Yang Hongzhang was speechless, he really didn't know what to say. Xiang Siwen's thoughts and worries are also right, whether Yang Sichang is tempting or really asking for help, he and Xiang Siwen will be injured by Sun Chengzong's brand. But how to deal with those Gaoyang refugees who helped and abused at the North Gate did give Yang Hongzhang a headache.

He finally lost his patience, and he finally realized the pain that Hauge and Aobai besieged Gaoyang for three days but couldn't take it. In the past few days, he has people harassing the river day and night, constantly sending troops to live in the vicinity, and prisoners to come to the river to clear mines and dig cement piers. But as soon as the Qing army came within range of the flintlock pistol, the defenders of Hejian were not at all polite. At the end of three days, it cost nearly 200 people. And after the departure of the southern Duoduo, he could no longer be contacted. Suppilon decided that if he could no longer take the river, it would no longer be a matter of competing with Dordor for the credit, but he might lose his command. Therefore, after a night of preparation and mobilization, Kupilon decided to attack the city with 5,000 men on the second day!

After driving hundreds of refugees back into the Dunzi Formation to make sure that there were no mines, Suppilon ignored the scattered refugees and ordered an all-out siege of the city. On the central avenue directly opposite the city gate were cavalry, and on both sides were dismounted and on foot, thousands of people entered the dun formation in an orderly manner, and then bent bows and arrows in an attempt to suppress the muskets of the Ming army with an absolute number. At the forefront were the elite armor soldiers who were heavily armoured, including all of Suppilon's own soldiers, who were sent to the front.

Seeing the Qing army fighting like this, those people in the river beat drums in their hearts and kept looking at their prefect and Yang Hongzhang with their eyes. Xiang Siwen was like a different person after losing the city of Hejian for the first time, and at such a critical moment, he always appeared on the city wall with his son, and the posture of vowing to coexist with the city greatly boosted morale. Yang Hongzhang couldn't guess what he was thinking, anyway, as long as it wasn't like Wang Lenian.

Instead of scattering the men and horses and attacking the city in several directions at the same time, but concentrated in the middle of the north gate Yang Hongzhang was under his arms, and nearly a thousand people entered the cement pier formation, most of them followed Yang Hongzhang finally came up with his killer weapon, which was originally used to deal with the artillery of the right army of the Qing army in Nancheng, and the salvo of 12 cannons was earth-shattering!

Boom, boom, boom...... More than a dozen 30 pounds of red-hot lead bullets smashed into the Qing army, first knocked down the first person in front, and then continued to move forward, bouncing to the ground, continuing to move forward, and when it finally stopped, the road had fallen down!

"Adjust the range, change the bullets, target the cavalry behind the pier!" Seeing the effect of the artillery, Yang Hongzhang knew that he had to beat Curb Pilon to pain!

Boom, boom, boom! The effect of replacing the flowering bullet saw that Xiang Siwen and the others were dumbfounded, only to see more than a dozen shells fall into the Qing cavalry team, and then explode, the effect is that blood is splashed, the Qing cavalry crying father and mother's miserable howl and the panicked flight of the war horse, with the center of the circle where the cannonball fell, and suddenly it was a mess.

"Raise the muzzle and keep the shells open! Flintlock pistols, salvos! "Two rounds of artillery shells down, the neat queue of the Qing army was cut a gap by force, or the Qing army that entered the pier array was completely suppressed by the throwing of goods, and it was the time when the flintlock salvo was at its most powerful!

Xiang Siwen had never seen Yang Hongzhang's first two massacres of the Qing army, but he had seen the Gaoyang City Defense, and at that time he felt that Yang Hongzhang's team had infinite flintlock pistols, and the city defense would definitely be able to play extraordinarily, and then he saw Yang Hongzhang leading 600 people to pursue Haoge and Aobai. But now he realized that today's Yang Hongzhang was the most lethal. He was also glad that he hadn't given up early. Looking at this battle, the Qing army outside the city was already in chaos, and those Qing soldiers who entered the Dunzi Formation could only wait for death. Those cavalry who did not go down also suffered heavy losses!

Boom, boom, boom! Bang bang bang! Yang Hongzhang was not stingy this time, he was in order to kill and injure the Qing army outside the city to the greatest extent, and also to cheer up the defenders and people in the city. It's just that he took pity on Curb Pilon, and finally suppressed the resistance of the two Yellow Banner soldiers, and persuaded everyone to launch a fierce attack on the river regardless of the life and death of Hauge and Yue Tuo, but the result was that the city wall of the river was smashed to pieces before they could touch it.

At least a dozen cannons, six or seven hundred flintlock muskets, how could this be the mere two hundred musketeers that Hauge's subordinates were talking about? Since the artillery of the defenders was not estimated, just to guard against muskets, a large number of Qing troops entered the range of artillery, and after Yang Hongzhang used flowering shells, the cavalry ranks were completely confused. It is equivalent to the Qing soldiers who entered the cement pier are actually already in the range of the flintlock pistol, but there is usually the problem of the cover of the cement pier plus armor protection plus the hit rate, and dozens of people are lost every day in the past few days. But today, after a divine operation, no less than 100 people were trampled to death by rushing into the cement pier. After the confusion of the team, the cover of the concrete piers was completely abandoned, and some of them even ran across the line and rushed horizontally into those places where there was no demining, and the result was naturally a whimper. The 12 cannons were first aimed at the cavalry outside the cement piers, and then gradually raised the muzzles, all of which were used in naval warfare, with a range of two or three miles, and there was no problem with the hit rate. That is to say, almost the distance of the three cement pier formations is within the coverage of the artillery, and by the time the Suppression Pilon led the people to completely escape the range of the artillery, the casualties have exceeded a thousand! The rest also became frightened birds. The most fatal thing is the casualties, but the elite he brought from Baoding, most of the subordinates who used to be Haoge hid behind to watch the excitement.

And since the Qing army began to retreat, thousands of people on the city wall finally had a place to use, they shouted the trumpet taught to them by Yang Hongzhang in the past few days, and thousands of people shouted in unison: "Kill, kill, kill!" "Short and powerful, not simply repetitive, the loud sound combined with the sound of artillery salvos shook the sky, greatly shocked the enemy, and at the same time greatly inspired himself.

Suppilon did not understand where the artillery of the Ming army came from, and that it was so powerful and had such a long range? It is even more powerful than the red-coated cannons captured by the Qing army. When Yue Tuo took the river, he informed Dorgon! How could such important information be missed? In fact, not only did he not understand it, but even Xiang Siwen, who had been standing next to Yang Hongzhang, was completely shocked. Xiang Yunfang opened his mouth and looked forward, as if he wanted to see how far these cannons could hit. It wasn't until the scout standing on the hot air balloon put down the news that everyone reacted, it turned out that the Qing army had already gone away, and had retreated for at least more than 20 miles!

Obviously, Suppilon was worried about the cavalry in Hejian City taking advantage of the chaos to attack, and this is how Hauge and Aobai were captured in the chaos in the first place.

After the retreat of the Kupilon people, the city of Hejian miraculously ushered in the imperial envoy, this time on behalf of the imperial court came to the eunuch Gao Keng, Gao Keng had already arrived nearby, in the knowledge that Gaoyang was occupied by the Qing army, thousands of people besieged the river when he was directly frightened and hid in Baiyangdian. Because unlike the first time, this time he had another task in addition to announcing the holy decree of the imperial court, that is, to serve as the supervisor of the Hejian garrison. In order to prevent the matter of Gao Yang from being staged in the river again, the imperial court decided to send Gao Keng, a red man from the emperor's side, to supervise the army, so that he could make a decision at a critical moment. It's just that Gao Keng is timid by nature, the last time was to welcome Sun Chengzong into the court, of course he was happy, this time it was an errand that he didn't know if he could go back alive, he naturally didn't want to enter Hejian City so early. This is why Yang Sichang, who set off later, arrived in Jinan and fought a few battles with Duoduo, but Gaokeng had not yet reached the river. This also gave Gao Keng a chance to see the power of Yang Jiajun again. When the afterglow of the setting sun fell on the dark red carcasses of the centaurs, the atmosphere was particularly solemn. Outside the north gate of Hejian was already full of corpses, including Gaoyang refugees, Qing soldiers, and war horses, in short, as the victors, these were the spoils of war. After Gao Keng read the holy decree, he immediately saw the half-dead Haoge and Yue Tuo, who was losing weight because of the hunger strike, although Gao Keng didn't know the two, but the other party's bearing would definitely not be a small person. This made Gao Keng's heart happy, because this reward from the imperial court was aimed at Gao Yang's victory. The merits of the captives Hauge and Yue Tuo will be reported in the future, and he will also have a share of the high pit. And Yang Hongzhang and Xiang Siwen obviously have dealt with the results of the past few days, which can be regarded as a meeting gift to Gao Keng.

When he heard Xiang Siwen talk about Yang Sichang's request for help, Gao Keng also sneered, he had seen the scene of Yang Sichang targeting Sun Chengzong and Yang Hongzhang in the court. Therefore, Wang Lenian was even more angry at leading Gaoyang refugees or surrendering people to attack Hejian City, and repeatedly said that he would write a chapter to impeach Yang Sichang.

At this moment, Yang Sichang was also very depressed, originally wanted to seize Yang Hongzhang's pigtail and force his recommender Sun Chengzong to go out to supervise the army, but Yang Hongzhang made a big fuss with Sun Monkey Gao Yang not to mention that he actually captured Haoge and Yue Tuo, so that Sun Chengzong's position was as stable as Mount Tai, originally wanted to use Yang Hongzhang's successful defense of the river to make the emperor determined to counterattack, and replace Lu Xiangsheng with Sun Chengzong, but the emperor came to push the boat smoothly, and used him as a cabinet scholar, the governor of the military department Shangshu Shandong Zhili, In addition to Lu Xiangsheng's Baoding treatment, there is Yang Hongzhang, a monkey, Lu Xiangsheng is the governor of the Tianzi Sword, and he is bored with himself. As for Hejian, only six or seven hundred people are trapped in the small city of projectiles, he Yang Sichang does not want to stand under the dangerous wall, and he can only go to Shandong to prepare troops and horses first, hoping that when the Qing army and Lu Xiangsheng are defeated, he will go out to clean up the mess.

The arrival of Gao Keng can be regarded as a good knock to make up for the lack of Yang Hongzhang and others' requests.
