"Grass people Su Qian, see the garrison."

As soon as he saw Li Liancheng, the envoy bowed heavily and said in a respectful tone, giving him enough face.

"You are the messenger sent by General Su?" Li Liancheng, who was sitting on the main seat, looked at the man in black in front of him and asked.

He noticed that there was a layer of calluses growing on the fingers of the man's palms, and at a glance he knew that he was an elite soldier with a weapon in his hand all year round.

"Exactly." Su Yan's guard cavalry Su Qian straightened up and said, "On the orders of General Su, I came to discuss with the garrison about attacking the city tomorrow." ”

"What General Su wants to do, I will try my best to do it." Li Liancheng said.

Su Qian didn't explain directly, but asked rhetorically: "How many soldiers are willing to follow the garrison to get into trouble?" ”

"In the past few days since the siege of the city, I have been knocking on the side of the corporals under my command, if nothing else, the four generals under my command are willing to rise up together, and the other three generals have no will."

"In order to prevent problems in tomorrow's operation, these three people are asked to take care of the garrison on their own. Late tomorrow night, I hope that the garrison will open the city gate as scheduled, light the torch and shake it three times, and then our army will attack. The messenger said.

"I understand that it is just that the risk of an incident is extremely high, and if I don't give the brothers something, it is difficult to guarantee that the brothers are willing to ...... with me."

Before Li Liancheng finished speaking, Su Qian understood what he meant, his face remained unchanged, interrupted Li Liancheng's words, and said: "Rest assured, Lord Garrison, after the Quanzhou Mansion City is taken by our army, you and the soldiers under your command who participated in the uprising can be rewarded with gold and silver." ”

"That's very good." Li Liancheng said with a smile on his face.

After receiving the assurance of the envoy, Li Liancheng was in a good mood, and also revealed all the current military information in Quanzhou Mansion to Su Qian:

In addition to the 5,000 green battalion soldiers in the city, the prefect Shen Wei also recruited more than 1,000 township warriors and more than 300 family soldiers, and the people in the city were unwilling to participate in defending the city, so most of the township brave and strong men were idle hooligans and ruffians on the streets, and the township warriors and family members did not need to worry, as long as the battle situation was unfavorable, they would collapse by themselves.

However, there is a little hope that Brother Su will go back and tell your family General Su, then Li Qi seems to be a little suspicious of me, he also transferred troops from several other gates to Yichengmen to participate in the defense of the city, although they nominally listen to my moderation, but I estimate that they should actually come to monitor me, so after the city gate is opened, we must first deal with the more than 400 people......"

……

"That's what he told you?"

In the siege camp outside the city, Su Yan looked at Su Qian, who was standing below, frowning.

"Yes general, in addition, Li Liancheng also told me that the Qing army has dismantled the Hongyi cannons of Zhennan Gate, Linzhang Gate and Renfeng Gate, and it will be transported to Yichengmen tomorrow to deal with our army's falcon cannons."

Su Qian said.

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Ying on the side interjected: "General, the Hongyi cannon is a naval gun purchased from the Francophone man, whether it is caliber or range, it is very likely to surpass our army's falcon artillery, in order to avoid artillery losses, it is better to withdraw the falcon cannon." ”

"Just three Hongyi cannons scared you like this?" Su Yan said unhappily, "Our falcon cannon is twice the size of the Hongyi cannon, six against three, the advantage is mine!" ”

(Subway, old man, looking at mobile phone)

Chen Ying suddenly showed such an expression.

As soon as he wanted to say something, he saw Su Yan chuckle and said, "Just kidding, don't take it seriously." ”

Then, he put away his smile and said solemnly: "However, the Qing army's transportation of the Hongyi cannon to the west city wall is indeed not good for our army, let's move the falcon cannon to a safe place tonight, and tomorrow the camp must also be prepared to deal with the artillery bombardment of the Qing army, as long as you survive the day, you can retaliate against the Qing army tomorrow night." ”

"Finally, Chen Ying, draft a military order for me." He said again.

Chen Ying promised, hurriedly stepped forward to prepare a pen and paper, looked at Su Yan, the latter paused, and said: "After each battalion goes into night tomorrow, take advantage of the night cover to bypass Quanzhou City, and try to arrive at Yichengmen before the end of the day. ”

Su Yan's military order was only one sentence, so a few seconds after he finished speaking, Chen Ying stopped his pen, he blew the ink on the paper, and said, "General, it's ready." ”

"Then let someone copy a few points and send them to the other battalions." Su Yan pinched the bridge of his nose, yawned, and said.

……

The next day, the Qing army really carried three thousand-pound Hongyi cannons and erected them at the head of the Yicheng Gate, and then they searched for the rebel artillery in the camp of the rebel army, but ......

What about my cannon?

I put it here, what about such a big six cannons?

"The thieves actually removed the artillery?"

Li Qi, who personally came to Yichengmen to supervise the battle, listened to the report of his subordinates, and immediately became annoyed, he transferred the other three Hongyi cannons, just to knock out the thieves' falcon cannons, but as soon as this was transferred, the thieves withdrew the artillery, didn't he let him hit the cotton with a fist?

But this can't be in vain, in order to avenge the shelling for several days, Li Qi immediately ordered three Hongyi cannons to launch a retaliatory artillery bombardment of the besieged camp of the righteous army, and it was also to boost the morale of his soldiers-

Look, we can also shell the camp of the thieves!

Boom Boom Boom –

Under Li Qi's order, three Hongyi cannons launched an artillery bombardment towards the besieged camp, just as the so-called Hongyi cannon sounded, eroding for several miles, and the heavy projectiles flying out of the muzzle of the cannon smashed heavily into the camp, and immediately knocked down a piece of fence and barracks, even if the righteous soldiers were prepared to deal with the shelling in advance, only the first round of shelling, or several people were stoned to death.

The simultaneous cannon fire of the three Hongyi cannons also made the city wall of Quanzhou City shake, even if they knew that the city wall of Quanzhou was high and strong, it was inevitable that some pessimists were worried that the city wall could not withstand the power of the three cannons at the same time, and it would collapse.

After only a few shots, the Hongyi cannon on the wall rested, although the Hongyi cannon was easy to use, but it consumed a lot of gunpowder, and Li Qi ordered the cannon to be fired just to vent his anger, so after seeing the camp collapsed in many places, he stopped the shelling.

Although only a few shots were fired, it still boosted the morale of the city sergeants, so Li Qi decided to take advantage of the situation to break through from the north gate and attack the rebel camp in Qingyuan Mountain, intending to destroy the rebel artillery position again, and at the same time send messengers to Fuzhou for help.

After lunch at noon that day, Li Qi ordered 1,200 troops to gather at Chaotianmen, personally led the troops out of the city, and killed the rebel camp in Qingyuan Mountain.
