Chapter Thirty-Eight: Stealing Chickens Can't Be Done
This night, the capital was full of shouting and killing, fireworks rushed to the sky, and the staggered battle lines were tug-of-war with each other, and it did not stop until dawn.
"Let people rest too, I'm tired after a night of fighting." Wu Yi looked back at the vermilion wall of the Forbidden City and said with emotion.
Overall, they were victorious, and the battle line was pushed to the foot of the Forbidden City, which was the result of paying many lives overnight.
Street fighting is a meat grinder, Wu Yi wiped a handful of ashes from his face, and scolded Duoduo for being despicable and shameless in his heart.
Last night, when he was about to turn the tables, Duoduo jumped over the wall in a hurry and blew up half of the street directly, although the power was not great, and the counterattack was not successful, but he took the opportunity to gain a firm foothold.
In this way, the Forbidden City was vacant, and many Duoduo people were ambushed outside the palace, but he didn't expect the people's army to attack so fiercely, he was caught off guard, and he was driven out before he could enter the Forbidden City.
"Martial Sect Head, this is the palace, why don't you live in it?" Liu Xizi didn't figure it out, that is, the head of the martial arts sect didn't even plan to live in the palace.
The people's army fought very ferociously this night, just for the sake of this palace, in their eyes, the head of the martial arts sect must live in this palace.
Because Emperor Chongzhen lived, and then Emperor Tartar lived, the head of the martial arts must live.
For the memory of the palace, Wuyi still stays more on the basis of the impression of the Forbidden City, but this is not right, because this is the Ming Imperial Palace, many of which have not been changed by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and he also has strangeness and admiration, and finally stays away.
"This palace is too demonic, I still don't live in it." Wuyi's explanation is very simple.
Liu Xizi, Li Erdou and others don't understand, because this palace is the palace.
"What do you see?" Wu Yi calmed his mind and looked at this piece of palace in the morning light.
"Big, big, good, good." Liu Xizi didn't have any ink in his stomach, and he wouldn't hide his thoughts in front of the martial arts leader, so he said it directly.
Li Erdou originally wanted to say something else, because Liu Xizi was originally a person who was not good at words, but he really let himself say it, but he couldn't say it for a long time, because the impression that this palace gave them was indeed like this.
"These are all superficial, but it is precisely because of the luxury of gathering the world in one place that it has become a magical place, and people can't help but want to seize the power of the world." Wu Yi figured it out on his own, and it was because of this that he was out of place here.
Liu Xizi looked at Li Erdou, and Li Erdou was also confused, because they couldn't understand it at all, wasn't it?
This fight against the country, the country is naturally going to have the emperor to sit, and now that the head of the martial arts sect is sitting here, they are naturally unconditionally recognized.
Wu Yi smiled, because now that he saw this palace, he was even more jealous, this was not only a cage in Huaxia, but also his own cage, but it was still so demonic, attracting himself to walk in step by step.
It was precisely because this attraction was too great that this morning, Wu Yi did not officially enter the palace, and even when he looked at it, he was far away from it.
"I hate it!"
In the garden, just a few miles away, Duoduo regretted it, and now he was a loser, and he was still too conceited in contrast to what the Nationalists had before.
Take the lead in launching a sneak attack, Duoduo will naturally not leave behind, the guards of the Forbidden City will naturally be brought out, the capital is so big, if you want to advance in an all-round way and drive Wu Dalang out, you must use the means of a thunderous blow.
But he didn't think about defeat, because he also cut off his own back road, and after fighting together that night, he couldn't be tolerated, and there was chaos, people everywhere, and scuffles everywhere.
I was going to retreat to the Forbidden City even if I didn't succeed, but who would have thought that there would be no such opportunity in the melee.
In other words, he is almost equivalent to giving up the Forbidden City, how can he not hate it.
That's not all, Wu Dalang took advantage of the victory to pursue, if he hadn't blown up a street and stopped their offensive, I'm afraid that it wouldn't be as simple as the Forbidden City, and it would not be possible to even Kyoto......
For this, how much the Qing Dynasty has paid, Duoduo is also an insider, so he is so afraid, even if the imperial brother is partial to him, but now this loss is something that Dolgon can't protect.
"Prince, don't worry, it's just a temporary success or failure, I'll take someone to snatch the palace back tonight." Several of his fierce generals were unwilling to ask for their lives.
"Okay, give me a good recuperation, the palace must be snatched back for me." Duoduo said with a hard time letting go.
Now, the situation in the Qing Dynasty is not very good, this palace is also their face, they must take it back, otherwise this time it will become a joke.
Not only did he not allow it, but Dolgon did not allow it, otherwise by that time, the domestic bandits would be even more arrogant.
After more than two months of confrontation, the Forbidden City was finally taken, and the morale of the civilian army was very huge, and the defense began to be strengthened in the afternoon of the same day, almost like an iron bucket.
Rear loading guns were erected at several intersections to prevent the charge of the Tartar cavalry.
Now, the two sides seem to have switched positions, but they are different, because the eastern city was the first to be breached, the people have long since died, and only a few have been left behind, and more importantly, the grain and grass have long been looted by the Tartars.
If it weren't for the fact that Dorgon had left a horse of grain to take away at the outer east gate, I was afraid that the Tartars would be hungry.
The capital, which had reached its peak in feudal society, is now also withering rapidly in the war, and the people in the city are less than 10% of the original, and all the systems in the city are paralyzed, and even the most basic life cannot be guaranteed.
If it weren't for the fact that there was still a palace to support it, I am afraid that this city would be reduced to rubble.
Duoduo failed to attack for two nights in a row, and his opponents seemed to see through it, entrenched here, and fought back against them fiercely, knowing that defense was the easiest.
The Nationalists also had some defensive advantages, and almost effortlessly broke up the offensive of Duoduo, but the Tartars suffered heavy casualties.
"How is this possible? How could they be so strong? Duoduo couldn't believe that so many people had died, and he hadn't even shaken Wu Dalang's defenses.
This is street fighting, the attacker is very disadvantaged, the defending side can wait for work, plus there are accurate firearms, so it is normal for the Tartars to not be able to adapt.
But Duoduo still didn't believe in this evil, and he suddenly found that he couldn't take advantage of the night battle, and it was not as pleasant as the daytime onslaught.
There was a loud bang.
This is the sound of the red-clothed cannon, and Duoduo is red-faced and red-eared, because this is also the artillery that he gave away, which originally belonged to the Qing Dynasty.
The retreat was so hasty that even the palace did not have time to enter, let alone the bulky artillery.
Now, Wu Yi is ordering the bombardment of the buildings in Dongcheng, in fact, many of them have been destroyed by the Tartars, and what he has done is to destroy this place more completely.
On the surface, this is a tactical need, not to give the Tartars a place to rest, so that they have nowhere to hide, but in fact there are preparations for the future.
Duoduo almost jumped out to fight to the death with Wu Dalang, who was tired from fighting this night, and now this Wu Dalang even wants to let them have no place to hide, and the buildings next to the battle line have been bombarded, and they have no intention of stopping easily.
Of course, the children of the Eight Banners of the Tartars could not retreat, so they could only rest in the shelling and rubble, and the unlucky ones might be buried in the rubble.
Don't talk about the strong attack during the day this time, I'm afraid that the morale of the soldiers can't be guaranteed, and the worst thing is that this Wu Dalang is really killed, and his battle line was simply repelled by artillery fire for dozens of zhang.
This is nothing at all for the capital, at most it is just the distance of a big house.
But if Wu Dalang doesn't stop, continue, every day like this, sooner or later they will be forced into a corner by Wu Dalang.
"Wu Dalang! You deceive people too much! Duoduo scolded at the west, and at the same time secretly hated himself, why didn't he think of this idea in the first place, you must know that these heavy artillery were used against Wu Dalang in the first place.
This is the difference in vision, even if there is no them, Wuyi has to plan this place well, and now it is just a matter of convenience.
I was afraid that Duoduo would vomit blood when he knew the news, but now Duoduo was powerless, and he had already understood that with the troops in his hands, it was impossible to seize the palace.
At this moment, the news sent by the scouts outside the city made his eyes light up and applauded loudly.
