Chapter 480
This patrol team also came here to listen to the gunfire. Their weapons and equipment were very complete, so they had a little bit of it for Zhang Guoji's men, and they could also complete a high-intensity battle.
According to the above requirements, each soldier must carry 120 rifle bullets, 60 pistol bullets, and two grenades.
If you have special requirements, you can also increase your carrying capacity.
The patrol teams are all from cavalry, so they can carry more bullets, twice as many as ordinary infantry, but the battle just now was very fierce and many people used up all their pistols and bullets.
You can also recommend it to the above when you go back, bring more pistol bullets. After all, when riding a horse, rifle bullets are not very useful.
"Ten people are a team, and start searching around slowly with the place where I am. If you find something, shoot immediately."
Zhang Guoji issued an order, and more than 100 Ming soldiers were divided into more than a dozen teams and began to search around. Those people would rather die than speak, which must be a problem.
The soldiers below quickly scattered, and they also wanted to figure out what was going on. They were about to enter the capital, but they must not have any conspiracies.
Less than half an hour passed, gunfire immediately sounded.
The retreat route is not far from them. If you are determined to find it, you will be able to find it soon. Although there are only more than 100 Ming soldiers, they are also very scared for these Qing people who fled.
Tens of thousands of Eight Banners cavalry were all solved by the Ming army, let alone ordinary people like them.
So after hearing the gunshots of Ming soldiers, some ordinary people accelerated to run into the mountains, while others ran directly into the city.
"Close the city gate quickly."
After hearing about what was happening outside, the general on the city wall immediately ordered his subordinates to close the gate. No one knew whether the Ming soldiers were mixed with these fleeing people.
If you really get into the capital, it will cause more chaos, so no matter how the people outside live or die, close the door first.
"Go back and report immediately, and say that we have found the route for the Qing people to retreat and send people to reinforce us immediately."
Zhang Guoji also knew that this matter was extraordinary, but it was only more than a hundred of them. If he wanted to keep this path, it would probably be unlikely.
Several soldiers immediately rushed back to the barracks, which was more than twenty miles away. If reinforcements came back, it would take at least one hour. During this time, Zhang Guoji and the others had to guard this place.
According to their ideas, the Qing people would definitely send troops to fight for control here, otherwise the Qing people would have no way to retreat, but they all waited for their reinforcements, and did not wait for the Qing soldiers.
"Didn't you say this is a retreat passage for the Qing people? Why are there no one?"
Zhang Guoji's boss was Company Commander Wang from the Infantry Company. After receiving the news, he immediately rushed over with more than 700 people under his command, but nothing happened here in Zhang Guoji.
"It's really not that I lied about military information. Otherwise, when the company commander went to ask these prisoners we caught, they were still nervously retreating here. Who knew that after we came, these guys gave up this path directly."
Zhang Guoji looked embarrassed and hurriedly pushed out some of the prisoners behind him to prove that they were not lying about military affairs.
More than 700 brothers came overnight. This was not a trivial matter. If they lied about military affairs, they might have to be punished.
After Company Commander Wang asked, it turned out that this was the retreat route for the Qing people, but for some reason, these Qing people gave up like this, and it seemed that they were not their style.
"Will they have other retreat routes?"
Corps Wang quickly thought of this. If this were the case, it would be normal for the Qing people to give up. Now their strength is not very good, so there is no need to have a conflict with the Ming army for such a path.
"We don't know about this, they probably don't know about it. I just sent someone to investigate. They were all ordinary people from the Qing court, but they just knew to follow these people into the mountains."
Zhang Guoji touched his head and said.
"It just so happens that the manpower is enough to set up warning points in nearby areas. Regardless of whether they have other routes or not, they must not let them continue to retreat."
Company Commander Wang quickly issued a mission. According to the information he had just obtained, at least more than 10,000 people had retreated in the past few days.
"They have a gathering point in the mountains. Should we send people into the mountains?"
Zhang Guoji said excitedly. For this guy, if he sent someone to the mountain, it would be an active attack. He and his brothers have been active nearby for many days. If he sent someone in, he would definitely give priority.
"You boy, don't think about this. Although we have many people, we are now siegeing the entire capital, and there are not many redundant people. If you search for such a large mountain, you know how many people you need, and our logistics cannot keep up. You should listen to the above orders first and must be killed by the hole."
Company Commander Wang is his old superior, so he naturally knows what this guy is thinking.
Although Hu Qiang has an army of 200,000, he is really not enough to see this number of people in the vast mountains in the north, so his current strategy is to block them all in the capital.
What's more, only more than 10,000 people went out, and there were not many important people.
Zhang Guoji stuck out his tongue and began to set up a guard post with his men. After dawn, three thousand cavalrymen came to reinforce. At that time, it would be unlikely that the Qing people would want to retreat under the moonlight.
Just as dawn was dawn, Dorgon also received the news.
The people below dared not speak out. At the original retreat speed, how could someone be discovered?
Now that there are so many people, and hunters are killed everywhere, the Ming army discovered that this is Dorgon's mistake, but now Dorgon is in power, no one dares to accuse this guy of his mistake in person.
"Continue to retreat tonight, use the second retreat route..."
