Gao Liugeng's worries soon became reality.

After learning that Lan Chun's team was frustrated, Mianen, who was furious, issued a death order.

He asked Cheng Ce to gather all the members of the Eight Banners of Jingkou and the musket team to launch a wave charge from the direction of the vegetable garden, with two hundred people taking turns to attack, requiring that the outer garden, including Tianfeng Pavilion, must be captured within two hours. At the same time, he transferred 100 people to Lan Chun, and limited him to half an hour to attack the gate of Suiyuan and enter the inner house.

Half an hour later, with the heavy drum sounding, the Qing army launched an attack again in the heavy snow. The members of the operation team felt the pressure increased sharply. Gao Liugeng, who was walking to the foot of the mountain, discovered this situation, and ordered the walkie-talkie to let everyone's weapons open with full firepower.

The first one to fire were three team members hiding behind the rockery at Qunyu Mountain. As soon as they opened fire, five or six Qing troops were instantly knocked down. Some were shot and some were extremely angry, while others were injured and rolled backwards.

Because their weapons were equipped with mufflers, the sound was very low, which was completely different from the sound of musket shooting in the Qing army imagined. They immediately stunned these guys and didn't know where the bullets were fired.

Finally, a sharp-eyed Qing army discovered the black muzzle behind the rockery and reminded loudly: "Let's go down quickly, the thief is behind the rockery!"

Seeing this, Wu Ni, who led the team, personally led thirty bird gunners forward and fired in rotation at the rockery under the cover of the shield car.

The group of bird gun soldiers from the Central Commander General were well-trained, and they were very fast in clearing the chamber and loading medicine, and their heads were also good. With continuous shooting, the gravel was splashed by Yuan Mei's Taihu stone, which was regarded as treasured by Yuan Mei, splashed.

Just when the Qing army officers and soldiers thought the opponent's firepower was suppressed and launched another charge, two grenades suddenly flew out from behind the rockery and landed towards the most dense position of the Qing army.

"boom!"

"boom!"

These two grenades were the same as the traps that Lan Chun and the others encountered before. They did not delay the fuse and exploded when they touched the ground. After the explosion, seven or eight Qing troops fell into a pool of blood. Immediately afterwards, a dense rain of bullets shot towards the Qing troops from behind the rockery again.

“Share, Share, Share..."

A dense rain of bullets roared, and soon the table plate covered with quilts and sand was sieve. Several bird gunmen hiding behind were also shot one after another. The rest of the Qing army were so scared that they lay on the ground and did not dare to look up. Although the lower-level officers in the team scolded loudly, they asked them to continue attacking, no one moved.

Seeing that the battle situation was in a stalemate again, Wu Ni was anxious and didn't know what to do, he suddenly heard a loud "boom" sound hundreds of meters eastward. After an instant, a magnolia tree located next to the rockery, which was as thick as a calf, broke.

When the Qing army officers and soldiers lying on the ground saw this scene, they were a little confused and did not understand what was going on. The three operational team members hiding behind the rockery were also a little confused. Could it be that the fort on the top of the mountain behind Yongqing Temple fired?

But the top of the back mountain is several miles away from here! It is meaningless for the Qing army to fire like this.

"The direction of the firing seems to be east... not good! They..."

Before the oldest middle-aged man among the three finished speaking, he heard a thunderous rumbling sound in the distance again, and four consecutive sounds. Four iron bombs of more than three pounds passed through the snow curtain and roared through the air. I don’t know if it was a blind cat hitting a dead mouse or something, one of them actually hit the rockery, and the upper half of the huge Taihu stone collapsed.

The three operation team members could not dodge and were covered in dust by the splashed gravel. A bad guy had a color on his arm. Now they understood everything. They hurriedly retreated to the rear while the dust had not yet dissipated.

At this time, Wu Ni, who was hiding behind the "Garden Tank", also understood what was going on, and his eyes shone in excitement. He stood up from behind the shield car despite his dissuasion, waved his sword and shouted: "Brothers, the prince has pulled the cannon up! Now the North Pirates are finished! Those who want to be promoted and make a fortune, kill me!"

When the Qing army woke up after hearing this, they all got up from the ground, with ferocious faces on their faces, shouting "kill" and pounced on the rockery.

On the edge of the vegetable field hundreds of meters away to the east, when the deputy governor of Jingkou Cheng Ce learned the situation, he kept saying "God bless the Qing Dynasty". He thought to himself that the prince was still predicting things like a god, so he transferred five cannons, otherwise he would have to use his life to pile up.

It turned out that after Mian En decided to launch a second attack, he felt that the firepower of the 100 bird gunmen might be insufficient, and the fortress located on the back mountain of Yongqing Temple was not good at sight because of the heavy snow. So he used the seal letter of the imperial envoy and wrote a warrant, asking his subordinates to go to the city with fire, and then transferred five mountain-splitting cannons from the armory.

Although General Qinglin of Jiangning wanted to protect Yuan Mei's family and even asked his son to inform him, he was unable to make up for the situation. So after receiving Mian En's order, he could only follow the action.

Now he hopes that Yuan Mei's family can escape smoothly, but he does not hope that the Eight Banners of Zhenjiang, which are both Manchu, will suffer heavy losses and are extremely entangled.

As mentioned before, the Qing army's mountain-splitting cannons were not particularly heavy, and they could be transported away with a few hundred kilograms of cannon bodies installed in a carriage. In addition, Jiangning City is martial law today, and there is no traffic congestion on the street, so it took only half an hour to get Qinglin received the warrant and five cannons were transferred to the scene.

When Cheng Ce learned that the war situation ahead was unfavorable, he didn't care too much about the artillery. He hurriedly ordered the gunner to open fire. The artillery association leader who led the team looked at the white space in the distance and thought to himself, "Where am I going to shoot?"

"Just fire at that side!"

Cheng Ce estimated it and raised his hand to point. He thought that no matter whether he hit the ball or not, he could make a sound, at least he could establish a power and boost morale.

The Xieling was helpless and knew that behind Cheng Ce was Prince Ding, so he did not dare to offend him, so he had to let his subordinates prepare. Because the Qing army's artillery was too short, the gunners were afraid of hitting their own people in front of him, so they hurriedly found a dirt slope to mount the five cannons and opened fire in the direction of Qunyu Mountain.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! On the other hand, Gao Liugeng, who had just passed the Dokawa Bridge, was startled from the first cannon. He thought it was the cannon on the mountain that opened fire. But the subsequent four cannons and the judgment of the direction of the sound made him understand that the Qing army fired the cannon from the east.

Don't ask, Prince Ding must have transferred a few more cannons.

Having figured out this, Gao Liugeng immediately notified the three team members who were ambushing the "Nantai" in Suiyuan with a walkie-talkie, asking them to delay the Qing army's offensive pace, and then asked the three retreating players to retreat to the "Echo Gate". Before, when they were setting up the battlefield, they installed explosives at the gate of the Echo Gate and the "Shuixi Pavilion" on the west side. As long as the access on both sides of the east and west sides was blown up, they could carry it until night.

After a while, gunfire sounded from the south platform, and several explosions came from a distance. Gao Liugeng picked up the stepper phone, pressed the call button and said, "I am No. 1, what's going on over there? It's over."

"After hundreds of enemies come, we don't have many bullets, we can't stop it anymore! The trap at the inner door was triggered! It's over."

"You retreat to Xiao Qixia immediately and meet Guoxiang and the others! It's over."

"I understand! It's over."

Gao Liugeng was talking on the phone while running towards the Echo Gate. As soon as he passed the Yuanyang Pavilion, he saw three people shooting backwards on the embankment dozens of meters away.

He rushed into the half-person-high sandbag fortification on the west side of the echo gate, picked up his gun and fired at the Qing army who had come dozens of meters away. In a blink of an eye, he knocked down five or six people. Two guys were shot and rolled into the cold house pool.

(Note: Handan is a lotus bag that has not bloomed.)

With his joining, the Qing army rushing over were beaten and fled in a hurry. The narrow dam left them with nowhere to hide. They retreated one after another and disappeared into the snow curtain in a blink of an eye.

Soon, the three team members who were removed also entered the fortification. Gao Liugeng saw one of the men in his thirties tied with gauze and blood leaking out of his arms, so he took advantage of the gap between changing magazines and asked, "Brother Jiu, are you injured?"

"It's nothing, it's okay to scratch a little bit. Hey, what do you mean by this? You can't see people clearly outside a hundred steps, and the result is that these bastards are covered in a few hundred steps!"

The person who spoke to Gao Liugeng was named Tao Laojiu, who was also a disciple of the Qian family. He started earlier than Gao Liugeng and was also a well-known figure in the Huanghuai River Basin.

"Brother Jiu, what I worry most now is the two cannons on the back mountain. If the snow is small or stops, there will be trouble in Tianfeng Pavilion."

"You are going to touch and knock out the two cannons?"

"I have this idea."

Tao Laojiu looked up at the gray sky, then looked at the bamboo forest behind the mountain, and then said, "It's hard to stop until the snow is dark, so it's hard to say in the middle of the night. If you want to do it, the faster the better. Otherwise, it will be difficult to wait until the sky is dark, and it will be difficult to pass through this bamboo forest."

"I think so too. Then please help me watch here. If the Qing army comes over again, it will blow up the sluice."

"Don't worry!" Tao Laojiu responded heavily and said, "Let Xiaoyao go with you?"

Gao Liugeng shook his head and said, "No, the road there is not easy to walk, I'll just go alone."

"Are the grenades enough? Do you want to give you two?"

"Enough! Maybe it's not enough." Gao Liugeng said that, and turned around and left. After a while, he had already arrived in front of the bamboo sea.

It is said that bamboo can be divided into three categories according to its breeding type. Among them, the cluster-type bamboo sprouts from the base of the mother bamboo to reproduce Hsinchu. After several years of reproduction, dozens of bamboos will form together, one cluster after another, and there is no position to lower the feet.

The bamboo planted by Yuan Mei on the southern foot of Xiaocang Mountain is clustered with bamboos. Over the past few decades, this bamboo sea has become like a huge, airtight bamboo wall, which has strictly divided the southern foot of Xiaocang Mountain and Suiyuan.

Gao Liugeng walked so hard! In order to avoid being noticed by the Qing army on the mountain, he walked carefully, for fear that large areas of snow would fall on his head if the movement was too heavy. He walked for more than two hundred meters, and his face and hands were covered with bloody mouths.

Just as he was struggling to walk through the bamboo sea, the Qing army, who had some rest, launched a second round of attack on the echo gate along the Taohua Dike. Compared to facing enemies pressing up in a line on the rockery, Taohua Dike is relatively easy to defend here.

The dike that only allowed three people to run parallel made the Qing army's formation unable to be moved, and the mountain-splitting cannons had not been transported yet, so they could only hide behind two shield cars and slowly advance. As expected, the attack failed quickly. When Wu Ni, who led the team, saw that he had to send someone to notify Cheng Ce and let him transport two mountain-splitting cannons. Without this, he really couldn't fight.

After the Qing army retreated for a meal, there was no movement. Tao Laojiu and the others quickly felt that something was wrong. In addition to the occasional gunshots sounded from the opposite side of the lake, the Taohua Dike was too quiet!

Although they could blow up the gate when they couldn't stand it, it was just a forced method. Now their mission is to spend time with the Qing army. If they can drag one point, they will win as long as the people from the special operations camp arrive.

So, Tao Laojiu, who was honest, turned his eyes and asked several team members to concentrate the remaining grenades on their bodies. He redistributed the remaining more than 300 bullets, leaving one person to guard the fuse of the explosives, and then took the other two and touched them along the way, intending to launch a sneak attack.

Snowflakes drifted down from the sky, and the lakes on both sides of the Taohua Dike were foggy. Because the road on the embankment was narrow, Tao Laojiu and the other two did not form a "three-three formation" either, but just a simple column. If they encounter an enemy, the two people walking behind would quickly disperse to the left and right, thus forming a cross firepower to protect Tao Laojiu from rushing forward quickly.

After the fierce battle, there was a stream of blood, dull and turbidity in the air. The smoke of gunpowder was wrapped in moisture, attached to the broken lotus leaves on the lake surface, on the embankment, and on the human body, for a long time, refused to spread.

When they arrived more than fifty meters away from the east exit of Taohua Dike, someone suddenly heard a loud shout: "Who is it!"

"Shoot the arrow!"

Several Qing soldiers shouted deceitfully, and a few whizzing sounds rang out. Sharp plum needle arrows cut through the snow fog and landed on the path above the three of them.

"What a fool!" Tao Laojiu thought so, he was very sure that the Qing army did not find him and the other three.

When they continued to crawl forward for more than twenty meters and could see the Qing army, Tao Laojiu felt that it was time to attack. He nodded to the other two, so the three of them took out a grenade from their back bags, pulled the pull ring hard, chanted it in their hearts for three times, and then threw it out.
