"Report!" Liu Zhaoji was about to continue, when he heard Wang Zecheng's voice outside the door, and hurriedly asked him to come in.

"The city saw that there seemed to be movement in the Qing army's camp, and it seemed that they were preparing to attack the city." Wang Zecheng came in to report.

"Oh, it seems that the Qing soldiers are going to fight to the death?" Shi Kefa was a little worried, after all, the Qing army was too numerous, and the defensive strength in the city was very weak, even if the Qing army was attached to attack the city, it would be very difficult to deal with.

Ren Minyu and several other civil officials also showed worried looks on their faces, Zhang Tianlu glanced at Luo Jian, as if blaming Luo Jian for annoying Duoduo by storming the Qing camp in the morning, and now they are going to attack the city to take revenge.

"Haha, Duoduo is going to retire!" Luo Jian laughed.

"Why is that?" Ren Minyu was a little puzzled.

"Duoduo wants to leave, but he is unwilling, he thinks that we fought a battle in the morning, it is estimated that our firearms have been used almost, and finally I want to fight, anyway, he does not care about the lives of the Han army." Luo Jian explained, and Li Qifeng shuddered when he heard this.

"Overseer, shall we go up to the castle tower to have a look?" Luo Jian greeted Shi Kefa and said.

"You all go back and defend strictly, you must not let the Qing soldiers attack the city wall, and if there is any danger, report it in time." Shi Kefa said to the generals, and everyone agreed.

Luo Jian went out to greet Xiao Liu and Xiao Wang to prepare for battle, and called Wang Zecheng to come over and explain: "You take your people to get some grenades, just guarantee five per person, and these people of yours will be on standby at the West Gate as a reserve, and they will go to rescue wherever there is danger, understand?" ”。

Wang Zecheng responded "understood" and turned back to find Wang Qiang to receive the grenade.

When everything was ready, Luo Jian pulled Shi Kefa and Ren Minyu into the car and drove towards the west gate.

Shi Kefa sat in the car once, but it was okay, but it was strange for Ren Minyu to get in the car.

Duoduo stayed on the hillside behind the big tent for a long time, and sent the Ming army out of the city back to the city with his eyes, his face was so black that all the generals around him hid far away, lest Duoduo send fire to himself.

This time, Duoduo didn't get angry, stared at Yangzhou City for a while, turned over and galloped towards the big tent. When the generals saw it, they hurriedly mounted their horses and followed closely.

Duoduo was lucky, Luo Jian's armored car rushed only seven or eight hundred meters away from the big tent when he heard Liu Zhaoji's call, turned around to rescue the two people, and didn't have time to destroy his handsome tent, which allowed Duoduo to sit on the chair of the handsome tent and give orders.

The generals had already come to the front of the tent and stood on both sides, and Kong Youde stood in the middle of the column trembling, for fear that Duoduo would trouble him.

Duoduo's eyes carefully swept the generals standing below, but found that Li Yuchun, the former Sizhou guard, was missing.

This Li Yuchun was also appointed by Duoduo a few days ago, and went to the city to persuade Shi Kefa to surrender, but was reprimanded, and came back to Duoduo to complain that Shi Kefa did not know what to do, and was determined to resist to the end.

"Why didn't Li Yuchun come here?" Duoduo jumped out word by word, and it was clear that his anger was almost uncontrollable.

"Back to Prince Yu, Li Yuchun was killed by the earth-shattering thunder of the Ming army when he was resisting the left side of the Ming army." Xu Dingguo happened to know about this, when Ma Yingkui threw a grenade to blow up Li Yuchun, he happened to be not far away, and when he saw it, he was so frightened that he slapped his horse and ran out three or four miles directly. Now seeing that Duoduo asked about Li Yuchun, he hurriedly came out and answered.

Duoduo was silent for a long time, and the whole tent was so quiet that a pin could be heard falling to the ground.

"What can I do now?" After a long time, it was Dordor himself who broke the silence.

"King Yu, Yangzhou Ming army firearms are sharp, Yangzhou is no longer available, there is a strange car in the city, the siege is afraid that it can't, in the eyes of the last general, it is better to retreat and do another picture." Han Dai, the secretary of the military department, came out and said.

"The Ming army's continuous firing is really powerful, although my white-armored soldiers are well-armored, they are unstoppable, so we can only be beaten passively if we stay here, as Han Dai said, it is the best policy to retreat." Turai also took the initiative to stand up.

History proves that traitors never put the life and death of their fellow clansmen in mind in order to please their new masters, Kong Youde's eyes rolled around below, and he took the initiative to stand up again.

"Lord Yu, the last general thinks that although our army has suffered a small defeat today, its strength has not suffered a big loss. When the Ming army returns to the city in victory, it will be celebrated greatly, and the defense in the city will be lax, and if our army immediately attacks the city on all sides as discussed yesterday, it is not known whether it will succeed. Besides, there are not many parts of my camp that were impacted this morning, and since yesterday, the siege equipment must have been prepared properly, how to plan, please make a decision to King Yu. ”

To this day, Duoduo really regrets why he had to wait for the arrival of the red-coated cannon to attack the city, such as the siege of Yangzhou immediately, I am afraid that this strange car has not arrived, and the city has been broken. He didn't know that this intelligent system was pinching the time point to teleport Luo Jian and them back, if he attacked the city in advance, the original history would be different, and the time when Luo Jian and his party came would be different.

After thinking about it again and again, this fat meat that had reached the side of his mouth could not be eaten, Duoduo was really unwilling, gritted his teeth, and finally made up his mind.

"Order the 40,000 Han army to step up preparations, and when the preparations are ready, attack the city from all sides at the same time, this battle must break the city, Turai led 2,000 men and horses with white flags to supervise the battle, if there is a poor siege, behead!"

Duoduo's order made a group of Han army generals cry bitterly, from yesterday afternoon to today, how can all the siege equipment be prepared at this time, now there are no siege vehicles and trebuchets, except for taking cloud ladders to attack the city, there is no other way.

All the generals went out to prepare, but Duoduo stopped Han Dai and said with a calm face: "The result of this siege is unpredictable, if the siege cannot be stopped, we have to withdraw our troops." I thought about it again and again, and first returned to Tianchang County and then made plans. After you go down, quickly prepare the rear army to withdraw, and if the siege is unfavorable, withdraw immediately. ”

Duoduo is really helpless to make this decision, although there are many generals under his command now, but the majority of them have recently surrendered to the Ming army, if the war goes well, these people will definitely be obedient, once the war is unfavorable, these people will not be variable, Duoduo is really uncertain in his heart.

Shi Kefa, Luo Jian and his entourage came to the West Gate Tower, which was the focus of the Qing army's siege, which was determined by the topography of the West Gate. When the group went up to the city tower, Luo Jian looked up and saw that the Qing soldiers had surrounded Yangzhou City from all directions.

Raising the binoculars to observe carefully, I saw that most of these Qing soldiers were still dressed as Ming troops, and they must have just surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, and I saw that these Qing soldiers were only carrying a lot of ladders, and they did not see the siege engines, trebuchets and other siege equipment seen in movies and television before, and knew that these Qing soldiers were in a hurry and were not fully prepared.

Shi Kefa was a little nervous when he saw that the Qing soldiers were very numerous, but he didn't show it on his face, and turned his head to ask Liu Zhaoji, "Dingwei, the Qing soldiers are numerous, can Yangzhou City be defended?" ”

"Don't worry, the Qing soldiers are attacking the city, but most of them are new Ming troops, and the siege equipment is not even, the Yangzhou city wall is tall and strong, and there are Luo Angels they are in charge, and the Qing soldiers will not succeed!" Liu Zhaoji has been in battle for a long time, and he can see at a glance that this is the last blow of the Qing soldiers, and there is no success at all.

Shi Kefa glanced at Luo Jian again, and saw that his expression was indifferent, without a trace of melancholy, and his heart was determined.

At this time, Luo Jian's attention had turned to the cavalry behind the Qing soldiers, the siege cavalry was useless, these cavalry must be supervising the battle. Staring at these cavalrymen, Luo Jian already had an idea in his heart, turned his head to the three of them and said:

"Do you see the cavalry behind the infantry?"

"Well, I see, it's the white flag cavalry of the Qing soldiers, this is the most elite unit of Duoduo, and it must be the one who follows behind." Liu Zhaoji took the binoculars in Luo Jian's hand, stared at it carefully for a while, and said.

"I think so, when the Qing soldiers begin to attack the city, please Ren Futai take a loudspeaker on the city wall and shout to these people, so that they don't die for the Tartars, I will park the armored car outside the West Gate gate, the city is wide open, and there are anti-water Qing soldiers can enter from this gate, so that the enemy cavalry will move forward, to stop these Qing soldiers anyway, I will directly rush out to attack these cavalry, be sure to hit them hard. What do you guys think? ”

Luo Jian knew that these Qing Army's Eight Banners had the strongest combat effectiveness, which was the foundation of the Qing Dynasty, and he had to give the most severe blow at every opportunity.

"It's... The Qing army is attacking the city, and we will open the city gates? Isn't it too risky? Ren Minyu was a little worried.

"It's okay, we send more bombs and grenades to defend at the city gate, and the soldiers can't get in, but Luo Angel will go out to pursue the cavalry with a few of you, isn't it too risky?" Liu Zhaoji was not worried about the city gate, but was just worried about the safety of Luo Jian and them.

Shi Kefa also nodded when he heard this, indicating that he also meant the same.

"It's okay, we are already familiar with the terrain outside, we want to go, the Qing soldiers can't stop it, please rest assured." Luo Jian is very confident.

"You must pay attention to safety, and if you can't do anything, you can return as soon as possible." Shi Kefa said.

At that moment, a few people carefully discussed some details, and Luo Jian explained that Ren Minyu only used vernacular when shouting, so that these uneducated soldiers could understand.

By the time they split up to prepare, the Qing soldiers were only a few hundred meters away from the city wall.

Luo Jian got off the city wall and got into the armored car, seeing that Xiao Liu Xiaowang was ready for battle, he felt that when he went out of the city to attack the enemy cavalry, both sides of the armored car must ensure that there was firepower, and asked Xiao Wang to call Wang Zecheng into the car.

Seeing that Yi Bangcai had already arranged the defense of the west gate, Luo Jian asked them to open the city gate, and the warrior car slowly drove out and stopped more than ten meters away from the city gate.

The Qing soldiers who slowly surrounded in this direction saw that the city gate was wide open, and the strange car came out of the city gate, and they were all shocked, and their footsteps stopped.

"Brothers of the Ming army under the city, we have heaven and man to help us, and the Qing captives will be defeated! You are all Han Chinese, don't work for the Tartars, now the city gate is wide open, you come in from here, the chariot will not beat you! The voice of Ren Minyu sounded on the city wall. As soon as Luo Jian heard it, yes, he should say this, how can most of the illiterate soldiers understand it?

The Qing soldiers closest to the warrior car listened to it, and felt strange that the sound of the people on the city wall was so loud, and when they heard it clearly, many people looked at each other, and finally someone slowly leaned towards the direction of the car, and saw that the god car did not fire, and began to run towards the city gate.

The distance of 200 meters was quickly reached, and when these people ran past the car, Wang Qiang stood on the car and shouted: "Throw down the weapons in your hands." ”

Luo Jian held a rifle in his hand, opened the car door and walked out to stand beside him, directing these Qing soldiers to run towards the city gate.

Suddenly, Luo Jian saw a commotion in the back row of the Qing soldiers, raised his eyes, and saw a general holding a waist knife in his hand, slashing towards the soldiers who were about to run over, shouting in his mouth, "Don't go over, whoever has been there will kill whom."

Luo Jian estimated that the distance was about 200 meters, adjusted the ruler on the rifle, raised the gun and aimed at the general, and with a gunshot, the general fell down holding his chest.

This shot made Wang Zecheng's eyes spark, at least one hundred and fifty steps, the gun in his hand could be hit at such a long distance, seeing that the general did not get up after falling, obviously the armor on his body was useless, and he believed what Wang Qiang said yesterday.

At this moment, Wang Zecheng made up his mind that he must follow Luo Jian in the future, just to be able to hit the tartar with the gun in his hand.

At this moment, there was a strange scene under the city of Yangzhou, the Qing soldiers in several other directions were ready to set up a cloud ladder to start attacking the city, but the west gate was wide open, but the Qing soldiers dropped their weapons at the city gate and ran towards the city gate.

Under the deterrence of the divine chariot and the cover of Luo Jian's rifle, the "former Ming army" entered the city very smoothly, and Luo Jian estimated that more than 1,000 people had already run in.

The backlash of the Qing soldiers in front of the west gate finally attracted the attention of Tulai, and he didn't care too much about these newly surrendered Ming soldiers entering the city, what he cared about was that the city gate was wide open.

Although the strange chariots at the gates of the city made Turai extremely jealous, the temptation of cavalry to charge into the city made him forget the danger, and he felt that he should try it anyway.

Asking his own soldiers to call a Niu Lu Ezhen approached, Turai pointed to the wide open city gate and asked: "You take three hundred horsemen to attack this city gate, and then I will lead the army to follow, if you can occupy this city gate, Yangzhou will be broken." ”

"That strange car is so ferocious, the minions are worried that my Manchu warriors will be too damaged." Niu Lu had really seen the power of the strange car, and he was very worried and didn't want to go at all.

"You cowardly minion, when did my Manchurian warrior begin to be afraid of death? If you rush from several directions, there is only one fire gun on the monster, how can you prevent it from several sides? Seeing that Niu Lu was really cowardly, Turai was very angry, and raised his horsewhip to whip him.

Niu Lu really couldn't do it, so he had to order three hundred horsemen and quickly prepared to charge, and began to trot in the direction of the West Gate Gate. The stamina of the horse was limited, and the duration of being able to gallop at full speed was not long, and the cavalry generally began to accelerate the charge only after a distance of about a mile.

Wang Qiang stood high and saw far away, and was the first to see the Qing cavalry coming in this direction, and hurriedly shouted, "The Qing cavalry is coming", and Luo Jian responded "I know".

Seeing that the cavalry was approaching the range of the machine gun, he was about to shoot, but he heard Luo Jian say: "Don't shoot, wait for them to get closer, listen to my orders." ”

On both sides of the city gate, there were many Qing Han soldiers who were about to enter the city and surrender, and when they saw the cavalry rushing over, they rushed towards the city gate in a swarm, and the city gate was suddenly crowded.

The Qing soldiers, who were still far away from the city gate, saw that the cavalry was ready to charge, and they also hurriedly ran to the back and sides, and suddenly the route of the Qing cavalry charge was all vacant.

The cavalry was very fast, seeing that they were only more than a hundred meters away from Luo Jian, Wang Zecheng was already sweating on his forehead, he knew the consequences of these cavalry once they rushed into the city gate, but Luo Jian still did not shoot.

Luo Jian didn't get into the car, leaned against the door, blocked his lower body with his body, and there were three full magazines on the hood, his eyes were fixed on the Qing cavalry who were getting closer and closer.

The horse's hooves stepped on the stone slab in front of the city gate, making a rapid and crisp sound, which made people's heartbeat speed up, and the group charge of hundreds of cavalry was indeed amazing.

Less than fifty meters later, some cavalrymen were already on the horse and began to shoot arrows at the armored car, the arrows hit the body with a clanging sound, and an arrow flew past Luo Jian's helmet, Luo Jian didn't even blink his eyes.

Shi Kefa and Ren Minyu kept their eyes on the cavalry rushing over from the city tower, seeing that they were getting closer and closer to the warrior car, and seeing that Luo Jian and the others had not shot, they only felt that their hearts were pounding, and they had already seen sweat on their foreheads.

Thirty meters later, Luo Jian shouted, "Fight!" With the sound of Luo Jian's gun, Wang Qiang and Wang Zecheng on the car also fired at the same time, like three whips whipped on the galloping cavalry, and suddenly the front fell down, and the cavalry rushing behind couldn't stop the horse, and many cavalry directly hit the fallen horses in front, and suddenly people turned over on their backs.

The three fire whips instantly emptied all the cavalry within a radius of fifty meters in front, and the firepower of several people began to extend to the rear. The cavalry behind them still rushed forward like moths to a flame, and the huge inertia prevented them from stopping in the high-speed charge.

A cavalryman pulled the reins on his horse, and the horse neighed and circled in an arc to avoid the fallen horse in front of him, but was knocked over by the chasing tongue of fire.

Luo Jian changed a magazine and shot unhurriedly, all with short bursts, and a cavalry would always be knocked off his horse with a few shots.

In less than thirty seconds, the cavalry that charged over had lost fifty or sixty horses, but none of them could pass through the fire net composed of three automatic firearms, and the cavalry behind had slowed down, apparently preparing to retreat.

Luo Jian threw a few magazines on the hood into the car, pulled the car door and jumped into the car, beckoning Xiao Liu and said, "Prepare to pursue!" ”

Liu Weimin carefully bypassed the horses and Qing cavalry that fell to the ground in front of him, and when he saw that the road ahead was empty, he stepped on the accelerator, and the warrior car suddenly rushed forward.

The retreating cavalry scattered and fled, Luo Jian and they didn't dare to chase too far, the harvest of the pursuit was not great, only a dozen horses were overturned, and the rest of the cavalry had already fled back.

Staring at the cavalry in front of him, Luo Jian thought to himself, if all the twelve rifles he carried were used, it was estimated that all these hundreds of cavalry would have to stay, but he hated that the time was too tight and he didn't find the right person to use these guns.

When the warrior cart came back in a circle, he saw that the Qing soldiers outside the west gate who were preparing to attack the city had only two or three thousand people left.
