The heavy shelling was only the beginning, and less than half an hour later, the shelling stopped, and tens of thousands of soldiers, armed with muskets, overwhelming the sky, shouting, rushed into the city of Langfang while shooting, and rushed in with almost no effort. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Far before dark, the city of Langfang was taken, most of the Tartars defending the city were killed, and about three or four thousand were taken prisoner.

The soldiers went into the city, cleaned up a little, and then began to go into the city to rest, and for several days they lived in tents outside the city, and now they could finally rest and sleep peacefully.

Beijing.

It was already dark, and the news finally reached Dolgon, who stood up in astonishment when he heard that Langfang City had been lost. Dolgon knew that Langfang City would be lost sooner or later, but he never thought that it would be so soon.

Dolgon's face was a little unsightly, because Langfang was too close to Beijing City, Langfang City was lost, and Zhang Feng's tens of thousands of horses stationed in Langfang City were equivalent to a nail driven there, which seriously threatened the safety of the Manchu Tartars in Beijing.

The matter was serious, where did Dolgon dare to slack off, and immediately convened the Manchu high-ranking generals to discuss the matter, and soon, the hall was brightly lit, and there was a heavy and solemn atmosphere, hearing such news, these Manchu generals knew that things were not good.

Dolgon said loudly: "Everyone, everyone already knows the matter, Langfang City was lost, and Zhang Feng's tens of thousands of horses entered Langfang City. ”

A Tartar general was full of worry and said anxiously: "Master, in this way, we must strengthen the defense of Beijing City and prevent Zhang Feng's men and horses from attacking Beijing City." ”

Dolgon nodded, and then said, "Judging from the current situation, Zhang Feng's purpose is to attack Beijing City. ”

As soon as Dolgon's words fell, the whole hall was full of discussion. Many Tartars said, "How good is this, how is it good!" ”

Dolgon's face was gloomy, his brows furrowed, and after coughing, the discussion subsided, and another Tartar general said: "Master, we only have 100,000 horses in Beijing City, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to hold Beijing City, I suggest that we consider evacuating Beijing City." ”

In the city of Beijing, the Tartars not only hoarded a large amount of property, such as a large amount of gold and silver that had been melted into silver plates or gold plates, as well as a lot of jewelry, calligraphy and paintings that had been plundered and looted, in addition, especially important were the families of many high-ranking Tartars.

If Beijing really can't hold it, the first thing to consider is to evacuate.

When the Tartar general said this, many people's faces darkened, and even Dolgon let out a long sigh, not thinking that he would have to evacuate after only a few months in the city of Beijing.

Next, the Tartars in the full hall began to discuss matters such as how to defend the city and how to evacuate, and even issued an urgent order, ordering the Tartars who were pursuing Li Zicheng to return to Beijing.

The Tartars didn't know, even Dolgon didn't know, it was difficult for him to go back, this time, Zhang Feng came to the bottom of the kettle to draw salary, cutting off the way for the Tartars to go back.

Qinhuangdao.

There is the world's first Xiongguan Shanhaiguan, the Ming Dynasty in order to resist the Tartars outside the pass, built a large number of fortifications here, there are strong Shanhaiguan City, there are tall city walls, if the Tartars want to go out of the customs, they must pass through here.

And today, a huge team has appeared here, in the western suburbs of Qinhuangdao, on the road to Shanhaiguan, a team is marching neatly, this team has no end in sight, wearing army green uniforms, wearing steel helmets, and carrying muskets.

This is the first independent division, Zong Dechao did not ride a horse, but also on foot, walking with the soldiers, Zong Dechao said loudly: "From now on, there is no need to conceal your whereabouts anymore, pass my order, speed up the march, run forward, target Shanhaiguan!" ”

The 1st Independent Division, the 2nd Independent Division, quietly set out from Tianjin Wei a few days ago, marched covertly along the way, marched more than 300 kilometers in a few days, and finally arrived at Qinhuangdao, which was about to reach Shanhaiguan.

Until now, the Tartars have not found the whereabouts of these two teams, on the one hand, the main forces of the Tartars are in Beijing, Langfang, and other places are basically empty, and even Tangshan does not have many Tartars.

On the other hand, the Tartars never imagined that Zhang Feng dared to fight Shanhaiguan, so the Tartars did not guard against this, so Zong Dechao led two divisions, nearly 40,000 people, after several days of arduous marching, finally arrived at Qinhuangdao, and will soon arrive at Shanhaiguan.

In the afternoon.

The vanguard of the 1st Independent Division arrived outside the Shanhaiguan City, and as soon as everyone came, without saying a word, they immediately began to attack the city, and dense gunfire soon rang out in this area.

As more and more soldiers arrived, the siege was fierce, and even the 70mm artillery was used, and all night, by the next morning, the gunfire gradually stopped, and everyone had taken Shanhaiguan.

Next, everyone's task is to firmly guard here, not only to control Shanhaiguan, but also to control the Great Wall of Shanhaiguan, so that the Tartars cannot return to the outside of the customs.

In the early morning, a round of morning sun rose from the sea, and black smoke was still rising everywhere in Shanhaiguan, and there were corpses everywhere, but at this time, the battle was over, and the soldiers were cleaning up the battlefield.

Upstairs in Shanhaiguan City, Zong Dechao personally took a carrier pigeon from a guard next to him, and released the carrier pigeon with his own hands, and the carrier pigeon soared into the sky and flew towards Tianjin Wei.

Tianjin Wei.

The hall of the headquarters was busy, many staff officers came in and out, Zhang Feng also had a straight face, the big war was coming, and Zhang Feng did not dare to take it lightly.

Since this morning, the three major infantry divisions, the 1st Infantry Division, the 2nd Infantry Division, and Shi Kefa's 11th Infantry Division have been marching towards Beijing.

For the sake of safety, another infantry division was on its way to the port of Tientsin, taking a transport ship and by sea, and in about three or four days.

In addition, along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, by water, two infantry divisions are coming, in addition to these, by land, as early as 20 days ago, several infantry divisions have set off from Nanzhili, and now at this time, it should have entered Henan, or Shandong.

This time, Zhang Feng mobilized more than a dozen infantry divisions, and only a few infantry divisions remained in Nanzhili, and the rest of the divisions, either by sea, by water, or by land, all marched towards the city of Beijing.

On the large map in the headquarters hall, there are many red arrows, many arrows start from Nanzhili and go all the way north, these arrows represent the infantry divisions, and represent the approximate position of the infantry divisions now.

Zhang Feng was looking at the big map, and a staff officer walked in quickly with a happy face, and reported loudly: "Commander-in-chief, Commander Zong sent a message from Shanhaiguan that they have successfully taken Shanhaiguan in one fell swoop. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Feng became happy and said loudly: "Okay, this is really good news!" ”

In the whole hall, everyone cheered happily, as the staff officers of the headquarters, everyone clearly knew the battle plan, and also knew that the most crucial step in this huge battle plan was whether or not the Shanhaiguan Pass could be successfully taken.

As long as the Shanhaiguan Pass is taken, there will be a trend of closing the door and beating the dogs, and hundreds of thousands of Tartars will be locked up in the pass, and the Tartars will not want to escape outside the pass easily.

Although the Ming Dynasty has perished, but it built a perfect defense system can be fully utilized, the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty, absolutely incomparable in any era, from Shanhaiguan in the east, to Jiayuguan in the west, and now has taken Shanhaiguan, the whole strategy is half successful.

"Okay, great!"

Zhang Feng was also so happy that he applauded repeatedly, and then said loudly: "Pass my order, order the 1st Infantry Division, the 2nd Infantry Division, and the 11th Infantry Division to quickly complete the encirclement of Beijing City, but remember, only encircle, not fight." ”

Surround but not fight, this is naturally Zhang Feng's strategy.

The order was soon issued from the Tianjin Wei and transmitted to the three infantry divisions through carrier pigeons. After receiving the order, the three major infantry divisions also increased their pace.

Beijing.

Early in the morning, in the main hall, the Tartars were discussing again, because the soldiers had already approached the city and gradually completed the siege of Beijing.

Dolgon knew that Zhang Feng would definitely attack the city of Beijing, but he never thought that everything would come so quickly, and in such a short period of time, the entire outside of Beijing would be full of soldiers.

A Tartar military general said: "Master, the entire outside of the city is full of Zhang Feng's men and horses, and it is estimated that there are at least fifty or sixty thousand, all firearms, I am afraid of ......."

The Tartar generals meant that they were afraid that the city of Beijing would be difficult to hold, but they didn't dare to say it, for fear of shaking the hearts of the army, and swallowed back the words in their mouths.

Dolgon's face was gloomy, and he said slowly, "Has the news been sent?" ”

A Tartar general replied: "Master, the news has been sent out, and we order our armies from all walks of life to stop the pursuit of the Dashun army and return to Beijing as soon as possible." ”

The news has been sent out, and many Tartars are a little relieved, after all, the Tartars have hundreds of thousands of troops, just outside, not in Beijing, if they rush to aid Beijing, it is estimated that after ten days and half a month, many soldiers and horses can rush back, especially those Manchu iron cavalry with strong mobility.

"At present, our first priority is to wait for reinforcements, hold on to the city of Beijing, and wait for our reinforcements to arrive. ”

It can be seen that Dolgon did not dare to act rashly, but was ready to rely on the strong walls of Beijing City to hold on, waiting for his hundreds of thousands of troops outside to come back.

This happened to be in line with Zhang Feng's intentions, although three infantry divisions arrived in Beijing, Zhang Feng was not in a hurry to attack, and was ready to wait a little longer, waiting for the infantry divisions to arrive in Beijing one after another.

This is estimated to be a strategic Armageddon.

Dolgon was about to make a series of military deployments, and suddenly, a Tartar entered the main hall in a panic and said loudly: "Master, it's not good, Shanhaiguan is lost." ”

"What!"

In the main hall, many Tartars were stunned, and the whole hall was quiet, and all the Tartars seemed to be hit by the acupoint, and they collectively remained motionless.

Dolgon was the same, a burst of consternation, this was not a little foreshadowing, how could Shanhaiguan say that it was lost, how could it be.

The tartar briefly explained the situation, Dolgon's face sank, Dolgon knew that he had underestimated Zhang Feng again, this time, Zhang Feng hit Dolgon's seven inches at once, almost a fatal blow.

Dolgon's face was gloomy, he thought for a long time, his heart was ruthless, and he thought in his heart, Lao Tzu's retreat is broken, this time, either you die, or I live.

Dolgon knows that in the current situation, it is almost impossible to retreat, because Zhang Feng has formed a situation of closing the door and fighting dogs, and now in this situation, there can only be a strategic showdown, a game will be won or lost, if Dolgon himself wins, then he can win the world, if he loses, then there is almost no way out, and it will definitely go to the end.

Obviously, Zhang Feng's strategic intention is also very clear, that is, to eat Dolgon in one fell swoop and completely defeat the Manchu Qing, as long as the Manchu Tartars are cleaned up, then Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, Zuo Liangyu, etc. will not be in trouble, and they will definitely be easily pacified.

Needless to say, Li Zicheng is still difficult to say whether there are 100,000 horses at this time, Zhang Xianzhong's strength is not good, and Zuo Liangyu is not to mention.

Zhang Feng's strategic intention was to clean up the Qing Dynasty, quickly pacify the country, establish a new China, realize his ideals, and lead the Chinese nation to the top of the world.

Zhang Feng really has this self-confidence and confidence, because Zhang Feng is a traverser, with hundreds of years of knowledge, and Zhang Feng himself also has high attainments in engineering technology, after the unification of the country, it will take ten or twenty years to enhance the national strength, realize the first industrial revolution, let the people live and work in peace and contentment, and let the four seas come to the court, which is completely possible.

The three major infantry divisions surrounded the city of Beijing, and everyone was not in a hurry to attack, on the one hand, they were preparing to encircle the point and send reinforcements, and on the other hand, they were waiting for the arrival of the rest of the divisions.

Neither side was in a hurry to attack, and time passed day by day......

The common people have always been sensitive and afraid of war, as the soldiers came to the city, the people of Beijing City began to panic, but gradually settled down, and even many people expected that the soldiers outside the city would enter the city earlier and drive away the Tartars earlier.

In the capital, a restaurant.

Compared with before, because of the war, this restaurant, like other restaurants, has a lot of bad business and is a lot deserted, but now it is the meal, it is the time to eat at noon, and there are still some diners.

Many diners are chatting and discussing while eating, and the topic of discussion is naturally the big war that may occur next.

Among them, there was a table of diners, the loudest, a person wearing a long robe, who looked like a scholar, said excitedly: "Do you know, outside the city is the army of the Horse Lord, and the Horse Lord has led tens of thousands of troops to fight back, and these damn Tartars are finished." ”

"Well, I've also heard that outside the city is the new army of the Horse Master, there are tens of thousands of people, and the Tartars are scared to death, the city gate is closed, and they are guarding the city with fear."

"If only the army of the horse master could come in earlier."

"yes, hopefully get in sooner and get rid of these damn Tartars sooner."

“……”

The people of Beijing City, from the panic at the beginning to the current expectations, everyone hopes that Zhang Feng's troops will recover Beijing City as soon as possible and drive away the Tartars as soon as possible.
