This night, Duoduo heard that there was movement in the north, south, east and west of Kaifeng City, so he hurriedly got up and rode his horse to the outside of the account.

At this time, Turai also came on horseback: "Lord Wang, it's just a few enemies out of the city, and they don't love to fight, they fled in a hurry at night, I'm afraid that they are going to ventilate and report the news, Zhu Youzhen's yellow umbrella cover is still on the city wall, and he shouldn't have left the city yet." ”

"The emperor is trapped here, so he naturally wants to send reinforcements, just right, when he Zhu Youzhen transfers his guards here, it is good to fight it here, and the province's long-distance march to Jiangnan."

Duoduo said and then ordered: "Continue to strengthen the vigilance, early tomorrow morning, the other two Qing armies of the division will immediately join forces with the Chinese army to encircle Kaifeng, and be sure to ensure that before Kaifeng City is broken, Zhu Youzhen cannot escape from Kaifeng City!" ”

Early the next morning, 100,000 Qing troops really began to move towards Kaifeng City, and they had surrounded Kaifeng City.

At the same time, Duoduo had also begun to order Geng Zhongming and Shang Kexi to line up the two hundred red-clothed cannons that had been transported to the designated location, aiming at Kaifeng City was a round of shelling.

The city wall of Kaifeng City really couldn't withstand the bombardment of hundreds of red-coated cannons, and it collapsed in an instant.

Shang Kexi, who was in charge of the main attack, immediately ordered the Han soldiers of the Qing army under his command to rush over with the wooden bridge first, so that the moat was completely unable to stop the offensive of the Qing army, and as soon as the Han soldiers of the Qing army built the pontoon bridge, Turai first led the Eight Banners armor soldiers to rush into Kaifeng City, shouting to kill the Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen.

However, when Turai rushed into the outer city, he saw a two-meter-wide trench in front of him, and under the trench was an upside-down wooden tip.

Turai had to order his armored soldiers (most of the white-armored soldiers had lost most of them, mainly the red-armored soldiers) to stop, and looked at the trench in front of him very depressedly: "It's this set again, who is this Ming court official guarding the city, I can't wait to kill him!" ”

Duoduo also came at this time, and saw that there was no Huang Luo umbrella in Kaifeng City, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Where did Zhu Youzhen go!" ”

"Don't worry, don't worry, wait for the slave to ask", Geng Zhongming shouted as he said: "Emperor Zhu Youzhen of the Ming Dynasty, now that my Wang Shi is coming south, I should persuade you to surrender quickly, otherwise when my army breaks the city, you will be killed in Kaifeng City!" ”

"My Majesty the Ming Emperor has been evacuated safely, Duoduo, you don't really think that my Majesty the Ming Emperor will really play with you here, hahaha!"

Lu Daqi laughed, and decisively ordered his officers and soldiers to counterattack immediately, and in an instant, countless birds, guns, bullets, bows and arrows came towards Duoduo.

Duoduo withdrew from the outer city with the Qing army without thinking about it, but as soon as he returned, he angrily cut off his desk and scolded: "The hateful Zhu Youzhen, I have been delayed here for ten days in vain!" ”

"The prince is angry, since Zhu Youzhen has fled, there is no need for Kaifeng City to besiege and not attack, and Zhu Youzhen must not have run far, we should immediately pursue it!"

Shang Kexi persuaded from the side at this time.

Duoduo also nodded approvingly: "Pass the order to Geng Zhongming, continue to bombard Kaifeng City, and Kaifeng City must be taken within three days!" This king is going to slaughter Kaifeng City! ”

The Qing army once again used the red-clothed cannon to blast open the gate of Kaifeng City, and Lu Daqi had to retreat into the city and ordered the officials and people to block it with the help of the Qing army in the city.

Fortunately, the city was destroyed by Lu Daqi, and there were moats everywhere, and because Li Zicheng flooded Kaifeng before, the city was full of silt, so the Qing cavalry could not play an advantage in the city, and Lu Daqi could also lead the Ming army defending the city to carry out a certain resistance to the Qing army.

At sunset, after the Qing army's offensive went down, Lu Daqi did not fall in love with the battle, but immediately broke through with tens of thousands of officers and soldiers defending the city.

However, at this time, the pockets of the Qing army around Kaifeng were basically tightened, so it was much more difficult for Lu Daqi to escape from Kaifeng than when Zhu Youzhen went out, and most of the more than 20,000 Ming troops and people were killed by the Qing army, except for only a few thousand people who followed Lu Daqi to break out.

Early the next morning, Duoduo's army completely occupied Kaifeng.

However, at this time, there was no longer any population in Kaifeng City, and the ordnance, money, grain, cloth and other materials had already been transported away by Lu Daqi a few days ago.

Duoduo had the anger of slaughtering the city, but there was no place to slaughter the city, so he had to order Tulai to search around for the scattered remnants of the Ming army and the people to be killed, as if this was not enough to extinguish the anger in his heart.

However, Duoduo only stayed in Kaifeng City for one day, and in order to pursue Zhu Youzhen, he immediately came to Guide Mansion.

……

Zhu Youzhen did not stay in Guide Mansion, but only ordered the prefect of Guide Mansion to leave an edict for Lu Daqi, who was about to evacuate to Guide Mansion.

Zhu Youzhen knew that Yi Duoduo was eager to track down his whereabouts at this time, and he would soon send multiple cavalry to pursue him, and now the only direction he could withdraw from Guide Mansion to Fengyang, the central capital.

Therefore, Zhu Youzhen could only run non-stop along the way, and soon arrived at Fengyang City.

At this point, Zhu Youzhen did not stop.

Li Banghua, the governor of the Third Army of the Guards, and Liu Fangliang, the commander-in-chief, also immediately took Zhu Youzhen into the city.

It was the morning of the seventh day of the first month of April, and Zhu Youzhen had just entered Fengyang City with his front foot, and it was pouring rain on his back foot.

The entire Jiangbei seemed to be shrouded in a haze by rain and fog in an instant, so that Zhu Youzhen could no longer hear the cannon sound from the Qing army Jiannu.

However, Zhu Youzhen could feel that after being provoked by himself, the Qing army's Duoduo Department was afraid that it would not hesitate to bombard the cities along the way from Guide Mansion to Fengyang in the Ming Dynasty at any cost of shells than before.

Zhu Youzhen immediately summoned Li Banghua and Liu Fangliang: "Now the Jiannu Duoduo Department should have attacked the city of Guidefu, and from Guide Mansion to Fengyang, only separated by the three cities of Xiayi, Yongcheng and Suzhou, the Third Army can be arranged in accordance with the previous resolution of the Generalissimo's Mansion. ”

"Back to Your Majesty, it has been arranged, the main force of the First Corps of the Third Army has been transferred to Mengcheng, and the main force of the Second Corps has been transferred to Dingyuan, if the Duoduo Department does not follow our plan to go south through Shouzhou and Chuzhou to attack Nanjing after occupying Suzhou, it will inevitably pass through Mengcheng, and my First Corps will inflict a heavy blow on him in Mengcheng, prompting him to continue to attack Fengyang, if he hopes to go straight down to Jiangpu from Zhongdu to attack Nanjing after occupying Fengyang, my First Corps will naturally fight back in Dingyuan!"

As soon as Liu Fangliang said this, Zhu Youzhen nodded: "Duoduo is now only bent on pursuing me and occupying Nanjing City, and he will definitely not fall in love with the war, and once he is frustrated in Mengcheng or Dingyuan, he will inevitably have to go Yangzhou from Sizhou, and then go south to Zhenjiang!" At that time, the First Guards Army will rush to Huai'an from Xuzhou and Zaozhuang, and the Second Army of the Guards will also go north against the river, and your Third Army will gather in Fengyang and quickly rush to Yangzhou. ”
