Street fighting was rarely the case in ancient Chinese warfare, and as soon as the besieging troops broke through the city and began to enter the city, the defenders collapsed. There are only a few examples of battles in which the city has been prepared for a long time and deliberately opens the city gates to let the enemy in, in order to ambush and counterattack by surprise.

But at this moment, the Qing army in Tianjin City did not have this condition, and the city gate was broken in just a few minutes, so it can be said that the Qing army in the city was unprepared at this moment. The Qing troops defending the city gates everywhere were dumbfounded when they saw that the city gates were torn apart after a loud "boom". How can this city be defended? In the more than half an hour just now, the Mawei army kept shooting at the head of the city, and many of their comrades had been killed, and the soldiers defending the city did not dare to probe one by one. Now that the city gates are broken, what should I do?

The Qing generals at the gates of the city, the generals, the deputy generals, and the like are also at a loss, the city gates are broken, and the enemy army can immediately enter the city in a big way, whether they swear to resist to the death or flee with the troops, or surrender on the spot? This is a very tangled question, and the final decision will depend on the general's loyalty to the Qing court. After all, people are different, "Gongbei", "Zhendong", "Anxi", "Dingnan" four gates, except for the east gate of the town in the east has not been blasted at the moment, is still under the bombardment of artillery, the Qing generals have not made a decision, the other three city gates have moved.

The Gongbei Gate is facing the direction of the capital, if the Qing army in Tianjin wants to retreat or escape, the North Gate is the best choice, so Zeng Yang has the most Mawei troops arranged on the north gate. It reached six thousand people. When the great army was besieging the city before. Bing Guangyan, the Qing army's guard at the Gongbei Gate, and Bing Guangyan, the deputy general of the Qing court's Tianjin Guard, observed the scale of the Mawei Army clearly. When the Mawei Army sent troops to hunt down the defenders of the city, he realized that they might not be able to hold the city. Bing Guangyan was not as loyal to the Qing court as Zhao Liangdong, the former Tianjin commander-in-chief, and he was very utilitarian, but his ability was indeed worse than Zhao Liangdong. After Zhao Liangdong was transferred, he thought that the post of Tianjin General Army should belong to him, but he didn't expect that the military department above would directly parachute a Fan Zhenlang down, which disappointed his expectations.

"Brethren, the Mawei Army is strong. The city gate can be broken in the blink of an eye, and the Mawei army is far more powerful than us, and the general is determined to put down his weapons and ask the Mawei army to surrender, do you brothers have any objections? Bing Guangyan stood on the tower of the city gate and shouted loudly to the many Qing troops on the left and right and in front of him.

"It's down, we are all Han people, what is the matter of Han people beating Han people! Now that the Mawei Army has hit Tianjin City, they are strong and strong, and it is easy to take Tianjin City, but if we fight it, our brothers will die, and it is not worth it! ”

"The Ponytail Army can fight here. It is estimated that it will only be a matter of time before the capital is taken, and the Tartar court will not be able to jump for a few days. Brothers, let's turn it back together! As soon as Bing Guangyan's words fell, several of his cronies and officers immediately chimed in.

Those ordinary sergeants below usually only know that they are quite ordered, and the leaders above have decided to surrender, what else can they say about these little pawns? It's also fortunate that they are all big-headed soldiers, and if there are some scholars here, if their minds are pedantic enough, they will definitely make trouble again. For these ordinary soldiers, anything loyal to the Qing Dynasty and loyal to the court or something is, whoever pays the silver they will listen to whomever order, and it is natural that they should be paid as soldiers, as for the rest, they basically haven't thought about it. Anyway, now they are surrendering, and they are not rebelling, or in the future, the imperial army will fight back, and they will surrender again.

This time it was the troops of the Fourth Division of the Mawei Army who were in charge of the North Gate, and the Fourth Division had only been established for two years, but its power should not be underestimated. In Jiangxi, he fought several battles with the Qing army, and also wiped out the mountain bandits and bandits in Jiangxi and the two provinces in southern Zhejiang, and the actual combat experience also came up. It's just that the soldiers of the Fourth Division have not experienced large-scale battles, and this time they just took the opportunity. Jin Yinghu, the commander of the Fourth Division, is also the old man of Geng Jiajun, but his age is not as old as Zeng Yang's, he entered the army with his uncle at the age of sixteen, and now he is twenty-two years old.

"There are also people in this Qing army who understand, and they know a lot of our opponents, so they took the initiative to surrender!" Jin Yinghu said with a smile.

"Master, it's good to surrender, let's save trouble, don't we. Hmph, the general who led the army is also clever, otherwise I would have to ask them to eat a few more beans. Fu Biao, the commander of the First Brigade of the Fourth Division, followed and said, in his opinion, the defenders of the North Gate had taken advantage, otherwise, the soldiers of the Mawei Army around them would definitely use their rifles to sue them and resist the fate of the Mawei Army's heavenly soldiers.

"Bing Guangyan, the general of the defeated army, please take it in from the general!" Bing Guangyan, deputy chief soldier of Tianjin, took a group of generals under his command and knelt on one knee on the ground to ask Jin Yinghu to surrender. The surrounding Qing soldiers and soldiers are also quite neat, but the weapons are all piled up in the left corner at the moment, and it seems that they have indeed surrendered.

"Alas, what did General Bing say. At this moment, General Bing can abandon the darkness and turn to the light, we welcome it, we will be a family in the future, and we will not say kind words. Now the time is urgent, and the commander has ordered that Tianjin City must be taken as quickly as possible. Next, I have to trouble General Bing to send someone to assist! Jin Yinghu hurriedly walked a few steps quickly, came to Bing Guangyan, helped him up with both hands, and said. Rise up with all the other brethren, for I, the Mawei Army, have never rejected the Surrender Army. The Metropolitan Governor has long said that everyone is Han Chinese, descendants of Yan and Huang, and they should not kill each other unless they have to. ”

Bing Guangyan and the others were also quite emotional when they heard this, they originally thought that they would be looked down upon or harassed, and then they would be taken aside and wait for the post-war treatment, who would have expected that it would be the current situation. "The last general will definitely die for the governor of the capital!"

"General Bing hurriedly said, where is the most heavily defended in Tianjin City at this moment, that is, where is the most difficult place to bite?"

"Well, Tianjin Weisi Gate, there are 4,000 soldiers and horses at the north gate of this arch, there are only 3,000 soldiers at the west gate and south gate, and the east gate of the town is the most, and the general soldier Fan Zhenlang and Prince Kang Jieshu are all over there, and there are more than 7,000 soldiers under his command. There were no troops left in the other cities. As for the west gate and the south gate. Most of them are soldiers and horses under the command of the patrol imperial history. The combat power is not strong, but there are also 500 elite cavalry of Tianjin Wei at the south gate, if the division commander can trust me, the last general is willing to go to the west and south gates to recruit them! ”

"This estimate is not needed, the gates on both sides have been blown up, and it is estimated that at this time, my Mawei army has also been killed. Okay, time is pressing, let's hurry up. Fu Biao and Bing Guangyan listened to orders. ”

"In!"

"The last general!"

"Command your troops to go straight to the east gate of the town. Killing Fan Zhenlang and Prince Nakang from behind was caught off guard. Cooperate with the army outside the city to kill in, and the inside should be combined with the outside to destroy the enemy army. Of course, it would be better if Fan Zhenlang and Jie Shu could be captured alive! ”

"Order!"

"Rush!" On the south side of the gate, the Qing army guard is the patrol Yushi himself. Let's say that this patrol imperial history is a person from the top four of Manchuria under the white flag, whose surname is Namudulu, and his name is Namudulu. Suo Chao, known as Suo Er. He is full of people, and even if the city is broken, he will definitely not be able to fall into the good even if he surrenders. So he ordered his men to charge outside the city, in a vain attempt to kill the Mawei army. He didn't rush out himself. But several house slave guards around him were indeed sent out by him, and they rushed out of the city gate first.

The Mawei Army was also very close to the city gate at the moment, but it was less than a hundred meters away. And at the moment in Namudulu. In the eyes of Suo Chao and the others, the distance between the two is only more than a hundred steps and less than a hundred meters, and a dozen breaths can rush in front of the Mawei Army, their strength is not less than that of the Mawei Army here, and there is still a chance. The people who were at the forefront of the impact were all his cronies, and they were also the elite of all the soldiers and horses, and they did not hesitate to send them at this moment.

The soldiers and horses under his command, especially the army of more than 800 people in front of him, were different from the ordinary patrol army, they were similar to the personal guards of the generals in the pre-Ming period, and the equipment was the best, among them there were many archers, and there were 200 people who were equipped with sophisticated firearms, and the number of firecrackers was close to a quarter of the strength of their elite troops. The musket used by this musketeer is not the bird gun used by the former Ming army, but the high-grade musket that he obtained from the imperial court as a supervisor, and the craftsman definitely put his heart into it when it was built, and the materials are all fine iron, and there has been no explosion of the chamber in the past year. Moreover, the power of these muskets is indeed much better than that of ordinary bird guns, and the range is much farther, at least at a distance of fifty or sixty meters, and the lethality is very considerable.

There were also firearms in other armies of the Qing court, the most of which were shotguns, and the others were three-eyed guns or something, and finally there were muskets like the ones held by these Qing troops, which were modeled after the muskets of Westerners, and they were only imitated after the rebellion of Wu Sangui and Geng Jingzhong. Needless to say, the shotgun can only be fired once in almost two minutes, and although the three-eyed gun can fire three projectiles in a row at a time, and the projectile density is higher than that of a single-shot shotgun when firing together, but this thing is generally not practical, the range is too pitiful, and the effective armor-piercing range is no more than thirty steps, that is, twenty meters, so the power is not as good as using a bow and arrow.

Although the range of the bird gun is much better than the three-eyed gun, it is still a lot worse than the Western musket, if compared with the new flintlock rifling gun that the Mawei Army is currently equipped with in large quantities, it has been thrown off eight streets in terms of range and power! Compared with the Qing army, which took a shot with a gun and then loaded it cumbersomely, the Mawei army was much more relaxed. The Mawei Army's current standard rifle is not only far less trouble-free than the Qing army, but also much stronger than the Qing army in terms of accuracy. As early as three and a half years ago, the Mawei Army invented and adopted a butt design that can shoot against the shoulder, which made the hit rate of the Mawei soldiers greatly improved again, which also made the horsetail army's firepower more powerful.

The soldiers of the Mawei Army in the front row saw that the Qing army rushing up from the opposite side set up a three-stage shooting formation at the gate of the city, and immediately shot a row of guns, and many of the Qing troops in the former Ming Dynasty fell to the ground. In a panic, these Qing musketeers with muskets in their hands were even slower, and a few Qing soldiers were faster, but after they were loaded, they only raised their guns and fired for a long time, leaving their arrays behind. The soldiers of the Mawei Army saw that these Qing soldiers were also toddlers in Handan, followed their example, and finally made it like this, it was really as funny as it was! Although the defenders of the Qing army are not copying the Mawei Army, but in their appearance, they are indeed despised by the Mawei Army, and there is no formation of the musket team at all.

Seeing the Qing army rushing over, the Mawei Army did not panic, and still moved forward steadily, and the formation was maintained quite neatly.

"Shoot!"

The gunfire of the front troops of the Qing army that rushed up also rang out for a while, and some of them had already begun to draw their bows and shoot arrows, so the Mawei army also gave the order to shoot again.

"Bang Bang Bang"

"Bang Bang Bang"

"Bang Bang Bang"

A series of gunshots rang out, and the rifles of the Mawei Army were not comparable to the old-fashioned muskets on the other side. The guns on the Mawei Army's side were already fast, and the number of guns was large, and most of the nearly 500 Qing troops who rushed in front immediately fell. But in the end, a large number of troops continued to pour out of the city, and after the Mawei army fired three shots, the number of troops rushing out had exceeded 3,000. In other words, all the Qing defenders at the south gate were out of the city, and the main forces of the two armies were less than eighty meters apart, and the tragic hand-to-hand combat seemed to be about to begin.

The cavalry units of the Qing army that came from behind the army also left the city at this moment, but they were the first to come, and they quickly swept by the side and quickly ran to the front of the foot soldiers. This unlucky moment was not the Qing infantry who rushed forward quickly, but the only few hundred elite cavalry in these Tianjin guards. It can be said that the combat quality of defeating the cavalry of relatives must not be said, otherwise he would not have been selected to become a cavalryman. But this moment is destined to be a tragedy!

The goal of the horses is much larger than that of people, and the cavalry who are rushing forward see that the horsetail army is in front of them, and their saber is about to cut through the enemy's neck, but there is a dense thud like a firecracker in their ears, and then they feel a numbness in their chest, and then the strength in their bodies is as if they have been withdrawn, and the knife in their hands cannot be lifted, and they fall off the horse. More often than not, the horses chirped in ash and then crashed to the ground with a thud and threw the cavalry on their backs far away.

"Tom Tom"

"Tom Tom"

"Tom Tom"

The artillerymen, who had been waiting for an opportunity to make a move, had seized their chance. These twenty three-pounder cannons have long been ready to fire, although these three-pounder cannons are small, they are also cannons, and twenty scattered bullets are fired out so quickly, these scattered bullets are the same as the soldiers' rifle mini bullets, which are wantonly harvesting the lives of the Qing army. For a while, bullets were as dense as hail raindrops, shooting towards the Qing army, and in the army formation that rushed up, rows of soldiers immediately fell to the ground and died. Although those Qing soldiers and archers were also shooting arrows at the Mawei soldiers, their bows and arrows were small in number and powerless, and the damage to the Mawei Army was minimal.
