"Lord Wang, all the ships have persisted, all of them are in good condition, and they are ready to go to sea at any time.
There were now seventeen large ships and more than fifty small ships in the harbor, and there were no warships, all of them merchant ships or fishing boats. ”
At this time, in Liancheng, a Tartar general was reporting to Duoduo.
"Very well, send someone to watch over these ships."
Duoduo was also overjoyed when he heard this, and told the Tartar generals in front of him.
Because these ships were a way back for Dord, if things were bad, he would consider escaping by boat.
"By the way, what happened to the three forts in the city? Can it be used? ”
At this time, Duoduo was concerned about the three forts in the city.
Previously, Duoduo saw the three forts built by the White Dragon Army in Liancheng with his own eyes, and was also stunned by the several large-caliber guns installed in the forts.
Although, the Tartars can now also build their own artillery, and it is much stronger than the previously built artillery.
However, like the oversized caliber artillery on the Liancheng Fort, the Tartar would never be able to make it at this time, and this was the first time Duoduo had seen it anyway.
After seeing these large-caliber guns, Duoduo's eyes also lit up, and he immediately arranged for people to debug them and prepare them for their use.
As a result, at this time, Duoduo asked again, but the Tartar general said with a bitter face: "Back to the prince, we can't use the artillery on the three forts!" ”
"What, it doesn't work? Why can't it be used? ”
Duoduo shouted discontentedly.
"Back to the prince, none of our soldiers who crossed the sea this time can use artillery, and they won't debug the kind of large artillery here at all.
Before, we tried to fire a few shots, but we didn't know where to go, and our soldiers couldn't use it!
Perhaps, the only ones who can use these cannons are the White Snake soldiers in the city, but they have all been killed by us! ”
The Tartar general also looked pity on his face, and said to Duoduo.
He knew that it would be great if a few large-caliber guns on these batteries could be used by them.
"What then?
If we can't use these batteries, in case the ships of the White Snake Army attack from the sea, what will we attack? ”
Dodor stood up and yelled angrily.
"Don't worry, in its current form, those warships of the White Snake Army at sea don't dare to rashly attack us.
Although, we don't know how to fire these guns, but we can still get them just by firing them.
Therefore, when the White Snake Army warships on the sea approached the port before, we fired a few shots indiscriminately, and immediately scared them back.
The minions believed that at this time, the White Snake Army warships on the sea thought that we had mastered these forts, and they would not dare to attack them easily. ”
The Tartar general said with a smile.
"And that's good news for us.
In this way, it is better to leave some soldiers in those three batteries, and if you find that there are enemy ships attacking at sea, you will open fire to deter them. ”
Duoduo had no choice but to make this decision at this time.
There is no way, among the 20,000 Tartars brought by Duoduo and Agu Yang this time, all of them are Tartar soldiers, and there are no soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty.
And these Tartar soldiers, to say that they fight with cold weapons, they are indeed a strong horse.
But when it comes to operating these muskets and artillery, they are far inferior to the soldiers of the Han Eight Banners in the Qing army at this time.
The use of muskets is quite simple, and they can barely tinker.
However, those artillery, especially the large-caliber artillery on the three batteries in Liancheng, whether it is loading, aiming, or shooting, are more cumbersome.
It must be carried out according to a strict operating process, otherwise it will not be used at all.
Even if they can fire, it will be far from being able to hit the target.
Such a situation was also something that Duoduo and Agu Sheep had never expected before they set off.
Therefore, at this time, Duoduo could only use the three forts on the city to pretend to be powerful.
This kind of situation is also unknown to the dozen or so old warships of the White Dragon Army on the sea at this time, and the Tartar fox and fake tiger power really frightened them.
Before, the Tartars indiscriminately used the large caliber of the fort to fire a few cannons, which made the generals of the White Dragon Army warships on the sea mistakenly think that the Tartars had taken control of the fort, so that they did not dare to attack easily.
With the power of those large-caliber guns on the Liancheng Fort, a single cannonball hit a White Dragon Army warship, which was enough to send a warship to the bottom of the sea.
Now, this large-caliber artillery equipped with a new type of explosive bomb is very terrifying.
Even if it is a new three-masted gunboat equipped with the largest tonnage at this time in the White Dragon Army Navy, if it is hit by a cannon from the battery, once it hits the keel, it will sink with one shot.
It was precisely because of this that the admirals of the White Dragon Army, who knew the terrifying power of the three forts in Liancheng, did not dare to attack easily and waited for Zhou Dazhu's order.
It can be said that due to the difference in information between the two sides, the current situation has been caused by mistake.
The White Dragon Army outside the city mistakenly thought that the Tartars inside the city had obtained their armory and controlled their batteries, so they did not dare to attack the city immediately.
And in the city, Duoduo knew that the flintlock pistols in their hands at this time would not last long, because there was not much ammunition.
And those three forts can only be used to scare people, because they can't use them!
In addition, Duoduo knew the strength of the White Dragon Army and the strength of its combat power, so even at this time, he had more than 12,000 Tartar soldiers in his hands in Liancheng.
He didn't expect to be able to hold out for long in Liancheng, which was why he had thought about retreating early.
"For five days, this king will hold on to the city for five days, if within five days, the fourteenth brother and Haoge will not be able to break through the northern Jinzhou defense line and kill them.
When the time comes, the king will take the people with him, and he must not stay here for too long, otherwise he will be in danger at that time. ”
At this time, Duoduo also had such a calculation in his heart.
Five days is also the time he thinks is the most bearable.
It was also calculated by him that the White Dragon Army might come from Shandong and other armies at the fastest time for reinforcements.
"By the way, how are the corpses of those people in the city disposed of?"
After thinking in his heart, Duoduo looked at the Tartar general in front of him again and asked.
"Back to the prince, there are too many corpses of those Han people in the city, and we only have 8,000 people left in the city to dispose of the corpses, which is a bit slow.
Now, our people are driving the 8,000 Han people left behind, asking them to transport all the corpses of the people in the city to the open space in the east of the city and burn them.
However, they are not well manned, and the speed of cleaning is very slow, and at their speed, I am afraid it will take several days to clean up. ”
Upon hearing the Tartar general's report, Duoduo frowned, clearly dissatisfied with the result.
In order to vent his hatred for Li Zixiao and the White Dragon Army, Duoduo slaughtered the city frantically, and in the end, most of the people in the city were slaughtered.
When Wu Beiwang led the army to the outside of Liancheng, the people still alive in the city were less than 10,000.
It was only at this time that Dordor ordered the slaughter to be stopped, leaving the eight thousand living civilians behind and driving them to clean up the corpses in the city.
When Dodor decided to hold out in the city for five days, he knew he had to send someone to dispose of the corpses in the city.
Otherwise, at the current temperature of summer, those corpses will soon decompose, and they live in the city, and it is easy for diseases to breed.
Now, however, he heard the report of his Tartar generals.
I knew that it would take too long to rely on the 8,000 people left in the city to dispose of the corpses of as many as 120,000 people in the city.
Duoduo thought for a moment, then looked up and instructed the Tartar general, "You take people and clean up the courtyards where our soldiers are temporarily camping."
Also, the granaries where we stored our grain in the city, and the corpses near several important water sources in the city.
The corpses in the rest of the places, don't worry about it, we can't waste too much time on this.
Anyway, we will only stay in the city for five days, and after five days we will leave, and then those corpses will not rot or not, and it will not matter to us.
In this way, the 8,000 Han laborers were freed up to demolish the houses in the city and transport the rolling wood and stones to the city wall to defend the city.
In this way, we can free up a lot of our warriors to defend the city, you know? ”
"Hey, the minion understands."
After listening to Dodor's command, the Tartar general knelt down and answered.
Duoduo led more than 12,000 Tartars, ready to defend the city to the death, hold out for five days, and hold on to enough White Dragon soldiers and horses.
On the night of the 11th, more than 7,000 other main forces of Tartars led by Agu Yang quietly came to the outside of Lushun City.
"My lord, Arthur City has arrived."
"How's it going in the city?"
Agu Yang lurked behind a hill west of Arthur City with 7,000 Tartar soldiers, and asked a Tartar scout.
"Back to my lord, the city is quiet, and there is nothing unusual.
There are only a dozen or so guards patrolling the city walls, and the garrison camp in the city should not know about our arrival yet. ”
The Tartar scout lowered his voice and reported to the Agu sheep.
"Could it be that the White Snake Army in Lushun City still doesn't know the news of our coming?"
After listening to the report of the Tartar scouts under his command, Agu Yang muttered to himself with some doubts.
Originally, Agu Yang led the army all the way south, and before arriving in Lushun City, he thought that the defenders in Lushun City might have received an early warning from Jinzhou in the north.
After all, their 7,000 men were infantry, and they walked all the way from Nanguan to Lushun, but they walked for a day and a night.
It took so long for the cavalry sent by Golden State to arrive in Arthur City.
Therefore, the quietness shown by Arthur City at this time made him uneasy.
"My lord, the Han dogs in the city are defenseless, let's attack the city at night, and kill them by surprise."
Behind Agu Sheep, there was a Tartar general who said excitedly, and the excitement of emotions made them forget the exhaustion of their bodies.
But after a while, Agu Yang shook his head and said, "The situation is not quite right, the defenders in Lushun City may have received the news.
Most of them have already set up an ambush in the city, waiting for us to attack, how can this little trick deceive the general.
Tell the soldiers, rest all night, and attack the city again tomorrow. ”
"Wow!"
Hearing Agu Yang say this, some of the Tartar generals behind him were a little disappointed, but they still carried out the order.
This time, Agu Yang really didn't guess wrong, at this time, the seemingly quiet Lushun City was full of murderous opportunities.
From the outside of the city, there are only a few patrol soldiers standing guard on the city wall of Lushun, but in fact, on the city wall in Lushun City, a group of white dragon soldiers, squatting with flintlock guns, are already waiting there.
Once Agu Yang really dares to lead the Tartars to attack the city at night tonight, what awaits them will be a fierce counterattack by the White Dragon Army, and the Tartars will inevitably suffer heavy losses at that time.
In fact, in addition to the reason for Agu Yang to give up attacking Arthur City at night, there is another reason.
That is, the more than 7,000 Tartar soldiers he led had been marching continuously for seven or eight hours before they could reach the outside of Lushun so quickly, and they were all exhausted.
At this time, if the city is attacked at night, the soldiers will not be able to stand it.
Even, once Agu Yang's guess came true, there was really an ambush set up by the White Dragon Army in the city, and the exhausted Tartar soldiers would not even have the physical strength to escape.
Therefore, after thinking about it carefully, Agu Yang still decided not to take risks, and let his soldiers rest for the night first.
Anyway, he believed that even if it was dawn, there would be no White Dragon soldiers and horses to rescue Arthur City in a short time.
Because, according to their calculations in advance, more than two-thirds of the soldiers and horses of the Zhenliao Army were all in Jinzhou City north of the Jinzhou Canal, in the area of Big and Small Black Mountain and Hongzui Fort.
The soldiers and horses left behind in the rear of Jinzhou are not only small in number, but they are also not elite, and their combat power is ordinary.
What's more, there is not only one big city in Lushun, but only Lushun, so scattered, Agu Yang believes that in the end, there will not be too many defenders in Lushun City.
Even if, after he attacked the city at dawn, the White Dragon Army got the news, and then transferred troops from Jinzhou, the big and small black mountains to support, there was no two days, and it was impossible to catch up.
For such a long time, Agu Yang believes that it is enough for him to take Lushun City.
It would be even better if the White Dragon Army could really be able to transfer back troops and horses from the area of the Great and Small Black Mountains, and it would also relieve some pressure on the attack of Dolgon and Hauge in the north.
Agu Yang did not order the Tartars to attack the city, and the two garrison generals in the city, Zhu Yong and Feng Tong, with more than 2,000 city defense musketeers, waited until the second half of the night, but did not see the Tartars attack the city.
"Hey, General Leng, is your news accurate? Is there really a Tartar coming towards our Lushun?
It's been waiting until the second half of the night, and I haven't seen the Tartars attacking the city as you said? ”
Zhu Yong looked at Leng Feng behind him dissatisfiedly and whispered.
It turned out that Leng Feng also rushed to Lushun in time and reported to Li Sheng and Zhu Yong that Liancheng had fallen, and there might be a main army of Tartars all the way to kill them.
Li Sheng and others were also shocked when they heard the news that Liancheng had been captured by the Tatars.
When they heard that the Tartars had slaughtered the city, Li Sheng and the others were furious and scolded the Tartars.
Then, when they heard Leng Feng say that there might be a main force of nearly 10,000 Tartars who were killing them overnight, they were even more shocked into a cold sweat.
