Chapter 419 The Storm of Iron and Fire

"Shuo Weng Keluo, although Ama said you are Haidongqing, the eagle also has a time to sleep. Look, the Han emperor was really fooled! With such a weak and confused emperor, the Han people did not lose unjustly. This rich land It’s our turn to enjoy ourselves.”

Almost a mile and a half away from the city wall, the Jurchen army formed seven or eight small groups of a thousand people and slowly moved forward with the broken troops. Chu Ying and Anfeiyanggu did not stay in the middle. Instead, they led the cavalry to the far north and watched the retreating troops under the city wall.

Seeing the commotion at the city gate and the thick iron gate slowly rising, Chu Ying couldn't help but feel elated. It was really worth it to take the risk of leading troops to Huanglong. Not only did they destroy the city along the way, but they also had the opportunity to capture the capital. This was a once-in-a-lifetime event.

"Arkha Tutu, I lost this time. Their emperor is standing on the tower, let the warriors attack the city. As long as you capture the Han emperor, I will be the first to refuse to stop you from ascending to the throne of Khan. !”

Anfeyangu wiped the rain off his face, his expression not only a little embarrassed, but also shocked and excited. The idea of ​​following the defeated troops and storming the city gate was Chu Ying's idea. He thought there was no hope of success, but he didn't expect that the Han emperor would be so stupid.

Don’t you ever read military books? The emperor doesn’t read it, and neither do the ministers? These tricks are all clearly written in books, written by Han people, and have been passed down for thousands of years. How could they be ignored?

But no matter how hard I try to figure it out, I can't doubt the reality. Through the battle just now, I have figured out the origin of this group of Ming troops who are still relatively capable. They are actually the emperor's forbidden troops, and there are only tens of thousands of forbidden troops near the capital. exist.

So what are you waiting for? This opportunity will never come again. Hai Dongqing is good at observing the overall situation and is alert and flexible, but Hai Dongqing is also a raptor. When he sees the right opportunity, he rushes down and strangles his prey with one claw without hesitation.

Now is a rare opportunity. The Ming army guarding the capital is vulnerable. The Han emperor is very stupid. He did not call for reinforcements and was soft-hearted enough to open the city gate himself.

Although this city is very large and its walls are very high and strong, it can block the attacks of Mongolian rangers, but it cannot block the attacks of the Jurchen army. It is time for the Han people to see what their true strength is.

"Hahaha... Warriors, celebrate with the blood of the enemy! Every house, every shop, and every Han here belongs to the winner. Beat the drums and attack the city!"

These words touched Chu Ying's heart, and they were not flattering. The Jurchens admire heroes the most, and those who conquer the Han capital are unparalleled heroes. If the Han emperor can be captured again or his body is obtained, even his father Nurhachi will have to surrender.

When I think that I can soon trample those brothers and veterans who have always been against me, turn their wives and daughters into my trophies, and then live in this ridiculously big city, my blood boils. Boiling involuntarily.

Then his head was so burned that he couldn't vent even though he screamed and roared with all his strength. He simply tore off his fur cloak to reveal his furry chest, and rushed out waving his Iron Bone Prancing Horse.

"God of the Sky...God of the Earth... bless your children! Warriors, rush up and seize the city gate. Take all the wealth and women in this city as you please, rush!"

As Chu Ying led more than a dozen Bai Bayala around him to rush out, Anfeiyanggu couldn't wait any longer. He dismounted and knelt down, prayed to the gods amidst the great shaman's chanting, and then brought his relatives with him. Sui shouted and chased after him. At the same time, the Jurchen infantry who had been moving slowly in small steps also moved. Under the cover of two rows of soldiers wearing thick armor and holding thick wooden shields as tall as one person, they launched a final sprint towards the city gate.

Even if there are still bows and arrows and fire guns on the top of the city, the cover of these shield soldiers can block most of the damage, and the broken soldiers blocking the city gate hole are not a problem at all. If they are killed directly, there will be a passage available.

Now even if the Ming army on the city reacted, it was too late. The defeated soldiers blocked the city gate hole with water, and even the thousand-jin gate could not be lowered. If nothing special happens, this long-famous Han capital will fall before dark.

What you should be thinking about now is not how to fight, but what kind of loot you should get after entering the city. According to Jurchen customs, everything that can be carried by a horse belongs to the individual, so you must choose valuable and lightweight items, such as silk, gold, silver and jewelry. Of course, there are women, young women!

"Loading" without any accident is equivalent to a big accident. When the Jurchen army launched a full-scale charge, the emperor standing under the umbrella suddenly raised his right hand and softly uttered two words.

"Beep beep... beep beep... fire the gun... load... the bomb!" When the gunner, whose face was a little pale, heard this order, he immediately summoned enough breath to blow the brass whistle loudly, and then raised his voice like crazy. A general howl.

Most of them were gunners drawn from battleships. They had experienced actual combat, but they had never seen such a grand scene. Not being afraid is nonsense. Seeing tens of thousands of people charging, feeling the trembling of the earth, my legs are a little weak.

Hong Tao's order to open the city gates and let the defeated troops into the city was not at all out of any good virtue. He had everything except bad virtue. If the city gates are not opened, the Jurchens may not charge rashly. After all, the city wall is too thick and too high. For an army that lacks sufficient siege equipment, the cost of a strong attack is a bit high.

Can the Jurchen army be allowed to retreat like this? The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty may have felt that retaining the capital was a great victory. Even if they had lost four or five guard posts and three battalions before, it was still acceptable.

But Hong Tao is a man who thinks it's lost if he doesn't pick up money while walking on the street. It's very inconsistent with his character to just sit back and watch the enemy wreak havoc on his territory.

As long as the situation is not too dangerous, he will always think about how to use low costs to obtain high profits. Even if he cannot keep everything, he will still have to find a way to take a bite to satisfy his hatred.

You don't have the conditions to charge, right? OK, I'll create conditions for you to charge. The thousand-jin gate was pulled up and the city gate was opened, but it was blocked by defeated soldiers and could not be closed. These conditions are sufficient. If the whole army still dares not to press forward with a Stud, then it is really God’s failure. We will try our best.

Facts have proved that as long as there are enough benefits in front of them, most people will ignore the possible dangers and strive for wealth. The Jurchens were fooled. Not only did they charge, they also chose the method of maximizing profits. They pressed the entire army and ignored the test.
