The ironclad fire dragon is like an unsinkable giant ship on land, and the rifled guns, sub-cannons, and rifled guns on the car shoot out tongues of fire one after another, hitting the roadbed and trenches full of corpses of Qing soldiers. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 The rifled guns on the roof turret of the info continued to bombard, and all six general guns of the Qing army were destroyed.

"Woo-" The steam locomotive let out a long whistle and rumbled to a halt on the railway line. The door opened, and a group of Ming soldiers jumped out of the car and immediately attacked the Qing army. The second train of troop carriers followed, and before the cars could stop, groups of Ming troops jumped down from the vehicles and attacked in the direction of the Qing army. The 1,000 Ming troops who arrived were all musketeers, and with the use of bayonets and grenades, musketeers could already fight alone, without the need for cold weapons.

"Let's go! Fujian Ming Dog is here! Seeing the banner of the Qiongzhou Army, the Qing Army didn't care how many Ming troops came, someone shouted, and everyone turned around and fled.

Since the rise of the Qiongzhou army, it has won a hundred battles in the past few years, and it has accumulated too much power, and the green camp Qing army is unwilling to fight with the Qiongzhou army. At present, there is a saying in the Qing army: When you see a thief, you will flee for the upper bravery, and if you hear the wind, you will be brave, and if you mishear, you will be brave. These green battalion Qing soldiers at least fled after seeing the shadow of the Qiongzhou army, which is already very courageous.

The Qing army was defeated, and the speed of escape was much faster than the speed at which it came. By the time the cavalry of the king's [auxiliary] ministers arrived, the Qing army had already run out. Wang [Fu] Chen led the cavalry in pursuit for a while, catching up with some Qing soldiers who were running more slowly. Those unlucky ghosts were either killed or surrendered.

……

Thousands of miles away, Luoyang City.

Thick smoke billowed from the city, and the Wu army suppressed the city head with cannons, and then filled the trenches with shield carts carrying sandbags, and transported soldiers to the city with carts, dug on the city walls, and then placed gunpowder to blow up the city walls.

Luoyang City, the city height is nearly five zhang, the moat is more than five zhang deep, three zhang wide, and the water of Luoyang is injected to form a moat. After this city was conquered by Li Zicheng, King Fu was stewed and made into a Fulu banquet, and the city of Luoyang was also destroyed. After the Qing army entered the customs, they repaired Luoyang City.

Luoyang is also one of the strongest cities in the world, and Li Zicheng conquered Luoyang because someone in the city opened the city gate and put Li Zicheng into the city. Now Wu Sangui's attack on Luoyang can only be a strong attack.

There was a loud bang, and the supposedly impregnable Luoyang city wall was blasted into a gap.

"Kill!" The Wu soldiers let out an earth-shattering shout of killing and poured into Luoyang City.

The Wu army besieged Luoyang City for more than a month, and was finally overcome, and Wu Sangui's army entered Luoyang City. The Qing court flag in the city and the green flag of the Qing army in the green camp were torn into garbage and fell into the fire, and the Daming flag and Wu Sangui's handsome flag were raised at the head of the city. The remaining Qing troops in the city did not resist and surrendered to the Wu army one after another.

In Luoyang City, the gates of the city were wide open, and there was no one to garrison at all, and the Wu army entered the city without much effort.

"This was originally the Fuwang Palace, in the fourteenth year of Chongzhen, the Fuwang was killed, and the Fuwang Palace was set on fire by breaking into the camp. After the Tartars entered Luoyang, they built a full city on the basis of the original Fu Palace. Liu Xuanchu stood at the head of the city and sighed.

However, there was no banner man in Luoyang Mancheng for a long time, and after Bahai's Qing army was defeated in the decisive battle, Bahai moved all the banner people in Luoyang City and fled to the north of the Yellow River, leaving only the local green camp to defend the city. Now Luoyang, which Wu Sangui has taken, is an empty city without the Eight Banners garrison.

Most of the bannermen were moved to Xi'an by Bahai, and some of them went to the capital along the official road.

"Luoyang has been conquered, and we will welcome the holy car to Luoyang." Wang Shirong proposed.

"No!" Guo Zhuangtu retorted, "King Fu was killed in Luoyang and stewed by thieves, this is an ominous place!" Don't welcome the holy car to Luoyang! ”

Fang Guangchen also said: "Yes! Don't welcome the holy car to Luoyang! Our army should capture Xi'an and welcome the holy car to Xi'an! ”

"Hit Xi'an first? Don't directly capture the capital? Wu Sangui asked suspiciously.

Wang Shirong said: "Marshal, what the student means is that our army should directly go north and take the capital directly!" Seize the capital, are you afraid that Xi'an will not be able to succeed? When our army crosses the Yellow River, we will bring the holy car, follow the army to the north, and directly welcome the holy car into the capital, and the unification of the world will be on your side! ”

"No, hit Xi'an first!" Fang Guangchen retorted, "Qin Di has been a strong army since ancient times! After capturing Shaanxi, you can get the strong soldiers in Guanzhong, and you can get the northwest horses, and the land in the middle can be recuperated, and it is the stable rear of our army! Northern Expedition plan, act steadily! Take Xi'an, and then map the Northern Expedition! ”

"No way!" Wang Shirong resolutely contradicted, "Not only our army is on the Northern Expedition, but the son surnamed Wang is also in the Northern Expedition!" If he seizes the opportunity to attack the capital, what should we do? Did you honestly send the holy chariot to him? When the time comes, he says that he will welcome the holy car to the capital, shall we go or not? If we don't go, we will become Cao Cao in the eyes of the world! If we go, the situation is beyond our control! ”

Liu Xuanchu thought for a moment, and also agreed to Wang Shirong's proposal: "Dashuai, let's first go north to the Central Plains and seize the Beijing Division!" As long as the Beijing master is in hand, the unification of the world will be in our hands! ”

Fang Guangchen asked: "The land of Guanzhong is in the hands of the puppet Qing Tartars, and the Tartars are stationed in Guanzhong with hundreds of thousands of elites, which is a big trouble for our army!" If our army goes north to the Central Plains, the Tartars will send troops from Guanzhong, just cut off the back road of our army! At that time, our army will be attacked by the enemy, and I am afraid that we will lose all the games if we are not careful! I hope you think twice! ”

Wang Shirong laughed and said, "Hundreds of thousands of elites in Guanzhong Tartar? Hahaha! In the first battle of Huanshui, what did the Ganshan Green Battalion, known as the elite of the world, look like by us? I don't believe it, how many troops do the Tartars still have in Guanzhong? Our army only has to cross the northern expedition, if the Tartars go out of the pass, our army will allocate a part of the troops to just wipe out the Tartars in one fell swoop! ”

"The Northland Central Plains, the terrain is flat. There are many cavalry in Guanzhong, and the Eight Banners in the north are also cavalry. The Tartars can fight if they want to, and they can go when they want, how can the infantry annihilate the cavalry? Fang Guangchen shook his head and said, "Only by fighting steadily and advancing step by step, so that the Tartar cavalry loses the city, can the cavalry territory be compressed and the Northern Expedition Beijing Division be relieved of the troubles." ”

At this time, Liu Xuanchu made a suggestion: "Hit the capital first!" Release the camp and let them go to the Guanzhong! ”

"What?" Wu Sangui was shocked, "Let the thieves go to Guanzhong? If the thieves occupy the pass, wouldn't it be a return to the mountain? The thieves are in the middle of the pass, threatening us at any time! It's not right, it's not right! ”

Liu Xuanchu said: "Dashuai, the camp is no longer there, and now it is my Ming Loyal Battalion!" As long as they still recognize me as orthodox, they will not attack us! What's more, we are leading the Holy Driver Northern Expedition to Beijing, if the loyal battalion does not want to become the enemy of the world, it will definitely not attack the rear of our army. ”
