Seeing that the artillery support was hopeless, Li Yuan had to return to the city gate tower to continue the command, at this time, the gunfire on the city wall had already sounded, and some of the first and second waves of Qing troops had already rushed to the foot of the city wall.

I only heard someone shouting from the city wall: "Heaven-shaking thunder prepare, launch!" ”

The foot soldier who was shooting the gun immediately picked up the long-handled Heaven-Shaking Thunder from the basket under his feet, ignited the extended lead, and then threw it forward with all his might.

"Whoosh ......"

In a slight sound of breaking the air, countless black earth-shattering thunderbolts were thrown down from the city. Soon, a violent explosion sounded outside the city wall, and the condescending soldiers threw the earth-shaking thunder quite far, thirty or forty steps, and some threw the earth-shaking thunder to the foot of the city wall.

In the earth-shattering explosion, it was not easy to rush to the city wall, and the Qing soldiers who saw a glimmer of dawn were ravaged by a new round, and the stumps that were blown away were splashed everywhere, and the entire foot of the city wall was as terrifying as Senluo Hell, and the thousands of Qing soldiers who finally rushed to the city were already killed and wounded under the combined blow of Mini rifles and earth-shaking thunder, not to mention that they could launch an attack, and even the ladder could not be erected.

"Brother Fourteen, you can't fight like this anymore, if you continue like this, those Han army flags will not be able to hold on, and now without the cover of the Han army flags, the warriors in our clan don't know how many casualties they have to rush to the city, and you have also seen that the firearms of the Ming army are too powerful, we can't let the warriors die in vain." Dorgon said anxiously to Dorgon beside him.

Dolgon sighed and said with a wry smile: "It seems that we have all underestimated this Jinan city, well, blow the trumpet and order the warriors to withdraw!" ”

"Woo woo woo ......"

In the desolate sound of the horn, the white flag soldiers and horses of the Qing army, which had already rushed halfway, quickly retreated like a tide, leaving only the corpses in front of them and the wounded soldiers all over the ground.

Seeing the Qing soldiers retreating, the defenders on the city wall cheered loudly, "Tartars retreat, Tartars retreat......"

Unlike the cheering soldiers around him, Li Yuan couldn't help but pout as he looked at the people and horses with white flags slowly retreating in the distance: "It's a pity, if those Tartars also come up, Lao Tzu will at least let them stay for more than half of them." ”

After the battle just now, Li Yuan was even more confident in the defensive method of rifle and thunder, and he firmly believed that in the absence of any good defense method, there was no way for the Qing soldiers to climb the city wall and engage in a brutal offensive and defensive battle with them.

Unlike the Ming army, which was cheering at the head of the city, the two brothers, Dorgon and Dord, who had returned to the camp, were sitting opposite each other with a sad brow at the moment.

After a long time, Dolgon sighed: "I didn't expect the firearms of the Ming army to be so sharp, this is a miscalculation for my brother, it seems that Jinan City will not be captured without transferring artillery." ”

"But......" Duoduo hesitated for a moment and then said, "But at this moment, our artillery is all in the Shanhaiguan area, and there is no emperor...... The emperor's will, we have no right to mobilize it at all, even if the emperor agrees, it is far from quenching the thirst of the near. ”

When talking about the emperor, Duoduo paused unnaturally, and an unnatural look flashed on his face. Like Dorgon, Duoduo was full of resentment towards the emperor who had forced his own mother to death, and at the mention of Huang Taiji's name, his expression became a little strange.

Dolgon looked at his younger brother calmly, and said lightly: "Now it seems that we take the attack on Jinan City too seriously, according to the battle situation of the four city gates just now, the Ming army guarding Jinan is at least more than 10,000 people, and the firearms are excellent, if we want to capture it, we have to add at least 50,000 soldiers and horses, and we have to pay a very heavy price." ”

"Brother Fourteen, then what do you say we should do?" Duoduo listened to the words of this fourteenth brother when he was a child, and he was no exception when he grew up.

Dolgon walked slowly in the big tent several times, and then said slowly: "It's a pity, most of the people around Jinan have been moved into the city, otherwise you can use one or two, now the biggest difficulty is how to climb the city wall of Jinan, but with their artillery, our shield carts, rushing cars and can't rush up, hey......"

Just when the Dolgon brothers were in a dilemma, thousands of miles away from Jinan, in the Korean waters, a mighty fleet of ships consisted of three Spanish galleons, five Daifuku ships, and forty fast cruisers, which were heading in the direction of Dandong.

Pang Gang was standing on the bow of a Spanish galleon, and the April breeze blew on his face with a warm breath, making people feel a burst of warmth. Pang Gang groaned comfortably, then stretched and did a few stretches before stopping.

At this time, there was a sound of "cluck" footsteps behind him, and Pang Gang looked back, and it turned out to be Da Zhuang walking towards him.

Soon Da Zhuang's voice sounded behind Pang Gang: "My lord, have you really decided not to reinforce Jinan?" Aren't you afraid of any danger in Jinan? ”

Pang Gang smiled slightly, and his face under the sunset had a hint of golden brilliance: "Da Zhuang, you are too worried, I have also thought about it all the way, Jinan City is guarded by Li Yuan, Bin Shiqian, Dong Guo, Governor Wei and more than 10,000 soldiers, what else do I have to worry about?" And now that the Tartars dare to invade our borders with such fearlessness, why can't we enter the hinterland of the Tartars and turn him upside down? ”

Da Zhuang scratched his head, although he was a little puzzled why Pang Gang suddenly changed his mind halfway and did not rush to Jinan, he still resolutely obeyed Pang Gang's order.

Looking at the endless sea in the distance, Pang Gang said softly in his heart: "Huang Taiji, Huang Taiji, when you receive the news that I appeared in your hinterland, I don't know what kind of expression you have on your face?" ”

"Gurgle." There was a sound of footsteps.

"My lord, the king has always reported that now that we have arrived near Phi Dao, do we need to rest for the night on Phi Dao?" At this time, Hao Dayong's voice sounded behind him again.

"No need." Pang Gang said lightly: "Order the fleet to speed up and immediately march towards Dandong!" ”

"Yes!"

The Dandong Qing army garrisoned the camp

The sky gradually darkened, the whole land fell into silence, in the middle of the Qing army camp, there was a large tent, at this moment in this tent a group of Manchu officers were sitting in front of a low desk, in front of them put a plate of cooked food made of beef and sheep barbecue, in front of them there was also a jar of wine, and next to them sat a young woman to pour wine for them.

In the middle of this group of officers is sitting a big man in red armor with a red flag, this big man is about 1.78 meters tall, with a beard on his face, and he is pouring a bowl of wine into his mouth at the moment.

"Hahaha...... Joyfully. The officer laughed and hugged the woman beside him, stretched out his big dustpan-like hand to the woman next to him, touched her delicate body, and laughed in his mouth: "It's still a Han girl, it's white, soft, and it's also very cool, it's much stronger than our full of girls!" ”

After the officer finished speaking, he was still groping around the body of the woman beside him, and squeezed hard from time to time, although the woman was squeezed painfully, but still forced a smile and poured him wine.

The officers in the big tent laughed at this time, and one of the officers said with a smile: "Lord Commander, although you are our Baturu of the Manchu Dynasty, if this word is transmitted back to the clan, be careful that those women in the clan are not finished with you." ”

Another officer retorted: "Who said it, I think what Lord Aobai said is quite reasonable, the Han women are stronger than our Manchurians, whoever dares to say that it is not then give me the girls around him!" ”

"Hahaha......"

A group of officers laughed wildly, and laughed so wickedly. Ao Bai picked up the bowl, took a sip of wine, and said in a low voice: "It's a pity, now, this southern invasion doesn't have our share, otherwise we can grab a few more girls." ”

Speaking of this, everyone fell silent, these people knew that the reason why they were assigned to this remote place was Huang Taiji's punishment for their loss of Phi Dao, which had been lost for several months, but they could only look at the sea and sigh, and the Ming army on Phi Island actually intensified its efforts to send sailors to patrol the coastline, as long as there were ships full of people passing by, they would be sunk immediately.

There were not many ships full of people, and after several months of blows, there were now fewer and fewer ships that could go to sea, and in such a state, let alone recovering Phi Dao, even if it was to resist the attack of the Phi Dao sailors.

Thinking of this, Ao Bai's heart was irritable, he threw the bowl to the ground and said loudly: "What a fucking bad luck, if it weren't for the damn Han dog on Phi Island, we wouldn't have fallen to this point, and when the emperor returned to the dynasty this time, I had to ask the emperor to build more ships, kill all the men on Phi Island, and use the women as military records to relieve the hatred in my heart." Damn, don't drink it, the more you drink this wine, the more annoying it becomes, or go back and be happy! ”

After saying that, Ao Bai picked up the woman beside him, put her on his shoulder, and strode back despite the woman's screams and beatings, and the moon in the sky also hid in the clouds, as if he couldn't bear to see such a scene......

The sky was slightly brightened, and you could already faintly see the blue waves gently lapping on the beach.

There is a lookout fort built with stones on the beach in the east of Dan, this lookout fort is not big, can only accommodate seven or eight people, this lookout fort is the only lookout point in this radius of more than ten miles, their task is to be responsible for observing whether there are ships of the Ming army on the seaside, and release the warning signal in time, but since the completion of this lookout fort, the ships of the Ming army have never been seen, so it has gradually become a symbol of the surname, some days ago there were people who proposed to remove this lookout fort, Save the waste of manpower and material resources of the Qing Dynasty.

At this moment, on the platform of this lookout fort, seven or eight Qing soldiers were sleeping around a fire that had been extinguished, and some of them were still snoring slightly, not noticing that a mighty fleet was overtaking them on the sea more than ten miles away from them.

When the fleet was two miles away from them, a number of small boats were lowered from the large ships that were at the front, and soon some people climbed down the soft ladders of the large ships, and in a short time hundreds of small boats came rapidly towards the shore......

A young soldier opened his eyes, glanced at his companion who was still sleeping next to him, cursed a few words in his mouth, and reluctantly took out a wooden bucket from the corner, ready to go to a well behind the lookout to fetch water, who made him the easiest person to bully among these people.

Just as the young soldier was about to walk down the watchtower with the barrel, his eyes inadvertently swept to the sea to the south, and suddenly his eyes suddenly froze.

There was a snoring sound from his mouth, and his left hand trembled involuntarily, and after a few moments, a sound came out of his mouth.

"Uncle Yin Deben, Brother Blache, wake up, there is a ship coming over on the sea."

"Everyone, hurry up!"

With the shout of the young soldier, everyone who was still sleeping opened their eyes one after another.

"What's the matter, Achuhui, you didn't go to fetch water early in the morning, but instead shouted something here, do you want to be beaten?" The people who were awakened scolded angrily.

"No, ship...... A ship is coming on the sea! Achuhui's trembling hand continued to point to the south.

When everyone followed Ah Chuhui's fingers, although they did not have a high-grade cargo like a clairfront mirror in their hands, they could still see with the naked eye dozens of black-pressed ships appearing in front of them, and what was worse was that there were hundreds of small boats in front of these ships that were struggling to row towards them.

After less than a few blinks of time, one of the oldest Qing soldiers slapped A Chuhui's head and scolded loudly: "You bastards, what are you still doing in a daze, why don't you go and light the wolf smoke!" ”

"Oh!"

The remaining Qing soldiers scattered like birds and beasts.

"Let's work harder, hurry up and rush to the beach!"

Hao Dayong stood at the front of a small boat, facing the stern, and roared loudly at the dozens of sergeants who were paddling. His task now is to try to get rid of the people inside the lonely lookout fort standing on the beach in front of him before the alarm is raised.

"Whoa!"

Under Hao Dayong's urging and encouragement, their boat was the first to rush onto the beach, and Hao Dayong was the first to jump from the bow onto the beach, struggling to rush towards the lookout fort not far away.

But when he had just run a few steps, he noticed a thick cloud of black smoke rising from the watchtower, which was less than three hundred paces away from him, and this black smoke was so clear in the early morning of April.

"Still discovered."

Hao Dayong pulled out the handcuff on his waist with some chagrin, turned around and shouted: "Brothers, follow me and kill those damn tartars!" ”

Under the leadership of Hao Dayong, more than 30 foot soldiers armed with Mini rifles quickly rushed forward, and soon a burst of gunfire sounded in front of them, and then it fell silent.

When Pang Gang stepped on the beach in a small boat, the wolf smoke on the lookout fort had been extinguished, and Hao Dayong stood on the beach and knelt down on one knee in front of him and pleaded: "My lord, you are so incompetent that you let the Tartars give a signal, please punish the lowly duty!" ”

Pang Gang sighed slightly in his heart, and quickly stepped forward to help him up and comforted: "Hao Qian doesn't have to blame himself, this kind of thing is originally based on luck, who let us have bad luck, it doesn't matter, when Tartar knows, we will beat him openly." Mr. Hao Qian, are you confident? ”

Hao Dayong stood up straight, puffed his chest and said, "Don't worry, my lord, I promise to screw off the heads of those Tartars and kick them as balls!" ”

"That's good, you quickly bring someone to assist the soldiers behind you, move all the things down, we have to rush to Dandong as quickly as possible."

Pang Gang smiled slightly and patted him on the shoulder as a sign of encouragement, and although the scene of a young man patting a middle-aged man in his forties on the shoulder seemed a little funny, no one thought there was anything wrong with it.

In the Qing army camp in Dandong, Ao Bai patted his still slightly heavy head and walked out of the big tent, and the sunlight that had already reached the treetops made his eyes a little dazzling.

Ao Bai covered his eyes with his hands, and when he squinted, he saw that his deputy, Alkhatu, was trotting towards him, shouting as he ran.

"My lord, it's not good, the wolf smoke from the lookout fort in front of me just now seems to have risen, but it will be extinguished in a while, and there must be trouble ahead."

"What, wolf smoke?" Ao Bai frowned, "It's burned up but it's extinguished, did you send someone over to see it?" ”

Alhatu panted and said, "Not yet, waiting for you to speak?" ”

"Stupid, what are you waiting for, send someone quickly!" Ao Bai said angrily.

Alhatu then asked, "What about ...... Shall we start the wolf smoke immediately? ”

"No way!" Ao Bai hesitated for a moment and said: "The wolf smoke was extinguished just after it was burned, it is very likely that it was the mistake of those minions, if we also ignited the wolf smoke, then the matter will be serious, so Sheng Jing will also be alarmed, or send someone over to take a look first." ”

Although Ao Bai is five big and three thick, his surname is very cautious, but he didn't expect that it was his cautious surname that brought a big disaster to the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Just as Ao Bai was anxiously waiting for the news from the front, a thousand cavalrymen wearing fiery red cloaks had already rushed towards Dandong in two directions, left and right, and behind them were more than 5,000 foot soldiers running forward.

When the cavalry was spotted at the lookout fort set up behind the Qing army's main camp, the cavalry had already rushed to a distance of less than a hundred paces from them.

Soon, one by one, the ignited earth-shaking thunderbolts were thrown into this watchtower, and in the earth-shaking explosion, this watchtower was shaken into the sky......
