"Hit, hit me hard!"

Zheng Sen was standing in an artillery position at this time, and he heard the high-pitched shouts of the artillery commander in his ears.

The two armies were fighting fiercely, but this was the last opportunity for their artillery to make meritorious contributions.

Sending shells one by one across the battle line to the rear of the Qing army, not to mention completely blocking the Tartars' reinforcement routes, will also add a little trouble to the Tartars. This was the last thing their artillery did in this battle.

All artillery fire was fired at full speed. The sound of artillery was accompanied by gunsmoke, and he wanted to annihilate the entire Kaifeng East City.

The resistance of the Qing army was not unstoppable, but if it could not be stopped, it could not be stopped.

Zu Gui is very daring to fight, Xu Yong is also daring to fight, both of them are quite capable of fighting and killing, and they are also willing to serve Zu Zerun for the Manchu Qing Dynasty. And the team he leads is also reliable.

But at present, Kaifeng City is also garrisoned by tens of thousands of horses, but there may only be these two reliable teams in the entire city!

When the Iron Man Army, dressed in iron armor and armed with a broadsword, entered the battlefield, the victorious scales quickly tilted towards the Zheng army.

The entire vicinity of the breach was already filled with dead bodies. The bodies on both sides were stacked on top of each other.

Zheng Zhilong looked at the soldiers in front of him, and his eyes were dyed with a hint of nostalgia. Maybe a hundred years later, the Zheng Empire still retains the name of the Iron Man Army, but the Iron Man Army at that time must not be the Iron Man Army now. Hoplites in iron armor like this in front of them, let alone a hundred years of time, even now seem to be behind the times.

They were the first heavy infantry in Zheng's army, but they must also be the last.

The brilliance of cold weapons has declined, and the brilliance of heavy infantry has naturally dissipated with it.

But he himself will never forget this army. Because this is the first army of "he" in the true sense of the word.

Zheng Feng and Zheng Qun, both of whom were Zheng Zhilong's henchmen, were both Zheng Zhilong's henchmen and bodyguards, the latter wore heavy armor in the Battle of Yanzhou, led the Iron Man Army, and followed Zheng Sen to charge into battle.

Zheng Zhilong is now sent by Zheng Fengying. These Iron Man soldiers, generally more than 1.8 meters tall, can be called a giant battalion in China in this era!

"Rush, ......"

Under the cover of artillery fire, Zheng Feng waved the big knife in his hand and roared.

Behind him, thousands of Iron Man soldiers shouted loudly, took a big stride, and rushed towards Kaifeng City.

If there are a large number of Eight Banners True Tartar in the Qing army in the city, then it is easy to say. But the problem is that the main force of the Qing army in the city is the green flag, and even one-third of these green skins are equipped with leather armor and cotton armor. Therefore, Zu Zerun couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of spit when he saw the Iron Man Army for the first time, and he knew that this city really couldn't be defended.

Gunshots rang out slightly, and one by one the Iron Man soldiers rushed into the gap. As soon as he fought with the Qing soldiers, he was like a bamboo. Zu Gui and Xu Yong shouted out their voices, and there was no use for half a bird!

"Major General be careful." Xu Ding's tiger mouth was torn, and his thick-backed saber fell to the ground, and the next moment he was thrown aside by his own soldiers, and then his whole person was quickly carried back by his own soldiers.

But his eyes kept staring ahead, watching the big man in iron armor, wielding a horse slashing knife to kill several of his own family soldiers.

As Xu Yong's eldest son, he grew up in the barracks, and his courage was not given in vain. Today he was so defeated that he had nothing to say.

After the big man brandished a broadsword and hacked two more Qing soldiers to death, several gunshots rang out not far away, and the projectiles ejected from the firelight hit the iron armor on the man's chest. With a "bang", I saw that the whole person of the big man was like a heavy punch, and his body took three or four steps backwards, falling on a pile of ruins.

No matter how brave a man is, he can't withstand the accumulation of bullets. This big man is proficient in martial arts, wearing thick armor, and he is a brave general in the era of cold weapons, but now, it only takes a few cheap projectiles to kill him.

But Xu Ding's face didn't show any smile, because the entire battlefield was full of ironclad soldiers like this big man.

The thick armor that bullets can penetrate, but there are very few Qing soldiers who have the opportunity to shoot guns, and the knives and guns in the hands of most Qing soldiers are even more powerless against the thick armor on the Iron Man Army.

To deal with such heavy infantry, it is necessary to use blunt armor-piercing weapons. Such as axes, hammers, sticks, iron whips, etc. However, where will the Qing army in Kaifeng be there?

The brutal hand-to-hand combat quickly divided the winner and loser!

The elite forces under Zu Gui and Xu Yong quickly reduced their numbers, and the Qing soldiers who resisted the first two attacks of the Zheng army were crushed by the Iron Man Army with absolute combat power.

In desperation, Zu Zerun gathered his team and turned around and fled to the west of the city. Tell him to lead people to rush up and plug the hole? That's really not an ancestral family.

Zu Zerun fled, Luo Jinxiu fled, Zu Gui and Xu Yong naturally fled. On the bright side, Kaifeng City, which was held by 30,000 or 40,000 Qing troops, was taken, and Zheng Zhi captured more than 10,000 people. It's a pity that few of them are Eight Banner Tartars.

Duoduo led the Eight Banners Tartars to squat in Heluo, even if Kaifeng was in a hurry, he didn't see him move a step away from Heluo, but he couldn't stop exerting pressure on Li Shunjun in Tongguan.

Obviously, the Manchus were not prepared to give Li Zicheng the possibility of entering the Central Plains in the east.

The Manchu magnates in Yanjing City were also unimpressed by the loss of Kaifeng, and their eyes were focused on the outside of the pass. Zheng Hongkui has already led his troops to Liaoyang, and the previous Yaozhou, Haizhou, Niuzhuang, Anshan and other places have not been able to stop him at all.

The two red flags left outside the pass and all of them are there, Daishan has already sent some soldiers and horses into the pass, and only 10,000 main forces are left to guard the huge pass. It stands to reason that this was a very strong military force, with the Han soldiers and Baoyi Aha, and even the Shaomin who were conquered by the Manchus, which was enough to maintain the order they had established outside the Guan.

Just like the Manchu Qing Dynasty in history, all the main forces of the Eight Banners entered the customs, and the people who remained in the nest did not even have half of the current ones. To deal with Lao Maozi's vanguard troops, they had to transfer troops to North Korea, but even so, they also calmly suppressed the vast land outside the Guan.

But now it's different. Zheng Hongkui had 30,000 Lu divisions under his command, which was a force that the Tartars could not resist at all.

Not to mention that the soldiers and horses of the two red flags are scattered outside the entire pass, even if tens of thousands of people are concentrated in Liaoyang by Daishan, it is useless.

After Zheng Hongkui led the army to take the Shanhai Pass, and then beat the Wu Sangui Department in the Liaoxi Corridor, shaking the entire Guanwai, after the news reached Shengjing, Dai Shan sent a letter of help to Yanjing without thinking about it.

Zheng Zhilong's army entered the Guanwai, and without even thinking about it, he could know that they would definitely enter Liaodong. As for the soldiers and horses in Dai Shan's hands, he can't resist them.

At this time, don't you hurry up to ask for help, and wait for the Zheng army's soldiers to kill Shengjing and destroy the imperial tomb of Huangtai Jina that is still under construction, and then ask for help?

It's just that no one expected Guan Ningjun to not fight.

Man Dahai only lasted one day in Shanhaiguan, and Wu Sanfu only supported one day in Ningyuan City.

Zheng Jun, who had no scruples, only couldn't raise his head to the Wu army that was bombarded by artillery, and then one catapult after another was sent down from the ship, and one after another flowering bombs and incendiary bombs told Wu Sanfu to flee in the wilderness.

As a result, Wu Sanfu fled, but the family members of Guan Ningjun in Ningyuan City failed to escape, and at least 30,000 old and young people were arrested and taken to Juehua Island and imprisoned in labor camps. It is said that Wu Sanfu returned to the empty city of Ningyuan, and cried bitterly in public when he looked at the ruins of the city with no people.

Then when Azig led his troops north, Zheng Hongkui had already led his troops into the Liao River.

In Prince Rui's mansion, Dolgon has been sleepless all night these days, with dark circles under his eyes and a white face, and his whole person is not like a regent anymore.

He's really uncomfortable right now.

Because he couldn't think of a way to solve the current predicament, the big and small people in the entire Manchu Dynasty were all at a loss.

Zheng Zhilong is a very strong person, he is now swinging two powerful fists at the Manchu Qing, but the same strong Manchu, even the stronger Manchu than Zheng Jun, is pressing Li Zicheng with one hand, and Dolgon can only use one hand to parry the attack of Zheng Jun. How did he parry?

Although he only used two fingers to easily beat Zhu Ming's army of two or three hundred thousand. But Zheng Zhilong is not Zhu Youzhen, and Zheng Jun is not Ming Jun.

Now the Manchu Qing Dynasty is stumbling, and he has been beaten with a blue nose and swollen face.

And if that's all it takes, the problem is that Zheng Zhilong still doesn't give up, and he looks like he wants to take the opportunity to kill the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

The two fists of the people, one towards the head of the Manchu Qing and the other towards the little brother of the Manchu Qing, this is really fatal.

If the punch on the head is not parried, it will be beaten by Zheng Zhilong, not to mention the blood on his face, and they are afraid that it will take a while to recover.

And if the little brother's punch is not parried, it will not kill the Manchu Qing, but it can definitely make the Manchu Qing pain into the bone marrow, so that he will be half paralyzed in a few years.

You must be clear, outside the gate is the real nest of the Tartars, and it is the burial place of their two generations of ancestors, how can they really let Zheng Jun rage and sit idly by?

Not to mention how seriously this damage was to the majesty of the Manchus, even from the perspective of etiquette, it is possible to shake the foundation of the Manchus.

In the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, it was an inevitable choice for the Tartars to better win over the gentry class in the north and share the benefits with them, and then form a broad community of interests.

Therefore, as soon as Dolgon's big hand was clapped, the Tartar began to preach loudly "rule the world with filial piety".

This slogan is not uncommon, and filial piety has been admired in all Chinese dynasties. This is because such a slogan has a strong deceptive nature, and filial piety comes first, and second, such a slogan can make the imperial court better win over the local gentry.

Because as long as you implement filial piety, you can't do without the clan family system, and there is a close and inseparable relationship between the clan family and the gentry.

The development of this clan law is the inevitable product of filial piety.

However, the Manchu Qing Dynasty wantonly linked filial piety with clan power, and shouted: Du clan is in harmony with Zhao Yong. For the first time, it was made public in the form of a national law to stand for the family law.

The Du clan is saying that the clan is pushed by the people, and the Yongmu is not revealed, that is, the filial piety is not exhausted.

In other words, it is to say, "Only when everyone is filial piety, can there be clan harmony." And if you want to have a home and everything is prosperous, you must respect filial piety and respect your elders.

The patriarch and patriarch of that clan are all elders.

On the surface, this is an attempt to reconcile class and social contradictions with blood relations. In fact, it is even more to give power to the local gentry, and the 'clan power family law' has become the 'ethical norm' used by the patriarchs to restrict, manage, and even rule the clansmen.

Wouldn't the Qing court's public legal support greatly increase the rights of the patriarchs and elders of the local clans?

In this way, how could the local gentry clans oppose the rule of the Manchus?

And now that the Tartar flags have been set, they themselves have to sit back and watch Zheng Jun rampage outside the pass, crashing into the imperial tomb of Huang Taiji, and even the imperial tomb of the old slave in Alakhtu, which is too much of a slap in the face.

Whether it was from the point of view of the rituals, or from the dignity and majesty of the Tartars, who had only been in the prison for less than two years, or from the point of view of Dorgon's personal authority, that would not be allowed.

Therefore, Zheng Zhilong's punch to the little brother of the Tartars, Dolgon must block it.

And this involves a serious problem, if you want to block the Zheng army outside the gate, can you only rely on Azig's 20,000 Eight Banners?

Whether or not to continue to transfer troops from Guanzhong is already an imminent choice. Besides, once Azig goes, what will happen to Zheng Zhilong, who has already taken Kaifeng?

Now it seems that the Manchu Qing Dynasty has only one way to withdraw troops from Guanzhong.

It's just that as soon as the Manchu Qing Dynasty wants to withdraw from Guanzhong, the battle line is about to burn to the good situation of Chang'an City, but it will all be gone, and Li Zicheng will also live?

It took so much effort for the Manchu Qing to force Li Zicheng to death, and he was about to kick the door, but he wanted to take his fist. Dolgon's heart was very unwilling. But the biggest problem facing the Manchus now is that he has no choice at all!
