"The gun is on the shoulder!"

"The gun is on the shoulder!"

...

After distributing the guns, all the Portuguese were very happy. They immediately started training with the Ming army, and the command was immediately mixed with the Portuguese's strange Chinese accent.

From Nanjing to Jinan, you can reach directly from the canal. It is the dry season now. After crossing the Yangtze River, you can only transfer to small boats. Yang Lin and his party and the boatman had more than 1,000 people, and they rode on more than 40 large and small ships. They did not transport them to the north. This was a large fleet, not to mention that there were flags of government on it, and the ships along the way avoided them, and they were all unobstructed along the way.

However, the gunshots and strange roars from time to time from the ship did scare many ship owners along the way. Many ship owners saw that the fleet had left a long way before they dared to get off the ship again.

The Qing army camp tents were densely covered outside Jinan. In addition to the more than 70,000 people led by Duoduo, Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming and others, Shuksakha, Haoge and others also arrived. Although Ajige and Wu Sangui did not come, they asked Wu Sangui's brother Wu Sanfu and his general Hu Shouliang to lead more than 10,000 Guanning troops to cheer.

When Wu Sangui let the Qing army enter the pass, he began to say that he was just using troops to suppress the enemy and did not surrender to the Qing army. He just entered the pass. Wu Sangui couldn't help but be granted the title of Queen of Pingxi by the Qing Dynasty. Wu Sangui had no room to regret it. Ajige was always in Wu Sangui's army and did not hide his attempt to monitor him. Wu Sangui could only obey his orders.

Although Shuksah, Haoge and Hu Shouliang had only about 40,000 troops, he was only stronger than Duoduo's strength. These more than 100,000 troops were the limit that the entire Qing court could mobilize now.

A ray of sunshine rose and shone on the top of Jinan. Every dozen meters above the city, there was a Ming army in armor standing there motionless, like a statue, with little dew remaining on his face and body, shining in the sun.

The city walls of Jinan are already shattered, and there are traces of repair after the collapse of bricks and stones in many places. The intact bricks and stones are shocking bloodstains. Under the city walls, there are black blood clots everywhere on the yellow-brown land. Occasionally, some discarded broken arrows and rifles can be seen in the grass. In the sun, they reflect light coldly.

The Qing army camp tent under the city had smoke rising. The Qing army came out of the camp tent. Many people pointed at the city wall, looking relaxed. Only the two foreign military camps in the front seemed a little lifeless. Although they smelled the fragrance of food, the soldiers were listless.

These soldiers' hair and clothes are similar to those of the Ming army, but the flags have been changed to green. Most of them are the Green Camp soldiers who have just surrendered. In the past few days, they have served as the main attack on Jinan City, with the most casualties, so they are in this state.

The Manchus had no choice but to do a strong city, either relying on traitors or intimidation to make the Ming army surrender by themselves. If it really didn't work, they could only go by. It was not until Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming and others brought a large number of firearms to the Qing army, and the Qing army's ability to siege was greatly improved.

Duoduo had already found out that there were only more than 30,000 troops in Jinan City. Although the city was high and thick, Duoduo thought it was not difficult to break with red cannons, but he did not expect it to be so difficult to attack. First, eight red cannons were suppressed by the cannons in the city. When Shuksakha arrived and brought the twelve red cannons that had been transported to Shaanxi to attack Tongguan, Duoduo thought he could easily capture Jinan, but although the cannons in the city were suppressed and the city walls collapsed many times, the Qing army still could not enter the city.

Duoduo was in a good mood today. Last night, dozens of cannons were added to his battalion. These cannons were made by the Qing army for several years and weighed a few points heavier than the red-clothed cannon. They were once highly expected by Huang Taiji and named the Invincible General Cannon, but it was too heavy and was transported to it today.

A team of Ming troops walked up to the city. The Ming army, who had just stood on the city like a statue, moved and exchanged positions with the Ming army coming up. Everyone had a little serious expression. In the past few days, every day, facing the Qing army's red barbarian cannon bombardment and the continuous attack of the green camp soldiers, the Ming army in the city also suffered heavy casualties, at least 3,000 people were seriously injured to death, and the enemy troops outside the city were even densely packed. No one knew whether Jinan City could be defended.

Huang Degong came to the top of the city, followed by Weng Zhiqi and Yin Hongsheng and other generals, but among them were Tian Xiong and Ma Degong. Their stick injuries had not healed for a while, and they had been staying in the mansion to recuperate these days.

"Master!" Ming Jun, who had just walked down from the city, saw Huang Degong and his group, and quickly saluted. The anxiety just now seemed to disappear suddenly. Everyone straightened their chests. With the Master here, Jinan would not lose it.

Huang Degong nodded to the officers and soldiers who were saluting. His face was obviously a little haggard. Because Tian Xiong and Ma Degong were missing, Huang Degong had almost always been waiting for the battle to avoid the Qing army's stolen camp these days, and only occasionally closed his eyes and squinted.

"How was the rest last night?" Huang Degong asked a soldier who had just changed his sentry.

"Go back to the Grand Marshal, the villain has a good rest. Today, when the Tartars attack the city, the villain must kill at least a few of them enough." The sentry replied with his chest straight.

"Okay!" Huang Degong nodded, and the heavy sentry slapped his shoulders. Just as he was about to encourage him, someone next to him said, "Master, there is any movement in the Tartars!"

"Oh." Huang Degong hurriedly looked outside the city. Sure enough, there was movement. The Qing army had already had breakfast and one cannon was pushed out of the battalion. In addition to the eighteen red-clothed cannons, there were more than ten more cannons, which seemed to be no smaller than the red-clothed cannons. Huang Degong and others took a breath. The eighteen red-clothed cannons were already unbearable to Jinan City. There were more than ten more cannons, which was great.

Amid the sound of wheels, the Qing army's cannons had already been pushed to the cannon position. Because there were more than a dozen cannons, the Qing army began to rebuild the cannon position. Weng Zhiqi couldn't help but say, "Master, should we fire the cannon first?"

Huang Degong asked back: "How many shells do we have?"

"When I go back to the Grand Marshal, there are only more than 400 shots. The craftsmen in the city can add about 70 shots a day."

There are more than fifty cannons in the city, and the rest are damaged and unusable, because the power of cannons in the city cannot be compared with the red-clothed cannons of the Qing army. If they fire at the target, they can only fire all the cannons to barely compete with the Qing army. When they heard that there were only hundreds of shells stored in the city, everyone understood that even one cannon cannon in the city cannons now. Although they knew that the other party had set up more than a dozen cannons, the city was even more dangerous, but they could do nothing.

"Master, there is something happening again," said a personal soldier.

Huang Degong and everyone looked at it quickly, and saw two cavalry coming out of the Qing army camp under the city, running straight towards the city wall, pausing in an arrow, shaking hands and shouting at the top of the city, and slowly moving forward as they shouted.

Yin Hong Sheng was furious: "Looking for death, take my bow."

A personal soldier took Yin Hongsheng's big bow. Yin Hongsheng was about to take the arrow and fired the bow. Huang Degong raised his hand and signaled Yin Hongsheng to put away the bow and arrow: "Forget it, listen to what they are going to say?"

Seeing that there was no movement on the city wall, the two became more and more bold. They stopped shaking their hands, rode their horses to the city, and shouted to the top of the city: "Listen to the Ming army on the city, I am still the messenger of the Qing Dynasty. Prince Yu has a letter to you. I hope to let us enter."

Huang Degong could hear the messenger clearly, but the deputy general who was guarding the city came over and informed him: "Master, should you let them enter the city?"

"Put down the blue and let them put the letters up in the blue and pick them up. I want to see what the hell is Duoduo?"

"yes."

Although the two Qing troops under the city had Duoduo's secret mission, it was best to enter the city to explore the truth and reality. However, seeing that the city was only put on the blue sky, it was obvious that they would not let them enter the city, so they had no choice but to put down the letter and put them in the blue sky. After a while, the letter was delivered to Huang Degong.

Huang Degong tore open the letter, and after only looking at it, he was so angry that he trembled with anger: "Fuck me, Mr. Huang, isn't I, Huang, a person who is afraid of death?" He tore the letter to pieces.

"You go back and tell Duoduo that he wants Jinan City and has the ability to take it by himself. Don't imagine that Huang will surrender without fighting."

A Qing army stared at Huang Degong and looked at him several times: "It turned out to be Lord Huang, Lord Huang, the so-called master of the times is a hero. Now Jinan City is surrounded by our army, and you can't fly away. Prince Yu has agreed that as long as Lord Huang is willing to surrender, even the title of King, the Qing Dynasty will never be stingy. The rest of the people will also have rewards. If the city of Jinan is broken, not only will you die without a place to bury, but even hundreds of thousands of residents in Jinan will turn into dust. Lord Huang, you have also seen that our army has added more than ten cannons. As long as the cannon is fired, you will turn into powder. Why bother?"

Huang Degong narrowed his eyes and stared at the Qing army under the city: "Do you know me?"

Although it was a long distance away, the man still noticed that Huang Degong's gaze was not good, and he was immediately suffocated and said with a forced smile: "Master Huang is famous, and he is a dragon and a phoenix among people. The villain is just guessing."

"No, you must know me. Since you know me, you dare to persuade me to surrender, it is simply an insult to me. You can't keep me. I'll bring you a bow and I'll shoot him with my own hands."

The Qing army under the city was shocked. While tying up horses to escape, he shouted loudly: "Master Huang, the two armies will not kill them when they fight, let alone you and I have no grievances or grudges, please show mercy."

Huang Degong was not affected by the words of the Qing army at all. He pulled the bow into a crescent moon, relaxed his hand, and heard the "swish!" sound. When the arrow arrived, the Qing army mount had just started, and the long arrow had already shot through the Qing army's back. The tip of the arrow was exposed from his chest. With a bang, the Qing army fell from the horse, but his feet were hung on the kickstick and were pulled up by the horse, leaving a deep blood mark on the ground.

The other man was frightened and didn't dare to move. He heard the shouting to get out of the city wall, slowly rode his horse away, and ran dozens of meters away from the city wall, and then he dared to fight and run desperately.

Only one of the two people sent back, and even the city did not enter, but only humiliated the other party for vain. Duoduo was furious: "Tell me the order to break through Jinan City, and let the army run for three days."

As soon as Duoduo's order was passed, the entire Qing army cheered countless times. In this battle, Dorgon accepted the advice of Hong Chengchou, Fan Wencheng and others to try to kill as little as possible to win the hearts of the people in the Central Plains. However, the Qing soldiers have always been accustomed to being so restrained, and they were not subject to such restrictions. When they heard that they could rob the city, everyone was as excited as a wolf smelling the smell of blood. If the cannon had not been set up, these people would have wished to attack the city immediately.

"Boom." The Qing army's cannon finally rang, and an iron ball weighing several pounds whizzed through the sky, hitting the front of the city wall. The bricks and stones on the city wall clattered, and a burst of dust raised. After the dust, the city wall was safe except for a white dot.

The first artillery fired by the Qing army was fired by the invincible general whom they cast. Huang Degong felt relieved after just a glance. The barrel seemed to be thick, but the power of the iron balls that were hit was not only far inferior to the red-clothed cannon, but even the smallest artillery of the Ming army in the city was not as good as that of the Ming army in the city. Adding more than a dozen of such cannons is not much different from the original threat.

"Boom" was a few more cannons. This time, the Qing army's red-clothed cannons also joined in. There was only a loud noise. There was a big hole in the city wall hit by the red-clothed cannon. Several nearby Ming soldiers were hit by flying bricks and stones, and they fell to the ground in a row. One person's head was directly hit by bricks and stones. The red and white inside were stirred together and flowed out: One person's arms were cut off by bricks and stones, and blood was gushing from the broken arms. The person had already fainted, and his legs were broken, but he was still conscious and moaned loudly...

"Hurry, hurry up, carry the person down." A group of Ming soldiers bent down in artillery fire and carried the body and the injured down.

"Master, this place is too dangerous, go down quickly." After the Qing army's artillery began, seeing Huang Degong still staying on the top of the city, the left and right persuaded each other.

After looking around, the youngest person around him was also the general. If a Qing army shell flew over, the city would not have to be defended. Huang Degong sighed, knowing that under the attack of cannons, it was not the time to show off: "Okay, let's go down."

The Qing army's artillery lasted for half an hour, and each cannon fired about a dozen shells. From beginning to end, the head of Jinan seemed to be dumb, and there was no fire to fight back. The Qing army's artillery was raging. After being baptized by hundreds of artillery shells in the Qing army, the city walls repaired yesterday became flaws everywhere. The two most serious city walls collapsed a gap the size of a city gate, and they could directly enter the city from the gap.

"Run!" The Qing army was excited. This time, Duodor planned to do it overnight. Not only did he send green camp soldiers, but he also sent hundreds of the most elite white-armored soldiers to seize the two gaps. At the same time, the Qing army's red-clothed cannon also adjusted its orientation and aimed at the two gaps to fire to prevent the Ming army from repairing and taking the opportunity to expand the gap.

"emission!"
