Chapter 623: The Tartars Begin to Slaughter the City
The city of Shaoxing changed hands again.
But what happened next was as everyone expected.
At least Wu Zheng couldn't have imagined that the Tartars would slaughter the city at this time.
In fact, Dodor did not give such an order.
The difference between man and beast is that man is polite, beast is unreasonable, and Tartar is like a beast.
The Qing soldiers, especially the Qing soldiers who escaped from Shaoxing Mansion, fought such a confused battle, and were actually defeated by a rabble, and the resentment in their hearts reached the point where it was difficult to repeat.
Thus, a massacre was unstoppable.
Anyone who has the slightest involvement with the rebels, kill!
Whoever helped the rebels yesterday, kill!
Those who went out last night, kill!
…… Kill and rise, until you see anyone and kill them.
For a time, the entire Shaoxing City was bloody and bloody, like hell on earth.
Fortunately, the rescue came quickly.
After Song An and Zhang Mingzhen broke up in Guali, they went straight to Shaoxing City, and he was the first Ming army to recover Shaoxing City.
Song An's intention was to take over the defense of Shaoxing City, which would be equivalent to giving his young master a way to retreat.
As long as Shaoxing City is held, the young master can attack and retreat.
So, march all the way.
In fact, the distance from Guali to Shaoxing City is not far, and it is not much different from Shangyu, one is in the north and the other is in the southeast.
To be precise, about half an hour after the Qing army entered Shaoxing City, Song An was only a dozen miles away from Shaoxing City with a musket battalion.
After encountering the first batch of fugitive civilians in the city, and learning that the Qing army was slaughtering the city, Song An issued a death order to "slaughter all the Guali prisoners, and not a single Tartar prisoner will be left behind".
That's right, at this time, Song An no longer taboos the loss of musketeers.
is a human being, there will always be some untouchable bottom line, Song An, who has seen the Jiading massacre with Wu Zheng, finally revealed his fangs that he had been hiding well.
Two thousand seven hundred musketeers, Huo Ran sped up his speed and shot at Shaoxing City like a sharp arrow.
The reason why people are called human beings is because people have self-control, and it takes courage to kill.
When the mood is normal, even the Tartars will not go on a killing spree.
But at this time, the Tartar was indeed crazy.
Blood can make people fearful, but it can also make people crazy, crazy like demons.
Crazy is definitely not a compliment.
Because madness can make people not afraid of death, can make people improve their combat power, can make people's physical strength exceed the limit, and so on.
But it also has many disadvantages, such as calmness, such as vigilance.
Song An led his troops into the north gate of Shaoxing City, which was also like entering a no-man's land.
But the two are different.
The Qing army is like entering a no-man's land, because the people in the city no longer dare to stop it, and there is no leader like Zhang Ada in the city, and the people are like a group of sheep without wolf command, they can only sit back and watch others and even themselves be slaughtered.
Song An led the army into a no-man's land, but because the Qing army occupying Shaoxing City was busy killing people from house to house in the city, and did not care about the defense of the city gates.
The two armies met in the streets of the city, and a fierce battle ensued.
The musketeers were put to the test of survival.
In the first round, a round of guns knocked down dozens of Tartars.
The Tartars began to attack the musketeers along the sides of the street.
The muskets simply could not hit them.
For example, if one party shoots at an enemy sixty or seventy paces away with a musket, the enemy does not need to move, and it is normal to miss the shot, and it is a strange thing to hit it.
At this time, the lethality of the musket lies in concentrating fire and shooting at dense targets without aiming.
But these cannot be reflected in street fighting.
Fortunately, Wu Zheng's words at the military academy played a role.
Chen Shoujie, the son-in-law of Chen Yujie, a known Ming artillery expert, after giving a speech at Wu Zheng Military Academy, equipped 3,000 musketeers with short swords, short swords that could be embedded in the barrel of the musket.
This is probably the easiest thing to do among all Wu Zheng's suggestions.
This suggestion saved the musketeers.
The Qing army was all infantry, and there was no cavalry.
The musket was six or seven feet long, and with a one-foot-five-inch short sword, it was almost a long spear.
Seeing that the shooting could not stop the Qing army, Song An gave an order in time, equipped with a short sword, and fought hand-to-hand with the enemy.
It is conceivable that the Qing army never realized that muskets could be used as spears, and when a row of "spears" suddenly stabbed out, I am afraid that no flesh and blood can compete.
After dropping more than a hundred corpses, the Qing army retreated under the cover of bows and arrows.
The musketeers were terrified, and at the same time lacked shields and other protective gear, so they did not dare to chase them.
The two sides lived in the north and south of Shaoxing City and entered a temporary stalemate.
……。
Prince Yu Duoduo, who set up his headquarters in Baiguan, was eager to penetrate.
He did not wait for the Qing army of Guali and the Qing army of 2,000 to reinforce Shaoxing City, but waited for the remnants of Bolo who should not have come.
This made Duoduo extremely angry, so much so that Bolo, the king of the Qing court, was slapped by Duoduo alive.
But Duoduo was calm and quick.
Although the continuous battles were lost, the casualties of the Qing army were not large.
Even if Boluo's department was disabled, Shengxian was still in his hands.
Instead, Dodor found a fighter from these defeats, which lit up his eyes.
Around Wu Zheng, there are only less than 2,000 tired divisions?
Beheading.
As long as Wu Zhengsuo's department is annihilated, the Ming army of Shaoxing Mansion will be leaderless.
At this time, good news came.
The city of Shaoxing was again occupied by the Qing army.
Duoduo breathed a sigh of relief, there were three battlefields in Shaoxing Mansion, and he still controlled two, Shaoxing City and Lihai, so the war was still okay.
So he ordered Bolo to take over the 1,600 Chinese army under his command, ready to wait for work at ease, and take Wu Zheng's tired army by surprise.
But the problem is that until it gets dark, Wu Zheng's department has not appeared.
Duoduo and Bolo stared wide-eyed, where did Wu Zheng go?
Such a team disappeared out of thin air?
At this time, the scouts sent back to report, "Before the enemy army disappeared, the last thing to stay was Lianghu. ”
Duoduo hurriedly took the map to check, but Shaoxing is the mansion, Shangyu is the county, and Lianghu is just a small ancient town, and there is indeed the name of Lianghu on the map, but there is no trail to be found.
Duoduo and Bolo could only look at the map and sigh.
Bolo thought for a moment and said, "Otherwise, I'll lead someone to search the same way?" ”
Duoduo shook his head and said, "Retreat!" ”
"What?" Bolo was stunned, "Wu can't fight for more than a thousand tired soldiers, but we still have nearly 2,000 people in 100 officials, and our army still has the strength to fight." ”
Still shaking his head, "Never take your opponent lightly, and never take any chances. Mark my words, and it will keep you alive to victory. ”
Bo Luo thought thoughtfully, "Does the king think that Wu Zheng's sudden disappearance is a conspiracy?" ”
"Whether there is a conspiracy or not, this king will treat him as if he has a conspiracy. As long as he doesn't show up, what if the king asks him to go back, give an order, and the whole army will go east to join our army in Lihai. ”
