Chapter 370 Soldiers approach Fuzhou
While Adali was extremely hesitant, the Tang army had already begun to act quickly.
Adali was frightened to see that the Tang cavalry, four soldiers, galloped on horseback, blocked the four gates of Fuzhou, and formed a closed door and beat dogs against Fuzhou City.
The Tang army infantry were also divided into four divisions, following the cavalry, strode towards the four city gates, and together with the cavalry, they blocked the four city gates firmly.
Seeing Tang Jun acting so rapidly, Adali felt suddenly sank.
Can't escape.
A trace of hideousness suddenly flashed across Adali's thin face.
Since there is no way to escape, let’s fight to the end with these Tang troops!
The Tang army, who wanted these dogs to join, had a good look at the power of the Eight Banners Warriors and the pride of the Aisin Gioro family!
Adali believed in his heart that the reason why Wanyan Yechen, the Lushun guard general who had 3,000 Manzhou soldiers and 2,000 Han soldiers lost Lushun City so quickly was most likely because this guy fell into the Tang army's plan to lure the enemy and left the city without authorization to fight the Tang army. This made the Tang army successfully attack, causing Lushun and the entire Jinzhou to fall into the hands of the Tang army so quickly.
Now, there are 1,500 Manchu soldiers and 500 Mongolian Eight Banners soldiers in the city of Fuzhou. Moreover, since five days ago, Adali has begun to prepare. He temporarily conquered the young and strong people in the city from Fuzhou City and pulled out more than 1,000 young and strong troops. There are more than 3,000 soldiers in the city. Adali believes that when he is defending the city, these defending troops should be able to compete with the surging Tang army for a while.
He believed that the court must have sent reinforcements quickly now. Perhaps as long as he could resist for a few days, he could attack them inside and outside as soon as the reinforcements of the Qing court arrived, and wipe out all the Tang troops outside the city.
Therefore, when the Tang army was siegeing the city, Adali was also quickly organizing and distributing troops.
After he dispatched troops to garrison the city walls, a man with an envoy looked like an envoy came from the Tang army. He followed him with two guards and rode his horse and quickly ran towards the city gate south of Fuzhou.
"Who is the lord in the city? Can you go up to the city to answer?" The messenger shouted loudly to the south gate city.
Hearing the envoy's call, Adali walked up to the south gate city. He shouted at the envoy with a tense face: "I am Adali, the lord guarding the city. I am the grandson of Prince Li Daishan and the son of Prince Ying Sahalian. You Han dog Nikan actually came to the Qing Dynasty. You are so brave. What nonsense? Let me put it quickly!"
After Adali shouted loudly, the envoy of the Tang army smiled slightly and said loudly: "Adali, listen well. Now this Fuzhou City has been surrounded by our army, and you have to be in trouble. You are already in danger of getting rid of all the soldiers and horses! You originally wanted to destroy you and others, but Lord Li of Tang was merciful and did not want to be punished without teaching. Therefore, he came to announce the order that as long as you put down your weapons and surrender out of the city, our army can let you go. If you do not agree, you will definitely capture Fuzhou, and all the soldiers and people in the city will be killed, and no chickens and dogs will be left!"
The messenger's last words increased his tone and his voice was stern. Unexpectedly, when Adali heard this, he laughed loudly. He stared at his blood-red eyes and scolded: "Bah! Close your dog's mouth! You lowly dogs, you shameless Nikan, actually want me, the Eight Banners Warriors to surrender to you and others. It's really a delusion! Don't say nonsense, if you have the ability, you guys will come to attack the city. I want to see what skills do you have to capture my city with high and high defenses!"
Adali paused, tears in his eyes: "But the Tang army outside the city is extremely powerful. Even if you can kill the Tang army gunners, you will probably die for a lifetime. Bayan, you can only be more careful when you go."
There were tears flashing in Bayan's eyes, but he still loudly reported to Adali: "Bayan's whole family is cared for by his master. Today is the time for Bayan to repay his kindness. If Bayan really dies in the battlefield, I hope his master will take care of my family more."
Adali focused his head and his voice choked: "Don't worry, Bayan, if you sacrifice, your family, I will definitely be more kind to you, and my monthly salary will be above others."
Bayan said nothing more, bowed to Adali, and turned around and walked down the city wall.
Soon, Bayan ordered four hundred elite cavalry in the city, put down the South Gate suspension bridge, opened the city gate, and rushed out of the city together.
As soon as the four hundred cavalrymen crossed the suspension bridge, Bayan heard a thunderous sound behind him.
He subconsciously turned his head and saw that the suspension bridge was being pulled up by the soldiers on the top of the city, while the city gate on the south was tightly closed.
For a moment, Bayan felt extremely bitter.
He knew that Adali had decided to use him as an abandoned son when he did this. As long as he led his army out of the city, he would have to die in the battlefield.
Maybe this is the fate of a slave.
Bayan gritted his teeth hard, his eyes were blood red.
"Brothers, follow me, but kill the Tang army gunners. The prince will definitely not treat everyone badly!"
Bayan shouted loudly, then knocked his horse's belly hard and rushed forward first.
The cavalry shouted loudly, followed him and rushed forward together.
When they reached the right time, only about 300 steps away from the Tang army artillery, the Qing cavalry dispersed into a straight line. Everyone was optimistic about the gunners who were going to kill in front of them. They knelt harder and rushed forward with greater efforts.
"Run! Kill all these Nikans!"
Bayan pulled out his riding knife and shouted loudly, like a black lightning bolt, rushed towards the panicked gunners not far ahead.
The Qing cavalry also roared like a group of crazy wild animals. With the rumbling sound of horse hooves, these Qing cavalry wielded swords and swords rushed towards the Tang army gunners on the opposite side.
What Bayan didn't expect was that when this seemed to be going well, an accident happened.
Bayan, who rushed forward quickly, saw that these Tang army gunners turned around and fled backward like bunnies chased by eagles. But behind them, there were dense rows of musketeers.
To be precise, they were two rows of musketeers, because they stood in one row and kneeling, wearing burning fuses, holding the loaded muskets, and quickly made a aiming position.
Bayan's pupils immediately contracted in horror.
Damn! The Tang army actually has musketeers. Now, our cavalry scattered in rows have become completely targets for being beaten?!
Before Bayan could speak, the Tang army opposite, with the person who looked like a captain shouting, his commander to swing the flag suddenly. Two rows of musketeers, standing or kneeling, suddenly started together.
"Bang bang bang bang bang bang..."
The sound of muskets with explosive beans sounded violently, and the remaining flames floating from the muzzle formed two bright yellow and dazzling fire lines. Large patches of choking and heavy white mist surged, instantly turning the entire Tang army formation into a fairyland on earth.
Two thousand muskets, one thousand six hundred poles, were fired, and these six hundred small lead bullets weighing three cents formed a dense rain of death, and roared towards the Qing cavalry that was rushing towards them.
A very small number of Tang troops with good eyesight and not disturbed by the white fog could clearly see that the whistling rain of lead bullets shot the Qing cavalry, people or horses, rushed towards the opposite side.
At least nearly 300 Qing cavalry were shot, and the screams of the cavalry mixed with the wretched horses, like the laughter of death. The Qing cavalrymen were on their backs and overturned, and the entire military formation was instantly in chaos and collapse.
There were five lead bullets that hit Bayan and his mount at the same time. This Qing general, because of his unique exquisite armor and clothing, was like a magnet, and firmly attracted the lead bullets that were shot from the fire.
A lead shot hit his arm, two lead shots hit his chest, and two lead shots hit the horse's neck and legs respectively. Bayan and his mount fell to the ground as if they were suddenly hit by an invisible sledgehammer.
Bayan, who was lying on the ground, had no idea where his helmet had rolled, and the horse's body completely flattened his body. He was wide open, and he didn't know if he had seen a horse running wildly rushed over, and with a light pop, he stomped his head like a watermelon.
The only remaining Qing cavalry, with less than 60 cavalry, were all scattered, and they ran around like headless flies. In addition to more than ten cavalry escaped by luck, more than forty cavalry were guarded by Li Xiao, who was chased by horses, and they were easy to kill and died in the countryside.
At the end of the south gate of Fuzhou City, Adali saw this tragic scene with a thousand-mile mirror. The pain in his heart was like a knife cutting.
Well, the attack of his cavalry was a Tang army, and they were all reported outside Fuzhou City before they could reach it. Damn, this was not a battle at all, but a massacre.
Seeing the Qing army being defeated, a cold and proud smile flashed across the face of Duke Tang Li Xiao.
Immediately, he ordered coldly: "The Qing cavalry has been destroyed, continue to attack the city with artillery."
"Get orders!"
With a loud shout, the huge steel dragon cannons with a caliber of 70 doors immediately started.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
......
In the huge sound of cannons that shook the eardrums, the guns of each heavy dragon storm immediately floated with bloody red flames, flashing with dazzling golden flames. In the thick and choking white smoke, seventy black 32-pound black iron bombs, with the sound of death, hit the right side of the city wall south of Fuzhou City, and rushed to the right side of the city wall on the south side of Fuzhou City.
Amid the dull and continuous impact, these seventy black 32-pound iron bullets seemed to have eyes, and in a uniform distribution state, hit the city wall on the right side of the south hard.
Seventy large holes appeared in the city wall on the south side of Fuzhou City in an instant. At the edge of each hole, thick and broken lines were as dense as spider webs, spreading unscrupulously to the surround. Large pieces of bricks of the city wall splashed and cracked, and a piece of dust filled the fog. The entire city wall on the south side was trembling violently like having asthma.
On the city wall, a large number of Qing soldiers whose ears, eyes, nostrils and mouths were bleeding from their ears, eyes, nostrils and mouths were all shaken. Everyone was shocked by blood. The eyes were covered by choking dust. The city wall under their feet was shaking violently. Nearly a hundred Qing soldiers who were unstable and young and strong in the city were even more like broken leaves blowing from the wind. They screamed and fell off the city wall, and then fell into meat pie.
In the face of such extremely powerful violence and complete death, human struggle and resistance are almost a joke.
The Qing army on the city wall on the right side of the south immediately collapsed.
A large number of Qing soldiers who were bleed from their mouths and noses and young and strong people in the city shouted in horror, turned around and ran away.
