When Li Dingguo saw that two gaps with a width of 5 meters were suddenly blown up at the two fort walls in the north and south, his heart suddenly went blank.

The inner city wall, which was desperately guarded, was finally blown up by the Qing army at any cost to open two huge gaps, which led to Li Dingguo's anti-annexed siege plan to snipe the Qing army, which was completely in vain.

The current inner city guards have reached a very serious moment. What to do? Now that the city wall has appeared in a huge gap, the difficulty of trying to block the Qing army's attack will increase geometrically.

Moreover, now the Tang army has a total of less than 7,000 soldiers and horses, basically all of them are long-range troops and auxiliary forces, and it is almost unimaginable to rely on such a small number of troops to deal with the bloodthirsty and fierce Qing army with more than 80,000 people outside the city, and to hold the inner city wall that has been opened with a huge gap, and not to let the Qing army break into the city, its difficulty is almost unimaginable, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a hell level.

It's just that the current Li Dingguo, can he have any other choice? After thinking for a while, he quickly ordered: "Pass on the order of our army, the whole army quickly retreats to the city, erects barricades at the gap to block the gap, and organizes defense on the spot." Crossbowmen in front, auxiliaries in the back, make sure you don't let the enemy enter the inner city! ”

"Order!

Under Li Dingguo's order, he immediately saw that the remaining Qing army chariots were all abandoned by the Qing army, and those Qing troops with excavation tools were retreating as fast as possible. Outside the city wall, Li Dingguo could see from a distance that there were almost boundless Qing soldiers and horses, with overwhelming momentum, were rapidly rushing to the north and south of the city wall gaps, the rampant momentum of the Qing army, as if it was an endless turbulent wave, to swallow this small Vladivostok Fort inner city, one bite of the general. The situation in the inner city of Vladivostok Fort can be described as extremely dangerous. Taking advantage of the time when the Qing army was rushing over, the Tang army urgently made defensive preparations. They piled up the crumbling rubble and bricks in an urgent manner at the breach, while filling up all the heavy objects in the inner city behind the breach. Although everyone knows that such an emergency deployment is likely to be of very limited significance, but in such an emergency situation now, how can you think too much about being able to resist a moment, after all, such a method can be said to be a way out of the way. And soon, Li Dingguo saw from a distance that the Huang Taiji, who was originally stationed outside the city, together with the golden imperial chariot, was carried onto the west city wall by a group of white-toothed soldiers. The emperor of the Qing Dynasty sat on the city wall in this way, and watched from a distance the Qing army's large-scale attack on the inner city of Vladivostok Fort by the height of the city wall. Li Dingguo quickly thought that Huang Taiji's move must be to greatly boost the morale of the Qing army soldiers and horses who were attacking the city on a large scale, so that these guys could attack the city even more desperately under their own noses. After all, with the emperor personally supervising the formation, could there be a more effective measure to supervise the formation? His approach quickly yielded good results. The Qing troops who were attacking the inner city in a big way, seeing that the emperor of the Great Qing Dynasty were personally sitting at the head of the city, supervising the battle with a very close overlooking attitude, immediately felt even more inspired, and everyone became more and more courageous, they let out a howl like wild beasts, and they accelerated their pace and rushed towards the gap in the inner city. And the commander of the Qing army, the smug Dolgon, saw that his army was so high-spirited, and his heart was very happy, and he said loudly: "Sons! Let's storm into the city and kill all those damned Tang troops! This king tells you, but those who enter the city first will get the first credit! Now even the emperor is supervising the battle at the head of the city, how can you not move forward bravely and seize the fame and wealth, I hope you will work hard to get it! With the vigorous encouragement of the generals of the unified army, the Qing troops who were attacking the city were even more motivated, and their courage was extraordinary, and many of them were red with excitement, and their eyes flashed like greedy wolves.

Like a frenzied beast, they rolled up all the way to the breach in the inner city of Vladivostok, and launched a stormy attack.

Seeing the Qing army attacking the city coming from all directions, when it was like a tide, the deputy general Zu Kuan gritted his teeth and shouted in a deep voice: "The Qing captives have come to attack the city, all the crossbowmen pay attention and prepare!" "One by one, the crossbowmen of the Tang Army were firmly held in their hands, and the squeaky strings came and went, and behind the temporarily built retaining wall, a large number of crossbowmen responded calmly and aimed at the objects they wanted to shoot.

While waiting for the Qing army to rush to the attack distance, Tan Sangou, the crossbow sentry commander of the Tang army, swallowed saliva one after another, and his legs were still trembling slightly.

His face, although he tried to remain calm, was full of muscles, but the muscles on his face kept trembling. A voice, like a magic sound piercing his brain, kept flashing in his head: "Tan Sangou, this Qing army is so powerful, our army's city defense has been broken, and the soldiers are outnumbered, can this inner city of Vladivostok Fort really be defended?" However, at this moment, another voice refuted him loudly in his head: "Bastard! As a soldier, you are so greedy for life and afraid of death, and you are cowardly before you fight! Isn't it a great shame that you, as a crossbow sentry, can't lead by example, but hesitate and fear the enemy? Even the entire South Seas have been conquered, so can you bow your knees to these beast-like Qing troops here? For the dignity and glory of the Tang Army, even if you fight to the death, what is the pity! Thinking of this, Tan Sangou scolded himself fiercely in his heart, and then took the crossbow arrow in his hand and aimed more and more intently.

When the Qing army rushed to a distance of one hundred and twenty paces away from him, Zu Kuan couldn't hold it anymore and shouted: "Release!" "It is said that the best attack distance of the crossbow arrow is about sixty paces, and now when the distance is nearly twice as long, Zu Kuan ordered it to be released, the reason is that one is to see that the Qing army is very dense, which is very conducive to long-range shooting, and the other is also an inexplicable fear in my heart, thinking that if I can shoot in advance, I can kill and injure some more enemy soldiers.

As soon as Zu Kuan's words fell, the sound of continuous crossbow arrows sounded in all directions.

"Whoosh! ...... "In the continuous sound of the strings, the continuous crossbow arrows were fired from one after another from the crossbows, and on this gloomy afternoon, the highly poisonous crossbow arrows were like swarms of flying locusts released from the hands of the god of death, and they flew rapidly with a buzz, forming a dense web of death.

Immediately, as many as more than 10,000 poisonous crossbow arrows roared out towards the Qing troops who rushed towards them, seemingly unsuspected.

"Puff puff puff ......" With the faint muffled sound of crossbow arrows shooting into the human body, a scream that does not seem to be like a human voice rises continuously, making people feel palpitations.

Shot by these crossbow arrows that have been quenched by the Tang Army, they are certain to die, and these crossbow arrows soaked in blood and throat toxin, even if they only hit their hands and feet and other non-vital parts, the poison quickly spread throughout the body, making them black and die all over their bodies.

What made Li Dingguo and Zu Kuan feel worried was that under this sharp blow, the number of casualties of the Qing army was limited, about five or six hundred, and the number of deaths under the crossbow arrows fired away was far less than they expected.

This is because, first, because the distance is too far, the crossbow arrows are blown crooked by the cold wind along the way, resulting in a greatly reduced attack power.

The second is that those Qing troops who are surging in, they seem to have expected that the Tang army defending the city will come to this hand, the Qing army in the front row has held shields to cover, one by one inspired crossbow arrows, most of them are shot on the shields of the Qing army, so they cannot cause fatal damage to these Qing troops who charge into battle.

In order to try to take the inner city of Vladivostok Fort as soon as possible, the Qing soldiers who fell to the ground after being hit by crossbow arrows did not stop to rescue them, and the Qing army, who had already fallen into a state of madness, trampled their corpses and the Qing army who were not yet dead alive, and then continued to rush towards the gap in the inner city.

Seeing that the losses of the Qing army were limited, and seeing that they continued to attack frantically as if they had lost their minds, the deputy general Zu Kuan was also frightened, he gritted his teeth fiercely, scolded an extremely ugly swearing, and then turned his head and shouted to the crossbowmen of the Tang Army who were constantly loading new crossbow arrows: "Into the damn, get ready quickly, don't stop, keep shooting!" When the Qing army rushed to a distance of about eighty steps from the inner city wall, Zu Kuan shouted again: "Release!" ”

"Whoosh! ......" another round of crossbow arrows whistled out, shooting towards the Qing soldiers who were getting closer and closer.

"Puff puff puff ......" screams continued again, and the Qing soldiers who were surging frantically were fired by this round of crossbowmen, and at least seven or eight hundred people were killed.

Unexpectedly, the closer these attacking Qing troops got to the inner city, the more they were in a state of madness to the point of exhaustion, and while they used their shields to block the crossbow arrows fired by the Tang army, they did not stop the pace of attack, and still roared and rushed forward.

Seeing that the offensive momentum of the Qing army was so fierce and unstoppable, Li Dingguo's heart was extremely entangled and nervous.

What to do? The momentum of the Qing army's offensive was so fierce that if he could not take measures in time, Li Dingguo could be sure that in such a situation where the enemy was outnumbered, the city defense had been broken and there were no reinforcements outside, the inner city was captured by the Qing army, and all the defenders were destroyed, I am afraid that it would only be a matter of time.

Li Dingguo, who was extremely confused in his heart, saw from afar that on the city wall of the West Gate in the distance, the golden dragon flag of the Emperor Taiji was being planted high above the city.

It can be faintly seen that a fat man in a bright yellow dragon robe is sitting on a tiger head chair, and above him, a golden silk umbrella is fluttering in the wind.

Li Dingguo can imagine how proud Huang Taiji, who is now sitting at the head of the city watching the battle.

Yes, the Tang army is already exhausted, and his own army is so vigorous, this inner city of Vladivostok is almost like a snail pinched by three fingers, and there is no problem at all, how can he be unhappy when he sees such a state of almost one-sided situation.

Li Dingguo stared at Huang Taiji sitting on the west city wall for a long time, as if he could see in his heart that Huang Taiji's face was full of joy.

"Li Dingguo, you don't know how to raise your face, you have to fight our army to the end, and you are really to blame yourself for the current situation. Now, I'm going to let you have a good taste of our army's iron fist, what it's like! Huang Taiji in his heart, with a triumphant look, shouted at Li Dingguo.

Li Dingguo's heart suddenly swelled with indescribable pain. Although he has never been afraid of death, he really has to face this inextricable death, and his heart still hurts like a knife.

You must know that these Tang Army brothers, who were still fighting bloody battles, followed themselves to conquer the entire South Seas, from Taiwan to Australia, and they can be described as having outstanding achievements in war.

It's just that such a heroic army of southern conquest and northern war is really going to completely disappear in this cold land in the extreme north, in this ice and snow?

No, don't! Li Dingguo's steel teeth clenched, and he was unwilling, and in his heart, it can be said that there were 10,000 unwillingness.

It's just that there is nothing else I can do about myself now? Li Dingguo stared at the Emperor Taiji on the western city wall for a long time, and at this moment, a very bold idea suddenly surged in his heart like lightning.

Capture the thief and capture the king first! If the Tartar chieftain Taiji can be killed, or if he is seriously injured, then the Qing army will definitely collapse in confusion if the emperor suffers heavy damage.

This seemingly fantastical idea, in Li Dingguo's mind, quickly turned into a concrete and executable plan.

The crux of this plan was that Li Dingguo had a secret passage that would lead directly to the western wall.

This secret passage is the key passage for the Tang army raid team to sneak out of the city last time and blow up the 30 Hongyi cannons of the Qing army with hand mines.

The most fundamental thing is that this passage, because all the personnel of the Tang army's raid team have been sacrificed, so the Qing army does not know its specific location and has not destroyed it, so now this passage can be used again.

In Li Dingguo's view, this passage can be described as a life channel in the true sense. After saving yourself once, you have to give yourself another chance to survive.

And Li Dingguo's plan is to select a few capable auxiliary soldiers like last time, bring enough hand-thrown mines, and come to the west city wall, just inside the city wall, hollow out the inner layer of rammed earth, pile up cluster hand-thrown mines, and then detonate them uniformly, and blow up a large section of the West Gate city wall, so that Huang Taiji will either be killed on the spot, or fall from the city wall and fall to his death.

As long as Huang Taiji can be killed, Li Dingguo can be sure that the Qing army will be in chaos, so that it will collapse without a fight, and the Tang army will most likely drive the Qing army away in a difficult moment before the fall of the inner city, and finally let the inner city be preserved.

This is a very difficult and necessary plan. Li Dingguo has no other choice.

He glanced at the Qing army that was getting closer and closer, and shouted orders to several auxiliary leaders clearly and sternly: "Pass on the general's order, quickly select a few capable auxiliary soldiers, sneak into the west city wall, throw thunder with a cluster hand, blow up the west gate city wall, and blow up the Tartar chief Taiji to death for me!" ”

"Yes, in obedience! ：
