How many Qing troops are there in Yanjing City today?

According to Weng Tongyi's statistics, the Qing army, which originally added up to more than 40,000 people, was less than 30,000 at this time, and as for the other Qing troops, whether it was the Beijing Eight Banners or the Green Battalion soldiers, as soon as they saw the "short-haired thief" soldiers approaching the city, they immediately became deserters, and now they don't know which corner of Yanjing City they are hiding in.

"This army can't hold Yanjing City." Weng Tongyi sighed.

The number of the "short-haired thief" army outside Yanjing City is very well confirmed, basically there is an army of more than 1,500 people stationed outside every gate in Yanjing City, which is more than 15,000 people, obviously the number of the "short-haired thief" army is more than 15,000 people, but it has not yet reached 20,000.

This is good news for Weng Tongxiao, but also bad news, the number of "short-haired thieves" is not as large as the Qing army, but the combat effectiveness of the Qing army is very low, and ten Qing troops can barely top one "short-haired thief".

Fortunately, this is a defensive battle, the defender is the Qing army, the attacker is the "short-haired thief", Weng Tonggong heard that the "short-haired thief" field battle is strong, but the siege is not so strong, Weng Tonggong boldly guessed that as the defending Qing army, it almost takes three people to spell out a "short-haired thief".

According to this ratio, if the Qing court wanted to hold Yanjing City, it would need at least 60,000 Qing troops.

It's just that now Weng Tongyi only has less than 30,000 Qing troops in his hands, and he must expand the army.

Taking advantage of the fact that the "short-haired thief" did not immediately attack Yanjing City for some reason, Weng Tongyi hurried to expand the army.

No one in Yanjing City wanted to join the army, so Weng Tongyi smashed it with money and forced it with a knife, and no matter what method he used, he had to get enough strong men to defend the city.

Although the Qing court's treasury did not have much money at this time, those banner people had it, if the "short-haired thieves" captured Yanjing City, they would not only have nothing, but they would also be killed by the "short-haired thieves", so what was the use of the money in their hands?

As soon as Weng Tonggong opened his mouth to ask the banner people for money, the banner people who understood that the matter was urgent hurriedly took out some money for Weng Tonggong to expand the army, but after taking out the money, the banner people were also in pain, but in order to be able to defend Yanjing City, they endured it.

After getting millions of taels of silver, Weng Tongyi quickly used the silver to attract a large number of poor people in the outer city of Yanjing, and let them hold big knives and spears in their hands and climb the city wall to defend the city.

But the common people also know that they have money to join the army, but they also have to have a life flower, and the strength of the "short-haired thief" is already the same as the heavenly soldiers and generals in their hearts.

So much so that Weng Tongyi's method of recruiting troops with silver did not recruit too many people, only less than 2,000 people, these people are still hungry and almost unable to eat, skinny, ragged and about to become beggars, how much combat effectiveness can they have?

This can't be done, Weng Tongyi thought about it, took out a lot of silver again, and promised that as long as Yanjing City was held, everyone would be rewarded with at least one hundred taels of silver.

After hearing Weng Tongxiao's promise, a small number of Qing officers and soldiers showed a greedy look, gearing up, wanting to quickly fight with the "short-haired thief" and defeat the "short-haired thief", obviously this small number of people have been carried away by money.

Next, Weng Tonggong sent Qing officers and soldiers to the outer city of Yanjing to arrest the strong men, and each family had to send a person to defend the city.

In order to be able to defend Yanjing City, Weng Tongyi has gone completely crazy and actually attacked ordinary people.

In a short period of time, the outer city of Yanjing became more chaotic, and there were more Qing officers and soldiers extorting money.

"Lao Tzu can't bear it anymore, and orders all the departments to attack Yanjing City at the same time, and anyone who dares to resist will be killed." Zhao Gang got the information about the chaos in the outer city of Yanjing, was furious, and directly ordered the Han army to attack.

Previously, Zhao Gang led the Han army to surround Yanjing City, but did not attack immediately, because Zhao Gang received an order from Yan Xueyi: in the process of taking Yanjing City, ensure the integrity of Yanjing City as much as possible. (Everyone understands the value of the ancient city of Yanjing, of course, people are more important)

This order made Zhao Gang not attack Yanjing City immediately, but wanted to force the enemy to surrender, or let the agents rebel against some of the enemies, so as to save Yanjing City as much as possible.

However, Zhao Gang didn't expect that Yanjing City would become so chaotic, countless Han people living in the outer city were ruined, and in order to prevent ordinary people from being hurt again, the Han army must attack immediately.

"Attack!"

Rumble!

The gates of Yanjing City were blown open.

"Rush! Those who resist will be killed! ”

"Expelle the Tartars and restore my Han family's rivers and mountains!"

"Those who surrender on their knees will not be killed!"

In the face of the Han army with advanced equipment, it is just a joke to refuse to defend the city, even if Yanjing City is extremely strong, but the cannon of the Han army can collapse the city wall, and it is even easier to blow up the city gate.

The Qing army guarding the city wall was stupid when they saw the Han army attacking Yanjing City, you must know that nearly half of them are ordinary people who are only equipped with big swords and spears, not to mention those timid and cowardly Jingying Eight Banners, even if the Qing army shoots at the Han army, they will be killed by the sharpshooters of the Han army in the next moment, and no Qing army dares to attack the Han army at this time.

At this time, the Han army had already rushed to the bottom of Yanjing City and rushed into Yanjing City from the open gate.

"Run."

I don't know who shouted, and the Qing officers and soldiers threw down their weapons and fled.

Everything happened so fast, so fast that Weng Tongyi didn't have time to react at all, the Han army did not stop, and directly entered Yanjing City, and the weak resistance of the Qing army only brought a small amount of damage to the Han army, and then the Qing army ran away in an uproar.

If Yan Xueyi saw this scene, he would definitely think of the scene of the invasion of China by the Eight-Nation Alliance, the Qing army, which was equipped with advanced equipment and superior numbers, actually fled when it encountered the Eight-Nation Alliance, and it was obvious that the foreigners were afraid of the Manchus.

Now the same way, the Han army also scared the Manchu Qing, and the Qing army did not dare to resist much at all, so they fled one after another, not to mention that the current Han army is stronger than the army of the foreigners.

"Those who flee will not be killed, and those who surrender on their knees will not be killed!"

The Han soldiers had a headache in the face of these Qing troops running blindly, could they still shoot at these fleeing people? You must know that there are many ordinary people who have been arrested.

Fortunately, the shouts of the Han soldiers and the several Qing officers and soldiers who were killed by the Han army as an example made these Qing soldiers who were running around finally stop running away and knelt on the ground trembling. (To be continued.) )
