1o-3o The Heavens descended to the mortal world

After ten days of rest, the renovation of the Sky City was finally completed, and the army was almost rested, and one day at the end of August, the Ming army officially launched an attack on Beijing.

Beijing is a great city, the Liao Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty were once set here, the Mongols entered the Central Plains, named the city Dadu, and since then replaced Xi'an, Luoyang, Kaifeng and other cities, and became the political center of China, after the fall of the Yuan Dynasty, Nanjing once became the capital, but after the Battle of Jingjing, the capital will still be set in Beijing, and the Yongle Emperor built a magnificent palace and towering city walls, Beijing is the capital, and as a military town, to deter the northern nomads, at the end of the Northern Ming Dynasty, the beacon smoke is everywhere, the court can not bear the hardships to support, The entire capital was moved to Nanjing, and a city was given to the Manchu Qing Dynasty in its entirety.

The Qing Dynasty took over Beijing completely, directly followed the imperial palace of the Ming Dynasty, the Beijing Imperial Palace is the most magnificent and exquisite palace in the past dynasties, and the landlord's mansion in Shengjing that has been burned by Liu Ziguang has a world of difference, the soil buns from the white mountains and black water received the large and small mansions in Beijing, happy or something, even did not repair and lived in, these years the Manchu court is also incorruptible, did not spend the silver tax on the construction of any summer resort, but vigorously rebuilt the city wall, The outer city of Beijing that was not completed in the Ming Dynasty was perfected, heightened, and thickened, and the thickness of the city wall of Beijing was as high as ten zhang, and it was difficult to collapse even if the artillery of the Red Shirt Army was continuously bombarded.

The strong city wall, sufficient grain and grass water, and the same sharp firearms, is the guarantee of Kangxi's confidence, Beijing city is a hundred miles around, with the red shirt army that people can not surround at all, although the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal to Shandong has been cut off, but the road to Shanxi and Mongolia is still smooth, Beijing is far from the point of exhaustion.

Liu Ziguang knows the enemy's strengths and his own shortcomings, although the artillery is sharp, but it is still unable to deal with the city wall built by the ancients with an almost perverted method, according to the records of the Ministry of Industry, the construction of the Beijing city wall used a large amount of glutinous rice juice and egg white as a binder, and the wall bricks are huge green bricks made of Bozhou soil, the texture is very good, and it is not inferior to the fortifications of reinforced concrete.

The city of Beijing is square, with a circumference of more than 60 miles, with Liu Ziguang's 20,000 horses and horses can not be surrounded at all, and the strong attack is even more nonsense, the people's military books have said, ten times and attack, there are at least 130,000 troops in the city now, the red shirt army can't even catch up with a fraction of the people's troops, what to attack, that is, the strength is enough, Liu Ziguang is also very opposed to this primitive and backward tactics, the casualty rate of the ladder climbing the city is too large, not in line with his tactical thinking.

If the Qing army sends cavalry to try to harass, the information can be immediately reported to the Red Shirt General Staff, and Li Yan will send cavalry to intercept and kill according to the situation.

To the north of Beijing, the Red Shirts did not arrange to detect balloons, but directly sent a team of elite cavalry, the general of this cavalry is Zamuhe, and the members are also Mongolian soldiers, but these people are all soldiers of the Chahar tribe, and they are the mortal enemies of the Horqin Department and the Manchu Qing.

Liu Ziguang gave Zamuhe a new identity, saying that it was Lin Dan Khan's half-brother, anyway, this matter can no longer be investigated, whose fist is hard whose words are the truth, this cavalry did not play the banner of the Ming army, and used the banner of Chahar Fu**, but the weapons and armor are all standard red-shirt army equipment, which is naturally rampant in the Mongolian steppe, and the elite soldiers of Horqin are all on the battlefield in Shandong, who is their opponent, Zhamu and everywhere he goes, the herdsmen of the original Chahar Department descend from the wind, ride horses, and pick up bows and arrows, Following Lin Dan Khan's younger brother into the vigorous Great Mongol Restoration Movement, the 1,000 cavalry snowballed to 3,000 in just a few days, and there was a tendency to get bigger and bigger.

Ready to stop, the Red Shirts finally started, but they did not send a single soldier to the city of Beijing, this time the protagonist of the singing is the city in the sky.

Early in the morning, a team of well-armored Jianrui battalion soldiers were carrying arquebuses to patrol on the Yongding Gate city wall, suddenly a burst of music came, looking around but nothing appeared, the soldiers suspected that their ears were wrong, but the music was getting clearer and clearer, it was an extremely pleasant and beautiful sound of silk and bamboo, like fairy music, and gradually everyone's eyes were focused on the clouds, and the fairy music seemed to come from there.

A huge and friendless, indescribable thing slowly floated out of the clouds, this thing seems to be a lotus throne, but look at the size of the square and a hundred feet, such a huge lotus throne, could it be Guanyin Bodhisattva descending to earth?

Look closely, the lotus throne is sprinkled with golden light, a magnificent palace stands on it, from the pillar steps to the cornices are made of gold, it is really magnificent and extraordinary, shocking, the auspicious clouds float around the treasure hall, adding more charm.

Some officers and soldiers with clairvoyant mirrors hurriedly raised their clairvoyant mirrors to observe, only to see that on the heavenly steps on both sides of the golden palace, there were two rows of gold-armored warriors, a water of pure gold armor, holding a golden gourd axe, and on the platform in front of the golden palace, a fairy in white clothes was dancing, and the sound of silk and bamboo drums was the music that accompanied her.

"Heavenly Court! Chang'e! Heavenly Soldiers! Seeing this scene, the Qing officers and soldiers couldn't help but think of these terms, the heavenly court descended on the world, what a shock, everyone knelt down in unison, and prayed sincerely to the Jade Emperor to bless the Qing Dynasty for thousands of generations.

This heavenly palace is Liu Ziguang's sky city refitted, the Ming army spent ten days, invited hundreds of painters, painters, carpenters, and incense candles paper horse shop to tie paper people and paper horses masters, the fairing of the sky city is depicted as a lotus throne, the flight deck with wooden and cardboard built into the Lingxiao Treasure Palace, the craftsmen are exquisitely crafted, and the outside of the paper shell treasure hall is powdered with a layer of gold paint, not to mention that it is far away, even if it is close to see it is also lifelike.

As for those heavenly soldiers and generals, they are served by the honor guard of the red-shirted army, the armor is the gold armor used for ceremonies, and the weapons are also specially made vermilion lacquer rod axes and gold melons, which look majestic and majestic, but in fact, they are useless. Dancing Chang'e is Dong Xiaowan Dong everyone cameo, she wore a light veil as thin as cicada wings, dancing in the sky, the mood is also very excited, the artist is like this, it is easy to be infected by the environment, at this moment Dong Xiaowan really feels that she is Chang'e in the Moon Palace, she is very involved in dancing, the wind is strong in the sky, and the white ribbon is floating around her, showing a fairy temperament that does not eat the world.

The Sky City hovered outside the Yongding Gate, deliberately lowering the height, so that the people on the city tower could see this cardboard Lingxiao Treasure Palace, Chang'e dancing is just a prelude, and there are wonderful scenes in the back, the Four Heavenly Kings, the Three Qing Daoists, Guanyin Pizza, and the Eighteen Arhats are all doing the final touch-up in the back, Liu Ziguang invited so many troupes not only for the singing hall, but for them to perform this big drama is the real purpose.

A vision fell from the sky, the defenders of Yongding Gate were all prostrate on the ground, chanting words, then there were still people who dared to shoot arrows and blasphemy, but there were also those who knew in their hearts, understanding that this was the trick of the Ming army, Peng Chun was now the general in charge of Yongding Gate, he roared loudly and asked the soldiers to open fire, but no one obeyed his command, Peng Chun was anxious, personally operated the cannon shooting, Yongding Gate was equipped with the most advanced weapon of the Qing army, the red-coated cannon, which was designed by Nan Huairen, and the Kangxi Emperor personally supervised the production of copper artillery, shooting solid iron egg balls, However, Peng Chun did not estimate the range in a hurry, and the "Lingxiao Treasure Palace" was hit with a bang

The edge of the ground fell to the ground before it was touched.

However, the artillery bombardment of the Qing army also frightened Liu Ziguang, fortunately, in order to maintain the mystery, the sky city was not too close to Yongding Gate, kept at a distance of five hundred zhang, and the Qing army's artillery range was close, otherwise it would be too big, he hurriedly ordered a counterattack, a small window flashed on the lotus throne, and three missiles shot out in a row.

The current missile is not the primitive thing powered by the cowhide band used in the East China Sea back then, but an aluminum alloy projectile, an advanced weapon propelled by gunpowder.

The missile showed that it was shot out by a powerful bow and crossbow, after flying out of a distance, the spray barrel began to work, the flame erupted from the tail of the missile, the air flow disturbed the three tail wings began to rotate, and the missile swirled straight towards the city tower, the Qing soldiers saw the anger of the heavenly court, and they were so frightened that they were lying on the ground and trembling, the missile hit the Yongding Gate tower and the city wall next to it, and one flew straight into the city, the aluminum alloy warhead was equipped with a thunder mercury fuse and a high explosive **, and it exploded after touching the target, although the power was limited, but the psychological pressure caused was very huge, This is the fire of punishment from heaven.

Peng Chun pulled out his waist knife and pointed at the sky city and scolded: "Han dog, what kind of hero is pretending to be a ghost, there is a kind of going down and fighting grandpa!" But he was the only one who was crazy there, and the other Qing generals and soldiers didn't dare to say anything, saying that Peng Chun was crazy and dared to argue with the Jade Emperor.

Seeing that the Qing army no longer fired artillery, the heavenly soldiers and generals on the "Lingxiao Treasure Palace" shouted together: "The Jade Emperor summoned the Qing Dynasty Emperor Xuan Ye to come to listen to the announcement!" A large group of people shouted together, and their voices were loud and clear, and Peng Chun still scolded: "Phew! What qualifications do you have to summon my Majesty the Emperor of the Great Qing Dynasty? However, the other generals already regarded him as a madman, and ignored him, the general of Yongding Gate, and went down to the city to report to Kangxi.
