Yang Guli's flag is too far away. Only the Hongyi cannon with a long range can reach it, and it must be the Hongyi cannon with more than six pounds. Although the Fleang machine gun is fast, its range is not far.
"Aim at the general flag on the opposite mountain and smash them for me!"
"Bang!"
After a gun test, the ground shaking sound of the artillery that had stopped for a long time in front of the Yongwei Camp began again.
All the Hongyi cannons fired together, and in the thick and sharp smoke, the dense iron balls shot away at the Yanguli flag on the distant mountain.
The deafening sound of the cannon sounded one after another, and one after another dense lead pills roared away to the flag, which made the opposite Qing army fall to the ground one by one, and everywhere was in chaos.
In the face of the roar of lead bullets, the Qing army positions were in chaos for a long time, and the yellow flag soldiers guarding Yang Guli around the flag screamed away from this place.
On the hillside where Yangguli is located, the artillery shells of this era are basically solid balls, which cannot roll on the reverse slope. They can only hit one hole at a time, and can hardly exert the power of the artillery, so Yangguli is lucky to survive.
Rao Shiyang Guli has been through the battlefield for a long time and knows a lot. At this time, he is at a loss and has no idea. His eyes were straight, and the hot weather made his face full of sweat.
Jiala Zhangjing beside him said: "My husband, the Ming army's artillery is too strong, please retreat quickly!"
Yanguri shook his hands and finally understood that the battle was a complete failure. If the artillery of the Yongwei Camp adjusted its distance, he would be smashed to pieces.
Yanguli bit his teeth, his voice trembling, and said, "Order the whole army to retreat!"
Yang Guli knew that the Liangxiang City could not be defended, and it was a dead end to escape to the Liangxiang City, so he had to abandon the Liangxiang City and lead the rest of the people to the south.
At last, the Qing army heard the sound of a golden call to withdraw its troops. The Eight Banners Army was defeated on all fronts. Less than 2000 infantry left retreated like a tide. Even the cavalry attacking both wings stopped fighting with the cavalry of the Yongwei Camp and turned back.
After receiving the order of Mingjin, the Tartars guarding the city, seeing that the main force was defeated, hurriedly formed a whole team, threw down all their belongings and fled the city for fear of being blocked in the city by the Ming army.
Seeing the retreat of the Qing army and the cheers from the Yongwei Camp, how could Zhu Cixuan stop? Quickly order Huang De's power army to pursue.
Huang Degong rode on the horse, raised his iron whip and shouted, "Brothers, follow me to kill the slave thieves! Strengthen our military!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The whole Yongwei Battalion immediately screamed, and all the cavalry and infantry shouted to chase the Qing army in the direction of defeat and escape, and to chase the remnants of the Qing army.
Huang De's power army was biting at the Qing army and would not let them take away Jiannu and the wounded soldiers who died in battle. He would not let go of any of these heads.
The fleeing soldiers ignored the bodies of their wounded comrades and companions, and were chased by the Yong Wei Camp all the way to chop off a large number of heads.
After chasing for several miles, Huang Degong returned triumphantly with a large number of heads and two or three hundred prisoners.
He knew very well that the cavalry of the current Yong Wei Battalion had consumed a lot after the first battle, and could not fight hard any more, so they did not pursue hard.
But the Qing army ran out for more than ten miles at one go, and then retreated to the nearby Shilou Town.
At this time, Yang Gulichai collected the defeated soldiers of Long, and sent people to gather other defeated soldiers everywhere. He also inquired about the trend of the Ming army.
At this time, the hillside of the Yongwei Camp was covered with blood and the groans of the wounded everywhere, which made Zhu Cixuan look at it and sigh.
Zhu Cixuan and five hundred Donggong guards carried the wounded soldiers of Yongwei Camp to a temporary camp. All the wounded soldiers who could not escape were decapitated.
Sun Yingyuan and other generals were used to seeing this scene in Liaodong. They didn't care. Many soldiers were filled with pride and joy. The battle of the Yongwei Camp was more than 5000 levels of conservative beheading. This was an unprecedented victory for Himin. How could it not be exciting?
After Huang Degong came back from leading the army, Zhu Cixuan left some people to continue to clean the battlefield, and then took most of them to Liangxiang City.
After the Qing army guarding the city ran away, Longxiang led the way to Liangxiang City. He cleaned up the missing Qing soldiers everywhere, and soon found the people who were trapped.
When the people saw that several members of the team who did not stop at night were riding well equipped horses and retreated in succession, they were afraid in their eyes.
Yang Qili, the chief commander of the first sentry, shouted loudly: "We are the Huangming army. We come to rescue you. Don't panic!"
Countless people poured into the street to watch. They cried each other and were finally saved.
The brave people asked the members of the team, "My lord, where are you from?"
Yang Qili replied, "We are the Yongwei Camp of the capital and the Emperor's own army! His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince, has come to Liangxiang personally and is now leading the army to hunt down Tartars outside the city. You have saved them!"
"The crown prince's men? Has the millennium come?"
"Unexpectedly, His Highness the Prince came to rescue us in person. It's really an eye opener!"
"The thousand year old master's great kindness is unforgettable. We will set up the card of longevity in the future to pray for the benefactor's happiness and longevity."
“……”
Countless people wept with joy.
Yang Qili first asked him not to collect food and meat from the warehouse built by the Qing army for a few nights, so as to relieve the captured people in the city.
He was worried that the people who had been hungry for too long would be killed by eating too much, so he only allowed each person to eat two bowls of rice porridge for the first meal.
The rare relief provided by the officers and soldiers, coupled with the long period of hunger, made all the people boiling, and countless people kowtowed to them.
At night, it was announced loudly that the Crown Prince was going to the city. Don't run around, let alone make trouble, or we will be punished severely.
Everywhere, people drank white rice porridge and were glad to be saved. They agreed to all the requirements of these soldiers and did so in a proper way.
Shortly after, several Longxiang people found several large warehouses in the city without collecting at night. There were a large number of grain and forage supplies collected there. There were hundreds of thousands of taels of silver alone, and several warehouses were piled up.
After receiving the report, Yang Qili's eyes were straight, but he was not stupid enough to want to get rid of these properties. The extra income that he didn't collect at night was already rich, and the loot in the city didn't belong to them, so he didn't have to do what triggered the military regulations.
Yang Qili was worried that some people would come to rob him, so he ordered people to keep their hands tight and no one could get near him. Then he reported to Zhu Cigui.
Zhu Cixuan was surprised when he got the news. Yang Guli lost all these goods and ran away without taking anything?
It's normal to think about it. The soldiers of the Qing Dynasty have always been conceited. They have entered the pass several times as if they were in a deserted place. There is also a legend of "being invincible". Yang Guli has nearly ten thousand people. He never expected to be defeated, so he never left behind.
Zhu Cigui said, "Send more people to take charge of the army, and let Lu Jiude and the town caretakers of the battalion headquarters make statistics after registering the capital seizure."
Yang Qili said, "Your highness, do you want to report the victory to the palace now?"
Zhu Cixuan waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, report after the advanced city has settled down, so that Longxiang won't stop to investigate the movement of the surrounding Qing army, especially the slave chieftain Azig."
There were tens of thousands of troops in the Azige Department, and Zhu Cixuan had to defend himself. After Yang Qili was ordered to withdraw, Zhu Cixuan led the Yongwei Camp to prepare to enter Liangxiang City.
