"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

...

More than 20 large Tiger Roar-class ships opened fire together, and each ship had fifteen or sixteen guns on the side. In this volley, about 300 guns fired together.

The dazzling golden flames flashed continuously, like a blurred dream. The bright red flames flying at the gun were like thousands of red silks flying in the wind. More than 300 black shells of all sizes were made of dense formations, violent and invincible posture and strength, making a roar of death, and densely covered and shot towards the Qing army that was fleeing from the east gate to the north.

More than 300 iron balls rushing at high speed, plowing straight through the collapsed and retreating Qing army formation. Each iron bullet passes through a straight and cruel blood path. Wherever the iron bullet reaches, it will die when touched, and it will die when touched. For a moment, flesh and blood flew across the human slaughterhouse, with broken limbs, broken arms and internal organs splashing everywhere like flying flowers in the sky.

The screams rose up continuously, and the huge terror caused the Qing army, which had already retreated quickly and had a completely scattered formation, to collapse instantly. Everyone was concerned about their heads and butts, and they rolled and crawled to escape quickly, completely losing their arrogance and rampantness just now.

The first round of naval guns fired volleys, causing nearly a thousand Qing troops to be killed or injured. Although such solid iron bombs were absolutely not lethal, they were a devastating blow to the morale of the Qing army.

The Qing army, whose morale collapsed, had no formation at all. They were like a nest of scattered bees that had lost their nests and began to escape almost instinctively.

The Qing army on the north side of the East Gate rushed north almost frantically, while the Qing army on the south side of the East Gate turned around and fled south with the instinct of survival. In addition to leaving a large number of dead bodies and wounded soldiers, it instantly became empty.

This first round of volleyball fires of the side artillery almost perfectly achieved the combat goal of Liu Guoneng, commander-in-chief of the Tang army, blocking nearly 6,000 Qing troops who had time to retreat north in the future, including Zu Zeyan's troops who had just surrendered to the Qing army, in the south of the east gate.

"Don't stop, keep shooting! Be sure not to let them run north!"

Liu Guoneng, who clearly saw the embarrassment of the Qing army from the Qianli Miles, had a very happy expression on his face. He roared and continued to order.

"Get orders!"

As the gunners began a new round of loading, Liu Guoneng's second order immediately issued: "Transfer our military order, and all the ships loaded with infantry should be quickly docked. All the gunmen and gunmen landed as soon as possible. Be sure to encircle and annihilate all the Qing troops in the south, and they should not be allowed to escape!"

"Get orders!"

The ships equipped with six thousand soldiers started their maximum horsepower, lined up along the coast, and quickly extended long gangways from the side, and teams of spearmen and musket soldiers lined up calmly to get ashore.

Seeing that the Tang army began to land and were trapped by the first round of artillery fire, the Qing army in the southern part immediately understood their terrible predicament. In order not to become a prisoner of the Tang army, they decided to break through again.

They howled and rushed back, trying to rush past the east gate of Shanhaiguan before the Tang army infantry landed and merged with the Qing army's main formation in the north.

It’s not so easy to escape!

Just as the first Qing army rushed to the east gate of Shanhaiguan, the second round of gunfire was successfully launched.

It was covered by a huge and dense iron bomb, another piece of flesh and blood flying, and another complete massacre.

Nearly a thousand Qing soldiers who rushed over risked their lives were killed and injured. Only 300 Qing soldiers got their horse tickets and luckily escaped from the dense rain of bullets.

In other words, if the Qing army wanted to break through the siege, the death and injury rate reached nearly two-thirds.

Seeing the Qing army rushing over, less than 5,000 Qing troops were left without the courage and confidence to gamble with their lives. They were frightened and avoided the range that could be bombarded by the Tang army from afar, and basically all of them were still firmly trapped in the plain land to the south.

They had no courage, and no one was willing to take their lives and bet on whether they could survive the next round of artillery. Everyone stood in a daze, and everyone looked extremely frightened. They watched in a daze, and the Tang army in the distance landed successfully in line with rows of lines.

Seeing these nearly 5,000 Qing troops, they were blocked by artillery fire and could not escape, and they were as at a loss as a group of ants on a hot pan. Those defenders who saw the Qing troops withdraw and now watched the battle silently on the top of the city suddenly heard continuous cheers.

At this time, the general of Shanhaiguan Zu Dale and deputy general Zu Dabi were both extremely happy and comfortable when they saw the Qing army being so embarrassed.

"Go to his grandma! The Tang army's artillery fire is so sharp. I'm open today." Zu Dabi punched the city hard and said loudly: "Cousin, now the Tang army has broken the Qing army alive. It's really a ferocious vent for us. Do you think we should go out of the city to pursue us now, and join the Tang army in a front and back attack, and destroy these five thousand Qing troops in one fell swoop?"

"Of course, why bother to say more." Zu Dale snorted coldly and replied hurriedly: "If you miss this opportunity, you can easily miss it! Besides, our army's physical strength has recovered a lot and can be used again. Xingyu, don't waste your hard work, and immediately lead all the troops in the city who can still fight, and fight out from the south gate, and encircle the Qing army's retreat. Be sure to join the Tang army to wipe out them in one fell swoop."

"Get orders!"

Zu Dabi replied loudly, then turned around and left, immediately going to order the troops and march out of the city from the south gate.

"Let's wait!" At this time, Zu Dale called him urgently.

"Cousin, what else do you have to give?"

"Xingyu, when chasing me later, be sure to be careful not to hurt Zeyan's life." Zu Dale's expression was complicated and his throat surged: "Although this bastard betrayed me and surrendered to the enemy at this critical moment, but..., I still hope that he would not die in the formation, but that my father would come to interrogate him personally. I must ask him carefully why he did this and why he betrayed his father at this critical moment..."

Zu Dale choked and couldn't continue to say anything, Zu Dabi also looked solemn. He joked, nodded heavily to Zu Dale, and then turned around and left.

At this moment, Ajige, who had been closely observing the current situation in the Qing army's main formation, saw from a distance that the thousands of Qing troops who were blocked by artillery fire and squeezed into a vast land in the south in panic, the pain in his heart was hard to describe in words.

Alas! If I hadn't been greedy for me and had fantasies about wanting them to take down Shanhaiguan before the Tang army arrived, but immediately made a decision and asked them to retreat in time, how could these thousands of soldiers fall into such a tragic situation?

If you make a mistake in one move, you will lose all the money. How regretful!

Now, under the barrier of such powerful artillery fire from the Tang army, it is a dream to try to rescue these thousands of people.

The roads of the pass are as iron as iron, but I can only lose my troops and return home in disgrace.

Ajig's face turned pale, he shook his head slowly and sighed a long time.

In fact, I may have to feel grateful. If my retreat order was issued later, the losses would be more than these thousands of soldiers, and it would be as high as 20,000 to 30,000. If I reached that situation, Dorgon would definitely severely denounce him. He would also be dismissed from his title of prince like Duoduo, and even go with him to guard the imperial tomb in great humiliation to pass the time.

Ajige took a deep breath and got rid of the messy thoughts in his mind. He saw that the Tang army landing in the group were gradually gathering at the beach, and the Qing army retreating from the city had basically returned to the original formation. Ajige knew that the only thing he had to do now should be to lead his troops to retreat quickly.

Otherwise, if you have been here for a longer period of time, it will be of no use and will only cause trouble.

It is said that kindness is not in charge of soldiers. Even if they are unlucky, they will blame their bad luck.

"After passing the order from this king, the entire army turned north and returned to Ningyuan, and then came to retake Shanhai Pass again the next day." Ajige took a last look at the surrounded Qing army, took the lead in pulling the horse's head, and gave a cold order with an expressionless face.

"Well, the servant obeys the order!"

More than 70,000 Qing troops were surging northward, and the Tang army landed on the beach had already begun to re-form the formation. They quickly formed a long snake formation with the front row as spearmen and the back row as musketmen.

Rows of long spears with dense formations were sharp and cold, and loaded flintlock Lumi guns, and black muzzles were directly in the south. This straight and murderous gun battle formation completely replaced the side cannons that had been bombarded, completely blocking the return path of the Qing army in the south.

At this time, Deputy General Zu Dabi also led about 700 soldiers who could still fight, shouted and fought from the south gate of Shanhaiguan, and went straight to the road behind the besieged Qing army.

Seeing that the Qing army was surrounded on both sides, the soldiers and horses in the Qing army turned around and left regardless of their concern. The morale of these surrounded Qing army suddenly collapsed. Many people began to cry loudly, and more people looked pale and were completely at a loss.

Damn, I have been trapped in a heavy siege for the Qing Dynasty. The Qing army commander Ajige, who was in the north, actually regarded himself as a burden. They did not send a reinforcement and gave up on themselves easily. How worthwhile is this kind of work!

There were some guys who were reluctant to be surrounded, as if they were crazy, and rushed straight towards the Tang army's position, trying to pass through the Tang army's position and retreat with Ajige.

What is speechless is that Zu Zeyan, who rebels and surrenders to the enemy, took the lead in fighting the formation with his guards, trying to break the Tang army formation with the impact of the cavalry.

"Zeyan cannot!"

Seeing Zu Zeyan at such a critical moment, in such a state of dying, and thinking about escaping with the Qing army, Zu Dale, who had been watching the battle nervously with a thousand-mile mirror at the end of the East Gate City, suddenly his face changed drastically and he screamed.

Zu Dale didn't wait any longer. With the protection of a group of guards, he quickly went down the city and rode his horse out as quickly as possible from the south gate of Shanhaiguan. His only purpose was to persuade his son Zu Zeyan to come back first before the Qing army rushed forward.

It's too late.

As these Qing troops who were crazy about gaining and losing their hearts rushed over, they had already filled up, and could even be said to be the three thousand flintlock Lumi muskets that were so hungry that they were fired all at once.

"Bang bang bang bang bang bang..."

The fine gun sounds were like the firecrackers that were set off one after another, and the continuous explosions were heard, and the remnants of flames flying like long fire dragons, large white and pungent smoke, countless small three-cent heavy lead bullets, like the death bird flying out of hell, making a cheerful scream, shooting away at Zu Zeyan and others who were running wildly, as well as the Qing army running behind him.

"Puff puff puff..."

These lead bullets splashed many tiny blood on the body of the hitter. The tiny bullets, as big as fingers, quickly penetrated through the armor and penetrated into the flesh and blood body, stirring the muscles, blood vessels, tendons, and internal organs inside.

Screams rang out continuously, and a large number of surrendered soldiers and the Qing army fell to the ground like a face bag that was hit.

Three lead bullets shot from the rushing bullets almost at the same time, hitting Zu Zeyan, who was rushing to the horse, one hitting the abdomen, one hitting the arm, and one hitting the neck.

Zu Zeyan was like a rabbit that was suddenly lifted up by someone. He leaned back heavily in an instant and then fell backwards from his running mount.

He fell heavily and splashed with mud and dust. He was bleeding from bullet holes. He rolled on the ground twice and then no longer moved.

"Zeyan!"

Zu Dale, who rode a horse and saw this tragic scene from afar, felt a great pain in his heart and couldn't help but burst into tears.

The Qing army was rushing to the battlefield, and the Tang army was hit hard by the fierce head-on attack. At least 500 people were killed or injured. The remaining rushing troops saw this tragic situation and no longer had the intention to fight. Some abandoned their weapons on the spot and surrendered. Some quickly turned around and ran straight back to the more than 4,000 Qing army formations.

"Surrender quickly and you can avoid death!"

A shout like a rolling spring thunder sounded in the Tang army formation.

There were no reinforcements outside and more than 4,000 Qing troops who were completely surrounded. After being yelled by the Tang army, they were no longer possessed. They also abandoned their weapons, knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

At this time, Zu Dale, who was riding a horse, came to Zu Zexian's corpse as fast as possible. He turned over and dismounted, and helped Zu Zexian's corpse, which had gradually become cold. He burst into tears without realizing that he burst into tears.

"Zeyan, I'm confused!"

When Zu Dale was crying while tiring, Zu Dabi's troops, who had already rushed over, were still angry when they saw the Qing army kneeling down to surrender. He shouted loudly and ordered his subordinates to indulge in killing prisoners.

"President should not take action! Since these Tartars have surrendered, they can be given a way out."

Zu Dabi was in trouble now, and his troops had not yet had time to take action, so he was stopped by a Tang army general on the opposite side.

The tall Tang army general shouted and waved his hands to show his hand, while walking quickly to Zu Dale Zu Dabi and others.

This general is Liu Guoneng, the chief general of the Tang army and deputy mayor of Xingzhong Town.

Upon hearing this, Zu Dabi had no choice but to order his subordinates to stop.

The more than 4,000 Qing troops who surrendered were immediately rushed over by the Tang army, like a rope tied up rice dumplings, and hundreds of people were tied into a long string. And they had barely escaped Zu Dabi's venting anger and venting their anger, and each of them had a look of depression and gratitude on their faces.
