    (Old White Niu: There are still three chapters to go and it¡¯s over. Several years of hard work have finally come to fruition.) With the sound of drums, dense shield carts pushed closer and headed back to Longguan.  This was the left-wing front of the Qing army attacking the Jingbian Army. Prince Duduo of Henan supervised the battle and led half of the Eight Banners, including the Han Eight Banners, the Japanese Eight Banners, the Xian Eight Banners, etc.  In addition to the shield vehicle moving forward, in the Japanese Eight Banners positions, there are also Japanese unique protective equipment such as bamboo bundles and walking sticks.  As the main infantry force, they need to be forced to the front of the Jingbian Army, at least one or two miles away, so that Duduo, the supervisor, can continuously arrange the attack.  After the Japanese and other daimyo surrendered, because the time was still short, they basically did not change their clothes except for shaving their heads, so their array looked quite dazzling, with colorful family crests and horse seals, and coquettishly dressed maidens and banner warriors.  .  Even the Ashigaru are wearing bamboo armor painted with bright red and black paint, and they are equipped with densely packed flags, which is quite eye-catching.  The daimyo who served as the real feudal lords of Gushanfu wore extremely gorgeous armor and horned helmets, and they looked ferocious.  They dressed up so coquettishly that they naturally attracted a lot of attention.  The Japanese Eight Banners and the Xian Eight Banners had 16,000 bannermen, and they all went out for this battle. They were very active in going out to fight. Liaodong was vast and sparsely populated, and the land was fertile, but it lacked a population. They also hoped to have more people entering the customs this time.  Grab some coating.  Because they were conquered, they were also full of confidence in the fighting power of the Eight Banners of Manchuria and Mongolia, not to mention that after entering the customs, they seized sharp weapons that frightened them, such as the big barrel and the collapse of the country.  This confidence was maintained until after the Jingbian Army rocket was launched, the Japanese were horrified to discover that there were firearms in the world that were sharper than the collapse of the country.  "Compared with the sharp weapons of the Jingbian Army, the dozens of big guns on our side and the collapse of the country are obviously not enough.  At this time, there were only five large barrels in front of the Chinese army's formation. Compared with the firearms owned by the Jingbian Army on the opposite side, they were insignificant.  They have about 8,000 people from four banners in this left-wing formation. There are 16,000 Han and eight-banner bannermen from the four banners in the center and front formation. They and the Koreans from the four banners are on both wings. Finally, Dodo leads the army.  Some Manchu bannermen held the formation to supervise the battle.  With the golden drum order, they moved forward slowly. The formation on the left wing had already made many feudal lords breathless. The troops and horses were too vast.  Looking further to the left, you can vaguely see the right-wing troops who are following the army. They are even more boundless. Added together, it is probably a battle of millions of people. Has it ever happened before in the history of Japan?  It was only when I came to China that I saw the big world.  "Compared to the fact that domestic battles involving 10,000 people can be recorded in history books, participating in this war will definitely be remembered in history.  Just when these feudal lords were filled with emotion and full of pride, the Jingbian Army placed five Hongyi heavy artillery pieces, five heavy mortar cannons, and twenty ordinary Hongyi cannons at the Huilongguan position and roared and opened fire at them, hitting them from three miles to two.  Mile, hit another mile.  These days, the Eight Flags, with their brightly colored armor and the sea of ??colorful flags, are as eye-catching as standing out from the crowd. If not to hit them, who will be hit?  Not to mention that they still have thousands of iron gunners. The Japanese iron gunners have always been famous. Guns were introduced from the Japanese country. The Jingbian Army will not let these iron gunners exist.  When necessary, rockets would be brought in to wipe them out in one fell swoop. Therefore, as the array approached, the Eight Banners were severely beaten these days.  " Walking almost one meter per second, maintaining the military formation, pushing the cart, walking even slower. At this distance, the artillerymen of the Jingbian Army took aim calmly, so that the Eight Banners took countless shots in those days.  With the booming sound of cannons, white smoke rose up from the village on the side of Xuanfu Palace. A cannonball weighing more than ten kilograms roared towards the ground. It stirred up a large ball of soil with a loud bang, then jumped up violently and rushed towards the shield in front.  The car hit hard.  With a bang, the carefully crafted shield cart immediately broke into pieces. The pieces exploded in all directions, and the Japanese coating on the cart screamed and rolled over a large area.  The more than ten kilograms of solid iron balls lost their momentum and hit the bamboo bundle pushed from behind with great force.  Bamboo bundles can effectively protect against bullets, but they cannot protect against cannons. Especially the solid iron balls emitted by such heavy artillery broke into pieces with a crashing sound, and several pieces of rifle rafts that followed were also smashed into pieces.  The walking stick is a sharp weapon against arrows, but its anti-collision ability is far inferior to that of a bamboo bundle. Being hit by a solid iron ball weighing more than ten kilograms is as easy as breaking through a pile of toys.  Then the heavy solid iron ball pounced on the iron gunners who were lined up behind them. They stood in a dense column and were hit by the solid iron ball, causing a very tragic scene.  Broken limbs and meat, fragments of weapons, flags and armor were dancing wildly. After the solid iron ball finally stopped, the area was filled with hoarse screams and blood everywhere. Many Japanese flags with missing arms and legs were rolling in a pool of blood.Howl.  The special soldier was rolling while holding his little foot. His right little foot was cut off at the knee. Blood gushed out like a fountain. The severed part still exposed the pale leg bones, as well as some remaining muscles after tearing.  Extremely terrifying.  Another heavy artillery shell was fired into the vicinity of a large military formation, knocking over a large area of ??the female warriors and flag warriors acting as bagaras. These people were riding on their horses, and a solid iron ball weighing more than ten kilograms collided past.  There were screams and neighs of men and horses, and broken limbs and fragments of armor were scattered.  These Japanese warriors exclaimed: "The country has collapsed the country has collapsed" Duduo looked over there with some worry. The artillery of the Jingbian Army kept roaring, beating his own position to cry for father and mother, especially the Japanese Eight Banners.  The whole thing is in chaos and looks like it will collapse at any time.  Compared with the Han army and the Koreans, these Japanese were poor in the ability to withstand artillery fire. He was worried about whether they could advance to the front of the Jingbian Army.  He ordered the soldiers accompanying the formation to strengthen supervision. Regardless of the banners of Han, Dynasty, or Japan, no matter high or low, anyone who dared to fear and disobey orders or flee in panic was killed.   The fierce artillery roared, and the same solid iron ball weighing more than ten kilograms roared over. A solid shield car on the right wing of the formation was smashed to pieces. The shell also threw into the troops behind the shield car.  Along the way, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and the screams were deafening.  Some cart-wrapped soldiers and the soldiers in the rear broke down and ran away, shouting, and then were unceremoniously chopped down to the ground by the flag men escorting the formation.  Compared with the Qing army, these original Ming troops had fewer opportunities to be attacked by artillery. Faced with the threat of artillery, even if many of them were elite Guan Ning soldiers, they were all terrified. Without the supervision of the Qing soldiers, they would not be able to survive.  In front of the Jingbian Army formation.  Tang Tong silently withdrew his gaze and glanced at the expressionless Wu Sangui.  Seeing Wu Sangui looking at him, he quickly turned his head away, with a hint of fierceness still remaining in the corner of his eyes.  ¡­¡­ To the west of the capital, there are a series of beautiful peaks, towering and beautiful, towering over Jiyou, which is called a scenic spot.  On Cuifeng Mountain, Gao Gui held up his telescope and looked at the activities in the capital. The cavalry left camp general Zhuang Huizu beside him looked at the sundial next to him from time to time, watching the shadow of the sun move, corresponding to the hour scale on the dial.  , the appointed time is coming soon.  He looked in the direction of the capital, and then looked back at the foot of Cuifeng Mountain. Thick hats and helmets covered the valley floor. The metallic light of armor, spears, and muskets extended all the way to the other side of the mountain. Thick sun and moon wave flags were blowing in the wind.  .  Since yesterday, these 30,000 people have been hiding in this area thirty miles away from the capital, waiting until today, until this time.  Soon, the appointed time is coming.   In the capital, on top of the towering Deshengmen city wall, an official who surrendered worriedly said to Niu Jinxing: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister, rumors have been spreading in the capital recently. It seems that there are people advocating for righteousness and causing chaos. There is something wrong with this atmosphere." Niu  Jin Xing frowned slightly, and finally waved his hand and said: "The main force of the army is heading north, and there are only 20,000 people left in the city. It is not surprising that there are some small people in the Mingxiao who are inciting the ignorant people to cause chaos. As long as my army comes back victorious, they will all be turned into powder."  Everyone should be cautious in the near future and stay out of trouble. "These demoted officials looked at each other with regret. After Li Zicheng led the main force northward on April 17, the atmosphere in the capital was different. Even the dullest person could feel it.  There is going to be a big storm coming.  After they voiced their concerns, Prime Minister Niu, who was left behind, was at a loss and asked them to be cautious.  ¡°Alas, it seems that this bandit¡¯s coming back to seek wealth and wealth in the new dynasty is just a dream.  At this time, they followed six government officials including Niu Jinxing, Song Xiance, Gu Junen, Song Qijiao, and Zhang Linran, and inspected the city's defense with them. Song Qijiao and others heard Niu Jinxing's voice, but they were silent.  From the high spirits when we first entered the city to the time when everyone is worried and frightened, it has only been a month.  Who knew it would be like this after entering Beijing? Everyone just hopes that the army on the front line will win.  Among this group of people, Zehoutian Jianxiu was at the forefront. He and Niu Jinxing and other civil servants stayed behind. The headquarters' 3,000 old battalions, some outside battalions, and part of the capital battalion totaled 20,000 people to guard the inner and outer cities. Compared with the huge capital,  It really feels like the troops are not enough for use and are stretched everywhere.  He also felt the strange atmosphere in the capital. However, the main army left the city and headed north, with only a small number of troops in hand. Even if he wanted to make a difference, he felt that he was unable to do anything.  He also heard Niu Jinxing's voice. Apart from frowning, he had no other expression. He stood by the city wall and looked north, thinking about how much food and grass he would need to supply today, and when King Chuang could win.  ?  ¡° Such a majestic and magnificent capital, I really want to occupy it forever.  He was patrolling the city defenses, and he was naturally followed by his relatives.Xiaoqi, his three thousand old battalions were divided into multiple gates in the inner city, one in the east and one in the west. There were only a dozen or so personal followers around him, and among them there were five armored soldiers who attracted attention.  "Compared with other old soldiers who were lightly armored and unarmored, they were all heavily armored, and each piece of armor was made of fine iron. They looked extremely heavy and thick, and the armor leaves clanked loudly when they walked.  These soldiers are five brothers. Tian Jianxiu accidentally rescued them in Henan two years ago. Since then, these five brothers have been following him. They have been with him through life and death in the past two years, and have saved Tian Jianxiu and others many times.  Life is extremely trusted and valued by Tian Jianxiu himself.  After entering Beijing, Tian Jianxiu knew that these five people liked heavy armor, so he specially collected these five sets of armor from the warehouse.  "I wonder how the fight is going at Qinghe Store?" Tian Jianxiu said to himself, still looking at the wilderness outside the city, but stretching his hand back.  One of the soldiers understood and took out a box of "Gaoqianzong Brand" small cigarettes, smoked one and gave it to Tian Jianxiu, and the other soldier took out a fire seal from his waist and lit it for him.  Tian Jianxiu slowly puffed out a puff of smoke. This small cigarette is really good. Smoking one will make all your worries disappear. After entering the capital, he collected some from a marquis' mansion, and now there are only a few boxes left.  I heard that there are a lot of small cigarettes in Xuanfu Town. I hope that after defeating them, I can collect some large cigarettes from Wang Dou's Mansion.  He was thinking about it, but unexpectedly, several armored soldiers exchanged glances behind him. The first armored soldier looked at the sky and nodded.  With a sudden cry, the first soldier pulled out a long knife from his waist. With a flash of cold light, he stabbed Tian Jianxiu straight into his heart. With a "pop" sound, blood spurted out straight away.  This sudden knife made Tian Jianxiu's eyes widen. His face was full of disbelief, and he let out a beast-like howl. He grabbed the protruding blade with one bloody hand, and wanted to scratch the person behind him with the other hand.  .  The armored soldier pressed hard on the handle of the knife. His face was splashed with blood drops shot from Tian Jianxiu's body, and the sharp blade was still twisting slowly.  Tian Jianxiu fluttered and roared, but couldn't turn around. In the end, he grabbed the city wall with both hands and slid down, without even seeing who stabbed him.  The armored soldier put one foot on Tian Jianxiu's body and pulled out the knife with a "puff" sound. Blood immediately splashed onto the city wall and onto the city bricks, which was shocking.  This scene of the rabbit rising and the falcon falling stunned everyone present. A follower reacted and shouted angrily: "Master Marquis." He was about to pull out the weapon from his waist. With a cry, a soldier in armor came again.  He pulled out the long knife, and with a "pop" sound, it fiercely penetrated through his left eye and came out from the back of his head.  Immediately, blood mixed with brain matter, red and white, splattered all over the wall and the floor.  Another follower roared and slashed at him with his sword. The armored soldier did not dodge. The long sword of the follower struck his armor. Sparks shot out from the clanging sound.  Taking advantage of this gap, the armored soldier did not hesitate and struck the follower's neck with the long knife in his hand.  Most of the neck of the follower was split open, and a large amount of blood spurted out. The other person fell to the ground with a "thud", his body still twitching.  There was a flash of cold light and screams, and soon all of Tian Jianxiu's personal followers were killed by five armored soldiers. There were many blood marks on their armor, and the air here was also filled with the smell of blood.  At the same time, there were sounds of killing nearby, and several groups of warriors wearing iron armor hurried towards this side.  Niu Jinxing and others were so frightened that they screamed again and again. An official wanted to escape, but a long knife was stabbed from his abdomen to the back. When the knife was pulled out, a large amount of blood poured out from his mouth and the wound. The official was gone.  Falling to the ground, screaming at the top of his lungs.  Niu Jinxing and others' eyes widened to their maximum size, they huddled together and screamed in horror.  At this time, the group of sharp soldiers rushed forward. They nodded with the people here. The leading soldier took out his waist card and shouted sharply at Niu Jinxing and others: "The sergeant of Huangming Xuanfu Town is here, you and others are here."  Thief, why don't you catch him quickly? "" In the low alleys of Chongwenmen Street, dense crowds of rural elders are hiding, each holding a stick, a hoe, a fork handle, a kitchen knife and other weapons in their hands.  Those who didn't say anything were just hiding and gathering here.  Their leader was Tang Yanji, the cold-faced armored soldier. At this time, he had put on his fine iron heavy armor. He was holding a long knife in his hand and his face was expressionless. He only looked up at the sky from time to time.  Not far behind him was Zhang Shouyin of the squadron, holding a spear in his hand. Due to excessive force, the veins in his hand were exposed. There was also Yang Bagu standing beside him, holding a kitchen knife in his hand, gritting his teeth and his eyes were red.  Looking at these densely packed hometown elders, all of them are silent, just waiting for the time to kill the thief.  They were both men and women, old and young, and they just waited quietly.  Suddenly theyThey all looked up to the sky, and a sharp roar was heard in the air. They saw a huge rocket rising into the sky from the inner city, and then exploded in mid-air. Finally, bright fireworks flashed, which was very gorgeous.  The gorgeous fireworks slowly merged into two golden characters: "Wan Sheng!" The loud thunder shook Zhang Shouyin, Yang Bagu and others, and all the neighbors were also shocked.  Tang Yanji roared and shouted: "Kill all the thieves!" Taking the lead, he rushed out with his sword.  "Kill the bandits!" Zhang Shouyin shouted at the top of his lungs, holding up his spear and rushing out.  "Kill the thief!" Countless neighbors rushed out, wielding their crude weapons.  "Kill the thief!" Not only this street, but also the nearby streets and alleys, the outer city, the inner city, and near the gates of the capital, there were voices shouting to kill. The voices were male and female, old and young, and the voices were louder and louder.  The whole city of Beijing was shouting: "Kill the thief!" Yang Bagu followed Zhang Shouyin and rushed out. She held the pot lid in her left hand and the kitchen knife in her right hand. As she rushed, she kept yelling: "Kill!"  Kill the thief! Kill the thief!¡± Her voice spread far and wide, and the whole city of Beijing shouted loudly, killing the thief.  There was a loud noise for hundreds of miles inside and outside, children and women were beating gongs and drums, and copper bathtubs were beating to help.  There are also people who throw beds and gates to block the avenue, or transport utensils and pile them up at the entrance of the alley to prevent thieves from passing through.  The tiles and rocks were flying like crows, and the dust was blurred. Men kept climbing to the roof and lying on the eaves to wait. When a thief passed by, they would throw bricks, tiles, wood and rocks down to hit the thief.  Millions of people in the capital all stood out in the alleys, vowing to kill all the thieves.   "Okay, the time is up, there is a signal!" Gao Gui retracted the telescope fiercely, and the densely packed military officers around him also retracted the telescope. At a distance of thirty miles, if you don't keep an eye on it, the fireworks signal sent over there may be lost.  Ignore the past.  Looking at the officers beside him, Gao Gui said in a deep voice: "Gentlemen, this is how you will regain the capital and defeat the bandits." He roared fiercely: "Kill all the bandits!" "Wan Sheng!" Passionately  When the order sounded, the cavalry from the left camp of the Chinese Army rushed out first. Thousands of them rushed out of the valley, like a rolling torrent of metal, towards the Fucheng Gate of the inner city. They needed to race against time, otherwise the people of the capital would be sacrificed.  big.  There was also the noble left battalion of the White Tiger Army, who also rushed out on horseback and headed towards Guang'an Gate in the outer city. Then the remaining soldiers of the third-class battalion ran in and entered Fucheng Gate and Guang'an Gate respectively.  The cavalry is rushing, the horses are like a tide, the hoofbeats are like thunder, and the dense hats and helmets are shaking, and the rhythmic footsteps are heard under the layers of spears and flintlocks.  The city gate has been opened, and finally, amid overwhelming cheers, the fluttering sun and moon wave flags entered the capital. The cavalry from the left battalion of the Chinese army first rushed into Fucheng Gate, and then the noble left battalion of the White Tiger Army rushed into Guang'an Gate, and then  The soldiers of the C-class army from each battalion soon entered the city through the second gate.  The cold light of the dense weapons swayed rhythmically. They kept running, and the torrent of eight-petal hats and helmets continued to enter the city.  (To be continued.)
