    "The general has an order. The first brother to rush in will be awarded five hundred taels of silver and promoted to the third level." "Brothers, rush." ??"Kill them all and avenge the brothers." Shang Kexi gave the order,  The soldiers in charge rushed up with all their strength. They were desperadoes in the first place, and there must be brave men under heavy rewards. Greed overcame fear, and each one of them was not afraid of death. They pounced on them like hungry tigers. In fact, they were not afraid of death.  It's not possible to rush. The supervising team behind is watching eagerly. Anyone who dares to retreat will be punished on the spot. Besides, the general is watching from behind. If he behaves well and is appreciated by the general, he can reach the sky in one step.  The Qing army rushed up with a loud killing sound, but the Sichuan army did not respond loudly. For them, it was better to save one breath to kill the enemy. The enemies rushed up in dense numbers, pointing their guns at the crowd, and firing accurately, so the Qing army still  Before they even reached the protective ditch, they suffered heavy casualties. As soon as they approached the protective ditch, the Sichuan Army began to drop grenades for free, and they couldn't rush through again and again. The ditch was more than ten feet wide, and it was deep and had many sharpened wooden stakes placed underneath.  , if it fell, it would be certain death. I wanted to retreat but I didn¡¯t dare to retreat, because the supervising team was behind them. They were slaughtered by the Sichuan army like meat targets. They finally laid the planks, but the Sichuan army threw a grenade and immediately blew it up. All the previous efforts were wasted.  .  In less than a quarter of an hour, there were already dozens of corpses lying outside the watchtower. It was estimated that three to five hundred people had fallen.  When Luke saw something was wrong, he immediately ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops. Those subordinates had long wanted to retreat. When they heard the signal to withdraw their troops, they all just hated their parents for losing two legs and turned around.  He ran away and exposed his back to the Sichuan army. During the retreat, many people were shot and fell.  "Who gave the order to withdraw the troops? Who gave the order to withdraw the troops?" Shang Kexi was about to send the second echelon, but he didn't expect that the troops were withdrawn without his consent, so he shouted angrily.  Luke Yong quickly saluted and said: "General, it is the last general who ordered the gold medal." If it were someone else, I would be happy to rectify the law immediately on the spot.  But this person is Luke Yong, so that¡¯s another matter. Luke Yong is not only Shang Kexi¡¯s old confidant, he has also saved Shang Kexi¡¯s life. He is loyal and capable in both civil and military affairs. He has won Shang Kexi¡¯s trust. He just frowned upon hearing this.  Wrinkled, he asked with some confusion, "Ke Yong, we are about to capture it, why did you withdraw your troops?" In fact.  Except for Luke, no one has the guts to withdraw troops without permission.  "If you don't ring gold, I'm afraid all the brothers who rushed forward will be killed in battle this time. I ordered this without authorization. Please punish me." Luke immediately knelt down to apologize.  Shang Kexi said coldly: "Tell me your reasons. If it makes sense, I will absolve you of the crime of violating the rules. If you cannot convince me, don't blame the ruthless military law." "General. Look.  , that watchtower is backed by a cliff, we can only attack from three sides, a small watchtower. The Sichuan army has prepared new guns, grenades, and artillery. Judging from the way they spare no effort in ammunition, the reserves should be sufficient, and the design of this watchtower.  It's also very special. In addition to the protective ditch, there are also some strange pointed stone formations (many pyramid-shaped cones made of cement), which our horses cannot pass. Even if we attack, the watchtower will not be able to pass.  The door looks like an iron gate and it is difficult for us to get in. This watchtower has two floors, but there are no windows, only small holes. Those Sichuan troops passed through those small holes to attack us. They can easily  They cause damage to us, but we can't hurt them at all. They are like hiding in a turtle shell. Even if we can get close, we can't attack them, which will increase the casualties." After saying this, Luke sighed.  He lowered his voice and said: "General, these are veterans who have followed us through life and death. They have rich combat experience. If one dies, one will be lost. We must be cautious. The general estimates that even if we can capture it, only one-third of the more than 3,000 people will be left."  One is good, because of this, the general dared to let people withdraw their troops. "Two-thirds of the casualties?  Shang Kexi took a breath of air. He couldn't bear even one third, not to mention two thirds. You know, for this ambush, he had to use all his elites. If the casualties of these elites were too great, it would affect  In Manqing's eyes, one's own strength is closely related to a person's importance. If he has no soldiers, he will probably be left idle or someone else will take his place. This kind of thing must not be taken lightly.  To be honest, Shang Kexi hoped that his men were exaggerating, but he fell silent again when he saw the mountains of corpses in front of the watchtower.  The intensive firepower of the Sichuan Army just now made Shang Kexi's eyes jump. With such fierce firepower, charging forward would be self-destruction.  "With so many of us, if we can't take down this small lookout, how can we explain to the regent when we go back? I'm afraid we will make our colleagues laugh." Shang Kexi said hesitantly.  Luke Yong had already thought about it, and upon hearing this, he immediately offered his advice: "General, this little?Look, it¡¯s not that we can¡¯t attack, we can change the attack method, without using human lives to fill it, we can directly bombard it with artillery, flatten it, and see where they run?  Anyway, the Manchus only need their heads." "Yes, why didn't I think of it. The Sichuan army could use artillery, and I could also use it. The credit for leveling this place belongs to me. Hearing this, he said happily: "That's right, it's still you.  Because of your thoughtfulness, I will leave this matter to you. Do it well and I will remember your contribution when the time comes.  " " Got the order!  "With Shang Kexi's approval, Luke immediately sent people to transfer the lightweight Tiger Crouching Cannon. In order to quickly decide the battle, he transferred as many as fifteen guns at once, preparing to avenge his previous humiliation and win the Sichuan Army.  We captured this watchtower before the reinforcements arrived. Everyone saw the beacon lighted just now. There are currently less than 3,000 people in our army, so it is not appropriate to fight forcefully. "Get ready, light the fire."  " Luke gave an order, and the fifteen squatting tiger cannons were ignited together. Soon, the sound of burning fuses was heard on the scene. "Boom, boom, boom, boom." The fifteen squatting tiger cannons roared one after another, and fired.  The lead bullets hit the Sichuan Army's watchtower. Under the explosion, everyone felt the ground shaking. After the smoke, just when everyone thought that the watchtower would fall, what surprised everyone was that the watchtower  The tower is still standing on the top of the mountain like a rock, but the wall is peeling off a little. Those with a good eye can even see some fragments embedded in the wall. "Oh my God, fifteen artillery shells were fired at the same time, but they couldn't knock it down."  A small watchtower? Shang Kexi thought he was dazzled and wiped his eyes twice. Yes, the watchtower was still there. The shooting holes seemed to be laughing at his own eyes. Shang Kexi was so angry.  His face was blue. ¡°There won¡¯t be any problem with these shells, right?  No, it was quite lively just now, it shouldn¡¯t be.  "Luke was also stunned. After the surprise, he didn't look for the reason in the Sichuan army. Instead, he suspected that the quality of his own artillery shells was not up to standard. "What are you still doing? Boom, give me a blast. I don't believe this kid.  The small turret has a copper wall and an iron wall, and it is also evil.  "Shang Kexi was so angry that he ordered loudly. Seeing that his general was really angry, Luke did not dare to neglect and immediately ordered the bombardment to continue. "There was another boom. After the second round of bombardment, Shang Kexi thought that this was  The round of shelling should have knocked down the small watchtower, but after the shelling, what made everyone gasp was: the watchtower was like an invincible Xiaoqiang. Although it was a little more broken than before, it was still strong.  Standing there, Shang Kexi and others were surprised. Even Hao Feng and Zhong Huan in the watchtower were so surprised that they couldn't escape this time. Unexpectedly, in addition to feeling some vibrations, the sound of explosions made their ears feel uncomfortable.  It¡¯s comfortable, but the watchtower is very strong, even the hair is not damaged. I thought I was dreaming for a while. ¡°Brother Zhong, this watchtower is so powerful, it can be compared with the walls of those big cities.  "Hao Feng said with admiration. "Brother Hao, this little brother really doesn't know. This is why he knows that this watchtower is so strong. To tell you the truth, when the Governor asked me to come here, I went deep alone.  , there were only a hundred people, and we even wrote a suicide note before we left. I didn¡¯t expect it to be so strong. At that time, we thought the Governor had asked us to die. But now that I think about it, it¡¯s just a villain¡¯s heart that is like a gentleman¡¯s.  "Hao Feng didn't have time and didn't pay attention just now. Hao Feng touched the wall and felt a little cold. He said curiously: "I have seen this kind of wall. It is made of cement invented by the Governor. Oh my god, that thing can not only be repaired but also repaired."  Road, and a watchtower can be built, which is amazing. The Governor is really amazing.  "It's cement," Zhong Huan added, "I heard from the craftsmen who built this watchtower that it was made of cement, sand, stone, iron bars, etc. It is said that the wall is more than a foot thick. It is said that it was tested in Sichuan."  It was said that this high hope can withstand many levels of shelling. It was very mysterious. I thought they were bragging. Now it seems that it is true.  " As soon as Zhong Huan finished speaking, the lookout was shaken again. It was the second round of shelling by the Shang Kexi Department of the Qing army. "These Qing dogs, are you addicted to beating them?" Hao Feng said angrily: "No matter how many levels of shelling they can withstand,  Brother Zhong, let the brothers adjust the corners. Our cannons can shoot farther and more powerfully than theirs. If they come over, let's blast them back to see which one is more powerful.  "Although he was not injured, it doesn't feel good to be beaten blindly, especially if the shock makes his ears uncomfortable. The structure of the watchtower and its resistance to several levels of shelling are meaningless to Hao Feng. Anyway, he is not afraid of their bombardment. Seeing the enemy like this  After calmly firing the cannon, Hao Feng immediately became upset and suggested using artillery to fight back. No one who can compete with the Sichuan army has been born yet. "Hahaha, okay, I have already had this intention," Zhong Huan said boldly.  "Brother??, do you hear that? Take out our guys. As soon as you hear the sound of the cannons, you will know that these Qing dogs are showing off in front of us with the crouching tigers of the Zhengde period. They are simply doing what they do best. Let's teach them a lesson.  "(To be continued)
