Chang Yu's loud voice made the city quiet for a moment, but then it became agitated.
"Supervisor, Supervisor, this is a humble duty..." Two cavalrymen from the city jumped out of the safety line and went straight to the city gate. Just as the soldiers at the top of the city were about to draw their bows, they were immediately stopped by Wu Sangui.
Sure enough, the two cavalrymen at the foot of the city were Tu Yuan and Jia Waixiong, who had weathered faces. They held torches and shined their faces. Chang Yu saw clearly and opened the door with a loud roar!
The city gate opened and Chang Yu rushed down to the city. Wu Sangui and Tang Tong looked at each other in the city. What background did these two people have that made the little eunuch so excited? They looked quite big. Could it be that they were eunuchs in the palace again!
"I have met the governor in my humble position." Tu Yuan, Jia Waixiong, and Kuang Ren entered the city and dismounted. When they saw Chang Yu, they quickly saluted.
"Good guy, he's still so strong." Chang Yu went up and punched Tu Yuan directly. Tu Yuan didn't move at all, but he himself almost dodges. Wuzhong's brows suddenly narrowed behind him.
"The governor's fists are getting harder and harder, I'm afraid my subordinates will suffer internal injuries." Tu Yuan, with his rough skin and thick flesh, chuckled as he touched the place where Chang Yu punched him.
"Who did you learn that glib tone from?" Chang Yu scolded with a smile, "Is this going smoothly?"
Running thousands of miles, regardless of wind or snow, nearly three hundred horses rode non-stop day and night. The hardships can be imagined. The little eunuch was deeply moved. More importantly, Tu Yuan and Jia Waixiong were his left shoulder and right arm.
With people on the side, no matter how powerful the Qing army is, there is nothing to fear. As for Kuang Ren, with his sharp archers by his side, the security is even higher.
In the middle of the greetings, Wu Sangui and Tang Tong went to the city. Chang Yu introduced them, Tu Yuan and Jia Waixiong, and Kuang Ren hurried to see them.
Wu and Tang were deeply surprised and curious to learn that they were the young eunuch's powerful generals and personal bodyguards.
Jia Waixiong's two hundred elite cavalry were carefully selected from the Jinwu Guards. They had performed well in the Taiyuan Battle. At this time, they were transferred to Ningyuan to fight alongside the Gongzi Camp. As soon as they entered the city, they were placed in the military camp. The young eunuch immediately ordered
Kill the six injured horses of the Qing army to reward them.
This made Wu Sangui and Tang Tong sigh. Sure enough, they were direct relatives, but their treatment was different.
Kuang Ren's accompanying fifty archers were placed in the governor's mansion. They were responsible for Chang Yu's security, and they needed a good rest after a long journey.
The banquet was held again at the General Military Mansion, and hot soup and dishes were served. Tu Yuan, Jia Waixiong, and Kuang Ren devoured their food. From time to time, they chatted with the little eunuch and heard what they heard. The four of them laughed and made a fuss when they talked about something interesting.
Wu Sangui and Tang Tong stared at each other, completely ignored.
The little eunuch actually had such a side, fighting as brothers with his subordinates, laughing and dancing like children at times, yet he still had the majesty of the governor of the East Factory who kills without blinking an eye.
The laughter soon stopped. The person Wu Sangui sent to the beacon tower to verify the military situation had returned with a message. Judging from the light of the fire, it was estimated that the Qing army should have more than 5,000 troops. They were stationed at Gelizi Mountain at this time. A spy had been sent for the specific details.
Go for a low-down reconnaissance.
Gelizi Mountain is located more than ten miles north of Huludao and Tashan Fort. After the Songjin Battle, Huang Taiji ordered the destruction of Song, Xing and Tashan Forts. Otherwise, the Qing army would not be able to station in the barren mountains.
Five thousand troops were the vanguard of the Qing army. It seemed that Dorgon was extremely cautious. The large army's baggage was mostly hampered by wind and snow, and the situation was unclear, so he sent a vanguard to check on the spot, and he was able to arrive at such a fast speed.
There is no doubt that they are cavalry.
The cavalry army of the Qing Dynasty was invincible, and it swept across the border and was invincible.
Since they are pioneers, they should mainly control the current situation and find out the situation. Even if the Qing army does not pay attention to the Ming army at all, the situation is complicated at this time and they must be cautious. In addition to the long journey, Chang Yu and Wu Sangui speculated that one or two
This vanguard army will not move arbitrarily in the next few days, but will send people to contact them.
I am destined to have no sleep tonight.
Wu Sangui ordered the city to be on first-level alert, and all generals under his command were on duty. There should be no letdown on the city, in the military camp, or inside the city.
War horses neighed in the Qing army camp at the foot of Gelizi Mountain. The soldiers were resting and recuperating. The patrol team did not dare to be careless on the three floors inside and outside. The lights were brightly lit in the big tent in the middle of the camp.
Inside the tent, Abatai sat in the middle. Although he had the lowest title, he was the senior among the other three, not to mention that Dorgon appointed him as the leader of this group.
At this time, Hauge, Nikan and Luo Luohun were sitting separately, frowning like Abatai, listening to Tan Ma's report.
The more I listen, the more confused I become.
There was indeed a battle at Shanhaiguan. The three nearby mountains knew that Gaodi had rebelled, so they defeated Wu Sangui's men and fled back to Ningyuan City.
But what is puzzling is that after a few days of investigation, the spies discovered that several waves of defeated troops retreated into Ningyuan City. Wu Sangui had so many troops? What could be happening with Ningyuan City Wall being frozen and several trenches in the north of the city?
The only thing that made them feel at ease and proud was that the Ming army's first spies who arrived for investigation did not kill them, but at most drove them away. It seemed that Wu Sangui had given the order.
The army arrived soon after, and the situation was unclear at the moment. As a vanguard, he had to find out the situation as quickly as possible. Wu Sangui was confused about what was true and what was false for a while. Abatai and others discussed and decided to send a group of troops to Ningyuan City tomorrow.
Contact Wu Sangui directly to find out the truth.
Just who to send?
Hauge enthusiastically recommended himself, but Nikan refused to give in. Only Luo Luohun did not express his position, perhaps because he was the youngest and was too embarrassed to compete with his two uncles for credit.
Luo Luohun was the second son of Yue Tuo, who was the eldest son of Dai Shan.
Although Daishan was always suppressed by Huang Taiji because of his elder age, he was depressed and did nothing, but his descendants were all very promising, and they were famous generals with great achievements in the Qing Dynasty.
Needless to say, the eldest son Yue Tuo died five years ago. His son Shuo Tuo was executed last year for helping Dorgon fight for the throne. The third son Saharin deserved the most respect and trust because he supported Huang Taiji and became emperor.
He died of illness early in the morning. Huang Taiji mourned and took more care of his children. For example, he wanted to vigorously cultivate his eldest son Adali, but because Saharin was too good, Huang Taiji always felt that the father of a tiger was like a dog. No matter how he looked at it, he felt that Adali was supported by mud.
Not on the wall.
So he always reprimanded Adali more, which caused Adali's rebellious heart. In the end, the two disliked each other and became like enemies. Therefore, when Dorgon and Haoge competed for the throne, Adali was obligated to support Dorgon together with his uncle Shuotuo.
Ergon was eventually killed together.
But Luo Luohun and his grandfather Daishan had the same goal. Although Huang Taiji suppressed him back then, he didn't want Dorgon to become emperor, so he stepped back and let Fulin take the throne.
But from Dorgon's perspective, if you don't support me, you are against me.
Therefore, although this menacing vanguard cavalry has impeccable combat power, its generals are at odds with each other and have their own agendas.
"Luo Luohun, you go tomorrow"
After much deliberation, Abatais left the opportunity to Luo Luohun, the youngest.
Nikan and Yue Tuo looked at each other, sneered and sat down.
