Chapter 127: Heroic Spirit, Retreat
The knife was a terrible wound to Lu. When they arrived, the craftsmen of Shunxiangbao had been inspected and there were no substandard products. At this time, the Ming army generally implemented fixed gunpowder, and there were detailed regulations on how much sub-powder each type of gun was loaded, and only the operation specifications were played, and excessive gunpowder was not added. There is no need to worry about blowing up.
In addition, these guns only fired two rounds of ammunition in total, and there was no danger of overfiring the gun chamber overheating.
There are many tiger squat cannons in the city head of Shunxiang Fort, after the first round of salvo fire, even if it takes three or four minutes for these tiger squat cannons to be loaded afterwards, they can't withstand the number of tiger squat cannons in the city, these tiger squat cannons loaded with ammunition in the second round, each time two or three are aimed at the dense place outside the city to bombard, more than a dozen tiger squat cannons, Wu Xu can use it until the end of the battle.
Through the battles of these days, Wang Dou also believes that large and medium-sized artillery is not very useful in battle, and it is better to scare people than to fight people.
Most of the artillery in this era is used to break up the opponent's dense formation, but unfortunately the Qing soldiers' formation has never been dense, but the tiger squat cannon melee combat is powerful, after the war, they should vigorously display the tiger squat cannon this kind of melee small artillery.
Seeing that the offensive of the Qing soldiers outside the city stopped, and all the generals and officers looked down at the city one after another, Han Zhong stood beside Wang Dou, and he opened his mouth and shouted: "What the hell are those godchild soldiers doing, why did they stop?" ”
His face showed joy: "Could it be that Lezi is going to retire?" ”
Lin Daofu beside him frowned and said, "I'm afraid it's not that simple." ”
Outside the city, the trumpets of the Qing soldiers sounded one after another. Suddenly, I heard the sound of crying, but it was a large group of Ming people who were driven towards the city by the Qing soldiers, they had hundreds of people, mostly women and children, carrying grass, trees, bricks and stones, as well as cloth bags full of soil and other things, but they were driven forward.
They stumbled in, and a large group of Qing soldiers dodged behind them.
Those women and children came forward, and they cried to the Shunxiang army in the city: "The military masters in the city are all villagers and neighbors, please don't fire cannons and arrows." ”
Listening to their familiar local accent of Baoanzhou, the Shunxiang army on the head of the city was silent, and everyone was looking at Wang Dou's city tower! They made up their minds to welcome the army of Shunxiang Fort in Yingchuan and go farther.
And the people of the city wept bitterly. The Ming army in the city looked resolute, they all knew their fate, and the suffering of the troubled times was indescribable. In the midst of crying, I suddenly heard the old man in the city shouting: "The fathers and elders of the township are all dead, and they are fighting with the light sons." ”
He laughed loudly: "The old man can still enjoy the incense sacrifice during his lifetime, and the heart and liver of Le Zibing are sacrificed, it is worth it." ”
He held up a brick in his hand and shouted heartbreakingly: "Folks, kill your godson!" ”
He led the charge behind him, and the women and children beside him, all of whom were also screaming hoarsely, rushed after him.
They had no weapons, so they used their fists. Teeth fight with the Qing soldiers.
In the end, they all died, when they died. Their faces were full of relaxed expressions, the suffering of the world. They were finally freed.
After the war, Wang Dou built a tomb for these people, and a temple was set up next to it, and the incense was vigorous.
There are rumors. Send officials to sacrifice in plain clothes.
Abatai heard the shouts of Han Zhong at the head of the city. Originally, he was very angry, but when he saw what the people in the city did, he couldn't help but exclaim: "The people in this place are so fierce!" ”
Next to him, the Tumut Right Banner Gushan Ezhen Omu Buchuhuer, and the Tumut Left Banner Gurang Ezhen Shanba were all persuaded to retreat, and the last few Jialazhangjing with white flags also joined the ranks of the bitter persuasion, and they all said categorically: "If you continue to attack, even if you attack the city, at least a thousand warriors will die, and the Ming army in the place will fight resolutely, and attacking the city is not equivalent to capturing the city." To bring the soldiers and civilians in the fort to their knees, maybe another thousand more people will die! ”
"If 2,000 people died, would the self-flags still be there?"
"Such a castle has no oil and water. Is something going on?
The horsemen rushed forward, and they shouted from afar: "The king of Wuying County has an order, spare Bel Abatai, and withdraw from the territory of the security guard,"
"My Qing soldiers have captured Changping, Juyong and other places in the Ming Kingdom, and all the troops and horses on my West Road have entered the pass, and the troops of the Hedong Road have captured the land of Jinggi in the Ming Kingdom."
At the beginning of July of the ninth year of Chongzhen, the Qing soldiers entered the army. All the way to the Dushi Pass, all the way to the Xifeng Pass.
The Qing soldiers entered the Xifeng Pass, and the Ming Patrol Pass Imperial History Wang Zhaokun stirred the crowd to go to the palace, lost the enemy, and retired to Changping. On the 10th, Changping was besieged, Wang Fengkun and Wang Xizhong, the eunuch guarding the tomb, Chao Buchang, the chief soldier Chao Buchang, Wang Yigui, Zhao Yue, the head of the household department, and Wang Yuzuo, the governor of Baoding, were sentenced to guard the palace.
On the morning of the 16th, Juyong Pass was breached from the inside. On the evening of the 16th, Changping 2,000 Yan Mongol soldiers as an internal response, led the Qing soldiers into the city, patrolled the imperial history Wang Zhaokun was killed, and at the same time died in battle, as well as Wang Yigui, the head of the household department, and Wang Yuzuo was sentenced in Baoding. Wang Xizhong, the eunuch guarding the tomb, Hu Weizhong, the judge, Guo Yong, Xuezheng Xie Huailiang, the guide time, and the garrison Xianzhenji and others.
The general soldier's nest did not prosper, and the Qing soldiers burned the tomb of Tianshou Mountain.
While he was preparing to join the Eastern Route Army, he also urgently sent envoys on the 16th to send an order to Abatai, Yanguli and others who were plundering everywhere, so that they could lead the army to Yanqing Prefecture to meet with him, and the soldiers and horses of the Eastern Route Army were ready to join forces to plunder the rich land of Gyeonggi in the Ming Dynasty according to the strategy ahead of the battle.
After hearing the messenger's message, Abatai was disappointed, and at the same time his heart was secretly relieved
Gas.
The generals beside him were very happy, and they could finally withdraw justifiably.
Abatai looked at the beaming generals beside him for a while, and he raised his voice and said, "Order, retreat!" ”
