Zu Yan was bandaged on his head, sitting sluggishly in the last fort, compared to the difficulty of going up the mountain, the top of the mountain was much smoother, the mountain road was lost, the Dingzhou Marine Division Marine Corps was paying a huge price, with nearly 3,000 casualties, including 20 of the 30 artillerymen, and finally attacked the top of the mountain, and the casualty rate of more than 1 to 1 was also the most tragic battle of the Dingzhou Army over the years. From the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain, every step of the steps was slippery, not because of the rain, not because of the mud, but because of the top of the steps, there was blood, layer by layer, converging into a stream, dripping down The heavy casualties made Zheng Zhiqiang's eyes red, and also made all the marines of the Sailors red-eyed, along the way, not a single enemy wounded soldier was left in the fortifications conquered, regardless of whether the opponent surrendered or not, Unifying the sword to kill Zu Yan numbly watched as the Dingzhou soldiers moved their big killer Shenwei cannon step by step to the top of the mountain, on the steep mountain road, the opponent's cannon could not play a role, but on the top of the mountain, he no longer had a geographical advantage, when the opponent's cannon began to roar, when was the Qingtan Fortress completely lost. He no longer had the strength to organize a counterattack, and at this time, the soldiers around him were no longer a single officer above the rank of lieutenant, and all of these officers had been killed in the battles of these days, and his lieutenant general, the lieutenant officer, was killed in the gunpowder crossbow bolts fired by the opponent with a crossbow yesterday. Almost none of the hundreds of soldiers in the village were intact, and at this time, looking at Zu Yan, his eyes were full of despair.

The Dingzhou soldiers slaughtered all the wounded soldiers and opponents who gave up resistance along the way, so that they also had no intention of surrendering, and sat quietly in the fortress, waiting for the final moment to come.

The loss of Qingtan will inevitably lead to the defeat of the entire Bozhou theater, once the Dingzhou soldiers control the Laihe, Qiu Zhi's defense in Bozhou will become a useless act, and even give the Dingzhou army to cut off the back road without the Laihe, except for giving up Bozhou and retreating to Pingzhou Suzhou, Qiu Zhi has almost no other choice, Zu Yan thought.

It is hoped that when the news of the loss of Qingtan reaches Bozhou, General Qiu Lao will immediately break his wrist and lead the army to retreat, saving his strength in order to counterattack. Zu Yan thought bitterly that he had failed the trust of the old general after all, but he had indeed done his best.

This is beyond the reach of human beings.

"General Zheng, shout to them to surrender!" In this battle, the artillery captain who made great achievements held torches, looked at the remaining enemy troops on the top of the fortress, and turned his head to look at Zheng Zhiqiang.

Zheng Zhiqiang squinted his eyes and turned his head to point to the stone steps leading to the bottom of the mountain, "See, the blood of more than three thousand brothers is still flowing, even if they are willing to surrender, I will not give them a chance, blood debt and blood to pay. Shoot the guns."

The artillery lieutenant hesitated for a moment, Zheng Zhiqiang snatched the torch in his hand, stretched it under the lead, and lit the lead. Seeing Zheng Zhiqiang firing the cannon with his own hands, the gunners of the other two Shenwei cannons did not hesitate any longer, and at the same time ignited the fuse of the cannons.

There were three deafening loud bangs, and the rising white smoke enveloped a large area of land.

Zu Yan held the flag in his hand and stood on the top of the fortress, smiling, looking at the black dots that quickly moved from far to near.

A loud bang exploded inside the fortress, and after the cannon fired, Zu Yan was already nowhere to be seen, except for the few flags that were blown up and slowly fell from the top of the fortress.

The fall of the Qingtan Fortress.

Qinzhou, Qu Yongjie watched as a group of soldiers finally attacked the city, and quickly gained a foothold, expanding the results of the battle, and seeing that the Luoyang army began to occupy the city wall piece by piece, a smile finally appeared on his face, and he breathed a long sigh of relief, "Qinzhou City, finally taken."

"Capture Qinzhou!" The Luoyang soldiers let out an earth-shattering cheer. The follow-up troops flocked to Qinzhou City like a tide.

Guan Xinglong, who retreated to the inner city, glanced back at the city wall behind him, where more and more Luoyang soldiers appeared in his field of vision.

"Ignition!" He coldly ordered.

The streets that surround the inner city have long been stuffed with all kinds of flammable materials, and with countless torches thrown into the streets, there is a loud sound and a burst of flames ignites. Let's go! Dragging the thick-backed knife, Guan Xinglong strode towards the inner city, and behind him, the last group of soldiers who withdrew from the outer city either carried or supported the wounded soldiers, and retreated into the inner city, and in the rumbling sound, the jack gate of the inner city slowly lowered. Here we await victory or death! The blazing light reflected Guan Xinglong's face, "Here, is our last position."

"Dingzhou Army, Wansheng!" The Dingzhou army, which was less than 5,000 soldiers with wounded soldiers, roared in unison.

The raging fire stopped the Luoyang soldiers from continuing to advance, and they had to stop, and before the fire was extinguished, they could not attack the last enemy army in the inner city, and the Dingzhou army outside the city not only ordered to withdraw to the inner city, but also a considerable part of them scattered into the vast residential area, and started street battles with the Luoyang soldiers.

The seemingly empty streets and alleys are full of murderous motives, and from time to time sharp arrows will be sent out from the rooftops or windows on both sides, which makes the fire fighting work of the Luoyang soldiers go even more slowly.

Through the raging fire, Qu Yongjie heard the tsunami-like shouts from the inner city, and he couldn't help but be moved, "The Dingzhou Army is indeed the first army in the world, Guan Xinglong, worthy of Li Qingzhi's praise, this is the most tragic battle I have experienced in my life."

Breaking through the outer city of Qinzhou, the Luoyang soldiers suffered more than 50,000 casualties, of which the number of dead exceeded 30,000, and as many as 38 people were killed in the battle at the level of general and above.

On October 20th, the fire of Qinzhou City was extinguished, and in front of Qu Yongwei was the inner city of about a kilometer in length and width, the banners of the exhibition, the dense defenders, and the eight bull crossbows that flashed with cold light, which made Qu Yongjie gasp and thought that after the outer city was defeated, the battle would be relaxed, and with the advantage of the number of Luoyang soldiers, the inner city would be easily captured, but now it seems that there is only a bitter battle.

"Bring in all the trebuchets outside the city, all the eight-oxen crossbows, siege engines, Mengchong vehicles, all come in." Qu Yongjie ordered loudly.

"One day, you have one day to take the inner city."

On the city wall, Guan Xinglong looked at the iron boxes brought by the special services of the Supervision Yuan to the city wall, this is a batch of grenades that the Supervision Yuan urgently mobilized before the war, even when the outer city was about to break, Guan Xinglong was not willing to use it, this was his last killing weapon.

Handing over the thick-backed knife to the soldiers around him, Guan Xinglong strode up, and the special service opened the box, from which Guan Xinglong took out a swarthy round object, and dragged a long tail behind the oval iron bullet.

"General, light this fuse and throw it, it will explode, and the iron sheet on the outside and the iron nail wrapped in the gunpowder will cause great damage to the opponent." The special service introduced.

Guan Xinglong nodded, "These things are handed over to you, give Qu Yongjie a surprise, it's a pity that it's not much, otherwise it's up to him, Qu Yongjie wouldn't want to attack my outer city."

"Don't worry, general!"

"General Guan, the other party is preparing to attack the city." Wang Peng strode over, and before the words fell, the sound of war drums outside the city rang out, and in the sky, black stone bullets rushed to the sky. Protect the General! Several pro-soldiers pounced on him, holding big shields, and protected Guan Xinglong to the death.

Large swaths of dwellings were cleared so that the Luoyang soldiers had enough room for maneuver and troop redeployment, and the inner city of Qinzhou now stands alone in ruins.

Stone bullets flew in the sky, and the Luoyang soldiers on the ground pushed Meng Chong car, siege vehicles, and ladders swarmed up, and they actually adopted a four-sided simultaneous attack on the inner city.

The ladder hit the city wall, the city car crashed hard, the whole city wall trembled, the tall siege car slowly approached, each siege car was loaded with dozens of soldiers, they operated eight bull crossbows and bows and arrows, suppressed the city.

Guan Xinglong leaned tightly against the city wall, looking through the battlements, looking at the enemy army as dense as locusts, "A little more, a little more, a little more dense, a little more dense!" "The more people there are, the greater the density, and the more powerful the projectile can be when you stay for a while.

"Ready!" He pulled his throat and picked up a grenade with his own hands.

"Throw!" With a loud roar, he ignited the fuse of the grenade on the torch beside him, and threw it down.

There is no trebuchet in the city to fight back, and the eight-bull crossbow is also scarce, which creates an illusion for the Luoyang soldiers, the opponent's long-range weapons are not left, or even none at all, the battle of Qinzhou has been fought for half a month, even if the city is rich in storage, in such a high-intensity war of attrition, it should be almost consumed.

More than a hundred grenades were dropped from the city.

Guan Xinglong had no experience, so he threw it a little earlier, and the projectile still didn't explode when it fell to the ground, and the fuse was burning with a bang, and after a while, it exploded with a bang.

The agents of the Supervision Yuan were much more experienced, and after lighting the fuse, they held it in their hands for a few minutes, and then they raised their hands and threw them, and the grenades they threw basically exploded a few feet above the opponent's head.

In a loud noise, thick smoke, swishing iron nails, iron pieces flew horizontally, the dense crowd under the city suddenly seemed to be in the Shura Hell, the strong explosion sound shook the ears buzzing, and in the smoke, a large number of Luoyang soldiers screamed and fell, rolling all over the ground, and at the foot of the inner city that was filled with space, a large blank space immediately appeared.

More than a dozen siege vehicles were blown up, with the roaring sound, the soldiers on the siege vehicles screamed and fell into the air, and the Dingzhou soldiers who had been leaning on the city wall silently shouted, and at the same time stood up from the city, and fired a bow continuously, overturning the enemy troops who were still standing one by one.

The Luoyang soldiers were blown up for a while, some soldiers shouted wildly and scurried all over the ground, some stood in place in a daze, looking up at the sky, and some trembled, lying on the ground.

This is the first time that grenadiers have been used on a large scale on the battlefield. The loud sound made Qu Yongjie, who was riding on a horse to watch the battle, also stunned, the war horse was frightened, jumping wildly, and the defenseless Qu Yongjie dismounted from the horse, if it wasn't for the timely rescue of the soldiers, he was almost trampled by his own war horse, and the frightened war horse opened its four hooves and ran away in an instant.
