However, Dolgon received news yesterday that a group of Daming sailors had entered the Yalu River, burned, killed, and plundered in the rear, and was fierce and incomparable, and the defenders in the rear were vulnerable, with countless casualties, and had taken away thousands of women, money, and food.

The army's morale has been shaken, but it is too late to save him, and he hopes to use a decisive victory to reverse the recent disadvantage.

Unexpectedly, last night the Ming Emperor ran to the barracks and assassinated his younger brother Duoduo, who was the elder brother, cried for a long time, and the old hatred of the Ming Emperor was unresolved, and a bloody revenge was added.

Dolgon gritted his teeth, he couldn't wait to bring in fifty artillery pieces today, and he was about to attack the city.

now

Dolgon saw that the artillery array was basically set up, a cannon worth three million taels of silver, and the muzzle of the Sensen cannon was facing Shanhaiguan, which was majestic and majestic, and his heart was also full of spirit and pride for a while.

He was completely confident, with superior firepower, to crush the Ming army, the army rushed into Shanhaiguan, beheaded or captured the Ming Emperor alive, all new hatreds and old hatreds, will be clearly calculated today.

When Dolgon saw a yellow shadow appear on the Shanhai Pass, he used a telescope given by a Spanish merchant to observe it.

Seeing that it was the Ming Emperor who went to inspect the wall, and at the same time, the head of Duoduo hanging above the city gate also came into view, and Dolgon suddenly became angry.

He scolded loudly: "Zhu Youzhen! You, a sinister and vicious villain, are also worthy of being called the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty? ”

Zhou Lu didn't seem to hear Dolgon's scolding, so he didn't pay attention to it, and only talked to the city guards, Tang Ruowang and others.

Dolgon was ignored, and he was even more furious, roaring like thunder: "Zhu Youzhen! You answer me! How dare you assassinate my brother Dordor and slash you with a thousand swords today! After we went in, we slaughtered the city for three days without sealing the sword!! ”

Fan Wencheng also helped: "Huaxia should have changed hands a long time ago, Zhu Youzhen, are you like an emperor?" Does it look like an emperor? Do you have the virtues of an emperor? You're a tyrant! ”

After Zhou Lu and the guards finished speaking, they glanced outside the city and asked Lu Xiangsheng beside him: "Who is that old dog next to Dolgon?" It seems to be very positive. ”

"His name is Fan Wencheng, he was originally a great talent, and he took the initiative to take refuge in the Qing army in his early years."

Lu Xiangsheng roughly talked about the origin of Fan Wencheng.

"If you surrender, you will surrender, but if you want to harm the motherland so actively, it is not as good as a pig and a dog."

Zhou Lu thought of Long Xiao, Fan Wencheng and Long Xiao are the same kind of people, for their own interests, they don't care about anything, and they still come here, and they keep talking about morality or something, which is very ridiculous.

"Hahaha......"

Zhou Lu laughed out loud and responded, "Why do I want to be the kind of emperor you like?" You hate me, right, but not for long, because you all have to die today! ”

Crazy, crazy, very crazy!

"Long live my emperor!"

The Ming soldiers used the earth-shattering shout to swear their absolute support for the emperor.

Dolgon and Fan Wencheng were a little surprised, they heard from the shouts of the Ming soldiers that the morale of the Ming army was not ordinarily high, and they were extremely firm in their support for the emperor.

Dolgon turned his head to look at the artillery array, "Okay?" ”

The commander of the artillery team responded: "Return to the prince, after loading ammunition and loading ammunition, you can start aiming." ”

Dolgon explained: "Okay, ten of these cannons are specially aimed at Emperor Chongzhen, and if you can't kill him, you have to seriously injure him, see if he dares to be so crazy." ”

Artillery General: "Whew! ”

Dolgon didn't want the Ming Emperor to leave, so he continued to drag it out with words, and shouted again: "Zhu Youzhen! But this king thinks that it is you who die today! You know why? ”

"Because you bought a new cannon?"

Regarding the military situation of the Qing army's 3 million new cannons, Zhou Lu heard about it in the Qing army camp last night.

After Zhou Lu responded casually, he took off the cigar in his mouth, lit the cannon fuse, and issued an order at the same time, "Fire!" ”

He ...... He knows that? Dolgon was a little surprised, but when he imagined the scene of ten artillery pieces, aiming at the Ming Emperor's bombardment, he was proud in his heart, "Hehe, it's good if you know......"

Dorgon was not finished.

On the wall of Shanhaiguan, the flames flashed.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

The cannons roared one after another, and the sound pierced through the clouds and cracked the stones.

Cannonballs shot into the sky from the chambers.

"What's going on? Why did they fire? Dorgon looked suspicious.

Fan Wencheng said: "The regent is relieved, this place is definitely outside the range of the Ming army's artillery, and it is still ...... for them to fire the artillery."

"Boom-"

A cannonball explodes in front of Dolgon's horse, causing Dolgon's mount to fall to the side and Dolgon thrown off his horse.

Followed by

Explosions sounded continuously all around.

The artillery of the Qing army was heavily bombarded.

The Qing army, which thought it was outside the range of the Ming army, was defenseless at all, and was suddenly blown up.

Dolgon struggled to get up, wiped the mud and black ash from his face, looked confused, and exclaimed, "We are within range of Shanhaiguan, what is going on?" ”

He was not injured by virtue of his thick armor, but his horse was concussed by the explosion and could not get up.

Not only Dolgon, but everyone in the Qing army was in a state of confusion and panic.

How could a safe place outside the range be bombarded by the Ming Dynasty?

"Protect the Regent!"

"The Lord Regent is ...... away"

Dolgon's guards quickly pulled Dolgon and ran backwards, throwing away his armor and being embarrassed.

"Damn, almost." Zhou Lu slapped his thigh.

The cannon he lit was aimed at Dolgon, but unfortunately it missed and did not hit it.

John Tang, who had a golden beard, said in a strange tone: "I'm sorry Your Majesty, maybe the depression angle needs to be raised a little bit." ”

Just now, it was Tang Ruowang who personally helped Zhou Lu correct his aiming.

"It's okay, you have no merit." Zhou Lu said with a smile.

During this time, Tang Ruowang and other artillery-making expert teams rushed to work overnight to renovate most of the artillery on Shanhaiguan, greatly improving the firing range and accuracy.

In times like these, you can't ask too much.

It is already very accurate to be able to beat Dolgon and fall off the horse, how can you blame John Tong.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is really a genius of firearms, if it is improved according to Your Majesty's vision, the cannon that will be recast will be more advanced than the new European cannons, regardless of the loading speed, the power of the shells, the range, the accuracy, etc. John Tang exclaimed.

"That's natural, I have God's favor, do you want to consider switching from Christianity to our Taoism?" Zhou Lu took a puff of his cigar, slowly exhaled the smoke, and said with a smile.

"This ......" John Tang didn't dare to answer, so he could only laugh dryly.

"Rest assured, I believe in religious freedom." Zhou Lu was just joking, calling a Christian missionary to convert to Taoism, which is unlikely and unnecessary.

At this time, one of the gunners said: "Your Majesty, the shells are loaded." ”
