Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 422 Outsmarting the Zhending Mansion
The Qing army and the Ming army confronted each other above and below the city, and the shortest distance between the two sides was also beyond the range of bows and arrows. Of course, this refers to ordinary bows and arrows.Zhu Yousong chose this distance and picked out two heads to deal with Dorgon on the city, in order to disintegrate the Tartars' army morale.

Now Dorgon was furious, and Zhu Yousong pulled out his valve core. During this period, the capital did not send reinforcements, nor did they bring in a cannon. It was not that Daishan did not obey the order of the regent, but The soldiers and cannons of the Qing court were not inexhaustible.

During the Ming and Qing wars in the past few months, the Tartars lost no less than 30 soldiers. There are 1 people, including those who guard the city of Beijing near Gyeonggi, and maintain the operation of the Qing state in the city, including the Imperial Forest Army, there are no more than 3 horses. Shan is also very anxious, and finally has no soldiers to send.

Besides the cannons, after the Qing army entered the customs, there were more than 100 red-clothed cannons. More than 40 were put into the Tongguan battlefield, and more than 20 were pulled by Duoduo to the southern battlefield. Most of these 20 guns fell into the hands of Zhu Yousong. Later, Dorgon's personal conquest pulled out another forty or fifty cannons. In the battle of Daming Mansion, all the cannons and ammunition of these cannons were left to Zhu Yousong, and the remaining thirty cannons were guarding important places in Gyeonggi. A part of it is built on the top of the city of Beijing, which is the last line of defense of the Qing Dynasty. Although Shunzhi is a small town in Beijing, he is their Majesty Khan after all, and Daishan dare not dismantle these cannons and drag them to Zhending Mansion without authorization.

Now that Cangzhou and Taiyuan's hard-working kings have become painting cakes again, people will inevitably be panic-stricken and have no fighting spirit. It is no wonder that the regent Dorgon will be furious. When he becomes angry, he can only take these Han people on the top of the city to vent his anger. .

Zhu Yousong had no choice but to attack the city when he saw it. He didn't order to fire, but let the young general Zhang Huan shoot first.

Zhang Huan agreed, and immediately prepared three spike arrows, and shot three arrows one after another suddenly.

The target of these three arrows will of course be Dorgon. Although he is known as the divine arrow, but due to the long distance, it is about 150 steps away. This is a range that ordinary bows and arrows cannot reach. Of course it is different from shooting arrows from above the city down the city and shooting at the target peacefully.

In order to be more sure, Zhang Huan shot three arrows in a row.When he shot Hauge, Prince Su of the Qing court, he also shot three arrows in a row, but this time it was different from Hauge's three arrows. The first two arrows eliminated obstacles, and the last arrow pierced through the target.Now these three arrows are aimed at Dorgon's upper body, because his lower body is below the crenel of the city wall.

The first arrow Zhang Huan shot at Dorgon's face, the second arrow shot at Dorgon's neck, and the third arrow shot at his chest. These three arrows were all fatal, and one arrow hit, Dorgon had to die.

Three arrows flew towards him one after another whistling like a meteor. This was something that Dorgon never dreamed of. Someone could shoot cold arrows at him from such a long distance.He was so angry that his face was livid, and he had just ordered someone to hack and kill a few civilians when the first arrow arrived.

However, Dorgon is a military general, charged into the battle, fought on the battlefield for a long time, and was extremely fierce. He also had the same battlefield qualities as he watched the six roads and heard the wind from all directions.

A little slower, this arrow knocked off the fringe of his helmet with a click, and then the second arrow arrived. Since this arrow shot at his neck, he suddenly lowered his head, and the second arrow arrived. The arrow deviated from the target, and as a result, the left ear was pierced and flew, and blood gushed out. Dorgon suddenly felt sticky liquid all over his face.

Immediately afterwards, the third arrow arrived, this one was originally aimed at Dorgon's chest, Dorgon suddenly lowered his head, and his body must follow suit, this arrow also deviated from the target, whistling from his left shoulder And pass.The tail of the spiked arrow swept across the masonry on the crenel of the city wall, and a groove was wiped out of the masonry with a thud, and sparks flew.

Dorgon was so frightened that he thought he had been shot dead by an arrow, and fell back as soon as his body softened. The guards around him rushed to support him, and a few loyal protectors blocked Dorgon with their bodies .

The Tartar soldiers on the top of the city were all shocked. They shot arrows so far into the top of the city, and they shot so accurately and powerfully?Thanks to their lord regent who was so alert, otherwise these three arrows would kill him.Some people didn't see it clearly, some people saw it, Dorgon fell down from the arrow, blood spattered, they didn't know whether he was dead or alive.

"Protect the lord!" Prince Zheng Jierhalang and Sony were astonished, and hurriedly ordered someone to help Dorgon go down the city. There was a great chaos on the top of the city, and Jierhalang led his soldiers to protect Dorgon from going down the city. up.

Sony stayed in command, and at this time they didn't care about beheading the people on the top of the city, because at this time Zhu Yousong gave an order, and the overwhelming Ming army shouted and began to attack the city.

"Fire the arrows!" Sonny gave an order, thousands of arrows were fired from the top of the city, and the arrows flowed like rain, and countless arrows fell to the ground from the attacking Ming army.

However, the shouts and footsteps of the Ming army's siege did not decrease at all. Soon they crossed the moat, came under the city wall, erected a ladder and began to climb the city.

"Put rolling logs! Throw stones!" There were not only bows and arrows on the city walls, but also rolling logs, stone bricks and other defensive objects piled up like a mountain.

At this time, there were still tens of thousands of people on the top of the city, some of them were tied up, but the old, weak, sick and disabled were not tied up. It was just a Qing army driving them away with knives and guns.

They were forced to serve as cannon fodder and shields. For several days in a row, Zhu Yousong neither fired artillery nor attacked the city. Many ordinary people knew that this was because Zhu Yousong could not bear to hurt innocent people, otherwise he would have fired artillery to attack the city. But the Tartars killed innocent people indiscriminately. Just now they cut down a few like pigs and dogs. The common people hated the Tartars to the bone.

At this time, an old man in his 60s and [-]s couldn't take it any longer, because the Tartars had beheaded his youngest son and threw him off the wall just now, so seeing the Ming army attacking the city overwhelmingly, he raised his arms bravely Shouted: "Folks, the Tartars are not as good as pigs and dogs, it's better for the Ming court, kill them!"

"Yes, kill the Tartars..."

These days, the old man is not the only one suffering from it. There are many people whose wives and daughters were kidnapped, raped and killed by the Tartars. The old man took the lead in calling out their hearts, and these people also shouted with enthusiasm.

A few shouts were like ignited flames, and the common people in the city shouted along with them. Respondents gathered, and as the night went on, the common people, old and weak, women and children, rushed at the Tartars. Although they were unarmed, they were far from the Tartars. They are powerful, but they scratched, scratched, bitten, and screamed to the sky. The Tartars on the top of the city only cared about dealing with the Ming army below the city. I didn't expect these mud-legged poor sticks who usually only cry and let others be slaughtered dare to fight. The riots were overwhelmed for a while and were tossed into a mess by the common people.
