On the road below the incense burner mountain, there are corpses everywhere. A large number of Han people cried and called their mothers like cattle, driven by the flagmen and gathered together, and the black pressure knelt together, trembling like a flock of sheep surrounded by hungry tigers. There were Han people in Qiding clothes and armor shouting loudly back and forth.

Among the surrounded crowd were the minions on the mountain, who had not had time to escape up the mountain just now, so they threw their weapons and mixed in the crowd and pretended to be dead and alive.

"The Tartars seem to be looking for someone......"

People don't die for themselves, let alone at such a critical juncture. Suddenly, a minion soldier stood up and shouted loudly: "Master Jianzhou spare your life!" The villain knows where the man is looking for! Spare your life! ”……

Sancha'er Fort.

The shouts continued, and arrows and lead in the air were still flying wildly. The fort wall more than four meters high has collapsed into a large gap of about two zhang, and many people are buried underneath, including those of the Ming army and those of the bannermen, and the blood flows out along the cracks in the ground. Then he was trampled by countless feet, and the ground was dyed black and red.

The dense red flag bannermen roared with wooden shields and hugged from the gap in the city wall, the Ming army on both sides of the city was killed and wounded, and the rest saw the city broken, some were frightened and jumped down directly from the city wall, and some of the red-eyed ones were still putting arrows down to hit the guns, but it didn't take long to be shot down by the random arrows that broke through the air.

The bloody battle in the fort also continued, and some of the remnants of the Ming army refused to defend the Mountain Emperor Temple in the north of the city, lying on the wall and throwing arrows out. also set up a tiger squat cannon, and indiscriminately just hit the crowd. There were still about dozens of people who didn't have time to escape into the temple, and seeing that their lives were dead, they turned around and started a desperate fight with the Jianzhou soldiers who rushed in. Most of the bannermen began to set fire to the house or loot it, and smoke rose from the fort.

"Kill! Kill all these dogs! ”

Shiertai howled and slashed five or six people in a row with his long knife, and the blood of the Ming army stained the vermilion armor on his body with a layer of blood. He had long forgotten Dai Shan's order to catch as much alive as possible, the stubbornness of the Ming army in Sancha'er Fort was quite beyond his expectations, he originally thought that these people were as vulnerable as the Ming army in Fushun, but he didn't expect that his men were killed and wounded nearly 100 people, and they are still resisting stubbornly, which stimulates his ferocity.

It's good to kill all these Han dogs, what else do you catch? Kill all the Han people in Liaodong, and all the women will be arrested to be Ahab, and Liaodong will be our Jurchens.

"Shoot the arrows! Shoot the arrows! He roared, and arrows rained down from the city and from the city. The Ming soldiers at the head of the wall of the Mountain Emperor Temple screamed and fell down in a row, and the screams in the temple were chaotic. The bannermen outside took the opportunity to attack, cut down more than a dozen people on the periphery like chopping melons and vegetables, and quickly approached forward under the cover of bows and arrows.

"Shirtai! Are you crazy!? Lange came up from behind and grabbed Syltai, who was about to take the lead. The master's military order is to capture them alive, how did you kill them all!? ”

"Captured? Look at it, this Han army is so stubborn, how can it be captured? My bannermen have suffered more than 100 casualties, and I can't count this account! Could it be that the Jurchen men under my command will bleed in vain! Kill one of me, I will kill ten of him and one hundred, and see who dares to confront our Jianzhou warriors in the future! ”

"You want to disobey your master's orders!" Lange's eyebrows straightened.

"Lange, don't spew blood. Who disobeys military orders? It's just that the master said that he tried to capture him alive, but now this situation can't be captured alive at all. What can I do? Could it be that they are free here? Besides, I know what the master means, that is, he wants to catch a few more cultivators, and he is not short of these hundred and ten people. This time, when we hit the Tieling Kaiyuan, there are some people there, are you afraid that you won't catch enough? I've made sure to obey the military orders then, and now I'm going to avenge my men!" ”

"You don't come to this set! The master is looking for a ......" Lange didn't finish his sentence, and there seemed to be a fire exploding in front of him, and then there was a loud bang in his ears like a thunderbolt, and the ground under his feet trembled, and the hot wind rushed straight down and almost swept him over. Countless traces of smoke whistled and flew sideways, and he and Shirtai immediately subconsciously lay on the ground with their heads in their hands.

Looking at the mountain emperor temple that the Ming army refused to defend, a huge white pillar of smoke dragged an orange-red fireball into the sky, and the powerful shock wave completely knocked down several earthen walls, and even the city wall collapsed a large piece, mixed with stumps and broken arms flying in the sky. A platoon of Jurchen soldiers who had attacked the base of the wall were completely engulfed in billowing smoke and flames, and several charred corpses were swept out by the air waves.

The blasted iron and lead swept in all directions with countless white smoke and rain, and many people from near and far fell to the ground screaming, and the rest of the people were all shocked and couldn't stand on their feet, holding their heads and lying on the ground. The billowing smoke that followed pushed flat like a wall, engulfing everything.

After a long time, when the explosion completely subsided, all that remained was the screams and ** of the wounded. Lange and Shertai shook the dirt off their bodies and staggered to their feet. Looking at each other, each other's faces were all blackened by the fireworks, and Lange's ears were still ringing in the ears, and he couldn't really hear what he was saying when he saw Shirtai pointing at his face.

"What do you say, be louder!"

"You...... The face is hurt! Shiertai was almost shouting at the top of his voice, but Lang finally vaguely understood, touched it, and felt the pain in one hand.

"It was the giant gun of the Han dog that exploded......"

It turned out that more than 100 remnants of the Ming army retreated to the temple, and only a tiger squat cannon could not stop the enemy's charge.

The Ming army was negligent in training on weekdays, and its artillery skills were extremely poor, and they did not dare to put more gunpowder in the chamber, and the power of the gravel and iron sand was insufficient, and the accuracy was even worse. The thick wooden shields in the hands of the Jurchen soldiers were covered with several layers of raw cowhide, and the cannons of the tiger squat cannon were hit one by one, even if they pierced the wooden planks, the lethality to the bannermen wearing well-made iron armor was limited, not to mention the Jurchens' brave style of lightly injuring them and not getting out of the line of fire, so even firing a few shots was not effective, and they still could not stop the opponent from advancing.

The leader of the Ming army also knows what is going on, and knows that if he dies today, it is better to fight one more and count one.

It is also a coincidence that discipline in this fort is lax on weekdays, and most of the utensils are placed in a disorderly manner. This mountain emperor temple was originally a place to suppress evil spirits built according to the feng shui direction when the Ming army built the city, but it was later used as a temporary sundries warehouse.

This group of remnants was in a hurry, and accidentally found a big general cannon that was placed here at some point, so they pushed it out and prepared to bombard the enemy outside with this heavy artillery, but no one would put this kind of heavy artillery, the leader felt that the cannon must have a lot of charge, and smashed a few catties of gunpowder into it in a hurry, who knew that the process of casting the general cannon itself was not good, the cannon body had a sand hole, and the gunpowder was even more outrageous, and a little fire did not bombard the enemy but exploded. Flying Martian shrapnel detonated the powder keg, causing a violent explosion.

This explosion completely shattered the last resistance of the Ming army, and more than 100 remnants were either killed or wounded, and most of the Mountain Emperor Temple was blown up. The Jianzhou bannermen were also injured a lot by the shrapnel rubble flying everywhere like raindrops, and more than a dozen people were also killed because they rushed too close, and most of the remaining people were stunned by the thunder on the flat ground.

"Obediently, this is a hundred times more powerful than thunder in the sky, this Han dog is really ridiculous, this giant gun can't hit others but beats himself. With such a family, wouldn't you find your own death? I have seen Han dogs fight like this when I was in Fushun before, I really don't know what the benefits of this fire gun are, it is so dangerous to use it, it is not as powerful as our Jurchen bows and arrows. It is easy to seek difficulties, which shows that these Han dogs are exhausted. ”

Shiertai was a rough man, and immediately after being shocked, he was laughing at the Ming army. Lange covered the wound on his face, and his heart was also secretly frightened. He was not as simple-minded and limbed-developed as Shirtai, and the power of the gunpowder explosion had been deeply engraved into his mind, and if the red-hot shrapnel just now had been tilted to the side by an inch, it would have been difficult to say whether he would be alive now.

The firearms of the Ming army are indeed dangerous, and if they are not used well, they will injure themselves. But what if it's used well? Such a huge gun bombarded over, and it was absolutely difficult to resist with the current flesh and blood iron deck shield.

But now they didn't have time to think about it, they were stepping on the ruins of Sancha'er Fort. They captured the oldest castle of the Ming army in Liaodong, but this does not mean any great feats, with the strength of the Eight Banners Army, as long as they want, they are now capable of capturing any city or fort in Liaodong. And Dai Shan will definitely not reward them for this, because they don't have any clue about their main task yet.

"Okay, you're having a good time, but I'll ask you if you have any good plans to find that Han man named Yue Xiang. Now there is no one to ask for news, and I am sure that he has died in the chaos. ”

"Uh...... This is not great, this city is full of soldiers of Han dogs, and Yue Xiang is not a soldier. Let's just look all the way through. If you meet the Han people, you will be caught, as long as all the Han people in Liaodong are caught, you will always be able to catch that Yue Xiang. ”

"What the hell is this! What's the difference between this and looking for a needle in a haystack? There are millions of Han people in Liaodong, and when you tell who is who one by one, you don't know what year or month. Brother Lang was angry that he was wrapped in a bandage around his head, and he didn't have any good ideas at this time, and he could only consider himself unlucky when he met such a reckless partner.

According to the intelligence, Yue Xiang's destination should be this area, but neither of them has ever seen a real person, only a picture of a picture, and he prayed in his heart that this Yue Xiang would not die in the chaos.

But today seemed to be their lucky day, and just as they were wandering aimlessly among the ruins and corpses, a scout came back from the front of them, bringing news that really shocked the spirits of the two of them.

"Incense burner mountain? I know where it is. Hahaha, it looks like the big fish has been caught, and this time the first credit belongs to our brothers. Order, march immediately! ”
