Chapter 690: Capture Fuzhou

The place where Li Xin, the defender of Lushun Town, led the army to ambush Duoduo was not very far from Fuzhou City. X

More than 2,000 muskets fired several rounds in a salvo, and the sound was not small.

The white-flaged Melle Ezhenba Bow, who had stopped Dordor from attacking rashly, was always uneasy after being whipped away by Dordor with a horsewhip.

It's not that he was afraid of offending Duoduo, on the contrary, he was worried that Duoduo would be so reckless and impulsive, and he would only take more than 300 people to rescue Yangguan Fort, whether there would be any danger.

Just when he gathered his men and horses, arranged the city defense, and was about to take a few cattle guarding the city to rush out of the city to Yangguan Fort, he vaguely heard a tight thumping sound from miles away.

Ba Duli is an old man, and after listening to it for a while, he concluded that this was the sound of firearms from the Ming army!

He did not dare to hesitate any longer, and immediately led three of the four remaining Niu Lu in the city, mounted his horse and went out of the city, and ran along the road leading to Yangguanbao, towards the place where the sound of muskets was still coming.

As he galloped southwest with his scimitar, he kept praying in his heart that nothing would happen to his bannerman.

At the beginning of the rise of the Eight Banners, the military discipline was strict, and once the banner owner died in the war, then the officials and officials who followed the left and right had to be beheaded.

Now, if the owner of the white flag Duoduo has an accident, the white flag Mailer Echen Ba Duli, who assisted Duoduo to stay in Fuzhou City, will end up miserable.

The distance of six or seven miles is not far, and it is natural to arrive quickly.

Li Xin had just cut off the heads of Duoduo and the others, and was about to go to attack Fuzhou City, but he didn't expect that suddenly a few people in charge of watching shouted in the distance: "My lord! Another captive is coming! Another captive is coming! ”

Hearing this, Li Xin immediately conveyed the order in a loud voice: "Arrange the formation!" Both sides of the Musket Camp mountain road! Lancers block the road! Hurry up! ”

Li Xin's order was handed down, and Yang Yuchun, Li Yu, and Wang Yiming's subordinates immediately took action, each leading their own men and horses to rush back to their positions.

Before all the sides were deployed, the sound of horses' hooves came like thunder.

Ba Duli, who had just led his army into this mountain valley, watched from a distance as the Ming soldiers hundreds of paces away were running to both sides of the road, and there were pieces of corpses of men and horses lying on the road, I am afraid that there were no less than hundreds.

When Ba Duli saw this scene, he was shocked and angry, and immediately shouted loudly: "Ten Belle has been ambushed by the Han barbarians!" Kill these barbarians and avenge them with Ten Belle! ”

Ba Duli and the others were whining and shouting, Li Xin didn't understand what it meant, but when he saw this team of nearly 1,000 horsemen, and saw that his men and horses not only did not retreat, but also accelerated to rush, he was also happy in his heart, and said in his heart: "It's just right!" Save the sons and daughters of my town guard to go to Fuzhou City to attack! ”

At this thought, the Baduli brigade had already rushed closer.

Li Xin immediately ordered loudly: "The spear battalion holds its position!" Musketeers fire! Fire! ”

This time, someone had already lit a fire on the side of the mountain road.

With the open flame on the fire, the new army of Lushun Town Guard, a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, can finally ignite the thunderbolt that is carried around and throw it!

Now the grenade produced by the Armament Institute has been changed to a two-pound volume.

The amount of medicine has increased, and the power has naturally increased, but the weight has also increased.

There was no separate grenadier team under the Lushun Town Guard, and Li Xin, who knew the role of grenades, asked the musketeers in the musket battalion to have no one to carry five grenades.

Five pieces weigh ten catties, and after getting off the sailor's warship, these people have to carry enough dry food for several days, felt blankets for sleeping in the wilderness, plus guns and ammunition, and the weight of one person is close to forty catties.

Carrying these things over the mountains and mountains, eating and sleeping in the open air, two days after getting off the boat, everyone under Li Xin's command was miserable.

When the ambush circle was first set up here, Li Yu suggested using grenades, but Li Xin turned his head and thought that it would not work.

Because this grenade needs an open flame, whether it's a torch, or a fire, in short, it needs an open flame.

In the past two days, Li Xin has eaten cold food for this moment, and it is strictly forbidden to light a fire to keep warm by sleeping in the mountains, so as not to startle the snake.

How, then, can a torch be lit or a fire can be lit?

Therefore, when ambushing the vanguard led by Dord, he did not dare to use grenades.

This time, of course, there was no such concern, and immediately shouted the order left and right, lit the fire and threw the grenade.

The sound of muskets on both sides of the mountain road was incessant, and there were no iron bumps and explosions on the mountain road, all of which soon caused the three Niulu cavalry infantry led by Baduli to be in disarray.

Groups of wounded horses screamed and neighed, and threw the knights in white flags and armor to the ground.

There were also the horses that were charging forward, startled by the explosion of the grenades thrown in front, and the men stood up and refused to move forward.

The whole scene was in chaos.

The Ming soldiers on the side of the Lushun Town Guard Mansion participated in the battle for the first time, and many of them had just won a battle, but they were chaotic and could not find their superiors, and they didn't know whose command to listen to.

In addition to the musket shooting, Baduli suddenly encountered wave after wave of grenade explosions, and the war horse was uncontrollable and chaotic.

But after all, it was because of the large number of soldiers in the town guard under Li Xin's command, 3,200 people fought against more than 900 prisoners, even if these knights with white flags and armor were all wearing double cotton armor, they couldn't stand the many guns on the side of the Ming army.

After more than half an hour of chaotic fighting, Ba Duli was killed on the spot, and part of his white flag rear team fled back to Fuzhou, and most of the others were killed or wounded.

In this melee, except for the pikemen under Wang Yiming's command who lined up to guard the road and did not have any new casualties, the 2,200 musketeers under Yang Yuchun, Li Yu and others died 181 people, and 226 people were cut and shot by Jianlu and mistakenly wounded by the self-army.

After almost all of them were surrounded and annihilated by Ba Duli in white flags and armor, it was already noon, and Li Xin asked Li Yu to gather the Jianyu war horses that could still be ridden on the slopes of the ravines near the battlefield, and checked down 200 horses, and asked him to lead 200 musketeers of less than one musket team to quickly ride to Yangguan Fort, cooperate with the sea shelling, and take Yangguan Fort.

After Li Xin himself confirmed the identities of the White Flag Banner Masters Duodu and Meler Ezhenba Duli from the captives, he shot all the captives, then rested for a while, and rushed to the outside of Fuzhou City with the remaining brigade of men and horses around mid-afternoon.

At this moment, in Fuzhou City, there are only more than 500 Jianyu who can go to the city to defend the city with white flags and armor.

Although the population of the rest of the city is quite large, all of them are some officials of the yamen with white flags and the families of the generals who set out with white flags, the elderly, the weak, women and children.

Although the more than 500 armor-clad bannermen, the old and weak Jianyu who were temporarily recruited to the city, and the clothed servants of each family barely managed to make up enough for the small 2,000, they could not stop the offensive of more than 2,500 people under Li Xin's command in a hurry.

The four gates of Fuzhou City and the circumference of the city wall were five or six miles, and Li Xin asked Wang Yiming to feint the west gate with an almost full pike battalion, while he himself took the remaining more than 1,500 musketeers to attack the north gate.

In the evening of the same day, after several attempts, Yang Yuchun led his troops to use a few felt blankets to bundle more than 100 catties of Dias gunpowder that had been collected, and blew up the gates of Fuzhou City that had not yet had time to be blocked with earth and stones.

Li Xin led an army of more than 1,500 musketeers from the north gate into the city of Fuzhou, and the city was immediately in chaos.

Not long after, Wang Yiming also entered the city through the West Gate, and a fierce battle immediately began in Fuzhou City.

At the end of the night, Zhang Kedu, the deputy general of the Denglai Naval Division, finally led the main force of the Naval Division Battalion and the 2,200 soldiers of the Zhenshou Mansion who remained on the ship to enter Fuzhou City, accompanied by Chen Liangmo, the garrison of the Naval Division and Li Yu, the junior general of the Central Army of the Zhenshou Mansion.

The addition of this group of more than 2,000 new troops made the stubborn resistance of the Jianjiao in Fuzhou City quickly suppressed in an all-round way.

In the early morning of the next day, except for a part of the white-flaged officials who saw the opportunity early, acted quickly, and were not stubborn, the old and weak opened the east gate and fled, all the men with money rat tails in Fuzhou City, both old and young, were killed.

Around midnight, in the open space in front of the yamen with white flags that originally belonged to Duoduo in Fuzhou City, 6,448 were collected and registered.

Fuzhou City, that's all,
