The defenders of the city were 500 infantry armor and more than 4,000 auxiliaries followed. Now half www.biquge.info of the 500 infantry armor has been killed, more than 4,000 auxiliary soldiers and miscellaneous soldiers have also been killed, and more than 700 have been killed, and three of the four city walls have fallen into the hands of the Ming army.

Jialazhangjing's heart was like ashes, and he secretly said that the tunbao he was holding on to was going to be unable to hold it.

That Jialajangyong suddenly remembered a legend the year before last, it is said that when the Zhenghuang Banner entered Gyeonggi the year before, he encountered a unit full of firearms. The army defeated the siege of Yanguli, and finally Yanguli gave all the warriors of the Zhenghuang Banner to the Ming army in the first battle, and only 4,000 miscellaneous soldiers fled back.

Could it be that what I encountered was this Ming army? Thinking about it, this Jia Lazhangjing became afraid.

How could the flesh and blood of the Tartars withstand the intense fire of muskets? After the Tartars left more than 500 corpses, they did not dare to fight back against the southern wall. They hid near the northern city walls, and in a state of panic they tried to make a last stand.

Waiting for them were 10,000 soldiers of the Tiger Division with rifles in their hands. One by one, the soldiers of the Tiger Division rushed to the top of the city, rifles in hand, pressing down on the Tartars of the northern wall.

There were no pheasant moats on the inner side of the city wall, and the Tartars densely gathered on the north wall became the best target for the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Division. The soldiers in the front row of the Selector Regiment were the first to enter the firing range and raised their guns to shoot from a distance of 200 meters. Just one salvo of more than 200 people in the front row killed more than 100 Tartar soldiers who tried to defend the northern city wall.

Seeing that the four walls of the city were to be occupied by the Ming army.

When the leader of the Tartars, Jialazhangjing, saw the devastating offensive of the Ming army, he no longer had the confidence to fight the trapped beasts. He shouted, "Retreat!" And he jumped off the northern wall. Rolling around on the ground, he got up and fled north.

Seeing the leader fleeing, the fighting spirit of the Tartars collapsed.

In just one morning, more than 1,000 Qing soldiers have died at the hands of the Ming army, how can this battle be fought? As soon as the leader Jialazhangjing fled, the Tartar auxiliaries and miscellaneous servants no longer had the fighting spirit. Although these auxiliaries and miscellaneous servants had a sense of superiority in the face of the Ming army, their morale was also extremely limited in the face of the heavy blow of the facts. The defeat was like a mountain. More than a thousand Tartars on the northern city wall threw away their flags, snare drums, and trumpets and jumped down with Alazhangjing. When the more than 2,000 Tartars in the fort saw that Jialazhangjing had fled, they no longer resisted stubbornly, and rushed to the north city wall, jumped off the city wall, and fled outside the city.

The Qing army jumped down the five-meter-high city wall like a swarm of penguins jumping into the sea, rolled a few laps on the ground, and got up and chased after Jialazhangjing.

The outside of the fort is soft muddy ground, which is not comparable to the concrete floor of later generations, and the Tartar will not fall to his death if he jumps from a height of five meters. However, there were still a few unlucky Tartars who broke their legs and fell to the ground groaning.

The soldiers of the Elective Regiment pressed forward and fired at the fleeing Tartars. At first, only a few hundred soldiers of the Selective Frontier Regiment came into range of fire, but soon the soldiers behind ran up. They rushed to the north of the eastern and western walls and fired at the fleeing Qing troops.

In the process of fleeing, the Qing army was hit by the Xuanfeng regiment on the city wall, and it was even more panicked. The fleeing Qing army was like a swarm of surging ants, and people kept being shot and falling. The people behind were still rushing towards the city wall, hoping to escape from the north wall. However, the width of the stone steps on the upper city wall was limited, and only three people could pass at a time, and the Tartars were crowded under the stone steps, which became the best target for the soldiers of the Frontier Regiment.

More than 1,000 Qing troops who were originally standing on the city wall jumped directly over the wall and all fled. Most of the more than 2,000 Qing troops who fled quickly also climbed the city wall and jumped down. And the thousand Tartars who were still shooting at the Xuanfeng Regiment and were south of Tunpu were not so lucky. The stone steps leading to the city wall were of limited width, and they could not squeeze under the stone steps, and were knocked down by the soldiers of the Selective Regiment.

The blood flowers were like fireworks that burst out on the crowded Qing soldiers.

This is no longer war, this is a massacre.

As the soldiers of the Xuanfeng Regiment fired, the corpses were piled up thicker and thicker under the northern city wall, and finally two or three layers of Qing army corpses were piled on each piece of ground. The blood pooled together, like a stream, flowing under the corners of the walls.

Four thousand Tartars left eight or nine more bodies under the northern wall, and only three thousand escaped from the small fort.

In the end, all the Tartars who did not escape the walls were killed, and the battlefield fell silent. Li Zhi climbed the city wall and looked at the battlefield, and shouted: "The Xuanfeng Regiment is on the horse to chase and kill the rout!" ”

Two thousand soldiers of the Election Regiment immediately went into action, returned to the southern wall, climbed up the ladder, and found their horses behind the artillery position. They rode their horses to the north and pursued the Qing army.

The Selective Regiment galloped to the north, dividing into ten groups to search for the Tartars. After two quarters of an hour's pursuit, a group of cavalry encountered the Tartar army, which had fled northeast with Jialazhangjing.

The soldiers of the Election Regiment wanted to rush up and slash at them, but the Tartar auxiliaries turned around and shot arrows, forcing the soldiers of the Election Regiment to retreat.

The cavalrymen stopped their horses a hundred meters away, loaded their rifles and fired at the Tartar soldiers. There was another scream in the fleeing Tartar herd, and more than 100 Tartar soldiers were shot and killed.

The Tartars were so frightened that they no longer dared to flee as an organization, and scattered one after another. The soldiers of the Selective Regiment laughed, jumped off their horses and cut off their heads, hung them in their saddles, and then rode after the rout, shooting the fleeing Tartars with their rifles.

Another massacre.

In the end, when the more than 200 cavalry stopped chasing and riding their horses, and rode back to Tunbao with their heads, they had already chased and killed more than 800 Tartars.

When the cavalry returned, the Tartar heads in the city had been cut off. Li Zhi counted the first rank, and found that in this battle, 2,441 Tartars were killed and 342 Tartars were captured.

It was a big win.

Li Zhifang, on the other hand, had 37 lightly wounded, 17 seriously wounded, and 14 killed. These casualties were caused by the Tartar archers.

Li Zhi secretly said that after returning from this battle, he would ask the blacksmith to make stronger armor for the soldiers and reduce the casualties of shooting at the Tartars.

Li Zhi handed over the wounded to Shen Yuji's medical team and told the military doctors to hurry up and treat the wounded. Shen Yuji's surgeons hurriedly mobilized to clean up the houses in the tunpu and set up a field hospital.

Li Zhi asked the soldiers to open the south gate and led the troops to ride into the fort.

The Ming military households in the tunpu have probably been killed by the Tartars, or have been plundered, and the tunpu is empty at this time. Li Zhi found the granary, and sure enough, he found bags of grain. The grain, which was contained in sacks of burlap, apparently plundered by the Tartars, was piled up in the granaries like hills, at least twenty thousand stones.

With this food, the 30,000 military horses under Lu Xiangsheng's command will not go hungry.

Li Zhi inspected in the tunpu and found another silver vault. Opening the silver vault, Li Zhi found boxes of various colors of silver piled up all over the room. And it was silver ingots, and it was broken silver, and they were the booty of the Tartars. Li Zhi asked the soldiers to count and found that there were 236,000 taels of silver in the warehouse.

Li Zhi secretly said that this silver is not cheap, Lu Xiangsheng is up. He ordered that each soldier of the Tiger Division would be rewarded with ten taels of silver. The 2,000 cavalrymen of the charging regiment were rewarded with 20 taels of silver each. The rest of the silver was put away by the baggage soldiers, and after returning to Fanjiazhuang in the future, they would also reward the disabled and the families of the dead in this battle.
