Before Kong Youde's words were finished, sneers began one after another, and many Zhang Jingjing, who had fought with the guerrilla battalion, let out disdainful laughter, Kong Youde stubbornly said: "The Eight Banners come and go like the wind, why abandon the long and short?" As long as the outside of Fuzhou is highlighted, it is a guerrilla attack outside the city, threatening the Ming army at all times, how can the Ming army besiege Fuzhou with peace of mind? ”

Kong Youde's words made everyone boo, and at that moment, Chahar Zhangjing stood up and said angrily: "Fart! The words of the Han people are really smelly, the Ming army outside the city has sharp weapons, the cavalry can't rush their formation at all, and the cavalry is conducive to running It was originally right, but the problem is that the Ming cavalry is still eyeing the enemy, how many cavalry will we send to the enemy? Yesterday at noon, several sorties were evenly matched, if our cavalry is exhausted, Fuzhou is empty, will General Kong dare to bear the big crime of losing Fuzhou alone? It's not as good as this, General Kong can take the Han army flag out of the city to fight with the Ming army, and we will press the Han army flag for the battle, how about it? ”

At that moment, everyone applauded, Kong Youde's face was white for a while, red for a while, although he was humiliated, he didn't dare to nod, Yang Bo, the Ming army, he had been taught in Lushun, and the bold words made here were nothing more than Huang Taiji had explained to him before leaving, he had to make a gesture hard, and he would never dare to let him go out of the city.

Seeing that the white flag was constantly provocative, Azig pretended not to know, Kong Youde was suddenly furious, slapped the table next to him, and said: "If you want to abandon Fuzhou, please take care of yourself, but Kong is a person who has received the great favor of the Great Khan, and there is no way to repay him, so today he will take Wuzhen Hachao to live and die with Fuzhou!" ”

After speaking, the angry Kong Youde strode out, and Geng Zhongming and all the divisions retreated together. Leaving the hall full of chatter.

After a long time, Azig said calmly: "There are no outsiders here, so I'll just say it." I can't all the elite of the white flag be lost here, Fuzhou can keep it, if it can't be defended......"

Looking at Azig's hideous face, everyone nodded in agreement, they were crippled by three Niu Lu in Jinzhou, and they also lost a lot of white tooth horns, and their vitality was greatly damaged. Not only did the Eight Banners sweep south, but they also had to withstand the fierce attack of the Ming army in Fuzhou, and they all had the intention of abandoning the city.

"Master. It's just that these Han dogs are staring, if you let the Great Khan know, how to explain it? Balha asked softly

Azig said with a murderous face: "They want to fight and let them fight, let's prepare for both hands......

Azig didn't know. His hesitation and luck cost him dearly. Everyone was discussing, and suddenly the sound of suona outside the city was loud, and the dull drum beat immediately sounded, everyone was shocked, and Azig grabbed the helmet: "I'm afraid that the Ming army will attack the city overnight, go, let Wuzhen Hachao go to the city!" ”

At the fourth watch, the drums of the Ming army camp, which had been rested for more than three hours, were endless. The soldiers of the battalions lined up in a neat formation outside the clearing, and waited quietly about a mile from the city wall. Unlike the last siege, in addition to their weapons, they also carried a shovel on their backs.

The failure of the storming of Fuzhou, because the head of the city of Fuzhou was guarded by the ironclad soldiers of Wuzhen Hachao, it was difficult for the soldiers to defend and expand the results of the battle, and the strong attack needed to pay a great price.

In the Chinese army, Yang Bo pondered with his hands behind his back in the brightly lit camp, surrounded by staff officers running around, and they kept conveying orders.

"1st and 2nd Battalion Alert of Fusiliers"

"The artillery battalion adjusted its angle and concentrated on bombarding the city wall"

"Logistics support battalion, you can push it up if you crash"

"The protective battalion has been assembled and is on standby for the time being"

"The firewood in the mountain camp has been collected, waiting for the fire to ......"

Rumble!

An eight-pounder cannon burst out of a fierce fire, and seven catties of iron roared towards the root of a certain section of the wall in the southern city of Fuzhou, and in the shaking of the ground, the bricks on the surface of the city wall were dented, and many broken bricks kept falling down, revealing the loess inside the masonry.

"Just aim at this wall and fight" Lu Ruohan, whose eyes were bloodshot, kept shuttling in the artillery camp,

Boom!

After two more shots, there were three holes in the city wall, although the masonry was knocked off a lot, but the loess inside was mixed with glutinous rice juice and built, and it was also quite strong, and digging with a shovel alone was definitely an effective and long stupid method.

The soldiers of the mountain infantry battalion were all carrying firewood, waiting for the artillery battalion to rest for a while, and with the battalion commander's order, all the soldiers ran to the place where they had just been bombarded, and soon, the trees piled up under the city wall rose at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Under another section of the wall, many sappers with shovels struggled to widen the cracks in the wall, they filled the gaps with a lot of gunpowder, and dug large holes at the base of the wall, and there was a trailer full of gunpowder ready to fill in.

Unfortunately, the power of this cart full of gunpowder was beyond everyone's expectations, as the sappers lit the fuse, a violent black smoke rose, and the roots of the wall did not move at all, to their disappointment, the power of black powder was not enough to break the city wall, except for the whole wall was burned black, the masonry outside did not loosen a few pieces, and as a last resort, the staff department canceled this thankless idea.

The firewood of the mountain infantry battalion began to be lit after it was piled high enough, and because the firewood was mixed with some fierce fire oil, the flames rushed up to the top of the city, lighting up half of the night sky, and the plan of the staff division was to burn the soft walls with fire, and then bombard them with artillery.

Lu Ruohan sat at the muzzle of the eight-pounder cannon without any appearance, looking at the huge fire from a distance, the six-pounder cannon was not powerful enough, it was used to cover the firepower of the city, and the eight-pounder cannon was responsible for bombarding the city wall, maintaining his concentration of ten cannons, repeatedly testing the trajectory and aiming, and now waiting for the critical moment to come.

The raging fire burned for more than half an hour, the fire weakened somewhat, the staff was worried that the temperature was not enough, and ordered the mountain battalion to continue to add firewood, and many soldiers carried firewood on their backs, using two catapults made by the logistics battalion to keep catapulting the entire tree doused with fierce fire oil under the city wall, but the fire still slowly weakened.

"Ready" Lu Ruohan looked up at the sky that had begun to glow slightly, and shook the red flag violently a few times. The muzzles of the three eight-pounder cannons spat out a large amount of smoke, and the red-hot iron whistled away, slamming into the walls with the hope of the people.

Bang!

The walls shook violently. Bringing up the dust of countless charcoals, large pieces of loess crackled and fell straight down, but unfortunately there was not much progress.

"Second set ready!" Lu Ruohan was a little nervous.

The second group of three cannons was lit again, and after a few moments, the sound of the cannons retreated violently, and in the light of the muzzle fire, three iron pieces whistled in.

That's when it happened. That section of the city wall suddenly made an earth-shattering loud noise, and an entire section of the city wall collapsed with a bang, and the sky was covered with dust. That section of the city wall fell to the ground in its entirety, and the first half of the city was plunged into the moat, and as soon as the blazing wall came into contact with the water, a large amount of white mist and hissing immediately appeared!

"Wan Sheng!"

The battalions of the Ming army resounded with earth-shattering cheers. Lu Ruohan is directing the third group to open fire. Tang Ma hurriedly ran over: "Your Excellency has an order, the artillery battalion will immediately expand the results of the battle and bombard it three more rounds, and strive to make a gap that can accommodate one company." ”

Lu Ruohan nodded and said to the third group: "Aim for me!" ”

Yang Bo was extremely excited after learning the results of the artillery battalion, and personally led the guards to the large battalion of the protection battalion to take command, and the artillery blasted Nancheng across a large hole that was more than five meters high and three or four meters high, and the defenders of Fuzhou were obviously panicked. They drove the coats and desperately carried stones and logs to fill the gap. From time to time, large stones were pushed down from the city walls, and seeing that the situation was critical, many archers appeared at the head of the city, and they were in full swing with the vigilant flintlock battalion.

The sky began to brighten, dozens of crash cars in the soldiers' slogans, squeaking slowly towards the gap, the artillery knocked out most of the Tucheng, but there were still thin bricks and stones in it that could not be opened, because the eight-pounder guns were all waiting to cool, the staff let the crash car roof up, as long as the gap can be expanded, Fuzhou City may be able to fight.

"The third battalion is ready to receive fire" Zhang Quan, who had been waiting for a long time, waved his hand, and the soldiers of the third battalion pressed towards the gap neatly in a company unit, and their task was to exchange fire with the Tartars at the gap, and cover the protection battalion with a ferocious salvo into the city for a fierce battle.

As the flintlock battalion continued to shoot guns, the archers at the head of the city screamed again and again, and no longer dared to show their bodies, and at this moment, there was another jubilation under the city, and a rushing car came to the gap and slammed into it several times, making a hole the size of a bathtub, and a beam of light was revealed, and the sharp-eyed soldiers could see the panicked figures behind the wall.

Bang bang!

The soldiers on both sides immediately opened fire through the doorway, and the Wuzhen Hachao in the city was urgently transferred to defend here, and their firecrackers let a few soldiers who were caught off guard be hit and fell to the ground, and soon, the flintlock battalion soldiers who reacted immediately counterattacked, and for a while, you came and went, and there was gunsmoke around the door.

The crash was still working hard, and every ferocious impact terrified the defenders in the city, and with the guns of the third battalion, there were almost no enemies standing behind the doorway.

With the cooperation of dozens of crashing cars, and under the attention of all the soldiers, the entire section of the city wall that had been roasted by fire for a long time suddenly collapsed, burying all the crashing cars in the masonry.

Fuzhou City is like a woman stripped of her clothes, naked in front of everyone, countless panicked clothes fled frantically towards the city, and many Wuzhen Hachao soldiers wearing iron armor subconsciously fell to the ground and crawled towards the covered place.

"Your Excellency has an order, all are not allowed to enter the city, and all are not allowed to enter the city!"

Tang Ma sent the emergency order to the third battalion and the protective battalion, Zhang Quan was stunned for a moment, and asked, "When did the adult say that he could enter the city?" ”

Tangma touched his head and shook his head: "I don't know"

He Jiu at the north gate and Tie Niu at the east gate received orders at the same time, and all departments were to prepare for sniping one mile outside the city, and no one was allowed to let go, and the cavalry battalion was cruising between the northeast and ready to pursue at any time.

Yang Bo looked up to the sky and said to the people around him: "Fuzhou, it's ours." ”

At the gap, a six-pounder cannon that was urgently pulled up suddenly opened fire, and in the fierce firelight, countless iron swooped towards the Houjin soldiers who were swarming towards the doorway, cutting down a piece like cutting wheat, and the power of the scattered bullets completely crushed their courage, and the soldiers who were lucky enough to survive under the artillery bombardment threw their weapons into their hands, ignoring the sharp butcher's knife of the white swing tooth, and even fled back to the city with the overseer's life.

At this moment, a huge, swarthy object fell from the sky, smashing the masonry in front of the doorway, the object made a loud noise after it landed, everyone looked at it, it was actually a Hongyi cannon of thousands of catties, and the Tartars were in a panic, and they actually used it to block the doorway.

"Blow the trumpet and get ready to enter the city!" Yang Bo, who was holding the clairvoyant mirror, saw that the firefight at the door had eased down, the time had come, and it was the most critical moment to seize Fuzhou, behind him, the three companies of the protective battalion were lined up in a neat formation, the spears in their hands were shining, and their bodies were wrapped in iron armor, like a group of armored machines......
