Chapter 817: Recovery

(Old White Cow: There are still three chapters to end, and after several years of hard work, it is finally time to bear fruit.) Pen % Fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info)

In the sound of drums, the dense shield cart approached and headed back to Longguan.

This is the left flank front of the Qing army to attack the Jingbian Army, with the Prince of Yu Duoduo supervising the battle, leading half of the Eight Banners of the Han Eight Banners, the Eight Banners of the Day, the Eight Banners of the Xian Dynasty and other banners, in addition to the clothing of various ethnic groups and the servants pushing the dense shield cart forward, in the position of the Eight Banners of Japan, there are also protective equipment such as bamboo bundles and walking poles unique to Japan.

As the main infantry combat force, they need to be forced all the way to the front of the Jingbian army, at least a mile or two away from that side, so that the supervising army Duoduo can continue to arrange the attack.

After the Japanese and other daimyo were attached, because the time was still short, they basically did not change their costumes except for shaving their hair, so their array looked quite dazzling, with colorful family coats and horse seals, coquettishly dressed mothers and flag warriors.

Even Ashigaru wears bamboo armor painted with bright red and black lacquer, and each has a dense array of flags, which is quite eye-catching.

Those feudal lords who were the lords of Gushan were even wearing gorgeous armor and horned helmets, and their images were hideous.

They are dressed so coquettishly, which naturally attracts key blows.

The eight banners of the day and the eight banners of the fresh 16,000 banners, this battle is all out of the Ding, they are very active in the battle, Liaodong is sparsely populated, the land is fertile, is the lack of population, this time they also hope to catch more coatings.

Because of the conquest, they are also full of confidence in the combat power of the Manmeng Eight Banners, not to mention that after entering the customs, they also captured the sharp weapons that frightened them, the big cylinder and the collapse of the country.

This confidence was maintained until after the launch of the Jingbian Army's rockets, and the Japanese were shocked to discover that there were still firearms in the world that were sharper than the collapse of the country.

Compared with the sharp weapons of the Jingbian Army, dozens of big cylinders and national collapses on their own side are obviously not enough to see.

At this time, the five large cylinders in front of the Chinese army were nothing compared to the firearms possessed by the Jingbian Army.

They had about 8,000 men from four banners in this large array on the left flank, including four banners and 16,000 Han and eight banners in the middle army and the front formation, and they and the Koreans of the four banners on the two wings.

Under the golden drum command, they slowly moved forward, and the battle on the left flank had already overwhelmed many feudal lords, and the soldiers and horses were too vast.

Looking further to the left, you can vaguely see the right-wing men and horses of the Shun army, which is even more boundless, all kinds of things add up, I am afraid that it is a war of millions of people, how can there ever be a war in the history of Japan? I still came to China to see the world.

Compared with the 10,000-person battle in China, which can be recorded in the history books, his participation in this war will definitely go down in history.

Just when these feudal lords were full of emotion and infinite pride, the five Hongyi heavy artillery, five heavy mortar guns, and twenty ordinary Hongyi cannons placed by the Jingbian army in the Huilongguan position roared and opened fire on them, hitting them from three miles to two miles and then to one mile.

These days, the bright armor of the eight flags, the sea of flags with flowers and branches, are as eye-catching as standing out from the crowd, who will they fight if they don't hit them?

Not to mention that they still have thousands of iron gunners, the Japanese iron gunners have always been famous, and the bird guns were introduced from the Japanese country, and the Jingbian army will not let these iron gunners exist.

If necessary, rockets will be brought in to wipe them out in one fell swoop, so on the way to the approaching formation, the Eight Banners have been bombarded miserably these days.

Walking almost one meter and two in a second, maintaining a military formation, but also pushing carts, walking more slowly, at this distance, the gunners of the Jingbian Army calmly aimed, so that those Japanese Eight Banners did not know how many cannons.

With the rumbling cannon, white smoke rose from the village on the other side of the Xuanfu Palace, and a cannonball weighing more than ten catties roared, lifting a large ball of dirt on the ground, and then jumped up violently and slammed into the shield car in front.

With a bang, the elaborate shield cart immediately shattered, and the fragments exploded in all directions, and the Japanese coat of the cart rolled over a large piece with a scream.

The solid iron ball of more than ten catties was still strong, and it hit the bamboo bundle pushed from behind with strong force. The bamboo bundle can effectively prevent bullets, but it can't prevent cannons, especially the solid iron balls emitted by this heavy artillery, which are also cracked into pieces in the same uproar, and several pieces of buckles that follow are also smashed to pieces.

The step is an anti-arrow weapon, but the anti-collision ability is far from being compared with the bamboo bundle, being hit by a dozen pounds of solid iron balls, it is as easy as breaking the pile of toys.

Then the heavy solid iron ball pounced on the iron gunners who were lined up behind, and they stood in a dense column, and after being hit by the solid iron ball, they caused a very tragic scene.

Broken limbs, fragments of weapons, banners and armor fluttered, and finally after the solid iron ball stopped, this piece was full of hoarse screams, blood everywhere, and many Japanese flagmen with missing arms and legs rolled in pools of blood and wailed.

The special soldier rolled over with his little foot, his right little foot was cut off at the knee, blood gushed out like a fountain, and the severed place still exposed the white leg bones, and some residual muscles after tearing, which was extremely terrifying.

Another heavy artillery shell was fired into the vicinity of a large number of soldiers, knocking over a large area of the mother-clothed people and the Qimoto samurai who were acting as Bayala on this side, and these people were on their horses, and the solid iron balls weighing more than ten pounds rushed past, and it was a scream and neighing of men and horses, and fragments of broken limbs and armor were scattered.

These Japanese samurai exclaimed, "The country collapsed...... The collapse of the country ......"

Duoduo looked over there with some worry, the artillery of the Jingbian Army kept whistling, making his own position cry and cry for his mother, and the side of the Eight Banners was even more chaotic and ready to collapse at any time. Compared with the Han army and the Koreans, these Japanese people were quite poor in artillery ability, and he was very worried about whether they could advance to the front of the Jingbian army.

He ordered the armored soldiers with the formation to strengthen supervision, regardless of the Han, Korea, and Japanese banners, no matter how high or low, those who dared to disobey the order and fled in a panic were all killed.

……

The fierce artillery roared, and the same solid iron ball weighing more than ten pounds roared, and a solid shield car on the right flank of the large array was smashed to pieces, and the shell also rushed into the infantry behind the shield car, all the way over, blood and flesh flew sideways, and the terrible scream was deafening.

Some of the carts were wrapped and the rear soldiers broke down and shouted, and then they were unceremoniously cut to the ground by the bannermen who escorted the formation.

Compared with the Qing army, these original Ming troops had fewer opportunities to be artillery, and in the face of the threat of artillery, even if many of them were elite Guanning soldiers, they were all terrified, and without the supervision of the Qing soldiers, they could not advance to the front of the Jingbian army at all.

Tang Tong silently retracted his gaze and glanced at Wu Sangui, who was expressionless.

Seeing Wu Sangui coming, he quickly turned his head, but there was still a trace of fierce light in the corner of his eye.

……

In the west of the capital division, there are continuous beautiful peaks, towering and beautiful, arching to the right of the city, called a famous spot.

On Cuifeng Mountain, Gao Gui held a clairvoyant mirror to look at the movement of the capital, and Zhuang Xuzu, the general of the left battalion of the cavalry beside him, looked at the sundial on the side from time to time, watching the shadow of the sun move, corresponding to the hour scale of the sundial, and the appointed time was approaching.

He looked in the direction of Jingshi, and then looked back at the bottom of Cuifeng Mountain, dense hats and helmets spread all over the valley floor, the metal light of armor, spears, and muskets extended to the other side of the mountain, and the dense sun, moon, and wave flags were blowing in the wind.

Since yesterday, these 30,000 people have been hiding in this area thirty miles away from the Beijing Division, and they have been waiting until today, until this time.

It's almost time, the appointed hour is almost up.

……

Jingshi, on the towering city wall of Desheng Gate, an official who served in the Shun Dynasty said to Niu Jinxing worriedly: "Prime Minister, there have been rumors in the capital recently, and there seems to be chaos among the people advocating righteousness, and this atmosphere is quite wrong. ”

Niu Jinxing frowned slightly, and finally waved his hand and said: "The main force of the army is heading north, and there are only 20,000 people left in the city. Let's be cautious in the near future, and have nothing to do. ”

After Li Zicheng led the main force north on 17 April, the atmosphere in this Beijing division was different, and no matter how dull the person was, he also felt that a great storm was coming. After they expressed this concern, the left-behind Prime Minister Niu Cheng was just as helpless, so they just let them be cautious.

Alas, this thief has come to return to the thief, and it seems that it is just a dream to seek the wealth of the new dynasty.

At this time, they followed Niu Jinxing, Song Xiance, Gu Junen, Song Qijiao, Zhang Lanran and other six government officials, and inspected the defense of the city with them.

From the first time they entered the city, everyone was worried and frightened, but it was only a month. Who knows what it will be like after entering Beijing, everyone just hopes that the army at the front will win.

Among this group of people, there are Zehou Tian Jianxiu walking in the forefront, he and Niu Jinxing and other civil servants stayed behind, the headquarters of 3,000 old battalions, some foreign battalions, and some Beijing camps with a total of 20,000 people guarding the inner and outer cities.

He also felt the strange atmosphere in Beijing, but the main army went out of the city to the north, with a small number of troops in his hands, he just wanted to make a difference, but he also felt that he had more than enough heart and not enough strength.

He also heard Niu Jinxing's voice, except for frowning slightly, he didn't say anything else, he stood by the city wall and looked north, thinking in his heart how much grain and grass he would supply today, and when would King Chuang win?

Such a majestic and magnificent Jingshi, I really want to occupy it forever.

He inspected the city defense, and naturally followed the guards around him, and his three thousand old battalions guarded many gates in the inner city, one in the east and one in the west, and there were only a dozen or so people beside him, and there were five armor soldiers in this who attracted people's attention.

Compared with other old battalion soldiers who are dressed in light armor and no armor, they are all heavily armored, and the pieces of armor are all made of fine iron, which looks extremely heavy and thick, and the nail leaves clangle between the lines.

These soldiers are five sibling brothers, Tian Jianxiu unintentionally saved them in Henan two years ago, and since then these five brothers have been following him, and they have been born and died with him in the past two years, and have saved the lives of Tian Jianxiu and others many times, and they are highly trusted by Tian Jianxiu himself.

After entering Beijing, Tian Jianxiu knew that these five people loved heavy armor, so he specially collected these five sets of armor from the warehouse.

"I don't know how the fight is going in Qinghedian?"

Tian Jianxiu muttered to himself, still looking at the wilderness outside the city, but his hand stretched back.

One soldier understood, took out a box of "Gao Qian Zongpai" small cigarette rolls, smoked one for Tian Jianxiu, and the other soldier took out a fire fold from his waist and lit it for him.

Tian Jianxiu slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, this small cigarette roll is really a good thing, smoke one, no worries and worries, after entering Beijing, he collected some from a marquis' mansion, and there are no boxes left. I heard that there are small cigarette rolls in Xuanfu Town, and I hope that after defeating them, I can collect some large cigarette rolls from Wang Dou's mansion.

He was thinking about it, but unexpectedly, several armor soldiers exchanged glances behind him, and one armor soldier looked at the sky and nodded.

Suddenly, a soldier pulled out a long knife from his waist, and with a flash of cold light, he stabbed straight into Tian Jianxiu's heart, and with a "poof" sound, the blood immediately shot straight out.

This sudden knife made Tian Mixiu's eyes widen, his face was full of disbelief, and he let out a beastly howl, grabbing the protruding blade with one hand with blood, and the other hand wanted to scratch the person who stabbed the knife behind him.

The armor soldier pressed the handle of the knife hard, and his face was splashed with blood beads from Tian Jianxiu's body, and the sharp blade was still slowly twisting. Tian Jianxiu fluttered and roared, but he couldn't turn around, and finally he grabbed the city wall with both hands weakly and slid down, and he didn't see who gave him a knife.

The armored soldier put one foot on Tian Jianxiu's body, and pulled out his knife with a "poof", and immediately blood splashed on the city wall and flew onto the city bricks, which was shocking.

This scene of the rabbit falling frightened everyone present, and one of his relatives reacted, and he roared angrily: "Master Hou." ”

He was about to pull out the blade on his waist, and with a choking sound, one of the armor soldiers pulled out his long knife again, and with a "poof" sound, it fiercely penetrated through his left eye and pierced out of the back of his head.

Immediately, blood mixed with brains, red and white, splashed all over the walls.

Another pro-follower roared and slashed with a knife, this armor soldier did not dodge or dodge, and the long knife of his pro-follower slashed on his iron armor, and in the sound of clanging, sparks shot everywhere. Taking advantage of this gap, the armor soldier did not hesitate, and the long knife in his hand slashed at the neck of the entourage.

Most of the relatives had their necks split, and a large stream of blood spurted out, and others fell to the ground with a "bang", and their bodies were still twitching.

The cold light flashed, and the screams sounded, and soon Tian Jianxiu's entourage was killed by five armored soldiers, and there were many blood marks on their iron armor, and the air here was also full of the smell of blood. At the same time, there was also a killing sound nearby, and several groups of sharps wearing iron armor rushed here.

Niu Jinxing and the others screamed in fright, and a shun official wanted to escape, but a long knife stabbed him in the abdomen, and the long knife was withdrawn, and a large stream of blood gushed out of his mouth and wound, and the official rolled to the ground, screaming hoarsely.

Niu Jinxing and the others' eyes widened, and they shrank into a ball and screamed in horror.

At this time, the group of sharp soldiers rushed to the front, they nodded with a few people here, and the armored soldier led by him took out his waist card and shouted: "The sergeant of Huangming Xuanfu Town is here, and you are waiting for the thieves, why don't you quickly tie your hands and arrest it?" ”

……

In the low streets and alleys of Chongwenmen Street, the dense townsfolk fathers and elders are hidden and dense, and they all hold sticks, hoes, forks, kitchen knives and other weapons in their hands.

The leader of them was the cold-faced armored soldier Tang Yanji, at this time he had already put on his own fine iron heavy armor, he was holding a long knife in his hand, his face was expressionless, but he raised his eyes to look at the sky from time to time.

Not far behind him was Zhang Shouyin, a squad soldier, holding a spear in his hand, because of excessive force, his hands were already full of green muscles, and Yang Bagu was standing beside him, holding a kitchen knife in his hand, gritting his teeth, his eyes were red.

Looking at these dense villagers, they are all quiet and silent, just waiting for the time to kill the thief.

There were men and women, old and young, just waiting quietly.

Suddenly, they all looked up at the sky, and a sharp whistling was sent into the air, and they saw a huge rocket rising from the inner city, and then exploding in mid-air, and finally bright fireworks flashed, which was very gorgeous.

The brilliant fireworks slowly converged into two golden characters: "Wan Sheng!" ”

The loud sound of this thunderbolt shocked Zhang Shouyin, Yang Bagu and others, and all the neighbors were also shocked.

Tang Yanji roared and shouted, "Kill all the thieves!" ”

Taking the lead, the dancing knife rushed out.

"Kill the thieves!"

Zhang Shouyin shouted hoarsely, holding his spear, and also rushed out.

"Kill the thief!"

Countless neighbors rushed out with their rudimentary weapons.

"Kill the thief!"

Not only this street and alley, but also the nearby streets and alleys, the outer city, the inner city, and the various gates of Beijing, there are voices of shouting and killing, and the voices are men and women, old and young, getting louder and louder, and finally the whole city of Beijing is shouting: "Kill the thief!" ”

Yang Bagu followed Zhang Shouyin and rushed out, she held the lid of the pot in her left hand and the kitchen knife in her right hand, and kept shouting while rushing: "Kill the thief!" Kill the thief! Kill the thief! Kill the thief! ”

Her voice spread far away, gathered in the voices of countless people, the whole city of Beijing shouted to kill the sky, men and strong women shouted to kill thieves, hundreds of miles inside and outside the capital made the same noise, children and women beat the cymbals and drums, and the copper bathtub sounded to help.

There are also people throwing beds, blocking the avenue, or transporting utensils to block the mouth of the alley, hindering the passage of thieves. Flying tiles and throwing stones like crows, Chen Chen is confused, and there are constantly men who climb to the roof and lie on the eaves to serve, and when there is a thief, they throw bricks and tiles and stones down to hit the thief.

Millions of people in Beijing are all prominent in the alleys, vowing to kill all the thieves.

……

"Okay, the time has come, there's a signal!"

The noble and fierce retracted the clairvoyant, and the densely packed officers beside him also retracted the clairvoyant, thirty miles away, if you don't keep an eye on it, the fireworks signal sent out there may be ignored.

Looking at the officers beside him, he said in a noble and deep voice: "Gentlemen, recovering the capital division and defeating the thieves, this is the case." ”

He roared violently: "Kill the thieves!" ”

"Wan Sheng!"

The fierce order sounded, the cavalry of the left battalion of the Chinese army rushed out first, and they rushed out of the valley with thousands of horses, like a rolling metal torrent, towards the side of the inner city of Fuchengmen, they need to race against time, otherwise the people of the Beijing division will suffer greatly.

There is also the noble Left Battalion of the White Tiger Army, which rushed out on horseback and went in the direction of Guang'anmen in the outer city, and then the remaining soldiers of the C-class battalion, all ran in, and entered Fuchengmen and Guang'anmen respectively.

Iron horses rushed, horses were like a tide, hooves thundered, and dense hats and helmets swayed, and the rhythmic sound of footsteps sounded beneath the layers of spears and flintlock pistols.

The city gate has been opened, and finally, in the overwhelming cheers, the hunting and flying sun, moon and wave flags entered the capital, and the cavalry of the left battalion of the Chinese army first rushed into Fuchengmen, and then the noble left battalion of the White Tiger Army rushed into Guang'anmen, and then the soldiers of the third class army of each battalion soon entered the city from the second gate.

The cold light of the dense weapons shook rhythmically, and they kept running, and the torrent of eight-petal hats and helmets continued to enter the city. (To be continued.) )
