Shulk, who became stronger in the seventh year of Shunzhi, was a young man who grew up after entering Manzhou. If it weren't for the excessive losses of the Eight Banners of Manzhou in the south, he wouldn't have become a leader.

Compared with the Eight Banners of Manzhou before the Qing army entered the pass, the new generation of flag directors after entering the pass was obviously unable to compare with their fathers and grandparents, especially the Manzhou soldiers who had experienced a crushing defeat, who were already afraid of the Taiping Army in their bones.

Take Shulk's 400 Manzhou soldiers as an example. Most of them escaped from Yangzhou. In the eyes of the Koreans, they are still invincible Manzhou soldiers. But in fact, their fighting will is far less than that of those green camp soldiers, and they are even less than that of the Koreans. This is like the border troops of the Ming Dynasty back then, fearing Manzhou is like a tiger, but being as fierce as a tiger to bandits.

Shulk saw that among the riots, there were Taiping Army mixed in, and the Manzhou soldiers could also see that the medicine bag was so familiar to them. At this moment, everyone in Manzhou was really discolored.

Shulk wanted to escape from Wei County immediately, but he didn't dare because Bellutantai couldn't spare him. In the end, Shulk gave up the idea of ​​escaping. At least, he couldn't run away now. There were more than 7,000 defenders in Wei County. It would be too embarrassing to escape if the enemy was scared to escape before they even attacked the city.

Wei County has four walls. After Wei Dalong and Yu Qi discussed, they concentrated all their troops to attack the East Gate and vowed to succeed in one blow.

The North Korean bird gun masters on the city checked the fuse and ammunition over and over again under the command of the officers. Because they were too scared, some young Korean soldiers even installed too much gunpowder. If they had not been reminded by their companions, they would have blown up the guns when they fired.

Manzhou people have already passed Han Juyuan to demand that the North Koreans must hold on to the end. All Shen Liu can do now is to obey orders. Apart from that, he has no choice because he has no way out.

Park Jung-tae's death made Shin Liu realize that he was too careless before. He did not expect that the rioters would have such powerful firearms. Fortunately, the other party did not seem to have brought much, and there were no artillery, which allowed the North Koreans to be assured and bold as the protection of the Weixian City Wall to fully utilize the power of the shotgun.

"The enemy is coming!"

With the shouts of the Korean soldiers, the rebels under the city finally moved.

Seeing that the rioters in front were in line, and each of them had a musket, Shen Liu frowned, and the tip of the nose of the inspector Jin Daquan next to him was also covered in sweat.

Seeing that there were hundreds of people carrying thick woods behind the Qing Dynasty's rioters, but there were no ladders and other cities climbing equipment, Jin Daquan couldn't help but guess: "General Shen, do the Qing people want to break open our city gate?"

Just from the other party's posture, it seemed that Shen Liu could not see more intentions of the rioters of the Qing Dynasty. He knew that Jin Daquan was the confidant of the king and had never been to the battlefield, so he planned to let him and his nephew Shentong go down to the city to avoid any mistakes in the city. After all, there were also a large number of guns in the rioters of the Qing Dynasty. When they were shot, the guns had no eyes, and no one knew who the guns would hit.

Just as I was about to speak, I heard a shout of call from the rioters under the city, followed by the sound of "bang bang" muskets.

The navy and marines took the lead in firing guns, and rows of gunmen fired guns at the head of Wei County. The Koreans on the city responded quickly and shot guns from a high place to a high place. The muskets used by both sides were fuselage guns, and the shooting distance was almost the same. However, the Koreans had the upper hand in shooting because of the city walls and the condescending height. However, the performance was limited, because the Marines stopped the critical point of the range of the musket. Going forward, the probability of hitting the gun increased; in the future, their own guns could not hit the target.

Unlike the Koreans on the city who wanted to kill and kill the enemy as much as possible, Wei Dalong just wanted to suppress the firearms on the city as much as possible, rather than shooting the defenders.

The two sides fired at the fire with muskets there.

But the Koreans did not expect that when they were busy loading gunpowder, the muskets of the Qing rioters under the city never stopped roaring. Round after round, the sound of the gun never stopped like fried beans.

"put!"

"put!"

In the fourth row and the fifth row, the musketeers in the fifth row kept firing their musketeers at the top of the city, while the musketeers in the first, second and third rows in front were squatting in place and quickly loading medicine.

The height of the city wall is less than five meters. The gunmen of the Navy and Marine Corps can raise the gun slightly, even if they fail to hit the person, they can still suppress the North Korean bird guns at the top of the city. The dense muskets made the Korean soldiers on the top of the city afraid to come out and hide behind the walls uneasy. Although the Qing people's muskets did not kill many people, the roar of the continuous shooting was enough to scare the Koreans.

The enemy's fire guns made Shen Liu realize that they were definitely not rioters, but well-trained army, even stronger than the Ming Dynasty border troops back then.

The Manzhou people and the soldiers of Shandong Green Camp squatted behind the battlements with their ears covered. The chaotic people outside seemed to have no intention of climbing the city, which made the Manzhou soldiers and Green Camp a little ineffective. After all, only the Koreans in the city had muskets, and they used big swords and spears. The Manzhou soldiers were unwilling to give up and used a big bow to shoot arrows down the city, but the distance was a bit far, so the effect was not good.

Wei Dalong did not rush to order the blasting team to attack the gunners and the city. The smoke from the guns on both sides became thicker and thicker after the fire of the muskets, which not only choked, but also made it difficult to see things.

Shen Liu carefully poked his head out and found that the enemy was moving forward more than one foot. The gunners were in a neat step, and the alternating teams of musketeers always kept a row of musketeers able to shoot at the top of the city.

Shen Liu realized that this would not work, because he had more good shotguns under his command than the enemy, but because he was scattered on all four walls of Weixian, the shotguns gathered here could not have a numerical advantage over the enemy gunners.

He wanted to ask the Manzhou people to agree to transfer some of the other three bird gunners, but at this time he saw the Manzhou leaders suddenly turn around and run back like a demon. The rest of the Manzhou people were also shouting, but none of them stayed in place, but they all ran under the city.

Shen Liu was shocked. Before he could react, a "whizz" sound came from the air.

The six unconscience-free launchers carried by the Marine Corps lost four in the river. The only two remaining were quietly lifted to the front when the muskets of both sides fired at each other and quickly dug a hole to fix them.

After ordering the blasting team to prepare, Wei Dalong ordered the launch to be unconscienced. One of the two large medicine bags exploded in mid-air several meters away from the city wall, and the other fell on the city and exploded.

Amid the explosion, more than a dozen Korean soldiers flew down from the city, and dozens of others stood, fell, or knelt down, all without any vitality.

The unconscience-free powerful power and killing effect allowed the Qing army and Korean soldiers on the city to form a group. Wei Dalong seized the opportunity to order the blasting team to rush towards the city gate.

"Stop them, stop them!"

Shen Ji shouted while covering his blood-breathed nose. He saw the enemy soldiers approaching the city wall with medicine bags.

"General Shen, the people of Manzhou have run away!"

Jin Daquan didn't care about going outside the city because he found that all the people in Manzhou had run away, and now they were the Korean soldiers who were resisting in the city.

"Mr. Han, have people from Manzhou run away?"

Shen Liu realized that things were not good. If even the people of Manzhou ran away, then how could they defend the city by relying solely on the Koreans?

"This is mine"

Han Juyuan didn't know what happened, and instinctively told him that Shulk might have run away, but he really couldn't believe that the Manchu Association understood how to do such a thing.

"well!"

Seeing that Han Juyuan couldn't say anything, Shen Liu was so angry that he stomped his feet. He found that the few enemy soldiers holding gunpowder bags he had just seen disappeared outside the city wall. He couldn't help but sweat in a cold sweat, dragging a thousand households across the city, and asked him to lead the troops to the city gate immediately, and be sure to guard the city gate.

Although Wanhu didn't know why Yu Hou asked him to lead his troops to the city gate, he also knew that the situation was urgent and hurriedly led a team of troops to the city gate.

Shen Liu ignored the lead flying from the city, picked up a musket from the ground and lit it at the enemy below. With a "bang", a small flag officer of the Marine Corps fell to the ground in pain, rolling constantly.

Everything was too late. The blasting hand with a red armband tied on his arm successfully broke into the city gate hole, placed three packs of medicine under the city, lit the fuse and quickly retreated to the city walls on both sides. With a "boom", the city gate was blown open.

"Run!"

Yu Qi raised his sword and led his troops to rush towards the city.

Shulk, the leader of the Manzhou Association who escaped from the city, also heard the explosion from the city gate. He was stunned for a moment, pulled over the Qingzhou magistrate Ma Wende next to him, and said anxiously: "The Taiping Guards launched a large-scale northern expedition, you and I will go to see Master Beile!"

Ma Wende had wanted to run away long ago, and he knew that Shulke's purpose of pulling him away was to help him speak. After all, he was the prefect of Qingzhou. With his evidence, even if Mr. Beile would blame him, Shulke would not lose his head because of this. As for their run, no one could care about the fate of the North Koreans in the city.

Shulk really wanted to go to Dorobetuntaina to report the news. Compared with the fall of Wei County and the annihilation of thousands of Koreans, the information about the Taiping gangs in Shandong was much more important. This information was too important and must be reported to the court immediately, otherwise the Qing Dynasty would suffer a great loss.

When the Manzhou people ran away, the Shandong Green Camp general Zhou Tian was not willing to fall behind. He led his subordinates to whip the Koreans who were guarding the city to the side, and then ran to Qingzhou without looking back.

In Wei County, the Korean soldiers are now resisting stubbornly. Han Juyuan, the military supervisor, was tough and did not leave the Koreans behind to run away alone. This made Shen Liu, who felt abandoned by the Qing Dynasty, feel somewhat comforted.

However, seeing the elite soldiers he brought from the country were dispersed by the enemy and eliminated them one by one, Shen Liu's heart was so painful that he couldn't hurt anymore. He just wanted to leave Weixian alive and return to his country, and tell the king what happened here that North Korea could no longer kill the soldiers for his treacherous and fearless Qing people.

The battle in the city continued, and the chaos continued. Shen Liu took Han Juyuan and his nephew Shentong to investigate Jin Dazhong and others to break through the north, trying to join forces with the North Korean army there, but there were too many enemies rushing into the city, and his own soldiers were no longer intent to fight. It was inevitable that they would be defeated. It depends on how many people could escape.
