"It's a natural danger!"

Yang Feng stood in the hanging basket of the hot air balloon and looked ahead and sighed. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

On the boundless green plain in front of him, three nearly parallel rivers slowly approached the south, and at his feet they rapidly converged into a mighty river, and a little south at this three-way crossing, a pontoon bridge stretched across the river, and on both sides of the pontoon bridge, there was a square castle, standing in the surrounding wetland swamps, and a cannon was faintly visible on the two cities to lock the river, and the only road stretched out from the east gate of the castle on the right, extending to the east, and at the end of the road, a larger castle was looming.

Other than that, it's all green.

Floating in the light of the water, this green keeps going south, even extending to a faint blue.

This is the cattle farm.

At his feet is the Liao River, the Hunhe River, the confluence of the Taizi River Sancha River, that is, the estuary section of the Liao River, the east side of the Sancha River pontoon bridge is the expansion of the Maquanzi City, the west side is the rebuilt Hewan City, and the looming big city in the east of the Maquanzi City is Niuzhuang, these three cities and a bridge are the Niuzhuang fortress prepared for him by Jierharang, in these three castles, a total of 15,000 Qing troops and forty-six cannons are waiting for him, which is all the current strength of the Qing army in southern Liaoning.

No coating, no slaves.

Not a single one.

There are only the genuine Eight Banners Army in the three castles, Zilharang doesn't want to make any more jokes about Gaizhou, this place is too important to him, he doesn't dare to take any risks, so he even gives up the defense of Haizhou and Yaozhou. Yaozhou Station does not have the need to defend, Haizhou's abandonment is very helpless, but if he doesn't give up Haizhou, he can't make up enough Eight Banners Army to guard Niuzhuang, after all, the original coating in the Eight Banners accounts for a large proportion, and after deducting these people, the already small number of troops will be even more stretched. In the end, he could only give up Haizhou and take all his strength to protect Niuzhuang, although this was equivalent to letting the Ming army go straight to Liaoyang, but there were nearly three hundred miles of transportation line from Gaizhou to Liaoyang, this transportation line was close to the mountainous area, and the mountainous area was their hometown, and the Qing army guerrillas attacking from Xiuyan could cut off this line at any time, so Yang Feng would definitely not venture north without opening Niuzhuang.

Only by opening the cattle village and opening the water transportation line of the Taizi River can it be done.

And the cattle village ......

"Your Majesty, it's not easy to fight here!"

Huang Fei beside Yang Feng said.

This place is really not easy to fight, the key is that the surrounding is full of swamps, at this time the coastline is different from modern times, basically in the middle of modern Yingkou and Niuzhuang, that is to say, it has moved at least 20 kilometers to the north, and it is only 20 kilometers away from Niuzhuang. And because this area is all plains, the Liao River floods every year and eventually becomes a large coastal wetland, and the history of Niuzhuang to the end of the Qing Dynasty can be called the Venice of the East! There is only one road connecting the three cities that connects the east and west, which is fortunately a little better in the spring, and even this road cannot be guaranteed in the summer, and some places must take the reserved earthen embankment.

If you want to open Niuzhuang, there is only one way to smash them forward one by one, but these three cities are all in the middle of the swamp wetland, it is really not easy to fight that, don't think about setting up a cannon to smash the city wall, the cannon cannot be pushed forward in the swamp until it is within a thousand meters from the city wall, and if the soldiers carry the ladder forward, they will trek hard in the empty and muddy swamp, and then be calmly hit by the Qing army's cannons.

"How did you lose such a place?"

Yang Feng said speechlessly.

Zilharang's set can be said to be really playful, but compared with the defense system of the Ming army here back then, it can still be said that it is far behind, and there were more than three cities here.

The current Niuzhuang is only the Dongchang Fort of the year, and there is Dongsheng Fort in the north of Dongchang Fort originally, there are Changding, Changning, Changxing Three Fort between Haizhou River and Taizi River, there are pontoon bridges, Maquanzi City also has, Hewan Pucheng also has, Hewan Pucheng is Sancha Pass to the west, Sanchaguan is Xining Fort to the west, Zhenning Fort and Zhenyuan Fort more than ten castles are lined up to Guangning, and there are Xixing Fort in the south of Xining Fort and the famous Xiping Fort and Zhenwu Fort are said to be densely packed with fortresses to guard this vital estuary.

However, in the end, there was only one Xipingbao and Luo Zheng.

"The ministers are ungrateful to the gods!"

Huang Fei lowered his head and said.

He is actually the nephew of Huang Long who committed suicide in the defeat of Lushun, Huang Long himself is from Liaodong, and he also participated in the Battle of Guangning, but it is estimated that he is a small soldier or something.

"Alas, go down!"

Yang Feng sighed and said.

Huang Fei hurriedly waved the small flag downward, and on a large battleship below, the soldiers immediately turned the winch and slowly dragged the hot air balloon down.

"Your Majesty, how should I fight?"

Huang Fei asked.

"What's so hard about that? Zilharang wants to rely on this cow farm to stop me, it's a joke! ”

Yang Feng sneered.

As he said this, on the western horizon, a long dragon of countless soldiers was slowly approaching.

Tang Yu arrived.

Arrived with Tang Yu and the main force of the 30,000 Ming Army, as well as ......

Kamui is invincible and cannon.

Is it hard to fight?

Then the spherical flowering with a diameter of half a meter is ready.

"I love this!"

Early the next morning, when the morning sun rose in the sky, Yang Feng stood beside a mighty invincible general cannon and said reservedly.

On both sides of this cannon, there are two identical cannons, Yang Feng actually cast a total of ten Shenwei Invincible General Cannons, five of which were transported here, and the other five were sent to support Wu Sangui. At this time, in front of these five giant cannons, those artillerymen were using their booms to lift five huge cannonballs from the shell transport truck, pig iron balls with a diameter of half a meter, the wall thickness reached five centimeters, and a full seventy catties of black powder mixed with aluminum powder were stuffed inside.

At least five miles ahead, where the five cannons pointed, was the Qing army's river bay city, floating like a small boat in the vast wetland.

It is said that the accuracy of the Shenwei Invincible General Cannon is indeed not high, and it is almost impossible to accurately hit any target at a distance of 2,500 meters, but it depends on how big the target is, if the area of this target reaches hundreds of thousands of square meters, then there is nothing to worry about, especially in the case of using flowering shells, saying that the power of such a cannonball is almost comparable to a modern heavy artillery shell, he does not believe that the civil engineering buildings of this era can withstand the blow of this thing.

Zilharang's naïve fantasy was no match for Emperor Yang's furious sledgehammer after all.

"Your Majesty, please move."

Cao Youyi said.

"What? Don't say this thing can blow up! ”

His Majesty the Emperor, who was about to light the fire rod and come in person, was stunned.

"Your Majesty, this kind of dirty work should be handed over to the soldiers!"

Cao Youyi said.

But the look on his face told Yang Feng that it was obviously not because of this reason.

This is really capable of exploding, not that the cannon can't be done, the bronze used by the Shenwei Invincible General Cannon is made of modern refined copper and tin in the best proportion, and the rotten goods of the Urban cannon are not the same grade, but it is very dangerous for the cannon to fire cast iron flowering shells, even if the propellant is cut, and the shell of the thickened shell still has the danger of the shell being broken in the barrel at the moment of firing, and then the gunpowder inside is detonated and the cannon is shattered.

The Ming army had already blown up a door during the Jinzhou test, but this kind of trivial matter should not disturb the emperor, so it was not reported to him.

Well, they've actually started to deceive them.

This is not surprising, these Ming generals are almost instinctive to deceive their superiors and subordinates.

After understanding this, Yang Feng instantly dispelled the idea of a shot, and hurriedly retreated with Cao Youyi, the power of this thing to blow up the chamber is huge, and it is not difficult to blow him to pieces, saying that he does not have the ability to grow other parts like raw bean sprouts with a head left, His Majesty the Emperor has been retreating until fifty meters away before stopping, and then Cao Youyi beside him signaled to the herald, who immediately waved the command flag, and then the gunner in front simultaneously put the arquebus pestle of the ignition rod into the ignition hole.

The earth-shattering sound of artillery suddenly rang out.

On the city of Hewanpu is the red flag Baya Lama Zhangjing Ka Dahun, looking at this scene in the distance in horror, the five cannons suddenly spew out spectacular flames like mythical monsters, and then in the blue and green background, five faintly visible fires appeared in his field of vision, and climbed up firmly at a speed that was not too fast, and soon a faint whistling sound came into his ears, as if they were five little monsters who were laughing, approaching quickly with the oppression of death.

Almost at the same time, the five flames climbed to the top and suddenly fell.

The next moment, he could even see with the naked eye five black balls as big as a crush, dragging their small tails like gunpowder fireworks to rush over his head, and instantly smashed into the castle behind him, the most recent one less than ten feet away from him, like a meteorite smashing a house and disappearing into the dust.

"This Dog Emperor!"

Originally, in history, he followed Azig all the way to chase Li Zicheng to Jiugong Mountain, and then followed Azig to slaughter the Qing army in Sichuan. Kadahun said sadly.

Almost at the same time, as if tearing through space, a flaming monster from the ruins of that house**, instantly with countless debris and spread the shock wave to all sides, before he could react, the furious wave of dust and rubble crashed into him, and in the frightened scream, Kadahun's strong body flew out upside down and fell towards the city wall.

At this time, four other terrifying fireballs continued to explode in the castle one after another.
