Chapter 44: The Bombardment of the Tartars
Outside Shanhaiguan.
A series of large battalions were stationed here, white dragon flags were floating in the sky, and hundreds of people on the ground were constantly patrolling around the large camp, looking heavily guarded.
Outside the tent, three heavy carriages were parked, each filled with two large chests, which were open to gold and silver and precious stones that glittered in the sun.
Dolgon sat in the tent, looking at the letter in his hand, and suddenly felt that something was wrong.
Five days ago, he met Wu Sangui's envoy after Weng, and learned that Wu Sangui was preparing to raise troops to destroy the thieves, so he decided to travel under the stars and nights, and rushed over from Lianshan and Ningyuan.
At that time, his letter was obviously in a hurry, but now he was not in a hurry at all, and was even ready to let them rest for a while.
That's when it happened.
"Haha, brother, this Wu Sangui really knows current affairs! They gave us so much treasure! With a pearl necklace in his hand, Dodor came out of the tent with a smile.
Dorgor looked up, and when he arrived, he saw Dorgon frowning.
"Brother, what's wrong? We're going to be in the customs soon, why are you so sad! Duoduo's face was full of excitement. The Han people are not vulnerable at all, maybe we will be able to take the capital soon! ”
Dorgon frowned, stood up and paced through the tent.
"That's not right! Wrong! It always feels like a fraud! Doton muttered.
At this time, Dodor also came up.
"Brother, what do you mean, this Wu Sangui is a fake surrender!"
He Duoduo was also a battle-hardened man, and immediately understood Dorgon's thoughts.
Dolgon walked out of the tent, first glancing at the carts of gold and silver not far away, and then at the tall and sturdy Shanhaiguan in the distance.
No way! Someone had to be sent to find out the truth.
Dolgon suddenly decided that he had to let a team of men in before he could prevent the incident from happening.
But it's almost like going deep alone, and it seems too dangerous!
Seeing Dorgon's hesitation, Dodor stepped forward and said, "Brother, tell me what is the matter?" ”
Dorgon pondered for a moment, then spoke his thoughts.
Hearing Dorgon's concern, Dorgon couldn't help but laugh.
"Big brother, don't worry, how can the Han army be our opponent!" Duoduo waved his hand, unconcerned. "Then let's do it, big brother, you give me 3,000 people, let me test Wu Sangui, if he lets me into the city, then it's fine! How is it? ”
Dorgon listened to Dodor and nodded.
That's a good idea!
"Is 3,000 men enough? Or add five thousand! Dolgon said.
Duoduo waved his hand and said proudly: "Big brother, don't worry, these people are enough, and Wu Sangui doesn't dare to play any tricks!" ”
"Good! Since you're going, be careful, don't be careless! Dorgon advised.
"No problem!"
Dodor immediately went to the camp to take orders.
Not much.
The gate of Shanhaiguan City.
Wearing battle armor, Duoduo rode a tall horse, followed by three thousand armored cavalry, and the white dragon flag was waving in the wind.
"We are reinforcements who have come to subdue the rogues, so why don't we open the city gate quickly!"
The Dordorians shouted in front.
At this time in Shanhaiguan, Wu Sangui was sitting in the lobby, feeling cramped and uneasy.
At first, he thought that Chongzhen was dead, and in order to prevent Li Zicheng from seizing his power, he decided to contact Ta Qing.
But now that Emperor Chongzhen is not dead, the emperor will definitely continue to reuse him and resist the Qing soldiers. So for the sake of his power and a good reputation, he could only wait for the arrival of the Ming army.
"I hope it's going to be soon!" Wu Sangui prayed in his heart.
At this moment, suddenly a soldier hurriedly came running.
"What's the matter? Did the emperor's reinforcements arrive? Wu Sangui hurriedly said.
"No, it's Duoduo, the king of the Taqing group, who led three thousand men and asked to enter the city!"
What the!
Hearing this, Wu Sangui got up from his chair at once.
Here it comes! It's still coming!
What now?
Will it be a resolute resistance, or will it be a direct surrender?
If you fight directly, it is almost impossible to beat it, but there is no problem when you hold the city for a few days, and it depends on when the reinforcements come.
After all, this time Taqing almost poured out of the nest, and the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands were all the elite of the Han, Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners.
Even with the first level in the world, the artillery on the Tatar side is not vegetarian.
Wu Sangui's heart turned a thousand times, and finally he clenched his fists violently and slammed it on the table, shaking the teacup to the ground and overflowing the tea.
"It's done! Inform everyone to defend the city, and directly tell the Qing soldiers under the city that Emperor Chongzhen is not dead! Wu Sangui rolled his eyes, grabbed the man and continued. Let the artillery prepare, directly aim at the Qing soldiers below, and fire the artillery! ”
Since he decided to continue to work for Daming in the future, he must have some outstanding achievements today, otherwise with his actions of joining forces to break the Kou, some people can join him.
"Yes!"
The creep nodded and turned to leave.
……
At this time, the Shanhai Pass is down.
Duoduo looked up at the walls and suddenly felt that something was wrong.
It's going to be two quarters of an hour, so why don't you open the gates yet?
At this moment, his eyes flashed, and he suddenly noticed that there were many more soldiers on the city wall, and they were gathering by the cannon, and they were holding torches in their hands.
"Not good!"
Duoduo was immediately shocked, realizing that he had been tricked.
He turned around and was about to turn back and shout behind him.
But the next moment.
Bang!
On the Shanhai Pass, the artillery fire was ignited, and only a loud boom was heard.
The huge black cannonball suddenly fell from the sky and smashed heavily into the Qing army's camp.
Rumble!
A flash of fire broke out, and more than a dozen people were immediately hit by the exploding shells, and the explosion was torn apart.
"Retreat!"
Dodor turned and yelled.
But at this moment, another series of artillery sounds rang out, and countless artillery pieces were smashed down.
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
With the continuous sound of artillery, these 3,000 people suddenly suffered heavy losses, and they fled backwards crying and shouting.
These 3,000 people were completely unprepared, and they never expected that they would fight directly.
For a time, these 3,000 Qing troops suffered heavy losses.
At this time, Wu Sangui wore battle armor and climbed the Shanhaiguan.
He glanced at the battlefield outside, and couldn't help but be slightly startled in his heart.
So many Qing troops died, and they were unscathed.
What a victory!
"Today, the saint is still there, I advise you to retreat as soon as possible, don't disturb my Daming land!" Wu Sangui stood on the city wall and yelled downward.
At this time, Duoduo's face was covered with black ash, and the corners of his mouth were oozing blood, and he forced himself to stand up.
"Damn Wu Sangui!" Duoduo's eyes cracked, and his teeth creaked.
At this time, the guards beside Duoduo hurriedly helped Duoduo up.
"King of the county, let's go!" A group of men dragged Dordor backwards. "We're here for a long time!"
Duoduo stared at Shanhaiguan with bloodshot eyes and gritted his teeth.
"I'm going to kill you."
