But it was said that Wu Sangui led his cavalry out of the city and handed over command to Tang Tong. This was also the most critical moment.
At that time, the Qing army's attack on the city was the most intense. It was suppressed by artillery in the long range and assisted by bows and arrows in the middle. When the situation was most critical, the Qing army had already boarded the city.
The Ming troops on the city fought bravely against the enemy, firing with artillery, shooting with bows and arrows, and fighting hand-to-hand at the top of the city...
It was at this moment that Wu Sangui led his troops out of the city. In order to avoid accidental damage, the archers and cannons on the city stopped firing. One after another, the Ming army at the top of the city was under greater pressure.
The Qing army's artillery shells, bows and arrows, and soldiers continued to attack the city, which caused great psychological and practical pressure on Tang Tong. In order to boost his morale, he drew his sword and led his soldiers into the city.
Fortunately, this pressure was short-lived. After Wu Sangui's cavalry circled from the North City to the West City and swept through the Qing troops, and started killing, the pressure on the city suddenly disappeared. After the few Qing troops who climbed the city were killed, there were no successors!
Seeing the Ming cavalry below the city as if they were entering an uninhabited land, Tang Tong was panting like an ox and wiped the blood on his face. Without enough time to smile lightly, he led his troops straight to Nancheng.
Outside the south city, there was a Han banner of the Qing army attacking from the side. Kong Youde and other troops of King Sanshun could attack from the side at any time, but the offensive was not weaker than the main attack firepower from the west. If not for the brave resistance of the Ming army on the city and the defensive fortifications,
It was perfect, but if it was not kept intact, they would make a hole in it. At the most critical moment, the Qing army climbed onto the Wengcheng wall.
Seeing that Ximenwai's offensive had slowed down, Tang Tong immediately rushed to the south gate and directed the artillery to bombard the enemy's formation. However, he had to order the artillery bombardment to stop after only half a cup of tea.
Because Wu Sangui's family general Wu Zhao led thousands of cavalry to the city to clear the city.
It is said that King Sanshun was sitting a few miles outside the south gate of the city, watching the Qing army attacking the city in the distance, commenting on the country as always, just like drinking tea and watching a play. The three of them all felt that although Ningyuan City had escaped several disasters in more than ten years, this
Definitely not that lucky once.
The reasons are very good. In terms of military strength, it is the strongest compared to previous years. In terms of firepower, it is the strongest compared to previous years. In terms of the generals guarding the city, there were the famous Yuan Chonghuan, Zu Dashou, Man Gui and others, but now they are just a young boy Wu Sangui.
Let’s talk about national strength, logistics, armament and morale... At this time, the Great Minglong was stuck in shallow water, struggling and waiting to die.
All that is left of Ming Dynasty is the skin and bones.
However, this bone was still a bit hard, and it was very painful when chewed. Seeing the siege from three sides, the Ming army in the city resisted fiercely, and the firepower was far beyond their expectations, they couldn't help but look surprised.
But with the Qing army's crazy offensive at the west gate, and even once ascended the city, the three of them finally smiled...
Before the smile disappeared, it condensed on his face!
As soon as Wu Sangui's cavalry army came out of the city, their skills shocked everyone. Duduo and Azig in the west were dumbfounded. Dorgon and Fan Wencheng who were watching the battle on the first mountain were dumbfounded. These three guys were also dumbfounded.
Seeing the Qing army fleeing in Xicheng and seeing a Ming army coming to kill them below the city, the three of them were slightly panicked.
The three kings of Shun were of the same age, but their strengths varied. Among them, Kong Youde was the most powerful. When he came to the Qing Dynasty, he brought a large amount of equipment and artillery-making skills, which was highly valued by the Manchu court. He also had the God-Blessed Army under his command, which was a gratifying military strategy.
Xun, the one at the bottom is Geng Zhongming.
However, as strangers in a foreign land, the life of these three people may not be easy. It is common for them to be looked down upon and ostracized by other Qing generals. However, this makes the three of them more united. Although Geng Zhongming and Kong Youde had just surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, there was a gap between them.
There was a slight rift, but after Huang Taiji's mediation, the two of them put aside their differences and became good buddies. As long as they went out to fight, they were always inseparable. The only time they separated, they separated forever. Of course, this was only a few years later.
In short, Kong Youde is the most powerful among the three, and he is the leader.
Seeing that the Ming army was fighting its way out of the city, and that a detachment of men and horses were killing the Qing infantry attacking the city outside the south gate, Geng Zhongming was the first to lose control and ordered his cavalry to go for reinforcements and stabilize the position.
But he was stopped by Shang Kexi, looking towards the west. The infantry over there was defeated and the cavalry was unstable. If they were dispersed by the Ming army, the consequences of this battle would be disastrous. It would have an irreparable impact on the overall situation of entering the pass, so in front of the south
A small victory or a small loss at the gate is nothing. They should immediately rush to the aid of the Qing army outside the west gate.
Among the three, Shang Kexi was the last to surrender but was the most loyal to the Qing court. Years later during the San Francisco Rebellion, Wu Sangui wrote a letter inviting him to rebel, but he refused. His son Shang Zhixin placed him under house arrest and forced him to rebel, but he still refused.
He was even prepared to set himself on fire and die to serve the Qing Dynasty.
Hearing what he said, Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming also felt that it was reasonable. They immediately ordered the cavalry to go towards the west city to support the Duduo tribe. They turned a blind eye to the Ming army cavalry outside the south gate and allowed them to rush and kill them and go straight to the east city.
Besides, after Wu Sangui led his cavalry to kill the Qing army outside Ximen City, he divided his troops and went to the south gate. Then he raised his arms and shouted to pursue them westward, and at the same time he wanted to break the siege of the young eunuchs.
With tens of thousands of cavalry and thousands of horses galloping, the poor Qing infantry were either hacked to death or trampled to death by horses. They were lucky enough to survive and fled like headless flies, but then rushed into their own cavalry formation, breaking up the formation and allowing Aziz to
Ge was so angry that he couldn't stop scolding and ordered his own soldiers to kill him. He cut a road forcibly and mobilized his cavalry to fight the Ming army.
A hasty battle amidst the retreating infantry crowd is destined to end tragically.
Wu Sangui has been in the army for many years, and he has never been so passionate and joyful as he is today. Under his leadership, tens of thousands of cavalry rushed outside the city and killed all directions. The Qing army was defeated like an ebbing tide, even in the so-called battle without war.
The invincible Manchu and Qing cavalry were also defeated by themselves.
The Ming Dynasty had been ravaged for many years, and the frontier troops were repeatedly defeated and humiliated. Today is the time to avenge the humiliation!
Wu Sangui was full of pride. Looking at the big palace flag in the Qing army's formation, his heart was filled with excitement. A eunuch was so kind and bloody, he really embarrassed me!
The little eunuch used hundreds of cavalry to overwhelm more than ten thousand Qing troops. His courage was so shocking. Seeing him rushing left and right in the enemy formation, unstoppable, it was like Zhao Zilong's reincarnation and Huo Qubing's resurrection.
Watching this scene, Wu Sangui's blood boiled. He remembered that when he had more than ten riders to rescue his father among tens of thousands of Qing troops, he was also a bloody man. Now his blood is still there. He swung his long sword and was about to kill himself to save the siege, but suddenly there was news from the southeast.
The sound of killing started louder. Looking back, I saw more than 10,000 Qing troops coming from the other side to kill, but it was the Qing troops from the south gate who came for reinforcements.
The overall situation was the most important thing. Wu Sangui swept the situation away. The cavalry of the two armies were already fighting together. The pressure on the little eunuch's side was relieved. He was able to fight his way out of the siege on his own. The crisis was no longer a concern.
The cavalry of both sides fought fiercely. The Ming army rushed over with lightning speed, but the Qing army faced off in a hurry and retreated steadily. They were broken into dozens of large and small groups by the rout of the infantry. The defeat was determined.
Seeing that Qing troops were coming from the southeast for reinforcements, Wu Sangui would not let them reverse the situation by outflanking the enemy, so he immediately led his troops to meet the enemy.
It's Wu Sangui!
The big flag in the Ming army's formation was getting closer and closer, and the yellow flag was spread out in the wind. King Sanshun who came to help was surprised and happy. He was so surprised that the general came out of the city to fight in person. What was happy was that if he was captured,
Definitely the first achievement! (To be continued)
