Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

Zhangdefu City is a classical Chinese city, the buildings inside are all civil structures, once ignited, the fire will soon spread to the entire block, plus the winter weather is dry, although there is snow, but it is not enough to stop the fire from burning. Therefore, the rockets fired by Xia Jun quickly led to dozens of ignition points in Anyang City.

When the fire in the city had just ignited, the Qing army still tried to extinguish the fire, but at this time, the Xia army's rockets were still shooting into the city. Because the rocket itself has a certain lethality, the Qing army was too busy to take care of itself for a while, even if there were Green Flag soldiers and people who risked their lives to fight the fire under the persecution of the Eight Banner Commanders, but this side has not been extinguished, and that side has begun to burn again.

By the time the Xia army's 5,000 rockets were fired, the city was completely out of control, and the raging fire engulfed the entire city, except for the empty area that had been demolished in advance for war purposes near the city wall, the city of Anyang was burning everywhere. The large amount of oxygen consumed even formed a terrible cyclone, sucking in the nearby unfixed items one after another, and the Qing army and civilians who could not escape in time became an accelerant for human flesh??????

Countless Qing troops stationed in the city ran desperately to the city wall, and countless people were trampled to death after falling, but the number of Qing troops in the city was too many, and the fire isolation belt within a hundred feet of the city wall was already full of people, so they had no choice but to continue to squeeze on the city wall. At this moment, the pillars supported in the enemy tower that had been ignited before could no longer bear the weight of the enemy tower itself, and collapsed violently, crushing hundreds of Qing troops who had managed to escape from the fire in full view.

Some of the Green Flag soldiers began to clamour, and soon clashed with the flag soldiers, and the two sides fought against the backdrop of the fire.

Soon, the brawl evolved into a fight, and the officials at all levels could not be suppressed, and seeing the battle gradually expanding from the side of the city wall to the city wall, the officers and soldiers of Xia who were enjoying the fire in the city were surprised and applauded again and again.

In the beginning, there was a battle between the Green Flag Soldiers and the Flag Soldiers, and then the Green Flag Soldiers fought each other for a position to avoid the fire. A qiē appears impulsive and disorderly, as if the bestiality of humans has overwhelmed humanity in an instant, and only by constantly waving a knife can he survive in the herd of beasts.

The fire burned all night, and the brawl led to a civil war that lasted all night. After dawn, the order in the city was slowly restored, and Yinxiang, who was strictly protected by the guards, also came forward. In the case of this elder brother himself, the remnants of the army will be gathered, but the number of surviving soldiers is less than 20,000, and a full 50,000 people have disappeared in the chaos of last night's fire and the fire.

To add insult to injury, the grain hoarded in the city was no longer there, and although the fire did not burn down the stone granary, the high temperature had boiled the grain into rice, and there was no way to preserve it. The same is true of the armory, the fire is not burned from the outside, but the high temperature causes the hoarding of gunpowder inside to explode, thus destroying a qiē; The water in the well in the city was also polluted, and countless people had to jump into the well to take shelter because they did not have time to get out of the fire area, but they were cooked raw??????

There was no food, no drink, no ordnance, and more importantly, Yinxiang saw timidity and exhaustion from the faces of the remaining Qing officers and soldiers, which made him sigh uncontrollably. In another time and space, Yinxiang is known as the "King of Heroes" and has the temperament of a hero, and it is the same now, so after calculating the time, he finally made a decision.

"Begging?" Sun Yu looked coldly at the Qing army envoy standing with his fists in front of him, and a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "It's been more than 70 days, why don't you continue to resist stubbornly?"

"General, the reason why our army insists on not surrendering is not because we don't know that the battle situation has been unfavorable to the Qing Dynasty, but because it is to preserve the last bit of strength of the Qing Dynasty." Sun Yu understood the meaning, the so-called last force obviously did not refer to the lone army in the city. "It's been more than two months now, and those who should have fled have already fled, and those who can't escape should have been annihilated by your side a long time ago, so in order to save the lives of the soldiers in the city, the thirteenth elder brother decided to open the city." The messenger tried to respond without humility or arrogance. "It's just that there is still a condition for our army to surrender, please ensure the lives of our soldiers and soldiers, as for the thirteenth elder brother himself, he doesn't care about life and death."

When Sun Yu heard this, he glanced at the other party carefully, and then laughed: "It's really bold, I didn't expect it to be the thirteenth elder brother who came in person, and I don't want to invite Bei Ziye to sit down." ”

The envoy is Yinxiang himself, he didn't feel that the other party recognized him as any surprise, and when he saw Sun Yuci's seat at this moment, he sat down unceremoniously, in this regard, Sun Yupi asked with a smile: "Thirteenth master, aren't you afraid that after the official detains you at this moment, he will send troops to attack Anyang City?" ”

"This general, you could have taken Anyang without spending a single soldier, but you want to cut off the life of everyone in the city, isn't it possible to be afraid that my Qing soldiers and poor rats will fight back?" Yinxiang responded as steadily as Mount Tai. "Or do adults think that your Xia Jun was not born and raised by your father, so you don't have to care at all?"

"Master Bei is a good tongue." Sun Yu stated calmly. "There was chaos overnight, and it was clear from outside the city, and tens of thousands of panicked troops didn't know how long they could be my heavenly army." Speaking of this, Sun Yu sneered. "Of course, it's also a good thing to be able to stop killing and wounding soldiers, but isn't the thirteenth elder brother afraid that this official will turn his face afterwards?"

"Are you saying that you are going to kill?" Yinxiang also laughed. "It's just right, just let the soldiers of the Eight Banners know that there is no way to live by begging to surrender to your court, even if they die, they will die on the battlefield."

"Brother Thirteen is too confident." Sun Yu shook his head. "If tens of thousands of people are killed, they will be killed, how can the news spread, even if it spreads and reaches your ears, it is estimated that your court will no longer exist." In order to completely dispel Yinxiang's remaining rebelliousness, Sun Yu told the truth. "Don't hide it from the thirteenth elder brother, the two-way army you are counting on has been wiped out, your fourth brother Yinzhen and your eldest brother Yinzhen have been awarded one after another, even Beijing City was recovered two months ago, your father Emperor Kangxi burned himself in the Forbidden City, it can be said that the Qing Dynasty has died!"

What Sun Yu said, Yinxiang had already known from the propaganda leaflets that Xia Jun sprinkled into Anyang City. It's just that he has always thought that this is a trick by the Xia army to shake the hearts of his own army, and he has never really believed it. But at this time, when he heard Sun Yu cautiously mention it again in front of him, his face finally turned pale, and a pair of eyes stared at Sun Yu's face, trying to see a trace of falsification from the other party's face, but unfortunately, only Sun Yu's triumphant face came into Yinxiang's eyes.

"The Qing Dynasty is dead! The Qing Dynasty is dead! No, it can't be, it can't be! Yinxiang's eyes became firm. Even if Huang Ama burned himself and martyred the country, even if the crown prince and the king of Yongjun were wiped out, the Qing Dynasty would still be related to the homeland abroad, besides, Yinyu and Yinyu, didn't you catch it? As long as they are alive, the Qing Dynasty will have a chance to make a comeback. ”

"So that the thirteenth elder brother knows that our army has already drunk the banks of the Maliao River." Regarding Yinxiang's escape, Sun Yu knew about it early in the morning from Yide, the political envoy of Hebei Province, so it is not surprising. "It's just because it's cold that I didn't immediately march to Fengtian City, and how many people and horses there are in the Qing army outside the gate, the thirteenth elder brother also knows it in his heart, the thirteenth elder brother thinks that with only tens of thousands of people, can he stop hundreds of thousands of tigers in our army?"

"It can't be stopped, it's not just a matter of saying a few words, it's vast outside the gate, whether it's more than 100,000 people, or hundreds of thousands of people, it's just an inconspicuous group of people who are sprinkled inside like pepper noodles. Besides. Yinxiang shot back without showing weakness. Hundreds of thousands of people went north, does your imperial court have so much food to support? ”

"Grain?" Sun Yu laughed out loud. "What I lack most in the DPRK is not food, Yinxiang, you probably don't know it, there are more than 100,000 tons of grain transported from Siam, Annam, Vietnam, Japan, and North Korea a year, and you can't eat it all when you eat it openly, not to mention the blessing of Kangxi, Guanwai is not a barren land now, there are so many states and counties that supply food nearby, what else is our army worried about?"

Of course, Yinxiang knew that the ton was the new weight unit in Huaxia, one ton was equal to 100 stones, and more than 100,000 tons was tens of millions of stones, this number made him very suspicious, but he didn't start from this aspect, but just asked: "The grain is cheap and hurts the peasants, and your court is perverse, I'm afraid that the country will not last too long." ”

Hearing Yinxiang's ridicule of the Chinese government, Sun Yu suddenly sank his face: "Yinxiang, the official won't rub his tongue with you, you want to surrender, yes, the official can guarantee that he will not surrender afterwards, but the court has a clear order, for the Manchus and traitors to be liquidated, the group of people in Anyang City must be punished for several years of hard labor, if you can accept this, you just lead them to surrender, if you can't accept it, you go back and lead them to continue to resist, and the official will be wiped out." ”

Yinxiang looked at Sun Yu in surprise: "What?" Now that you know the identity of Brother Ben, will you let me go back? ”

"What's the big deal if you go back, Anyang City can't escape, and the saint won't blame the official for arsoning with the enemy if he knows it." Sun Yucheng said in his chest. "What's more, if this official really wants to attack Anyang City, how much more can he spend? By the way, Thirteenth Elder Brother, you have to lead them out alive, otherwise you don't have to stay??????"

On the third day of November in the 14th year of Wucheng in Huaxia (the first year of Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty), the remnants of the Qing army in the city of Zhangde Mansion surrendered to Sun Yu, the chief general of the Xia army, under the leadership of Yinxiang. Immediately, Zheng Kezhang gave instructions that more than 20,000 disarmed Qing troops were sent to the Taipingfu Iron Mine and the Shilu and Sanya mining areas in Qiongzhou; Yinxiang himself was escorted to Taiyuan to persuade the defender to open the city.

Twenty days later, Yinxiang arrived in Taiyuan, and then entered the city to surrender. The governor of Shanxi and Yanmen in the Qing Dynasty, Po Erpen, then committed suicide in the yamen of the governor of Shanxi, and Yinxiang led the governor of Shanxi, A Xitai, and the political envoy Tu Yun to surrender to the Xia army siege troops, and the whole territory of Shanxi was somewhat recovered??????
