PreviousBack to directoryNext
Seeing that Azig was in danger, Dorgon immediately clamped his horse's belly and rushed forward with the rest of the troops. Duduo also rushed forward with his reserve team.

When Wang Chengyin saw this, he quickly joined Yuan Chonghuan and joined forces to jointly deal with Dorgon's attack. Zu Dashou was beaten by the Mongolian cavalry and was unable to stand alone. He was quickly defeated and joined forces with Yuan Chonghuan.

Hauge immediately pursued Wang Chengyin and turned into an attack on Yuan Chonghuan's headquarters.

As a result, all the previous plans went bankrupt, and both the Qing army and the Guan Ning army had turned into a mass fight with concentrated forces.

There was complete chaos outside the Guangqu Gate. There were nearly 10,000 infantry and cavalrymen of the Guanning Army mixed in with the Eight Banners' 1,500 white-armored soldiers and 2,000 Mongolian cavalry.

These Eight Banners soldiers are all white-toothed soldiers, selected from the best. Their combat effectiveness is very strong. Although Guan Ning's army is already the leader of the Ming Dynasty's infantry and cavalry at this time, it is still very difficult to fight. Three times the strength is not enough.

Didn't show much advantage.

At this time, Tu Shan was lying on the low arrow tower of Guangqumen, looking at the arrow window with a gloomy face. He came to see if Yuan Chonghuan and Huang Taiji had colluded. It can be seen from the fighting between the two sides. If it is to crack down on counterfeiting

Yes, he will definitely not be able to escape Tu Shan’s fiery eyes.

Guangqumen is the worst city gate in the imperial capital. There is no other one. The Guangqumen gate tower has only one floor, the corridor is five rooms wide, a single eaves rests on the top of the mountain, and there are cloisters around it. The arrow tower has a single eaves on the top of the mountain, with front and two sides.

There are two floors of arrow windows, with 7 holes on each floor on the front and 3 holes on each floor on both sides, a total of 26 holes.

Although the Guang'an Gate Archery Tower is also a very small two-story building, the tower is majestic and is three stories high, making it very impressive.

As soon as Yuan Chonghuan came out, he immediately attracted the attention of the white-armored soldiers. Countless Baturus came to kill Yuan Chonghuan. This man defeated the Qing army many times and bombarded the old Khan, causing him to be injured and die from wound infection. Jinzhou

He Ningyuan became a big mountain on their way south.

At this time, if we could kill this person, it would be a great achievement.

Therefore, when the two sides were engaged in a chaotic battle, more than a dozen famous warriors among the white-armored soldiers broke through the guard of the elite soldiers and rushed to Yuan Chonghuan.

Hatumutu took the lead and used a solid iron rod to smash two soldiers to death one after another until he rushed in front of Yuan Chonghuan. He threw the iron rod and killed the last soldier standing in front of Yuan Chonghuan again.

Hatumutu pulled out his sword and slashed hard at Yuan Chonghuan's helmet.

Yuan Chonghuan's armor at this time was full of arrows, like a hedgehog. However, his armor was very sophisticated, it only stuck on it, but did not penetrate. There was also a layer of cowhide soft armor inside, which blocked the sharpness of the arrows. But

There are also a few that puncture a few millimeters, causing skin bleeding.

On the left of Yuan Chonghuan is Zhou Wenyu, and on the right is Yuan Sheng.

Zhou Wenyu was actually a civil servant. Yuan Sheng saw the heavy sword coming towards Yuan Chonghuan's helmet. He quickly raised his sword to meet him.

There was a loud clang, and both swords shook, and a string of sparks appeared from the blade. If Yuan Sheng had not blocked the sword, Yuan Chonghuan would have been confused. There would be nothing more to do.

If this attack is carried out, Yuan Chonghuan will become a hero who died in the line of duty for the country. This is what happens in China, everything follows people. If Yuan Chonghuan is gone, he will still resist the Qing army at the gate of the imperial capital.

For those who were killed in battle, Chongzhen not only stopped checking him, but turned him upside down. He also decreed to provide compensation, condolences, and posthumous official and honorary titles.

Although Yuan Sheng saved him, Yuan Chonghuan was ruined half a year later, and all his half-life struggle was in vain, leaving only various controversies and abuses. A prostitute turned good in her later years, and the fireworks of her life were not hindered. A chaste woman lost her old age, and spent half her life in poverty.

Not at all. As the saying goes: "Only look at the second half of a person." This is a true saying.

At this time, Zu Dashou defeated 500 Mongolian soldiers and went straight to the flank of the white-armored soldiers. The two sides fought in melee for half an hour, and the Qing army also consumed a lot of money. At this time, they were flanked and they could not resist and fled in rout.

.

The Ming army immediately pursued them, guerrilla Liu Yingguo, Luo Jingrong, Qianzong Dou Jun and others became more and more courageous as they fought. At this time, Guan Ning's army also broke away from the state of being suppressed and beaten by the white-armored soldiers at the beginning. They were afraid of the white-armored soldiers at first.

, after fighting for half an hour, the fear gradually disappeared, and the fighting power became more and more effective.

At this time, the problem of the small number of Qing soldiers came to light. After the collapse of the Mongolian soldiers, there were only about a thousand of them left, unable to resist the Ming army. They were directly defeated by Zu Dashou's side attack. For a time, the entire army collapsed.

At this time, Guan Ning's army made a comeback against the wind, and their courage increased greatly. These people are extremely brave when fighting against the wind, but they are easily defeated when fighting against the wind. This is why Yang Fan feels that they are not good. An army that cannot fight in adverse circumstances is of little value.

.

They chased the enemy by the canal. It was early spring, and the ice on the river was no longer solid. In some places, the river was even open. The Jin soldiers were eager to cross the river to escape and crowded up. Unexpectedly, the ice collapsed and many soldiers fell into the water.

drowned person.

They are wearing triple armor. Once they fall into the water, they cannot float and can only sink to the bottom.

Sony began to take off his armor on the shore, then dismounted and said to Hauge: "Master Belle, take off your armor quickly and swim across the river. You will sink if you are wearing armor."

Hauge just woke up from a dream. He must have been defeated this time. It was only right to take off his armor quickly before the Ming army rushed here. The few of them were in the biting ice water, hugging the horse's neck,

Swimmed to the other side.

Tu Shan frowned and looked for a while, but he couldn't tell whether Yuan Chonghuan and Jiannu were colluding. It didn't look like a fake fight, and there was no need to be so life-threatening in the fake fight. For the time being, the collusion between Yuan Chonghuan and Huang Taiji could come to an end.

Already.

Seeing that the battle under the city was over, Guan Ning's army had already begun to collect the corpses and cut off their heads. Tu Shan estimated that this time Guan Ning's army defeated Dorgon and others, and estimated that five hundred people were beheaded.

Judging from the history of the Ming army, this is a big victory. But now the Ming Dynasty has an extra person named Yang Fan. Every time the Western Expedition army fights, tens of thousands of people will be beheaded. This has already raised the appetite of the emperor and his ministers.

.You just beheaded 500 people, you still have the nerve to brag about it.

Zhou Wenyu didn't care about this. As Yuan Chonghuan's literary genius, as a confidant and secretary-general, he immediately began to provide the imperial court with documents reporting his victory.

Zhou Wenyu, the flag and drum chief of the Chinese army, said: "I kowtow and bow again. In this battle, the white-armored soldiers won because of the elite, while Guan Ning's army won because of the large number of people. They were indistinguishable for a while. The thieves were raining arrows, and Gong and Yu were defeated.

The two ribs were like those of a hedgehog, which was impenetrable due to the heavy armor. A thief swung his knife to kill the man on duty. He was close to the talented official Yuan Shengsheng and used the knife frame to separate him. The blades were facing each other and folded. The man might be spared. When the soldiers from the south reunited, the thief began to retreat.

Our soldiers also redoubled their efforts to kill, guerrilla Liu Yingguo, Luo Jingrong, Qian Commander Dou Jun, etc., and pursued the thieves directly to the canal. The thieves rushed to cross the canal, and the ice fell, and countless people were drowned. Yuan Junmen, Zu Zongbing, etc., since

From noon to You, we fought fiercely for ten rounds. As for the arrows, we were lucky to win, and the thieves retreated thirty miles. The reason why the thieves failed to capture the capital was because of the hard work of the two generals. The soldiers used their lives in this battle, and there were many casualties. Supervisor

The division and other generals could not bear to see the wounded soldiers mourning in the wilderness, so they begged Your Majesty to show mercy and let the army enter the city to repair it."

After reading the memorial, Chongzhen was speechless.

Although at this time, Yuan Chonghuan used actual actions to prove that he and Huang Taiji had not colluded, the emperor was worried about more than just Huang Taiji. Although this battle temporarily defeated Jiannu, the crisis was far from being resolved.

Wanting to enter the city again, Chongzhen looked livid and looked at the report with cold eyes. The temperature of the entire Qianqing Palace seemed to have dropped a lot. The eunuchs and maids lowered their heads, fearing that the emperor would notice them, and did not dare to breathe.
