Chapter 506: Sound East Strikes West
The shortage of food caused the Jin soldiers and the Liaodong Army to immediately fall into a predicament, and after the failure of the attempt to break through, Huang Taiji and Wu Sangui had to take risks. It was no longer necessary to continue to garrison the city, and according to Huang Taiji, it was a wrong decision to shrink the forces and defend the city from the beginning.
Faced with indisputable facts, Wu Sangui had to admit that what Huang Taiji said was right. In the end, after intensive discussion, the two decided to raid that night and abandon the Jingshi to take care of the overall situation.
Leaving Qingshan without worrying about running out of firewood, the strength of the Dongjiang Army made Huang Taiji feel that he could not compete with it at present, so it was wise to evacuate as soon as possible.
When night fell, the battlefield that had been fought for a long time also stopped, and the corpses everywhere in the field, and the chirping of nightingales were terrible, which made people feel a chill in their hearts.
On the tower of the capital division, it is no longer brightly lit, but pitch black. Some dummies were placed on the city tower to replace the original defenders, and in the dark night, the Dongjiang army in the distance could not detect the abnormality on the city tower at all.
At night, the four gates of the Beijing division quietly opened, and the Jin soldiers and the Liaodong army quietly went out of the city from the two gates. Huang Taiji and Wu Sangui have already discussed, and at this critical moment, they will each have their own destiny.
Each fled with his subordinates, and the outcome depends on their luck.
The march of the army in the dark night is naturally not fast, and the advantage is not impossible, that is, the besieging Dongjiang army cannot easily detect the sudden escape of the enemy army.
Outside the east city gate in the quiet night, the 40,000 golden soldiers led by Huang Taiji quietly hidden, he did not start running as soon as he left the city, but waited quietly for something?
"Is there any movement over there Wu Sangui?" Huang Taiji asked coldly at the two black-clothed men.
"Great Khan, Wu Sangui is cunning and abnormal, he, like the Great Khan, hid after leaving the city and did not flee in a hurry." The skinny man in black replied.
Huang Taiji frowned and pondered after hearing this, and only after a long time did he see him snort coldly: "Wu Sangui, you are too uninteresting, this defeat is completely because of your idea that the Cheng family has become what they are now." Now you still want to wait for Ben Khan to lure you away from the enemy, don't even think about it. ”
Obviously, both of them have the same idea at the moment, which is nothing more than to see who will cause the idea of the Dongjiang Army first. Then another party can take the opportunity to escape, so that there is a greater chance of escaping safely.
Judging from the current situation, Wu Sangui did not start to flee as soon as Huang Taiji had expected.
"Great Khan, what are we doing now?" The skinny man in black asked again.
Huang Taiji's eyes flashed with a hint of fierceness, and he suddenly said: "Wu Sangui doesn't take the initiative to escape, Ben Khan will not let him get his wish, it seems that we have to help him." ”
After that, Huang Taiji bowed his head and muttered in the ear of the man in black for a while, and finally laughed in a dark voice: "Be careful to handle this matter well, don't make any mistakes, go quickly." ”
The thin man in black had a sinister look on his face, nodded in response, and quickly left with his other companions.
The night was still quiet, and the Dongjiang Army still did not find any abnormalities outside the Jingshi City. And under the cover of the night, dozens of black-clothed people quietly left the camp of the Jin soldiers and touched Wu Sangui's side.
Wu Sangui, who was still waiting for Huang Taiji's Jin soldiers to flee first, didn't know that Huang Taiji had taken the lead in laying a deadly trap on him.
"Lord Wang, it's not good, the people at the West City Gate suddenly had an abnormality, and dozens of people fled, and now it has attracted the attention of the Dongjiang Army." A personal guard hurriedly came to Wu Sangui and said.
"What? Damn it, whose subordinates did not obey the king's orders? Wu Sangui immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
The guards didn't dare to slack off, and said truthfully: "I haven't understood it clearly, Lord Wang, now that the Dongjiang Army has begun to assemble in the direction of the West City Gate, the encirclement and suppression will start at any time, what should we do?" ”
Wu Sangui's face was hideous, he hesitated for a moment, and suddenly said ruthlessly: "Leave them alone, let them mess around, now inform the whole army, if there is a fight outside the West City, we will break through in the direction of the east gate." ”
A trace of unbearability flashed in the eyes of the guards, after all, there were 10,000 Liaodong troops outside the West Gate, so they were allowed to become bait to lure the Dongjiang army. sacrificing the opportunity they gave the rest of the people to escape for their lives is unjustifiable in the sense of emotion.
But if you don't do this, everyone may be dragged down in the end, and the result is likely to be that everyone will die together, and no one will want to escape.
"What are you hesitating about, go and give the order!" Wu Sangui immediately shouted at the guards with hesitant expressions on his face.
"The subordinates obey the order, and then go to pass the order." The guards did not dare to delay, and after bowing, they hurriedly retreated.
Wu Sangui looked in the direction of the East City Gate, and a trace of hatred flashed in his eyes. He vaguely felt that this matter was a little strange, and the subordinates outside the West City Gate, he knew that he would never act against his orders for no reason.
And at this critical moment, the subordinates outside Xicheng had such a situation, and he felt that it was very likely that Huang Taiji was secretly doing it. It's a pity that Wu Sangui has no evidence at present, and he can't discuss these things with Huang Taiji.
The sound of killing outside the West City suddenly broke out, and a large number of Dongjiang troops lit torches and rushed in the direction of the outside of the West City. Wu Sangui did not hesitate, and immediately ordered the whole army to flee in the direction of Huang Taiji.
Huang Taiji has already taken advantage of the darkness to touch the east before Wu Sangui, and there are already spies who have found out one step ahead of Wu Sangui that there are very few Dongjiang troops at present. The breakthrough was very promising, Huang Taiji did not hesitate, he immediately ordered the cavalry to set off first, and the rest of the infantry followed.
In the big tent of the Dongjiang Army, Mao Wenlong was woken up from sleep by Cheng Zuo: "General soldier, the Beijing division has a situation, and Huang Taiji and they once again sent about 10,000 people from the West City Gate to break through the darkness." ”
Mao Wenlong was suddenly shocked, and then asked in a cold voice: "How is the situation now, did you let them escape?" ”
Cheng Zuo shook his head and said: "Don't worry, the chief soldier, we are tightly guarded, the Jin soldiers have just made a move, and they were discovered as soon as possible, and now they have begun to be wiped out." ”
Mao Wenlong felt a little more relaxed after hearing this, nodded with satisfaction and was about to praise Cheng Zuo for two sentences, but at this time, the huge figure hurriedly ran in: "Chief soldier, it's not good, a large number of golden soldiers were found in the direction of the city gate trying to break through." ”
"Not good!"
Mao Wenlong immediately exclaimed, he had already thought that the movement of the West City Gate was probably just a smoke bomb. The main force of the Jin soldiers to break through should be on the side of the East City Gate!
