They finally leaned into the North Gate with this tactic. But when they broke down a barricade, they found that there were very few people guarding the barricade behind them! This was completely unreasonable! And the soldiers who climbed up the roof reported that they had seen a large number of soldiers gathered in front of the North Gate, and they seemed to be blocking the city gate and did not want people outside the city to come in.

The staff officer was moved when he heard this and said to the officer leading the team: "I'll touch it by myself first. You can arrange someone to attack the barricade and follow me!"

After saying that, he took off his plate armor and threw away his helmet despite the opposition of the officer in charge. He jumped over the barricade and ran forward quickly, then turned to the right and entered the alley and disappeared!

The staff officer rushed north through the alley. It was not that no one noticed him, but that he looked like a broken soldier in his Ming army uniform, and no one paid attention to him. He asked him to bypass two barricades and reach the front of the last barricade. Not far behind the barricade was the open space in front of the North City Gate. But strangely, the soldiers here gathered at the city gate.

The officer lay behind the barricade and poked his head out carefully. He found that no one paid attention to him at all. He simply climbed over the barricade and walked towards the crowd.

After he walked dozens of steps and approached the crowd, he realized that his arrival did not attract others' attention. In fact, it was not that no one saw him, but his Ming army outfit did not arouse the suspicion of the soldiers. They just glanced at him and turned their attention to the city gate.

After approaching the city gate, the staff officer discovered that the city gate hole blocked by these hundreds of soldiers was a group of Qing cavalry! Moreover, the swords and guns of both sides were unsheathed, pointing at each other! It seemed that the two sides had been confronting each other for a while.

The staff officer and actor looked at it, but they couldn't see how many people there were in these Qing troops? Anyway, the city gate was full of blockages, and the people outside couldn't see how many people there were.

At this time, the staff officer heard someone in the Qing army say in blunt Chinese: "I say it last time, you can retreat quickly! The reinforcements will arrive soon, and you will be treated as rebels!"

After a moment of silence among the Ming army, someone said in a hesitant voice: "We have not received the order to let you enter the city,

Then you can’t go in!”

The Qing army officer said again: "This is the order of the prince! You have long been the soldiers of my Qing Dynasty. How can you not obey the order of the prince? Retreat quickly!"

Someone in the crowd whispered, "You can't retreat! Everyone said they were coming to burn the city, but I don't know if it's true or false?"

Another whispered: "Don't even know where these officials have gone? What should we do?"

Someone said, "Or let's get out of the way! Now we are all considered Qing army! Although we haven't changed our clothes yet, we have to let others care!"

Someone immediately refuted him and said, "But what should they do if they really want to burn the city? My mother is all in the city!"

Just as the Ming soldiers were discussing quietly, there was another sound of horse hooves from afar outside the city, and it sounded quite a lot! The staff officer looked up and saw the Qing soldiers with joy on their faces. It seemed that their reinforcements were about to arrive!

And those Guanning soldiers who were unwilling to give way were anxious! If the enemy's reinforcements arrived, the Guanning soldiers who had already shaken themselves might make way. Once the Qing army really came to burn the city, as long as they raised fire in the city, it would be difficult to control!

The staff officer was also very anxious. He had to delay time and wait for reinforcements to arrive! So he yelled loudly after thinking for a moment: "Brothers! Block the city gate, and you must not let them in! They are here to set fire to the city. Look, the back of their horses' butts are filled with tinder oil bags!"

He shouted, and the Guanning soldiers looked at the Qing army one after another. The cave in the city gate was very dark, but it was not difficult to see clearly that there was indeed a leather bag on the war horses!

The staff officer knew that the leather bag was actually filled with water, and he didn't know whether it was filled with tincture oil! But once people doubted it, they would naturally continue to doubt it! What's more, the water bag was filled with tincture oil!

The Qing army officer who was said to have changed color. He shook the whip and said loudly: "Who said it? Stand out! He was in the pocket of Mingming drinking horses!"

The staff officer knew that he could never be soft at this time, so he hid in the crowd.

Zhong shouted loudly: "Who are you lying to? Your camp is not far outside! At such a close distance, there is no need to fill a bulging water bag! It must be filled with tiny oil!"

The Qing army officer did not dare to defend himself, so he continued to shout: "Who is talking nonsense? Stand out!"

At this time, the sound of horse hooves outside the city was closer. The staff officer dared not drag it down any longer, because once the reinforcements outside the city approached, he might not be able to block the city gate!

Then he shouted loudly: "Brothers, search the guys and block them! Don't let them set fire to the city! Our mother is all in the city!"

After saying that, he pulled out the short gun at his waist and pulled the trigger at the Qing army officer! With the sound of the gunshot, the Qing army officer fell down from the horse!

At this time, the situation was extremely chaotic! The Guanning Army soldiers who were still watching all reacted with the gunshot and they had completely met the Qing army!

The Qing army was shocked and angry! They didn't expect that someone would really shoot! So in anger, they didn't know how the short gun in their hands came from, and immediately slashed over!

The place where the two sides confronted each other immediately became the front line of the fight! However, this time the Qing army suffered a great loss! They rode on the horse without speed and stood in the city gate hole and could not use it. In a flash, five or six people were stabbed down by the spear of subconscious counterattack! The jumping war horse even stopped the soldiers behind from coming forward!

Taking this opportunity, the staff officer shouted loudly: "Form a formation! Form a formation! The spearmen stepped forward and sealed the city gate hole, so that they would not rush out!"

The Guanning Army soldiers who had no backbone subconsciously obeyed his command. Dozens of spearmen gathered together and arranged dense gun arrays to block the city gate!

The other Qing soldiers in the city gate had already jumped off their horses and rushed over with weapons! But just a few of them rushed over and had no use, and soon they fell under the gun array!
Chapter completed!
