On the bank of Taigong Lake outside Linzi City, the little eunuch under the shade of a tree started to snore. This made it difficult for Zhu Cian, who had always been excited and nervous, to understand that the Tatars could come at any time, but he was still asleep.
Looking at the soldiers lying all around, I felt even more confused. Are they trying to ambush the Tatars or kill them?
He raised his head and glanced at the man on the tree. Fortunately, there was someone who was awake. He also looked at Chen Ruxin and Qiao Sanxiu who were sitting on the ground not far away, chatting with their heads down. Zhu Cian felt more and more unreliable. He stood up and thought
I went to take a look outside the woods. When Chen Ruxin saw this, he immediately stood up and made a gesture to signal him not to move.
Zhu Ci'an felt angry because he couldn't stand being left here waiting to die. If he would have yelled at someone or even hit someone in the morning, but now he didn't dare to let go and sat down honestly.
Come on, let's die together. Zhu Ci'an glanced at the sleeping little eunuch fiercely, and thought, how could he ignore his own safety? He must have been prepared for something, but he just didn't want to let himself know.
Shhh... At this moment, a whistle sounded above the head. The little eunuch and his soldiers who were sleeping on the ground suddenly jumped up. Without saying a word, they ran to the horse to untie the rope, turned over and drew the sword. All the movements were done in one go.
Zhu Cian was so shocked that he was stunned.
What does it mean to be unprepared? For this kind of veteran who has fought many battles, recharging his energy is the best preparation. Those bells and whistles have no meaning or practical value.
Just when Zhu Ci'an was surprised, Chen Ruxin had already rushed from the edge of the woods to Chang Yu, four or five miles northeast.
Chang Yu hummed, raised his head and looked towards the southwestern city head. He saw a black flag waving, with a sneer on his lips, and twenty or thirty people asked: "Will it hurt my hand?"
"It's not bad for practicing," a soldier said, and everyone burst into laughter.
"Sir, do you want to watch or fight?" Chang Yu turned to look at Zhu Cian and asked.
Zhu Cian rubbed his hands together excitedly, with a nervous and excited look on his face: "War! Why do you, the factory supervisor, just follow Cian?"
"Okay!" Chang Yu picked up his cowhide soft armor at his feet and handed it to him: "If you can kill a Tatar today, your name Zhu Cian will not be mentioned in Qingzhou Prefecture, but the entire Shandong territory will be shaken.
ear!"
Huhu, Zhu." Ci'an's face turned red, and he took Chang Yu's soft armor and put it on: "I want to kill the Tatars, I want to kill the Tatars..."
Chang Yu got on his horse and laughed when he saw him unable to control himself: "This is not your usual house game, but a real sword and a real gun that can cause your head to fall off accidentally."
Zhu Cian's face instantly turned pale, he gritted his teeth fiercely, and got on his horse: "Defending your home and country will be an honor even if you die."
"Good! You have the guts!" Chang Yu praised. Regardless of whether Zhu Cian really sticks to the facade, the young eunuch admires people with blood. Look at the people of the Ming Dynasty, the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, and the vassal prince Sun Ducheng of the Ming Dynasty.
What's going on?
In fact, Chang Yu has always been critical of the vassal system of the Ming Dynasty. The kings usually manage military matters, but they have become such a mess. To blindly suppress them is to destroy the foundation. If the local bandits started, the vassal kings would have formed an army to defend themselves.
It wouldn't be like this now.
Every young man has a dream, and every vassal king once had a passion, but unfortunately the Ming Emperor must raise them like pigs.
In the past two to three hundred years, we have indeed raised litter after litter of pigs.
But even pigs have dreams, and at this time Chang Yu was just helping one of the piglets realize his dream journey: going into battle to kill the enemy!
The Qing army that rushed to Linzi City had twenty or thirty horses, divided into two groups. One was Kangkal's exploration horse, the vanguard outside Qingzhou City, and the other was Dorgon's main exploration horse.
Kangkal formed a formation on the bank of the Nanyang River in the north of Qingzhou City to exert pressure on the city and shouted to persuade them to surrender. On the one hand, he sent out several groups of detective horses to investigate the surrounding area. This was also one of the tasks of the vanguard.
More than ten of his subordinates rode across the Beiyang River to the west, and unknowingly arrived at the Zihe River (the northern end of Taigong Lake). After all, Linzi and Qingzhou were too close to each other.
When they dismounted to drink water, they encountered another group of friendly troops to explore the horses, but they were sent by Dorgon. They were resting on the west bank of the Beiyang River dozens of miles away and sent countless soldiers and horses to go south and west along the river to plunder and investigate.
As he came the furthest distance, he happened to encounter friendly troops, so he dismounted and boasted for a while.
Linzi County is at the southern end of the Zihe River, a small city. The leaders of both teams heard the news from the people.
The city is no more than two feet high and there are no soldiers to guard it.
How about... the two teams gather together and go explore, maybe they can get it easily.
This is an era that is very similar to the Anti-Japanese War. For example, a few Japs can occupy a county. The only difference is that the Japs at this time are called traitor troops or Qing troops.
Therefore, a Qing army with less than thirty riders came to Linzi County in a big way. They marched from the north end of Zihe River under the shade of trees. They were not discovered by Chen Suole, who was on the city. At one time, they were still four or five miles away.
Only then was his whereabouts discovered, so he immediately waved a flag to warn Chang Yu and others.
"This Linzi city is small but very alert. We should have been discovered." Almost at the same time that Chang Yu received the warning, the Qing army team also discovered the black flag waving above the city.
"So what if we find him? We have no intention of sneaking over there." A nearly shirtless bearded man said with disdain: "It would be best if we can bluff him into opening the door when we get to the city. If we can't bluff him, we'll shoot him to vent our anger!"
"The Ming people are timid and afraid of death. As long as there are tens of thousands of troops, they will be so scared that they will wet their pants. Those officials will open the door quickly. When the time comes, our brothers will steal the money and play with them when they enter the city."
"How..." Another black-faced man said this shamelessly, and it was obvious that the two of them were the leaders of this Qing army.
"Women, don't be anxious. We have plenty. It's important to get money first." The bearded man curled his lips: "After entering the city, I wanted to ask the officials for a few thousand taels to top my head. Otherwise, I won't have many male hair left when I turn over.
".
Every time the Qing army enters the customs, there are strict regulations, that is, almost all income must be turned over, and those who violate the order and hide private property will even be asked and beheaded. Not only ordinary soldiers, but also generals must abide by it. Of course, it is easier for generals to hide private property. Only special
Under certain circumstances, such as when the siege of a city fails, in order to boost morale, one would say: "After the city is broken, the proceeds will be kept privately and will not be turned over..."
Therefore, some soldiers seemed to have grabbed a lot of money, but in fact very little fell into their hands. Of course, they were still rich every time after entering the customs and returning!
Because there are too many to grab!
In the same way, as much as they robbed, Ming Dynasty will lose as much!
"You like money, but I like women. We have different hobbies. The women in Ming Dynasty have delicate skin and tender meat that can make you pinch water, but they are not like the rough skin and rough meat outside the customs..."
The bearded man laughed heartily: "I agree with what you said, Daming's women are indeed tender..."
"That's not true. Even if you die, it's worth it." The black-faced leader laughed loudly. Before his laughter ended, he suddenly screamed and fell off his horse.
Everyone was shocked and looked around, seeing that his throat had been sealed with an arrow!
"There's an ambush..." Almost as soon as the bearded man exclaimed, he also fell headlong, this time through his left eye.
To capture the thief, capture the king first!
No one understands this truth better. The young eunuch hid himself a hundred meters away and fired two arrows in a row, killing the two leaders of the Qing army. The rest of the people were shocked and saw more than ten horsemen coming from the woods. They were afraid that there were still more people in the woods.
The ambush soldiers did not dare to fight and hit their horses, so they fled.
Are you here but want to leave?
It depends on whether the little eunuch is willing.
Of course I don't want to. How can I let you escape after sleeping all day long and waiting until now?
The Qing army saw the opportunity early, and when Chang Yu was still a hundred meters away, they hit their horses and ran wildly. Relying on his fast horse and good riding skills, they might not be able to catch up with him on ordinary days.
But these scouting horses had traveled dozens of miles, but Chang Yu slept all day long, increasing and decreasing, and finally caught up with them several miles away.
But at this time, the Qing army did not panic, because they saw clearly that the troops coming were only fifteen or six horses, but they had nearly thirty horses, twice as many!
What a shame. The majestic Qing Dynasty cavalry and powerful Tanma were chased by half the Ming army and fled in embarrassment. If this spread, it would be very embarrassing for them.
So in order to avoid spreading the news, they decided to massacre all the Ming army.
And in fact, they were not sure whether they were chasing the Ming army at this time, because the clothes of these people were different from the Ming army. Could they be warriors from the city or private soldiers of a wealthy family?
Fuck, no matter who he is, just kill them all!
If it were the Ming army, it would be embarrassing enough to be chased into the city. If it were not the Ming army, it would be even more embarrassing!
The Qing army immediately turned their horses to fight!
