Ao Bai was stumped by the tall walls of the steel mill.

Without any siege equipment, it was not easy for the Qing soldiers to attack the wall, and after watching it for a long time, he had to order someone to cut down wood to make ladders and hit wood, which was also the reason why Shi Kefa and Wang Qiang and others were able to arrange it calmly.

In the vicious battle with the garrison just now, although the Qing soldiers had the upper hand, they did not please well, and Ao Bai found that the casualties had exceeded 1,000.

Although the Yangzhou army has some firearms, it can be clearly seen that these soldiers are not proficient in the use of muskets, even in this case, they can give the most elite Qing warriors such a big kill, Ao Bai only felt that the Yangzhou army is indeed different from other Ming armies, if he knew that it was only the Yangzhou garrison that resisted him, I am afraid it would be even more shocking.

It didn't take much time for the Qing soldiers to cut wood, and Shi Kefa was nervous as he watched the Qing soldiers carrying a large amount of wood towards the city wall from the height of the steel mill.

Wang Qiang also saw the movement of the Qing soldiers, and when he saw that the Qing soldiers had reached the bottom of the wall, he jumped down from the house, grabbed a grenade, and rushed towards the area where the Qing soldiers had the most.

"Light the fuse and throw it out when it hits the handle." Liu Weimin shouted from behind, although the temporary grenade was made with picric acid as a explosive medicine, but there was no time to make a fuse cable.

"Got it!" Wang Qiang took out a lighter while running, and when he got closer to the wall, he lit the fuse, watched it burn near the wooden handle, and threw it out of the wall.

Wang Qiang threw the grenade far away, he was afraid that the wall would be damaged.

Shi Kefa could see clearly that with a loud "boom", the grenade exploded among the Qing soldiers, and Shi Kefa estimated that at least seven or eight Qing soldiers were blown up.

The loud explosion made the war horses under Aobai's seat jump up in shock, and Aobai was also taken aback, seeing that the legendary earth-shattering thunder appeared here, which made him have the idea of retiring.

Li Zhan had already rushed to the shore, rode his horse and ran to Aobai's side, the loud noise just now almost shook him off his horse, and finally reined in his mount, seeing Aobai's face change drastically, he knew that he was afraid.

"Don't worry, general, as far as I know, there are not many such earth-shattering thunders in the Yangzhou army, if they still have a lot, we may not be able to land just now. Now these must be newly created by them, if they don't destroy these places, they will create more earth-shattering thunder in the future, and the Qing Dynasty will no longer be able to defeat the Yangzhou army. ”

After listening to Li Zhan's words, Ao Bai dispelled the idea of retreating, and he felt that Li Zhan was on the point.

Ao Bai nodded, and ordered to the Qing soldiers: "There are not many thunderstorms in the Yangzhou army, don't panic the Qing warriors." ”

The Qing soldiers were immediately ordered to evacuate, carrying improvised ladders and crashing logs, approaching the wall from all directions.

Subsequently, although Wang Qiang and Liu Weimin's guards killed and wounded more than 200 Qing soldiers with dozens of grenades, they only slightly stopped the Qing soldiers' movements.

Ao Bai had ordered his subordinates to break through the wall regardless of casualties, and he thought that the earth-shaking thunder was made in the steelworks.

A large bag of grenades quickly ran out, and the Qing soldiers had already set up ladders on the wall, and in some areas the Qing soldiers were carrying the striking wood against the wall.

The wall of the steel mill was more than two meters high, and the Qing soldiers who climbed the wall fell down one after another under the blows of bows and arrows and rifles, and many fell into the wall, and were quickly cut down by the soldiers of the garrison who rushed up.

Although the wall was made of green bricks and cement, it did not last a few times under the impact of the thick wood at the mouth of the sea bowl, and soon the wall in the northwest direction began to loosen, and with a bang, the wall was knocked out of a large gap.

The wall with the gap was quickly knocked down in a large area, Wang Qiang had already concentrated all the riflemen on the opposite side of the gap, watching the Qing soldiers rush in from the gap, Wang Qiang gave the order to fire.

As the gunshots rang out, dozens of Qing soldiers fell, but more Qing soldiers poured in from behind.

At the time of the gunshot, the commander of the third regiment had already led the three regiments to rush towards the gap, and instantly fought with the Qing soldiers who rushed in.

The soldiers of the garrison division knew that there was no way to retreat, and they all fought desperately, and the Qing soldiers were few for a while, and they were beaten back one after another, and after a while, more than 100 Qing soldiers who came in were driven out of the gap.

Liu Lan and the Red Lady rushed towards Yangzhou with more than a hundred escorts, and had already heard the explosion from the steel mill and the subsequent gunshots, Liu Lan knew that the fiercest battle had taken place in the steel mill, and as soon as she pulled the reins, she ran in the direction of the steel mill.

There was no gunshot, only the shouts of the fight, Liu Lan secretly said in her heart that it was not good, and she slapped the horse more urgently.

Ao Bai saw that the Qing soldiers who rushed into the courtyard were driven out, and his eyes were also red.

The machete in his hand immediately cut down a retreating Qing soldier, turned over and dismounted, and took the lead in rushing towards the courtyard.

Seeing that the main general had already sacrificed his life to rush in, the retreating Qing soldiers regained their courage and turned around and rushed towards the courtyard, and the gap was also hit bigger and bigger.

Liu Weimin and Chen Zilong had already finished the bullets in their rifles, and although they killed and injured dozens of Qing soldiers, more and more Qing soldiers still rushed into the courtyard.

Liu Lan rushed into the steel mill from the gate first, and the red lady followed, at this time Ao Bai had already killed the red eye, and there were no less than ten soldiers of the garrison division who died under his sword, and the personal bravery of the Qing "Baturu" should not be underestimated.

Liu Lan saw that Shi Kefa, Wang Qiang and the others were retreating, turned over and dismounted a few steps and ran towards them.

Suddenly, a cold arrow flew out of nowhere, hitting Liulan in the chest, and Liulan, who was running, was knocked into a crooked body and fell to the ground.

The appearance of Liu Lan and others had already attracted the attention of Ao Bai, seeing a woman leading the guards to rush in, knowing that it must be an important person in Yangzhou, Ao Bai saw Liu Lan fall to the ground, and was immediately overjoyed, and rushed over in a few steps in the direction of Liu Lan falling to the ground.

When the soldiers of the garrison saw that Liu Lan had fallen to the ground with an arrow, their eyes were cracked one by one, and they desperately stopped them in the direction where Ao Bai was rushing.

Shi Kefa and Xiao Wang also saw it, and both of them screamed.

Liu Lan was so hit by this arrow that she almost lost her breath, gritted her teeth and got up from the ground, took out a Type 92 pistol from her handbag, and loaded it with a bang.

Stabilizing her body, Liu Lan ran in a few steps in the direction where Ao Bai came from, and the soldiers of the garrison division who stopped Ao Bai had already sacrificed three people at this time, and the others were still fearless and rushed towards Ao Bai and the Qing soldiers who followed later.

The red lady carried a sword to protect Liu Lan, and soon approached Ao Bai and the others.

"Get out of the way!" Liu Lan saw Ao Bai, who was like a bloody person, and knew that he was the general of the Qing army, and shouted at the soldiers of the garrison who were desperately fighting.

The soldiers quickly retreated to Liulan's side and protected her.

Seeing that Liulan did not run away, Ao Bai was not in a hurry, and walked to a stop more than ten steps away in front of Liulan.

"Who are you? But the wife of the Governor of Yangzhou? Ao Bai even had time to ask.

"Who are you?" Liu Lan also asked loudly.

"I am the Qing Dynasty 'Baturu' Ao Bai Yes! Hurry up and surrender, I won't kill you. Ao Bai replied with a wrinkled face, he didn't know that death had already begun to summon him.

"Hehe, kill us? I see your end has come! You murderer! Liu Lan said as she slowly raised the muzzle of her gun and pointed at Aobai.

When Shi Kefa saw Liu Lan get up from the ground, he was overjoyed, and he rushed over with Wang Qiang.

Seeing Liu Lan walking towards Aobai, Shi Kefa shouted anxiously, but was stopped by Wang Qiang next to him, Wang Qiang had already seen the pistol in Liu Lan's hand.

Ao Bai had already seen Liu Lan carrying something in his hand, Liu Lan's hand had been hanging down at the beginning, Ao Bai didn't know what it was, when Liu Lan's muzzle was pointed at him, Ao Bai screamed in his heart that it was not good, no matter who it was, facing the muzzle of the black hole, his heart would always be extremely shocked, and Ao Bai was no exception.

Without waiting for Ao Bai to react, Liu Lan's gun had already sounded, and Liu Lan fired three shots in a row, so close at a distance, it was difficult to miss.

As the gunshots rang out, Ao Bai fell to the ground, although the three layers of thick armor on his body allowed him not to be injured in the charge, but in front of the 92-style pistol, there was no trace of defense.

Ao Bai, who fell to the ground, did not die immediately, covering the wound on his chest with his hands, and his eyes were especially unbelievable that he, the "Baturu" of the Qing Dynasty, would die at the hands of a woman.

Liu Lan quickly shot all the bullets in the magazine at the Qing soldiers behind Ao Bai, and retreated to Shi Kefa and Wang Qiang under the cover of the soldiers.

"Sister Liulan, you are amazing, you killed Ao Baiye!" Wang Qiang shouted.

"Don't make a fuss about it, you kid, take off the machine gun, they won't use it, hurry up!" Liu Lan didn't care about being verbose with Wang Qiang, shouted to the guards with machine guns on their backs, and quickly took down the machine guns.

"Sister Liulan, did you bring the machine gun? How many bullets are left? When Wang Qiang heard this, he immediately became excited.

"There aren't many bullets, only more than 2,000 rounds, you kid can save some money." Liu Lan said as she pressed her chest with her hand, she didn't feel it when she was nervous just now, but now it hurts badly.

When the red lady saw it, she quickly helped Liu Lan to a room next to her, untied Liu Lan's clothes and saw that she was already blue, and the red lady took out the wound medicine on her body and wiped it on Liu Lan.

Aobai's fall to the ground made the Qing soldiers' offensive suddenly slow down, rushed up to a group of Qing soldiers to drag Aobai down, Aobai has reached the last moment, strong eyes, Aobai towards the Qing generals who surrounded the Qing soldiers with the last strength shouted: "Don't retreat, kill them, don't kill them all, we will be finished!" ”

After shouting these words, Ao Bai's head drooped, and there was no more movement, and a generation of murderous demon kings, the "Baturu" of the Manchu court, was finished.

Seeing Ao Bai dead, a group of Qing generals also had red eyes, and rushed towards the Yangzhou army, which had already rearranged its defenses, with their swords.

Shi Kefa, Wang Qiang, and the Qing soldiers didn't know that more than a dozen people outside the steelmaking plant were running towards the steelmaking plant, including Yangzhou troops from all over the country who rushed to reinforce them, Yangzhou people who ran over with Liu Lan, and the fourth regiment of the garrison division that stayed in the shipyard to defend.

This time, it was not muskets or bows and arrows that greeted the Qing soldiers' charge, but the 95-type 7.62mm machine gun.

On the edge of the factory, Wang Qiang quickly set up a machine gun, skillfully loaded a chain full of 200 bullets, and waited for the Qing soldiers to rush more than ten meters away, Wang Qiang pulled the trigger.

With the crisp sound of gunfire, the Qing soldiers fell in groups.

This blow completely lost the fighting spirit of the Qing soldiers, and many Qing soldiers began to run towards the outside of the wall, only a dozen people raised their waist knives and pounced on the machine gun moths like moths to the fire, and all of them were knocked to the ground in less than a few seconds.

Seeing this situation, Shi Kefa's heart settled down and knew that Guazhou had been saved.

The Qing soldiers who withdrew from the steel mill compound found that they had nowhere to escape, and the outside had become a vast sea of soldiers and civilians in Yangzhou.
