Chapter 810: A shocking explosion, burning the city with flames

After Yang Shan ordered, his troops all bowed and quickly lit the long leads hidden in the cracks in the ground with the fuse hanging on him.

Soon, the leads at all the critical points in the city were ignited by Yang Shan and others. The blue light flashed and burning leads were like the awakened eyes of the god of death.

As the leads were sizzling blue light and burning rapidly, Yang Shan and the more than 30 soldiers had quickly drilled into the tunnel under the city and fled all the way outside the west of the city.

At this moment, everyone spared no effort to escape from the city, hoping to quickly escape from the city before this tunnel was blown down.

Such a run is not an exaggeration to say that it is a speed of life and death.

When running through the tunnel under the west gate of Fuzhou City, everyone in the tunnel heard a dense explosion like dull thunder from the ground, like rolling spring thunder sweeping past the ground, making everyone's eardrums buzz. At the same time, you could feel the underground trembling suddenly, and the tunnel beams above began to creak and collapse, and a large cloud of dust slammed down, making the tunnel look gray and yellow. Not to mention that the direction ahead could not be seen clearly, even breathing began to become difficult.

However, everyone in the tunnel who was choking and coughing all the time was filled with joy, and their eyes were filled with excitement.

"Damn it, the thunder in the city finally exploded smoothly! Humph, our explosion will probably kill at least seven or eight thousand Qing soldiers!" Yang Shan wiped a handful of dust on his face, and his tone was full of pride.

He was right. Not long after the fuse was lit, the cluster of thunder buried everywhere in the city was like a sleeping dragon hiding in the city. Suddenly, he woke up from his sleep and let out a roar that shook the sky.

It was furious, spewing out hot flames, and releasing countless scattered shrapnel, like a unimaginable metal storm, which brought the Qing army running densely around it to a head-on attack.

Looking from the sky, you can see that in the dense and dazzling golden flames, in the large white smoke rising from all over the sky, countless blood burst into pieces like blood-colored flowers, and countless explosions of human body parts and internal organs into the water, like the rain of flesh and blood flying all over the sky, sprinkling everywhere, and its shape is extremely terrifying.

What's even more terrifying is that this dense and ferocious explosion collapsed countless houses and buildings in the city. Large pieces of collapsed broken bricks and remains suddenly smashed from the air, and a large number of Qing troops who could not escape were killed and injured.

After the explosion densely filled with spring thunder, there were screams of screams everywhere. As Yang Shan said, at least more than 5,000 Qing soldiers died on the spot in the blast. Nearly 10,000 other Qing soldiers were seriously injured and fell to the ground to wail.

Seeing this terrifying incident in the city, Shuotuo, the deputy general in charge of commanding the attack, had his ears completely deafened, and his ear canal kept dripping blood. His long face instantly turned sallow, and the cold sweat on his forehead dripped down like rain.

Enter his mother!

how so!

I really didn't expect that the Haoge tribe would hide such a vicious trick!

During this intensive explosion, his subordinates ran densely in the city and had no time to disperse. This intensive explosion, you can imagine how severe the damage and blow it would be.

And just when he was still immersed in a silent world, the Qing army in the city, after a very short daze, immediately screamed and fled from the city.

Everyone's face was full of horror and despair. They pushed and shook each other, cried and howled, only to fear that they would escape slower than them. Therefore, from the streets in the city to the narrow city gate, nearly a thousand Qing soldiers were trampled to death and injured. At first glance, they were terrible.

At this time, at the end of the main formation in Fuzhou City, Ajige, who had been closely observing the Qing army, saw this huge change and terrible explosion, he also looked extremely shocked. He opened his mouth wide, his body trembled, and almost fell off his horse.

With huge profits ahead, there is no trap. This veteran of the battlefield who has been fighting for many years has actually lost his troops in this small Fuzhou City. It is really both lamentable and hateful!

"Grandma, I've been playing with eagles all my life, but I didn't expect that I was pecked by eagles in this ghost place!" Ajige sighed and tried to calm himself down: "The whole army will withdraw from the city for the time being. If there is no movement in the city, I will send someone to the city to detect the sentry. I have confirmed that there is no explosion of thunder, so I will order the entire army to enter the city and kill the remnants of Haoge!"

"Yeah, the servant is ordered!"

The Kashgar soldiers hurriedly went to pass the order, and the Qing army that retreated from the city was able to rest outside the city when they were about to calm down. The originally chaotic formation gradually returned to peace.

Then, after this bombing, the city was silent. The original burning flames in the sky had become much smaller. There were hundreds of soldiers in the Qing army. Everyone was terrified and began to enter the city carefully to investigate.

When they entered the city, they saw that the city was already ruins, the ground and walls were covered with blood and flesh, and incomplete corpses were covered with incomplete bodies. A large number of undead soldiers were still moaning in a low voice. Everyone was more frightened and worried that they would suffer this fate next.

Fortunately, such a terrible ambush and explosion never happened again. Only then did everyone gradually let down their hearts that were hanging in their throats and began to carefully check the situation in the city.

After about two incense sticks, the soldiers who entered the city rushed out of the city and reported to Ajige urgently.

"Prince Ying, after careful investigation, the slaves did not find any enemy troops in the city. Later, they found a secret passage leading to the outside of the city in a dry well that had exploded in the west of the city. The entrance of the secret passage had collapsed and people could not enter, so it is difficult to know where this secret passage leads to..."

Before the Qing army was finished exploring, a large amount of noise sounded from the Qing army formation at the north and south end of the city, like the surging sound of low waves, which quickly reached Ajige's ears.

"What's going on?"

"Prince Ying, our army discovered that there seemed to be a secret passage exit at the entrance of the beach in Fuzhou City. About hundreds of enemy troops had retreated from the secret passage and boarded the Tang naval ships on the shore of Shanghai. May I ask, are you going to send troops to pursue me now?" The whistleman asked with an anxious look on his face.

Ajig's face was tense, and he sighed, but he slowly shook his head.

At this point, the Qing army commander Ajige has already figured out the situation of the Fuzhou City defenders.

Damn, I completely miscalculated myself.

On that day, after the Haoge tribe sneaked into the Gaizhou area, they never returned to Fuzhou City, but did not know where they went. In Fuzhou City, only hundreds of soldiers arranged by him remained here.

In order to confuse himself, all these defenders stayed at the top of the city and set up a large number of puppets and scarecrows to mix them, allowing themselves to misjudgment the number of defenders in the city and seize the city by daring to build siege equipment. This was a waste of precious days.

In the end, when the defenders in the city were sieging the city, they all retreated from the top of the city and sneaked back to the secret passage. Most of the personnel fled straight from the secret passage to the coast west of Fuzhou.

In this Fuzhou city, only dozens of soldiers were left behind, hiding in the critical area of ​​Fuzhou city. The Qing army rushed into the dense group and then ignited the fire. The Qing army caught off guard and suffered heavy losses and was in a mess.

But they took advantage of the gap between nodding and fled quickly. They caught up with the troops who had left earlier in the secret passage, came out from the exit of the coast, boarded the Tang naval ship parked on the coast, and retreated in a floating manner.

Thinking of this, Ajige couldn't help but sigh again.

After spending a lot of effort, he came from Shengjing to lead troops. With the strength of the Sanshun Kings, nearly 20,000 troops had been lost. Only such an enemy had already withdrawn, and the interior was moved, and now it had been blown into an empty city in ruins. For a famous general who had made countless achievements on the battlefield for a long time, this was simply a huge irony and an unspeakable shame.

Finally, Ajige came back from frustration and anger. With a dull expression, he weakly ordered the Qing army to enter the city and to symbolize the city. At the same time, he made every effort to treat the wounded and collect the Qing army's corpses covered with the ground in the city.

And they had to escape from the secret passage that had collapsed at the entrance and had boarded the Tang naval ships.

Just after Ajige finished ordering, on the coast of the west of Fuzhou City, dozens of Tang naval ships whistled together. The loud whistle sounded across the sky, sounding loudly like a demonstration. They went south and drove away, making Ajige and the Qing army even more angry.

The battle against Fuzhou City ended hastily.

The Qing army obtained an empty city with huge losses of personnel. Ajige imagined that he wiped out the Haoge tribes, and then brought the heads of Haoge, Oboi, Yang Shan and others back to Shengjing. The scene of triumphant success and jubilation no longer existed like a bubble. Now it seems that such bold words at the beginning were just a joke of humiliation.

The day after conquering Fuzhou City, Ajige, who was extremely depressed, ordered the troops to go to the station, and the three kings of Shun also returned to their bases.

What Ajige, Sanshun King and others would never have thought was that in the early morning of the day when they were in charge, the Tang naval ships, after loading the Tang army artillery troops from Jinzhou, had already traveled northward to the sea outside Zhuanghe City, preparing to first attack the Huanggu Island Fort built on the coast outside Zhuanghe City.

Huanggudao Fort was built during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty. It is located on a remote coast north of Zhuanghe City, a county-level city under Dalian. On the right is the entrance of the Yingna River, which is connected to Pulandian Guifu Fort in the west and Zhenyi Fort in the east. It stands at the sea and is located in a dangerous position. This fort is like the nearby Guifu Fort in the nearby Zhenyi Fort, which was built to prevent the invasion of Japanese pirates in the Ming Dynasty.

The fort is extremely solid, with one mile and two hundred and fifty steps around it. There is a gate to the south. The fort is covered with bricks. Before the Ming army abandoned the front, nearly 300 Ming troops were stationed. During the Eastern Expedition of Wanli of the Ming Dynasty, as many as 1,000 troops were stationed.

However, since the Dongjiang General Mao Wenlong was killed by Yuan Chonghuan, the soldiers of the Dongjiang Town Army were in a state of turmoil and internal strife. The new General Huang Long was exhausted to suppress the mutiny. A dignified general was cut off by the mutiny soldiers. If the soldiers had not come to rescue him in time, he would have almost died. Because the Ming army was defeated by the Daling River last year, the reinforcements sent by southern Liaoning were wiped out and the troops were even less sufficient, Huang Long ordered that the Ming army in southern Liaoning retreat to Jinzhou in full. Huanggudao Fort was abandoned by the Ming army, just like Guifu Fort and Zhenyi Fortress, all of them were abandoned by the Ming army. However, because of its favorable position of being established by the river and the sea, the fort was then occupied by the Later Jin.

From the Later Jin Dynasty to the current Shunzhi period, this place was under the rule of the Qing Dynasty. It is estimated that more than 300 Kong Youde defenders who are guarding this fort are never dreaming that on such a cold evening, the Tang army would send troops to attack them.

At the end of Yin in the early morning of the 7th day of the lunar month of the first year of Anping, the Tang army fleet, which tried to slow down the ship as much as possible, quietly arrived at the coast three miles away in front of Huanggu Fort.

At this time, the entire Haoge army had already eaten and drank on the ship, armed with weapons and made final preparations. When the sky was getting brighter and brighter, the soldiers of the army were carrying guns on their backs, leaving the cabin door, and getting off the ship and landing.

At this time, the scattered snowflakes began to fall, flying everywhere with the howling cold wind, like a distant and vast song.

He wore a beautiful iron eight-petal bright helmet, pure white iron armor, a big red cloak, a thick cowhide strap with his waist, and iron mesh boots. He was dressed in a standard Tang army general. He was the first to step onto the coast of the Zhuang River, took a deep breath of cold and cold air, and stared at the dark black sky with snowflakes flying for a long time. His eyes were filled with emotion.

Humph, Ajige should have taken Fuzhou now. However, although Ajige won Fuzhou, he could only get an empty city. He also had to pay for being ambushed and exploded, and suffered a lot of military casualties. Such a result would definitely make Ajige, and the Qing court feel uncomfortable as if he had eaten shit.

Now, I have to take advantage of the victory to completely eliminate Kong Youde's nest. Let these bastards come back from Fuzhou and find a pile of broken bricks and tiles that have been completely destroyed, which is difficult to live in!

When the Hauge tribes quietly landed from the coast, a veteran of the fort guard who was originally curling into a ball and napping on the fort wall on the Huanggu Island Fort was trembling with a dazzling cold wind and woke up from his dream.

He rubbed his eyes and stood up, and immediately shivered by the howling cold wind and cold snowflakes. As he yawned for a long time, he saw the other soldiers on the fort wall still sleeping tightly wrapped in thick linoleum, and he couldn't help but curse indignantly. I don't know if they were scolding these soldiers or his Shangguan.

Then, according to the requirements of past inspections, the guard slowly walked up to the highest floor of the fortress building, looked around to see if there were any abnormalities.

The guard looked around a few places casually, suddenly his eyes widened, then grabbed the wall of the building with both hands, stared straight at the east side of Huanggu Island Fort, and his mouth also opened into an O-shaped shape.

He could hardly believe his eyes.

Through the snowflakes flying all over the sky, he could vaguely see that there were several large ships parked by the sea where almost no one had ever come, and a large number of troops were rolling down from the ship.

The guard immediately turned pale, and he shouted in a daze: "No! No! An enemy is coming to attack!"
