838 Liancheng

[Today's chapter is presented, please subscribe!!] 】

Bang bang bang!

The musketeers of the White Dragon Army, who were chasing after the three thousand Tartars, opened fire one after another.

"Ahh

There were constantly screams from the Tartar soldiers, who were shot and fell, but they were still desperately fleeing in the direction of Liancheng.

Although the Tartars also used the bows and arrows in their hands to launch a counterattack against the soldiers of the White Dragon Army who were chasing behind, the killing effect was far less effective than the flintlock pistols of the White Dragon Army musketeers.

"General, look!"

And at this time, Qin Hu also pointed in the direction of Liancheng and shouted at Wu Beiwang.

Because at this time, Liancheng had already appeared in their field of vision, and black smoke was rising from Liancheng, which was obviously caused by the fire.

Moreover, seeing that the smoke had already enveloped the entire city, it was clear that it was not just burning, but more like it had been burning for a long time.

Wu Bei looked at Liancheng in smoke, and knew without thinking that Liancheng had been captured by the Tartars.

At this moment, his eyes were split, and he roared sharply: "Kill Lao Tzu, don't let go of a single Tartar." ”

"What's going on? Why has Liancheng been captured by the Tartars?

Could it be that what appeared in our rear this time was not just the Tartar that attacked Nanguan City.

They even have a way to touch Liancheng, it's really damn it!

As for Leng Feng, his intelligence department didn't even have any news in advance.

Liancheng fell, if this was known by Hou Ye, everyone in our entire Zhenliao Legion would be sinners! ”

At this moment, Wu Beiwang, Qin Hu, Chu Feng and other White Dragon Army generals also had a panic in their hearts, in addition to anger.

As Wu Beiwang said, this time the Tartars suddenly gave them a black tiger heart, first Nanguancheng, and now Liancheng.

This is already a serious dereliction of duty on the part of their Zhenliao legion, coupled with the fact that the Tartars were extremely brutal this time, they actually slaughtered and burned the city.

Even if only Nanguan City and Liancheng were defeated by the Tartars, the losses would be incalculable.

This responsibility, let alone them, even Zhou Dazhu and Liu Chong can't afford it.

"If we can't destroy these two Tartars this time, let's go back and wait for the execution ground."

Wu Beiwang said coldly, making the surrounding White Dragon Army generals also feel the seriousness of the matter.

Next, needless to say, the soldiers of the White Dragon Army, who were so stimulated, chased and killed the Tartars even more frantically.

The generals of the White Dragon Army personally took the lead, and in just a few miles of road, thousands of Tartars were left here, so that the rest of the Tartars fled into Liancheng.

At this time, Liancheng was already like Nanguan City, with corpses all over the field, and the Tartar massacre was nearing the end.

Dordort had captured the city yesterday evening, and the slaughter continued this morning.

Of the more than 120,000 people in the city, most of them have been slaughtered by the Tartars so far, and the few survivors are hiding in the city.

Duoduo not only annihilated a small number of defenders of Liancheng and slaughtered the entire city, but also captured a large amount of military rations stored in Liancheng by the White Dragon Army.

and a complete armory, as well as up to a dozen ships in the harbor of Liancheng.

In the armory of Liancheng, there were a thousand intact flintlock pistols, all of which had been captured by Dordor at this time, and this coke had broken Dordor .

It's just that a piece of news also made the excited Duoduo angry.

It turned out that in the armory next to it, there were still a lot of ammunition and iron-clad mines stored.

As a result, one of the city defense sergeants desperately ignited the gunpowder before they could kill them, detonating most of the iron-clad mines and ammunition.

In the end, they only got less than five boxes of five thousand buckshots, and how could Duoduo be happy when he heard such news.

Without lead bullet, a thousand flintlock pistols would be better than burning sticks.

Originally, in Liancheng Port, there were still three old warships of the White Dragon Army.

Fortunately, the small number of officers and men of the White Dragon Army who remained in the city at this time were always on duty and did not have a holiday.

When a sailor spotted the Tartars entering the city, he hurried to the harbor to report.

Only then did these three White Dragon Army warships go to sea in time and were not captured by the Tartars.

The three White Dragon Army warships that went to sea also immediately contacted more than a dozen warships in the north who were responsible for blocking the sea, and were returning together, preparing to blockade Liancheng Port.

Thundered!

When Wu Beiwang led the White Dragon Army and horses to chase a few miles outside Liancheng, he was bombarded by artillery on the walls of Liancheng.

"Damn it!"

At that time, Wu Beiwang was angry.

The artillery was theirs, but now it was being used by the Tartars to bombard them.

When Liancheng was originally built, Li Zixiao invested heavily in its city defense, and there were three forts in Liancheng alone, with more than 30 artillery pieces.

Fortunately, when these batteries were originally built, they were mainly aimed at attacking from the sea, and did not target the land direction behind.

Therefore, at this time, Wubeiwang was only bombarded by several small-caliber guns on the city wall of Liancheng, not by the large-caliber artillery of the three forts.

Those large-caliber guns were all used to deal with incoming warships at sea, and they were all large-caliber guns of more than sixty-four pounds.

If this cannon is smashed down, the soldiers within seven or eight meters of the bomb explosion will either be killed or injured.

It was precisely because of the existence of these forts in the city that the dozen or so White Dragon Army warships that rushed back later could only block the sea outside Liancheng Port and did not dare to attack.

Due to the bombardment of the artillery on the city wall of Liancheng, the pursuit of the soldiers of the White Dragon Army was delayed, so that the last less than 2,000 remnant Tartars successfully escaped into Liancheng and closed the city gate.

"Command, attack the city immediately."

After Wu Beiwang saw the gate of Liancheng closed, he had a cold face and gave an order without hesitation.

"General, the artillery in the city has been mastered by the Tartars, and our artillery team has not caught up yet, so it is not appropriate to attack it now!"

But Qin Hu stood up and stopped.

"General, what General Qin said is right, don't let the soldiers attack the city for the time being, and surround the city first.

Send someone to inform the artillery team behind and tell them to hurry up.

You know, although the walls of Liancheng are not high, there are artillery in the city, and we have an armory with a thousand flintlock pistols.

At this time, I am afraid that it has fallen into the hands of the Tartars, and if we rashly attack the city, the soldiers will suffer a lot of losses.

We can mobilize the men and horses now, but only our two battalions, once our two battalions lose too much, we will not be able to help these Tartars at that time.

Now, we just need to surround these Tartars in Liancheng, so that they cannot come out and continue to plague the people, and wait for more reinforcements to arrive, and then we can annihilate them in one fell swoop. ”

At this time, even Chu Feng next to him stood up and agreed with Qin Hu's proposal.

"However, don't forget, there are still more than 120,000 people in the city at this time, and if we delay outside the city for a long time, they will probably all be poisoned by the Tartars."

Wu Beiwang yelled at the two, making the two of them dull for a while.

After a while, Qin Hu raised his head and plucked up his courage to say, "General, even if we attack now, I'm afraid it's already over."

This Tartar army obviously captured Liancheng last night, and look at the blood on the other side of the city gate, it has already coagulated.

The night and morning passed, and most of the people in the city were probably already in trouble.

Even if there are still living people in the city now, I'm afraid there are very few of them, and for the sake of those few people, it is not worth it to let our soldiers take the risk.

I implore the general to think twice, don't lose a big one because of a small one! ”

Qin Hu knelt down and pleaded.

"Hey, give an order to the soldiers, surround Liancheng and suspend the attack."

"Yes. Checkmate. ”

In the end, Wu Beiwang sighed and agreed to Qin Hu's proposal.

In his heart, in fact, Wu Beiwang knew that what Qin Hu said was right, but this sense of powerlessness made him feel like a thorn in his heart.

"Tartars in the city, you have waited.

No matter how many of you come, don't think about leaving, don't break your bones and scatter ashes, I Wubei will not be a person. ”

Looking at the city with fires burning everywhere and smoke surrounding, Wu Beiwang swore an oath.

"What? Even the city was captured by the Tartars? How so.

The Tartars slaughtered the city, they dared to slaughter the city! ”

Soon, Zhou Dazhu, who was in Golden State, also got the news, which made him stumble and almost fall down.

Compared with Nanguan City, Liancheng is much more important.

The fall of Liancheng made Zhou Dazhu realize that there was a serious mistake in his deployment this time, which caused the current situation.

What made Zhou Dazhu even more shocked was that the Tartars went crazy this time and slaughtered the city.

This kind of guilt is no longer something he can afford alone.

"Send an order to Wu Beiwang, tell him that reinforcements will arrive soon, and let him surround the Tartar men and horses, and no one will be allowed to leave.

Otherwise, this time, we will all have to walk around without eating.

The order was sent to Sun Jiangu, asking him to lead 10,000 horses and withdraw from the Great Black Mountain to support Wubeiwang. ”

After a brief period of panic and anger, Zhou Dazhu quickly gave the order.

"General, don't!" But there was opposition.

"General, the 20,000 horses led by General Sun Jiangu are stationed in the Great and Small Black Mountains, which is our biggest barrier in the north.

In the past two days, the battle of Hongzui Fort has been stalemate, and I am afraid that Hongzui Fort will not be able to hold it for long.

At that time, we will all be counting on the fortress groups of the Great and Small Black Mountains, and if you transfer half of the men back from the Great Black Mountain now.

In the event that the defense lines of the Great and Small Montenegro are lost, the problem will be even greater. ”

There is a general of the White Dragon Army, who said eagerly.

"So what do you say?

According to the news sent back by Wu Beiwang, there are more than 10,000 people who have infiltrated our rear this time.

He also let the Tartars capture Liancheng, with artillery and a thousand flintlock guns in their hands, and the men and horses in Wu Beiwang's hands alone were not enough to annihilate them.

Do you still want to watch these Tartars and continue to slaughter the city, and when the time comes, Master Hou will investigate it, and we will all have no good fruit to eat.

Therefore, none of these Tartars who have infiltrated the rear can let them escape, and this is our only chance to make meritorious contributions.

The defense of the northern and large black mountains is also important, and this will also be known.

However, you tell the general that there is still a quick way to transfer troops from there? ”

Zhou Dazhu walked back and forth anxiously, and asked his subordinate generals.

"General, there are soldiers in Dengzhou, and Master Hou still has 5,000 troops stationed in Dengzhou, so you can transfer them over to support!"

Suddenly, someone shouted.

"yes, I almost forgot."

Zhou Dazhu was also reminded by his subordinates, suddenly remembered, and shouted excitedly.

"Immediately send people to Lushun, and let Li Shenglang send people to cross the sea to Dengzhou to transfer troops.

In addition, let Sun Jiangu transfer back 5,000 people from the Great Black Mountain, so that the defense of the Great Black Mountain should not have too serious a serious impact.

This time, we must destroy all of these Tartars that have sneaked behind us.

In this way, after the war, when he asked the Hou Ye for his guilt, he would still have a chance to be forgiven. ”

"General, do you want to send someone to inform Master Hou of this news?"

"Of course you have to send it, Master Hou will know sooner or later.

But before the Hou Ye sent someone to blame him, he was going to see the heads of these Tartars. ”

Zhou Dazhu said coldly.

He knew that this time these Tartars had successfully infiltrated the rear of Jinzhou, although until now Zhou Dazhu had not figured out how these Tartars came over.

But Zhou Dazhu already had some guesses, and most of the mistakes were still at sea.

But in any case, when Liu Chong returned to Kaifeng, as the supreme commander of Jinzhou, he could not escape the blame for this failure.

Even, let Li Zixiao know that Tartar not only sneaked into the rear of Jinzhou, opened a killing spree, and even slaughtered the city, most of them would severely punish him.

When the time comes, he may not be able to keep his position as the deputy marshal of the Zhenliao Army and the deputy governor of Jinzhou.

Therefore, there will not be a lot of time left for Zhou Dazhu, before the messenger arrives in Kaifeng, and then Li Zixiao's order arrives.

He wants to completely annihilate these Tartars who have infiltrated the rear of Jinzhou and make some amends for his failures.

"General, what are you doing here?"

Next, the generals of the White Dragon Army in Jinzhou saw that Zhou Dazhu was wearing armor that he hadn't worn for a long time.

"This time, Ben is going to lead the army himself.

This may be the last chance for Ben to lead the army, and Ben will use the blood and heads of those Tartars to avenge the thousands of soldiers and 200,000 people who died in Nanguan City and Liancheng. ”

"General, no, you have to sit in Jinzhou."

"The defense of the north of Jinzhou has already been arranged, and Sun Jiangu will be fully responsible, and it is useless for the general to stay or not.

The general has made up his mind, so don't stop you. ”

Zhou Dazhu was iron-hearted this time, and the other White Dragon Army generals couldn't persuade him.

Soon, Zhou Dazhu left Jinzhou City with a team of guards, crossed the canal, and rushed towards Liancheng.

And the military order he issued soon arrived in the Great Black Mountain, and the Great Black Mountain guard Sun Jiangu immediately transferred 5,000 men and horses to gallop to the aid of Liancheng.

"Dog Tartar, I, Zhou Dazhu, will not kill all of you, and I will not be a man."

When Zhou Dazhu arrived at Nanguan City under the protection of a team of guards, he saw the rows of corpses of the people in Nanguan City, and shouted with tears.

At this time, the 500 soldiers of the White Dragon Army left behind by Wu Beiwang were already finding people from other places, and they were disposing of the corpses of more than 80,000 people in Nanguan City.

The corpses were temporarily sorted out by them, and they were placed in rows on the street, looking shocking.

"Let's go, let's go to Liancheng."

Zhou Dazhu didn't stay in the lifeless Nanguan City for too long, so he took people to Liancheng, he was holding back a belly of fire in his heart, waiting to vent!
