Chapter 723: Dorgon's Way Out
Under the bombardment of naval artillery and the frantic blows of the armed helicopters of the navy, the city of Gaizhou, which was not heavily guarded by heavy troops, was immediately broken, and a regiment of marines entered through the east gate of Gaizhou and then came out of the west gate, leaving behind the thick smoke of Gaizhou to attack the back of the Gaizhou defense line.
Dudu, the king of Anping County of Qing, who had retreated from the Gaizhou defense line in a hurry, led thousands of panicked cavalry and more than 10,000 Qing troops who had abandoned their positions to collide head-on with the marines who were killed from behind.
When the brave meet on the narrow road, the words are good, the Qing army is more than ten times the enemy, and it seems that there is a battle power.
However, these Qing troops have been repeatedly destroyed by the Tiance Army, the structure has been chaotic, and their morale has plummeted, and they have simply collapsed neatly under the blow of the Marine Corps' air-ground integration.
"Da Da Da!"
"Boom, boom!"
100-millimeter mortar shells continued to fall from the sky, eight Wuzhi-9 helicopters circled and strafed, amphibious assault vehicles on the ground went on a rampage, machine guns and automatic rifles continued to spray blazing flames, and the Qing troops were swept down in pieces.
The frightened Qing army fled in a panic, only hating his parents for having two legs.
The armor of Anping County King Du Du was crooked, his face was full of gunsmoke, blood slid down his forehead, and the sturdy helmet could not stop a small piece of shrapnel, and a piece of his scalp had been cut off.
What is the image of the prince, what is the ambition, what is the honor of the Qing warriors, he can't care about it, run, don't run, a large number of defeated soldiers are holding him, and he can't help himself.
"Bump Bump Bump Tu Tu!" "Boom, boom, boom!"
A Wuzhi-9 helicopter fired a 23-millimeter small cannon shell like flowing water, hitting two parallel ballistics on the ground, and Du Du screamed miserably, and nearly 100 Qing troops were blown apart.
"King of the county, go this way!" A personal soldier Goshha hoarsely reminded Du Du Dao on the horse.
Du Du swept his eyes and understood that the Tiance Army was specifically chasing deserters with a large number of people, and the goal was large when there were many people.
"Follow me!" Dudu flicked his horse's head and galloped in the other direction, followed by dozens of his own soldiers, Goshha.
It's a pity that his outfit has long attracted the attention of the Tiance Army, although on the battlefield of tens of thousands of defeated soldiers, with drones, helicopters and radio communications, Du Du's whereabouts have been locked.
Three amphibious assault vehicles followed in a zigzag pattern, killing and wounding countless Qing troops who fled along the way, and quickly approached the rear of Du Duma's team.
No matter how fast the war horse is, it can't be as fast as the special military vehicle, and seeing that the chasing soldiers are coming, the pro-soldiers Goshha shouted one after another: "The king of the county is leaving, we will resist for a while!" Dozens of pro-soldier Goshha brandished sabers and reflexively killed three amphibious assault vehicles.
Du Du didn't even look back, and desperately whipped the war horse and fled for his life.
"All of them!" "All of them!" The vehicle-mounted machine gun suddenly rang out, and the pro-soldiers Goshha were torn apart one after another under the blow of heavy bullets, whether it was a war horse or a human body.
Quickly dealt with these eyesore guys, three amphibious assault vehicles quickly caught up with Du Du, and one amphibious assault vehicle suddenly overtook Du Du's war horse, suddenly crossed in front of him, and stopped.
The violently running war horse crashed into the body of the special steel without hesitation, "Dang! With a bang, the armored car just shook, but one person and one horse were suddenly stunned, and they immediately fell to the ground.
In front of Du Du's eyes, Venus was rising, his qi and blood were surging, and there was hardly a place in his body that was not painful. He shook his head, and then he saw more than a dozen Tiance Army soldiers rushing out of those steel chariots.
Du Du, who came to his senses, was about to get up quickly, ready to draw his knife to face the battle, but a soldier of the Tiance Army went up with a heavy two-gun butt, and Du Du, who smashed straight into his muscles and bones, couldn't get up at all.
"Tie up, this should be a big fish!" A captain of the Tiance Army said, his tone full of joy.
When the walls of Gaizhou trembled like fireworks, Dorgon knew it was all over.
There is a desire to collect the remnants, in the case that Gaizhou has been broken and the Gaizhou defense line is scattered, everything is in vain, don't think about anything, how to save your life is the most practical.
"Prince Zheng, the Qing Dynasty may not have much time, but the more the king sees me and the Xinjueluo family as an enemy, so I must not fall into the hands of the Tiance Army." Dorgon said dejectedly.
The Gaizhou defense line was breached, although the Manchu Qing Dynasty seemed to have 300,000 troops left, in fact, it was already declining, a large number of elite troops had been annihilated by the Tiance army, a large number of old and weak remnants of the army were filled with it, and they were also powerless to the Tiance army, which was as strong as a tiger.
Zilharang didn't understand that in the face of the Tiance army, the fall of the Manchu Qing was only a matter of time, and the fierce battle in Gaizhou was just a matter of obeying the mandate of heaven.
In the two battles of Gaizhou, the Manchu army was sharply reduced by forty percent, and the Tiance army was only wounded a little in the first battle, which can be seen that the fall of the Manchu Qing has entered the countdown.
"Isn't Prince Rui going back to Shengjing?" Zilharan had already heard something else in Dorgon's words.
Dolgon shook his head and said: "You and I are the generals of the defeated army, and the loss of Gaizhou is so huge, the emperor will definitely not spare us and others." ”
This is indeed the case, don't look at Dolgon as Huang Taiji's younger brother, in order to clear the way for his son, Huang Taiji doesn't mind killing Dolgon and clearing the obstacles.
Due to the death of King Azig and his eldest son Haoge in the battle of Dorowu County, among the younger generation of princes, Dolgon's power has risen rapidly, and Prince Daishan of Heshuo, who can balance each other, is already old, and the prince Fulin from Huang Taiji's main palace queen is still a young child. Huang Taiji himself has been plagued by illness in recent years, and the idea of paving the way for his son is growing day by day.
Zilharang also knew that someone had to take responsibility for the defeat of Gaizhou, either himself or Dorgon. In fact, there is little significance in returning to Shengjing, looking at the posture of the Tiance Army, Shengjing may be Wang Yue's ultimate goal.
"What are Prince Rui's plans, I'm Jilharang with the tail wing."
Although Zilharang is the uncle of Dolgon and Huang Taiji, he is only a cousin, and he will never participate in the struggle for supreme power, and his choice in the political struggle is to take sides.
When Huang Taiji was alive, Zilharang was, of course, a staunch follower of Huang Taiji. After Huang Taiji's death, Zilharang wisely chose Dolgon, and posthumously posthumously crowned Xinyi as the auxiliary uncle of the government.
Now the two of them are brothers and sisters, and with the assistance of Zilharang, Dolgon finally has some confidence: "Liaodong has become a land of right and wrong, and it is not suitable to stay for a long time." I think that Yelu Dashi only led 200 people back then, and he actually created a century-old foundation. Whether to the west or to the north, I am still in the Qing Dynasty, so why worry about the big thing. ”
