Lu Ming

Chapter 725 History ([-])

The T-junction leading to Xifengkou, the terrain is suddenly clear, and it is no longer a narrow mountain road.

On this mountain valley, the three camps stood majestically, blocking the army passages leading to three directions.

Today's Santun Yingcheng was renovated when Qi Jiguang was the chief military officer of Ji Town during the Wanli period.

Santun Yingcheng is three feet high and seven miles in circumference.The 72 hutongs in the interior divide the general city into many squares, and the government and private houses are arranged in an orderly manner.The moat, fodder field, martial arts hall and martial arts parade are all available.

As for the defensive facilities, Santunying not only has five turrets and nine enemy towers built on the top of the city, but also has high walls and thick walls, and there is a Henghe River surrounding it.

Today, September [-], [-].Santunying, a large fortress, finally ushered in the first and probably last real fortress offensive and defensive battle in the history of the city.

Ironically, it was the imaginary enemy of the builders: the Qing army that brought into full play the defensive role of Santunying when it was first built.

In front of Xiongguan City, the sound of killing was loud, and smoke and dust rose everywhere.

Thousands of heavy armored cavalry are moving around Chenghuan.While attracting firepower, it is also testing the weak points of the city defense.

The east of the city is the main attack direction of the attackers.A large number of soldiers from Dongjiang Town who had unloaded their heavy armor were risking their lives to attack Binri Gate. The east of Santunying was called Binri Gate, the south was called Jingzhong Gate, and the west was called Gongjing Gate.

Most of the imaginary enemies are fortresses of foreign races in the north, and there is no north gate on the city wall.Santunying is no exception, with only east, south and west gates.

In the face of a strong offensive, the Qing soldiers on the city also tried their best to stop the enemy.Against the bullets fired from below the city, arrows rained down from the top of the city, forcibly restraining Dongjiang Town's victory attack.

Duoduo, the prince of Yu who fled all the way back to Santun Camp, sweating profusely and panting heavily, hid behind the wooden pillars of the turret, loudly berated the bannerman, and tried his best to defend the city.

After a long time, Duoduo finally let out a long breath: Mingjin retreated from the city.

The withdrawal of troops this time represented that the series of battles that had lasted from the Chunleibao branch to the Santun camp had finally come to an end for the time being.

However, Duduo only breathed a sigh of relief.Dongjiang Town took advantage of the momentum to cover up and kill this group, and there will undoubtedly be more tragic siege battles: the one wearing a double-breasted jacket and using muskets to cover Dongjiang soldiers and horses is undoubtedly the legendary Feihuying.

What frightened Dodo even more was that from beginning to end, he only knew that the Flying Tiger Camp came to pursue him, and then there was the sudden appearance of Dongjiang Town's new force.He can't judge now whether this group is Feihuying + Dongjiang Town, or Cao's main force + Dongjiang Town.

Dodo is now extremely frightened.If it is the former, then he is sure that as long as the Manchu army returns behind, everyone will still be able to return to Baishan Heishui. But there will be a price to pay.

But if it is the latter, the current situation is already the most passive situation in the pre-war deduction, and Duoduo would not dare to deduce the final outcome at all.

Doduo now understands very well why both Khan and Azig forced Yangguli to attack Chunlei Fort.If he was given another chance, he would definitely seize Yanguli's military power and fill in all his subordinates, including himself, until he captured Spring Thunder Fort.

Unfortunately, it was too late.In order to cherish the lives of their subordinates, Yangguli and Duoduo picked up not only themselves, but also put nearly [-] banner people west of Santunying into a desperate situation.

Thinking of this, Doduo had a splitting headache and was about to be crushed by the overwhelming pressure. "Hasn't the county king sent a letter yet?"

"Never."

"Send someone to report again!"

"Order."

Duoduo, who was eager to transfer the pressure to the official commander of the army, suddenly opened his mouth wide and looked down at the city.

As far as Duoduo could see, a large flag embroidered with the word "Han" suddenly stood up.Immediately afterwards, the other side of the banner embroidered with "Governor of the North, Commander-in-Chief of the Northern Expedition Army" was also erected.

Accompanied by the two large flags were the cheers of many soldiers in the city.

"Is this the main force of the Cao Clan?" Duoduo gasped: "It's broken, it's broken, please report it to the county king!"

While the atmosphere above the city was frozen, the atmosphere below the city was extremely warm.Han Xiaobo, who had just raised the flag, was being challenged by a group of red-eyed Dongjiang rebels: "Governor, give the order quickly, while the Tartars are not yet firmly established, let us serve with explosives, and we will attack with one more wave!"

"It's late!" Han Xiaobo, who was observing the city defense with a telescope, said angrily, "There was no order for you to attack the city. Who told you to fight just now?"

"My lord, take advantage of the situation to hide and kill, what the art of war says!"

Han Xiaobo put down the binoculars and laughed angrily: "Still taking advantage of the situation?"

Before this, due to the inability of heavy armored cavalry to pursue for a long distance, thousands of Mongols and Eight Banners soldiers escaped in the Battle of Taniguchi.

After these people fled into the Santun camp, together with the 5000 people who stayed behind before, they instantly supported the defense of the Santun camp.

But Dongjiang's group's so-called concealment of killing by taking advantage of the situation is actually not accurate: when they change their horses and come, and then unload their armor under the city, and attack the city in a hurry, they will have already been prepared.

Han Xiaobo, who came in a hurry, happened to see the second half of the siege: the defenders at the top of the city were very motivated, and they ignored the incoming bullets, and forcibly beat back the attacking attackers in a hurry.

In this case, either increase the density of fire cover, or increase the siege area, and sufficient preparations must be made, and it is difficult for explosive packs to have room to play.

What the Dongjiang people don't know is that the key factor that determines the rhythm of the next battle has little to do with the explosive package.

"No matter what the reason, if you didn't rush into the city gate, you should withdraw your troops and wait for help."

With a wave of his hand, he drove off a group of Dongjiang remnants who were so excited that they couldn't control themselves.After that, Han Xiaobo and Wei Yuan dismounted together.At this time, the orderly had already found a relatively flat stone by the roadside, and put down a folding canvas mozzarella around the stone.

"Gudongdong".

Sitting down and gulping a few mouthfuls of water, Han Xiaobo wiped the water stain on his chin, and then happily said: "Oh, it's finally blocked."

Wei Yuan, who also had a heavy burden on his shoulders, seemed to have relaxed his posture.Click on the pirated Huazi, and let out a long mouthful: "Yes, there is no pressure now."

You must know that the main force of the Manchurian and Mongolian army under Azig's command is still west of Ji Town, 140 miles away from Santun Camp.When these people arrived, the main force of the Northern Expeditionary Army in the rear had also arrived earlier.

So from this moment on, the Qing soldiers who entered the customs this time are already the turtles in the urn.

Next, people who are relaxed start to follow the steps.

"Communications staff, report the location of Li Zicheng's department."

"According to the telegram an hour ago, the main force of Li Zicheng's troops has arrived at the front line of Weinan."

Han Xiaobo snorted, "We've only just arrived in Weinan, so don't worry, let's besiege slowly, and wait for these people to rush out to die by themselves."

————————————————————————————

Previously, after Li Zicheng's troops captured Chang'an City, they immediately dispatched light cavalry troops to quickly sweep the Guanzhong Plain.

Afterwards, a large number of fellow villagers of Li Zicheng's tribe, bankrupt peasants, a small group of rebels, and even real frontier soldiers came to join King Li Chuang, who had enough food and noon.

Li Zicheng lost all the hearts of his family overnight.

Next, Li Zicheng, who was far more refined and well-stocked than in history, sent General Liu Fangliang to lead an elite group to the north, targeting Ningxia, Lanzhou, Tianshui and other important cities in the Northwest.

At this time, due to the complete destruction of Ming Ting's mobile corps in the north, Li Zicheng had actually effectively controlled the second of the three most important provinces in northern China: Shanluo.

Since ancient times, anyone who occupied Shanshanluo, which produced elite soldiers, was equivalent to occupying northern China.Furthermore, it is possible to occupy a high-profile land, connect the north to the south, and achieve a great cause.

So Li Zicheng, just like in history, started the next stop of Wang Tu's hegemony: marching into Shanxi.

What Han Xiaobo just asked was the real-time location of Li Zicheng's department.

Hearing that the latter had just arrived in Weinan, Han Xiaobo was even less anxious.

Weinan is still more than 100 miles away from Fenglingdu on the Yellow River.After Li Zicheng crossed the Yellow River, and then ran along the road of Yuncheng-Linfen-Taiyuan, even if he didn't go through any decent battles like in history, it would take at least a while.

Now, for the Northern Expeditionary Army, there is plenty of time.In this case, the Northern Expeditionary Army, which has a strategic advantage, naturally does not need to take lives to attack the city.Slowly besiege and build fortifications.

After the calculation was settled, Han Xiaobo first called Mei Fuxi, the commander of the Second Flying Tiger Battalion who arrived the earliest.

Pointing to the mountain road in the north, Han Xiaobo began to give orders: "I ordered the Ministry to block the mountain road in the north now, lay mines, and block all communication between Santunying and Xifengkou."

"Yes!"

Next, Han Xiaobo called over the remnants of Dongjiang: "Don't go anywhere, just nail me here, and keep a thousand heavy cavalry on duty."

After driving away the unwilling Dongjiang people, Han Xiaobo and Wei Yuan looked at each other with a smile: "Come here, I'm hungry, I've got something to eat, quickly set up the tent."

The defending side is weak but has a strong city, and the attacking side is strong but few in number, which leads to no one wanting to fight.So for the rest of the day on NO.30, a seemingly reasonable confrontation began.

Late that night, a large number of cavalry with torches rushed into the Santun Camp.

"The king of the county!"

Even though Duduo's title is higher, but now he has personally experienced incomprehensible battlefields, and his courage has long since disappeared.So the moment he saw the Lord, Duduo sincerely wanted to return the mess to Azig, the supreme commander of the entry army.

Azige, who is tall and has a thick waist and abdomen, is the No. 12 son of Nurhachi and the owner of the Zhengbai Banner.

This entry, Azig, who has experienced many battles, can be said to have commanded the whole process without any mistakes.However, the Communist Army and Cao Thief have Gundams, so in fact Azig, who was already very cautious, finally got the bad news of being ripped off.

After receiving the news during the day, Azig immediately mobilized all the cavalry in Ji Town and rushed to Santun Camp.On the way, all the cavalry in Zunhua were gathered together and set off together.

Fortunately, Heaven pays off.Azige, who was so anxious, finally got his first good news tonight: Santunying is still in his own hands: "Well, Duoduo, you are able to keep Santunying until now, it is a credit."

As soon as they met, Azig didn't worry about the loss of his troops on the Eastern Front.In Azig's view, now is the moment of life and death.If you can't go back to Shengjing, everyone will die here, and it doesn't make any sense to complain and pursue Duoduo.

After exchanging a few words, Azig led people up to the city wall of the east gate first.

Glancing at the seemingly pitch-black camp below the city, Azig pondered for a moment, then turned his head and asked, "Is it possible to attack at night while unprepared in the second half of the night?"

"Absolutely not!"

The soul of Duoduo was frightened: "That generation has the method of night vision!"

"really?"

"It's absolutely true, my son-in-law has suffered a lot earlier."

"That's it"

Azige found a brick, and sat down slowly: "Then let's see tomorrow. I have ordered the army to return, and only bring food, fodder and goods. The Ming people who eat free food have no choice but to give up this time."

"woo"

"The details of the Cao family's soldiers and horses, what exactly is it, you will tell me in detail now."

--------------------------------

October [-]st.This special day, which later generations can get away with, represents killing and destruction in the seventeenth century.

When the morning light rose, Azige, the king of Doro County standing at the head of the city, waved his hand coldly and gave the order to open the city.

Immediately, the suspension bridge of Santunying was lowered, the east gate was opened wide, and at least two thousand cavalry rushed out from inside.

No matter how he lost on the Eastern Front before, no matter how Dodo and his like described the opponent's combat power, as the commander of the entry army, Azig must personally experience the opponent's combat power.Otherwise, he will not be able to formulate strategies and tactics at all next.

As a result, two thousand Eight Banners elites rushed out, aiming directly at the enemy's commander-in-chief flag to the east.

Sure enough, the opponent did not disappoint Azig.

The ruthless and sharp gun shot came from a mile away.The cavalry who had just left the city were overwhelmed from time to time.After the attacker had rushed two hundred steps, the dense rain of bullets had already begun to overwhelm the cavalry in rows.

Just when Manqi was in a dilemma, the deep sound of horseshoes sounded like a heavy drum: Dongjiang Town heavy cavalry came oncoming.

Man Qi, who had made a plan beforehand, drew a circle obliquely, turned around and left.At the end, it was just a brush with Dongjiang Heavy Cavalry.But in this short contact, Man Qi was bitten off by the opponent, and he was almost powerless to fight back.

After witnessing the short play "The Fall of the Empire" with hundreds of lives, Azig turned pale and had a long aftertaste.

"After the order, all ministries on the road, hurry up."

Azig can see it clearly. In front of the opponent's sharp gun armor, the Eight Banners warriors are powerless to fight back in small and medium-scale battles. The flag soldiers who are not guilty of war also have firecrackers in hand, and they can tickle an itch fifty steps away. Yes, but other people's firecrackers can penetrate armor from a mile away!
The current response can only be to gather people first, and finally rely on the advantage of numbers to find a way to stand out.

Therefore, Azig then ordered consecutively, ordering the infantry who came one after another to enter the city to defend, and the replaced cavalry to gather in the west of the city.

In this way, except for a brief contact that occurred on the morning of October [-]st, the enemy and the enemy confronted each other strangely for another day.

On October [-], the situation changed.From the east side of the corridor, established Northern Expedition camps appeared one after another.In addition, a large number of former militiamen also came with them.

This time, the city became noisy.

Han Xiaobo first ordered two battalions of more than 1000 infantry to go up the mountain to deploy defenses, replacing the cavalry battalion that had previously blocked the mountain road.Immediately afterwards, Han Xiaobo ordered the engineering troops who came to cut off the river.

When Santunying was built, it was equipped with a moat as deep as three feet, and its water source was drawn from the nearby Henghe River.After so many years, although the moat has silted up a lot, it still has a defensive function.

As a result, the engineers began to plan the blasting route upstream.

On October [-]th, a series of huge explosions sounded.Later, the people on the top of the city found that the moat gradually dried up.
And from this day onwards, as many as [-] banner infantry, pushing small carts, carrying the thieves they robbed in the Ming Dynasty, poured into the Santun camp continuously.

On October [-]th, with the arrival of the follow-up troops and the supply battalion, the Northern Expeditionary Army had completed the defensive positions in both the east and north directions of the Santun camp: barbed wire, an artifact of defense, had been placed on the mountain road leading to Xifengkou. The upper layer is laid.

On this day, there was an episode between the two parties who had been immersed in preparations: the negotiating team with white flags came out of the city and asked to meet with the Governor Han.

The negotiator is an old friend of the crossing crowd. Meng Qiaofang, who had been in charge of the negotiations between the two parties in the capital before, participated in politics.

Regarding the matter of negotiations, since the envoys have come, then Governor Han still has to give face.So, Meng Shenzheng saw Dudu Han who was roasting a leg of lamb in front of a tent.

However, after seeing Meng Qiaofang, Governor Han ended the negotiation with only one sentence: "Go back and tell your county king, don't bother trying to provoke, and surrender as soon as possible. Otherwise, I will finish you , immediately sent troops from Jizhen to Beijing, and destroyed Chongzhen Guozuo!"

Meng Qiaofang was tongue-tied, and left sadly after a while.

Meng Qiaofang came here, in fact, with the hope of a three-party game, "If you destroy me, Chongzhen will fear you even more."

But now they stopped pretending and said that they would destroy even Chongzhen. Meng's original hope of participating in politics was instantly shattered.

After Meng Qiaofang returned, the offensive and defensive sides seemed to have entered into a strange confrontation again.There was no major fighting except for here and there a few shells were thrown here and there.

This situation is extremely unfavorable to the late Jin army: time is on the side of the Northern Expedition.If you procrastinate, you will sit back and eat, and sooner or later you will be stabbed by Chongzhen's Qin Wangjun in the back of your ass.

But Azig remained motionless, and the situation was very strange.

Fortunately, a certain force with drones actually has a good grasp of the opponent's movements.

"It seems that the king of the county is ready." On the evening of the [-]th, after analyzing many real-time uncensored high-definition pictures of the Santun Camp sent by the drone, Han Xiaobo ordered: "All troops will increase their alert level. The enemy may break out."

The next afternoon, the long-awaited war broke out.

The three gates of the Santun camp were wide open, and more than [-] heavily armed infantry rushed straight to the eastern defense line of the Northern Expedition, which had been blocked by barbed wire and deer villages.

Another tens of thousands of infantry came out from the west gate, went around to the northern mountain road and began to attack, intending to open up the passage leading to the entrance of Xifeng.

At the same time, as many as 1 cavalry came out from the south of the city, eager to try.

There is no doubt that Azig has been hiding behind the city wall for the past few days, and he did not lie down to die.This time, all the pawns who rushed out were as armored as possible.Even those without armor were bound with impromptu bulletproof wooden boards.

However, the first batch of soldiers to meet the charge was not musket bullets, but small army artillery of various calibers.

When Azig was hiding behind the city wall to make body armor, the Northern Expeditionary Army was not idle.The main force of the Northern Expeditionary Army has been in place, and the artillery battalions have found their own firing positions in the past two days.The sporadic shots that fell on the open ground were test shots to measure shooting parameters.

Amidst the sky-shaking roar, the black tide-like flag soldiers raised their blades high and rushed towards the opponent's position.

The first wave to greet the guests was densely packed black iron bullets.Mountain artillery shells of various calibers can be fired without fail in a crowd of this size. As long as they hit the crowd, it will be a bloody alley.

Immediately afterwards, a dense rain of bullets came, cutting down the flag soldiers layer by layer.

But all of this can't stop the red-eyed bannerman.They knew very well that if they could not defeat their opponents, they would not be able to return home this time.

Therefore, although countless people fell down on the way to the charge, the latecomers continued to step on the bodies of the predecessors and charged forward desperately.

Finally, after paying the price of countless lives, the attacker rushed through the nearly 500-meter road of death and approached the first line of defense constructed by barbed wire.

Then, the leading bannermen were blown up one after another: minefields.

The current mines are not as sophisticated as the anti-personnel mines of later generations.However, the stupid old-fashioned landmines are more powerful in this situation: enemies in a dense formation will be injured and killed several times at a time.

After the purgatory obstacles, the first bannerman who rushed to the barbed wire was stretched.Just when he stretched out his arms and tried to pull away these thin iron wires, countless people behind him stuck up.

Afterwards, the immobile bannerman was killed by bullets in front of the barbed wire.

Before the flag soldiers went to battle today, no one thought that the most terrifying thing was not bullets and artillery fire, but these seemingly delicate iron coils.

Faced with this weird thing, someone from the bannermen tried to cut off these iron wires with a sword.But the thin iron wire is strong and tough, and full of elasticity, it will bounce back when cut by a knife.

Others tried to remove it.But without making two movements, he was entangled in circles of iron wires.The more he struggled, the more iron wires on his body, until he became an immobile mummy.

The army of flag soldiers, whose impact potential energy was reduced by layers of barbed wire, eventually became a living target for soldiers of the Northern Expedition to practice shooting.

Before, those who charged with their eyes closed could not see the cannon fodder that fell to the ground in the front row.Now, when everyone is blocked, the people who cannot move start to watch the guns and bullets blow up the people in front one by one.

The fear deeply rooted in the DNA finally overwhelmed the desire to go home. The Qiding formation collapsed.

The tide-like flow of people began to retreat.But the bullets and cannonballs fired from behind were still non-stop, harvesting the timid enemies like mowing grass.

At dusk, at the head of the Santun camp, the sound of Mingjin withdrawing troops sounded.

From this moment, the battle that determined the fate of China came to an end.

In this battle, 40.00 banner soldiers marched out from the east gate. In just half an hour, more than [-] people died in the battle. The casualty rate has exceeded a horrifying [-]%. It can be called a miracle of war in the Middle Ages.

The more than 1 people who attacked the mountain road in the north had an even worse fate. There were mines and barbed wire all over the mountain road.

As for the 1 cavalry, there was no room for action at all: the infantry couldn't break through the barbed wire formation, and couldn't find a gap in the attack.There are [-] heavy armored cavalry waiting for a tiger to line up at any time.The cavalry, who had suffered enough before, did not dare to move from the beginning to the end.

It was night, in the large official hall of the Santun camp, Azige, the king of Duoluo Wuying, gave the first order with a calm expression: "Nadan, take your men, lead the horses on foot, and walk from the west gate overnight, and go to Juyongguan to see .”

The Mongolian assistant leader named Nadan got up and put his long sleeve on his left shoulder and saluted, turned around and left without saying a word.

Today's battle completely destroyed all illusions of the Manchurian Eight Banners entrenched in Santunying.

With the loss of so many main forces, the [-] troops have not rushed to the distance where they can fight hand-to-hand with their opponents. At this moment, Azig has truly grasped the strength gap between the two sides. This is not caused by will or strategy at all. can make up.

Azig, who recognizes the reality clearly, is an outstanding general who stands out in the era.He suppressed all negative emotions within a short period of time after his defeat and began to adjust his strategy.

The strategy is simple: withdraw.

The translation is: a strong man cuts off his wrist.

The logic is very clear: since the nearby Xifengkou has become out of reach, the remaining flag soldiers should give up all illusions and go out of the pass.

Or to put it bluntly: escape.

In the process of fleeing, there is no doubt that the bannermen will lose all the property they robbed along the way.But at the moment Azig doesn't care anymore.The only thing he hopes now is that more elites under his banner can escape back to Shengjing, so as to preserve a little vitality for the Manchus.

Azig knew that at that time, even if there was one more white armor soldier on hand, Emperor Chongde might be able to suppress the plate of the Qing Dynasty, recuperate, and discuss the funeral.

However, fleeing has never been so easy since ancient times.

Turning around and running from Santunying means that no matter which pass is north of the capital or east of Shanxi, the lost dog will pass through the territory of the Mongols with ulterior motives and the even more terrifying desert.

The legendary Great Escape.

In the process, the fugitives have to deal with the army of kings, soldiers and horses of border towns along the way, and even the most difficult cavalry of the Flying Tiger Battalion.
Azig didn't know how many of those who survived the natural disasters and man-made disasters and were finally destined to return to Shengjing were left.

But that's the only way.If you don't do this and continue to stay in the Santun camp, then all the Eight Banners warriors will be wiped out for up to ten days.

By that time, Manchurians, not to mention their backbones, will have their roots dug out.

Therefore, tonight, Azig arranged for three thousand Mongols to slip away first.And in his plan, tomorrow night, less than [-] remaining Manchu elites would sneak away on all their horses.

And he himself will lead the infantry to defend the city until the last moment.

He didn't arrange for the cavalry to charge this afternoon, and he also had this in mind. In this situation, the Mongols will jump back at any time, so it's better to let these people go to the back first to explore the way.

As for the rest of the camp in Santun, there were more than [-] bannermen. All the bannermen without horses had been given up by Azig at this moment.They will stay and defend the city until the last moment, contributing to the escape of less than [-] elite Manchurians.

In the final analysis, a large part of these infantry are also coated with Han Chinese. Let it be the last time for the masters to work hard.

After the plan was made, Azig, who had been a soldier for half his life, quickly adjusted his mentality and went to rest early.Tomorrow there is still a fierce battle to be fought.He had a premonition: the city would be attacked tomorrow.

At the same time, someone in the city was holding a Xiaomi iPad and was watching it with great interest: "The horses are all Mongolians? The king of the county seems to be really going to run away, so decisive! Someone, pass on my general order , drag the cannon up!"

In the middle of the night that day, Azig, who had already fallen asleep, was suddenly awakened by someone: "My lord, there is something strange in the city!"

When Azige put on his clothes, he hurried up to the top of the city to have a look, but he saw lights flickering in the valley three miles away to the east, lights were flickering, torches were densely packed, and the roar was loud, he didn't know what the opponent was doing.

As the thunderous chant sounded closer and closer, the Prince of Wuying seemed to have guessed something, and was instantly sweating profusely.

The next day, when the morning light was about to rise, the densely packed defenders at the top of the city understood the cause of the noise last night at the same time: four huge long-barreled 24-pound naval heavy guns stood quietly on the artillery positions in front of the city.

In a moment, following the order of the artillery commander, amidst the loud noise, a black iron bullet used for test firing flew less than 400 meters away under the gaze of tens of thousands of eyes above and below the city, and hit the ground right on the ground. On the city brick above the east gate.

In an instant, a piece of city brick that was hit by the shell suddenly scattered and cracked.Afterwards, the rammed earth layer exploded, and at the same time as the top of the city rumbled and smoke filled the air, three or four bannermen were thrown into the air like an earthquake.

Soon, as the smoke dissipated, seeing the collapsed Northern Expedition Army soldiers above the city gate, their roars went straight into the sky.

Accompanied by cheers soaring to the sky, the four cannons that were adjusted to shoot at Zhuyuan were fired one by one.

In this round of shooting, two of them were aimed at the corner tower of the east gate.Amidst the shocking bang, only one cannonball smashed down the turret that had been in disrepair for a long time, and the collapsed bricks and stones immediately buried the sacrificial flag Ding.

Homing, clearing the chamber, applying medicine, and lighting the fire.

Soon, in less than 3 minutes, the second round of salvo appeared again.

This round of volleys completely broke the confidence of the defenders at the top of the city: the red cannons in the hands of the people, due to the lack of a reset system and a standardized shooting process, the interval between two launches is usually more than half an hour.

Next, hundreds of small-caliber artillery began to straddle the city.The infantry soldiers under the city also shot at the city head one after another, joining the artillery chorus.

A thunderous salvo of heavy artillery fired, and it lasted twenty rounds.The east gate city wall, which had been smashed by [-] iron eggs, collapsed in many places in less than an hour.

The defenders in the city had nowhere to go, so they could only endure huge casualties and hide in Tibet.

What the defenders didn't expect was that after only half an hour, the four heavy artillery that had cooled down roared again.If so, when the time came to the afternoon, the east wall of the Santun camp was abruptly smashed by shells, and there were many gentle slopes that could allow cavalry to cross.

At this time, Azig, who was covered in armor, rode on a horse with a long knife in his hand, and shouted at Abatai, the second person who entered the customs this time: "Let's go, take the son-in-law with you. Juyong, Baotou, and Zhangjiakou are not restricted. Wherever you can, go out.”

Hearing this, Abatai gritted his teeth and took a last look at Azig, who was determined to fight to the death, then turned his head and led all the cavalry out of the west gate, heading straight for Zunhua.

Accompanied by Azig's roar was the last round of cannonballs deliberately smashed on the city gate.

The next moment, the already dilapidated east gate collapsed.The long-prepared three thousand heavy armored cavalry rushed into the city like a tank.Followed by them are the cavalry of the Flying Tiger Battalion with four lances stuck upside down on their horses.

After that, there are soldiers of the Northern Expedition with high morale.

The final blow of the main military forces of the Great Yan State against the remaining main forces of the Qing Dynasty began here.

The massacre-like battle did not come to an end until the sun set.

It was a service, and the whole army of Ding Ding, who entered the pass in the Qing Dynasty, was wiped out.Due to the excessive killing of the Dongjiang generals, less than [-] Qiding captives were finally rescued, and all the rest "died in battle."

In this battle, more than 40 Manchu generals were killed in battle, and none of them escaped their lives since Jin entered the general commander and Wuying County King Azige surrendered.

So far, of the 14 Manchurian and Mongolian troops that entered the customs, except for 12 Mongolian cavalry and less than [-] Eighth Banner cavalry who fled temporarily, the remaining about [-] infantry were all trapped in the Ming Dynasty.

It is no exaggeration to say that no matter how many of the [-] elite can escape back to Shengjing in the end, in this plane, the newly established Qing Dynasty has actually completely collapsed and lost its "national status".

History has completely changed.

Of course, no matter what, the poor bandits still want to chase after them. Just want to run after pretending to be tough?How can it be so easy!
After the battle that day, Han Xiaobo ordered the cavalry of Dongjiang Town and Feihu Camp to take a rest and set off early tomorrow morning to chase the enemy steadily. Those who escaped would lose their baggage, and the speed would slow down in a short time.

However, Han Xiaobo finally warned: Regardless of the outcome of the battle, everyone can return after seeing the Ming army, and don't reveal the strategic purpose of the next stage.

After all, according to the latest information, Brother Chuang Wang has already crossed the Yellow River at this moment.Therefore, it is not a good time to expose the armed forces of the Great Yan Kingdom, and they must withdraw to Tianjin in time for standby.

In other words, the one who has done such a great good thing without leaving a name since ancient times must belong to the Northern Expeditionary Army.
