Chapter 1682: Recover Haizhou (3)

Can't Yue Le really hear it?

Of course not!

The sound of the cannon is very unique, it is not the sound of the red cannon from our side, and it is also different from the sound of the enemy's cannon outside the city at this time.

When the cannon sounded, Yue Le was shocked, which made him shaken him, and something must have happened to the East Gate.

But Yue Le couldn't say it clearly on the spot. If he told the accident about the East Gate, it would be the fact that the morale of the army in the city would be in chaos.

They were attacked on both sides, and they were firearms that the Qing army could not fight back.

You are not afraid of fighting hard, you are so afraid that you can only be beaten!

Such a dense sound of cannons came from the east gate, which only shows one thing: the enemy outside the south gate was "building a plank road openly and crossing Chencang secretly."

Yue Le suddenly realized that he had made a fatal mistake. He always regarded the East Gate of Haizhou as an insurmountable natural danger, but at this time he realized that the sea was definitely not an obstacle for Wu Zheng, who had three major navy masters.

Yue Le thought of the battle between Tianjin Wei and Dagukou two years ago, Wu Zheng sent a navy to harass him. At that time, less than a thousand people landed on the shore and fought from Dagukou to the foot of Tianjin Acropolis.

At that time, the court still sent Qian Qiaogong to lead his spears and cavalry to reinforce Tianjin Guards and repel the invading enemy troops. But now I think this may be just a trick to cover up?

Yue Le had to ask about the "reason" of the East Gate, and the news of the East Gate's attack spread among the army.

But he knew that this would not last long!

Yue Le thought for a moment and immediately called out a side division to reinforce the East Gate, while he himself quickly beat the drum and summoned the generals to prepare for the battle.

The so-called battle means fighting, going out of the city to fight!

This is completely contrary to Yue Le's strategy of defending but not attacking.

But now, there is no other way.

Both sides are strong enemies. If the defenders find that they are attacked on both sides, their morale will definitely plummet.

Haizhou City is too small, as small as east and south, once the two directions are firing into the city at the same time, it is enough to cover any area in the city. The Qing army originally found a way to rely on a solid wall to avoid artillery fire outside the city, but it instantly lost its effectiveness.

Among the more than 16,000 people in the city, 5,000 were cavalrymen. Instead of being killed in the city and allowing the enemy soldiers to capture Haizhou City without bloodshed, it is better to go out of the city and fight to the death. Even if they fail, they can... turn in.

This is the only way that Yue Le can think of at this time.

And this plan is correct.

Wu Zheng was determined to win Haizhou City, not something Yue Le could withstand.

However, Yue Le still did not realize two points. One is that the east and west gates have been blocked, so how could they be cleaned in a short period of time?

Second, the Fenglei Cavalry has already guarded outside the two city gates in the east and west. The Qing Cavalry attacked, wouldn’t it be the Fenglei Cavalry’s intention? What’s more, there is a Xiaolin Cavalry who is sharpening his sword?

....

Qian Qiaogong was very depressed before.

After being accidentally stationed in Mimi by Wu Zheng, Qian Qiaogong understood that Wu Zheng's control over the Northern Expedition Army had reached a point where he could not miss it.

Even what he, the commander of the Fenglei Cavalry, quickly spread to Wu Zheng's ears. It can be imagined that anything happened in the army could not escape the eyes and ears of Chang Lin Wei.

Qian Qiaogong is not a grievance. He actually knows it very well in his heart. Just as Wu Zheng said, Mimi is a private morality, and the battlefield is justice.

If Mimi was really a detailed work sent by the Qing court, then her relationship with herself would be free to come and go in the military camp.

But if Qian Qiaogong really wants to pretend to be a passerby to Mimi, he can't do it with Qian Qiaogong's character.

Wu Zheng proposed to send Mimi to Hangzhou Prefecture to hand it over to his father in his name, which really made Qian Qiaogong feel relieved. Half of the biggest difficulty was solved, and the other half was to prove his innocence.

How to prove yourself?

Kill the enemy! 19th Floor Literature

The more you kill, the more you can prove your innocence!

This is Qian Qiaogong's psychology at this time.

To him, the word "innocence" is more important than his life.

So, after the West Gate was empty, Qian Qiaogong ordered without thinking to detour towards the North Gate.

There is a problem here, that is, when going to fight, the Fenglei Cavalry is divided into two groups, one in the west gate and the other in the east gate.

But Qian Qiaogong knew very well that Wu Zheng had deployed a surprise soldier in the east. Then, Qian Qiaogong didn't have to think too much about it, and he would be favored by the two groups of troops.

The east route was led by Zu Dabi, while Qian Qiaogong personally led the other route and Xiaolin to the west gate.

At this time, Qian Qiaogong led his troops to the North Gate.

....

It's really a waste of money.

After digging for an hour, the corridor that was three meters thick in the west city gate was cleared out more than one meter.

Seeing the sound of shelling in both directions becoming louder and more densely, Yue Le began to feel a little panicked.

While urging him to clean up quickly, he sent a team of cavalry to reinforce the North Gate. This was Yue Le's subconscious reaction, because at this time the North Gate was the only Shengmen in the Qing army in the city to contact the outside world, so of course he had to guard it. Even when the troops from the East and West Gate were drawn, Yue Le did not move the North Gate.

Of course, Yue Le didn't know at this time that the former "subordinate" had already had a "spiritual understanding" and had also gone to the north gate.

And this time has reached the end of Chou and the beginning of Mao.

Outside the south gate, a firework shot straight into the sky, almost illuminating half of the sky.

Yue Le's heart was thrilled. Although he could not guess the meaning of the fireworks, Yue Le, who had been fighting for many years, had realized that it was unusual.

He guessed that it was likely that the enemy was going to attack.

Yue Le, guessed it right.

Wu Zheng’s deployment is very simple to put it bluntly.

The navy did control the coast, but the naval guns did not have that long range at this time and could not reach Haizhou City at all.

Then, the only way is to log onto the shore.

The most difficult thing to transport the disassembled naval guns to the east of Haizhou City a hundred miles away is not that the cannon is too heavy and difficult to walk on, but that enemy cavalry will raid at any time.

So Wu Zheng decided to make a big move to the right place and join himself in the battlefield. It would be difficult for Yue Le to be not attracted in the city.

As long as you attract the attention of the city, while it is dark, the surprise soldiers can easily land and pounce on the east gate of Haizhou.

This is the real reason why Wu Zheng spent all his money and wanted to continue the shells until now.

When the sound of cannons from the east gate reached Wu Zheng's ears, the fireworks of the general attack were reasonable.

....

When Wusongwei carried dozens of rows, carrying the ladder and shouting at the city wall.

The defenders of the city were panicked. It was not that they were afraid to fight, but that there were too few defenders of the city.

After the artillery regiment's shelling was destroyed all day, Yue Le had to take the defenders to temporarily go down the city wall when the enemy attacked the city. When the enemy attacked the city, the city wall would then defend against the enemy.

But the problem is, the city wall takes time.

It's faster for a few or dozens of people to line up the city wall, but it takes a thousand or even two thousand people to line up the city wall. It takes at least half a stick of incense to fully enter the defensive position, right?

Although it is divided into batches from left and right steps, it is impossible to form a sufficiently dense firepower output on the city wall at the same time.

Yue Le thought that the Northern Expedition Army would not attack the city at night, because no one could clearly shell out the undead people but risked the loss of both.
