Feng Qin squinted his eyes, a touch of not waking up, his right hand was raised slightly, and those two words were about to be shouted.

Suddenly.

Next to the ladder under the city, a shirtless man yelled: "the tartars!" A tiger pounced on the back of the soldier beside him, and his hands clasped the throat of the soldier like iron tongs.

His back was covered in blood.

Bloodstains like spider's webs.

The people who were driven away looked at each other, and in an instant they came to their senses, like a raging hornet sting towards the nearest Qing soldiers, some rushing towards the archers, some rushing towards the thick-armored foot soldiers. In a sting, whether or not the poison sac stabs the enemy, this life is over.

Feng Qin's raised hand was frozen in mid-air, and he had never been so shocked as he was today when he was fished out of the deep well by Zhai Zhe and brought out of the plug.

The martyrdom of a moth to a flame. The Ming Dynasty has these people, but it is a pity that they are not worthy of their officials and emperors.

After a moment of panic, the Qing captives swung their knives at these Han people who turned against them, and the corpses were piled up on the ground, and there were no screams, only madness.

"Hit!" The dying Han people looked up to the city.

His right hand fell from mid-air, and Feng Qin closed his eyes slightly.

"Shi Quan!" Yuan Qizhou roared.

"Bang......" The lead in the sky is scattered.

Long arrows flew back and fired, and there was a muffled snort at the head of the city, and when you saw the Han people under the city, the soldiers would feel embarrassed if they shouted loudly.

"Stand back, load!"

The Birdman stepped back, hiding behind the sword and shield soldiers, expertly reloading gunpowder and lead.

"Shi Quan!"

Once it starts, it will not stop, and more than 2,000 bird guns will blast both sides of the north gate into a beehive.

A mile away, the siege shield carts came slowly, followed by a dense crowd of soldiers like migrating ants.

Feng Qinchang took a breath, "Rocketeer prepare!" Firearms Battalion Uptown! ”

Wooden boxes were carried up to the city, containing oil, poison, fireballs, incendiary bombs, and other items. In the cave directly above the north city gate, boiling black oil was emitting green smoke, and soldiers in cloth shirts held a long-handled iron scoop and stared at the gap under their feet.

"Siege!" In the distance, Duoduo swung his sword.

When they reached the vicinity, the shield cart suddenly increased, and the rockets at the head of the city soared into the air, adding a heat wave under the scorching sun.

With a shrill cry, the firebird glided down from the city, landed in front of the wooden shield car and burst, sparks and oil stained the wooden shield car, which was the divine fire flying crow prepared by the Hangzhou City Ordnance Battalion.

After Chen Zilong took over the city of Hangzhou, the craftsmen of the Ordnance Bureau and the Ordnance Bureau became the busiest crowd. It turns out that they can make unusable bird guns, and they can also make all kinds of ingenious firearms, depending on how Shangguan treats this matter. Chen Zilong assigned a quantitative task to each craftsman, and the bird gun made had to be cast three times by himself before it could be considered acceptable, and there was a reward of five coins of silver for one bird gun. The rest, such as poisonous fireballs, 10,000 enemies, divine fire flying crows, etc., each has different rewards.

Although the money given is not much, there is an advantage to being a craftsman in the Ordnance Bureau and the War Bureau, and the government supports them. From the moment of the siege, the price of rice in Hangzhou began to rise, and the elderly and weak women of poor families had to wait on the streets every day to receive help from the government's porridge shacks, and the food provided could only ensure that they would not starve to death.

Fire ravens flutter in the air, making strange curves, and the sound of streaks across the air is a hundred times more terrifying than the actual crow call.

The caster tried hard to control their trajectory, and although it was difficult, most of them still ran for the shield cart. After many shield carts were set on fire, the siege soldiers who hid behind them sped up.

The first group of armor soldiers had already set up the ladder at the head of the city, and the foot soldiers rushed to stand near the wall, where they could avoid the blows of the city, and the archers were shooting at the birds. Looking up along the wall, you can see the long-pole bird overhead entering and exiting the battlement.

Suddenly, a plate of turbid boiling water poured down against the walls of the city, and it was not uncommon to suffer from the heat. The armor was too heavy to climb the ladder during the siege, and most of the Qing captives wore chain armor, and there was only a thin layer of armor in the iron armor, which could not block the boiling stinky water and tung oil.

When the Qing soldiers were in a mess, piles of burning firewood flew down from the city, and the area around the ladder was immediately plunged into a sea of fire. The armor soldier who had climbed halfway was grilled in mid-air, and he didn't dare to jump down looking at the flames under his feet. With a row of bangs overhead, the body that was hit fell like a stake.

Feng Qin carefully observed the battle situation, and he was very well prepared.

There are still armor soldiers with three-eyed guns patrolling under the city walls, just waiting for urgent reinforcement.

As long as the water gate of Hangzhou is unblocked, materials from all over eastern Zhejiang can enter the city, and Duoduo is afraid that it will not be so easy to capture this city.

Two hours passed, and the Jurchen archers' bows were no longer as smooth as they were at the beginning, and the clarion call for retreating soldiers sounded in the Qing camp.

Feng Qin went down the city wall, replaced the soldiers guarding the city, and returned to the governor's yamen.

This is the center of the battlefield, and it is only the corner of the battlefield.

Chongming Island.

warships docked,

Gu San Mazi jumped down lightly and bowed his hand to the man who came to greet him on the shore.

"Old crab, you're really lively here!"

The old crab was the nickname of Chongming Island's chief Gu Biao when he was a pirate, and he earned this name for his rampant domineering back then. Gu Biao once led a group of hungry people to do pirates here, and the government sent troops to kill them, and the two sides won and lost each other. Later, the government felt that it was not cost-effective, so they recruited him and sent a magistrate to the island to bring Chongming Island under the jurisdiction of the imperial court.

"Old Mazi, you voted for Ning Shaojun Town, and you don't remember to come back to see your brother."

Gu Biao punched him in the chest, both of them were surnamed Gu, and they were both pirates, so the relationship was exceptionally harmonious.

Turning his head and seeing that Zhang Mingzhen was urging the warship to dock, Gu San Mazi lowered his voice and said: "This is Deputy General Ning Shaozhang, who was ordered to come here to attack Wusongkou and want to settle down on Chongming Island." ”

Gu Biao snorted, "Come on, come on, Wu Song's chief soldier Wang Zhiren's sailor also arrived here five days ago, I'm afraid that no one dares to go ashore." ”

Gu San Mazi pursed his lips, did not refute him, and asked, "Is there any news from the shore?" ”

"Of course there is, if you don't go ashore to get food, these people will not starve to death." Gu Biaoxian was very irritable. Chongming Island was originally his base camp, but now that everyone is here, he can only hide in the water village in the northeast corner. Wang Zhiren has nearly 20,000 people, and Zhang Mingzhen has at least 5,000 people, and he dares to offend these great gods with a small boss.

"Does anyone resist the shaving order?"

"It's all over the place!" Gu Biao came to the spirit, "A few days ago, I heard that Jiangyin was reversed, and the ambush wiped out all the Qing soldiers who went to encircle and suppress 300 Qing soldiers, and the little minions who went ashore to listen to the news yesterday reported back, and Hou Tong in Jiading County also rebelled, and I heard that Li Chengdong, the general soldier of Songjiang, was preparing to encircle and suppress. ”

Zhang Mingzhen went ashore and followed behind Gu San Mazi, just when he heard Gu Biao's words, he frowned and asked, "Is your news accurate?" ”

Gu Biao looked him up and down, and he didn't bow to him, saying, "Believe it or not!"

Zhang Mingzhen was not angry, and asked: "Gu Jiang, can you always send two brothers to guide me!" "The strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, Gu Biao is very familiar with Songjiang Mansion here, and doing it well can be a big help for him.

Gu Biao was surprised and asked, "You want to go ashore?" ”

Zhang Mingzhen nodded.

"When will it come out?"

Zhang Mingzhen looked up at Shui Tian and replied: "If Li Chengdong wants to encircle and suppress Jiading, then it should be sooner rather than later." If you go to Chongming Island, you will also rest, and if you go to Wusongkou, you will also rest. ”

Gu Biao put away his previous contemptuous eyes, gave a thumbs up, and said, "I am convinced that Vice General Zhang will do this." ”

While a few people were talking, several big ships came with the word "king" on the bow.

Wang Zhiren, the chief soldier of Wusong, heard that the soldiers and horses of Ningshao Town had come from the south, and he felt very cordial. In that year, he was changed from the Ningshao General Army to the Wusong General Army, and Zhai Zhe took over his position.

Gu Biao first said goodbye and returned to the water village to gather the guide, and Zhang Mingzhen walked over to the warship.

When Wang Zhiren was the commander-in-chief of Ning Shao, he was still a guerrilla in Shipu, and when he saw the old Shangguan, he naturally went to meet him.

Wang Zhiren hurriedly got off the boat and almost slipped on the beach, and when he saw Zhang Mingzhen, he didn't say hello, and asked anxiously: "Why did you come here?" ”

"On the orders of King Lu, come and attack Susong!"

"General Zhai has captured Hangzhou, is the news true?"

"Of course it's true!" Zhang Mingzhen looked excited. This was the credit of Ning Shaojunzhen, and he also felt that his face was full of brilliance.

"King Lu succeeded to the throne of the prison in eastern Zhejiang, and ordered me to recover Songjiang Mansion!" Zhang Mingzhen said that King Tilu had the most, and he didn't say much about Zhai Zhe. said that he was ordered by Zhai Zhe to make him like Zhai Zhe's general, mentioning King Lu, he was a minister of the Ming Dynasty.

Before Zhai Zhe ordered Zhang Mingzhen to go to meet King Lu, King Lu was very kind to him, making him feel that he was dying as a confidant.

"King Lu has been appointed as a prisoner?" Wang Zhiren was pleasantly surprised. King Lu served as the supervisor of the country, and Zhai Zhe captured Hangzhou, indicating that there was still hope for the world of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhang Mingzhen hesitated for a moment and replied, "Exactly!" "When he left Ningshao, King Lu had not yet served as a prisoner, but it is estimated that the time is almost now.

Wang Zhiren turned his head to look at Zhang Mingzhen's warship, shook his head and said: "There are more than 30,000 soldiers under the command of Li Chengdong, the general soldier of the Qing Dynasty Susong, and you have brought too few soldiers and horses!" ”

"Please help me!" Zhang Mingzhen knelt on one knee.

Wang Zhiren stretched out his hand to pull him up, and sighed: "Zhai Zongbing did it, of course I did it, but most of my subordinates are sailors, and I am afraid that I am not Li Chengdong's opponent when I go ashore." ”

"It's okay, I'm asking him to take care of one thing or the other."

This is Zhai Zhe's order to him, of course, Zhang Mingzhen also has his own ideas.

In mid-June, Wang Zhiren's sailor captured the Wusong River, and Zhang Mingzhen led 3,000 foot soldiers to wait for the shore and went straight to Jiading County. Xu Fuyuan and Xia Yunyi of several societies heard the news and came to join the army and joined Wang Zhiren's soldiers. These people were deeply rooted in Songjiang, and they contacted Gu Yanwu and others to inquire about Li Chengdongjun's news.

Under the city of Jiaxing, 4,000 soldiers and horses marched on the left and right wings, and on the opposite side were swarms of village soldiers, huddled into a ball and scolded.

Li Chengdong touched his bare head, and most of the Han people who had just shaved had this habit.

"Such a person dares to rebel!" Li Chengdong showed a cruel smile, I had heard that there were many rich families in Jiading City, and he could make a lot of money after killing a hundred people, why not do it?
