Great Qing Dynasty talker

Chapter 445 The whole city is occupied for 12 hours!

Suna had a ferocious expression and showed no intention of surrendering.

Wow,
A spoonful of boiling oil
Cotton armor can't stop it at all~
Suna roared in pain, the burning pain touched his soul.

The surrendered soldier's shrill laughter sounded like crows. He actually grabbed the edge of the iron pot and exerted force suddenly, pouring all the food out.

baah~
Suna jumped two feet into the air like a shrimp dropped into boiling water.

The frightened surrendered soldier took two steps back, picked up his sword and shield and stood on guard.

People are afraid that if a person holds too much resentment, he or she will turn into a ghost.

After making sure that Suna was dead, he found a flag bearer with a broken arm on the city wall and asked him the question:

"What rank is this old thing?"

"He's just a sockpuppet."

"Would you like to think about it again?"

"hehe."

The flag soldier had lost too much blood and his face was as pale as gold paper. He felt it was ironic to look at the frustrated enemy.

The answer is haha, it’s a knife.

The head rolled away~
……

Zhang Laosan's troops also climbed onto the city wall, and the soldiers first protected the perimeter and consolidated their positions.

In just a hundred breaths,
There were more than 30 friendly troops coming up on ladders.

A military flag was quickly unfurled and inserted into the battlement.

The "Wu" flag is flying.

"The city is broken, the city is broken."

The cheers of tens of thousands of people sounded like thunder.

Tens of thousands of Wu troops came like a tide.

The rest of the city walls,

The Qing army's will to resist completely collapsed and everyone fled.

At first, the flag soldiers supervised the Green Camp soldiers to recapture the fallen city walls. Later, the Green Camp soldiers became anxious and the two sides fought each other.

Both sides left behind corpses and fled for their lives.

The flag soldiers rushed back to the city, trying to find their families.

……

Zhang Laosan is now a battalion commander, so naturally he doesn't need to charge into battle.

He patrolled the city walls with his sword in hand,

Suddenly, he smelled the aroma of meat and looked around for it, but was startled by the charred body that was burnt beyond recognition.

Looking at the new recruit standing next to him with his head bowed and his front teeth missing.

He frowned, pointed and asked:

"Broken Tooth, did you do this?"

"Yes."

"That's disgusting. I can't even eat the meat I had to celebrate today." Zhang Laosan stretched his head out and took a look at the flag soldiers who were frantically fleeing under the city wall. "If you throw it down, it will hit several people."

……

Wow,
Suna's body fell from the sky and hit two people, killing one and injuring one.

Zhang Laosan smiled and said:

"Broken Tooth, you are so ruthless. From now on, you will follow my First Battalion."

"Thank you for your kindness, sir."

While talking,
The heavily armored spearmen who entered the city had killed the last group of Eight Banners soldiers who were resisting at the city gate, removed the multiple layers of bolts, and struggled to open the city gate.

The suspension bridge was slowly lowered.

5 mile away,

Li Yu put down the telescope and let out a breath.

The city of Guangzhou was broken.

And it was broken through just as he had imagined.

You don't have to worry about what happens next.

……

Li Yu smoothed the tangled mane of the warhorse twice, speaking as calmly as possible:

"Tell Miao Youlin that our Wu army is a civilized army. We must not kill people indiscriminately or take prisoners. But in the attack and defense just now, the Guangzhou Eight Banners soldiers were so determined to fight that I was amazed."

The guard from the secretariat didn't even raise his head as he recorded the message and mounted his horse to pass on the order.

Your Majesty's decree is just right, fully demonstrating the broad-mindedness of a great emperor.

A loving father in the 18th century.

When returning to camp,
Li Yu saw Zhao De and his son.

Zhao De knelt down immediately:

"Your Majesty is so powerful that the Tartar court is like dry bones in a coffin. The Tiger Guards will chase them north and drive them out of the Great Wall in just ten days."

Li Yulema,

Quietly asked:

"How do you think we should treat the Cantonese?"

Zhao De thought for a moment and replied:
"If the Cantonese are willing to be loyal to Your Majesty, I am willing to be a loyal subject. I believe that the natives and the Hakkas should live in peace."

……

Li Yu had a blank expression on his face. He kicked his horse and went straight into the camp.

The father and son were left alone for a long while before they dared to get up.

"Dad, how can you suggest that His Majesty treat the Cantonese well?"

"Your Majesty has the whole country in mind, and treats all the people in the world equally, without distinguishing between natives and immigrants."

Zhao De's words were not sincere.
He was actually quite sober.
If I had just wanted to kill someone with a borrowed knife and instigate the army to destroy Guangzhou.

Your Majesty will definitely not let me stay. He will definitely accuse me of a crime and exterminate the entire Zhao family first.

……

Miao Youlin, the on-site commander, climbed up the city wall by the hilt of his sword and looked down at the city.

Keep issuing orders:

"1st Regiment, control the city walls and gates. Close all gates, especially the East Gate, surround the Green Camp soldiers in the city, and accept their surrender."

"The 2nd Regiment controls the governor's office, government warehouses, and military camps."

"3rd Regiment, quickly crush all resistance in the city and declare a curfew."

"The 4th Regiment is on standby in the city."

"The 1st Dispatch Army is to divide the entire city and defeat all resistance within 12 hours."

The staff officer quickly recorded it and handed it to the messenger.

Military judge Captain Xue Chen asked in a low voice:
"Commander-in-chief, where are the dispatched troops?"

Miao Youlin turned his head:
"Do you think there's a problem?"

"No. In order to maintain the image of a civilized army, I want to organize a military court, just in case."

"Yes. I will assign the 5st Company of the 1th Regiment to you. Forget it, I will give you the 123rd Company as well."

"Thank you, Commander-in-Chief."

Both parties are tacitly aware.

……

In Guangzhou City,

After two quarters of an hour of intense gunfire, the sound gradually died down.

The organized and large-scale resistance of the Qing army was basically defeated.

The soldiers encountered groups of Green Camp soldiers.

Volleys of gunfire, then bayonet attempts to persuade them to surrender.

When they encountered enemies hiding in houses, Wu's army's horse-drawn 2-pound cannons moved around and fired directly.

The 2-pound gun is not very powerful, but it can still cause walls and houses to collapse if it is bombarded at close range.

After the city was broken,

Few Qing troops continued to resist, and most of them threw down their weapons and knelt down in surrender.

The Wu army converted a barracks in the city into a prisoner camp.

He supervised the prisoners to repair the walls, move in the barricades, and settle in safely, and gave them a bowl of thin porridge in the morning and evening to sustain their lives.

In ancient times, defenders of cities rarely engaged in street fighting. After the city was captured, they either broke out or surrendered.

If a street fight breaks out, it must be because both sides are filled with deep hatred.

……

The officers of the 1st Expeditionary Corps decided to ask friendly forces to set up roadblocks along the streets around the city.

If there are not enough chevaux de frise, use furniture.

It extends from Dabeimen in the north to Guidemen in the south and starts from Dabeizhi Street in the east.

Then, we began to divide and persuade them to surrender.
The primary target is the garrison general's office.
General Fu Min of Guangzhou gathered hundreds of stubborn bannermen to defend the city, and then poured out their stored firearms and bows and arrows.

Dispatching a legion is simple and crude.

Firewood was piled up in the surrounding houses and poured with kerosene seized from the city walls.

burn!
If you can't be burned to death, you can be suffocated to death.

Eventually, the government office and dozens of surrounding houses were burned down.

……

All over the city,
The clearing area designated for the 1st Battalion was the former Bordered White Banner residential area.

A surrendered Green Camp soldier approached a house tremblingly, holding a white flag.

"Listen, male and female flagmen inside. The Heavenly Soldier Master wants you to surrender. Men can follow the army to push artillery carts, and women can wash clothes. The Wu army is civilized~"

Bang, he was knocked down by a gun.

Hysterical curses were heard from inside the house.

"Civilization your mother~"

……

Alley entrance,
Behind the big locust tree, battalion officer Zhang Laosan instinctively shrank his neck when he heard the gunshot.

The smile on her face faded before it even blossomed.

He shouted in grief:
"Brothers, this is a typical diehard. How dare they reject our good intentions."

"What are you waiting for? Go in and kill them~"

The surrendered soldiers, who had their braids cut off collectively and had bald heads, rushed to the front holding shields.

After a few sporadic gunshots,
Some people fell, but more people jumped over their fallen companions, rushed into the house and killed people.

……

After a while,
Someone ran out holding a bloody knife:
"Report to the third brother, the cleanup is complete."

Zhang Laosan nodded:
"The streets our battalion has been assigned to are too densely populated. Time is short and the mission is heavy. Brothers, you must always remember your superiors' teachings. Our Wu army is a civilized army. As long as the enemy lays down their weapons~"

not far away,
The military justice team was patrolling by.

The surrendered soldiers immediately stood still, raised their swords and shouted:

“Civilization, civilization, civilization.”

The military court team looked straight ahead, circled around and disappeared behind the fence.

……

A dozen surrendered soldiers ran to a large house.

A fat guy holding a sledgehammer separated the crowd and muttered:

"A civilized army will never kill indiscriminately."

"Get out of the way, I'm going to break down the door."

With two clangs, the door lock broke and the screen wall appeared.

Everyone cheered, what a wealthy family.

A lot of valuable things were found in the main hall, flower hall, wing rooms, study, woodshed, and kitchen.

suddenly,

Someone murmured:

"Such a big house, but there is no woman?"

"They probably all fell into the well."

……

When they found the stable,
The fat guy holding the sledgehammer suddenly sniffed his nose and put his finger on his philtrum to signal his companions to be quiet.

Hand, gently pointing to the haystack next to it,
Only then did everyone notice that the haystack was shaking slightly.

A man holding a spear thrust it fiercely at the haystack.

Screaming
A group of women rushed out of the haystack!
One of them had been stabbed in the abdomen by a spear and fell to the ground twitching.

The other women actually held swords in their hands.

Someone was holding a one-foot-long sword that was shining coldly.

Someone was holding a 3-inch short dagger, and it was obvious that he was well versed in the martial arts world. The shorter the dagger, the more dangerous it was.

……

Each of them had an extremely evil look on their face, and one could tell at a glance that they were not good people.

Fatty quickly put down the sledgehammer and said shamelessly:
"Listen carefully, you armed flagmen. Our Wu army is a civilized army. If you lay down your weapons, we will not kill you indiscriminately. Men will be sent to the hard labor camp, and women will be sent to the women's camp."

My companions laughed.
……

"The Eight Banners girl would rather die than surrender. Sisters, let's fight this group of Han thieves."

One of them pulled out a short pistol from his shirt and pulled the trigger at the fat boy's head.

boom,
A lead bullet flew past his ear.

The fat boy sat down on the ground, covering his bleeding ear.

shouted:
"Kill them."

Everyone attacked with spears and axes, and the haystack was soaked with blood.

The fat boy then muttered:

"Damn it, are you stupid?"

“How wonderful~”

"What a pity~"

"Hey~hey~"

Everyone sighed and felt sorry for the body lying in a pool of blood.

Your Majesty is right. The Eight Banners in Guangzhou are determined to resist.

Don't be fooled by his usual playboy appearance, he is very decisive when fighting.

We are all men!

……

There are military orders.
Every house in the city had to be searched and then sealed.

As the surrendered soldiers including Beng Ya were relatively inexperienced, they were assigned to a small alley on the north side of Guangta Road, which was the Zhenglan Banner area of ​​the Han Army.
"This room is not sealed, go in and take a look."

Just opened the door,
boom!
The person walking in front had his head exploded.

The people following behind were so frightened that their foreheads were covered with sweat and they all hid away.

Broken Tooth took the lead, lowered his head and raised his shield, breaking open the door.

then,

I saw a woman standing behind the window, busily loading a musket.

He walked over slowly, holding a knife.
laughed:

"Sister, you haven't loaded your lead bullets yet."

"Yes, yes, just put it in like that. Very good, very good. But sister, why are your hands shaking?"

……

The woman had a mental breakdown.

He fell to his knees and cried loudly:

"Spare your life, spare your life."

Bengya turned the handle of the knife and hit the back of the head hard, knocking him out easily.

Facing the questioning of his companions,
He grinned, revealing his missing front teeth:

"If you often walk by the river, your shoes won't get wet."

"I'm not cursing my brothers. After 12 hours, the number of brothers who died at the hands of women will not be less than this number."

He stretched out his palm and shook it back and forth.

It turns out that

Not only was Beng Ya not talking nonsense, he also underestimated it.

The 1st Battalion alone far exceeded this number.

……

Logically speaking, these three rooms are not big.

Bengya searched the house inside and out but found nothing.

Everyone left.

Just as he was about to put up the seal, Broken Tooth suddenly turned around and rushed into the house, yelling:
"Come out, I see you."

The house was dead silent.
Everyone laughed.

"Broken Tooth, you are hallucinating."

"Maybe."

Beng Ya said something perfunctorily but he couldn't help looking up and down.

He always felt that it smelled like a living person.

But ~
It’s such a small place, but I can’t find it.

……

When going out,
He thought about it, grabbed a torch and threw it onto the roof.

He left only after seeing the house engulfed in flames.

"Broken Tooth, you are such a bad boy."

He shook his head and smiled:
"Burn it to drive away the evil spirits."

After everyone left,
A figure ran out of the fire, staggering, and quickly disappeared into the darkness.

……

Night came,

As someone said,

Even the guard dogs kept all over the city were chopped into pieces by the soldiers and thrown into the spicy hot pot.

The copper pot was found in the house, the spices and pepper were taken from the kitchen, and the fuel was split furniture. They were self-sufficient and well-fed.
The men enjoyed the food.

No one has worn armor for a long time. Wearing that thing for a whole day would make people tired to death.

When eating hotpot, you must have music.

The soldiers of the expeditionary army made use of local materials and found dozens of banner women who had been "persuaded to surrender" and sang and danced with them.

The costumes and makeup are not very particular:
The top is the flag head, the bottom is the flower pot bottom, and there is nothing in the middle~
Anyway,

The process was very civilized.

Because everyone is really tired!

Even a ruthless man like Zhang Laosan would grumble about sleeping for a full 12 hours after eating.

……

History is always so humorous.

After being incorporated into the 1st Expeditionary Corps, the Green Camp surrendered soldiers with poor combat effectiveness became fierce and fierce.

Before attacking Guangzhou,
The dispatched legion consisted of 9000 people.

After entering Guangzhou,
Including the wounded, there were still 4000 people left in the dispatched corps.

After 12 hours, the whole city was filled with

2800 people left~
Many people died inexplicably, and when their bodies were found they still had smiles on their faces.

……

Such an outrageous casualty ratio would shock anyone.

This group of people performed very actively in the battle to clear out the diehard elements in the city.

At night, search with torches.

During the day, he continued searching with bloodshot eyes.

On average, each person changed three swords, and the blades were often bent.

As the saying goes:
A servant who doesn't want to ride on his master's clothes is not a good servant.

As a human being, everyone has a desire to make progress. How could a lowly green camp soldier resist such temptation?

Li Yu lamented:

"The resistance of the Manchus in Guangzhou is rare in the world. I believe that the combat effectiveness of the Manchus in Guangzhou should be ranked among the top three among the eight local garrison banners."

"Spread the word to the north, let them know that all the people in Guangzhou have been recruited as soldiers and all have died in battle. I want to move the Eight Banners and move Emperor Qianlong."
