Shulk, who only became strong in the seventh year of Shunzhi, was a young man who grew up after Manchukuo entered the customs, and if it weren't for the heavy losses of the Manchurian Eight Banners in the south, he would not have become an assistant leader. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Compared with the Manchurian Eight Banners before the Qing army entered the customs, the new generation of bannermen after entering the customs is obviously not comparable with their fathers and ancestors, especially the Manchurian soldiers who have experienced a heavy defeat, and they are already afraid of the Taiping army in their bones.

Take the 400 Manchurian soldiers under Shulk as an example, most of them fled from Yangzhou, and in the eyes of the Koreans, they are still invincible Manchurian soldiers, but in fact, their will to fight is far inferior to those green battalion soldiers, and even inferior to the Koreans. This is just like the border army of the Ming Dynasty back then, fearing Manchukuo like a tiger, but convincing the Liukou like a tiger.

Shulk could see that the Taiping army was mixed in with the chaos, and the Manchurian soldiers could also see that the medicine bag could not be more familiar to them. At this moment, the Manchurian people can really be said to be discolored.

Shulk wanted to flee from Weixian at once, but he didn't dare, because Belletuntai couldn't spare him. Eventually, Schulke dismissed the idea of escaping, at least, he couldn't run now. There are also more than 7,000 defenders in Wei County, which is too embarrassing if the enemy flees in fear before the enemy army has even attacked the city.

.....

Wei County has four city walls, and after discussing with Yu Qi, Wei Dalong concentrated all his forces to attack the east gate only, vowing to succeed in one blow.

The Korean shotgun operators in the city were ordered by the officers to check the arquebuses and ammunition over and over again, and because they were so frightened that some of the young Korean soldiers even loaded too much gunpowder, and if they were not reminded by their companions, they would probably have injured themselves when they were fired.

The Manchurians had already demanded through Han Juyuan that the Koreans must defend to the end, and all Shen Liu could do now was obey orders. Other than that, he had no choice because he had no way to retreat.

Park Zhengtai's death made Shen Liu realize that he was too careless before, he didn't expect the rebels to have such powerful firearms, but fortunately, the other party didn't seem to bring much, and there was no artillery, which made the North Koreans feel at ease and boldly rely on the protection of the Weixian city wall to give full play to the power of the shotgun.

"The enemy is coming!"

With the shouts of the Korean soldiers, the rebels under the city finally moved.

Seeing that the chaotic people in front of him were lined up neatly, and everyone had a firecracker, Shen Liu's brows furrowed, and the tip of his nose was also full of sweat on the tip of his visitor's Jin Daquan.

Jin Daquan saw that there were hundreds of people behind the Qing rebel team carrying thick logs, but there were no climbing equipment such as ladders, so he couldn't help but guess: "General Shen, are the Qing people trying to break open our city gates?" ”

Just from the posture of the other party, it seems that Jin Daquan said it, and Shen Liu can't see the intentions of more Qing Chaos. He knew that Jin Daquan was a close confidant of the king and had never been to the battlefield, so he was ready to let him and his nephew Shentong go down to the city, so as not to make any mistakes in the city, after all, there were also a large number of guns in the ranks of the rebellious people of the Qing Kingdom. When the fight starts, the gun has no eyes, and no one knows who the gun will hit.

Just as he was about to speak, he heard the sound of shouting from the ranks of the rebels under the city, followed by the sound of "bang" firecrackers.

The Marine Corps of the Sailor Division took the lead in firing guns, and rows of guns were fired towards the head of Weixian County. The North Koreans in the city also reacted quickly and condescendingly slammed at the city. The guns used by both sides were arquebuses, and the firing distance was about the same, but the Koreans had the upper hand in the shooting because of the cover of the city walls and their condescension. But the results were also limited, because the place where the Marines stopped happened to be the critical point of the range of the firearms. Going forward, the probability of a mid-gun increases; In the future, his own guns will not hit the target.

Unlike the Koreans in the city, who wanted to kill and wound as many enemies as possible, Wei Dalong only wanted to suppress the firearms in the city as much as possible, rather than shoot the defenders.

It was there that the two sides engaged in firing fire.

It's just that the Koreans didn't expect that when they were busy loading gunpowder, the guns of the Qing rebellious people under the city never stopped roaring. Round after round, the sound of the gun never stopped like fried beans.

"Put!"

"Put!"

Under the orders of the officers, the gunners of the fourth and fifth columns continued to fire their guns at the head of the city, while the gunners of the first, second and third columns in front of them squatted on the spot and quickly charged.

The height of the wall is less than five meters, and as long as the guns of the Marine Division raise the mouth slightly, even if they can't hit anyone, they can form a fire suppression on the Korean bird guns at the head of the city. The dense firecrackers hit the North Korean soldiers on the head of the city did not dare to come out, hiding behind the city wall and being nervous, although the guns of the Qing people did not kill many people, but the roar produced by the non-stop shooting was enough to make the Koreans feel frightened.

The enemy's firearms made Shen Liu realize that they were not a rebel, but a well-trained army, even stronger than the border army of the Ming Dynasty back then.

The Manchurians and the soldiers of the Shandong Green Battalion squatted behind the battlements with their ears covered, and the chaotic people outside did not seem to have the slightest intention of climbing the city, which made the Manchurian soldiers and the Green Battalion a little weak. After all, only the Koreans in the city had firearms, and they still used broadswords and spears. The Manchurian soldiers were not reconciled, and used a big bow to release arrows to the city, but the distance was a little far, and the effect was not good.

Wei Dalong was not in a hurry to order the demolition team to go up, so he ordered the gunners to shoot at the city. After the firing of the guns on both sides, the smoke became thicker and thicker, which not only choked people, but also made people difficult to see.

Shen Liu cautiously poked his head out, and found that the enemy army had advanced more than a zhang, and those gunners were moving neatly, alternating one team after another, and always maintained a column of gunners who could shoot at the head of the city.

Shen Liu realized that this would not work, because he had far more shotgunners than the enemy, but because they were scattered on the four walls of Weixian, the shotgunners gathered here could not form a numerical advantage over the enemy's gunners.

He wanted to ask the Manchurians for permission to transfer some of the other three shotgunners, but then he saw that the Manchurian assistant leader suddenly turned around and ran back like a demon. The rest of the Manchurians were also shouting, but none of them stayed where they were, but ran down the city.

Shen Liu was taken aback, and before he could react, a "whoosh" sound sounded in mid-air.

Four of the six unconscionable launchers carried by the Marines were lost in the river, and the remaining two had been quietly lifted to the front when the two sides fired firearms, and they were quickly dug and fixed.

After ordering the blasting team to prepare, Wei Dalong gave the order to launch without conscience. One of the two large medicine packs exploded in mid-air a few meters from the city wall, and the other fell on the city and exploded.

In the explosion, more than a dozen North Korean soldiers flew down from the city, and dozens of others were standing, falling, or kneeling, all lifeless.

The strong intimidation and lethal effect without conscience made the Qing army and the Korean soldiers in the city mixed, and Wei Dalong lost no time in ordering the demolition team to rush to the city gate.

"Stop them, stop them!"

Shin Ji screamed as he covered his bloody nose. He saw the enemy soldiers approaching the walls with their medicine bags.

"General Shen, the Manchurians have run away!"

Jin Daquan didn't care about going outside the city, because he found that the Manchurians had run away, and now there were only Korean soldiers left in the city to resist.

"Lord Han, did the Manchurians run away!"

Shen Liu realized that things were not good, if even the Manchurians had run away, then how could they hold the city with their Koreans alone.

"I.... This..."

Han Juyuan didn't know what was going on, and instinctively told him that Shulk was likely to run away, but he really couldn't believe that the dignified Manchurian Association would do such a thing.

"Alas!"

Seeing that Han Juyuan couldn't say anything, Shen Liu was so angry that he stomped his feet, and found that a few enemy soldiers with gunpowder bags he had just seen disappeared outside the city wall, and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, pulled over a million households, and asked him to immediately lead the troops to the city gate, and be sure to guard the city gate.

Although Na Wanhu didn't know why Marquis Yu asked him to lead his troops to the city gate, he also knew that the situation was urgent, so he hurriedly led a team of soldiers to the city gate.

Shen Liu ignored the lead flying at the head of the city, picked up a fire gun from the ground and lit it at the enemy below, and with a "bang", a small flag officer of the Marine Corps fell to the ground in pain holding his stomach, and kept rolling.

It was too late, and the Demoman, with a red armband on his arm, managed to break through to the city gate, placed three packs of medicine under the city, lit the fire rope, and quickly retreated to the walls on both sides. With a "boom", the city gate was blown open.

"Rush!"

Yu Qi raised his sword and led his troops to rush towards the city.

Shuerke, the Manchurian co-leader who fled from the city, also heard the explosion from the city gate, he was stunned for a moment, pulled Ma Wende, the prefect of Qingzhou beside him, and said urgently: "Taiping Kou has a big Northern Expedition, you and I will go with you to see Lord Belle!" ”

Ma Wende had wanted to run away for a long time, and he also knew that the purpose of Shuerke running away with him was to help him speak, after all, he was the prefect of Qingzhou, and with his proof, even if Lord Belle would blame him, he would not lose his head because of Shuerke. As for their run, no one cares about what will happen to the North Koreans in the city.

Shulk really wanted to go to Dorobelle Tuntaina to report the news, and the information on the appearance of the Taiping Kou in Shandong was much more important than the loss of Weixian and the destruction of thousands of Koreans. This information is too important to be reported to the imperial court immediately, otherwise, the Qing Dynasty will suffer a big loss.

As soon as the Manchurians ran, Zhou Tian, the general of the Shandong Green Battalion, was not far behind, and led his subordinates to whip the Koreans defending the city to the side, and then ran to Qingzhou without looking back.

In the city of Weixian, now the North Korean soldiers are resisting stubbornly, and the supervising army Han Juyuan is also stubborn, and he did not leave the Koreans to flee for his life alone, which makes Shen Liu, who feels abandoned by the Qing State, feel a little comforted in his heart.

It's just that seeing the elite soldiers he brought from the country being dispersed by the enemy army all over the city and wiped out one by one, Shen Liu's heart couldn't hurt anymore. Now he just wants to leave Weixian alive, and then return to China, and tell the king what happened here, and North Korea can no longer bury the soldiers for the treacherous and cowardly Qing people.

The battle in the city continued, and the chaos continued, Shen Liu took Han Juyuan and his nephew Shen Tong and Cha Jin Dazhong to break through to the north, wanting to join forces with the Korean army there, but there were too many enemy troops rushing into the city, and their own soldiers now have no intention of fighting, and the rout is inevitable, depending on how many people can escape.

When he fled to an alley in the middle of the city, he heard people shouting in Korean all around: "His Royal Highness the King of Qi of the Ming Dynasty told the soldiers of the Korean State that the two countries were originally vassal domains, and the Ming Dynasty had the grace to rebuild and save the country. If you lay down your arms today, Da Ming Rao and the rest of your life, regardless of the past, will send you and the others back to China! ”
