Chapter 214: The Battle of Baoding No. 1

After the Ming army ascended to the top of the city, after more than an hour of fierce fighting, the battle under the city gate tower ended, the city gate tower was opened, the Qing army flag on the city gate tower fell to the ground, and a Ming flag and a Zheng raid flag were raised. The gate of the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info opened, and the Ming army poured into the city like a tide.

North Korea's clothed Aha surrendered on their knees, and even many of the armored people surrendered. Peng Chun retreated into the inner city with only more than 100 Eight Banner soldiers, more than 500 armored men and 2,000 Korean Ahabs.

After the Ming army cleared the remnants of the enemy in the outer city, they immediately launched an attack on the inner city.

The strength of the Qing army was already seriously insufficient, and the Korean Baoyi Aha almost had no combat effectiveness, and only more than 100 bannermen and more than 500 armored men could rely on, which was not enough at all. In just half a day, the Ming army launched an attack on the inner city, and the inner city gate was breached, and a large number of Ming troops poured into the city.

The city of Ningguta was broken, and Peng Chun, the deputy commander of the capital, and the leader of the Eight Banners under his command were all killed in the chaos, and more than 100 Eight Banner soldiers were all killed, and none of them survived. Five of the eight armoured men were killed, and the remaining three surrendered, and more than two hundred of the remaining five hundred armoured men were killed, and the rest surrendered; More than six hundred of the two thousand Korean Aha were killed, and the rest surrendered.

The battle of Ningguta was over, Zheng Xi not only wiped out more than 300 Eight Banner soldiers, more than 2,000 armor guards and more than 10,000 Korean Aha stationed in Ningguta in one fell swoop, but also seized more than 3,000 stone grain, more than 1,000 war horses, as well as various meat, fish and other foods from Ningguta City, and seized more than 20,000 taels of silver, more than 700 taels of gold, more than 10,000 copper plates, and countless treasures such as Dongzhu, mountain ginseng, and mink.

"Ningguta has been captured, the next step is Shengjing! Along the way, there are also a few Tartar beacons and earthen forts, and those are not a problem! Zheng Xi touched his beard and said with a smile.

……

Baoding City, since the Yamen of Zhili moved from Zhending (now Shijiazhuang Zhengding) to Baoding, here is the Yamen of the Governor of Zhili, the Yamen of the Political Envoy of Zhili, the Yamen of the Admiral of Zhili, and the Yamen of the Admiralty. Baoding Mansion City, is the gateway to Beijing, once Baoding is lost, Wu Sangui's army can be under the city of Beijing.

Bahai has no way to retreat, from Luoyang all the way to the defeat, first Henan Wuqing decisive battle defeat, then Wu Sangui strength of the Yellow River, and then Bahai relied on digging the Yellow River embankment to barely stop Wu Sangui for half a year, and then in the Daimyo Mansion on the territory of the cavalry battle fiasco, after the defeat of Bahai very decisively gave up the Daimyo Mansion, and lost Guangping Mansion, Zhending Mansion and other two prefectures in a row, lost more than ten prefectures and counties, all the way defeated.

The Qing army was defeated and retreated to Baoding, although the Qing army, which had been frightened, fled to the upper brave when they saw the thief, fled to the middle brave when they heard the wind, and fled to the lower courage by mishearing could not change the essence, but they did not dare to lose Baoding again.

"It doesn't matter if the infantry can't fight in the field, it's nothing if the sailors can't fight in the water battle, but even the cavalry can't fight in the field! It's a shame! Now he has been defeated all the way, almost abandoning the city and fleeing! We have now retreated to Baoding! Behind is the Jingshi! If he loses again, the emperor will want the head of his own official! Bahai said bitterly.

All the civil and military generals in Baoding City were mobilized, from the governor, the political envoy, and the admiral to the following Tongzhi, the classics, the history, the experience, the prison, the capital discipline, and then to the lower-level head catchers, fast arresters, government officials, and white servants, all of them were mobilized.

Officials and small officials recruited people everywhere inside and outside the city, and the private armed forces trained by the gentry families in the nearby villages were also incorporated into the defending army, and the gentry, tycoons, and patriarchs outside the city were all relocated to the city by the Qing army. In fact, these northern gentry were the first to surrender to the Qing court, and after twenty-six years of rule by the Qing court, they had long regarded themselves as Qing nationals. When the Qing army entered the customs, these people had no national concept and surrendered quickly. When it was time to shave their hair and change clothes, some people jumped out and resisted, and in the end, all those who resisted were killed, and the rest were honest.

"My lord, can we hold Baoding City?" Sabusu asked with some concern.

The morale of the Qing army was too low, and after the news of the annihilation of the Ganshan Green Battalion and the annihilation of the Lianghuai Battle came, the morale of the Qing army, which had been defeated in the battle with Wu Sangui, plummeted.

Originally, in real history, when Wu Sangui rebelled against the Qing Dynasty, the morale of the Green Battalion was still very high, and when the Eight Banners Army was defeated one after another, it completely relied on the Green Battalion Army to resist Wu Sangui. But now, the main force of the green battalion has basically been wiped out by the Qiongzhou army, and by the way, half of the elite Eight Banners outside the Guanwai have been eliminated.

The 41-year-old Sabsu has been reading military books since he was a child and likes to shoot arrows with a bow. As a teenager, he often herded horses with his father, shared labor for his father, participated in hunting with adults, received strict military training, and had a resolute character. From 1653 to 1658, Sabusu had already fought against the Russian army many times.

The later Battle of Yaksa was commanded by Sabsu.

However, in this time and space, Sabusu does not seem to have the opportunity to fight the Russians again, and there is no possibility of the so-called national heroes advertised in later textbooks.

Ba Haidao: "If you pull out of the city to go to the field, the old man is sure that these rabble will disperse in just one round!" But there is a defense of Baoding Jiancheng, hum! The old man promised to let Wu Sangui's old thief meet under the city and break the blood! ”

Sabu Su could only secretly say in his heart: I hope Baoding can rely on the strong city to contain Wu Yi for a while! Buy time for the emperor and the officials of the Beijing division to evacuate. If you can do this, even if the minions die here, it will be worth it.

Outside the city, the gentry families and wealthy families dragged their families into the city of Baoding, and their own private troops also entered the city, about to assist the Qing army in defending the city.

Bahai persuaded these gentry to arm their landlords into Baoding to defend the city, and it didn't cost much to say anything, because the manor and village built by these gentry themselves were not bullshit in front of the Wu army's artillery. Since Wu Sangui entered Beizhili, he has successively broken through a number of stockades that refused to surrender. It was too simple to attack the stockade guarded by the landlords, a few cannons, aiming at the wall, and after a few rounds of shelling, the walled wall collapsed, and then the Wu army rushed into the stockade.

Originally, the gentry were the basis for the ruling class to govern the world, but the gentry in the north had been in rebellion for a long time, and Wu Sangui didn't mind killing them all.

So these captured stockades were ordered to be slaughtered by Wu Sangui, and the men in the stockade were almost killed, the old ugly women were also cut with a knife, and the rest of the women were plundered into the camp and incorporated into the Wu army.

With the bloody lessons of the previous villages, these gentry knew that they could not stop Wu Sangui if their forces were scattered, so they voluntarily cooperated with the imperial court and brought their own families into the city to assist in defending the city.
