Chapter 1045: Death Is Certain!
"Xu Changqing, you, you don't want to spew blood, your master and I ......"
Ao Bai reacted after a while, and was about to argue with his thick neck, but was directly interrupted by Xu Changqing impatiently: "Okay, take it down!" ”
He is in a lot of trouble now, how can he have time to talk nonsense with Ao Bai here?
"Yes!"
Ao Bai was about to struggle, but he was directly covered by his own soldiers, kicked and kicked, and dragged down like a dead dog.
"Hmm, hmm......"
The big eyes like bronze bells of Ao Bai stared to the limit, but the kind of recklessness and refusal to admit defeat in it had already turned into an inexplicable horror.
Xu Changqing, this guy, doesn't play cards according to the rules at all.
He, how dare he not give him a courtesy?
But looking at the tall and strong bright red figures around him, Aobai's strong neck suddenly felt a little chilly.
Could it be that he worshipped, and it was not a dish......
……
After the episode of Aobai, the commanders of various departments also rushed to the headquarters of the Central Army in Guangqumen one after another, and Xu Changqing didn't have time to eat a bite of rice, so he directly held a military meeting.
By this time, the model army had basically controlled more than ninety percent of the initiative in Jingshi City, but it was still one chance away from breaking the city.
At this time, although the detailed results of the various ministries last night have not yet come out, they have roughly been framed.
In last night's battle, it is not surprising that there were at least 30,000 casualties in various units of the Qing army, or even more than 40,000.
Moreover, Xu Changqing is a 'killing array' layout, and these casualties of the Qing army are far from casualties in the traditional sense, but outright 'death'!
Other words.
From last night to this time alone, the elite vitality of the Qing army has consumed more than 30,000 or even 40,000!
True Manchuria has been known as how many soldiers there are over the years, and the cowhide has to blow through the sky, but Xu Changqing knows in his heart that the real elite of True Manchuria is only about 100,000 at most.
Even if you add those who are retired, injured, old men, and half-sized children who have not grown their hair, it is difficult for the number of people to break through the '200,000' mark.
There are also many early Han Chinese minions who were naturalized.
Here and now, in this situation, it is no exaggeration for the model army to say that it has cut off the arm of the Great Qing Kingdom!
But although it occupies the absolute initiative, the Qing army still has the strength to fight, and it is not impossible for the model army to forcibly break the city, but Xu Changqing has to consider such unnecessary casualties.
In addition, there is the problem of the people in the city.
To be honest, the matter has come to this point, Xu Changqing also wants to have a perfect ending, and get the most desired result at the least cost.
But if this point really can't be achieved, then what are these people compared to the general trend?
Xu Changqing was ready to do both at this time.
The first-hand preparation is to take the results of last night's battle as the big framework, continue to besiege and coerce the capital city, and all kinds of propaganda offensives are launched at the same time, hooking Dolgon and them to break through.
The second hand is to take the initiative to forcibly conquer the city.
This is also the core reason why Xu Changqing took Guangqumen as the first breakthrough.
After the Qing army entered the customs, it cleared the city of Beijing. Wash and separate. Leave.
True Manchuria naturally wants to occupy the fattest and beautiful place, and in a few months, the inner city of Jingshi will basically be occupied by them, and ordinary people can only live in the outer city.
If Xu Changqing had directly attacked the cores of Chaoyangmen, Fuchengmen, Dongzhimen, etc., which directly threatened the inner city of Jingshi, the battle situation would probably not be what it is now.
Therefore, there is also a certain feasibility of a strong attack.
After all, the model army is supported by a strong hot air balloon force, and as long as it can quickly obtain a few fulcrums in the city, it is not difficult to block the core passages of the inner and outer cities, such as Chongwen Gate, Xuanwu Gate, and Zhengyang Gate.
After the military meeting was held decisively, the heads of the various departments went back to implement it vigorously, and saw dozens of hot air balloons used in propaganda rise into the sky, and soon swept past the head of Guangqu Gate and entered the city, Xu Changqing was a little relieved and enjoyed his breakfast.
Now, everything is in place, it depends on this 'east wind', whether the Qing army sent it to the door, or the model army took the initiative to obtain it!
……
At this time, the city of Jingshi has been completely curfew, and the core roads of the inner and outer cities, the city gates of Zhengyang Gate, Chongwen Gate, and Xuanwu Gate are even more closed, and they are strictly guarded.
The outer city has been curfew since the arrival of the model army, and it reached its peak before the start of the battle yesterday, and the crowd in the inner city has a different identity after all, and it is much more relaxed.
Even if last night when the two armies started fighting, Dashilar waited for red. Lamp. The district is still brightly lit, and it is still singing and dancing, and it is officially open.
But since last night, the scale has changed overnight.
……
"Lu Tou, what's going on? There's no one in the city. This, this is not a fake Jingshi City, right? ”
An elf-like light hot air balloon quickly swept to the area of Chongwenmen Avenue along the comfortable little north wind in the morning, but the pitcher in charge of dropping leaflets was dumbfounded.
Looking at the past, on the wide, flat and transparent bluestone street, there is not even a single hair, even if he is a well-known pitcher in the model army, he has always been known for his accuracy, but at this time he has no clue at all.
There's no goal.
Without a target, who are these leaflets to see?
Lu Tou, who was driving the hot air balloon, was also a little confused, looking left and right, but he didn't even have any fireworks, and he had no clue for a while.
Including in many courtyards, there are no people at all, as if everyone has disappeared from here inexplicably.
"Lu Tou, no, it won't be that the dog Tartar lost his conscience, he carried out a massacre last night, and he gave people to kill them all, right?"
The precision shooter next to him had a big brain, and suddenly made a shocking sound.
"This ......"
Lu Tou and the pitcher panicked.
If that's the case, then it's not fun.
Even though this is not the fault of the model army, this account will most likely be credited to the head of the model army.
Sweat soon began to appear on Lu's forehead.
The actual general officer of the hot air balloon unit, his treatment is equivalent to the deputy thousand general level in the infantry army, and Lu Tou is the earliest batch of hot air balloon soldiers in the model army, who has followed Xu Changqing to fight in the south and the north for many years, and has been trained in military academies, both in terms of knowledge and eyesight, he is much better than ordinary people.
Almost instantly, he thought of the terrible consequences.
Rao is handsome family is not afraid of this, but if he can have a choice, who wants to be involved in such a bloody thing?
Their model army is not a ragtag army like Zuo Liangyu, Qin Army, and Northwest Army, and the eyes of the whole world are staring at it.
"Oh, that's not right! That's not right! ”
In a panic, Lu Tou suddenly became clever, and his spirit suddenly lifted up.
"Head, what's wrong?"
The pitcher and precision shooter was busy looking at him.
Lu Tou suddenly smiled: "Dongzi, don't fucking be foolish, scare yourself." If the dog Tartars had been slaughtered last night, how could this city be so clean? I'm afraid, nine times out of ten, the common people are hiding! ”
"This ......"
The pitcher and accurate shooter Toko looked at each other and came back to their senses.
As Lu Tou said, if there was really a massacre, I am afraid that the city would have been chaotic and in flames, but now it is obviously not like that.
Dongzi swallowed a little hard and said, "Lu Tou, what should we do?" Why don't you go for a stroll around the inner city? ”
"This!"
Lu's brow furrowed.
If he could go to the inner city, he would naturally have to take a good look, don't look at the fact that they brought a lot of leaflets today, but the firearms were not pulled down, there were ten incendiary bombs alone, not to mention more than a dozen flowering bombs.
This kind of firepower, if it encounters a tartar, is enough for them to drink a good pot.
But Shangfeng's order did not allow them to go to the inner city, how could Lu Tou dare to easily disobey the order?
It must be known that the military discipline of the model army is not fun, who dares
commits a taboo, or even commits a crime against the wind, even if you don't die, you have to peel off your skin.
Lu Tou thought for a moment, and quickly found a way: "Don't panic, panic." Today this is not the first great achievement, let's not be in a hurry, let's talk to the brother troops about the situation first. ”
The pitcher and Dongzi gave Lu Tou a thumbs up again and again, no wonder it was rumored that Lu Tou was about to be raptured to a thousand households, this consciousness is high.
……
After a short time, Lu Tou and the others met with several hot air balloons, exchanged ideas, and came to a similar conclusion.
A few hot air balloons briefly deliberated and made a crazy decision!
They're going to land, go down and see what's going on.
Just as they were looking for the right place.
In the inner city, the palace of the Regent of Wangfu Street, Dolgon soon got the news that the model army hot air balloon was cruising in the outer city.
Again and again it was confirmed that the model army's hot air balloon had not broken through the inner city defenses, and Dolgon was slightly relieved.
"Regent, Xu Changqing, this is ...... It's going to drive the sheep......"
On the side, Hong Chengchou, who had not slept all night, said cautiously.
At this time, he was directly recruited by Dolgon as a 'servant', and his wife and children couldn't clean it up, but Dolgon was not kind to him, and directly rewarded him with ten Peugeot palace maids.
Dorgon had not slept all night last night, his eyes were red, and his expression was gloomy, like a demon.
"Hong Qing, at this time, you and I don't need to hide it, what can you do?"
Dolgon's voice was hoarse, staring straight into Hong Chengchou's eyes.
As the saying goes, 'only when you lose will you know how to cherish'.
After this heaven-hellish experience, Dolgon also understood that it was right to count on the Manchu and Mongolian royal families to fight, but this governance, including strategy and tactics, also counted on these Manchu and Mongolian royal families who did not know a few big words, that is, they were stupid and wanted to die.
Therefore, Hong Chengchou is now the focus of Dolgon, Fan Wencheng, Ning Wan and others can't do it, and they are directly abandoned by Dolgon.
Hong Chengchou looked at Dolgon's solemn appearance, angry and funny.
If this regent had really valued him and given him real power at this time earlier, why did the Great Qing Kingdom end here?
Even though Jiangnan cannot be pacified, there is no big problem in dividing and ruling the north and the south.
It's a pity.
One wrong step, one wrong step.
In the face of Xu Changqing, a cunning and calm hero, the Qing Kingdom is already about to be played to death......
After thinking for a moment, Hong Chengchou hurriedly and respectfully and cautiously tested: "Lord Wang, this, it depends on you, whether you want to break through or defend ......"
Dolgon keenly noticed the change in Hong Chengchou's address to him, pursed his lips, looked at Hong Chengchou and said, "Hong Qing, how about breaking through?" What about stubbornness? ”
"Whew."
Hong Chengchou couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and wanted to say it directly, but he couldn't stop being entangled.
Dolgon frowned and said, "Hong Qing, at this time, between you and me, what else can't be said?" If you have any concerns, it doesn't hurt to say it! ”
Hong Chengchou smiled bitterly and saluted Dolgon deeply: "Lord, at this time, you treat me with sincerity!" Then, the minister will also sacrifice his life to accompany the gentleman! In the opinion of the ministers, combined with Xu Changqing's temperament and strategy, if I want to defend the capital city in the Qing Dynasty, I am afraid that I will definitely die......"
"Sure to die?"
"Surely we will die!"
Dolgon was in a trance and read these words like a lightning strike, and his already ghostly face became even more hideous, completely out of shape, staring at Hong Chengchou!
These words seem simple, but the damage that can be done to Dolgon is nothing less than a thunderbolt, and it is simply devastating.
"Plop!"
Hong Chengchou was busy kneeling on the ground and kowtowing desperately: "Lord Wang, the matter has come to this, I am clear, and the general trend has gone...... If you still can't recognize the reality and don't quickly preserve your living power, I'm going to die......"
