Chapter 303 Qin Army Enters the City Chongzhen Slaughtering His Wife and Concubine

The huge vibration ended and the smoke dispersed.

The southern wall of the capital city collapsed 300 meters.

The Ming army and Hongyi cannons on the city wall were buried together with the collapsed city wall.

Su Hu saw that the city wall was successfully blasted, revealing a huge gap.

There were many collapsed ruins, but they were only one or two meters high and could not stop the Qin army at all.

Su Hu went up and kicked Zhou Dahu, who was stunned and stunned.

"What are you doing standing still? Lead your troops and rush into the capital immediately."

Commander Zhou Dahu immediately reacted. According to the original plan, his division needed to rush into the capital and seize the Yongding Gate at this time.

Only in this way can large armies and heavy weapons enter the capital through the city gate.

Zhou Dahu trotted towards the camp and immediately ordered the first division that had been prepared to attack the city.

"Bai Yuangui, your regiment is a model regiment of our Third Army, occupy the gap for me and hold it firmly.

Even if you fight to the last person, you will never be allowed to retreat.

As the vanguard, you must clear a path for the army to pass.

I will take the main force and follow you closely.

If you withstand the pressure of the Ming army in front of you, we will win."

Bai Yuangui led his group, carrying rifles and grenades, and some others carried simple ladders.

They rushed directly to the gap in the city wall.

They need to climb over ruins and cannot carry heavy weapons.

Bai Yuangui saw the Ming army endure such a huge explosion.

The Ming army on the city wall was stunned by the explosion. They looked at the missing section of the city wall and the Qin army rushing over, without any reaction.

Bai Yuangui knew this was good news, so he took advantage of the chaos of the Ming army and rushed into the city.

The soldiers under his command will lose many lives in battle.

"Try as hard as you can to feed me. Run as fast as you can. Don't save your energy at this time."

Bai Yuangui led his troops across the moat padded with sandbags at a sprint speed of 100 meters.

Only some officers of the Ming army on the city wall reacted, and they used red cannons to attack the Qin army approaching the city wall.

Because the city wall facing the Qin army has collapsed.

Other Hongyi cannons on the city wall caused certain casualties to the Qin army, but the casualties were not too large.

Bai Yungui watched as soldiers under his command continued to fall, but he could endure the number of casualties, and the morale of the Qin army was not affected.

They were attacked by the Ming army and ran faster.

Soon we came to the place where the city wall collapsed.

When the Qin army ran here, they were already in the blind spot of the other Hongyi cannons on the city wall.

Only when the front city wall passes through other city defense weapons can the enemy be effectively killed.

But now the front wall in front of them has completely collapsed.

The Ming army's muskets and bows had limited range and could not hit the Qin army which was farther away.

Now they are in a safer place.

Bai Yuangui looked back and found that the follow-up troops had already followed.

The Ming army on the city wall also fully reacted, and the follow-up troops suffered a more powerful blow from the Ming army.

"Brothers, as the vanguard, we must immediately break through these ruins and break into the capital.

Prevent the Ming army in the capital from blocking this gap."

After Bai Yuangui finished speaking, he took the lead to climb up these ruins and kill towards the capital.

The collapsed city walls were very irregular, flat in some places and more than two meters high in others.

But the city wall of this height could not affect the Qin army at all.

This height can be climbed directly with a simple ladder.

Bai Yuangui had just climbed more than halfway and could already see the situation in the capital.

He saw that the Ming army was already on the opposite side and began to gather towards the collapsed city wall.

"When encountering enemy troops ahead, everyone should be on alert."

Bai Yuangui pulled the fuse of the grenade and threw it directly forward.

A large number of grenades helped the Qin army open up a road.

Bai Yuangui led his troops and launched an attack directly to the front.

The sound of rifles resounded non-stop, and the Ming army approaching from the front was quickly defeated.

Bai Yuangui stared closely at the Ming army in front, and he missed the target.

After stabilizing his body, he found that he had stepped on solid ground.

"We have entered the capital and immediately set up defensive positions to prevent the Ming army from retaking this place."

Bai Yuangui has led his troops into the capital. As long as he stays here for ten minutes, large Qin troops will continue to enter the capital.

The Qin army immediately built a defensive position and used rubble as a bunker. They hid behind the bunker to block the continuous attacks of the huge Ming army.

…………………………

Zhu Chunchen heard several loud noises, and then felt a shaking under his feet. He saw that the southern city wall in front of him had collapsed.

"The thieves in yellow blew up the city wall, what method did they use?

It’s too fast to break into the capital so quickly.”

Then Zhu Chunchen realized that the Ming Dynasty was about to die.

He thought silently in his heart: "No, the Ming Dynasty cannot be destroyed yet.

I haven't negotiated good terms with the thief in yellow yet. If the thief in yellow enters the city now, our Chengguo Palace will also be destroyed."

Zhu Chunchen immediately began to command the heavy troops hidden in the Temple of Heaven to launch a counterattack against the Qin army attacking the city.

He wanted to lead his troops to seize the gap where the city wall collapsed, and he must keep the thieves in yellow out of the city wall.

Zhu Chunchen commanded more than 10,000 people to attack the position of 1,000 yellow-robed thieves.

He attacked three times in a row, and the Beijing camp collapsed three times, but he failed to defeat the thieves in yellow on the opposite side.

…………………………

Zhou Dahu patted Bai Yungui on the shoulder.

"Captain Bai, thank you for your hard work. The main force has arrived."

Zhou Dahu looked at the huge number of corpses of the Ming army in front of the position, as well as the corpses of the Qin army that fell in the position.

Bai Yuangui's regiment has been reduced by one-third, and they have experienced brutal battles.

"The first brigade is responsible for the west wall of Yongding Gate, and the second brigade is responsible for the east wall of Yongding Gate.

The third brigade took Yongding Gate and opened the city gate to let the main force enter the city.

Take action now, our army is responsible for capturing the outer city of the capital."

Zhou Dahu immediately ordered his troops to disperse and seize the city walls of the capital.

Su Hu saw that the Ming army on the south wall had been eliminated one after another, and the Qin army's flag was raised on the south wall.

Zhou Dahu has already seized the southern city wall of the capital, and now the Yongding Gate is directly blown open by the explosive package.

Su Hu led his troops with heavy artillery and entered the capital through Yongding Gate.

When he entered the city, he called Wei Yunshang, commander of the second division, and Gu Guangnian, commander of the third division.

"Wei Yunshang attacked Xuanwumen and cooperated with the imperial guards to attack the west wall.

Gu Guangnian attacked Chongwenmen and cooperated with the Seventh Army to attack the east city wall.

After taking down the east and west city walls, cooperate with the Imperial Guards and the Seventh Army to seize the north city wall to the north.

Zhou Dahu followed me to attack Zhengyang Gate and led his troops directly to the Forbidden City.

Don't worry about other places in the capital for now. You just need to guard the city gate and don't let Ming Xungui escape.

We must capture the Forbidden City first."

Su Hu arranged the action plan of the Third Army. More than 40,000 people in the Third Army rushed towards their respective targets, dragging heavy weapons.

The inner city walls of the capital do not have a large number of Hongyi cannons on them, and these walls are not as strong as the outer city walls.

Unable to stop them, the Qin army attacked the city with heavy artillery.

Su Hu believed that he and his troops could break into the Forbidden City today.

…………………………

Su He saw that the Third Army had completely occupied the southern wall of the capital.

Yongding Gate was opened by the Qin army, and the heavy weapons of the Third Army could be transported from Yongding Gate to the capital.

Su He said happily: "The plan is successful, our army has entered the capital, and we will be able to capture the capital soon.

Shiyuan sent people to Hanzhong to inform Prime Minister Wang Zhongce and everyone in the palace to make preparations.

Wait for my order to move here in the capital."

The Qin army has captured the capital.

The reason why Beijing can be regarded as one of the ancient capitals is because of its excellent location.

At least it is much better than Hanzhong and is suitable as a political center.

If Su He takes over the Forbidden City, the Prince of Qin's palace and central institutions will definitely move to the capital with him.

When Wang Shiyuan received Su He's order, he immediately arranged for someone to ride a fast horse to Hanzhong to inform him of the news.

…………………………

Huang Dongping heard gunshots and huge cannons ringing outside.

Huang's grain store has been constantly harassed by officials during this period, and he has closed the door of the grain store.

Huang Dongping immediately sent his men through the back door to find out what was going on in the city.

The continuous sound of gunfire was really scary.

The boy's face turned pale and he ran in from the back door.

"The shopkeeper is in trouble, the thieves in yellow, ah no, the Qin Army, the Qin Army came in from outside.

Now the Ming army is retreating steadily, and the Qin army is attacking Chongwenmen with cannons thicker than humans.

I saw many people watching, and I braved the situation to see what was going on.

After just a few shots, Chongwen Gate was on the verge of collapse.

I saw cannons sounding continuously, and within a short time, Chongwen Gate was blasted open by the Qin army.

The Qin army, which could not be seen beyond the horizon, rushed directly into the inner city."

Huang Dongping heard the news that the Qin army had entered the capital.

He was completely relaxed, and the war in the capital was finally over.

The Qin army has already entered the capital. In a few days, they will be able to operate normally.

I read in the newspaper that the business environment under the Qin army was very good.

I hope what the newspaper said is true.

Huang Dongping walked out of the room with courage.

He saw that many of the villagers in Chongbeifang came out to watch the fun.

Qin soldiers carrying rifles patrolled Chongbeifang, chasing Ming soldiers who were hiding.

However, they did not disturb the people and were very polite to them.

Only when the Qin army looked like this did they show signs of being a king.

…………………………

The inner city of the capital is in chaos, with the residences of civil servants, military generals and nobles.

They heard that Xuanwumen and Chongwenmen were broken into by thieves in yellow clothes.

Many people were shocked by the news that the thieves in yellow had entered the capital.

None of them expected that the thief in yellow was so fast and could continuously attack the outer city and the inner city in such a short period of time.

The Jin Yiwei who reported the news entered the Forbidden City from Chengtian Gate, crossed the Meridian Gate and arrived at Qianqing Palace.

He knelt outside the Qianqing Palace and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the thieves in yellow have entered the capital.

Now the army of thieves in yellow have broken through Zhengyang Gate and are heading towards Chengtian Gate.

The defenders of Chengtianmen may not be able to resist for long, so please make preparations in advance."

When Emperor Chongzhen heard the news, he sat slumped in his chair.

"The thieves in yellow have entered the capital. The Ming Dynasty is over. The Ming Dynasty is over."

Emperor Chongzhen's blood-red eyes showed a hint of murderous intent.

He immediately arranged for the eunuchs to take the prince into the palace.

It was sent to the residence of Jiading Bo Zhou Kui, Duke Yingying, Duke Cheng Guo and other nobles.

I hope his sons can escape this disaster.

It's not a big hope, but it's a glimmer of hope.

Emperor Chongzhen ordered the eunuchs to call all his wives, concubines, and daughters to Qianqing Palace.

When the palace received news that the thief in yellow had entered, the palace was already in chaos.

There were many palace maids and eunuchs running around.

Someone wanted to take this opportunity to hide some antiques, calligraphy, gold and silver jewelry and escape from the palace.

Emperor Chongzhen's wives and concubines were also in chaos, and the eunuch took them to Qianqing Palace.

These wives and concubines thought Emperor Chongzhen had taken them out of the capital.

Only Queen Zhou looked wrong. Based on his understanding of Emperor Chongzhen, the fate of these people was worrying.

These wives and concubines were taken to Qianqing Palace by eunuchs.

When they saw Emperor Chongzhen holding his sword, his blood-red eyes filled with murderous intent, everyone was stunned.

Emperor Chongzhen looked at his wives and concubines, and the murderous intent in his eyes became even stronger.

He ordered the eunuch beside him: "Send them on their way and use white silk to commit suicide to save them too much pain."

These eunuchs were so frightened that they knelt down and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, please take back your order."

Emperor Chongzhen was indifferent. He knew that if the Ming Dynasty perished, his wives, concubines, and daughters would end badly.

They will become the tools for the victors to demonstrate their strength.

Emperor Chongzhen's proud character would never allow his wives and concubines to become other people's playthings in the future.

He pointed his sword at the eunuchs who were kneeling and kowtowed, and ordered in a stern tone: "Do it, or I will execute you immediately."

Empress Zhou bowed to Emperor Chongzhen and said, "I know your Majesty's difficulties.

We concubines can die, these young daughters.

Your Majesty, can you ask the eunuchs and maids to take them out of the palace and leave them a way to survive?"

Emperor Chongzhen did not speak. He believed that death was the only solution for his daughters, and he could not let them suffer more in the world.

Empress Zhou did not let the eunuch take action, she hanged herself directly in Qianqing Palace.

The sickly Concubine Tian saw Empress Zhou hang herself, and she knew that none of these people could survive today.

Concubine Tian said to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, take care. I, my concubine, will take the first step."

Concubine Tian Guifei followed Queen Zhou and hanged herself to death.

Emperor Chongzhen watched Queen Zhou and his most beloved Concubine Tian die one after another.

The other concubines were trembling and didn't make any move.

He immediately ordered the eunuch: "You take action immediately, or I will kill you first."

These eunuchs had no choice but to obey Emperor Chongzhen's order and took out the white silk to send Emperor Chongzhen's concubine on her way.

All the wives and concubines of Emperor Chongzhen were dead. This scene frightened the young daughters into crying.

He raised his sword and slashed at the nearest daughter.

Looking at the young face, Emperor Chongzhen was a little reluctant to do anything.

Thinking of what would happen to these daughters, he gritted his teeth and raised his sword to chop down with all his strength.

There was a loud bang and a huge explosion suddenly occurred near Qianqing Palace.

Emperor Chongzhen was frightened by the explosion, lost his footing, and fell to the ground.

Wang Chengen rushed in directly from outside, grabbed Emperor Chongzhen and fled.

"Your Majesty, run quickly. The thief in yellow is coming. If you don't run away, it will be too late."

The eunuchs and royal guards protected Emperor Chongzhen and fled to the Xuanwu Gate in the north.

Opposite Xuanwu Gate is Long live Mountain, also known as Meishan.
