At the Ming army camp, Li Guo was of course on guard against the Jianlu troops from Ninggu Pagoda who would break through. Therefore, in addition to the main camp being exposed within the Jianlu's field of vision, there were actually ambush troops in the distance in the other three directions.
Centaur.
As a result, he will have fewer troops in his hands. But it doesn't matter much. Anyway, according to the information provided by Zu Dashou, Gao Yigong will probably be able to lead the Koreans to Ninggu Pagoda tomorrow. By then, drive
If the Koreans attack the city, the city defense of Ninggu Pagoda is definitely within reach.
What we have to do now is to be on guard against the escape of the captives from Ninggu Pagoda.
Under the cover of night, the Ming army hiding in the dark noticed some movement at night, and everyone suddenly became nervous.
In fact, the movement in Ninggu Pagoda was quite loud. Not to mention Ye Bu, who was lying in wait in the wilderness, even the main camp was alarmed.
Li Guo and others quickly got up to check, and saw torches swaying in the distance in Ninggu Tower City, and there were faint shouts of killing. Later, it seemed that some houses were burned down.
"???" Li Guo looked confused: What does this mean? You started a fight? You shouldn't, right?
With this in mind, he asked Zu Dashou, who had just arrived, "Do you still have anyone in the city?"
Although he was asking this question, Li Guo felt that there should be no one, otherwise Zu Dashou would not have said it!
However, if there are no people of their own in Ninggu Pagoda, then why did the Jianlu people start internal strife? If it is not internal strife, but just acting, isn't this too realistic?
"No!" Zu Dashou also had a puzzled look on his face. Looking at the excitement inside Ning Gu Pagoda, he was confused for a moment.
After Li Guo heard this, he ordered: "Send the order, be on strict alert, don't move regardless of any movement, and wait until dawn tomorrow to talk about everything!"
If you remain unchanged in response to all changes, you will not be afraid even if there is trouble in Ninggu Pagoda!
So, on the Ming army's side, those who should take turns on duty, those who should sleep should sleep, everything was as usual
In the Ninggu Pagoda, the commotion became more and more intense. Slowly, the shouts of killing became louder and louder, and more and more houses were on fire!
Several times, the generals on duty almost couldn't help it and wanted to report Li Guo. But in the end, they held back and continued to cope with the changes.
Finally, after midnight, the bustling noise inside Ning Gu Pagoda became smaller. Perhaps the fire was too strong. Looking at the situation, almost the entire Ning Gu Pagoda was burned, and everyone wanted to continue to fight on a large scale.
Not very realistic.
However, just because the sound is quieter does not mean that there is no sound. The sounds of small-scale fighting can still be heard.
Time passed slowly, and finally, the sky in the east turned white, and a new day arrived.
There was movement on the Ming army's side. While washing and taking care of their horses, they looked expectantly at Ning Guta, wanting to see what they were doing after all the commotion last night.
On Li Guo's side, he was settling accounts.
There was no way, his cavalry army was just here to harass, and the supplies it carried with the army were limited. It had been three days since they arrived at the place. According to the restrictions on food and grass supplies, he would have to stay for about three more days at most before returning.
Looking at the amount of supplies left, Li Guo walked out of the camp and looked at Ninggu Pagoda with a telescope. He wanted to see what happened last night and could he be allowed to return to Jianzhou Guard as planned?
With the help of the telescope, Li Guo saw that there seemed to be no guards on the top of Ninggu Tower.
That's not right. There are indeed no guards alive or standing ready, but there seem to be some guards lying on the ground.
"Is that a fake death or a real death?" Li Guo looked at it with doubt in his mind.
At this moment, he saw a group of people who had stayed away from the camp all night and came to him and reported: "Commander, I found two groups of people fighting each other and died outside the city! It must have happened last night!"
"???" After hearing this, Li Guo felt puzzled again. He lowered his head and looked at the two corpses that had been thrown to the ground at night. It turned out to be the same way that you stabbed me and I stabbed you until death.
All together.
What kind of hatred is this?
Also, could the fight in Ningguta City last night be true?
"Hey, aren't these two the sons of those two traitors, Xia Chengde and Zuk Kefa?" Zu Dashou happened to come over to look for Li Guo at this time. When he saw the two corpses on the ground, he couldn't help but said a little surprised.
When Li Guo heard this, he didn't care. He just said, "Xia Chengde is the one your Majesty personally named for arrest. Forget these few and throw them away!"
Later, he asked Zu Dashou and several of his sons to take some people over to see what was going on inside Ning Gu Pagoda.
At least for Zu Dashou and others, they are familiar with Ninggu Pagoda.
Zu Dashou himself also wanted to show off, so he immediately agreed and hurried to Ninggu Pagoda without even having time to eat breakfast.
Li Guo discovered through the telescope that after Zu Dashou and his party arrived at the gate of Ninggu Pagoda, they waited for a while and seemed to be discussing something, and then climbed up to the top of the city by climbing over the wall.
Then, he saw Zu Dashou and his party waving this way, indicating that they should come this way.
So Li Guo sent Li Laiheng to lead two thousand troops, abandoning his horses and using them as infantry, and rushed over first.
"What is going on?" Li Laiheng went to the top of the city and looked at the scene inside the city. He was a little stunned and immediately asked Zu Dashou who was leaning over.
He saw corpses everywhere under the city, but they were all money rats, and he couldn't tell them apart. Judging from what he saw, the Jianlu should have killed each other.
"Sir, these are Xia Chengde's people, these are from Zhenglan Banner, those over there are from Zukefa, and those over there are
Although Zu Dashou couldn't identify who these corpses were, he could still tell them apart because they were somewhat different from each other. Therefore, he pointed them out to Li Laiheng one by one. In the end, he was also puzzled and said to Li Laiheng
: "It's really hard to tell. Xia Chengde's people killed Zhenglan Banner's people, Zhenglan Banner's people killed Zukefa's people, and Zukefa's people killed Xia Chengde's people... Why do I feel like they are all losing their minds and going crazy?
What if you kill me and I kill you, killing indiscriminately?"
Li Laiheng didn't care whether they were crazy or not! He immediately ordered a search throughout the city to see if anyone was still alive.
When it was almost noon, the entire Ninggu Pagoda was turned over. Those who survived had no strength after struggling all night. More probably, it was the despair in their hearts that caused them to be escorted and gathered together by the Ming army like dead corpses.
place.
Among them, there are many Han people who surrendered to the Han Dynasty before, or their descendants. After all, the main population here is these Han people who surrendered to the Han Dynasty.
Xia Chengde, Zu Kefa, Shang Kexi, etc. are all still alive, and they are wary of each other and confront each other in the yamen.
After the imperial officers and soldiers arrived, they put down their weapons one by one and expressed their loyalty at the same time, saying that they had done meritorious deeds before the battle and had abandoned the dark side and turned to the bright side.
At the same time, they also argued that they surrounded the Qing Emperor Hauge in the Yamen, saying that if it weren't for them, Hauge would have run away.
Li Laiheng didn't care about this, just tied them up and threw them together, and then sent troops to attack the Yamen.
Not to mention, I really caught a guy wearing a dragon robe.
Needless to say, this is Hauge.
Originally, he wanted to sneak away last night, but he happened to bump into the traitors who wanted to use him as a proxy. Needless to say, the two sides started fighting.
On the one hand, they wanted to escape, and on the other hand, they wanted to use Haug as a surrender certificate to survive. And there was only one Haug, so the fight under the cover of night turned into chaos.
Later, in desperation, some people not only set fire to their houses, but also killed everyone they saw, regardless of age, friend or foe, exacerbating the chaos.
That is to say, those who are the leaders can survive until the end if they have personal guards around them.
But at this time, the soldiers of the Ming army, who had benefited from the fishermen, took advantage and took the pot.
Geng Zhongming, who was close to Kong Youde, had killed Geng Zhongming together as early as when Jianlu killed Kong Youde's family when he was young. Therefore, Geng Zhongming was not among these people.
The first Ming general who surrendered to the rebels was Li Yongfang. This traitor dedicated his life to the rebels and presided over the spy war against the Ming Dynasty. He had surrendered Qianzong Jinyuhe, Wang Yiping, Dai Jixian, Bai Qice, etc. in Kaiyuan successively;
Guangning successfully instigated a rebellion against Sun Degong and surrendered Shi Tingzhu, Qianzong Shi Tianzhu and Shi Guozhu's brothers, etc., which caused great harm, but unfortunately, he has died of illness for who knows how many years.
Among the traitors captured this time was his second son Li Shutai, and the other sons had all died.
Sun Degong, a close general of Wang Huazhen, the former governor of Liaodong, was instigated by Li Yongfang to rebel, so that in the Battle of Guangning, the Ming army suffered a disastrous defeat, which shocked the government and the public and had a great impact. However, this traitor was already dead at this time.
However, his second son, Sun Sike, was captured alive. This Sun Sike was a so-called famous general of the Qing Dynasty and one of the four Han generals in Hexi Province. It is just a pity that in this plane, he was not given a chance to develop.
Dorgon moved him to Ninggu Pagoda because he was of Han origin, and then the Jianlu were defeated and he was directly made a prisoner.
On Li Guo's side, he was registering names and turning around to prepare a report to the court. At this time, Gao Yigong's command finally arrived with tens of thousands of Korean talents.
Seeing that Ninggu Pagoda had been taken down, Gao Yigong quickly asked about the battle damage, only to find out that it was the internal strife among the Jianlu captives. He couldn't help feeling a little emotional, the so-called defeat was like a mountain falling, it was nothing more than that!
From then on, there were no more prisoners.
Liaodong is restored!
Regarding this situation, all the officers and soldiers of the Ming Army, especially those from Liaodong, were most emotional. After sorting out the battle reports, they immediately flew to Shenyang and asked Shenyang to send some grain and grass to Ninggu Pagoda.
Otherwise so many North Korean laborers will starve to death!
Du Yinxi, who was in Shenyang, received the news that the Ninggu Pagoda had been lowered and that none of the Jianlu prisoners had escaped. He was immediately overjoyed. In this way, the entire Liaodong would be liberated. After the spring of next year, the only need is to use troops against North Korea!
So, he immediately sent out fast horses to report the victory to the capital!
