Seeing that this group of people was getting closer and closer, only two miles away from the entrance of the valley but showing no signs of stopping, everyone became nervous.
"Superintendent, kill them!" Tu Yuan saw that the opponent only had more than fifty riders, so he had an idea. He reached out to summon Kuang Ren and asked him to mobilize his subordinates, and use fifty archers to surprise them and kill them.
It is not difficult to recruit troops.
Chang Yu grabbed Kuang Ren who was about to mobilize people, stared at the group of cavalry and shook his head gently: "If you kill this group of cavalry, your whereabouts will be exposed. This group of people is not like a horse scout. There can be at most twenty people in one group.
”.
If the Tan Ma were killed, it would be normal for them to go out to collect intelligence and not return to the camp for several days. Therefore, the group of Tan Ma killed in Mohu Mountain had not yet attracted the attention of the Qing army, otherwise Abatai and Hauge would have smelled something.
.
But this group of people were obviously out to show off. If they didn't return to camp for an hour at most, they would attract attention. What's more, there were other patrol posts around the camp during the day. Once they took action, they would definitely be alerted. At that time, the ambush soldiers from Gongzi Camp would be
Exposed, all plans were in vain.
Two miles passed in a blink of an eye, and a Qing army team of more than fifty people rode their horses through the snow and headed straight for the entrance of the valley. The people on the horses were not making all kinds of shouts, sometimes like chirping, like beasts roaring, sometimes laughing loudly,
Little did they know that there were four or five Ming soldiers nesting in the weeds 200 meters away from them.
Tu Yuan and Jia Waixiong were a little out of control, and whispered in the little eunuch's ears, "Let's do it, let's do it..."
Chang Yu stared at the group of people. There were more rocks and thorns at the entrance of the valley. They slowed down a bit. They were lingering at the entrance of the valley talking about something, as if they were discussing whether to enter the valley.
Don't come, don't come, Chang Yu secretly prayed. He didn't want to lose a big deal for a small sum, but if these people really entered the valley, they would have to shoot them to hide their tracks.
So he secretly ordered Kuang Ren to return to the valley and prepare his men to ambush him.
The Qing army team finally decided to enter the valley. The group of people rode slowly closer and closer. The distance of tens of meters allowed Chang Yu and others who were lurking in the grass to see each other's faces clearly.
"I feel like he is a small boss, look at how powerful he is." Li Tiezhu glanced at a young strong man in the team with a look of disdain on his face.
That's why he couldn't kill, but it seemed he had to kill. Chang Yu sighed and ordered Tu Yuan and others to prepare. Once this group of people enters the valley, they will be shot by Kuang Ren's men. They will immediately cut off and block the entrance of the valley.
Don't let anyone go.
Fifty meters, thirty meters, twenty meters, ten meters... These Qing troops were right in front of them. They were laughing and looking around for traces of prey at the entrance of the valley, but they didn't know that there were weeds at the edge of the valley more than ten meters away from them.
Hidden in the snow caves were several Ming soldiers who were full of murderous intent but did not dare to take a breath.
Suddenly, this group of Qing soldiers who were only one step away from the mouth of the valley raised their eyes and looked eastward, then immediately rode straight to the east.
Huh... the little eunuchs took a long breath. They were so nervous that their palms were sweating.
"Damn, you escaped!" Chang Yu muttered, but he didn't know who he was talking about, this Qing army team or them.
But a few days later, when he saw the young leader again, he immediately slapped himself several times. Wu Sangui and Tang Tong were so shocked that they didn't know what was going on with him.
If Chang Yu knew at this time that the little leader in front of him was the famous general Nikan in the Qing army, he would of course go crazy and kill him frantically. Killing one general can be compared to thousands of troops!
The only reason why Nikan escaped under his nose was because they were ignorant. Even if Wu Sangui's family general Wu Zhao was around at this time, he could guess from the military uniform that this Qing army leader had a great background.
It is a pity that the young eunuch and the few confidants around him have never interacted with the Qing army.
It is a pity that Wu Zhao is lurking in the valley at this time.
It's a pity that this big fish, Nikan, slipped away right under your nose.
The embarrassing thing is that the little eunuch is still glad that he is gone.
The Qing army squad suddenly left in front of them. The young eunuch and others breathed a sigh of relief, but then they were curious about what seduced them away.
With a glance, Jia Waixiong burrowed out of the valley mouth among the weeds, then hid behind a rock and stuck his head out to look east. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and then returned to Chang Yu: "Supervisor, Qing Army
The whole team has returned to camp."
It seems that Wu Sangui didn't find the right time. Chang Yu frowned and thought for a while, then looked up at the sky. The sun was looming among the clouds, and it was almost noon.
A few people sneaked back into the valley, and the soldiers were eating. The dry food was mixed with snow. Whoever eats it knows the taste.
Marching and fighting is not as comfortable as going out and hunting. It is common to eat and sleep in the open. If an army can't even endure this kind of hardship, how can we expect them to fight hard? What's more, they are performing an extremely important mission at this time.
Now is the time to hone these royal soldiers who are used to being carefree and teach them what is a real soldier and what is a real war.
Chang Yu and several of his confidants hid in a rock crack to take shelter from the wind. After a secret discussion, they immediately sent people back to Ningyuan City to report to Wu Sangui. In the afternoon, they looked for an opportunity to provoke Abatai into action. If there was really no chance, they would attack the camp at night!
Otherwise, I'm afraid it will be even harder after tonight.
Firstly, the soldiers' food rations and the harsh cold environment made it difficult to last another night. Secondly, Dorgon's army was getting closer and closer and might reach the ground at any time. If we didn't take action, we might lose the chance.
After noon, Wu Sangui, who was discussing matters with Tang Tong after tea and dinner in the General Military Mansion, began to look solemn after receiving the message from Chang Yu.
It is best to let the Qing army march out in full force and attack front and rear in the valley. Secondly, the Qing army sends out half the camp. Once the rest of the Qing army comes to rescue, Chang Yu attacks from the side.
Although the little eunuch lightly asked him to seek an opportunity to anger Abatai, this so-called "opportunity" was actually to kill Luo Luohun!
Killing Luo Luohun can indeed anger Abatai, but will he really send troops to avenge Ronaldinho immediately? After hearing the news that Ronaldinho was killed, although it will anger him, it will also give him
He sounded an alarm: The Ming army must have some agenda!
Maybe he would wait for a few days to wait for Dorgon's army to arrive before sending troops to besiege the city.
It seems that this "seeking opportunity" is not a good move and may backfire, causing the Qing army to be more vigilant.
However, the current situation is as serious as the little eunuch said. The ambush cannot last too long. Dorgon's main army is getting closer and closer, and the situation is imminent!
Wu Sangui was a little anxious. Tang Tong was his deputy. I would do whatever you asked me to do. But the most I could do was give suggestions. Although the young eunuch had the right to make decisions, he was lurking in the wild valley, passing on messages over and over again.
It's a waste of time. They don't have that much time to waste. It's up to him to decide what happens now.
Just when Wu Sangui was unsure, someone came to report that a cavalry force of about 4,000 people had come out of Shanhaiguan and was approaching the central rear post.
Whose troops? Wu Sangui and Tang Tong looked confused.
"It looks like a soldier, like a bandit, like a civilian, like a thief. I can't see why. I ask forward, but I can't explain clearly. I just say that the governor of Feng is coming tomorrow to support Ningyuan."
Upon hearing this, Wu Sangui and Tang Tong suddenly realized that it was him who was here.
"General Tang, there are spectators here now. It would be embarrassing if we failed in this play!" Wu Sangui smiled bitterly.
Tang Tong also had a wry smile on his face: "Then try your best to sing this great drama well, and make it more lively so that the guests can enjoy themselves."
Big drama? Wu Sangui raised his eyebrows first, then relaxed them, with a sneer on his face: "Then let's make it big!"
