Kill!
It was a bloody rain, and the sun in the sky seemed to be obscured by the smoke of gunpowder at this time, and it seemed that the sun did not want to witness all this. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The black smoke rolls between the heaven and the earth, the fierce wind can not blow away the black smoke between the heaven and the earth, the once prosperous city, is shrouded in the thick black smoke, the red flame in the black smoke almost ignites the whole city, the capital is burning, the red flame swallows the city.
"Kill all the demons!"
"None of them are left! Kill all the demons! ā
The blackened soldiers, smoked by black smoke, let out excited, venting, carnival howls in their voices, and chased after the Qing army in front of them, and at this time, everyone fell into an unprecedented madness.
The spear stabbed forward, blood splattered, waist knife slashed, and flesh flew sideways.
The dazzling sunlight suddenly disappeared, and the sky suddenly became cloudy. The cold wind was blowing in the sky above the capital, but in the streets and alleys of the capital, it was all boiling, and in the streets and alleys, the old people patrolling the streets and the soldiers guarding the city were all desperately using swords and guns to block the Taiping army that attacked the city.
Not only the men, but even the big-footed banner mothers-in-law were also fighting with knives and guns, for them, they had no choice, either life or death, although some people fled backwards in horror, but more people desperately blocked the Taiping army.
This kind of courage that bursts out in times of despair is not for the so-called "I Daqing", but for the family behind them, for the wives and children in the house.
I want to live!
The six with the big knife in his hand can't remember clearly, he cut down a few people, and after rolling down the city wall, he slashed all the way, beside him, one person kept falling, constantly being cut down by hairy knives and guns.
He no longer had the strength to raise his hand again, and saw a soldier wearing a uniform beside him being slashed to the ground, and desperate screams and cries for help could be heard in a nearby house. He didn't seem to hear the voices, but walked on.
I want to live!
With a knife in his hand, the only thought that supported him to continue running forward was his wife and children at home. Behind him, there were screams, screams, and cries for help, listening to the women's cries for help, the children's cries, and he walked without looking back, and those were not his family.
Finally, exhausted, he came to the alley where he lived, and the bluestone road in the alley was full of blood and corpses everywhere, this scene only made his heart hang.
"Xiao Fen, Xiao Fen ......"
Rushing into his home, shouting his wife's name, the next moment a terrible howl came out of his throat, and he saw only two corpses hanging from the beams of the hall.
"Xiao Fen! Big baby ......"
He sat down on the ground, wailing and crying, and he took his wife and children down from the rope, and he didn't know how long he had been crying while sitting beside them and stroking their bodies. By the time his tears were dry, it was already dark.
When he returned, he looked at the bodies of his wife and children, and he said to his daughter-in-law:
"Xiaofen, Dawa, I want to avenge you. I'm going to kill! Kill! Kill, kill all those long hairs! ā
Now the six have no fear of death, and they no longer have any worries. If he only thought about returning home and returning to his family all the way before, he suddenly felt relaxed now. He is now ready to meet a longhair at any time, ready to kill or be killed by the other at any time.
Now he has no concern, no fear.
He went outside and looked around at his neighbor's house. There wasn't a living thing, and the streets were littered with dead bodies, but he no longer felt fear. Further afield, he heard frightened footsteps running, and living people. He felt like a healthy and energetic person who was wandering in a ghost world.
And in the darkness, the sound of gunfire and cannons still reverberates continuously, and on the city wall, you can see the flames from time to time, which is the cannon on the city firing into the city, although it is night, but the capital is full of shouts and killings.
From the time the city was broken, until now, this shouting and killing has never stopped, how many more days will it take?
No one knew, but everyone in the city was fighting as hard as they could, either to kill each other or to be killed by each other. On the road to the Forbidden City, the Qing soldiers of the brigade were still desperately resisting, and the surroundings of the Forbidden City seemed to have become their last barrier.
In the Forbidden City, Yi Xun knelt in front of the portraits of his ancestors and ancestors, tears streaming down his face, and his mouth was muttering.
"Ashamed of the ancestors and ancestors......"
The city is broken!
The Great Qing Kingdom is over!
At this time, Yixun's heart was full of despair, after the city was broken, he didn't think of escaping, but came to the Forbidden City, knelt in front of the ancestor's tablet, and asked the ancestor for sin!
After pleading guilty to his ancestors, Yixun walked out, and as soon as he came out, several people surrounded him.
"Lord Wang, take advantage of the fact that it is dark now, hurry up and get out of the city, if you don't go out of the city, I'm afraid you won't be in a hurry!"
The words of others fell on Yixun's ears, but he smiled miserably, looked at everyone and said.
"Run? Where to run? If the Han people in the world don't allow us to flag people, let's flee there! ā
Staring at those King Zheng, King Duan and others, looking at the dead gray faces, Yi Xun said loudly.
"Look at your little bit of interest, at this point, what's the use of being afraid? Don't forget, you are shedding the blood of Aisin Jueluo, you are the descendants of Nurhachi, even if you die, you will die a glorious death! Prepare armor for this king......"
Originally, Yixun thought that after his scolding, he would be able to arouse the blood courage of his fellow clansmen to some extent, but when he came out wearing a bubble lamp cotton armor, he unexpectedly found that no one was gone!
"They're all gone!"
Looking at Monk Lin Geqin, Yi Xun asked in a very disappointed voice.
"Hmmm......"
Monk Lin Geqin said helplessly.
"Lord, they, they said they were going to Rehe to drive with ......"
"Okay, what a car!"
Yixun nodded vigorously, his eyes full of disappointment, he looked at Seng Lin Geqin and said.
"Monk King, you are a Mongol, those Han people want to kill us Manchus, you ......"
"Lord Wang, I'm also a flag man!"
Monk Lin Geqin shook his head, looked at Yi Xun in armor and said.
"Besides, if you can kill the enemy in front of the battle with the prince today, why not die?"
"Good! This time, I will kill the enemy with the monk king! ā
Just as his words fell, the voice of the eunuch was heard over there.
"Lord Wang, Lord Wang, there is salvation, there is salvation, reinforcements, reinforcements are coming......"
Firelight!
Staring at the red firelight that reflected half of the night sky, Su Shun simply couldn't believe his eyes, the capital was broken!
After the emperor's trip, he was ordered to lead an army of 50,000 to the capital day and night, but in the end it was too late and the city was broken!
Could it be that the Qi of the Great Qing Kingdom is really exhausted?
Now what? The capital is broken, the emperor is dead, and even King Gong is ...... I don't know if I live or die.
The Great Qing Kingdom is over!
Just when Su Shun's whole person was in a trance, and he didn't know what to do, there was a herald over there who brought a message - the minister of the Qin Mission, Sheng Bao, was attacking the back road of the bandits in the east of the city!
After learning the news that Shengbao was attacking the bandits with all his might, looking at the capital city that was caught in the majestic flames, and then looking at the barracks outside the city of the Taiping army, Su Shun suddenly slammed the reins of his horse.
"Immediately send someone to contact Katsu-sama and ask about the situation in Kyochu!"
However, more than an hour later, this Qing army of tens of thousands of people cooperated with Shengbao to attack Dongcheng with all his might, relying on the thousands of catties of copper cannons cast during the Kangxi period brought from Rehe, and several bases, forcing Lin Fengxiang to transfer troops to block this new force that had just been put into the battlefield.
"What, Zeng Lichang escaped!"
The sudden news only made Lin Fengxiang feel dizzy.
Zeng Lichang escaped!
"Zeng, Zeng Vice Prime Minister praised the Qing Demon for storming Xicheng, and he couldn't resist ......"
Before the herald finished speaking, Lin Fengxiang's throat burst out with an angry roar.
"Zeng Lichang should be damned!"
Just when Lin Fengxiang scolded this, more than ten miles south of the capital, a team of tens of thousands of people was retreating towards the south, and occasionally the people in this team would look back at the capital behind them, the capital had been completely engulfed in flames, and the red flames reflected half of the sky, and when they left, they set fire to the city.
The fire borrows the wind, and it burns even more.
"Vice Prime Minister, let's just leave, and when the time comes, Tianjing will be held accountable......"
Xu Zongyang, who was riding on the horse, said worriedly.
"Hmph, pursue? When he transferred 40,000 of our 50,000 people, his surname Lin never thought that Tianjing would pursue it! ā
Liang Zuoshan snorted coldly and said to Zeng Lichang, who had a solemn expression.
"No poison, no husband, now that the Qing Demon has reached tens of thousands of reinforcements, if we take the capital by force, there will be millions of banner people in the capital to fight back, and there will be hundreds of thousands of Qing Demon reinforcements outside, and not only will the capital not go down, but even we can only die in the capital......"
The reason why Zeng Lichang ordered to withdraw was because of Liang Zuoshan's bewitchment, although there were also personal grudges with Lin Fengxiang, but more importantly, the big pancake that Liang Zuoshan drew for him.
"Now the north is erosive, after this war, the prestige of the Qing demon court will definitely fall, the prime minister only needs to withdraw into Henan, seize Kaifeng, then the land of Henan, not let the prime minister take it, when the strength of the other day is restored, the prime minister only needs to lead the troops across the river, and then take the capital, as for the Tianjing ......"
Looking at Xu Zongyang, Chen Renbao and others, Liang Zuoshan sneered.
"Although I lost the capital, but I took Henan, when the time comes, how can Tianjing be investigated?"
But Liang Zuoshan didn't say what he said in his heart, when the time comes, will they be able to pursue them Tianjing who are far away in Henan?
Sneering, Liang Zuoshan once again looked back at the capital city that reflected the sky red, and silently thought in his heart.
The day has changed! (To be continued.) )
