Shang Kexi, as the siege general, had a small test last night and found out the strength of Qingzhou's city defense. As long as he had enough preparations, he was 100% sure that he could break the city within half a day.
So they ordered the cannon fodder to be cut down and built ladders, and several groups of detective horses were sent to wander under the city to monitor the movements of the guards. These Qing army detective horses rode around the city for a few times before they became bored.
So you, in small groups, found a quiet place to brag and gamble money while monitoring the city.
There were more than ten Qing troops laughing and playing together in the Nanyang River outside Ximen City. From time to time, they looked up at the city but found nothing. Anyway, the defenders on the city were just busy working and ignored them. The main reason was the distance.
Too far, otherwise the arrow would have been released long ago.
However, when the dozen or so Qing troops were doing nothing and were bored, they were startled when they suddenly heard shouting and cursing. When they followed the sound, they saw several people running out of the mountains on the other side of the river, and behind them were more than a dozen people holding knives, shouting and cursing, and chasing after them.
Hey, what's going on!
The Qing army was stunned for a moment, and then they realized that the rich man must have been targeted by bandits and had to escape for his life...
Sure enough, the faces of the people who were running away in front were getting closer and closer, and their faces could be seen clearly. Among them was an old man with a long beard who was running out of breath. Those around him must be his servants, supporting him as he ran wildly, looking back from time to time.
Chasing troops.
The local rich man and the others were fleeing when they suddenly saw the Qing army on the other side of the river. They stopped in surprise, looked around, gritted their teeth, and fled southward along the river bank. However, they were caught up by the thieves behind them.
The servants then started fighting with the thieves. The rich man was so frightened that he fell down. His packages fell apart, and the ground was covered with silver.
The eyes of the Qing army on the other side suddenly lit up. They originally had no idea about watching the show on the other side. After all, it had nothing to do with them and they were separated by a river. But now when they saw the bag of silver, they couldn't sit still.
, he got up quickly, picked up the guy, and rushed towards the other side.
The water in the river was up to their knees, but it could not stop their desire for money. Wu Lala ran over with a knife and ran straight towards the rich man. At this time, the servants were fighting fiercely with the thieves and could not even care about their master.
It is a good opportunity for the clams to compete and the fisherman to profit.
"Hey, the dog Tatar wants to cut off his beard." The Qing army was about to pounce on the rich man when they suddenly heard a sharp shout. He turned around and saw that the horse thieves and servants had stopped. First, a young horse thief pointed a knife at them and shouted angrily.
: "That money belongs to me!"
The Qing army laughed angrily because these horse thieves actually wanted to steal money from them: "You really don't know how to live or die, so go back to the mountains and keep you alive! Otherwise, I will make grandpa angry and kill you together."
"Fuck, who are you trying to scare? It's hard to say who will kill whom." The horse thief yelled and even became domineering. The Qing army became murderous, but they did not dare to take action immediately.
Because what the horse thief said is right. There are quite a lot of people on both sides. It’s really hard to say who will win in a fight. Although the Qing army is strong, they also know that horse thieves are cruel and ruthless. There are also many horse thieves outside the customs. But they are called Huzi and Liuzi, and they are difficult to deal with.
Very.
"Don't be ignorant of praise. There are tens of thousands of troops behind me, and there are dozens of brothers in the south of the city. If I get angry, I will rush into the mountains to level you. Believe it or not, get out of here." The little leader of the Qing army sneered, raising his hand and pointing towards the southwest corner of Qingzhou City.
, there are indeed more than ten Qing cavalry wandering there, but they are separated by a river and blocked by trees, so they have not noticed the situation by the river.
"Don't scare me. By the time your tens of thousands of troops and dozens of brothers arrive, I will have killed you bastards and run away." The leader of the horse thieves didn't even bother to pick him up.
"Damn it, since you are so ignorant of the promotion, let each one rely on his own ability." The Qing army was furious. They didn't expect that no one could stop the Ming Dynasty for thousands of miles, but they were despised by a few horse thieves. They couldn't bear it anymore and started to take action.
.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute." The rich man suddenly got up: "Both sides are masters. I can't afford to offend anyone. You guys should divide the money between yourselves. It's better to spare the little old man..." As he said this, he put his hands on the ground.
He re-wrapped the money and walked towards the Qing army: "As I wish, how about you divide the money and scatter it..."
The horse thief shrugged and said, "That's fine." He stared at the group of Qing soldiers and said, "How do you say that?"
More than ten Qing soldiers looked at each other with different expressions. Some nodded slightly, while others shook their heads and whispered: "If you do it, they will take it all."
The rich man looked at his words and saw something was wrong: "Come on, I'll leave the money alone, you can decide among yourselves how to divide it..."
The Qing army was overjoyed, although they were a little confused as to why this chatty rich man suddenly became bold. He could just throw the money on the ground and escape on his own if he wanted to leave, so why did he bring it to him...
It's just that the money was too much for them to ignore at the moment. Some of them rushed to pick up the package happily. Unexpectedly, the rich man suddenly shook his hand and the money in the package scattered all over the sky. Everyone rushed to grab it. Suddenly they felt something was wrong. This special
It's a stone...
Just as he was about to shout angrily, he suddenly felt a pain in his throat, and then he fell to the ground gushing blood.
Yes, this rich man was Li Muchian. He pulled out the dagger from his waist and stabbed several people in an instant. Before the Qing army could react, the horse thieves and servants rushed over. The young man in front jumped with all his strength.
One sharp slash of the knife cut off half of a Qing soldier's head...
Where did the horse thieves come from, where did the servants come from, they were just young eunuchs, personal guards such as Duan Wuhu and Chen Ruxin.
The reason for doing this was to deceive the Qing army to this side of the river, because they had no horses and could not defeat the Qing cavalry.
The personal guards are all ruthless characters. The Qing army without war horses can't get along with them head-on. In addition, Li Muxian sneak attacked and knocked over several of them at the beginning. After being frightened, they hurriedly fought, and even though they were strong, they were only less than half
All of them were chopped down in a matter of seconds.
But at this time, the Qing army spies in the south of the city were also alerted. They rushed over on horseback and looked across the river. In fact, the water was only above their knees, but they did not dare to cross the river easily because they did not know the background of the more than ten people on the other side and whether there was an ambush.
Three personal guards were injured, and even Duan Wuhu's thigh had a piece of skin cut off. It was dripping with blood and looked quite scary. Chang Yu wrapped it up for him and said, "Why don't you go back first?"
Slightly injured and unable to leave the line of fire, Duan Wuhu refused and pointed at the dozen or so Qing cavalry on the other side: "You have to kill them before going back."
Chang Yu chuckled: "They won't come. Besides, if they come, we will be the ones to run away." Everyone laughed. Some things are difficult to overcome. For example, cavalry killing infantry is like cutting leeks.
Everyone here laughed loudly, and the cavalry on the other side were even more suspicious. If they said that they were so arrogant and domineering, it was not a trap, who would believe it?
But they couldn't see the other side's arrogance, so the Qing soldiers shouted and cursed Zhang Gong and shot quickly. Chang Yu and others laughed and fled far away, but kept provoking the Qing soldiers: Come here!
"Damn! It's the factory supervisor!"
Jia Wai Xiong in the city finally saw clearly and put down his telescope and couldn't help but be overjoyed. Lao Jiu and others were dumbfounded and immediately cheered. King Heng Zhu Youyi was also excited: "It's really clear, let me have a look..."
…”
Unexpectedly, the cheers in the city caused trouble for the little eunuch. The dozen or so Qing troops on the riverside were already provoked by Chang Yu and others on the other side. They got angry and shot at each other with their bows, but they escaped. Suddenly they heard the cheers in the city and thought it was the guards laughing.
They couldn't even do anything about a few horse thieves.
Damn it, my uncle and aunt couldn't bear it anymore, so they crossed the river to chase the horse thieves. The river was a few miles away from the mountain pass. It was flat and open and there was no ambush for the time being. Even if they saw something bad, they still had time to retreat. As long as
It should be fine if you don't chase into the mountains.
And they were sure to catch these horse thieves before entering the mountain pass!
Chang Yu and the others, who were still looking relaxed at first, suddenly turned pale when they saw this. They ran away and stood there in a daze, and the group of people rushed towards the mountains.
