#1004 Xiangyang decisive battle (eight)

At this time, the Qing court was overwhelmed with the troops. The Huai Army marched north to the Central Plains, and the Zhongzhen Camp broke out from Ziwu Valley and headed straight for Xi'an; the Daxi Army marched out from Chencang and led its troops to northern Shaanxi. The Zhongzhen Camp and the Daxi Army shouted the slogan "Go back to their hometown" and launched a fierce attack on Shaanxi. However, Wu Sangui did not obey the court's orders at all, and did not return to the army to suppress the bandits, but went west to expedition and had already escaped from the control of the Qing court.

In the north, there was Jiang Yuan in Datong who opposed the Qing Dynasty, Chen Du, and Zhang Douguang raised the flag of the uprising to conquer Zezhou (now Jincheng). In the south of Jin, there were Yu Yin, Han Zhaoxuan, and Li Qisheng raised the flag of the uprising to fight against the Qing Dynasty; in the east of the Central Plains, there were Caozhou (now Heze), Puzhou, Dingtao, Chengwu (now Chengwu), and other places, as well as Yuyuan Army Uprising.

For a moment, the Qing Dynasty was surrounded by enemies, and the officials of the former Ming Dynasty in the capital were all in panic all day long. They were all traitors, and many of them surrendered to Li Zicheng first and then to the three ministers of the Qing Dynasty. They knew that once Hong Chengchou was defeated, the Qing Dynasty would be over. When the Qing Dynasty was over, their doomsday would come.

In the Forbidden City, the little emperor Fulin cried so hard that the pear blossoms were raining.

"I want to go back outside the pass, and outside the pass is the birthplace of our Qing Dynasty! The capital cannot be defended at all!" Fulin cried and made a fuss to go back outside the pass.

Empress Dowager Zhuang Bumubutai accused him angrily: "You have the best chance! Since Taizu of the Qing Dynasty raised his army, after three generations of efforts, I finally took charge of the Central Plains. When you come to your hands, it will be ruined! If you believe that Grand Secretary Hong will definitely defeat the barbarians and the thieves! The Ai family has told you many times, saying that the Regent has made great contributions to the Qing Dynasty. Without the Regent, the Qing Dynasty will be in danger! You just don't listen! Now, how do you see?"

Only then did Fulin remember the benefits of Ye Dad. After the Ye Dad was gone, the Qing Dynasty was in danger now. Although Ye Dad suppressed the mother and son, with Ye Dad, Gru's forces dared not act rashly.

At this time, an even more shocking news came: "Emperor! Your Majesty! The big thing is wrong! Outside the pass, Subude outside the pass also rebelled!"

"Subud rebelled? Why did he rebell? I, the Qing Dynasty, treat him well!" Fulin asked in horror.

"Emperor, Subud said, "Your Majesty, you are unfaithful and unfilial. He has taken the banner of avenging the Regent! Most of the Eight Banners Army outside the Pass have rebelled!" The eunuch cried and cried.

"Eight Banners Army? The Eight Banners outside the Pass are all our Manchurian Banners. How could they rebel?" Fulin asked.

The eunuch said angrily: "Your Majesty, Su Bude has a great reputation outside the pass. He has defeated the Rakshasa people many times, and he listened to him when he gave birth to the Jurchens! This thief has long been secretly colluding with the Ming Dynasty! The Eight Banners outside the pass only know that Su Bude has, but he doesn't know that I, the Qing Dynasty! Now that he is against the Ming Dynasty and the Northern Expedition, Su Bude takes advantage of the situation to rob him!"

Bumubute sighed: "If the Regent was still there, how could Subud dare to rebel? Now, the Regent's death has become an excuse for Subud to rebel!"

"My mother, what should we do now? You can't go outside the pass, and the only way to go is to go north to the outer vassal and Mongolia." Fulin thought that he was about to prepare to go to the north of Mobei to eat sand, and cried again.

Outside the pass, Subud led a Qing army to Qingjun side with the banner of "avenging the regent", and rushed from Miaojie at the mouth of the sea in Heilongjiang to Ningguta.

Although Subude's army was dressed in the Eight Banners Army, it was essentially the Ming army. They were equipped with a large number of advanced flintlock rifles and elite scattered soldiers. The rest of the long-range troops were crossbowmen, carrying a large number of field artillery, and sent troops from Temple Street to Ningguta along the south bank of the Heilongjiang River.

The Qing generals stationed in Ningguta, Suihana and his son Sabusu, did not resist much and soon surrendered, and all the Eight Banners Army in Ningguta surrendered.

The Qing court was truly trapped in a siege. In fact, the foreign vassal Mongolia in the north of the desert had already become unstable. Whether Fulin could escape the only way to escape was still a question. In fact, even if he couldn't escape, Li Guodong didn't need to kill him. He would give him a duke or a dumb and wait for him to win people's hearts.

In fact, whether it is Duke De or Duke Duke who is dumb, this kind of title is indeed very suitable for Fulin. This kid did not do anything serious in his original time and space.

In Xinye, Nanyang, Cao Bianjiao and Wang Fuchen led the cavalry of the Huai Army and were attacking Yuzhou.

Yuzhou is a must-pass place for the Qing army to move south. As long as this city is captured, the Qing army will be blocked.

Although the Huai Army was all cavalry, the cavalry artillery could also provide firepower assistance to the siege army. Moreover, after Cao Bianjiao and Wang Fuchen arrived in Yuzhou, they defeated the local tyrants and distributed the land, liberating a large number of tenants.

The tenants who turned over joined the army enthusiastically, so this cavalry unit, which originally had only 25,000 people, quickly expanded into an army of more than 100,000 infantry. Although the infantry were cannon fodder, they only had simple weapons such as wooden spears and bamboo guns. At most, they obtained some bird guns, tiger squat cannons, big knives, long spears and other weapons. These weapons were also the Qing army weapons seized by the Huai Army, but these infantry were important forces used to attack the city.

The Huai Army began to attack the city, with the sound of cannons rumbling. More than 100 three-pound field artillery of the cavalry artillery made a deafening roar. The whistling shells hit the city like hail. The female wall shattered, and the entire city wall was shaking.

On the battlefield, war drums rumbled. At the same time as the shelling began, the cannon fodders pushed simple shield chariots, carried simple siege equipment, and shouted and launched a fierce attack on the city wall.

The ones stationed in Yuzhou City were not the regular Qing army, but the Qing army's regiments practiced bravery, with about 10,000 people.

Although the cavalry did not directly participate in the siege, the scattered soldiers among the dragon cavalry were the best fire protection units. The scattered soldiers boarded the chariot, and pushed the chariot by the cannon fodder, approaching about a hundred steps away from the city wall, and used rifled rifles to shoot fiercely at the Qing army at the top of the city, almost killing the gun.

All ordinary dragoons were dismounted, and they followed behind the shield formation and approached the city wall. When the cannon fodders began to tensely fill the moat, these dragoons hid behind the shield of the shield and fired violently at the top of the city with flintlock rifles.

The flintlock smoothbore rifle is not very accurate, but it still has relatively high accuracy when shooting targets within thirty steps. Moreover, it is a volley of multiple flintlock rifles, which can form fierce firepower.

The Qing army on the top of the city was suppressed by the fierce firepower of the Huai army and could not show its head at all. As soon as it was exposed, its life would be taken away by bullets from the city and the carriage from the tower.

The water from the moat was drawn from the Baihe River 30 miles away, and the canal was blocked by the Huai Army's cannon fodder team. When the Huai Army's cannon fodder began to fill the moat, you could see that the moat disappeared quickly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Kill!" When a section of moat was filled, the cannon fodders shouted, carried the simple cloud ladder and rushed through the filled moat, quickly put the simple cloud ladder on the city wall, and began to climb up to the top of the city without hesitation.

These tenants were not good people. Many of them were used to fight for the rebel army in their early years and became refugees for a period of time. Later, the rebel army was defeated and fled back to their hometowns and became farmers again. These farmers hated the gentry hiding in Yuzhou City, and wanted to break into the city and kill all the gentry, so as not to bring them back with the return group and the change of days, and then steal the land they had just assigned.

Lian Yong, who was on the front of the city, braved the fierce firepower of the Huai Army under the city, constantly smashed the wooden rocks, lime bottles, and turbulent oil tanks, killing the cannon fodder under the city. Many Lian Yongs just smashed the turbulent oil tanks or shot arrows, and were shot dead by the Huai Army.

The cannon fodders rushed to the city one after another, and under the cover of the fierce firepower of the Huai army, they desperately crawled towards the city.

Finally, the first cannon fodder young and strong climbed up to the top of the city. He held a simple wooden shield to block the knife that was cut, and blocked the two spears that were stabbed at the same time, but one spear still pierced the waist.
