Almost no one noticed that the Dinghu Gate on the west side of Shouzhou City had been quietly opened, and the Mongolian cavalry and white-armored soldiers, who had long been dressed neatly, led their horses out of the Dinghu Gate carefully, as if they were afraid of waking up the people who were still sleeping.

Huang Degong and Liu Dingjun, the commander of the Fourth Division, both strongly opposed Luo Jian personally luring the enemy, and they were deeply aware of the fierceness of the Manchu cavalry, but Luo Jian was not moved at all.

Li Chengdong, the commander of the second division, was not too worried, he knew too well the lethality of the Dadu Guards, this time Luo Jian went to Shouzhou in person, Liu Zhaoji was not at ease, and handed over half of the rifles to Zhao Quan to bring over, besides, there were three or four grenades on each of the Dadu Guards, and it was impossible for the Qing soldiers to hurt the Dadu Governor.

Bai Yintu led the horses and carefully moved along the city wall to the south, for fear that the Yangzhou cavalry in front of him would notice.

What he didn't know was that there were people in the grass a mile in front of Dinghu Gate who were watching his every move, holding a walkie-talkie in their hands and constantly reporting their distance from Luo Jian.

It took more than 3,000 people a few minutes to get out of the city gate, and when Bai Yintu turned the corner of the city wall and saw that the cavalry of the Yangzhou army was still there, he felt that he would definitely be able to make a great contribution today, because at this distance, no cavalry could escape the pursuit of the white armor soldiers of the Great Qing Dynasty......

The south of Shouzhou is full of flat rivers, and it is impossible for the Yangzhou army to set up ambushes on this terrain, which is why Bai Yintu did not greet Liu Liangzuo at all and directly led the cavalry to attack.

"The Tartar cavalry is coming, run!" Zhao Quan's voice was so loud that even Bai Yintu, who was getting on the horse, heard it.

Luo Jian is a little angry with Zhao Quan, there is still more than a mile to go, he shouted too early, what if the Qing soldiers don't chase after him?

"Quick! Fast! Don't let them run! Seeing that he had been exposed, Bai Yin Tu flew on his horse and yelled behind.

Liu Liangzuo watched everything that happened under the city in a daze on the city tower, a little unbelieving his eyes, he knew very well the power of the Qing cavalry, and there was no possibility of escaping from the more than 100 horsemen of the Yangzhou army.

Luo Jianba turned the horse's head and ran slowly towards the south, Zhao Quan was so anxious that he roared, "The Metropolitan Governor is seated!" A whip was whipped on the buttocks of the big green horse ridden by Luo Jian, and the big green horse neighed in pain, let go of his hooves and galloped.

The horses on both sides accelerated almost at the same time, and the horses of the Luo Jian Guards were also personally selected by Liu Zhaoji, and none of them were bad, and the Mongolian cavalry and white-armored soldiers chasing behind them were even more fierce, especially the white-armored soldiers were faster, surpassing the Mongolian cavalry in more than ten seconds.

Luo Jian's big green horse was already galloping at full speed, and the tail of the horse had almost become a straight line, Luo Jian didn't look back, his current riding skills couldn't do this.

Zhao Quan pulled the reins in his left hand and held the ninety-five rifle in his right hand, looking back at the pursuers behind him from time to time, looking at the small willow tree in front, Zhao Quan said to Luo Jian while running, "Governor, I'll be here soon." ”

The gallop of thousands of war horses completely broke the tranquility of the early morning, Liu Liangzuo could not see the galloping cavalry of the Yangzhou army clearly at the head of the city, and the dust in the sky had blocked his vision, and Liu Liangzuo suddenly felt an ominous feeling in his heart.

The distance is getting closer and closer, Bai Yin Tu is very excited, desperately slapping the horse, only fifty steps, catching up with these fifty steps, he Bai Yin Tu has become a hero of the Qing Dynasty.

The speeding Bai Yintu didn't notice the difference between the ground he had just stepped over and the one in front of him, but he would never be able to catch up with the fifty paces away.

When the cavalry of the Qing soldiers rushed across the ground as fast as Bai Yintu, no one noticed that the turf on the ground behind them was pushed away and turned into several trenches, which were very long, with a radius of about one or two kilometers, and hundreds of leads extended from the trenches, which were ignited after all the Qing cavalry passed.

After the first cavalry was turned on his back by the trench, Bai Yintu felt that something was wrong, and by the time he slowed down his horse and was about to take a closer look, the earth-shattering explosion had already sounded.

Hundreds of fried bags made of two thousand catties of black medicine were mixed with broken stones and tiles, giving a fatal blow to the Qing cavalry, although there were still cavalry escaping from the smoke, and the front was not too deep, but the successive trenches directly made them turn over on their backs.

The fleeing cavalry was hit by a rain of arrows and firecrackers, which were dozens of meters in front of the trench, and were covered with straw that the galloping Qing cavalry did not notice them.

Bai Yintu did not escape, in the first round of explosions, he was directly hit in the head by a flying stone, rolled over his horse, and was trampled on by the horse that caught up behind.

It took a long time for the smoke to dissipate, and the ground within a radius of one or two kilometers finally revealed its true face, and at this time, the tragic scene made even Luo Jian, who had been in battle for a long time, feel sick.

Huang Degong led people into the field, and while mending the knife to the Qing soldiers who were not dead, he still muttered in his mouth, "Good horses, they are all good horses, it's a pity!" ”

Since the sound of the explosion, Liu Liangzuo's heart has sunk to the bottom, the black smoke and dust raised by the explosion have completely covered the Qing cavalry, Liu Liangzuo stared at the edge of the smoke, hoping that someone could escape.

"Didn't get out of the ride?" Liu Liangzuo muttered.

No one on the walls answered him, and the soldiers were already frightened.

The 2nd and 4th Divisions had already approached Shouzhou City, and the 5th Division had moved to the north, preparing to meet the Qing reinforcements.

Liu Liangzuo surged up countless thoughts at the head of the city, looked at the tall city wall under his feet, and felt for a while that if he held Shouzhou, he would definitely be able to make a great contribution in the Qing Dynasty; For a while, I felt that the Yangzhou army didn't pay attention to the rules at all, and God knows what means they would use to deal with themselves.

Thinking that the elite cavalry of the Qing soldiers who could be relied on was completely wiped out by the Yangzhou army in less than a meal, Liu Liangzuo felt that the sweat on his body was rising, and when he was thinking about it and being extremely entangled, there was a shouting from the city, but the sound was too loud, and ordinary people couldn't make such a loud sound.

"Liu Liangzuo, you have no way out now, only to surrender, if you surrender now, we will not blame the past, if not, others can be spared, but Liu Liangzuo will not be spared!"

"Han brothers, now that the Qing soldiers, Mongolian cavalry and white-armored soldiers have all been wiped out, you don't want to work for the Tartars anymore!"

Listening to the sound of the loudspeaker under the city, Liu Liangzuo only felt that there was a gold star in front of him.

One of the generals beside him couldn't hold it anymore, took the fire fold in the hand of a soldier, lit the rope of the cannon on the city wall, and after a loud bang, a solid projectile flew down the city, but it was at least a hundred meters away from the place where the sound sounded.

Luo Jian was on the artillery position more than two miles away from the city wall at this time, and when he saw that the artillery had already sounded at the head of the city, he turned to Yan Yingyuan and said, "You can also shoot a few cannons!" ”

According to Li Chengdong's original idea, he wanted to lure the Qing cavalry out of the city and inflict heavy casualties on them with artillery, and all the generals unanimously agreed.

Li Chengdong's words reminded Luo Jian of a previous exercise in the army, the terrain of that exercise was similar to the current one, but the superiors asked the troops to be hidden, and the troops had no choice but to dig underground, and countless hidden soldiers hid the entire exercise troops, and the carefully dug turf was re-covered on the hidden soldiers' holes.

Because he was going to attack Jiancheng, Luo Jian asked the troops to carry 5,000 catties of black medicine, ready to be used for blasting, and Luo Jian didn't even think about the kind of ant-attached siege with heavy casualties.

Reminded by Li Chengdong, Luo Jian asked the Fifth Division to design such a big trap in one night, and made hundreds of fried yao bags overnight, and lured the enemy in person, he himself did not expect to annihilate more than 3,000 cavalry of the Qing soldiers in one fell swoop, including 500 white-armored soldiers.

This Shouzhou City has no elite cavalry of the Qing soldiers, and now it is like a ripe peach, and the Yangzhou army can pick it at any time, but Luo Jian does not want to attack the city directly, if he can force Liu Liangzuo to surrender, it will have a good demonstration effect on the Han army in the Qing army in the future.

Seeing that the artillery began to fire in the city, Luo Jian knew that Liu Liangzuo had not yet made up his mind, so he ordered the artillery to fire a few cannons to urge Liu Liangzuo to surrender.

Yan Yingyuan had already stared at the position of the cannon fired at the head of the city just now, and personally adjusted a cannon and aimed it carefully, this was the first shot of the Yangzhou army's artillery, Yan Yingyuan hoped to make a good start.

took out the matches produced by the Yangzhou Match Factory, Yan Yingyuan took out one and swiped it on the cannon, the match rod burst out with bright flames, and Yan Yingyuan personally lit the fire rope.

Yan Yingyuan stood next to the artillery, and did not hide according to the operating specifications, but held a telescope and stared at the city.

The general Liu Liangzuo, who had just lit the arquebus at the head of the city, saw that the cannon shot was too far off, and was directing the soldiers to adjust the muzzle of the cannon, and was also preparing to shoot in the direction of the shouting sound under the city.

With a roar, a black dot flew towards the head of the city, smashing in front of the general impartially, with a loud bang, the general fell to the ground, followed by a violent explosion, but it detonated the huo medicine piled up not far from the artillery at the head of the city, and the Qing soldiers at the head of the city fell.

Luo Jian was also holding the binoculars and watching, he really didn't expect Yan Yingyuan's luck to be so good, even in another time and space, it was impossible for that kind of artillery to have such an accurate hit, Luo Jian could only attribute it to luck.

There were earth-shattering cheers from the infantry and artillery positions of the Yangzhou army, but Yan Yingyuan was unusually calm, and asked Luo Jian, who was not far away: "Governor Dadu, are you still fighting?" ”

This cannon completely wiped out Liu Liangzuo's only little confidence, he didn't expect that the artillery of the Yangzhou army could shoot this kind of explosive cannonball, if the cannon of the Yangzhou army hit the city wall like this, there would be no one to defend the city on the city wall, what is the use of the city wall being tall?

Before the Yangzhou army's cannon sounded again, Liu Liangzuo had already raised a white flag on the top of the city, and Luo Jian, who had been observing the city head with a telescope, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

How powerful is his own artillery Luo Jian actually knows best in his heart, if these thirty or so cannons fire a salvo, Luo Jian estimates that one or two shots can fall on the city, it is extremely lucky, if it hits the city, it will hurt innocent people, but it is not what Luo Jian wants.

With the opening of the Tongqi Gate, Liu Liangzuo's troops drove out of the city in a steady stream, and under the surveillance of the Yangzhou army, they threw all the weapons in their hands aside and became prisoners of the Yangzhou army.

Huang Degong was still a little confused, and said to Luo Jian vigorously: "Metropolitan Governor, how is this possible?" That's the end of more than 3,000 cavalry of the Tartars? How is this possible? ”

No wonder Huang Degong couldn't figure it out, the Ming Dynasty had fought with the Qing soldiers for so many years, and there had never been a battle that had the result of annihilating more than a few hundred Qing cavalry.

"What's impossible? The blind confidence of the Qing soldiers in the cavalry and our correct tactics were the fundamental reasons for the fall of the Qing cavalry. Luo Jian said with a smile.

A regiment of the Fourth Division drove into Shouzhou, Luo Jian did not enter the city, the scouts had just come to report, and the reinforcements of the Qing soldiers were not far from Huaiyuan County.
