Chapter eight hundred and seventy-two bloody battle in the inner city
From the victory that is about to be won, to falling into hell, this change in mood can make people collapse. Not to mention that the Runing troops rushing in the front row are all Yang Rusong's personal soldiers. They are half-clad in plate armor, and even
The masks were put down, and it seemed as if a cold aura was exuding from his body.
Therefore, the soldiers of Dashun Army did not want to resist at all. They just wanted to escape from these "gods of death". If they could escape with their lives, they would call their companions back to "recover the situation."
However, the Runing Army sprinting at high speed would not let them get what they wanted. Not to mention those who were kicked away by the war horses, even the people who escaped could not escape the slashing and killing of the Runing Army cavalry on horseback. This Dashun Army immediately changed.
It's so sparse.
So the cavalry in the rear row immediately roared forward. They wiped the sides with their sabers, taking away lives one by one. So in a short period of time, this group of Dashun troops was slaughtered.
At the sound of the copper whistle, the Runing Army cavalry briefly formed a team, and then charged towards the next target.
…
"Kill with pleasure! Kill with pleasure!" Yang Chengzu shouted excitedly to Yang Rusong.
Yang Chengzu and his horse were already spattered with blood. Today, Yang Chengzu, like Yang Rusong, was at the forefront. He killed many soldiers of the Dashun Army, and even his saber was damaged.
Several gaps were opened. But when he thought that he could make Li Zicheng deflate, Yang Chengzu felt as comfortable as eating ice cubes in the summer of June.
The distance the Runing army charges does not need to be very far, because they only need to guard three city gates. Therefore, the various troops that are charging can easily meet each other, and every time they encounter, each troops also take the opportunity to rest.
, recover some physical strength and prepare for the next charge.
"boom--!"
There was an explosion on the wall that divided the inner and outer city. It was Li Lu and the others who were blowing up the stairs to the top of the city and the passage on the wall. But this kind of explosion only opened a few gaps in the stairs and passages.
After all, it is impossible for Li Lu and others to master modern directional blasting technology. If the amount of gunpowder is too large, it is very likely that even the city wall will be blown down. At that time, I will really cry without tears.
"General Yang! Can you really blow up two cities?"
Since it was a break, Yang Chengzu also chatted for a few words. No matter how deep his hatred for Li Zicheng was, Yang Chengzu's first priority was his own safety.
"How can that be possible?" Yang Rusong replied with a smile, "The city wall will only have a few big holes blown up, and at most a section of the stairs will be blown up. It can be filled in by sending some dead soldiers. It will seal the city gate.
Won't the thieves dig it out? That means it will make them more troublesome, and we will still need to stop them when the time comes."
"That's not good. It will be a bit difficult then." Yang Chengzu also laughed.
"We are just stalling for time, waiting for the arrival of the adults. But with these men, even if the intruder has a million lions, he can still stop him for ten days." Yang Rusong said.
As Wu Shigong's former military commander, many of Yang Rusong's behaviors were imitated by Wu Shigong. Wu Shigong has always been reluctant to deceive others. Wu Shigong has always put difficulties in the open, letting others make their own choices. But this way
The attitude also shows that Wu Shigong and other senior officials of the Runing Army have strong self-confidence.
And now Yang Chengzu is just doing this, and he appreciates Yang Rusong's attitude more and more. After rebelling for so many years, Yang Chengzu has also taken life and death lightly. But after Luo Rucai was killed by Li Zicheng, Yang Chengzu became particularly sensitive to his comrades.
Betrayal. So when he saw Yang Rusong be so honest, he was really glad that he had found a good employer.
So Yang Chengzu said happily: "Haha! I have heard about General Wu's beauty for a long time, but I regret that I have never seen him. I wonder if I will still have this honor."
"There must be one!" Yang Rusong also smiled and said, "I can't wait a few more days. If the master says he will come, then he will definitely come. Our Runing Army has never abandoned our robes."
"Okay! Brother, my hands are itchy again. I have to go out and kill a few more thieves!"
"Then... let's go together!?"
"Hahaha--!"
There were not many people on the streets of Beijing late at night, but there were also quite a few. Some were taking advantage of the war to rob, but more of them were officials and officials. They just wanted to escape to the outer city to survive.
Ren Pojun was walking with a long spear in hand and escorting a group of people. He was a leader of the Warrior Battalion, and he also wanted to go to the outer city.
Ren Pojun was a Han nationality who fled south from Mongolia. As soon as he arrived at the border pass, he was incorporated into the death camp at the border pass. After fighting at the border pass for many years, Ren Pojun was gradually promoted to a thousand generals based on his merit.
He was noticed by the eunuchs overseeing the army at the border and transferred to the warrior camp in the capital.
As for the warrior camp, it was almost composed of Han and Mongolian people who had fled south. Almost all of them were single, and they were all veterans who had experienced hundreds of battles.
As the most powerful imperial army in the Ming Dynasty, the Warrior Battalion received excellent treatment. Needless to say, food and salary supplies were provided, as well as armor, war horses, etc. This battalion was actually the private soldiers of the Imperial Horse Supervisor and the personal soldiers of the Ming Emperor.
Therefore, when the inner city was broken through by the Dashun Army and the imperial city was threatened, the soldiers of the Warrior Battalion rushed to the imperial city with all their strength to rescue them. Unexpectedly, they heard about the huge changes in the palace halfway, which made the soldiers of the Warrior Battalion immediately
Lost the courage to fight.
The emperor succeeded, the emperor failed. These loyal soldiers, as long as the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was still there, they had the courage to fight to the last man. But once the emperor was gone, they immediately lost the goal of fighting, so they had four thousand
The warrior camp of men and horses suddenly turned into a mess, and the whole army collapsed immediately.
At the time of the collapse, there were more than 400 soldiers fleeing with Ren Pojun. At this time, Ren Pojun thought clearly: in a hurry, it was too late to take off his armor and throw down his weapons.
Even if they are disguised as ordinary people, it is impossible for these more than 400 people to hide in civilian houses. So just run for a moment! If you can run to the escape team in the outer city, what about these brothers in the warrior camp?
It can also last a little longer.
I don’t know whether it was due to great luck or extremely bad luck. During his escape, Ren Pojun encountered more than forty people disguised as civilians. Ren Pojun had been dealing with the eunuchs of the Royal Horse Supervisor for a long time, so he glanced at them.
It can be seen that among this group of people, many people are eunuchs who have put on makeup.
Among those eunuchs, there were also people who knew Ren Pojun. After all, Ren Pojun was one of the top leaders in the warrior camp. So after a short conversation, Ren Pojun was surprised to learn that those eunuchs
It was to protect several princes, princes, princesses and important concubines in the palace who were on the run.
There is nothing to say. Ren Pojun must have been escorting the prince and they escaped together. After all, having the prince gave the remnants of the warrior camp a goal to continue fighting. In the process of escaping, this team also became more and more fierce.
The army grew larger and larger, and many officials and civilians who had also fled joined the team, but more soldiers from the warrior battalion who had fled gathered together again.
Like Ren Pojun, the soldiers in the warrior camp also had a fighting goal again. Not to mention, in this night that was like an apocalyptic catastrophe, the prince was like a straw... being held tightly by the soldiers in the warrior camp.
The soldiers were captured. As a result, there were now more than a thousand soldiers in the warrior battalion guarding the escape.
But when there are more people, the escape speed will definitely be much slower. And this huge escape team also attracted the Dashun army, so the pursuers also pursued them closer and closer.
Seeing that it was difficult to escape, Ren Pojun sighed deeply in his heart. He stopped, waved the long spear in his hand, and shouted: "My brother is willing to stay with me after we are divorced. The others will protect the prince and go to the outer city."
run."
Normally, Ren Pojun was relatively friendly to the soldiers in the camp, so when he heard his cry, more than a hundred people stopped. But at this moment, "rumbling" horse hooves were also heard behind him.
Ren Pojun's heart suddenly sank to the bottom: "It's broken! The bandits are attacking from both sides. It seems that they can't escape this time."
Ren Pojun quickly arranged for the prince and the others to stand against the wall, and then arranged the soldiers from the Warrior Battalion on the outside in layers to engage in a final fight with the Dashun Army, a life-and-death struggle.
In the darkness, the cavalry behind them also appeared. They were fully armored. When they saw Ren Pojun and the others, they all shouted loudly: "Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"
When they saw that the cavalry behind them were dressed as officers and soldiers, the crowd suddenly burst into cheers: "The reinforcements are coming! The reinforcements are coming!" Many people cried with joy. The soldiers of the Warrior Battalion also immediately moved out of the way to let the soldiers.
Let the cavalry pass by.
Those cavalrymen immediately rushed into the pursuers of the Dashun Army, slashing and killing the enemy soldiers below them continuously. Seeing the rescue battle, the soldiers of the Warrior Battalion were also excited. "Ah——!" shouted, the warriors of the Warrior Battalion shouted.
The soldiers also followed and went up to kill them. Caught off guard, the chasing Dashun army was killed and retreated continuously.
The cavalry that followed also continued to participate in the battle. Some cavalry saw that it was difficult to join the battle group. They took off the firecrackers from their horses, then climbed onto the back of the horse holding the firecrackers, and climbed up the street.
Then, the gunmen who climbed onto the roof fired continuously at the Dashun Army who came for support. Under the continuous attacks from the upper and lower directions, the pursuers of the Dashun Army were finally defeated.
Seeing that the pursuers were defeated, Ren Pojun came to the leading cavalry general, bowed and saluted. "Thank you, general! Who are you, general?"
"Hahaha——! Camp Leader Ren! Don't you recognize me?" The cavalry general immediately lifted his mask.
"Huh!? Who are you?" Ren Pojun looked at the face of the young general in front of him, feeling somewhat familiar, but he could not recall his name.
