Chapter 352 Recover Tianjin
Under the impact of the collision car, the gate of Tianjin opened and countless Ming troops rushed into the city. At the same time, the Ming army, who were pushing the carriage to the city, also exploded a gap in the city wall, and a large number of Ming troops rushed in from the gap.
The Ming army climbed up to the city gate and rushed straight to the city gate, destroying the Qing army on the wall city, ensuring the safety of the Ming army entering through the city gate.
Luo Zuochang, the son of former Tianjin Governor Luo Yangxing, sat in the hall, listening to the report of his soldiers with a gloomy face.
"Master of Taiwan, all the bannermen and green camp in the city have run away, and only more than two thousand brothers are left." A confidant hurriedly broke into the hall, knelt on the ground and beat a thousand, reporting to Luo Zuochang.
A general walked in and knelt on the ground and beat him up: "Master of the Taiwan Strait, the gentry and shameless people around him, no one is willing to guarantee my Tianjin comfort. The group training and other things have already run away."
"Master Taiwan Master, what should we do?" asked a Qing army military officer wearing the Qianzong official uniform.
"We can only fight with Minggou to the end. We have no way out!" Luo Zuochang stood up and made a decision.
Anyone can run away, but Luo Zuochang cannot run away because he is the governor of Tianjin. Once he runs away, even if he escapes back to the capital, the Qing court will chop off his head. You must know that the Qing Dynasty was very harsh on the crime of losing land. If the local governor loses the governor's location, the governor loses the provincial capital, and the prefect loses the city, it will be a death penalty.
Surrender to the Ming army? Anyone can surrender, but Luo Zuochang cannot surrender because his father was Luo Yangxing, the son of the former commander of the Ming Dynasty Jinyiwei. Luo Yangxing first surrendered to the thief and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. Luo Yangxing surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, causing huge losses to the Jinyiwei, resulting in almost all the Jinyiwei in the north being beaten by the Qing Dynasty.
The Jinyiwei remembered Luo Yangxing. Although Luo Yangxing died of illness two years ago, Luo Zuochang inherited his father's official position. Since his son inherited his father's inheritance, he had to inherit the debt owed by his father. This is called the father's debt and the son paying it back.
"Marty, there are no people in the city, except Jiannu, but a merchant." A local Jinyiwei reported to Zhao Peng, who was sitting in the central army's tent.
At that time, Tianjin City was originally a military town, and there were not many people in the city. When the Ming army came over, and when Tianjin was about to fight, the people in the city were basically gone. The remaining few people were some big businessmen, and they couldn't escape because their family business was here.
Zhao Peng's new army was not bloodthirsty, and the captive bannermen on the battlefield lived well. Even if they were handed over from Wu Sangui to Li Dingguo, they were transferred by Li Dingguo, and a group of deadly members of the Pingxi King's Army, such as Ai Xinga, who was transferred by Li Dingguo, Zhao Peng did not kill them, but just threw them to work at Qiongzhou Iron Mine.
But today, Zhao Peng decided to start a massacre. Most of the remaining Green Camp soldiers in Tianjin were the former Ming Dynasty Jinyiwei or their children. It can be said that these people were traitors of Jinyiwei.
The Jinyiwei was not ruthless in punishing the traitors. Luo Zuochang and the Green Camp soldiers in the city knew very well. They knew that there was a way out for others to surrender, but they would never surrender.
The more than 2,000 remaining green camp soldiers in the city were all a group of guys with high martial arts skills. In terms of personal combat power, the people of the original Jinyiwei were not weak. Therefore, Luo Zuochang wanted to use these elite soldiers to fight street battles with the Ming army and consume the power of the Ming army as much as possible.
After a group of 300 Ming troops rushed into the city, only a row of shouts sounded in front of him. Three hundred Qing soldiers in the Green Camp holding swords and guns shouted and rushed towards the Ming army.
The number of people on both sides is equivalent. The previous fire rate of guns was installed. If it was a hard-press, it would only take one round of fire and others would rush in front of them. Although one round of shooting could knock down half of the opponent, the Green Camp soldiers on the opposite side were all the original Jinyiwei. As long as one hundred people approached the new army, three hundred new army would definitely not be enough for them to kill.
The Ming army officer who led the team shouted: "Three rows of round shots, the first row shot! After the shooting is completed, the return to load!"
"Bang bang bang" The first row of 100 new soldiers picked up flintlock rifles and pulled the trigger. The flames splashed, and white smoke filled the air. More than 300 green camp soldiers rushed over and fell down more than 20 people.
After the first row of Ming troops finished shooting, they immediately retreated to the end and began to load bullets nervously. The second row of Ming troops fired, and another row of deafening gunfire sounds, and more than 20 people fell from the Green Camp soldiers rushing over from the opposite side.
By the time the third row of Ming troops were shooting, the Green Camp soldiers had already rushed to within twenty steps. At such a close range, one row of shooting knocked down more than forty Green Camp soldiers on the spot.
Originally, the Qing army was about to rush forward, but was fired by the third platoon of Ming army. The Ming army retreated while shooting, which led to the distance between the two sides being widened again. After the third platoon of Ming army finished shooting, they immediately retreated and loaded bullets. At this time, the Ming army, which had just shot in the first platoon, had already loaded up. The new army soldiers picked up flintlock rifles and aimed at the rushing green camp soldiers and pulled the trigger.
"Bang bang bang" another row of gunfire, and more than 40 people fell down the Green Camp soldiers under the muzzle. After firing the bullets, the Ming army quickly retreated, followed by another row of gunfire.
The gunshots followed one after another, and they didn't stop for a second. The Green Camp soldiers rushing over the ground were like a peeled onion. From the front, they fell down one by one. In just one and a half minutes, all three hundred Green Camp soldiers fell in pools of blood, and they didn't even touch the corners of the Ming army's clothes.
These Qing soldiers in the Green Camp were once the elite Jinyiwei in the capital of the Ming Dynasty. They were very skilled in martial arts and were all extraordinary. As long as they were approached by them, the Ming army would lose at least five or six people. But today, these guys with high martial arts were useless. In just one and a half minutes, they all turned into corpses twitching in a pool of blood.
But Luo Zuochang was not a fool. He also changed his tactics and no longer allowed the Green Camp soldiers to forcibly rush the Ming army's formation, but instead lie in the houses. When the Ming army passed by the street, the martial arts masters suddenly jumped down from the building and stabbed the gun with a knife, causing considerable losses to the new army.
After receiving the battle report, Zhao Peng ordered the light cavalry to dismount and enter the city, follow the infantry phalanx, and protect the infantry at close range.
The light cavalry loaded the revolver, and each light cavalry carried two guns and entered the city in the formation of infantry. When they entered the city, Luo Zuochang was replaying the same trick again. At this time, this move of the Qing army was not effective.
"Bang bang bang" revolver spewed out flames and named the Qing soldiers of the Green Camp one by one at close range.
A pistol that can be shot continuously is the best weapon to deal with hand-to-hand combat. No matter what martial arts master you are, you will have to stop when you encounter a pistol. A 300-man new army infantry phalanx, as long as ten light cavalry carrying revolvers are mixed in, you can easily clear all obstacles.
The special forces also entered the city and participated in the battle to encircle and suppress the remaining Qing troops in the city. The martial arts of these Jinyiwei Special Forces players were comparable to those of the Green Camp soldiers adapted from the original Jinyiwei, but they were far better than their opponents in terms of weapons. The special forces players also had two revolvers every day, and there were thunderstorms on their bodies.
The Jinyiwei Special Forces flew over the eaves and walls, shuttled through the eaves, between houses and alleys, and used revolvers and thunder to kill the Qing army they discovered.
