Chapter 127: Dashun Kingdom, Annihilation
It was nearly dusk, and the entire city of Xi'an was shrouded in the hazy sunset of early winter.
A few soldiers under the city gate of Xi'an Mansion lazily enjoyed the last rays of the sunset, bored in a daze, thinking about where to go for pastime after getting off duty.
Suddenly, a soldier in torn armor stumbled in from a distance.
"Tongguan urgent! The Ming army is coming! ”
The soldier was wounded in the shoulder, and when he finished speaking, he passed out, and the soldiers guarding the city gate looked at each other and thought for a while before realizing the seriousness of the problem.
A soldier threw away his spear and hurriedly ran to the city to report, and as soon as he walked on his front foot, the figure of the Ming border army appeared in the sunset.
The rest of the soldiers were full of fear in their eyes, and they ran towards the city with a scream, and they didn't even want the city gates.
The Ming border army took the east gate of Xi'an without much effort.
Xi'an Mansion is the 'capital' of Li Zijing of the Great Shun Kingdom, but this guy rarely stays in the city, and since solving the most basic food problem, Li Zijing has indulged in wine every day.
Not only does he not care about military affairs, but he even does the act of robbing people's daughters, it is said that he must have two daughters every day, and they are all women who already have husbands, I have to say that this habit has caused him a lot of right and wrong.
But he was the emperor of Shaanxi, and the people had to swallow their anger and dare not speak out.
But it just so happened that Li Zijing happened to be in Xi'an City this time, and he was sending people around looking for the medicine of the 'big tonic', and his harem now has more than 200 wives waiting to be fed, which makes him a little powerless.
"Your Majesty! Big things are wrong! Xi'an Mansion Guard Li Guo entered the palace to ask for instructions, with a panicked face.
"It's Li Guo, how is the errand I gave you? What kind of system is this panic! Li Zijing's face was haggard, and he pointed at Li Guo weakly.
Li Guonai is Li Zicheng's nephew, because the Ming army killed Li Zicheng, and he hated the Ming army to the core, but he won Li Zijing's trust.
"Oh, Your Majesty, the Ming army has entered the city, you are still thinking about that ridiculous thing, hurry up and go out of the city with Weichen, it will be too late.
Weichen's adopted son Li Laiheng is currently holding on to the city, but the thief army is strong, and the city gate has been lost, so I'm afraid it won't last long! ”
"What? Didn't the Ming army want to crown me the king of the northwest? Why do you offend me for no reason! Li Zijing was frightened, he was already very timid, and he worked hard every day, and his brain was a little bad.
The gunshots of AKM could already be faintly heard outside the hall, and Li Zijing seemed to remember something, and his whole body trembled.
"Quick...... Fast...... Run......"
"My lord, the thief named Li Laiheng in front of him will be extremely fierce, and I am afraid that he will not be able to attack the main hall in a short time!"
Tang Feng's knife was curled, he came back to change his weapon, and by the way, he reported to Liu Hongjian about the military situation ahead.
"Zu Qiuqing, Yue Chengze, shooters with two small flags, blast the head of this thief for me!" Liu Hong gradually sat on the horse and controlled the overall situation.
Zu Qiuqing and the others immediately followed Tang Feng with their shooters.
Half an hour later, the inner city was broken, and half an hour later, the main hall was broken, except for sporadic resistance, and there were only more than 100 beautiful women hiding in various parts of the palace in several large halls.
"Uncle, Li Laiheng's troops have been defeated, and Xi'an City has also been completely captured, but ...... Li Zijing ran away! Do you want to send troops in pursuit? ”
Tang Feng's whole body was soaked in blood, as if he had taken a blood bath, he took off his helmet, wiped the blood on his face, and knelt down and said.
"It doesn't matter, Ben Bo knows that this guy will run away, the sergeants have been rushing all night recently, and Lianketong Pass and Xi'an are already very tired, so they ordered people to quickly collect grain and grass in the city, and they will be stationed in the city tonight to rest and recuperate, and fight again tomorrow!"
Shaanxi has just a few cities with relatively strong defenses, according to the Jinyi Wei report, in addition to Tongguan and Xi'an, where the people's army is stationed, only Hao Shaoqi of Yan'an Mansion in the north and Pingliang Mansion in the northwest remain.
Among them, Hao Shaoqi's department is the most elite, with about 15,000 foot soldiers, thinking that Li Zijing must have fled to Yan'an Mansion, this is a hard bone, and it is really hard to say whether he can successfully lay down if he doesn't rest.
But Liu Hongjian really didn't plan to attack Yan'an, and among the many generals of the People's Army in the late Ming Dynasty, Liu Hongjian had an impression of this Hao Shaoqi.
Hao Shaoqi's original name was Hao Yongzhong, who was originally a subordinate of Gao Yingxiang, the former king of the king, because he was very brave and brave in raising the flag and getting this nickname, and then he was included in Li Zicheng's army, and followed Li Zijing, but he has not been welcomed.
After the Qing army entered the customs, Li Zicheng was destroyed, and Hao Shaoqi took his 8,000 foot soldiers to the south to join forces with the rest of the Southern Ming Dynasty to resist the Qing Dynasty.
After the collapse of the small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty, he hid in the mountains and continued to resist the Qing Dynasty, until the spies betrayed, besieged by Dolgon, and his family burned to death.
To be regarded as a tiger general, Liu Hong gradually sent someone to get a pen and paper in a change of mind, went to the army to plan, then cut the diplomatic relations, and attacked the city again, whether it was the people's army or the border soldiers, they were all Han.
Whether it works or not, you have to try it.
After the letter was written, Yang Tianbao, who had been silently following Liu Hongji, volunteered to take over the task of delivering the letter, and disappeared into the night despite the wind and cold.
Since the border army entered Shaanxi through Tongguan, it fought from morning to late at night in one day, killing more than 10,000 enemies and capturing more than 4,000 prisoners, but the headquarters only suffered more than 1,000 wounds.
In addition to the Kannon Division, which rushed into the enemy formation, more than a dozen people were killed and wounded, and the only loss was that the AKM reimbursed three more.
On the second day, 20,000 iron horsemen marched towards Yan'an Mansion with high morale after a night of repair.
Who knew that when they arrived at Yan'an Mansion, before the Franc machine could be placed, the south gate of Yan'an Mansion was opened, and a team of soldiers escorted a general-like person from the city on horseback, and there were two people bound by ropes in the rear.
Liu Hong gradually signaled the shooters not to move, and he also took a few steps forward.
The general was silent, walked to a distance of about fifty steps away from Liu Hong, turned over and dismounted, untied his sword, and walked towards Liu Hongjian alone.
"The guilty general Hao Yongzhong is willing to surrender the city, and he is willing to ask the Ming general to surrender! Hao's sin is willing to be borne by one person, whether it is to kill or to listen to the respect, but beg the general to let go of the brothers in the city, they ...... Just want to have a full meal! ”
Hao Shaoqi lifted his robe and knelt down towards Liu Hong.
"General Hao's name, Ben Bo has also heard of it, but he helped to do evil, causing my Ming Dynasty to live in peace for decades, but I can finally restrain myself from the precipice, don't go to Ben Bo to toss, get up first, who is this person in the rear?"
Liu Hongjian was not arrogant, turned over and dismounted and was about to help Hao Shaoqi, Li Baida and Yang Tianbao, who followed behind, were worried that Liu Hongjian was plotting, and they planned to keep up, but Liu Honggradually stretched out his hand to stop him.
A general who can value the lives of his soldiers more than his own will not do such a despicable thing.
Hao Shaoqi is also very grateful to Liu Hongjian for his magnanimity and mind, the generals of the Ming army have always been arrogant, and when they are surrendered, their noses can be cocked to the sky, in their opinion, these illiterate people's soldiers are reckless men who do not know how to educate.
Those of them who have read the books of the sages are unwilling to speak well, and even when they reach the Ming army, they are mostly excluded, which is also a reason why the people's army surrendered and rebelled at the end of the Ming Dynasty.
Speaking from the heart, he has never had a good impression of the generals of the Ming army, but the general in front of him, who is not much younger than himself, has a surprisingly good attitude, which instantly makes him feel respected.
"General, this is Li Zijing, the emperor of the Great Shun Kingdom, and this one next to him is Li Guo, Li Zicheng's nephew!"
