When Li Dingguo ordered this, of course no one dared to disobey the Tang army's auxiliary soldiers. They immediately began to reignite the thunder in their hands and began to prepare for throwing them again, just like a machine that received the order.

However, each of them had a look of fear and unbearable look on their faces. Of course, they knew how cruel the true content of Li Dingguo's order was.

At such a close distance, the two armies were in a mess and in close combat. If they dropped bombs on the Qing army, they would most likely hurt themselves by accident. In this way, both Tang and Qing sides would suffer significant losses.

Now Li Dingguo's intention is obviously to burn both of them, and to fight for life with the same life-threatening tactic. He did not intend to distinguish between the Tang and Qing dynasties from each other again, but just hope that when the inner city defense was already in danger, killing as many Qing troops as possible regardless of casualties was the most important purpose.

If the last time the Tang army crossbow soldiers were ordered to shoot the two armies fighting on the city wall regardless of their target, which once exposed the unknown dark side of Li Dingguo, then the order of auxiliary soldiers to drop bombs at such a close range can be said to have demonstrated the bloody and cruel dark side of Li Dingguo again.

However, as the chief general of the Tang army, Li Dingguo has reached the point of his last attempt to fight to the death. Any means without any bottom line will be used.

At this point in the war, any external painted skin has been torn off, completely exposing its natural bloody and ugly face, and the two sides of the war, in order to achieve final victory, any morality and rules, and even all laws on earth can be trampled under their feet, and any sacrifice or war damage can be accepted.

"Any praise of the act of war is ulterior motives, despicable and shameful." - Victor Hugo.

"Prepare, vote!"

Another cold and clear command came, and all the Tang army auxiliary soldiers did not hesitate. They threw the wooden handle, which had been soaked in sweat, and threw the thunder out of the rushing Qing army in a standard sideways throwing posture.

A dozen steps away, hands burning fires threw thunder, and raindrops fell from the sky.

"Bang bang bang bang bang bang..."

More than 700 hand-throwing thunders were thrown out, and about 600 hand-throwing thunders exploded smoothly.

A violent explosion sounded violently, and the dazzling yellow firelight spread into a fire net of death. The powerful shock wave and the screaming fragments brought about the violent force that destroyed everything, tearing all the people or things that dared to block them into pieces.

If you look out from the simple blocking object, you can clearly see that the enemy troops entering the range of hand-throwing thunder attacks were like magic, suddenly turning into a bloody rain of flesh and blood. The fragments of armor and broken human tissues flew everywhere in the huge choking smoke.

What is also extremely tragic is that the Tang army crossbow soldiers at the front also suffered heavy damage. Many Tang army soldiers who were fighting with the Qing army were raised high by the wave of thunder throwing hands, and then drew a parabola in the air and fell into a pile of meat paste.

There were more Tang soldiers who were directly hit by the thundering pieces of hand-throwing thunder, and the broken flesh was blown everywhere, and the flying blood was splattering everywhere like freehand paintings, and they died terrible.

Li Dingguo saw with his own eyes that a very young crossbow soldier who looked completely underage was rolling and struggling on the ground. His throat was cut through a big blood-red hole by sharp fragments, and blood surging out like a fountain.

He subconsciously stretched his hand, as if he wanted to block the throat of the nozzle. At the same time, he kept screaming in sarcasm, as if he was shouting something like "Mom...". Gradually, the young auxiliary soldier's movement became smaller and smaller, and finally curled up into a ball, like a dead puppy, without any movement.

Li Dingguo looked at him dead coldly, but inexplicable sadness flashed through his stubborn eyes.

Child, I wish you will be born in a peaceful and peaceful life in the next life, and you will not be a killer in troubled times...

The Tang army dropped bombs at close range this time, killing and injuring nearly 2,000 Qing troops, and the losses of their own reached more than 300.

Even so, the Qing army still did not retreat.

The more Qing troops behind them were trampling on the broken corpses everywhere, still roaring wildly, rushing towards the gap ahead, as if their lives were worthless and insignificant. Each Qing army had a fanatical and bloodthirsty look on their faces, as if their only value was to kill all the Tang army guarding the gap and occupy the inner city of Vladivostok. For this goal, no matter how much death or injury is done, it is no problem.

The Qing army fought to the death and the Tang army was naturally even more brave. These Tang army, who had undergone strict training and strong brainwashing, and commended the rich and complete pensions, were even less than the Tang army crossbowmen behind them. They rushed forward more fiercely and fought with the Qing army in a group. The soldiers of the two armies quickly strangled together.

This was an extremely cruel war of attrition. The Tang and Qing dynasties fought to the death. The soldiers of the two armies fought for themselves. The sound of swords and swords slashing each other, the sound of long spears entering the flesh, the sound of bones cutting, and the sound of tragic deaths of dying soldiers, were all in a panic and heart-wrenching manner. At this time, the battle situation began to appear again, but the Qing army was powerful after all, and overall, it was still more and more prevailing.

Next, the Tang army threw another round of hand-throwing thunder. With the rumbling explosion, nearly 2,000 Qing troops were killed, and the Tang army suffered losses of up to 300 more people.

"Don't stop, vote again!"

Li Dingguo looked expressionless and continued to give orders angrily.

In Li Dingguo's eyes, the Tang army who were fighting to the death were all just bargaining chips that could be paid at any time in order to achieve the final victory. If the lives of his subordinates could be sacrificed in exchange for the inner city of Vladivostok Castle were preserved, the lives of all Tang army would be presented to the god of death without hesitation by Li Ding's Congress.

Of course, Li Dingguo was not a ruthless person who treated his subordinates as ruthless. On the contrary, he took great care of his subordinates and tried his best to fight for all rights and interests for them. However, in this extraordinary period, he could no longer tolerate any kindness of a woman. On this bloody and cruel battlefield, as the main general, he must be as hard as iron, and must be cruel and decisive. His only mission is to win the war.

Unexpectedly, as soon as his order was passed, an auxiliary soldier captain rushed to report: "General, now in our army, all the auxiliary soldier's hands have been thrown into the thunder, and there is no relic in the warehouse. The order cannot be implemented."

Hearing the report from the auxiliary captain, Li Dingguo looked shocked and couldn't help but exclaim. Fortunately, he quickly controlled his feelings.

No!

At this critical stage, the hand throwing thunder that can determine the direction of the battle is over, and it is over?!

Wouldn't that mean that the Tang army has no other way now, so they can only fight against these long-range soldiers and horses in a close battle with the Qing army?

The Qing army had a huge advantage in military strength. If they could only use these long-range forces to fight the Qing army in close combat, it can be said that the Tang army was basically defeated.

If this continues to fight, perhaps the Tang army will be wiped out soon.

Could it be that this inner city of Vladivostok is Li's burial place...

A huge chill spread from Li Dingguo's back, making him shudder.

However, he still endured the huge panic in his heart and still gave the order coldly.

"Since this is the case, I passed this general's order and sent all the auxiliary soldiers to immediately gather formations like crossbow soldiers to defend against the enemy with their waist swords."

"Get orders!"

Looking at all the auxiliary soldiers who pulled out their waist knives and began to assemble the formation, Li Dingguo felt inexplicably sour and couldn't help but sigh.

Now he has put all the remaining hopes of guarding the inner city on the nine auxiliary soldiers led by Li Laiwang.

It can be said that if Li Laiwang and his team ultimately failed, the Tang army guarding the inner city would definitely be destroyed, and the entire Vladivostok Fort would definitely fall into the hands of the Qing army.

Then, this battle to guard Vladivostok will be the most painful defeat and the largest defeat of the Tang army since its founding.

What a terrible ending!

So, how are Li Laiwang and the others doing now?

Li Dingguo was completely unsure.

Of course he didn't know that when the Tang and Qing dynasties were fighting to the death inside, Li Laiwang and others who had sneaked into the west city wall were sweating profusely, trying hard to dig the rammed earth in the city wall, in order to be as close as possible to where Huang Taiji was sitting, and finally successfully bombard the supreme ruler of the Qing Empire.

At this time, Li Laiwang and the others were digging wildly without hesitation, and large groups of rammed earth rushed down. So far, they had digged seven or eight steps, almost half of the predetermined goal.

Working in this drowsy and stuffy environment, everyone's physical strength dropped very quickly. Everyone's face was covered with sand and sweat. The thick outer robe used to keep the cold outside had already taken off, and several people were simply bare-backed and sweaty all over their bodies were gritting their teeth and working hard. At this point, everyone was panting and exhausted, and they were almost fighting hard with one breath.

Finally, after digging quickly and quickly for a while, a tall and strong auxiliary soldier took the lead in throwing the shovel and sat on the ground and gasping.

"Damn it, I'm so exhausted. I'm going to take a break." The auxiliary soldier with a deep scar on his face sat on the ground full of dirt, shouting in a low voice while gasping.

Under his guidance, several others threw away their tools and lay on the ground in a skewed manner.

Seeing that they stopped and stopped, Captain Li Laiwang immediately frowned. He shouted at the strong auxiliary soldier who was lying on the ground first: "Zhang Chaizi, now time is so urgent, you have the nerve to lie down on the rest. You must know that the brothers outside are using their lives to buy us time! How come you lie down one by one? Are you worthy of the brothers who fought outside?!"

Li Laiwang said this very seriously, and with his angry look, everyone could deeply feel his dissatisfaction and anger.

Seeing that Li Laiwang got angry at himself, the auxiliary soldier named Zhang Chuangzi was immediately dissatisfied. He snorted and curled his lips and said, "The surname of Li, here, you really treat yourself as the captain. Tell you, when I was a thug in my hometown in Chongqing, I would beat anyone who didn't like him. My heart was black, and my ** was also black. I have been doing this illegal and illegal act since I was a child. I have never been afraid of anyone! Li Laiwang, there is no Shangguan here to protect you. If you really make Mr. Zhang, I want you to look good!"

When Li Laiwang heard this, his qi and blood suddenly surged. His face turned red. The shovel in his hand pointed directly at Zhang Chuangzi and cursed: "Zhang Chuangzi, if you have the ability, do you want to rebel here?! Even I take it seriously. Are you tired of damn it? Tell you, if I order these brothers to go with me, I will have already honed you, the dog, into meat sauce. Don't think that you have been fighting before joining the army, and you dare to ignore military discipline here, and dare to disobey my orders here!"

Seeing Li Laiwang getting angry, several other auxiliary soldiers who were lying on the ground were ashamed and stood up quickly, picking up shovels and fences. However, the scar only snorted coldly and did not get up.

After hearing Li Laiwang getting angry at Zhang Chuangzi, the youngest Zhang Ercheng hurriedly dissuaded: "Brother Zhang, don't rest. No matter how tired or hard you are, you have to hurry up and dig it up! Otherwise, we will delay here for a little longer, and we don't know how many soldiers we will sacrifice the lives of our army outside! If the inner city is taken down by the Qing captives, then we will be in vain!"

After Zhang Ercheng finished speaking, Li Laiwang took over the conversation and said angrily: "Zhang Chaizi, have you heard that Zhang Ercheng is much more sensible than you bastard. You damn it, don't be shameless, get up and work for me!"

Seeing that he had already suffered public anger, Zhang Chuangzi hesitated for a moment before trembling. While picking up the tools, he muttered, "Okay, okay, don't call me mutter, can't I get up and work? How could I not know that the brothers outside are fighting with the Qing robbers to buy us time, but I am really tired, so I will have a rest now. Besides, when Chongqing was captured by the giant thief Zhang Xianzhong, if it weren't for Lord Li's policy of exchanging money for prisoners, my whole family would have gone to the underworld to report. Although I was a bastard before joining the army, I was also a person who knew how to repay kindness. Besides, although I had done business in the past, I was still a little conscience and moral integrity. I had never done anything about killing people and setting fires. From this point of view, my heart was much cleaner than the high-ranking officials and powerful officials in the Ming Dynasty..."

When Zhang Chaizi said this, Li Laiwang suddenly shouted in a deep voice: "Stop talking, there seems to be movement on the top!"

After hearing what he said, the auxiliary soldiers who were still excavating were subconsciously stopped. They looked up in shock and found that the soil layer above seemed to be trembling slightly, as if someone was excavating simultaneously on it.

"Damn it, our plan is dangerous! Those who have dogs must have found an abnormality. They are about to dig the soil to find out what's going on!"
