To the east of Yanqing Prefecture, more than 8,300 prisoners escorted by the general officers and men of the left part of the front camp were assembled in the cold wind.

The more than 8,000 Mongol captives were all shirtless, shivering in the harsh winter winds, and some of the wounded soldiers could no longer support them, and many of them had fainted, but there was no companion to help them.

For the Mongols, it was common for the tribes to fight, and if they were defeated today, they would become prisoners of another tribe tomorrow, and they would fight for the victors, and there was no strong sense of belonging.

Now defeated and captured by the Ming army, there is no difference in nature, the vast majority of Mongolian soldiers believe that as long as the war is over, the Qing Dynasty will spend some money to redeem themselves, and it will not be long before they will be the soldiers and horses of the Mongolian Eight Banners, and they can go south again to attack all parts of the Ming Dynasty, and then how many women and money and food will be needed.

But more than 8,000 captives stood for a while in the cold wind, and everyone began to notice something unusual. Those wounded soldiers have even been frozen to death, and the soldiers and horses of the new army who are waiting around are still indifferent, and there is no way that the Ming army treated the prisoners of the Qing army in the past, either kill them directly, or lock them up and ask for ransom, what is this going to do now?

After a while, more than 100,000 soldiers of the new army around have all been assembled, surrounding the city of Yanqingzhou, with the appearance of a big sword, the soldiers of the battalions of the whole army thundered with joy, and the soldiers of the army shouted ten thousand victories, and the momentum was like a rainbow.

This big silk is red all over, with a big "Liu" character written on it, and there are two slightly smaller battle flags next to it, one is the sun and moon Jintao battle flag of the Ming Dynasty, and the other battle flag has the book "President of the Ming Dynasty."

Governor of Shandong's local governors of military affairs, food and wages, management of rivers and civil affairs".

Under the three-sided battle, Liu Yan was wearing fine steel armor, wearing a tiger skin outside, riding on a war horse majestically, holding a clairvoyant mirror to observe the city head of Yanqing Prefecture, after seeing the battle flags of Jierharang, Abatai, Haoge, Azig, and Baiyintu, he smiled and said to Miao Shao, Xun Jingyun, and Wu Guojin beside him: "Don't see Huang Taiji?" Now that the Qing army is at the end of its rope, and Huang Taiji has not shown up, I think that either his condition has worsened and he can't get out of bed, or he is planning a way out in the city. ”

Miao Shao said proudly: "A way out? Governor, what way out can the Tartars have now? I think they have only one way to die! ”

"No waiting."

Liu Yan exhaled, the white mist spread out around his mouth, according to the measurement standards of later generations, Liu Yan estimated that the current temperature must be at least more than ten degrees below zero, and those Mongolian captives were almost there.

"Now that the audience is complete, let's start singing!"

"Yes!"

Then Miao Shao excitedly rode his horse to the front of more than 8,000 captives, and there were hundreds of soldiers from the personal guard battalion behind him who brought a large number of knives and guns and other weapons, and a large number of baggage soldiers brought a lot of ladders, which were placed on the wilderness in the east of Yanqing Prefecture, about a hundred steps away from the city wall, in front of more than 8,000 captives.

Miao Shao reined in his war horse, and then roared loudly: "Now give you a way to live, pick up the weapons and ladders in front of you, and rush up to attack the city, or those who come back, you can send fifty silver coins, and you can choose to join the new army of Daming Shandong, or return to the grassland and go home!" ”

Miao Shao's voice was empty

The winter wilderness spread, all the captives heard it really, and the more than 8,000 captives were dumbfounded, isn't this like what the Ming army did?

Then Miao Shao shouted loudly: "If anyone doesn't want to, pull it out now and cut off their heads!" ”

At this moment, except for the cold wind whistling in the army, no one spoke among the thousands of captives, and everyone was fighting in a tangled manner.

Miao Shao looked at everyone coldly, then looked back at the city, rode his horse to Liu Yan's side, and then said loudly to the soldiers of the personal guard battalion: "The whole battalion is on alert, let's start!" ”

"Yes!"

After receiving the order, Wu Xingzhou, the guerrilla general on the left side of the guard battalion, shouted loudly: "All the prisoners listen, start attacking!" ”

Then more than 10,000 soldiers of the guard battalion raised their bird guns and aimed them at more than 8,000 Mongol captives, who would be beaten into a sieve if they made any changes or stood still and did not charge.

"It's all dead anyway, rush up, and you can still have a chance to go home!"

A Mongolian Zhenghuang Banner Niu Lu really roared, and then took the lead in rushing forward, picked up a war knife from the ground, beckoned dozens of captive soldiers of the Zhenghuang Banner around him, and began to rush towards Yanqing Prefecture.

Subsequently, thousands of Mongol soldiers began to charge, and many even began to scramble for weapons on the ground, and many people went to carry the ladder and rushed to the city wall with a roar.

There was no moat in Yanqing Prefecture, and the moats, horses, sheep and horse walls and other facilities outside the city had been abandoned for a long time, so the thousands of Mongol captives did not encounter any obstacles.

Of course, there are also many people who are fishing in troubled waters, and do not really charge, but move forward in the crowd, trying to see the situation, or take the opportunity to escape.

Suddenly, count

There was a fierce sound of birds behind the thousand Mongol captives, and many people looked back, only to see that one or two hundred captives of various flags were still standing in place, and did not charge with the large group of men and horses, and at this time they had all been shot dead by the soldiers of the New Army's personal guard battalion and turned into cold corpses.

"It's really killing!"

All the Mongol captives were taken aback, and the pace of their feet quickened a little, and the captive soldiers who were mixed in the crowd began to charge forward desperately at this moment.

At the head of the city, Zilharang, Azig, Haoge, Abatai, Baiyintu and others were dumbfounded, and the soldiers and horses of the Qing army in the city were constantly exclaiming and roaring at this moment, and they all angrily rebuked those Mongol prisoners.

But between life and death, the Mongol captives had no choice at all, and rushed forward one after another.

Those Mongolian captives will no longer defect to the Qing army anyway at this moment, who does not know that the Qing army is already a grasshopper after the autumn, and there is not much time to be arrogant, and no one will go to the dark with the Qing army at this time.

"Shoot the arrows!"

At the head of the city, Azig and Haug roared almost in unison, and in one fell swoop, ten thousand arrows were fired at once, and a dense number of arrows killed a large number of Mongol prisoners in an instant.

At this time, the Mongol captives who rushed to the city not only had no armor, but also no clothes, all of them were shirtless, and they had no defense at all.

"Kill! Kill me! ”

Hauge roared in a frenzy at this time, eager to kill all the rebellious Mongols. There were more than 8,000 Mongol prisoners, why not

fought to the death with Liu Yanbu, and gave Liu Yanbu the greatest damage, but instead rushed over and raised his sword to the masters, is there still heavenly reason?

The two Yellow Banner soldiers and horses of Manchukuo at the head of the city drew their bows and released arrows, the faces of these soldiers were hideous, and they slaughtered their original companions without hesitation, and they scolded angrily and continued to release arrows, and the arrows on the city were raining down, and the thousands of Mongol prisoners who rushed up were quickly killed and retreated, leaving only at least more than 2,000 corpses.

Those corpses were covered with blood, and in the cold wind, they were frozen together in the blink of an eye, becoming an inseparable whole.

Liu Yan looked at the Mongolian captives who fled back in panic, there was no special expression on his face, he just said coldly to Miao Shao: "Kill me!" ”

Miao Shao had been waiting for a long time, and roared loudly: "Fire!" ”

Rumble!

The large horizontal formation of the pro-guard battalion had long been prepared, and it was assembled in the rear of thousands of Mongol prisoners, that is, to the east of Yanqing Prefecture.

At this moment, Miao Shao gave an order, and a thick smoke of gunpowder gushed out in an instant, and the dense firepower was far more lethal than the rain of arrows on the city, and the retreating Mongolian prisoners fell to the ground one after another. The dead Mongol captives were considered lucky, but the wounded and fallen captives suffered greatly, curled up on the cold ground and wailing, and then trampled by countless pairs of feet, and soon lost their voices.

"Put!"

The volleys of the guards continued continuously, and soon a huge "smoke belt" was formed in front of the formation, and those Mongol prisoners who had no defense could not rush at all, and they were completely slaughtered lambs.

In less than half an hour, more than 8,300 Mongolian prisoners were there

Under the "flanking attack" of the new army's personal guard battalion and the Qing army in the city, they were all slaughtered in the wilderness east of Yanqing Prefecture.

At this time, the smoke gradually dissipated, Liu Yan waved his hand, the flag of the Chinese army began to wave violently, and the battalions of the new army and the garrison army began to advance until they advanced to the position of one hundred and twenty steps in Yanqing Prefecture, and then stopped one after another.

There was no artillery on the city of Yanqingzhou, and at this distance, the bows and arrows of the Qing army could not shoot at all, while the artillery battalion of the new army could directly bombard any part of the city.

"Order the artillery battalion to prepare, with the east as the main direction of attack, and the rest of the sides to attack in coordination!"

"Yes!"

Miao Shao asked: "Governor, do you wait until the artillery battalion stops shelling before the battalions attack?" ”

Liu Yan nodded and said, "Okay, listen to the orders of the Chinese army!" ”

"Yes!"

On the eastern city wall of Yanqing Prefecture, Jierharang looked at the battalions of the new army and the garrison army that had almost advanced to him, and hurriedly said to Haoge: "Prince Su immediately returned to the Zhizhou Yamen to sit in the town, and I will wait here to supervise the battle!" ”

Hauge nodded with a grim face, said to everyone to be careful, and hurried back to the city.

At this time, Zilharang discussed with Azig, Abatai, and Baiyintu, and finally decided to lead the Manchurian soldiers and horses with the yellow flag to garrison the east, Zilharang led the Manchurian soldiers and horses with the blue flag to guard the north, Abatai Manchurian with the blue flag to guard the south, and Azig led more than 3,000 Manchurian soldiers and horses with the white flag to guard the west.

As for the soldiers and horses of the Manchurian Zhenghuang Banner, everyone always thought that they could not be mobilized for the time being, so they all gathered around the Zhizhou Yamen in the city and handed them over to Haoge to command and transfer.

At the same time, several people also unanimously decided to divide Ma Guangyuan and Geng Zhongming's Han army into two

All the soldiers and horses of the Yellow Banner were mobilized to the east, and these soldiers and horses of the Han Army were used as cannon fodder to consume Liu Yan's troops as much as possible and delay time as much as possible.

Soon, the soldiers and horses of the Manchurian banners began to be mobilized, and Ma Guangyuan and Geng Zhongming also led the Han army to rush over with the two yellow flags, and the two came to the city, and the generals at all levels under their command shouted and shouted to deploy the defense, but saw that the Manchurian soldiers and horses with yellow flags on the city head were rapidly retreating, and all of them were spread out at the city gate and in the houses along the city wall.

Ma Guangyuan and Geng Zhongming glanced at each other, and both of them were very dissatisfied in their hearts. When is this coming, these Manchus still look like they are on top, and they don't treat the soldiers and horses of the Han army as people, shouldn't they unite now and fight against Liu Yan's soldiers and horses?

"Hehe, master, are there some Manchurian soldiers and horses deployed on the city?"

Ma Guangyuan is the Han Army's Gushan Ezhen with a yellow flag, that is, the slave of Manchuria's Gushan Ezhen with a yellow flag, even if Baiyintu is not the flag owner, he can still dispose of Ma Guangyuan at will.

At this time, Bai Yintu looked out of the city with a solemn face, and the artillery battalion led by Qian Jian in the distance was already in place, and the artillery positions were being deployed, and the artillery of that gate was being mobilized, and many artillery pieces had begun to be filled.

Bai Yintu was thinking about how to block Liu Yanbu's artillery fire, but was interrupted by Ma Guangyuan, and suddenly became angry in his heart, and directly whipped Ma Guangyuan's face, and a long blood mark instantly appeared on Ma Guangyuan's face.

But even so, Ma Guangyuan didn't dare to say anything, but hurriedly knelt down and begged his master not to be angry.

This is the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which is completely backward slavery

Everywhere they go, they copy this system of masters and slaves, and turn civilized places into wild creatures.

"Bastard minion! Do whatever you want, where is the nonsense! ”

"Huh! It's the minions who talk too much. ”

Bai Yintu glared at Ma Guangyuan, and then looked at Geng Zhongming, who was sad about the dead rabbit and fox next to him, and then said angrily: "You go to check the sandbags on the city immediately, and they must be deployed in place, understand?" ”

"Huh!"

Then Bai Yintu went to the city tower angrily to sit down, and the elite of the Bayala battalion of the brigade around him also followed, constantly reprimanding the soldiers of the Han army with two yellow flags who were busy defending the city along the way.

"Bastard!"

Ma Guangyuan touched his red and swollen cheeks, and involuntarily scolded in a low voice.

Geng Zhongming hurriedly signaled Ma Guangyuan to speak cautiously, then sighed and said: "We are all slaves, and the master treats slaves like this, this is fate!" ”

Ma Guangyuan immediately looked outside the city, at this time the artillery battalion of the new army had been basically deployed in place, looking at the artillery, looking at the more than 100,000 elite troops outside the city, he couldn't help but shudder, and a thought came out of his heart: "If you sacrifice the city at this time, can you change the way of life?" ”
