"Someone escaped from the commander."

Zhang Dashan sat in his seat, humming a tune while listening to the sound of cannons. Not to mention how comfortable it was, suddenly he heard the report below. How could anyone else run out?

Looking through the telescope, it turns out that on the southeast side of Jinzhou City, a cavalry was retreating frantically to the northeast, which was obviously running out of another door.

"No need to chase after you. There are a bunch of mobs in the middle of the night. I immediately ordered my brothers to prepare to enter the city. This is the first fortress outside the pass. We have to occupy it first. Even if we cannot win this trip, it will be a result."

Zhang Dashan said with a smile that now this guy has regarded himself as a winner. Although he has not yet reached Shengjing City, the combat effectiveness of the Qing army outside the pass is too poor, and he does not even have the courage to leave the city camp.

Compared with the Qing army in the pass, the difference is not a little bit worse. If it were the people in the past, at least the cavalry team would dare to come out to attack for a while. Now these people just fled when they saw the artillery fire.

The city wall was already bombed, and there were no defenders on the city wall, and the people in the city were not stupid. They could see the situation clearly just now. If they continued to hold on, the entire army would be destroyed, and the above did not let them stand firm on Jinzhou.

I originally wanted to stick to it for a day or two and make a move for the superiors, even if I could pass it well, but who knew that the Ming army's offensive was so fierce.

Just when the two sides meet, the city wall on the west will be useless. If we ask others to continue fighting like this, we may become a turtle in the jar.

Toruchi immediately retreated with his men. This guy was originally a little ambitious and wanted to teach Dorgon a lesson here.

But unfortunately, the two sides fought completely differently. He did not expect that the Ming army would fight like this. The two sides had no contact yet. The biggest city wall we rely on here is gone, so how can we even be too fart...

"The teaching team entered the city, and the others were on guard..."

After Zhang Dashan issued the order, the teaching team immediately sent a vanguard battalion, and they rushed to the bottom of the city as fast as possible.

Because the entire city wall was already in ruins, there was no need to enter through the city gate. The Forward Battalion was divided into several teams and crossed directly from the city wall. The situation inside the city was clear at a glance.

Originally, there were some ordinary people in Jinzhou City, but when the Ming army retreated, some of them followed the retreat to the pass. Later, the Qing people occupied the place and implemented a policy of investment in it, so there was only one-third of the original people left.

Now in these years, one-third of them have either been forced to enlist in the army or were killed by these Qing people. There are less than a thousand ordinary people in the city, and more than two hundred of them are Qing people.

Zhang Dashan has issued an order to the people below. The common people outside the pass are different from those inside the pass. No matter which tribe they are, they will be treated as prisoners of war.

Of course, they will also be given some corresponding care in terms of being a coolie, and will not be the same as the prisoners of war. If there were no three years of transformation, they would never be released.

At that time, many people were a little dissatisfied with His Royal Highness’ order, but after occupying Jinzhou City, they finally understood what His Royal Highness’s thoughts.

Three soldiers were assassinated that night, which shows that there are many people loyal to the Qing Dynasty in Jinzhou City. They are not willing to accept their failure, but they are of no use on the front battlefield, so they put all their hopes on assassination.

How could the army have so much effort to distinguish these ordinary people? So it is the best way to lock them all in prisoners of war camps, and it is the best way to do it. It is a coolie for three years.

As long as you can get through it, you will become an ordinary citizen after you come out, exactly like other people. But if you show your strength in it, don’t blame us for being rude and have to use your head to pay tribute to the dead brothers.

Zhang Dashan did not waste any time in Jinzhou. In addition to setting up a prisoner of war camp outside the city, he left two infantry companies, and the rest continued to set off on the road.

Logistics troops will come from behind. They came to build a military station outside the pass, and then the people in the prisoner-of-war camp will be useful.

After a night of inventory, a total of 3,000 people entered the prisoner-of-war camp, more than 1,800 of whom were Qing soldiers, and the remaining more than 1,200 were local people. According to the court's policies, they were all locked up inside, and ten people just worked honestly for a group.

Dorgon was shocked again at the speed of the Ming army. Although he had already prepared himself, he had never seen such speed before.

Jinzhou is a very important city outside the pass, but it did not take much time to deal with it. One day later, the army embarked on the right path. At this moment, their target was Shengjing, the old nest of the Qing people.

According to the information found, the Rakshasa Musket Team was in Shengjing City, and there were Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang and his men.

After returning to Liaodong, the wise empress dowager was not idle either and summoned all the people of all races. Now he has more than 20,000 people under his command.

Although the number of people is not large, these people usually make a living by hunting and fishing, so their combat effectiveness is not necessarily inferior to those regular soldiers.

While Zhang Dashan was thinking about these things, gunfire came from the front battalion.

The gunshots were very dense, and I knew they were from ours as soon as I heard them. After about a cup of tea, the gunshots stopped, and the officers from the Forward Battalion also came over to report.

"Have you met an enemy?"

Zhang Dashan looked at his subordinates. The guy had a bandage wrapped around his arm, and it seemed that he had been shot by a bow and arrow.

"A Qing army appeared in the mountains on the left, with a population of about fifty people. They had a geographical advantage and launched a sneak attack on us. Seven people died and nine were injured. The remaining three of them escaped were killed."

Zhang Dashan nodded, and had a preparation in his heart. He has now entered the nest of the Qing people. They are very clear about the surrounding situation. If they always attack us like this along the way, even if they don’t lose much once or twice, they are still far away to Shengjing City!
