042 First Battle (1)
Four of the Qing soldiers held rattan signs and covered them in front, upper, left and right directions. A loud Qing soldiers squatting inside shouted at the top of their voices: "The Qing soldiers arrived, Wuzhou has been surrounded, and the pseudo-Ming emperor did not open the door to surrender! My military gate said that as long as you take the initiative to surrender, you can keep your wealth and honor without worries. If you do not surrender, you will kill them on the spot after the city is broken!"
It turned out that he was persuaded to surrender. Zhu Youlang smiled contemptuously, waved his hand to summon Jiao Lian, and said with a smile: "Just jumping clown, General, please chase me!"
Jiao Lian took the order, observed the distance between the two sides with his eyes, and ordered his personal soldiers to get a two-stone iron-tied recurved bow, pull the bowstring, and put on a feather arrow, and flew towards the Qing soldiers who were persuading to surrender. w?w w.
The feather arrow shot out, like light and lightning, carrying a thousand pounds of force, "Bang!" and it shot to the rattan sign for the Qing soldiers. The Qing soldiers could not resist the force and retreated repeatedly. Finally, they sat down to the ground. The shield formation was immediately broken, revealing the Qing soldiers who were persuading to surrender inside.
Before the rattan soldiers beside him made up for the gap, Jiao Lian's second arrow, as fast as lightning, arrived. With a "swish", he passed his surrender by his throat. With a scream, he fell to the ground and died. Before the other rattan soldiers could react, the third arrow arrived again. With a "swish", one of the rattan soldiers' legs were shot through and howled in shock. The remaining rattan soldiers were frightened when they saw this and did not dare to stay in place again. They turned around and turned their horses and turned their heads and ran away.
The Ming army on the top of the city laughed in unison, and the morale that had just fallen back up again.
After Jiao Lian collected the arrows, Zhu Youlang praised loudly: "The general is really a sharp shot, these three arrows have greatly boosted our army's morale!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a loud noise came from Xicheng, followed by a few intermittent loud noises.???

?Cn Several cannons entered the city, with stones jumping, passing through the walls and aisles, wooden beams flying across, smoke and dust shattered, and standing on the top of the city, you can still hear the heart-breaking shouts of the people in the city. The entire Wuzhou City was trembling slightly.
"No, the Tartars are testing the cannon!"
Seeing the cannons so powerful, the Ming soldiers on the city were shocked.
They asked the emperor whether to test the cannon and fight back. Zhu Youlang looked at the Qing army's position and nodded, saying, "Don't use the red barbarian cannon, fight back with the old cannon."
"The Tartars are cunning, and their positions are far away from the city wall. You can't hit them with old cannons!" Zhai Shizuo reported with a frown.
"I know, sir, don't worry." Zhu Youlang smiled mysteriously and said, "I already have a temple calculation in my mind, so just use the old cannon to test the cannon. It doesn't matter whether it hits the enemy or not."
The holy order was difficult to violate, and Zhai Shihu took his life with skepticism and directed the gunner to test the cannon.
A moment later, several old-fashioned Franchise cannons roared one after another, but the stone bullets that fell under the city were weak. They bounced a few times and lost their attack power. At this time, they were still five or six miles away from the Qing army's position. After a few shots, they did not even hurt the Qing army's Mao.??

The Qing army at the city saw that the Ming army was also testing the cannons and fighting back, and there was some turmoil. When they saw that the cannons were not even touching their own formation, they couldn't help but laugh at them, with a filthy speech.
Li Chengdong, who was standing on the central army's chariot, also burst into laughter. He was a veteran on the battlefield who had been tested by the smoke of war for a long time. When he chose a position, he cleverly placed the formation outside the farthest range of the artillery. He was very familiar with the artillery operation process of the old Ming army's partners. The power of the artillery was also very familiar. In the past, in the war with the Ming army, he often seized the fleeting fighter jets and took advantage of the gaps in the defenders' ammunition to wait for an opportunity to attack.
Seeing that the Ming army's artillery was still the same, he felt relieved and ordered the position to move forward one mile again to prepare to fill the moat to attack the city.
Seeing that the time had come, Zhu Youlang immediately issued an order to move six new red cannons borrowed from Macau to the top of the city to replace the old cannons.
Zhu Youlang is already very clear about the power of the new cannon. Not only is it long range, but it is also very lethal, and it is not complicated to operate, and it is relatively simple. I deliberately showed it as weak just now, just for the sake of this moment.
The movements of the Ming army on the top of the city were always watched by the Qing army under the city. The somewhat careful Qing army's cannons on the South Gate Tower were not the previous batch, but they did not think much about it. They thought they had known the longest range of the Ming army's cannons, so they were not worried, and did not respond to the situation in a timely manner to the commander-in-chief of the Central Army.
They followed the general order and slowly pushed the position forward, with the rattan soldiers in front, the sword and spearmen in the center, the musketeers and the crossbowmen behind, and lined up their formations and pushed forward in a row.
However, the development of things is often unexpected. Soon the cannons on the city fired a few iron bullets, and fell into the Qing army's formation in a few ups and downs. Then there was a continuous burst of shrill screams and moans. Hundreds of Qing soldiers were unable to dodge and were smashed to death and injured.
Why did the Ming army's artillery range suddenly become so much longer?! The few shells with the longest range of ordinary cannons suddenly stunned all the Qing army under the city.
However, the Portuguese artillery on the city was not confused. Under the command of Jiang Rong, they took advantage of the gap that the enemy had not yet reacted, and stepped up the filling of ammunition. They aimed at the Qing army positions four miles away and sent out the six shells in the cannon chamber again. The Qing army was immediately knocked down. Wherever the shells passed, there were broken limbs and broken arms, and blood and flesh flew everywhere. The Qing army under the city experienced the power of a new Western artillery. They shouted loudly and scolded the Ming army guarding the city for being indecent, and then kept retreating wildly, and the formation suddenly dispersed.
Li Chengdong, who was commanding the army in the central army chariot, almost fainted when he saw this scene. Seeing hundreds of elite soldiers who were careless and didn't even touch the edge of the city wall, he was sent to the west by cannons on the city. He was so angry that he was almost crazy and roared and ordered to retreat quickly.
Take his life while he is sick.
Seeing that the Qing army was in chaos, Zhu Youlang knew that the opportunity was rare, so he hurriedly called Jiao Lian and said, "The Tartars formation is in chaos, and the opportunity must not be missed. My dear Lord sent five hundred cavalry out of the city to raid, killing the Tartars' spirit!"
Jiao Lian received the order.
Zhu Youlang said angrily: "When your beloved comes out of the city to kill the enemy, I personally beat the drums for the warriors!"
After Jiao Lian got off the city, he turned over the horse and lit five hundred personal horses. After his eyes swept across everyone's faces, he raised his chest, fisted over, blushed his face, and said loudly: "Prepare to leave the city and kill the Tartars!"
"Kill the Tartars! Kill the Tartars!" Five hundred personal cavalry shouted in unison, with a majestic momentum and deafening look.
Five hundred cavalry entered the Nanmen Wucheng in order, and the main city gate behind them slowly closed, and the entire army was waiting for the order to attack.
"Open the city gate!"
The gate of the Wengcheng slowly opened, the moat and the suspension bridge of the outer moat were lowered in turn.
"The whole army is ready!"
Jiao Lian held a long sword in his hand and took the lead. His confidant generals Bai Gui, Ma Zhiji, and Tang Wenyao followed closely behind.
"kill!"
Chapter completed!
