The General Military Mansion was in chaos, and the inner palace was in a state of chaos.
Dorgon always felt like he was in a dream, because he really couldn't imagine seeing the great eunuch of Mingting in his yard, until the severe pain caused by that shot made him clearly realize the reality, he had been here
, and even hurt himself.
Chang Yu's shot did hit Dorgon, but it missed the vital point. It only penetrated the right arm, but it also scared Dorgon out of his wits. Moreover, penetrating injuries are very dangerous these days, even if they are not vital.
Improper handling can also endanger lives.
However, the pain and fear caused by the gunshot wound were far less shocking than the scene when Chang Yu appeared in front of him. Dorgon could not imagine or understand it, so he was very angry now, very angry.
"We must catch that eunuch dog." He repeated this sentence countless times. Even when the military doctor was trying to stop the bleeding and bandage the wound, he still waved his right arm and roared, seemingly feeling no pain.
Fan Wencheng and others were equally as shocked as him. Chang Yu's appearance was unexpected and unimaginable, but it really happened!
The Ming army outside turned out to be to support him! Fan Wencheng was the first to figure out this key, and Dorgon suddenly realized that all the seemingly inexplicable actions of the Ming army in the past few days were actually to provide cover for the eunuch leader!
Immediately, he ordered the army to leave the city. They must encircle and annihilate the Ming army outside the city. At the same time, they sealed the city to arrest Chang Yu and others. Once the city gate was closed, he did not believe that Chang Yu really had wings or had dug a tunnel early.
Unless...unless he escapes from the city first!
But is this possible?
Turge felt that the possibility was unlikely. When Chang Yu climbed over the wall, he had already ordered his personal guards to go to each city gate to announce the closure of the city.
Even if he escapes, he must be captured! No matter life or death! Dorgon roared hysterically, and then asked his personal guards to strictly check where the two people got in, and they would be on duty at whichever door they came in from.
The guards will all be executed!
It has to be said that Turge's side reacted very quickly, but Chang Yu's side was even faster. After climbing over the wall and leaving the General Military Mansion, he hit the horse and ran towards the west city, galloping all the way without any delay or sloppiness.
.
As for why you want to run to West City?
To the south is the mountain, and beyond the mountain is Songshan City. To the north and east are enemy-occupied areas. You will be surrounded as far as you can run. You can only go west, and then run south along the Xiaoling River to the Nuerhe River.
, you can run to Tashan Fort.
The most important thing is that there is someone here to help!
It was almost noon, the wind and snow were charming, and there were few pedestrians on the street. The four horses galloped and soon approached the West City. Seeing the West City Gate open in the distance, several people secretly relaxed in their hearts. They whipped up their whips and speeded up. In the blink of an eye, they reached the city gate.
.
There were dozens of Qing soldiers pacing across the city gate with solemn expressions, looking inside and outside from time to time.
Because it's so restless today.
Not long after the city gate was opened in the early morning, several groups of reconnaissance riders came in and out one after another. The atmosphere suddenly became tense. The guards asked curiously and learned that there was a Ming army attacking outside the city. They were told to take strict precautions and be ready at any time.
Preparation for closing.
As for why not close the city gate immediately?
Because it's not necessary.
It's not like a large army is coming to attack the city, it's just an enemy force harassing them, and it's still several miles outside the city. It doesn't matter if they don't get close, and our own soldiers and horses have to go in and out, so closing the door will ruin things!
Why is the Ming army so bold? It is said that there are only a few hundred horses. You can just go to Xingshan and have fun outside Songshan City. How dare you go to Jinzhou City and shout in front of the tigers? I don’t know that there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.
Well, you can tear them into pieces at any time!
While the guards were talking in the city cave, Chang Yu's four riders rushed over. This made the city gate guards confused about the situation for a moment. When they wanted to stop them, the four riders were already in front of them. Wang Zhengnan repeated his old trick and said, "Get away."
, asked the guard to dodge quickly, and after he rushed over, he cursed in a low voice, "Did you die, you are in such a hurry."
Of course, Chang Yu and the others were fooled into troubled waters. Although the guards saw that they were not wearing military uniforms, had neither rat tail braids, nor Manchu and Qing hair accessories, they saw that they were menacing and arrogant.
Boss spoke in Manchu again. Although he had doubts in his heart, he didn't have time to think about it, so he let them rush out in a majestic manner.
While he was cursing, he saw several horses running from a distance, shouting something. It was too far away and the wind and snow were heavy to hear clearly, but it aroused the suspicion of the guards, who drew their swords and prepared to intercept them.
Seeing that there were dozens more riding horses rushing towards them after those few, I knew something bad was going on.
"Catch up with the four riders at the front. They are assassins. They are assassins. Let the front door close..."
When the knights approached, they finally heard what they were shouting and saw clearly that they were one of their own. They were frightened and hurried to close the city gate. The knights rushed forward and yelled angrily: "Who allowed it?"
Those of you who have closed the door should quickly open the door and chase the people in front..."
The guards were so angry that they were scolded. Damn it, you were the ones who told the door to be closed, and now... But they also realized that those riders in front were no longer good people, so they quickly opened the door again and let the soldiers out.
Got to the city.
But after this blockage, Chang Yu's four riders have passed through Wengcheng and arrived at the city gate. They only need to rush out of this gate to escape!
There are also dozens of Qing troops and several war horses in the city gate cave, presumably for the purpose of quickly transmitting emergency information. The guards here are the first post entering the city and the last line of defense out of the city. It is of great importance.
The soldiers were also very excited. In today's situation, these people were quite cautious. They saw the four cavalry rushing forward and saw that their outfits were different. They were about to intercept them when Wang Zhengnan came again. Get away!
The guards were startled, and the four cavalrymen had already rushed into the doorway.
"You are..." the leader of the defenders frowned. Although this group of people was powerful, they had too many doubts, such as being covered in blood, so he mustered up the courage to shout: "No order..."
"How dare you stop the people from the General Military Mansion?" Chang Yu shouted, reached out and took out his waist badge, and waved it in the man's face!
This badge was given to him by Zhang Zhong, and it was how he got into the General Military Mansion. It had the full text of the General Military Mansion on it. The leader saw it and waved to let him go. Although he was still doubtful, there were still Han people in the General Military Mansion.
guard?
That's because he didn't see the small word "Servant" on the token in Chang Yu's hand. This is the badge used by the servants in the General Military Mansion.
It's not that he didn't see it, it was Chang Yu who held it.
At this time, the pursuers from behind had arrived at the city gate. Fortunately, the city gate and the urn gate were not in a straight line, so the guards in the doorway did not see the situation of the city gate inside. Otherwise, Chang Yuhu would not have been so easily defeated.
Got it done.
"Hey, you're not..." Just when the leader signaled for permission and Chang Yu and the others were about to leave, a Qing soldier suddenly pointed at Chang Yu with a face of shock and confusion. Chang Yu glanced sideways, good guy, this is not it.
When he first entered the city a few days ago, was that the guard who checked him?
Although he was dressed differently from last time and even wore a slight disguise, he was still recognized by the guard.
Actually, the guard didn't recognize him yet. He just thought he looked familiar. He pointed at him in surprise, but the leader became suspicious and asked, "Who is he?"
"Your ancestor" Wuzhong yelled, raised his sword and slashed the guard to death. Seeing this, Chang Yu and the others did not care about anything else and drew their swords to cut. The Qing army was in chaos and hurriedly avoided, and the four cavalry took the opportunity to rush out.
The defenders who reacted immediately chased out. However, the two legs could not catch up with the four-legged ones. After running for tens of meters, they ran out of breath and looked at the four riders disappearing in the wind and snow. They were shouting curses. Just as they were cursing vigorously, someone behind them came.
The sound of horse hoofbeats was rapid, and a group of dozens of cavalrymen chased them out of the city. When they passed by, they waved their whips and whipped them wildly. The faces of several Qing soldiers who could not escape immediately became red and swollen, and they screamed in pain.
What a bunch of trash! The people immediately yelled and walked away.
The city gate guards were hacked to death in vain, and several of them were whipped by their own people, but they dared not speak out in anger. They returned to their posts angrily. Before they had finished disposing of the corpses, they saw a large group of Qing troops coming.
After leaving the city, I roughly counted four to five hundred people, but the guard at the head recognized him as Ta Zhan, the Minister of Internal Affairs!
When Chang Yu entered the mansion to assassinate Ta Zhan, he originally ordered him to mobilize troops with Turge to kill the Ming army outside the city. However, he was going to the military camp to raise troops, and Turge was a step late and caught up with him.
Chang Yu took action.
The deployment of troops and generals cannot be done immediately. Ta Zhan was delayed in the military camp for a while and received the news as soon as he sent the troops out of the camp. Without saying a word, he chased after them, but they were still a little slower. There were even people who were faster than them.
, that is, the dozens of cavalry pursuers following Chang Yu were actually no one else, but the patrol they encountered when they left the city just now. Although they were temporarily deceived and sneaked in, they still made the other party suspicious.
Just at this time, I met the messenger again, saying that an assassin had escaped...

Good guy, aren't these those people? So I quickly chased after them, but I was also a step too slow.
Just one step allowed Chang Yu and others to escape!
