Although the land of Ningyuan City was not really dug up, but it was really turned upside down, Wu Sangui's subordinate general Qin Yuzhong led 500 soldiers to cooperate with the Jinyi Guard to search for the whole city, and Shen Jianghu led the crowd to patrol the city gates and city walls to prevent the assassins from crossing the city.

is such a fanfare, the assassin seems to have disappeared out of thin air in this small Ningyuan City, even if he was stabbed by Wu Zhong, even if there are traces of snow outside, he still can't be found, not to mention bloodstains, even the footprints can't be found, is it difficult to make a special snow without a trace, Wu Zhong is really unimaginable that there is such a strange person, could it really be a ghost, thinking of this, I couldn't help but shudder.

But the bloodstain on the windowsill showed that the assassin had indeed been stabbed, and that the ghost would not leave blood.

Chang Yu is not surprised that the search is fruitless, the palace battalion is trained by him, Jinyiwei is good at assassination and anti-terrorism, but this assassin can unknowingly break through these two lines of defense and touch the room, this unpredictable ability, how can it be caught casually, so many refugees in the city at this time are hidden in it like a needle in the sea, and he is good at concealment, and he is good at concealment, he is not good at hiding on the beam of someone's house, thinking of this, Chang Yu also subconsciously looked up at the beam, of course, there was no one.

Lying on the bed squinting, gradually sleepiness hit, unconsciously falling asleep, Wu Zhong stood with a knife in his arms, his face was solemn, the assassin's ability was unpredictable, and the internal strength of the little eunuch was even more miraculous, and the martial arts that he was proud of seemed so unsurprising at this time.

At dawn, the wind stopped and the snow stopped, the palace battalion went out of the city to practice, and the people went out of the city to build fortifications, and not long after Ning Yuanjun went out of the city again and went straight to the West Mountain Point General Stage, and began to practice the formation a hundred meters away from the palace battalion, not afraid of the cold, not afraid of the snow.

Chang Yu got up to wash, he was stabbed several times last night, but the wound was not too deep, although it did not heal overnight, it stopped bleeding and pain and did not affect walking.

Push open the door, see the snow in the courtyard up to the calf, all around is white, the face can't help but show joy, although this snow to the reinforcements march, grain and grass transportation brought inconvenience, but the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, the Qing army march will inevitably be blocked!

The food was light, the little eunuch chewed slowly, Xiao Ran hurriedly came to report, and blood stains were found on the top splint of the bell tower, which was suspected to have been left by assassins.

The bell tower is in the middle of the small city of Ningyuan, and it is also the tallest building in the city, and there are watchmen in it, so it is not difficult for the assassin to assassinate the little eunuch in the heavily defended governor's mansion, and it is not difficult to sneak into the bell tower.

By this time, the city gates had already been opened, and the Assassin must have already left the city with the people, and it was even unknown whether one of the refugees who was sweating outside the city at this time was the real Assassin.

After dinner, Chang Yu went to the city to inspect, overlooking the sky, the mountains, forests and fields are all white, the people in the north of the city and the east of the city are struggling to dig a ditch, and there is a group of people from the moat to break the ice and take water to pour the city wall, tens of thousands of troops at the foot of the west mountain in the west of the city are practicing the formation, the shouting sound is faintly coming, Jin Ge Iron Horse, the heart of the hearer is surging.

Half an hour later, after the Gongzi Battalion finished the drill, he returned to the city to enter the camp to rest, Fan Jiaqian said that Wu Sangui personally practiced the army at the foot of the West Mountain, but he approached the Gongzi Camp several times to observe halfway.

Chang Yu chuckled silently, the daily training of the Gongzi camp is actually archery, horse riding and archery, long-distance running, military physical boxing and knife training, there are no other tricks, and there is not even a formation drill, it is all the basic skills of training physical fitness and skills, just watch it if you want to.

There are a few fast horses coming from the south of the city, and something big has happened in Shanhaiguan!

Shanhaiguan General Gao Di supported the army and rebelled, at the right time for Tang Tong people and horses to pass the pass, Gao Di was unprepared to attack it, Tang Tong was defeated and fled outside the pass.

The little eunuch had a solemn face, and asked how many people and horses Tang Tong had fled, and after confirming it again and again, he learned that there were more than 10,000, so he waved away the messenger and turned his head to show a smile, more than 10,000, it seems that Gao Di's 3,000 cavalry came with Tang Tong.

Wu Sangui heard the news, and the two of them discussed secretly in the room.

The show started, Gao Di led the first scene, the movement was very large, the influence was very wide, and it was known that he and Tang Tong fought at the pass within a radius of dozens of miles.

Like fishing, the nest has been laid, just wait for the capital to throw out the bait and release the news, and then sit back and wait for Dolgon to take the bait, and now the urgency is to prepare for war!

Tang Tong's men and horses are close to Suizhong, and they can arrive in Ningyuan before dark tomorrow at the latest, and more than 10,000 troops and horses, Ningyuan City will be instantly congested.

The two discussed secretly for a long time, and finally decided that the Gongzi camp would first enter the mountain and be invisible, and vacate the military camp for Tang Tong's military horses to settle in.

Wu Sangui was whimsical, saying that he observed the training of the palace character camp, and saw that he was skilled in arching and horses, so he had the heart to compete, and proposed to organize a military exercise in the afternoon, with 300 people from each side competing.

Chang Yu categorically refused, the reason was simple, even if it was a military exercise, there would be injuries, and the big war was about to resist the enemy with all his might, Wu Sangui had no choice but to give up, but he speculated in his heart that it should be the little eunuch's weak heart, after all, Ning Yuan's army was defeated by the palace battalion, but although Ning Yuan's army was dead in name only, the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse after all.

And he didn't know that the reason for Chang Yu's refusal was that in addition to not wanting his subordinates to be injured in the current war, he actually wanted to save more face for Wu Sangui.

Since the first time the Gongzi battalion went out of Beijing, the training of archery and horse riding has never stopped, and during the Taiyuan period, it is a variety of confrontation drills, Zhou Yuji's men and horses, Teng Xiangwei's people, Jin Wuwei's people, and even the Jin Wangfu's family members, all have been opposed!

Although the actual combat may not be as good as Ning Yuanjun's, Ning Yuanjun, who is only afraid of being beaten in confrontation drills, is called Dad, after all, Ning Yuanjun has not fought for more than two years, and he doesn't even know how many times he has conducted daily drills.

It was already noon, the general soldier's mansion had set up a meal, and Chang Yu suddenly remembered another thing that Xiao Ran wanted him to report in the morning, seventy-eight refugees froze to death in the city overnight, so he mentioned it to Wu Sangui, hoping that he would do his best to resettle.

Wu Sangui didn't think so, at this time, the military situation was urgent, and the officers and soldiers couldn't settle at the moment, so how to settle these refugees, where could they take care of these refugees, the dead in the war were thousands, and the dead few refugees didn't feel it.

When Chang Yu saw his expression, he knew that Wu Sangui would not take this kind of thing to heart at all, and he also knew that the current situation was critical, and it was difficult to take care of anything else, so he couldn't help sighing, the lives of people in the troubled world were like mustard.

After noon, the Gongzi battalion went out of the city lightly, except for Li Tiezhu who led the fifty eunuch army to stay in charge of Changyu's security, and the rest of the family all entered the mountain, and the silver car was delivered to the general army's mansion, only waiting for a little grain and grass, and went to the West Mountain.

The Gongzi battalion is hidden in the mountains in advance, and the elimination of traces can catch the Qing army off guard at a critical moment, and some fortifications can be built in the mountains before the Qing army arrives to deal with the unexpected.

On the West Gate City, Chang Yu watched the palace word camp into the mountain, as far as the eye could see, the snow was white, only the west point of the north trench exposed the muddy black soil, if it snowed again, the trace was covered, it was really perfect.

But no, Wu Sangui looked up at the sky as he spoke, and suddenly there was an exclamation, and snowflakes were floating in the sky again!

"God really helps me" Chang Yu was overjoyed, turned his head and asked Wu Sangui: "Did it snow at such a time before at the border gate?" ”

Wu Sangui nodded, it will snow at the end of September in the lunar calendar, and it is not surprising that the mountains will be closed by heavy snowfall in March and April after the Chinese New Year, but this kind of continuous rain for a few days is really rare.
