Daming pirates

At this time, a white flag was suddenly erected on the Wengcheng wall of Dongzhimen, and then it began to be waved back and forth.

Qiu Qinghui was currently holding a telescope, opening one eye and closing one, his eyes were sore from staring, all the time observing the movements on the walls near the city gate.

Just now he saw some commotion on the city wall, but he never saw the promised signal. Such a long wait made him feel a little impatient.

Is this information accurate? Will the city gate be opened? As time goes by, Qiu Qinghui feels more and more unsure, and his mood is starting to become a little anxious.

It wasn't until he saw the white flag erected on the city wall in the telescope that Qiu Qinghui breathed a long sigh of relief, threw the telescope to the guard, and yelled: "Follow.

I'm going to rush!..."

Two infantry brigades, totaling seven infantry battalions with a total of nearly 10,000 people, after receiving Qiu Qinghui's order, all shouted in unison, followed Qiu Qinghui behind, and rushed toward Dongzhimen.

Nearly ten thousand people almost shouted for death in unison, like a roar of thunder on the ground, and the crowd rushed towards Dongzhimen like a giant wave.

This time there was no counterattack sound from the top of the city, but some panicked shouts and curses were heard. When the Yu family army, led by Qiu Qinghui, rushed hundreds of steps away from the Dongzhimen city gate, the city gate suddenly

The room was opened from the inside, and dozens of people rushed out of the city on horseback, rushing towards the Yu family army.

The people on the horses in the distance are all holding a lance, but there is a piece of white cloth on the lance. When you get closer, you can see that each of them has a piece of white cloth wrapped around their arms, which is very eye-catching. The leader is

A Ming army general wearing fish scale armor, tall and strong, with a beard, looked quite powerful.

Qiu Qinghui rode his horse and led some guards to meet him. Both sides held the reins of their horses at a distance of more than ten meters and controlled the horses. Qiu Qinghui hugged the Ming army general on the opposite side and asked loudly: "

Is that General Gao across from you?"

"That's right! Is this General Qiu here?" the Ming army general answered loudly, clasping his fists, and asked rhetorically.

"That's right! General Gao Gao Yi! Qiu thanked General Gao on behalf of our commander! This is not the place to talk. How is the situation inside?" Qiu Qinghui asked loudly.

"General Gao Moubiao has taken control of the city gate and Wengcheng, but there are still some officers and soldiers in the city who are unwilling to open the city and surrender. Now they are trying to counterattack and retake the city gate. Without further delay, General Qiu quickly leads his troops into the city!

Let’s talk about everything after we enter the city!” Gao Minghui’s face was full of anxiety.

With a sharp expression, at this time, several cannons from the defenders on the distant city wall suddenly fired. The shells roared and hit the Yu Jiajun outside the city near the city gate. Immediately, two lines were fired from the Yu Jiajun formation.

Bloody Alley, killing and wounding some Yu Jiajun soldiers.

Gao Minghu's face tightened, he turned around and cursed angrily: "That's because Gao Qiqian's men refused to open the city! General Qiu enter the city quickly! If it's too late, I'm afraid the city gate will be damaged!"

Qiu Qinghui nodded, and once again gave Gao Minghu a fist salute on horseback: "Thank you, General Gao, for your righteous act! Let's talk about it after we enter the city!"

After saying that, Qiu Qinghui was about to mobilize his war horses and lead his troops to rush past Gao Minghu. But at this time, Gao Minghu's face tightened again and he suddenly shouted: "General Qiu, wait a minute, listen to what Gao has to say! Gao and Gui

The Ministry has said it first, Marshal Yu’s troops can enter the city, but after entering the city, they must not harm the current Holy Emperor, otherwise, even if Gao is a ghost, he will never let you go!"

Qiu Qinghui immediately replied: "General Gao, please rest assured. Our commander-in-chief has strictly ordered us not to disturb the people after entering the city, kill innocent people indiscriminately, let alone attack the palace! As long as the defenders in the city do not resist, the Yu family army will ensure their safety.

!As for your Majesty, we are here as King Qin, and we will not embarrass your Majesty!"

Gao Minghu gritted his teeth, nodded heavily, clasped his fists at Qiu Qinghui again and shouted loudly: "Okay! I, Gao, believe in General Qiu this time! Please do everything!"

At this time, the artillerymen of the Yu Jiajun outside the city could no longer bear it. When they saw artillery fired from somewhere in the city and began to bombard their Yu Jiajun brothers, the officers immediately ordered the firing without saying a word.

Dozens of brigade artillery cannons began to roar in unison. Dozens of artillery shells roared over the heads of Yu Jiajun outside the city, slamming heavily into several firing positions on the city wall, almost instantly.

The cannons that fired at those locations were submerged in the shells, causing bricks and stones to fly everywhere on the city wall. Screams kept ringing out. The cannons that had just fired were completely silenced in almost a moment.

Qiu Qinghui followed Gao Minghu and led a large number of Yu family generals, roaring towards Dongzhimen. At this time, the gate of Wengcheng had already been opened wide and guarded by a group of officers and soldiers with white cloths on their arms. The vanguard troops fought with them.

With a greeting, they immediately rushed into the urn city at their call.

In order to guard against Gao Minghu's deception, the first batch of people to enter the city were two companies selected in advance, which can be regarded as a group of dead soldiers. Once Gao Minghu deceived, these two companies rushed into the Wengcheng, and there would be great consequences.

There is a high risk that the army may be ambushed by an ambushed army, leading to the annihilation of the entire army.

Therefore, they shouldered the heavy burden of exploring the path. Everyone held the weapons in their hands tightly, and the surrounding swordsmen and guards held their shields high to protect the brothers around them.

Rushing into the urn city, they saw that the inner city gate was also wide open at this time. The two company commanders who led the team breathed a sigh of relief. They led the troops and rushed directly to the inner city gate without stopping, separating out.

Two platoons of troops took over the gate of Wengcheng and sent a signal to the following troops.

Qiu Qinghui then ordered the follow-up main force to start entering the Wengcheng. After a while, the vanguard troops took control of the Wengcheng, rushed into the inner city gate, and took over the defense of the inner city gate. Gao Minghu led his men and took over the Wengcheng.

The guarding of the inner and outer city gates was handed over to the Yu Jiajun, who now completely controlled the inner and outer city gates.

At this time, a group of officers and soldiers were very close to the city gate, attacking the city gate in an attempt to retake the city gate. As soon as the soldiers of the Yu family rushed into the city gate, they immediately began to take over from those Gao Minghu's soldiers.

The private soldiers began to withstand the counterattack of this group of officers and soldiers.

After hearing a shocking burst of musketry, the group of officers and soldiers who were desperately attacking the city gate were instantly knocked down.

As soon as this group of officers and soldiers saw that the Yu Jiajun had entered the city and had killed and injured a number of people, they immediately broke into chaos. As more and more Yu Jiajun rushed into the city, the commanders of each battalion

Immediately following Qiu Qinghui's prior order, they began to disperse

Go, a group of people immediately took control of the area inside the city gate, and climbed onto the city wall, attacking both sides of the city wall, repelling the officers and soldiers who did not surrender, controlling the longer city wall, and moving the horse paths and stairs leading up to the city wall.

Everything was completely under control.

The two battalions of the 7th Brigade, led by a battalion commander, attacked directly along the city wall towards Chaoyang Gate without saying a word.

As for Qiu Qinghui, after a short conversation with Gao Minghu inside the city gate, the two parties agreed on some things. Gao Minghu led his soldiers to evacuate the city gate area, rest at a predetermined place, and did not participate in the remaining operations.

Qiu Qinghui immediately led the soldiers of the Fourth Brigade and rushed along the street towards the palace. Some officers and soldiers along the way were directly led by Qiu Qinghui before they even understood what was happening at the city gate.

It was not until this moment that some officers and soldiers realized that the city gate had been lost.

"It's bad! The rebels have invaded the city! Run!..."

"Something bad has happened! Gao Minghu has made an enemy decision! Dongzhimen has been breached!..."

There were all kinds of panicked shouts, and many officers and soldiers immediately began to run away after hearing the news. At this time, Dongzhimen fell into complete chaos.

Some generals fled into the city like flying boats, reporting to various places, while Qiu Qinghui led the soldiers of the fourth brigade under his command without hesitation, rolling through the streets like a whirlwind and rushing towards the palace.

go.

When these Yu Jiajun entered the capital, many of them were a bit turned away. Most of them had never entered a big city of this size. The various streets and various luxurious buildings made it difficult for them to enter.

They were a little dizzy. If the sea wolf lurking in the capital hadn't led them in advance, they probably wouldn't have been able to find the imperial city and would have been completely dizzy.

Some scattered officers and soldiers along the way also tried to block the Yu Jiajun's attack on the imperial city, but in front of the Yu Jiajun's volley of guns, their blockage seemed insignificant. In front of the muskets, all martial arts were useless, even some

The enemy is said to be an enemy of ten thousand people, but in the face of the bullets of the Yujia army's Minie rifle, they can only admit defeat.

In addition, although the Yu family army attacked the city and put the capital under martial law and everyone in the capital was in danger, the capital was not prepared to break the city. There were not enough reserve troops left in the city, nor were they deployed in advance.

Obstacles such as barricades.

Coupled with the strict military discipline of the Yu family army, after entering the city, the soldiers and generals, led by Qiu Qinghui, acted like an arm and a finger. The officers of each battalion also performed their duties and acted in strict accordance with the orders. Everyone followed like the tide.

The streets flowed towards the imperial city.

Although they passed many very luxurious buildings and yamen and other courtyards along the way, because Qiu Qinghui's order was to attack the imperial city, the Yu family soldiers turned a blind eye to these luxurious buildings and facilities along the way, as long as no one was around.

Stop them, and even if they see some courtyard doors open, no one will dare to break in and plunder without permission, but will follow the officers and run forward like flying.
