For the merchants and people in Fuzhou, the sudden appearance of Zheng's army was definitely an unprecedented disaster -- in order to keep the city, Wang Qiu personally patrolled the city to boost morale, Bian Yongyu commanded the provincial officials to seal up grain stores and liquor stores in order to hoard grain and survive the war, and Lu Chongyao was responsible for Ladinsov to replenish the city's defense forces -- only a small number of gentry with financial resources and status were able to get out of the city safely before Zheng's siege army came by bribery.

On May 17, the 46th year of Yongli, 30,000 Zheng troops began to carry out exploratory artillery bombardment of Fuzhou while building a trench to blockade the city.

Due to the reinforcement of the city wall of Fuzhou in the Ming and Qing dynasties, the two-and-a-half-inch and three-inch field guns owned by the Zheng army could not cause damage to it at all, and the number of three-and-a-half-inch artillery belonging to the Zheng army was quite limited, so the temptation of the Zheng army did not cause too much pressure on the Qing army defending the city, but strengthened the confidence of Wang Qiu and others to defend it.

Of course, Zheng Jun's temptation was not completely fruitless, and Zheng Jun found that the distribution of the Qing army was more troops on the east and west sides, while in the north and south of the city, there were fewer troops because of the barriers of Pingshan, Xihu, Yushan, and Wushan. However, there are also differences between the east and the west, because there is only one city gate in the west city, so the Qing army only has the banner of two battalions of Fubiao, and in the east city, there are three city gates such as the boat yard gate, the Tangjing gate, and the Yansheng gate, so the three battalions of the superintendent and the first battalion of the military standard are arranged in this direction.

"It looks like it's only hard smashing." After listening to the reports of the general staff of each division, Fujian Dusi Hong Gongzhu decided. "We have limited time, we must fight quickly," Hong Gongzhu commanded. "Order all divisions, no matter what method they use, within three days, they must set up the artillery for me on Jinji Mountain."

Jinji Mountain is actually not a mountain outside the Yansheng Gate, but a large mound overgrown with weeds, because the terrain is relatively high, it can make the artillery get a better shooting vision, so it was selected by Hong Gongzhu as the artillery position of the main attack force, but Hong Gongzhu can think that the Qing army is not a fool, so as soon as he saw Zheng Jun move, the once closed Yansheng Gate was opened from the inside.

"Pay attention, the captives are coming out." After the improvised position built by rejecting the horses, the Zheng army of two sentry posts was waiting, and now after hearing the order of the official, they all stood up and lined up a horizontal formation that was not very thick. "The rifle man checks the weapon, and the sword and shield man watches out for the artillery."

Before the commander's words landed, they were drowned out by the sound of cannons at the head of Fuzhou City. Fujian, Zhejiang, and Guangdong provinces were the first bastions of the Qing court to face the Ming and Zheng regimes, and they have always had the most troops, the most sophisticated armor and firearms, and according to the habit of putting the best equipment around the commander, Fuzhou, as the provincial capital, naturally has the strongest artillery in the entire Fujian Province. However, no matter how sophisticated the artillery is, the Qing army will not use it in vain, according to the habit inherited from the Ming Dynasty, the Qing army in Fuzhou on the front line of Yanshengmen no matter whether the range of the artillery they have is enough to get Jinji Mountain, a swarm of bees is playing, the momentum is amazing, but the effect is extremely poor, only a very small number of long-range Wucheng Yonggu general cannon fired ten catties of iron bullets to the Zheng army caused a lot of casualties.

"Steady." Watching the flying iron bullets hit their companions and then bounce back again, the sentry officers at both ends of the team didn't seem to hear the wails of their comrades. "Keep in formation, it's all steady."

At this time, the soldiers who had been prepared in the rear rushed forward one after another, dragging the wounded and dead out of the formation one by one, and when they dodged, the formation of the sentry became strict again, but it became more and more thin.

Before the smoke of gunpowder on the city dissipated, hundreds of Qing soldiers with whips in their mouths rushed out either wearing double cotton armor or shirtless, with the hideous expressions on their faces, they really looked like a group of evil ghosts rushing out of hell.

The two sentry posts, which had been reduced by nearly two percent, were firmly stopped in the direction of the Qing army's advance, and the damaged horse rejection was no longer enough to give them much help, but fortunately, the Qing army stopped the shelling for fear of accidental injury, which allowed them to concentrate on dealing with the enemy in front of them: "The first team, all of them, salvo!" ”

The sound of fried beans broke the short silence, and the Qing army that rushed forward suddenly withered, but at a distance of more than eighty paces, Zheng Jun's rifle was not enough to stop the Qing army's charge, not to mention, the Qing army also fought back with bird guns, and there were also people on Zheng Jun's side who fell to the ground in the shooting.

Fortunately, the Zheng army's shooting continued, and the supporting two-inch guns were also firing shotguns at the moment, because the capital was insufficient, so the Qing army, which did not dare to invest too much, could not exchange the advantage of numbers for victory, and had to pay a great price to rush into the Zheng army's array, at this moment, a battalion of the Qing army, which once had 500 people, has shrunk into a death squad of less than 100 people.

The Qing army death squad that rushed into the ranks of the Zheng army did not get too much bargain, and the sword and shield hands of the Zheng army quickly dragged them down, with the help of a short rectification time, the Zheng army's infantry men quickly arranged the gun forest, in the face of the neat assassination, the personal martial arts did not play a big role at all, and no matter how good the protection was, it could not stop the rolling gun array

"Fire, keep shelling them!" Wang Qiu, who supervised the battle, ordered angrily, so the city of Fuzhou was once again shrouded in gunsmoke, but this time the Zheng army did not continue to hold on, and they scattered so that most of the Qing army's shelling was just a waste of ammunition. "Who would want to attack the cannon again?"

Wang Qiu's questioning was a dead silence, just when his face was displeased, a thousand generals had the courage to come out of the column and said: "Controlling the platform, I think that the sea rebellion is deliberately luring the officers and soldiers out of the city to fight with them, with the intention of consuming the soldiers defending the city. ”

Wang Qiu frowned and swept the Qianzong, then looked at the generals with a look of agreement, and snorted coldly: "Doesn't this official know about the plot of the sea rebellion?" But once Hai Wei set up the cannon on Jinji Mountain, he will directly hit the city wall of Fuzhou, and if the city wall is lost, can Fuzhou City still be defended? ”

"My lord, if there are no soldiers, how can you hold it only by relying on the people." Hanako, the deputy general of the battalion in the supervising standard, bowed down and said. "Besides, the city wall of Fuzhou has been repaired many times in the previous dynasty and this dynasty, and there is a thick battle, and there is a blue brick wall, it will take a lot of time for the sea to defeat it, maybe when the reinforcements from the north and south arrive, the sea has not yet exploded, even if it is opened, as long as a sandwich wall is built inside, it will be helpless to make the sea back."

In the northeast corner of Fuzhou, Zheng Jun can use Jinji Mountain as an artillery position, but in other directions, Zheng Jun can only use civil fortifications to dig trenches and gradually approach, this tactic certainly makes Zheng Jun's casualty rate drop greatly, but the disadvantage is slow, and Fuzhou is located in the southern water network area, the groundwater is abundant, although the water seeping out of the trench can not be full of ditches overnight, so it also caused a lot of trouble to Zheng Jun

The Zuo Funing Division, which was adapted from Funing Town, naturally didn't want to cause this trouble, not to mention that they didn't have the combat skills to realize the approaching tunnel, so they used the most primitive and bloody ant-attached tactics, first driving the people to fill the moat, and then launching a fierce attack on the front line of Zaxianmen without interruption, although most of the time it was just a bluff, but it caused more pressure on the Qing army, which was also unexpected before the war

"Big Niuzi, you said that the cannon in this city is like thunder, do you still need us to fight against the sea rebellion?" In the vacant barracks of the Governor's Left Battalion, Fan Erbao, who was still a common man not long ago, inquired about his neighbors.

"No matter how loud this cannon is, it's useless, once the Zheng family attacks the city, we will be the first to fill it in." Neighbor Feng Niu hadn't answered yet, and Guan Wu on the side replied. "Are you kid scared to death?" Guan Wu is a gangster on the street, although he is criticized for stealing chickens and touching dogs, but he is actually very righteous. "However, it's useless to be afraid, when you fill it in, it's either killing or being killed."

"Fifth brother, I, I don't want to die, my mother is just one of my sons, and I want to send her to the end in a hundred years."

"It's up to you and me." Guan Wu glanced at Fan Erbao sympathetically. "If it was before, it would have been a big deal to spend some silver to dredge, but now even if the silver is stuffed, those who should go to the city have to go to the city, which is called loyalty to the country and martyrdom in the city." As he spoke, as he spoke, Guan Wu suddenly spat on the ground. "Actually, bullshit."

"Guan Wu, you keep quiet, there are people patrolling the camp outside, if you listen to it, report it up, wouldn't it be wronged to lose your head." It turned out to be Du San, who was a guy in the wine shop, hurriedly stopped Guan Wu's mouth. "The so-called life and death are determined by fate and wealth in the sky, this is a calamity set in our fate, and no one can escape."

", you kid still thinks you're running the hall, as soon as you open your mouth, don't talk about state affairs, forget it." Guan Wu* pouted disdainfully. "The wine shop is closed, and you have been brought in to be brave, and life and death are up to fate, I think, our lives are not in our own hands, and it should be changed to life and death."

"Die early, die late, it's all death." Du San seems to believe in Buddhism, so he looks at it very well. "Die early and be reincarnated early, and change to a better skin next time, and you don't have to suffer from this life."

Fan Erbao's mouth made a sound of teeth snapping: "Death, I'm afraid, I don't want to, I still want to see my mother." ”

"Erbao, don't do stupid things." Guan Wu saw that the love of the second treasure of the clan was not good, and grabbed this old neighbor. "If you escape, don't say that you may not succeed, even if you succeed, if a large number of soldiers rush to your house to arrest someone, won't it affect your mother." Fan Erbao sat there straight, tears flowed out at once, seeing this, Guan Wu smiled bitterly. "This thief is really fucking not letting people live"
