Cutting over the end of the Ming Dynasty: a dog-leg knife at the beginning

Chapter 936 Scarlet Imperial Capital 9
The earth-shattering explosion shook the ancient capital. Only the devil knows how much explosives the attackers used. The majestic palace collapsed with a loud noise, and some wooden buildings burst into flames. I don’t know how many palace guards were buried in the In the ruins, not to mention how many people were trapped in the sea of ​​flames and wailed loudly. This situation and the scene seemed to be the end of the world!Everyone was dumbfounded, who the hell is usually so quiet, but he played so loudly and ruthlessly when he made a move!
Huang Taiji's complexion was ashen. He judged that Yang Menglong was still alive, and he had been very uneasy since he had already gone north. He was always afraid that this guy who didn't play cards according to common sense would play tricks on him and dig some traps for him to jump into. Now look at Come on, his worries were not without reason.Sure enough, Yang Menglong dug a big hole for him in Beijing ahead of time, and then put him in the wrong place——didn’t those shameless bastards advocate that you are the descendant of a sage?Didn't those stinky and shameless people do everything possible to give you the entire capital in order to prove how wise and powerful you are and how popular you are?Okay, I will give you a big explosion while people are panicking, completely disrupting the situation in the capital. I don't believe that your army can control the crowd that has gone crazy and rushed towards you desperately. One person controls the scene!When their knives are stained with blood, all the fallacies you and those stinky shameless guys advocated will be self-defeating!

What a vicious scheming!

What a clever trap!

Huang Taiji could only smile wryly at this.Even if he knew there was a trap here, so what?In the end, he still has to jump in obediently, unless he doesn't want to enter this Beijing city anymore!

Everything was rehearsed countless times in advance, with the sound of explosions, countless panicked residents of the capital rushed towards Huang Taiji, trying to escape. "Protect your majesty!" Of course, the Qing army can't let them run into them. Everything is in chaos now, and the chaos can't be worsened. If an assassin sneaks into the crowd and approaches Huang Taiji in the chaos and then violently attacks Huang Taiji, even if Huang Taiji has ten lives, it won't be enough. They play!Jiala, the most elite of the Zhenghuang Banner, raised the rifled flintlock captured from the Ming army in the Battle of Panjin without hesitation, and pulled the trigger according to the swarming crowd.Bang bang bang!The gunshots were continuous, so dense that it was almost impossible to distinguish the counts, the flames burst out, the projectiles howled and pierced, piercing into the crowd and exploding a cloud of blood mist, and the screams suddenly resounded.The power of the rifled flintlock gun was too great, and the rushing crowd was too dense. One bullet could often penetrate two or three people. After the sound of the gunshot, those who were shot spurted blood all over their bodies and fell down in pieces.Following the tactics of the Tianxiong Army, the entire Jiala was divided into multiple rows and fired guns in turn, cutting down those who rushed over like wheat, and blood flowed on the long street.Wen Tiren, Wu Yingxiong, Hou Xun and others looked pale, closed their eyes in pain, and murmured: "It's over!"

It is indeed over.As soon as the gunfire rang out, the Qing troops who had not yet entered the city thought there was an ambush in Beijing, so they rushed in like crazy. When they encountered the oncoming crowd, they were rude and slashed with their swords. Kill one, come two and kill a pair!I don’t know whether it was because he was eager to show off in front of his master or because the Battle of Tangshan was too miserable, and he was so angry that he couldn’t get out. Guan Ning’s army behaved ten times more ferociously than the Qing army, and directly used cavalry to rampage. People raise their knives, wherever they go, blood flies, people's heads roll, and dead bodies are on the pillow!The shrill screams and the splatters of blood declared that the civil servant group's merciful and bloodless plan to open the city had become a complete joke. Anyone who is not blind will be shocked when they see the messy corpses on the streets and alleys. Cursed angrily: "What kind of bullshit is the holy king, he is clearly a hungry wolf! You lured wolves into the house!" Thinking of this, they wanted to die!
Wu Sangui personally led Yi Ding Tuqi all the way, and he didn't know how many panicked people and officers and soldiers he cut down, and finally rushed in front of Huang Taiji. It has risen to five or six floors.Wu Sangui jumped off the horse, knelt down on the ground, and shouted at Huang Taiji: "Your servant is late to rescue me, please punish me!"

Huang Taiji waved his hand and said, "Aiqing, please! How is the situation?"

Wu Sangui said: "For the time being, no ambushes have been found outside the capital, and the troops entering the city have not encountered any resistance. They are just surrounded by terrified crowds, making it difficult to move... Your Majesty, the situation is not right!"

Huang Taiji said: "Of course the situation is wrong! This is Yang Menglong's plan. He wants to muddy the water, damage my reputation, make me bear the name of executioner, and make Wen Aiqing and the others sinners through the ages... Humph, Yang Menglong, hello Vicious scheming!" His brows suddenly tightened——Yang Menglong is a very realistic person, and he tried his best to set up such a big game, not just for the sake of hitting Wenchen Group in the face, there must be more More important purpose!It's just that the current situation is too chaotic. Huang Taiji racked his brains, but he couldn't grasp the key to the problem. He was struggling. Fan Wencheng had already reacted, and exclaimed: "Not good, the palace!"

A flash of lightning pierced through the mist, and Huang Taiji cried out: "His goal is the imperial palace! Wu Sangui!"

Wu Sangui responded loudly: "The slave is here!"

Huang Taiji pointed at the flames of the Forbidden City, and sternly shouted: "Take your Yi Ding Tuqi immediately, and enter the Forbidden City at the fastest speed! No matter what method you use, you must control the royal family! Well done! There is a reward, if someone takes advantage of the chaos to rescue the members of the royal family, come and see me!"

Wu Sangui shuddered and responded loudly: "Your servant obeys!"

But Hauge shouted: "Huang Ama, let the servants go, the situation is too complicated now, the devil knows whether these Han people can be trusted!"

Wu Sangui almost vomited blood, and called: "Prince Suwu, this servant is loyal to Qing Dynasty!"

Hao Ge sneered: "Anyone can say such beautiful words, but very few people can really do it! Now everything is messed up, and no one can believe it except our own!" He said to the hundreds of white armor soldiers in the headquarters: I'm coming!" Kicking the horse's belly with a spur, the Liaodong steed under its crotch rushed out like a cannonball, leading hundreds of fierce white armored soldiers to the Forbidden City like a hurricane.

The general of Guan Ning's army looked as ugly as he wanted.

Huang Taiji pondered for a while, and said to Wu Sangui and Zu Zerun: "Haoge is brave but not resourceful, and the current situation is complicated, so let him alone to avoid mistakes. Two generals, please help me!"

Zu Zerun and Wu Sangui were overjoyed, they both agreed and each led hundreds of elite soldiers to the Forbidden City.

Now the Forbidden City is in complete chaos. Countless officials, maids, and eunuchs screamed and ran out of the Forbidden City, while the palace guards blindly rushed towards the exploding and burning palaces, and everyone huddled together.Some unscrupulous guys took advantage of the fire to loot, rushed into the palace to loot all kinds of rare treasures, gold and silver utensils, and even raped the maids. Many court ladies had no choice but to commit suicide by throwing themselves into a lake or a well, or simply hanging themselves or even setting themselves on fire.These behaviors of taking advantage of the fire made the situation more complicated. The wild laughter, the cries and screams of the weak women, and the sound of the collapse of the pavilions followed one after another, as if the whole world was collapsing, and countless faces were caught in the fireworks. Twisted, even a battle-hardened fighter like Hauge is thrilling to be in it.The fierce Manchurian white-armored soldiers are not reasonable characters. Hauge grabbed a well-dressed eunuch and asked how to get to Kunning Palace, where the queen was, and led the white-armored soldiers to rush there. Regardless of whether it is the gray-haired old eunuch or the charming palace lady, one by one, they cut down a bloody alley, and the Forbidden City was full of blood. Their cruel methods made the situation in the Forbidden City even more frenzied. People shouted loudly and ran wildly!

The Kunning Palace arrived in a blink of an eye, and this magnificent palace was already in flames, but through the thick smoke and fire, it could be seen that many people were evacuating to the Imperial Garden, and some men in black helmets and black armor were guarding the ruined walls with guns In the meantime, he stared at this side coldly, and looked at the roaring white armored soldiers, their eyes collided, and sparks flew everywhere!

Heluo savage!

Manchurian slavery!

Bang bang bang bang!

Without any unnecessary movements, not even a word of nonsense, the elites led by Hauge had just appeared when a volley of guns came over from the opposite side. The bullets hit the horses and people, with a popping sound, and many white-armored soldiers were killed. The horse rolled into a ball.Hauge reacted very quickly. He leaned down and missed several rounds of bullets. He pointed his saber at the ruins of the wall where the Heluo New Army was guarding and roared: "They are there! Surround them and attack them. No one is allowed to escape!"

Hundreds of white-armored soldiers didn't talk nonsense, quickly got off their horses, drew their compound bows and swished a round of arrows at the Heluo New Army, and the Heluo New Army responded with dense volleys of guns.Hauge personally led dozens of people to bypass this line of defense, and saw a wall in the imperial garden shaken by the explosion, a dozen white armored soldiers rushed up and smashed it fiercely, knocking down the wall abruptly, and there was a sudden buzz in the imperial garden. There was a scream.Through the dust, Hauge was excited to see a group of soldiers from the Ming army covering several pretty ladies and children in yellow robes and going behind a rockery, and those who got in did not come out again Needless to say, there is a tunnel behind the rockery!Seeing him rushing over with people, those ladies and children immediately screamed.Hauge grinned: "I'll see where you are going!" Pointing at the saber, "Catch them, don't let them run away!"

Shi Tianbao, who was directing the evacuation, couldn't help being a little surprised when he saw Hauge kill him so quickly.For this rescue, he made a careful plan in advance, first of all, he dug the tunnel leading to the imperial garden——I don’t know why, Yang Menglong secretly sent people outside Beijing three years ago It took three years to dig a tunnel leading to the Forbidden City. Due to the careful construction, it has not been discovered.When Shi Tianbao was ordered to go north and enter Beijing, there was only about a hundred meters left in the tunnel to the Imperial Garden. He and all his brothers worked day and night, and on the night Zhou Ruhu successfully sneaked into the palace, he finally succeeded The tunnel was dug and a large amount of explosives and weapons were brought in.After learning that the Qing army had entered the city, he and Zhou Ruhu commanded their own troops to stage a violent attack, killed many Jinyiwei and palace guards, and took over the harem concubines and princes who were under house arrest—thanks to Chongzhen’s There are not many concubines and children, otherwise they would be busy.At the same time, with the help of Cao Huachun, Zhou Ruhu brought over some ancient books preserved in the royal palace. It is said that many of these ancient books are still the only copies of the Qin and Han Dynasties, which are extremely precious and cannot be lost.Originally, he thought that the capital was in chaos and it would take an hour or two for the Qing army to find this place no matter what. He had plenty of time to organize a retreat, but he didn't expect the Qing army to come so fast and kill them in a blink of an eye!

Now that the opponent has already been killed, there is nothing to say, let's have a good fight, when will the Heluo New Army be afraid of you slaves!
Shi Tianbao yelled: "Retreat first to protect the empress, and I will break the back!" With his hands on his waist, he added two revolver flintlock pistols, bowed left and right, and pulled the trigger repeatedly at the white armored soldiers who rushed up, bang bang bang bang There was a burst of gunfire, and several white armored soldiers were shot in the head, their brains burst, and they died on the spot.The scouts also pulled out their pistols and pulled the triggers. Almost at the same time, the crossbows and strong bows in the hands of the white-armored soldiers also began to fire. Sharp arrows and lead bullets flew through the square inch, blood spattered, and screamed. Again and again, people on both sides kept falling down, and once they fell down, they couldn't stand up again. The Royal Garden became a slaughterhouse!
