In this way, the Ming army began the bloody battle in the military grain city......

As for the protector, he won't wait.

This battle will take some time, the three thousand Qing troops who have already held the heart of death, will not be killed so easily, the street fighting in the city is inevitable, although the military food city is not big, but at least the battle will not end before tomorrow.

But the end is decided.

All that's left is the attack on Tianjin!

At this time, the other two brigades of the Second Marine Army had already arrived, the cavalry brigade and the heavy artillery brigade directly under the Dengzhou Metropolitan Department were also in the sea, and even a corps transferred from the south for reinforcements had already set off in Haizhou, and it would arrive in half a month at most. Zheng Chenggong commanded two armies to attack the 10,000 Qing troops in Tianjin, and the latter was also a divine army, and they would not surrender either, but what Yang Qing wanted was that they did not surrender, and these people must be cleansed. In any case, the vast majority of soldiers in the Ming army have not really experienced bloody battles after all, and this huge legion, which has expanded to a total of 21 armies and a total strength of nearly 500,000 combat troops, is actually not rich in combat experience.

They are indeed well-equipped, well-trained, and have high morale.

But......

The vast majority of the soldiers never fought.

Ordinary soldiers of the Ming army belong to compulsory soldiers, but the service period is five years, and after five years, depending on the situation, it will be changed to a mercenary system.

Although the officers have all been on the battlefield, it is true that the combat experience is also very limited.

After all, they have not fought for many years, starting from the Yellow River War in the eighteenth year of Chongzhen, and now they have only fought a purely local small-scale war in Shandong for more than six years. At that time, a total of three and a half armies were invested on the battlefield, and the time for which it was carried out was also very short, and the training of the army was limited, so it can only be said that it ensured that the combat effectiveness would not decline.

But to say that it is much worse than the veterans of the Thirty Years' War in Europe.

Now it is enough to have this big war.

From Tianjin to Shandong to Henan, there have been seven armies on the long front that have been put into the battlefield, not counting the acting with Li Guo, it can be said that in addition to the ones that cannot be moved, most of the ones that can be invested have been invested. The three armies in the Shandong battlefield besieged Dongchang, the two armies in the Henan battlefield defended and one army attacked on the periphery, plus the two armies in Huaibei and the two armies in the west, the Ming army already had a total of eleven corps on the battlefield. Next, there will be an army transferred to the north, and two armies will be put into the counteroffensive against Duoduo, and Huang Fei's army will have to enter the pass to receive the territory, in short, the scale of this war is unprecedented, and the troops invested are unprecedented, and the Ming army will basically be invincible after this war.

As for the dead and wounded, it's not a big deal.

At Yang Qing's level, the number of casualties has long been just a number, and the reserve system of the Ming Dynasty has long been established, and tens of thousands of dead and wounded are just tens of thousands of conscription orders.

Millions of young adults are waiting!

They are even looking forward to joining the army and going to the battlefield and then fighting to get ahead, and kill thousands of miles to find a marquis.

Yang Qing then took off his heavy armor and landed alone, dressed in civilian clothes, and rode through the swampy area of Xianshuigu to Jinghai directly.

The Jinghai area is quite normal.

After all, everyone knows that this is not a strategic place, whether it is Li Zicheng or Yang Qing, it is impossible to attack here, and those local officials and local tyrants can still maintain order for the time being. However, there is already chaos, especially those banner people Zhuangzi, who have begun to be looted, after all, at this time those who remain in Zhuangzi are old and weak women and children, and those heroes and bandits will see hell if they don't take the opportunity to grab a wave.

Anyway, everyone knows that no matter whether Li Zicheng or Yang Qing comes, they will not uphold justice for them.

There are also flag people running to Tianjin.

Although they knew that the result of escaping into Tianjin would definitely be reduced to cannon fodder, the problem was that if they didn't run to Tianjin and stay outside, it would be a dead end.

Their grievances are not small.

Yang Qing was not interested in caring about this, he directly hired a boat to cross the canal, and after a landlord's family forcibly changed horses, he crossed the triangle lake in the dry period to the west, and ran to the northern capital along the Lugou River, that is, the Yongding River. In fact, at this time, it can't be called Yongding River, this name is given by Ma Ge, at this time it is more vivid to call Wuding River, of course, the official name is Lugou Water.

He galloped all the way to Yongqing.

And here is no more chaos than can be described......

"Old and young masters, there is revenge and revenge!"

Outside a banner village outside Yongqing City, an old farmer was excitedly waving a hoe and shouting.

Beside him was a red flag.

In fact, he just found a piece of red cloth casually, and at this time, both the Shun army and the Ming army unanimously used the red flag, which was Yang Qing's mandatory requirement for Li Zicheng. The people here must not understand, they know the red flag, a bamboo pole carrying a piece of red cloth is the flag. But the simplicity of the flag does not matter, its symbolism is the most important, and at this moment, under this banner, thousands of excited young men are carrying hoes, wooden shovels and other farm tools, and even some carrying freshly dismantled guillotine, and they are rushing forward under the leadership of this old peasant.

On the fence of the opposite Qizhuang, a group of old, weak, sick and disabled people are organizing defense.

Their defense was pointless, though.

The difference in numbers between the two sides is too big, and the earth wall is not a city wall, it is nothing more than a small dock fort, and it is okay to fight with a large number of people, just these old, weak, sick and disabled are meaningless.

Yang Qing looked at this scene with embarrassment.

In fact, the Shun army has not yet come, and even Boluo is still in Tongzhou, and the canal is still under the control of the Qing army, but it is obvious that the common people can't wait, since Li Zicheng's army doesn't care about these cornered places, then the common people will do it themselves. Anyway, officials from all over the country have begun to flee, even those heroes have begun to flee, they are not necessarily afraid of the Ming army, after all, the Ming army is reasonable, but they are really afraid of Li Zicheng's stick.

It's still fresh in my memory!

It can be said that the triangle lake has completely fallen into anarchy until the north of the vast belt-like wetland of Baiyangdian.

Then there is no revenge, there is revenge, there is revenge?

"Daddy, my son has avenged you!"

A young man not far from Yang Qing shouted, and then he pulled the trigger with a crossbow that he didn't know where to go.

The arrow whizzed out.

But unfortunately, it passed over the target's head.

The latter was also taken aback, but this guy, who was obviously dressed as a petty official, immediately waved a book, and shouted as if possessed by a miracle, and the young man gritted his teeth and loaded the arrow again, and then raised the crossbow again to aim.

"Give it to me!"

Yang Qing stretched out his hand and said.

The man looked up at him suspiciously.

Although Yang Qing rode a horse, many of these people also rode horses, in fact, there were several officials dressed up, and even some were obviously wearing militia uniforms. This person didn't think much about it, Yang Qing, who spoke the local dialect, was just a member of this chaotic army in his opinion, he knew that his skills were too poor, so he handed the crossbow to Yang Qing after thinking about it.

The Protector didn't even aim, he was aiming at a fart less than thirty meters, and he took it with one hand, and he shook it casually, and pulled the trigger the moment he pointed at the guy.

The bolt hit him right in the head.

The petty officer with the arrow fell straight back.

"Divine arrows!"

The young man shouted in surprise.

"Loaded arrows!"

Yang Qing threw the crossbow at him.

The man didn't say much, and quickly reloaded him with an arrow, Yang Qing still took it casually with one hand and raised his hand to shoot it directly, and then the other defending flag on the opposite side fell with the arrow on his head.

There was an immediate cheer all around.

The first arrow may be luck, and the second arrow is really a magic archer, the two young men reached out at the same time and excitedly took the crossbow to reload the arrow, and then handed it to Yang Qing respectfully, Yang Qing still took it with a pretending indifference. But this time he didn't shoot directly, but sat upright and looked around, surrounded by expectant eyes, so he stretched out his idle left hand again, and everyone around him was confused, but then a smart man suddenly woke up and hurriedly handed him another crossbow. Yang Qing took it with satisfaction, and in a gaze of disbelief, he took a heavy crossbow in one hand, and aimed steadily at the earth fence......

"It's called Double Fly!"

He said with a reserved smile.

After speaking, both hands pulled the trigger at the same time, and in a scream, two crossbow arrows instantly nailed into the chests of the two bannermen.

There was a petrified shock all around.

"Don't kill people indiscriminately after you get in, we are a country of etiquette!"

Yang Qing threw the two crossbows to the people below and said.

"But we are revenge, these dogs rely on Jiannu as a backer, and they have caused us miserable all these years!"

A person next to him said.

"Fool, do you know that the empress has long issued an order not to use Han people as slaves, and all slaves and maids are now all aliens like Jiannu? Do you know that as long as a bearded girl from the Western Regions is not too ugly, the price starts at 100 taels? Do you know that a handsome guy who buys a small guy can fry thousands of taels? As long as those adult men can work, they will sell it to the imperial court to dig bird droppings for five taels of silver! Killing them is revenge, let them dig guano on the island is better than death, and they are often taken by red-haired ghosts on dry roads, isn't it revenge? ”

Yang Qing said hatefully.

"Where?"

A profiteer in the crowd said with a twinkle in his eyes.

"All the brigade-level logistics offices of the imperial army have people who specialize in collecting this, don't sell it to Li Zicheng's people, they are second-class dealers, and if they do, they will also sell it to the south, and the price is much lower than that of the imperial court!"

Yang Qing said.

There was an immediate round of jubilation......

"Kill, what are you waiting for?"

The profiteer raised his arms and rushed to Tuwei without hesitation.

Yang Qing watched with a relieved gaze as they submerged the earthen fence in front of him, and then continued to hurry contentedly, and after forcibly changing horses a few times, in the evening of this day, he finally saw the northern capital after a long drive of four hundred miles, but the city had been shrouded in war......
