Chapter 628: The Tartar Is Gone?

Dorgon was coming out of the cellar cautiously as he fought back against the gap. It was silent, and no sound could be heard except for the occasional groans of pain from the wounded. The intermittent moaning adds a bit of silence out of thin air, making people feel very uneasy inside, as if they are a little creepy.

The shelling of the Tiger Army Navy seems to have really stopped, and the shelling has not been carried out for a long time. After Dolgon, the other remnants of the Tartars cautiously ran out of their hiding places, slowly probing outward. There was no way, they really didn't dare to be too far away from their hiding place, otherwise, once the shells of the Tiger Ben Navy continued to fall, they would suffer another catastrophe.

"Let's spread out and find a place to fight."

"Immortal Heaven bless you!"

Dorgon said weakly.

Under the obscenity of the naval artillery of the Tiger Ben Army, it is simply unrealistic to want to counterattack the Tiger Ben Army at the city gate. If they were to appear near the gates now, they would have been subjected to a brutal shelling and would have died in vain. The only thing that can be done now is for the Tartars to fight separately and see if there is a chance to fight with the Tiger Ben army who came into the city. Fight one is one, fight two to earn one.

"Let's go!"

After giving the order to fight separately, Dolgon also took a few of his own soldiers and quietly disappeared into the unknown alley. The other Tartars, you look at me, I look at you, and they are all helpless and dejected to find a place to hide by themselves. Soon, in the clearing, there were no more moving tartars.

……

Outside the north gate of Dengzhou City, Zhang Yin led his group of people and quickly approached the city gate hole. There was no movement at all on the city, and the expected musket shots, bows and arrows, all of which did not appear. The fighters who were in charge of monitoring in the back did not even see a single Tartar. Since the Tartars are so cooperative, the Tiger Ben Army is not welcome.

"**Bag!"

"Up!"

Gao Yu, who came later, waved his hand vigorously.

The Marine Corps used the same fifty-pound ** bag. However, they just put ten of these ** bags in the hole of the city gate. Since Zhang Zhun estimated that five hundred catties of black ** would be able to meet the needs, they would save a little. After a while, the five hundred catties of black ** were all stacked. The Demoman lit the fuse and quickly ran away.

"Boom!"

An earth-shattering loud bang came, and the smoke of gunpowder filled the air, and debris flew everywhere.

After the smoke cleared, the north gate tower of Dengzhou City collapsed without exception, forming a steep slope. On the top of the slope, a large number of bricks, gravel, and dirt rolled down. And all kinds of debris that were blown into the air by the violent explosion also fell at this time, as if it was a strange rain, shattering everything around it.

"Up!"

Gao Yu waved his hand and rushed forward with his team.

The Tartars of Dengzhou City did not react at all, I don't know if they were blown up, or if they had no strength to fight back, so they let the Tiger Ben Army climb up the slope. The slope made of bricks, gravel, and mud is very difficult to walk, and Gao Yu, Zhang Yin and others are all staggering, and they are constantly coughing during the period. Fortunately, they have not been attacked by the Tartars.

It was a long time before Gao Yu and the others came up to the top of the slope. He froze and held up the clairvoyant mirror to look around. To his great surprise, there was not a single Tartar near the gap! Yes, he was in the clairvoyant, and he didn't see a single Tartar!

"Not a single one?"

Gao Yu looked at the seal beside him with a puzzled face, and said to himself.

"Maybe it's hiding."

The seal also felt very strange, and after a careful search around, after the smoke gradually dissipated, he finally found the hiding place of the Tartar. It turned out that the Tartars didn't know whether it was intentional or not, and the place where they hid was actually more than ten zhang away from the city gate hole. As a result, when the gate hole was blown up, they did not suffer major damage. Because the smoke at the scene of the explosion dissipated very slowly, Gao Yu didn't notice them just now.

"The Tartars don't have many troops."

Gao Yu's hanging heart was slowly put down.

Most of the main forces of the Tartars may be in the south city, and only a small number of them can be seen on the north side of the city. No rebels were seen for the time being. After the smoke slowly drifted away, there were only about fifty or sixty people in Gao Yu's sight. In terms of quantity, it is indeed not much. It stands to reason that there should be at least 500 Tartars defending such a key position as the North Gate. There are only a few dozen, which is indeed too few.

"Kill them before you move forward."

Gao Yu shouted decisively.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

The Marines at the gap opened fire.

The number of Tartars in the northern city is indeed not much. Finding that the city gate had been blown open, they were all a little dazed for a while. Probably afraid of the black smoke formed by the explosion, and the choking smell of gunpowder, these Tartars did not fight back at the first time. As a result, as soon as the Tiger Army gained a foothold, they immediately became the target of shooting.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

The Marines kept firing, and the Mini kept whizzing past.

Those sporadic Tartars, under the fire of Mini bullets, had no chance to resist at all, and fell one after another. Someone tried to bend their bow and arrow to return fire at the Marines, but was hit first by Mini's bullet and fell headlong to the ground. The remnants of the Tartar hurriedly turned around and ran, quickly sneaking behind the shattered building and disappearing.

At this time, the team led by Zhu Chengtai also came up. The two squads of the Tiger Army Marines naturally had no problem dealing with the sporadic dozens of Tartars who had been blown up a little muddy. It's a pity that all the Tartars, like rats, disappeared with agility. No matter how fast Minnie's bullets were, they couldn't run away.

Subsequently, Lu Liangyu's team also came up quickly. A moment later, Fang He and Liu Dong also came up. Near the gap, there were already all Marines soldiers. They also went up the slopes to the walls on both sides, carefully searching for the remnants of the tartars. As a result, nothing was found. Except for the corpses of some Tartars, there is not a single living Tartar. This abnormal situation was quickly reflected in the various teams.

"Two bosses, will there be fraud?"

Lu Liangyu said cautiously.

The Tartars' counterattack is indeed too weak, a little unbelievably weak. According to their original estimates, the Tartars will fight back desperately. The battle for the breakthrough will be very fierce. The officers were even mentally prepared for some casualties. As a result, when they reached the breach, they found that all the Tartars were gone. It's no wonder they're suspicious, it's so perverse.

"Cover each other and push slowly."

Fang He thought for a moment and said in a deep voice.

"Be careful."

Liu Dong also said cautiously.

The Tartars' counterattack is too strong, and it always gives the feeling of luring the enemy deep. The Marines are only three hundred people, and relatively speaking, the strength is still relatively weak, and in case they fall into the ambush circle of the Tartars, the situation will be more troublesome. Therefore, the two did not dare to take it lightly. Fortunately, they have liaison officers to contact with the naval flag, and as long as they wave the red pennant in their hands vigorously, the navy's artillery can be overwhelmingly smashed over.

After Fang He and Liu Dong discussed, it was decided that Lu Liangyu's team was in the middle, Gao Yu's team was on the left, and Zhu Chengtai's team was on the right, going hand in hand. The distance between each other is definitely no more than a street. If something is wrong, immediately withdraw to the vicinity of the breach, and then call in naval artillery to cover it.

Every soldier of the Marine Corps is holding a tiger and a hammer and slowly advancing. His eyes looked around vigilantly. The buildings around Beicheng are basically smashed and damaged, which can be described as unrecognizable. Many of the buildings have also collapsed, leaving many gaps and potholes in the middle where people can hide. If there are Tartars hiding inside, it's really hard to tell. However, strangely enough, they walked along the way, passing through several buildings, and there was not a single tartar inside.

Several commanders of the Marine Corps had to gather again to discuss this unusual scenario in front of them. Abnormal, so abnormal. The weirdness of the Tartar made them all think that there must be something wrong with this. They all guessed that the Tartars must have been somewhere, laying a trap and waiting for them to fall in. For the sake of safety, they decided to advance to the position of the prefect's yamen, so they stopped their advance so as not to fall into the trap of the Tartars.

Soon, the prefect's yamen was in sight.

The prefect's yamen of Dengzhou Mansion is actually very grand. It used to be the yamen of the governor of Shandong, and later, the governor of Shandong moved to Jinan Mansion, and it became the prefect of them. Later, the governor of Denglai was established, and it became the yamen of the governor of Denglai. But because everyone is used to calling them, they are still called prefects. In fact, its real name should be the governor of Denglai.

The roof of the prefect's yamen, as well as the walls, were smashed to the point of not being in shape. The bluestone pavement in front of the door was also smashed with potholes. On the steps in front of the prefect's yamen, there was the corpse of a Tartar, whose blood seemed to have congealed. He was obviously killed directly by the solid bullets of the Tiger Ben Navy, half of his body was gone, and he didn't know where he flew.

"There may be Tartars in there!"

"Everyone, be careful!"

Fang He cautiously reminded.

Under the cover of his companions, Zhang Yin took the lead in rushing in with more than a dozen people.

There was no one inside.

Not a single tartar.

Well, not a single living tartar to be exact. There were several Tartar corpses lying here and there on the ground, which looked like they had been stoned to death by solid naval bullets. Inside the prefect's yamen, there is a mess everywhere. It seems that there should have been people before, but now, no one can see it.

"Careful search."

"See if there's a dark room or a cellar or anything like that."

Fang He cautiously gave the order.

The soldiers of the Marine Corps searched carefully.

Because it was ravaged by the navy's artillery, the entire prefect's yamen looked like a mess, the ground was full of debris, garbage, and even and urine that people had. There was a strong stench in the air. This disgusting smell was so strong that some Marines had to take out the paper shell ammunition and put it in front of their noses. They need the smell of gunpowder to wash away the stench.

"My lord, there's a cellar here!"

Suddenly, a warrior shouted loudly.

The surrounding marines immediately outflanked this side.

Liu Dong came over and took a closer look, and found that this was the location of the prefect's yamen's warehouse, and in the middle of the house, there was an entrance to a cellar. The entrance to the cellar is locked with a copper lock, and the door is a thick solid wooden panel. Liu Dong stepped forward and pushed, but the wooden door did not move.

"Explode it!"

Liu Dong immediately ordered.

Immediately, a blaster came up, and in front of the wooden door, two ** bags were placed.

"Boom!"

A moment later, there was a loud bang, and the wooden door was blown open.

Zhang Yin and the others covered each other and slowly went deep into the cellar.

The cellar was so dark that they couldn't see anything, so they lit torches. As a result, when they entered the cellar, they were all stunned when they saw everything in front of them.

Silver!

Gold!

That's right, all the things stored in this cellar are silver and gold! The silver was stacked neatly one by one, forming a hill. The white glow is dazzling. The shape of gold is more complicated, and there are all kinds of things. The golden light is equally dazzling.

Zhang Yin couldn't estimate how much gold and silver wealth was in this cellar, in short, it would not be less than 100,000 taels. He picked up a silver tael and found that it weighed about five taels. And this mountain of silver is estimated to have at least tens of thousands of ingots. The amount of gold may also be several thousand taels.

In addition to gold and silver, there were many chests at the other end of the cellar. They opened the boxes one by one, and they were filled with some pearls, jade, jade, agate, gold necklaces, gold rings, gold earrings and other jewelry, as if they had been taken from a person's body. Some of them still have faint blood stains on them.

"Don't you even want silver for the Tartars?"

Fang He and Liu Dong came into the cellar to take a look, and after being surprised, they were full of suspicion. Indeed, the gold, silver and jewels in this cellar are even more suspicious of the Marines of the Tiger Army. The tartar is gone, but the silver is still here, what is the reason? Could it be that the Tartars have disappeared out of thin air?

"Seal the cellar!"

"Keep searching for the Tartars!"

Fang He and Liu Dong quickly made a decision.

As a result, the cellar was soon resealed, and the Marines continued to search for traces of the Tartars.

"Did you find a tartar?"

"Nope."

"Did you find a tartar?"

"Nope."

Voices like this come and go.

However, there was no Tartar figure, as if all the Tartars had disappeared in an instant. So, where are the Tartars hiding?
