Chapter 131： Take Nanjing

"Everyone who wants to escape, go as soon as possible, and I won't stop those who want to land. As for me, I have no face to live anymore."

Hong Chengchou drew his sword to commit suicide as he spoke, but was stopped by his quick-eyed men and soldiers.

"Hey, you are trying to trap me in infidelity."

Hong Chengchou was furious and scolded him.

Someone saw Hong Chengchou's appearance and kicked him under the city wall with hatred.

After all, not everyone will be deceived by Hong Chengchou's little trick, and there are many high-ranking officials who use "attempt to commit suicide" to preserve their reputation, and there are also many routines. Everyone already knows it well.

Some people perform well and their subordinates cooperate, so the chief general can probably achieve a decent reputation. If you surrender in the future, you can also say that he was going to commit suicide and die for the country. However, he was saved by the general, and he was helpless.

But some people don't perform well, and it's embarrassing if the subordinates don't cooperate.

For example, Qian Qianyi wanted to save his life, but was also afraid of being called a second minister, so he wanted to act in the drama of committing suicide and dying the country, and surrendering in the future can also be said to be forced to be helpless.

It's a pity that after he jumped into the water, his subordinates were puzzled by the customs, and he really thought that the old man would be loyal to his death, and he didn't dare to save the big festival that ruined the old man. Or some people have noticed that they are lazy to save such hypocritical people, so as not to end up with a reputation that undermines other people's loyalty to the country.

Ever since, Qian Qianyi, who was not rescued, was embarrassed. He was just acting, but he didn't really want to die. It made me very embarrassed to watch me die like this.

Seeing his subordinates were determined not to save, Qian Qianyi also gritted his teeth and cruelly went ashore on his own. His wife Liu Ru asked him why he wanted to come up. Qian Qianyi said, "The water is too cold." Lei turned over countless people and became an eternal laughingstock.

Hong Chengchou had better luck than Qian Qianyi, and his subordinates knew each other, and they didn't embarrass him or make him a laughing stock.

As the Ming army rushed to him, Hong Chengchou and others were also very skillfully captured.

He has had the experience of being captured a long time ago, and he is indeed very experienced and skilled.

With the fall of Shuaiqi, the resistance on the wall quickly weakened.

The main generals are gone, and they continue to resist. Isn't that a brain disease.

Those generals are already taking the lead in surrendering, and the soldiers will not resist stubbornly.

Outside the city, Wu Changqing and others saw some things in the city through binoculars, and suddenly everyone's faces were filled with joy and pride.

This is the city of Nanjing, the city of Nanjing that claims to be able to stop a million soldiers, but it took them only a few days to capture it easily.

"With the rifled gun, we will be able to attack the city more easily in the future, and the recovery of Beijing is just around the corner."

Liu Hansan said with emotion that this kind of rifled gun had too much deterrent effect on the generals, and it would test the command system of the Qing army very much in the future.

"It's not that easy. In the future, the generals of the Qing army may wear soldier costumes. It will be difficult to recognize them."

Li Shaobin said that he had just seen the enemy generals change their outfits. Since the generals in Nanjing City thought of this trick, the Qing generals in the north had the intelligence and had time to study, and they would definitely be able to come up with a countermeasure.

This rifled gun can still play some deterrent effect in the future, but it is impossible to achieve a decisive effect like this time.

"Clear out the remnants as soon as possible, and strive to spend the night in the city at night."

Wu Changqing said.

The urban area in the capital city wall is nearly 100 square kilometers. Although it is much smaller than the later generations, it is already a super metropolis in this era. It is difficult to find a city larger than it in the world.

It is not easy to completely occupy and clean up such a large city, and it takes a lot of time and energy.

Wu Changqing had spoken, and the people under him naturally did not dare to slack off. Without the idleness of continuing to chat, one after another ordered their troops to speed up the cleanup.

Until he reached out his hand, he could no longer see his fingers, and the city was considered to be under initial control.

It's a pity that it's already night, and Wu Changqing doesn't have the idea of ​​entering the city. It's better to wait another night and wait until tomorrow day to let the people come out to watch and show off the strength of his army.

This is also an opportunity to establish a reputation and earn popular support. Wu Changqing will not miss it.

The generals did not realize Wu Changqing's wish to enter the city for the night, and all of them were a little ashamed and embarrassed, for fear that Wu Changqing would get angry because of this.

In the battle to capture Nanjing, they really didn't have much credit, and they all relied on the snipers made by Wu Changqing.

Finally Wu Changqing gave them a chance to show off their abilities, but they were not sure, and they didn't even do a good job in clearing the remnants of the enemy.

As a general, naturally I don't like a group of subordinates who are not doing well.

"Report the results of the battle."

Wu Changqing didn't take what he had said to heart, after all, it was just a casual remark. It doesn't matter if he enters the city one day earlier or one day later.

"This time our army killed more than 6,000 people from the Qing army and captured more than 31,000 enemy troops, of which 20,000 were cavalry. It also seized 20,000 war horses and 13,000 workhorses."

Hearing that more than 30,000 horses had been seized, the generals suddenly stood up.

This is a war horse. At present, the price of a war horse is about 18 taels, and a pack horse also costs 11 taels. The value of this batch of war horses alone has reached more than 500,000 taels.

Moreover, this is still the market price. Warhorses are strategic materials, basically in a state of being priceless. Not to mention such a large number, tens of thousands of horses, it is impossible to buy with money.

With these horses, they can form a cavalry that has always been strong.

If you want to go north to regain the north, the cavalry is an indispensable type of army, because the plain area in the north is too large. From Jiangbei to Beijing, there are plains. The entire North China Plain stretches for thousands of kilometers.

Although the hollow phalanx of flintlocks can restrain the cavalry, the premise is that the cavalry will attack them.

If the cavalry just wandered around the periphery by mobility, threatening the infantry at all times, it would be a very troublesome thing.

When the infantry encounters this situation, they need to stay in the formation at any time. As long as they relax for a moment, the cavalry will roar in. Without the formation of the flintlock troops, they were also killed when facing the cavalry.

But it is not easy to maintain the formation at all times. At least, you need to sleep at night, you need to camp.

In short, the cavalry is well used, and it can still compete with the flintlock army.

Moreover, Wu Changqing's flintlock troops were also small. For another decisive battle, as long as the Qing army avoided this main force and attacked other troops, Wu's army would also be very troublesome.

Therefore, the formation of cavalry is still very necessary for Wu Changqing.

I used to suffer from the lack of horses and qualified cavalry, but now both of them are already there. You only need to convince the cavalry.

But this is not easy, because the captured cavalry is almost all Manchu and Mongolian.
