Chapter 208: Loyal Good Servant

"Boom boom boom..." A series of flowering bullets were hit on the top of the city.

There were not enough artillery in Niuzhuang, and there were no artillery in Liaoyang. The Zheng army artillery directly carried the long sign and carried the mortar cannons under the city. As the flowering bullets exploded on the top of the city, the density of arrows falling from the top weakened at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Jirgalang had long been brought down by Yue Le.

Although the flowering bullets fired by this mortar are not very powerful and have a short range, it is enough to cover the city wall in Liaoyang to the city. It can also fall to the back of the city wall. Those who dare to continue to stay at the city wall with firepower or hide behind the city wall are all seeking death.

At this time, besides retreating, only the hidden military cave is the place to stay.

Jirgalang and Yue Le retreated, and the brothers Turge and Ildon hid in the Hidden Knife Cave. But the two brothers were all rusty.

Under such a situation, if the Liaoyang defenders were united, they could still fight, but now? They are all panic. It would be strange if this city can still be defended!

"Tenth brother, this Liaoyang is not done. You will go down and prepare for one or two later. You must report to your master quickly. Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just beware of one or the other."

The weight of Shengjing is definitely comparable to Liaoyang energy. The Eight Banners soldiers can retreat from Liaoyang, but they will be nailed to Shengjing even if they die. Then, let alone the scab powder in the sky, it is true that the plague gods show their saints and cannot retreat half of them.

But they can die, so the master cannot have any trouble.

If the little emperor of Shunzhi had something to do, the Qing Dynasty would be in full swing.

Moreover, the Eight Banners in Liaoyang City are all there. The two Yellow Banners have the least number of soldiers coming. After all, they have to stay in Shengjing to see the gates of Shunzhi and the mother and mother, right? But no matter how small there are, there are three or four hundred people. It would be heartbreaking if they lose them!

When the sound of cannons weakened, Ilden slapped his butt and ran into the city. Leaving Turge, Hui and Ashan, the two of them rushed out of the Tibetan soldiers' cave with their army. When they saw it, they felt a lot of grief. One or two hundred Zheng troops had already arrived in the urn city!

A white flag-inlaided ditto shku screamed wildly, leading seven or eight people to rush towards the city with long signs.

The front and back are orderly, and the routes are uncertain. They all jump left and right, not just rushing forward with a straight head. But the city wall is so wide, how can they show off?

Gan Hui was the first to climb the city of Wengcheng on a long ladder. At this moment, he looked at the Qing soldiers who came to him and said softly: "Good come." He waved his hand back without ordering. The large turtle dove-legged guns that had been raised long ago immediately entered the preparation stage.

As the Qing soldiers rushed to more than ten steps, a whistle sounded, and the deafening muskets were heard. Twenty large turtledove-footed guns lined up in three stacks, and they just rushed over. All the Qing soldiers were shot and rolled on the ground. Who told them to jump straight up and down, and they would not learn from other rattan soldiers? They would roll all over the ground.

The smoke of gunpowder dissipated, and all the Qing soldiers were killed on the ground. The one who died the most miserable death was that he was shot three times, and his inner shot was hit on the head, leaving his head missing.

The Qing soldiers dared not charge. Although the Wengcheng was only part of the city gate defense, the Liaoyang Wengcheng protruded outwards a semicircle, allowing bows and arrows to be absolutely covered at the top of the city. Moreover, the width of the Wengcheng was much narrower than that of the city wall. Just as the Zheng army's guns and cannons were so sharp that they rushed forward to death.

"Shoot the arrow, shoot the arrow quickly..." Ashan shouted, and he raised his bow and shot at Gan Hui first.

Among these Zheng troops who climbed the city, Gan Hui, wearing Wenshan bronze armor and wrapped in a big red cloak, should not be too conspicuous.

But as for the arrows shot by the Qing army, Gan Hui just pulled down the iron face on his face, and he curled his head and did not avoid or hide.

Not only Ashan aimed at Gan Hui, but everyone else also found him, a man in a panther. More than a dozen sharp arrows shot at him, and his body instantly seemed to have a thorn, but except for the force of the arrows that made him shake his body, the arrows had not hurt his oily skin.

Because, while Gan Hui covered a layer of Wenjin armor outside, he was also wrapped in a layer of cotton armor and a layer of chain mail. Not to mention the arrow, he was not afraid of the arrow, even if he was hit by a musket, he would at most spit out blood.

At this moment, the Zheng soldiers who were climbing the city were all selected strong men. They had at least two layers of armor inside and outside. The outside was exquisite iron armor and twelve kilograms of cotton armor inside. Although the Qing army commanded strong bows and heavy arrows, they could not cause damage to them. Not to mention that some of the Zheng soldiers who were climbing the city were carrying long signs.

"Go ahead—"

The urn city was taken down, and rows of long ladders were set up. When the Iron Man Army soldiers climbed the top of the city, Gan Hui immediately waved his hand, and the rolling iron stream pressed towards the Qing army with the cooperation of the musketeers behind him.

If it was a pure confrontation between the two armies, even if the Qing army would eventually lose the South Gate of Liaoyang, it would never be directly crushed by the Zheng army. However, the word "smallpox" means that everyone in the city was panicked. They didn't even consider whether it was true or not. If Zheng Zhilong wanted to really sprinkle smallpox, wouldn't his team also face the threat of illness if they rushed in?

No one thought about this at this time. Everyone wanted to escape from Liaoyang City immediately. The water source, the food, and every inch of air here were original sins.

It may be fatal if you contact me, let alone stay here for a long time.

Thus, when the Iron Man Army arrived, followed by a large group of musketeers and a group of bomb droppers, the Qing soldiers at the South Gate could no longer resist it.

The defenders, who were already panicked, failed to persist for half an hour without insisting on the fierce offensive of Zheng's army, and the southern gate of Liaoyang was opened from the inside.

Liaoyang City has been in chaos, and fireworks are everywhere in the city, but Zheng Zhilong has already made the fine work to sneak into it. He cut off the small scalp with braids and stuck it on the top of his head with fish glue. Although it can't last for a few days, it still makes people unable to see the flaws in a short period of time.

These people were all bald soldiers under Li Wu. They were all familiar with the rules of life under the Tartars and easily got into the city. They just spread pathogens silently and were very indifferent. But now they all attacked.

Set fires in the city, spread rumors in the city, and bewitch the Han people. At this moment, countless heads were wandering around in the streets and alleys. Not to mention those Baoyi Aha who were concentrated in the city, when the Tartars were defeated, they would not.

The order of the entire city is in chaos.

Some of the tutors who were good at changing their powers appeared one after another. They either acted as the leader of Zheng Jun, or took down their former masters first when they could not find Zheng Jun, so that they would seek credit from Zheng Jun and reward him.

Some of the honest and docile and timid Baoyi Aha, who was usually honest and gentle, turned into fierce thugs. The resentment of being bullied for many years seemed to have found a way to vent, turning these once docile "sheep" into ferocious beasts. They gathered together in groups, holding sticks and kitchen knives, and rushed into the banner people in the middle to burn, kill, loot.

These people all knew that once the Zheng army took the city, the Manchu and Han people in the city would be taken away. They didn't know what the Manchus would end, but they heard that the Han people would be sent to a large island south to farm.

These things have been spreading in Liaodong for a long time, and the Zheng family has just come here to make trouble this year. Their subordinates have a way out. Although they can't return to their hometown, they can survive and have a living in the future, right? And I heard that they can join the bald army even if they perform well.

Li Wu and his seven or eight subordinates were shuttled through the streets and alleys north of Liaoyang City. He met several people holding sticks on the roadside. When he saw that they were holding swords and guns, all of them were young and strong, he was shocked and shouted, dancing the sticks in his hands to scare Li Wu and the others. Li Wu ignored them at all.

They now need to find some thatched houses that are prone to fire to create chaos.

It would be fine to burn the entire Liaoyang City, because the Zheng army was destined to be stationed in Liaoyang for a long time.

When they turned into an east-west alley, a group of locals holding wooden sticks and kitchen knives were coming from the entrance of the alley. When they saw them, they screamed in surprise, and then a large group of people held wooden sticks and kitchen knives and rushed towards Li Wu and the others like water.

Li Wu and the others turned around and fled backwards, and then a team of people protecting their female family to escape to the city became Li Wu and the others' scapegoats.

Li Wu looked back and saw people on both sides shouting loudly in Liaodong dialect with the same accent, sticks and kitchen knives slashing among the crowd, and soon the ground was filled with people.

How many Han people are among these fallen people?

He doesn't care about this.

The man simply broke into the small yard of a two-in-one family. The door was open, and there were two men's bodies lying upside down in front of the door. Some clothes and a pair of sacks were abandoned on the door table.

Li Wu led his men to the backyard. Sure enough, he saw the kitchen, ran up and kicked open, and a man died inside. After a little search, he found an oil jar and half a jar of meat oil.

It would be great with this.

The outside of the kitchen was filled with firewood. The oil jar was thrown toward the firewood pile. First, use the fire breaker to ignite some small dead branches, and then throw the fire to the broken place of the oil jar. Soon the whole firewood pile turned into a big fire. Then the haystack in the horse shed was also ignited, and the entire backyard was burned. The whistling southeast wind blew with sparks. Li Wu believed that the small courtyard would soon fall into the sea of ​​fire, and even ignite the surrounding houses.

Jirgalang looked at Liaoyang City, which was left behind little by little, and his heart was filled with grief.

Reinforcements will arrive in a few days, but Liaoyang City cannot even support the efforts of the past few days. What makes him even more sad is that Liaoyang cannot be defended, so can Shengjing be defended?

It is very easy for the emperor to go north, but now after this trouble, who dares to say that he will not be infected with smallpox? If the little emperor was infected by smallpox on the way north, it would be fine if he could not get through it. The Qing Dynasty would be in peace.

Jirgalang lay on the saddle in a panic. At this time, he was actually glad that Prince Su Haoge had been led south by Dorgon.

"Turg, Turg..." Jirgalang cheered up and suddenly shouted Turg.

"What's the matter with Prince Zheng calling a slave?" Turge was not far away and immediately came to the horse when he heard the news.

"Where is your tenth son?" Jirhalang originally wanted to call Turge to say hello to the Empress Dowager in Shengjing, and asked him and his mother and son to leave Beijing and go north before the defeated soldiers arrived.

But suddenly he found that Turger's tenth brother Ilden was missing.

"Reply to the prince's words, I had already asked Ilden to return to Beijing to report to the Queen Mother first." Turge's face said as usual.
