Chapter 99

Accompanied by a violent explosion.The gate of the palace goes straight to the sky.Lu Xiao stood not far away, pulled out the long knife in his hand, and pointed a finger far away.

"Kill everything that moves. Burn everything that's taller than me."

The inner city desperately defended.But Lu Xiao and others appeared too suddenly, and they were fully prepared.The soldiers in the closing city lacked effective command and fought each other independently.He was directly killed by Lu Xiao's men.It quickly collapsed.

Instead of chasing and killing those soldiers, Lu Xiao set his sights on the entire inner city.The first is the Royal Palace, where none of the royal family members remain.This is not an uncommon occurrence.In those days, Huo Qubing also did it to the Huns.

Then there was the entire inner city. They used the kerosene they brought with them and the kerosene they looted from the city to start unscrupulously setting fires.The fire soon began to spread.And then out of control.

The point is, the Tartars can't put out the fire.The entire city's defenders have completely collapsed.In fact, there are not a lot of them left, there are several thousand.But the entire chain of command was destroyed, and they had to fight on their own.

And Lu Xiao's army concentrated on encircling and suppressing them one by one.Everyone was busy running for their lives, and no one cared about the spread of the flames.Until the end, the flames were completely out of control.

At this time, Lu Xiao and other talents withdrew from Hetuala.

The soaring flames even overwhelmed the sunlight in the sky, shrouding the entire city, as well as the surrounding area, under the firelight.

Lu Xiao looked around, looking at the surrounding villages and farmland.Indifferently gave an order.

"continue."

Huang Taiji's journey to the south was not smooth.The first is that He He Libing was defeated and died.It was something he didn't expect to say.The general who had been fighting for Houjin since his father was killed by a gravel.

Then there was a deep sense of helplessness.Because of the loss of thousands of elite cavalry.His troops were much less mobile.And he noticed a very nasty problem.That is, this time, the resistance of the Ming army was much more resolute than that in the battle of Sarhu.

What he didn't know was that this time after Lu Xiao ransacked his house.Chongzhen has money now.In addition, Lu Xiao recommended a few generals for the main battle.With a big wave of Chongzhen's hand, the Ming army was not without an army that could fight when the army was well paid.

After the battle for about a month, Huang Taiji went down to many cities.But the price paid is far beyond imagination.He expected that wherever the army went, the scene of the Ming army's asshole collapse did not appear at all.

And the Ming army's scorched earth policy continued.Their guard and court, this time became as bloody as hell.In spite of the birth of countless refugees, the granaries of a large number of occupied towns were still forcibly burned.This seriously hindered Huang Taiji's strategy of raising war with war.

The entire Southern Expedition can be summed up in one sentence, and everything is not going well.

This dissatisfaction made Huang Taiji a little anxious.A bold idea came to his mind.

"Come on, map."

Huang Taiji studied the map for a long time.The more he thought about it, the more reliable his ideas became.The idea is to directly attack the capital.

Huang Taiji studied the history of the Ming Dynasty.He knew that there was an emperor in the history of the Ming Dynasty who came to the throne like this.This made such an idea arise in my mind.If now, he gave up these trivial goals and directly attacked the capital would it create a miracle.

There is also a concern.That is, with the combat effectiveness displayed by the Ming army now, attacking the capital will inevitably pay a huge price.But at the same time, the rewards are unimaginable.

Mainly because these days, Huang Taiji has always retained his combat power.Without the whole army dispatched, a general attack was launched.He knew that the Ming army was trying to delay, until he couldn't bear to retreat.But he himself is also testing the strength of the Ming army.

Although the Ming army was much stronger than expected.But if you are real here.Absolutely crush them.And if he attacks the capital, he can also get the internal help of many allies.It's actually not as difficult as you might imagine.

This idea sprouted in Huang Taiji's heart, and it grew rapidly.It finally turned into a lingering thought.

Just when Huang Taiji was about to attack Huanglong.What he didn't know was that his Huanglong was smashed by Lu Xiao.This time, Lu Xiao used a desperate plan.Set fire directly to the mountain.

That piece of mountain forest formed thousands of years ago was ignited by his fire.Countless Tartar people, beasts, who were begging for a living in the mountains were completely buried by flames and thick smoke.Those fertile fields that were about to mature, those Tartars who resisted or did not resist, were all buried in these mountains by Lu Xiao.

The ecology of this mountain range, after the fire, may take hundreds of years to gradually recover.

"I don't understand. Just these crooked melons, cracked dates, and big farts, how can Daming be unable to beat them?"

Ding Xiu participated in this dragon slaying plan throughout the whole process, and he originally came for a tyrannical opponent who was evenly matched.After the results came, I found out.Tartar's lair is like that.Not to mention the capital, even those Liaodong cities in Liaoyang and Shenyang are not comparable.

And the combat effectiveness of the soldiers is not as high as imagined.It is a little stronger than the Ming army, but its strength is limited.He really didn't understand that even if the Ming army used people to pile up, they could pile up this enemy to death.

"Hehe, you're thinking too simply. There are many reasons why the Ming army couldn't defeat the Tartars. It's not just the combat effectiveness of the soldiers. It's the corruption of the entire armament. Since ancient times, the battlefield has been the place of glory for soldiers. They He has made great achievements here and made his own achievements. But I don't know when the word thief with the army became the name of a soldier.

You must know that these soldiers are fighting, but they are fighting against those officials in the court.As a result, they called the following people and thieves to join the army?Even if it's not for making achievements, it's for eating enough.But now the soldiers of Daming can't even eat their own food, let alone support their families. "

Ding Xiu looked back at the soldiers who were cleaning up the spoils.Although most things were burnt.But after all, this is the capital of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and it is easy to make a lot of money for those soldiers.

But what is surprising is that all the soldiers did not hide their things.Instead, he took the initiative to take them all out and piled them on the ground, waiting for Lu Xiao's order.If this scene was seen by other Ming soldiers, I don't know what kind of expression it would be like.But here in Zhongyongwei, this is a routine operation.

These soldiers have fought against Lu Xiao many times.They are very clear in their minds that their Shangguan will never treat them badly.As long as the discipline is followed, the benefits will never be less.

"You see, it's actually very simple to make them work hard. Let them eat and give them honor. These soldiers will naturally die for you. Pass my orders, and all the gains from this battle will be handled by yourself. But the goods you carry must not affect the march. ."
