Eighty pounds of artillery shells loaded with 12 catties of cotton gunpowder were like a giant hammer of the gods, easily smashing the last hope of the Qing army. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Before Yinchu in Taiyuan City got the news like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, the Third Cavalry Brigade and the Ninth Infantry Brigade of the Ming Army from the north of Juyong Pass passed through Badaling with countless fragmented corpses of the Qing army, breaking through the military demarcation line of the Ming and Qing dynasties that had been maintained for many years, and officially embarked on the journey out of the fortress.

However, this day is destined to be the darkest day for Yinchu.

Because on the same day, the Ming army on the Jingcheng Road also bombarded Niangzi Pass and Guguan with heavy rocket artillery respectively, and then also stepped on those fragmented corpses of the Qing army through this choke point, like the torrent of two embankments almost in a blink of an eye to flood Pingding City, poor 10,000 Qing troops and Russian mercenaries who escaped from Niangzi Pass and Guguan, and finally all were surrounded in the city, and then the murderous Ming army used Du Qi again......

There's not much left to say.

This military fortress, where the inhabitants had fled for a long time, was directly turned into the grave of the Qing army and Russian mercenaries, and all 10,000 people were smoked to death in it.

But this is not the most terrifying, after all, Taihang Mountain is very wide, even if he loses this barrier, he will not lose hope, and he still has enough troops in his hands, he still has the strength to support it, but when the sun rises the next day, another bad news completely turns his sky gray.

The Ming army broke through the Cold Spring Pass.

"What did you say?"

Yin Zhen collapsed and yelled at Nalan Xu's collar.

He was really devastated.

Where is Cold Spring Locked?

It was the choke point of his southern line.

The gap between the eastern foot of Luliang Mountain and the western foot of Taiyue Mountain, the Fen River washed out to form the famous strategic road Bird Mouse Valley, which is also the last barrier for him to defend the Ming army on the southern front, where he deployed a total of 15,000 elite troops to block the Ming army, of course, these are not important, the important thing is that Lengquan Pass is the north entrance of the Bird Mouse Valley, this is the last pass of the defense line! How did the Ming army attacking from the southern front break through Lengquan Pass at once, where did the Yin Di Pass, Gaobiling, and Lingshi County in front go? When was it breached? Why didn't anyone tell me?

"Your Majesty, it's not the thief army of the southern front, it's the thief army of Hongkou."

Nalan said in a panic: "Two battalions of the 17th Brigade of the Thief Army, plus the Liaozhou garrison, and tens of thousands of rebellious people from Pingyao, Jiexiu, Xiaoyi and other places, raided Lengquan Pass from the north at night, and the defenders were caught off guard and the thief army poisoned the whole army. ”

"Poof!"

Yin Zhen directly spurted out a mouthful of blood, and then collapsed to the ground as if he had been pumped to the bone.

He's done.

Although the Ming army on the eastern front broke through Niangzi Pass and Pingding City, he still had hope of maneuvering with the Ming army in the mountains east of Shouyang by rushing to reinforce 5,000 Russian mercenaries and 5,000 Manchu-Mongolian allied troops. The Ming army that entered from Zihongkou was not worried, because the difficulty of material transportation from that road was not enough to support them to attack a fortified city like Taiyuan, but the road of the Sparrow Mouse Valley was not the same, this is the main road in Jinzhong and Jinnan, and the loss of Lengquan Pass meant that the defenders of the Sparrow Mouse Valley were cut off, and the Ming army attacked the army that had lost its logistics supply in a few days before it was destroyed. After the road was opened, the Ming army would continue to pour into Jinzhong, and then through the vast plains to Taiyuan, as they had done in many places, bombarding Taiyuan with heavy artillery.

"God will kill me!"

He lay in Nalan Xu's arms, trembling up to the sky and screaming sorrowfully!

"Your Majesty, let's go quickly, the thief army has already cleared the source, let's leave before they arrive in Taiyuan, otherwise it will be too late for us to leave when they arrive!"

Nalan said.

Let's go, run away!

Yinfu suddenly came to his senses, and made a decision while wiping the blood from his mouth.

At this time, there was indeed no other choice but to run, but there could be no hesitation, his father was stripped of his skin by Yang Feng because he was often not cool enough to run, so he immediately issued an order to Xing Datong, and then packed up and escaped from Taiyuan City as quickly as possible to embark on the road of escape. He actually doesn't have a few people under his command now, his total army of 80,000, plus the 10,000 people just sent to reinforce the eastern front, 30,000 actually filled in Jingcheng Road, and the southern line of the Bird Mouse Valley 15,000, 15,000 in Badaling, 5,000 in Bauhinia Pass and Baoma Pass, and there are still 15,000 left......

He didn't know how many more he had.

This ten thousand five was to counterattack Zihongkou, but in Zihongkou suffered heavy losses, and then was dispersed by the Ming cavalry and the rebellious people, in fact, it has been completely disrupted in the Jinzhong Basin, and the ghost only knows how many there are, even their current position, in fact, he doesn't know, especially after the people of Yuci have also rebelled, his current control is basically out of Taiyuan City.

As for the end of these people......

How can he have the time to think about these messy things now, his father and mother will marry each and take care of each other!

Standing outside Taiyuan City, he looked back at the great rivers and mountains behind him with infinite affection, once he was also ambitious, full of enthusiasm and pride to clean up the old mountains and rivers to be the lord of the century-old Zhongxing, once he also dreamed of sweeping the demon atmosphere and breaking the demon into thousands of pieces to comfort his father and dead brother, but all this suddenly came to naught, and in a blink of an eye he became a lost dog, and there was only ...... left around him

He looked at the captain of the guard with more than 2,000 people around him and sighed.

"Let's go!"

He said through gritted teeth.

Immediately after he urged the war horse to go north along the road to Xinzhou, his goal was to go north to Xuanhua, at this time he did not know that the Ming army had broken through Badaling, whether it was the army of the southern line or the eastern front, he no longer counted on it, his only hope now is to be able to go to Xuanhua and then withdraw the 15,000 defenders of Badaling, to Datong to protect the old and weak women and children of the banner people there to the north, and have fled to Kulen. Anyway, with his current strength, all he can do is escape, the farther away the better, if Kulen can't do it, he will continue to flee to the territory of the Russians, and even further west to Siberia, to accept the protection of the Russian emperor.

Maybe you can still retain the blood of the flag-bearers.

"Why, why exactly?"

Suddenly, he felt an irrepressible wave of grief and anger welling up in his heart, looking up at the sky at a forty-five degree angle like a horse sect leader, and shouting a roar from the heart.

"Whoosh!"

A sound of wind sounded in my ears.

He subconsciously turned his head, and a sharp arrow slashed against his cheek.

Almost at the same time, the same sound sounded intensively, from the dense forest on their right side of the sharp arrows continued to fly out, the Qing army that was caught off guard was hit by the arrows one after another, and the screams continued to sound, some of the quick reactions hurriedly took off their carbines and fired at the direction of the sharp arrows, but at this time, hundreds of bandits in tattered clothes rushed out of the dense forest at once, and fell down one after another in the bullets fired by the Qing army, but those who did not fall still roared and rushed over, and the Qing army that had no time to reload immediately pulled out their sabers and rushed forward.

"Your Majesty, leave them alone and go!"

Nalan shouted.

Yinchu immediately came to his senses, this kind of bandit is just for revenge, he ruled this area during the rampant conquest, those Han people close to the Ming army-controlled area have chosen to go south, but north of Taiyuan because of the distance problem, those people are more bandits. Now in this case, there is nothing strange about killing out to take revenge, cleaning them up is a trivial matter, but because of the delay in cleaning them up and being caught up by the Ming army, it will be troublesome, he immediately left off his subordinates who were fighting with the bandits and then urged the horse to speed up.

But of the 2,000-strong team, there were less than 1,800 left.

However, this was only the beginning of their nightmare.

In order to support his huge army, especially those Russian mercenaries, he can only desperately squeeze the Han people, and his territory is like this, you can imagine what the people here have been squeezed into by him. The same hatred for him has also accumulated to the extreme, otherwise there would not have been a Ming army as soon as it came in, and immediately the common people rose up to rebel against him, if he was strong enough, of course the people along the way would not dare to do it, but he took two thousand people, then it was completely looking for death.

On the next road, all kinds of attacks continue to occur, shooting cold arrows, shooting black guns, and even digging traps for them, poor Emperor Qianlong, His Majesty walked the fewer people around him, when he passed through Yangqu County, he was almost blocked in the city by the people, fortunately, he finally killed in a desperate bloody battle, but there were five hundred Qing troops who could never go, and what was even more tragic was that their ammunition was basically exhausted, and the only thing that could protect them on the long road was the sabre.

"These Diao people!"

He said indignantly.

Behind him is a small village, thousands of ordinary people are carrying hoes and shovels to beat dozens of Qing troops, these Qing troops are behind the team, no one expected that the people who were watching the excitement on both sides of the line, in the blink of an eye, became a violent beast, only the Qing army with a saber was surrounded by so many people, and there was only a dead end. But now Yinchu can only scold a few words, although as long as he turns around and goes back, it will take less than a quarter of an hour to kill all these Diao people, but he can't guarantee that this quarter of an hour's delay will not cost him his life.

Who knows where the cavalry Ming army behind is now.

He could only look at it silently, and then turned his head and left amid the cries for help from those Qing soldiers.

"Your Majesty, there is Xinzhou City in front."

Nalan said cautiously.

Does he mean that we should go into the city or not? The terrifying experience of Yangqu County is still in his mind.

"Get around."

Yinzhen said without hesitation.

He didn't want to repeat the tragedy of Yangqu County, he now knew the terrifying lethality of the people after they turned into Bao Min.

Little did he know, however, that it was no longer enough to go around the past. (To be continued.) )
