Chapter 500: Xiao Ran dies

"It's a trap from beginning to end, it's a trap...... The king has a plan, "Please be in the tent of the army commander, Dolgon lay on the couch with a pale face, his hands trembling, pointing to the top of the tent, gritting his teeth and roaring.

Previously, a rage attacked the heart, made him faint and fell off the horse, and the attendant hurriedly sent him to the camp, and finally woke up after some massage diagnosis and treatment, and opened his mouth to scold Wu Sangui for being despicable, at this time a lot of confusion that he couldn't figure out has been revealed!

Previously, Wu Sangui begged for a teacher, said that Gaodi rebelled, and said that the thief army was approaching the capital...... But the sudden attack on Abatai's vanguard puzzled him greatly, and he never understood what good it was for him! Why you should do it!

Now the answer is very clear, everything is a trap, there can be fifty or sixty thousand or more soldiers and horses in the small border city, and they have already ambushed the soldiers, which not only shows that people have set a trap and waited for themselves to take the bait, and at least prepare for more than three months!

After all, mobilizing troops and horses, transporting grain and grass, building fortifications, agreeing on tactics, etc., are not possible in a day, what Gaodi rebelled, the thief army besieged Beijing, and it was all smoke bombs, and the Ming court must have learned that he had a plan to enter the customs early in the morning, so he began to think about this matter, and set a trap here to lure himself into the bait.

Ming Ting actually started calculating himself as early as March!

This bureau is so big, the Ming Court actually produced such a person, who is it, Wu Sangui?

This rising star really has two brushes, which is much better than his father.

Dolgon felt that he had guessed everything and understood, but except for the Ming army, who was indeed calculating him, everything else was thousands of miles away, and it was a eunuch who was in fashion and did not know his name behind the scenes, and as for setting this trap for less than three months, he probably didn't believe it when he said it, everything was done in a hurry within ten days.

Of course, he was right, according to the normal steps to transfer troops and transport grain to ask the court for the chaos of two or three months, but the little eunuch is different, the food is his own, the soldiers are transferred by themselves, and even the silver is spent on his own, as for the trap calculation, he is even more temporary, and after arriving in Ningyuan, he found that something was wrong, and hurriedly lured him over, and at the same time dispatched troops to arrange various means to ambush, waiting for him to enter.

Dolgon didn't know the details of this, and he was concerned that it was not too late to make amends!

The city defense of the Ming army, the strength and tactics are beyond their expectations, since they arrived at the boundary after hitting the wall again and again, just now they were hit on the head and broke the blood, and even almost turned over, now think about it or a cold sweat, if the Ming army is killed to the camp, it is really a disaster!

Stealing chickens is not a loss of rice, this siege can be described as a heavy loss, the infantry suffered at least 5,000 casualties, more than 1,000 cavalry, two of the three Shun kings were wounded, Duoduo has not woken up from serious injuries, and other armaments are countless.

But if you pull out the camp and leave, it will never be, Ningyuan City must be laid, and if you can't beat it, you must enter the customs, otherwise how to explain how the class teacher will return to the dynasty, and although the north is bitter cold at this time, the grass is already growing in the Ming Dynasty, and the fertile soil and water are a good time for horse grazing and robbery.

In public and private, he can't easily return to the court, let alone let go of Ningyuan City, but he has to change his tactics, he must be careful to deal with the battle, and he can't always be led by the nose of the Ming army.

"The Ming army is cunning, since the critical border of our army has never faced the battle head-on, the tricks are exhausted, and all kinds of sneak attacks and ambushes are endless, of course, it is reasonable for the soldiers not to get tired of deceit, but their weakness can also be seen from here, that is, they dare not face us head-on, whether they are hiding in the city or in the mountains!" Fan Wencheng frowned in a low voice.

"Fan always wants to lure them out of the front?" Dorgon shook his head: "I'm afraid it's in vain, they know their own weakness, how can they show it to others!" ”

"I don't think the Ming army is so useless," Azig interjected: "The previous heavy armored cavalry of hundreds of people was a ruthless character, with hundreds of people to shake my tens of thousands of iron cavalry, besieged nearly two incense sticks were unharmed, and the fifteenth brother was injured by one of the young generals, and the other general was even more brave and mighty."

Azig had palpitations, and everyone thought of this stubble, and their faces were solemn.

"What is the origin of that cavalry playing the palace flag, and the heavy armor is different from ordinary people?" Dorgon frowned.

"Could it be that it has something to do with the Inner Palace of the Ming Court?" Fan Wencheng was whimsical, and everyone felt that it was unbelievable, only Haoge sighed in his heart: It's really a eunuch!

Wu Sangui ambushed tens of thousands of troops in Xishan, greatly restrained the Qing army besieging the city, and the previous rout was underestimated and unable to deal with it, and was exploited by it, resulting in irreparable defeat.

If you want to attack the city again now, you must choose this nail and see what it comes from.

Dolgon and the generals discussed the strategy in Daying, and in Ningyuan City, it was indeed a different situation, in a word, the city carnival!

A few days ago, the aftermath of Abatai's ambush was not finished, and in the blink of an eye, it was another big victory, which was simply a shame for the Ming army under the obscenity of the Qing army for a long time!

Of course, the happiest are Wu Sangui and Tang Tong, the two of them are destined to be famous all over the world, you must know that the Ming army has not won a battle for many years at home and abroad, not to mention the attention of the world in the battle of the Qing Dynasty, and the small border city outside the border is hard to resist the army of more than 100,000 Dolgon, what a majesty!

Even Hong Chengchou, Sun Chuanting and other bigwigs have never had such achievements.

However, the so-called one general succeeded in ten thousand bones, and this battle was defended first and then attacked, although it was a great victory, it also suffered heavy losses, and more than 5,000 people were killed and wounded!

However, compared to this big victory, everything is worth it!

At least Wu Sangui and Tang Tong think so, even if the casualties are twice as large, how can the general who leads the troops be merciful, I am afraid that the one on the dragon chair in the capital is even worse, if he can repel the Qing army, even if all the soldiers of Ningyuan City are killed, he thinks it is worth it!

The soldiers and civilians in Ningyuan City carnivaled, but it was not excessive, the wounded have been treated in the camp, the people spontaneously cleaned up the ruins and broken walls, and the soldiers on duty went to the city to carry armaments to reset the defense.

Wu Sangui and Tang Tong discussed how to deal with it next in the General Military Mansion, speculating whether the Qing army would pull out the camp and leave.

In the end, the two agreed that the Qing army would not leave easily, although it was defeated today, it would not break its muscles and bones, and there would be a more ferocious attack next, and it was very likely that the little eunuch in the West Mountain would attack first, and the real storm was just coming.

Ningyuan City was in a mess, and so many reinforcements and refugees were crowded in at once, and at this time, they were ravaged by the Qing army's artillery, and the city was in a mess, and the people celebrated the victory while cleaning up, and it was bustling one after another.

Among the crowded and chaotic crowd, there was a group of people who were very special, Xiao Ran, the big leader of the Jinyi Guard in Ningyuan City, wandered around with more than ten subordinates dressed as ordinary people.

Although Ningyuan City is small, it is the only city outside the gate at this time of the Ming Dynasty, the Qing court is covetous, always thinking about it, secretly sent a lot of spies, at this time it is wartime, the spies are very likely to take the opportunity to make trouble, so any city guard will not dare to take it lightly, Yuan Chenghuan was going door-to-door to search, Wu Sangui has the same example, he sent troops to search in the open, Xiao Ran led people to secretly arrest.

There are many talents in Jinyi Wei, each with its own means, some are proficient in assassination, some are proficient in tracking, for example, Xiao Ran has the ability to never forget, but whenever a person is seen by him, not only his appearance is but also his body shape and even walking posture, he can know it by heart, and he will never forget it for a while.

And now he suddenly noticed an anomaly, there was a middle-aged woman in the crowd who looked very familiar, as expected, this figure should have belonged to a rickety old man yesterday.

This person must be suspicious, either a spy or the person he has in mind...... The assassin who assassinated Chang Yu.

Compared with the search for spies, Xiao Ran was more obsessed with catching the assassin who was not seen by the dragon, the reason was very simple, the boss of Dongchang and Jinyiwei was assassinated, and who under his command did not want to catch the assassin to make meritorious contributions.

Seeing that the man was suspicious, Xiao Ran gave his subordinates a look, and then followed casually, the man seemed to feel that someone was following and hurriedly squeezing into the crowd, and seeing that he was about to disappear into the crowd, Xiao Ran quickly followed.

The subordinates followed, turned an alley and saw Xiao Ran leaning against the corner of the wall and not moving, and hurriedly walked, "Boss ......" suddenly exclaimed, seeing that Xiao Ran's neck had been cut off by a sharp blade, and he was gurgling and bleeding, and he was dying without falling, which showed that the other party's knife was fast!
