    "Bang bang bang!"

    Gunshots rang out at the foot of the mountain, and the Eight Banners soldiers who were retreating into the city were knocked down by three more people who ran behind.

    This is really cutting flesh with a blunt knife. After fighting in the mountains for more than three hours, the casualties of the Qing army almost reached 200.  On average, a Datong soldier can hit an enemy with more than 40 rounds of bullets.

    However, adding up the cavalry eliminated by the hollow formation, the casualty rate on the Manchu side was close to 20%.

    It can't be all blamed on Dopoluo's poor command ability, but the lack of Manchu troops in Xiuyan City.  Moreover, there is no firearms battalion, and there is no way to deal with guerrilla flintlocks.

    Mao Wenlong has been to this poor place several times, and every time he can make Manqing so disgusted.

    ? At the beginning, the Manchu Qing allowed Han civilians to exist, and even the defenders in the city were Han soldiers and generals.  Because of Mao Wenlong's instigation against the Han people, the Manchu Qing had nothing to do with Mao Wenlong, so they retaliated against the Han people in Xiuyan City and surrounding areas.  The Han people were all used as slaves, all the livestock and food were robbed, and the garrison was replaced by Eight Banners soldiers.

    He was also afraid that there would be too many Han Chinese serfs and they would cause riots here, so he took half of the population away.

    Otherwise, with the farming conditions here, it is no problem to support 1,500 Eight Banners soldiers.

    The surrounding barriers of Xiuyan City include military strongholds such as Front Camp, Front Fort, Back Camp, and Back Fort.  The village that Yang Zhenqing first robbed was the former camp of Daming. With the sharp drop in population, it became a small village, and the perfect defense system was also destroyed by Man Qing.

    All these factors provided opportunities for Yang Zhenqing.

    "Bang bang bang!"

    More than 300 bullets were fired again, this time hitting two unlucky people who were running slowly.

    The more urgent the gunfire, the more panicked the Qing army became.

    The soldiers of the Eight Banners could still remain calm for a while, but the larger number of bannermen were already on the verge of collapse, and they only wanted to return to the city as soon as possible.

    Finally, Qi Ding began to flee!

    "Boom!"

    The artillery on the city fired suddenly, trying to cover the retreat of friendly troops.

    Yang Zhenqing had no choice but to stop chasing and rescue his teammates who had been shot and fell to the ground, and the body of the sacrificed soldier was also snatched back.  Immediately, a few miles southeast of the city, he took back the war horses he had carried the food.

    ?Leading the horses, carrying casualties and comrades on their backs, they swaggered away. They wanted to go back to the stronghold in the mountains to replenish ammunition.

    A few days later, Dopoluo received an order from Dorgon: Strictly guard Xiuyan City and not attack at will.

    Dorgon was deceived by the wrong information, and he really thought that the Datong Army sent thousands of troops.  Thousands of troops fought in the mountains for several months, so how much food would it cost? As long as Xiuyan City was defended, the Manchu Qing would be considered profitable.

    Dorgon didn't know that the Datong Army only had a few hundred people.

    Of course, supplies were also brought in, some bows and horses were added, and 50 Manchu cavalry were added.  As for the remaining vacancies, let Duopolo recruit local bannermen to fill them.

    Dorgon didn't know yet that Dopolo had suffered another defeat, otherwise he would be so angry that he would be dismissed and replaced.

    The Manchu cavalry in Xiuyan City once again reached 180, half of which were inferior horses and could only be regarded as mounted infantry.

    As for the real Manchu cavalry, they are looting on the west side of Gaizhou.

    Tens of thousands of cavalry were dispatched at a time, and there were also many dragoons trained by the Manchu Qing Dynasty.  They had to cross the river if they wanted to plunder. Gaizhou City was on the east and a bastion was on the west.

    All the villages and towns on the west side of Gaizhou were lit up with smoke everywhere, and they hid in earthen castles for defense.

    Some of the Han and Korean people failed to escape in time, and more than 800 people were taken away by Qing soldiers.  In addition, the houses of more than a dozen villages, as well as the property that the villagers did not take away, were burned by the Manchu cavalry.

    The Datong cavalry rushed to nothing, and immediately launched a retaliatory action. They took a boat to the direction of Ningjin, rescued the Hannu, killed the bannermen, and burned down the houses.

    Anyway, in the past two years, there have been no major wars, and they have all consumed each other like this.

    In addition, as early as half a year ago, the Datong Army in Baozhou, North Korea received an order from the Ministry of War.  Let them cross the Yalu River, build Dandong City near the mouth of the sea, and immigrate 10,000 Korean people in Baozhou to Dandong for reclamation.

    In the last years of Wanli, Hou Jin built wicker borders, prohibiting farming, animal husbandry, fishing, hunting and logging outside the border walls.  The fortress of the Ming army in the Dandong area was destroyed, the Han people were taken away, and the Jurchens were also forced to relocate. The Dandong area has become a barren land.

    Zhao Han was unable to immigrate to Dandong on a large scale for the time being, so he could only move the Korean people there for reclamation, and build an earthen city by the way, as a bridgehead for attacking Phoenix City.

    At the same time, more than 200 teachers, with their wives and children, were sent to Baozhou and Dandong to build schools to educate the Korean people.Press down the frame.

    By the time they lifted the ladder to the bottom, it was already dark, and there was not even a ghost on the wall.

    Five hundred soldiers climbed up one by one.

    A ladder was also crushed on the way, but it didn't matter, there was snow to cushion it when I fell.

    When all the soldiers climbed up the wall, Yang Zhenqing dispersed the team into dozens of groups, and ran from house to house to knock on the door.

    Yang Zhenqing personally went to knock on the door of the tower, where the Eight Banners Army was sitting around the stove to warm up.

    Hearing a knock on the door, someone opened the door cursing.

    The wind and snow poured in, and the knives and guns came out, leaving several corpses in the house.

    Guancheng is very small, full of family members of the defenders, and there are also some Han craftsmen who have defected to the Qing Dynasty.

    I can't control so many people who are black and blind, regardless of the Manchu and Han people, they will kill all living people.

    The closed door was also slowly opened, and the Han people who stayed in the valley to the east came over with their livestock carrying grain.  After quickly burning snow and boiling hot water to soak their feet, many people's feet were frozen stiff. There are fears that dozens of people will face the risk of toe necrosis.

    Overnight, Yang Zhenqing occupied a large area of ??Lingguan.

    No one can escape, even if there are still people who have not been killed, they will be blocked in the city and cannot get out.
