"Brother Hong, can the capital really be defended?"
After hearing the news that a large number of Donglu soldiers were found in the Fuchengmen area, the beautiful mother was extremely anxious. She was determined not to be captured by the Donglu. It would be a shame for the Ming Dynasty royal family, and she would be even more sorry for her husband who was far away in Nandu.
"Please rest assured, Queen Mother. Although the Donglu sneaked into the city through underground caves, they are only a small number after all. Their troops are at a disadvantage and there are no horses to assist them. They cannot cause much trouble. Zhou Yuji is in command, and the king's division has a large number of chariots and horsemen. , we can definitely thwart Donglu's conspiracy. To say the least, even if the capital cannot be defended, my son has ordered the airship troops to prepare the equipment for taking off. In the critical moment, my mother and son can still fly away in the airship. Today has been scraped When the west wind blows, you can quickly reach Tianjin by airship, and then go south by boat, which is beyond the reach of the Donglu cavalry."
Want to catch me?
There are no doors!
If you can bring down the airship, then you are considered capable.
Otherwise, you will just stare at me and watch me flee.
The Dog Emperor in your eyes has already gone to Nandu. If the Dog Queen and the Dog Prince run away again, then you will be in vain.
After the three members of the Ming Dynasty royal family reunited in Nandu, they could still order the army to continue to resist, and at least they could hold the front line of the Huaihe River.
It was nothing more than losing the capital, losing 100,000 soldiers and horses, and then the airship, tanks, and mortars were captured by Huang Taiji, plus the two gold mountains in the Monan area could not be mined.
The loss is not small, but the most important thing is to save your own life, then you will have a chance to make a comeback, otherwise you will not even have the chance.
"Then Brother Xun's younger brothers and sisters..."
Queen Zhou thought that the airship could only accommodate mother and son, so she had to worry about the fate of the other two children.
"Don't worry, mother, they can just take another airship. If one of the airships is in trouble, there is another airship that can reach Tianjin. As long as one prince survives successfully, he can inherit the throne after his father. Unified."
The beautiful mother's worries are not unreasonable, but a certain prince feels that this beautiful woman is still thinking about inheriting the throne. As the current empress of the Ming Dynasty, she is determined not to let Concubine Tian's son occupy the magpie's nest.
"...That's good!"
Empress Zhou could only nod blankly and agree. If she really couldn't escape, she would have no choice but to commit suicide with white silk in Kunning Palace as Brother Hong said before.
"It is better for the mother to be more open-minded. Her sons and ministers are already prepared, and so is Taiji, the leader of the captives. If the two armies fight inside and outside the capital, and both are destroyed in the end, then the Eastern captives will be decadent after this battle, and I, the Ming Dynasty, can regain my homeland of Liaodong. My son, my father, can also become the master of ZTE, and my mother and queen can ascend to the immortal world and be praised by Taizu Emperor Nainai. This is the reason why "life can bring glory to the ancestors, and death can make the name of the immortal world" Ce, whether the mother is alive or dead, she can clear her name!"
Since the person you want to persuade is your own mother, you might as well start the top-level deception mode. Anyway, the situation has reached a fever pitch.
"Brother Xun is determined, and the queen is not afraid anymore!"
The beautiful mother naturally knew to cheer up when she heard that she could go down in history, especially the sweetness of being "praised by Emperor Taizu and Emperor Nonai".
As the mother of a country, how could she panic at a time when the survival of the Ming Dynasty was at stake, when her husband was heading south and the capital was under siege?
"That's good, as the old saying goes, when we meet on a narrow road, the brave will win. There are millions of soldiers and minions in the capital fighting to the death. As the queen and prince, the queen mother and her sons must persevere to the end!"
I haven't used my venom grenade yet!
The smallpox virus hasn’t struck yet!
The missiles haven’t been fired yet!
How can you admit defeat so easily?
When all these have taken effect, Huang Taiji's braided army still refuses to retreat. At that time, he will shout: Brothers, let's retreat first, it's not too late!
"Brother Imperial, I have finished putting on my armor!"
The little fat man suddenly ran over with his helmet on. He probably guessed that he was going to run away, otherwise he would be sliced up and cooked in hot pot by the extremely vicious dog Tartar.
"Yeah! It's not needed for now. If you want to retreat in an airship, you have to remove all your armor. The airship's load capacity is extremely limited, so you can't go on it wearing armor."
Motivation is good, but this guy really can't do much to help other than "get tight on the spot when the front is tight".
"Oh! My brother, take it off right now!"
The little fat man had never built an airship before, so after hearing about the new way to escape, his eyes immediately lit up with excitement.
"The last general, Sun Yingyuan, came to see the Queen and His Royal Highness, and congratulated..."
"Okay, Sun Aiqing will be freed from the ceremony!"
This guy has been recuperating since he was injured below. If the capital had not been in critical condition, a certain prince would not have agreed to his request for an early comeback. He would have to recuperate for at least half a year.
"The last general..."
"I already know Aiqing's intention to fight. I have assigned Aiqing two hundred factory guards each, two hundred Han generals, four hundred chamberlains, and five hundred soldiers. We must stick to the Academy of Sciences and surrounding yamen. The Academy of Sciences is the place where airships are manufactured. The top talents of the Ming Dynasty, as well as craftsmen and family members are gathered inside, and we are determined not to let anything go wrong. There seems to be a lot of troops, but their combat power is uneven. How to command them depends on your ability. I have a precious sword, and you can use it whenever you encounter it. All obstacles can be cut off first and then dealt with, but people from the Academy of Sciences cannot be cut off!"
Now that troops were needed everywhere, a certain prince had no choice but to piece together 1,500 men for Sun Yingyuan.
If you really can't stand it, you can only count on these 1,800 people to delay the time so that the scientific researchers and their families can move elsewhere.
If you want to stick to the Academy of Sciences, it is almost impossible to succeed. With this rainbow-like ratio of combatants, it is good not to kill each other in the dark.
The Academy of Sciences itself has a strength of 500 troops. Now that it has deployed another 1,500 people, it should not be a big problem for a small group of more than 100 people.
"I will obey your orders!"
After months of training, Sun Yingyuan was finally able to feel proud. People around him nicknamed him "Sun Banban" in private, for no other reason.
But Sun Yingyuan wanted to prove through this battle that even if he was disabled, he could still defeat the Donglu, and at the worst, he could become the contemporary Zheng He.
"Have everyone entered the city?"
"My lord, that's right!"
"Hahahaha...good, good!"
Hauge, who was already restless behind the mound outside the city, suddenly became elated when he heard that the three thousand Zhenglan Banners and Eight Banners soldiers he had sent into the cave had successfully entered the city through the cave.
Hauge did not obey the orders of his emperor Ama, but ordered the coated Aha to dig six tunnels for blowing up Fuchengmen, and ordered to dig ten tunnels for transporting troops.
The six underground tunnels for blasting the city gate played a big role, but the city gate area of the capital was built extremely solidly. Even if Hauge ordered people to expand the size of the underground cave medicine room, it was not completely destroyed.
But it only frightened the defenders on top of the city. The city wall had completely become zigzag-shaped. By the time the day came, it might be possible to cause a landslide with a single blast from the red cannon.
However, the lesson the defenders used to use kerosene to teach the Qing army was still fresh in Hauge's memory. Losing two thousand eight-banner soldiers was no joke, so he focused his siege on the ten caves used to send troops.
In order to achieve the first victory, Hauge also made a desperate move. In addition to the one Jia La troops commanded by his 14th uncle Dorgon, he only left a fraction of the more than 3,000 Eight Banners soldiers who could fight.
All ten Niu Lu were fully loaded, and each cave placed a bet of one Niu Lu, and the Han army's Zhenghuang Banner Gushan'e Zhenshi Tingzhu and Zhenghong Banner Gushan'e Zhenwang Shixuan each sent out ten Niulu troops.
Since the sneak attack in the cave must quickly defeat the Ming soldiers and horses around the cave entrance, Hauge ordered the Zhenglan Banner to take the lead, followed by the two banners of the Han Army.
As long as there are no smoke, flooding, landslides or other bad situations in the cave, all soldiers in the cave, regardless of their status, can only go straight in and are not allowed to take a step back. Anyone who disobeys the order will be executed immediately.
After experiencing the nightmare lesson of kerosene, Haug ushered in his own moment of success.
Due to the large number of burrows in Fuchengmen, and the extremely deep and long excavations, all ten burrows bypassed the city head and trenches, and the entrances appeared directly on the west bank of the Cao River and the west side of Fuchengmen Street.
Nine thousand Qing soldiers entered the city without any damage, including three thousand Eight Banner soldiers from the Zhenglan Banner. Naturally, Hauge was very happy. As long as he could stand his ground, he might be able to break the city after daybreak.
The monstrous achievement of conquering the capital was about to fall on himself!
Hauge immediately reported the good news to his emperor, and also let the civil servants and generals who had always looked down on him know about it.
"Hahahaha...good, good! He is indeed my eldest son!"
After Huang Taiji heard the news, it was sweeter than honey. He suffered losses and was deceived for many days in a row, and was defrauded of more than 20,000 taels of silver by the young prince Man Ming. Huang Taiji began to get a little anxious and angry.
I didn't expect that my stupid son, who was always getting into trouble, would be the first to let his troops enter the city. After they conquered the capital, I really had to praise him.
Maybe this is destiny. If Haoge takes the lead in conquering the capital, he will be able to convince the public by passing the throne to Haoge a hundred years later.
"Come here! Transfer two Jia La with a yellow flag and three thousand warriors to Hauge's command, and a Niulu Ba Ya La will also go with them!"
"嗻!"
The city was about to be broken, so his troops had to show off, and they had to give Haug military reinforcements. Only in this way could the victory be consolidated, and it would also serve as a reward.
"Your Majesty is wise! The capture of the capital is just around the corner!"
Ning Wan, I didn’t expect that Hauge’s side would be the first to improve, and that nine thousand Qing warriors would successfully enter the city. This is simply unbelievable. With Hauge’s temperament, he would definitely not lie to his emperor. .
"My eldest brother is really witty and brave this time!"
Fan Wencheng gave him a flattery in time. Although Hauge's behavior was a reckless one, he was so lucky that he lost two thousand elite soldiers first and then allowed his troops to enter the city first. It's really beyond appearances. ah!
"Your Majesty, as long as the Zhenglan Banner and the Han Army's two banners attack Fucheng Gate in reverse, the Man Ming capital will be completely lost. Our Qing army will be able to enter the city with the force of the tide!"
Gang Lin seemed to have seen the majestic appearance of the city turning into the flag of the Qing Dynasty. This was the dream of thousands of Qing warriors and the long-cherished wish of the emperor.
"The defenders of the Man Ming Dynasty are just struggling to the death, allowing the dog prince to linger. As long as the eldest brother works harder, he can help the emperor change the dynasty, seize the northern territory of the Man Ming Dynasty in one fell swoop, and rule the world!"
The capture of the capital by the Qing Dynasty meant that half of the Ming Dynasty's Northern Zhili was lost. Since most of the entire Northern Zhili was plains, except for the northernmost part, it was almost impossible to defend.
Once the capital is lost, Beizhili will be captured by the Qing Dynasty within one month, Shandong and Shanxi will be captured by the Qing Dynasty within three months, and within half a year, the Qing army will surely be able to drink from the Huai River. .
"...What you dear ladies have said is in my heart!"
Huang Taiji finally ushered in a moment of triumph. He felt that this was the most comfortable time since he ascended the throne. It was a hundred times more comfortable than letting the other three Belles occupy his chair.
This time the army entered the customs to seize the capital and then march into the Central Plains. Judging from the current military situation, the longest time to achieve this goal is only two or three days.
Soon, Manming's palace became his own, and the tens of millions of taels of silver stored in it were also at his disposal, which could solve the Qing Dynasty's more than ten years of expenses at once.
Thinking of this, Huang Taiji was so excited that he couldn't sleep at night. He ordered his chamberlain to hold a banquet for the four ministers around him, so that he could have a drink and talk with his loved ones and share this wonderful moment.
"Go up! Go up, everyone! Break the imperial city, and everyone will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver!"
"boom!"
Hauge wanted to break through Fucheng Gate as soon as possible, and Huang Taiji also had the same idea. However, the Zhenglan Banner elite soldiers who entered the city found that they could not defeat the city gate building that was about to collapse on its own.
Because a trench several feet deep lay in front of them. It was too wide to jump over, and all the paths that could be found were blocked by chariots and horse piles.
Once the defenders at the top of the city discovered that they were moving obstacles on the passage, they would immediately fire back. For this reason, hundreds of Han soldiers had been killed by artillery on the spot.
They couldn't get through this trench, even if they tried to fill it with their lives. There is no other way, so we can only turn around and fight backwards, attacking along Fuchengmen Street.
According to the map, as long as you occupy this main street and then cross a narrow street to the east, you will reach the bright imperial city, where tens of millions of taels of silver are piled up!
It was precisely because of the temptation of a silver mountain that more than 8,000 Qing soldiers would risk their lives and launch one round of mad attacks eastward, regardless of casualties.
"Use tanks as cover! Each platoon defends in place! Those who retreat will be killed on the spot!"
The people guarding Fuchengmen Street were the East Palace Guards, and the commander was Zhou Yuji. With this backbone, and the support of a large number of tanks and cavalry, and the support of mortars behind them, they could withstand the enemy's tidal offensive.
In the entire west side of the inner city, Fuchengmen Street, which is in an excellent position, is the top priority for both sides to fight to the death.
Whoever controls this place will control the battlefield!
With the Cao River as the boundary, the west bank was densely packed with Qing soldiers. After the numerous artillery fire lit up the night, the number was so large that it was difficult to count with the naked eye.
On the east bank was a large mass of Ming army tanks, surrounded by armored musketeers loading ammunition, followed by a large group of cavalry preparing to counterattack.
The Qing army was in a leading position in terms of individual combat power, while the Ming army had an absolute advantage in weapons and equipment.
As the strength of the Qing army increased, it gradually began to launch a new round of fierce attacks on the Ming army.
If it weren't for the armored monster that the dog barbarian had in his hands, the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty would have slaughtered them all long ago.
"Kill the barbarian!"
"Come on!"
Thousands of Qing soldiers braved fierce artillery fire and ran along the street towards the Ming army's front line that kept firing on the opposite side.
Even for a thousand taels of silver, he must kill all the enemies in front of him.
Tonight is the last battle. After dawn, Man Ming will die...
