Perhaps because he sensed the arrival of the army, there was not a single pedestrian outside the Zhangjiakou Fort where there were frequent business trips on weekdays. ng.c The leaves on the trees have long since fallen, and the empty branches are trembling under the autumn wind.
" What shook more violently than these branches was the flag of the Eight Banners.
It is said that there are eight flags, but in fact there are only two flags. Up to now, the ones accompanying Dorgon are the two white flags. The white flag fluttered in the wind. Instead of stimulating the morale of the soldiers, it looked like a spiritual flag.
Dorgon coughed a few times, and then tried his best to smile: "After entering the city, kill all the Han people, take away all the gold and silk of all the children, and pay attention to collecting grain, grass, and carts, we need these."
His order was inconsistent. On the one hand, he wanted to kill all the Han people, and on the other hand, he wanted to take away their children. However, no one cared about this contradictory order. After being severely frustrated, they were like thirsty desert travelers. As long as If there is liquid, I want to drink it, even if it is blood.
"Prince Rui, thisis not good, this is the home base of those imperial merchants. If they kill and plunder on a large scale, their face"
"Kill and steal them together. They are all as rich as the country. We have fattened these blood-sucking insects over the years. From now on, we will no longer need them."
What I had just advised was that I was worried that this would force the merchants who had long been colluding with the Jianlu to rebel. Now when they heard Dorgon say this, everyone was not surprised, but overjoyed: These merchants made a fortune by smuggling, and everyone was jealous. Hot ears!
The depressed morale cheered up a little, and Dorgon said again: "Yue Le, go and prepare the city first."
"yes."
Yue Le rushed towards Zhangjiakou Fort with dozens of soldiers. The city gate in the distance was open. Several Han soldiers were guarding the door listlessly. Yue Le rushed straight over. The soldiers saw it from a distance. He picked up his musket and asked feebly: "Who is it?"
¡°How blinded are you slaves that you didn¡¯t even see Beizi when he came back?¡± a soldier asked.
"It turns out Beizi is back Please come in quickly. Please come in quickly."
Those Han soldiers suddenly became energetic and looked like pugs. Yue Le didn't even look at them. These guys will definitely be used as cannon fodder by then, and there is no need to pay attention to them at all. He rode forward and entered the city gate directly.
Dorgon has been looking here with a telescope. It¡¯s not that Dorgon is too cautious, but that he has been frightened by Yu Guozhen recently. Although he believed that even if Yu Guozhen's subordinates had wings and wanted to fly, they would not be able to fly to Xuanda University so quickly. After all, it would take two thousand miles to go around the vast sea from outside Shanhaiguan to Xuanda University.
There was nothing strange about Yue Le entering the city. Dorgon felt relieved, waved his hand, and all the troops came out. Heading towards Zhangjiakou Fort.
It¡¯s just a few miles away. The soldiers thought that after entering the city, they could have a good time to vent their anger, eat, drink and sleep well. Moreover, you can also kill, plunder and commit adultery. Everyone is excited and their feet speed up. It's not just the spring breeze that makes a horse's hooves rush. Being driven by animal nature will also make the horse speed faster. In the blink of an eye, everyone is approaching Zhangjiakou Fort.
But Dorgon¡¯s brows frowned.
There was no other reason. Yue Le did not come out to greet him at this time. Logically speaking, Zhangjiakou Fort was not a big city. After Yue Le entered, he gathered people and ordered the preparations, and then took people to the city gate to greet him. There was no need to delay too much. time.
He was so frightened by Yu Guozhen that he would think that his pursuers were arriving at any slightest sign. At this time, he was even more worried, so he was about to order the entire army to take a break.
However, Jianlu, who was driven by his animal nature, saw that he was less than half a mile away from the city, and all of them took the lead bravely. He was afraid that he would fall behind and there would be nothing to grab and kill, so he stretched out his hand to make a gesture to stop advancing, and saw his own The subordinates cheered like beasts and drove their horses away at a high speed.
"Stand up, stand up!" he shouted.
His voice was very weak, and at this moment, the dizziness that had been bothering him for a long time broke out again. Dorgon tried his best to calm down on the horse, but the people and sounds around him became very distant. He shook his head hard, trying to regain his consciousness.
Before he could fully regain consciousness, the striker had already crossed the suspension bridge and entered Zhangjiakou Fort.
Immediately afterwards, Dorgon heard the roar of artillery.
A ball of fire mixed with thick smoke, flesh and blood, and damaged weapons was sprayed out from the door of Zhangjiakou Fort. It was like a monster that muttered after eating enough flesh and blood and spit out some of the dregs. .
When this change happened, Dorgon¡¯s immediate reaction was not shock and anger, but ¡°sure enough¡±!
Yu Guozhen laid out this timeThe dragnet would leave no loopholes at all. How could Yu Guozhen not think of the way he thought he could escape, and how could he not make arrangements?
The only thing that surprised Dorgon was how Yu Guozhen's troops flew to the entrance of Zhangjiabao.
"Attackattack the city!" He gave the order. At this time, they were completely exhausted, the food and fodder they carried with the army were exhausted, and their horsepower had reached the limit. Even if he wanted to make a detour, it was impossible. The only thing he can do is to take advantage of the opportunity when the opponent's city gate is still open, take human lives to fill it, and rush into the city!
The losses caused by doing so will naturally be extremely heavy, but for the desperate Jianlu, fighting in a corner is their only choice!
However, the continuous sound of musketry and the occasional sound of artillery made Dorgon's last hope come to nothing. Although he had not entered the city, he was not far from the city. His subordinates repeatedly urged him to retreat, but he never moved. However, after rushing out several times and suffering more than 2,000 casualties, he had to retreat.
At this time, a huge flag was erected at the top of the city, with the character "Àî" written on it.
Next to the flag with the word "Àî", a larger flag was raised, but the word "Chuang" was written on it.
Just now, Dorgon felt something was wrong when he heard the sound of gunfire. In the fierce battle into the city, the opponent used muskets and artillery, but did not use the palm mines most commonly used by the Chinese army in close combat.
Now, he completely understands that although the last piece of Yu Guozhen's entire layout is Wang Qinian, the last piece of the puzzle is Li Yan!
Being driven by Yu Guozhen from Tianjin to Li Yan in Shanxi and northern Shaanxi!
In the past few years, apart from some minor frictions with Liu Zongmin and Niu Jinxing, Li Yan mostly promoted potatoes, corn and sweet potatoes under his rule. It is said that he also fought several major battles with the Mongolian tribes in western Moxi. Battles - Li Yan attacked others. Along the Shule River and Longji River, he had recovered the original Chijin Mongolian Guard, Shazhou Guard and Guazhou. In the Central Plains, Li Yan's presence was not strong. At least Dorgon never paid attention to him, but he never thought that it would be Li Yan who finally closed the door to his hope!
When Dorgon wanted to understand everything, the blood in his chest was boiling, and it could no longer be contained. He looked up to the sky and sighed: "Heaven, heaven, how could Yu Guozhen be born!"
After finishing speaking, Dorgon drew his sword and placed it across his neck. The soldiers around him rushed to grab it, but they were a step too late. Dorgon was seen spinning around on his horse, dragging his sword, and then blood spurted out from his neck.
And at this moment, behind Jianlu, the rapid sound of horse hooves sounded, and then there was a storm of musket fire. The Jianlu, who had lost their backbone in panic, fell off their horses in pieces. When they came to their senses, the incoming enemy troops had already rushed into their midst. Sabers and palm thunder were swung at the same time, with explosions and blood. Light and color intertwined, and a one-sided massacre was staged in front of Zhangjiakou Fort.
Jianlu had no sense of resistance at all. At this time, they only had one more breath than the walking dead.
Wang Qinian did not rush forward. Watching Xi Teku leading a group of dragon cavalry who were originally Jurchens but were now Chinese troops, charging happily among the captives, Wang Qinian suddenly felt that it was very boring.
It¡¯s like the weather, it¡¯s neither windy or rainy, nor sunny.
On the gate of Zhangjiabao, Li Yan led his men to watch this one-sided massacre. As the remnants of Li Zicheng, they had seen the fighting power of Jianlu in Shanhaiguan, but they saw that in front of the Chinese army, the Jianlu had no resistance at all. It was clear that their number was greater than that of the Chinese army, but the Chinese army was unable to resist. Able to run rampant as if entering uninhabited territory. The rest of the intruders were breathing in the air-conditioning and looked at Li Yan with complicated eyes.
They caught Jianlu by surprise and captured Xuanda, but anyone with a discerning eye knew that Yu Guozhen was about to occupy the capital. Under such circumstances, Yu Guozhen would definitely take Xuanda as the gateway to the capital.
Next, they will face this terrifying army under the city. They have been recuperating and preparing for three years, but can they really fight against this army?
"Everyone has seen it. It was just a partial division of the Chinese army, but it killed Jianlu like this. Everyone has also seen how fierce Jianlu is. Now, is there anyone who objects to me running Hami?"
Li Yan was also shocked by the charge of the Chinese Army's dragoons. He had personally been to Xixiang and witnessed Yu Guozhen's training troops. At that time, Yu Guozhen did not have such a terrifying cavalry in his hands!Hearing Li Yan¡¯s words, everyone was silent.
"Everyone also knows that in the past few years, when Yu Guozhen held the consultation meeting, every time I either went there in person or sent close confidants to go there. What was the purpose? The purpose was to buy time and make Yu Guozhen not to target him first. We. Fortunately, fortunately, now that Jianlu and Wu Sangui are seeking death, it will take at least three years for Yu Guozhen to manage the capital and Liaodong. In these three years, we must step up our efforts to move westward."
The generals were silent at first, and then someone timidly said: "How about surrendering?"
"I can surrender. I have an old relationship with Yu Jimin, and I can surrender without losing the reward of a title. You have committed so many crimes, how dare you surrender?" Li Yan sighed: "Back then, I followed King Chuang to repeatedly offend Yu Jimin, and also killed the people. There are so many people, how can there be no reason not to liquidate them with Yu's method of helping the people? Even if they don't lose their lives, they will just return to the countryside and become a farmer. Do you think there is still wealth and honor to enjoy?"
These words made everyone have to strengthen their determination to follow Li Yan westward.
