Liangfangkou.

In the dark night, a large sand boat slowly headed north on the trumpet-shaped sea, and the narrowing waves in front of it gradually gathered into the surface of the Da Liao River.

"General, further forward is the pier platform of Jiannu!"

He Kun, the general manager on the deck, said respectfully.

The direction pointed by his right hand is equivalent to the location of the western city of modern Yingkou, and a beacon tower can be vaguely seen, standing in black and heavy on the gentle coastline formed by the alluvial sediment, with a little faint firelight, like a candle about to be extinguished, and there is no light in sight of it, and the whole coast is completely black, because the terrain is not undulating and the altitude is low, if you don't look carefully, it is even confused in the same black where the sea and the sky meet.

"What happens if you are discovered?"

Yang Qing said.

"The defenders of the pier will send someone to report to the defenders of Liangfangkou Fort, after all, it is a little abnormal for us to come here at this time, the latter is not far from the north, and the big bow bay is locked with cannons, and the ships entering and leaving will be subject to its interrogation, it is difficult for us to get through!"

He Kun said.

"Then let's call it!"

Yang Qing said indifferently.

Li Zicheng has begun to attack Shanhaiguan, and the start is smooth, in fact, after piling up Jingguan, the defenders of the southern wing city will simply open the door and surrender, Wu Sangui can only control the north wing city and Shanhaiguan city, Li Zicheng put all the artillery, including the heavy artillery removed by Huang Fei from the battleship, all placed on the wall of the south wing city and Wu Sangui to fight.

Once the walls were breached, all that was left was an army of more than 100,000 troops.

The days of using those ancient siege equipment have passed, and this is the mode of siege capital, where cannons collapse the walls and soldiers kill them.

However, Wu Sangui is also very tenacious.

Especially after knowing that Dolgon led at least 70,000 follow-up troops to arrive, it can be said that the morale in Shanhaiguan has skyrocketed, after all, the Guanning army knows very well what the 70,000 Eight Banners represent, and they don't think that any army can defeat the 80,000 Qing troops in the city. What's more, after adding the Qing army, they are not even inferior to their opponents in terms of strength, and it can almost be said that as soon as Dorgon's army arrives, their victory will be within reach, so of course they have to fight. Don't look at the current Shun army and the rebel army of the country seem to have the absolute upper hand, but as long as the Shanhaiguan is opened, it will be like a devastating sweep across Hebei, whether it is Zhili or Shandong or even the Shanxi gentry will welcome them, in fact, at this time, Shandong will respond to the holy decree they issued before.

What's more, they also have a fortress that can be said to be almost impregnable, Shanhaiguan City is really like an iron wall, and that city wall is really not something that ordinary cannons can gnaw.

And all they need is persistence.

Stick to it for no more than ten days.

Therefore, it is difficult for Li Zicheng to break through this fortress in a short time, he is constantly mobilizing more artillery, and even dismantling and loading all the ships on the Beijing city wall, and the key to the victory of this war has become how to block the Qing army to the greatest extent, so on the night of the battle in front of Shanhaiguan, Yang Qing boarded the warship and hurriedly went north, and at the same time he left, Huang Fei's 10,000 sailors also rushed to Gaizhou to start attacking.

Even Li Zicheng paid 100,000 silver in advance.

The money is with Empress Yi'an, waiting for the sailor to come back and distribute it according to the merits......

After all, if this war is won, it is Li Zicheng who will really get the benefits, Yang Qing and Huang Fei will take Chongzhen south at most, but Li Zicheng can get the entire north, and even if he fails, Yang Qing and Huang Fei can only pat their butts and leave, even if he doesn't enlarge Prince Ming, it's a big deal for people to go back to Jiangnan to help King Fu up, but at that time he was unlucky, King Fu and he are enemies of killing his father, this is really not the same day, so Li Zicheng is as eager to rescue Chongzhen as Yang Qing.

Anyway, he's not short of money!

He copied tens of millions of taels from his family, and even the salaries, military supplies and rewards of Huang Fei's department during this period were covered by him, and as a reward for Yang Qing to capture the flag of Azig, he gave 10,000 taels alone.

"General, it's dangerous to go any further."

He Kun interrupted Yang Qing's thoughts.

Yang Qing nodded, took off the flying fish suit on his body to reveal the black night clothes inside, and then jumped into the sea under the night, and then swam directly to the shore, ten minutes later, he stood up from the waist-deep sea water and quickly stepped on the shore, stepping on the soft sea sand and hiding into the bushy wild grass, almost silently appeared under the pier.

This thing actually resembles a turret.

It is a slightly narrowed column made of rammed earth or brick, and there is a Tibetan soldier cave inside to look at the sea in shifts, and the enemy is found to immediately light the beacon fire, but He Kun is completely too careful, at this time, the Qing army has long been not afraid of the Ming army's counterattack, and the soldiers guarding here are too lazy to stand guard in the middle of the night! Yang Qing didn't even use a rope, he easily climbed up the crack of the brick that had fallen into disrepair with his hands, and then quietly touched into the Tibetan Soldier Cave, a few rat tails slept soundly, he didn't even use a weapon, he wrenched his head and broke his neck in a blink of an eye, and then he used a lantern to send a light signal to the sea.

He Kun's warship quietly moved forward.

But Yang Qing didn't go back, he continued to the north, and soon Liangfangkou Fort appeared in view, and as before, he easily climbed the city wall again......

"Uh, excuse me!"

He looked at the two Qing soldiers in front of him in surprise.

The latter looked at him in amazement.

Almost at the same time, Yang Qing instantly pulled out the double knives behind his back for a minute, two cold lights crossed under the moonlight, and the two Qing soldiers immediately covered their necks, and fell down with almost gushing blood, lying there writhing in pain, while making a strange sound in his mouth that his trachea was blocked by blood, and beside them, Yang Qing's arms and double knives spread out to both sides like wings, and he was very intoxicated to take a deep breath of the night sea breeze, and then jumped down towards the city.

There was silence all around the landing.

"Pearl is secretly cast, wasting such a good shape!"

He said speechlessly.

After finishing speaking, he raised his foot and kicked open the door of the nearest barracks, and the Qing army in the room who was suddenly awakened opened his eyes blankly, and before he could get up, the dim light outside the door crossed the cold light, and in the blink of an eye, all the rat tails in the room were cut throats, and when Yang Qing turned around and walked out with two knives, most of the defenders in this castle were already surprised......

Actually, there aren't many people.

Liangfangkou Fort is just a small fort built in the Ming Dynasty in the Liaodong fortress group, with a total area of five acres, at best a border checkpoint, after the Qing army took over, because the strength of the naval division could not be compared with the Ming army, this kind of wetland along the beach is not suitable for their operations, so the defense core is placed in Niuzhuang, Haicheng, Yaozhouyi, Gaizhou line to avoid the vast wetland of Liangfangkou, only more than 100 people stationed here to do early warning.

At this time, these Eight Banners athletes, who didn't even have time to get dressed, were pouring out of the room in confusion, looking at this uninvited guest in amazement.

"Hurry up!"

An officer who didn't even bother with a knife suddenly came to his senses and roared.

Those with knives rushed forward.

Yang Qing roared like Uma Thurman in the decisive battle of the Aoba House, and instantly crashed into the Qing army, and the next moment the two Yanling knives turned into meat grinders, and under the dim fire light on the city wall, they kept throwing the blood light and flying, and in the blood light, the heads of the Qing soldiers fell, the limbs were broken, the internal organs flowed, and the severed arteries sprayed blood arrows. Just like the performances arranged in the movie, showing the demeanor of the protagonists with their deaths in various poses, Yang Qing also walked through them unscathed like the protagonist's halo possession, harvesting the lives of the Qing army with his weird killing instinct.

In the blink of an eye, no Qing army dared to face him.

Less than fifty men were frightened, unable to even take their weapons or clothes, and rushed to the stables like madness, ready to grab their horses and flee from this terrible enemy.

But they don't have Yang Qing's speed.

This guy carried a blood-dripping double knife, chasing them like a duck, constantly cutting the throats of one Qing army after another, stepping on their dying and struggling bodies forward, and when they caught up with the stable, the remaining Qing army was less than twenty.

"Don't, don't kill me!"

One of them, who was so frightened that he didn't climb on the horse, lay on the ground and begged.

Then the throat was cut in an instant.

"Early death, early liberation!"

Yang Qing said in the convulsions of his neck.

At this time, most of the other Qing troops got on their horses, but this did not change their situation, and the war horses crowded with each other in the chaos could not run, and when he encountered him who ran faster than a horse, he could not escape even if he ran. Yang Qing carried a double knife from back to front, constantly appearing next to the horse in the desperate eyes of those Qing soldiers, and then the Yan Ling knife stabbed the side and picked it forward, and went straight to the next one in the flow of the latter's internal organs, the poor fastest cavalry were all in front of the gate, and the Yan Ling knife that stabbed him from behind the moment he went down to open the door nailed him to the door.

He struggled to turn around and stretched out his hand to Yang Qing tremblingly.

"Thank you!"

Yang Qing took the reins from him and said with satisfaction.

Yang Qing, who had completed the bloodbath, quickly got on his horse and rushed out of the open gate, at this time He Kun's warship also appeared in Dagong Bay, but it was no longer possible for the defenders of Liangfangkou to intercept them, and it was also impossible to light a beacon fire to Niuzhuang to raise an alarm. Yang Qing rode a horse and a warship in parallel, and continued along the Daliao River, which has become a nomadic area for Mongolian tribes, and even if there were herdsmen at night along the way, they would not think that this was the attacker, after all, there was no alarm issued at Liangfangkou, so it was not uncommon for merchant ships to ride the tide upriver at night.

In this way, not long after midnight, Yang Qing, who was in front of the warning, saw Maquanzi City.

In the west of this small city, the pontoon bridge fixed by two iron cables crosses the Liao River, and on the west bank of the pontoon bridge stands in the river bay city, and the two cities and a bridge together constitute the Sancha River defense system.

It's just that the lights of camping on both sides of the strait are as dense as stars......

Dolgon's army had arrived, and some of them had crossed the Sancha River.

Without the slightest hesitation, Yang Qing turned around and rushed towards the warship that was also faintly visible.
