The gunpowder technology and application of the Ming Dynasty have long been very developed. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

It's just that using gunpowder to blow up the city gate is still the first use.

Purely in terms of explosive power, gunpowder is still far from explosive ~ ammunition.

However, in the process of exploding ice, the Changsheng battalion was already familiar with this explosion method, coupled with the application of gunpowder in the wartime of the Lushun guards before, and the sappers who operated it were already very skilled in this regard.

At this time, with the city gate being blown open, there is not much suspense about what follows.

The intersections on all sides have long been blocked, and the rest is just to catch turtles in the urn.

With the crisp sound of birds, the sound in the direction of Yangguan Fort became less and less until it disappeared.

In less than half an hour, Wang Hai and Xun Meng came to Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong together, Wang Hai knelt down excitedly and said: "General, fortunately not dishonored." Fort Yangguan has been taken. For the time being, the results of the battle have not been counted, and the humble position has been estimated, and there are about more than a dozen levels of real slave heads, and more than 100 levels of Han army flags. ”

Li Yuanqing smiled and nodded.

After the Lushun Garrison Battle, the Houjin side further reduced the strength in southern Liaoning, before Li Yuanqing came to Yangguan Fort, I was afraid of no less than 2 more than 2 Niu Lu's troops, but at this time, Yangguan Fort was less than half of Niu Lu's troops.

"Good. Go down and rest first. Li Yuanqing waved his hand at Wang Hai.

Wang Hai kowtowed to Li Yuanqing excitedly, and then left with joy.

Li Yuanqing smiled at Chen Zhong, "Leave 200 troops to control Yangguan Fort, and the army will immediately advance to Fuzhou." ”

"Yes."

As the order was swiftly circulated, the army lit its torches and marched northeast.

The team walked quickly, Wei Liang was frightened and tired, and he was already tossed enough, even his few Jinyi guards who only knew how to drink on Changsheng Island, their faces were not good-looking, and they were scary.

Wei Liang hurried to Li Yuanqing's side and said carefully: "General Li, you, look, the soldiers are tired from the night road, aren't they, do you want to rest for a while and then go on the road later?" ”

Li Yuanqing glanced at Wei Liang and suddenly smiled, "If the Lord of the Prison Army can't keep up, let's rest for a while." I will send someone to protect you. However, there may be a lot of Tartar rangers in this vicinity. I hope you can follow the main force......"

"Huh?" Wei Liang couldn't help but be taken aback.

There are Tartar rangers here, and they touched it, so what? Do you expect a few wine bags and rice bags around you to be guarded by brocade guards?

He hurriedly said: "General Li, the miscellaneous family, the miscellaneous family is just a proposal, and the military is always based on General Li." ”

Li Yuanqing smiled, "Don't worry, Lord Supervisor, when Fuzhou City is broken tomorrow morning, let's go to the city to have a good rest." ”

The itinerary of the procession was quite tight, and there was no pause at all.

Both of them are the main force, and they have been practicing for so many years, whether it is a soldier or an auxiliary soldier, there is no problem with physical strength, and there is not too much baggage, almost lightly traveled.

At this time, time is life and opportunity, and Li Yuanqing will not spare the soldiers' foot strength.

The capture of Yangguan Fort was about 10 o'clock in the evening, and in the early morning, at about half past 6 o'clock, the main force of the Changsheng Battalion and Chen Zhong's troops arrived at the city of Fuzhou as promised.

Li Yuanqing is no stranger to Fuzhou City.

It's just that the last time he came, it was to rescue Chen Zhong and Zhang Pan's main force, and it was raining heavily, so he didn't get close to Fuzhou City and carefully observed the movements of this city.

But at this time, the goal has been clear, and Li Yuanqing will not have too many reservations.

The army directly opened a formation at the west gate of Fuzhou City, and did not use the siege equipment such as cloud ladders, under the cover of hundreds of bird soldiers led by Shunzi, the five generals of the 1,000th corps, and the four generals of Chen Zhong's side, with a force of nearly 2,000 people, approached the west gate of Fuzhou.

At this time, the sky was already slightly bright, and the Tartars on the head of Fuzhou City quickly discovered the movements of Li Yuanqing's two Ming armies, and they couldn't help but exclaim.

Li Yuanqing was a mile away from Fuzhou City at this time, standing at this distance, although there was a hazy night cover, he could roughly see the situation on the west side of Fuzhou City.

Fuzhou is a big city in southern Liaoning, located in the plain, looking from a distance, it seems that there is no danger to defend.

Around, there are not too many trees, there is fertile arable land everywhere, and several small rivers converge into one large river, which slowly flows into the city.

In peaceful years, this must be a fertile feng shui treasure.

But it won't be long before this place will become the main battlefield of the death battle between Li Yuanqing and Hou Jin.

Li Yuanqing's goal is very clear, that is, to take Fuzhou City.

Except for the West Gate, Li Yuanqing did not send troops to the other three gates, if the Tartar wanted to run, even if he ran, he only needed Fuzhou City.

At this time, the vanguard of the Ming army had approached the city of Fuzhou, and under the cover of continuous birds, more than 100 sword and shield soldiers, guarding more than a dozen sappers, quickly leaned towards the city wall.

Junko is the vanguard leader of this battle.

Thanks to the blessing of his sister Zhang Yunniang, coupled with his close relationship with Li Yuanqing, this kid's official road is smooth all the way, at this time, he has been promoted to deputy thousand households, although nominally he is still under the command of the third thousand, but in fact, he is almost independent of another thousand corps.

"Dogs still dare to shoot arrows, sons, press these miscellaneous pieces down for me."

Shunzi was dressed in silver iron armor, holding a single sword, with more than ten personal guards around him, and behind him, there were two strong riders, two big flags, fluttering in the wind.

The main battle flag has the huge word 'Changsheng Camp Li' floating on it, and the smaller battle flag has the word 'Zhang' floating on it, which is his surname.

Beside him, there were more than a dozen messengers and a few standard-bearers holding small flags waiting for them, and they would transmit Junzi's instructions to the vanguard in the shortest time and in the fastest way.

At this time, with the order of Shunzi, the sound of birds on the side of the Ming army became more intensive, although it was shooting from a high place, but the Tartars on the head of the city could not raise their heads.

They had no choice but to shoot arrows into the sky, hoping that the parabola would inflict casualties on the Ming army.

However, the Ming army's bird guns were guarded by sword and shield soldiers and pikemen in front of them, and the wind was not small at this time, so it was difficult to cause real damage to the Ming army.

At this time, more than 100 sword and shield soldiers had already escorted more than a dozen sappers and rushed to the city gate.

Sappers are a valuable resource for the Immortal Battalion, especially the sappers in charge of blasting, even if they are ordinary soldiers, they are treated more than Xiaoqi.

At this time, each sapper carried a bag of explosives the size of a thick quilt, and the brothers desperately gave them the time they could, and they would not dare to waste even a penny.

Soon, under the command of a general flag commander, more than a dozen explosive packs were stacked together, and the commander personally wired, and under the protection of the sword and shield soldiers, they were distributed dozens of meters outward.

"It's ready here. Quickly send a flag to Shun Ye. ”

"Yes."

Immediately, there was a flag bearer, and he sent a flag to Junko.

In a moment, Junko's Bird Gun Battle Formation sent back the banner slogan, which meant, 'Do it.' ’

The engineer commander smiled, took out the flint, and quickly lit the fire hyacinth, "Hehe, dog Tartar, taste the taste of Lao Tzu's earthy plane." ”

As he spoke, he lit the fuse violently and whispered, "Sons, take a step back first." ”

Whether it was a sword and shield soldier, a pikeman, or a sapper around, they had already gained experience, and they quickly ran back a dozen steps and quickly lay on the ground.

At the top of the city, many Tartars only saw a fiery dragon flickering on the ground, and before they could react to what it was.

I only heard the sound of 'boom', a loud bang at the city gate, a huge wave of air, and I almost wanted to shake people away.

The city was full of ghosts and wolves, and the Tartar soldiers guarding it had no idea what was going on.

But by this time, the gates had been blown open, and the walls were broken.

How can Junko hesitate? The steel knife in his hand pointed forward sharply, "Sons, rush." The general watched behind us and took Fuzhou City. ”

"Rush. Take the city of Fuzhou. ”

The two soldiers couldn't wait for a long time, and like a big red torrent, they quickly rushed towards Fuzhou City.

Not far away, Chen Zhong couldn't help but smile, "Shunzi, this kid, has grown a lot." I can't run away from this first work. ”

Li Yuanqing smiled, "This kid is still young." It seems that we have to tell him about the family affairs as soon as possible, and put this kid's heart at ease first. ”

Although in the previous military marriage, Shunzi had many opportunities to choose, and there were also a few good girls, but Zhang Yunniang did not fall in love, she was such a younger brother, so naturally she couldn't let his marriage be hasty.

Although Li Yuanqing was a little dissatisfied with this, Shunzi was no one else, so Li Yuanqing also acquiesced.

As a superior, how can you not have a little privilege?

Chen Zhong smiled and nodded, but he had a thought in his heart, if he could have a good wife and a son on his side, the relationship between the two and the two departments would definitely be closer.

On the side, Kong Youde didn't have time to consider the thoughts of the two generals, his eyes had already been attracted by the battle array in front of him.

Since joining the Immortal Camp, it has brought him too much joy.

When he fried the ice, he participated in most of the process, and he also had a more comprehensive and stronger understanding of such things as gunpowder.

Although he had long expected that the effect would be good, he did not expect that the actual effect would be so good.

If this is the case, as long as the main force of Houjin can be defeated, the troops will come to Shenyang, and even take Shenyang City, it will not be difficult.

Returning to his hometown of Tieling, it seems that it is not so far away.

Li Yuanqing sensitively noticed Kong Youde's expression, and said with a smile: "Xiao Kong, how do you feel about this battle?" ”

"Huh?"

Kong Youde came back to his senses and said busily: "General, gunpowder is really a sharp weapon." If you can make good use of it, why worry about the immortality of Jiannu? I also want to return to my hometown in Tieling as soon as possible. ”

Li Yuanqing couldn't help laughing, "It's good if you have this thought." Study hard. It won't be long before you'll have a chance to do so. ”

Kong Youde couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly kowtowed to Li Yuanqing, this is Li Yuanqing's intention to delegate him.

Thinking that he was about to be able to really take charge of the army, Kong Youde's heart was about to explode with joy, "General Xie." The general's kindness to the humble post will never be forgotten. ”

Kong Youde respectfully kowtowed to Li Yuanqing.

Li Yuanqing smiled and helped him up, "Don't thank you so early." Wait a minute, you take 100 personal soldiers to the city to supervise the battle, any feelings, all in your mind, I will check later. ”

Kong Youde couldn't help but be more happy, "I'll prepare for this humble position." ”

Watching this kid leave in a hurry, the corners of Li Yuanqing's mouth couldn't help but curl up.

In the later Manchu Qing Dynasty's military formation, Kong Youde was famous for knowing firearms, as the 'Gongshun King' at the end of the period, Huang Taiji did give Kong Youde enough support, so that his light shined in this era.

At this time, this kid is so interested in firearms, how can Li Yuanqing be inferior to Huang Taiji?
