687 [All Hungry People]
Anti-Ba finally understood why the Manchus kept losing battles, while the Datong army was always victorious.
He ran with the army as a guide, and at the moment he was so hungry that he was close to his back. Don't get into the fight, I'm a little dizzy when I walk, and I've only gnawed some grass roots today.
"General," Amba suggested, "why don't you sweep the outside of the city first and get some food to fill your stomach?" It is too difficult to attack the city directly, and the soldiers are almost fainting from hunger, and once the siege is not completed, I am afraid that the whole army will be annihilated. “
Yang Zhenqing is a madman, and he doesn't want to retreat at all: "The soldiers are fast, since it is a surprise attack, let's hit its vital point." After eating outside the city, after the movement is bigger, how can the defense inside the city attack the city? And..."Yang Zhenqing suddenly laughed, "I believe in the fine brothers in the city. ”
Amba's belly is empty, and his heart is also empty at the moment. He offered a surprise attack, but wasn't it such a surprise attack method, allowing a group of hungry soldiers to attack the city at night?
In the darkness, countless torches gradually lit.
They preferred not to carry so much dry food, but also to bring enough weapons and firestarters.
Hetuala, the early capital of the Later Jin, has not yet expanded the area of Salhu City.
The inner city is inhabited by the Aixin Jueluo family, which is the so-called royal city and imperial city.
The north side of the outer city is inhabited by artisans, and Han craftsmen are the mainstay. On the remaining three sides of the outer city, Manchurian nobles, merchants, and Hanchen lived.
Outside the city, ordinary soldiers and their families of the Eight Banners Army lived.
Originally, there were Han people outside the city, but in the past two years, they have fled one after another, and there are not many Han people left.
Countless torches were lit, and the Tartar soldiers defending the city soon discovered the troops and hurriedly sounded the trumpet to warn.
The city was in chaos, and I couldn't figure out what was going on, let alone where the enemy was coming from.
Yang Zhenqing led his soldiers and rushed to the residential area outside the city with torches. The Eight Banners soldiers who lived here either guarded in the city, or followed Suo Hun to the south to block the attack, and all the rest of the settlement area were the families of the Eight Banners.
Even, there are not even a few young and strong, and those who can fight have been recruited, and more than ninety percent of them are old and weak women and children.
"Don't look for food, light the fire quickly!" Yang Zhenqing reaffirmed the military order while running.
The Datong army, which was all hungry, really only lit a fire to the house, and did not rush into the house to look for food. In an instant, fires broke out outside the city, and countless Tartars, old and weak, cried and fled.
The Tartar defenders on the city walls, with only a few hundred people left at this time, stared at the fire outside the city in amazement.
Their families, all outside the city, don't know if they were burned to death, anyway, the house at home must be gone.
The lord of the city will be called Solga, the younger brother of Erke Daiqing.
Solga shouted, "Shut the gates of the city, don't go out to put out the fire!" “
This order made the Tartar soldiers stationed on the outer city wall extremely angry one by one.
What is burning outside is their home, their family.
And a nobleman like Solga, whose family members are all in the city, even if it burns out outside the city, the nobles will not have any loss.
Even more disgusting is royalty!
The surname Aixin Jueluo all lives in the inner city. After the warning horn sounded, the soldiers in the inner city did not come out at all,
Instead, devote all their energy to defending the inner walls.
It's so ridiculous, in the whole of Hetuala, there are only more than a thousand defenders left.
Half of them are the Eight Banners Army whose homes are outside the city, they are not allowed to go out, they are not allowed to help their families, and they can only defend the outer city wall.
Half of them are the Eight Banners Army whose homes are in the outer city, and they are not allowed to go out, so they can only protect the Aixin Jueluo family in the inner city.
Fan Wencheng was awakened by the sound of the horn, dressed under the service of the concubine, and beckoned the housekeeper to ask, "But the southern barbarians are here?"
The housekeeper replied, "I don't know, it's very chaotic outside, and many people are inquiring about the news." “
Suddenly, there was a noise in the courtyard.
Fan Wencheng felt bad, and went over to check in person, only to hear a house slave shouting: "I am sent by Emperor Zhao of Nanjing, the soldiers of Datong have arrived, Han brothers and sisters, don't give the Tartars a burial." Set fire to the house with me,
Everyone can be rewarded for meritorious service, and everyone can share the land and become a landlord! ”
Fan Wencheng was shocked and asked, "Who is this person?" “
The housekeeper said, "I bought it back last year." ”
Fan Wencheng suddenly remembered the population trade on the side of the Guandi Temple. In the past two years, there have been too many fugitive slaves, so I can only buy back slaves to replenish them, and I am afraid that countless fine works have been mixed in.
Perhaps, those businessmen who bought and sold human beings have secretly taken refuge in the Datong Imperial Court!
"Take it down for me!" Fan Wencheng shouted.
That Datong is also shouting: "Burn the house and make meritorious contributions, everyone is a landlord!" ”
Outside the city is the Datong army, as long as they set fire to the house, they can make meritorious contributions and become landlords. How to choose, the house slaves are very clear.
Just when the house slaves went to light the fire, Na Xiaozuo shouted again: "Capture Fan Wencheng alive and reward twenty taels of silver!"
"Run!"
Fan Wencheng was so frightened that he slipped away, he couldn't even take care of his wife and children, he wanted to escape to the inner city to take refuge.
The same situation happened in many places in the city, and even the mansions of the Manchurian nobles were mixed into the fine work as domestic slaves.
Huang Sanye of Nancheng, this product is a personal trafficker, and its backer is a head of the Internal Affairs Bureau.
At this moment, Huang Sanye didn't have any clothes on, so he gathered his house slaves and subordinates, and he was excited and inexplicable:
"Don't panic, outside the city is the Datong Heavenly Soldiers. Master Ben has already voted for Emperor Zhao, you follow me to set fires, and burn the houses when you see them, all of them can make meritorious contributions in the new dynasty... Remember, don't burn the Huang family's house and shop! “
Fan Wencheng ran wildly with the housekeeper all the way, and saw several houses on fire along the way. No need to ask, it must be done carefully, I am afraid that there are dozens of meticulous works in this city!
It's over, it's over!
Coming to the south gate of the inner city, Fan Wencheng shouted: "Hurry up and open the door, I'm Fan Wencheng!" ”
The defenders were unmoved, and they were afraid that Fan Wencheng would also join the enemy as a spy.
But the defenders of the inner city have already fluctuated at this moment. Most of their homes are in the outer city, and now not only is the fire breaking out of the city, but the outer city is also being set on fire, and their own families are likely to be burned to death.
"Enter your mother!"
Fan Wencheng saw that the city gate was not opened, and immediately scolded angrily.
As for Ning Wan, I'm still in the casino at the moment, and his money is about to be lost.
The people in the casino fled in a panic, but Ning Wan was very calm, and laughed: "What are you running away?"
Left and right is a death, can you escape a dog's life? In Lao Tzu's life, a poor scholar, it is worth it to be able to enjoy so many years. ”
The inner city, the Royal Palace.
Da Yu'er got up in a panic, got dressed and went to look for her son, and called Sailer, who was in charge of the security of the inner city, again: "But the Southern Barbarians are calling?" ”
Sayler replied: "Queen Mother, there are fires everywhere outside the city and outside the city, and the ministers really don't know what the situation is. It is estimated that the two generals, Suohun and Erke Daiqing, have been completely wiped out in the south, otherwise how could the enemy kill Hetuala? ”
"Suohun is completely annihilated? This... That's how it can be good. "Da Yu'er has completely lost her sense of proportion.
Thaler persuaded: "Queen Mother, please ask Your Majesty to tour the east." Manda... On Prince Li's side, there is still a place to stay, and the enemy will attack without leaving! “
"Okay, let's go, let's go!" Da Yu'er hurried.
Sailer immediately went to gather the guards of the Internal Affairs Office, and when they heard that the emperor and the queen mother were about to run, they hurriedly opened the inner city gate and went to the outer city separately to find their families. You can't just escort the Empress Dowager and the Emperor to escape, and bring your family here, no matter how late it is, the house will be burned out!
In the face of the scattered guards, Sailor couldn't hold it down at all, so he simply went to find his family.
Da Yu'er took her son and waited in the palace for a long time, but no one came back.
In a panic, she simply walked by herself, followed only by a group of heartfelt eunuchs and palace maids. Soon after leaving the palace, he met the people of Aixin Jueluo, and those guys were also fleeing with their families.
"Your Majesty and the Queen Mother are here, open the city gate quickly!"
The eunuch shouted at the north gate, and the Tartar soldiers defending the city were in an uproar.
Their home was burned outside the city, but they were not allowed to go out, and now the queen mother actually took the emperor to run.
These low-level Eight Banner Army finally no longer obey military orders, and they don't care about the emperor and queen mother. They scrambled to leave the walls, opened the gates and ran out, shouting the names of their families along the way.
Seeing this, Da Yu'er didn't care about punishing the soldiers, and hurriedly took her son to escape from the north city gate.
"Commander, the north gate is open!"
"Take the city quickly!"
Yang Zhenqing led his troops to the north gate, but he didn't know that Da Yuer and Shunzhi had fled. Even if he knew, he didn't bother to chase after him if he ran away, because his soldiers were already tired and hungry to the limit. You must hurry to take the city, and then fill your stomach again.
Not long after rushing into the north city gate, a fine work stepped forward to greet him: "Liao Zi No. 147, welcome the general into the city!" ”
Yang Zhenqing arched his hand and smiled: "Thank you brothers! ”
"General, there is a lot of chaos in the city, please press quickly." If you have any orders, please give them to the general.
Yang Zhenqing: "You get some food and water first, .; The more the merrier, we haven't eaten much these days.
When the fire was set outside the city, several soldiers were already fainting from hunger. ”
"General, the puppet Qing Internal Affairs Office must have something to eat... By the way, there is a military camp in the city, and there must be a lot of food there! "Carefully said.
Yang Zhenqing instructed: "You come to lead the way, I will send a few people to follow, and go to the Tartar military camp to get the food first." “
The Datong army, which was full of hungry people, only thought about eating now, and was not even in such a hurry to maintain law and order, let alone whether the Tartar Emperor had already run away.
Such a crazy rushing method, no one could think of the Tartars, and neither could the friendly troops of the Datong Army. On the other side of Salhu, there is still a confrontation in the siege of the city, both sides are waiting for Manda to lead reinforcements and then fight a decisive battle, who would have expected that the capital of the Tartars would be inexplicably gone?
The news first reached Suo Hun, who was still leading troops to garrison the castle and intercept Yang Zhenqing's main force.
"What? Hetuara is gone? Suo Hun thought he had misheard.
Erke Daiqing asked, "Where did the enemy come from?" “
The tartar who reported the news had a bitter face: "I don't know where it came from, so I suddenly killed it outside the city and set fire to the house everywhere."
The outer city also caught fire for some reason, and there was chaos everywhere, and it was heard that His Majesty had fled. ”
Suo Hun and Erke Dai Qing looked at each other, and they all thought about escaping. If they don't run again, they will be attacked on their backs and will be completely blocked in the ravine.
