Chapter 367: Conquering Lushun

"Master Gushan, the Tang army's artillery is too fierce, and our army's morale has collapsed. The city wall on the left side of the east is absolutely impossible to defend!"

A Qing general whose head and face were covered in dust and whose nose was bleeding from the splashed bricks, whispered in a low voice to Wanyan Yechen, who looked equally embarrassed.

Wanyan Yechen's face shivered, his expression was distorted and painful.

Fuck him, what kind of battle is this going to be!

He could not fight back just by being beaten. He watched these dog-in-coming Tang troops rampantly and unyieldingly bombard the Lushun city walls with heavy artillery. He had no choice but to be beaten like a turtle with his head shrunk.

However, Wanyan Yechen, who had been through the battle for a long time, knew that the current situation was very critical, and he had to make urgent changes quickly before the next round of artillery attacks of the Tang army began.

"I passed the order of this general, and all the guards of the city walls on the east side immediately retreated from the city, and set up a formation to meet the enemy at the entrance of the city streets, and kill the enemy in the city!"

"Yeah!"

When he saw the Qing army on the east wall and retreated from the wall like a tide, a sneer appeared on Li Xiao's resolute face.

This Qing army commander is counted as his current affairs.

If the city wall is completely destroyed, these Qing troops will be able to be buried with the city wall.

At this time, Li Xiao saw that his once arrogant enemy was crushed by force under such absolute violence and death, and had no power to fight back at all. What can he say about the degree of pleasure in his heart?

However, the solidity of the Jinzhou city wall still made Li Xiao secretly praise him.

He originally thought that the Spanish city of Santo Domingo would have to be blown up by three rounds of 20 small and medium-sized dragon slashes before it finally collapsed. The walls of Jinzhou Lushun City would probably collapse after one or two rounds of slashes under the attack of 70 heavy dragon slashes. However, he did not expect that this traditional Chinese wall building method with rammed earth and outsized bricks was much more solid than he had imagined.

However, Li Xiao could see clearly from the Qianli Miles mirror that the city wall on the left east of Lushun, which was hit by two rounds of volleys, was already crumbling and extremely dangerous. It was almost the same as an old man who was dying and would definitely not withstand the third round of 70 heavy dragon beating guns.

A trace of ferocious expression passed through Li Xiao's face, and then he ordered coldly again.

"I passed the military order of this Duke, and the third round of volley bombardment of all dragon guns must be completely defeated!"

"Get orders!"

The commander who commanded the artillery fire, held up the red flag in his hand, again.

"preparation!"

"put!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

......

The heavy artillery roared, the remaining flames flew, and thick smoke filled the sky. After the third round of heavy dragon gun bombardment, the sound of huge iron bombs crashing and the sound of the city wall collapsed, like the roar of death, and it sounded in succession. On the left side of the entire eastern city wall, large pieces of broken bricks splashed, and the rammed earth in the city wall flew out like rain, like torn cloth, and the scattered scattered scattered in all directions. Only a few rumbling sounds that made the earth tremble. The entire eastern city wall had basically collapsed and broken, becoming a piece of ruins.

"I passed the order of my military, and all the musketeers lined up to attack the city, rushing to cover the enemy, and destroying the enemy troops who dared to resist!"

"Get orders!"

Li Xiao ordered 2,000 musketeers, all wearing burning fuses, holding the black and shiny Dutch muskets that had been loaded, lined up in long scattered formations, and walked towards the city in amid the neat drum beats.

Behind the musketeer, there were rampant sentrymen like mecha monsters, following closely. They were divided into two parts, one covering the musketeer's back, and the other on both sides, firmly protecting the two wings.

When he saw the Tang army walking towards him, he commanded the army to set up defenses at the intersection of the street and personally led the formation behind Wanyan Yechen, he felt as if he was dead.

In his opinion, the black musket was like a sickle of death. The small lead bullet that was only three cents shot from the musket could easily penetrate the Qing army, the best armored in his formation, within fifty or sixty steps.

No, you can no longer let the Tang army attack unscrupulously. You must never just be a target of fighting or killing!

Wanyan Yechen drew his sword, and was about to order the entire army to attack and strangle the enemy to offset the Tang army's firearm advantage. Unexpectedly, at this moment, a huge noise and shouting came from the direction of the Ximen far behind. Then, there was the sound of the chain sliding down the suspension bridge and the sound of the suspension bridge falling.

Wanyan Yechen turned his head in horror and looked around. Through the end of the street, he was shocked to see that the Ximen stationed by the Han army Xu Erxian's troops had already opened.

"Fuck! Xu Erxian let go of the west gate and surrendered to the Tang army!" A Manchu officer next to him shouted loudly with gritted teeth.

Wanyan Yechen only felt his heart sinking rapidly and instantly felt at the bottom of the ice lake.

"Damn it, these nikans from Han people are indeed unreliable. At this critical moment, they shamelessly betrayed my Qing Dynasty!" The Manchu officer cursed loudly, with an angry expression.

Wanyan Yechen felt that at this moment, there seemed to be only a blank space in his mind.

When Wanyan Yechen's Manzhou soldiers were in extreme panic, Xu Erxian, who opened the door to surrender, asked the soldiers beside him to shake a huge white flag vigorously, while standing next to the city gate, Liu Guoneng, deputy general of the Tang Army Xingzhong Town, who was galloping over by horses, showed a brilliant and humble smile.

At this time, Xu Erxian felt extremely glad that he could decide to surrender to the Tang army at this critical moment.

Just now, Xu Erxian saw with his own eyes from the Qianli Miles that the Tang army's artillery was so fierce that after three rounds of volleys, it completely collapsed the city wall on the left side of the East Gate. It can be seen that the combat power of these Tang troops is so strong, and it is really a dead end to fight against the Tang army.

It is said that those who know the times are heroes. Xu Erxian, deputy general of the Han army, instantly realized that he could never die with these Manchu soldiers and horses, but should seize the opportunity to surrender to the Tang army in time, so as to get a chance to make up for his merits.

Besides, I was originally a Ming army, and I was helpless when I surrendered to the Qing army with Shang Kexi. Is it normal to behave with the Ming army now?

Therefore, the thousands of Manchu soldiers and horses in this city, Xu, who was once the Manchu masters, were sorry, and could only use your heads to seek credit for the Tang army.

Seeing that Liu Guoneng, wearing fine steel armor, was approaching under the escort of a group of well-armed guards, Xu Erxian rushed up to meet him.

"Xu Erxian is the deputy general of the Han army in the city. Xia Xia once served in Dongjiang Town. Since he had no choice but to surrender to the Qing Dynasty a few years ago, he has been bullied by a large number of soldiers. What else can I say about it? Our army soldiers hope that the king's army will come north, which is like a baby looking forward to his parents! Now the king's army has arrived, but it is right at the right time. Therefore, I offer this west gate of Lushun City to welcome the king's army. I hope that the Lord will pity us for the sincerity and will allow us to surrender to the Ming Dynasty again."

Xu Erxian said to Liu Guoneng with a humble expression, and his eyes were full of expectations.

After hearing Xu Erxian's lies, Liu Guoneng said with a sarcastic smile on his face. He looked at Xu Erxian up and down and shouted coldly: "General Xu, although you have surrendered to the Tartars, it is also a great achievement to be able to repent and surrender to the gate. Since this is the case, then follow the order of this general. You can quickly lead all the troops and attack the Tartars in the city with our army. You must not let a Tartar escape from the city of Lushun. If you can make new contributions, I will ask you for me!"

After hearing Liu Guoneng's words, Xu Er's eyes shone. He was originally worried and suddenly became energetic. He immediately shouted to Liu Guoneng: "Please don't worry, so I'll kill these Tartars now and submit a letter of fame to you!"

Then, Xu Erxian drew his sword in his hand and shouted loudly: "Brothers, we are the Ming army again now! Please come back with me to kill the enemy and open the way for our Ming Tang army!"

The traitors and soldiers agreed in unison, and the 2,000 traitors and soldiers shouted loudly, drawing their swords and swords, showing their courage, and rushed towards the panicked Manzhou soldiers and horses in the city.

"Master Gushan, the Tang army attacked in front and the rebellious Han dogs arrived behind. Where will our army go? Please ask the Lord to decide immediately!"

A Manzhou officer standing next to Wanyan Yechen had an extremely frightened expression on his face and his voice trembled.

Wanyan Yechen sighed, and his face was covered with cold light.

At this point in the battle, the defeat was decided. So, are you really going to die here and die with the city?

Wanyan Yechen was unwilling to choose such a cowardly and helpless way of death.

So, is it necessary to surrender to the Tang army?

Wanyan Yechen was stunned for a moment and immediately denied his own idea.

No, you cannot surrender. It is not yet time to fall into a desperate situation. After all, most of the main forces of the three thousand Manzhou troops under his command have not been damaged. If Lushun is given up and the entire army breaks through the north gate, there may be a glimmer of hope.

After swallowing hard, Wanyan Yechen urgently ordered: "I passed this general order, and the entire army abandoned Lushun City and left directly from the north gate. Taking advantage of the unprepared Tang army outside the city, they broke out straight and rushed north to Jinxian County, and then discussed."

"Yeah!"

With a dull sound, the North Gate Suspension Bridge suddenly dropped. Large groups of Manzhou soldiers rushed out from the North Gate like diarrhea.

Fuck! These dogs and Tartars want to escape!

Li Xiao, who could see clearly from the Qianli Mile Mile, suddenly looked solemn.

He immediately blew the flag and quickly issued orders to the Tang army troops stationed in the north.

At the same time, Liu Guoneng led a group of troops into the city, together with Xu Erxian's traitor troops, and hurriedly rushed to the back of the Qing army fleeing from the north gate.

A large number of Qing troops in Manzhou who had no time to escape from the city were caught off guard and were killed by the shouting Tang army and Xu Erxian's troops on the spot.

However, these Manchu soldiers and horses could not escape at the same time, so they immediately formed a formation with the Tang army and the traitor army of Xu Erxian's troops.

The swords and swords slashed each other, screamed and screamed, the tense sound of cutting off bones, and the puff sound of the sword stabbing into the human body immediately sounded, making people feel palpitations.

After finally rushing out of the city, nearly two thousand Manchu soldiers and horses rushed over the suspension bridge, and immediately found in horror that in front of them, a heavy army of thousands, both men and horses, both in heavy armor, like miniature tanks, had already arranged a huge wedge-shaped battle formation, with the straight wedge tip pointing directly into their own formation.

Seeing this shocking appearance and full of fierce pressure, the heavy cavalry battle formation of the Tang army was squeezing in the center of the Qing army, Wanyan Yechen's pupils suddenly contracted.

While the Qing army was shocked, the huge wedge-shaped battle formation composed of 1,000 Xuanhu heavy cavalry on the opposite side had already begun to rumble and rush towards him.

Start.

accelerate.

Sprint!

A thousand Xuanhu heavy cavalry completed this series of impact actions very skillfully and quickly. The Xuanhu heavy armored cavalry with a combined weight of 530 kilograms quickly increased the impact speed to the highest. With the attempt to accelerate, the heavy armored Xuanhu cavalry that had set up a wedge-shaped battle formation to charge in a cluster of charges, the impact force reached an almost terrifying state.

Amid the rumbling sound of horse hooves, a wedge-shaped battle formation composed of 1,000 heavy Tang cavalrymen, like a sharp blade, cut hard from the Tartar formation that had just flowed across the suspension bridge, and immediately tore the scattered Tartar formation in half from the middle like a knife cutting butter, quickly rushing through a wide bloody road. The sharp black wedge tip rushed to the city gate before stopping.

After this fierce rush, the Qing army that escaped from Lushun City immediately collapsed.

A large number of Qing soldiers wailed, abandoned their swords and fled everywhere, but the Tang cavalry would never give them a chance to escape. They galloped away with their horses and slashed with guns and bayonets. One after another, the escaped Qing soldiers died in the run.

There were more Qing troops who saw no way to escape. These guys who were once extremely fierce and had an absolute psychological advantage over the Ming army have now lost all fighting spirit and are determined to survive. There were a large number of Qing troops in Manzhou knelt on the ground and begging for mercy.

At this time, Li Xiao also rode his horse to the north gate. He issued an order to stop the killing in time, which allowed the surrendered Qing army to eliminate the tragic fate of killing all the Tang army, who were killed and killed.

When the Qing army outside the city either died or surrendered, the Qing army that was resisting stubbornly could no longer hold on, so they abandoned their swords and knelt down to surrender.

When he heard Li Xiao's killing, Deputy General Xu Erxian still had time to cut off the head of a military officer who had always bullied him in Manchuria.

Xu Erxian, who was holding the bloody head with a bloody waist knife, looked at Liu Guoneng not far away with a flattering look. When he saw Liu Guoneng giving him a praising look, Xu Erxian felt extremely comfortable.

At this point, the battle ended successfully. This important town in southern Liaoning City was finally conquered by Li Xiao's Tang army in less than an hour.

"Wan Sheng!"

"Wan Sheng!"

"Kill the Tartars and make a fame!"

"Kill the Tartars and go to heaven!"

Amid the warm cheers of the Tang army, the post-war statistics also reported. In this battle, the Tang army suffered about 80 casualties, and were basically caused by the Qing army guarding the north gate. The Qing army suffered more than 700 casualties, and the remaining more than 2,200 surrendered.

Soon, the Qing army commander Wanyan Yechen, who was captured alive by the Tang army, was kicked and beaten and escorted to Li Xiao.

Seeing Wanyan Yechen, who was covered in blood and dust, his armor was so dirty that he could hardly tell the color, and his eyes were closed and his head was dejected, a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of Li Xiao's mouth.

"Wu Na Tartar General, what's your name? Come quickly." Li Xiao shouted coldly.
