Chapter 342: Please enter the urn

Duoduo didn't know that Leng Yundeng was now the commander of the Wehrmacht Cavalry Brigade, and if he knew this, he would definitely not have been delayed in Yongping Mansion for so long.

As the old man of the Guanning Army, Leng Yundeng has been following Wu Sangui to garrison Shanhaiguan, and he knows the terrain of Yongping Mansion well.

By the time the soldiers woke up the Duoduo chairs, the Wehrmacht had already arrived less than ten miles away from the city of Yongpingfu.

Hearing the scout's urgent report, Duoduo woke up from his dream, and he knew that once he was surrounded by the Wehrmacht in Yongping Mansion, he was afraid that he would never be able to escape again.

Without bothering to greet the officials of Yongping Mansion, Duoduo hurriedly called Turai and asked him to immediately gather a team and leave Yongping Mansion.

Many of the extremely tired Qing soldiers were also woken up from their sleep, and many of the Qing soldiers who hurriedly mounted their horses were a little shaky on their horses

Although the scouts reported to Ma Yingkui that Duoduo led the Qing troops had just left Yongping Mansion, Ma Yingkui still ordered the pursuing troops to stop and start camping five miles outside Yongping Mansion.

Ma Yingkui decided to let the troops rest for a night and continue the pursuit tomorrow, but after Leng Yundeng introduced the situation at Shanhaiguan to him, Ma Yingkui was a little big.

Although there is a mortar battalion to follow the support, but the mortar is used to kill and injure the living force, but there is no way to the strong city wall, and there are thousands of new troops in Duoduo are equipped with new muskets, once relying on the city wall to defend, the more than 10,000 cavalry led by himself is really helpless.

After discussing with Zhao Quan and Leng Yundeng, Ma Yingkui decided to take Yongping Mansion tomorrow first, and wait for the arrival of the follow-up infantry before attacking Shanhaiguan.

Dodor finally received the scout's report. said that the Wehrmacht pursued the troops stopped, which made Duoduo a little calm, and when he arrived at Shanhaiguan and entered the pass, it was his own world, and the emotions of gains and losses before seemed to be far away from Duoduo.

It's getting dark. The cavalry in front had already lit torches, and a fire dragon on the winding mountain road was heading towards Shanhaiguan.

The silhouette of the dark Shanhaiguan City in the distance could already be seen, and Duoduo's mood began to improve, and he began to talk to Tulai beside him, and the two began to plan what to do after arriving in Shengjing.

Unbeknownst to both Duoduo and Turai, there were hundreds of pairs of eyes staring at their ranks on either side of the trail, their clothes almost blending in with the darkness, and their hats woven of grass on their heads

By the time Duoduo led his army to the bluestone slab outside Shanhaiguan Gate, it was already eleven o'clock in the evening.

Turai ordered his own men to go and call the city. In fact, when the army arrived in front of Shanhaiguan, torches had been lit on the city tower, and many Qing soldiers stretched out their heads from the top of the city to look down, but the light was too dim to see the expressions on their faces.

"Prince Yu of the Great Qing Dynasty is leading a large army here, so hurry up and open the city gate!" Tourai's soldiers shouted for several minutes before the gates creaked open.

Turai was very unhappy in his heart, and his heart reported the name of King Yu. The city gate is still opening so slowly, and we must reprimand this Shanhaiguan guard later.

Although Duoduo was very unhappy with the neglect of the guards of Shanhaiguan. But Duoduo didn't want to pursue it now, what he wanted to do most now was to find a bed and sleep upside down, and he had been supported by the spirit of beating for days, and now that he was in a safe place, his mind relaxed, and his sleepiness came up uncontrollably.

Unhappy, Turai was the first to go to the city gate. Pointing at the Qing soldiers kneeling on both sides of the city gate with a horsewhip, he asked, "Where is the commander of your family?" ”

"My family commander drank a few more drinks at night, and now he's sleeping." The leading Qing soldier was about to speak, but another person stood up from the side and replied after taking Turai's words.

"Bastard! When has this been? How dare he be greedy? Hurry up and lead the way. "Turai didn't want to talk to the soldiers, he just wanted to find the commander of Shanhaiguan to settle accounts.

There weren't many torches lit on the walls. The light in the entire Shanhaiguan City is very bad. Several Qing soldiers led Turai and Duoduo into the outer city, and several hundred of Duoduo's personal soldiers followed.

By the light of the torches, Turai suddenly found that the soldier who had just answered his question was a little different from the other soldiers, and just when Turai was about to take a closer look at whether there was a rat tail on his head, he felt that there were a few of these Qing soldiers who were also a little different from other Qing soldiers, and Turai was about to stop his horse to take a closer look, when a Qing soldier suddenly shouted in Manchu: "They are the Wehrmacht, Yu Wangye run!" ”

"Oh no, we're in an ambush!" The shouts of the Qing soldier suddenly drove Duoduo's sleepiness out of the clouds.

"Quickly protect the prince and leave the city!" Turai reacted quickly, and when he heard the shout, he immediately turned his horse's head and prepared to rush towards the city gates.

This time, however, Duoduo and Tulai could not escape, because the Wehrmacht guarding Shanhaiguan was a marine.

Yan Yingyuan led the Marines to land at Liangfangkou (now Yingkou City) ten days earlier.

After landing, the marines marched to Liaoyang Mansion according to the original plan, what Yan Yingyuan did not expect was that the defense of the Qing soldiers in Liaodong was so weak, and there were only 2,000 old and weak soldiers in Liaoyang Mansion, and the marines occupied Liaoyang almost without much time, and the news of the occupation of Liaoyang was tightly sealed.

Knowing from Liaoyang that Shengjing's defense was almost the same as that of Liaoyang, Yan Yingyuan really had no interest in occupying Shengjing.

I wanted to come to Liaodong to "eat meat", but when I came, I found that there was only a little leftover left at this table, Yan Yingyuan really didn't expect it.

In fact, this is not surprising, since the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, its entire strategic focus began to shift to the Guannei, a large number of Manchus entered the Guannai one after another, these Manchus almost all brought their own Han slaves when they went to the Guannei, and it is reasonable that Liaodong fell here.

Previously, the Manchu court was afraid of several large warships built by the Nanjing government, and for a period of time it strengthened the defense of the coastal line of eastern Liaodong, for example, at Ningyuan City (now Xingcheng, Liaoning), where 30,000 Qing soldiers were stationed, in order to prevent the Wehrmacht from landing here.

However, since last year, on the way of the Wehrmacht to Beijing, the Qing troops have been defeated repeatedly, and Dolgon has to continuously transfer troops from outside the pass to defend the Beijing division, plus the fleet has been dealing with the Wuchang Qing troops in Hubei. The Qing court had almost forgotten that the Nanking government still had a large fleet, or that they simply could not take care of it.

But Shengjing, as the former capital of the Manchu court, always had to be occupied, Yan Yingyuan asked Li Hu, deputy captain of the Marine Corps, to take 2,000 men to attack Shengjing, and he quickly rushed to the Jinzhou line with 6,000 men.

The defense of the Qing soldiers on this line was still very weak, and there were only more than 10,000 Qing soldiers in Jinzhou.

It's just that the Jinzhou Qing soldiers didn't know that the Wehrmacht was already under their noses. When the marines disguised as Qing soldiers occupied the east gate of Jinzhou, the commander of the Jinzhou Qing soldiers was still sleeping, and the more than 10,000 Qing soldiers who were not strong in combat were basically taken prisoner.

Yan Yingyuan did not delay after occupying Jinzhou, and by the time the Qing soldiers reacted at all, the marines had already captured Ningyuan City in the same way.

There were still more than 200 miles from Ningyuan City to Shanhaiguan, and Yan Yingyuan led the marines to travel day and night, and finally arrived at Shanhaiguan City the day before yesterday.

Yan Yingyuan used the captured Ningyuan city guards to deceive the city gate of Shanhaiguan and entered Shanhaiguan. However, the Qing troops at Shanhaiguan did not surrender quickly, and the battle in the city lasted for an hour. The Marines occupied the entire Shanhaiguan Pass.

After Yan Yingyuan occupied Shanhaiguan, on the one hand, he strictly sealed the news to Yongping Mansion, and on the other hand, he sent a lot of scouts in the direction of Yongping Mansion.

Knowing that Duoduo would come to Shanhaiguan sooner or later, Yan Yingyuan arranged a plan to lure Duoduo into the city and annihilate him, but he didn't expect that a captive who seemed to be a Han Chinese turned out to be a Manchurian, and he reminded Duoduo when his entire army was about to enter the city. Yan Yingyuan had to launch an ambush in advance.

Guarded by his own soldiers, Dordor quickly turned his horse's head and ran towards the gate, which was still closed. He also wanted to escape.

Without the many guards of his own army, Dodor might have been able to escape the city in the darkness with the rebels, but now he could not escape.

A group of pro-soldiers had just escorted Duoduo to the bottom of the city tower, and countless torches had been lit on the city wall, and at the same time as the torches were lit, a crisp gunshot rang out. Then he saw that Duoduo fell directly from his horse.

This shot was fired by Yan Yingyuan, who was already a sharpshooter, and Yan Yingyuan, who was already a sharpshooter, practiced a rifle, and soon became a sharpshooter, and there were almost no marksmen in the entire Marine Corps who could surpass him.

The fall of Duoduo further confused the already chaotic Qing soldiers, and at this time, grenades thrown from the city walls began to explode among the Qing soldiers. By this time, Turai had quietly escaped from the city gates.

Almost all of the soldiers who entered the city just now were Duoduo's own soldiers, and almost none of the thousands of new troops in Tulai had yet to enter the city, and under the blockade of rifles and grenade bombardment, only a dozen of Duoduo's personal soldiers who entered the city escaped, and the others all fell in the city along with Duoduo.

Toolai did not have time to congratulate himself on his fate, so he hurried to the outside of the city to organize troops to escape from this dangerous place, but it was too late to escape.

Yan Yingyuan had long been prepared for Duoduo not to enter the city, just when Tulai was still desperately shouting the names of his generals, continuous gunfire had sounded on both sides of the official road outside Shanhaiguan, and Yan Yingyuan quickly led a large group of men and horses to chase out of Shanhaiguan after solving Duoduo's personal soldiers.

The Qing soldiers, who had been hit on both sides in the dark night, were even more confused, and the Turai could no longer restrain the troops at all, and the Qing soldiers were like headless flies scurrying around in the darkness, and were soon knocked down by one shot.

The battle lasted until dawn, and the Qing soldiers who were in a mess did not put up a decent resistance at all, but because of the darkness of the night, many Qing soldiers abandoned their horses and fled to the mountains on both sides, and the marines spent some more time searching for them.

There were not many prisoners, only more than 200 people, and the dark night still allowed some Qing soldiers to escape from the mountains on both sides of the official road.

The body of Duoduo had been found in the city, which made Yan Yingyuan finally breathe a sigh of relief, and soon the troops also found Turai from the corpses of Qing soldiers and soldiers scattered all over the outside of the city, he was killed by a grenade.

When Yan Yingyuan sent someone to report to Ma Yingkui, Ma Yingkui was leading his troops to approach Yongping Mansion.

Knowing that Duoduo and Tulai had been beheaded, Ma Yingkui laughed and said to Zhao Quan and Leng Yundeng: "Liheng has done our work, we have to send the news to Beijing as soon as possible, so that the metropolitan governor can rest assured." (To be continued.) )
