Jin Shenghuan only had 10,000 horses, and with the help of sailors, he advanced north as fast as possible along the east bank of the Yellow River.

Suqian because of the original Ming army guerrilla Zhao Hongming suddenly led troops to attack the county government at night, with gunpowder to kill the Qing army general Zhang Cunren, the Qing army stationed in Suqian abandoned the city and fled north, Jin Shenghuan did not waste an arrow and a bullet, and easily took the county seat of Suqian. Then he went to Xuzhou non-stop.

The defense of the first line of Xuzhou was originally in charge of Zhang Cunren, Zhang Cunren died, the Qing army was not well dispatched, and the towns along the way were lost, and Jin Shenghuan killed the city of Xuzhou at an astonishing speed.

Xuzhou is one of the ancient Kyushu, from the end of the Yuan Dynasty to the end of the Ming Dynasty for two or three hundred years, Xuzhou can be described as a lot of disasters and difficulties, Yuan to Zheng 12 years of the right prime minister to get rid of his relatives and lead the army, suppressed the Xuzhou Li Er uprising, bombarded the city with 100 cannons, the city was destroyed, and then rebuilt the city at the foot of Kui Mountain, renamed Wu'an Prefecture.

During the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, Wu'an City was abolished, and it was still moved back to the original site to rebuild Xuzhou City. The city wall is built with bricks and stones, the circumference is more than nine miles, the height of the city and the width of the bottom are two zhang three, and the top width is one zhang and one. The city gate is open in four directions: the east is called Heqing Gate, the west is said to be Tongbian Gate, the south is called Ying'en Gate, and the north is called Wuning Gate. The outer ring of the city is a moat, and the depth and width are three zhang each.

Tomorrow four years, the Yellow River bursts, the water depth is one zhang three, the city is completely flooded, so it moved to the south of the city twenty miles to rebuild, Xuzhou moved the city again.

In the first year of Chongzhen, the water receded, and the silt and sand in the city were as thick as one to five meters. When the soldiers prepared Tang Huan to rebuild on the original site, it is called Chongzhen City, and the scale and shape of the city are similar to and overlap with the underground Hongwu City. The east gate and north gate of the city follow the old name, the west gate is renamed Wu'an Gate, and the south gate is renamed Kuiguang Gate.

Right now. Xuzhou may face another huge catastrophe, because Jin Shenghuan received an order to take Xuzhou as quickly as possible at all costs.

The black-clothed Xuanjia Qin army. With lightning speed, he killed under Kuiguang Gate, and immediately divided his troops to besiege Wu'anmen in the west.

Zheng Sihai's fleet was moored on the river, protecting the logistics ships on the river, and the clouds and sails on the river covered the sun, the oars were like a wall, and the people were noisy.

Xuzhou originally had 2,000 defenders, which were commanded by Meler Zhangjing Mandula. After Zhang Cunren was killed in Suqian, the 3,000 Qing troops in Suqian fled back to Xuzhou and were integrated. Mandula had 5,000 men in his hands.

Originally, 5,000 against 10,000, it would not be a problem for Mandura to hold Xuzhou, and Duoduo also sent a strict order if Xuzhou was lost. It will be questioned.

Mandula came to the south gate in person. Constantly boosting morale, the thousands of Qing troops who fled back from Suqian were sluggish, Duoduo was defeated, and the main general Zhang Cunren died violently, which dealt them too much blow.

Mandura, who saw that his morale was so low, was so worried that for the sake of his own life, he carried all the gold and silver treasures he had accumulated to the city. Distribute it to the soldiers at the head of the city. The Qing soldiers received the silver of the white flowers, and their morale finally improved a lot.

Outside the South Gate. The black banner of the Qin army is like a dark cloud, coupled with the black-clothed armor on their bodies, the whole gives people a feeling of steel-like cold and hard, and the dignified momentum, before the siege of the city, there is a feeling that the black cloud is crushing the city and wants to destroy it.

"Look, what's that?"

"It's a red-clad cannon, oh my God!"

"Look, there are so many red-coated cannons of the enemy"

The Qing soldiers at the head of the city suddenly became in a commotion.

"What? What nonsense! Mandula hurriedly rushed over, and a Qing soldier hurriedly pointed it out to him, "Lord Zhang Jing, look, the Qin army has brought a lot of cannons." ”

Mandula followed the soldier's hope, and his back couldn't help but feel a chill, but he saw that the Qin army actually pushed twenty red-clothed cannons and pressed towards the south gate;

In addition, there are nearly 100 kilograms of Fran cannons, which are being unloaded from under the ship.

Mandula was not mistaken, in order to quickly capture Xuzhou before Duoduo reacted, it can be said that Daqin had made a bloody investment.

This time, Jin Shenghuan transported twenty Hongyi cannons, the red-clothed cannons were called Manchu Qing cannons, and the Qin army loved to call them Hongyi cannons. Of course, no matter what it's called, his power will not be compromised.

Jin Shenghuan only brought 10,000 horses, in addition to the concept of more expensive soldiers, but also to fool Duoduo, making him think that 10,000 Qin troops were unlikely to quickly break through Xuzhou City, which was defended by 5,000 Qing troops.

As everyone knows, although the number of Qin troops on the East Road is small, the equipment is the most terrifying, and these equipment were covered on the ship before, looking like grain and grass.

Fooled, fooled! Mandula was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly ordered his own soldiers: "Go quickly, quickly ask Prince Yu to send troops to reinforce Xuzhou, and tell Prince Yu about the situation of the enemy army, go quickly!" ”

"Wow!" The soldiers took their waist knives, rushed down the road with rolling belts, took dozens of people, and rushed out of the city from the north gate to ask for help.

Mandula felt that he could not sit still, so he called his adjutant Xu Liangcai and said: "You take a thousand cavalry, take advantage of the enemy's unstable foothold, give the enemy a dismount first, and go quickly." ”

All the cities in Xuzhou added up, and there were only 1,000 cavalry, so Xu Liang got the order and had to fight hard.

The Wu'an Gate in the west suddenly opened, and the suspension bridge on the moat "Zaza" was lowered with a continuous sound;

A thousand Qing troops were about to fight, and two hundred paces away, several Qin army rangers were already prepared, quickly jumped off their horses, took off the rocket on the victory hook, and the fire fold was blown and ignited in the wind, and the fuse was quickly lit

Chirp! Chirp! Chirp! A few strange sounds, three rockets with dazzling tail flames, whistling towards Wu'anmen, in the city of an exclamation, the Qing army that had just rushed out of the city immediately ushered in a baptism of blood and fire.

Rumble! Boom! Three loud bangs in a row, earth-shattering, three fires rose into the sky, and the city tower trembled.

The drawbridge that had just been put down was blown off in an instant, and the Qing soldiers who rushed out turned on their backs, screaming incessantly, and some severed limbs and stumps were swept to the city by the violent shock wave;

The frightened war horses in the city gate cave were rampage, trampling on each other, some neighed and rushed into the icy moat, Xu Liangcai, who took the lead out of the city, couldn't even find the body, his war horse was blown into two, his intestines flowed all over the ground, and his body was scorched black by the fire.

The Qin army's rockets have all heard of it, and it is rumored that it is called a god;

But none of these people in Xuzhou City have ever seen its power;

At this moment, the tragic scene under the city gate was shocking, and the power was really more terrifying than the red-clothed cannon.

Mandu Lama originally sent Xu Liangcai out of Lu to give the Qin army a dismount, but the soldiers and horses did not cross the drawbridge, but were attacked by the Qin army, and more than a dozen people were killed, and because the war horses were frightened and trampled on each other, there were dozens of dead, the city gate was killed and wounded everywhere, the drawbridge was also blown up, and the body of the deputy general Xu Liangcai was gone.

The little morale that Mandu Lama had only been inspired by the gold and silver treasures was blown away in an instant, and the Qing army at the head of the city was full of ashes and had a sense of kinship!

Boom! Boom! Boom! The war drums of the Qin army then sounded, and the big drum was beaten, and the sound shook the heavens and the earth, and the heavens and the earth were solemn.

Looking from the south gate, I saw that the Qin army was pressing towards the city like a black cloud, and the majestic momentum seemed to be able to collapse Xuzhou City at any time.

"Prepare for war! Prepare for battle! Mandu Lama roared hysterically, his voice was trembling, in front of the Qin army, there were twenty Hongyi cannons, and another eighty thousand catties of Furang machine guns, and the muzzles of black holes were glowing with a cold ghostly light, just like the bloody mouths of monsters that devoured people.

One hundred artillery, the Qing army at the head of the city counted very clearly, and a full hundred artillery pieces gradually approached the south gate in the dull pace of the Qin army.

And on the south gate, the four short tiger squat cannons of the Qing army are not comparable to the artillery array of the Qin army, don't compare, if you insist on comparing the four tiger squat cannons, the Qing army at the head of the city will not have the confidence to defend it.

Jin Shenghuan dispatched 6,000 men and horses this time to press the south gate, and the order Qin Mu gave him was very simple: Hurry!

Xuzhou must be captured before Duoduo reacts, so the remaining thousands of men and horses are still camping, and he will press the army of six thousand.

The war drums suddenly stopped, there was a dead silence between heaven and earth, and the air seemed to freeze suddenly, and the black-clothed Qin army was as motionless as a mountain, leaving only the banner hunting and scrolling in front of the battle.

As soon as the artillery array was arranged, Jin Shenghuan, who was standing on the war horse, raised his battle knife, and the six thousand Qin troops immediately shouted in unison:

"Drop or not!"

"Drop or not!"

"Drop or not!"

This roar was like the roar of ten thousand tigers, majestic mountains and rivers, and smashed the city wall.

"Boom, boom them!" Mandu Lama roared inwardly.

His soldiers replied in a panic: "Lord Zhang Jing, I'm afraid our tiger squat cannon can't shoot that far."

"If you can't shoot that far, you have to shoot, fast! Shoot fast! ”

Rumble! Rumble! As if to embolden himself, several tiger squat cannons at the head of the city rang out, and the cannonballs flew out more than a mile away, and they fell down one mile away from the Qin army's main array.

Jin Shenghuan smiled coldly and raised his right arm again
