Chapter 541: Clean up the old mountains and rivers
There were more and more Ming cavalry entering Baoding City, and Duoduo's face was as white as paper.
Although he didn't want to admit it, the truth was that the city could not be defended.
Seeing Duoduo's appearance, Da Yu'er forced her composure and said, "Shouldn't the regent order the soldiers to prepare for street fighting at this moment?" ”
Instinctively, Dodor wanted to scoff and retort, but after thinking about what the woman had said, there was some truth in it, so he nodded.
The Manchurian warriors deserved to hold out until the last moment.
The bannermen in Baoding City are full of Eight Banners and Eight Banners, and their combat effectiveness is very fierce.
Naturally, they are not willing to be caught and killed.
Under the orders of Dord, they frantically assembled and counterattacked.
In street battles, it was difficult for the cavalry to exert its might, so all the Qing soldiers turned over and dismounted and engaged in foot combat.
The Ming soldiers also dismounted.
But they have better discipline, better armor, better formations, and even better weapons.
They had flintlock pistols in their hands.
The flintlock pistols of the Ming army did not panic in the face of the Qing soldiers who rushed to kill, they pulled the trigger as they usually trained, and then the charging Qing soldiers fell down one by one.
The vast majority of Qing soldiers had never seen a flintlock pistol and naturally did not understand its power.
It wasn't until they saw their companions fall down one by one that their eyes were full of horror.
This thing is horrible.
Seeing this, Duoduo ordered the musketeers in the Qing army to return fire.
It's just that the guns equipped by the Qing army are all arquebuses, which are much more cumbersome to use than flintlock pistols.
But it was still powerful after all, and gradually the Ming soldiers also suffered casualties.
The Ming soldiers did not have any fear and calmly shot.
The two sides engaged in frantic firing at each other, and from time to time someone fell.
When the battle situation was scorching, the wind suddenly blew fiercely, and lightning flashed and thundered.
Duoduo looked up at the sky and felt something was wrong.
If it does rain, the musketeers will not be able to play.
But he was relieved at the thought that the Ming army would not be able to shoot either.
Sure enough, it rained heavily.
Heavy rain poured from the sky, and the arquebus was completely unusable, and the Qing soldiers put away their guns and prepared to fight for knives.
But the Ming soldiers were very confident in holding flintlock pistols.
"Bang bang bang!"
In the face of the charging Qing soldiers, they pulled the trigger in their hands.
One by one, the Qing soldiers fell.
Their eyes were full of consternation, full of disbelief.
They really didn't understand why the Ming army's arquebuses could still shoot in such bad weather conditions. Before they died, some people finally understood that the Ming army was not an arquebus.
Dodor was equally stunned.
First the artillery that can directly blast open the city gate, and then the musket that can be used in heavy rain, how many hidden firearms are there in the Ming army that are not used?
He now finally understands why the Qing army has suffered one crushing defeat after another in recent years.
But it's too late to understand.
The flintlock musketeers of the Ming army kept shooting, and the power of the queue to shoot was extremely huge, and the Qing soldiers fell one by one.
Gao Jie smiled. His sons are really good, and killing Tartars is like killing chickens and dogs.
He had waited so long for this day that he was so excited when it really came.
"Bang bang bang!"
The sound of flintlock firing was so crisp, but it was a little weird with the wailing of the Qing soldiers.
Duoduo bit his lip tightly. He couldn't do anything now but watch the soldiers die.
It's really damned, why didn't Wu Sangui, Kong Youde, and Geng Zhongming, who were defending the flank cities, come to the rescue?
They really can't hold on to Duoduo if they don't come again.
Every time the Ming army pushed forward, the Qing army had to take a step back.
But the space is only so big, and there is always a time when it will come to an end.
Duoduo said that he couldn't go on like this, so he rushed to Da Yu'er and Shunzhi and said, "Let's change our clothes and see if we can escape." ”
Da Yu'er was stunned: "Change clothes?" ”
"Change into the clothes of ordinary soldiers."
Duoduo took a deep breath.
Da Yu'er hesitated.
She certainly understood what that meant.
Baoding City can't hold it.
If you continue to stay, you will definitely wait for death.
But she is the queen mother of the Qing Dynasty, and her son is the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, isn't it chilling to flee like this?
"If you don't leave, it's too late."
Dodor urged again.
Dodor didn't have any mental barriers, and in his opinion, surviving was the most important thing.
Da Yu'er finally agreed.
It's all for her son's sake.
At the same time, the three of them changed into the clothes of ordinary soldiers, and prepared to take advantage of the chaos to go out of the city.
Now the city of Baoding is in chaos, full of Ming and Qing soldiers who are fighting for their lives, Duoduo they trotted along the base of the wall, and they were about to run to the city gate.
Suddenly, a lead bullet shot into Dodor's heart.
The power of the flintlock pistol was not something that ordinary soldiers' armor could resist, and Duoduo's body fell to the ground with a limp.
He rolled on the ground in pain and wailed, and it didn't take long for him to die.
Da Yu'er and Shunzhi were no better, and a sky-shattering thunder flew from nowhere and directly killed them.
Of course, no one paid attention to them, because their clothes were so ordinary.
The Ming soldiers continued to kill the Tartars, washing away the humiliation of the past with blood.
The Qing army lost the commander of the first army, and the morale of the army was already in chaos, like a plate of scattered sand.
They're just instinctively fighting the trapped beasts.
It's just that the Ming army has an extremely strong ability to clean up the mess, and no matter where the Qing soldiers hide, they can always be found and killed.
The street fighting ended after half a day.
The Ming army replanted the banner of the Ming Dynasty on the head of Baoding City.
The atmosphere in Baoding City, which had been washed by blood, was a bit solemn, and Gao Jie ordered the heads of all Qing soldiers to be cut off, and the corpses were transported to dig pits outside the city and burned. He also ordered people to splash cold water on the streets to wash away the blood.
After a busy time, there was no trace of the aftermath of the battle, except for the hills of heads in the city.
According to the information obtained by Gao Jie, Duoduo should be in the city, and it is said that the empress dowager and emperor of the Qing court also supervised the war in the city.
But Gao Jie didn't notice them.
Until he stumbled upon several corpses.
One of them was visibly very young, and the other was a woman. Gao Jie had already guessed their identities.
Next to these two corpses was the body of an adult man, who was supposed to be Dord.
After some Qing prisoners were identified, Gao Jie even determined the identities of the three.
His Majesty the Emperor, who counted the days carefully, should have arrived in Baoding soon, right? He was ready to tell the good news to the Son of Heaven with his own mouth.
......
......
At the same time, Wen Anzhi and Du Yinxi led the Ming army to defeat Wu Sangui, Kong Youde, and Geng Zhongming successively, and all three were killed in battle, and the Qing army was wiped out, and the whole government of Baoding was recovered.
The Ming army won a complete victory in the most critical battle of the Northern Expedition, and the Qing army had completely lost the possibility of resisting and counterattacking.
