Zhao Ming led the army and arrived in the southern suburbs of Beijing.It was a long way from Tongzhou to Beijing, and it was impossible to take a boat, so the army arrived first, and the ordnance and baggage were still behind.At this time, Zhao Ming dispatched all the troops, according to the prior arrangement, camped outside the city, and sent troops to monitor each gate to prevent the Qing army from taking advantage of the stability of the Ming army's establishment of the fortress and going out of the city to attack.When the army was busy, Zhao Ming led the cavalry, flew out on horseback, and peeked into the city defense of Beijing.In the wilderness three miles away from Beijing City, Zhao Ming, the regent of the Ming Dynasty, was looking at Beijing City with a complicated expression.The reason why it is complicated is that this is the first time he has observed Beijing so closely."
It's a heroic city!"
Zhao Ming couldn't help but sigh.Behind him, Dang Shousu, Gao Yigong, Hao Shaoqi and other generals are also mixed in their hearts.Although more than ten years have passed, the scene of their panicked retreat is still vivid.At this time, Zhang Jiayu, who joined the army, said: "Your Highness, according to the report made by the Military Intelligence Department, there are still 100,000 Qing troops in the city, of which there are about 20,000 full soldiers. ”Zhao Ming nodded and reminded: "In addition to the army, the families of the Manchurians in the city should also be considered.After all, it started in the mountains and forests, and it has only been more than ten years, and at the critical moment, these people can also go to the city to fight. ”Zhang Jiayu said, "Your Highness has considered it thoroughly, in fact, Azig has already issued weapons to Manchurian dependents." ”Zhao Ming frowned, if this is the case, then there will be more than 100,000 defenders in the city.Zhao Ming pondered for a while, and then asked: "The soldiers and horses in the city, how do you deploy Azig?"
”Zhang Jiayu did not answer directly, but pointed to the Beijing city in the distance: "Back to Your Highness, this Beijing city wall, in the shape of a "convex" character, is located on the bank of the Lugou River.To the south is the outer city, to the north is the inner city, and in the inner city, there is also the imperial city.Since the Qing army entered the customs, the Qing army drove the Han people in the inner city to the outer city and placed the families of the Eight Banners in the inner city.Hence the inner city, also known as the full city. ”Zhao Ming listened carefully, and Zhang Jiayu continued, "According to the detailed investigation in the city, Azig learned the lessons of Xuzhou and arranged the Han army in the city mainly in the outer city, and the inner city was defended by the Manchu army.The minister's suggestion was that the army bypassed the Han army in the outer city and directly attacked the Xizhimen, Andingmen, Deshengmen, and Dongzhimen in the inner city, otherwise even if the outer city was broken, the army still had to fight the three gates of Chongwen, Xuanwu, and Zhengyang in order to attack the inner city. ”Generally speaking, the outer Guo and the inner Guo are arranged in the shape of a "Hui", and the outer Guo Hui surrounds and protects the inner Guo.However, the inner and outer Guocheng of Beijing City is laid out in the word "Lu", and the outer Guo is in the south of the inner Guocheng, and the inner Guo is not wrapped.In this way, when the Ming army attacked the city, it did not need to attack the outer Guo, and could directly detour to the east, west, and north of Beijing to attack the inner Guo city.The location of everyone and his entourage, outside the Yongding Gate of the outer city, Zhao Ming listened to Zhang Jiayu's words, so he immediately pulled out his horse and said: "Take a detour to the inner city to have a look." ”When Zhao Ming peeked into Beijing's city defense, Azig had already come to the city.At this time, the Qing army at the head of the city was hugging the city wall, looking out of the city, pointing at the Ming army outside the city and exclaiming."
The emperor has arrived!"
At this moment, behind the soldier, there was a sudden shout.The Qing army in the city turned around and found Azig wearing a dragon robe and a crown of a towering round tower under the yellow umbrella."
The emperor is auspicious!"
The Qing troops in the city knelt on the ground and saluted.Azig led a group of civil and military soldiers up the steps, and the soldiers at the head of the city knelt down one after another, unable to look directly.Azig waved his hand and said in a gloomy voice: "Do your duty, continue to arm!"
”Hearing this, the head of the city general hurriedly saluted, and then hurriedly called his subordinates to go to the city as if fleeing, carrying the equipment to defend the city.Azig walked to the edge of the city wall, after all, he has been in charge of the army for many years, and he is the second generation of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the only person who has survived, he has experienced countless battles in his life, hundreds of thousands of battles, and has participated in many battles, and he has seen battles.Therefore, Azig stood at the head of the city, looked at the city from afar, and found that the Ming army outside the city was spread like ants, and the mighty Ming army in the distance was still coming when the whole person was still calm.However, the officials who followed him to the city, as well as the later generations of Manchurian nobles, were not calm.The crown prince Bolehe can be regarded as having fought, but his face is still pale, and what's more, just by looking at it, he was scared and trembled, and shouted, "The Ming army is so strong!"
”"Throw the whip and cut off the stream, and the black clouds will crush the city!"
Azig was closely monitoring the movements of the Ming army outside the city.In order to defend against the Ming attack, he had been preparing for months.Although he has been hunting in Nanyuan, he has not lost any defensive matters.As early as a month ago, he was ready to defend Beijing, and he thought that the defensive facilities and equipment were quite well prepared.Even after the First World War in Xuzhou, how to defend against the Ming army's giant artillery, Azig also had a plan, that is, to prepare a large number of stones, as well as wooden fences, in the interval between shelling, repair the city wall, or rebuild the wooden wall behind the collapse.For this reason, he was also behind the city wall, expelled the house, and dug a trench in the city, even if the Ming army rushed into the city, it could be blocked by the moat.Once the city wall collapsed and the Ming army rushed in, the planks could be drawn to form another wall with the wooden fence.With such a complete mistake, Azig felt that he had some certainty, and he took the civil and military forces to the city, hoping that after these people saw the city defense, they could boost their confidence and firmly believe that they could defend Beijing.Who knew that as soon as they went to the city, they heard the shouts of others who were angry and destroyed their prestige, which made Azig's fat cheeks tremble."
What's the panic?"
Azig let out a low sigh of exasperation.Behind him, the civil and military and Manchurian nobles were quieter.Azig's cold gaze swept over everyone, and sneered: "You are afraid, can Zhao Zamao let you go?"
The capital can't be defended, do you still have a way to live?
”Azig looked at the people who lowered their heads, and asked a question that hit the soul directly, and then continued: "Now, it has come to the moment of life and death in the Qing Dynasty, and I and you can only seek a glimmer of life by showing the courage of our ancestors and defeating the Ming army in Sarhu.Fear can't save you, and it can't save the Qing Dynasty, and Zhao Zamao won't show mercy because of your fear. ”These few words aroused a lot of blood in the hearts of people, and Azig was right, they had no way out.Seeing the change in everyone's expressions, Azig immediately slowed down his tone, pointed to the Ming army outside the city and said, "Don't worry too much about it, I think Zhao Zamao is invincible, I almost killed that guy." ”Azig boasted about his deeds in Jiangbei again, that battle had been blown by him for nearly ten years, and when he finished blowing, he continued to say loudly: "This time Zhao Zamao's army is indeed very strong, but don't be frightened by him."
His army is complex and full of factions.As long as you wait with me and hold on to Beijing, after a long time, there will inevitably be problems within the Ming army, and then Wu Sangui and the two Shun kings will send troops. ”Azig looked at everyone and raised his arms and exclaimed, "When the time comes, I will lead you and others to defeat Zhao Zamao again."
And this time, I'm going to screw his head off with my own hands. ”(ask for a commuter pass, recommend, subscribe) ()
