Just as the Lu Domain endured the pain in his heart and made the final pre-war mobilization for the soldiers who were about to go to war.

From the east gate, there was a long-awaited continuous sound of cannons.

Lu Zhiyuan was shocked and looked at Wu Zheng behind him in surprise.

Wu Zheng looked calm, but he raised his hand and waved it without saying a word.

However, the Lu Region was energetic and rushed to the three thousand soldiers and shouted: "... Your Highness has planned and has already deployed a surprise weapon in the east gate... Now, the surprise weapon has arrived, and it is a good opportunity for me to make contributions to Wusongwei... Brothers, the Northern Expedition is right in front of me... Follow me to attack the city!"

The three thousand soldiers swept away their previous tension at this time, and rushed towards the south gate wall with full fighting spirit.

....

At this time, Yue Le had already led his three thousand elite cavalry of Zhengbai Banner to the North Gate.

When the battle is urgent, as the Qing Dynasty's Xuanwei General, Prince An Yue Le, would he want to escape regardless of the soldiers who were fighting?

Of course not. The cavalry team sent by Yue Le before returned, and the defenders discovered that there were enemy cavalry activities outside the north gate.

This made Yue Le finally panic, and he naturally knew who was appearing outside the North Gate at this time.

It is not serious to be attacked from three sides. What is serious is that the only channel for Haizhou City to communicate with the court in the north is likely to be cut off by the enemy.

This is related to the vitality of more than 16,000 soldiers in the city. However, at this time, the east and south sides were attacked, and Yue Le could not draw other troops, so he could not get in. He could only lead his own cavalry to the north gate for reinforcements.

....

After Zu Dabi returned to the scene, he did not make much achievements.

It’s not that Zu Dabi doesn’t want to make achievements, but that he is getting older and calm.

As a "half-way return", he did not want to compete with these powerful generals.

He just wants to make a mistake.

So, when he was empty outside the east gate (because the east gate had been blocked), he stayed outside the city, waiting for the next order to be sent, rather than taking the initiative like Qian Qiaogong.

But the new command has not come.

Until he waited outside the east gate to the surprise soldier deployed by Wu Zheng.

It is said that there are three thousand people, but in fact it is more than one.

Zhang Mingzhen also sent 800 sailors from the navy to join the ranks of this surprise soldier as auxiliary soldiers for transporting thirty-six naval guns.

The main general of this surprise soldier is Qi Jiahao, the brother of Qi Jiahao, who died in the West Gate during the Haizhou City defense war.

When Zu Dabi saw this strange weapon, his calm heart was as if he threw a huge rock into it, and it became surging.

This was the first time that Zu Dabi had seen the main force of the First Army. He had been staying in Jiangbei and believed that the Taizhou Guards, Wusong Guards and others he met were already the most elite of the Northern Expedition Army.

But now, Zu Dabi discovered that he was wrong.

The muskets on the soldiers in front of the army were completely different from those equipped by Taizhou Guards and Wusong Guards. They were thin, shorter... lighter, and the shiny gun stabs were completely different. Wusong Guards' gun stabs were actually a short sword with rings, but this kind of gun stab was different, and they were triangular, emitting a faint silver light under the moonlight.

This is not important. Zu Dabi forced himself to envy and comforted himself, but after seeing the spirit on the faces of these soldiers, he could no longer calm down.

When soldiers marched past him one by one, Zu Dabi felt a sense of pressure, invisible pressure.

He has been a veteran who has been fighting on the battlefield for decades, and has never encountered such a person who can put pressure on himself just by passing by.

Zu Dabi asked the opposite Qi Jiahao dryly, "Dare you ask General Qi, how many of the first army are there like this?"

Qi Jiahao casually said: "Fifty thousand people."

Zu Dabi was shocked.

Qi Jiahao glanced at Zu Dabi's expression and shook his head and said, "Since General Zu is not blamed, the last general was fortunate to be named by the prince and temporarily commanded this army, and only then did he realize... It turned out that the rumored first army was so powerful!"

After hearing this, Zu Dabi let out a long sigh. He looked at the marching soldiers and said, "Good luck...good luck!"

Qi Jiahao naturally understood Zu Dabi's meaning. Zu Dabi was glad that he finally made the right choice. If he did not return, then he would stand opposite to this army at this time. What would happen... it goes without saying.

Qi Jiahao did not accept Zu Dabi's words, after all, he was already a comrade.

"General Zu, is there a new order coming?"

Zu Dabi shook his head and said, "The fierce battle at the South Gate is in full swing... General Qian and I each led one unit to the east and west gates. In order to prevent the Qing army from repeating the same trick, they suddenly left the city to raid our artillery regiment. What's strange is that the enemy, as if they knew our army would come, had already sealed the city gate... I can only wait for the prince's new order."

Qi Jiahao glanced at Zu Dabi and said, "General Zu is indeed a rigorous person!"

Zu Dabi was stunned, but he didn't understand.

After Qi Jiahao finished speaking, he saluted Zu Dabi and said, "Since that's the case, the last general led his army to attack the East Gate..."

Zu Dabi was stunned and said anxiously: "The East Gate has been blocked by the enemy himself..."

"So what?" Qi Jiahao sneered, "Even if there is a mountain in front of us, our army will split it... General Zu, please ask you to scoop up the formation for our troops...got goodbye."

Zu Dabi suddenly realized that this guy looked down on others?!

To put it nicely, "Graft for my troops", let my troops come and raft for you?

This kind of boredom made Zu Dabi urge to hit his head against the wall. When I went to fight to kill the enemy, you kid was not born yet!

So he rushed over, grabbed Qi Jiahao's clothes, and said in a deep voice: "I cannot agree to what General Qi asked... Our army came here under the order of the prince to deal with the enemy's exit from the city... Since the east gate has been blocked and your army has successfully arrived outside the east gate, our army will detour towards the north gate and take the initiative to prevent the enemy's cavalry from leaving the city from the north gate."

Qi Jiahao was also stunned. He didn't understand why Zu Dabi suddenly changed his nature. In fact, he had already seen that Zu Dabi was having a passive and lazy battle, but it was not easy to point it out in person.

However, the Qi family has no time to talk to Zu Dabi. The younger brother died in battle at the west gate of Haizhou City on his behalf. This revenge must be avenged today!

This may also be the purpose of His Highness’s special name and asking him to temporarily command this surprise soldier!

Qi Jiahao nodded and said, "Since General Zu has a task, I will arrange for the sailors sent by Governor Zhang to take over the battle... General Zu, see you successfully!"

Looking at Qi Jiahao and his army who were leaving, Zu Dabi felt so depressed.

He suddenly turned his horse and shouted at the cavalry behind him, "Are you stupid? What else do you think... Have you heard what others say... People look down on us... Following my order, the whole army rushed to the north gate... Damn Tartars, remember to escape to the north gate!"

More than a thousand wind and thunder riders suddenly gathered and rushed towards the north gate like a torrent.
