Upon hearing this, Yue Tuo glanced at him, a little unhappy, and said lightly: "Tong Puhan, I hope so!"

"It's definitely no problem!" The Jianlu general named Tong Puhan immediately said proudly, "The Tong family is the most proficient in the firearms of our Qing Dynasty. Now there are no artillery in Jinzhou City, so long as we aim at the city wall and blast, so Easy thing, very simple!”

After hearing this, Yue Tuo knew that what he said was the truth, so he nodded and stopped talking.

This Tong Puhan was born in the Tong family of Liaodong. The Tong family is a famous family in Liaodong. In the late Ming Dynasty, he originally did business in Kaiyuan and later moved to Fushun.

The Tong family is "strongly endowed" and "able to serve the people of their hometown". After Jianlu rebelled against the Ming Dynasty, Tong Yangxing, a member of the Tong family, contacted Jianlu and secretly imported embargoed materials from the Ming Dynasty for Jianlu. He was discovered by border officials of the Ming Dynasty and was imprisoned. He escaped and went to Jianlu.

Nurhaci's wife was named "Shi Wuli's Consort" as her eldest daughter, and she was ordered to supervise the management of money and grain, and the prime minister of "Han people's military and civilian affairs", which made great contributions to Jianlu's victory in the Liaodong War.

After Tong Yangxing defected to Jianlu and became the prince-in-law, he had great influence in the Tong family. In 1619, his brother Tong Yangzhen (who was doing business in Kaiyuan and Fushun) also came back with his family and relatives, totaling 1,474 people. His brothers Tong Yangjia, Tong Yangliang, Tong Dai and their nephews Tong Puhan, Tong Liushi, Tong Fengnian, Tong Tulai and their grandchildren Tong Guoyao, Tong Guozhen, Tong Guoyin, Tong Fengcai, etc. also all defected to Jianlu one after another. It can be said that "the Tong family is a family" Group followers".

The Tong clan was already a huge force among the Jianlu people at this time. During the Qing Dynasty, the Tong family became the second largest family after Aixinjueluo.

With Tong Puhan showing off at this time, others naturally couldn't say anything. They could only secretly be jealous. It seemed that Tong Puhan was definitely responsible for the most successful attack on Jinzhou's city.

Seeing that Yue Tuo had no further instructions, Tong Puhan rode back to the artillery camp. After checking the distance, he immediately ordered the artillery camp to move forward. He shouted loudly: "The Ming army in the city does not have artillery, what are you afraid of?" ? Push the artillery forward! I boasted about Haikou. The city wall is so big. If I don’t blow it down today, we will all starve!"

At this time, what Jianlu was most afraid of was starvation. What's more, these soldiers who operate the artillery are actually Han Chinese. Their status is even lower. Since this winter, they have not been hungry for a day or two. When they heard that they were going to be starved, everyone immediately pushed forward with all their strength.

When Tong Puhan saw it, he was dissatisfied and still urged them to move faster. When he was urged, a little leader accompanied him and said with a smile: "Master, don't worry. I will take care of the Jinzhou city wall and blow it down for you today. If the Ming army didn't block the city gate, they will blow it down for you." Come out of a hole!"

"Okay!" After hearing this, Tong Puhan pointed with his hand and said, "Push the artillery to the main entrance. It's just a stone's throw away. You can blast it with confidence!"

"Okay, please take a look!" the little boss replied confidently. Seeing that Tong Puhan was happy, other soldiers also expressed their opinions and promised to satisfy him.

At the top of Jinzhou City, Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but sneer when he saw the Jianlu artillery battalion advancing almost swaggeringly to bombard the city gate.

"Lord Zhongcheng, these rebels believe that we have no artillery in the city, and they actually push the ground to move the artillery forward. They are just looking for death!" Mao Chengzuo had a trace of ridicule on his face. After looking at the movement outside the city, he turned his head. Said to Lu Xiangsheng.

Lu Xiangsheng suddenly sighed after hearing this, and heard him say: "Thankfully, the emperor can coordinate the arrangements, otherwise our Dongjiang Army would really have no artillery to use!"

Having said this, he glanced at Wei Mulan who was standing next to him and then said: "Jianlu can't know himself and his enemy. He always looks at our Dongjiang Army with the same old eyes. It would be strange if he doesn't suffer a loss! Pass the order and wait for Jianlu When the artillery camp stops reloading, let’s bombard the Jianlu artillery camp together!”

"Yes!" Lu Da, who was nearby, received the order and immediately went to the artillery camp to deliver the order. Mao Chengzuo, on the other hand, stood aside and silently watched the movements of Jianlu outside the city. Thinking of what Lu Xiangsheng had just said, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Ever since the emperor paid attention to the war in Liaodong and sent Lu Zhongcheng over, he continued to pass on information. As a result, Jianlu misjudged his own strength in every battle. Therefore, the Dongjiang Army won one battle after another. To be honest, the emperor must take at least half of the credit for this year's continuous victories against the captives. With the emperor's support from behind, the future war in Liaodong will definitely only get smoother and smoother!

Thinking of this, he turned around and looked at the artillery pieces not far away. They had all been loaded, and he was waiting for the Jianlu Artillery Battalion to stop and fire. However, the Jianlu artillery camp outside the city did not notice any danger at all. Haha, Jianlu also wanted to blast it with artillery, it seems like a daydream!

Slowly, less than half an hour passed. The Jianlu who were watching the formation from a distance were all watching the actions of their artillery camp, and they were a little impatient. After finally seeing the artillery battalion stop, and seeing them unfolding the artillery pieces one by one and preparing to load the artillery pieces, they immediately started talking in low voices.

"Those artillery battalions are finally going to start firing. I've been standing here for a long time and I'm almost getting hungry!"

"As soon as you tell me, I'm hungry too! Damn it, if you open the city gate earlier and attack it earlier, you can fill your stomach earlier!"

"..."

Under the banner of the Chinese Army, the generals next to Yue Tuo were also relaxed. They were also watching the actions of the artillery camp. They even heard a Jianlu general say: "Listen, everyone, listen up, boom boom boom, see that The gate of Jinzhou City suddenly shattered into pieces, and our Qing warriors swarmed in..."

Hearing what he said, the other generals laughed. Everyone thinks so, and they are just waiting for the artillery battalion to make a contribution, and then it is their turn to rush into the city and harvest the heads of the Ming army!

Yue Tuo didn't care about them. It wasn't the infantry's turn yet, so he let them speak. When the city gate is blasted open, they will naturally become serious.

However, there was no special movement on the top of the city as he had first seen. Even though the artillery battalion was slowly moving forward, it had stopped now and remained as it was. This made Yue Tuo a little confused. Suddenly, the thoughts he had yesterday became stronger again.

Could it be that the Ming army reacted this way...could it be that they were emboldened?

Just as he was thinking of this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he found that the Ming army at the top of the city finally reacted. Suddenly, he breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself: Fortunately, the Ming army did not behave abnormally again!

But as soon as Yue Tuo thought of this, he could already see Chengtou's reaction. Suddenly, the pupils in his eyes shrank and he shouted: "Not good..."

Pay off all the debt you owe!
