They have all advanced to the gates of the Tartar palace...... There are rules and regulations on how to conduct battles, and all armies know how to do it, without the orders of the commander Wang Tong. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Hutou and Tan Bing, the commanders of the first and second regiments, came here, and when they heard Wang Tong say this, they couldn't help but be stunned, Wang Tong stared at them and repeated: "Ben Shuai repeats again, there is no living person in this palace!" ”

Smart people don't need to say it a second time, Li Hutou and Tan Bing may not be extremely smart, but they immediately understood Wang Tong's words, Li Hutou and Tan Bing immediately saluted solemnly, and said: "The last general takes the order!" ”

Wang Tong smiled and nodded, the two regiments went to arrange, there were a lot of Tartar soldiers in the city, but the city was not a suitable place for cavalry mobile field battles, in fact, when the Ming army entered the city, most of the Tartar soldiers had not yet mounted their horses, and the infantry of the Tartar soldiers was far inferior to the soldiers of Jizhen, let alone the infantry of the Huwei army. Fierce battles were raging in every street, in every public building, and even in some houses, but these battles ended quickly, and there was no way to form an organized resistance.

When the artillery was pushed to the top of the city and gradually occupied several city gates, it can already be said that the city of Guihua has fallen under the control of the Ming army, and the next work is to kill the enemy.

There are almost 60% of the non-Han residents in the city, but most of them have not lived in the city for a long time, and many of them are used to living in the city in winter, and they still go to the grassland to graze in other seasons, and they do not have a sense of belonging to the city.

These people knew that the Ming army was the enemy army, and they also had the courage and determination to fight the Ming army, but they did not have the courage and determination to fight the Ming army in this city, the situation was already like this, the Tartar soldiers who were used to galloping horses were not used to the constrained terrain of the city, they preferred to leave the city first, and then come to fight.

With such kindness and judgment, it is natural that they will not use all their strength in battle, and how can the soldiers who want to escape in the battle win, not to mention that most of them are just herdsmen in the tribe.

The city has been divided by the Ming army horse team and the soldiers of Jizhen, and there are cannons on several city gates, and the cannons in the interior, there is no kind of tragic street battle in the city that requires the soldiers to pay their lives for a step forward, only chasing and suppressing.

A battalion of thistle infantry had already arrived at the palace and began to build civil fortifications at the other gates of the palace to block the way of the people inside.

Four six-pound cannons side by side in front of the door, after they were ready, the door of the cannon and the thick wooden iron nails did not support it, maybe there were brackets and blockades behind it, but in such a short time, it was too late.

The shattered gate fell backwards, and the Tartar warriors inside dodged in a panic, and the gate fell to the ground, and immediately someone shouted and urged, and the Tartar chariots guarding the palace were indeed much stronger than ordinary ones, and immediately swarmed up, and in this situation, it was too late to hide behind the fortifications.

Only when they blocked the Ming army with hand-to-hand combat, the rest of the forces in the palace had time to prepare, and the archers could shoot arrows.

But in a sense, this battle is no longer a battle of cold weapons, in the past, the Ming army also used firearms, but the firearms used at that time were considered by the generals to be the source of lack of courage and morale, and they were often attacked by the Tartar cavalry.

The Tiger's spearmen in good plate armor may have been more courageous, but most of the damage on the battlefield was not provided by them, but by muskets and artillery, and they only provided a barrier for the musketeers.

The same was true of the battle at the gates of the palace, where the brave rush of the Tartar chariots was immediately shattered by the sound of the fire and the corpses were left behind.

With the musketeers in front, the spearmen behind, and the artillerymen dragging light cannons behind, the Tartars fighting in the palace were not at all opponents, and could only retreat step by step.

There were already fires in several places in the palace and in the city, and the smoke was thick, and it took a lot of time to fill in the trenches and attack the city during the day, and it was already dark at this time.

Smoke and darkness blurred the field of view during the battle, but such a blur did not do the Tartars any good, and their resistance had no effect.

The Tartar chariots guarding the palace retreated step by step, and the will to fight was also disintegrated little by little, and there began to be a flight, and some people began to surrender on their knees, the palace was equal to a semi-closed area, and it was not so easy to escape, thousands of Ming soldiers searched and advanced in a carpet manner, and there were no dead ends.

Moreover, the Ming army did not accept surrender, kneeling and surrendering and dropping weapons or waving white flags, there was only one end, and they were killed mercilessly.

The generals conveyed at every level that the battle situation was dangerous, and the enemy's surrender was likely to be a conspiracy, and if we were merciful, it was very likely that the other side would take advantage of it...... To inflict unnecessary casualties on their own, the order given to the top generals was simple and straightforward, that is, "There is not a single living person in the palace!" ”。

It was completely dark, and the fighting became more dangerous in the various areas outside the palace, and those who remained resistant, those who wanted to escape from the city, could take advantage of the darkness of the night to fight the Ming army.

But the palace had gradually quieted down, the bloody smell in the air had faded a lot, and the fires that had appeared everywhere had been extinguished.

There are corpses lying on the ground, all the soldiers are concentrated on the side of the main hall, and this place is surrounded by water, looking at the regulation of this building, it looks like a shrunken Daming Palace, according to the person who led the way, this side is usually also called the Jinjian Palace, and now it looks like a joke.

"Dashuai, the Tatar thief chief Monk Ge Gu Leng, and the son of the monk Gu Leng Lik, as well as the three ladies and the wife and concubine of the thief chief are all in this hall, and the subordinates just now roughly estimated the strength of the lower hall, which is at most eight hundred."

Tan Bing said in a deep voice, around the palace, a huge fire was lit, many Huwei army chariots with torches, the scene was clear, Wang Tong found a high place, his personal guards immediately surrounded him with a big shield, in the enemy's palace, if someone really shot arrows from somewhere, it would be troublesome.

Even if the various areas outside the city are chaotic and shouting for killing, for the current Ming army, victory has been determined, and the question now is what level of victory to achieve.

Yang Jin, the deputy general of Jizhen, and Ma Yong, who led the cavalry of Datong Town, both came to the vicinity of the palace, and after saluting Wang Tong, they waited on the side, Wang Tong noticed that each of them had an excited look on their faces, even if these people were quite calm on weekdays, but now they couldn't suppress their emotions.

On the contrary, it is the military chariot and a cadre of the Huwei army, the performance is quite calm, this mentality Wang Tong understands, the palace is the Khan of the Tatars, this Khan is not the kind of chieftain leader of thousands of people, but dominates the grassland, tens of thousands of people under his command, suppressed the Ming Dynasty nearly three generations of emperors, plundered Shanxi, and hit the Altan Khan King under the city of Beijing.

Since the Northern Expedition of Ming Chengzu Zhu Di, when did the Ming Dynasty achieve such a victory, the change of Tumubao Yingzong was captured, and was beaten to the city of Beijing by the shoe captives several times, the land of the nine sides was looted and attacked, the army and civilians suffered heavy casualties, and the land of the Hetao was slowly occupied.

For so many years, more than a dozen emperors, the only thing to fight for is the battle of Yingzhou between Emperor Zhengde of Ming Wuzong and the little prince of shoes, but the results of the battle are obscure, and it is not clear to be concealed.

But in this battle, he went out of the customs from Datong, fought against a powerful enemy who had an advantage over him in the land of the enemy, won successive battles, and finally attacked the enemy's capital and surrounded the enemy's palace.

As a warrior, destroying the country and killing the king is the highest honor, beheading 20,000 is already a trivial matter, attacking the enemy's capital is already a foregone conclusion, and the next thing is to capture the Khan King of the Tartars, what a glory at this time.

Everyone was a little unable to control their emotions, but they were the generals after all, and they could still remember to observe, and they noticed that the troop vehicles were just surrounded by a distance, and the cannons were being dragged in, and they were taking positions around the main hall.

"Ben Shuai just got the confession of a dying captive, the King of Shunyi, the princess of Shunyi and the prince of Yigan were all held hostage by traitors, I am afraid that they have been poisoned, and now in the main hall, it is just a horse thief and robber pretending to be King Shunyi and others, in order to avenge the Shunyi King's family, and in order to prevent the death and injury of our soldiers, Ben Shuai decided to use artillery to level this place!"

After Wang Tong finished speaking, he was just about to wave his hand and give an order, but Yang Jin, the deputy general on the side, shouted and hurriedly rode closer, and hurriedly said: "Dashuai, send this Tatar Hao chieftain family to Beijing to offer prisoners, the saint will definitely be longyan Dayue, Dashuai is also a meritorious man, if he dies, he will sacrifice uh......"

"Confused, the living are sent to Jingshi, there is still a name of King Shunyi on the head of this shoe, those dead-eyed scholars in Jingshi will definitely make noise, and cause those unnecessary troubles, if there is a recurrence, our labor expedition, so many soldiers killed and injured are not in vain, and it is simply profitable to kill!"

was scolded by Wang Tong, Yang Jin didn't feel angry, he was stunned and nodded, at this moment, a shout broke out from the palace, and then the fire rang out, but it was the people inside who wanted to rush out, and they were directly beaten back.

"It's on fire, it's on fire, the shoes set themselves on fire inside!!"

A soldier shouted, Wang Tong glanced at the palace, there was already smoke coming out of it, he sneered and raised his hand.
