Chapter 541: Clean up the old mountains and rivers


More and more Ming cavalry entered Baoding City, and Duduo's face was as pale as paper.

Although he didn't want to admit it, the fact was that the city couldn't be defended.

Seeing Duduo's cowardly look, Dayu'er forced himself to calm down and said, "Shouldn't the regent order the soldiers to prepare for street fighting at this moment?"

Duduo instinctively wanted to sarcastically retort, but after thinking carefully about what the woman said, there was some truth in it, so he nodded.

The Manchu warriors deserve to persist until the very end.

The people in Baoding City are all bannermen from the Manchu and Mongolian Banners, and their combat effectiveness is very fierce.

Naturally, they are not willing to be captured without mercy and will kill them at the slightest sign of their neck.

Under Duduo's order, they gathered frantically to counterattack.

It was difficult for cavalry to exert its power in street fighting, so all Qing soldiers dismounted and fought on foot.

The Ming soldiers also dismounted.

But they have better discipline, better armor, better formations, and even better weapons.

They had flintlock muskets in their hands.

The Fusiliers of the Ming Army did not panic at all when facing the charging Qing soldiers.

They pulled the triggers as usual in training, and then the charging Qing soldiers fell down one by one.

The vast majority of Qing soldiers had never seen a flintlock rifle and naturally did not understand its power.

It wasn't until they saw their companions falling one by one that their eyes were full of horror.

This thing is terrible.

Upon seeing this, Duduo ordered the musketeers in the Qing army to fight back.

It's just that the guns equipped by the Qing army were matchlock guns, which were much more cumbersome to use than flintlock guns.

But it was still powerful after all, and gradually Ming soldiers also suffered casualties.

The soldiers of the Ming army did not have any fear and fired calmly.

The two sides exchanged wild shots, and from time to time someone fell down.

Just when the battle situation was getting tense, suddenly there was a strong wind, lightning and thunder.

Duduo looked up at the sky, feeling something was wrong.

If it really rains, the Musketeers will definitely not be able to perform.

But he was relieved when he thought that the Ming army could not shoot.

Sure enough, it rained heavily.

Heavy rain came from the sky, and the matchlock guns were completely unusable.

The Qing soldiers put away their guns and prepared to fight with their knives.

But the soldiers of the Ming Army held their flintlock guns very confidently.

"Bang bang bang" Facing the charging Qing soldiers, they pulled the triggers in their hands.

The Qing soldiers fell down one by one.

Their eyes were filled with astonishment and disbelief.

They really didn't understand why the Ming army's matchlock guns could still shoot under such harsh weather conditions.

Before they died, some people finally understood that the Ming army was not using matchlock guns.

Duduo was also shocked.

First, there are artillery that can directly blast open the city gate, and then there are muskets that can be used in heavy rain.

There are still many hidden firearms that the Ming army has not used.

He now finally understood why the Qing army had suffered successive defeats in recent years.

But now I understand it's too late.

The fusiliers of the Ming army kept firing, and the force of the queuing to kill was extremely powerful.

The soldiers of the Qing army fell one by one.

Gao Jie smiled.

The men under his command are really good.

Killing Tatars is like killing chickens and dogs.

He had been waiting for this day for so long that he was extremely excited when it actually came.

"Bang bang bang" The sound of flintlock firing was so crisp, but it was a little strange accompanied by the wailing of the Qing soldiers.

Dodo bit his lip tightly.

He could do nothing now but watch the soldiers die.

Damn it, why don’t Wu Sangui, Kong Youde, and Geng Zhongming, who are defending the flanking cities, come to the rescue?

If they don't come back, Duduo will really be unable to hold on.

Every time the Ming army moved forward, the Qing army had to take a step back.

But there is only so much space in total, and there will always be a time when it reaches its end.

Duduo thought that he could not go on like this, so he rushed to Dayu'er and Shunzhi and said: "Let's change clothes and see if we can escape."

Da Yu'er was stunned: "Change clothes" "Change into the clothes of an ordinary soldier."

Dodo took a deep breath.

Dayu'er was a little hesitant.

Of course she knew what that meant.

Baoding City could no longer be defended.

If you continue to stay, you will definitely be waiting for death.

But she was the Queen Mother of the Qing Dynasty, and her son was the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty.

Wouldn't it be chilling to run away like this?

"It will be too late if we don't leave."

Duduo urged again.

Duduo does not have any psychological barriers.

In his opinion, surviving is the most important thing.

Da Yuer finally agreed.

It's all about her son.

The three of them changed into the clothes of ordinary soldiers at the same time and prepared to take advantage of the chaos to leave the city.

Nowadays, the city of Baoding is in chaos and there are soldiers from the Ming and Qing Dynasties fighting for their lives.

Duduo and the others are running along the wall and are about to reach the city gate.

Suddenly a lead bullet shot straight into Duduo's heart.

The power of the flintlock gun was beyond what ordinary soldiers' armor could withstand, and Duduo fell to the ground.

He was writhing on the ground and wailing in pain, and died soon after.

Dayu'er and Shunzhi were not much better.

A thunderbolt flew from nowhere and killed them directly.

Of course no one paid attention to them because the clothes they wore were too ordinary.

The soldiers of the Ming army continued to kill Tatars, washing away the humiliation of the past with blood.

The Qing army lost its commander and its morale was in chaos, like a piece of loose sand.

They are just instinctively fighting against trapped animals.

It's just that the Ming army was extremely capable of cleaning up messes.

No matter where the Qing soldiers were hiding, they could always be found and killed.

The street fighting ended after half a day.

The Ming army planted the Ming flag on the top of Baoding City again.

The atmosphere in Baoding City, which had been washed away by blood, was a bit solemn.

Gao Jie ordered that all the heads of the Qing soldiers be beheaded, and the corpses were transported to dig pits outside the city and burned.

He also ordered people to pour cold water on the streets to wash away the blood.

After a lot of work, there were no traces of the aftermath of the war except for the piles of heads in the city.

According to the information obtained by Gao Jie, Duduo should be in the city.

It is said that the Queen Mother and the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty were also in the city supervising the battle.

But Gao Jie didn't notice them.

Until he accidentally saw several corpses.

One of them was obviously very young, and the other was a woman.

Gao Jie has already guessed their identities.

Next to these two corpses, there was the corpse of an adult man.

This person should be Duduo.

After identification by some Qing prisoners, Gao Jie confirmed the identities of the three people.

His Majesty the Emperor, who was counting the days carefully for his personal expedition, must have arrived in Baoding soon.

He was ready to tell the Holy Emperor the good news in person.

At the same time, Wen Anzhi and Du Yinxi led the Ming army to defeat Wu Sangui, Kong Youde, and Geng Zhongming respectively.

All three of them died in battle.

The Qing army under their command was completely wiped out, and Baoding was restored.

The Ming army won a complete victory in the most critical battle of the Northern Expedition.

By now, the Qing army had completely lost the possibility of resisting and counterattacking
