Beijing

In the afternoon, amid the deafening sound of shelling, a gap was finally blown up in the southeastern corner of the towering and solid city of Beijing, which was very large, more than 20 meters long.

Suddenly, the soldiers of the Blue Dragon Legion and the Vermilion Bird Legion shouted excitedly.

The city was blown up, which meant that the city of Beijing could not stand it, and the opening of more than 20 meters long was under the attack of artillery, and the Qing army could not repair it at all, so the soldiers could drive straight into the city. Soon the whole of Beijing became in the bag.

When the city of Beijing was breached, Wang Shishi, Zhang Liang and Li Wen immediately went to the front line, with a long-lost smile on their faces. That's great news.

"Someone, hurry up and report eight hundred miles to tell the prince this good news." Wang Shishi's often tense face at that time also showed a rare smile. This made the guards next to him call it one after another.

Zhang Liang even joked: "Look, our General Wang is smiling, let's take a look." If you miss it, you won't have a chance to see it in the future. Hahahaha. ”

Suddenly, there was laughter all around.

"General, hurry up and give the order, let the soldiers rush forward under the cover of artillery. This is the time when the enemy's morale is at its lowest, and if we rush over, it will be easy to occupy the capital. "Li Wen is different from them, as a military advisor, he must seize the opportunity of the war, and he must not waste the great opportunity.

When Wang Shishi heard this, he came back to his senses and said, "General Zhang, you send the most elite leopard cavalry brigade up, and this commander will send two more brigades of soldiers and horses to follow. The rest of the soldiers and horses guarded the city of Beijing, and Dolgon must not be allowed to escape. ”

It seemed to them that everything was going for the better.

But suddenly, a shout gradually came, and even the roaring shelling was suppressed. The miserable life and angry screams came and went.

"What happened?" Wang Shishi frowned and asked.

Zhang Liang said with a puzzled face: "Could it be that the people in the city were scared by us, and they all cried." Waiting for surrender? ”

Li Wen shook his head and said, "No, this kind of voice is clearly a miserable cry made by being oppressed and killed, it should be a tartar-" Thinking of this, Li Wen's pupils were dilated, and he thought of a possibility. If this is the case, even if they break through the walls of Beijing today, it will be meaningless.

"What's wrong with you, Strategist?" Zhang Liang saw Li Wen's question and hurriedly asked him.

Li Wen shook his head, he was not sure of his thoughts, so he didn't dare to say it, otherwise if he disturbed the morale of the army, he couldn't afford it.

The three of them grabbed their binoculars and looked into the city.

Soon, they saw thousands of Han Chinese people who were being driven by the fierce Tartars with long whips. Although the back of their heads was also pigtailed with pigtails, the three of them could still tell that they were Han Chinese.

"What do they want to do?" Wang Shishi asked Li Wen.

At this moment, Li Wen had basically affirmed his thoughts, but he saw his gloomy face and said, "I'm afraid that the Tartars are going to use the Han people to block the broken city wall." Those are all Han Chinese, once we launch an attack on them, our prince will inevitably bear a brutal and unkind hat, which is extremely detrimental to the development of our Pingbei Army. The general hurried to let the artillery stop the bombardment. Everything is discussed in the long run. "Li Wen didn't expect Dolgon to be so frustrated, and he would use the people's bodies as a shield." Hmph, damn Dolgon. is so hateful, if Lao Tzu catches him, he will definitely cut off his head. No, let him split the body. Ling Chi was executed! "Wang Shishi is jealous and hateful, and he is very dissatisfied with the things that force the weak.

Although these people surrendered to the Qing army, and even their hair was cut to the shape of a man, they were still Han, and they could be said to be forced to be helpless, but Liu Xia couldn't ignore them. In this way, not only will they lose the Han people who are struggling under the rule of the Qing army, but they will also be scolded by Wu Sangui in the south who made a big fuss and scolded Liu Xia.

Sure enough, those people were arrogant and pressed thousands of Han Chinese to the edge of the broken wall. Among them are many elderly people and children. They were suffering under the whip of the tartars, and they wailed miserably. They looked at the Han army on the opposite side and tried to escape, but they were shot by the Tartar archers who were waiting for them with an arrow, and except for a few Han people who fled, the remaining Han people were too afraid to flee.

The Leopard Cavalry Brigade, which was about to attack, stopped its advance halfway through, and finally slowly retreated. Hundreds of artillery pieces also stopped bombing. Only the miserable cries of the Han people were left on the battlefield.

The soldiers were also indignant and talked about it.

"Shameless Tartar"

"These are traitors who surrendered to the Tartars, what's the use of keeping them? It's better to kill them all now. ”

"It can't be said that after all, they are all powerless people, and in the face of the persecution of the Tartars, they are also compromised. No wonder they are. ”

"What's no wonder they are, these people have no backbone at all. If it weren't for them, how could we Han people have so many traitors and lackeys. If we don't kill them, it will simply tarnish the blood of our Han people. ”

"It can't be generalized, some of them are indeed stinky rats, dead traitors. But there are some people who are not with the Tartars, they have also resisted, but for the sake of their families, they have to temporarily surrender to the Tartars. ”

“……”

For a while, there were also two sides of the main battle faction and the armistice faction among the soldiers, and the people from the main battle faction said that those Han people were traitors and lackeys and it was nothing to kill them directly, and now victory was ahead, and a few traitor lackeys could not be stopped.

The people of the armistice faction said that most of these people were old, weak, sick, disabled, orphans, widows, old people, and children, and most of them were forced to temporarily succumb to the obscenity of the Tartars, and they were not considered traitors. They are not of the same mind as the Tartars. So they can't all be killed as traitors. This is a kind of cruelty to those Han Chinese who rebelled against the Tartars in the midst of the Tartars. What's more, these children and old people, their fathers and sons, may have died against the Tartars.

Li Wen couldn't decide whether to let the soldiers continue to attack now, and if he made a mistake in giving the order, the result might directly kill him.

"Someone, immediately spread the news to Luoyang and inform the general and all the military divisions, remember not to delay for a moment!"

Li Wen said, and Wang Shishi next to him said: "By the way, military advisor, don't we still have a bunch of tartars?" ”

The Tartars mentioned by Wang Shishi are the Manchurians who have been counted out of the people around Beijing after they came here, and there are more than 300 people. These people were not killed at that time. Instead, they were imprisoned.

"Tartar? Not now, the Tartars will not exchange hostages with us. They would rather kill the three hundred Tartars than remove the people. Now the thousands of people are Dorgon's life charms. Once the people are gone. We don't care about it. According to the news of the dragon group, Dolgon's reinforcements will arrive soon, that is, in the past two days, once his reinforcements come, these people will lose their meaning, and Dolgon is no longer afraid of our attack, maybe he will attack us-"

Speaking of this, Li Wen suddenly thought that if Dolgon didn't need the people to be his shield, the fate of these people would definitely be very miserable, and maybe they would be killed directly. However, Li Wen could only sigh. He can't do much.

"Hopefully Dolgon will have some mercy then."

"Strategist, if Dolgon's reinforcements arrive. After Dorgon removed the people, wouldn't we have no worries? Wang Shishi thought for a while. He has a simple brain, and he can't penetrate the whole thing at all, and what he thinks is good in front of him is good. Doesn't think too far ahead.

"This-this-this" Li Wen said dryly, in fact, his heart was dripping blood, indeed, the matter was indeed solved, but those people were also facing the dilemma of being killed. But there is no way they can rescue them now.

Li Wen prides himself on being ruthless, but he is still a little unhappy when he sees thousands of his compatriots about to be slaughtered in front of him.
