"If that's the case, then deploy a force that will make the Qing army look useless, tasteless, and a pity to abandon." Chang Yu suddenly raised his eyebrows and smiled.
"Actually, there is a heavy ambush in secret?" Tang Tong blurted out, and then his face turned red. Ningyuan didn't have enough troops, so how could it be possible to divide the troops to station a garrison a hundred miles away.
"A heavy soldier is powerless, but he can attack with a heavy punch!" Chang Yu sneered slightly and raised his fingers. Wu Sangui and Tang Tong leaned in and narrowed their eyes after listening to what he said.
The three of them were mentally prepared for the intensity of this battle once it started, but one thing everyone knew was that it would not be a protracted battle. Dorgon traveled a long distance and had insufficient food and grass. He would not waste too long on a small city and would quickly
The battle must be decided quickly. If you win, your troops will be sent to Shanhaiguan. If you lose, your troops will be withdrawn immediately.
And Chang Yu didn't have the ability to fight a protracted war. Once the Qing army was under siege and cut off foreign aid, the isolated city outside the pass was left without help, food and soldiers. How long could Xuezu kill people and eat meat on his birthday?
Therefore, it may take as long as one month or as little as half a month to see the outcome of this battle.
Both sides want a quick battle, and one can imagine how brutal it will be.
The three of them hid in the room and conspired until dark. At this time, all Tang Tong's men and horses had settled in the city. The military camp was overcrowded. In order to prevent spies, a martial law order and a city closure order were issued in the city. No one was allowed to enter or leave the city at will.
The mountain rain was about to come, and the wind filled the building. The snow seemed to have stopped, but the wind was so strong that it swept the snow foam on the face like a knife.
The streets and lanes of the city were full of refugees huddled together for warmth. Wu Sangui finally set up a porridge shack to prevent them from starving to death, but there was nothing he could do to prevent them from freezing to death.
On Chengnan Street, Chang Yu looked at the two tall archways in front of him, his eyes fixed for a long time. Wu Sangui looked at him with a complicated expression, and Tang Tong remained silent.
These two archways were built by the imperial court to commemorate the great victory of Ningyuan twenty years ago, for Zu Dashou and Zu Dalue brothers. I heard that Yuan Chonghuan's was also there at that time, but it was later pushed aside.
"Time flies by like a white horse, and the world is like a white cloud and a dog." The little eunuch sighed lowly, then went up to the tower, walked around the west gate and looked towards the west mountain, it was dark and white.
After dinner in the evening, Chang Yu returned to the governor's mansion for a short rest. When he saw Li Tiezhu hanging a sandbag for him on the beam and wrapping a cloth around the pillars, he took off his single clothes and started training like crazy.
The loud shouting actually aroused the curiosity of Tang Tong from the next courtyard. He came to visit and saw the young eunuch shirtless, with muscles all over his body bulging like iron bars. It turned out that he was so strong.
I also saw Chang Yu punching the sandbag and kicking the pillars with his legs. His speed and strength were rare in the world. I was amazed that the little eunuch was really strong and strong. Just at this time, Wu Sangui came to visit again. He was also shocked by such a high-intensity force.
His training, striking and counter-attacking abilities are all incomparable. No wonder he can make Shen Jianghu unable to fight again with a low sweep of his kick.
"General Wu, do you want to practice your skills?" The little eunuch was sweating profusely and smiled harmlessly.
Wu Sangui reached out to unbutton his coat.
Tang Tong sat down at the table, blowing on the hot tea in the cup, secretly sighing that he could have such enjoyment.
Early the next morning, Wu Sangui, wearing armor and a helmet, led his troops to patrol around the city. Sometimes he stopped on the city to look north, sometimes he went into the military camp to inspect military discipline, and sometimes he looked at the people in the streets and alleys with frowning faces. Some sharp-eyed subordinates saw bruises on his face.
I was confused but didn't dare to ask.
Tang Tong didn't take any time to go to Wufanyu early in the morning. He called it using the governor as a mirror to strengthen his body. However, he was sweating profusely and his legs were weak before he could even burn a stick of incense. He left on the pretext of inspecting the military camp.
Chang Yu soaked in the hot water as usual, and Xiao Ran came to report on the work again. Shenji camp could be reached before noon. The mountains near Zhonghousuo City were a little uneasy. Several groups of unknown cavalry were found in the north of the city, with ten to twenty people in each group.
Waiting, wandering around more than ten miles north of Ningyuan City, but not approaching yet, this was discovered by the beacon tower on the first mountain in the north of the city.
There was no peace at night in the mountains, and soon the ancestors of this industry came to deal with them. As for those unknown people, as expected they were spies of the Qing army. It seems that Dorgon's pioneers are coming soon! Chang Yu
After getting out of the water, he took a long breath and opened his eyes with murderous intent. Xiao Ran was so shocked that he couldn't help but take a step back.
"Is there anything unusual in the city?" Chang Yu asked while changing his clothes.
"Returning to the Governor, thirteen people froze to death in the city last night. Everything in the military camp is as usual, and the assassin seems to have disappeared out of thin air... My subordinates are not doing things well. Please punish me, Lord."
The little eunuch would not be punished for this, so he waved and whispered in his ear for a while, and Xiao Ran left in a hurry.
Wuzhong looked at the door in a daze: "I'll take you to sharpen the knife."
Wu Zhong stood up abruptly, his eyes glowed green, and he grinned.
"I'm looking for some armor to wear."
"No need, I have a sword in my hand, I will leave the world, no one can come within three steps" Wuzhong was so proud.
"Ma Zhan" Chang Yu rolled his eyes and curled his lips.
Wuzhong immediately lowered his head, and then let out a long sigh!
The entire city of Ningyuan is under martial law. All civilians outside the city have returned to the city. The four gates are tightly closed. No one is allowed to approach, let alone enter or exit. Violators will be killed! Even the military's detective horses and royal guards need to be verified repeatedly before they can pass.
At this time, there are only two people who can directly open the city gate and come in and out at will, Wu Sangui and Chang Yu, not even Tang Tong!
The news that Chang Yu led 20 cavalry out of the city soon reached the General Military Mansion. Wu Sangui was shocked when he heard the news and hurriedly went to the city to check, but only saw a few small black spots in the vast white wilderness to the north of the city.
A Qing army scout was spotted outside the city. It was too dangerous for him to go out at this time. Wu Sangui's face was solemn, and his brows furrowed as he looked at the black spots.
"General, do you want to send someone out of the city to meet the Lord Governor?" Shen Jianghu was disgusted with eunuchs before, but warriors respect the strong and the strong. Chang Yu has been in the city for a few days and has established his authority without showing off. On the contrary, he admires this person.
The very bloody little eunuch started to worry about his safety at this time.
Wu Sangui was silent. Since the little eunuch went out without saying hello, it was obvious that he didn't want him to interfere. But did he really not know that it was dangerous outside the city? Those Qing army scouts were extremely cruel and would kill anyone they saw.
There is no return.
Five miles north of the city, the weather was cold and windy, and everything was white. The horses' hooves were covered with snow. Chang Yu put his horse back and walked slowly, looking up at the beacon tower on the first mountain in the distance, his eyes cold.
Wuzhong wore a helmet and armor, holding a rein in his left hand, a spear in his right hand, and his ever-present long knife on his back. His eyes swept around the wilderness and landed on the little eunuch: "Why did the governor abandon the sword?"
lance".
"In a one-on-one battle on horseback, it takes a lot of effort to use a sword, but a long spear can be held with one hand, and the enemy has many armors. It is difficult to hurt with a knife, and it is not as sharp as a spear or spear. However, if you fight in a group or the opponent wears heavy armor, you can still use a long knife."
"It's better to attack." Li Tiezhu couldn't help complaining: "I've told you several times and I still keep asking."
"If you feel that you are comfortable with the sword, then you can use the sword, but if you hold the sword with both hands and let go of the horse's rein, can you do it with your riding skills?" Chang Yu sneered, and Wuzhong shut up.
The group of people set off their horses and headed north. After passing Shoushan and walking a few miles, they arrived at the mountain pass. Chang Yu knew that after crossing the mountain road for more than ten miles, they reached Huludao.
