"Ten Thousand Enemies" is a kind of giant bomb developed by the Daming Firearms Bureau, weighing 40 catties, which first appeared in the Wanli period.

After Zhu Youjian took charge of the Firearms Bureau, he made improvements on the original foundation, and now this kind of giant bomb weighs 80 catties, which is close to the weight of an adult.

Fortunately, the North Sea Fleet is in the open sea and keeps in touch with the marines at any time, and these two "10,000 enemies" are transported by the fleet

The Ming army took advantage of the change in the sky and successfully placed the "10,000 enemies" on the city gate, but the Jurchen soldiers in the city were not aware of it at all.

"Boom...... Boom......"

With two loud bangs, the wooden gate was blown to pieces, and even a large part of the city walls on both sides collapsed.

The Jurchen soldiers leaning against the city gate were swept into the air by a huge wave of air and experienced a bungee jump, but their bodies were not tied with safety ropes.

Before they landed, their bodies had already completed the material exchange - the loss was flesh and blood, the introduction of iron spikes and sawdust, there were a few soldiers, and before they landed, their bodies were like such and such an empire, which had been divided into countless small countries.

The soldiers at the head of the city also felt a huge shock wave, the soldiers all felt tightness in their chests and ringing in their ears, and two Jurchen soldiers, holding their ears, rolled all over the ground on the city, and hit the daughter wall with their heads.

With the help of the glimmer of dawn, Li Changshan saw that the city gate of the black hole was wide open, and he immediately ordered: "Brothers, charge and enter the city." ”

More than 10,000 gunmen entered the city, and the hundreds of Jurchen soldiers in the city could only be slaughtered, because of the language barrier, they couldn't even be taken prisoner.

The biggest gain of the Ming army was the more than 1,000 war horses in the city, and these Jurchen war horses were fully equipped with a cavalry regiment by Li Changshan.

More than 10,000 stones of grain were also found in the city, but the marines did not plan to use it, they did not have grain trucks, besides, their supplies were very sufficient, just on the ships by the sea, Li Changshan planned that these grains would be left for the Dongjiang Army that came to take over the defense, and grain was their most scarce material.

The 1st Marine Division was stationed in the city for only one night, and when the sun rose again, they continued to move north along the coastline with cavalry as the lead, while the 2nd and 3rd Marine Divisions were temporarily stationed in Yongning City, waiting for the Dongjiang Army to take over.

The next city was Gaizhou, which was already the defense area of Dolgon's white flag.

There are still twenty Niulu left in Dolgon, but five Niulu are stationed in Liaoyang, and there are eleven Niulu on the east bank of the Sancha River to block Yuan Chonghuan's army, and in the vast area from Anshan to Gaizhou, there are only two Niulu, and each city is only about half a Niulu, but in each city, Dolgon temporarily armed two Niulu Han people.

Gaizhou is 200 miles northeast of Yongning, and is already close to the lower reaches of the Sancha River.

After Li Changshan arrived in Gaizhou, he didn't say a word, and first surrounded Gaizhou City.

Nearly 10,000 marines surrounded the city of Gaizhou, but not far to the north, there was Yaozhou, which was occupied by the Jurchens, and the Jurchen No. 3 tent in the lower reaches of the Sancha River.

The 1st Marine Division insisted on shooting the defenders at the head of the city with flintlock pistols, and at the end of the day, the defenders who were killed and wounded under the flintlock pistols were no less than 100 people, but the city had no intention of surrendering or abandoning the city at all, and Li Changshan was secretly anxious.

The Jurchens in the north may send rangers to investigate at any time, and now Yuan Chonghuan is facing off with Dolgon on the Sancha River, and the blue flag in the east may also search the area of Gaizhou.

The next day, the Ming army strafed at Simen for a morning, Li Changshan was already preparing for a strong attack, although the strong attack would increase casualties, but just like that, the first division of the land was more dangerous, and it was facing multiple forces of Jurchen cavalry at any time.

In the afternoon, Li Changshan inspected the north gate, and Hou Wenxing, commander of the First Marine Brigade, had just killed two defenders, "the division is ......"

"Wenxing, how's it going?"

"Master, the Jurchens have learned to be cunning, they generally hide in the back of the city wall, and they can't ...... Just killed two Jurchen soldiers, but if this continues, when will the Jurchens in the city be killed? ”

Li Changshan nodded, "Wenxing, let's do it, we will attack tomorrow, there are more shots in this day, and it is estimated that there are not many defenders in the city." ”

"Division, the 1st Brigade requests the main attack."

"Well, in the afternoon, hurry up to control the cloud ladder, and tomorrow morning, you will attack, Commander Yuan's 100,000 army is waiting for our response in Hexi!"

"Yes, Shizuo, let's fight for half a day to break through Gaizhou City."

"Wenxing, although we have the advantage of flintlock pistols, but the Jurchen soldiers are extremely strong, don't worry, fight steadily, I won't set a time for you to break the city."

"Yes, Master, my subordinates understand—huh? Master, why did the city gate open? Could it be our inquiry? ”

Li Changshan looked up and saw that the north city gate had just opened a slit and quickly closed again.

A young soldier, with a scimitar in his hand but no Jurchen leather armor, was trembling and walking through the city gate hole.

He turned back three times at a time, as if he was thinking about something. When his eyes met Li Changshan and Hou Wenxing, he was almost trembling with fright, and the scimitar in his hand was also thrown on the ground.

"Master, what is this Jurchen soldier going to do? Could it be that he was sent by the Jurchens to negotiate peace? ”

"No matter what the reason, bring him over and then talk about it, seeing that he is cowering, he must be a soft egg, don't scare him for the time being."

"Yes, Master."

The soldier was quickly brought to Li Changshan, and without waiting for Li Changshan to ask, he puffed and knelt down in front of Li Changshan.

Li Changshan also wondered, when did the Jurchen soldiers start to take the initiative to kneel? Could it be that they have been frightened by the flintlock pistols of the Ming army?

"Who are you? Why go out of town? Hou Wenxing pointed with his hand, and his voice was not too harsh.

"General, I am a Han citizen in the city." The man gave Li Changshan and Hou Wenxing three kowtows respectfully.

"Han people? What the hell is going on? How can you hold the Jurchen scimitar in your hands? Li Changshan raised his hand and motioned for him to get up and speak.

"General, the little one is called Liu He, it turned out to be the Han people in the city, and he has been making a living by farming, but recently, Lord Belle issued a military order to recruit two Han soldiers from Niu Lu in the city, and the little one was arrested and taken to the barracks."

"Han Army Niulu?" Li Changshan looked at it carefully, no matter how he looked at it, this Liu He didn't look like a soldier, "Then what are you doing out of the city?" Is there something you want to say to us? ”

"General, save the little Hun family!" Liu He kowtowed to Li Changshan and Hou Wenxing again, maybe he felt that Li Changshan's official position was greater, and when he kowtowed to Li Changshan, his forehead hit the ground with a bang.

"What the hell is going on with you getting up and talking?"

"General, the little ones were originally living well in the city, but the Jurchen soldiers who were originally stationed in the city were all transferred, and later, a team of soldiers was transferred," Liu He blew his nose, "As soon as they entered the city, they didn't do anything, so they looked for women among the people......"

"What does it have to do with you looking for a woman?"

Liu He was already crying: "Little one...... The small Hun family...... has a bit of a posture, and they take a fancy to it...... They forced the little Hun family to ...... rushed into the barracks, the small ones did not obey, and they were ...... They whipped me ......"

"Then why are you still serving as soldiers?"

"General, the little ones don't want to be soldiers, but ...... However, they forcibly arrested the villain into the barracks, and let the small one defend the city, and the small one estimated that they wanted to kill the little one, so as to occupy the small Hun family......"

"Ao ......" Li Changshan finally figured it out, "Then what are you doing out of the city?" ”

"General, there are more than a dozen people who have been robbed of the Hun family like the small one, they are all at the head of the north city gate now, it turned out that there were two Jurchen soldiers at the head of the city, and now they were all killed by you, and the small ones are going to open the city gate for you, as long as you can save our Hun family."

"As long as we can enter the city, we will definitely rescue your Hun family, these Jiannu - how many Jiannu are in the city?"

"There were originally a hundred Jurchen soldiers in the city, but yesterday and today, you killed a dozen, and now there are less than ninety Jurchen soldiers in the city."

"Ninety?" Li Changshan didn't know whether to be excited or annoyed, only 90 soldiers, he blocked more than 10,000 soldiers of the First Marine Division for two days, this is really a big joke, "What are you telling the truth?" ”

"The conscience of heaven and earth, what the villain says is the truth, the villain is willing to stay in the army as a hostage, and the villain only asks the general to rescue the villain's Hun family."

Li Changshan looked at the head of the city, and there were several eyes faintly shooting down on the head of the city, probably because they were afraid of flintlock pistols and did not dare to stay at the battlement for too long.

"Teacher's ......"

"Wenxing, what do you think?"

"Master, this Han man is not a person we are familiar with, and his words may not be credible."

"I think it's a little credible," Li Changshan glanced at Liu He, "Dolgon wants to defend the Sancha River with all his might, and there shouldn't be too many Jurchen soldiers in Gaizhou City, and, in retrospect, I seem to have heard the wounded soldiers on the city screaming in Chinese." ”

"Master, I seem to have heard it too."

"That means that there are really many Han people in the city, and the Jurchen soldiers in the city are already strict and insufficient."

"Shizuo is ready to enter the city?"

"Wenxing is willing to give up such a good opportunity?" Li Changshan was overjoyed in his heart, he never dreamed that he would receive a big gift at the North City Gate.

"Master, what if it's a trap?"

"Even if there are traps, don't be afraid," Li Changshan shook his head, "Even if there are ambushes in the city, there will not be too many, and besides, the cavalry in the city will not be able to give full play to the advantage of speed at all, and even if there are ambushes, they will not be able to deal with our flintlock guns, so I plan to enter the city to see it myself." ”

"No, Master, it's too dangerous."

"It is precisely because of the danger that I am going to enter the city myself, and I am going to personally direct this battle."

"Shizuo, if the situation is like what Liu He said, we succeed in breaking the city, just get a small city that is almost empty, in case it is a trap of the Jurchens, our losses will be great, Shizuo is the soul of the first division of the land war, and its own safety is much more important than a small city, if you enter the city, let your subordinates go!"

"You?"

"Master, you can't bet on His Majesty's Northern Expedition."

Li Changshan also thought about it, he is now the commander of the First Marine Division, and he is still in command of the Second and Third Divisions for the time being; if there is a mistake, not only will the First Division lose its ability to fight, but it is very likely that the entire Right Route Army will have a huge impact.

"Okay, it's up to you to enter the city, you must pay attention to safety, find that the situation is wrong, and slowly retreat."
