Chapter 449: Capture Hetuala City
During the Yaoziling battle, more than 100,000 main forces of Jiannu were wiped out, and Huang Taiji had worked hard to accumulate several years of power to destroy it.
Even Huang Taiji himself became a prisoner of the Imperial Guards, and countless other powerful people died in this battle.
It can be said that since then, the Imperial Guards recovered Shengjing City and occupied Hetulala, and could complete the great cause of eliminating the Jiannu power without any surprise.
However, although there was no suspense to destroy the Jiannu forces, in order to avoid the remnants of Jiannu forces as much as possible and to completely eliminate the Jiannu forces once and for all, Lu Xiangsheng still used his mind and ordered that except for the Third Army of the Imperial Guards continue to advance to Shengjing City along the direction of Guangning City, the other three armies immediately rushed to Hetuara City and first controlled all the Qing princes and ministers who had moved to Hetuara.
To avoid these Qing Dynasty princes and ministers from taking the opportunity to escape, and then there will be some unnecessary storms.
But perhaps it was because the selfish Haoge deliberately wanted to conceal the news that Huang Taiji had been surrounded by the Imperial Guards or even defeated, and perhaps it was indeed far from the geographical distance. The Imperial Guards annihilated Huang Taiji's main force too quickly, which led to Jirgalang, who was responsible for defending Hetulala at this time, still did not know the exact news about Huang Taiji. He now only knew that a large number of Imperial Guards rushed to the south.
This also led to Jiergalang not having time to support the young prince Ye Ershu to the throne, but he seemed to have a premonition of something wrong. He has also begun to meet Bumubutai frequently in the past few days, discussing how to deal with Huang Taiji if he has any mistakes.
But what Jirgalang would not have thought was that at this time nearly 100,000 troops were coming to Hetuara City, while Jirgalang was still worried that Hauge would get any news about Huang Taiji in advance and make some big moves before him.
"Prince Zhuang is extremely worried that no matter what the whereabouts of Emperor Longsheng, he must prepare to let Yersh inherit the throne. If Haoge takes the lead, you and I will have no good results. You will pass on my imperial decree to call all the princes and ministers in Hetuara City, and say that there is something important to us to discuss with them." After listening to Jirhalang's remarks, Bumubute agreed to Jirhalang's proposal to get Yersh first to get the support of a group of princes and ministers to become the crown prince.
However, just as the two were discussing the matter, Taijibolo hurriedly ran in: "Report to Prince Zhuang and the Empress, a large number of Ming troops were found ten miles away from Hetuara City, and they had blocked the entire Hetuara way!"
"What!"
Bumubutai stood up first. Although she had always been a hero among women, she became a little panicked at this time and hurriedly glanced at Jiergalang.
Jirgalang understood and hurriedly bowed: "I'll go and see first. Ruoming army has really come to my city of Hetuara. Please prepare early."
...
At this time, Oboi was the first to stand outside the city of Hetulala. His mood was quite complicated at this time because he also came out of this city and was once a member of it.
But now he has become the enemy of these Tartars and has even become enemies of each other. A few years ago, he learned from the Jinyiwei that his family had been sentenced to death by Huang Taiji.
Like Oboi, Chang Yanling also looked at the city of Hetuara with covetous eyes. As a general who had been influenced by the emotions of countless ethnic groups in the Royal Military Academy, Chang Yanling naturally knew what the occupation of Hetuara symbolized.
"The artillery has been fully in place, Chang Dahuzi, you can give orders." Lu Xiangyu walked over and patted Chang Yanling on the shoulder.
Among the three generals of the Imperial Guards responsible for attacking Hetulala City, Chang Yanling had the highest official position, and Lu Xiangsheng was not there, so he was responsible for the temporary command.
Since Chang Yanling entered the Royal Military Academy and drank some ink, he loved reading the Three Kingdoms. Among the Three Kingdoms, he liked Guan Yu the most, so he also learned from Guan Yu to grow a beard, but he was nicknamed Chang Da Beard by other generals of the Imperial Guard.
Chang Yanling was not angry at all because of Lu Xiangyu's name, but he didn't laugh. He just nodded seriously and looked at the pocket watch in his hand (produced by Royal Industrial Company), and then said, "The cannon can be fired. After the city is broken, Obai, you lead the cavalry to rush into the palace quickly. Lu Xiangyu, you lead the headquarters to enter the city to clean up the Tartars in the city. Our headquarters is responsible for occupying the major city gates. In short, there is only one requirement, that is, no Tartars must be let go! Capture Bumubutai alive!"
After Chang Yanling was arranged, a white phosphorus bomb hit Yunxiao, and suddenly, countless shells poured towards Hetuara City.
Jirgalang, who had just arrived at the Hetulala City Tower, couldn't help but shiver. Seeing countless shells spraying with black smoke coming at a rapid speed and instantly blowing up the city wall, he couldn't help but fall to the ground and cried: "It's over, it's over now. Go and tell the Empress, we can't hold on anymore, and we must escape quickly!"
Just as Jirgalang finished shouting like this, a loud bang came from the downstairs, and the city gate weighing several tons collapsed directly to the ground.
Suddenly, the deafening shouts of killing rushed in with a large number of imperial guards.
Jirgalang did not go to fight against the enemy, nor was he shouting anything, but he would wipe his neck by snatching the knife from the guards' hands, but just as he was about to wipe it, a bullet directly hit his palm and left his bloody arms.
"It's not that easy to die. Take him down, and the rest of the people will continue to catch Bumubutai alive with me!"
Jirgalang looked at the man without his left arm and was stunned for a moment, then muttered: "Obai."
Jirgalang was taken outside the city, and just when he was taken outside the city, Lu Xiangyu's Fourth Army had already rushed in. The Fourth Army's mission was to eliminate the Tartars, so as soon as he entered the city, he began to shoot at the Tartars in the city.
Within an hour, the entire Hetulala became a sea of blood.
At this time, Chang Yanling's First Army had also controlled various exits of Hetulala, and even drew a brigade of troops to Bumubutai and a place where the Qing Dynasty's powerful people gathered.
Bumubutai was surrounded by Oboi's imperial guards before she could escape. However, when she saw Oboi, she did not show any grief and anger. Instead, she pretended to be pitiful and said in tears: "I am just a woman with a humble status and can do nothing to deal with the thief with her own life. I also asked General Ao to be kind and righteous, spare my life, and I am willing to be the general's slave."
"Stop talking nonsense! Where are Huang Taiji's sons and grandchildren?"
Oboi couldn't help asking.
Bumubutai said in a very cooperative manner: "Bring them all."
Suddenly, Oboi saw several Tartars pulling up a group of children tied up with ropes. The oldest was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and the youngest had just learned to walk.
"These are all the children and grandchildren of Huang Taiji."
