    "Fuck you, Man Gou! Hongyi cannon, aim at the position of Man Gou's cannon, and give me a hard bang!"

    "Mother and child cannon, stop firing! Move forward one mile!"

    With the ferocious yelling of Line Fu, the commander of the Fat Man's Armament Squad, the order was conveyed quickly, and the artillery formation of the Fat Man's Army, which had been raging for more than half an hour, fell silent one after another.  At the corner, aim at the Qing army fort that was exposed when the artillery was fired just now, and the mother and child artillery team all moved forward to get close to the city wall, using close-range firing to exert greater destructive power on the city wall with solid shells.

    "Wu Gou's artillery has stopped! Hurry up and repair the city wall!" At the same time, Le Erjin also jumped up on the Fanchang city wall, shouting loudly: "Wu Gou's artillery is advancing, quickly repair the city wall, otherwise  No chance! Hurry up! Hurry up! Hongyi Cannon, transfer immediately!"

    "Transfer the Hongyi Cannon! Hurry! Come and help!" The gunners of the Qing army also knew that they had exposed their targets, so they hurriedly called their companions to turn the cannons, and pushed them to other forts together.  Last Ammo.  But the Hongyi cannon weighing several thousand catties does not mean that it can be transferred. When the soldiers of the Qing army just pulled the Hongyi cannon back to the open part of the city wall and turned the cannon body, the fat army Hongyi cannon far away from the city wall had already fired.  Roaring and rumbling explosions, thirty shells were divided into two groups, roaring and smashing towards the fort of the Qing army.

    "Protect the Hongyi Cannon!" I don't know who took the lead in shouting, and several soldiers of the Qing army threw themselves on the Hongyi Cannon, protecting the steel giant with their flesh and blood, lest the last two gates of the Leer Jin Army  The Hongyi Cannon was destroyed by the Fat Man's artillery fire.  However, the shells from the Fat Man Army still fell overwhelmingly. Amidst the sound of rumbling explosions, the soldiers of the Qing army within the coverage area of ??the artillery fire were either killed or injured.

    "Boom! Boom! Boom!" Fatty's artillery shells came one after another, and the soldiers of the Qing army who tried to rescue the artillery also fell into a pool of blood one after another.  , I could only watch helplessly as our last two Hongyi cannons were gradually deformed in the artillery fire, the frame was gradually fragmented, and they completely lost the ability to re-shoot.

    "Boom! Boom! Boom¡ª!" The sound of continuous shelling came, and the Fat Army's cannons weighing only 180 kilograms soon arrived at the new position.  With the Fanchang city wall fired again, the solid iron bullets weighing more than 20 jin hit the city wall. Although the casualties caused to the soldiers of the Qing army were far less than those of the shells, they were the worst for the dilapidated Fanchang city wall.  The fatal blow was struck.  Basically, one shot is a big pit, the bricks of the city wall are smashed, the rammed earth is cracked and broken, and they fall together in clusters, peeling off layers.

    "I'm afraid I won't be able to survive today's daytime." Seeing this, Le Erjin completely lost his confidence in sticking to Fanchang. He grabbed a soldier and yelled wildly in his ear: "You, bring ten cavalry to ride  Get out of the city quickly! Go after the prince! Tell him that Fanchang cannot hold on for a long time, and let him send reinforcements back immediately! I will do my best to hold back Wugou's main force!"

    "Cover! Cover! The servant understands!" Because the artillery fire was too fierce, Le Erjin's soldiers could only yell and agree as if tearing their throats.

    "Remember! You are asking for help from Lord Zhang, not Ghent Baturu. Don't make any mistakes!" Le Erjin yelled uneasy again, until the soldier yelled and promised to hear clearly, Le Erjin  Only then let him go out of the city.

    "Boom!" The messenger sent to ask Lord Zhang for help had just left the city wall when another section of the wall collapsed. The fat army cheered again, while the soldiers of the Qing army rushed towards the gap with sandbags against the gunfire, racing against time to repair the city wall.  But not long after, two loud bangs came from the southeast section of the Fanchang city wall. The two sections of the city wall could not withstand the devastation of the artillery fire and collapsed one after another. One of the gaps even collapsed from the middle of the city wall more than two feet high.  Everyone looked pale, and rushed to repair the city wall again.

    "Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"  It was terrible, countless people were smashed to pieces, and were directly blown into meat sauce.  At the same time, the infantry team of Fatty Army, who had been holding back for a long time, finally made a move, carrying the ladder, carrying sandbags and pushing the anti-arrow cart, striding forward, trotting towards the east gate of Fanchang - Fatty Lu really wanted to  Use artillery to completely collapse the walls of Fanchang City and then attack the city, but considering the productivity of this era, Fatty Lu had to give up this plan and try his best to save some precious ammunition.

    "Wu Dog is ready to go to the city! Archers, musketeers, all ready! ?sp; In the end, the Fatty Army had no choice but to resort to the back-to-the-sky sampan tactic again. Under the cover of night, they blew up a Dutch warship and injured two Dutch warships.  The Qing-Dutch allied forces also paid a heavy price. Except for the people in Chongming County on Chongming Island, the rest of the people were massacred by the Qing army and the Dutch soldiers, and Mao Yougui's fleet lost more than half.  As a last resort, Mao Yougui and Han Yuanren could only quickly send messengers to ask for help from the Li Guodong Marine Division of the General Reserve of the Fat Army in Zhenjiang.

    On the southern front, Geng Jingzhong, who was thoroughly irritated by the arrogant attitude of the old man Wu, was also tempted by the conditions proposed by the Qing court to cede the entire territory of Zhejiang.  They also sent out an army to attack Yixing, and Guo Yingfu and Huang Ming, the fat man's army, fell into a bitter battle at the same time.  The Zheng Jing team in Hangzhou was firstly dissatisfied with the old man Wu's treachery and usurped the emperor, and temporarily terminated the ally relationship with the Fatty Army; secondly, it was not strong enough;  Strong support.

    Huzhou is the strategic buffer zone preset by the Fat Man Army, no matter how badly it fights, it will have little effect. The real danger is Yangzhou Prefecture on the northern line.  Just as Han Daren expected, the Yangzhou Fatty Army, which had only 20 Hongyi cannons, was at a disadvantage in the long-range artillery battle with the Qing Army, which had an absolute numerical advantage.  It was not only difficult for the army's Hongyi cannons to completely destroy the Qing army's artillery formations, but they were bombarded by the Qing army's original artillery shells and caused a lot of damage, and the city walls were in a hurry several times.

    As a last resort, Gao Dejie had no choice but to ask for help from the Fatty Army's rear, and asked to send Hongyi cannons to reinforce the Yangzhou battlefield, while sending troops to attack the Qing army's artillery formation.  However, Yue Le, who had enough cannon fodder, was determined to kill Gao Dejie. When Gao Dejie left the city with a thousand troops, Yue Le sent three thousand troops.  After dispatching 10,000 troops, Yue Le dispatched all the cannon fodder of the Mongolian cavalry, determined to exchange three for one or even four for one, desperately consuming the precious troops of the fat army.

    In addition, Zhou Peigong, who represented Kang Mazi to the Yangzhou battlefield to inspect the battle situation, gave Yue Le another bad idea, that is, once the high-level Czech army leaves the city in large numbers, the Qing army, which has an absolute superiority in strength, will attack another city gate.  Forcing Gao Dejie to return to the teacher for rescue.  There is also desperately digging horse traps and building anti-horse walls, so as to limit Gao Dejie's best cavalry raid tactics.

    "Actually, there is another way." Zhou Peigong also suggested to Yue Le: "In the territory of Yangzhou, there are many Han people who are daring and treacherous. Your lord, you can arrest these thieves in large numbers, and then tell them,  If they can fill up the moat of Yangzhou for us, they will be allowed to shave their hair and braids again, otherwise, they will all be executed for treason."

    "What? Wugou doesn't care about the life and death of the common people? Forgive me for daring to say that the prince is wrong. Wugou's army has always been hypocritical. Thirty years ago when we entered the Qing Dynasty, the only one who didn't slaughter the city for us was the Qing Dynasty.  It is the army of the old thief Wu Sangui. Now that the old thief Wu Sangui has ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, he naturally dare not kill the people casually. Besides, even if Wu Gou is so determined to shoot at the people, it will consume Wu Gou's ammunition  Isn¡¯t it pretty good? Now that Jiangnan Wugou is fighting on four fronts, how many firearms can you supply with just a black weapon camp?¡± (To be continued.
