While the fighting started on the city walls of Weinan City in Tianjin, the fighting at the gate of the governor's office in the city also continued.
At the critical moment, Wu Xiang died somewhere? Anyway, he hasn’t come to save Chongzhen yet.
The Jin Yiwei, who was responsible for public security in the city, was also restrained by the commotion near the four gates of the city and was unable to come to support.
According to Wu Xiang's order, once the offensive and defensive battle of Tianjin Weinan City begins, Li Ruolian and the others' task is to guard the vicinity of the four gates of Tianjin - they cannot allow the rebels and the bandits outside the city to cooperate with each other to capture a city gate, otherwise they will lose everything. It's over.
As for the rioters in the city, no matter how small they were, how could they still capture the Fujun Grand Marshal's Mansion and Palace?
Looking back at the fighting at the Governor's Yamen, it's like meeting an opponent and meeting a good talent!
Whether it was the attacking mob or the defensive guards, they all formed a group and gathered outside the gate of the governor's office. Dead bodies lay on the ground, most of them in blue clothes and white hats. However, there are still about a thousand fake Dashun old soldiers wearing blue clothes and white hats outside the door, and they are still very powerful.
Fortunately, the gate of the governor's office was not very wide, and the walls on both sides were quite high. The mob could not find a ladder to climb in, so they had to squeeze in through the gate. But it's just a random squeeze, without any structure, and the numerical advantage cannot be used at all.
Similarly, Qin Mingtao, the flag general of the new army to overcome difficulties, was not very good at fighting. Under his leadership, dozens of golden armored soldiers were also in chaos. He just relied on the long weapons in his hands and his good armor to hold off the mob.
However, Zhu Chunchen, the commander-in-chief, was extremely brave. He and a fierce leader of the rebels (Fan Juren) went back and forth, beating each other with spears for dozens of rounds, and it was difficult to determine the winner...
Zhu Chunchen, who had not practiced martial arts for who knows how many years, was panting from exhaustion, but he was very proud in his heart.
The person he is fighting against now is the general of the old bandit camp! Just look at that black face and you can see how fierce he is. He can actually fight evenly with him. It seems that he really has a talent for martial arts. If he practiced more when he was young, he might be able to become a general among a million soldiers. The general. It’s true that if a young man doesn’t work hard, the old man will be sad...
On the other side, Fan Juren was also shocked by his martial arts. He didn't remember when he had practiced. He didn't expect that today he would have a close match with this Ming army general with a golden helmet... No wonder people are "low-grade in everything except reading." It turns out that as long as he Once you understand the saint's teachings, you will be able to do anything quickly!
…
"You little bastards! Have you seen the bow and arrow in my hand? I'm an expert at shooting at a hundred steps. If I shoot you in the left eye, it won't miss the right eyeball. Whoever takes the lead in escaping this time, I will kill him." Shoot him into a hedgehog, did you hear that?"
"heard it……"
"Damn it, if you hear it, give me a good charge. Charge along East Cross Street. Don't fight with others. Just charge. Only when you hear the sound of the gong can you turn around and retreat..."
"But Commander Wei, it seems we didn't bring the gong!"
"What's wrong with him is that he will never retreat until he makes progress. If he doesn't succeed, he will be benevolent!"
Somewhere on Dongmen Street, the one holding a horn bow to scare a group of armored knights was Wu Xiang, who had been "missing" for a while. It turned out that the old man was teaching a group of dandies how to fight a cavalry charge!
They were already on the battlefield, yet they actually had to teach their men how to charge. Wu Xiang was really dizzy... But it still needs to be taught, who can't do it?
However, the full set of horseback charging cannot be taught. I can only briefly explain the commands to advance and retreat. They don't care about charging with guns. These guys can't grasp the timing of letting go of their spears (the carbine has a rope tied to the saddle, so they're not afraid of losing it). If they really want to pick someone with a big gun on a galloping horse, their wrists won't be broken. No.
So just make it simple and just hit people with the horse's chest!
"Right now, rush for me!" Wu Xiang shouted loudly, "Run and trample those thieves to death..."
Under his command, a hundred or so knights in golden armor actually ran out of the effect of the torrent and rushed forward along the widest street in Tianjin towards the dense crowd gathered outside the governor's Yamen.
The ones at the front of the team were the white-haired armored men under Wu Xiang. Everyone was wearing double-layered heavy armor, and they charged straight away with their carbines in the air.
Wherever this group of heavily armored knights passed by, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and screams echoed to the sky. He only looked at the back of the rebels who were attacking the governor's Yamen, but they were suddenly trampled by the cavalry and collapsed almost immediately.
Although there are only more than a hundred cavalry, if they really want to charge, even if a regular Ming army comes to attack one or two thousand, it will not be able to hold them without a formation, let alone a group of rogues pretending to be rogues?
The rebels who just thought they could catch Emperor Chongzhen and offer them to Li Zicheng were either running away, being collided with by war horses, being swept away or carried by weapons, or being trampled on each other. In short, they suffered heavy casualties. The people who were watching the excitement on the side did not dare to sing any more to welcome King Chuang... They had already welcomed the king twice, so why couldn't they beat the Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers? Is it possible that the Ming Dynasty is not exhausted?
It's better to find a place to hide quickly, but don't let Jin Yiwei catch you!
Fan Daju was probably too immersed in the fight. He just screamed and competed with Zhu Chunchen, and didn't even notice the chaos behind him. But a white-haired servant under Wu Xiang had already seen him competing with Zhu Chunchen. The old man didn't care how happy the two of them were "playing", so he immediately galloped past Fan Juren, drew out his sword at the same time, and gently With a stroke on Fan Daju's neck, blood spurted out and splashed on Zhu Chunchen's face.
A black head also landed on the ground, rolled a few times before lying on its back and stopped, with a pair of big eyes staring wide, with a look of reluctance - I have such high martial arts, why do people chop off my head? Who is so wicked as to stab someone in the back?
Zhu Chunchen felt uncomfortable when he saw his good opponent having his head chopped off by Shengsheng like this. It's not easy to find an opponent these days. Just when he wanted to order someone to put away the hero's head and bury him alive with his body. Suddenly someone shouted in my ear: "South Gate, there's a fire at the South Gate... Could it be that the bandits have attacked the city?"
…
Bang bang bang...
When the volley of volleys of muskets rang out on the battlefield outside Weibei City, Tianjin, Tang Tong's veterans could no longer stop the rout of the mob ahead.
A close-range volley of muskets and a cavalry group charge are enough to put a regular army into crisis, let alone a group of mobs?
And just as the platoon was firing, Wu Sanfu had already driven his cavalry to attack from both wings of the chaotic bandit formation.
The platoon guns and cavalry came together. Even Tang Tong's own veterans might not be able to bear them, let alone those cannon fodder?
Tang Laosi, who was supervising the battle at the rear, did not dare to persist anymore. He just waved his hand and said: "Withdraw! Withdraw to the barrier!"
Then he led thousands of his subordinates and ran toward the barrier where Tang Tong was standing like a wind and a cloud. When he saw Tang Tong, whose face was ashen, he did not apologize, but shouted loudly: "The main town can't be completed, the officers and soldiers are so fierce..."
Before he could finish his words, his left cheek felt raw and painful - he had received a big scratch on his ear!
Tang Tong jumped to his feet and yelled: "Asshole, why are the officers and soldiers so fierce...Who are the officers and soldiers now? Who are the thieves and soldiers?"
"Headquarters..." Tang Laosi covered his face in grievance.
Tang Tong was still angry and cursed: "You bastard, you will run away as soon as the red thief rushes you. What does he do for food? What kind of useless thing is he acting as a guerrilla? Get out! Get away from me!"
Seeing Tang Tong getting angry, Tang Laosi didn't dare to reply and hid quickly. Tang Tong seemed to be still angry and loudly ordered Tang Laosi to be dismissed from his post and beaten to the end. Then he strictly ordered his subordinates to stick to the barrier. In his opinion, the battle of Tianjin Guard was the final battle of the Ming Dynasty. So what if the Ming army fought well? Everything is going smoothly in the world!
Now the pontoon bridge on the Wei River has been burned, the Zheng family's navy has fled, and Tianjin Nancheng is also besieged by Chen Yongfu's troops.
He stood up, stretched his neck and looked at Tianjin Weinan City in the distance, only to see thick smoke rising into the sky!
It seems that the overall situation of the Battle of Tianjin has been decided, and the Ming Dynasty is finally finished...
