That Niu Lu'er really didn't expect his mine to be attacked suddenly, he didn't know where these strangely dressed people on the other side came from, but he really tried the power of the musket on the other side. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, and this Niu Lu Ezhen also felt that there seemed to be a pair of eyes staring at him in the crowd opposite. It was a pair of young eyes, and a pair of hateful eyes.

With a "whew", the tiger gun in Niu Lu Ezhen's hand flew towards the opposite pair of eyes.

Ye Zhan leaned on the side of the horse, and with a swing of the big knife in his hand, he knocked down the flying tiger spear.

But at this moment, Ye Zhan was so shocked that his right arm was numb, and the big knife in his hand almost fell.

"Oh yes." Ye Zhan scolded secretly in his heart, and quietly pulled out the handcuff from the saddle with his left hand.

The two horses staggered, Ye Zhan's body was crooked, he dodged the big knife that swept over from the opposite side, raised his left hand, and fired a shot at the other party.

There was a loud "boom", and the cow fell under the horse with a full face.

"Battalion commander, you're not authentic." Ding Jun urged the horse to catch up from behind, and at the moment of the fierce battle, he actually made a joke about Ye Zhan.

"To be able to kill a Tartar is to be authentic." Ye Zhan replied with a smile.

"Brothers, kill the Tartars." Ding Jun beat his horse and ran in front of Ye Zhan.

The whole surprise attack took less than half an hour, most of the 200 Eight Banners were annihilated, hundreds of miners were driven together, and a few who wanted to escape were blocked back by Jiang Beiming and Xu Lang.

A raging fire broke out in the mine, and thick black smoke rose into the sky.

"Master, master." A wrapper ran into Tao Gong's room, "Our mine is on fire." ”

"What's going on?" Tao Min went to Beijing with Huang Taiji, and Tao Gong stayed in Shengjing to continue mining and smelting iron and making firearms.

"Back to the master, black smoke came out of the direction of the mine, as if it was going to water."

"Hurry up and send someone to help."

Tao Gong hurriedly came to the city, and Dai Shan, who stayed in Shengjing, was already standing at the head of the city.

"Big Baylor." Tao Gong hit a thousand, "What's going on in the mine?" ”

"Don't be in a hurry, sir." Dai Shan still narrowed his eyes, "Maybe it's going to be water, Ben Belle has already sent someone." ”

"Report sir." The scouts of the Yulin Army ran to the mine, "The Tartars have come out, and the number is about five or six hundred. ”

"Only five or six hundred?" Jiang Beiming asked, "Did they bring anything?" ”

"Report sir, they brought a lot of waterwheels and buckets."

"Huh." Xu Lang said with a smile on the side, "It's really a fire brigade that came to fight the fire." ”

"Let's find out." Jiang Beiming asked the scout to go back and continue to stare at Shengjing City, turned his head to Xu Lang and asked, "Do you want to fight the fire brigade?" ”

"The fire brigade is also a Tartar." Xu Lang smiled, "Don't you want to fight civilians yet?" ”

"No kidding." Jiang Beiming said, "I mean how to fight, five or six hundred Tartars, let's not ambush." ”

"I want to think about it." Xu Lang lowered his head and thought for a while, "Herald, go and find Ye Zhan." ”

"What are you looking for Ye Zhan?" Jiang Beiming asked.

"Beiming." Xu Lang smiled, "Let's put on a show." ”

Ye Zhan ran over from a distance: "Report to the chief." ”

"Ye Zhan." Xu Lang ordered, "You take two companies, change into the clothes of the Eight Banners, pretend to be fighting fires, and bring in their Eight Banners soldiers." ”

"Yes, Mr. Xu." Ye Zhan turned around to leave.

"Wait, I'm not done yet." Xu Lang stopped Ye Zhan, "Remember, hide the gun and find a good hiding place." Keep your distance from the Eight Banners, don't fight hand-to-hand with them, and I'll let Wang Qianxiang cooperate with you. ”

"I see, Mr. Xu." Ye Zhan turned around and went to make arrangements.

After more than half an hour, Jiang Beiming looked at more than 200 Yulin Army soldiers wearing the clothes of the Eight Banners pretending to be fighting the fire, and smiled unconsciously: "Xu Lang, you can think of this idea." ”

"That's it." Xu Lang straightened his chest, "Otherwise, how can I be the chief of staff, you just wait to see the show." ”

The firefighting team of the Eight Banners arrived with a waterwheel.

About 30 meters away from the fire, the firefighting team stopped, and the leader of the team, Jia Laezhen, shouted, "Go and put out the fire, go and ask someone how the fire started." ”

A soldier of the Eight Banners came to the Yulin Army who was fighting the fire: "Where is your forehead, why is the fire here?" ”

This Eight Banners soldier suddenly felt wrong after asking: "Who are you, why don't you have braids?" ”

"Turn around and raise your gun." The 200 warriors collectively turned around under Ye Zhan's orders, and 200 flintlock pistols were raised.

"Master, they are not our people." The Eight Banners soldier shouted, turned his head and ran.

"Fire." 200 flintlock muskets fired.

"Fire." On both sides of the fire, as if they had come out of the ground, hundreds of people stood up in unison.

"Fire, fire." Nearly 1,000 flintlock pistols were fired in turn, and in less than ten minutes, not a single Eight Banners soldier was standing. All the Eight Banners soldiers were either killed or fell to the ground wounded.

"Ye Zhan." Xu Lang called Ye Zhan over again, "Hurry up and clean up the battlefield, don't worry about anything, burn it all down here." ”

Dai Shan stood at the head of Shengjing, looking at the thickening black smoke and was a little anxious: "Come on, send someone again, why is it burning bigger and bigger?" ”

"Wait, Big Baylor." Tao Gong felt that something was wrong and stopped Dai Shan.

"Why did the gentleman stop it?" Dai Shan didn't understand why Tao Gong stopped him, the mine was the lifeblood of their brothers.

"Here they are." Tao Gong figured it out, "Big Baylor, the mine is not on fire, someone set it on fire, and the Yulin Army is here." ”

"Someone set fire? The Yulin Army is coming? Dai Shan didn't understand, "Why did Mr. say this?" ”

"Back to Big Baylor." Tao Gong replied, "If there was a fire, and now the fire is getting bigger and bigger, why hasn't anyone come back to report it?" This is certainly not a misfire. ”

"Even if it's not a fire, this is Shengjing." Dai Shan still didn't believe it, "Didn't the Yulin Army go to Mongolia?" ”

"Anything is possible." Tao Gong didn't explain again, "The minion begged Da Beile to close the city gate immediately and tighten the defense, the Yulin army may come to attack Shengjing." ”

"And what about the people we sent out?"

"Great Belle, they may have done their best for the Great Khan." Tao Gong said eagerly, "Please give the order of the Great Baylor to close the city gate immediately." ”

"Also, please send someone to deliver a message to the Great Khan immediately, and the Yulin army will surprise Shengjing."

"Okay." Dai Shan didn't ask any more, "I'll arrange for someone to go to Mongolia to deliver the letter immediately." ”

"No, Big Baylor. The Great Khan was not in Mongolia, he was in the north. ”

"The Great Khan in Beijing?" Dai Shan was even more strange, "How did Sir know that the Great Khan would be in Beijing?" ”

"Big Baylor." Tao Gong gave a salute to Dai Shan, "Please believe in the slave of Da Baylor, the military situation is like fire." ”

Dai Shan didn't ask any more questions, and the gate of Shengjing slowly closed. At the same time, several fast horses galloped in the direction of Beijing.

The scout of the Yulin army once again flew back on his horse: "Report to the chief, the four gates of Shengjing City are closed, and the head of the city has strengthened its vigilance. ”

"Aren't they coming to put out the fire?" Jiang Beiming felt a little strange, "Do they know that we are here?" ”

"It's possible." Xu Lang analyzed, "Although it was Tao Min's idea for the Eight Banners to attack Beijing this time, I think Tao Gong may stay in Shengjing, after all, they can't afford to delay the mining and iron smelting now." So it may be that Tao Gong guessed that we were here. ”

"So what do we do now?" Jiang Beiming asked, "Shengjing is now closed to the city gate, and we can't attack it." ”

"Beiming, do you dare to gamble again."

"How do you want to bet?"

"There are still more than ten days before we made an appointment with Wang Zhaoxing." Xu Lang explained, "According to the time calculation, Lu Xiangsheng should have returned to Beijing by now. Even if Huang Taiji wants a class teacher now, his cavalry will not be able to come back in seven or eight days at the earliest. Tao Gong is now closed to the city gates, I guess there may be two reasons, one is that he can't tell how many people we have come, and the other is that there are not many Eight Banners soldiers in Shengjing. ”

"Pick up the point." Jiang Beiming was a little dissatisfied, "It's not for you to make a battle summary now." ”

"Don't worry, Beiming." Xu Lang said with a smile, "We only destroyed one of his coal mines today, and Tao Min must still have iron mines and iron-smelting equipment in Shengjing." Let's take a gamble and spend three days splitting up to find his iron ore and destroy it. ”

"If that's the case." Jiang Beiming was a little skeptical, "Then aren't we going to divide the troops?" This is Houjin's territory, we have few people, can we do it if we divide the troops? ”

"That's why I said I wanted to gamble, and we didn't dare to come out because of the bet." Xu Lang said, "But you are the commander, and you have to make up your mind in the end." ”

"Okay, let's take a gamble." Jiang Beiming waved his fist, "Sweep his Shengjing." ”

The Yulin Army tied up the captured Eight Banners and miners, and life and death were determined by the destiny of heaven. The 1,000 Yulin Army divided into two teams and went separately to find Taomin's iron ore field.

Lu Xiangsheng's 30,000-strong army finally rushed back to Beijing after more than ten days of traveling. There was a fierce battle under the city of Beijing, and the Qinwang troops who rushed over from Shandong, Hebei and other places were added little by little into the battle. Han Wantao and Zhang Hai led the officer training group to command the Ming army to make desperate resistance on the Beijing city wall, and more than 100,000 Beijing soldiers and civilians were mobilized to join the defense of Beijing.

Lu Xiangsheng entered the city of Beijing from Yongding Gate, which was not trapped. Wang Chengen didn't care much, and went directly back to the Forbidden City to meet Emperor Chongzhen.

"Master." Wang Chengen knelt in front of Chongzhen and wept bitterly, "It's all the sins of the slaves, which frightened the master." ”

"Wang Chengen, get up and speak." Seeing Wang Chengen, Chongzhen's heart was a little more stable, "Are you all back?" ”

"Back to the master." Wang Chengen stood up, "Lord Lu's 30,000 horses have returned, but General Jiang's Yulin Army has not returned. ”

"Why didn't they come back?" Chongzhen's face changed again.

"Back to the master." Wang Chengen explained, "Of the 2,000 Yulin Army, 1,000 were stationed in Guihua City, and General Jiang led another 1,000 men to attack Shengjing. ”

"They went to Shengjing?" Chongzhen was surprised, "Just 1,000 people dare to go to Shengjing?" ”

"Back to the master, exactly." Wang Chengen replied, "General Jiang said that this is the way to encircle Wei and save Zhao, as long as the thief chief Taiji knows that we are going to attack Shengjing, he will definitely withdraw his troops, and Beijing will naturally break the siege." ”

Chongzhen was silent after hearing this, and after a long time, he said lightly: "Wang Chengen, you should first go to the military headquarters to discuss Beijing's defense with them." ”

Wang Chengen probably guessed what Chongzhen was thinking, knelt down and said, "The slave obeys the order." Master, let's wait until the Tartars retire. ”

Chongzhen waved his hand noncommittally: "You go first." ”

Fan Qiuming and Liu Jun met Han Wantao and Zhang Hai in the barracks of the teaching regiment.

"Wan Tao, do two things right now." Fan Qiuming didn't say anything to Han Wantao at all, and said directly, "First, immediately let Ge Tao's people go to sea from Tianjin to tell Wang Zhaoxing not to fight North Korea first, and rush to Dandong to pick up Jiang Beiming and Xu Lang." ”

"Why go to Dandong?" Zhang Hai asked, "Didn't they come back with you?" ”

"They took people to Shengjing to come back from Dandong."

"What's the second thing?" Han Wantao didn't ask in detail.

"Let people let out the rumors, just say that the Yulin Army has gone to attack Shengjing, and Huang Taiji must know."

"Since Jiang Beiming and the others went to Shengjing, why did they still let Huang Taiji know?" Han Wantao was said to be confused, "Wouldn't Jiang Beiming and the others be in danger then?" ”

"Only if Huang Taiji knows, he will return to his teacher." Fan Qiuming explained, "The siege of Beijing will be lifted. ”

"Don't worry." Liu Jun said, "We have made accurate time calculations, as long as Wang Zhaoxing arrives in Dandong on time, Jiang Beiming and them will have no problem." ”

"Okay." Han Wantao stood up, "I'll arrange it right away." (To be continued.) )
