"It's a trap from beginning to end, it's just a trap... This king has fallen into the trap." In the commander's tent of the army camp, Dorgon was lying on the couch with a pale face, pointing at the tent roof with trembling hands and roaring with gritted teeth.
He was so angry that he fainted and fell off his horse. His attendants hurriedly sent him to the camp. After some massage and treatment, he finally woke up. He opened his mouth and cursed Wu Sangui for being a villain. At this time, many confusions that he had not understood were revealed.
!
Previously, Wu Sangui begged for help, warned Gaodi to rebel, and warned that the bandit army was approaching the capital... But the sudden attack on Abatai's vanguard puzzled him. He never understood what good it would do to him! Why did he do this!
Now the answer is very clear. Everything is a trap. There can be 50,000, 60,000 or even more troops in a small border town, and they have already ambushed the mountains. This not only means that they have set up a trap for themselves, but they have prepared at least three
More than a month!
After all, mobilizing troops and horses, transporting grain and grass, building fortifications, agreeing on tactics, etc. cannot be accomplished in a day. The Gaodi rebellion, the bandit army surrounding the capital, and the whole thing are smoke bombs. The Ming court must have known about his entry early in the morning.
He started to think about the matter and set up a trap to lure himself into the trap.
Ming Ting actually started plotting against himself as early as March!
This layout is so big, the Ming court actually produced such a figure, who is it, Wu Sangui?
This rising star really has two skills, and he is much more awesome than his father.
Dorgon felt that he had guessed everything and understood everything, but except for the fact that the Ming army was plotting against him, everything else was very different. The person behind the game was a eunuch whose name he did not know at this time. As for the setting,
This trap was not even three months old. He probably wouldn't believe it if I told him. Everything was done in a hurry within ten days.
Of course, his inference was correct. According to the normal procedures, he mobilized troops and transported food and asked the court for instructions. It was a mess and couldn't be done in two or three months. But the little eunuch was different. He made the food by himself, mobilized the troops by himself, and even spent his own money. As for the equipment,
He even planned the trap on the spur of the moment. When he arrived at Ningyuan and realized something was wrong, he hurriedly lured him over. At the same time, he deployed troops and generals to lay out various means to ambush him and wait for him to fall into the trap.
Dorgon didn’t know the details of this. What he cared about was whether it was too late to remedy the situation!
The Ming army's city defense, strength and tactics were beyond his expectation. Since arriving at the border, they have hit the wall repeatedly. Just now, they were hit to the head with blood, and even almost overturned. Thinking about it now, I still have a cold sweat. If the Ming army takes advantage of the situation and kills them,
The camp is truly a disaster!
Stealing chickens and losing rice, this attack on the city suffered heavy losses, with at least five thousand infantry casualties, more than a thousand cavalry, two of the Sanshun kings were injured, Duduo was seriously injured and is still alive, and countless other armaments were lost.
But if we abandon the camp and leave, it is absolutely impossible. Ningyuan City must be captured, and if it cannot be captured, it must enter the pass. Otherwise, what will happen to the commander when he returns to the court? Moreover, although it is bitterly cold in the north at this time, the grass is growing in the Ming Dynasty and the warblers are flying.
, the fertile soil and water are a good time for herding horses and robbing.
Publicly and privately, we cannot easily return to the court, let alone let Ning Yuancheng go. We just need to change our tactics. We must be careful when fighting, and we cannot always be led by the Ming army to beat us.
"The Ming army is cunning. It has never faced a direct confrontation since the end of our army. They are full of tricks and sneak attacks and ambushes. Of course, it is reasonable that soldiers are not tired of deception, but from this we can also see their weakness, that is, they do not dare to
They are our enemies head-on, no matter they are hiding in the city or in the mountains!" Fan Wencheng frowned in a low voice.
"Mr. Fan wants to draw them out to fight head-on?" Dorgon shook his head: "I'm afraid it's in vain. They know their own weaknesses, so how can they show them in front of others!"
"I think the Ming army is not so useless." Azig interjected: "The heavy armored cavalry of hundreds of people before was a ruthless character. They defeated tens of thousands of my cavalry with hundreds of people and were besieged for nearly two sticks of incense.
He was unharmed, and his fifteenth brother was injured by one of the generals, while the other general was even more brave and powerful, not inferior to Obai."
Azige was still frightened, and everyone thought of this incident, and their faces showed solemn expressions.
"That cavalry is flying the palace flag, and its heavy armor is different from ordinary people. What is its origin?" Dorgon frowned.
"Is it possible that it has something to do with the inner palace of the Ming Dynasty?" Fan Wencheng's whims made everyone feel incredible and impossible. Only Hauge secretly sighed in his heart: He is really a eunuch!
Wu Sangui ambushed tens of thousands of troops in Xishan, which greatly restrained the Qing army attacking the city. The previous defeat was due to insufficient prediction and inability to cope with it, and was exploited by Wu Sangui, which resulted in an irreparable defeat.
If you want to attack the city again now, you must pick out this nail and see what his background is.
Dorgon and the generals were discussing strategies in the camp, but in Ningyuan City it was indeed a different scene. In a simple word, the whole city was celebrating!
A few days ago, the joy of ambushing Abatai was not over, but in the blink of an eye, there was another great victory. For the Ming army, which had been under the power of the Qing army for a long time, it was simply a matter of pride and humiliation!
Of course, the happiest people are Wu Sangui and Tang Tong. They are destined to become famous all over the world in this battle. You must know that the Ming army has not won a battle for many years, both internally and externally. What's more, the battle of Duoqing attracted the attention of the world, and they fought hard with a small border town outside the pass.
Dorgon's army of more than 100,000 people is so majestic!
Even Hong Chengchou, Sun Chuanting and other big names back then had never had such achievements.
But as the saying goes, one general's success is worth ten thousand bones. In this battle, he defended first and then attacked. Although he returned with a great victory, he also suffered heavy losses, including more than 5,000 dead and injured!
But compared to this big victory, everything is worth it!
At least Wu Sangui and Tang Tong think so. Even if the casualties are doubled, they can accept it. How can the general who leads the army be kind-hearted? I am afraid that the one on the dragon throne in the capital is even worse. If the Qing army can be repelled, even if Ning Yuancheng
He thought it was worth it if all the soldiers died in battle!
The soldiers and civilians in Ningyuan City were reveling in the excitement, but it was not excessive. The wounded had been rescued and treated, the people spontaneously cleared the ruins, and soldiers on duty went to the city to carry armaments and reset the defense.
Wu Sangui and Tang Tong discussed how to respond next in the General Military Mansion, speculating on whether the Qing army would break camp and leave.
In the end, the two agreed that the Qing army would not leave easily. Although they were defeated today, they would not be injured. There would be a more ferocious attack next, and it was very likely that they would attack the little eunuchs in Xishan first. The real
The storm has just arrived.
The city of Ningyuan was in chaos. It was a small place and so many reinforcements and refugees squeezed in. It instantly became overcrowded. At this time, it was ravaged by Qing artillery. The city was in a mess. The people were cleaning up and celebrating the victory.
It can be said that it is bustling one after another.
Among the crowded and chaotic crowd, there was a special group of people. Xiao Ran, the leader of the Jinyi Guards in Ningyuan City, wandered around with more than ten of his men disguised as ordinary people.
Although Ningyuan City is small, it is the only city outside the customs in the Ming Dynasty at this time. The Qing court is naturally coveting it and is always thinking about it. It has secretly sent many spies to it. It is during the war, and the spies are very likely to take advantage of the opportunity.
Therefore, no city guarding general dared to take the task of hoeing off traitors lightly. At that time, Yuan Chenghuan searched house to house, and Wu Sangui followed suit. He sent troops to search openly, while Xiao Ran led his men to arrest them secretly.
There are many talents in Jinyiwei, each with their own skills. Some are proficient in assassination, and some are proficient in tracking. For example, Xiao Ran has a photographic memory. Whenever a person is overlooked by him, he will not only look at his appearance, but also his body shape and even his walking posture.
If you understand it in your heart, you will never forget it for a while.
And now he suddenly discovered an anomaly. There was a middle-aged woman in the crowd who looked particularly familiar. As expected, this figure should have belonged to a rickety old man yesterday.
This person must be a suspect, either a spy or the person he cares about...the assassin who killed Chang Yu.
Compared with hunting down spies, Xiao Ran was more determined to catch the assassin who had never seen the dragon. The reason was very simple. The boss of Dongchang and Jinyiwei was assassinated, and none of his subordinates wanted to capture the assassin and perform meritorious deeds.
Seeing that the man was suspicious, Xiao Ran winked at his subordinates, and then followed him as if nothing had happened. The man seemed to feel that someone was following him and hurriedly squeezed into the crowd. Seeing that he was about to disappear in the crowd, Xiao Ran quickly followed.
His subordinates followed closely behind him. He turned around an alley and saw Xiao Ran leaning against the wall without moving. He walked hurriedly, "Boss..." Suddenly there was a cry of surprise and saw that Xiao Ran's neck had been cut by a sharp blade and he was bleeding. He was not dead.
Down, it can be seen that the opponent's sword is fast! (To be continued)
