Two days later, Fang Yuan and Wu Sangui stood on the east tower of the town, looking at Dongluo City, which had already been bombed into ruins. At this time, in Dongluo City, there were thousands of charred Manchu Qing Tartars, and two or three thousand Tartars who were blown up and had incomplete limbs, missing arms and legs, and were screaming miserably before they died.

Fortunately, in winter, the corpses decompose more slowly and do not waft out a disgusting stench.

In the explosion a few days ago, the Manchu Tartars were killed and burned to death, and four or five hundred people jumped off the wall separated from the main city and were captured by the Guanning army. These captives came in handy, that is, to clean up the Tartar corpses in the city of Dongluo.

This big explosion not only destroyed Dongluo City, but also collapsed a section of the southern city wall close to Dongluo City, and Wu Sangui ordered the soldiers of Guan Ning to step up the repair of the collapsed city wall.

In this battle, Fang Yuan won easily and beautifully, and destroyed 10,000 Manchu Tartars with white flags without much effort, which can be said to be the biggest loss suffered by the Manchus since the Battle of Sarhu.

Wu Sangui looked at Dongluo City, which was bombed into ruins, and really couldn't figure out the reason, so he asked in amazement, "Regent, when the Manchu Qing Dynasty took over the arsenal, they searched the gunpowder in the arsenal one by one, and even sent heavy troops to strictly guard it, how did you ignite the gunpowder in the arsenal?!" ”

Fang Yuan smiled noncommittally, igniting the gunpowder in the arsenal may be an incredible thing in the eyes of the people of the Ming Dynasty. But in the eyes of modern people, it is a matter of effort. All you need to do is buy a timed lighter on Taobao.

Fang Yuan had purchased hundreds of electronic timing igniters on Taobao before, directly calculated the time when the Manchu Tartars entered the city, and threw them into the powder keg of the arsenal. At the level of knowledge of the Manchu Tartars, the purpose of these igniters was not known. When the time came, more than 100 electronic igniters ignited at the same time, detonating the arsenal.

As for whether the Manchus would enter Dongluo City, it was a psychological war between Fang Yuan and the Manchu Tartars. According to Fang Yuan's estimate, the Manchu Tartars would definitely be suspicious of Wu Sangui's surrender, and if they were led to Xiluo City first, they would be suspicious and suspect that there was an ambush in it.

Moreover, for an army, the most important thing is the arsenal, the arsenal. Especially for the Ming army, which was accustomed to hot weapon combat, the arsenal was even more indispensable. Regardless of whether Wu Sangui really surrendered or faked, as long as the Manchu Tartars controlled the armory and arsenal, what big waves could Wu Sangui's Guanning army make?

Taking a step back, the Manchu Tartars who entered the city forgot to take over the armory and arsenal, and Tang Tong, who accompanied him, would also hint at the Tartars on the side. Even if it is hinted, the Manchu Tartars are unwilling to take over, or send a small force to take over, Wu Sangui's Guanning army can also immediately take the timed igniter in the arsenal, and then directly turn around and start a war with the Manchu Tartars.

This time the explosion was able to annihilate nearly 10,000 Manchu Qing Tartars, and such an impressive result was beyond Fang Yuan's previous expectations.

Fang Yuan also had to explain these modern technologies to Wu Sangui in detail, and said lightly, "Wu Dudu, even strange birds can fly into the sky and set fire to an arsenal, what is the difficulty?!" ”

Since he was unwilling to reveal more details, Wu Sangui did not dare to ask any more.

Fang Yuan walked slowly along the city wall and asked, "What important generals did you kill the Manchu Tartars in this battle?" ”

Tang Tong stepped forward and said with a smile, "Regent, this time it was the British prince of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Azig, who led the troops into the city, but Azig took advantage of the night to escape from the waterway, and only killed Gushan Ezhen, Turg, who was full of eight banners and white flags, this is really the highest-level commander killed by the Ming Dynasty since the Battle of Sarhu." The regent Shenwei will surely shock Jiannu and go down in history forever! ”

Turge, this person Fang Yuan still has the impression that he had fought on the battlefield in Shandong, but Gushan Ezhen, who had never thought of a dignified banner, died in Shanhaiguan.

What Tang Tong said is not only a sycophant, but also true. Since the start of the war in the Ming and Qing dynasties, it has been all Tartar soldiers chasing the Ming army's buttocks and beating them in the back, where have the Tartars killed such an important person. This time, it was a severe blow to the military morale and morale of the Tartars.

In history, this Tang Tong first voted for Li Zicheng, and then voted for Dolgon, and this time was no exception, he had already surrendered to Fang Yuan behind Wu Sangui's back. In this big explosion, with Wu Sangui's thoughts, he was unwilling to use the arsenal and armory as bait, so as not to cut off the back road of the Guanning army.

However, Tang Tong secretly helped Fang Yuan, put the hundreds of timed igniters he bought into the arsenal, and when he greeted Azig, he strictly followed Fang Yuan's instructions and introduced Azig into the trap of Dongluo City step by step, which can be said to be a great contribution.

Fang Yuan saw that he was a military general, and he was still so powerful, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "General Tang, I have written down the great achievements you have made this time, and I will be rewarded afterwards." ”

Tang Tong was busy thanking him again and again, and the step of first surrendering to Cheng was finally the right one.

Fang Yuan's gaze fell on Wu Sangui, and he said unhurriedly, "What is a solid mountain with a white flag, didn't the Guan Ning army blow up Nurhachi, the head of the Manchu Tartars, in Ningyuan?!" ”

He said this with irony, and he didn't believe the results reported by Yuan Chonghuan and Guan Ningjun at that time, and the death of Nurhachi had a Mao relationship with the battle of Ningyuan.

Wu Sangui had already been shocked by Fang Yuan's unfathomable profundity.

In this battle, he originally wanted to ride the wall and watch, on the one hand to lead the Manchu Qing into the city, and on the other hand to help the Xuanjia Army set up a bureau. According to his previous estimate, the two sides will not be able to tell the winner if they do not fight for a few days and nights, and after the Manchu Tartars and the Xuanjia Army start the war, according to the progress of the battle, the final ownership will be decided.

But he never thought that the Manchu Eight Banners, which were known as invincible in the world, had not yet confronted Fang Yuan head-on, but Fang Yuan directly caused a big explosion and wiped out the entire army overnight. What's more, the arsenal and armory in Shanhaiguan have all been blown up, and the weapons and firearms of the Guanning Army are all gone, so can they continue to deal with the Xuanjia Army with their bare hands?

At this point, Wu Sangui no longer had any bargaining chips, so he could only honestly surrender to the Xuanjia Army.

Although the words below him were sarcastic, Wu Sangui was strong, so he could only listen obediently. Moreover, Tang Tong has already surrendered, if Wu Sangui is not honest again, Fang Yuan can use Tang Tong to replace Wu Sangui at any time and command the Guanning army to fight.

Wu Sangui replied respectfully, "The death of the old slave in Jianzhou may have nothing to do with Ning Yuan's victory, but Yuan Chonghuan falsely reported his military exploits back then, and Wei Gelding deceived his superiors and subordinates. ”

Fang Yuan saw that he was knowledgeable and informed, and he didn't have the style of the previous warlord, so he opened his mouth to ask for merit indiscriminately, and said with a satisfied smile, "Whether Nurhachi was seriously injured by the bombing in Ningyuan, this is also a past matter, so there is no need to mention it again." This Gushan Ezhen Turg of the White Banner is just a beginning, and the Gushan Ezhen of the Manchu Eight Banners, as well as Azig and Duoduo, together with the Manchu Emperor Dolgon, none of them can survive! ”

"Good!"

His bold words are also the goals that the three generations of Ming emperors since Wanli, Tianqi, and Chongzhen have dreamed of. Jing Jie, Chigutai, Wu Sangui, Tang Tong and others who accompanied them all bowed their hands, either sincerely or forced, all applauded loudly, and the momentum shook the sky.

After everyone got off the wall, Tang Tong asked in a low voice, "Regent, how should those injured Manchu Tartars be punished?!" ”

Fang Yuan asked rhetorically, "Are you willing to use Guan Ningjun's rations to support them?" ”

Tang Tong hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, no." ”

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice, "What are you doing then?!" By the way, cut off the braided scalp of a thousand tartars and give them to Dorgon as a gift! ”

Tang Tong understood and hurriedly ordered the sergeants of the Guanning Army to go to Dongluo City and kill all the wounded Manchu Tartar soldiers. Then he cut off another thousand scalps and sent two soldiers to the Manchu military camp, which was regarded as a demonstration and provocation.
