"Powder keg, bring the powder keg!"

Yang Qing turned around and shouted.

At this moment, he also stood in the doorway of Zhengyangmen Wengcheng as if going back in time, but he was wearing the clothes of ordinary people, and he was wearing a cotton armor taken from the dead corpses of the Qing army, and a birdcage that was used as a helmet was fastened on his head......

Well, it's the birdcage.

To be precise, a padded jacket was put on the outside of the birdcage.

This thing also has a certain protective ability when buckled on the head, at least it can't be injured by stray arrows.

And he was accompanied by more than a dozen volunteers who were also dressed strangely, all of them were poor people living in the outer city, although there were actually Shun troops behind, but the poor people who were eager to open the inner city and get rich still rushed ahead of the eager. Under the leadership of Yang Qing, a coolie who appeared out of nowhere, and with the help of their familiarity with the terrain here, when the Qing army and the Shun army were shooting at Zhengyang Gate, they suddenly rushed out and quickly broke through the firepower network and rushed into the doorway. In the houses on both sides of the street behind, countless poor people awaited their success, and all their excited eyes were fixed on the smoke and flames behind the city walls......

It's time to get rich!

There were gold, silver, jewelry, food, and countless women, and the end of the Jiannu that once dreaded them had come, and no one knew better than them where the best things were in this inner city.

You can't be preempted by others.

It is said that Li Zicheng is surrounded by hundreds of thousands of volunteers who came spontaneously, and it goes without saying what the purpose of these guys is, even the volunteers who came as far as Baoding have appeared. Although the inner city has enough wealth to carve up, it would be a shame that as a local native, it was still preempted by outsiders. At this moment, almost all the outer cities of the northern capital can move, and even many women are gathered nearby, waiting for the moment to open the city gate.

It's time for the party!

"Powder keg!"

Behind Yang Qing, a guy wearing a costume and wearing two layers of leather jacket as leather armor also turned his head and shouted.

In the distance, in front of the house by the street, four men were jogging forward with a large door panel, just like their original profession, jogging forward at a uniform pace, bullets and arrows from the wall constantly falling on the door panel. But the thickness of the latter itself and the wet quilt on top of it offset the power of these things, and the four original sedan chairmen continued to move forward under the door panel, and a powder keg was tied to the bottom of the door panel......

"These guys are really quick!"

Next to the Shunjun artillerymen who were firing at the city wall, Gao Yigong held a telescope and said with interest.

His subordinates were watching the excitement.

Since there are people as cannon fodder, then these Shun troops are naturally happy, anyway, the northern capital has actually been broken, not only Liu Fangliang in the direction of Xizhimen has entered the city, but Tian Jianxiu in the direction of Chaoyangmen has also entered the city.

In fact, the Qing army has turned into stubborn street fighting, but there are only about 300,000 bannermen in the inner city, and most of them are old and weak, women and children. With 70,000 elite Shun troops and more than 300,000 volunteers still growing, it was only a matter of time before the city was cleaned up. Although Bolo outside made a tentative attack, he hurriedly withdrew to Tongzhou after being beaten by the Western Regions Army......

In fact, Bolo is preparing to run away, and the bannermen in the Tongzhou area are fleeing to Jizhou.

It was clear that they were ready to get out of the country.

In this case, the generals of the Shun army are not willing to consume more of their subordinates, and the battle to break through the city wall has caused them to suffer more than 5,000 casualties, and the resistance of the Qing army is still very tenacious.

And their enemies are not only the Qing army.

Yang Qing's army has already taken the army grain city and the soldiers are approaching Tianjin, if their losses are too great, they will not have the ability to resist Yang Qing.

Negotiation also needs to be strong enough.

"Ready to enter the city!"

Gao Yigong shouted.

Dang Shousu beside him immediately gave an order.

The four palanquin men in the distance finally braved the fire of the Qing army to send the powder keg into the city gate hole, and then the volunteers inside rushed out, but a face suddenly flashed in the field of vision of Gao Yigong's telescope, and he subconsciously screamed.

"What's wrong?"

Dang Shousu next to him said.

"Nothing, I'm a little too nervous!"

Gao Yigong said self-deprecatingly.

It was clear that he was too nervous, or rather worried about that face that kept him in the driver's seat, so much so that any face that resembled it could cause him to panic.

"How could he be here!"

Gao Yigong shook his head and muttered to himself.

Immediately after that, the fire and smoke in the city gate cave erupted at the same time, and a huge explosion suddenly came......

"Kill, enter the imperial city, and enter the palace of the king!"

Dang Shousu pulled out his knife and shouted.

The Shun army, which had been waiting for a long time, rushed forward, but those volunteers still rushed ahead of them, and before the smoke of the door cleared, the first group of volunteers rushed in. The Qing army on the city wall hurriedly retreated, preparing for the defense of the main city gate, but immediately after the ladders were set up on the urn city, those impatient volunteers held on to the ladder with a smile on their faces, and soon the first batch of Shun troops to arrive began to climb the ladder. This classic picture of time and space confusion announced the comprehensive breakthrough of the inner city of the northern capital, and at the same time, the Deshengmen Water Pass in the north of the city was also blown open by the Shun army.

Immediately afterwards, a raging flame ignited on the tower of Zhengyangmen City, and the Qing army guarding the main city wall finally chose to abandon the city and flee in the face of the continuous rushing Shun army and the bravery.

Zhengyang Gate opens.

Dang Shousu rushed in first.

But at the moment of rushing out, a cannonball on the opposite Daming Gate whistled, bounced up after hitting the road in front of him, and hit his chest with huge force, and half of Dang Shousu's body immediately turned into a spray of blood mist.

Gao Yigong in the back screamed.

"Kill, enter the imperial city, don't leave the chickens and dogs!"

Stimulated by the death of his brother, he pulled out his knife and roared.

And on the city wall above him, Yang Qing remembered with satisfaction the death of another old acquaintance, and then immediately lit the arquebus on a cannon in front of him that had just been turned over. The flames of the muzzle of the cannon suddenly erupted, and more than a dozen pounds of shells whistled through the air, and suddenly hit the side of the cannon that had just killed the party and the guard, and the broken arrow stacks turned into countless broken bricks and swept the Qing army around the cannon.

"Raise the muzzle of the cannon, and let's say hello to Dorgon!"

Yang Qing shouted excitedly.

The volunteers beside him who had been bravely subdued by him happily adjusted the muzzle, and then hurriedly completed the reloading procedure, and the muzzle of the cannon was aimed directly at the palace in the distance......

"Regent!"

Ning Wan said cautiously.

Dorgon still sat on his throne, his eyes closed, like a clay sculpture.

"Regent, according to the view of the slaves, we still have the best policy to break through, now there are nearly two thousand soldiers in Baya, there are enough horses in the imperial city, Andingmen is also in our hands, and the thief army is in the north of the city, only Liu Tichun has more than 10,000 people. Two thousand Baya Lajung guards the regent is enough to break through, whether you go to Xuanfu or Jizhou, you can take a temporary rest, not to mention that the Boluo army is still in Tongzhou, summoning it to meet is enough to protect yourself, even if you can't wait for King Yu to come back, you can go out of the customs and return to Shengjing! ”

I continued.

In fact, he is purely deceiving himself, not to mention whether he can rush out, even if he rushes out, can he escape the pursuit of the Shun cavalry?

But what if you don't run?

Do you want to continue to die here?

Duoduo definitely didn't expect it, they all knew this in their hearts, but they didn't want to admit it, saying that Duoduo was opposite to more than 100,000 Ming troops, and they had to ask if they agreed to it when they retreated. What's more, there is Jiang Hao on the flank, at this time, Jiang Hao can still maintain his loyalty to the Qing Dynasty, it is a joke, if Jiang Huang goes out of Taihang to cross Handan, then Duoduo is the result of being surrounded by the Ming army.

"Back to Shengjing? Is there still a place for me in Shengjing? ”

Dolgon said quietly.

Indeed, he can't go back to Shengjing.

He defeated the national fortunes of the Qing Dynasty in the Guannei, and it is strange that the princes of Shengjing can spare him after he goes back! Over the years, he was the de facto emperor in Yanjing, and in a sense he had split with Jierharang in Shenyang. The latter and Haoge, who had withdrawn from Korea, took control of the Shenyang government and remained behind with a total of less than 50,000 bannermen, which was in fact equivalent to being abandoned, and the main forces of the Eight Banners were all happy in Guannai. If he went back as a loser at this time, he would have been killed by these two, and if there was no army of Duoduo, there was no point in just going back with Bolo's troops, as long as Zilharang offered enough, Bolo and the generals would not hesitate to sell him.

He couldn't escape death when he went back.

What about going back? At present, the eight banners outside the gate can't add up to the strength that can resist the Ming army, and it can be said that it is completely at the mercy of Yang Qing. Then the result of his return was nothing more than waiting for the Ming army to defeat Shenyang, and then continue to flee as a mourning dog, until he fled to the deep mountains and old forests to survive. Could it be that his future is like his father walking out of the deep mountains and old forests, and then returning to the cold and hungry deep mountains and old forests to be a savage?

Going to climb the ice and snow?

To be wrapped in stinking hides and in the company of wild beasts?

It's better to live than to die!

The regent, who had been accustomed to sprinkling flower petals in the bath every day over the years, shuddered at the thought of that kind of life, and he quickly took a sip of the tribute tea in front of him.

"This king will not leave, this king will die in this palace even if he dies!"

He said quietly.

At that moment, there was a sudden piercing whistling overhead, and the next moment, accompanied by a downward spray of tiles and broken wood, a cannonball pierced the roof, and at once hit him not far away, hitting the ground and then bouncing up, and then crashing through the window and flying out.

I screamed like a sluggish reaction and fell to the ground.

Dolgon ignored it, and continued to sit there with his teacup, blowing the dust on the water, and taking a gentle sip of tea in the sunlight that penetrated the large hole in the roof, like a delicate petty bourgeoisie drinking coffee by the window......
