Chapter 392 Swept the northwest of Shanxi
The army was strict at this time, and the seventeen ban laws were 54, and they would have to be in the head at any time. Not only soldiers, but also the generals who led the troops were carrying huge burdens, for fear of any omissions.
Fuchanka was the chief general appointed by Dorgon himself to guard Datong. As one of the nine major towns on the Ming Dynasty, Datong's defense was far superior to most cities. Fuchanka was not worried about any problems with Datong, and his heart was all in Taiyuan. I heard that the war was getting more and more tense, and I don't know if the Regent would transfer himself to join the war!
Although there was no news, Fuchankar still tried his best to join hands with Gent and Du Min, constantly inspect the army, strengthened his vigilance, and was ready to go to war at any time.
However, tigers also took a nap. Just a few days ago, their subordinates saw that Fu Chanka was too weak, so they offered two young men to him. The Ming Dynasty's men's style was very strong, and the army was even more severely affected. This trend inevitably hit the Qing army.
These two teenagers were trained since childhood. They were only fourteen or fifteen years old, and they were delicate and shy, especially women. They also had beautiful facial features and were more delicate than girls. Fu Chanka fell immediately.
After several days and nights, the two teenagers also followed each other during the day.
This day was still the same. Fuchanka and the two babies drank until midnight before laying down to rest. I don’t know how long I had been sleeping, but suddenly I heard a raucous sound outside, and people shouted and neighed. Then there were sounds of cannons.
Fu Chanka suddenly woke up in his sleep. He was wearing a single dress and carrying a knife and rushed outside.
As soon as I came out, I saw the fire from the north gate soaring into the sky, and the red light enveloped half of the sky. I don’t know how many cannons were constantly bombarding the city wall.
When Fu Chanka saw this, his eyes widened.
"Quick, I've led my war horse!"
In a hurry, Fu Chanka only summoned two or three hundred people, more than half of them were disheveled. They hurried to the north gate.
At this time, there was already chaos outside the city. Li Xu and Yue Polu personally supervised the team and launched a fierce attack on Datong.
One by one, the shells hit the city wall and fell into the city, blew the houses into pieces, and the flames flew into the air, and more and more buildings were shrouded in flames.
The people and soldiers in the city were in a hurry to put out the fire, but there was no organization. Their efforts were useless, and the fire was getting bigger and bigger.
Fu Chanka's eyes were so bitter that he held a machete in his hand and shouted to everyone: "Listen, leave half of them to put out the fire, and the rest follow me to the city. If Datong is lost, no one can live!"
With the backbone, these people were a little better, and under the command of Fuchanka, they rushed to the top of the city.
At this time, there were shouts of killing everywhere outside, and there were figures everywhere. Countless Anguo troops were coming to the city wall under the starlight.
"Come on, throw the wooden rocks and don't let them come up!"
Seeing that the Anguo army was about to approach the city wall, it was thrown around and it looked very lively, but there was almost no killing, all of the Anguo army retreated back.
Yue Polu held up a telescope and carefully observed the situation at the city. In fact, the An Guojun had long abandoned the outdated practice of ants attacking the city. They all had feinted attacks in the early stages to spy on the reality of the city.
After looking around, Yue Polu had already discovered it. It was just a section near the west side of the North City, with the strongest defense force and the most troops on the top of the city.
"You all listen, aim here and beat me hard!"
With a command, all the artillery of An Guojun and the improved Divine Fire Flying Crow aimed at the top of the city.
"Shoot (release)!"
Accompanied by the order, more than a dozen shells, and the white divine fire flying crow, roared towards the top of the city!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The smoke of gunpowder flooded the city. The flowering bomb exploded countless pieces. The improved Divine Fire Crow has a longer range and greater power.
Fu Chanka came in a hurry and did not wear any armor at all. After going to the city, although he temporarily wore a layer of cotton armor, it did not work.
The shrapnel flew across, and Fuchankar was in the center of the explosion. He heard the sound and felt something was wrong and wanted to escape, but it was too late. Two divine fire crows fell behind him. After the explosion, more than a dozen shrapnel hit Fuchankar's back, and he fell more than two feet away, falling from the steps of the city wall, which was more than ten feet high.
After landing on the ground, Fu Chanka opened his mouth, and blood vomited out, accompanied by blood, and there were two front teeth inside!
"ah!"
The sound of slaughtering pigs frightened the servants of Fuchanka. They hurried over and helped Fuchanka up from the ground with all their might. His back had been beaten into a hornet's nest, fuzzy with flesh and blood.
Compared to Fuchanka, the others were even more miserable, hundreds of people, all of whom were shrouded in the smoke of explosions. Some were directly killed, and countless people were missing and broken legs howled in pain.
In short, under this round of attack, there were almost no living people on the city wall, and the only four cannons were blown away.
The Anguo army is not a vegetarian. The enemy had loopholes, so they would not let it go. Suddenly, the soldiers carried the ladder and rushed up. They followed the gap in the city wall, set up the ladder and quickly climbed up.
When they climbed to the top of the city, the Tartars saw countless Anguo troops through the smoke of gunpowder, and they woke up from the shock. The Tartars sported swords and rushed towards the Anguo troops.
What awaited them was a wave of gunfire. The narrow city walls had no place to hide. The Tartars fell one by one, and their bodies piled up on the ground, layer by layer.
The Anguo Army continued to expand the occupied area, and Luo Xiaoyu led a squadron to rush up. The grenades were almost the same as ordinary musketeers. The most special thing was that they were tall and long and had great strength. Each of them had ten grenades.
After going to the city, they shook their arms and threw grenades one by one on the Tartars. In the dense crowd, the bullets exploded, and no one could avoid them. Almost every grenade could kill two or three Tartars.
To be honest, casualties are still small matters, but seeing these Anguo troops seem to be like heavenly soldiers calling the wind and rain and sending grenades, the Tartars trembled from their hearts.
After throwing the grenade, Luo Xiaoyu raised his bayonet without regard for his sore arms and rushed towards the Tartars. Looking at the gang of ferocious evil spirits, the Tartars' legs became weak and almost turned around and was about to escape.
The battle between hand-to-hand combat is courage. The Tartars were cowardly before they fought, and Luo Xiaoyu tried hard to face the Tartars.
Puff!
He stabbed into his stomach with one knife, and with both hands, the triangular pricks turned into the Tartar's belly. Suddenly, a huge wound and blood gushed. The Tartar's eyelids flipped and fell down softly.
Victory victory was achieved on the top of the city, and even soldiers rushed towards the city wall and opened the city gate. Li Xu immediately commanded his troops and rushed in.
From launching an attack to entering the city, less than an hour later, there was still chaos in Datong. Many of the Tartars who had just risen, and for some unknown reason, were chopped down to the ground by the An Guojun rushing towards him.
Under the protection of his servants, Fuchanka hurriedly retreated to the General Mansion of Datong. An Guojun rushed to chase after him. He had just fallen out of internal injuries and was chased tightly again, and vomited blood on the back of the horse. He didn't run far away, but fell under the horse.
The slaves wanted to rescue, but they happened to meet the cavalry led by Yue Polu. After a series of charge, the slaves were killed and injured, and Fu Chanka's head was cut off.
When the sky gradually became brighter, the shouts and killings in Datong City became weaker and weaker. Countless people risked their lives to poke their heads and observe the situation outside. They suddenly discovered that the once mighty Tartars disappeared, and replaced by a group of soldiers with strict military appearance and mighty power.
The Ming Dynasty is back!
The Ming Dynasty is back!
The people shouted, shouted, and laughed, tears flowed down the corners of their eyes, flowing into deep wrinkles, and wept with joy.
Compared with these people, Gu Zhenhua, who is far away in Henan, is paying more and more attention to the situation in Datong.
Since receiving Geng Zhongming's letter of help, Gu Zhenhua has been repeatedly considering whether to rescue him. After repeated weighing, Gu Zhenhua decided not to let Dorgon kill Geng Zhongming.
However, Gu Zhenhua was unwilling to devote his main energy to Taiyuan. After all, even if he wins in a field battle with the Tartars, he will still win miserably, and will affect the real decisive battle between the Anguo army and the Tartars.
Gu Zhenhua and Wu Kaijie discussed for a long time before finally choosing a preferential attack line, which is to attack Datong!
The geographical location of Datong is extremely important. It can threaten the capital by going north, and it can also encircle the Taiyuan Tatars' retreat to attack and retreat, and be at ease when going south.
Moreover, after occupying Datong, the Anguo Army's layout in Shanxi was basically completed. The three routes in the north, central and southern regions were all dominated by the Anguo Army, and the initiative in the war also fell into the hands of the Anguo Army.
Of course, huge benefits also mean amazing risks. If you attack from northern Shaanxi and thousands of miles along the way, if the Tartars notice it in advance and launch a siege, tens of thousands of soldiers would be in danger of their lives, and Gu Zhenhua also bears a heavy burden on his shoulders. Therefore, he allowed Li Xu, who was a veteran and experienced, to lead the troops.
Just as Gu Zhenhua was waiting anxiously, Wu Kaijie ran in with a smile.
"Prince, great joy, great joy!"
"Is it Datong?"
"That's right, General Li is indeed powerful. They attacked Datong at night, easily seized Guancheng, and wiped out more than 3,000 Tartars, but their own casualties were less than 400. They defeated the more with fewer and showed the majesty of the Anguo Army!"
Gu Zhenhua finally smiled and said with a smile: "Okay, it's really good to fight. Pass my orders to continue to expand the results of the battle and strive to take the entire northern Jin Dynasty in his hands."
"Prince, don't worry. If I don't think so, they will do this too!"
Wu Kaijie said it was right at all. After taking Datong, Yue Polu immediately led the cavalry as the pioneer, like a whirlwind, sweeping across the important towns around Datong.
"Listen to the Tartars on the city wall, this is Fuchanka's head. Give you a stick of incense. If you dare to resist stubbornly, you will be dead!"
Just as the incense was almost burning, the Yingzhou city gate slowly opened, and the officials inside slowly walked out with white flags!
Chapter completed!
