Chapter 628: Tartar is gone?
Chapter 628: Are the Tartars missing?
Dorgon didn't know about Duoduo's counterattack at the gap. At this moment, Dorgon was walking out of the cellar carefully. It was quiet around him, and there was no other sound except the occasional painful moans of the wounded. The intermittent moans added a bit of silence out of thin air, making people feel very uneasy, as if they were a little creepy.
The artillery bombardment of the Hu Ben Navy seemed to have really stopped, and it did not carry out the shelling for a long time. After Dorgon, the other remaining Tartars also carefully ran out of their hiding place and slowly moved outward to the outside. There was no way, they did not dare to get too far from their hiding place. Otherwise, once the artillery shells of the Hu Ben Navy continued to fall, they would suffer a catastrophe again.
"Everyone let go and find a place to fight yourself."
"God of Eternal Life blesses you!"
Dorgon said weakly.
Under the tyranny of the Hu Ben Army's naval cannon, it is not realistic to fight back against the Hu Ben Army at the city gate. If they appeared near the city gate now, they would immediately be brutal shelling and eventually died in vain. The only thing they can do now is the Tatars fight on their own, to see if there is a chance to fight against the Hu Ben Army who came into the city. One can fight one, two can fight one can earn one.
"Let's go!"
After giving orders to fight each other, Dorgon also quietly sank into the unknown alley with his own soldiers. The other Tartars looked at me and I looked at you, and they were helpless and dejected to find a place to hide themselves. Soon, in the open space, there was no longer any Tartars that could be moved.
...
Outside the north gate of Dengzhou City, Zhang Yin brought his own group of people to quickly approach the city gate. There was no movement at all on the head of the city, and the expected musket shooting and bows and arrows shooting did not appear. The soldiers responsible for monitoring behind did not even see a single Tartar. Since the Tartars cooperated so much, the Hu Ben Army would be welcome.
"Explosive pack!"
"superior!"
Gao Yu, who arrived, waved his hand vigorously.
The Marine Corps also used fifty kilograms of explosives. However, they just put ten such explosives into the city gate hole. Since Zhang Zhun estimated that 500 kilograms of black explosives could meet the needs, they saved a little. After a moment, all the 500 kilograms of black explosives were piled up. After the blasting hand lit the fuse, he ran away quickly.
"Boom!"
A earth-shaking loud noise came, and gunpowder filled with smoke and debris flew everywhere.
After the smoke of gunpowder dissipated, the north gate tower of Dengzhou City collapsed without exception, forming a steep slope. On the slope, a large number of bricks, gravel and soil rolled down one after another. The various debris that were flew into the air by the violent explosion also fell down at this time, as if it was a strange rain that smashed everything around.
"superior!"
Gao Yu waved his hand and rushed forward with his team.
The Tartars in Dengzhou City had no response at all. I don’t know if they were blinded by the bombing or had no counterattack power, so I let the Hu Ben Army climb up the slope. The slope made of bricks, gravel, and soil was very difficult to walk. Gao Yu, Zhang Yin and others were all staggering and coughing constantly during this period. Fortunately, they had never suffered from the Tartars’ counterattack.
After a while, Gao Yu and the others came up to the top of the slope. He calmed down and raised the Qianli Miles Miles and looked around carefully. What surprised him was that there was not a single Tartar near the gap! Yes, he didn't see a single Tartar in the Qianli Miles Miles!
"No one?"
Gao Yu looked at the seal beside him with confusion and said to himself.
"Maybe it was hiding."
The seal felt very strange. After carefully searching around, after the smoke gradually dissipated, they finally found the hiding place of the Tartars. It turned out that the Tartars were hiding, whether intentionally or unintentionally, the place where they hid was more than ten feet away from the city gate hole. As a result, when the gate hole was blown down, they were not seriously damaged. Because the smoke at the explosion site dissipated very slowly, Gao Yu had not discovered them just now.
"The Tartars have not many troops."
Gao Yu's heart was slowly let go.
Most of the main forces of the Tartars may be in the south city and the north city, and only a small number of Tartars were seen. No rebels were seen yet. After the smoke of gunpowder slowly drifted away, there were only about fifty or sixty people in Gao Yu's sight. In terms of number, there were indeed not many. Logically speaking, there should be at least five hundred Tartars in a key position like the North Gate. There were only a few dozen, which was indeed too few.
"Kill them and move forward."
Gao Yu shouted decisively.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
The Marines at the gap fired one after another.
There were indeed not many Tartars in the north city. When they found that the city gate had been blown up, they looked a little confused for a moment. Perhaps they were afraid of the thick black smoke formed by the explosion and the choking smell of gunpowder, these Tartars did not counterattack immediately. As a result, when the Hu Ben Army gained a foothold, they immediately became the targets of shooting.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
The Marines kept firing, and Minnie bombs kept whizzing past.
Those sporadic Tartars had no chance to resist under the shooting of Minnie bombs, and fell one after another. Someone tried to bend their bows and arrows and fight back at the Marines, but were hit by Minnie bombs and then fell to the ground. The remaining Tartars quickly turned around and ran away, quickly sneaking into the broken building and disappeared.
At this time, the team led by Zhu Chengtai also came up. The two teams of Tiger Ben Marines naturally had no problem dealing with dozens of Tartars who were bombed in a bit confused. Unfortunately, all Tartars were like mice, and all their movements disappeared quickly. No matter how fast Minnie bombs were, they could not be faster than their escape speed.
Afterwards, Lu Liangyu's team also came up quickly. A moment later, Fang He and Liu Dong also came up. Near the gap, there were already all Marine soldiers. They also went up the city walls on both sides and carefully searched for the remaining Tartars. As a result, no one was found. Except for some Tartars' bodies, there was no living Tartar. This abnormal situation quickly reflected the situation in each team.
"Will the two bosses be cheating?"
Lu Liangyu said cautiously.
The Tartars' counterattack was indeed too weak, a bit incredible. According to their original estimate, the Tartars would definitely fight back to the death. The battle for the breakthrough would definitely be very fierce. The officers were even prepared for certain casualties. As a result, when they climbed the breakthrough, they found that all the Tartars had disappeared. No wonder they were suspicious, it was indeed too abnormal.
"Cover each other and move forward slowly."
Fang He thought for a moment and said in a deep voice.
"Be careful."
Liu Dong also said cautiously.
The Tartars' counterattack was too small, which always gave people the feeling of luring the enemy into the depths. The Marine Corps had only 300 people, and relatively speaking, the strength was relatively weak. If they fell into the ambush circle of the Tartars, the situation would be more troublesome. Therefore, the two of them did not dare to take it lightly. Fortunately, they had liaison officers and naval flags. As long as they waved the red pennant in their hands, the navy cannons could be smashed over.
After discussing with Liu Dong, Fang He decided that Lu Liangyu's team was in the middle, Gao Yu's team was on the left, and Zhu Chengtai's team was on the right, advancing in unison. The distance between them was definitely no more than a street. If you find that something was wrong, you immediately retreat to the vicinity of the breakthrough, and then call on the navy's cannon to cover it.
Every Marine soldier was carrying a tiger gun and slowly moved forward. He looked around with his eyes vigilantly. The buildings around the North City were basically riddled with holes, which was beyond recognition. Many buildings had collapsed, leaving many gaps and pits in the middle to hide people. If there were Tartars hiding in it, it would be difficult to distinguish. However, strangely, they advanced all the way and walked through many buildings, but there was not a Tartar in it.
Several commanders of the Marine Corps had to gather together again to discuss the abnormal situation in front of them. The abnormality was too abnormal. The strangeness of the Tartars made them all feel that there must be something wrong with it. They all guessed that the Tartars must have set up traps somewhere and waited for them to fall into it. For safety reasons, they decided to move to the prefect's office and stop moving forward to avoid falling into the Tartars' trap.
Soon, the prefect's office was in sight.
The prefect of Dengzhou Prefecture is actually very magnificent. It used to be the yamen of the Shandong Governor. Later, the Shandong Governor moved to Jinan Prefecture and became the magistrate. Later, the Governor Denglai was established and became the yamen of the Denglai Governor Denglai. However, because everyone is used to calling it, it is still called the magistrate. In fact, its real name should be the Governor Denglai.
The roof and walls of the prefect's office were smashed to a dissatisfaction. The bluestone road in front of the door was also smashed into a bumpy pit. On the steps in front of the prefect's office, a corpse of a Tartar was lying on the stairs in front of the prefect's office, and the blood seemed to have condensed. He was obviously killed by the solid bullets of the Hu Ben Army Navy. Half of his body disappeared and he didn't know where he flew.
"There may be Tartars inside!"
"Be careful, everyone!"
Fang He reminded carefully.
Under the cover of his companions, Zhang Yin rushed in with more than a dozen people.
There is no one inside.
There is not a single Tartar.
Well, to be precise, there was no living Tartar. There were many Tartar bodies lying scattered on the ground, and it seemed that they were killed by solid bullets from the navy. There was a lot of chaos everywhere in the prefect's office. It seemed that there should be people before, but now, no one can see them.
"A careful search."
"See if there are any darkrooms and cellars or something."
Fang He issued an order cautiously.
The Marine Corps soldiers searched carefully everywhere.
Because it was ravaged by the naval cannon, the entire prefectural office looked in chaos, with debris everywhere on the ground, garbage everywhere, and even shit and urine from people. The air was filled with a strong stench. This nauseating stench was so strong that some Marines had to remove paper-shell ammunition and put it in front of their noses. They needed to use the smell of gunpowder to dispel the stench.
"Sir, I found a cellar here!"
Suddenly, a soldier shouted loudly.
The surrounding Marines immediately surrounded this place.
Liu Dong came over and looked carefully and found that this was the warehouse location of the prefect's yamen. There was an entrance to the cellar in the middle of the house. The entrance to the cellar was locked with copper locks, and the door was a thick solid wooden door. Liu Dong pushed it forward, but the wooden door did not move at all.
"Blast it!"
Liu Dong immediately ordered.
Immediately, a blasting hand came up and placed two explosive packs in front of the wooden door.
"Boom!"
A moment later, with a loud bang, the wooden door was blown open.
Zhang Yin and others covered each other and slowly penetrated into the cellar.
The cellar was pitch black and there was nothing to see, so they lit the torches. As a result, when they entered the cellar, they were stunned when they saw everything in front of them.
silver!
Gold!
That's right, all the stored in this cellar are silver and gold! The silver is ingots and ingots, stacked neatly together to form hills. The white light is dazzling. The shape of gold is relatively complex and has everything. The golden light is also dazzling.
The seal cannot estimate how much gold and silver wealth there is in this cellar, in short, it will definitely not be less than 100,000 taels. He picked up a ingot of silver and found that the weight was about five taels. And the silver mountains were estimated to be at least tens of thousands of ingots. The amount of gold might be several thousand taels.
In addition to gold and silver, there are many boxes on the other end of the cellar. They opened the boxes one by one, and there were some jewelry such as pearls, jade, jade, agate, gold necklaces, gold rings, gold earrings, etc., which seemed to be taken from people. Some had vague blood stains on them.
"The Tartars don't even want money?"
Fang He and Liu Dong came into the cellar to take a look, and after being surprised, they were full of suspicion. Indeed, the gold, silver and jewelry in the cellar became even more suspicious. The Tartars disappeared, but the silver was still here. What is the reason? Could it be that the Tartars disappeared out of thin air?
"Seal the cellar!"
"Continue to search for the whereabouts of the Tartars!"
Fang He and Liu Dong made a decision quickly.
As a result, the cellar was soon re-enclosed and the Marines continued to search for traces of the Tartars.
"Have you discovered the Tartars?"
"No."
"Have you discovered the Tartars?"
"No."
Such sounds come one after another.
Chapter completed!
