Chapter 216: Breaking the Tong Pass
With a loud bang, Meng Qiaofang fell to the ground in response, he covered his chest, he looked at the Ming soldiers in front of him with puzzled eyes, he didn't understand why a Ming who had lost the hearts of the people and never came back could make a comeback in a short period of time.
Thinking about it, Meng Qiaofang was unconscious, Lin Shiwang walked to Meng Qiaofang's side, looked at Meng Qiaofang with his eyes protruding, and he raised his hand to help Meng Qiaofang close those eyes.
"Tartars don't deserve it." sighed slightly at Meng Qiaofang and strode away.
"Let Meng Qiaofang's old department bury Meng Qiaofang."
Under Lin Shiwang's orders, Meng Qiaofang's old department Liu Youyuan carried Meng Qiaofang away, but Meng Qiaofang's other old departments did not come over to see Meng Qiaofang on his last journey.
As soon as the battle ended, Lin Shiwang reported to Zhu Youlang and quickly rushed to Tongguan.
An hour and a half later, Zhu Youlang received an urgent report from Jinyiwei, at this time Zhu Youlang had already received a report from Jinyiwei, knowing that the Qing reinforcements had arrived in Luoyang, and he was already anxious at this time.
"Your Majesty, Lin Shiwang will report it." Ding Siliang cautiously came to Zhu Youlang's side and handed over Lin Shiwang's recital.
Zhu Youlang took a look, his face was happy, he came to the map with his hands behind his back, staring at Tongguan, Zhu Youlang thought for a while, and immediately pointed to Tongguan and said: "Ling Lin Shiwang attacked Daqing Pass, and then went straight to Lingbao Shaanzhou, and nailed me to this place according to this danger."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The battle was still fierce in Tongguan, the Ming soldiers fought for several days, and the combat power was still fierce, and at this time, the green battalion soldiers in Tongguan City also began to be frightened, and they didn't expect the Ming soldiers to be so brave.
Even when they watched the artillery fire shoot around them, they didn't even blink their eyes, they still rushed and struck, and when the two sides were attacking and defending, the Jinyi guards found the target to attack.
Ninety percent of the people in Tongguan City are the descendants of Tongguan guards, Tongguan folk customs are fierce but come from, and there are no less of them are hereditary brocade guards.
At this time, the attack and defense of Tongguan had deeply killed and injured a large number of Qing court loyalists in the city, and the old Tongguan guards in the city also gained greater autonomy.
Even though the Qing court's reinforcements had arrived in Luoyang at this time, the soldiers in Tongguan City were still low.
At this time, Lin Shiwang, who was about to arrive at Tongguan, received Zhu Youlang's order, and immediately packed up his troops and went to Daqing Pass.
Just when Jinyiwei reported to Chen Youlong and Wang Jincai, the two immediately collected their troops and camped outside Tongguan to rest, and when the soldiers in Guanshang saw the Ming soldiers retreating, they thought that the news that the Qing reinforcements had arrived in Luoyang scared the Ming soldiers away and cheered.
At the third watch in the middle of the evening, Chen Youlong and Wang Jincai were in the tent of the Chinese army, and they looked at the map of Tongguan conveyed by Jinyiwei.
"Brother Chen, whether you can perform or not depends on tonight." After discussing the proper attack, Wang Jin said a word to Chen Youlong with a solemn face.
Chen Youlong understood that this was their onslaught for several days, but it did not work, but they knew that the Qing reinforcements had arrived in Luoyang, but Tongguan did not advance an inch, and the soldiers were heavily injured.
"I will personally participate in this battle, if I can't do it, as soon as the Tartar reinforcements arrive, Brother Wang will bring my head to see Your Majesty." After thinking for a moment, Chen Youlong's eyes widened and he said decisively.
"Brother Chen, as soon as the Tartar reinforcements arrived, and Tongguan was not taken, I still thought that you would carry my head to see Your Majesty."
After that, the two looked at each other and smiled and strode away, and half an hour later, the Ming soldiers silently walked to the Ming soldiers.
These soldiers all held bamboo cards in their mouths and followed the team headquarters, and the team general looked at the flag and gathered, and under the mobilization of the flag and the commanders, the Ming soldiers gathered silently.
When it came to the fourth watch, the Ming soldiers lined up outside Tongguan City, and Chen Youlong stood in front of the formation with a lancet and a suit of armor.
"General, the hour has come."
Hearing this, Chen Youlong looked at the bright moon in the sky and sneered: "The whole army is attacking."
As he spoke, Chen Youlong waved his knife and pointed at the gate of Tongguan and shouted: "Everyone, the meritorious deeds are in the present day. ”
After speaking, Chen Youlong led the Chinese army to rush towards Tongguan.
At this time, Wang Jincai, who was not far away, also led the Chinese army forward as if Chen Youzai was there.
Under the command of the banner, the Ming soldiers rushed to Tongguan, and at this time, the Ming soldiers still did not have a fire noise to Tongguan City, and at this time, the Jinyi guards in Tongguan City also began to organize the local people to lead weapons one by one in the city, standby.
The guards who had already negotiated at Tongguan also began to patrol the camp.
Just when the Ming soldiers rushed to the bottom of Tongguan City fifty paces, a tiger roar sounded, and the Hongyi artillery that had already been prepared immediately ignited.
After a few breaths, the Tongguan Qing guards who were surprised by the tiger's roar saw thousands of fires coming directly, and for a while, the Tongguan City was full of fire.
It turned out that under the dispatch of Zhu Youlang, Hongyi cannons from all over the country were continuously transported to Tongguan, and by this time, Chen Youlong and Wang Jincai already had thousands of Hongyi cannons.
Under the salvo of so many Hongyi cannons, Tongguan screamed again and again, and just after the cannon was huge, the Qing guards in Tongguan City immediately called for soldiers to gather troops and rush to the city.
At this time, the Jinyi guards, who had already been on standby, immediately ordered the local people to rush towards those city gates, and under the dispatch of those guards who had already been in order, the soldiers at the city gates had already been replaced by anyway soldiers.
By the time the loyalists arrived, the Ming soldiers had already rushed in through the city gates, and when the Ming soldiers broke through the city and rushed in, the soldiers surrendered one after another.
After several days of fierce fighting, these green battalion soldiers were already frightened, if it weren't for the Qing Eight Banners to supervise the battle behind, they would have already opened the city and surrendered.
When the Qing loyal army and the Qing Eight Banner soldiers arrived at the city wall, the Ming soldiers had already inserted the flag weaving into the city tower, and after taking over the Hongyi cannon Buddha wolf machine inherited from the Ming Dynasty in Tongguan City, the Ming soldiers immediately turned the muzzle of the cannon and fired at the Qing loyal elements in the city.
For a while, the Qing soldiers were in a panic, and just after the artillery stopped, the soldiers of the open fire battalion rushed over with bayonets.
Under the bayonet fight of the 2231st team, the Qing soldiers, who were already in chaos, immediately broke and fled.
Chen Youlong carried a knife and climbed the city tower with a bloody face, and he held a clairvoyant mirror to look at the Qing soldiers fleeing in the distance, and his face was happy.
"Can't let these Tartars go."
Under Chen Youlong's order, the Ming soldiers, who had already been angry, chased after them with their knives with a cold face, and at this time, countless Qing soldiers began to surrender in batches.
But these red-eyed soldiers are no longer under the control of military discipline, they kill when they raise their knives, and they stab when they pick up their guns, without the slightest mercy.
It's just that for those soldiers who were attacking the city, but cut them with their hands, they didn't have to be embarrassed.
When the sun rose, the Ming soldiers, under the orders of Chen Youlong and Wang Jincai, gathered all the troops to the Tongguan barracks, except for one to defend the Tongguan city wall.
At this time, Chen Youlong and Wang Jincai's faces were very ugly, because the red-eyed Ming soldiers did not even let go of the families of those Qing soldiers, and their actions were more basic than those Qing soldiers, because the families of those Qing soldiers surrendered and killed them.
The entire Tongguan Eight Banners and their families have fallen under the swords of the Ming soldiers, and the families of those unclear green battalion soldiers are also somewhat affected by this. Read the latest chapter of "Late Tomorrow's Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
