The fireworks are gorgeous, like flowers, gorgeous and dazzling, and the city gate guards of Wulin Gate all set their eyes on this. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info However, it was this moment of astonishment, more than a dozen sharp arrows cut through the stagnation, and accurately inserted into the bodies of one city gate guard after another.

"Enemy attack!"

There was no need to shout, everyone knew that there must be an enemy raid, and the Qing troops guarding the gate woke up their sleeping companions, and the officers went around grabbing troops to organize a counterattack. However, the speed of the Einsatzgruppen was faster, and they quickly navigated through the alleys, and soon approached the vicinity of the Wulin Gate.

"Kill!"

The arrows came from the head of the city, and Li returned to his hometown and did not take it, so the rattan card was fixed in front of him to protect the vital point and rushed straight forward.

He was born in cavalry, and was originally in the horse team of the special operations team, but in this operation, the war horses could not be transported in at all, and the cavalry also had to be charged as infantry.

The Qing army defending the city was suddenly attacked, and it took time for the nearest branch guard barracks to take time, and the hasty counterattack had little effect, and it was quickly killed by the Ming army.

Hand-to-hand combat broke out, no longer fighting in formation, just relying on personal martial arts, chopping and stabbing, flashing and moving, the city gate guards were no match for the special task force.

Just the first face, the Qing army under the city gate was cut down. The Einsatzgruppen team was also simply divided into two, one part of the city wall was killed and the other part was cleared of the other defenders, and the other part was organizing the defensive line, opening the city gates and lowering the drawbridge to welcome the large army from outside into the city.

Luo Yongzhong personally led the team to kill the stairs, and the Qing army at the head of the city hurriedly organized a counterattack and formed a dense battle formation on the stairs, in a vain attempt to block the Ming army. However, the Ming army did not rush over, but pulled out one flintlock handcuff after another from the bag hanging on his waist, rushed up and hit the Qing army with a crackle in no seconds.

The battle formation was broken, and the special task force swarmed up, tearing apart the formation of the Qing army in an instant, and quickly rushed towards the city.

Originally, the Qing army still had hope of holding on here, but once the battle array was destroyed and the Ming army swarmed up, the situation was reversed.

On the stairs, Luo Yongzhong slashed to death the Qing army officer who was still resisting, and as far as the eye could see, there was a Qing army on the head of the city not far away with a bow and arrows to shoot at the Ming army who were rushing to the head of the city.

"Medium!"

The flying knife came out in response and stuck straight into the forehead of the Qing army, the bow and arrow were taken off, and the Qing army was planted directly from the city.

"Quick! Tartar reinforcements are coming. ”

The battle was devastating, but the number of the special task force was still too small, and the key now was to hold out until the Ming army entered the city, which was crucial.

The city gate slowly opened, the drawbridge fell, and the Einsatzgruppen team cleared the Qing army at the head of the city. However, the Qing reinforcements also arrived soon - the soldiers who guarded the road were too close.

The battle broke out again, and the Qing army did not dare to rush this way, but the shooting of bows and arrows was still possible. In an instant, the Ming army that captured the city and the Qing army who went to the aid launched a confrontation on the inside of the Wulin Gate. The Ming army is all handcuffs, and it really suffers in range, but the limited sniper team and those temporary cameo archers are faintly pressing the guards to fight.

Soon, the thunder outside the city was getting closer and closer, and the guards inside the city seemed to hear this, and they stopped their attacks one after another, and then scattered to the alleys near the left.

"The Ming army has entered the city!"

The screams were remembered, and the morale of the soldiers who guarded the road collapsed. The cavalry of the brigade rushed into the Wulin Gate and went straight to the direction of Qingchun Gate in the east of the city.

The healthy horse galloped past him, and his nostrils were full of the body odor of a war horse, which made Li Huixiang, who had not ridden a horse for nearly two months, couldn't help but show a look of intoxication.

"Grandma, you must apply when you go back and be transferred to the cavalry. I didn't ride a horse for so long, and I didn't feel comfortable anymore. ”

………………

The flag flower flew into the sky, not only the Ming army outside the city, but also the Qing army in the city would not turn a blind eye.

The situation at Qingchunmen had calmed down, and the Eight Banners Army's attacks were getting slower and slower under artillery and relatively narrow terrain, and the Raising Battalion used this time to move the defensive facilities such as the Saimen knife carts and the horses used to defend the city to further hinder the attack of the Eight Banners Army.

Time is a friend of the rebels, and it is a friend of the Ming army, but it is an enemy to the Qing army. With each breath, the threat of the Ming army increased, and a large number of the Eight Banners dismounted their horses and began to form formations to kill the rebels.

The ferocity was violent, and these Manchurian, Mongol, and Han soldiers rushed madly to the battle formation of the Tibiao battalion. Dozens of paces closer, javelins and throwing axes swept through the line of the rebels, and then rushed into the crowd.

On one side is the most ferocious group of barbarians of this era, and has been held in the city for a long time, and there is nowhere to spread when the fire starts; On the other hand, the green battalion soldiers who can't even be slaves to the leader of this barbarian group, and the backbone has already been discounted by the Ming army in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, so that the weak brigade with new recruits everywhere, if it is not for the tiger skin of the Ming army, I am afraid that I will not even be able to give birth to the idea of fighting.

The Eight Banners Army launched a temperament, and the Raising Battalion, which was already at a psychological disadvantage, was killed on his back. Xu Xin suppressed the idea of abandoning the army and absconding several times, and tried his best to command the army.

But at this moment, the flag flower in the north of the city was raised, although it was not very clear, but when he saw this scene, Xu Xinden was stunned on the spot.

"Fooled, fooled."

"Dashuai, what are you talking about?"

For Liu Da to wake up, Xu Xin quickly eased up, but when he looked at Liu Da's gaze, the hatred in it immediately became uncontrollable.

Liu Da knew very well that the Qing army marshal in front of him had already figured out the trick here, and when he looked at the pair of eyes, he subconsciously took two steps back.

This is the military formation of the Tibiao Battalion, Xu Xin wants to kill him, it can be said that it is easy, but he does not even have the slightest chance to escape. However, just as he was thinking about how to protect himself, there was a scream in the distance, and Xu Xin immediately fell to the ground. Looking again, it was a carved arrow that went straight through his temple.

"Dashuai was killed by the Tartars, avenge Dashuai!"

Seeing this, Liu Da roared angrily. However, today's standard battalion has long been a thing, the commander is dead, the only remaining morale has fallen to the bottom, and the already dangerous battle array was immediately torn apart by the Eight Banners Army.

The battle formation was broken, and the Eight Banners Army once again entered the rhythm of wanton slashing and slashing and routing, and victory seemed to be at hand. But at this moment, in the direction of the north of the city, the cavalry like a dragon roared, and the strong wind in eastern Zhejiang began to tear apart all resistance in the city.

………………

In the morning, Chen Wen entered the most prestigious giant city in Zhejiang. The limited resistance of the Qing army was basically quelled, and even the governor's yamen had been captured by the Ming army, and Xiao Qiyuan, the governor of Zhejiang, committed suicide in the rear office.

From the beginning, Chen Wen's plan was to obey the strategic goal of recovering Hangjiahu and at the same time cooperate with the Fujian Ming army's counteroffensive.

However, the distance between Hangzhou and Nanjing is more than 550 li, and it is still in the enemy-occupied area, if the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Ming armies want to move north, they must attack Hangzhou before the Battle of Zhenjiang. However, in this way, because of Yue Le, it became to attract firepower for the Fujian Ming Army, which was not in line with the interests of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Ming Army.

Zheng Chenggong and Chen Wen want to help, but it must not be at the expense of his subordinates. Moreover, four years and two months in advance, although he knew that Zheng Chenggong had been fattened by Zhejiang Haimao and Jinhua to make weapons, armor and human trafficking, and his strength was far better than that of the same period in history, he didn't know if Zheng Chenggong would still be as in history this time, and it was impossible for him to make a bigger investment for a possibility.

In this case, it became the best choice to contain the Eight Banners Army in Hangzhou and Liang Huafeng in Susong in Hangzhou and Songjiang to prevent the Qing army from going north to rescue Nanjing. As a result, there was a great victory in Qiaosi Town and a sluggish army under the city of Hangzhou.

Originally, Chen Wen made two preparations, either to break the city directly, or to find a reason not to attack the city, and use the Xu family's uncle and nephew to attract Xiao Qiyuan's attention, so as to achieve the possibility of the special task force breaking the city and then completely annihilating the Qing army in Hangzhou.

Because of Li Ruixin, Chen Wen was inclined to the latter, but when he fell asleep, Xiao Qiyuan sent a pillow. The two sides bargained over the silver, which just delayed the time, and the matter of King Lu's son, the originally prepared excuse, successfully aroused Xiao Qiyuan's suspicion and led it to Li Ruixin and the Xu family's uncle and nephew.

As for the deaths of Xu Lei and Xu Xin, even if the former did not have Yu's revenge, there were ghosts in the house, and the intelligence officers of Hangzhou Station were caught off guard when they came in at night. And since he set up a bureau to kill the former, the latter naturally can't stay, because he participated in part of the conspiracy, and he can easily figure out where Chen Wen's plan is.

In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, Chen Wen arranged for Li Ruixin to attack Xincheng and Fuyang earlier, in order to prevent the leakage of the news of the Li family's mother and daughter and sabotage the entire plan. Now that it is done, the mother and daughter of the Li family have received the camp, and the only thing left is this Hangzhou city.

"Just because I don't like to use tricks doesn't mean I won't. It's just that compared to things like plots and conspiracies, an upright battle is the right way to reverse this remnant of the last days. ”

Chen Wen arrived near the west of the city, which is where the city of Hangzhou is located. When the Qing court came down to build the city, Xiao Qiyuan had intended to occupy the north of the city, where there were slightly fewer people, but the Hangzhou garrison Eight Banners had begun to occupy houses in the densely populated west of the city, so he also pushed the boat to encircle a large area of land and houses in the west of the city.

Hangzhou Mancheng was built in the fourth year of Yongli, when the banner people broke into the local houses, robbed property, destroyed ancestral tombs, demanded women from local officials, insulted scholars, and plundered merchants, which made the business travel sluggish, and seriously affected Hangzhou's commercial activities and taxes. As in the north, they encircled a large area of land between Qiantang Gate and Yongjin Gate in the west of Hangzhou, and blasted away all the original households, and those who did not obey were directly killed.

As a result, "the people of this side support the old and the young, carry the bags and bear the signatures, or sow and move to other countries, or transfer to other places", but "the encircled house has been paying taxes for 20 years." ”

The construction of Mancheng was originally to garrison the Eight Banners, which seriously affected Hangzhou's commercial activities and tax revenue, and harassed the people too much, but after the construction was completed, this phenomenon could not be alleviated.

As the garrison of the foreign conquerors, the Eight Banners guarded the city gates, looting anything they wanted, and even red and white ceremonies were inevitably extorted. In addition to this, there is the notorious business debt.

The garrison of the Eight Banners coerced and lured the people to borrow usury by acting as an intermediary "camp line", and the rapidly rising interest often made the borrowers unable to repay, so the banner people took the opportunity to seize their real estate, wives and children, or forced the borrowers to join the flag camp as slaves. In 1682, the merchants of Wulinmen organized a strike to protest against the debts, and the magistrates were forced to arrest several camps under pressure, only to be besieged by the bannermen.

The fall of Hangzhou originated from the surrender of King Lu to the Qing Dynasty, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty was called a bloodless soldier. Originally, it was a great fortune that the people here were able to avoid military disasters in the process of changing hands in the city, but there were no hard knives to cut people, and soft knives to grind people happened every day. The Eight Banners Army did absolutely bad things here, and the people in the city all hated it, and almost all of them were dispatched, in order to see the day when the Eight Banners garrisoned in Hangzhou were completely destroyed.

"Don't persuade me to surrender, let's start, I've been waiting for this scene for five years, and it's already a little urgent."

Yes, I remember that on Dalan Mountain in the fourth year of Yongli, when Gu Shouli and Qi Xiufeng, two poor scholars at that time, told him about their past encounters, Chen Wen had the idea of demolishing the city.

It's been a thought in my head for almost five years, and it's a great joy to be able to make it come true today. It's a pity that Gu Shouli and Qi Xiufeng, one served as the governor of Nanjiang, and the other inspected the construction and work of the Yamen of the Criminal Division in Jiangxi, so they couldn't watch the demolition of this building with their own eyes, but when they got the news, they should be able to be relieved.

It must be so!

The army has already surrounded the city, and there is no need to persuade him to surrender, that is, to start fighting directly. The city wall of the city is a brick and stone structure, the top of the city wall is enough for two horses to run side by side, it is very strong, the city head is full of men, women and children, what kind of weapons are there, it is obviously a posture of vowing to fight to the death with the Ming army.

"Mantis arm as a car, don't let the people in the city wait too long, everyone came over without breakfast, and they have to go back early to make lunch."

Chen Wen's witty words said that the four mortars of the artillery team directly under the Jinhua Division were also loading and aiming. A moment later, after the loading and aiming, Chen Wen nodded, and the commanders of the four mortar guns pressed the torches on the fire door in turn.

The deafening sound of cannons rang out, and the solid shells of the mortar guns whistled up, whistled and fell, and hit the walls of the city all over the city.

In an instant, blood splattered on the city's head, stones flew everywhere, and the military hearts of the men, women, and children of the Eight Banners, who were still holding the heart of death, were shattered by the huge cannonballs of the mortars.

The Ming army's target was the city wall, and those men, women, and children were desperate to escape from this dead place, and even jumped directly from the city wall. But the shooting did not end there, and after reloading, the mortar continued to fire, and the shells continued to fall on the walls.

First there was a splash of broken masonry, then an even bigger rift, and when a few rounds had passed, when the mortar needed to stop and cool down for a while, the children of the Eight Banners on the city head had suffered heavy casualties, and there were stumps and broken arms everywhere, and as long as they could still run, none of them would continue to stay in the city. On the front city wall, there have been two huge gaps, especially the one that completely tore apart the east gate of the city, which exposed everything in the city.

"King, do you want to send a large army to kill it?"

"You don't have to do this, wait for the temperature of the mortar to cool down and continue to shoot, and force all the guys in the city out of me." After that, Chen Wen called Liu Da lightly, and Xu Lei's cronie Mr. Qian hurriedly fell to the ground.

"When the identification is complete, you are responsible for keeping an eye on them and smoothing this thing out of the city for this king. Remember, let them tear down the city for me with their own hands. ”

The word "hand" is particularly important, Liu Dazi understood Chen Wen's intentions, and hurriedly responded.

In fact, if it weren't for Liu Da being rebelled against by Hangzhou, Chen Wen would not have known about Xu Lei's murder of his father-in-law's family, let alone the death of Yu Rising from Li Rong and this incident back then, so he made up his mind to get rid of this scum - in the troubled times, it is not an abnormal thing to do something against his will in order to protect himself, but Xu Lei can betray and even kill anyone with his own hands, and he has never hesitated for a while, and it will be a scourge for such a person to stay sooner or later.

At this moment, after receiving the task, Liu Da hurriedly breathed a sigh of relief, it is better to have a job than not to have a job, at least the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Ming armies are still willing to use it, useful people are better than useless, because that is the difference between life and death!

After a long time, the artillery cooled down, the extended fire began, and everywhere the shells went, houses collapsed and toppled, and bricks and tiles were all powdered.

After two rounds of shelling, a white flag was erected in the city, and a Manchurian Niu Lu Zhangjing, whose head had been smashed by bricks and tiles, walked to Chen Wenma on his knees, ignoring the wound on his head, and kowtowed desperately to beg for mercy.

"I beg the king to spare my life, we are willing to swear allegiance to the king to the death, and I only ask the master to give this city of men, women, and children a way to live."

"Allegiance? No need, this king is all hot-blooded men of the Han family, so there is no need to wait for these minions. ”
