Chapter 764: Huang Taiji's move

The Later Jin Tartars surrounding the county town did not seem to plan to give the county town defenders any preparation time.    ...

Just as dawn was dawn, the roaring explosion sounded at the red-clothed cannon position.

Then, thirty flowering bullets with screaming sounds smashed towards the county town.

Fortunately, the leader of the Tiger and Leopard Army Musketball Corps did not hit the city wall.

Otherwise, with the power of the flowering bullet, as long as there are a few falling on the top of the city, it will cause very heavy damage to the Tiger and Leopard Army without any anti-cannon preparations.

Because no one expected that the Later Jin Iron Cavalry, who had surrounded him, would suddenly send so many firearm troops and so many red-clothed cannons.

However, even so, more than ten flowering bullets landed in the city successfully launched more than ten fireballs mixed with a large number of black smoke.

The regiment commander standing on the city wall, condescendingly, saw at least ten tiger and leopard troops killed and injured by the explosion of the flower bomb.

Of course, during the entire explosion, the ordinary people killed and injured by the bomb were at least three times that of the Tiger and Leopard Army.

Many people, who didn't even have a chance to react, were buried in the ruins of the bombed houses in the sound of explosions...

Faced with this situation, the regiment commander looked shocked and subconsciously exclaimed: "Hurry, order all the defenders on the city to prepare for anti-aircraft artillery... Also, call the commander of the cannon company immediately and hurry up..."

A large number of tiger and leopard troops began to rush down the city wall, hiding at the foot of the city wall, and began to guard against the second round of artillery fire of the Tartars. The commander of the artillery company, who was panting on his face, rushed directly to the regiment commander and asked...

"Captain, what are you asking for me?"

Although the regiment commander knew that the power and range of the mortars in the regiment were very limited, in order to defend the county town, he still pointed at the red-clothed cannons outside the city, which were almost two miles away from the city wall with expectations, and asked the commander of the cannon company who rushed over: "Can the mortars of the cannon company knock off those red-clothed cannons..."

What disappointed the regiment commander was that as soon as he finished speaking, the commander of the cannon company shook his head helplessly and said denied...

"Captain. It's too far... The Tartars obviously knew the range of our medium-sized mortars and deliberately arranged artillery positions at more than 100 steps outside the range of the mortars... It's just over 100 steps away. If the Tatars' red-clothed cannons go more than 100 steps forward, the cannon company can fight them. Even if they can't knock them off, they can harass them so that they don't fire flowering bullets at the city head so unscrupulously."

"If these Tartars can come two months later, and wait until we complete the expansion of the army and equipped with heavy mortars, I will definitely bombard the Tartars' red cannons as soon as possible. Eliminate them..."

"It's a pity that time doesn't wait for anyone, the Tartars are here so soon..."

As soon as the commander of the artillery company finished speaking, a new round of whistling shells across the sky followed by a sound of over the battlefield.

The thirty flowering bullets in this round have become much more accurate.

Four flowering bullets hit the city directly.

Facing the battle situation in front of you that can be called passively beaten, the helpless expression on the face of the cannon company.

The regiment commander had to admit that if the battle continued like this, with the limited troops at his hand, he might not be able to hold on for even one day.

Thinking of this, the commander's face changed drastically, and quickly ordered: "For the lives of all the soldiers of the regiment, we must not sit and wait for death. We send orders, except for leaving an observation post, all the soldiers left the city..."

"Company Commander Zhang, I will hand over all the artillery to you... Once the Tartars launch an attack, your artillery company must block them for me and persevere until the musketeers climb the wall again..."

"Also, immediately ignite the beacon of urgent help, and ask the Governor's Office for help..."

When Wang Feng, the Liaodong Governor's Office, was thinking about the specific solutions to the bad situation in front of him.

A messenger rushed into the Governor's Mansion with horror on his face and rushed to himself...

"Captain, emergency military information... The Second Regiment asked us for help through the beacon fire. The Second Regiment was attacked by the 10,000 Later Jin Iron Cavalry and the 10,000 Later Jin Firearms Unit... The troops suffered heavy losses. They could only last for one day at most..."

"What? One day...how could it be so fast... Did the scouts of the Cavalry Division send back specific information... When did the Tartars become so powerful..." After hearing the report, Wang Feng, who was shocked, sat up from his seat directly. He asked incredible look at the messenger...

Just when the messenger didn't know how to answer, the commander of the cavalry division appeared in front of Wang Feng in a very timely manner...

"Captain, I have the latest information that the scout just sent back... The Second Regiment is being attacked by at least 20,000 Tartars... These 20,000 Tartars are also equipped with a large number of red-clothed cannons... At the beginning of the battle, the Tartars bombarded the city walls with red-clothed cannons..."

"In order to avoid exposure, the scout did not continue to approach, so it was unclear about the specific situation of the battle at this moment!"

Hearing this, Wang Feng's face showed a relief expression. Then, he said to the cavalry commander: "Now I finally know why the Second Regiment, which has more than 2,000 soldiers, asked for help from the Luo tribe just after being attacked, and he couldn't hold on for even a day. It turned out that the culprit of all this was dozens of red cannons equipped by the Tartars..."

"Ten thousand musketeers, dozens of red-clothed cannons... It's such a big deal. If nothing unexpected happens, this is Huang Tai Chi's move to us..."

"Take a move... Commander, what do you mean..." The cavalry commander frowned and asked subconsciously...

After waved his hand and signaling the messenger to leave, Wang Feng no longer hesitated and spoke directly: "It's indeed Huang Tai Chi's move... Don't forget that the Tartars still have 20,000 elite traces, and we haven't found them yet..."

"If we next do something about Huang Taiji, we will send reinforcements. And the 20,000 elite troops of the Later Jin army who have not found a trace may very well strike the reinforcements we sent..."

"If we don't accept the attack and let the Tartars attack the Second Regiment, then the outcome of the Second Regiment will definitely be the destruction of the entire army..."

"Of course, this is the best result... After the Second Regiment is defeated, the Tatars Huang Taiji will have more mobile troops. As long as he is willing, he can defeat them one by one and destroy the six musket regiments we scattered... and finally achieve the goal of destroying our Liaodong Tiger and Leopard Army..."

"This Huang Tai Chi is really brave... For the sake of Liaodong's food, he actually transferred all the troops of the entire Later Jin Kingdom to deal with us..."
