Chapter 128: 'Operation Decapitation' begins
The warm sea breeze blows through your face in the evening.
Xu Changqing, who has been here for more than half a month, knows very well that when the warm wind passes before dark, the wind will soon cool down.
At this time, the long and huge defense line that the main force of the Ming army had built in the north of Songshan City was basically filled by Han slaves.
Many of the camps of the Qing army were also piled up at the foot of Nanrufeng Mountain, and a new defense system was built around Nanrufeng Mountain.
The wind is cold in the mountains.
It's the turn of summer and autumn, and it's the time when the weather is unpredictable.
Ordinary people spend the night on the top of the mountain, and they still need to take a lot of precautions, not to mention Huang Taiji, who is already about to know the year of the Mandate of Heaven and has not been in good health.
Whether Huang Taiji has been living on the main peak of Rufeng Mountain these days, Xu Changqing can't accurately determine for a while, but what Xu Changqing can be sure of is that Huang Taiji must have been on the main peak of Rufeng Mountain in the past few days to condescendingly observe the entire general trend.
At this time, Huang Taiji's royal flag moved, as if he had already felt that he had reached the end of the day, and he was going to move the king's tent forward!
Soon, Cao Bianjiao and Wang Pu both got the news and hurriedly came here to check.
In the tension that the three of them could barely breathe, as the twilight gradually sank, the royal flag of Huang Taiji was raised on the west side of Rufeng Mountain, the core position of the Qing army's camp.
"This, the royal tent of Huang Taiji, has really moved forward???"
In the past few days, Wang Pu has lost at least a dozen pounds, and this huge mental pressure makes him really think about not wanting to eat, and all his thoughts are here, and his chin is sharp.
At this time, Mu Ran saw that the thing he had been thinking about wanting to die had finally become a reality, and he was a little uncomfortable.
Cao Bianjiao's spirit was also lifted, after all, this veteran ruffian was born in a real general's door, and his psychological quality was much better than Wang Pu's, and he said calmly: "There are about 20 cattle records in this camp in Tartar, and there are almost 20 cattle records in Rufeng Mountain and the Eastern Front, and the number should be in the early 10,000s." I've carefully observed it in the past few days, and most of these cattle are step armor. Moreover, in order to facilitate defense, the Tartar camps were basically independent camps. If we attack it, as long as the speed is fast enough, we can definitely break through the royal tent of Huang Taiji! ”
Xu Changqing nodded slowly and heavily.
Lao Cao is still Lao Cao, and there is nothing to say about his vision and military literacy.
Historically, the reason why he was able to successfully enter the Emperor's Tent must have been after several days of careful observation!
Perhaps, at that time, the Qing army left even fewer Niu Lu here!
After all, who of these Tartars will give up the opportunity to get rich?
At this time, even if there are many people in the Tartars, as Cao Bianjiao said, as long as the action is fast enough, the problem of action is not big!
The three are the elite of the elite, and they are all core families, plus the ideological education work led by Xu Changqing these days, whether it is mental or physical!
Now the most critical core of the problem is whether Huang Taiji is in the camp where the royal flag was erected!
The three of them continued to wait patiently.
As the sky darkened completely, the firelight lit up, and something became more apparent.
More than an hour later, almost in the middle of the day, Cao Bianjiao made a decisive judgment: "Huang Taiji should be in this king's tent!" ”
Seeing Xu Changqing and Wang Pu looking over, Cao Bianjiao explained carefully: "You see, Huang Taiji's several poles are here, and next to them, the guards and battalion flags with yellow flags and yellow flags are also there. Maybe there is a lack of troops here, but this honor guard can't be wrong! Changqing, Lao Wang, do you dare to gamble?! ”
When Wang Pu heard the bet, he suddenly showed a little timidity, and he didn't dare to speak out.
Xu Changqing smiled: "Uncle Cao, why don't you dare?!" The winner, the prince, the loser! It's done, everyone of us has made great achievements, and if we lose, it's only a few! I don't believe it, we have so many good men, we can't kill them! ”
Of course, Cao Bianjiao understood what Xu Changqing meant, this was for Wang Pu to see, and he couldn't help but show a smile and look at Wang Pu: "Old Wang, the future Uncle Wang, do you dare to do it?" ”
As soon as he heard 'Uncle Wang', Wang Pu's retreat had already dissipated most of it, and as soon as he gritted his teeth, his eyes protruded, and he said hideously: "Why don't you dare?!" Damn, isn't that what we're here for? When to get your hands on? ”
Xu Changqing and Cao Bianjiao glanced at each other, both smiled, Xu Changqing smiled: "Don't worry!" At least after the child's time! Big brother, let's go back to the camp to prepare first, and then come here to check the details, and if you are sure, we will do it immediately! ”
"Good!"
The trio sprang into action.
…
Just when Xu Changqing and the three of them went to prepare, at this time, under the banner of Huang Taiji, in the king's tent, Huang Taiji was comfortably roasting a little lamb himself.
The lambs are ripe and golden brown, and the fat sometimes falls on the charcoal fire below, making a 'swish' sound and bringing out an enticing flavor.
There was no one else in the big tent at this time, let alone Fan Wencheng, even the eunuchs who served were sent away by Huang Taiji.
Just two white flags came and good news, near the Ming army's Beacon Hill camp, another group of more than 3,000 Ming troops were scattered, at this time to the south of the Ming army's Beacon Hill camp, the few fleeing Ming army total soldiers, all add up to no more than 20,000 people.
Even if Wu Sangui's camp on Beacon Mountain is quite stable, relying on the grain and grass of Beacon Mountain, and gathering some defeated soldiers, it has not been weak, but how can Huang Taiji, who has been on the battlefield for a long time, not understand that the Ming people are finished, and it is impossible to gather too much resistance force.
For the rest, only a small fire was left to boil slowly.
This made Huang Taiji roast the little lamb while humming the melody of his favorite little song of his concubine and concubine Hai Lanzhu.
"Hehe, concubine, wait for me, in a few days, I will be able to go back. This time, I will definitely be with you for some time. Only you can share my joy with me! ”
Thinking about it, Huang Taiji comfortably poured a glass of wine, tasted it slowly, cut a piece of lamb, and tasted it slowly.
Heaven and earth are infinitely beautiful at this moment.
…
At the beginning of the child, when Wang Pu and Cao Bianjiao came to the northeast corner of Songshan City again, Xu Changqing had already been waiting here for a long time.
The sons and daughters under his command are mobilized, and obviously they don't have to be so troublesome with Wang Pu and Cao Bianjiao.
Wang Pu looked at Xu Changqing, who was calm and relaxed, his hands and feet were a little sweaty, and he said nervously: "Brother, how is it?" Do you want to do it tonight? ”
Xu Changqing smiled: "Do it!" Now it is completely certain that Huang Taiji must be in this big camp! ”
"Huh? Why is that? ”
Wang Pu said busily, a little unable to find the north.
Cao Bianjiao also looked at it, his brows furrowed slightly, "What do you say?" ”
Xu Changqing seemed to be smiling, full of majestic confidence, and said lightly: "It's very simple!" Tangma! I had noticed before that the Qing army had many Tang horses coming to deliver letters, but I was not too relieved at that time. I've been staring here for half an hour now, but there are more than a dozen pond horses coming to report the news! Who else can there be but Huang Taiji here? ”
"This ......"
Wang Pu was speechless.
Unexpectedly, Xu Changqing actually used this way to infer the existence of Huang Taiji.
What the hell is his brother's brain?
Cao Bianjiao was also fluctuating.
He can judge whether Huang Taiji is here, mainly relying on experience, the accumulation of more than ten years of Rong Ma essence, but Xu Changqing is completely talented!
However, this is also just right, the two complement each other and are more thoughtful!
Tonight, it's going to be successful!
…
Maybe God also wants to help, I can't bear to suffer so much from the Ming Dynasty, and at the end of the day, a faint mist filled the heavens and the earth, like a thin veil, quietly permeating the heavens and the earth.
This mist is common here.
The fog is hazy and wet, which makes people see a lot less, but it is not excessive, and it usually dissipates at dawn.
The main reason is that the Matsuyama area is very low, and even if the weather is bad and it doesn't rain, there is a lot of fog.
The three parts that were originally going to do it at the end of the ugly time, under Xu Changqing's instant decision, they immediately started to act!
Cao Bianjiao and Wang Pu were still a little worried, worried that they would not be able to distinguish the direction in the fog and that there would be problems, but Xu Changqing said coldly: "Uncle Cao, big brother, don't worry, I am already familiar with the terrain of the Emperor Taiji King Tent!" Moreover, my eyesight is much better than the average person, there are no problems! ”
Seeing that Xu Changqing was resolute, the two no longer hesitated, quickly formed a team, and began to set off.
In the mist, according to today's moonlight state, the visibility of a normal person is about thirty or forty meters, but Xu Changqing can see more than a hundred meters or even two hundred meters away.
For the powerful advantages brought by this kind of crossing, Xu Changqing obviously will not waste it!
With the more than 800 people led by Xu Changqing as the core, Cao Bianjiao and Wang Pu gathered in the two wings, and the three departments of nearly 4,000 people quietly left the camp at the south gate of Songshan and touched towards the north.
Xu Changqing did not choose to go west, avoiding the complexity of the fortified Qingye area here, and attacking from the flanks, but let the large army go east, not far from the base of the wall of Songshan City, against these fortifications of the Qingye Field, and went straight to the north.
From this position, you can directly face the front of the Huang Taiji camp!
These fortifications left behind by the clear field of the fortifications seem to make the soldiers of the three divisions waste a lot of physical strength, and they may even be injured by those traps that are not dealt with cleanly, but this is the best way to save physical strength!
The main thing is that these fortifications were cleaned up when the main force of the Ming army came, and it was not very difficult.
Again, this is the closest vertical distance!
From the flanks, from that side, it is necessary to go a farther way, and there may not be many obstacles to such fortifications.
The contact between the three departments was already extremely familiar at this time, and under the personal command of Xu Changqing, the team barely made any sound, and soon bypassed Songshan City and came to the original main defense line of the Ming army.
This place has been filled in by the Han slaves very plain, there is Xu Changqing's vision like a forced vision to open the way, ten minutes later, the three people and horses are through this area, has come to the Qing army is in front of the Yellow Banner camp.
Soon, Xu Changqing's three troops came to the Zhenghuang Banner camp more than 200 meters away, reaching the limit of Xu Changqing's eyesight.
Xu Changqing glanced at Cao Bianjiao and Wang Pu.
The two of them suddenly understood, and the three of them beckoned their men to quickly dig up sand and pack it into sand bags.
This state is already the limit of what Xu Changqing can do, and further back, it is impossible not to be discovered by the Qing army.
Sanbu was not discovered by the Qing army here, it was really blessed by the ancestors, it was a complete miracle, and even the Qing army's rangers did not touch it.
But further back, there were many hunting dogs in the Qing army's battle array, and it was impossible not to be discovered.
However, he has arrived here quietly, and Xu Changqing's three divisions have succeeded most of them!
The sand bag is very simple, just fill the mud under your feet to half full, and soon, almost everyone in the team has one, and they are all ready.
Probing left and right, and seeing that it was almost over, Xu Changqing waved his hand, "Let's start!" Start filling the earth! ”
"Xu Ye has an order, start filling the soil!"
"Xu Ye has an order, start filling the soil!"
"Xu Ye has an order......
The order was quickly passed on by word of mouth, and in the front, the soldiers under Xu Changqing's command took the lead, quickly rushed forward, and threw bags of sand and soil into the trench in front.
"Wang!"
"Woohoo!"
Suddenly, it caused the sound of dogs barking in the Qing army's array, and countless bells rang chaotically.
