Xunyang battlefield.

"Tartar is finally a bit of a soldier!"

Lin Fengxiang, who had just arrived, looked at the bloody corpse on the river beach with emotion.

Su Shun still lost.

In fact, he can't win, even if he fights with bayonets, he can't fight the Ming army, the Ming soldiers' stabbing techniques are the accumulation of hundreds of years of experience of the emperor, from the Tang Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty from generation to generation, the Qing army learned from the British The primary stabbing technique is not enough to see, not to mention that the physical fitness of the soldiers on both sides is not a level at all, because of the lack of materials, even if it is the highest-grade Qing army like the Eight Banners New Army, it is only able to eat enough and not go hungry, how to compare with the Ming soldiers who began to pay attention to balanced nutrition at this time?

However, Su Shun and the 4,000 New Army of the Eight Banners still used more than 2,000 corpses to cause the death of 200 Ming soldiers.

Ten to one fatality rate.

But this is already the best record achieved by the Eight Banners against the Ming army, before it was dozens or even hundreds to one, and in the early days, it was often hundreds to one when it was still in the Guangdong War, and so far, in this war that lasted for seven years, the Ming army was killed including wounded and died, and it never exceeded the death of illness. The best record of the Qing army against the Ming army on the entire battlefield was not this one, but in the Hengyang street battle, those Tusi soldiers on the Sichuan side, and those fierce mountain people in Jinchuan, who pulled the ratio of their casualties to eight to one with the Ming army. However, after that battle, they were also discouraged, and after that, they ran as fast as others when fighting the Ming army, and a total of 3,000 Tusi soldiers on the border of Sichuan were exhausted in this way, and it is said that there were less than a hundred left when they ran back to Sichuan.

"The rest are running into the mountains!"

Lin Shaozhang looked at the seemingly endless mountains and said to his brother.

They couldn't pursue it.

Growing up in Guangxi, he knew very well what it meant to enter such a mountain, and they didn't have time to pursue, so they were able to catch up with the God Emperor as fast as possible, and according to the previous plan, they had to get to Chang'an within ten days.

"Command, Hu Chao, the commander of the Tatar Hanzhong, surrenders!"

An officer behind Lin Fengxiang said.

Lin Fengxiang turned his head.

Not far behind this officer, Admiral Hu, who was said to have suffered a stroke and was bedridden not long ago, was holding a small white flag with a flattering smile, and next to him was a large group of generals who had hastily cut their braids, all of whom were also holding small white flags and looking at him grovelly.

Lin Fengxiang suddenly showed a bright smile.

"Hu Gong!"

He strode towards Hu Chao and said.

The latter was simply surprised to see him hugging his fist towards him, and he was dazed for a moment, before he immediately returned the salute with a flattered expression, and even made a kneeling motion, but then he was supported by Lin Fengxiang.

"Hu Gong, your chance to make meritorious service has arrived!"

Lin Fengxiang held Hu Chao with both hands and said.

Well, he asked Hu Chao to lead the green battalion to clear the Eight Banners that had wandered into the mountains and guard Xunyang by the way.

"General rest assured, the old man is here, this Xunyang City is like an iron wall, the Tartar is winged and don't want to fly out of this mountain forest, the old man makes eighty catties of big knives, and he can still be loyal to the God Emperor."

Hu Chao said heroically.

However, he didn't bring his eighty-pound broadsword, otherwise he would have danced again.

Of course, Lin Fengxiang didn't really expect his eighty-pound broadsword, four infantry brigades, an artillery brigade and a cavalry brigade of the Eleventh Army, because of the limitation of ship transportation capacity, arriving here is actually a cavalry brigade and an infantry brigade plus a military headquarters, but the next three infantry brigades and an artillery brigade will arrive one after another within half a month.

He just wanted to give Hu Chao and those green battalions some training for a bright future and prevent them from defecting.

Besides, the Qing army fled into the mountains and had no offensive ability, but they would definitely become bandits in the future when they hid in the mountains and forests.

In short, he handed over the matter here directly to Hu Chao, and even the task of cleaning up the battlefield was lost to this old guy, Lin Fengxiang and Lin Shaozhang, who had escaped, re-boarded the ship as quickly as possible, and took his subordinates and a batch of supplies to the north to chase their god emperor along the Qianyou River. Although they went upstream, because it was a tailwind and the boats they were riding were accustomed to this waterway, they still arrived at Liangheguan in the evening of the third day, because the speed was too slow, and then they abandoned the boat, and in one day they galloped eighty-three miles to reach Qingtongguan, and then reached Zhen'an at noon on the fifth day.

At this time, the Divine Emperor was standing on a mountain beam looking into the distance, and at his feet a small river was winding among the mountains and forests, and a valley mouth at the end of the river suddenly opened up......

There is no mountain ahead.

"God Emperor, there is Dayukou in front."

His guide said respectfully.

They finally walked out of the Qinling Mountains, and it took five days to forcibly march for 470 miles, of course, it was a forced march on the mountain road, in fact, they walked for a day and a half just over the 70 miles of Taibai Mountain, and there were 16 cavalry who accidentally fell, although nine of them were only injured and were restored by the divine power of the God Emperor, but the seven who fell directly to death were unable to return to the sky.

However, it is true that there was no resistance along the way.

After knowing that it was the Emperor of God's own expedition, all the passes along the way, including the Hall of Filial Piety, looked at the wind and surrendered.

"Let's go, I'll take you into Chang'an!"

Yang Feng pointed forward with a horsewhip and said.

The long cavalry dragon stretching along the mountain road behind him immediately erupted into a roar.

Changan.

At this time, Chang'an was already in chaos.

Although Su Shun was very clever in reminding Xianfeng in the emergency recital, or reminding the monk Lingling that Prince Su Jingmin and Prince Li, who temporarily presided over the government after going to Shaanzhou, asked them to keep this matter secret, and these two also ensured the secret, but they don't think that their cronies and slaves are also in the scope of secrecy, in fact, it is a joke that the Qing court can keep the secret, which prince is not the eyes of all kinds of officials, rich people or even Jinyiwei in the palace of the prince? Almost less than an hour after Yang Feng's secret report that had arrived in Xunyang and began to raid Chang'an reached them, the people had already begun to spread this shocking top-secret news.

And then......

Then it's simple.

"What do you want to do?"

At the south gate of Chang'an, the Eight Banners New Army Commander who guarded the gate shouted angrily.

In front of him was like a heap of garbage pushed by a flood, densely packed with all kinds of colors, which came from the clothes of the people, the hats on their heads, the donkey carts they drove, and even the palanquins of some gentry, and of course the colors of various skins, which constantly attacked the defenders at the city gate in the wind that sanded with the soil in the northwest.

This is inside the city.

"Open the door, we're going out of town!"

"Run, don't stay here to block the shells for them."

"Open the door, I have urgent military business."

……

Then all sorts of chaotic sounds rang out noisily.

"Don't listen to those rumors, who said that the bandits are coming, there are monks and kings in the mountains, just like the copper wall and the iron wall, the bandits flew over, they are all spies spreading rumors!"

Victory and defeat roared.

"What is the official wen doing with the new army at Meridian Pass?"

A voice shouted from below.

"The movement of the imperial army still needs to be explained to you?"

Katsuho yelled viciously.

The two cavalry brigades left in Chang'an with the Eight Banners New Army were out of the city last night, but it was obvious that they did not hide it from the people of Chang'an, because the last time Daoguang used the common people as meat shields in Beijing, the people of Chang'an were already aware of the Qing Emperor's temperament, once the Ming army really fought, it was designated to pull them to block the shells, since this is the case, who would dare to stay in the city? What's more, the food in the city is in the imperial city or the original garrison city, Sichuan transported directly to the front line, the daily reserve of food is estimated to be less than a month, once the Ming army besieged the city without food, it will definitely starve to death, since this is the case, then do not hurry to run away for refuge, then the Ming army will not harm the people, and the food will be returned to the people if they have not eaten, as long as they are not surrounded in the city, there will definitely be no danger.

As a result, the entire people of Chang'an, even those Han gentry, began to flee.

Anyway, those gentry have had enough.

At first, they still welcomed the Qing Dynasty, but after more than two years, they already knew that Guanzhong could not afford to raise these hardcore crops, let alone a court and a huge army, with an average yield of less than three stones per mu of rice and less than one stone per mu of dry land, and the original population had to be transported from the outside, not to mention the addition of hundreds of thousands of hardcore crops and a huge imperial court. In addition, there are tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry, and it is said that there are Russian soldiers to come in the future, these people and horses are all going to eat, and they all have to rely on them to feed, so it is said that at this time there have been people who have begun to starve to death, fortunately, the bandits in the early stage also copied some grain and livestock, and the grain from Sichuan was also transported.

But the bandits have also been suppressed, and the food that should have been handed over by the more than one million people who died is gone, and the Ming army will definitely attack Sichuan next, and the food in Sichuan will also be cut off at that time......

Guanzhong will starve to death.

And then it will be like the end of the Ming Dynasty.

The gentry didn't want that either.

Once this is the case, they will also die, although the Ming army came to ask for fields, but the Ming army does not kill people, and they are hungry all over the wilderness, and they are also going to die, and even the whole family will die.

The lesser of the two evils, obviously, it is better for the Ming army to come with order.

"Don't listen to him, is there a swordsman, rush up and open the city gate, Prince Su's family Sandezi said, Su Shun's emergency was the day before yesterday, the Ming army has gone north in Xunyang, then Yang Feng came from Xiangyang with tens of thousands of troops by self-propelled boat, and there are thousands of cannons!"

An old squire shouted.

Suddenly, the crowd surged again.

Katsuho unceremoniously pulled the trigger.

The old squire was stunned for a moment in the gunshot, and then screamed: "Killed, the banner man killed the common people!" ”

"Boom!"

The crowd was completely out of control.

The new army of the Eight Banners in front of the city gate was flooded at once.

Almost at the same time, smoke billowed from a place in the city, and before the fleeing civilians could react, they saw a group of people in special clothes rushing out of an alley with knives and cutting down on people.

"Blood debt and blood payment!"

"Kill that dog emperor!"

……

The frenzied roar plunged Chang'an into real chaos.
