In the early morning of May 31, the city of Jilin on the banks of the Songhua River in the northeast was already crowded with frightened Manchu soldiers, and an army they had never seen before actually surrounded the city of Jilin. 【】

At this time, the North Gate Tower was crowded with people, and several figures dressed in the cotton armor of the Manchu generals strode up the North Gate Tower. "Did you find out?" Just stepped up to the city tower, the leader was originally cut because of the fifty-nine years of the staff case, and then because the new Jilin general died in Bazhou, the Jilin general Hengxiu, who had no choice but to recover on the spot again, looked at the enemy army outside the city, turned his face to the city gate guard next to him and asked. "Is Lao Maozi here again?"

"General, it's not Lao Maozi, it's ...... It's a gang of Han Chinese. The face of the gatekeeper was extremely pale.

"Oh, it's not good, what do you say?!" Hengxiu just breathed a sigh of relief, and after reacting, his eyes couldn't help but widen. "You say those people out there are Han Chinese?!"

"Yes, general, the last general sent someone to investigate, and as soon as they reached the city gate, they let the other side bombard them with a few cannons, and then they asked people to shout and ask us to surrender immediately, otherwise, after half an hour, they will attack, and they will not leave any prisoners."

"No prisoners? Joke, when did the Han dogs become so arrogant, are they crazy, don't you know what kind of place this is? One of the generals couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Cannon? We don't have a cannon too, so let's not bomb the damn yet! A military general next to him shouted loudly.

"We have cannons, but ......," the gate keeper crooked the corners of his mouth. Most of our guns were already rusty, and just fired two shots, but one of the guns blew up, and the last general was allowed to beat and curse, and none of the gunners were willing to open fire again. ”

"Bastard, this, how can this be reasonable, those bastards, even the artillery is rusty." Hengxiu was furious, and the horsewhip in his hand pointed at the city gate guard and scolded him.

"General, this is unlikely, right? Han people, how can Han people have an army, and appear under our Jilin City, you know, we are here in the north of Shengjing. Next to him, a staff leader looked incredulous.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

"It doesn't matter if the fuck is a Han or an old man, the other party is all Bufu, generals, and the last general will rush up to fight and fight, see if the cannon of the Han dog is fast, or the horse of our Eight Banners is fast and the bow is hard." An angry co-leader yelled.

"When did those Han dog outcasts also have an army?" The other general also looked at the army about a mile away from the castle tower with a look of disdain.

"No matter, they dare to make trouble on the general's territory, Lao Tzu is really impatient to see them. Amba Lingwu, give you a cavalryman from Niu Lu, and slaughter these Han dogs blocking the north gate for me. After Hengxiu squinted his eyes and looked outside the city, the disdain in his heart was even worse, the other party was all foot soldiers, and he didn't see any trace of the cannon at all, I'm afraid that even if there is, it will definitely not be much, not to mention what kind of place is here, this is Manzhou, the base camp of the Eight Banners of Manzhou, the Han army outside this gate is about 3,000 people, can't it be cleaned up?

"The last general obeys!" The assistant leader, who had just shouted that he was going out to fight, was overjoyed, and walked down the city gate tower quickly.

"How much longer?" Fang Laosi used a telescope to observe the crowd on the upper floor of the city, and couldn't help but smile after discovering a large number of Manchu generals wearing cotton armor.

"Fifteen minutes to go, Colonel." The staff officer next to him looked at the pocket watch in his hand and replied loudly.

"Let our mortars aim at the other party's tower, hey, wait, don't be busy yet, the other party actually opened the city gate, what's the matter, do you want to fight with us in the field?" Fang Lao Sile grinned.

"Look at the posture, but why did they rush over without even forming a formation, isn't this looking for death?" The staff officer next to him wondered.

"Hmph, they may think that we are here to find death, in their eyes, the Han people, only worthy of digging in the ground to find food, they are invincible in the world of Manchu Tartar arches and horses, known as what is invincible." Fang Laosi stretched out his tongue and licked the corners of his lips, his eyes were filled with a blood-devouring red light. "Prepare to fight, remember, get closer and fight, let those dogs know who is the strongest army in the world!"

"Yes, Colonel." The herald beside him replied loudly, and quickly passed the order to the ears of the soldiers who were sitting silently, and soon all the soldiers stood up, and two of the rows of soldiers with rifles on their shoulders walked to the front of the line and stood still, and then began to take out the magazine from the waist in an orderly manner, pressed it into the inlet, the first row kneeled, and the second row began to aim at the approaching enemy horse, The other Marines behind them looked enviously at the two rows of rifle companies, numbering no more than two hundred.

The rifle in their hands is not a flintlock gun, but a real breech rifle, but due to the complex process of this firearm, the number of prepared troops is not very large, but the firing distance and speed of these firearms are far behind any kind of firearms of this era.

Even a revolver can't be compared. “…… Three hundred meters, two hundred and fifty meters, ready! Fire! With the loud roar of the rangefinder, two hundred and twelve people, including the commander of the rifle company, pulled the trigger.

Company commander Ye Gaojin passed his gaze through the crosshairs, covered the body of a military general who rushed to the front, pulled the trigger, and a faint white smoke dispersed, and soon disappeared without a trace.

The company commander could clearly look at the stunned expression on the face of the Eight Banners general who was rushing on the opposite side, and lowered his head in disbelief, as if looking at his chest, and then, the war knife in his hand slipped down, and his body also fell backwards, and the raised hind hooves of the war horse happened to collide with his head, and exploded like a rotten watermelon wrapped in the cotton armor helmet. His left and right are also a scene of people turning on their backs.

"Firearms, what's going on, how can they have so many firearms?!" On the tower of the city gate, the screaming voice of a military general almost overtook the shrew who scolded the street, General Jilin stared in disbelief, looking at the brave Eight Banners Elite Cavalry as if he had climbed onto the edge of a red-hot pot, and all of them fell to the ground with green smoke, although for the fool who had no courage and no strategy, and relied on his father's grace to climb to the co-leader, Amba Lingwu, this idiot rushed towards those Han people without even setting up a good position, but after all, all he led were eight cavalry elite cavalry.

Three hundred iron cavalry, a charge, the momentum alone is enough to make people frightened, but no one thought that the enemy did not move at all, but began to counterattack, the sound of gunfire like fried beans made Hengxiu and other Manchu generals numb, this momentum, I am afraid that only Lao Maozi's army has it.

"Let them come back, Mingjin, and let those cavalry retreat." Next to him, Jilin Deputy Governor Xiulin shouted loudly, and soon, the sound of Mingjin sounded on the city tower, and the Eight Banners Cavalry, who had already made the other party's violent beating stunned, turned their horses in a panic and retreated towards the way they came.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

That is, in the gap of a few shots, Yiniulu, that is, three hundred cavalry, has already fallen by nearly half, and looking at those retreating figures, Fang Caisi did not let them go at all, and gave the order loudly: "The special marksman continues to shoot, and the others cease fire." ”

There are not many special marksmen, but there are quite a few in the rifle company, at least twenty or so, all of whom are top shooters who are equipped with scopes on the rifles and can accurately hit the target at a distance of 500 meters.

Behind him, although the urging gunfire was much sparse, it was still stubbornly ringing, and he could always hear the miserable howl of his robes beside him, and the cavalry of the Eight Banners worked hard to beat their horses and gallop, and the city gate was in front of them, no matter what, as long as they ran faster than their comrades, then they would be safer.

Watching the cavalry who fled faster than even exceeding the speed of the charge rushed into the city gate below, looking at the corpses of men and horses that stretched over the place, as well as those who were still alive and screaming and moaning, Hengxiu felt a chill in his heart for no reason, the initial contempt for the enemy and arrogance had already given Sega's asshole, and now, there was a trace of fear in his somewhat chaotic head.

"It's definitely not the Han people, and the Han people can't have such a powerful firearm." One of the generals beside him struggled to calm his voice. "It must be Lao Maozi, except for Lao Maozi, I have never seen anyone with such a powerful firearm at all."

"General, what now?"

"What's the panic?! What's wrong with even if it's an old man? Could it be that their firecrackers can collapse our Jilin City? Xiulin glared viciously at a pale subordinate next to him, one or two bullied the common people more than anyone else, and now he saw that the other party's firearms were sharp, and even his legs were weak.

"Colonel, there are less than five minutes left, do you want to ask them again if they descend or not?" The staff officer glanced at the pocket watch in his hand again and said to Fang Laosi.

"Forget it, I don't have that much spare time, tell the mortars, focus on the city tower, and I'm going to let all those Manchu dog officials go to meet their ancestors." Fang Laosi rolled his eyes, and the pair of triangular eyes under the broom's eyebrows looked even more ruthless.

"Yes! Order, all artillery to target the tower......"

On the tower of the city, several Manchu generals still failed to argue for whether to send rescue envoys or not, and at this time, they heard the muffled sound like rolling thunder, and all the Qing soldiers standing on the city gate tower all looked forward, a little black shadow accompanied the night, like the sea Dongqing soaring in the sky, and arrived above their heads in a very short time, and then, a ball of fire began to collapse in their eyes.

Hengxiu looked at the strange deadly flames, looked at the collapsing city gatehouse, and had only one desperate thought in his heart: Jilin City, it's over......
