Chapter 171

Therefore, they were bombarded by the heavy artillery wheels pulled up by the rogue army, and they also planned to send archers to set up rockets and shoot arrowheads, but they were persuaded by the surrendered generals, "Your Majesty, no!" This is the Imperial City of Gyeonggi! How can the place where His Majesty will stay in the future be burned so easily? ”

The anxious Dashun generals pit him and said, "Your Majesty, don't listen to their opinions, they are the generals of the Ming court, and they will naturally speak for the court, or let them try?" ”

At this time, Emperor Dashun looked at the surrendered generals and began to ask, "Do you Aiqing have any good strategies to break the enemy?" ”

All the generals bowed their heads and were silent! Suddenly, a few generals on the city tower looked down the city, as if they were in a hurry to come out? From time to time, you still wave to the rogue soldiers under the city?

This panicked the besieging rogue army! Even the generals thought it was a little strange? Take a closer look at their costumes, it should belong to the army of the pro-army Jingwei Command Envoy (Da Ming Zi Shangzhi 26 Wei), and look at the Ming army on the remaining battlements but still resist stubbornly, although they are also a little physically exhausted? (The pandemic has hit!) But he still insisted on pulling the trigger and shooting.

Soon the generals who surrendered found a breakthrough point? They suggested to Emperor Dashun: "Your Majesty, do we think that the commander of the Jingwei in the city should be the commander of the city, and the internal and external should be combined with our army, so as to quickly break through the Chengtian Gate?" ”

But this idea was unanimously opposed and disapproved by everyone! After all, it's so easy to let them fight in the nest!

However, Prime Minister Dashun saw the clue? He said, "Maybe they mean that His Majesty promised to surrender to the city of the Jingwei Command Envoys in the past, so that they can surrender faster?" ”

If you think about it carefully, Emperor Dashun thinks it's okay to try! Under the protection of the Shun army's shield soldiers, he walked to the front of the battle and asked the soldiers of the Shun army besieging the city to stop, and shouted to the city, "Listen to the Ming army, it is completely the destiny of heaven that I can stand here today, don't be stubborn and die to the court!" Surrender Dashun earlier, and I promise that you will surrender today and become rich tomorrow. ”

The generals of the several Jingwei Command Envoys, who were already ready to move, listened to Li Thief's words, and felt that they had to surrender as soon as possible and had a way to survive (in fact, they just wanted to run out and stay away from the epidemic!). So some of the generals of the Jingwei Command Envoy Division began to rebel on the castle tower!

Commanded by Ming Ji Yangwei: Qian Sun, Ming Army Rear Guard Commander: Zhao Yisong, Ming Jinwu Right Guard Commander: Guang Ziqin, and other generals first took the lead in waving their knives and slashed at the necks of the rest of the Jingwei Command Envoy Commanders, and the soldiers under them also fought with each other, and turned their guns at their own people, only some of the defenders continued to load and open artillery to bomb the Shun soldiers who climbed the ladder.

The Liukou soldiers under the city took the opportunity to strengthen the onslaught, and successively sent the generals of Dashun Linqu Nan, Dashun Gun Battalion General, Dashun Right Battalion General and other generals to lead the troops to rush and kill, breaking through the last firepower of the Ming army and going up to the city tower in one go.

Soon there was a lot of gunpowder smoke on the city tower, accompanied by the shells blown up by the artillerymen of the Shun army under the city, and the double blow of the besieging Shun army and the mutinous Ming army, the resisting pro-army Jingwei command envoys fell one after another in a pool of blood on the battlements.

Looking at the corpses on the battlements, they had already piled up, and the commander of the Ming Xuanwu Guard: Guo Zhongxin, shouted at the mutinous Ming army, "You and others openly rebelled against our Ming Empire, where did you put His Majesty the Son of Heaven?" ”

After speaking, he swung his knife and slashed at the mutinous Ming soldiers, but unexpectedly he was stabbed three times from behind by the rogue soldiers! was also cut off by the traitorous general, causing the Ming Xuan Wuwei commander to slowly kneel on the ground and vomit blood to death!

Then the Liukou army began to occupy the Chengtian Gate, and replaced the Qinglong Flag of the Son of Heaven of the Ming Empire on the top of the city tower with the Black Tiger Shunzi Flag, fluttering in the wind, Emperor Dashun glanced at the flag on the city tower, and had a whim in his heart, he said to the Dashun generals on the left and right: "If I can become the lord of the world and dominate the country, then an arrow will hit the center of the word "Heaven". ”

So he picked up the arrow on the bow and arrow stand and aimed it at the city gate sign of Chengtianmen, and glanced at it! Quickly let go of the arrow (whoosh), and the arrow shot at the city gate sign.

But this arrow was very embarrassing, and it only shot under the word Tianzi, which made Emperor Dashun very annoyed and broke the bow and arrow on the spot.

Seeing this scene, the prime minister of Dashun on the side immediately stepped forward and explained: "Your Majesty, stop being angry! This arrow is shot under the word of heaven, which is a sign of winning the world! ”

After hearing what his prime minister said, Emperor Dashun hurriedly laughed and ordered the Shun army troops to march into the city, and Emperor Dashun also rode into Chengtianmen in a dashing manner.

And on the side of Bei'anmen, the north and south towns, the Fu Division, the Jinyi Guard, and the soldiers and horses of the Five Cities are almost unbearable! After several rounds of artillery bombardment, there were commanders of the Ming Dongcheng Soldiers and Horses: Lu Qiubo, and Ming Nancheng Soldiers and Horses Commanders: Yang Sizhao, two Ming generals led the troops out of the city to surrender to the Liukou, resulting in the emptiness of the small doors on both sides!

Dashun Ruhou, who was in charge of the siege, took the opportunity to lead his army into the city gate, causing Bei'an Gate to also be lost! The Ming army had no choice but to engage in street battles with the rogue army!

In normal times, due to their frequent training and sorties, the Jinyi guards of the Fusi of the North and South Towns are still well preserved, and they can resist the Liukou soldiers for a while, but the remaining soldiers and horses of Xicheng, Beicheng, and Zhongcheng are not good, because they are only responsible for the security of Gyeonggi and have not undergone any training, so they will be defeated in an instant as soon as they contact the enemy!

Among them, after the admiral of Ming Jiumen held a three-eyed gun and shot a round, he vaguely heard the eunuchs behind him shouting: "Fathers-in-law, killing the enemy and serving the country, it is today, all rush with me!" ”

Although the overall look of a group of eunuchs with sticks is very girly! However, he still rushed in front of the rogue soldiers in the fierce battle, brandishing clubs and beating them.

Enraged, the rogue soldiers turned around and raised their swords to slash the eunuchs, and some swung their spears to stab the eunuchs with sticks, and the admiral of the Ming Jiumen, who saw the enemy killed on the top of the city tower, shouted loudly, "Xiao Chunzi, Xiao Liangzi...!" You're all good, don't worry, we're going to avenge you. ”

I saw him throw out the saber in his hand and fly over and stab a rogue soldier with a spear, and run down the steps to prepare to fight, those rogue soldiers who slashed and killed the eunuchs.

At this time, one of the three generals came over and said, "Lord Admiral, there are too many rogues in the city!" Do you want to cover His Majesty's evacuation? It's too dangerous in this palace now! The rogues may break through the Imperial City and enter the Forbidden City at any time! ”

However, the Admiral of Ming Jiumen said: "This governor also wants to cover His Majesty's retreat!" But you also know that Your Majesty loves face! Evacuation is tantamount to losing the ancestral system and losing face! Instead of escorting His Majesty to retreat, it is better to find a way to hold off the Liukou and try to save time for King Qin's army. ”

In this way, the generals continued to fight into the rogue formation, and the fierce battle continued until ...... o'clock in the evening.

Most of the Ming troops were forced to retreat into the imperial city to guard the important streets, and the rogue army also followed, and began to sweep the Ming army in the streets.

With a nervous mood, the commander of the Nine Gates of the Ming Jing Division, looking at the exhausted soldiers who had fought for a day during the night patrol, he shed affectionate tears, and couldn't help but say, "My Ming Empire has come to this day, I'm afraid it is the end of the road!" It is rare that all the soldiers are still willing to be loyal to the country, thank you for using your flesh and blood to block the attack of the rogue army, here I invite you to accept my Wang's worship! ”

The moved Ming soldiers who defended the city hurriedly stepped forward to help the Admiral of the Nine Gates of the Ming Jing Division, and comforted, "Don't worry, Lord Admiral, as long as I have a breath of air, I will never let any of the rogues enter the Forbidden City!" ”

Seeing the soldiers looking at death as home, the commander of the Nine Gates of the Ming Jing Division was very moved, and sad tears fell again from the corners of his eyes.

At this time, a row of Jinyi guards came over, and the leading Ming Jinyi Guard, the Zuo Du Governor, said to the Ming Jing Division Jiumen Admiral, "Wang Gonggong, this Governor has taken a look at the defense of our army, and it is very bad!" There are less than 100 soldiers guarding the street fortresses! Most of them are soldiers infected with the epidemic, and I'm afraid we won't be able to hold out for two days if we continue like this! Do you have to consider covering His Majesty's detour from Xuanwu Gate to Coal Mountain out of the Imperial City? ”

For this idea, the Admiral of the Nine Gates of the Ming Jing Division had indeed thought about it, but His Majesty the Emperor had always been stubborn, and I am afraid that he would not follow their arrangement, let alone retreat easily.

At this moment, a man wearing a hat and helmet ran from the top of the tower, shouting loudly, "Something is wrong! Everyone looked over by the light of the torches and found that it was Gong Kongfu, the general banner of the Jinyi Guard of Fusi in Mingbei Town, and hurriedly came to report: "Lord Qiqi, Lord Zuodu, the defenders of the West Gate have hundreds of people who have lost their resistance due to the outbreak of the epidemic, and please send troops to block the road quickly, otherwise..." ”

Suddenly, with a (whoosh) arrow, the arrow pierced his neck, and the general banner of Mingbei Town's Fusi Jinyi Wei slowly fell, and blood flowed all over the ground!

Then hundreds of arrows were shot up the city tower and inserted into the Ming soldiers defending the city, and the Ming Jinyi Guard, the Zuo Du Governor and the Ming Jing Division, the Nine Gate Admirals, immediately pulled out their swords and shouted: "The whole army is on alert and begins to meet the enemy." ”

Jin Yiwei and the western, northern, and central soldiers and horses armies together held all kinds of firearms to shoot at the rogues under the city, and for a time sparks flew everywhere to illuminate the dark night.

Due to the narrow entrance of the city gate, the Ming army did not dare to bombard directly with artillery during the battle between the two armies! And the Liukou under the city was different, and directly pulled twenty tiger squat cannons up and loaded them with shotguns (dong, dong, dong) Dozens of shells quickly flew over, blowing down the Ming army that ignited the fire, and frightened the commander of the nine gates of the Ming Jing Division shouted, "Resist!" Rogue must not be allowed to enter. ”

And he himself took the shield in the hand of one of the captains of the brocade guard, and walked towards the entrance of the city wall with the shield, and fired a few shots here to shoot the rogues, but it was only a dying struggle!

This point was already well known to the Governor of the Ming Jinyi Wei Zuo, and soon the shotgun bombed down many soldiers and horses, and also killed dozens of Jinyi Wei captains, at this critical moment Ming Jinyi Wei Zuo Du Du Governor persuaded again, "Wang Gonggong, count this governor begging you!" Hurry into the palace and let His Majesty evacuate the Forbidden City! ”

After saying that, the Ming Jin Yiwei Zuo Dudu also knelt down on the spot, and saw that the Admiral of the Nine Gates of the Ming Jing Division hurriedly stepped forward to help him, and nodded in agreement with his request, turned around and ran towards the bottom of the steps, and did not dare to turn his head back!

Behind him, bursts of artillery fire bombarded the tower, which also made the prince feel extremely desperate, and he quickened his pace and ran towards the Tube River to .......

It wasn't until the beginning of March 18 that the Dashun army cleaned up the Ming army defending the city in the streets of the imperial city, but the soldiers of the Shun army also found the cat?

That is, some of the Ming soldiers and civilians who died in the war seem to have some strange injuries on their bodies? They all showed symptoms such as purple puffiness and bleeding from the corners of their eyes, but they didn't pay much attention to it and casually cleaned up the corpse.

Emperor Dashun, who was sitting near the Imperial City Taimiao, went inside and took a look at the eighteen emperors enshrined.
