"Not a good sign!"

Fu Kana, the keeper of Gaizhou City, said to himself while eating lunch while looking at the gloomy sky outside. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Master!"

As soon as he finished saying this, suddenly there was a heart-rending cry outside.

Before a fish bone in Fu Kana's mouth could be spit out, he was so frightened that he swallowed it directly, and the hard fish bone was stuck in the esophagus without any accident, and General Fu, who had just been sealed as a third-class Ada Hahafan, felt uncomfortable in his throat with a mouth, and he couldn't even speak for a while, and he sat there and his face was red and retching.

"Huh?"

Bao Yi, who rushed in, lay there with a confused face.

"My lord, the Ming army is coming!"

At the same time, an officer rushed in and shouted.

"You dog minion!"

General Fu, who came to his senses, ignored him, pointed to the bag and scolded angrily.

At the same time, he grabbed a steamed bun and stuffed it into his mouth as quickly as possible, and took a bite and swallowed it hard, like a duck being choked by the neck, making a strange sound in his throat, but the steamed bun finally swallowed, General Fu obviously felt much better, and he stroked his chest with his hand and let out a sigh.

"Your Excellency?"

The officer approached him and asked tentatively.

General Fu raised his head and opened his mouth to say something, when his face suddenly changed, and a mouthful of blood spurted out violently, instantly confusing the officer's face.

"Come on!"

The coat let out a heart-rending scream again.

The city guard yamen was in chaos.

Even more chaotic, however, was on the city walls.

On the walls of this famous ancient city, all the defenders are running in panic and rushing to their posts, the bells on the drum tower are constantly ringing, the dull drums are also beating, and those soldiers who are full of Han and Eight Banners are looking at the sea to the west in horror. On that blue sea, accompanied by the rising tide, a huge fleet was slowly coming under the impetus of the waves, and countless warships formed a spectacular scene of sails, and on the decks of those large warships, the cannons were shocking.

Of course, what is even more shocking is that on the largest battleship, there are twelve dragon flags waving in the wind, and a yellow crank cover.

The Dog Emperor is here.

"This is Gaizhou City, it's not small!"

Yang Feng looked at the square ancient city in the distance and said.

"Your Majesty, Gaizhou, Fuzhou, and Jinzhou in this area are all big cities, but since the fall of Liaoyang, the people in this area have been unable to escape to Shandong, and later Mao Wenlong came over and saw in Jinfu, and the entire area was almost completely deserted. The population of the Tartars is small, and they can't fill so many places, only there are people to the north of Gaizhou, and there are basically no people to the south from Xiongyue City, but the Tartars have no water division to fight, at most there are some small boats on the Yalu River, so the imperial court water division can still control Shicheng Island and other islands. ”

Zhang Mingzhen said.

Yang Feng also learned that the Ming army still occupied Shicheng Island after he arrived at Shanhaiguan, and there was also a general soldier of Shicheng Island, Ma Denghong, and the famous Ming Fan Lin Qingye of North Korea was also there, both of them are currently under Huang Fei's subordinates.

"It's a pity Mao Wenlong!"

He said with emotion.

"Let's land!"

Then he said.

"Your Majesty, the Qinghe River is small and shallow, and the big ships in the fleet can only ride the tide, and they will have to withdraw in three hours at most!"

Zhang Mingzhen reminded him.

"Don't worry, I'm in my own way!"

Yang Feng patted him on the shoulder and said.

Zhang Mingzhen didn't say much more, in fact, there was the emperor driving the expedition in person, and there was really nothing to worry about, he immediately saluted and retreated, commanding the ships to sail into the mouth of the Daqing River by riding the rising tide.

As for the defenders in the city, they didn't dare to come out at all, they only had a total of 1,000 defenders, and there was only one Manchu of Niulu, and the rest were all Han troops, and there was more than one example of the dog emperor beating the elite of Manchuria.

What's more, General Fu was vomiting blood at this time!

The defenders of Gaizhou City watched the Ming warships take advantage of the tide to enter the Daqing River, and then began to put down the sampan to transport soldiers ashore on both sides at the same time, the dog emperor was the first to board the north bank, looking at him carrying a scary-looking big knife standing on the shore, the defenders in the city did not dare to come out, the big knife is the same as the giant axe, it is about to be interpreted into a magic weapon of demons, and the Horqin Department was chopped by that thing Thousands of people. They all trembled on the city wall, watching the Ming troops in red clothes and carrying bird guns continue to land on the shore, and then, under the command of the officer, began to rely on the river bank, piling up simple breastworks out of earth, and cutting down trees to make antlers near the perimeter of the breastwork.

They even lifted out a strange snake-like wire loop that was fixed between the antlers.

Uh, that's barbed wire.

Serpentine barbed wire.

Soon the full tide period passed, the large ships of the Ming fleet in the Daqing River withdrew with the tide, and the five thousand Ming troops also landed, and began to march south, and there was a small Qing army stronghold Xiongyue City in the south of Gaizhou, where a small number of Qing troops were stationed. The Ming army on the north bank quickly established a barely usable defensive line, and then began to build a simple wharf by the river, although there was also a wharf in the south of Gaizhou, but it was within the range of fire on the city wall, and then some small boats transporting cannons docked and began to unload one cannon after another, it was clear that they were not ready to attack immediately, which also made the defenders breathe a sigh of relief.

And at this time, this bad news was also sent to Niuzhuang by the relay fast horse.

After getting this bad news, the blue flag Gushan Ezhen Baduli stationed in Niuzhuang almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, he never thought that Yang Feng would actually play flank landing with him, he knew very well what it would mean once the Ming army captured Gaizhou City. From Gaizhou to the north into the main settlement of the banner people, the dog emperor on this line to gain a firm foothold, relying on a steady stream of sea supplies and his strong combat effectiveness, has been advancing northward, then this Liaodong banner people will have to flow blood, especially at this time is about to spring sowing, he keeps harassing people who can't farm, but they will starve to death in winter.

This guy reacted quickly, and at the same time as reporting to Shenyang, the 5,000 Eight Banners mobilized from Niuzhuang, Haizhou and other places first went south to reinforce them.

However, the first to arrive was the defenders of Kumatake Castle who were heading north from the south.

Thirty miles southwest of Gaizhou, looking at the Haitai Pass.

"Oh yes, a bunch of bird-stricken-gunned rabbits."

The third-class Maile Zhangjing Yile Shen looked at the Ming army in front of him in a hurry, touched his white beard and said speechlessly.

This old guy is seventy-five years old this year, and he has also fought with the wild boar skin father and son for a lifetime, in fact, he was dismissed at an old age before, but because the Eight Banners are really young and middle-aged now, he had to be reinstated and re-served as the guard of Xiongyue City, but no one expected him to be able to fight, and Xiongyue City is not the front line, it is just a vigilance. He has a total of Niu Lu in his hand, in fact, he has not received an order, he is in the south of Gaizhou, but this area is his defense area, including the defenders of Gaizhou, which is also under his command, but his station is Xiongyue City.

It was clear that he did not take the only 1,000 Ming troops who were holding him back.

Not to mention that this is still a thousand infantry.

And he is the most ineffective bird soldier in the infantry.

And there are neither shields, nor spearmen, not even side vans, only two small cannons and at most a thousand light infantry who don't seem to have cotton armor, not to mention that he has a bull, he has thirty Eight Banner athletes, and he is confident that he can be scattered in one go.

"My lord, kill it, let those little cubs see how our old Eight Banners fight!"

A veteran next to him said.

The vast majority of this Niu Lu are veterans over forty, and the young and middle-aged consumed too much last year, and these grandfathers also had to put on their armor again, but these old guys are indeed old, but no matter which one of them is killed in the sea of corpses and blood, no matter which one of them has cut off the heads of dozens or hundreds of Han people, the rich combat experience is not comparable to the younger generation, they can see the result of this battle at a glance from the composition of the Ming army on the opposite side.

"Rush, bounce!"

Ilshen picked up his spear and shouted.

"Do you want to divide your forces to attack the flanks?"

The veteran said.

"Is this necessary?"

Ilshen was speechless.

It's really not necessary, just less than a thousand Ming troops rushed over and stepped on it.

Three hundred Manchurian veterans with yellow flags quickly raised their spears, and then urged the war horses to form a Yangtze River Delta with Yileshen as the core, and launched a charge towards the Ming army.

"Calm down, don't mess around!"

Zhu Yiwu, commander of the second battalion of the infantry of the Dangkou Brigade, shouted with a saber in his hand.

He was born in Jiangxi shantytown, because he was bold and righteous, so he was very respected in the Dangkou Brigade, when he elected officers, he was voted as the battalion commander by the whole battalion, although he participated in the war for the first time, although his heart was pounding, but he still endured panic to perform his duties, he knew that the emperor was not far from the north, when he thought of the emperor's figure, the Tartar in the distance did not seem so terrible.

At most, one death.

For such a good emperor, it is glory to die in battle.

He took a deep breath, pointed forward with the Yanling knife in his hand and shouted, "Open the cannon!" ”

Behind the two four-and-a-half-pound field guns beside him, according to the artillery parameter table, the gunner, who had just finished aiming, quickly put the arquebus pestle of the ignition rod in his hand into the ignition hole, and with the deafening sound of cannonballs, accompanied by the flames sprayed from the muzzle, two shells suddenly flew out, instantly hitting the charging Qing army, and saw several Qing troops being beaten to pieces.

The two gunners from the fallen people of eastern Zhejiang immediately cheered.

At the same time, the other artillery crews reloaded in less than half a minute at the fastest speed.

The cannon roared again.

"Raise the gun!"

Zhu Yiwu looked at the Qing army, which was already less than a hundred feet, and shouted.

The trembling soldiers of the Swing Gang Battalion endured the fear in their hearts, trembling and raising their bayonet guns one after another, and at the same time, the two cannons let out a third round of roars, but at this time, the shots had turned into scattered bullets, and the large lead bullets in tin pails whistled out, instantly hitting the Qing army that was already less than fifty zhang, and the Qing cavalry was like stepping on countless traps, and was immediately beaten to the ground.

Looking at this scene, the soldiers of the Dangkou Brigade felt a lot calmer.

Just as the artillery began to reload the shotguns, all the soldiers began to take aim at the battalion commander's command.

"Fire!"

Zhu Yiwu pointed forward with the Yanling knife in his hand and roared angrily.
