It was already late at night in Kinmen Fort on the other side of the ocean, and Jiangnan, which is on this end of the Pacific Ocean, has just arrived at dusk.

Although it was only five o'clock, the sky was completely dark because of the snow. At this time, smoke was rising in Jiangning City, and residents were organizing dinner. In Suiyuan, west of the city, there were also fireworks simmering, reflecting the red light in the sky. However, no one was making fires here, but fires were burning one by one.

The materials for burning fire include firewood sent by the Shangyuan County Magistrate, as well as trees cut and demolished buildings from Suiyuan. Especially the plum blossom trees and magnolia trees that caused the Eight Banners of Jingkou to suffer great losses at the "Qunyu Mountain", as well as the "wood door" outside the gate of Suiyuan were cut and demolished. Although it was snowing for a day, the branches of the flowers and trees were tide and wet, and the Qing army could not hold back the tung oil! Each fire was poured into a bucket and it was caught when it saw the fire.

Seeing that the flowers and scenery he had carefully created had all turned into ruins, Yuan Mei, who was holding a telescope in Tianfeng Pavilion, jumped straight to the point of "watching the enemy formation" with a telescope.

After experiencing various setbacks, this arrest operation, which was originally only responsible for the Eight Banners of Jingkou, finally brought in the Eight Banners and Green Camp in Jiangning.

At the end of the Yin Dynasty, after receiving the 50,000 taels of reward silver from Mian En, 1,500 Eight Banners of Jiangning rushed to set off. They carried more than a dozen artillery vehicles and cooperated with the governor of Liangjiang to encircle the entire Suiyuan.

With more people, the style of playing is different. Mianen asked the second general's artillery to be in front of him, and the musketeers were covering him, and slowly contracted inward to encircle the encirclement; at the same time, he dispatched ships to enter the Hanyan Pool, allowing the musketeers and archers to board the ship and attack at the same time on the water and land.

Seeing that the Qing army had changed its previous aggressive advance, launched a siege from several directions, pressing step by step, Gao Liugeng, who was seriously short of ammunition, had no choice but to retreat behind the suspension bridge under the Banshan Pavilion after blowing up Duhe Bridge, relying on temporary construction fortifications to defend.

The reason why Mianen made a big fuss was mainly because the general of Susong Town sent a general Qian in the afternoon, which made him feel unhappy.

At dawn this morning, a North Navy fleet composed of three large ships appeared near Sheshan outside the estuary of the Yangtze River. At the time of Si, the other side took advantage of the rising tide at Wusongkou and crossed Hengsha and Changxingsha in just half an hour to launch a shelling bombardment at the Zhangjiabangkou in Susong Town.

Before, Zhao Xin had caused trouble in Yangzhou twice, and with his super fast ship speed, he retreated to the sea, allowing the Qing court to set up the various forts in Jiangyin, Fushan and Wusongkou to be like waste. Especially the Wusongkou East Fort, because it is too far from the beach, the shells can only hit the tidal flats on the river bank.

In view of this, the Qing court started construction of the Zhangjiabangkou Fort and the north and south turrets of Chongming Island in the 55th year of Qianlong. Each set up fifty cannons, and built a new Wusong Fort with more than 100 cannons from the east and west turrets of Wusong Forts.

During Mianen's inspection, he was very satisfied with the military allocation and defense power at the Yangtze River Estuary. But the problem is that in the 22nd year of Daoguang in another time and space history, the Wusong Fortress Group could not even deal with the British's front-mounted smoothbore guns, let alone the North Navy, which was equipped with rapid-fire breech guns in this time and space, and had the advantage of long-distance shooting.

The Green Camp gunners of the Jiangsu Navy were far inferior to the Eight Banners artillery soldiers of the Beijing Firearms. They not only did not have any common sense in ballistics, but they even did not know the range and power of the North Navy's artillery. In the eyes of these people, cannon shooting is a straight line of piercing; while the earth wall of the one-sided turret is two meters thick, and there are bricks and stones on the outside, which are indestructible.

As a result, the Northern Navy used shrapnel as soon as it came up, and it was still in arc-shaped ballistics. Dozens of 75mm naval guns were violently ravaged, which soon caused heavy casualties to the turret defenders.

In less than half an hour, the fort at Zhangjiabangkou was smashed into ruins, and then the two frigates launched artillery bombardment on the Wusong West Fort and the fort located south of Wuxiao Town, Chongming Island.

When Mian En learned that Zhangjiabangkou was bombarded, the North Navy did not send troops to land. The Qiang General, who reported the message, also revealed a lucky tone while speaking.

Nothing else, the weapons of the Green Camp are really bad. Unlike the Eight Banners Firearms troops in Jiangning, the Jiangsu Green Camp has few firearms equipped with pitifully few, and the long-range firepower is just tiger squat cannons and earth-made cannons with a range of only a few hundred meters.

No matter what, Zhao Zhei's gunboat has arrived, and now it's a big trouble! The other party only hit the cannon and did not land, which is obviously going up the river and heading straight to Jiangning.

According to the speed at which the other party cleaned up the Wusongkou Fort, whether it was Fushan Town or Jiangyin Fort, it would take several days to be destroyed. Although he also responded to the shipwreck, he could not do it unless he had to.

Suiyuan's arrest can no longer be consumed, as it will change later. Jiangnan is not a place to stay for a long time. Yuan Mei's affairs must be handled as soon as possible. Returning to the capital to seize the throne is the first priority.

So after soliciting the suggestions of his aides, he had an emergency consultation with the Governor of Liangjiang Funing and Jiangning General Qinglin, and he used the seal letter of the imperial envoy to order Jiangning to dispatch the Eight Banners and the Central Camp of the Supervisor to work together.

From the busy morning to the present, Mianen has been exhausted physically and mentally. Before she knew it, she became obsessed with her arm leaning on the table.

Suddenly, a noisy shout came from outside the side hall. Then a man in dark green clothes and a round helmet pushed open the hall door and rushed in with a musket with a bayonet about a foot long, and stabbed Mianen without saying a word.

Mianen was shocked and thought to himself that when did the North Sea pirates enter Jiangning City? Why no one called the police? While he was thinking about it, the bayonet with a faint light had already stabbed into his chest. He screamed in pain and realized that it was Nan Ke Yimeng.

"Prince, what's wrong with you?" The person who spoke was Zeng Bao, the deputy commander of the Eight Banners of Jiangning. This person was the Manchu Yellow Banner, and Mian En, who also served as the head of the guards of the Three Banners, was his main son.

"It's okay, it's okay. I'm so confused." Mianen wiped away the sweat from her forehead with lingering fear, picked up the tea on the table and took a sip, and felt her heart beating still.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! "Your Majesty, you have been working hard for a day, why don't you go and have a rest first?"

"No need!" Mianen shook his head slightly and said to Zengbao: "You are here, I'll go ahead and take a look. If Susong Town reports urgently, please inform me immediately." After that, he grabbed the cloak on the back of the chair, raised his foot and left the side hall.

The snow outside is still falling, much smaller than during the day. However, perhaps because of the dream just now, Mianen felt that a storm was coming.

The uninvited North Navy fleet and Jiaqing, who was far away in the capital, all showed their fangs and showed their fierce lights. Mianen seemed to be able to feel their cruel breathing and approached him step by step.

A few cannons suddenly came from a distance, followed by a dense sound of musket shooting like a sudden rain, which continued. At the same time, the sound of cannons also sounded on the back mountain of Yongqing Temple. The continuous roar of guns and cannons, and the snow on the cypress trees in the temple was shaken and fell.

Although Gao Liugeng destroyed two cannons on the back mountain in the afternoon, with the arrival of the Eight Banners of Jiangning, two more cannons were transported up. This time, the Qing army didn't care whether they could see clearly or not, and set off in the direction of Tianfeng Pavilion. After firing more than ten cannons, the cannon body was so hot that it rested for half an hour, and now it started again.

Standing in the corridor, the cold wind blew, Mianen's chaotic mood gradually calmed down. He strode out of the yard with a meteor, and more than a dozen heavy-armored guards followed closely behind. The group got on horse outside the gate of Yongqing Temple and headed straight for Suiyuan.

In Suiyuan, on the northeast direction leading to the Nanshan Suspension Bridge, that is, on the lake embankment on the west side of Duhe Bridge that was blown off, the Qing army used earth, stone and wood to fill an area of ​​dozens of square meters, which was slightly higher than the height of the previous lake embankment. The two two general guns that had just been pushed up opened fire on the south bank of the suspension bridge in turn. On the lake embankment in the northwest direction of the suspension bridge, two guns were also firing in turn.

Behind the side and rear of these artillery, dozens of other Qing troops carrying muskets and two people were watching the burning tung oil torches on the ground fifty meters away, and they would immediately open fire as long as someone swayed.

Not far behind them was a team of guards sent by Mianen. Under the light and shadow of torches, a guard was seen holding a large order in his hand, while the rest were holding big swords, and blood was already seen on the blade.

Mianen used the king's order flag to mobilize the Eight Banners and the Supervisor's Central Camp, and gave a heavy reward and also gave a death order. Those who escaped at the battle were killed on the spot.

On the water surface on the east and west sides of the suspension bridge, there were several small boats swimming. Some of the Qing soldiers on it held bows, some of them were holding guns, and stood behind signs that were more than half a person high. Once they found someone on the suspension bridge, they immediately beat the gong to warn them. When they were attacked from the direction of the suspension bridge, they would quickly retreat to the east side of the Yuanyang Pavilion to avoid it.

At the same time, in the simple bunker on the south side of the suspension bridge, Tao Laojiu, who was seriously injured, grabbed Gao Liugeng's wrist and said weakly: "Liugeng, don't waste that effort...I can't get through today."

Under the light and dark light, Tao Laojiu's face turned pale and was as angry as a wandering stream. Gao Liugeng felt sad, but he still comforted him: "Laojiu, you are also a hero who broke out from the crowd of guns. Why did you say depressing words? His family is still waiting for you to go back!"

More than 20 minutes ago, Gao Liugeng and Tao Laojiu blew up the Ferry Bridge. When they were retreating, the Qing army on several boats in the Handan Pool opened fire at them. Tao Laojiu, who had broken the back, was shot several times. The guns that hit the upper body were blocked by bulletproof vests, but an iron bullet hit his groin and penetrated his femoral artery.

When he tried his best to run across the suspension bridge, the bleeding had already wet his whole legs. Those who practice martial arts could have some methods to heal trauma, not to mention that Gao Liugen and others had received first aid training from the North Navy, but because they were delayed for too long, it was still too late.

"No...it's really not this time... Zhang Jianzi in the town said before... I will have a great disaster at the age of 27, and it seems that it should be today... My wife and her two children, please..."

As Tao Laojiu talked, he gradually disappeared and his hands fell to the ground.

"Lao Jiu!Lao Jiu!" Gao Liugeng shook the other person's shoulders vigorously, and his tone was already filled with a crying voice.

Tao Laojiu, the famous Tao Liandeng, was from Sishui Town, Kaifeng Prefecture, Henan Province. At the age of eight, he joined the Zhou sect and studied martial arts. He was especially good at big guns, not under Gao Liu Geng.

Uncle Benshan from another time and space said that if someone is in a family, someone must be the inner person. Tao Laojiu is the inner person of the Feng Sect. The most outstanding thing he had in the sect was his experience in Zhili Salt Shop five years ago.

That time, the Chang family and a powerful man with a background in gossip in the salt shop had a conflict. They were kind and even asked someone to talk to each other and had to see the truth. The problem was that the Chang family respected "transferring the family through Confucianism", and fighting fiercely cannot be put on the table.

In the past, Chai Rugui was responsible for such things. The famous Chai Wudi took action and all powerful people had to bow their heads and admit defeat. The problem was that Chai Rugui, Gao Liugeng and Li Qingwen took over the task of the Qing court and went to Beihai Town, so the Chang family sent Tao Laojiu.

Tao Laojiu used one move to kill the opponent's martial artist three times. The powerful man was unwilling to give up and became malicious and set up a trap to kill him in the name of a banquet. Tao Laojiu was unsuspecting to be a fraud and happily came to the door. As a result, he fell into the pre-digged pit of the horse. Immediately afterwards, dozens of young and strong men who were prepared were surrounded by the edge of the pit with bolts, and they stabbed them in a mess.

The powerful man thought that Tao Laojiu would be finished now, but he didn't know that the latter was calm in the face of danger. With his outstanding body skills, he turned around and moved in the pit, and no one could stab him. Then he saw the opportunity and suddenly grabbed the gun and jumped out of the trap with the force. Then, he rushed out of the siege of hundreds of people with a gun and broke out of Zhuangzi.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! During the whole process, he removed the dust from his head, and there was no hole in his clothes, let alone being injured.

"You fuck!"

Gao Liugeng let go of Tao Laojiu, who had lost his temperature, was silent for a moment, and suddenly cursed fiercely in the direction of the suspension bridge. Since the Qing army launched a crazy attack in the afternoon, two of his twelve-man team have sacrificed their squad. The rest, except for the one who had been in charge of telegram contact in Tianfeng Pavilion, including himself, were injured.

In the Tianfeng Pavilion on the south mountain of Suiyuan, listening to the rumbling guns and cannons at the foot of the mountain, Yuan Mei's family and servants hiding there became more and more uneasy. Only Yuan Mei was still sitting on the bed of the Arhat in the inner room, playing the chess score with the go that Zhao Xin gave him.

Although Yuan Zicai, who was nearly eighty years old, looked like an old god, Yuan Tong, who was standing by, could see clearly that except for the first few chess pieces that his father had fallen on the chessboard, were all messy behind him.

"boom!"

Another cannon sounded, and a rock dozens of steps away from Tianfeng Pavilion was hit. The splashing debris fell on the exterior walls and eaves, causing everyone in the hall to exclaim. Yuan Tong could no longer help it. He ignored Yuan Mei's dissuasion gaze and raised his foot out of the house and headed straight to the second floor.

At this time, the second floor was also in a mess, with two team members who were seriously injured and retreated, leaning on the chair. Two servants from the Yuan family were carefully rebanding them with gauze.

If this were the past, Yuan Tong had never seen the blood of humans, he would have been afraid to faint. But after a day, his nerves became much thicker, and he said to the young man who was guarding the radio station: "Brother Chang, what? Is there any news?"

"Crossing the river."

"Oh, when is this time? Please let them hurry up, it will be too late!"
