The clouds slowly crossed the hill to the south, revealing their true form.Where are the clouds, but the individual spherical floats gathered together, there are too many, and they look like clouds from afar.Zilharang was in Beijing, defeated by Wang Shuo's hot air balloon and died, and the Manchus did not know anything from top to bottom.The Manchu Qing also sent a secret agent, and when the secret agent returned, he naturally described the appearance of the hot air balloon.Du Tong looked at the pile of things that were gradually approaching, and couldn't help but think in his heart, this could not be the legendary hot air balloon in Wang Shuo's army, wait for the clouds to get closer, Du Tong finally determined, this should be the legendary hot air balloon, similar to the description of the secret agent.If this is Wang Shuo's hot air balloon, then, the army that attacked the city at dawn was not the rebellious minorities and bandits in the mountains, but Wang Shuo's army, oh my God, Wang Shuo's army came over, why did they get here at this moment The hot air balloon has approached the city wall, and it is too late to do anything else, so they have to order the soldiers loudly: "Go to the city to defend the firearms battalion, and shoot down the things in the sky" The hot air balloon lowered its height while approaching the city wall, and the muskets of the Qing army in the city rang out.After all, the power of the Qing army's musket was limited, and when it hit the wicker basket under the hot air balloon, it was generally impenetrable and basically could not be lethal.Hitting the hot air balloon, that is, piercing a small eye on the hot air balloon, will not affect the normal flight of the hot air balloon.The Qing army could only helplessly watch as these hot air balloons slowly flew up to the city, and under the rising sun, a huge black shadow shrouded the city wall.Then, dense small black dots rained down on the city from the hot air balloons, and explosions rang out on and around the city walls.Orange-red flames bloomed everywhere, and black smoke rose from the city walls, and soon the city was in flames.The Qing soldiers were blown up and their flesh and blood flew sideways, and they all looked for cover to hide, and there was no time to shoot back.Taking advantage of this effort, ropes were thrown from the hot air balloon baskets, and black shadows climbed down one by one.Outside the city, the mournful horn sounded again on the hill, and the Northwest sergeants shouted and jumped up from the snow on the hillside, stepping on the knee-deep snow, and charged bravely towards the old city of Hetuala.It turned out that the non-commissioned officers of the Northwest Army did not leave the city far.Wang Shuo wanted to learn from the Korean War, so he would naturally prepare a white cloth for each soldier as a cover.The soldiers lay down in the snow and covered their bodies with white cloths, and the people were the same color as snow.When the Qing army looked from the city, where could they find Feng Qishan, a non-commissioned soldier of the Northwest Army who was in ambush not far away, jumped from the rope to the head of the city, and loudly ordered the soldiers who had gone down to the ground to assemble and attack the city gate.After the chaos just now, the Qing army also began to react, they came out of the bunker where they were hiding, picked up the weapons in their hands, and began to counterattack.A Qing soldier watched Feng Qishan wave his arms and shout loudly, so he picked up the musket in his hand and fired a shot at him.The shooting accuracy of the Qing army's muskets was so poor that the guns flew one step away from Feng Qishan.The deputy commander personally led the team to attack, how could there be no protection around Before the Qing army did not shoot, the guards around Feng Qishan had already discovered the situation, but they didn't have time to react.At this moment, the guard had already taken out the revolver in his waist, and shot the Qing army directly.Feng Qishan was not satisfied, and loudly scolded the guards: "Try not to use a gun" The revolver can only hold six bullets, and he will use it again at the critical moment of attacking the city gate.The revolvers of the whole army were collected and distributed to the six hundred commandos, just so that they could smoothly open the city gates and let in the large army outside the city.The Qing army released a musket and needed to reload the ammunition, and by this time the Northwest soldiers on the hot air balloon had all fallen to the ground and began to gather together to launch an attack on the city gate.The Qing army had no time to reload ammunition, so they threw away their muskets, drew their waist knives, and came to block the advance of the Northwest Army.And the aristocratic temporary soldiers organized in the city, who were directly cold weapons, also gathered together at this time and rushed towards the Northwest Army.Feng Qishan waved the golden-backed mountain chopping knife in his hand, and took the lead to kill the surging Qing army.This big knife has followed him since he was the village chief of Yongping Fort, killing countless intruders and countless Qing troops.With the modernization of the army, he has not had the opportunity to use a knife for a long time, but the martial arts in his hand have not been lost.He swung his big knife and cut down the two Qing troops in an instant, and the soldiers of the Northwest Army were also armed with cold weapons, shouting to kill the Qing army.In close combat, the musket has little effect, and the six hundred soldiers selected by Feng Qishan are also martial arts experts in cold weapon combat in the past, and they are not ambiguous in fighting.At this time, the Qing army was no worse than the Northwest Army.Their soldiers are not easy to use muskets, but they are experts in using cold weapons, plus those old and retired nobles in the old city of Hetuala, they can survive until retirement, and they are all masters.The two sides can be said to be evenly matched, dividing several piles at the head of the city and under the city, sacrificing their lives to fight, and both suffered heavy casualties.After all, a hot air balloon is not a helicopter, and it is impossible to drop everyone to one location so accurately, which creates conditions for the Qing army to encircle the Northwest Army commando respectively.Feng Qishan knew that the Qing army had an absolute advantage in numbers, and it was only possible to open the city gate if all the soldiers were gathered together and rushed in one direction towards the city gate.He took the 200 soldiers around him and rushed to the other place where his own soldiers gathered.The Northwest Sergeant in that place also understood what their commander meant, and they were also desperately moving closer to Feng Qishan.After all, the Qing army was outnumbered, and if a group of soldiers were dispersed, the soldiers who kept coming from other places would immediately fill the vacancy.When Feng Qishan killed the city and gathered all the scattered soldiers together, these elites were less than four hundred people, and many of them were wounded.His eyes were blood-red, and he shouted: "Brothers, 20,000 brothers outside the city are waiting for us, we are all dying here today, and we must open the city gate and charge" The Northwest Army roared in unison, followed Feng Qishan, and rushed towards the city gate.No matter how stupid the Qing army is, he knows what Feng Qishan is going to do at this moment.Once the gates were opened, they were finished.He arranged a temporary army composed of nobles to intercept Feng Qishan, gathered his only remaining musket army, and formed a musket array near the city gate to wait for it.The Northwest Army outside the city has not yet approached the city wall, he must use this short time to completely eliminate the enemy army in the city After a desperate and bloody battle, Feng Qishan finally took the remaining commando soldiers to kill a bloody road and approached the city gate hole.A large number of Qing troops behind him were pursuing, and at the entrance of the city gate, hundreds of Qing troops had already lined up in a horizontal line, and the muzzles of muskets were pointed straight at them.Feng Qishan did not hesitate, and shouted: "Use the pistol, advance" The soldiers followed Feng Qishan's example, brushed and took out their pistols, and without any evasion, they faced the musket formation of the Qing army, and moved forward while shooting.The muskets of the Qing army rang out, and large blue smoke rose from the direction of the city gate
