Seeing that the brothers under his hands had been filled, Kong Sixi took a small red flag, waved it hard, and shouted: "Grandpa Cannon God, Master Confucius, bless! Amen! Ignite"

Of course he is not a Catholic, but he just secretly learned "Western spells" from his Portuguese teacher, so he had to recite a sentence before every shot, which was very effective. Anyway, he had been playing with cannons for so many years and had never encountered a blowout.

"Amen!" A gunner also recited the "spoken" and closed his hands together to bow to the cannon before lit the lead with the torch. Then he looked nervously at the hissing lead.

Although the Qing Dynasty is now strict and the coated servants responsible for casting cannons are all conscientious, technical problems cannot be solved by cutting their heads. Even English after the Industrial Revolution, for a long time (more than 100 years after the Industrial Revolution) could not achieve a yield rate of nearly 100% of casting cannons. It was not until the hollow casting process appeared in the mid-19th century that the problem of casting cannons was completely solved.

Therefore, the Red Cannons used by the Qing army also had a very high probability of explosion!

The lead wire was sparking and it quickly burned into the fire door. Suddenly, a fire flashed out of the fire door, followed by a thick smoke from the muzzle, and then the earth was shaking loudly.

A stone bullet was sprayed out of the muzzle and rolled towards the Fengyang City Wall more than three miles away. It quickly turned into a black dot and hit a section of rammed earth wall at a speed visible to the naked eye.

A hole suddenly appeared on the city wall, and a burst of sand and soil were raised. If you observe carefully with a telescope, you can find that mud of all sizes is rolling down.

"I'm hit!" Kong Sixi shouted, "It's a good luck to hit it!"

The gunners around him also cheered: "It's a good luck to hit it."

Kong Youde, who was watching behind a chest wall, also put down the telescope in his hand and breathed heavily: "Okay! A hole was made, Fengyang City is indeed not very strong. We have set up 20 red cannons. One cannon can fire at least 12 stone bullets in one hour, 20 cannons are 240 rounds, and 12 hours a day is more than 2,800 rounds! At most two days, the Fengyang city wall can be knocked down!"

He was going to let it go! The rammed earth city wall like Fengyang was destroyed by Gao Yingxiang once again, but it was repaired in a hurry, and it was not very strong at all. 20 red cannons would probably collapse after a day.

Shang Kexi patted his chest and said to Shuo Zhan: "Meile Zhangjing, as long as the broken city wall in Fengyang collapses, we will lead the troops to charge and take down Fengyang City within one day!"

The subordinates of King Shangkexi of Zhishun had caught the "tongue" before and found out clearly. The troops guarding Fengyang were not many, just two assistants under Zhongdu Liukou and a regiment of the Left Army of the New Army overcoming difficulties. Adding one piece would cost five or six thousand people. Kong Youde, Shangkexi and Bai Guangen had a total of more than 30,000 troops, which was an overwhelming advantage!

"Okay!" Shuo Zhan focused his attention, "That official reported to King Su for two days to demolish the Fengyang city wall, and one day to take down Fengyang city!"

"Okay, just report it to Prince Su like this!"

In fact, Haoge did not make the requirement to break the city in three days. It was Shuozhan's own decision to add the code, and now it seems that it can be completed.

"Take Fengyang City in three days, haha, it seems that Monk Kong Youde is still a little capable!"

Haoge received a military newspaper sent by Shuozhan in Yingwu Acropolis, twenty or thirty miles east of Donghao River.

"Prince," Obai, who was sweating all over his face, immediately came up, "Now I am afraid that the southern invaders over Dingyuan will go north to Fengyang according to the report of the horses. There will be 40,000 to 50,000 people there. If they go north, Monk Kong Youde will have to retreat, so he will have to withdraw his troops."

"No, no, no, no, no!" Haoge put down the Tang newspaper at hand, picked up a paper fan on the broken table next to him and slapped the wind hard. "There are too few horses in the Southern Knights, so they can only concentrate to protect the left and right, and it is not enough to see if they want to spread it. So they don't know our specific location at all, and their every move is under our surveillance. The Southern Knights want to go north to Fengyang, Kong Youde and Shang Kexi, and Bai Guangen has enough time to escape. At most, they can retreat to the Huaihe Bridgehead to deal with the Southern Knights. And we just went south, even if we couldn't cross the Yangtze River, we could still plunder the river by the river. Wouldn't it be pleasant?"

"It's still the prince's wise," Oboi showed a complimentary smile, "Let's go south next?"

"Of course!" said Haoge, "Let's go around Dingyuan, traverse the pool water directly, and camp at Daqinling."

"Go to Daqinling?" Oboi was stunned, "Isn't you going to drink the Yangtze River?"

"Haha, you know how to grab people and things. Why don't you make any progress in reading "The Analects of Confucius" every day these days?" Haoge smiled, "Actually, I want to grab one quickly, but the Southern Cong in Dingyuan will probably not ignore us. Although they are mainly infantry, they run slowly. If they are chased by them all the way, they will be unhappy!"

"Oh," Obai nodded, "Does the prince want to fight against Nanko in Daqinling?"

Haoge smiled without saying a word.

Obai thought and said again: "But we only have more than 18,000 people on hand, are we a little less? If we want to protect our victory, we have to wait for Kong Youde to come to the south."

"Of course, 18,000 is less, and most of them are really Manchu, and they can't afford it!" Haoge smiled, "But Nankou dared not to come here, let's confront them in the Daqinling area. After Kong Youde and Shang Kexi and others took Fengyang, they would then be transferred together. At that time, the two groups would have 40,000 to 50,000, and the initiative to fight or not will be used. How much will the Southernkou have a chance to win?

Even if they win, our Eight Banners True Manchus will not suffer much loss. At worst, we can retreat to Fengyang Prefecture City. In terms of the overall situation, Fengyang Prefecture City is in hand, so we are still the winners!"

"Great!" Obai was overjoyed when he heard this, "Prince, you are really tall, Obai admires you!"

The momentum of the 18,000 cavalry (the coat slaves also have horses) is quite amazing! Even if the light cavalry sent by Zhu Cixuan was suppressed by the Eight Banners soldiers and could not be reconnaissed in close proximity, they could still judge a rough idea by observing the smoke and dust aroused by the advance of a large number of cavalrymen from afar.

The news that the Tartar cavalry brigade marches through the pool and marchs towards Chuzhou was soon sent to Zhu Cixuan, who was stationed in Dingyuan.

"What? Bypassing Dingyuan and heading south? What do the Tartars want to do?"

Haoge's deployment was obviously beyond Zhu Cilang's expectations. Although he was cunning and cruel, he had many ways to make money. However, when it comes to war, he was actually half an amateur. He was in Dagukou and Duolong, the number one warrior in Manchuria, but that was a special situation. It was based on the sudden rise of the Ming army, which had always been very useless. It was completely beyond Duolong and Geng Zhongming's expectations, and then he won a great victory in vain.

But his current opponents, Haoge and Oboi, have already grasped the awesome situation of the new army overcoming difficulties, and will not foolishly bump into the preset position set up by Zhu Cixuan!

Even if they want to collide, they will not use their precious Eight Banners soldiers to collide! With Kong Youde, Shang Kexi, Bai Guangen has tens of thousands of traitors under his command, so he will use the Eight Banners soldiers to kill him? With this IQ, can the Qing Dynasty be opened?

Once the IQ of the Tartars is on the line, it is not that easy to defeat them!

"Your Highness," military advisor Li Yan suggested, "I suggest that you go to the south and concentrate the entire army to go north and attack the Tartars around Fengyang Prefecture City first!"

Wu Sanfu shook his head: "No, no, the Tartars' ranger whistle must be sprinkled between Dingyuan and Fengyang. As soon as our soldiers move, the Tartars on Fengyang will know soon. At that time, they will shrink to the Huaihe River and build a fortress to defend. What should we do? Do we have to attack for a strong force?
