Chapter 507: One Step Late
Mao Wenlong exclaimed and woke up everyone present. Obviously, this is the intention of Huang Taiji and Wu Sangui to really break through. Mao Wenlong didn't say a word, and immediately ordered all the main forces of the Dongjiang Army to be transferred to the side of the East City Gate.
However, this back and forth was already a step too late, and by the time the Dongjiang Army put its mind back on the side of the East City Gate, Huang Taiji's golden soldiers had already run seventy-seven, eighty-eight, and there were less than 3,000 soldiers and horses left after Huang Taiji's escape.
After Mao Wenlong learned of the situation, he immediately wrote a letter and ordered someone to quickly send it to inform Chen Jisheng of Datong Mansion, asking him to pay more attention recently, while letting Adou and Chengguangzuo lead 20,000 soldiers and horses to pursue.
Carelessly escaped by Huang Taiji, Mao Wenlong was unhappy in his heart, but unexpectedly, at this time, Haoda came to report, saying that the figure of the Liaodong Army appeared at the East City Gate, and it was obvious that Wu Sangui had not had time to escape.
Mao Wenlong suddenly lifted his spirits, Huang Taiji was cunning and escaped, he didn't want even Wu Sangui to be escaped.
"Everyone will fight with me, and this time you must take down Wu Sangui." Mao Wenlong immediately changed into a battle armor and led the generals to fight in person.
The main force of the Dongjiang Army was still entrenched on the side of Dongcheng at this time, and was still strangling the remaining Jin soldiers. And Wu Sangui, who was a step slow, and his 10,000 subordinates, just bumped into him headlong at this time.
In the dark night, there was chaos on the battlefield again, and the two armies directly started fighting. Fighting in the dark, it was difficult to distinguish between friend and foe, and the clothes of the Dongjiang Army were almost the same as those of the Liaodong Army. This has brought great resistance to the double hair, but it is not like those golden soldiers, who can be easily recognized at a glance.
It was supposed to be a fierce fight, but in the end, it turned out to be very restrained on both sides, which undoubtedly gave Wu Sangui a great opportunity. He immediately ordered that all the guards beside him hide all the symbols that originally belonged to the Liaodong Army.
While this is a great way to hide their identity, it also has adventures. In this dark night, if you don't get it right, you may be besieged by your own people.
But Wu Sangui knows very well that it is much more cost-effective than being killed by his own people by mistake than being besieged by the Dongjiang army.
When the two armies rushed together again, Wu Sangui's more than 300 people quickly blended into the camp of the Dongjiang Army. And those subordinates who were ignored by Wu Sangui were ruthlessly killed by the Dongjiang army.
Only 10,000 deserters, in the face of the siege of tens of thousands of Dongjiang troops, almost only half an hour to end this sudden war.
None of the Liaodong army escaped, hundreds of people surrendered, and the rest were killed in the battle. However, what puzzled Mao Wenlong was that after the final statistics came out, he didn't find Wu Sangui's figure?
The fighting on the Xicheng side also quickly subsided, and in the end, Mao Wenlong found that all the dead there were Liaodong Army, and there was not a single Jin soldier.
"It seems that Huang Taiji and Wu Sangui have escaped?" Mao Wenlong said with pity.
Cheng Zuo and the generals all nodded in agreement with Mao Wenlong's guess, after all, all the Liaodong soldiers who died in this battle tonight were the Liaodong Army, and the Jin soldiers were less than 4,000 people.
"Chief soldier, there must be no Jin soldiers or Liaodong Army in the Jingshi City now, or we will immediately send troops into the city." Cheng Zuo stepped forward at this time.
If Huang Taiji and Wu Sangui had escaped, then there would definitely be no more Jin soldiers or Liaodong troops left behind. In other words, the current city should only be an empty city.
Mao Wenlong nodded and said: "Don't mobilize the soldiers besieging the city outside, first send 10,000 soldiers and horses into the city to check the situation, and then after dawn, we will make a final decision." ”
The generals said yes, and then they took their own retreats to clean up the battlefield outside.
At this time, the sky is almost dawning, and after another hour, the first rays of sunlight will surely shine on the earth. Mao Wenlong no longer had the feeling of sleep, he came to the outside of the account and looked at the still dark Jingshi, with a look of pity in his eyes.
Cheng Zuo said beside him: "What is the chief soldier thinking? ”
Mao Wenlong retracted his gaze and said with pity: "The Ming Dynasty has lasted for many years, and the glory of yesterday to the fall of today is a pity. ”
Cheng Zuo was obviously not as emotional as Mao Wenlong, and he chuckled: "Since ancient times, it is normal for the dynasty to change, although the Ming Dynasty is defeated, as long as the last person in power is still our Ming people, it will be fine." At present, the general army has the strength to re-establish the new Ming Dynasty, and we are looking forward to it. ”
Mao Wenlong squinted his eyes at Chengzuo and chuckled: "Re-establish the Ming Dynasty...... Not interested. ”
Cheng Zuo was stunned for a moment: "Why did the chief soldier say this?" ”
Mao Wenlong explained: "A new dynasty is not so easy to establish, although I, Mao Wenlong, am a little clever, but to do such a big thing, it is obviously not within my ability." People are valuable in self-knowledge, and the general soldier knows where his ability is, and what he is doing now is just a struggle for the survival of all of us. ”
Mao Wenlong only talked about such intimate words with Hong Chengchou, and he never said half a word to others. When Cheng Zuo heard such remarks for the first time, he was a little uncomfortable for a while, and he didn't know how to respond to Mao Wenlong, so he could only fall silent silently, thinking about what Mao Wenlong had just said.
Mao Wenlong looked at Cheng Zuo who was in deep thought, and did not open his mouth to disturb him, but quietly left, leaving Cheng Zuo outside the big tent to think about it.
Mao Wenlong knows that he can be so beautiful at present, in addition to the hundreds of years of history far beyond the contemporary, there is only those modern knowledge left. With all this, he knew that it would not allow him to grow into a great founder.
As the current situation is, the trajectory of history has seriously deviated, and Mao Wenlong's pitiful knowledge of history has become less and less room to play. It can be said that the current Mao Wenlong is eating his old book, relying on the already strong Dongjiang Army, he can still do whatever he wants for some time.
He can rely on some advanced knowledge to win in war, but governing the country cannot be controlled by relying on this little knowledge. And he saved Chongzhen, it was also to take precautions, in Mao Wenlong's view, at least Chongzhen is still a Ming monarch, and after being trained in the future, he believes that he can definitely re-establish a great dynasty with a bright future in the Ming Dynasty, which has become a ruin.
The morning light shone on the earth, and the battlefield outside the city had been cleaned up, and the Dongjiang Army, which had entered the city last night, had also checked the entire Beijing Division at this time, and did not find any abnormalities. The Dongjiang army was finally able to enter the city to rest, and Mao Wenlong also walked into the imperial city for the first time, which symbolized imperial power.
