Kong Youde got up early in Tongzhou City, he almost didn't sleep all night last night, and he always felt panicked, and his two eyelids kept jumping.

Yesterday afternoon, Kong Youde brought a few of his henchmen over and talked secretly for a long time, and no one knew what they talked about, only that after these people went back, they found some people to explain carefully.

In fact, Kong Youde was already convinced of the news he heard a few days ago, but he really hadn't thought about what to do.

He also thought about surrendering to the National Defense Army like Wu Sangui, but he also compared himself with Wu Sangui, although Wu Sangui said that he led the Qing soldiers into the customs, but he did not explicitly betray the Ming Dynasty, and Wu Sangui still has a North America to go to after surrendering to the National Defense Force, after surrendering to the National Defense Force, not to mention whether the National Defense Army can accept his surrender, even if he accepts, he does not know how big China is, where is his own place.

But let himself be martyred for the Manchu court, but Kong Youde resolutely refused, the little emperor himself went to Mongolia, why let him stay and die?

If he could occupy a place and become a king in troubled times, it would be good to be a warlord in the world, but now although the war is still raging, Kong Youde knows that this war will not last long, and he has no chance to become a king at all.

But in any case, it would be absolutely unacceptable to let Kong Youde stay in Tongzhou and fight with the most elite Seventh Division of the National Defense Force.

Yesterday afternoon, Kong Youde gathered a group of henchmen to discuss how to escape from the big powder keg of Beijing, and everyone's opinion was to run towards Liaodong, and it was a while to be able to hide.

There is no long-term solution, this is the reason why Kong Youde can't sleep all night, in fact, there are many Hanchen in Beijing who calculate their future fate like Kong Youde, and Feng Quan is one of them.

Feng Quan felt bad when Dolgon agreed to release the former Southern Ming envoy Zuo Maodi, and in the first year of Shunzhi, Dolgon listened to his suggestion and sent people to recover the Ming envoy from a hundred miles away, and now these people have been released. Once the Wehrmacht broke through the city of Beijing, Feng Quan knew what fate awaited him.

Feng Quan also knew that the little emperor had fled, and Dolgon was dead. Duoduo's practice of relying on murder and gagging is undoubtedly an attempt to cover up for them, Hanchen, who are better than monkeys.

Kong Youde still has soldiers and generals in his hands, and Feng Quan's hands are quite powerful in addition to their mouths and pens. There was really no plan available, Feng Quan and most of Feng Quan chose to resign themselves to fate in the capital.

But they still have one hope, that is, Prince Yu Duoduo can repel the Wehrmacht, so that although the Manchu court cannot last long, it can always be maintained, and it can also give them a little time to think about the way out in the future.

Rao was that they were better than monkeys, but they didn't expect that Duoduo was completely ready to escape from Beijing City at this time. Only after Turai returns and convenes his generals to discuss, he will start the breakout operation.

According to Duoduo's idea, it is necessary to start breaking through early this morning, as a military general, Duoduo feels that only in the early hours of the morning will he be surprised, but Fan Wencheng does not think so, he thinks that everyone can think of it, and the Wehrmacht will definitely be able to think of it, and he feels that if he chooses to break through in the afternoon. That was when the Wehrmacht was at its lax.

Perhaps it was Dolgon's death that made Dordor feel helpless to rely on, and Fan Wencheng was Dorgon's most trusted Hanchen. Duoduo chose to listen to Fan Wencheng's advice this time, and since Turai had not reported the situation to the present, they also needed time to prepare, so the breakthrough time was chosen after noon this afternoon.

The artillery preparation of the Seventh Division not only broke the tranquility of the early morning, but also woke Kong Youde from his contemplation, and Kong Youde, who had been in battle for a long time, knew. This is the beginning of the Wehrmacht's offensive.

There is not much time left for Kong Youde to make a decision, he must make a decision within half a day, and half a day is the time for Kong Youde to estimate that the Zhangjiawan position can hold out.

Although Kong Youde was conservative enough, he still overestimated the time that the Qing troops in Zhangjiawan would be able to defend.

Even Zuo Maodi didn't expect the Seventh Division to break through the Qing army's defense line so quickly, and Luo Jian accompanied him to stand on a high slope. also took a telescope to him so that he could see clearly enough.

Zuo Maodi held a telescope and looked carefully at the Qing army's position, but the position that had just been covered by artillery fire was covered with dust, and he couldn't see anything.

Zuo Maodi slowly moved his binoculars to look closer, and he saw that the soldiers of the Seventh Division were alternately covering the positions of the Qing soldiers rushing towards the Qing soldiers, but there was no gunfire on the Qing soldiers' positions on the opposite side. When the soldiers of the 7th Division were only 20 meters away from the trenches, sporadic gunfire rang out from the Qing troops' positions.

Then the crisp gunfire of the soldiers of the 7th Division also rang out, and the dull gunfire on the opposite side soon became less.

The sky was getting brighter and brighter, and Zuo Maodi could see more and more clearly, and he clearly saw that many soldiers took out grenades from their pockets and opened the ring and began to throw them into the trenches of the Qing soldiers.

He has always called this thing "Heaven-shaking Thunder", it was Wang Qiang who corrected it for several days before he corrected it, he didn't expect this thing to be like a small cannon, and it was so loud.

Then Zuo Maodi saw that the soldiers of the Seventh Division had crossed the trenches of the Qing soldiers and pursued them in depth, and the Qing soldiers who fled in front were either knocked down on the road, or knelt on the side of the road and raised their muskets.

Not long after the Qing army's defense line was broken through, Zuo Maodi felt the earth trembling from behind him, he knew that this was the cavalry brigade starting to attack, and the sound of eight thousand war horses stepping on the land was extremely shocking, but at this time Zuo Maodi felt that this sound sounded so wonderful.

"Well, less than half an hour, not bad." Luo Jian raised his hand and looked at his watch, turned to Zuo Maodi and said.

Zuo Maodi also took out a pocket watch from his pocket and looked at it, this pocket watch was given to him by Luo Jian, and was collected by Zuo Maodi as a treasure.

"Xinghua, you said it was okay?" Carefully putting away the pocket watch, Zuo Maodi raised his head and asked Luo Jian.

"Ah, I said their tactical moves will be able to be seen." Luo Jian said.

"You, Xinghua, I didn't say you, the world's strong army is nothing more than that, you don't have to be greedy."

Zuo Maodi's words made Luo Jian laugh, in fact, Luo Jian also knew that in this time and space, in addition to the combat effectiveness of the Marine Corps that can compete with the Seventh Division, the whole world is afraid that the Seventh Division is really the strongest army.

"Mr. Zuo, let's go too. Follow up and see what position the Seventh Division can attack today. After Luo Jian finished speaking, he took the lead and walked down the high slope, and Suozhu personally led the horse to meet him.

The 5,000 defending Qing troops in Zhangjiawan were solved by the Seventh Division and the Cavalry Brigade within half an hour, and Zhao Quan couldn't wait to lead the cavalry brigade upstream, rushing towards the Bali Bridge.

Defending at Bali Bridge was more than 5,000 cavalry of the Qing army, which had been reconnoitred a long time ago, otherwise Zhao Quan would not have let the cavalry attack the position defended by the new Qing army. Even the cavalry may not be able to please the musketeers hidden in the trenches.

Zhangjiawan is still more than ten miles away from Bali Bridge, but the route has long been reconnoitred, the Seventh Division did not have time to clean up the battlefield, only a company was left to guard thousands of prisoners, and the large army marched directly towards Tongzhou without stopping, and they also had to run more than ten miles to reach Tongzhou.

"Wang Qiang, this kid wants to sweep away all the Qing soldiers in the east of Beijing today?" Luo Jian saw the movements of the Seventh Division, and said to Zuo Maodi, who was beside him, with some surprise.

"Good! With these cannons. Kong Youde is not afraid of either! It's good to kill Kong Youde today. Zuo Maodi, who had never seen this kind of warfare, was extremely interested, pulling the reins with one hand and pointing at the artillerymen who were marching rapidly on the road with the other.

When the Qing scouts found the vanguard of the Seventh Division outside Tongzhou City, Kong Youde was discussing the escape route in the mansion and arranging the carrying of grain and grass materials. The scout's report startled Kong Youde and got up from his seat, knowing that Zhangjiawan had arranged for 5,000 new troops, and more than a dozen artillery pieces that could fire flowering shells belonged to them.

calculated half an hour into half a day, and Kong Youde, who had calculated all his life, finally paid the price for his wrong calculation. The price was so heavy that he had no chance to regret it.

When Wang Qiang personally led the Seventh Division to the city of Tongzhou. It was already past seven o'clock in the morning, the early morning sun shone on Tongzhou City, and the whole city turned golden, Wang Qiang felt that he was not a city in front of him, but a golden mountain.

I have to say that Wang Qiang's luck is really good, if Kong Youde is not ready to escape. Maybe the situation is not the same, if the Seventh Division wants to capture the city of Tongzhou guarded by the 30,000 Qing soldiers and the new army, it will definitely take a lot of trouble.

Now the situation is completely different, the Qing soldiers all over the city are preparing to run away, and there are almost no people on the city walls. The artillery on the city wall was also taken off the city wall by Kong Youde, and Kong Youde, who was born as an artilleryman, was reluctant to throw down these new artillery that could open flower shells.

"Just blast me out!" Wang Qiang ordered the artillery to set up several cannons and aimed them directly at the west gate of Tongzhou.

The first regiment is still serving as the main attack of the West Gate, and the second, third and fourth regiments have been outflanked from the north and south sides of Tongzhou, and Wang Qiang never wants to let go of Kong Youde this time.

Luo Jian and Zuo Maodi led the guards to a high slope more than two miles away from the Bali Bridge, although Zuo Maodi really wanted to see how the Seventh Division captured Tongzhou City, but Luo Jian was more interested in whether the current cavalry brigade could compete with the Qing cavalry, and Zuo Maodi had to accompany Luo Jian to the Bali Bridge.

The terrain on the south side of the Bali Bridge is very open, which is a good battlefield for the cavalry to fight a decisive battle, and the cavalry brigade slowed down one mile away from the Bali Bridge, and the cavalry brigade began to slowly press towards the Bali Bridge.

Zuo Maodi picked up the binoculars hanging around his neck and looked ahead, and he had the impression that the cavalry of the Ming Dynasty army rarely had a team that could compete with the cavalry of the Qing army.

"Mr. Zuo, the predecessor of our cavalry brigade is Wu Sangui's Guanning Army, which has been intensively trained for more than half a year, and has fought against the Qing cavalry when he was in Cangzhou City, which is not falling behind at all." Luo Jian introduced Zuo Maodi.

"Huh? Guan Ningjun? Zuo knew that although he lost more and won less, only they could fight with the Tartar cavalry when he was the emperor. "Zuo Maodi is no stranger to the Guanning army, it can be seen that at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the army with a little combat effectiveness was generally very famous, like Qin Liangyu's white pole soldiers.

"Mr. Zuo, look, the Qing cavalry is also in formation!" Luo Jian pointed in the direction of Bali Bridge and said.

Although he has been in this time and space for five years, and he has experienced countless battles, Luo Jian has really never seen this kind of cavalry duel with tens of thousands of people, although he knows that the combat effectiveness of the cavalry brigade is far from being comparable to the Guanning Army back then, Luo Jian's heart is still hanging.
