. The scout reported to Tulai about the battle outside the city of Tongzhou, and although it was still twenty miles away from the east gate of the capital, the attack of the Seventh Division was indeed too strong, and the sound of the early morning spread far away, and the rumbling of artillery could be heard even on the wall of the east gate.

Duoduo received the report half an hour later, and heard that the Wehrmacht had begun to attack Tongzhou, which surprised Duoduo and regretted it at the same time, knowing that the Wehrmacht would attack today, and it would have been good to have prepared to flee the capital a day earlier.

However, Fan Wencheng, who had been staying in the palace to serve as a staff officer for Duoduo, was not surprised, he thought that now was a good time to break through.

"Lord Wang, without further ado, we must set off immediately, if we wait for the National Defense Army to defeat Kong Youde, it will be difficult for us to break through again." Although Fan Wencheng felt that the time had come, he also knew that the time was fleeting, and kept urging Duoduo.

"Mr. Fan, are we really not carrying grain and grass anymore?" Duoduo is still a little entangled, he is still confident in escaping, but after escaping, there is no food and grass, so he can only return to the model of ten years ago, and he must rely on grabbing all the way.

"Lord Yu, without further ado! We don't have time anymore, if we carry food and grass with us, where can we escape? As long as we escape, there will always be a way. Seeing that Duoduo was still hesitating, Fan Wencheng was already anxious.

"What about the family? We don't even bring our family members anymore? Although Turai was also in a hurry, he still wanted to bring his family members with him.

"Do you think we're going to visit relatives? Still with family? But don't worry, with the policy of the Wehrmacht, our family will definitely be fine, as long as we escape, we will have the opportunity to meet in the future. Fan Wencheng's tone towards Turai was far less polite than to Duoduo.

"Let's go! Let's go right away. Turai, you go to the east gate to gather troops first, and I'll leave here at once!" "Dodor has also understood, time is everything now.

Fan Wencheng's confidence came from the 3,000 cavalry that Dolgon left for Duoduo, which were all pure Manchu cavalry, not even a single Mongol. At the beginning, Azig wanted to take them away, but Dorgon resolutely refused, at that time he was going to use it to escape for himself, but he didn't expect that it was now prepared for Dodor.

"Xinghua, this, this, our cavalry brigade is a little unruly?" Zuo Maodi put down the binoculars in his hand, pointed to the south side of the Bali Bridge and said with a smile.

"War has its own internal laws, but there are no rules. If everyone fights a 'rule-oriented' battle like Song Xianggong, then the war will not be fought, and the Qing soldiers already know that our national defense forces have these equipment, so why can't they think that these equipment can also be used by cavalry? Luo Jian also said with a smile.

Zhao Quan's cavalry brigade set up a charge formation one mile away from the Bali Bridge, and the 5,000 Qing cavalry on the opposite side also formed a formation, each holding a saber in his right hand and pulling the reins in his left hand, as if he wanted to hedge with the cavalry brigade. This kind of collision of tens of thousands of cavalry is extremely shocking and extremely tragic.

None of the soldiers of the cavalry brigade carried sabers. The more than 500 knights in the front rows were all pulling the reins in their left hands, and in their right hands were carrying a grenade specially made for cavalry, which was slightly lighter than that used by the infantry, and the delay time was shorter after pulling the ring.

"Start charging!" Zhao Quan saw that the distance was almost there, and raised the saber in his hand and gave the order to charge loudly.

The iron hooves of the galloping cavalry trampled on the open field. The earth was trembling, this was just five hundred cavalry charging, the cavalry brigade was still not moving, and after more than five hundred cavalry in front of him rushed out more than 100 meters, Zhao Quan gave the order to charge again. The cavalry of the whole brigade really moved this time.

The cavalry of the Qing army could not see how many cavalry of the Wehrmacht rushed over from the front, and saw that the cavalry of the Wehrmacht began to accelerate, and the cavalry commander of the Qing army also gave the order to charge, and the distance of more than a mile was instantaneous, and the cavalry of the Qing army had raised the saber in their hands, and the cavalry of the cavalry brigade also raised their arms.

On the wide front, I saw that the two galloping cavalry were colliding together, but I saw the cavalry of the cavalry brigade bite off the ring of the grenade with their mouths on the horse, and desperately threw it at the Qing cavalry galloping on the opposite side.

Dozens of grenades exploded in the formation of the Qing cavalry's charge, and dozens of Qing cavalry cavalry suddenly turned on their backs, and grenades flew behind one after another, and all 500 grenades were thrown into the queue of the Qing cavalry's charge, killing and blowing up hundreds of cavalry on the spot.

However, the damage caused by these 500 grenades to the Qing cavalry is far more than these hundreds of horses, the violent explosion sound of the Qing cavalry frightened the horses of the Qing cavalry everywhere, a rough look at the thousands of horses were frightened, the Qing cavalry has no formation at all, the knights on the horse desperately want to restrain their horses, but they can't do it anyway.

They didn't have time to adjust their formation, the cavalry brigade was already roaring over, and the swarthy saber had already slashed at them.

A Qing cavalry raised the saber in his hand to block it, but there was a crisp sound, the saber in his hand had been split in two, but the dark saber did not stop until the Qing cavalry was split into two sections.

The cavalry commander of the Qing army felt that the situation was wrong when the grenade exploded, and by the time he reacted, the entire brigade was completely out of order.

However, the cavalry trained by the Manchus and Mongols still had good riding skills after all, and there were still thousands of Qing cavalry desperately controlling the horses to break away from the battlefield, and after a circle, they ran north from the stone bridge of Bali Bridge.

Zhao Quan was not willing to let go of these Qing cavalry at all, and led the cavalry brigade to directly chase across the Bali Bridge.

"Xinghua, why aren't the horses of the cavalry brigade frightened?" Zuo Maodi asked with some surprise, the explosion was very loud, and it stands to reason that the war horses of the grenadiers would be frightened.

"It has entered the age of firearms, and the war horses must be trained in explosions to adapt them to the violent explosions, and the Qing soldiers didn't even think about this, their defeat was doomed, not to mention that the war horses of the cavalry brigade had long been blocked by them with cotton." Luo Jian said.

"Oh. It turns out that this is the case, I knew that there was no suspense in the cavalry duel, so I still went to see Xiao Wang and them attack Tongzhou. Zuo Maodi said with some regret.

"Hehe, Mr. Zuo, I'm afraid the battle over there in Tongzhou is even more uninteresting!" Luo Jian said with a smile.

Luo Jian is telling the truth, after the combat style enters the hot weapon, it is basically impossible to see the whole picture of the battlefield. In the past, when Luo Jian was in the military academy, he had seen the real battle scenes of the self-defense counterattack. Except for the occasional shrill gunshot, and the sight of the wounded constantly being carried down from the front, not a single enemy figure could be seen.

In fact, the battle in Tongzhou was not interesting, and the more important reason was that the battle went too fast, and the two direct shots of the two guns blew the gate of the west gate of Tongzhou to pieces, and Xie Kui had already rushed into Tongzhou City with a regiment.

By the time the Qing soldiers who were packing up and preparing to flee hurriedly took off their muskets from their backs, the Wehrmacht soldiers had already arrived, and in the face of the black muzzles, the Qing soldiers had no choice but to surrender.

Kong Youde's new army is basically a pure Han soldier in the new army, and they are basically recruited after the establishment of the new army. This is also an important reason why these new armies do not have a strong will to fight.

The Manchu nobles, their minions and their sons were basically part of Turai's new army, and although Dolgon did not want to do so at first, the factions that formed in the new army later forced him to separate them, otherwise the internal strife of the new army would ruin the fighting power of the new army.

The 2nd, 3rd and 4th regiments had also entered the city, and a large number of Qing soldiers raised their muskets and knelt on the ground to surrender, and Xie Kui led a regiment led by the captives to Kong Youde's mansion.

Tongzhou City is not big, Xie Kui quickly led people to Kong Youde's mansion, and only when he arrived did he know that Kong Youde had fled from the mansion. It's just that he hasn't been gone for long, and Xie Kui estimates that Kong Youde hasn't escaped from Tongzhou City yet.

Kong Youde has indeed not escaped from Tongzhou yet. At the beginning, when the Wehrmacht soldiers approached the city of Tongzhou, only one regiment began to attack the west gate, and the other regiments did not surround the city of Tongzhou.

But Kong Youde was really reluctant to leave behind the new army he had spent several years training, but this was only one aspect. The most fundamental reason is that he knows that if he escapes single-handedly, it will be impossible to pull up the team again, and Kong Youde, who does not have a team, can only become a lost dog, although the world is big, there is no place for him.

Wang Qiang, who arrived in a hurry, also knew that Kong Youde had just escaped from the mansion. Wang Qiang quickly ordered Xie Kui's regiment to start a search in the city as a company, and Wang Qiang himself joined the search team with a company of guards.

Wang Qiang led the guard company from the vicinity of the west gate to the east to search the past, on the way encountered several other regiments with groups of prisoners rushing to the west gate of Tongzhou, Wang Qiang was not verbose, with the guard company directly to the east rushed over, he felt that Kong Youde towards the northeast is the most likely to escape.

Tongzhou City was in chaos, gunshots were still ringing everywhere, and suddenly a fierce gunfire came from the northeast, Wang Qiang waved his hand, and the guard company ran in the direction of the gunshot.

Wang Qiang arrived to see that a company of the Fourth Regiment was attacking a compound in the northeast corner of Tongzhou City, and the musket fire in the courtyard was very fierce, and this company did not attack several times.

"Inform the rest of the troops to surround this compound! Order the mortar battalion to hurry over! Wang Qiang ordered the messenger beside him, the firepower of the courtyard made him feel a little strange, the Qing soldiers who had been messed up could still organize such a scale of firepower, at least there were more than 500 people in the courtyard, if there were no important Qing generals here, I am afraid it would not be able to organize.

Ten minutes later, Xie Kui arrived with a battalion, and a few more minutes later the mortar battalion also arrived.

"Stop shooting, shout inside, give them five minutes to surrender!" Wang Qiang gave the order.

The Seventh Division outside the courtyard stopped shooting, and the Qing soldiers on the wall of the compound were still shooting sporadically outward.

However, in response to the shouting of the gunshot on the wall, Wang Qiang was annoyed and yelled at the commander of the mortar battalion: "Hit me!" ”

The two salvos of the 36th artillery of the mortar battalion soon stopped the compound from gunfire, Xie Kui waved his hand, and the soldiers of the first battalion rushed towards the wall with their waists bent, and the soldiers who arrived at the bottom of the wall took out their grenades and threw them into the courtyard, and when the grenades exploded, they set up a ladder and climbed into the courtyard and opened the gate on the wall.

Wang Qiang took a few guards into the courtyard from the gate to see that the courtyard was full of corpses of Qing soldiers, and many Qing soldiers were still lying on the ground half dead, obviously seriously injured.

"Hurry up and find out if Kong Youde is there?" Wang Qiang shouted.

"Don't look for it, the Commander has already been blown up by you." A wounded soldier of the Qing army sat on the ground with a musket, pointed to a corpse covered in armor in front of the left and said weakly.
