Xie Zhenglong listened to Wang Zhizheng's instructions, and gave no one a steamed bun to Tartar, who couldn't understand Chinese, and thought that this was for them to eat, so they exchanged glances and prepared to fake, and ate the steamed bun in a big gulp. Xie Zhenglong commanded the soldiers and horses to dig a large pit nearby.

After eating the steamed buns, Xie Zhenglong pointed to the big deep pit and said, "Okay, let's go on the road when you're full!" ”

The Tartar didn't understand, and thought that they would continue to dig the pit, and said a bunch of Jurchen words to Xie Zhenglong Ula Ula,

Xie Zhenglong called the translator Hu Zheng over: "Let them jump into the pit!" ”

Hu Zheng nodded and told them in Jurchen language, and the group of Tartars suddenly cried to the sky, but they couldn't move when their arms were tied.

Hu Zheng impatiently grabbed one of the Tartars and cut off his head with a knife, and the rest of the Tartars looked at it, so they had to honestly line up and pounce into the big pit and jump in.

Xie Zhenglong waved his hand, and his soldiers and horses rushed up and began to add soil, the Tartars screamed and cried in pain, Wang Zhizheng said to Zhou Zheng: "Tell them, don't scream, you were very proud when you slaughtered the city, and you are afraid to die at this time?" ”

Zhou Zheng walked over and spoke in Jurchen language, and the Tartars stopped talking, and gradually stopped making noise as the loess was buried.

Wang Zhizheng walked to the soil as if he was fine, and said to the wounded who stayed behind: "Find a lightly injured person and write a sign here: The grave of three hundred Tartars buried alive in Kouguan in the fourth year of Chongzhen!" ”

Then he turned around and said to everyone: "Time is urgent, set off immediately, knowing that everyone is tired, eat meat and drink some water first, and rest for a quarter of an hour!" ”

A quarter of an hour later, Wang Zhizheng said: "There will be small-scale ambushes along the way, everyone should be vigilant!" ”

Because of this precaution, along the "Yan Tong Line", about six small Tartar soldiers were killed along the way, totaling about 2,000 Tartar soldiers.

By the time night was about to rise, there were less than thirty miles left in Datong City.

Faintly, I actually heard the sound of killing.

Wang Zhizheng said excitedly to Jiang Nai: "Brother Jiang, do you hear it?" ”

Jiang Nai also said incredulously: "Still fighting? It seems that Wu Sangui bit Dolgon! ”

Wang Zhizheng waved his hand: "Rest in place for two quarters of an hour!" Xie Zhenglong is resting here, and Brother Jiang is going with me to explore the truth and reality! ”

Xie Zhenglong said: "Dudu, let me go with you, right?" ”

Wang Zhizheng waved his hand: "Don't move, send a scout to see if Huang Zongxi has followed, if you keep up, distribute the million arrows, and give them a Daigo empowerment from behind the butt later!" ”

Wang Zhizheng and Jiang Nai, riding horses, quietly approached the battlefield, and about two miles away, Wang Zhizheng saw that the Tartars were attacking the city.

The dead body of the Tartar on the ground was more than three meters high, and a young and handsome white-clothed general calmly commanded the continuation of the siege.

The dead body on the city wall was also two meters high, and I saw Wu Sangui, who was dressed in black and marching strongly, covered in blood, standing on a high platform and directing to throw down the wooden stones! Pour boiling water on it!

Dolgon shouted loudly in fluent Chinese: "Dolgon, you have done your best!" Don't defend it anymore, Wang Zhizheng has been wiped out on the same line, you defend it again, I will slaughter the city after I enter the city, men, women and children will be killed! You surrender, I can promise to enter the city without killing! ”

Wu Sangui said in a tired tone

"I'd rather die in battle than be a traitor!" You can't break Datong, I still have a month's worth of food and 10,000 people, and they have already gone to the city to kill thieves, how many more rounds can your 5,000 people alive attack? ”

Dolgon said patiently: "Wang Zhizheng has already died, I just spent half a month, and there are no reinforcements to save you!" ”

Wu Sangui laughed: "Fart!" If the Metropolitan Governor is really martyred, you are surrounded by Datong and do not break yourself, why do you attack in such a hurry, obviously to break through the pass and escape from Xifengkou, hehe, you are destined to die in Datong this time! ”

Dolgon didn't expect Wu Sangui to react so quickly, and he knew that it was useless to say more, so he could only command the Tartar soldiers to continue to attack the city!

Jiang Nai said to Wang Zhizheng: "Governor, let me roughly find out, there are about 4,000 people in Dolgon's Tartars, and it seems that more than 5,000 people have died!" Wu Sangui on the city wall, I checked, there are about 1,000 people in Guan Ningbing's body, there should be 2,000 people, it's incredible, it's been a day, and Wu Sangui has only died more than 1,000 people! ”

Wang Zhizheng smiled and said, "Didn't you find it? Wu Sangui's Guan Ning soldiers are very skilled in defending the city, the cloud ladder can't be erected at all, and the Tartars don't die for 5,000 people! Okay, I know it in my heart, don't worry, wait until Huang Zongxi's arrows are all ready to fight! ”

Wang Zhizheng and Jiang Nai returned to the camp, and Wang Zhizheng asked Xie Zhenglong: "Zhenglong, do you want to connect with Huang Zongxi?" ”

Xie Zhenglong said: "It's connected, it will take about an hour to arrive, and the baggage troops can't go fast, what should I do?" ”

Wang Zhizheng waved his hand: "It's okay, Datong is in good condition, don't move yet, wait for the arrow to arrive, and then rescue!" ”

Xie Zhenglong was dumbfounded: "What? Doing well? ……”

Wang Zhizheng smiled and nodded and said: "I underestimated the Guan Ning army, it was too powerful, it actually took a day to defend it, and only more than a thousand people died, but Dolgon was killed so that there were only more than 5,000 people left!" If nothing else, this afternoon, Dolgon will die in Datong City! ”

Xie Zhenglong said excitedly: "I'll take the soldiers and horses to rescue first, right?" Anyway, 5,000 people are tired and tired against 5,000 people, and we are sure! ”

Wang Zhizheng patted Xie Zhenglong on the shoulder and said: "Zhenglong, you have to remember in the war, no one can die when there is no need to die, our brothers, which one is not raised by the mother and father, which is not the good years of the early twenties, and the death of a person is a loss of a family, so if you can not die, don't die!" Immediately order the brothers to add food and drink and lie down to sleep, and wait for my order to move! ”

Xie Zhenglong rubbed his hands and said: "Seeing that the Tartar is in Chengguan, it's really itchy if you don't do it!" Why don't I send a troop of soldiers and horses to harass me first? ”

Wang Zhizheng stopped: "No! Don't startle the snake! If Dorgon finds out that our soldiers and horses are here, he will definitely take the initiative to attack, and we will be evenly matched with him, but the Tartars are five to one in combat strength, and we will be defeated! ”

Xie Zhenglong had no choice but to order the soldiers and horses to eat, drink and sleep on the spot.

Wang Zhizheng was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes, and Jiang Nai said, "Governor, will you sleep for a while?" ”

Wang Zhizheng waved his hand: "I can't sleep, I can sleep peacefully when I pick up Huang Zongxi, Huang Zongxi can't do it, I don't have the bottom of my heart now, if Dolgon still has ambushes along the way, Huang Zongxi estimates that he will have died......"

Jiang Nai was taken aback: "Then do you want to come back?" ”

Wang Zhizheng waved his hand: "Don't!" We're exhausted if we come back for help, and if Dorgon receives the letter, he will probably attack us! Don't move, when it gets dark, if Huang Zongxi is not there, we will fight with a big knife and fight with Wu Sanguili to attack the Tartar soldiers! ”

After waiting and waiting, waiting for more than an hour, I finally heard a shout: "Dudu! Counsellor! ”

Wang Zhizheng and Jiang Nai turned around to take a look, only to see Huang Zongxi shirtless and covered in blood, Wang Zhizheng asked: "Taichong, is it possible to encounter an ambush?" ”

Huang Zongxi spat out a mouthful of blood and said, "Fuck! I actually met a Tartar army of 3,000 people, and I didn't attack you, but I attacked my baggage troops! ”

"Three thousand?!" Wang Zhizheng was taken aback: "Your baggage troops are less than 1,000, how did you kill them?" ”

Huang Zongxi pointed to the remaining dozens of baggage troops and said: "The brothers fought hard, one life for another, and they killed all 3,000 people for him, and we also died with less than 100 people left!" ”

Wang Zhizheng's eyes suddenly turned red, and he helped Huang Zongxi and said, "One thousand people and three thousand people exchange lives!" Taichong, you are heroes! ”

Huang Zongxi pointed to fifteen carts of arrows and said: "There are still fifteen carts of arrows, because they can't move, they abandon ten carts and send someone to pull the governor!" ”

Wang Zhizheng waved his hand and said, "No, that's enough!" There were only more than 4,000 men left in Dolgon, and there were 400,000 arrows in these fifteen carts, and a hundred were enough for each person! Taichong, you take your brothers to rest here, we're going into battle! ”

Huang Zongxi said: "Hehe, don't get in the way, I can still fight!" ”

Wang Zhizheng said with a straight face: "Rest on the spot!" You are my brother, this is covered in wounds, what are you fighting? ”

Then kicked Xie Zhenglong awake: "Quick!" Lead the arrows into battle! ”
