Chapter 101 The Loyal Soul Guards Liaodong Day and Night

With the destruction of the Qing army's artillery, the attacking Ming army immediately grasped the absolute advantage, and even dragged the 20-pound mortar directly to more than 100 meters outside the city, and then bombarded the defenders on the city wall at a large angle with scattered bullets.

Soon the passage on the moat was filled.

When the first Ming soldier showed his head on the city wall, and took the burning bottle of his companion behind him, and smashed it in the middle of the Qing army that blocked it, the outcome of the battle was no longer in suspense. As the breakthrough opened, a large number of Ming troops continued to pour in, under the protection of the shield wall, a black powder grenade and burning shao bottles were constantly thrown out, the Qing army continued to retreat in the flames and explosions, and then the width of the breakthrough became larger and larger, and soon a group of Ming soldiers relied on grenades to resist the blocking Qing army rushed down the city wall and attacked from the city to the city gate.

And at this time, the first mortar was also dragged up the city wall by those soldiers.

When this thing is placed on the city wall, then the Qing army can be said to have no hope, after the twenty-pound mortar cannon loaded with scattered shells is flattened, it is like a broom sweeping the recalcitrant Qing army on the city wall, and then more Ming troops climbed up the ladder, and it didn't take long for the city wall to be full of Ming troops. At this time, after a bloody battle, the Ming army in the city finally controlled the area around the city gate, and then cleared the blocked city gate hole as quickly as possible, and opened the closed city gate to let the Ming army outside pour in.

In this way, the city of Hewanpu was breached.

Of course, the fight has to go on.

The 3,000 Qing troops guarding this castle had already made up their minds to die, and they would not give up because the city wall was breached, on the city wall, in the ruins of the city, the soldiers on both sides fought fiercely, and fought to the death in this small castle, in fact, the battle in the city lasted until dark.

The 3,000 Qing army was completely annihilated.

The next morning.

"Slash!"

Next to the soil foundation of an ancient city in the southwest of the battlefield, with Cao Youyi's order, the broadswords in the hands of fifty sword and axe men were cut off at the same time, and fifty human heads were cut off in an instant.

"Next batch!"

Cao Youyi shouted.

Immediately afterwards, a second group of fifty wounded and captured Qing soldiers were also dragged over, and then pressed to the ground, and their heads were cut off in the same way at his command.

Next to the execution ground, there was a separate wooden shelf, on which a young Qing army officer was tied, and an executioner was taking his assistant to cut the flesh from him with a knife, and the latter was constantly wailing and watching as his flesh was cut off piece by piece and thrown to the wild dogs. But the executioner is obviously experienced, although he has been cut to blood, but it is not fatal, and he can't die in a few hours after looking at the posture, in fact, Ling Chi This kind of thing, if the technique is good, it is very common to cut for a day without dying.

At this time, it was a celebrity who was being tortured.

This is Sun Degong's second son, Sun Sike, one of the four generals of Hexi in the Kang Mazi era in history, originally he did not join the Qing army at this time because of his age, but after the expansion of the army, as the reserve force of the Zhengbai Banner Han Army, he naturally joined the battle. Then he was also sent to the forefront by Zilharang, who was also a soldier officer with a white flag, and after being wounded and captured, the former clothed minions who followed the Ming army immediately recognized him.

Yang Feng also brought a lot of Gaizhou's coats anyway, just to screen the generals in the Qing army.

Then Lord Wei's good brother was unlucky.

The emperor has just issued an order, once the Sun Degong clan is captured, they will all be Ling Chi, so he will become the first, pity Sun Sike at this time, all he can do is to curse his dead father, and beg the executioner to give him a good time.

Of course, the executioner would not be relenting.

Tens of thousands of Ming army souls who died in battle because of his father's betrayal are waiting!

And not far from Sun Sike, who was chopping, in front of an offering table, Yang Feng, who was wearing a dragon robe, with dozens of Ming army generals, was solemnly worshipping the three thousand defenders who died in battle with Luo Yi and Xiping Fort on the offering table.

After twenty-three years of waiting, these loyal souls can finally look at each other.

"May your loyal soul guard Liaodong day and night."

Yang Feng stepped forward, spilled the wine in the cup on the ground and said.

In a stunned gaze, he took a step back, knelt down as emperor, and bowed to the ground.

There was a sound of kneeling and worship all around.

"Get up, I should kneel to them, all the loyal souls who died defending the country are worthy of my bow!"

Yang Feng stood up and let out a long breath and said.

At this time, the heads of the last group of Qing troops were also cut off, together with those killed in the battle, nearly 3,000 heads piled up a hill on the ruins of Xiping Fort, which was a sacrifice to Luo Consistent and the loyal soul of the three thousand defenders, 23 years ago with the end of the Battle of Xipingbao Luo Consistent committed suicide and martyrdom, the Ming Dynasty completely lost Liaodong, although it was then stalemate in the Ningjin area for more than 20 years, but that was only to defend the pass, 23 years later today Yang Feng also used 3,000 heads of the Qing army, announced that the Ming Dynasty re-entered Liaodong.

Of course, he still has a long way to go.

"Message, start attacking!"

He said.

Immediately after that, a flag bearer not far from him waved the signal flag, and in the distant sky, the soldiers in the hot air balloon basket repeated the same action, and on a Ming warship in the Liao River more than ten miles away, an observer holding a telescope quickly interpreted this set of flags compiled by the emperor himself.

"General, Holy Decree, start attacking!"

He said to Zhang Mingzhen.

"The fleet is advancing, and all the cannons are aimed at the city of the horse circle!"

Zhang Mingzhen pulled out the Yanling knife and shouted.

Soon dozens of large warships anchored on the river raised their sails, driven by the southeast wind behind the side, and slowly went up the deepest channel in the center of the Liao River, on the decks of all the battleships, those gunners were loading ammunition for more than a hundred cannons of various tonnages on the starboard side, and then began to aim at the castle in the distance, when the latter entered a distance of less than two miles, with Zhang Mingzhen's order, all the cannons instantly let out a roar, and in the flames sprayed from the muzzles, one by one solid bullets flew towards Maquanzi City.

But almost at the same time, a series of fires shone on the city of Maquanzi, and the shells of the counterattack immediately hit the Ming army.

"Our warships are still not good!"

Yang Feng, who had returned to Hewanpu City, stood on the city wall and watched this scene and said.

Even if these battleships are the largest warships selected from the Ming army's naval divisions, and are equipped with as many cannons as possible according to their maximum bearing capacity, these warships are at best only at the level of European armed merchant ships, and even inferior to those armed merchant ships, the largest Daifuku ship only carries a total of twenty guns, and only six are eighteen pounds, and the rest is at most nine pounds, and there are even no more than ten guns on other warships, and the vast majority of artillery hovers around ten pounds, There were only forty real eighteen-pounder guns.

And this is already the real main force of the Daming Water Division.

This fleet not only includes the warships of King Qinwang from Jiangsu, Zhejiang, but also includes the Denglai Naval Division and two Fujian ships, which can actually be said to be the essence of the naval divisions from all over the Ming Dynasty.

But it's a pity that it's still far from what Yang Feng expected.

This kind of strength is not to mention against the European navy, even if all the warships of the Dutch East India Company are assembled, they can also run rampant on the Daming coast.

Fortunately, they did not need to face this kind of opponent, their enemy at this time was only twenty cannons on the city of Maquanzi, relying on the numerical superiority and the bore processed by the boring machine, in addition to the simple adjustment of the observer on the hot air balloon, Zhang Mingzhen's fleet and the Qing army fought back and forth in artillery battles.

Of course, this is not a real offensive force.

In the course of the artillery battle between the two sides, countless small boats assembled on the west bank full of soldiers began to force the Liao River, in the water column hit by the falling shells, all the soldiers desperately rowed their oars, these sampans from the sailors quickly approached the position of the original pontoon bridge head facing the river bay Pucheng, and soon the first sampan rushed to the opposite bank.

But they were greeted by shells fired from cannons less than a mile away.

In the mud stirred up by the shells, the Ming soldiers shouted and landed on the shore, and then more and more sampans landed on the shore, and more and more soldiers stepped on the land on the east bank,

At the same time, the gates of Maquanzi City opened, and a large group of Qing cavalry poured out from inside.

The Ming troops who landed on the shore began to form formations.

Yang Feng in the rear stared at the landing site.

The first batch of landings are the most elite of the Ming army, many veterans have followed him from Ningyuan to kill, they also began to switch to the Spanish phalanx tactics, in the hands of these soldiers is a frighteningly long spear, although there are constantly cannonballs on the opposite side between them, but the cannonballs of this era are nothing to fear as long as they are strong-willed, not to mention that there are naval guns suppressing, and it is the cavalry of the Qing army that really poses a mortal threat to them.

Fortunately, those naval guns can also deal with them.

Just when the Qing cavalry went out of the city to form a formation and prepared to launch a counterattack on the landing Ming army, in Zhang Mingzhen's fleet on the Liao River, those small-caliber artillery pieces were immediately aimed at the Qing cavalry, and then the dense shells flew over, although the naval guns had little accuracy, but within less than a kilometer, a large part of the shells still fell in the Qing cavalry, and they were instantly shattered.

But this also did not stop the Qing cavalry.

Soon, Niu Lu, who was the first to assemble, did not hesitate to charge towards the landing Ming army.

And the first group of Ming troops to assemble also stretched out a terrifying Zhangba spear in front of them, and in the jungle of spears, there were birds aiming ahead.

"Fire!"

On the city wall of the river bend behind them, Yang Feng said lightly.

Forty mortar cannons lined up on either side of him roared into the sky at the same time.
