As summer approaches, the night is getting shorter and shorter. It is already brighter at around five o'clock.

The people under Fengyang City shouted and neighed, and more than 100,000 Qing troops surrounded the city, set up a circle of cannons, and prepared to attack the city.

Thousands of camp tents are densely packed, lined up one after another. Looking down from a high place, I don’t know which camp is a handsome tent?

This is the strategy that the Qing army master Fan Wencheng gave to the commander Duoduo, so that he would not be afraid that Lin Yu would drive an iron armored car to attack the commander's tent, so as not to be captured by the thief to capture the king first.

In order to confuse Lin Yu, Fan Wencheng also proposed to raise sixteen general flags in the army, located in four directions, southeast, west and northwest of Fengyang City, which not only inspires the morale of the army, but also allows Duoduo to avoid the danger of being bombarded.

Duoduo, who is thirty years old, has a tall figure, strong limbs, a hooked nose, and his eyes are in an inverted triangle shape, exuding a fierce and evil aura, which is daunting.

"The Ming army on the city wall is in good order, and it was not scared away!"

Prince Yu of the Qing Dynasty, who was surrounded by stars like a moon, observed the city wall with a thousand-mile mirror, turned his head to ask the military commanders Fan Wencheng and Bellebolo, "How many days can the city gate of Fengyang be blown up?"

Boluo bowed and said, "The Ming army on the city wall is in order, and there are a large number of people who have climbed the city to help with the war. It will take at least three days to break the city, right?"

"Three days?"

Duoduo touched the eagle's nose, "The reinforcements from Nanjing have arrived three days ago. I'm sending me an order. Today I'll blow me hard for a long time. I want to make Fengyang City blood flow into a river!"

"twitter!"

Boluo agreed and went to the artillery battalion in person to arrange a battle to bombard Fengyang.

The reason why the Qing Dynasty was able to enter the pass smoothly was that in addition to Wu Sangui opening the city gate of Shanhaiguan, it was also inseparable from Fan Wencheng's planning and Hong Chengchou's dispatch. It was regarded as the right-hand man by Huang Taiji and Dorgon, and was very relied on.

Duoduo suffered a great defeat in Yangzhou, suffered losses and generals. He reported the battle situation to Dorgon, who was in charge of Beijing, and told Shi Kefa that he had an iron-armored chariot weighing more than 100,000 kilograms in his army. The shells were amazing, which led to his defeat.

Dorgon summoned all the civil and military officials of the court to discuss it, but they all had no idea about this kind of armored car. Dorgon summoned foreigners from Beijing to inquire, and even sent people to Taiwan to ask the Dutch for advice in order to find a way to restrain the armored car.

"I am willing to go to the front line to help Prince Yu avenge his revenge."

Fan Wencheng volunteered to arrive at Duoduo's army quickly and offered a strategy to deal with the armored chariot. Duoduo was overjoyed after hearing this and did everything as he did, almost treating Fan Wencheng as a god.

At this moment, when Duoduo ordered the bombardment of Fengyang, forty-eight-year-old Fan Wencheng tilted his feather fan and chatted and laughed: "Why should you be anxious for a moment? Just destroy Lin Yu's iron armored car? Fengyang City is still in your pocket? As for the people, try to kill as little as possible... My Qing Dynasty is to govern the world, and I can't learn from Temujin!"

Duoduo frowned and said, "You must slaughter Fengyang before you can get a grudge in your heart. I just don't know if your plan is useful? Is this armored chariot really possible?"

"Haha... I have set up a net of heaven and earth, but I am afraid that the iron-armored car will not come." Fan Wen and Cheng Yu shook his fan lightly, looking like he was planning and strategizing.

Duoduo nodded: "This time, not only will the armored vehicles of Can Ming be scrapped, but the reinforcements across the river will be wiped out, and no one will be allowed to be left."

The general Tu Lai Ling suggested: "Liu Liangzuo was scared and ran to Shouzhou to watch. The prince could write a letter to him, promise him a high-ranking official and generous salary, and let him cut off the retreat of reinforcements in Nanjing."

Fan Wencheng shook his head and said, "If our army had not been defeated in Yangzhou, Liu Liangzuo would have surrendered long ago. Now he retreated to Shouzhou and remained silent, just to wait and see the war. If we could not subdue Can Ming's armored chariot, Liu Liangzuo would not have surrendered."

"Bah!"

Duoduo spat, "These Han people are so shameless, they are all fence-bearing!"

He paused and smiled strangely: "Mr. Fan, I admit that I am a genius. Your strategy will definitely have an unexpected effect on the armored chariot. I am not as good as you in terms of strategy, but you are not as good as me in terms of strategy. Do you know that I am playing a big game?"

"Oh... Please give me advice?" Fan Wencheng looked calm and listened.

Duoduo reached out and touched his shiny forehead, raised his lips and smiled, "You must not reveal your secrets. You will definitely be shocked by the time you admire your talents."

While he was talking, several fast horses galloped from the south, crossed the Qing army's positions, and went straight to Duoduo and turned over and dismounted, knelt on one knee: "Report to the prince, reinforcements from Nanjing have passed Liuhe County, and are expected to have entered Laian County at this moment, and are about 300 miles away from Fengyang."

Duoduo frowned slightly: "Our army just arrived at Fengyang City in the middle of the night last night. This morning, the Ming army arrived in Laian, and it was so fast."

Tu Lai Ling was also a little surprised: "This Ming army is a little different from before. When we saw our Qing army, we either fled without fighting or surrendered in sight. This team of men and horses marched towards Fengyang quickly, which was a bit bloody. It seems that some Han people also pee on their feet."

"How many people have come? Who is the chief general? Has the armored chariot ever followed the army?" Duoduo asked in a deep voice with his arms wrapped around his chest.

The scout replied: "When you say that, there are about 50,000 or 60,000 Ming troops coming from Nanjing to aid. I heard that the chief general defeated our Lin Zhenjiang in Yangzhou. He was conferred the title of the governor of Fengyang by Zhu Yousong, and led his army to aid Fengyang. The roof of the armored chariot opened the way in the front."

Fan Wencheng was overjoyed when he heard this: "Haha... It's good that you come, otherwise your hard work will be in vain."

Duoduo was a little surprised: "Oh... this guy was still a deputy garrison a few days ago, but he became the governor in just a few days? Is this what the Han people said, "There is no general in Shu Liao Hua as a pioneer?"

"Tsk... I think Zhu Yousong is smart. If the Ming army does not have an iron armored vehicle, it would be like a meat bun to beat a dog when they come to rescue Fengyang!" Wakda, the leader of the cavalry battalion next to him, interrupted.

Duoduo glared at Wakda: "Who do you think is a dog? You are a dog. Your whole family is a dog. You will talk through your brain in the future!"

"Yes, I'm a dog, our whole family is a dog!"

Wakda scratched his bare scalp awkwardly, thinking to himself that we are not a family, our surname is Aisin Gioro.

Tu Lai Ling said again: "I just received a letter from Prince Abatai who quickly sent him a letter saying that his army led by King Pingxi had arrived in Yingchuan, three hundred miles away from Fengyang and one hundred and fifty miles away from Shouzhou. Should I continue to march towards Fengyang, or do I run to Shouzhou to encircle and suppress Liu Liangzuo?"

Duoduo made a decision after thinking for a moment: "I ordered Abatai and Wu Sangui to split into two groups. Wu Sangui led his troops to Fengyang. Abatai went to Huoqiu, bypassed Shouzhou and ran to Dingyuan, and seized the retreat of Lin Zhenjiang. I want to wipe out the support army in order to vent my hatred."

Fan Wencheng shook his feather fan and said with a smile: "Why let Prince Rao Yu take a detour and let him lead his troops to Shouzhou. Although Liu Liangzuo will not surrender for the time being, he will definitely not dare to start a war. When he learned that our army would definitely continue to flee south when he was killed, he would save seventy or eighty miles."

Not long after, Boluozer Malay News: "Report to the prince, our army's artillery is ready and you can attack the city at any time!"

Duoduo's eyes closed slightly, his murderous aura was revealed: "Blame the city for me, I want Fengyang to turn into ashes!"

Duoduo said as he danced: "Hmph... There are nearly two million people in Fengyang City now. If this shell goes down, it may cause white brains. Hehe... It smells so good!"

"How many flowering shells are there in the army? Pull them out and use them. I want to blow Fengyang up and rot!"

When it comes to killing, Dodo enters a state of extreme madness, as if this is the most interesting thing in the world for him.

[ps: A brief statement about whether there were any flower bullets in the late Ming Dynasty. Historians have been arguing about this issue, but it has not yet concluded.

Many evidence and documents show that there were flowering bullets in the late Ming Dynasty. For example, Nurhaci was injured by fragments of the flowering bullet and died of infection after returning to Shenyang.

Yuan Chonghuan also mentioned in his memorial that "one shot is in a ten miles of decay". Of course, Yuan Dudu made a big blow and made a special blow, but this also proves from the indirect evidence that there were flower bullets in the late Ming Dynasty. Otherwise, how could you make a ten miles of decay if you have a solid blow?

Later, the Eight-Nation Alliance invaded China and once discovered a large number of flowering bullets in an abandoned Ming Dynasty arsenal in Beijing. It was surprised that it was even more advanced than that in Europe.

Zuo Zongtang, a magistrate of the Qing Dynasty, also mentioned in the "Complete Works of Duke Zuo Xiang", that the Ming army had flowering firecrackers. The article records that there were more than 200 flowering firecrackers in the city tower of Zuo Fengxiang Prefecture, and there were ocean cannons in the west city of Pingliang Prefecture, with the words "Wanli" and "Zhongjian Hu" engraved on them, and the rest were decapitated. However, the sharp weapon has been in China for more than 300 years.

As for why the flowering bullets gradually disappeared from the army in the Qing Dynasty, some historians believed that the Qing court suffered losses in flowering bullets, so they restricted the production of such weapons, and believed that the strength of the army should still rely on horseback and archery, so the Qing army gradually disappeared.

Although the flowering bullets in the Ming Dynasty cannot be compared with the grenades in the 19th century, it does not mean that the flowering bullets in the Ming Dynasty did not.

As for whether there were any flower bullets in the Ming Dynasty, historians still need to study and argue, and the swordsmen will not make much comments.

Since there is no final conclusion, the swordsman adopted the view that there was a flowering bullet in the late Ming Dynasty. After all, this is a novel and cannot be used as a historical paper.]
