Chapter 698: Don't mess with women
No matter how strong a fortress is, it will be breached from within, not to mention this loose alliance.
Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, and after destroying the British camp, they steadily retreated to the city.
I have to say that Sha Jahan is still very wise, how could Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, the two brothers, not be prepared for the artillery position to be raided by someone when the artillery was fired? So the first thing to do after leaving the city was to lay mines on the perimeter first.
After thinking about this, Dolgon had no choice but to return to the camp with Shah Jahan with reluctance and resentment.
What Dolgon and Sha Jahan didn't expect, after returning to the camp, someone came to report that Ye Xun's two wives had fled after killing the guards.
Shah Jahan was surprised to hear the news, but Dolgon seemed to be expecting it.
Dolgon knew very well that with the ability of the Red Sleeve Master, if she wanted to run, she would have run a long time ago, and she was probably waiting for such an opportunity tonight.
It was getting late, and the exact number of losses under Dorgon had not yet been counted, but there were certainly thousands.
In addition to the subordinates taken away by Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, Dolgon also had more than 7,000 people, and later, with the help of Sha Jahan, he expanded his subordinates to 15,000, so tonight's loss was not a blow to Dolgon, but the blow to morale was immeasurable.
Sitting in Shah Jahan's tent, Dorgon pondered for a long time before saying, "Your Majesty, it's time for us to retreat."
Without the artillery of the British, it is bound to increase the difficulty of the siege, but this is not the most important thing, the main thing is that according to the latest news from the border, Ye Xun has personally led an army of 100,000 into the Mughals.
The 100,000 army does not sound like a lot, but according to reliable sources, Ye Xun not only brought nearly 100 field guns here, but also half of the Ming army was equipped with the latest muskets.
Imagine that once you encounter this army, it will definitely be a disaster for the poorly armed Mughal army.
So after Dolgon spoke his mind, Shah Jahan also fell silent, he was the Mughal emperor and had more things to think about than Dorgon.
The Ming army has come, that is, unless they surrender, they will definitely have to fight the Ming army, because they have no way to retreat.
"It looks like it's time to talk to Bashik"
Bashik is Ye Xun's father-in-law, and if he is appeased, Ye Xun's side will be fine.
In fact, Sha Jahan really wanted to talk to Ye Xun, but he knew that if he wanted to negotiate with Ye Xun, the first thing he would do was to take Dolgon.
Don't say that Dolgon is just a brother-in-law, that is, a brother, clean him up, Sha Jahan will not have the slightest psychological burden, the problem Dolgon is not so easy to win, I am strong in martial arts, and my subordinates are the elite who have been fighting on the battlefield for many years, if there is a conflict, I don't know who will take whom!
Shah Jahan obviously underestimated Dolgon's IQ, and as soon as he said that he wanted to negotiate with Bashik, Dolgon immediately understood that Shah Jahan was afraid that he was going to do something to him.
betrayed his master and imprisoned two masters, Dolgon really couldn't find a reason why Ye Xun would let him go.
Looking at Shah Jahan's back, Dolgon's eyes couldn't help but flash a murderous intention, but this is Shah Jahan's handsome tent, of course he won't be stupid to do something to Shah Jahan now.
Nodding and echoing: "I think it's okay, without further ado, I will send someone to find Bashik at dawn, and His Majesty should also send an envoy to the Ming Dynasty again, this time not only to deal with the Ming court, but also to walk the rumors that Ye Xun wants to stand on his own outside, so as to ask the Ming court to put pressure on Ye Xun and force him to retreat."
I have to say that Dorgon's advice is still very pertinent, and it makes Shah Jahan a little embarrassed.
"It's not early, you should go back early to rest, recuperate your spirits, if you can't talk, there are still fierce battles waiting for us!"
No matter what you think in your heart, fake care is still a must.
While Dolgon and Shah Jahan were talking about calves in their tents, there were also two dark shadows talking softly in the army's logistics camp.
"Sister, does your medicine really work? That's tens of thousands of animals! ”
"You know a fart, this thing is mixed in the water, and it works for any number of animals, but it's a pity that I don't have much medicine around me, otherwise I would have poisoned that white-eyed wolf"
It was the two women of Red Sleeves and Arjuna.
The red sleeves are so big, except for Ye Xun, no one has ever made her suffer such a big loss, if she doesn't retaliate back, I'm afraid she won't be able to sleep for the rest of her life.
Who is looking for someone, the red sleeves are bold, Arjuna is also not a fuel-efficient lamp, when Ye Xun is around, it is better to have Ye Xun in charge, leaving Ye Xun's sight, these two girls can be said to be in their original form, what kind of murder and arson, there is nothing they dare not do, but unfortunately it didn't take long to be proud, and they were successfully attacked by Dolgon.
Dolgon had a ghost in his heart, so he didn't dare to look at his face at all, otherwise he would have poisoned Red Sleeves to death, and the reason why Red Sleeves didn't run away was also looking for an opportunity to kill Dolgon.
Dolgon has always had Ye Xun's eyeliner by his side, but the undercover agent can't figure out the idea of Red Sleeves, and Dolgon sent people to guard it tightly, so he has no chance to save him.
Tonight, Dolgon led his army to attack the British army, and then encountered Li Zicheng's artillery bombardment, which gave the undercover agent the opportunity to save people.
It's just that how could Red Sleeves leave so easily? Since he couldn't poison Dolgon, he had an idea and used it on the horses and cattle of Dolgon's and Shah Jahan's armies.
Red Sleeves was well versed in pharmacology, and after synthesizing the medicines on his body, he got some medicinal herbs in Dolgon's camp, and soon prepared a laxative with a strong effect.
It was obviously impossible to make the war horse hit at the same time, so Red Sleeves mixed the medicine in water and feed.
There is a saying that horses have no night grass and no fertilizer, which means that in the middle of the night, the owner will add forage to his horse in order to make the horse grow stronger.
It was the same in the army, almost as soon as the red-sleeved men finished their medicine, a groom got up to feed the horses.
Seeing that the plan had succeeded, the two women were about to leave secretly, but they didn't want Red Sleeves to suddenly pull Arjuna's sleeve.
Both of them wore Mughal military uniforms, which were very wide and funny.
"What's wrong, sister?"
Arjuna is the echo worm of the red sleeves, usually making trouble, and the red sleeves let her go to the east, and she will never go to the west.
"Isn't it too cheap for us to go like this, that white-eyed wolf?"
In the dark, there was a sly glint in the beautiful big eyes of the red sleeves.
"Why don't we set another fire?"
Arjuna is also not afraid of big things, and immediately spoke her mind.
"Set fire, but we'll have to set it at the junction of Shah Jahan and Dolgon's camp, and we'll have to make a noise, and in a moment you'll shout in Mughal language that Dorgon is rebelling!" Do you understand? ”
"Good idea, let's get over here"
The two tiger girls are both good, and by the night, they soon sneaked to the side of the Mughal military camp.
After lighting a few tents first, the two women immediately turned into night demons, slashed and killed several Mughal soldiers who ran out in a daze, and then used their mouths to create momentum.
"Oh no! Dolgon rebelled and led his troops to kill him! ”
In the dark night, the wind fueled the fire, and the fire soon spread, at first a few people shouted, and as the fire spread, more and more soldiers who did not know the truth shouted.
By this time, Dorgon had just returned to his camp...
