Early the next morning, as soon as dawn broke, the Yejiabao army immediately set out, with the cavalry battalion of the iron tower as the vanguard, and Su Can's musket battalion as the Chinese army. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Chengke's infantry was behind the palace, and yesterday they didn't believe what the tower said and went to the south gate to check, and sure enough, they found a huge gap.

After careful consideration, they guessed that this gap should be caused by the previous Taiyuan army. This has created excellent conditions for the Yejiabao army.

Although Tianjin City also attached great importance to this gap, it soon sent heavy troops to guard it, and also blocked the gap with some messy debris.

In this way, it brought a lot of trouble to the Yejiabao army, but the miscellaneous items piled up randomly naturally could not be compared with the solid city wall.

Ten powerful guns were pulled out at the first time, and the muzzles were aimed at the gap full of debris.

"Listen to me, let go!"

Su Can held the order flag, stood in front of the formation, and waved the small flag in his hand fiercely.

The earth-shattering sound of cannons rang out, and 'boom', fire, and black smoke suddenly emerged from the mouths of the ten cannons. The debris piled up in the gap in the south gate was instantly shaken and scattered in all directions by the explosion of the cannonballs.

With just one salvo of ten shots, the gap had been completely cleared.

Then, the tower immediately rushed up with the cavalry battalion. The defenders of Tientsin began to fire their arrows, and the cavalry battalion raised their shields and braved the rain of bullets to rush straight into the gap.

It's only a few hundred meters away, and it's just a few minutes away for a galloping horse. The iron tower took the lead, and the horse rushed into the gap, and the iron rod in his hand danced like a wheel, whirring.

Anyone who was hit by an iron rod immediately vomited blood and died. Although the south city gate is heavily guarded, the Tianjin city in front of him has less than 5,000 troops, and even if all the troops are arranged here, it is not enough for 3,000 cavalry to kill.

The cavalry battalion was just a charge, and then the defenders of the city were scattered, and they fled with their armor thrown away.

At this time, Su Can's musket battalion followed closely behind the cavalry battalion and killed it. The rank of the shot showed great power, and with each shot of the musket, a wail could be heard.

The 5,000 defenders of Tianjin City were simply vulnerable, and the Yejiabao army easily occupied the south gate with a single charge. When the city gate was opened, the infantry of the Yejiabao army then poured in, and then began to advance into the city.

The tower's cavalry battalion, led by him, began to attack the other three gates. Almost all the troops of Tianjin City were placed at the south gate, and the iron tower fought all the way through without encountering decent resistance at all.

Sometimes, before they arrived, the enemy had already fled, which made the tower very boring.

Aixin Haoran sat in charge of the Chinese army and controlled the overall situation, and Li Chengke and Su Can led people to kill the government in the city, but found that the government had already been empty.

The Seventh Prince and that Shen Xuan were gone, Su Can and Li Chengke immediately divided their troops to search in the city, and finally found that the Seventh Prince had fled from the sea.

When the army entered the city, the people in the city were so frightened that no one dared to leave their homes even half a step. Families are hiding in their homes with their doors closed.

The Yejiabao army quickly wiped out the remnants of the enemy, captured more than 2,000 soldiers, and killed more than 1,000 people. The rest hid in the dwellings and could not be caught for a while.

After occupying the city of Tianjin, Su Can immediately sent a fast horse to report to Yejiabao, and then ordered the whole army not to disturb the people, and the whole city was under martial law.

Tie Tower, Su Can, Li Chengke and Aixin Haoran, the four of them gathered in the palace in the city. After each reported the casualties of his men, they began to discuss how to resettle the people in the city.

"Dashuai, after preliminary statistics, there are less than 1,000 households in the city, probably more than 5,000 people. If everyone is moved to the capital according to the previous plan, Tianjin will definitely become an empty city again. Su Can looked at the handsome man who insisted on moving people away, and tried his best to persuade him.

Aixin Haoran was unmoved, and said indifferently: "Have you forgotten the original intention of Shaolong to take Tianjin City." This place will inevitably become an important base for the Yejiabao Army in the future. Tianjin City not only had to defend the harbor and block the foreigners and pirates, but also had to prepare for the future expansion of Yejiabao. How can the people stay here in such an important place? ”

The two sides insisted on their own words, and no one could convince anyone, so in the end, this matter could only be put on hold for the time being, waiting for Ye Shaolong to make a decision in the future. In front of them, they have successfully completed the task and taken Tianjin City, as long as the safety of the city is ensured, everything else is no longer important.

However, the gap in the south gate has now become a headache for Su Can and them, if they don't step up the repair, if there is an enemy attack in the near future, this place will inevitably create convenience for the enemy army to attack the city.

After some deliberation, everyone unanimously decided to requisition the people to cooperate with the army first, and repair the gap as soon as possible.

In the evening of the same day, the fast horse that set off from Tianjin City finally arrived at Yejiabao, and Ye Shaolong, who was concerned about the safety of the army, learned that the army had finally taken Tianjin City, and then he put down the stone in his heart.

Another piece of news that could come from the capital shocked Ye Shaolong. Facing the panting messenger in front of him, Ye Shaolong confirmed in a cold voice: "Is everything reported true?" ”

The messenger did not hesitate, and even swore an oath: "Please rest assured, the commander, his subordinates have verified that there are indeed thousands of Japanese men and horses who have sailed from Guangdong to the sea, and the destination is Tianjin Port." ”

"Got it, go down and rest!"

Ye Shaolong frowned and felt quite distressed in his heart, he didn't expect that he had just occupied Tianjin City, but he would meet the Japanese Kou again.

Tang Feifei and Su Xiaocao saw that after Ye Shaolong came back from a trip, they kept frowning and sullen. Curious, he asked, "Xianggong, is there something going on in Tianjin City?" ”

Ye Shaolong smiled bitterly: "There is indeed a situation, a large number of Japanese robbers will arrive in Tianjin City in three days, and then Tianjin City will only be passively beaten, and there will be no ships to fight back." ”

"Wako?"

Tang Feifei was also slightly surprised.

In the eyes of the people of the Qing Dynasty, they were much more difficult than the foreigners, and from the Tang Dynasty to the present, the notoriety of the Japanese has been passed down from the mouth of the people in the coastal areas.

"So what are we going to do?" Tang Feifei was also distressed suddenly.

Ye Shaolong hesitated, looked at Su Xiaocao and said helplessly: "Xiaocao, now it seems that I have to go to Tianjin City, and there is no way to accompany you." ”

"Xianggong, you go, it's a big deal, I have Sister Feifei here, you can rest assured." Su Xiaocao didn't have any complaints, but reassured Ye Shaolong.

"Well, this time I broke my trust to you, and I will definitely compensate you well in the future." Ye Shaolong assured Su Xiaocao with a serious face. After all, he was at fault for this matter first, Su Xiaocao was about to give birth, but he couldn't be by his side.
