The position of the Shun artillery team on Qilin Mountain was beaten by its own artillery team, and the sound of fire explosions continued, and the screams were clearly audible, which made the Qing army infantry team suppressed by the Shun army in the Yuanwang ditch very excited.

Before the sound of the cannon stopped, Sun Sike had already jumped up, holding his own flag in his left hand, holding the sword made of iron and steel in his right hand, and roared: "Defeat Qilin Mountain, enter Tongguan City, the general's grace, and the whole army will have a three-day holiday!" Kill! ”

"Defeat Qilin Mountain, enter Tongguan City, and the whole army will have a three-day holiday! Kill! ”

The house slave guards of the Sun family's father and son shouted in unison and rushed forward with Sun Sike!

The people scattered in the ditch were suddenly demoralized, originally! These officers and soldiers who surrendered to the Shun army from the Ming army originally thought that with these thieves, they could burn, kill, loot and commit adultery wherever they went, as the officials and gentry said, and save themselves from hanging a fig leaf for the Ming officials. However, I didn't expect that the Dashun army, which crossed the river all the way into Beijing City, was on the rise, so it was natural to take military discipline seriously and refuse to kill and loot at will. Naturally, this disappointed these people.

However, fortunately, all of us are junjie who know the current affairs, and seeing that the Dashun Army is not the right master of the destiny of heaven, even if we abandon the darkness and turn to the light, we will return to the Qing Dynasty, which comes from the east of the purple qi. It's better to be clear! It can give our brothers a place where they can show their abilities to the fullest. After breaking through the city, what a massacre! Looting! Robbery! Seeing a young and beautiful little lady, let her do something with us that talented and beautiful heroes, heroes and heroes like to see! Daqing not only doesn't care, but lets us continue to work hard! Also, think about how many times I entered the customs and cut down the Ming Dynasty in the Qing Dynasty, isn't it also this kind of thing? I knew that Daqing and we were like-minded, and we had already made up our hearts to work with Daqing!

The Qing army, which had high morale, naturally did not need Sun Sike to rush ahead to boost morale, and the crowd gradually swarmed from both sides of his flag and rushed towards Qilin Mountain at the mouth of the ditch.

"Someone! Resist the pistol! Sun Sike saw at least two battalions of soldiers and horses rushing forward, and immediately turned pale and gave an order. Hundreds of spears were attached to a tripod hastily nailed out of thick trees, and the sharp heads of the spears were slanted outward, as if the hedgehogs and porcupines had opened their spikes.

On the mountain beam not far from him, the two thousand spearmen led by Cao Rong also relied on the mountainous terrain to line up the formation. Like a hungry wolf, he stared at the Qilin Mountain not far away.

At the east entrance of Yuanwanggou, Sun Degong led tens of thousands of Qing troops to wait in a queue, ready to take turns to kill in, rush to Qilin Mountain, and go straight to Tongguan City.

The rumbling cannon roared loudly, and in the smoke and dust of the fire, the screams and neighing of men and horses continued, and from time to time Qing troops were smashed and brought to the ground.

Because the road on the side of the mountain next to the Yuanwang ditch is narrow and there is very little space to dodge, the Shun army pushed out the huge, carved round stones from the cover ditch, rushed down the hillside, and directly smashed the soldiers of the charging Qing army into the Yuanwang ditch.

General Wang Bing, who led the troops and horses of his headquarters to charge to attack Yuanwanggou, saw that one of his battalion commanders was hit by a stone that rolled down from the hillside, and when he was smashed into two pieces by the waist, his upper body was smashed into the air by a huge impact, and he fell into Yuanwanggou with a scream. It is said that he has been smashed into two sections, even if he is a good person, falling from this high and steep ditch, I am afraid that it will take a long time to come up from the bottom of the ditch with a muffled sound of the corpse falling to the ground.

In the flying dust, the rain fell like rolling wood and stones, and the hundreds of candidates under the command of General Wang who took the lead in rushing forward were either smashed directly into the deep ditch one by one, or smashed so that their brains burst on the spot, their limbs were broken and they died on the spot, in short, none of them were spared. Seeing that the faces of the people under the command of General Wang changed greatly, they were silent, and the steps under their feet gradually slowed down.

The situation of the Qing army on the other way to the east gate was not much better, and the official road ran next to the root of the mountain wall. Meander up until you reach the Arrow Tower Urn City. If these Qing troops running along the official road could stand in a high enough position, they would find that their offensive routes were all within the range of the fire of the Shun army on the hillside and the castle tower, and even within the range of the attack of rolling logs and stones.

The rain of rolling logs and stones was thrown, screaming again and again, one after another Qing officers and soldiers were hit, and the rest saw the dust flying overhead, and the dense rolling logs or stones kept whistling, they either hurriedly pulled out their horses and ran back, or even panicked, rushed down the steep hillside by the official road, and rushed to the bank of the Yellow River.

"Bastard thing!" Wang Zongbing was a decisive man, leading his subordinates to supervise the battle, and cut off the heads of the two unlucky guys. "The longer you stay here, the better your chances of dying! Don't rush up yet! ”

Retreating, it is the spear and axe of the Eight Banners Manchurian soldiers and horses in the east, and it is Sun Sike's rejection of the horse and gun array, and the advance is just the rolling wood and stone of the thieves, besides, the rolling wood and stone are not available at any time, in case there is that artemisia on the head of our ancestral grave, we should not die, we should be promoted and rich? Thinking of this, the Qing soldiers gritted their teeth and shouted in unison.

"Kill!"

"Kill into Tongguan City, don't seal the knife for three days!"

Perhaps it was the rolling wood and stones piled up in the low walls of several trenches on the hillside that had almost been consumed in the round of attacks just now, and this time, the Qing soldiers rushed up the hillside smoothly!

"Up!"

A loud suona sounded. Behind the first trench and the low wall, someone shouted and gave an order. Immediately after, along the chest-high low wall, dense human heads instantly appeared. Nearly a thousand archers drew their hard bows, and clusters of arrows glowing with a dark blue light were coldly aimed at the crowd that was trying to rush towards the mountain.

The troops guarding Tongguan were all descendants of the original peasant army in the Dashun army. Even if it is not the basic plate of the old department that broke into the camp, it is also from the Cao Battalion or the troops of the Fifth Battalion of the Hui Revolution. Needless to say, equipment and combat effectiveness. One-third of the hard bows in the hands of these archers were copper-armed iron-tired bows bought from Nanzhong merchants over the years, and the rest were made of good horned bows made from the horns of bison obtained by Ruoshui Dao Chang in the hometown of Yin Shang. These bison horns are much larger in size than the yellow horns and buffalo horns in the Central Plains, and the bone quality is even more preferred. To make a hard bow is indeed the best choice. Although these hard bows can only be used as hunting tools and militia equipment in the Nanyue Army, and distributed to reclamation immigrants, they are good things that cannot be sought after in the eyes of the Dashun Army, which uses both hot and cold weapons! Arrow clusters and arrow feathers are also the best choices for a while. The manufacturing process is carried out in full accordance with the quality standards required for the creation of weapons when the Ming Dynasty was founded. At this point, the Shun army on the mountain, like the Qing army under the mountain, strictly inherited and implemented the standards of Zhu Yuanzhang's father and son.

"Shoot the arrows!"

Behind the first chest wall, the officer of the Dashun Army waved the sword in his hand, and suddenly, the sound of "jumping" in his ears did not stop. Nearly a thousand hard bows poured the first wave of arrows at the Qing army on the hillside! In an instant, the sky seemed to darken!

The hundreds of Qing officers and soldiers who rushed to the front on the hillside secretly shouted in their hearts: "Bitter! "If it's a battle on the plains, or a siege battle, they may be able to hold shields of all colors. Or shield the cart in front to protect against arrows. However, how can this mountain attack be sheltered by a shield car? It is a variety of round shields and leather shields, and many people also think that it is in the way and does not carry it. At this time, I thought about it, but it was too late!

The "whoosh" of arrows piercing through the air, the muffled sound of the arrows piercing through the armor and penetrating into the flesh and bones of people, and the screams that followed, formed a symphony on the hillside. With just one round of arrows, the hundreds of people who rushed up the hillside of General Wang's soldiers lay down on the hillside, dead or wounded, and the corpses and wounded soldiers were intertwined.

"Rush up to Lao Tzu!" Wang Zongbing waved his sword, and pushed aside an arrow that had weakened, and let the arrow shoot into the loess at his feet, and the shaft of the arrow trembled slightly in the wind. In front of him, the hundreds of selected forwards he recruited with a heavy reward have been completely lost. Most of these people are his subordinates, although they are not the core forces of his family's own soldiers, but they are really distressed to him even if they are damaged like this.

These bows and arrows of the Dashun army are not only strong, the arrows are sharp, and the archers shoot accurately! Although it is not a hundred steps through the Yang, what is the shooting of the eagle, but at this distance, shooting the Qing soldiers is extremely accurate.

One by one, these Qing officers and soldiers who were hit by arrows were either shot in the face, or in the neck, or in the eyes.

A general, was shot through the neck by a sharp arrow, although there was an iron leaf collar blocked, but the sharp arrow was fierce, the arrow still pierced through the past, forming a through wound in the neck, such as the blood injected with the arrow shaft, arrowhead, arrow feathers are dyed bright red.

And the other Qianzong, although he was wearing iron armor, but he was hit by four arrows in the front door, he screamed loudly, and fell to the ground with his back to the sky. Presumably, because he was dressed in iron armor, he stood out among a group of soldiers with only cotton armor, so he became the preferred target of many archers.

Among the Qing officers and soldiers who were shot by this round of arrows, these officers wearing iron-inlaid cotton armor and iron armor were better, after all, they had iron helmets and armor to protect themselves, as long as they were not in critical places such as faces, necks, and eyes, even if they were shot in the chest or other places, most of the sharp arrows could not break the armor, and even if they were shot through, they would not be fatal. Those soldiers who wore leather armor or uninlaid iron cotton armor were in serious condition, and several of them were shot deep into the chest by sharp arrows, fearing that their lives would not be saved. As for the ordinary soldiers who only have a crotch and a crotch on their bodies, their life and death can only depend on whether the gods and Buddhas open their eyes.

Wang Zongbing's face had a dead look on his face, and he couldn't cry anymore. This time, he suffered heavy losses. He was burned by the Shun army, and then bombarded with artillery, and now, before he could touch the thieves in front of him, a round of arrows made him lose hundreds of good soldiers.

The officers under his command were all like mourners, their faces were like earth, and they heard the howling and moaning of the wounded soldiers on the hillside not far away, which was extremely miserable and upset when they heard it, and everyone just didn't hear it, they didn't dare to propose to save it, otherwise they might fold themselves in.

"Handsome! What are we going to do?! The general who commanded the main barracks for General Wang's army stumbled over and asked him for instructions. Although they are now the soldiers and horses of the Qing Dynasty, in a hurry, these people still blurted out and called their lord a commander.

Before he met with the Dashun army, nearly 2,000 men and horses had already been thrown in. This cost is not heavy. However, if he just turns around and goes back, not to mention whether Cao Beile and Prince Yu will kill him by marching the military method, he can't afford to lose this capital alone!

"Damn! Rush up to us! Kill the thieves! ”

"You can't just let your brothers die in vain!"

"Kill!"

After two rounds of arrow rain, the Qing officers and soldiers, under the command of General Wang, either piled up the corpses of the dead robes, built temporary gun emplacements, set up various small cannons they carried, and fired at the Shun artillery on the hillside to bombard the chest wall. Or simply erect those corpses and use the robes' still warm bodies to shield themselves from arrows and cannons!

"Kill the Tartars!"

Bursts of shouts erupted from the trenches and behind the breastwork, and the soldiers of the Shun army shouted, each with his sword and gun, and rushed out. In the blink of an eye, the two torrents of the Shun army and the Qing army collided in one place. Countless flesh and blood, stumps and broken bones are the waves produced by the collision of these two torrents, the chaotic sound of swords and guns, and the screams and moans that make people sore and cold, are the huge waves produced by the impact!

In the interval of breaths, the battlefield becomes the Shura field.

The archers of the Shun army on the hillside kept getting up from behind the breastwork in turn, throwing arrows at the rear team of the Qing army rushing up on the hillside, suppressing the charging team of the Qing army and providing strong support for their brothers. Before the short drum was finished, the archers of the Shun army on the mountain each shot four or five arrows, and within a distance of less than twenty paces from the earthen wall, the white arrow feathers were everywhere, like many reeds growing on the flat ground, and most of the Qing soldiers under the arrow feathers were moaning and bleeding.

And the soldiers on both sides who fought hand-to-hand fought suffered even heavier casualties.

The flow of people on both sides collided and fought together. Someone fell almost every moment, and Mr. Wang, under the escort of his own soldiers, was involved in the crowd of people fighting. He himself didn't know that he had cut down a few Shun soldiers with the iron and steel sword in his hand, and he didn't know how many of the pro-soldiers around him had been put down by the Shun army's various weapons, and he himself had been left with several huge wounds by the Shun army's swords and guns. What broke through Tongguan for three days of vacation, and what Guanzhong field was for you to go to the horse race to occupy it, these have long been thrown out of the clouds. The residual consciousness in his mind was to hold the hilt of the sword in his hand tightly, keep slashing and stabbing, fighting to the death with the Shun army, and throwing all his depression on the battlefield.

was killing sexually, but he heard an exclamation in his ears, which was the shouting of the leader of the pro-soldiers beside him, and he lowered his head and looked at it in surprise, I don't know when. Blood gushed out of the gaps in the breastplate on his chest, appearing on the armor beneath the breastplate. When I looked at it again, a huge hole appeared under the right chest. Not far away, a Shunjun gunman with a short-handled mourning door in his hand shouted happily: "I overthrew a Tartar official!" Before the words fell, several of Wang Zongbing's personal soldiers pounced on them with knives and guns, and cut them into meat puree.

Wang Zongbing didn't care about this, as soon as his right hand was released, the sword in his hand fell to the ground, and his whole body also fell down, when his body came into contact with the mud mixed with blood and body fluids on the ground. The last thought in my mind: "Is this death?" Am I going to die? ”

"The Tartars are broken! The Tartars are broken! ”

The death of General Wang was undoubtedly the biggest blow to the morale of the Qing troops present. Since the beginning of the war, although the officers may be killed at any time, the loss of a general soldier at the beginning of the fight is undoubtedly the most serious blow to the morale of the attacking Qing army.

As a result, some people were afraid of the law promulgated by Prince Yu and fought desperately. Some people are new and timid, looking around, and some people simply once again show the chameleon's housekeeping skills, reversing the water on the battlefield, waving swords and guns at friendly troops, announcing that they are anyway, and returned to the arms of the Dashun army. In short, the men and horses of General Wang's army in this town have been unable to form effective resistance, under the pressure of the strong counterattack of the Shun army. Start and step by step.

The morale of the Shun army was even higher. Under the command of a general Guo Yi, one hundred and ten soldiers of the Shun army quickly killed Wang Zongbing's personal soldiers, snatched his body and recognized the flag, and stood up in the crowd.

"Let's cut off the vanguard of the Tartars!"

That General Guo Yi ordered several pikemen to pick up the corpse of General Wang with spears, and personally waved the captured flag of General Wang's soldiers, and beheaded the generals to capture the flag, which has always been a great achievement in the army, and he couldn't help but feel a little proud: "Brothers, sons!" The vanguard of the Tartars has been beheaded by us, kill the Tartars, and make meritorious contributions! ”

"Kill the Tartars! Merit! ”

Seeing this, the morale of the officers and men of Shun was greatly boosted, and the officers and soldiers shouted loudly almost at the same time: "Kill! "They have already discovered that the Qing army that rushed up was a fake Xibei goods. They were all former Ming officers and soldiers who shaved their hair after surrendering to the Qing army. The armor, swords, and guns have not been replaced, so they pretend to be pigtail soldiers. Small, do you think you don't know you when you wear a vest? In the eyes of these Dashun Army, which is the basic part of the peasant army, when did they look at these former Ming officers and soldiers?

After a short hand-to-hand battle, the remnants of General Wang's army once again abandoned three or four hundred corpses and began to run backwards. When they retreated, the general army of Hu who was still struggling to support in the direction of Tongguan City Tower was also in turmoil, and General Hu led by Rao was personally slashed to death three or four officers and soldiers who escaped with his own hands, and it was to no avail, and he was even swept away by the defeated soldiers in the direction of Yuanwanggou Goukou!

And waiting for them at the mouth of the ditch was Sun Sike, whose face was blue and full of murderous energy.

"This group of minions, who escaped from the battle, were all killed!"

Sun Sike coldly issued an order, as if it was not a human being who would be executed, but a herd of pigs and sheep.

"General Sun! Slow down! Let's let someone die in front of the battle! In that way, Hu's wife and children can still be preserved! ”

General Hu also saw the opportunity quickly, and hurriedly shouted loudly. The military discipline of the Qing army was strict, and all the officers and soldiers who were executed by military law and the families who remained in the rear were also extremely miserable. The family members were held hostage, which is one of the reasons why the surrendered Ming army was so effective overnight. As for saying that the family will be the end of the gods, let's go and see the fate of the female dependents after the Li family of Suzhou Weaving and the Cao family of Jiangnan Weaving were raided. Pull outside and sell!

It is said that Zhu Di dealt with the female dependents of Tie Xuan, Qi Tai, Huang Zicheng and others very cruelly, and sent them to the Teaching Department as prostitutes. What" dressed in brocade clothes Wei ordered Shangyuan County to carry it outside the door, and the dog ate it, Qin this! ”

There are two records in the "Records of the Nanjing Law Division": "On the eleventh day of the first month of the eleventh year of Yongle, the Jiaofang Division played at the door of Youshun: Sister Qi Tai and her nephew and daughter-in-law, and Huang Zicheng Sister four women, every night and night, more than 20 men guarded, the young ones were pregnant, in addition to giving birth to a child to make a little turtle, and there were three-year-old women, playing the holy decree. Feng Qinyi: By him. No, when you grow up, you're a whoop and a slut! "Tie Xuan's wife, Yang's Chinese New Year's Eve, sent to the Sect Division; Mao Dafang's wife, Zhang, was fifty-six years old and sent to the Teaching Workshop Division. Zhang died of illness, and the secretary of the teaching workshop played in Fengtianmen. By holy order: Ordered Shangyuan County to carry out the door, and the dog ate it. Chin this. ”

As a result, this fourth master of Zhu Di has been portrayed countless times as a tyrant, executioner, pervert and many other images in the pen of the literati. Deserve! Who told you to disrespect us readers? Who made you not know Corporal Lixian? Who made you intolerable for us to point our noses at you and scold you? This kind of behavior is even described in the article of the famous Zhejiang Zhou Shu.

In his "Miscellaneous Conversations After Illness", he said: "What kind of place was the teaching workshop at that time? The wives and daughters of sinners were not waiting for their clients there, but according to the law of Yongle, they were to be "transferred to camps", that is, they were to go to each barracks for a few days, in order to make them humiliated by the majority of men, and to give birth to "little turtles" and "lewd children". ”

However, don't forget, Zhu Di almost died under the plot of these people several times, and such a disposal method is just a kind of revenge. Just ask, if Zhu Di dies under their power and means, just like several other princes who have been cut down, what will they do? However, the methods of the fourth master of Yongzheng against the Cao family and the Li family are indescribable. It doesn't seem to be seen that there are too many words to abuse.

Moreover, according to the handling of the fourth master of Yongzheng, the Cao family, the Li family and other families are just to recover your deficit treasury silver! That is to say, if you eat mine, you will spit it out, and if you take mine, you will send it back. In this way, Cao Dacai also complained for three hundred years. If he really let him enjoy Zhu Siye's methods, I am afraid that he, a black and fat man, will become a thin man. (Huh!) The unkind author wants to replenish his own brains again, doesn't he say that "the whole family eats porridge and wine often on credit"? How can you still be a black fat man's body type? This is really like the life of more than 20 chickens to season an eggplant and a quail egg for a tael of silver in Nanjing. And directly into the Yokozuna level? ）

The history of the Ming Dynasty and various notes record that after Zhu Di ascended the throne, it took 11 years to kill and purge the "traitors" in the first batch, including 873 people killed in the case of Fang Xiaoru, 217 people abandoned the city in the case of Hu Yan, thousands of people died in the sitting, and hundreds of families were confiscated. The so-called "nationality", in fact, according to modern terms, expelled nationality and no longer enjoy the treatment of citizens of the Ming Dynasty became a lowly nationality. To put it bluntly, the imperial examination is not possible, and the three generations of lowly people from the good cannot take the imperial examination. It's the rule.

And the lowly ones have the lowly trades, which are servants, subordinates, soaps, prostitutes, lings, and slaves. It's all from the government. It's not private yet. What are these professions? The government has a long entourage for officials. It is a servant, a servant of the state, who serves the officials. The subdivision can be divided into sedan chair man, companion, long attendant, regular servant, man, rough servant, etc. When the officials returned or were convicted, they returned to the local yamen to wait for dispatch. These people are the same officials who were propagandized when they were children. This is a promising profession for our oppressed working people.

Therefore, it is a natural and elegant thing for the literati to bring the tenant's daughter-in-law to the house to nurse and enjoy the tenant's daughter's right to the first night. Once such a thing falls on your head, it will be a big rebellion, and you must use a bald pen in your hand to scold you and scold you, so that you will bear thousands of years of infamy. Haven't we experienced this kind of thing for decades?
