Chapter 74 of the Ming Dynasty, Volume 3, Oriole?

.Kuh, haha, haha." Tian Cheng's teeth trembled, "Your Majesty, go back."

"No prospect." Wang Fu glared at Tian Cheng, and he firmly opened his ears, but the crying just now was gone.

"Strange, did you really hear it wrong? But the crying statement just now clearly entered his ears. Could it be that there is a dark room underground?" Wang Fu stomped on the ground with his feet a few times, but he did not look empty below.

"You can also step on it a few times?" Wang Fu pointed to the guards who followed him.

The guards also realized that their martial arts skills were at least one in a hundred, so they would not be as timid as Tian Cheng. Yesterday, the emperor was in a hurry when he moved into the Jin Mansion. It was not impossible to have any secret room omissions. If someone hid in the secret room posed a threat to the emperor's safety, this would be a great event. Several guards did not dare to neglect them, and quickly stomped on the ground with their feet as the emperor. A guard who was over 20 years old and had a loyal face also laid his body on the ground and listened carefully to the movements underground.

"How is it?" Wang Fu asked with concern as he looked at the several conscientious guards.

"Go back to the emperor, no show." Several guards had a little embarrassed expression on their faces. The emperor said just now, of course they did not dare to misunderstand the emperor's ears, but they could not find them, which seemed a little incompetent.

"Your Majesty, I'll call someone again." After knowing that there might be a secret room, Tian Cheng's fear just now was gone, but instead aroused his great interest. Like the secret rooms of wealthy families often hide gold, silver and treasures. The eunuchs are often as persistent as the legendary dragons towards gold, silver and treasures. Although in this situation, they have no share in finding treasures, they still aroused his great interest.

Wang Fu thought for a while and waved his hand, "Forget it, let's go back, let's talk about it tomorrow, and I'll send two people to guard the garden tonight." After all, it's night, and it's really unnecessary to mobilize all the troops. Wang Fuqiang resisted his curiosity.

"Abide by the order." Several guards responded quickly.

Tian Cheng looked disappointed. His patience was not as good as the emperor. He tossed and turned that night and couldn't sleep. The next day, he got up with a dark circle. Wang Fu fell asleep and felt refreshed. Last night, there was no fire interrupting his sleep. But after using up morning and evening, the Ming army began to siege again. Wang Fu focused all his energy on the siege. He immediately forgot about the garden last night.

After a bloody battle yesterday, the Green Camp's offensive became more fierce. With the help of artillery, the city wall seemed in danger as soon as it attacked. Jirhalang had to take Goshha to the battle in person. Only then did the Ming army's offensive barely block the Ming army's offensive. The two sides fought inch by inch at the top of the city wall. The blood soon dyed the city wall red.

"Bang!" Gunshots came from the city. Blood splattered from the chest of a Qing army on the city. One end fell from the city.

The Yulin Guard was finally allowed to join the war. Wang Fu approved 200 special forces to mix among the Green Camp soldiers in the attacking area to shoot and kill the brave soldiers of the Qing army. This made the Qing army defending the city worse. Many elite Qing army soldiers died in vain. If Jierharang had not personally guarded the front line, the Qing army would have collapsed.

Just as the battle for the inner city of the capital was in full swing, the war on the grassland also began. Huang Degong, Yan Yingyuan, Li Benshen and Li Chengdong were in full swing out of the Great Wall. After joining the vanguard Li Yuanyin, he learned from Li Yuanyin that the Manchus had fled in different directions. The three of them divided their troops without hesitation. The army chased their respective targets.

At the beginning, the three teams advanced in unison like three arrows. However, the grassland was too big. There was no definite road. I could only chase the road along the Manchus' retreat. One day later, the three teams basically had no way to contact each other. However, neither Huang Degong nor Yan Yingyuan, Li Benshen, Li Chengdong and others were worried. Each team had an army of 40,000, including 20,000 Yulin Guards. Even if they met the main force of Dorgon, they were confident that they would defeat them.

On the grassland, what they are most worried about is not the ambush of the people, but about losing their way. Once they fall into a waterless land, even the most powerful army will collapse, and they will run away with the team that is lost.

Entering the grassland means that they can no longer transport supplies from the sea endlessly as before, and everything is carried with them. Each team is aiming to make a quick battle and decide. They divide their troops again, leaving half of them to travel slowly in the rear with their baggage teams, and the other half are only carrying dry food, moving forward at a speed of hundreds of miles a day.

This situation really worked. The next day after leaving the Great Wall, Li Benshen's team bit a main force of retreating Manchus. This manchus had more than 30,000 men, women, young and old. It was the last manchus to retreat. Most of them were the Zhenghuang Banners. The most powerful among the eight Manchus in the past, the Zhenghuang Banner was at its weakest moment. The strong soldiers and generals in the flag were exhausted, and the last cavalry force was still pulled out by Doer. More than 30,000 people in the clan could not even get out a thousand strong people. Seeing the Ming army catching up, Zhenghuang Banners looked desperate.

20,000 Ming army surrounded more than 30,000 Zhenghuang Banners' old and young people. Anyone knew that it could not be an opponent of the Ming army. If you want to save your life, you will only

One way, however, perhaps because of the glory of the Three Flags in the past, surrendered, and instead launched a suicide attack on the Ming army.

This battle made the Ming army weak. Countless old men, children over ten years old, young women rushed towards the Ming army with all kinds of weapons, kitchen knives, wooden sticks and other objects. The Yulin Guard kept firing and firing. The people began to fall down one after another when they were nearly a hundred steps away from the Yulin Guard. At their speed, they could not rush to the Yulin Guard. The nearest person was fifty or sixty steps away from the Yulin Guard, and even their bows and arrows were useless.

Layers of mankind fell in front of the Yulin Guard's position, and blood dyed the entire grassland red. Seeing these mankind and weak rushing towards them like moths to the fire, even though they knew that the other party was an old man from a different race, the Yulin Guard felt a little unbearable. Although the gunfire did not stop, they just sent people to surrender to them.

"Subdue, surrender and avoid death!"

"Kill, kill the dogs." The answer was the Manchus' even more crazy shouts. The Yulinwei was furious. Since Manchus was so ungrateful, don't blame himself for being ruthless. The Yulinwei who shot without hesitation, shot down batches of Manchus.

The massacre lasted for nearly an hour, and a total of more than 20,000 people fell under the guns of the Yulin Guard. Another 10,000 Ming cavalry was only responsible for pursuing the fleeing people and cleaning the battlefield. In the end, more than 30,000 Zhenghuang Banners were left with only more than 7,000 prisoners. These people were frightened by the bloody methods of the Yulin Guards and lost the courage to charge, and then survived.

After winning the first battle, Li Benshen was immediately happy along the way. They did not stop chasing. After throwing the prisoners to the team escorting the supplies behind, they continued to lead the team out. Li Chengdong, who was escorting the supplies, had his eyes red with envy. Unfortunately, when the two of them fought for whom they were escorting the supplies, Li Chengdong lost the bet. Although they were extremely envious, Li Chengdong still had to escort the food and grass.

In addition to Li Benshen's journey, Yan Yingyuan and Huang Degong also won the two routes. Since Tianjin was captured by the Ming army in two days, the Manren had only eight days before, and the last one was actually only five days away. Although Manren, who had children and daughters, had basically traveled with cattle, horses and vehicles, the one day was only thirty to forty miles. This speed could be said to be a huge speed for the Ming army in the past. However, now, due to the increase in food and abundant nutrition of soldiers, the Ming army can walk fifty miles a day even with baggage. The Ming army, which was even more terrible, could walk one hundred miles a day easily, and the Manren took five or six days first. The Ming army could catch up in just three days.

However, Yan Yingyuan and Huang De were not lucky. They did not catch up with Manren's main force, but were led by the bait left by Manren who was not good. After eating thousands of people's bait, the two of them were deceived and immediately corrected their route, but they had a distance from Manren's main force retreating.

A few days later, a team of black Manchu soldiers came to the place where the Zhenghuang Banner was destroyed. At this time, a stench of soaring into the sky covered the grassland for dozens of miles. The grass was full of corpses. In broad daylight, countless wild dogs and wolves wandered among them, eating one by one, and then they walked away lazily when they saw a large number of people coming.

The nations on the grassland will pursue the heavens and raise them. The bodies are rarely buried, because they will enter the belly of wild wolves and dogs within a few days. The Ming army was eager to chase the mangroves in front of them, so they naturally did not bury them. However, this time there were too many corpses. Even if the wild wolves and dogs around a hundred miles nearby came, they could not be dealt with in a short period of time, so the corpse naturally smelled.

Seeing such a scene of white bones filling the wild, even though the people were always cruel, their eyes turned red. Rolohong rode a horse to the front of Dore's horse: "The Emperor's Father Regent, these Ming troops are all devils. They even killed the elderly, weak, women and children. Look here, you can't wait any longer, let's kill them."

Luo Luohong was indignant when he accused the Ming army. He completely forgot how cruel they treated the Han people's massacre. Manchus attacked the inner city several times, and kept no man, woman, young and old. After Manchus, the cities they slaughtered became ghost towns. They used to take it for granted, but now it is their turn, but it is particularly unacceptable.

Doer] finally did not choose to attack Wang Fu's team. Although Wang Fu's strength was far weaker than the army sent to pursue the Manchus, at least on the surface, the number of people was similar, and hundreds of cannons were among them. As long as the scouts of the Qing army looked at them, they could see these cannons. On the other hand, although the pursuing Ming army was strong, they would definitely have to divide their troops. Then they could come to stalk the cicada with the oriole behind. However, it was obvious that Dorgon had misjudged the speed of the Ming army's advance. Before his oriole moved, the mantis had already caught the cicada.
