"That's right, let's fight."

Ilgen Jue Luo Doro also roared angrily, and sparks of battle intent flashed in his eyes.

Immediately, Ilgen Jue Luo Doro ordered the whole army to march, and more than 4,000 Tartars immediately continued to move south, heading straight for Zhenjiang Fort.

Half an hour later, Ilgen Jue Luo Doro led more than 4,000 Tartars to the front of the Jiulian Castle north of Zhenjiang.

At this time, the scale of Jiulian City was far from being as large as that of later generations, and it should not be called Jiulian City, but should be called Jiulian Fort.

The size of Jiulian Fort is different, nine cities are connected, there are twenty miles away from Zhenjiang Fort, twenty-five miles away from Yalu River, the northeast is the grass river, the southeast is the Yalu River, behind is the Zhendong Mountain, the terrain is dangerous.

After Luo Chao captured Zhenjiang Fort, he immediately sent troops to Jiulian Fort, and sent craftsmen and craftsmen to repair each fort first and add forts on each fort.

When Ilgenjue Lodoro led his army to the front of the fort, he immediately noticed that this place was different.

Ilgen Jue Luo Doro often came to Zhenjiang to inspect the fort, and when he used to pass through here, the Jiulian Fort here was already in ruins, and the Tartars left only a small symbolic garrison here.

And they are all traitors and slaves, and those real Tartars will not go to this kind of place to suffer!

Now, a small part of the dilapidated fortresses here have changed a lot.

One of the forts was clearly newly renovated, with sharp corners erected on it, and moats and slopes.

"It's only been a few days, and the Ming army has actually repaired a fortress."

Ilgen Jue Luo Doro's face was gloomy, and he looked at the two renovated fortresses in front of him, and said in a cold voice.

Fortunately, after receiving the news of the fall of Zhenjiang Fort, Ilgen Jueluo immediately led his troops to rush over, and it only took more than half a day on the road.

But from Luo Chao's defeat of Zhenjiang to the arrival of Ilgen Jue Luo Duoluo with troops, three days have still passed.

Luo Chao mobilized hundreds of craftsmen and people, rushed to work day and night, and spent these three days repairing the most dangerous fortress in Jiulian Fort.

It's a pity that the time is too short, if he can give Luo Chao a few more days, he can repair a few more fortresses.

Just before the incense stick that the Tartars arrived, there were craftsmen here who repaired the fort.

It's a pity that with the scouts of the White Dragon Army before, after discovering the arrival of the Tartars, they hurried back to report.

A White Dragon Army general here immediately ordered the evacuation of the craftsmen and civilians who were repairing the fortress here in accordance with the order left by Luo Chao before.

At this time, Ilgen Jue Luo Duoluo looked at the fortress in front of him, his eyes were cold, and he said coldly to a Niu Lu Jingzhang behind him: "Pull it out!" ”

Ilgen felt that Luo Doro was also decisive enough, and without much hesitation, he gave the order to attack and uproot the fortress.

After all, if Ilgen Jue Luo Doro wanted to attack Zhenjiang, he had to pass through the barrier of Jiulian Fort first.

Then Ilgen Jue Luo Duoluo also found that this brand new fortress in the Nine Links Fort was obviously different from the previous fortress built by the Ming army.

This is a simple fortress built by the White Dragon Army, after all, time is limited, they can't build a complete fortress, they can only build a simple fortress on the basis of the original ruined fortress.

In the fortress, at this time, there was a Shi, about 100 officers and soldiers of the White Dragon Army, and more than 400 city defense soldiers to assist.

Of the more than 30,000 horses that Li Zixiao brought to Tamluo Island, there were only more than 10,000 soldiers of the real White Dragon Army, while there were more than 20,000 soldiers and soldiers of the city defense, accounting for two-thirds.

At this time, one of the commanders of the White Dragon Army in this new castle did not have the slightest fear after seeing the arrival of this Tartar cavalry, but became excited.

"Ring the alarm bell and be fully prepared. Light the beacon smoke and notify Zhenjiang. ”

As the commander of the White Dragon Army gave the order, the alarm bell of 'Dang Dang Dang' sounded in this new fort, and wolf smoke also rose from the top of the fort.

The Tartars under the New Castle, listening to the crisp alarm bells coming from the New Castle, and looking at the rising wolf smoke, there was only pride and mockery in their eyes.

In their opinion, this small fortress could not accommodate many soldiers at all, and it was impossible for it to withstand their attack.

Perhaps, if the Ming army can repair and strengthen the entire Jiulian Fort, the Tartars will be a little more afraid.

Although they had never seen this strange and ugly new fortress in front of them, those Tartar generals still did not think that such a small fortress could hold back their army of 4,000.

It's a pity that these Tartars must not know that far away in the Golden State, at this time there are already such ugly and strange fortresses.

And it is precisely with these ugly and strange fortresses that Liu Chongyou has only two or three thousand people in his hands.

was stunned to block Shang Kexi's tens of thousands of troops, so that they could not be saved in the area of Hongzui Fort, and finally had to return to Gaizhou City in disgrace.

“#@%&￥……”

Hearing Ilgen Jue Luo Doro give the order to attack, a Niu Lu Jingzhang behind him shouted to Qin Zhen and the others in the rear.

"Let people pull up all the Franc machines they brought!"

At this time, an Aha, who knew the Tatar language next to him, translated the meaning of this Tatar cow Lu Jingzhang dialect to Qin Zhen and them.

"Qin Zhen, you take someone with you." That aha saw Qin Zhen, pointed at him, and shouted.

"Phew! Wang Laizi, it seems that you are addicted to being a dog. Qin Zhen looked at the young man, his eyes were full of disgust, he spat and cursed.

Some of the other clothed minions around looked at the young man named Wang Laizi, obviously a little afraid and resentful.

"Damn, Qin Zhen, you're fine, you wait for me." Wang Laizi stared at Qin Zhen fiercely, thinking about how to calculate Qin Zhen.

Qin Zhen and this Wang Laizi are on a holiday, Qin Zhen once beat Wang Laizi, because this thing actually molested Uncle Yuan's daughter.

Since then, Wang Laizi has hated Qin Zhen, and often designs to frame and calculate Qin Zhen, and Qin Zhen is used to it.

Moreover, Wang Laizi relied on his proficiency in the Tatar language, and became a dog leg beside the Tatar Niu Lu Jingzhang.

After all, many of these people, who had just been plundered by the Tartars from the Guannei, could not understand what the Tartars said, and not all of them could speak Chinese.

As a result, traitors like many Wang Laizi, who were 'fat translators' in later generations, came into being, and they were mixed very moisturizing.

At this time, Qin Zhen couldn't resist the order of Tartar Niu Lu Jingzhang, so he had to follow a group of young people next to him to pull the cannon.

Although Ilgen Jue Luo Doro was in a hurry this time, he still carried several artillery pieces, all of which were thousand-pound Franc machines, and there were eight of them.

In addition, there are dozens of light tiger squat cannons, like the place where they are located, which belongs to the easternmost part of Liaodong, and is already close to North Korea.

It originally belonged to the hinterland of the Tartars, which was considered the safest area, and when Mao Wenlong died, there was no Ming army that could threaten it here.

Therefore, it is impossible for the Tartars to deploy too many troops here, and at the same time, it is impossible for these Tartars to have too many good artillery in their hands.

As the artillery was pushed up, Ilgen Jue Luo Doro gave the order to attack, and then a Niu Lu Jingzhang led two hundred Tartars and five hundred aha to launch the first wave of attacks on New Castle.

On the new fort, a soldier of the White Dragon Army guarding the fort in black cotton armor watched the Tartars push the cannons.

A group of Tartars had already begun to move towards them, and shouted to one of the White Dragon Commanders behind them, "Chief, the Tartars are attacking." ”

"Hey, these Tartars really think that we are soft persimmons, brothers, the Tartars are going to attack, and the order given to us by General Luo is to stay here, and the fort is here."

The commander of the White Dragon Army, named Zhu Dahai, shouted to the White Dragon soldiers behind him, as well as the soldiers of the city defense army.

"The fort is here!" More than 500 soldiers shouted in unison.

By this time, the gunners of the Tartars, who had already pushed their guns to the front of the formation, stopped about two hundred paces from Newcastle.

"Brothers in artillery, look how ridiculous these Tartars dare to push their artillery so close to us.

Don't these ridiculous tartars know that this is an act of sending them to death? Brothers in artillery, the rest is up to you. ”

Zhu Dahai shouted at the artillery of the White Dragon Army on the fort behind him.

On the back battery, an artillery commander of the White Dragon Army shouted with a sneer at this time: "Report to the chief, all the artillery has completed aiming, please give the order to shoot." ”

Suddenly, Zhu Dahai slapped the battlements with his big hand and shouted loudly: "Then what are you waiting for, open the cannon!" ”

Under the new castle, a group of Tartar gunners are pushing the gun carriage into the designated position, and then starting to do aiming, adjusting the angle and other pre-gun behaviors.

At this time, a coated minion suddenly noticed that many black holes and holes of cannon ports were suddenly exposed on the new castle above.

"The enemy is going to open fire!" A coated minion screamed in horror.

The new fort has several turrets and a lot of artillery inside.

The whole of the new fort is made up of several protruding forts, each with a double turret, and each of the surrounding forts can accommodate seven cannons.

As the main body of the new fort in the center, there is a largest battery, not only with three layers of ten cannons, but even among the ten guns, there are two twenty-four-pounder howitzers.

In this way, there were thirty-eight guns in the whole of the new castle, of which two were twenty-four pounderers, sixteen twelve-pounder guns, and twenty eight-pounder guns.

As for the white dragon soldiers, I don't know that the dozens of tiger squat cannons and Franc machines behind the trench outside the castle are no longer included in the ranks of artillery by them.

Outside the new castle, there was also a ditch two meters deep and four meters wide, and between the ditch and the city wall, a sheep and horse wall was built, and the Tartars not only had to attack the new castle on their backs, but also cross the ditch and the city wall.

The 100 White Dragon sergeants in the new castle were mainly musketeers and artillerymen, and the 400 city defense sergeants were mainly musketeers and baggage soldiers.

Anyway, the order Luo Chao gave them was to hold this new castle and never let the Tartars take it down easily.

And Luo Chao also had limited troops in his hands at this time, so he only put these 500 people on the new castle.

But Luo Chao believes that with the 500 soldiers on the new castle, it will be difficult for the Tartars to capture it, and the confidence comes from the dangerous terrain of the new castle and sufficient firepower.

Perhaps, if these five hundred people were placed in the wild, they would not be enough for the Tartars to swallow in one bite, but now that they are hiding in the new castle, this new castle will become a monster that can devour countless lives.

"Foolish Tartars, if you dare to fiddle with artillery in front of our White Dragon Army, you are looking for your own death! Let the grandfathers tell you today what is called artillery, and you are all called toys. ”

The artillery commander of the White Dragon Army looked at the artillery position of the Tartars not far from the fort, and said with a sneer.

"Except for the main battery loaded with howitzers, the rest of the battery artillery is all loaded with explosive shells, the target enemy artillery position, and the front out of the Tartar!"

The artillery commander of the White Dragon Army, with a grim look in his eyes, ordered his subordinates behind.

The heavy soldiers of the city defense army in the back carried boxes of shells to the fort, and the artillery of the White Dragon Army was responsible for loading.

"Turret No. 1, reloaded!"

"Turret No. 2, reloaded!"

"Turret No. 3, reloaded!

"Fort...... No. 4"

Soon, all the artillery non-commissioned officers shouted the command 'Reloaded'.

"Fire!"

Then, the artillery commander waved the command flag and shouted loudly.

One by one, the gunners saw the flag waving, leaving one gunner ready to ignite, while the others covered their ears and ducked to the side.

The Tartars had never seen such a fortress as the White Dragon Army, and they could never have imagined that there would be so many artillery pieces in such a fortress.

They didn't expect that their Franc machine at this time was still two hundred steps away, and before it could move forward, it was already on the Ming army's fortress and within the firing range of artillery.

As the first cannon fired, it was like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, deafening, and then the second, and third, and I was afraid that the sound of the cannon would be connected.

Thundered!

After the cannon fire on the new castle rang out, it never stopped.

For the gunners of the White Dragon Army in the new castle at this time, this kind of fixed battery shooting is undoubtedly the easiest and fastest.

Because they shoot from fixed batteries in fortresses, unlike them fighting in the field, they have to temporarily push the cannon to the designated position every time, carefully measure the distance, and adjust the angle.

On the new fort, their batteries were fixed, and they had already drawn up a area outside the city, and they had already adjusted the set parameters such as the angle of shelling and the amount of variable charges.

They can quickly adjust the amount of disguise charge and the firing angle according to the area where the enemy is located and according to the parameter table that has been set earlier, without the need to re-measure and calculate.

Cannonballs flew out of the barrels, into the sky, and then smashed down to the Tartars like meteors.

"Bang!"

A twenty-four-pound shrapnel was the first to fall and explode near the hundreds of Tartars that rushed forward.

The 24-pound shrapnel exploded in the air before it hit the ground, only to see a cloud of orange-red flames rising up, and the iron-cast shell shell was torn apart.

Suddenly, hundreds of lead bullets in the bullet casing screamed and shot away, and each small lead ball carried deadly kinetic energy, enveloping the Tartars and centaurs within a few feet below.

It was a place of death, and large swaths of Tartars were shot by projectiles and fell to the ground, screaming and wailing rang out.
