ground and died.

Finally, after Li Shutai and his guards slashed and killed seven or eight people one after another, these beaten Qing troops re-stabilized, and the situation on the right side of the city wall on the west side was slightly stabilized.

At this time, the gunners of the Tang Army, who had just finished the first round of Qi shè, were already clearing, charging, and reloading their ammunition in preparation for the next round of shè attacks.

"It's all there, now it's snowing heavily, and the artillery is subject to cháo, so be sure to dry it carefully to prevent the snow from leaking, so as not to sound or explode." The words of Hu Ben, the commander-in-chief of artillery, sounded sharply in the ears of every gunner.

Hu Ben's reminder is very necessary, after all, in such a snowy weather, although there is a snow shelter to block, but the artillery is still very vulnerable to cháo and water. Therefore, it is important to carefully clean the bore to keep it clean and dry, even if it is slower to reload.

After nearly eight minutes of preparation, the Ming artillery commander raised the red flag in his hand again.

"Ready!"

"Put!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"
