Chapter 53: A one-sided "bloody" battle

"The right battalion of the avant-garde is ready to fight! Cover the right battalion of the rearguard! The artillery team is ready to cover with light shotguns! Xiao Xuan ordered mercilessly at noon.

After a lot of decisions, Xiao Xuan gradually clarified his thoughts and no longer had too much hesitation. His position is that he is the emperor after all, not a rebellious peasant army, and he can talk about peace after rebellion, and reconcile with his former enemies.

If anyone can step into the "Qingjun side" of the palace city from other places without any risk as long as the official gives an order, then he doesn't have to be the emperor. Not to mention that the names and slogans of these people are not even "Qingjun's side", from small soldiers to officers, as long as they have no intention of surrendering, they are all good materials for "killing chickens and monkeys".

As for what happens in the future, will the opponent resist desperately? Xiao Xuan, who has a lot of experience in battle formations, feels that this is a problem for those rookies in the classical era, but it is not a problem for handwriting that is impossible to target rookies. In this way, the capital that exercises the blood of the soldiers does not need to be used in vain. Don't use these defeated armies as the objects of "target training", even if you use those decent peasant armies transformed from the Northwest Frontier Army as training objects, Xiao Xuan feels that there is a danger of skipping the level and fighting monsters for his team at this time.

Although the frontal combat effectiveness of the peasant army may not be very strong, it cannot be overwhelmed by the fact that everyone has a horse, the mobility of playing "local transfer" with light equipment, and even the various experiences accumulated in the struggle against the big landlords. I'm afraid that when you encircle and suppress those people, people won't play with you. Therefore, only after the combat effectiveness of the team becomes more reliable, I am afraid it is suitable to use Gao Yingxiang and other peasant rebels as training objects. As for Houjin Jiannu? Xiao Xuan carefully deduced it early and decided that even if he fought with the Jiannu Field who entered the customs two years later, he would definitely not be too far away from the city or relatively strong fortifications, and it could not be his own bare-pole team, at least 20,000 ideal reliable troops would have to avoid the risk of the Hunhe.

Amid the morale boosted by the rumbling drums of war and the tidal wave of shouts of slaughter, hundreds of cavalry of the Imperial Horse Supervisor rushed in through the mouth of the blasted engineering wall. Groups of teams close together within the squad crossed the palace wall directly from all directions through the ladder board and launched an assault on the target.

Xiao Xuan had personally lectured all the squadrons before: If it is a eunuch, as long as it is standing or running out, it will be regarded as the possibility of killing the enemy in civilian clothes. Those who fall to the ground should also be mended, because it is also possible that they have been impostored. Only those who take off their pants and spread their legs under the warning to prove that they get up and that there is no suspicion of hiding weapons near their naked bodies can they spare a horse. The eunuchs, who had been more loyal and did not have any wavering stance before, had long since sided with the imperial horse eunuchs. The treatment of palace maids is not so strict, but as long as they dare to rush over with the team, Xiao Xuan has already issued an order: the same is to kill, only obediently lie on the ground or hide in the corner, and there are no suspicious weapons around can be let go.

These exhortations also invisibly intensified the sense of fear among the officers and soldiers, and the speed of the frightened teenagers slowed down when they approached the palace wall after stepping over the palace wall, but when many loaded shotguns were also transported into the Forbidden City and bombarded all the doors and windows, the courage of the young officers and soldiers was slightly inspired. When the bravest men stormed the palace without being ambushed, the others followed.

Thousands of people who concentrated superior forces first launched an attack on the Wenhua Hall in the south. At this time, only seven or eight hundred of the more than 1,000 remnants of the enemy who retreated into the Wenhua Hall were still breathing, and four hundred were still sound. Although there was not much disadvantage in terms of numbers compared to the five hundred people of a battalion that Xiao Xuan put into the attack, he had already become a lamb to be slaughtered under the deterrence of continuous artillery bombardment, and for a while, pools of blood, screams and even shouts of killing resounded throughout the Wenhua Palace. In a one-sided white-knuckle massacre, not a single person from the heavily armed Right Battalion of the avant-garde was killed or bloodied. However, when the shouting and killing subsided, every teenager gradually returned to normal, and only then did he feel some palpitations.

Just as the battle in the Cultural Hall ended, another shout of killing sounded in the Yingwu Palace. As an ordinary soldier in the left battalion of the guard, Zhang Huan was very unlucky to meet a middle-aged man who desperately resisted in despair, but it was very difficult for countless short spears to support him from the side. The fierce sound of fire also sounded around him, and he could see blood at close range in the position of no armor, but it could not harm even if the iron sand of ordinary soft armor slapped the middle-aged man who rose up to resist The flesh and blood on his hands and face were blurred, which added to the fear brought to people, and several young soldiers around Zhang Huan seemed to be a little cowering, including the captain.

Forgetting the armor on his body, Zhang Huan, who mistakenly thought that he was about to face his life again, also launched his desperate efforts at this time, continuously stabbing the spear into the bloody and already blurred opponent's opponent, and kicking the enemy's body with his foot. In this way, several other people around him reacted. At least five short spears stabbed one after another, and those who tried to resist were covered in blood.

However, the tragic death of this occasional person who rose up to resist seems to have made many people crawling on the ground in the vicinity cry in fright, not like lambs to the slaughter as they had just done.

"We surrender! Don't kill us! Don't kill us! "Some of the nervous enemies even forgot to throw away their weapons, and the result was, of course, killed on the spot by the guns that were in charge of covering the rear team, and even did not hesitate to endanger those who were about to surrender.

Of course, even so, there were still some remnants of the enemy who won the opportunity to surrender, and after many were knocked to the ground, they were escorted outside the temple.

The brutal, bloody, and one-sided people shocked most of the teenagers from the capital, but more and more people were used to this kind of melee hand-to-hand combat. In the final bloody purge after the continuous shelling, more than 10,000 people, including the wounded, who had already lost their courage under the continuous shelling, were finally only about 1,300 people, because of their strong psychological quality and sober minds, they finally chose to surrender voluntarily. More than a few thousand eunuchs who had reacted inappropriately were also accidentally injured or killed in such bloody purges.

Together with the casualties caused by the previous continuous shelling, more than 10,000 palace maids and eunuchs were killed and wounded in the entire Forbidden City, and about 15,000 remnants of the enemy were also swept away in this brutal purge.

However, this bloody purge finally seemed to make every young officer and soldier who participated in the battle seem to be different, and the initial tension of facing melee and attack battles seems to have gradually dissipated.
