After three months of attack, Niangzi Pass has been somewhat dilapidated, the city is full of dents hit by artillery, and most of the walls at the head of the city have been cut off.

Originally, Jiang Xiang personally led the rebel army, although the wall was damaged, but the Qing army did not want to enter the pass, but as soon as Jiang Xiang withdrew, the situation immediately changed greatly.

Looking down from the sky, the two-mile-long wall, a corpse wearing a battle jacket and wrapped in a turban, scattered on the wall on its back or lying on its stomach, scarlet blood flowed out from under the corpse, gathered into a stream, cooled and frozen.

Some of them had a few arrows stuck in their bodies, some had a war knife or half a spear, shields and various weapons, and there were banners with the word "Ming" written on them scattered everywhere, and unextinguished flames were smoking from the collapsed tower.

Niangzi Pass, the ninth pass of the Great Wall, the east gate of Shanxi, was broken by the Qing army.

After Jiang Xiang's main force retreated overnight, the broken men and horses held on for four days under the condition that the army's morale was shaken, and finally the Qing army broke through this Xiongguan, which they had not taken in March.

The door of the eastern line of Shanxi is wide open, and the Qing army's iron cavalry can go straight to Shanxi, and the entire land of the Sanjin Dynasty will fall under the claws and iron hooves of the Qing army.

The terrain of Shanxi is relatively closed in the north, the areas of cholera were mainly Guanzhong and Henan, the areas of the Qing army were mainly Hebei and Shandong, and Shanxi was relatively safe because it was surrounded by mountains and the Yellow River.

Shanxi is a relatively well-preserved area in the north, with a large population and merchants, and was the main source of taxes for the Qing court.

This betrayal of Shanxi completely angered the Qing army, and an unjustified killing and the terror created by the Qing army will envelop the land of Sanjin and bring deep suffering to the people living here.

The gate was opened by the Qing army, and the soldiers did not clean up the corpses on the wall, so Lou Qin led the main force of the Qing army and rode a war horse into the pass.

On both sides of the gate, holding a spear, wearing a jacket, with a red-topped hat of the Hebei Green Battalion, standing on both sides of the guard, Lou Qin led the white armor and eight banners to ride a war horse from the door hole through, the hooves of the horse "Dong Dong Dong" stepped on the ground, and the iron hooves of the Qing army finally trampled on the land of Sanjin again.

Several generals of the rebel army, whose clothes and armor were tattered, their faces were covered with blood, and their bodies were wounded, and they were escorted by the Qing army and knelt on the side of the road. If you dare to rebel against the rule of the Qing Dynasty, you will kill them all! ”

"Wow!" The head of the green battalion immediately saluted, and the Qing army standing behind immediately kicked several volunteer generals who were tied behind them to the ground, and then picked up the spear in his hand and stabbed it hard, and then pulled out and stabbed again, blood splashed, and the scene was cruel.

Lou Qin watched for a while, and saw that several people were stabbed all over the body, and they couldn't die anymore, so they clamped off the belly of the horse, continued to move forward with the attitude of a victor, and stopped in front of the empty camp of the rebels behind the pass.

At this time, a green battalion general wearing a horseshoe sleeve official robe and a bowl hat walked out quickly with a war knife, and reported on one knee in front of Lou Qin: "Lord Qiqi, the rebel camp is empty!" According to the lowly interrogation, the traitor Jiang Xiang has withdrawn his troops for four days! ”

Lou Qin had expected this, if Jiang Xiang hadn't withdrawn, he would not have been able to win the Niangzi Pass so quickly.

As for why Jiang Xiang withdrew his troops, Lou Qin can also guess that there are only two possibilities, one is that Wakda broke Luzhou, killed Niangziguan from the south, and threatened Jiang Xiang's flank, so that Jiang Xiang had to withdraw his troops, and the other is that Jin Guo made a move, Jiang Xiang's back was completely exposed, so that he could only retreat to Taiyuan.

It doesn't matter which one it is, the important thing is that Jiang Xiang retreated, and his army finally rushed into Shanxi.

Niangziguan is less than three hundred miles away from Taiyuan, and four days have passed, and he can't catch up, but he must rush to Taiyuan as soon as possible, and he can't give Jiang Xiang too much time to prepare.

Lou Qin's face sank, and he immediately roared urgently: "Pass the order, the striker is in a hurry, rush to Yangquan tonight, the chickens and dogs will not stay, and the soldiers will be set up overnight!" ”

The Qing army has been fighting hard outside the gate for nearly three months, and its morale is a little decadent, and there must be a massacre to stimulate the morale of the army, and the Qing army wants to create terror and make the Sanjin frightened.

When many generals heard the order, their eyes flashed with fierce light, they had been on the expedition for so long, they were eager to vent, and they were busy receiving orders.

With Jiang Xiang's evacuation to Taiyuan, it was almost undefended from Niangziguan to Taiyuan.

Under the order of Lou Qin, the cavalry of the Qing army roared out, galloping all the way, burning, killing and looting along the road, and doing all kinds of evil.

When Jiang Xiang retreated, he sent people to notify the rebels and officials of the prefectures and counties along the way, Yangquan, and retreated to Taiyuan with Jiang Xiang, and some of the people in the city hid in Siye, and the other part shaved off the hair they had just lost, and then dragged off the Hanfu, changed into full clothes and hats, and prepared to redo the Shunmin of the Qing Dynasty.

For ordinary people, the most important thing is not to recover the rivers and mountains, not to live in the national righteousness, this is the instinct of animals.

When it was dark, a team of white armor and eight banners rushed to the outside of Yangquan City, the volunteers in the city had already withdrawn, and the people in the city did not dare to resist the Qing army, so they directly opened the door and let the Qing army enter the city.

The gentry who stayed in the city found the rich people in the city, pooled a sum of money to buy their lives, and asked them to kill chickens and sheep, prepare wine, and entertain the Qing army who entered the city, hoping to escape a section, but after the group of beasts finished eating, they immediately turned their faces, and the slaughter began with the wine banquet and spread throughout the city.

In the dark night, the firelight in Yangquan City was intertwined, and the terrible screams, the women's wails, and the old man's pleas for mercy were intertwined, and hell was nothing more than that.

It was not only Yangquan that was slaughtered, the Qing army went all the way to the west, and the killing spread all the way, and all the places along the way were slaughtered.

Shanxi's anti-Qing influence on the north was too great, and Dolgon could only use brutal killings to deter the north, so that all the Han people dared to be afraid and did not dare to resist, and they were more than 100,000 Manchurians in order to stabilize the country.

The Qing army burned and killed all the way, which really created a terrifying effect, killing the three Jin Dynasty in fear, many people fled to the mountains, and more were driven all the way to Taiyuan by the Qing army, and they did not dare to resist at all.

East of Taiyuan, sixty miles away.

In the wilderness, the fleeing crowds were lined up one after another, with men pushing carts and carrying burdens, and women carrying burdens to help the old and the young flee to the west.

"The Qing army is catching up! Come on! After an exclamation sounded, the people who were already exhausted and fleeing for their lives lifted their last breath and rushed forward, they saw the Qing cavalry catching up, and there was an immediate commotion behind the team, and the desperate people couldn't help crying.

The cavalry of the Qing army had a hideous face, the spears in their hands were stained with blood, and thousands of cavalry had already turned into beasts, and they were not soft at all for the ordinary old and weak, and there was no trace of compassion that normal people should have, almost no different from beasts.

The war horses galloped, the Qing soldiers crooked on horseback, the weapons in their hands were withdrawn backwards, and they were aimed at the prey in front, and everyone looked hideous like beasts.

A team of Qing cavalry caught up, spears pierced, war knives slashed, countless people fell in the vast field of blood in wailing, and the road instantly flowed like a river of blood.
