Chapter three hundred and seventy fourth broken city
Yang Zhi looked at Linqing City, which had completely fallen into the hands of the Qing army, and couldn't help but happily handed the watermelon in his hand to Fan Wei, the trainee military advisor next to him: "After this battle, the young master's reputation has shaken the entire Qilu land."
"A reputation for prestige is not as good as the name for benevolence and righteousness,"
Fan Wei took the watermelon and clicked it a few times like a chicken pecking at rice. He threw the cleanly chewed rind on the ground, wiped his mouth with his sleeve and said, "Next, I will tell you how to protect Linqing."
People, the deeds of loving people like children are infinitely magnified and spread everywhere
Not only the people in Shandong need to know your benevolence and righteousness, but also the people in Tianjin, Henan, Zhili and even the whole world must know your benevolence and righteousness. In this way, if you want to do something in the future, you will get twice the result with half the effort."
"Um."
Yang Zhi nodded and hummed: "It's best to spread the words of the emperor's imperial edict to the young master. If you don't resist, you will obey. This will force everyone in the world to become rebels."
In the city.
After confirming that Wang Lun was in the Wang family's mansion, Jia Liu immediately mobilized Mongolian soldiers to assist in the battle. At the same time, Marshal Wang Jinglong and others of the Ever Victorious Army knew that the leader was surrounded, so they desperately led their troops to rescue him.
The two sides started a bloody battle near the Wang family mansion.
Wang Lun's adopted son Yang Pei was captured and confessed that Wang Lun, his wife, two brothers and other core members were indeed trapped in the Wang family compound.
At this time, a sudden heavy rain made the Qing army's guns wet and their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced.
The Qingshui church members resisted fiercely, and the Qing army failed to break into the Wang family mansion even after attacking twice.
After receiving the report, Jia Liu, in order to prevent Wang Lun from taking the opportunity to escape, ignored the dissuasion of his subordinates and personally led his troops to sit outside the Wang family's mansion to take command. At the same time, he ordered all ministries to search the city carefully, including cellars and ditches.
If Qingshui members are found, they will be asked to surrender first, and those who refuse will be killed later.
The more than 400-member Detachment of Women in the Ever-Victorious Army fought hand-to-hand with the Qing army at the Zhizhou Yamen of Linqing. These female soldiers who were born as entertainers were more determined to fight than men.
Someone who used a slingshot fired without missing a beat and killed several Qing soldiers in a row.
There were those who used Hongying's spears. When the big spears came, the Qing soldiers couldn't hide. They were either stabbed in the chest or driven into the wall.
After learning about this, Wan Chaoxing, the commander-in-chief of Zhili, couldn't help but lead his troops to hunt and kill him personally. As a result, when he got closer for a closer look, he accidentally hit his right eye with a slingshot from the Detachment of Women on the roof. The pain made Wan Chaoxing furious and ordered someone to find him.
Bring some kerosene and set a fire.
By this time, the rain had subsided, and although the fire had not been lit, it was producing a lot of thick smoke. The Detachment of Women trapped in the Yamen could not rely on the wall to resist the enemy, so they had to retreat back.
Only then did the Qing army break through the gate and use their numerical superiority to repel the counterattack of the Detachment of Women.
Many female soldiers of the Detachment of Women knew that the situation was over and did not want to be insulted by the Qing army. They either chose to fight the Qing army to the end or committed suicide one after another.
In order to vent his anger, Wan Chaoxing actually had dozens of surviving female soldiers of the Detachment of Women take off their clothes and pierce their bodies from below with spears, calling them "skewers."
Many dead Detachment of Women soldiers were also chopped into meat paste with knives.
With the continuous victory of the Qing army, those in the victorious army finally began to surrender. Jia Liuzhuan ordered that these people should not be killed until it was determined after the war whether they were the main culprits before they were dealt with.
Seeing that it was getting dark, Jia Liu ordered another attack on the Wang family mansion.
The victorious army on the periphery has basically been eliminated. Although there are still hundreds of Qingshui Sect backbone members in the completely isolated Wang family mansion, it is difficult to save the overall situation.
Deb personally led Chang Wei's army to break through the gate, and the Qing army quickly rushed in, killing everyone on sight.
Wang Lun, who had no hope of escaping, stood on the five-story building and looked at Prime Minister Qing Yao who arrived downstairs surrounded by soldiers. There was no trace of fear on Wang Lun's face. Instead, he calmly said to the people below: "I will raise an army to destroy him."
The Qing Dynasty killed Hu because of God's will. Today's failure was due to my stupidity, which caused the church members to be slaughtered by you Qing dogs. That's it. The matter has come to this, and I have nothing to say. It's a big deal."
After that, he ordered people to light the kerosene and dry firewood that had been prepared long ago.
In an instant, a fire broke out.
There are always people falling on fire upstairs.
Jia Liu just watched quietly from below and never ordered anyone to put out the fire and capture Wang Lun alive.
Because, rescuing Wang Lun would only mean that he would suffer the crime of being cut into pieces by a thousand cuts.
There is no need to harm others when there are dead ears on either side.
"Sir, what should I do with these thieves!"
Deb came over with a group of prisoners.
Most of the prisoners were injured, including the bandit marshals Wang Jinglong, Meng Can, Wu Qinglin, Wang Lun's disciple Wang Pu, grandnephew Wang Junai, Xuan Li Wangju and others.
Wu Sanniang, who was dressed in red, was among the prisoners. However, this female general was shot several times and her body was soaked with blood.
She was shot with a musket while leading people to kill Qing troops on the roof.
"Do you want to persuade him to surrender?"
Deb asked in a low voice. He believed that the backbone of these ever-victorious troops could still fight. If they were willing to surrender, they could be secretly brought to Huguang to continue causing trouble for Qingyao.
Jia Liu shook his head, because this operation was not realistic at all, and he could not cover the sky in Linqing City with one hand.
When he came to the prisoners and looked at the backbones of the Qingshui Sect who were full of hatred in their eyes, he sighed slightly and then said: "I will not persuade you to surrender. Even if you are willing to surrender, you have committed such a big thing.
Ling Chi must have met his fate. Since you have never killed people randomly since you started the rebellion, I will give you a happy ending."
After saying that, he put his hands behind his back and turned to leave.
A moment later, a burst of gunfire rang out from behind.
I took a step forward and never looked back.
Thousands of miles away, the Xinghan Army had already conquered Jingzhou and was attacking the entire city of Jingzhou.
Under the supervision of the Xinghan Army, the surrendered hundreds of green soldiers carried ladders and rushed towards the walls of the city.
"Fire the arrow!"
The Manchu soldiers on the city knew that the time had come to decide the life and death of the city. They shouted and fired arrows at the bottom of the city. The Xinghan army watching the battle in the distance could clearly see that many of these Manchu soldiers were old men with gray hair.
"Fire and kill these Tatars!"
The young general of the Xinghan Army, Gu An, who once drove thousands of Huguang Green Camp troops around with dozens of men, shouted excitedly.
Later he found out that the Qing army commander whom he had driven away like a lost dog was his uncle who was named Baturu by the Tatar Emperor.
Dozens of cannons captured from the Qing army were constantly bombarding the walls of the city. Heavy cannonballs landed on the walls and kept flying and bouncing, taking away the lives of Manchu soldiers one after another.
A fifteen or sixteen-year-old Manchurian soldier was hit directly by an iron bullet that fell from mid-air because he was unable to evade it. His left leg was cut off to the knee on the spot, and a bloody mass of white bones was exposed at the fracture. It was so painful.
The Manchu boy who was brought to the city by Amma just yesterday was wailing.
Not far away, his Ama's body had already become extremely stiff.
The sound of cannons that resounded all over the city made the Manchu women in the city tremble with fear, but the ignorant children thought it was the New Year, and jumped happily and wanted to rush out of the house to watch the fireworks, but the ladies were stubborn.
Hug them, let them struggle no matter how much they struggle, and don't let them get out no matter how much trouble they make.
The girls' eyes were even more filled with fear.
The adults know what will happen if the whole city is attacked.
