The street fighting in Kaifeng City has entered a white heat.

Although the Ming army of Gaojie was larger in number and stronger, because it could not set up a formation in the narrow alley, it could only fight one-on-one with the green battalion soldiers of the Qing army in most cases.

Because of the heart of death, the green battalion of the Qing army broke out with combat effectiveness far beyond normal conditions, and because they were in the dark, they could cause a lot of trouble to the Ming army.

Over time, the Ming army began to suffer casualties, and there was a gradual tendency to increase.

Gao Jie gradually calmed down after casting Huang Yidao into a bronze statue. It wasn't that he didn't think about accepting the surrender of the Green Battalion, but there were too many of them, and his wife and children were all under the control of the Tartars. Even if they are forced to surrender to the situation, sooner or later they will turn back.

That's why Gao Jie decided to kill the green battalion soldiers in the city, leaving no one behind.

But now it seems that this task will not be easy.

There are too many small alleys in Kaifeng City, and you can hide them for a long time with a casual drill into them.

If you don't search carefully, it will be difficult to find out all the green battalion soldiers hiding in the alley.

In order to quickly screen the green battalion soldiers, it is not enough to rely on the 50,000 people under his command, and the cooperation of the local people must be achieved.

After thinking about it, Gao Jie still decided to order his soldiers to go street to street to announce to the people in the city that if there were any green battalion soldiers hiding at home, report it immediately.

Gao Jie knew the virtues of the soldiers under his command, and he made three chapters of the law with everyone before opening the seal, and those who dared to harass the people were immediately killed.

Therefore, after the city was broken, the military discipline of the Ming army of the Gao Jie Department was still very strict, and although the people were all closed, at least there would not be a situation where they were afraid of soldiers like thieves.

For these green battalion soldiers scattered all over the city, Gao Jie decided to slowly pull them out. The most important thing at the moment is to destroy the remnants of Jin Yu and the main force of the Commander.

This army was tightly surrounded by Jin Yuhe and was not scattered, and now there are about 5,000 people, and they have retreated to the vicinity of Kaifeng Fuxue.

They entered the school palace and leaned against the high wall in a stubborn manner.

Gao Jie naturally would not let this go, and he personally led 20,000 people to surround Fuxue.

The reason why Jin Yuhe retreated to the mansion to defend himself was also a brainstorm.

In his opinion, Fuxue is a place of culture and education, and there is a statue of the saint Confucius, Gao Jie must not dare to come nonsense. Otherwise, he will be charged with insulting Confucius and Confucianism.

But Gao Jie didn't care about this, and after the army surrounded Fuxue, he immediately ordered to pour tung oil into the palace.

Barrels of tung oil were poured into the palace by Ming soldiers through the walls, and the next thing thrown into them was a lighted torch.

Gao Jie's purpose is very clear, he wants to burn the school to the ground!

By the time Jin Yuhe came to his senses, it was too late, and there was only one well in the school, and even if he tried desperately to draw water, he didn't have time to extinguish the raging fire.

In desperation, he could only order the soldiers to rush out of the school desperately, planning to fight with the Ming army outside the palace.

Since both horizontal and vertical are dead, you must pull a cushion back before you die, so that Huangquan Road will not be too lonely.

It's a pity that Gao Jie won't let his wish come true. The gate of Fuxue has been firmly blocked by several boulders, and it cannot be opened at all.

From the very beginning, Gao Jie was not prepared to force his way in.

Jin Yuhe's death was imminent, and he scolded him. He really overestimated Gao Jie's character, this guy had no reverence for Confucius and Confucianism, and dared to openly burn down the school palace!

But he understood too late.

Now that the fire is completely out of control, it is impossible to escape even if you want to climb over the wall.

Watching the raging fire devour the soldiers one by one, Jin Yu and Yangtian laughed loudly and drew their knives to wipe their necks.

Blood spurted out from the wound, and Jin Yuhe fell to his knees with a thud and twitched for a moment before he stopped moving.

......

......

The 5,000 Green Battalion soldiers were all burned to death in the school, along with almost all the wooden buildings in the palace.

When Gao Jie ordered the door of the school to be opened, a stench of burnt corpses came to his nostrils, which was disgusting.

Gao Jie ordered the soldiers to conduct another round of searches to ensure that no fish slipped through the net.

After dealing with these 5,000 people, the situation in Kaifeng City was basically under control.

The remaining green battalion soldiers of the Qing army were scattered in the city, and they were easily killed one by one under their own battles.

Gao Jie understands the concerns of the people in the city. After all, the Tartars were very strong in combat, and the Ming army had few victories against the Upper Eight Banners Army. Even now that the Ming army has defeated the Green Camp Army and taken Kaifeng, the people are worried that it will be difficult for the Ming army to gain a foothold.

In the unlikely event that the Tartar army returned from Shanxi and captured Kaifeng, it would inevitably lead to a massacre of the people who had helped the Ming army.

So at this time, Gao Jie must express his position with a clear attitude, that is, he is inseparable from the Tartars and fights to the end.

Only in this way did the people dare to cooperate with the Ming army to find out all the green battalion soldiers hiding in the city.

Gao Jie felt that his attitude had almost been expressed.

First, he cast the Kaifeng prefect appointed by the Tartars into bronze figures, and second, he burned 5,000 green battalion soldiers alive in the Fuxue.

The Ming army does not accept any form of surrender!

This was the case when it was Kaifeng, and it will be the same when it will be fought in Luoyang, Huaiqing, and Weihui in the future.

Of course, Gao Jie was not in a hurry to repair the gap in the city wall that had been blown up. Because he will continue to advance north, Kaifeng will not leave many troops.

In the first day or two, the people were still cautious about the Ming army. But gradually, some people took the initiative to report the Qing army's green battalion soldiers who were hiding to the Ming army.

Gao Jie ordered all of the green battalion soldiers who were pulled out to be beheaded, their heads hung at the head of the city for public display, and their bodies were thrown into mass graves outside the city for burial.

The Battle of Kaifeng was just the beginning. But with this successful experience, Gao Jie has more confidence in capturing Luoyang and other places.

At present, the Qing army stationed in the entire Henan is left with the green battalion of Weihui Mansion under the command of Zu Kefa, and it is only a matter of time before Henan is pacified.

Gao Jie immediately ordered someone to write a good news and send it to Nanjing as soon as possible.

In any case, the restoration of Kaifeng is a great joy, and His Majesty should be made aware of it earlier.

......

......

After Liu Liangzuo and Liu Zeqing fled overnight, they gathered the rout all the way and rushed towards Linqing.

After gathering the defeated army, their strength was about 30,000, which was much lower than when they first entered Shandong.

What is even more frightening is that the morale of the army has plummeted. Originally, everyone thought that Shandong was a piece of fat that could be torn at will, but who would have thought that he would break his head and bleed as soon as he arrived in Jining Prefecture.

"Damn, if you want me to say that the defenders of Jining Prefecture have at least tens of thousands of people, otherwise how could there be such a big battle when the camp was attacked at night."

Liu Liangzuo held the reins with one hand, looking unconvinced.

"What's the use of talking about this now, brother, you still have to think about what to do next."

The fire of the Shence Army burned the hearts of the soldiers, and it would be difficult to do it if they couldn't bring it up.
