Chapter 770: Entering the Palace
"Shooting...... Shooting ......"
"Kill those dog offals for Lao Tzu!"
The battlefield was filled with the screams of wounded soldiers and the sound of firecrackers, and all that remained was the screams of the officers.
Although Yang Feng got a batch of walkie-talkies from modern society, due to the constraints of various conditions, it was impossible for Yang Feng to equip troops on a large scale, and could only be equipped in small batches to some more important troops such as the Fujian Navy Division, the Night Battalion, and the Artillery Battalion, and basically relied on the voice of the officers to issue orders on the front-line battlefield.
After four or five consecutive rounds of volleys, this sharp knife composed of more than 100 elite vest soldiers was broken by the muskets of the Jiangning army, and when the smoke on the battlefield dissipated, there was no one standing on the entire street except for corpses everywhere.
This Qian general manager walked up to Yuan Chonghuan and saluted and said loudly: "Lord Yuan, the team of Tartars in front has been annihilated, what should we do next, please reprimand!" ”
Seeing that the rows of Tartars in the distance who had previously scattered their attacking troops were easily wiped out by these hundreds of Jiangning troops, and not even one of them could escape, Yuan Chonghuan was already stunned by the scene in front of him.
Although it was not the first time to observe the battle of the Jiangning Army, Yuan Chonghuan was still shocked by the combat effectiveness of the Jiangning Army.
Once upon a time, Yuan Chonghuan always believed that as long as the Liaodong Army was equipped with the same firearms as the Jiangning Army, then the Liaodong Army would be no worse than the Jiangning Army, but now it is found that it is not possible to become powerful with good firearms, and the most important thing is those who operate firearms.
He couldn't help but think in his heart: "It seems that there is still a long way to go to surpass the Jiangning Army, I really don't know how that guy trained those soldiers and officers, why the quality is so high, looking at the quality shown by that Qianzong, even if he is a guerrilla general in the Liaodong Army, it is more than enough." ”
But now is not the time to wander, these thoughts only flash in his heart, and after calming down, he returns to the role of battlefield commander.
"Mr. Peng Qian, you immediately lead your troops to replace the striker who was scattered by Shicai, and advance along this street, and the official will send another hundred sword and shield men to cover you, you must fight in front of the Tartar Palace before dark, can you do it?"
When he said this, Yuan Chonghuan was a little apprehensive in his heart, the other party was just here to help, and there were only about 300 people, not to mention letting the other party complete the work that should have been done by himself, but also asking that it must be completed before dark, this requirement is really embarrassing.
But what I didn't expect was that this Qian Zong replied without the slightest hesitation: "Don't worry, my lordship, before dark, my lord will either see the lowly position hit the Tartar's palace, or see the corpse of the lowly person, and there is no other third possibility." ”
After speaking, Mr. Qian turned around and said loudly to the firecrackers behind him: "Everyone obey the order, target the Tartar Palace, and march forward in a battle formation!" ”
After speaking, in a burst of neat footsteps, these hundreds of Jiangning troops continued to advance forward......
"Crackling ......"
A rush of footsteps sounded outside the imperial study.
Sandezi, the head of the Manchu Inner Palace, was running from the corridor in a hurry, although the weather was still cold, but Sandezi's back had already been wet with sweat, and when he ran to the door of the imperial study, the whole person was already out of breath.
When he saw the hidden door of the imperial study, he couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty...... Oh no......"
Santokuko's crying voice rang out at the door of the imperial study.
"Squeak......
The door of the imperial study opened, revealing the pale and feeble face of Huang Taiji, who was sitting behind the imperial case.
As if he was not used to the somewhat dazzling sunlight outside, Huang Taiji squinted his eyes and snorted coldly: "Sandezi, you are getting more and more unproductive, why can't you hold your breath at all?" ”
"Your Majesty...... Oh no......"
Sandezi knelt down in front of Huang Taiji and cried: "The Ming army rushed towards the palace in three ways, just two quarters of an hour ago, the Ming army in the middle of the road had already hit near Fengzhou Street, and now the deputy commander of the yellow flag, Ge Tai, is leading the troops and horses to resist in relay. Geltai sent someone to report to Your Majesty, please get out of the city quickly! ”
"Hit near Toyosu Street?"
Huang Taiji muttered.
"If I'm not mistaken, Fengzhou Street is only half a mile away from the palace, right?"
Sandezi said in a trembling voice: "Yes...... Yes......"
"Half a mile, they're coming so fast."
Huang Taiji sighed lightly, took out a dark token from his arms with some difficulty, handed it to Sandezi, and said after taking a breath.
"Sandezi, you take this token and tell Yinshen Fengde, the commander of the Zhenghuang Banner, and tell him that I will not go anywhere, even if I die, I will die here. Then let Yinshen Fengde pile up the things that cause fire in the palace, if he really can't resist, he will ...... Then they set fire to this place! ”
"What...... Set fire ......"
Sandezi was almost not stupid, this palace took two generations of emperors to repair for several years, and it has not been repaired yet.
Now that Huang Taiji is actually going to burn it, no wonder he wants to let himself hold the troop transfer order to inform Yinshen Fengde, this is for fear that without the warrant proof, Yinshen Fengde will slaughter himself.
"Poof!"
Sandezi knelt down heavily, and Taotao began to cry.
"Your Majesty, this place was picked up by the first emperor and you brick by brick, and it contains the sweat of two generations of emperors. Although the Ming army now has the upper hand, even if they are allowed to occupy it, we can still take it back in the future, and if it is burned by fire, it will never be ...... Never get it back! ”
Seeing that Sandezi actually dared to refuse his order, Huang Taiji was furious at first, but when he saw Sandezi kneeling in front of him crying breathlessly, the anger that had surged slowly subsided, and finally turned into a long sigh.
He shook his head and said helplessly: "You stupid minion, you still can't understand it?" Yang Feng is ruthless, and he somehow hates us Manchurian, and after he breaks through Shengjing, he will give us Manchu a way to live.
Rather than waiting for him to attack and loot the palace, let's burn it ourselves, I don't want to leave this palace that contains the first emperor and my years of hard work to him, don't you think you know me best, why don't you even understand this! ”
Sandezi's kneeling body on the ground was shocked, although Huang Taiji's tone was only faint, but there was a pessimism in his words.
It is no wonder that compared with the Ming Dynasty, the rise of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was actually very lucky and lucky.
As a small country with a population of less than one million, whether it is manpower or material resources, compared with the Ming Dynasty, it is the difference between elephants and ants.
The reason why he was able to gain the upper hand in the battles with the Ming Dynasty was nothing more than because of the internal and external troubles of the Ming Dynasty over the years, and he had no time to take care of Liaodong.
Far from it, let's just say that the three major conquests in the Wanli period exhausted the family funds that Zhang Juzheng had saved with great difficulty after changing the law, and the Xiaoice River became more and more serious, coupled with the expansion of the local gentry, Haoqiang and civil official groups, which gave the Manchus a chance to rise.
If the Ming Dynasty continues to be in this mess, it is indeed possible for the Manchurians to live in the Guannai, and this is indeed the case in history.
But the sorrow of a small country is also obvious, that is, once the national strength of the big country next to it begins to recover or pay attention to the small country, it will be a catastrophe for the small country.
Let's just talk about the current Daming, after getting the seeds of high-yield crops from modern society provided by Yang Feng, especially the large-scale planting of potatoes in the north and obtaining a bumper harvest, the problem of displaced people who dragged Daming into the abyss in another historical time and space has also been greatly improved.
Since ancient times, as long as the people of China have a stutter, not many people will be willing to risk killing their heads to embark on the road of no return to rebellion, so although there are still Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng and other people in Shaanxi, Shanxi and other places today as in history, but both the scale and the degree of harm have been reduced much compared with another historical time and space.
The situation in the country was relatively stable, and since the Ming Imperial Bank with Yang Feng continued to transfuse blood for the inner treasury of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, the financial situation of the Ming Dynasty had also improved, so that the Ming had more energy to deal with the increasingly powerful Manchu Qing.
But this is not the worst, for the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the most unfortunate thing is to meet Yang Feng who crossed from the modern society, this guy is backed by modern society, the formation of the Jiangning Army is almost the nemesis of the Manchu Dynasty, after facing the Jiangning Army, the Manchu Army is almost defeated by Yang, and now it is about to end up in the end of the country.
Seeing Sandezi standing on the spot, Huang Taiji closed his eyes slightly, waved his hand weakly, and Sandezi saw this and turned his head towards Huang Taiji and went down silently.
After Sandezi left, Huang Taiji opened his eyes, quietly experienced the cold wind and chill blowing from the door, and listened to the sound of fire that had become more and more obvious, and his eyes showed a sadness.
"Could it be that the rivers and mountains that Huang Ama and countless Manchurian warriors fought with blood and sweat died in my hands like this?"
"Hold on...... It's all for the master to guard, who dares to take a step back and kill without mercy! ”
On a street near the Imperial Palace, the originally wide street had been blocked by the Manchurians with sacks and stones filled with dirt for generations to form a wall, and there were no buildings around, and the attackers had no cover at all, so they could only advance against the attacks of the other side.
The remaining more than 1,000 soldiers with yellow flags and hundreds of firearms soldiers with Han military flags were hiding behind this wall, constantly firing cold guns and arrows in front of them.
Yuan Chonghuan led his soldiers to charge several times in a row, but each time there was no progress at all except for leaving corpses in one place.
He found Mr. Qian, who came to reinforce, "Mr. Peng Qian, the Tartars have set up a defensive line in front, I don't know how you can break through this defensive line?" ”
Mr. Peng Qian looked ahead and shook his head: "Lord Yuan, the redemption of the humble duty is blunt, the Tartars are waiting for work, and there is a wall as a cover, if our army wants to break through this line of defense, it is very difficult, unless we are willing to fight with the lives of the soldiers to have a little hope, but the humble position does not want the adults to do this." ”
Yuan Chonghuan looked at the black shadows that appeared behind the wall in front of him, and slowly shook his head, just in the attack just now, he had already lost more than a hundred soldiers.
The street in front of him is clearly a meat grinder, so he will not be so stupid as to throw his precious troops into this bottomless pit.
He looked at Mr. Peng Qian again, but then shook his head again, although the Jiang Ning Army's firearms were sharp, they were not invincible, and they had no good way to face the enemy who had already prepared to hide behind the bunker.
Just when Yuan Chonghuan felt in a dilemma, there was a commotion from behind, and he turned his head to see that it was Yang Feng who came over under the support of a group of family members.
"Master Hou, why are you here?"
"Why can't you come?"
Yang Feng strode over and said with a smile.
"Originally, I was going to come over to see how General Yuan attacked the Tartar Palace, but now it seems that the situation is not very satisfactory."
Yuan Chonghuan's old face turned red, and he said a little angrily: "Is the Hou Ye here to laugh at the lower officials?" ”
Yang Feng shook his head with a smile: "Are you such a boring person, General Yuan, you can't help but think too much!" ”
Although Yang Feng's words did not contain half a curse, but that sentence was inevitably thinking too much, but the meaning was already clearly expressed, you Yuan Chonghuan also thinks too highly of yourself, just because you are not worthy of me to deal with you personally.
Yuan Chonghuan's face turned blue and red for a while, but he didn't dare to stimulate him again, otherwise he would really anger Yang Feng, and his small body would not be able to bear his anger.
However, although he didn't dare to go against Yang Feng, it was still okay to say a few words to scare people.
Yuan Chonghuan laughed at himself: "Xiaguan naturally didn't dare to compare with Hou Ye, but now Xiaguan and the others were indeed stopped by those Tartars in front." The Tartars hid behind the wall and couldn't come out. Xiaguan has always known that Hou Ye is brave, and Xia Guan is willing to attack the Tartar palace with Hou Ye's tail wing. ”
Yang Feng glanced at Yuan Chonghuan deeply, he didn't expect that this Yuan barbarian would dare to lead his own army, and his courage was indeed not small.
However, to deal with this kind of enemy who is cowering behind the wall, he doesn't have too many methods, so he smiled slightly: "General Yuan, don't worry, since Benhou is here, he naturally has a way to deal with it." Song Ye, go and take a look, Qiu Disheng and they are here. ”
"Master Hou, General Qiu, they have arrived."
Song Ye replied on the side.
As Song Ye answered, there was a commotion from behind, and a group of artillerymen pushed a cannon from behind towards here.
Soon, Qiu Disheng, who was out of breath, came to Yang Feng and said loudly: "Master Hou, Qiu Disheng, the commander of the last general's artillery battalion, has been ordered to report for duty!" ”
