Qian Qian was stunned for a while, and then shouted: "Report to the governor immediately, the city gate is open!"
"yes!"
The messenger from the artillery camp galloped towards the Chinese army on horseback, and then Qian Qian mobilized ten rocket launchers to move forward: "Rush up, concentrate fire on the city gate at fifty steps, and don't let the Tatars close the city gate!"
Soon, the ten rocket launchers advanced to a position fifty steps outside the city gate and then took turns bombarding the east city gate.
At this time, soldiers and horses from Manchuria with yellow flags rushed up from the city, either holding shields or pushing wooden carts, trying to close the open city gate.
However, fierce rockets continued to fire, and the Qing soldiers holding shields were killed one after another. The shields were unable to withstand the gunpowder-assisted arrows, and almost all of them were shattered by the huge thrust.
Those wooden carts were also difficult to withstand. Although they would not be shot to pieces by rockets, most of the rockets could penetrate the boards on the wooden carts. The Qing soldiers hiding behind suffered many casualties, and the rest also fled in panic. Went back.
The short distance of twenty or thirty steps inside the city gate was already an unreachable distance for the Qing troops in the city.
At this time, Ji'erhalang, Azige, Baiyintu, and Abatai received the news one after another. When the four of them heard that the East City Gate was opened by soldiers with Han army flags, they were frightened to death and continued to mobilize troops from all over the city. Horses came over to support, and then the four of them also led their personal guards to rush here. When they saw that the city gate had been blocked by the New Army artillery battalion, the soldiers and horses with yellow flags in Manchuria could not rush forward or close the door. The four of them were anxious. Got to be furious.
"Charge forward. If you don't want to die, then charge forward for me!"
Azig roared angrily, and Baiyintu also scolded loudly.
The soldiers and horses under his command rushed to close the door.
Ji'erhalang looked at the top of the city and said, "Let the archers go up to the top of the city and release arrows immediately. Shoot the New Army gunners outside the city and release arrows!"
Soon, arrows rained down from the top of the city. The gunners of the ten rocket launchers were immediately hit, and more than a dozen people were hit by arrows and fell down.
Qian Yanwang was furious when he saw it. The Qing troops on the city had already withdrawn, and the east wall was already undefended. Who would have thought that Qing troops would appear again now!
"Grandma, I originally thought that after bombarding for a while, I could let the rest of the battalions climb into the city and fight their way in, but I didn't expect that the Tatars also started to fight hard!"
Qian Qian was thinking in his mind when he heard the sound of the army marching behind him. Looking back, he saw that the formations of the new army's guard camp and rear camp had already rushed up. More than 20,000 soldiers formed a formation and advanced to the east. Under the city wall, nearly 20,000 muskets began to fire. The Qing archers who were releasing arrows on the city wall were immediately killed and injured.
Miao Shao roared angrily: "Charge into Yanqing Prefecture and capture Huang Taiji alive!"
"Surge into Yanqing Prefecture and capture Huang Taiji alive!"
At the same time, Liu Yan had issued an order for a general attack by the entire army. The New Army's front camp, left camp, and right camp, as well as the second, third, and fifth battalions of the garrison, successively launched into the siege battle. All sides of Yanqing Prefecture were surrounded. It was the Ming army officers who roared and charged, and a hundred thousand troops surrounded the city.
In the Chinese army, the cavalry battalion staff general Xu Ming walked back and forth anxiously, looking at the soldiers in front of him who were constantly shooting at the enemy and charging with ladders, and kept shouting loudly to cheer for the soldiers in front.
Liu Yan smiled when he saw this, and naturally understood Xu Ming's mood. Didn't he have no chance to charge? Now he has great command
The army has been formed, and I, the governor of Shandong, can only sit in the rear. In the foreseeable future, I estimate that I will not even have the opportunity to lead the army on expeditions and personally participate in the battle.
"Look, Governor, the Guards Battalion has rushed into the East City Gate!"
When Liu Yan was sighing, he suddenly heard Xu Ming shouting loudly. Liu Yan, Xun Jingyun and Wu Guojin behind him raised their telescopes almost at the same time. Sure enough, they saw that the soldiers of the Guards Battalion had rushed into the east city gate like a tide, and the city The Qing troops above them had all been killed by cannons, and no one could even be seen moving.
"Order all battalions to step up their attacks. We must capture Yanqing Prefecture City before nightfall today!"
"yes!"
Ahead, Wu Xingzhou, the guerrilla general of the Guards Battalion, personally led his troops into the city. Standing inside the east city gate, he saw that the surrounding Qing soldiers had been cleared away, but in the distance, many Qing soldiers could be seen rushing towards them, shouting. , so he shouted: "Form up! Stay here and cover the comrades from behind as they enter the city!"
The first batch of soldiers from the guard camp who rushed in had a sentry. More than 280 soldiers in this sentry had formed a formation and were blocking the city gate. Wu Xingzhou stood behind the horizontal formation and roared: "Let go! "
boom!
After a volley of fire, most of the hundreds of Manchurian soldiers with yellow flags rushing forward were immediately knocked down. The soldiers and horses behind were also frightened and retreated. This wave of attacks was repelled.
"Fifty steps forward!"
"Tiger! Tiger! Tiger!"
Wu Xingzhou led his troops forward fifty steps, and a steady stream of soldiers from the guard battalion rushed into the city. Then they rushed up the city wall along the horse path. On the city wall, they rushed towards the north and south sides, clearing the defensive positions on the top of the city. Qing army strength. Guards Battalion Guerrilla General Lu
Ying and Bai Mingxun each led a unit to personally clear out the Qing troops on the city.
At the same time, Miao Shao also led a large number of guards into the city, laughed and said to the soldiers on the left and right: "Haha, okay, today is the end of the slave chief Huang Taiji!"
boom!
There were constant volleys of cannon fire from the front, but the Qing soldiers were obviously going crazy. Facing the city that was about to fall, the soldiers and horses with yellow flags in Manchuria began to charge forward one after another, and even rushed to a distance of more than ten steps in front of the formation.
Fortunately, thousands of soldiers and horses had gathered on Wu Xingzhou's side, and Wu Xingzhou roared angrily: "Thunder! Throw!"
boom!
A large number of thunderbolts exploded in front of them at close range. At least a hundred Manchurian heavy armors with yellow flags were blown over. Violent air waves swept in all directions. Wu Xingzhou and the New Army officers also took a few steps back. .
"Fire the bayonet!"
Wu Xingzhou roared excitedly, and then led thousands of guardsmen to advance forward, assassinating the Qing soldiers one by one who had been blown to pieces by the thunder.
"good!"
Miao Shao also yelled: "Come forward with me!"
A large number of personal guards also formed a formation and moved forward at this moment, following Wu Xingzhou's troops as they advanced into the city.
Later, Wang Yue also led the rear battalion of the New Army into the city one after another. At this time, all the city defenses in the east of Yanqing Prefecture had been occupied by the New Army soldiers. The soldiers of the various units spread out along the streets in the city and fought fiercely with the Qing army's banner soldiers and horses. of street fighting.
"Supervisor, according to the urgent report from the commanders of each battalion, now the east gate, north gate, south gate, and west gate of Yanqing Prefecture have been captured, as well as the new army's guard camp, rear camp, left camp, and right camp, and the garrison Most of the second and third battalions have broken into the city and are fighting with the Qing army's banners.
Start a street fight. "
Xun Jingyun excitedly reported the news from each battalion to Liu Yan. Liu Yan nodded with a smile and said, "How do you think Huang Taiji is feeling now?"
Xu Ming said: "Life must be worse than death!"
Wu Guojin said: "I think Huang Taiji must be extremely regretful and should not have led his army south to enter the pass!"
At this time Xun Jingyun said: "Isn't there intelligence that Huang Taiji is ill? Before, Huang Taiji's banner never appeared on the city. Governor, tell me, is Huang Taiji seriously ill now?"
Liu Yan nodded and said, "We'll find out later. Then the governor will meet Huang Taiji in person. I heard that Huang Taiji is fat, but I don't know if it's true."
Xu Ming smiled and said: "It must be true, otherwise how can it be called wild boar skin? It must be as fat as a pig!"
Everyone laughed.
In the city, Jierhalang came to the Zhizhou Yamen in despair, accompanied by only a dozen Baya soldiers from Manchuria's Xianglan Banner.
At this time, the soldiers and horses of Manchuria's blue flag were also defeated by the soldiers of the New Army in the north. Seeing that the warriors in the flag suffered heavy casualties, even in close combat, the warriors in the flag were defeated one after another. The soldiers of the new army were all fearless. Even if he had to die in exchange for his life, he would still continue to charge. Jierhalang had never seen such a desperate soldier, and the fighting spirit in his heart to defend the city suddenly disappeared.
Jierhalang rushed directly into the Zhizhou Yamen. There were still 12,000 Manchurian Zhenghuang Banner soldiers and horses stationed here. They occupied all the streets and houses near the Zhizhou Yamen, waiting for the new army departments to rush over and fight to the death. .
"His Majesty!"
Jierhalang strode to the backyard and saw Hauge
Wearing armor, holding a tiger gun in his hand, and behind him were thirty Manchurian Zhenghuang Banner Baya La elites, guarding outside the house where Huang Taiji was.
"Prince Zheng, how is the war situation outside?"
Jierhalang said with a tragic face: "The city is broken. Liu Yan's soldiers and horses have rushed into the city from all sides, and the warriors of all banners are fighting to the death!"
Hauge shook his head when he heard this, and then gritted his teeth and said, "Well done! Today I will lead my troops to fight Liu Yan to the death, and let those Chinese dogs know how unyielding the descendants of Tian Cong Khan are!"
Jierhalang asked hurriedly: "How is your Majesty's condition?"
Hauge's expression darkened and he said, "I just woke up, but..."
Having said this, Hauge shook his head slightly, and Jierhalang let out a long sigh, then grabbed Hauge and said: "Now only the Zhenghuang Banner soldiers and horses have not been damaged, Prince Su immediately led the Zhenghuang Banner to break out from the north, maybe There is still a glimmer of hope!"
"You let me leave Khan Amma and escape alone!"
Jierhalang said: "For the sake of the Qing Dynasty, you must live, go quickly!"
At this moment, Abatai also rushed in covered in blood. When he saw Jierhalang and Hauge here, he loudly said: "Prince Su, hurry up, Liu Yan's troops have already rushed into the city!"
Ji'erhalang said anxiously: "Immediately send someone to inform King Azige of Wuying County and Xianghuangqi Gushan'e Zhenbaiyintu, and ask them to lead their troops to break out to the south and west, and cover Prince Su's rush out to the north!"
But Abatai said: "On the way here, I encountered defeated troops with white and yellow flags. Prince Wuying and Baiyintu have been killed in the battle. Now Liu Yan's troops are heading here from all directions."
Come on, let Prince Su lead his troops to break out from the north. As for whether he can rush out, it depends on whether Tian Conghan's heroic soul can bless him! "
Jirharang gritted his teeth and said to Abatai: "In this way, you and I will each lead our troops to feign a breakout!"
Abate said with a sad smile: "Okay, Your Majesty is not kind to us. Today, we will learn from the Han people and be loyal!"
At this time, Hauge was already in tears. He didn't understand why the Qing Dynasty was at its peak. Why was he directly facing the danger of national subjugation when he went south?
Until now, Hauge still doesn't understand why Dorgon and Duduo split the army and why they rushed back to the outside world.
Could it be that after destroying half of the elites of the Qing Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty could still let Dorgon, Duduo and others outside the pass go, and would Liu Yan still allow them to exist in Liaodong?
"Prince Su, don't hesitate anymore, let's go!"
Seeing that Hauge still didn't move, Jilharang and Abatai urged him, but Hauge said: "I want to say goodbye to Khan Amma first!"
Jirharang almost fainted when he heard this. How long has it been since then, and you still pay attention to this?
I saw Jierharang grabbing Haug's armor and pushing it outwards, almost pushing Haug to the ground. Then under Haug's surprised gaze, he said angrily: "Quickly leave!"
Hauge nodded solemnly, and rushed out of the Zhizhou Yamen surrounded by a group of Manchurian Zhenghuang Banner soldiers.
