Chapter 169: Battle of Cheongju II

As soon as Zheng Chenggong's neck touched the pillow, he snored loudly, like thunder, and the research seemed to be closed. A trace of light swam between the eyes, seemingly sleeping, but if someone looked carefully, they could see from this slit that Zheng Chenggong's eyes were turning slightly.

Zheng Chenggong looked asleep, but in fact, his mind was hanging all the time. A little bit of wind and grass. He would wake up immediately.

A jumble of voices came.

Zheng Chenggong's snoring suddenly paused, and his eyeliner jumped. His eyes widened. Countless bloodshots covered the beads of the eyes, surrounded by a little pitch-black eyes on all sides. Zheng Chenggong turned over and got down, tidied up his clothes and armor, took the saber from the beginning, and hung it in front of him.

At this moment, I heard someone outside say: "Lord Wang, there is movement in Cheongju City. ”

Zheng Chenggong lifted the tent and walked out.

This is Zheng Chenggong's big tent of the Chinese army. The big tent of the Chinese army is very large, and it is divided into two accounts. The front is the place where the generals gathered, and the back is the place where Zheng Chenggong rested.

I saw a person kneeling in front of Zheng Chenggong and said: "In Qingzhou City, there are sounds of fighting and explosions, which spread from the city to the south gate, and the flames are soaring to the sky. ”

Zheng Chenggong heard the flames, and immediately took a few steps forward. When I opened the tent and looked at it, I saw that the fire in the north was very strong, and I could see it from a distance, even though it was several miles away.

The momentum is enormous.

Zheng Chenggong estimated that several streets and alleys must have been burned in this Qingzhou city.

The scale of the cities in this era was not large, and the so-called Cheongju City was not much different from a large modern town. There weren't a few alleys in the first place. With such a momentum, the chaos in Cheongju City is quite big. It is estimated that most of the city is involved.

Zheng Chenggong secretly said in his heart: "This doesn't look like a show." Could it be that the Koreans in Cheongju City saw that there was no hope of defending the city and collapsed on their own. ”

If you think about it, this possibility is also very high.

Among the Korean troops defending the city, most of them are the Korean Eight Banners incorporated by the Korean Army, and these Korean Eight Banners were all Korean Banners before, although the benefits of the Qing Army are many, but they must have a life to enjoy.

If you don't have a life, you don't have anything.

It is not impossible to fight infighting for this.

"Report." Someone knelt beside Zheng Chenggong and said: "General Liang reported that someone in Qingzhou City fell out of the city and reported to our army, saying that he wanted to sacrifice the city. How to deal with it, please show the prince. ”

Zheng Chenggong paced slowly and said: "Send the order to Liang Huafeng, just say that the affairs inside and outside Qingzhou City have been handed over to the general, and there is no need to ask for instructions." You can cut it first and play it later. ”

Zheng Chenggong has no way to do this.

Outside Cheongju City, the camp of the Xia army, Aurora, there are tens of thousands of Xia troops, divided into

Count the battalions. The various armies of the DPRK were resettled separately, plus the people's baggage, the battalion was several miles, and Zheng Chenggong had made some disposals, although the distance between him and the front line was not far at this moment, there were also one or two miles.

This two miles is not very far on weekdays, but now if everything has to be reported, it will definitely delay the opportunity, and Zheng Chenggong is not in front of the army, so he can't grasp the first-hand information. His decision here may not be accurate.

If Zheng Chenggong didn't want to guard against the possible Qing army, he could go to the front line to preside over the overall situation at this moment. But in Zheng Chenggong's view, the battle in Qingzhou City has long ended. It's nothing more than a day earlier, a day later, a few days earlier, and a few days later.

What he cares about is the enemy hidden in the dark, and since he can't take care of it, let Liang Huafeng deal with it.

Liang Huafeng's behavior along the way has won Zheng Chenggong's trust.

"Yes." The herald immediately agreed.

Zheng Chenggong secretly said in his heart: "Could it be that the Qing army really didn't move, and the trap I laid has failed now." ”

There was a hint of apprehension in his heart, but he was used to it.

After all, he traveled north from Jeonju, and he didn't know how many traps he had laid along the way. I don't know how many of them failed. He's used to it.

Zheng Chenggong's herald came to Liang Huafeng and said Zheng Chenggong's will. Liang Huafeng was moved in his heart and said, "Please reply to the prince, I will definitely live up to my mission." ”

Liang Huafeng stood with a cane, got up and said, "Since the prince has entrusted me with this important matter, I will definitely not let the prince down." The order went down, so that the battalions were ready and ready to fight. ”

"Yes." Immediately a herald went down.

As they left, several entire camps boiled.

When I discovered the movement in Cheongju City, some of the soldiers were ready, but the military discipline was strict, and at night, without a military order, the plan could not be moved. Even if he finds out that something is wrong, he can only wait for the military order.

Therefore, as soon as Liang Huafeng's military order arrived, all the troops and horses immediately converged.

"General, what are we going to do? Believe it or not, the North Koreans in the city. A couple of generals asked.

Liang Huafeng stopped his cane and walked slowly, his injuries were almost better, but he was still unable to move, and it was impossible to go into battle to kill the enemy. But it's okay to move around a little.

Liang Huafeng said: "It doesn't matter, they can do whatever they want, it's just a ploy or a trap, as long as they are willing to open the city gate, I will follow." ”

In fact, before Zheng Chenggong's order was handed down, Liang Huafeng had already made a decision. He carefully questioned the messenger who had fallen out of the city, and asked again and again how the situation was in the city, but found no flaw.

But he still can't easily believe in this messenger, there are too many ways to use the world, the dead, the reverse and so on, this

At the juncture, no matter what someone says, then it is seamless, and Liang Huafeng doesn't believe a word.

So he pretended to agree to come down and let the North Koreans open the city gates.

First, to show sincerity, and second, only by opening the city gate can the Xia army enter the city and respond to the Korean rebels to attack the Qing army.

Of course, even if the city gate is opened, it may not be a sincere surrender, after all, there has never been a lack of tricks to surrender. Even an old fox like Cao Cao has suffered losses in this regard. Liang Huafeng just opened the city gate tightly.

Anyway, the battle has come to this point, the city wall of Qingzhou has long been potholed, even if the defenders try their best to repair it, it has become a dangerous city, it seems that he will push it down, and if he attacks for two or three days, he will definitely be able to break through the city.

Opening the gates is just a little more convenient.

seems to have agreed to the other party, but in fact, he has always had the idea of attacking from the city gate. It would be better if they were truly obedient, and if they were cunning, then the armies would immediately attack the city, starting at the gates.

However, it is only to mention tomorrow's siege battle to tonight.

It's not a big deal.

Just when Liang Huafeng was ready, in Qingzhou City, Dasu also got the news.

At this moment, Dasu's face was pale, but he was helpless.

But it's because there is really chaos in Cheongju City.

Although Dasu is the main general in Cheongju City, he has always hidden his identity and introduced a flag master of the Eight Banners of North Korea to come forward, and he hid in the shadows with more than a thousand children of the Eight Banners. It can be said that if there were no more than 1,000 children of the Eight Banners of Dasu, as the Dinghai Divine Needle in Qingzhou City, Qingzhou City would not be able to hold on to this day.

But even with Dasu, at this juncture when the mountains and rivers are exhausted, he can't control the situation in Cheongju City.

Tonight's rebellion, although Dasu obeyed Azig's military orders and planned it himself. Even the envoy in front of Liang Huafeng was sent by Dasu, but the situation in Qingzhou City was completely out of control.

Most of the low-level soldiers in this era are not ideological weapons, they can be called ignorant, they don't understand what the general trend of the world is, they can only see in front of them.

In addition to the fact that Cheongju City was trapped for several days, and while they fought hard, a nerve had collapsed very tightly. The chaos that suddenly appeared in this night, even if it was planned by Dasu, also broke the string in their hearts.

At the beginning, there were still some people who slashed and killed indiscriminately, similar to the roar of the camp, but later there were really people who gathered a lot of people to resist the Qing army, wanting to surrender the city and save their lives.

As a result, Dasu completely lost control of the situation in Cheongju City.

Dasu didn't know Azig's plan, and even if he knew Azig's plan, he also understood that this Cheongju City was already a dead place. No matter what Azig does, he can't change it.
