Chapter 961: Yin and Yang, the two strong are dead
The world is always unpredictable, and seven days later, it was not the Qing soldiers who attacked the city of Beijing, but the Chuang army. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
That's right, the first soldiers to come to the city were indeed Qing soldiers, but after Li Zicheng heard the news, he also accelerated the speed of the march, and at the same time, because Beijing was attacked by the Qing soldiers, the Ming army that defended Li Chuang in the west and south also shrank back to the capital, so the army marched forward without hindrance, and only six days later than the Qing soldiers, they reached the west and south sides of Beijing City.
When the Qing soldiers attacked the city of Beijing, due to the lack of the internal response of King Hui and Cao Huachun, coupled with the unity of the army and the people in the city, they could not conquer it.
Li Zicheng picked up a ready-made cheap, the defenders in the city were exhausted by the onslaught of the Qing soldiers for days, after the arrival of the army, there were people who "opened the city gate to meet the king", the Ming army was powerless to stop, so Li Zicheng's soldiers and horses took the lead in breaking the city.
Completely different from the history of another life, although Li Zicheng advanced to Beijing, but because the Qing army was entrenched in the north and east of the city, he had to immediately divide his troops to defend the outer city, and at the same time he sent Liu Zongmin and Li Guo two generals, led the troops outside the city of Beijing at the junction of the northwest and southeast, and the Qing soldiers launched a fierce field battle.
In Li Zicheng's view, from the moment he entered the city of Beijing, the Ming Dynasty no longer existed, so the Qing soldiers in the north and east of the city became the people who picked peaches - Lao Tzu worked hard to cripple the Ming Dynasty army, and you Manchu Tartars came to pick peaches, how can this work?
It is necessary to push back the Qing troops and then sit in Beijing, which is the consensus of Li Zicheng and his generals. In contrast, the Forbidden City, a city within a city, has become a disease of ringworm.
Although two small forces were sent to defeat it, it was concluded that the defensive force in the Forbidden City was not very strong, and it was only a stubborn defense and did not counterattack, so it would be surrounded first, and it would not be too late to wait for the Qing soldiers to clean up the stubborn Chongzhen.
didn't know about this decision, but it gave the old Qian family a glimmer of hope.
At this time, Dai Qisi had already started to drink the blood of animals every day for three days, and Ning Zhong had also started reincarnation yesterday after going out of the city to investigate once at the end. The upper limit of the Qian family's force has become unprecedentedly low, but the comprehensive strength of the bottom has been greatly improved, reaching an unprecedented height!
Why do you say that? Because Lao Qian didn't hide any selfishness, he taught some of the tricks in martial arts that turned decay into magic to two groups of thousands of disciples to practice!
What kind of martial arts did Lao Qian teach the two groups of disciples?
The two cooperated, there was the Jade Girl Suxin Sword Technique, the Anti-Liangyi Sword Technique! The Golden Black Sword Technique, the Snow Mountain Sword Technique! The three people cooperated, and there was the Qinghai School's Heaven, Earth and Man Sancai Sword Formation! The four people cooperated, and the Kunlun Liangyi Sword Technique and the Anti-Liangyi Sword Technique were combined to form the Four Elephant Formation!
The moves that need internal strength to be used are not taught, only those tricks that can be used to increase the power of the tricks, among the many martial arts mentioned above, there are more or less such tricks, and the old money will pick them out and teach them to these people who have a slight martial arts foundation, do not need to master too much, two people together, three people together, four people together, each combination only learns one move!
As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of a thousand moves, you are afraid of one move! The martial arts of thousands of gangs have skyrocketed in this way, and because the martial artists in this era are generally weak, the power of the tricks is even greater!
But then again, although the gang guarding the Forbidden City has greatly increased their strength, Lao Qian still requires them to show weakness, not to kill the invading army at the head of the city, and then kill them silently when they enter the city. To make them feel that this Forbidden City is easy to take, but the troops invested are not enough. Do not lure the enemy's main forces to the Forbidden City.
Under the supervision of Ah Jiu, Jiao Wan'er, An Xiaohui, Luo Liru, An Jianqing and others, his brothers strictly implemented Lao Qian's instructions, which really gave Li Zicheng a very weak feeling.
It is worth mentioning that An Jianqing, the former subordinate of King Hui, has lost his way and began to work for Qian Qingjian.
There are always many coincidences in the world, another life Li Zicheng was the emperor of Dashun in Beijing for forty-three days, this life Li Zicheng and Huang Taiji fought a tug-of-war for forty-one days, and finally lost the enemy, so Li Zicheng gathered his troops and horses and returned to the city, no longer fighting with the Qing soldiers. In these forty-one days, Li Zicheng can be regarded as the master of Beijing City, and in terms of the time he controls Beijing City, he is almost catching up with the forty-three days of another life.
Compared with the army of the Ming Dynasty, although Li Zicheng's Chuang army and Huang Taiji and Dolgon's Qing soldiers were all good at fighting field battles, the Chuang army was inferior to the Manchu Qing in field warfare after all, because the Manchu cavalry had too much advantage.
Being able to support forty-one days under the onslaught of the Manchu cavalry is already a remarkable achievement. Of course, this is also the reason why the morale of the army has not been weakened.
But as Li Zicheng withdrew his troops and entered the city of Beijing, the destined military morale began to be weakened.
"Eat his mother, wear his mother, open the city gate to meet the king, and the king will not pay for the food. "This ballad sounds like that, but what do the hundreds of thousands of horses and horses eat and grass?
Originally, in order to compete for time with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the army was already advancing lightly, which means that hundreds of thousands of troops did not carry grain and grass at all, and relied on eating wherever they went.
But is the ration of these 560,000 people a small amount? The simplest estimate, assuming that one or two market towns have stored grain for three years, will not be able to satisfy the consumption of these hundreds of thousands of troops. Therefore, the Chuang army came to Beijing almost half-starved.
When they arrived in Beijing, the big grain farmers in Beijing fell into blood mold, and if they wanted to eat it, they started with them, but after 41 days, the grain in Beijing was eaten by the intruding army.
Of course, the army does not eat grass, what do they eat after eating the rice shop? Well, eat the people.
The common people were quite happy at first, because they saw that those who were rich and unkind were all eaten poor by the army, and the common people were very relieved of the envy, jealousy and hatred that had accumulated for many years. But as the big households and grain merchants ran out of food, when the army ate the people, the people were not happy.
If you can't be happy, you can't help it, bear with it. I only hope that the Chuang army will defeat the Qing army and resume normal agricultural production.
But what the people never expected was that the army was also human. If you are a person, you will be full of warm thoughts**. Who doesn't want to sleep with a mother-in-law when they have enough to eat and drink? This is human nature! The same is true of the army.
In fact, at the beginning of Li Chuang's entry into the city, this matter already existed, but Liu Zongmin, who was known for his lust at that time, was supervising the army outside the city, and the small army in the city was responsible for appeasing the people's hearts and was always ready to go to the city to defend the city, so even Si ** didn't do anything out of the ordinary a few times.
The characteristic of the common people is that the daughter of the old Wang family in the east of the city has been harmed, and the daughter of the old Zhang family in the west of the city is fine, and the old Zhang family will not say a bad word about breaking into the army.
So the image of the army for 41 days is quite passable.
But with Liu Zongmin's return to the city, this image was immediately ruined.
In fact, the military discipline formulated by Li Yan has never been easy to enforce in Liu Zongmin's department!
As soon as Liu Zongmin entered the city, he looked at the two good-looking merchant daughters who were offered by his subordinates and was furious, "You just let Lao Tzu sleep like this?!"
His subordinates trembled and waited to be punished.
Liu Zongmin did not punish these subordinates: "Go, pass on my general order, and go to the Forbidden City with Lao Tzu! I really don't know what the eldest brother thinks, after entering the city for so long, he hasn't broken the Forbidden City, and let the girls there be idle to raise maggots?"
