Chapter 50: Villains Always Die of Too Much Talk

Anyway, the situation is clear at the moment.

Although Li Guo's army was close at hand, he didn't dare to cross Ning Yuan, he and Ao Bai were actually helpless against anyone, his 10,000 cavalry against Ao Bai's 5,000 cavalry, let go of his hand to fight against the final result was probably the same end, it is said that Ao Bai's subordinates are inlaid with yellow flags and teeth.

Although Li Guo still has 30,000 Shun troops.

In addition, there were 30,000 Ming troops of Song Quan.

But the former is still on the way.

His cavalry could run two hundred miles to join the battlefield in less than two days, but those infantry had to walk for almost four days to arrive, and it would be difficult for them to reach Ningyuan before at least tomorrow afternoon, even if they came by forced march, they would be basically exhausted, and it was impossible to continue to run sixty miles to reach the Tianjiao Mountain battlefield.

As for Song Quan......

Song Quan's shipping was actually the first to arrive at 10,000.

The rest of the Ming army also arrived by land, and they probably arrived later than the Shun army.

And if it were possible, Song Quan would definitely sell Li Guo.

This Shuntian governor, who was appointed not long before Beijing was breached, did not surrender Li Zicheng until the Battle of Shanhaiguan in history, and it should be said that he was an old stubborn who was extremely hostile to the peasant army, and he only pinched his nose and cooperated with the Shun army under the orders of Empress Yi'an and the crown prince because of his loyalty to Chongzhen. But he must not be expected to sincerely work together with Li Guo, but he is more willing to stab Li Guo in the back when it is appropriate, just like what the princes of the Southern Ming Dynasty liked to do in the original history. It is estimated that Li Guo himself is also clear about this, so as soon as he and Ao Bai fought a fight, he immediately retreated and avoided, to put it bluntly, he just didn't want to give Song Quan a chance, so what their seemingly detached coalition army could do was to trap Ning Yuan's Ao Bai, and it was unrealistic to expect them to reinforce the battlefield on the northern front.

Not realistic, at least in the short term.

All Dorgon needed was one more day at most.

Tonight is the only chance.

Defeat Ningyuan tonight, Li Guo's army can enter Ningyuan to mount the cannon before Dolgon breaks through the northern line, and then rely on the sea supply of Juehua Island to completely lock the north-south passage, and Shanhaiguan should not expect to wait for Dolgon's reinforcements, the latter will not be able to bypass Ningyuan to the south anyway.

Li Guo is not Wu Sangui.

Ji'er Harang dared to bypass Ning Yuan because they and Wu Sangui knew the roots, and knew that Lao Wu, a guy with the nature of a warlord in Liaodong, would never do a stupid thing to set himself on fire, not to mention that he just went to Shanhaiguan to walk around and loot something, he just entered the customs to burn and loot, and Lao Wu's biggest possibility was still to shrink Ning Yuan.

But Li Guo is different.

Dolgon would commit suicide if he dared to bypass Ning Yuan, and he would face a sea landing at any time on the enemy's flank, which was completely the rhythm of being in a desperate situation.

If you can't beat Ning Yuan tonight, Yang Qing must also retreat tomorrow.

Otherwise, he would have to be wiped out here by tomorrow afternoon at most, and there is no doubt about that.

Then Dolgon's army marched south.

Then Li Guo and Song Quan could only run away.

Immediately after Dolgon, 80,000 troops were sent to Linshanhaiguan, and the result was that Li Zicheng was forced to fight Shanhaiguan with Dolgon, as for who won and who lost on both sides, Yang Qing is still difficult to determine, although there are still a large number of Ming troops in Shanhaiguan, but Mingshun's cooperation is only limited to Dolgon's arrival at Shanhaiguan, once Dolgon arrives at Shanhaiguan, then these guys will not hook up with him, this is also difficult to guarantee.

Even if you don't hook up, you may quit directly.

In the final analysis, the current cooperation is only the result of Yang Qing's previous promotion, but that was before, and now and then it is completely different, Yang Qing is just a Jinyi guard commanding affairs, and Empress Yi'an was indeed obedient to him before, but that is because this woman has no one else to rely on. He is also a cronie who escaped from Beijing and shared the hardships, and no one around him had to say what he said, but now with the arrival of reinforcements from the south, he can already stay on the side, a brocade guard commands the affairs, can he influence Wei Guogong or can he control the Ministry of Shangshu?

Even Song Quan can't control him.

So tonight and tomorrow morning, the dozen hours will be his last chance.

"Look out for me!"

Yang Qing stood up and said to Li Laiheng.

"Tomorrow morning, no matter what the result is, I will come back and lead you to retreat, and send someone to inform Han Zanzhou, tomorrow morning his people will all retreat, but everyone must hold on before dawn."

Then he added.

Li Laiheng nodded.

Yang Qing turned his head and looked at Princess Kunxing with a gentle expression and said, "Princess, please move to Juehua Island!" ”

Two hours later.

"General Yang, you'd better not disappoint the old man!"

Song Quan looked at Yang Qing and said.

At this time, they were lying in a depression overgrown with grass, and a mile in front of them was Ning Yuan'anmen, and the walls were covered with scars after the bombardment that lasted for an hour during the day, and although the collapse had not yet appeared, it could not last long. The warships of the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Navy Division provided Song Quan with a full fifty Hongyi cannons, and Aobai in the city did not even have a single cannon, even if the quality of these cannons was poor and they did not dare to continue to use it for too long, in addition, because the cannon chamber and gunpowder were very poor, the power of the cannonballs was limited, but after a long time, this place would still be blasted open by Song Quan.

But now it doesn't have to be that much trouble.

Yang Qing picked up the three gunpowder bags beside him like picking up a bunch of grapes, and then carried them behind his back......

"Trust me, that's right!"

He said seriously.

Song Quan, who was very puzzled, waved behind him expressionlessly, and in the night behind them, the tide composed of the reflection of countless soldiers' armor slowly moved forward, and in the woods farther away, the figures of countless war horses were faintly visible.

Twenty thousand horsemen are waiting for this.

Then in the eyes of 20,000 pairs of eyes, Yang Qing quietly walked out, carrying three thirty catties of gunpowder packets on his back, like a fleeing refugee, bowing his head and cautiously moving forward among the waist-deep barren grass, and there was silence on the city wall in front of him, and even the figure of the Qing army could not be seen at all. Of course, Ao Bai without cannons would not be stupid enough to let the soldiers suffer shells on the city wall, anyway, the Ming army also did not attack, at most leave some observation posts on the city wall, more than 9,000 Qing troops are estimated to be hiding in the hidden soldiers in the city.

This thing can be used as a bombardment.

They didn't really have much pressure, because Ao Bai knew very well that at most Dolgon would arrive the day after tomorrow.

Yang Qing continued to move forward with a leisurely face, and soon approached to less than two hundred meters, he immediately lay down in the grass and untied a roll of raw cowhide from his back, pulled some reeds and barren grass from the side and inserted them into the small holes made in advance, like a gilly suit directly covered on his back, this thing is concealed secondly, mainly fireproof, he doesn't want to be detonated by a projectile rocket on the city wall, and then give him a corpse without bones.

Carrying a large bag on his back, he walked slowly among the wild grass like a tortoise that has endured the vicissitudes of time.

There was still no reaction on the walls.

Yang Qing became more and more careful, his ears comparable to that of a hunting dog, carefully listened to all the sounds in front of him, and distinguished from them where they belonged, but in these sounds he did not find anything abnormal, there were indeed patrolling soldiers walking around the city wall, but that was all. He did not stop until he reached the moat, and then listened motionless for another half minute, and then he stood up with confidence, took off a powder bag from his back, then took out the fire fold and lit the fuse, stood up and danced four or five times above his head, and then suddenly let go.

The gunpowder bag dragging the small tail of the fire instantly swept across the moat and fell into the doorway of the urn city at once.

Without the slightest hesitation, he grabbed the other two and threw them directly over the moat, and then jumped into the river and quickly swam to the opposite bank, and before he could swim to the shore, he saw a flash of fire above his head, and at the same time, the air waves accompanied by loud explosions hit the water, and even the originally erected suspension bridge fell under the impact of huge force. The next moment he burst out and rushed onto the riverbank. In the panic screams coming from overhead, he grabbed one of the remaining two gunpowder bags, and then crashed into the city gate hole where the smoke was still filled, stepping on the wreckage of the city gate and instantly rushing into the urn city, and at the moment of rushing out, he lit the fuse of the gunpowder bag, and threw it at the door hole of the main city gate opposite without the slightest hesitation.

Then he turned and ran out at full speed.

Almost at the same time as the explosion and fire flashed in his back, he turned around and hid next to the door of the urn city, and with the loud sound of the earth cracking that day, he quickly threw the flying tiger claw with the rope upward, and then picked up the last powder bag and climbed the rope and rushed to the wall of the urn city with a few steps......

"You used this method to blow up Niuzhuang, you used a night attack to break through Jinzhou, do you think you can play like this for the third time? Or do you take us all for fools? ”

On a Taishi chair downstairs in the opposite city, a burly middle-aged rat tail sat there and said with a cruel smile.

"Huh?"

Yang Qing subconsciously looked into the city behind him.

"Don't look at it!"

Ao Bai said happily: "I blocked the hole in the city gate with earth!" ”

And at the same time, the dense archers on the city tower above him aimed at Yang Qing.

"Then let's have another one!"

Yang Qing shouted, raised his hand and threw out the last gunpowder bag.

At the same time, he rushed forward at full speed along the walls of the urn city.

Ao Bai, who was originally sitting, jumped up without the slightest hesitation, and took the mace next to him and ran in front of him along the main city wall, and in a blink of an eye, the two collided together, and the mace in Ao Bai's hand fell on the head, and Yang Qing dodged a punch sideways and went straight to his temple. Ao Bai took a step forward to avoid it, and then the mace hit the ground at the same time, he twisted his left hand and swept backwards, Yang Qing jumped up like a gymnast, and the moment the mace swept under his feet, both hands grabbed Ao Bai's shoulders, but his body turned over above his head and fell straight to the city, and the latter's nearly two hundred pound body was immediately dragged by his strength to fall over.

And at the same time, a rag of flames tore apart the tower.

The brick and wood towers, along with the Qing archers inside, turned into countless fragments and scattered above their heads......
