"Not good!" Yi Xin's face changed drastically, and she shouted: "It's a plan, hurry, stop it, don't let anyone go!" ”
He understands that the captives on the opposite side have lost their minds under the strong desire to survive, and once they rush into their own formation, the whole army will inevitably be in chaos.
You must know that Xianfeng is at the head of Yongding City, and if there is any errand, everyone's head will not be enough to atone for their sins if they cut their heads ten times!
"Bang Bang~~" two muffled sounds, Yi Xun's voice just fell, there was a cannon sound from the formation of the Democratic Alliance, Yi Xun subconsciously turned his head to look, and saw a boom, on the Yongding Gate, the tall and majestic watchtower was hit by a cannon, and in an instant, the smoke was billowing out, the fire exploded, and the brick and tile debris burst out!
Two artillery hit one cannon, it is also very good, this is since the Qing army entered the customs for more than 200 years, Beijing City was bombarded by artillery for the first time, Wang Feng has no sense of cultural relics protection, there are countless buildings destroyed by war in Chinese history, and there is no shortage of a gatehouse of Yongding Gate, and even necessary, he did not hesitate to beat Beijing City into ruins!
Wang Feng has always held a point of view, China lacks everything, but there is no shortage of people, there are people, are you afraid that you can't rebuild?
"Xiangu has been killed by cannons, brothers, come on! Above! Kill, attack the city of Beijing, kill into the Tartar's lair, and pick up Xianfeng's corpse. A thousand taels of silver! ”
"Doodoo~~"
In the Democratic Alliance army, the trumpet of the charge was sounded. The sound of the trumpet was the charge of the Eighth Route Army, under the cover of rumbling artillery fire. The soldiers used to escort the captives spread their legs and rushed forward, the shouts of killing were deafening, and the city of Beijing was completely chaotic!
Xianfeng was stupid, when the shell hit the gatehouse, he was stupid on the spot, he didn't expect that the artillery of the Democratic Alliance Army was really accurate and far!
"Boom!" Another shell hit the gatehouse, this time causing even more damage on the original basis. The five-foot-tall wooden three-story building collapsed a small half, and a piece of rubble flew over his face!
The city was densely covered with Qing troops, and in these two artillery shots, dozens of people were killed on the spot, and those buried by the brick and tile beams could not be counted for the time being, and there were many injured rolling on the ground!
"Open fire, fire back! Hurry, hurry up and take the emperor away! "The face of the infantry commander Zaiquan changed drastically. Waving his arms again and again, he shouted angrily!
The guards didn't care about asking Xianfeng at this time, and ran back with Xianfeng without saying anything to the ministers, and Xianfeng also forgot that he had made a promise to demonstrate for the soldiers. At this moment, his face was pale, and his heart was full of only one thought: war was too terrible. It's still safe in the Forbidden City.
Nearly 100 people rushed to the stairs, and the defenders lit the arquebus. Suddenly, dozens of cannons roared together. The sound was so loud that it could deafen people's ears, Xianfeng jumped violently, and then collapsed as if he had fallen apart, thanks to the support of everyone before he fell!
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, are you alright?" Mianyu didn't care about the pain in her chest, she helped Xianfeng to ask with concern, then turned her head and scolded: "You dog slaves, you don't pick a point when you fire a gun, you startle the emperor, who can afford it?" ”
The generals were stunned, this cannon is not, it is not if it is not released, they don't know what to do, they all knelt around Xianfeng, or Xianfeng waved his hand weakly: "Go back to the palace quickly!" ”
Soon, Xianfeng disappeared at the corner of the stairs, the defender breathed a sigh of relief, taking advantage of the gap between loading gunpowder shells, they stretched their necks to look at the results, but disappointed, the dozens of cannons that were fired out were all empty, this can't be helped, the Hongyi cannon above the city head, the range could not reach the base camp of the Democratic Alliance, and more than 10,000 people led by Wang Feng were closer to the city wall, and they were overheaded, as for the light artillery, the range was only two or three hundred meters, and it was far from the Democratic Alliance.
"Adjust the gun position, quick, hurry!" Zaiquan secretly scolded his mother, and shouted loudly, but how can it be so easy to adjust the artillery position, especially the 8,000 jin and 10,000 jin Hongyi cannons, a little bit of movement is a pain in the bones, and what's worse is that the Qing army has no geometric knowledge to calculate the relationship between the elevation angle and the firing range of the artillery, so it can only be estimated by experience!
More than a dozen people surrounded a cannon, struggling to adjust the elevation angle, and the Democratic Alliance army bombarded upwards without paying attention to the gentlemanly spirit, and the black smoke billowed from the city's head, and the rumbling sound continued.
Below the city, Yixun didn't know that Xianfeng had left, but he was anxious, and when he saw that the prisoners in front of him still had a distance of thirty or forty zhang left, he suddenly gritted his teeth and shouted: "Shoot, shoot!" ”
Everyone, including him, didn't expect that the situation would take a sharp turn in an instant, especially the shout that Xianfeng was killed by artillery, although he knew that it was nonsense from the Democratic Alliance Army, but the crux of the matter was that Xianfeng was indeed on it, what if there was a mistake?
Sure enough, he was not the only one affected, there was already an uneasy and restless aura surging in the formation, and there were almost no people who even fired!
"Shoot, shoot, violator, slash!" Yixun was about to go crazy, and he pulled out his waist knife and waved it indiscriminately, looking like he would kill at any time.
Although he is conceited and wise, he is also a prince of peace, in the face of emergencies, he has no experience in dealing with emergencies, he is good at strategizing, thinking quietly, rather than making the fastest and most realistic response when the situation is out of control.
"Bang bang~~" Under Yi Xun's strong order, the Qing army finally pulled the trigger, and among the released prisoners, more than 200 people fell on the spot!
"Guys, run, they have to get bullets, let's hurry up and rush over and enter the city to survive!"
If you don't take this opportunity to run back and be caught up by the Democratic Alliance forces behind, it will be a gun on the back of the abdomen, rather than going back and being killed by the Democratic Alliance Army, it is better to rush forward with a tendon, or you can fight a time difference, or maybe your colleagues will not be able to shoot because of their soft hands!
More than 1,900 people, at the beginning of the Democratic Alliance symbolically killed dozens of them, after all, Wang Feng's goal was to create panic and drive the prisoners to attack his own position, not to shoot the fleeing prisoners, and more than 200 died in the back, and there were still 1,600 left, and the distance was only a few tens of meters.
"Don't shoot, put it down! Otherwise, Lao Tzu will peel your skin! ”
"Get out of the way, get out of the way, let the old boys pass!"
Facing the captive's red eyes, hideous expression, and the speed of rushing in, the Qing army finally panicked, many of them were colleagues, neighbors, and children and relatives, these are all their own people, shoot their own people, few can be ruthless!
As if about to be slapped by a huge wave, the embankment composed of the Qing army collapsed one after another, and instantly turned into a part of the huge wave and swept backwards, and everyone turned around and ran after the captives!
"Lord Gong, I can't hold it anymore, hurry back to the city!" Seeing this situation, Su Shun grabbed the reins of Yixun's horse and called out loudly.
To tell the truth, Yixun's mind hadn't turned a corner yet, and the whole army collapsed too suddenly, and he was stunned!
"Lord Gong, let's go, if you don't leave, we'll be prisoners too!" Zaigaki turned the horse's head and urged loudly!
Yi Xun shuddered, and finally came back to his senses, there were more than 1,000 prisoners, and the troops he brought to guard the prisoners were more than 8,000, these nearly 10,000 people were all in chaos, in the chaos of the army, no one cared about him anymore, countless figures ran by, and even saw clearly, a few people stumbled and fell, and they didn't even have a chance to get up, they were trampled to death!
A strong fear overcame his heart, and Yi Xun shouted, "Go, go!" Then he turned his horse's head and galloped away!
Even the big people led by Prince Gong ran away, and there were still Democratic Alliance troops behind them, and the rest of the people ran faster, nearly 10,000 people rushed towards the city gate, and at a distance of two or three hundred meters, tens of thousands of Democratic Alliance troops were chasing!
"Good!" In the base camp of the Democratic Alliance, Li Kaifang slapped his thigh and applauded loudly: "My old Li is an eye-opener today, using the enemy to impact his own formation, I didn't expect the battle to be like this, Commander Wang is really a genius!" ”
Lin Fengxiang also said with infinite emotion: "Commander Wang is well versed in human psychology, first kill Shengbao, play the role of killing chickens and monkeys, and bring a huge psychological pressure to the remaining captured Qing army, and then offer a sky-high ransom to Yixun, Yixun naturally will not pay obediently, which strengthens the despair of those captives, but just when they closed their eyes and waited for death, Commander Wang suddenly ordered to be released, and forced the captives to run forward with the threat of shooting. He was a pawn for the Democratic Alliance!
High! It's really high! If we could have learned some of Commander Wang's methods earlier, I am afraid that it would not have been wiped out in the hands of Seng Lingqin, now in retrospect, Commander Wang's persuasion in Chaoyang City is vivid, but unfortunately no one took it seriously, especially me and Lao Li are still full of Top Gun, looking like we will not give up if we do not attack Beijing City, and the result is that more than 20,000 soldiers died unexpectedly, alas~~"
Lin Fengxiang sighed, his voice full of remorse and self-blame!
Li Kaifang sighed: "We tried every possible way to attack Beijing, but we didn't even touch Beijing's hair, in fact, according to the current situation, even if we are lucky enough to hit the city of Beijing, there is no possibility of breaking through the city at all, but Commander Wang, it is very promising to take advantage of the situation to break through Beijing, if we can capture Xianfeng in one fell swoop, I am afraid that the world can be pacified!" ”
Su Sanniang smiled proudly: "Wang Feng won't be so impulsive, I heard Shui Jiao say that there will be British attacks on Su Song this year, and he must go back as much as possible!" ”
"Hmm!" Yang Shuijiao nodded: "If I guessed correctly, Wang Feng's attack on Beijing was actually a feint, and it was to take advantage of the defeat of the Qing army to promote the long-term situation, otherwise let the Qing army chase out of the city and encircle several large camps outside the city, then even if the whole army can leave, many people will die." As he was talking, he suddenly pointed to the back: "Look, the Fengtai camp is coming!" ”
