It is inevitable that the Fengtai battalion will attack, the city of Beijing has been subjected to artillery fire, the gatehouse is crumbling, and no one can afford to take this responsibility, but Wang Feng does not care, he believes that Lu Dayou can block the Fengtai battalion.

As for the Xishan camp and the Xiangshan camp, the full name of the Xishan camp is the Xishan Jianrui Battalion, also known as the Xishan Yunti Battalion, which was founded in the Qianlong period and was established to extinguish the Jinchuan uprising, with an initial number of about 2,000 people, and then increased from dynasty to dynasty, and was dedicated to attacking the city, rather than charging and fighting.

Moreover, part of the Jianrui battalion was taken away by Monk Greenqin, and the rest were only a few thousand people even if they were dispatched.

The source of troops in the Xiangshan camp is more miscellaneous, in addition, it and the Xishan camp are forty or fifty miles away from Beijing City, get the order, and then organize the troops to come, I am afraid that the whole army has gone far, and although the Yuanmingyuan Guard Camp is relatively close, with six thousand people of the Eight Banners Protector Army and the Baoyi Army, but the importance of the Old Summer Palace is no worse than that of the Forbidden City, the huge park needs to be garrisoned, and it is impossible to have too many troops to support Beijing, so the current shape is still in the hands of Wang Feng.

The Democratic Alliance pursued the rout, but only released its guns sporadically, and because they had to stop and load their bullets every time they fired a shot, they could not finish firing all at once, so the purpose of firing their guns was only to create pressure on the rout troops in front.

Nearly 10,000 people fled back, which made the 20,000 Qing troops stationed at the city gate not shoot, nor did they retreat. It's incredibly difficult.

Yi Xun, who was in the lead, shouted at the top of his voice: "Get out of the way, get out of the way." Hurry up, let this king go back to the city! ”

Yixin is really in a hurry. There are 20,000 people blocking the door in front of him, and if there is a slight delay, he will be swarmed by the rout army behind, and the city gate hole is only three or four zhang wide, if he can't grab the first one to enter, the consequences will be unimaginable, and at the same time, he is also afraid that a general who is not long-sighted will order to shoot.

At this time, he only begged to enter the city by himself. As for whether the whole army will be defeated, or whether it will be followed by the Democratic Alliance army, it is no longer a matter of concern.

With Yixun's order, 20,000 defenders hurriedly made way of a passage, and saw dozens of horsemen led by Yixun galloping into the city gate like a whirlwind, followed by nearly 10,000 soldiers, everyone was desperately squeezing into the city, and the narrow doorway was blocked and crowded.

"Get out of the way. Get out of the way, let Lao Tzu in! ”

"You're fucking blocking the road, aren't you, give Lao Tzu a death!"

"Alas! Fuck you, dare to cut Lao Tzu? Lao Tzu took your dog's life first! ”

"Bang Bang~~"

There was a mess at the gates. Crowded, torn, slashed. Just to compete for the doorway that can only accommodate a maximum of ten people side by side, and you may not be relieved to enter the doorway. Because the door hole is slender and long, a fall is death!

The confusion at the gate spread to the defenders on both sides. At this point, everyone understands that the defeat has been achieved, and there is no heart to stop the Democratic Alliance army that is rapidly chasing, and they have turned around and fled, outside the Yongding Gate is a moat 20 meters wide, there is a suspension bridge on the river surface, between the moat and the city gate, is a 30-meter-wide open space, at this time, the bridge deck has been crowded with people, some soldiers who are far away from the position of the suspension bridge, see this frame, immediately jump into the river.

Although the river was still cold at the beginning of March, there was no need to worry about life and death.

With the suspension bridge as the center, the moat is full of people, and the bridge deck is still in chaos, and from time to time there are people who stand unsteadily and are pushed into the river, shouting and scolding, and shouting for help!

The Democratic Alliance army behind chased closer and closer, but the Hongyi cannon at the head of the city had not yet adjusted the angle, and the light artillery was still not enough range, so the Democratic Alliance army released two cannons to the city, and after the panic escalated, they turned the gun head to bombard the Fengtai camp, so that Zaiquan could carefully stand up and inspect it, which was a cold sweat that saw him, gritted his teeth violently, and shouted: "Collect the suspension bridge, quickly collect the suspension bridge!" ”

At present, including the swimming river, there are less than 20,000 people who have crossed the river, and a gatekeeper hurriedly reminded: "Lord Ding, not everyone can swim!" ”

Zaiquan hurriedly said: "How can you manage so much? If you are followed into the city by Shorthair, then you and I are both guilty of death! Collect the drawbridge, cut off the way to retreat, or be able to put it to death and come back to life, will not swim in the water to the king of the water to fight, there is a city head artillery side response, may not be able to repel the short hair, quickly collect the drawbridge! ”

"Wow!" The guard of the gate immediately gave an order, and the soldiers shook desperately, but the suspension bridge was full of people, according to the river width of 20 meters, the width of the suspension bridge was 10 meters, the bridge deck of 200 square meters, three people per square meter, that is, 600 people, and then according to the per capita weight of 150 catties, this is the weight of 90,000 catties!

Although the soldiers had enough strength to feed, except for the rattling of the ropes, the huge skull trembled slightly, and the drawbridge did not move at all!

Another lieutenant general hurriedly said: "Lord Ding, you can't shake it, and if you shake it again, the rope will break!" ”

Zaiquan said without thinking: "Shoot, shoot, tell the people below to retreat, who dares to stay on the bridge deck, shoot and kill in a hurry!" ”

A platoon of soldiers stood along the head of the city with their guns, and one of them shouted loudly: "Get out of the way, according to the military order of the prince, no one is allowed to stand on the bridge deck, everyone stays on the other side to block the short hair, if it can be repulsed, the emperor will be rewarded, now the official counts three times, and there are those who stay on the bridge deck, kill!" ”

"Three, two"

The soldiers at the bottom looked up, and sure enough, there was a black hole with a muzzle aimed at the bridge deck, and they didn't dare to shoot at it, and retreated to the other side to block the Democratic Alliance Army, because the military spirit was already chaotic, the soldiers could not find the generals, the soldiers could not find the soldiers, and no one was on the scene to command, so most of them jumped into the river out of instinct, and there were very few who automatically retreated, but there were only a few, seeing that their companions did not stop at all, how to stop the Democratic Alliance Army on their own? He also fled.

"Plop plop!" The water splashed in the river, from both sides of the bridge to the riverbank, regardless of whether it would swim or not, everyone jumped into the river.

"One!"

Accompanied by a long dragging word, the gunfire at the head of the city was loud, and the bridge deck was shot out of a puff of white smoke, except for a few dozen people who were slow to move and were shot and killed, most of them avoided in time. The bridge deck was empty.

The soldiers turned their heads again, and the drawbridge shook slightly. Slowly rising upwards.

Looking at this chaotic and noisy appearance, Zaiquan really shook his head angrily. But fortunately, the drawbridge can finally be raised, and the Democratic Alliance army has no siege equipment, how to break the city? Besides, as long as it is close to a distance of about 100 zhang below the city, the light artillery will fire shotguns, which is a large number of deaths!

Zaiquan breathed a sigh of relief and looked into the distance, where the Fengtai battalion was attacking the main position of the Democratic Alliance Army!

There were still more than 400 meters away from the city wall, and Wang Feng waved his hand violently: "Stop!" ”

This is mainly for the new Green Battalion to practice, and sure enough. Some of them rushed forward by inertia, and then pulled the old soldier back.

The soldiers untied their guns one after another, some of them fought flat, and the front suddenly screamed continuously, this is a live target, there is no need to aim, and the Qing army is either in the river or on the other side of the river, and it is impossible to turn back and fight hard!

The other part went to the head of the city. The city stomped on the sparks, Zaiquan immediately squatted down in fright, and Monk Greenqin and Mianyu said in unison that the guns of the Democratic Alliance Army could shoot 150 zhang, but he didn't believe it. But now I believed!

The Democratic Alliance stood outside the range of light artillery, which was also a dead end for the Hongyi artillery.

The Hongyi cannon wants to shoot at the NLD unless the muzzle is moved down. But firing at negative elevation angles, even modern artillery can't do it. And talk about the old cannon of the Qing Dynasty?

Listening to the sound of gunfire and screams from the city, Jaequan was completely helpless. Squatting behind the city with the defenders of the city, he didn't dare to poke his head, at most he secretly glanced down from the corner of his eye, and he could only look at it and move his face away.

Wang Feng looked at the slowly rising suspension bridge and stretched out his hand: "Bring the gun!" ”

One of the fighters hurriedly handed over the Minnie gun.

Wang Fengping stood up, aimed at the cable, and pulled the trigger!

"Bang!" The cable shook violently, and a gap appeared, but it was not broken, after all, the cable that could lift the suspension bridge was quite thick, but Wang Feng was not discouraged, he changed his gun again, aimed at the gap that was slowly moving up, and pulled the trigger again.

"Stretch!" With a bang, the cable broke, and the suspension bridge immediately lost its balance and hung in mid-air, making a creaking sound, Jiang Chaohui couldn't help but praise: "Commander-in-chief, good marksmanship!" ”

"It's over, bring the gun again!" Wang Feng smiled slightly, took the third gun, maybe the weight of the entire bridge was all hung on a cable, this time only one shot broke the rope, only to hear a loud bang, the suspension bridge slapped back to the river bank, stirring up dust!

Although Zaiquan couldn't see due to visual limitations, he could judge what was happening from the sound, and he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, and shouted repeatedly: "The whole army retreats to the urn city, and climbs the city to organize defense, if anyone dares to leave the urn city privately, this king will be the emperor to destroy him!" ”

A hasty order came out, and some people rushed down the tower, forcibly organized people, and anyone who did not obey the order was immediately hacked to death!

The urn city is about a few thousand square meters in circumference, surrounded by high walls, the relatively confined space can give people a sense of security, although the gunfire outside the city continues, there is still an endless stream of companions fleeing in, but after entering the urn city, the situation can gradually restore calm, after the law enforcement team killed dozens of people in a row, the soldiers climbed the city wall in an orderly manner, and the wall wall was full of rows and rows.

The drawbridge was destroyed, Zaiquan basically gave up the idea of defending the enemy outside the city wall, but instead relied on the urn city to arrange defenses, the Democratic League army guns are good, but the urn city is so big place, as long as the Democratic League army enters the city, it will immediately lose the advantage of firearms, and their own side is condescending, guns and cannons are fired, it may not be impossible to gather the Democratic Alliance army and annihilate it!

As if seeing the hope of reversing the shape, Zai Quan ordered the light artillery to be moved to the city walls on both sides, leaving it in front and not being able to hit the Democratic Alliance, so it was better to move away.

The defenders at the head of the city were also in good spirits, first the formation was chaotic by their own family, and they couldn't organize a defense at all, and then found that their guns couldn't go far, so they could only watch the Democratic Alliance Army release their guns at random across hundreds of feet, and they were very aggrieved in their hearts.
