An explosion in front of the Chinese army startled Liu Yun, who was standing at the foot of the hill to supervise the formation at close range, and when he looked back at the black smoke rising and figured out that Li Dingguo's position was under the smoke, he rode his horse with a white face and ran over, until he saw through the smoke that Li Dingguo was settling down the frightened and jumping mount, and his heart fell high.

"Lord Wang, the artillery fire of the Ming army is fierce, you better retreat, so as not to be injured by the cold artillery of the Ming army." Liu Yun eagerly persuaded that Li Dingguo was the imperial prince, and he could not make any mistakes, otherwise he would not be able to forgive his sins in death.

Li Dingguo pulled the reins closer, strangled the horse's head under his crotch, and completely quieted it, but his face was not panicked after being frightened, but with a look of surprise, he waved his hand at Liu Yun and said: "It's okay, it's not an artillery just now, and there can't be a red-clothed cannon on Longquan Mountain, it's a bed crossbow." ”

"Bed crossbow?" Liu Yun was puzzled: "How could the bed crossbow explode?" ”

Li Dingguo didn't answer, just squinted his eyes and looked at the head of Longquan Mountain City, looked at the battlefield with a loud shout of killing for a while, and suddenly ordered: "Order, the two battalion leaders on the right guard battalion, replace the people who are attacking the city on the left guard, and ask Zhang Desheng to give this king more heart, if he can't take Longquan Mountain, military law will serve!" ”

Liu Yun's heart was upset, and he looked up a little stunned, the right guard is a war barracks, all of them are border troops in armor, and the old soldiers who followed Li Dingguo to fight the old battles are very noble, and they are usually sent up at the last critical moment, at this moment, the siege has just begun, and the first wave of the miscellaneous barracks has not been exhausted, why are you going to fight now?

He was stunned in place for a moment, Li Dingguo looked at his cold eyes, his face was extremely serious, and he said sharply: "What are you doing in a daze?" Don't go yet! ”

Liu Yun's whole body was excited, and he hurriedly agreed loudly, and slapped his horse in the direction of the right guard.

Looking at Liu Yun's back, the brows on Li Dingguo's forehead furrowed deeper, he took a deep breath, and squeezed an iron nail in his hand fiercely, which was a hurtful weapon that burst out from inside when the bamboo tube on the short spear exploded just now.

"Such a sharp weapon, how can the cowardly Ming army master, this Longquan Mountain must be captured, this king wants to see, what is in the bamboo tube, why can it have such a huge power!" He said in his heart, the original determination to capture Longquan Mountain by only two or three points suddenly increased sharply because of this unexpected appearance, and swelled to achieve the goal at all costs.

As long as you can find the kind of bamboo tube that can explode after the fall of the city, and hand it over to the skilled craftsmen of Onishi to figure out the mystery, no matter how many lives and no matter how big the price is, you will not hesitate to pay any more lives!

Zhang Desheng, the main general of the right guard of the Great Western Army, heard Liu Yun's order, and was also a little surprised, according to the siege process on weekdays, it was not yet the time for him to go into battle, but the military order was like a mountain, and the king of Anxi felt that the useless miscellaneous battalion had lost the face of the Great Western Army, and asked him to go up and give the Ming army in the city a fatal blow.

This strong man did not hesitate, waved the flag, and personally rushed forward with the rescue of his two soldiers.

The soldiers under the command of the king of Anxi are all wearing iron armor, most of them are from the half-body waist armor of the Ming army, some leaders wear chain mail, iron leaves are Zhengzheng, strong as oxen, two battalions of 4,000 soldiers are like an iron stream, converging to the dismal Longquan Mountain City.

Wang Huan at the head of the city is sitting firmly on the high arrow tower, looking at the attack and defense on the city wall with a grim face, the Great Western Army attacked fiercely, he couldn't help but be as leisurely as at the beginning, the charging Great Western soldiers are not afraid of death, although they are miscellaneous soldiers, they are more desperate than ordinary Ming troops, if it is not for the poor equipment, they are basically leather armor and cloth clothes, and they are shot by arrows on the city, otherwise the pressure of defending the city will be a few points greater.

"Li Dingguo really deserves to be a number of generals at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the soldiers he led are not ordinary, his subordinates are well-organized, there are advances and no retreats, and the people who besiege the city know that they will die, and they will move forward, if Zhang Xianzhong is not so violent, how much he uses this kind of talent, he probably won't die so quickly." Wang Huan stared at the ant-like crawling heads under the city, and couldn't help but shake his head, and the impact on Li Dingguo was a little deeper. However, although the soldiers are brave, but only relatively speaking, the Kuizhou army defending the city is not an ordinary Ming army, the Great Western Army encountered an iron plate, not afraid of death and can not stand the white-robed soldiers who are more fierce than them, Longquan Mountain City is impregnable, and even a soldier of the Great Western Army has not touched the bricks on the city.

At this moment, a gong sounded under the city, and the Great Western Army that was hugging under the city suddenly retreated like a tide, scattered to both sides, leaving a large open space in the middle, from which more Great Western troops rushed up, all of whom were armor soldiers, more elite than the retreating soldiers.

Ma Wannian stood beside Wang Huan, saw that his face changed, and shouted urgently: "My lord, the thief army is on the battlefield!" ”

The rushing Onishi army also held a shield in one hand and a sword in the other, covering their companions carrying long ladders, and flew close to the city wall like crossbow arrows from the city.

Wang Huan's expression on his face became more serious, he picked up the mountain destroying crossbow on his waist, tightened the eight-petal iron helmet on his head, and said coldly: "Okay, take the personal guards down with me, let's go to meet Zhang Xianzhong's Su Guards for a while, let them also see and understand, my Kuizhou army is powerful!" ”

Ma Wannian excitedly grabbed a big bow in his hand, this is the iron tire bow given to him by his father, the string force is two stones, and he has never been on the battlefield, and he finally has the opportunity to show his skills at this moment. With a move, he took a hundred guards, followed closely behind Wang Huan, stepped on a wooden ladder from the arrow tower to the city wall, stretched out his bow and arrows, raised his crossbow and buckled the string, and shot towards the city.

……

The two armies of Longquan Mountain are facing each other, the wolf smoke covers the sun, and thousands of miles away in Datong Town, it is also a pair of flags flying, the heroic army is entrenched in the scene, the Qing Dynasty Datong town guard general soldier Jiang Xuan, wearing a Qing Dynasty official uniform, is carefully accompanying a Manchu man with a five-clawed golden dragon embroidered on the front and back of the upper body of the clothes, walking in a huge military camp outside Datong City, cautiously introducing something.

"Lord Wang, the minions have prepared 10,000 stone of military rations, 500,000 arrows, and 10,000 loads of forage for the army, all of which have been loaded into trucks and transported by 20,000 people. Jiang Xuan's national character face, with a respectful smile, lowered his head slightly, half a step behind the big man, and said as he walked.

Jiang Hao, as a nine-sided general, commanded nearly 100,000 tiger and wolf soldiers, was known for his arrogance in the Ming Dynasty, even if he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, he would not take it into his eyes when he was idle officials, but now, behind the big man in front of him, he didn't dare to come out, with a servile look, but he couldn't say that he was out of place, it was really the identity of the big man who was too precious, and he couldn't be presumptuous.

This big man is the eldest son of Emperor Taizong of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the owner of the Blue Banner, the Prince of Daqing Su Haoge, so many identities can be crushed to death by Jiang Huang, so he is so low-key, like a real slave to serve Haoge deferentially.

But Haoge didn't seem to appreciate it too much, or didn't notice Jiang Jiu's attitude too much at all, frowning and just moving forward without saying a word. He was tall and burly, not at all like his obese father, but very much like his grandfather Nurhachi, with a sturdy body of more than six feet, although he was nearly forty years old, he was still as strong as a bull, and the long beard connecting the roots of the ears on both sides with thick eyebrows and big eyes made his whole face vigorous, very strong, in the words of fortune telling, that is, there was dragon energy.

But now, the dragon qi seemed to be getting farther and farther away from him.

Haoge's expedition to Sichuan this time was nominally to make meritorious service and use military merits to clear away the sin of slandering Prince Rui Dolgon, but in fact, everyone understands that this is Dolgon taking revenge on him.

As the eldest son of Huang Taiji, the prince who has made great contributions to the Qing Dynasty, no matter how he says, it is natural to inherit the throne, but this is a matter of course, but at this time, it has become an unattainable dream, and it is the ninth brother Fulin who is less than seven years old who sits on the throne.

And the culprit of all this is his uncle Dolgon, who is as strong as himself, when it comes to military exploits, Dolgon is as outstanding as himself, and has great power in the Eight Banners, and the two white flags that Nurhachi personally established and led when he started his home are in the hands of the Dolgon brothers, but everyone wants the emperor's seat, although Zilharang and Dai Shan secretly support Haoge, but after a fight, Haoge and Dolgon did not get the throne they wanted, and a group of nobles pulled the skin, cheapened the ignorant Fulin, that is, the Shunzhi Emperor.

As soon as he thought of these things, Hauge was angry and didn't fight anywhere, saying a few strange words, a few words of complaining is very normal, with his temperament, he didn't draw a knife and cut it directly in the court and the Dolgon brothers It would be very good, but the hateful Dolgon took advantage of this to grab his pigtails and complained to the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, and what is even more hateful is that the two old slippery heads of Zilharang and Daishan, typical wall grass, immediately turned their faces when they saw that the situation was not good, so that Dolgon became the regent as he wished, and in turn cut his own crown prince into the county king, Although he later pretended to restore Prince Heshuo, this deep hatred and shame will never be forgotten by Haoge for the rest of his life.

Thinking of this, Haoge's temper came up a little again, and there were countless green tendons on his wide forehead, and his steps became bigger and bigger, so that Jiang Huang, who was walking behind with small broken steps, couldn't keep up.

Walking with them, there were two others, and the rest were far behind and did not dare to approach, these two people could be regarded as extremely close to Haoge in the Qing army.

A person is a few points taller than Hauge, almost six feet three inches, although it is a cold winter, he only wears a jacket, covered with iron armor, the exposed muscles are intertwined, the bulging bag seems to be able to tear the bear and tear the tiger, the top of the head is bare with a rat tail braid, and the horizontal flesh on the face makes people dare not look directly, and the whole person gives others a feeling of arrogance and strength.

The other man was much better, although he was also tall and healthy, but he was well-proportioned and elegant, very young, he looked only in his early twenties, handsome and white, and if Li Tingyu or Wang Huan were here, he would have recognized him at a glance: he was chasing the white pole soldiers from Yangzhou to Sule in Xiangyang.

And that one of the bears looked like the commander of the Yellow Flag Protector Army and the first warrior of the Manchu Dynasty in the future.
