Chapter 367

Therefore, after receiving the decree, many general soldiers immediately went back to quietly arrange deployment, targeting the situation mentioned by Emperor Chongzhen.

The generals at all levels under them naturally couldn't understand it. They felt that there were more than 1 Jianlu in Tashan, and it was impossible for the entire army to break through the encirclement on the first night anyway.To put it bluntly, how different is this from fleeing after hearing the news?Not to mention Jianlu, who has a long reputation for viciousness, even the three major battalions today should not be able to do such a thing.

It can almost be said that among the whole army of the Ming army, few people at all believed that the tens of thousands of Jian prisoners would flee overnight on the first night of the siege of the city by the Ming army.

However, although almost no one in the Ming army believed it, the emperor's decree was handed down, and it was a strict decree explained in advance, so no one dared to deal with it casually.After all, the emperor still has a very high prestige in their minds.What they were worried about was that if the emperor made a mistake, he would be embarrassed to meet everyone, and he might say that he was sick or something.

Under the night, there were not many lights inside and outside the city.And from the surface, there is no movement.It's as if everyone in and out of the city is safe and sound, and they are all resting.

However, in fact, in Tashan City, the Han army flags preparing for a night attack on the east gate had already begun to assemble.Although they saw other armies gathering quietly, they just thought those armies were going to meet them.

And outside Tashan City, the Ming army was also mobilizing troops in the dark, redeploying troops, gathering heavy troops on the Ximen side, as well as artillery, traps and so on, all in progress quietly.

Under the quiet night, I don't know how many people have no sleep.

Slowly, time passed, the night became darker and darker, and it was almost midnight.

None of the soldiers of the Ming army outside the city had to sleep. They were lurking there, feeling a little bored in their hearts. Many people even thought that this night was just a waste of time!

They didn't dare to disrespect the emperor, but after lurking in vain all night, many people thought that although the emperor is wise and mighty, he is also a human being, and there are always times when his predictions are wrong.

People with such ideas not only existed in the Ming army, but even Emperor Chongzhen's personal servants, Chen Baoting and others, actually had this idea.

However, they found that the emperor was very calm from beginning to end, as if he was not afraid at all that he might be wrong!Chen Baoting and others still admire the emperor's determination.

Of course Emperor Chongzhen was aware of the reactions of the people around him, but it didn't matter, he didn't say anything, just think what he liked, let's talk about it later, facts speak louder than words!

By eavesdropping on the seed system, he knew very clearly that Jianlu was making preparations in the apparently peaceful Tashan City!
Time passed slowly, slowly.

More and more soldiers of the Ming army, including the generals of the Ming army, felt that tonight might be a waste of time.But the time the emperor had expected didn't come, so they waited with all their might.

Three o'clock in the middle of the night, that is, Zishi, that is, the time point from eleven o'clock in the evening to one o'clock in the morning in later generations.

When this time came, all the soldiers of the Ming army outside the city looked at Tashan City with wide eyes. It was so quiet, Jianlu would really attack at night?

In the tent of the Chinese army, Emperor Chongzhen didn't sleep either. He was thinking about the situation of the Korean War. Suddenly, he put down the imperial pen, threw it on the pen holder on the map in front of him, and said lightly: "Jianlu has started to leave the city!"

Chen Baoting, who was serving at the side, couldn't help being taken aback when he heard it. Isn't it very quiet? Why did Jianlu leave the city?

Unlike him, Lu Da, who was ambushing outside the east gate, opened his eyes wide in surprise.Because he deliberately looked closely, with the help of the moonlight, he saw a crack in the east gate of Tata Mountain, and figures flashed out one after another.

The Jianlu in Tashan City was really expected by the emperor. At midnight, the sneak attack started from the east gate!

At the moment when they saw Jianlu leaving the city, the soldiers of the Ming army, including Lu Da, admired Emperor Chongzhen very much!It's amazing!

As for the Ming army on the west gate, they still didn't know what was going on on the east gate, and were still suspicious of Emperor Chongzhen's wisdom and martial arts.

Suddenly, the sound of killing was heard from the east gate.The cry of killing immediately echoed over Tashan Mountain.

As the shouts of killing rang out, the Ming army ambushing at the west gate were all stunned.

"Jianlu really has to start a sneak attack from the east gate first?!" This is the only thought in their minds at this moment!

According to the plan, after the shouts of killing sounded from the east gate, there was a commotion in the Ming army barracks, and crowds of people began to swarm towards the east gate.

Dorgon on the top of the city has been secretly observing the battle at the east gate.But when he saw that the Ming troops in other directions were all attracted by the movement of the east gate, he felt a little happy and quickly and quietly passed the military order. The army immediately set off from the west gate and fought out!

He didn't know that the figures he saw going to the east gate from various places were actually disguised as civilian husbands in the Ming army.The main force of the Ming army didn't move at all, it was waiting for him at Ximen's side!

"Pass my decree, here at the west gate, the main force of the Jianlu troops will come out immediately and be ready to welcome the guests!" Emperor Chongzhen saw Dorgon's latest military order from the eavesdropping system, and explained to Chen Baoting, who was a little stupid, with a smile.

With the facts at the east gate revealed, Chen Baoting came to his senses and no longer dared to doubt Emperor Chongzhen's words. He quickly agreed and immediately went out to deliver the order.

The commanders of all walks of life at the west gate had already believed more than half of what Emperor Chongzhen said because they heard the shouts of killing at the east gate.At this time, after hearing the reminder from Emperor Chongzhen, they put on all their spirits and immediately stared at Ximen.

Sure enough, silently, the west gate of Tashan opened wide suddenly, many figures swarmed out, and even the sound of horseshoes wrapped in cotton cloth could be heard faintly.

As soon as this Jianlu army left the city, it rushed towards the Ming army's position.

Seeing this situation, the soldiers of the Ming army ambushing here at Ximen were immediately filled with admiration for Emperor Chongzhen, like the water of the Yellow River, surging continuously.

Your Majesty, you are truly amazing!
Under the fierce offensive of a large group of Jianlu, during the day, the siege offensive built by the peasants was quickly taken away by Jianlu.The Ming army near here must have been attacked suddenly and had no time to resist, so they retreated one after another, or retreated to both sides.The panicked shouts, as well as the sound of police gongs, were all chaotic.

Seeing this situation, those Jianlu who were breaking out were overjoyed and immediately continued to fight forward to tear open the Ming army's defense line.There are even Jianlu who are thinking that maybe they should not break out and defeat the Ming army directly while they are caught off guard.The emperor of the Ming Dynasty is not here, so it would be great to capture him by the way and present him to the emperor!

They thought so, but Dorgon, who was out of the city with the army, felt something was wrong.It's not that he found anything, but he felt that it seemed to go too smoothly.

The Ming army outside the city was, after all, the imperial army of the Ming emperor. The battle situation during the day also showed that this army was the elite of the Ming army.Even if the enemy from the east gate is lured first, the momentum is strong enough, but the Ming army will not be on the west gate, and the resistance will be so weak, right?
Of course, Dorgon didn't think about it, there would be heavy soldiers of the Ming army ambushing at the west gate.Because he felt that the whole army broke through on the first night, and it was a strategy to attack the west. It was impossible for the Ming army to think of it, and then make arrangements in advance!
At this time, doubts are doubts, and there is no turning back when you open the bow, so you can only rush out according to the prior arrangement.

There are about 5000 Jianlu cavalry, half of which are Mongolian cavalry. They are skilled in riding and rush to the forefront.Then there are the Manchurian cavalry of Jianlu. This is actually mounted infantry. With the help of horsepower, they quickly rushed to the Ming army's position, and then they had to dismount and fight on foot to open the way for the follow-up army.

He rushed past the first line of defense of the Ming army without pressure, and rushed to the second line of defense very quickly at the first time, or before the Ming army reacted.Visually, the Ming army only had two lines of defense. As long as they broke through the second line of defense, it would be tantamount to tearing apart the Ming army's encirclement, and victory was in sight.

However, suddenly, the Jianlu cavalry who rushed to the front fell one by one without warning, or the horse stumbled, and the horse and man fell down.If it is said that he accidentally fell, it is impossible for so many people to fall.

Immediately, Jianlu couldn't help but shouted: "Everyone get off their horses, and some will fall into a horse pit!"

The horse pit is the easiest to dig, just dig out shallow holes in the ground irregularly, so that the horse's hoof can step in.

In this dark night, although there was some moonlight, the horse trap was too small, and the Ming army would cover it. In addition, Jianlu was in a hurry to charge, and all of a sudden, Jianlu's horses were hit one after another.

In a panic, the Jianlu forward had to dismount.But even so, people have to look at their feet when they step on it, otherwise, some of the horse pits are bigger, and it is easy to make people twist their feet.

The existence of these traps inevitably slowed down the Jianlu forwards.

The main force at the back, Jianlu, originally ran with his feet wide open, but as soon as the forward slowed down, he was immediately overtaken by Jianlu behind.At the same time, the anomaly on the striker's side was immediately transmitted to Dorgon, who was the main force of Jianlu.

"What? There is a horse pit?" Dorgon was shocked when he heard it.At this time, he was only surprised by the huge amount of engineering work of the Ming army, but he had already dug a large circle of horse pits around the city just after he arrived?

After thinking for a moment, he also thought of a reason.The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty should be here, so the efficiency of the Ming Army is so high.

Of course, he never expected that the Ming army was only on Ximen's side and dug a horse pit overnight.

After knowing that the Ming army was in a trap, Dorgon not only did not become nervous, but felt relieved.Otherwise, it would be so smooth, and I would feel so unsure.

"Order the entire army to speed up the breakout!" Dorgon once again issued a military order, ordering the entire army to speed up.Because he was afraid that if the Ming army came back to their senses, they would definitely surround Ximen again.

There are more than 8000 Jianlu, and there are many.However, the breakout this time can be said to be a desperate breakout. Jianlu had been preparing all night, so he didn't think about staying in Tashan.Therefore, when leaving the city, the order is orderly and the speed is fast.Not long after Dorgon's military order was issued, the last Jian prisoner rushed out of Tashan.

Looking at the Qing army outside the city, at this time, even if the Ming army came to their senses, it would be difficult to effectively stop the Qing army from breaking through in a field situation. Dorgon finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But at this moment, a mutation arose.

I saw a dazzling light flying from the Ming army's position, drawing a very beautiful arc, and then falling into the Jianlu army.

"Rocket!" Dorgon's experience was extremely rich, and he was taken aback.

Years of experience told him that this sudden rocket was very much like a signal.

Sure enough, just after the first rocket, suddenly, as if appearing suddenly, countless rockets flew up from the Ming army's position, all of which drew a beautiful arc in the night sky and fell towards Jianlu's in the crowd.

"Puff puff……"

"what……"

With the sound of the arrows falling to the ground, many Jianlu were shot by the rockets, and the screams broke the side of Ximen.

What made Dorgon even more surprised and desperate was that after these rockets landed, they ignited the ground, and immediately burned many Jianlu into people of fire. Exposed to bright light.

"Master, it's not good, the Ming army poured kerosene, wooden boards and other fire-igniting objects underneath!" A leader of Jianlu reported to Dorgon in a panic.

At this moment, relying on rockets alone, it is impossible to have such a large fire. Even if there is no report from his subordinates, Dorgon himself has eyes and can see it.At this moment, Dorgon knew in his heart that this battle might be very difficult and very difficult.

Even though he thought so, he still felt that the Ming army did this all around Tashan.He had to sigh with emotion that the Ming army had the emperor on its side, with extremely rich supplies and manpower, and was very efficient, so many measures had been planted in such a short period of time.If it takes a few days to break through, the Ming army will really build a copper wall and an iron wall, and it will be impossible to break out.

Thinking of this, Dorgon couldn't help but secretly rejoiced in his heart. Fortunately, he made a decisive decision and chose the whole army to break through the encirclement on the first night when the Ming army came to attack.

Without hesitation, he immediately issued another military order, regardless of those who were hit by arrows or those who were on fire, the whole army will immediately break through without delay.

The military order was passed down, and suddenly, a deafening sound was heard.

"Boom boom boom..."

I don't know how many artillery pieces roared almost at the same time.The fire from the muzzle flashed, and it was almost particularly eye-catching in the night.

"what……"

The screams in the Jianlu army increased a lot again.Under the light of the fire, you can see countless Jianlu in a straight line, and they disappear immediately.The Jianlu crowd was immediately cut into many pieces.

Dorgon looked at the flickering fire at the muzzle of the cannon, and found that there were so many cannons on the side of the Ming army, and they were still half-surrounded around his side. He finally came to a conclusion that frightened him, and he couldn't help being stunned. .
