Chapter 720: Hunger and thirst

In the early hours of the morning, the originally silent emperor was broken by the rain-like drumbeat, first from the direction of due north, and then after a short time, the drums were heard in all directions, the people of the capital were awakened in their sleep, and hurriedly got up to go out to inquire, but they heard the reprimands of the patrol officers and soldiers on the street, and the whole city was under martial law and was not allowed to walk around the streets at will.

I'm afraid that the Tartars are attacking the city, looking at the fire flashing in the city from afar, hundreds of people suddenly feel cold on the soles of their feet, and tremble all over, God bless me Daming, God bless me in the capital, God bless the little eunuch to repel those Tartars.

Countless people prayed silently in their hearts.

"Wang Chengen, Wang Chengen......" Emperor Chongzhen, who had just laid down in the Qianqing Palace, was also awakened by the sound of drums, and turned over, subconsciously shouted, and quickly passed Chang Yu into the palace......

Then he realized that Chang Yu must have landed in the city at this time, so he hurriedly walked to the outer room: "Go out of the palace to the ...... of Banzai Mountain" Wang Chengen took a piece of clothing and put it on him: "Your Majesty, you slow down, slow down......."

Emperor Chongzhen was slow, his footsteps were hurried, he went out of the Qianqing Palace and headed north, and before long, he met the panicked Empress Zhou in front of the Kunning Palace: "Your Majesty, but the Tartar ......"

"You are a little rest, I will go to the outside world to see, there is Chang Yu guarding the city, and the Tartars can't get in" Chongzhen appeased Queen Zhou to stabilize the harem, and then hurriedly walked out of the palace from the Xuanwu Gate and went straight to Wansui Mountain, not long after, panting, a few strong eunuchs hurriedly leaned over and carried him up, and a few took turns to climb to the top after a while.

Looking at due north, I vaguely saw a fire dragon rolling over from the Qing army camp outside the city, and it really did it.

At the head of Desheng Gate, Chang Yu was wearing battle armor, looking at the north side by side with Wang Jiayan with a one-handed sword, a trace of contempt appeared on his face, he was really a sand sculpture that didn't see the coffin and didn't shed tears.

However, Chang Yu also knows that this is not that Dolgon is stupid, but that Daming gives people the impression that they are so weak.

"Look, Lord Inspector, it's really as you expected" Wang Jiayan raised his hand and pointed to the northwest corner, there is also a camp of the Qing army there, most of the laborers are here to make siege equipment on weekdays, at this time the fire is bright, and the figures can be vaguely seen to be busy transporting equipment outside the city, and there is a group of men and horses out of the camp and going straight to the south.

Chang Yu walked quickly to the northwest corner, and looked to the southwest, and saw that several small camps outside the west of the city were also brightly lit, and all men and horses ran out of the camp to the south, secretly scolding Dolgon for cunning.

Dolgon made a few small camps outside the city to make siege equipment, in order to prevent the Ming army from sneaking attack, he secretly laid an ambush and waited for Chang Yu to take the bait, but unfortunately Chang Yu had already seen through, since that late night bloody Tartar camp, there was no action, so that Dolgon Bai waited for a few nights, but at this time he transferred the men and horses out of the camp to the south, obviously to go to the south to move, trying to stretch the battle line so that the Ming army was difficult to take care of.

Sand sculpture, Lao Tzu is difficult to take care of, aren't you also a hanging look! Chang Yu sneered, turned his head to look due south, and vaguely saw that the fire was shining on the tower of You'anmen City in the southwest, which was a warning.

If the Qing army besieged the city and attacked, Chang Yu was not frightened at all, 30,000 horses sounded like a lot, and it looked like a lot, but it was not worth mentioning in the face of the imperial capital that was dozens of miles long, Chang Yu was worried that Dolgon would stare at a point and attack fiercely.

Doesn't Dolgon know how to concentrate a little attack, why do you have to divide your troops to fight at such a distance from the north to the south, the reason is very simple, he is still not at ease, the large Ming army in the south of the imperial capital, according to the detectives, there are 30,000 Ming troops in the south.

One year was bitten by a snake, and ten years he was afraid of the little eunuch's trouser belt, Dolgon did not dare to gamble with the last straw at hand at this time, and was cautious and cautious.

"Report to the Governor, the Gongzi battalion is ordered to supervise the army in Beicheng, and the remaining three battalions are all in place" Li Tiezhu hurriedly walked over and said, Chang Yu snorted, and his face flashed with murderous intent: "Sluggish fighting, cowardice will not be forgiven!" ”

"Obey the order" Li Tiezhu turned around and hurried away, Wang Jiayan glanced at Chang Yu, and couldn't help rubbing his hands, the little eunuch is very murderous, and the four battalions under his command are assigned to supervise the battle on all sides, and they are all the kind holding the sword above, kill if you say kill, don't talk about ordinary pawns, it is an ordinary general, even if it is him Wang Jiayan, he will not blink his eyelids if he is afraid of chopping.

The Qing soldiers outside the city are mobilizing troops to prepare to attack the city, and the Ming army in the city is also pouring in from various military camps towards the city in an orderly manner.

Chang Yu was ordered to supervise the army, holding military power, and having made every effort to mobilize all the Ming army forces inside and outside the city in the Gyeonggi area, he also had a face-to-face meeting with the major bosses of various departments of the military department a few days ago, not so much nonsense, each performing his duties and acting on orders, but if he violated the order and caused serious consequences, he was ordered to supervise the army in private, and Yu Gong was the boss of Dongchang, no matter which identity he would be held accountable to the end.

The bigwigs of various departments have long heard of its majesty and know its ability, plus the people in the East Factory are all ruthless, and more importantly, the safety of the situation at this time is all on him, and they have expressed extreme cooperation.

So, when the police suddenly arrived, the bigwigs of various departments were in place, each performing their duties, some of the soldiers of the Beijing camp went to the city, and some were gathering under the city to lead, the whole city of the soldiers and horses was under martial law, and the emperor's twenty-six personal guards, except for a few on duty, the rest were gathered in the yamen to wait for orders......

Come on, come on, Lao Tzu's forty-meter knife is already hungry and thirsty, Chang Yu touched his neck, and the wound has basically healed, but the revenge of this arrow must be avenged, so Dolgon has to break his muscles and bones in public and private.

"Lord Factory Governor, look at the Tartar formation, Beicheng will be the main attacker, but I don't know if it will attack Deshengmen or Andingmen?" Wang Jiayan was so startled by Chang Yu's murderous aura that he couldn't help but lower his shoulders, and when he saw the Qing army getting closer and closer, he raised his eyebrows and asked.

Chang Yu didn't go back directly, but turned his head and smiled slightly: "What does Lord Wang see?" ”

turned out to be an old man, Wang Jiayan pondered slightly: "It should be Deshengmen, and it will be separated from each other...... No, the Tartars will take Andingmen as the main attack" Wang Jiayan suddenly changed his words, and Chang Yu laughed: "How can Lord Wang be sure?" ”

Wang Jiayan smiled bitterly, looking at the looks of others, he knew that he had figured it out one step earlier, and raised his hand and pointed outside the city: "The sorghum river outside the Desheng Gate, the water system of Jishuitan (part of Taiping Lake) is large and large, and it is not appropriate for the army to stand on its feet."

"So, Lord Wang, which side do you want to guard?" Chang Yu smiled slightly.

Wang Jiayan smiled bitterly: "If you are old and incompetent, let's wave the flag to the Overseer at Deshengmen."

Chang Yu laughed, turned over on his horse, looked back at Wang Jiayan and said, "Lord Wang, we haven't had a bar together yet."

Wang Jiayan was stunned and shook his head: "The military affairs are busy and I heard that the factory governor doesn't like wine...... Oh" was saying that he suddenly thought of something: "I will drink a glass of Zhuangxing wine for the factory superintendent" said that he was about to make people take wine, but Chang Yu raised his hand to stop: "Lord Wang, after this incident, let's drink some of them" said and laughed wildly.

Looking at his back, Wang Jiayan clenched his fists: "Drink, you must drink, turn your head to look outside the city, and use the dog's head of the Tartar as a wine glass!" ”
