Chapter 257: Battle of the Jingshi No. 7
The gates of the capital were opened one after another, and countless Wu soldiers poured into the city. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Wu Sangui gave an order: "The Han people must not be killed, and the surrendered green battalion soldiers and Han officials will not be killed!" All banner men and men, identified and killed, young and old, will be put to death! ”
The bannermen who tried to escape from the city were stopped by the Wu army and divided into two sides according to men and women, and all the bannermen and men, from infantil babies to old men in their seventies, were all escorted by the Wu army to the moat and cut off their heads with a knife.
"All the banner women are sent to the barracks to serve as battalion ji!" Gao Dejie gave the order.
In Yanjing City, the flames were soaring, and houses were set on fire, and the burning wood made a crackling sound. The firelight illuminated the smiling face of the Wu soldier, and the cries and screams of the banner man were mixed with the sinister laughter of the Wu army. Sergeant Wu rushed into the courtyard where the flag man lived, and when he saw the flag man man, whether it was an old man or a child, he couldn't help but say that he was hacked to death. When they met the banner woman, the Wu soldiers pounced......
Huang Bin stood at the gate of a courtyard, took out a pack of Nanyang brand cigarettes from his pocket, took out a matchbox, opened the matchbox, and found that there were no matches, so he walked to the yard where the fire started, picked up a burning wood on the ground, lit a cigarette, and took a deep breath.
"Huang Bin, the brothers are robbing women, why don't you go?" A soldier of Wu asked.
"Those banner women, there are not a few good-looking ones, and they are all unappetizing when they see them." Huang Bin shook his head and said.
Another Wu sergeant said with a smile: "Something is better than nothing!" Don't be a picky eater! Even the ugly Tartar woman is much better than her own hands! ”
"Hahaha!" The surrounding Wu soldiers burst into laughter.
Just when the soldiers of Wu went from house to house, plundering and slaughtering as much as they wanted, the horn of assembly sounded in the city. An officer ran over and shouted at Sergeant Wu: "All assembled!" Get ready to attack the Forbidden City! ”
The Forbidden City was still in the hands of the Qing army, and after the city of Beijing was broken, the Qing army garrison Bo Guoduo retreated into the Forbidden City with a group of Eight Banners and Green Battalion soldiers, as well as Han officials who stayed in the capital. In the Forbidden City today, there are still 600 8 banner soldiers, 800 Praetorian Guard guard battalion soldiers, 3,000 green battalion soldiers and more than 1,000 eunuchs left.
The guard camp of the Great Qing Guards guarding the Forbidden City looks bright and majestic on weekdays, but in fact it is just a silver-like pewter spear head, and it has no combat effectiveness at all.
The cannon sound of the "boom" attack on the Forbidden City began, and the overwhelming cannonballs smashed into the Forbidden City wall like hail, and the cannonballs fell on the city wall, smashing the Qing army above it to stand on its footing at all.
"Kill the dog!" The shouts of killing shook the sky.
The Wu army erected a pontoon bridge on the Jinshui River, and groups of Wu troops shouted, rushed across the pontoon bridge, and set up a simple ladder on the city wall, and the Wu soldiers climbed up to the city head like ants. On the city wall, the Qing army continued to smash down rolling wood and stones, shoot feather arrows and bird guns, and smashed down fire oil cans.
Although the resistance of the Qing army was very stubborn, there were only a few thousand people who could not hold the huge Forbidden City. The Wu army attacked from all directions, and the Qing army blocked the Wu army here, and the Wu army over there climbed the city wall.
Bo Guoduo took twenty elite Goshha and eighteen white-armored soldiers to fight fires everywhere, and wherever the Wu army climbed to the top of the city, Goshha and the white-armored soldiers rushed there. Bo Guoduo personally slashed and slashed with his sword, and more than thirty Wu soldiers died in his fall, and every Goshha and Baijia soldier was also covered in blood, and each of them cut off at least a dozen Wu soldiers' heads. However, the Forbidden City, which had a circumference of five miles, could not be blocked by a firefighting team of less than 40 people, and more and more Wu troops climbed the city wall and engaged in fierce battles with the Qing army at the head of the city.
After the cannon fodder team of the Wu army landed at the head of the city, Wu Sangui's most elite soldiers also landed in the city.
As soon as the soldiers climbed the city wall, they immediately formed an overwhelming advantage over the Qing army at the head of the city, and the stubborn Qing army was cut down in a pool of blood by the soldiers one after another.
Bogodor came to the aid with Goshha and the White Armor soldiers, of whom there were thirty-nine men, six of whom had been lost in the fierce battle just now, and only thirty-three remained. But there were at least hundreds of soldiers at the top of the city! The combat effectiveness of the Yakuza was not inferior to that of Goshha and the White Armor Soldiers, and they had an advantage in numbers. It's just that the position of the head of the city is narrow, and the soldiers can't encircle Boguoduo, and can only fight in a straight line.
The two sides were evenly matched, and basically every time the Qing soldiers killed a Qiang, they had to fall a Goshha or Baijia soldier. But there were so few people around Bogo that after a while, there were only seven left, and all of them were injured.
"Let's go!" Boguoduo didn't want to die in battle, so he took the remaining six people, turned around and ran, and fled down the steps of the tower, and soon overtook the few green battalion soldiers and eunuchs who were running in front of them, and quickly fled down the tower, and fled into the Forbidden City, which was crisscrossed by buildings.
The soldiers slashed and slashed all the way, and by the time they had killed all the green battalion soldiers and eunuchs blocking the road, Bo Guoduo had long since disappeared.
The gates of the Forbidden City were smashed open, and groups of Wu soldiers poured into the city.
"Bang bang bang" A row of bird guns shot sounded in front of him, and a row of Qing army bird guns suddenly appeared above the palace wall, and rows of bullets came over, and the Wu army that rushed in front fell a large piece.
The musketeers behind Wu Jun stopped, raised their muskets in unison, and pulled the trigger on the palace wall. The white smoke rose up, and the Qing army's birds, who had no time to retract their heads, fell from the wall one after another.
"Brethren! Come on! One of the Wu Army officers in the lead roared.
After Wu Jun entered the Forbidden City, he found that the courtyards in the Forbidden City were criss-crossed, and there were walls everywhere, and people who were not familiar with the terrain inside could not even find the door. However, Bo Guoduo led a group of Qing musketeers and archers, carried ladders, climbed the wall from time to time, and opened fire on the Wu troops running in the middle aisle, killing many Wu soldiers.
After the Wu army suffered several losses, they began to set up a human ladder, climbed over the wall, and eliminated the stubborn Qing army inside.
Bo Guoduo took his five remaining cronies and more than twenty Eight Banner soldiers and retreated to the courtyard near the Shenwu Gate. Bo Guoduo asked people to block the gate of the courtyard from the inside, but the Wu army had already killed him, and someone had just climbed the wall when an arrow from a Qing soldier pierced the throat and fell from the wall.
The second soldier of Wu climbed to the top of the city and was killed by an arrow from the Qing soldiers.
"Blow open the gates!" A Wu Army officer shouted.
Wu Jun piled up the collected gunpowder canisters at the gate, connected the fuse, lit them and withdrew. After a while, only a loud "boom" was heard, and the gate collapsed.
Hundreds of Wu soldiers poured into the gate, their muskets aimed at Bo Guoduo and the remaining twenty or so Qing soldiers.
