Chapter 383: Imperial Sunset Bloody Dusk
Article 383
"How's it going?"
Wu Sangui finally killed hundreds of thousands of people and successfully killed Huang Taiji.
Huang Taiji was losing his temper, and he didn't know what it was, so he smashed his head and face, Wu Sangui naturally didn't dare to hide, until he was hit by his body, Wu Sangui knew that it was actually the horsewhip in Huang Taiji's hand.
"Back to the emperor, no ambush was found in the capital for the time being, and the troops who entered the city did not encounter any resistance, but they were wrapped in a frightened crowd and it was difficult to move, the ambush was outside the city, and Prince Su led the troops to counterattack the ambush!"
Wu Sangui frowned slightly and said, "Your Majesty, this situation is not right, there are not many ambush soldiers!" ”
"Of course it's not right! This is Cheng Shijiebu's bureau, he wants to muddy the waters, blow my reputation, let me bear the infamy of an executioner, and make Wen Aiqing and them sinners through the ages......"
Huang Taiji said indignantly: "Hmph, Cheng Shijie, you are so vicious!" ”
As soon as the words fell, Huang Taiji's brows suddenly tightened, Cheng Shijie is a very realistic person, he has gone to great lengths to lay out such a big game, it is not just to slap the face of the Wenchen Group, there must be a more important purpose here!
According to Cheng Shijie's temperament, if this is the killing game he arranged, it should be more than that, even five years ago, Cheng Shijie's Ning Navy's firepower attack was more than what he was looking for.
In the battle of Shenyang that had just passed less than a year, after Ning Haijun found out that he had retreated ahead of schedule, Ning Haijun was furious and bombarded Shenyang City with artillery for more than two days, until the entire city was bombarded into ruins, and not even a single finished house could be found. If it was a killing game arranged by Cheng Shijie, then it should be hundreds of artillery pieces, endlessly bombarding Chaoyangmen......
It's just that the situation is too chaotic now, Huang Taiji racked his brains, failed to grasp the key to the problem, and was hurting his brain, Fan Wencheng had already reacted, and exclaimed: "Your Majesty, it's not good, the palace!" ”
As if a bolt of lightning pierced the fog in the sky, Huang Taiji shouted: "His purpose is the palace!" Wu Sangui! ”
Wu Sangui responded loudly: "The slave is here!" ”
Huang Taiji pointed in the direction of the Forbidden City, and shouted: "Immediately take your men and horses and enter the Forbidden City as quickly as possible!" No matter what means you use, I must control the royal family! There are many rewards for a good job, if someone takes advantage of the chaos to rescue the royal family, come and see you! ”
Wu Sangui shivered and replied loudly: "The slave obeys!" ”
Jierharang shouted: "Your Majesty, let's let the minions go, now the situation is too complicated, and the ghost knows whether these Han people are reliable!" ”
Wu Sangui almost didn't vomit blood, and hurriedly defended: "Your Majesty, the slave is loyal to the Qing Dynasty!" ”
Zilharang sneered: "Anyone can say such beautiful words, but there are very few people who can really do it!" Now everything is messed up, and no one can trust it except their own people! ”
Huang Taiji instantly understood the real problem, the palace of the Ming Dynasty, the Zhu Dynasty has been in business for two or three hundred years, and there are a lot of gold and silver treasures stored in it, Wu Sangui will most likely not betray the Qing Dynasty, and he does not have the courage, but the problem is that Wu Sangui has the courage to hide a certain amount of treasure.
This is all from the Qing Dynasty, this is all from me, although Huang Taiji did not speak, but Taidu explained everything.
Zilharang shouted to the hundreds of white-armored soldiers in his headquarters: "Come with me!" ”
Jierharang kicked the horse's belly with a spur, and the Liaodong horse under his crotch rushed out like a cannonball, leading hundreds of fierce white-armored soldiers to the Forbidden City like a hurricane.
The complexion of the generals of the Guan Ning Army was as ugly as it was.
Huang Taiji groaned slightly, and said to Wu Sangui and Zu Zerun: "Ji'er Harang, there is courage and no strategy, and now the situation is complicated, let him go alone for fear of mistakes, four generals, please do my party!" ”
Zu Dashou and Zu Dacheng, Wu Xiang and Wu Sangui were overjoyed, and they all agreed to the promise, and each led hundreds of elite soldiers to kill the Forbidden City.
At this time, the battle outside Chaoyang Gate became more and more intense.
When the rocket artillery shells began to attack, there were only six rocket artillery firing positions in total, and as an old opponent of the Ning Navy, Haoge also knew that there would not be too many people and horses in artillery firing positions like this, and it would be dozens or hundreds of people in six places.
For Haoge, if it is tens of thousands of Ning Haijun, he will definitely turn around and run, how far he can run, but now in the face of dozens or hundreds of Ning Haijun, Hauge is not afraid.
But the problem is that the ideal is very plump, and the reality is too skinny.
If it is facing ordinary Ning Navy soldiers, Haoge's idea is correct, but the problem is that he is now facing the Ning Navy's big scouts, as the scouts of the Ning Navy, at the beginning of their army, Cheng Shijie once said to the reconnaissance of the Ning Navy: "You are reconnaissance troops that infiltrate the front enemy or reconnaissance behind enemy lines, the first must learn to disguise yourself, and the second must learn to preserve your own vitality when the enemy is outnumbered!" ”
When Haoge led the elite of the Qing army with yellow flags, starting from the discovery of the launch position of the rocket artillery, it would take at least three or four minutes for them to rush two or three miles away, but these times were enough for the scouts of the Ning Navy to transfer.
When Hauge drove to a courtyard, the smoke had not yet cleared, but there was no one.
Haoge pounced into the air, and scolded angrily: "Minggou is really fast, dig three feet into the ground for this king, and find them out!" ”
After receiving the order, the elite soldiers with yellow flags began to search the surrounding houses.
If these soldiers with yellow flags in the Qing army had watched "Mine Warfare", they would definitely be careful and careful, instead of directly kicking the door recklessly.
"Bang!"
The door of a room was kicked open by the Qing soldiers, and before they could see the situation in the house, a grenade was pulled by a simple mechanism made of fishing line, and at the same time, the grenade bullet was hung on the beam of the house, and a basket was hung on the beam, and the Qing soldiers who had just rushed in were trying to reach out and grab the basket to see what was inside.
"Boom ......"
As the grenade exploded in the air, dozens or hundreds of shrapnel shot out, and these Qing soldiers enjoyed the treatment of indiscriminate attacks, and they instantly screamed.
What's even more tragic is that most of the people in the neighboring capital city are poor people, and their houses are also in disrepair, even a heavy snowfall will crush countless houses, not to mention the explosion of grenades? As a result, the house collapsed in a hurry, burying several Qing soldiers directly in the room.
Haoge was also eye-opening today, he knew that the war could be fought like this, and in just a quarter of an hour, the Qing soldiers who were in charge of searching for the reconnaissance of the Ning Navy touched more than sixty mines, most of which were made with grenades.
In just a quarter of an hour, more than 60 grenades made of tricky mines inflicted yellow flags with more than 800 wounded, of which more than 300 were directly killed or wounded.
In addition to grenades, there are also rat traps that have been modified, directly clipping off their fingers, some Qing soldiers stepped on the trap, and there were sickles in the traps, sharp sickles cut the soles of their feet, and there were also crossbows that were fixed and shot through the throat, and some were stabbed in the thighs by dung forks, and some were cut to the toes by the head, and the wounded caused by cold weapons alone were as many as 500 people.
Without even seeing the face of the enemy, Hauge's yellow flag was enough to add more than 1,300 wounded, and most of the wounded soldiers were disabled injuries, which made Hauge even more difficult to bear.
"Stop the search and just set this piece on fire!"
Hauge didn't dare to risk his own troops, these Ning Haijun were too insidious.
It is a pity that the scouts of the Ning Navy once again predicted Hauge's prediction, in fact, it is also the case, if you find that the seemingly ordinary yard, whether it is doors, windows, beams, firewood stacks, water tanks, grain tanks, wardrobes, bed bottoms, etc., are full of traps, the only way to reduce casualties is to directly set fire.
But the problem is that arson is also dangerous.
Because when the General Staff Department was formulating the plan, it calculated that one-third of the 200,000 troops in Beijing would be dispatched, that is, 60,000 or 70,000 horses to pursue Cheng Shijie, so they also arranged a lot of weapons of mass destruction, such as flying thunder artillery.
As the fire collapsed and burned, the first to ignite the arranged flying thunder cannons, a muffled thunder sounded, and Hauge's troops who set fire were also bombarded by the flying thunder cannons, killing and wounding.
Only then did Ma Xing realize that the delicate girl in front of him was so ruthless.
If he encountered this method, Ma Xing thought about it carefully, and felt that he had no other means to deal with it except to escape.
Where is the red lady waiting for an ambush at the next ambush location? Looking at those Qing soldiers very stupidly, she took the walkie-talkie and said: "A platoon leader, make some movement!" ”
"Yes!"
"Crackling ......"
A tray of firecrackers was placed in a barrel and detonated, and a soldier in armor followed the voice: "They're over there!" ”
When they ran to the location of the firecrackers, they found out that they had been fooled.
Soon, bursts of firecrackers rang out in many places in Beijing.
After being fooled several times in a row, more Qing troops joined this encirclement and suppression battle, but it is a pity that the Red Lady has successfully retreated.
After finding that there was no trace of Ning's naval officers around, Haoge ordered the arrest of the nearby people after he was angry, and soon arrested four or five thousand people, and asked the Qing soldiers under his command to kill these captured people on the spot.
Suddenly there was a scream, if it weren't for Huang Taiji's false benevolence and false righteousness, Haoge would have stopped, it is estimated that these four or five thousand people would have been killed.
There was a river of blood outside Beijing, and the Forbidden City was also in chaos, after hearing that the Qing army was killing people in the city, especially countless Qing troops were killing the Forbidden City.
Countless officials, palace laves, and eunuchs screamed and ran out of it, but they had no ability to resist in the face of the Qing army's butcher knife, so they could only be killed one by one.
And the palace guards found that they would be killed if they surrendered, and they took weapons to use the terrain of the Forbidden City to resist, of course, they were not the opponents of the Qing army, and seeing that they were killed in a river of blood, those angry Forbidden City guards had no choice but to set the Forbidden City on fire.
Soon in the Forbidden City, fires broke out in many places, thick smoke billowed out, and the flames soared into the sky.
Seeing this scene, Huang Taiji hurriedly ordered: "Order Ji'er Harang and Guan Ningjun to put out the fire immediately!" ”
As the Qing army blindly rushed to the palace that was on fire everywhere, everyone huddled together. Some ill-intentioned guys took advantage of the fire to rob, rushed into the palace to loot all kinds of treasures, gold and silver utensils, and even raped the palace maids.
These acts of robbery made the situation even more complicated, with the sound of beastly laughter, the cries and screams of weak women, and the sound of the pavilion collapsing one after another, as if the whole world was collapsing, and countless faces were distorted in the fireworks, even for a battle-hardened general like Zu Dashou, it was thrilling to be in it.
The fierce Manchurian white-armored soldiers are not a reasonable character, they grabbed a brightly dressed eunuch casually, and after asking how to go to the Kunning Palace where the queen was located, they led the white-armored soldiers to rush all the way over there, and encountered obstacles, whether it was a white-haired old eunuch or a charming palace lady, one by one, cut down, forcibly split a bloody alley, the Forbidden City was bloody, their cruel methods made the situation in the Forbidden City more frenzied, tens of millions of people shouted loudly, running wildly!
Zu Dashou looked coldly at the second brother Zu Dacheng beside him and said, "Do you see it?" ”
"See!"
"That's what you want?"
Zu Dashou gritted his teeth: "Our ancestral family has been ruined in your hands for many generations, what face do you have to go to see your ancestors?" ”
Zu Dacheng pursed his lips: "It was you, the eldest brother, who decided to surrender, not me!" ”
"You ......"
Zu Dashou regretted it very much.
Kunning Palace is here in a blink of an eye, this magnificent palace is already a sea of fire, but through the smoke and fire, it can be vaguely seen that many people are retreating to the imperial garden, some beautiful palace ladies, looking at the miserable appearance of the former palace laves, some of them tried to commit suicide, and some rushed directly to the sea of fire.
Wu Sangui was about to go crazy: "Did you see Queen Zhou?" Where is Empress Zhou and where is the crown prince? ”
The answer is yes, they have already gone out of the city, in yesterday, in fact, they have already gone out of the city, they are directly out of the city from the secret passage, there has always been a secret passage in the Forbidden City, in fact, whether it is Beijing, or Nanjing, including Chang'an, there are secret passages.
This is the last way back, even if the army has entered the city, if Emperor Chongzhen really wants to run, he has a chance to run out.
Soon more and more Qing troops rushed into the capital, the Forbidden City was too small to fit too many Qing soldiers, and those Qing soldiers who were full of promotion and fortune began to aim at the big families in the city.
Chaos began to spread from the Forbidden City to the city, and the bustling streets had become Shura Field, with blood splattering everywhere, screaming miserably, and the sky of the entire Beijing City turned dim yellow, which was the color reflected by the fire.
The Ming Empire has reached dusk, and the imperial capital must be bloody.
