Chapter 726: The Water Ghost Enters the City
Long live the top of the mountain, overcrowded, dozens of eunuchs stood still in the rain, Emperor Chongzhen was soaked under a big yellow umbrella, the mountain wind blew and couldn't help but shiver, Wang Chengen next to him was distressed, but he didn't dare to persuade him again, just silently beckoned behind him, and immediately a eunuch sent a cotton coat and took it to Emperor Chongzhen.
Emperor Chongzhen raised the clairvoyant mirror again and looked due north, but the rain curtain was too big and his vision was difficult to reach, so he couldn't help shouting, how is the battle going, how is the battle going?
The emperor waited for a while, someone from the mountain had already come to report, Wang Chenen comforted, he had already sent dozens of eunuchs to spread the news of the city gates, and any battle situation would be reported as soon as possible.
Let the guy go faster, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but roar down the mountain, and the messenger eunuch who was soaked in the rain and mountaineering rushed to pant after hearing the sound: "Your Majesty, good news, good news for the emperor, the Tartars have withdrawn, the Tartars have withdrawn."
Emperor Chongzhen's body was soft when he heard the news, and the clairglass mirror in his hand fell to the ground, and he sat on the stone bench next to him: "Chang Yu is good, good, really good......"
"But no, the old slave said that there is Chang Gonggong sitting in the city, and the Tartar can't fly in even if he has wings......" The eunuchs who didn't dare to say a word next to him also responded: "Chang Gonggong has always been invincible, and he can't please either the thief army or the Tartar......"
"Very good, very good...... Emperor Chongzhen couldn't bear to be excited, his fists clenched in the air and smashed a few times, then he got up and laughed, and went down the mountain, Wang Chengen hurriedly held an umbrella and followed: "Your Majesty, be careful of slippery ...... under your feet."
Hearing that the Tartars retreated in vain, the capital was finally unharmed Emperor Chongzhen's mood was high, and his steps down the mountain were relaxed, and he even had a happy move, not caring about the wet and slippery day in the rain, but he frightened the eunuchs next to him.
Halfway up the mountain, he saw a eunuch rushing from the bottom of the mountain soaking wet, and shouted from afar: "It's not good, it's not good, the Tartars have attacked from the Guangqu Gate......
What, Emperor Chongzhen was startled, and sat on the ground with a pop, his face was pale, his eyes were full of fear, and the surroundings were suddenly panicked.
How can it be!
Under the gate of Andingmen, Wang Jiayan and Chang Yu were also stunned when they heard the news!
Dolgon concentrated his troops and horses to attack in the northern city, using the southern city as a flank attack to contain the Ming army in the city, while the east and west sides attracted attention with hundreds of thousands of Qing troops attacking and harassing outside, but they did not have the strength to attack at all.
At this time, how not to be surprised when I heard that the Qing army had entered the city!
Chang Yu still underestimated Dolgon, or said that Dolgon grew up and could use his brain!
Watergate!
After only a few seconds of shock, Chang Yu suddenly reacted, couldn't help but pat his head, and scolded a group of wastes.
Guangqu Gate belongs to the east gate of the outer city, and the inland river in the city and the moat outside the city have water passes to figure out, for example, Chang Yu's private residence Huangfu is located in the south water gate alley of Guangqumen.
The water gate is the underwater city gate, which is made of giant trees or iron fences, and many obstacles are set up in the water to prevent the enemy from sneaking in secretly, which is difficult and dangerous to attack the city on the surface.
Chang Yu never thought that he was careless and let Dolgon take advantage of the loophole, first of all, he didn't have much experience in defending the city, and the water pass was indeed ignored by him, and secondly, the northern army had many landlubbers and was not good at water, who would have thought that the Qing army would come to this hand!
The Northern Army is not good at water, it does not mean that there are no soldiers with good water, Dolgon eats a trench and grows wise, and knows that in the face of an opponent like Chang Yu, it is necessary to prepare both bright and dark at the same time.
On the surface, he gathered a large army to attack the northern city, used the southern city as a flank attack to contain the troops in the city, and secretly selected hundreds of soldiers who were proficient in water from the army as a water ghost commando, looking for an opportunity to escape into the city.
At the beginning of the war, the fighting in the north was hot, and although the Ming army in the remaining cities maintained extreme vigilance, especially the Ming army in the east city, although they saw that there were few enemy troops outside the city, they did not dare to relax at all.
However, dark became the best cover, and after the Qing army water ghosts walked around the city, they chose to go into the water near the Guangqu Gate at night and touched the city, but the capital was dignified and the imperial capital, and the defense was impassable, even if Chang Yu carelessly ignored it this time, the original defensive function of the water gate still made it difficult for these water ghosts to enter easily.
After a lot of effort, I finally broke the sluice gate and sneaked into the city!
However, the sad thing is that the information was not reported in time, because of the heavy rain, Dolgon actually ordered the withdrawal of troops, and these water ghosts became lonely, but fortunately, they were eyeing the south of the city, Shang Kexi and Geng Zhongming got the news in time, and immediately sent troops to attack Zuo'anmen while supporting the nearby Guangqu Gate.
For a time, Guangqu Gate was in danger, and the guards hurriedly sent someone to inform Chang Yu.
Chang Yu guessed the details of this in a blink of an eye, and he was anxious and angry: "The herald ordered the black wolf camp in Wuzhong, and when he entered the city, the Tartar ran and cut off his head, and if the city gate is lost, the whole army will be beheaded!" ”
The herald hurried away.
Wang Jiayan looked anxious, his hands trembled, Lord Factory Governor, how about transferring some reinforcements?
"No!" Chang Yu waved his hand, although he couldn't figure out why the water ghost over there entered the city, why Dolgon ordered the withdrawal of troops, and lost this good opportunity in vain.
But be careful to make the Wannian ship, he didn't dare to transfer the soldiers and horses of the North City at will, not to mention that the East City also had enough prepared men and horses, in order to let Wang Jiayan go to the city to sit in the town, he had to go to Guangqu Gate in person.
As soon as he turned over and got on the horse, he suddenly saw a figure in the majestic rain on the street not far away, but it was Song Luoyu, she had been guarding the city and did not leave, Chang Yu secretly scolded the stubborn donkey, and raised his hand to point: "Why are you still stunned, if there is a loss in the family, I will cut off your head!" ”
The yellow house is in Shuiguan Hutong, one step away from the Guangqu Gate, Chang Yu chose where to go out of the city as quickly as possible at the critical moment to abscond, but it did not become the most dangerous place in the city at this time, those Tartar water ghosts will go to seize the city gate once they enter the city, if they are defeated, they will flee in a panic, and the surrounding residents will be unlucky when the dog jumps over the wall.
Others couldn't hear what Chang Yu's words meant, but Song Luoyu naturally knew that she was going to guard the yellow house, and without saying a word, she turned over and whipped away and disappeared into the rain.
After the battle just now, the city was piled up with rocks and corpses and it was difficult to pass quickly, Chang Yu led a group of personal soldiers to gallop from below, passing through the streets, fortunately, at this time, the whole city was under martial law, and there were no pedestrians on the road in the heavy rain outside, so they could pass at the fastest speed.
Wu Zhong is a person who has seen the world, he once followed Chang Yu to the north to fight the Qing army outside the Guanwai, went south to several mansions to suppress bandits, and has seen thousands of troops, horses, corpses, mountains and blood seas, so he is bored now, he is bored, and he is unhappy!
Chang Yu ordered the four battalions of the East Factory to supervise the soldiers and horses of the four cities, the main exhibition area of the north city was the Gongzi battalion, the south city side attack area was the Black Tiger battalion, and the black panther battalion in the west city.
The sound of artillery in the north, the sound of killing is endless, with Wu Zhong's experience, he naturally knows the intensity over there, several times he wants to slip over quietly, but he is afraid of violating the military order and being heavily punished, usually Yu sees him as a tiger and does not care about him in general, this time in wartime, he will get it when he says it, Wu Zhong understands the psychology, so he does not dare to make a time, at most he just walks along the Dongcheng to the vicinity of Dongzhi Gate and chats with Lao Jiu for a day and then turns back, feeling very boring.
The rain is getting heavier and heavier, Wu Zhong is extremely boring, hiding under the Dongbianmen City Tower to close his eyes and take a nap, he is just responsible for supervising whether the Ming army in the city is slacking off, at this time there is no prison to fight, so there is no prison, and he fell asleep in a daze.
In the dream, I really thought that it was okay, but I was suddenly woken up by someone, and I was about to get angry, when my subordinates shouted: "Commander Wu, the Tartars have entered the city!" ”
What the! Wu Zhong jumped up: "The little overseer is sitting in the city, and he can let the Tartars attack it, this is impossible!" He thought the northern city had been breached.
"It's from Guangqu Gate, from Shuiguan ......" Before his subordinates finished speaking, Wu Zhong had already rushed out of the city tower and shouted: "Greet someone, him!" ”
