Chapter 587: Capturing the Manchu Empress

More than 1,000 Qing cavalry rushed down the hillside, all in rags, and the horses were also scratched by the thorns of the branches on the mountain. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info didn't have time to celebrate his escape, and the Qing Demon who had identified the direction ran towards Miyun City.

However, what made them dumbfounded was that they had only run out of the horse for less than two miles, and they saw more than 100 cavalry in the front row falling down one after another, and the Qing soldiers who had fallen off their horses screamed and wailed, which made the rest of the Qing troops feel creepy in the dark night. The dark unknown already made the Qing army extremely frightened.

"Kill the demons!" Shi Dakai, who was hidden in the dark, shouted loudly.

With his order, a signal flare rose into the sky, and with the light generated, Zhang Ying and other 800 horsemen, who were lying in ambush more than 60 paces away from the tripping horse rope, rode on horseback, and opened fire fiercely with Sharps carbines.

The regiment commander, Zhang Ying, had a Colt revolver in his waist, a Sharps carbine still smoking in his hand, a custom-made paper-wrapped bullet diagonally across his chest, and a saber in his back, looking murderous.

He skillfully hung the finished Sharps carbine in the saddle, took out another revolver in one hand, and aimed fiercely with a cruel smile, firing at the Qing troops who rushed over.

Like him, 800 soldiers were armed with two muskets, and there were even more than 100 men with good marksmanship with two Colt revolvers stuck in their waists. At this time, the 800 soldiers also replaced their Sharps carbines, took out their Colt revolvers, and shot at the Qing soldiers who rushed over and were ready to shoot arrows with bows.

Suddenly, more than 200 Qing soldiers were shot and fell off their horses. The remaining Qing soldiers, seeing that the situation was not good, hurriedly surrounded the dozens of people in the middle and fled to the southeast.

Seeing the Qing army fleeing, Shi Dakai and Tan Shaoguang were full of arrogance and shouted: "Kill the Qing demon!" "Lead the personal soldiers around him to chase after the Qing army. And Zhang Ying and the other eight hundred horsemen also howled and reinserted the revolver in their hands into their waists, pulled out the saber behind their backs and brandished it, chasing and killing the Qing soldiers with murderous energy.

The Qing army had no intention of fighting at all, and scattered and fled.

In the dark night, there was chaos, many Qing soldiers fled, unable to distinguish the direction, either found and hacked to death by the captive army, or hit the stumbling rope and fell off the horse and were captured.

Shi Dakai and Tan Shaoguang led nearly 100 relatives and soldiers, closely followed a group of Qing troops, and after running more than a mile, they found that the pursuing Qing troops were getting fewer and fewer, and they slowly scattered and fled.

Seeing that there were only a few dozen people left in this group of Qing troops, Shi Dakai and Tan Shaoguang each led more than 50 cavalry, and wanted to outflank them in two ways, but the Qing army had superb riding skills and couldn't catch up.

Seeing that the pursuing Qing army was about to melt into the darkness, suddenly there was a fire in front, but it was another group of captives who saw that it was Qing soldiers, so they opened fire, shot more than ten Qing soldiers, and intercepted this group of Qing soldiers.

Seeing that there was an interception in front of them, the Qing soldiers wanted to turn to the side and flee, but they had no choice but to delay, and their speed slowed down, and they were intercepted by Shi Dakai and Tan Shaoguang, who were chasing after them.

More than 20 Qing soldiers drew their sabers and surrounded more than 10 other people in the center to protect them, obviously protecting some important person. Seeing this, Shi Dakai also sent more than 20 people to fight and kill, and the other 30 people stared at the more than ten demons in the middle.

Soon, these more than 20 Qing soldiers were cut down one by one by the imposing soldiers of the capture army, and only one person was killed and several were injured.

As soon as the more than ten Qing demons in the middle wanted to escape, they were surrounded by more than 30 people led by Shi Dakai. Seeing this, three of the Qing demons took out a long hairpin from the top of their heads and inserted it into their throats. Shi Dakai and the others were surprised to find that these more than ten Qing demons were all women!

Hurriedly stepped forward to overturn all the remaining Qing demons and fall off their horses, and captured them.

By the time the nine captives were taken back to the valley, it was already getting dark. Except for Zhang Ying's 800 horsemen, the rest of the captives have returned to the valley.

The war is basically over, and the soldiers of the captive army are cleaning up the battlefield.

A night of fierce fighting, although very exhausting, but a big victory, so that the capture of the soldiers very excited.

Tan Shaoguang was also so excited that his face turned red, and the righteous king Shi Dakai beside him was also a calm appearance on weekdays. There was no other reason than the 8 women they had captured.

Shi Dakai didn't expect that they would really capture such an important person:

The leader is the queen Niu Hulu;

secondly, they are the Wan Concubine Suo Xuanluo; Yun Concubine Wu Jia; Rong nobleman Ilgen Jue Luo; Yiguiren Ilgen Jue Luo; Qi nobleman Tong Jiashi; Mei Guiren Xu Jiashi; The nobleman Nala.

A total of eight Xianfeng's concubines.

It's a pity that the Qing demon concubine Borzigit clan and the newly promoted Yi Guifei Yehenara * Xingzhen were not found, and the Li concubine Tatara clan and Ji Chang were in the Wang clan and Qingchang were in the Zhang clan.

In order to prevent the rest of the concubines from committing suicide, Tan Shaoguang rudely threatened that if anyone committed suicide, he would strip off his whole body and put it outside the city gate of Beijing to show the public! Suddenly, no one dared to kill themselves.

Shi Dakai was overjoyed, and after a little discussion with Tan Shaoguang, he urgently reported the battle situation of the ambush of the Qing army, especially the 9 concubines who had captured the Qing Demon Chieftain, to the Holy King Feng Yunshan!

An hour later, Zhang Ying led more than 780 horsemen, escorted more than 300 captives and more than 600 horses, and walked slowly, Zhang Ying was also happy, leading a horse, carrying a Manchu official whose hands and feet were tied up with five flowers.

At this time, the sky was brighter. The rest of the more than 1,000 horsemen also returned to the valley from around the valley, and the soldiers of the infantry regiment on the mountain and the soldiers of the capture army at both ends of the official road also gathered one after another, and the commanders of each regiment reported the battle situation to Shi Dakai and Tan Shaoguang.

Last night's ambush against the Qing Demon was a complete victory. In the post station, the valley and along the way, more than 1,700 Qing demon cavalry were killed on the spot, and nearly 3,000 people were captured, including more than 1,000 wounded Qing demon soldiers, more than 200 Manchu officials, princes, concubines and eunuchs, and palace maids, and less than 1,000 Qing demons escaped.

What made Shi Dakai and Tan Shaoguang depressed was that the Qing Demon Chief Xianfeng actually fled. The main ministers of the DPRK and Central China who fled north with Xianfeng were also nowhere to be seen.

……

Nearly twenty miles to the northeast of the valley, on an official road to Miyun, Xianfeng lay in a dusty wasteland with a embarrassed face, looking up at the sky with a dejected face, and his heart was extremely humiliated.

He suffered more than he had ever suffered in his entire life!

After abandoning the carriage, he finally overcame the shadow of his childhood and the fear in his heart, mounted his horse, and escaped from the valley under the escort of the pro-army guards and the forward battalion and the Xiaocai battalion, but was immediately ambushed by a group of Cantonese thieves who were also horsemen.

The hateful Cantonese thief, as if he knew in advance, had long been ambushed there. Xianfeng was like ashes at that time, knowing that he couldn't escape, and was hesitating whether to commit suicide, or make peace with the thieves and save his own life, or Prince Yi Zaiyuan, took the initiative to lead hundreds of cavalry to the northeast to break through and attract the thieves to the past. Zhu Leheng, the imperial guard, led three hundred horsemen to come, escorting him, the concubine, and the little elder brother to retreat to the southeast first, and found a shallow place on the edge of the Chaobai River, and crossed the river with water, so as to get rid of the pursuers.

Recalling the experience of one night, it was like a nightmare, Xianfeng had never been so frightened in his life.

He wore a cloak, and in order not to reveal his identity on the way, he took off his dragon robe and changed into the clothes of a pro-army guard, and his skin was cut by the branches and thorns along the way, although he was carried by several pro-army guards when crossing the river, he still wet his clothes, and his whole body was wet and cold, and the inner thighs of the horseback were rubbed all the way, and blood oozed out!

These are things that he has never experienced in his life. He secretly vowed to return to the Rehe Palace, to reorganize his troops and horses, and to kill all the Cantonese thieves in order to solve today's hatred.

After resting for a while, Xianfeng was afraid that the thieves would chase after him, so he immediately urged him to flee again.

Along the way, two or three hundred fleeing Qing cavalry came one after another and converged. Seeing that there were more than 600 riders, Xianfeng felt a little relieved. He summoned the imperial guard Zhu Leheng and asked, "Aiqing, how far is it from Miyun City?" ”

Zhu Leheng's face was gloomy, and he replied with a sad face: "Your Majesty, there are still more than ten miles away from Miyun City. The Emperor ......"

Zhu Leheng looked like he wanted to say something, and Xianfeng said angrily: "What's the matter, say!" ”

"Your Majesty, I heard from a few second-class guards who escaped just now that the queen mother and a godmother have fallen into the hands of thieves!" Zhu Leheng knelt on the ground, kowtowed repeatedly, and cried guilty: "The slave should die, he failed to protect the girls!" Minions are capital offenses! ”

When Xianfeng heard this, if he was struck by lightning, he felt a pain in his chest, turned over and fell off the horse's back.
