"What's going on?"

The captives also heard the sound of artillery.

Turg immediately asked.

His guards quickly ran out, and soon returned, reporting that Turg was a Ming army firing artillery, but the shot was missed, and I don't know where it went.

Turg forced himself to relax, and smiled at the other captive chieftains: "These southern barbarians are playing tricks again. We know we can't beat us. I think I'm scared. ”

The other chieftains did not agree, and Turg had to do the work of these chiefs every day for the past few days, encouraging them to hold on for a few more days.

But all the captive chieftains, especially the two Mongol beylers, had no desire to fight.

Complaining to him all day long about who was sick, the horse was thin, and so on, made Turg annoyed but did not dare to force it, so he could only persuade him softly, the Mongols were okay, as long as they did not dare to tear their faces with the Manchus and go to the Ming Dynasty, they would not dare to withdraw their troops without authorization.

Yu Ding, the warrior of the three banners, is also fine, that is the minions of Huang Taiji, at this time he is quite obedient, the most difficult to deal with, but the people he inlaid with the white flag, these people are nominally under the direct command of Turge, but they are all the minions of the banner owner Duoduo, and they have always been the first rat at both ends, swinging on both sides of Duoduo and Turge, in fact, it reflects the power struggle between Huang Taiji and Duoduo in the white flag.

Now these people are complaining openly and secretly like him, they are the most unstable group of people now, and they are also the most difficult group of people in Turg.

If he forces them now, these people will definitely throw themselves to Duoduo's side in the future, if this happens, Huang Taiji will not spare him Turg, and there will be no place for him after the white flag.

It wasn't until yesterday that Turg had to cut off the heads of one of his direct leaders, Jia Lazhangjing and three Niu Lu Ezhen, to temporarily suppress this unhealthy trend, those who were personally led by him Turg were armed forces, but they could only kill their own people. so as not to cause panic among others.

Today, Turg once again gathered the chieftains of the captives, and he had to continue to pacify, but he didn't expect the Ming army to shoot artillery.

Haizhou City. Countless soldiers and civilians felt pity because the cannon actually hit the mountain.

I can't help but complain that the gunner is too poor. How can you hit the mountains, the camp of captives is so big, you can hit it with your eyes closed.

The gunner also held back a big red face, continued to reload with his head stuffy, adjusted the amount of gunpowder, and held his strength to hit the target with the next shot.

The redcoat cannon is very troublesome to reload, and after one fire, it must be filled with water into the chamber. Extinguishing the fire, tying a dry cloth to a stick and sticking it into the chamber to dry it, filling it with gunpowder and combustibles, stuffing the shell, and then lighting it out is quite slow and tedious.

In addition, if you use a gun carriage, you have to re-aim and reset, and even the battery needs to check the wooden wedge and reinforce it.

It took a quarter of an hour. The cannon was back in position, and the gunner asked for instructions, and then fired the second shot.

This time, Yang Chao is much smarter. In fact, everyone is smart, and they all cover their ears honestly, and the roar is really hurtful.

There was another roar, and although the ears were better, there was still a little buzzing, and the chest and abdomen were still the same as they had just been.

Yang Chao didn't care about this, and saw the cannonball fly high, cut an arc, and then smashed into the captive barracks. Swept down a tent of the captive barracks.

Cheers rang out, and the gunner's face was triumphant. Finally raised his morale, and then continued the reloading process in an orderly manner.

Yang Chao is also more satisfied. But what I was thinking about was whether to leave this shed to keep out the rain and go outside, I really couldn't stand this kind of shock, well, if there should be a good excuse to go outside, that is, to share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers, and get wet in the rain together!

Without waiting for Yang Chao to decide to go out, the gunner reloaded, and after consulting Yang Chao, he fired another shot.

The shot was crooked again, slanted a little, and hit the nearby hillside.

The gunner continued to reload without a sigh of silence.

Next, it's either crooked or high.

Yang Chao didn't care anymore, and walked slowly across the city wall, encouraging his soldiers.

When these soldiers saw Yang Chao, their faces were filled with a feeling of admiration, although they were a little depressed these days, but some soldiers had begun to regard Yang Chao as a hero, and this emotion was more obvious on Minzhuang's face, and it was more fanatical.

Men worship heroes, it has been the same since ancient times, Yang Chao can take these people to fight with the captives equally, and he wins more with less, which still makes people's blood boil and full of pride.

Seeing that he didn't walk in front of a soldier, the soldier puffed up his chest and looked warm, Yang Chao himself was quite proud, and the feeling of being admired was still very good.

Yang Chao is no longer interested in looking at the artillery, because Yang Chao just wants to hit the captive soldiers, and he has no hope for the result at all, and the facts have also proved that the red-coated cannon is accurate, it is estimated that it will be bombarded for two or three days, and it may not be able to kill the young captive soldiers.

In the camp of the captives, Turg was also relaxed, the cannon just now really scared him, which showed at least two problems and hidden dangers.

The first Haizhou City has a red-clothed cannon that gives them a headache, which they never thought about before, because this is just a small city, with their experience, they should not have it, they didn't find it for thousands of miles in the Ming Dynasty, but they didn't expect to be unlucky to encounter it in Haizhou.

The second hidden danger is that the Ming army has artillery that can defeat them, which means that their battalion is always under the threat of the other party, and the other party will fight them if they want to, although it may not be able to kill or injure much, but the blow to morale is too great.

But what worries Turg the most is how the Ming army got the red-coated cannons, if so, why didn't they take them out to fight before, if they didn't have it in the past, but now they have, obviously it can't be sent from outside, then there is only one possibility, the Ming army cast it itself.

The Ming army is in the city, and there will probably be no shortage of bow and arrow materials, and it is not strange to make cannons, but Turg is worried, not worried about this red-coated cannon, but about the ability of the Ming army to make cannons, because now there is one, does it mean that other red-coated cannons will appear soon, who dares to say that your Ming army will cast one cannon at a time?

Thinking that his battalion will encounter the bombardment of many red-coated cannons every day in the future, if he is like those guys in Liaodong, there are hundreds of cannons in the city that are bombarded day and night, then how can he play?

No one was willing to continue to besiege Haizhou, but now that they encounter such a thing, how can they insist.

And just that one shot just now, breaking a few tents, injuring a few coats, and startling a few horses, had already made his subordinates cry, saying that they couldn't hold on, so that his pacification and suppression in the past few days had lost their effect, and his subordinates died in vain.

"Hmph, it's just that I injured a few Baoyi Ahba, not a single warrior died, what are you panicking about, not only can't you leave now, but you must also fight back, otherwise you should be ridiculed by the Ming army, our Eight Banners warriors can't afford to lose this person!"

Turg used a radical general, and it was really difficult for him, as a captive chief who had never read since he was a child, and learned to fight by hunting and killing, but now he has no choice but to fight all kinds of fighting eyes, all kinds of black politics, and this life is really not happy.

"Turg is true, it's not that everyone doesn't want to fight, it's not that I, the Qing Dynasty warriors are afraid, it's really tired after a long battle, and there are too many injuries. In all fairness, I've been afraid of anyone. It's just that I'm too tired, and everyone knows that this battle can't go on. Ezhen gave me a word, when will I retire from the army? ”

Suddenly, Baya Lajangin Hilgen, who was in the yellow flag, spoke.

Turge's heart couldn't help but be cold, finally came, Hilgen is the commander of the Zhenghuang Banner, that is, the commander of the Bayala Barracks of the Zhenghuang Banner, the Zhenghuang Banner is the banner directly under the Emperor Taiji, and Hilgen is the commander of the emperor's personal army with the root of the Miaohong, he has spoken, it seems that the military heart is really useless.

And looking at the looks on the faces of the others, they were not surprised at all, it was obvious that they had already discussed it secretly with Hilgen.

Now that even the people on the Three Banners are unstable, how can this battle be fought, just rely on the people directly under him Turg? And the minions under his direct command are also resentful because of their own killing, beating, spanking.

I sighed in my heart, knowing that the general trend had gone.

But Turg still had to hold on to hope: "Okay, since Hilgenzhangjing has spoken, then set a date, ten days, and after ten days we will withdraw from the army." Within ten days, Ben really doesn't want to hear any words about retreating, otherwise there will be no forgiveness! ”

Turg's cold speech made the others feel cold, no one dared to brush the tiger's whiskers at this time, anyway, he finally let Turg give in, and finally set a date, isn't it just ten days, anyway, it has lasted so long, and the more ten days of forbearance will pass.

So no one objected, and one by one they quit and left the camp, and no one wanted to stay with the raging Turg.

But then they heard another cannon shot, and then felt the whole camp shake.

Yang Chao was communicating with the soldiers one by one, walked over to help the soldiers sort out their armor, and patted the shoulders to make the soldiers' chests stand even more up.

But suddenly I heard an exclamation, and I couldn't help but look curiously, and saw many soldiers, looking in the direction of the captive camp, and even the gunners stopped reloading and looked at the Qishan camp stupidly.

Yang Chao looked over, but saw that above the mountainside of Qishan Mountain, a large area of trees was moving, as if walking.

Yang Chao couldn't help but be stunned.

I saw that as the trees moved faster and faster, a large area of the mountain followed and fell directly into the captive camp halfway up the mountain, and half of the barracks was filled in in an instant.

The gunner trembled, and his legs trembled.

Many soldiers also felt frightened at this time, and many of them murmured: The mountain god is angry, the mountain god is angry! (To be continued).
