Chapter 529: Black Clouds Crush the City
At this time, the busy soldiers in the city all stopped what they were doing and straightened up, they stood on a high place, and their vision was excellent, and they immediately saw the crowd of people all over the field, coming to Shangqiu City.
"So many people!" Liu Jun in the city showed panic on his face.
The officer next to him stretched his face and looked grim: "I can't see the head at a glance, it stretches for more than ten miles before and after, and at least 100,000 Tartars have come!" ”
The soldiers and civilians in the city couldn't help but let out a burst of exclamation, feeling a huge pressure in their hearts.
Liu Heizi had a gloomy face, and immediately waved his hand, "Let the brothers outside the city withdraw!" ”
The Tartars of Donkey Day actually sent so many soldiers and horses, which made Liu Heizi very shocked.
Last time, he teamed up with Gao Yihuan, and it took 70,000 people to barely eat 30,000 tartars, and he suffered heavy losses.
This time the Tartar came for 100,000, and it was really damn frightening, if it weren't for the city to resist, Liu Heizi might have to pee.
Looking at the figures coming from the wilderness, Liu Heizi realized that the Qing army's southward march this time was not an ordinary plunder, perhaps a war to destroy the country, which made him a little impulsive to slip away.
If the Qing army only plundered, it would not touch the heavily garrisoned city, Liu Heizi hid in the city for a few months, and after the Qing army finished looting and retreated north, he would be safe.
After Gao Yihuan reminded Liu Heizi, Liu Heizi still had such a fantasy in his heart, after all, the Tatars had entered the customs many times before, and they all returned to the north after a few months of looting, and it was not impossible for this possibility.
But watching the black lines in the distance gradually thicken, and quickly extending to both sides, the lines immediately turned into carpets, and like rolling black clouds, Liu Heizi's heart shook wildly.
There are 100,000 troops along the way, plus the road in Shandong, the Qing army will send at least 200,000 troops this time.
, this is the battle to destroy the country! When the Tartars attack Guanzhong, they will send 200,000 troops! Just the same specifications, as for Lao Tzu?
For a while, Brother Hei was a little panicked, and some regretted that he escaped from the battle last time and threw the Qing army to Gao Yihuan.
The sophomore year of high school is happy on the surface, but his heart is actually quite dark and stingy, and he doesn't know if that guy will come to save him.
At this time, a hurried alarm bell sounded in the city, and Sergeant Liu, who held a fire gun in both hands, a bow and arrow in the other, and a quiver hanging from his waist, climbed to the top of the city and quickly stood by the battlement.
The people who arranged horse-resisting stakes outside the city, put deer antlers, piled up low walls, and sprinkled iron thistles were in the sound of the bells, and they put down their things one after another, and poured into the city in some panic.
At this time, there was a low horn sound in the field, and the black line in the distance finally turned into a carpet, and then into countless figures, turning into a black cloud that crushed the city, approaching the city.
Looking at the rolling Qing army, seeing the thousands of hooves rushing in the wilderness, the soldiers in the city couldn't help but look left and right in a panic, but they saw that their comrades were squirming in their throats, and their eyes showed fear.
At this time, at the steps of the city, there was a sudden commotion, Ji Guofeng led a group of civil officials up, and several adults took a look at the city, and immediately their hearts trembled, and they suddenly retreated, and shouted, "Oh, there are so many people in the east!" ”
"How's that okay?" The overseers sent by the imperial court immediately panicked.
Liu Heizi was already flustered, but he was shocked by their exclamation, and he was upset by several civil officials, and he couldn't help frowning slightly.
Fortunately, Ji Guofeng has also seen the world, so he can still keep calm when he sees the Tartars overwhelming.
"Dashuai, the young and strong people in the city have been organized, and they are willing to listen to the deployment of the Dashuai at any time, and they are willing to contribute to the defense of the city!" Ji Guofeng glanced at the Tartar outside the city, and said to Liu Heizi with a fist.
Liu Heizi was a little confused in his heart, and looked at Ji Guofeng behind him, several civilian officials were already pale with fright, pointing at the Qing army and exclaiming from time to time, not like they were here to help, but like they were here to shake the hearts of the army.
Liu Heizi's nose was crooked, and he said to Ji Guofeng: "Old Ji, hand over the city to me, you better take them down to the city, I am calling you if there is something!" ”
Some of these civil officials are sent by Nanjing, and Liu Heizi doesn't like it very much, but he is not as good as Gao Yihuan, so he still has to give Nanjing some face.
Ji Guofeng glanced back and understood what Liu Heizi meant, they didn't know the soldiers, and they could only cause chaos in the city, so he nodded, looked at Liu Heizi, and said sincerely: "Dashuai, my life, and the people in the city are entrusted to you." ”
Liu Heizi was touched by Ji Guofeng's gaze, "Old Ji, aren't you still at ease?" ”
Ji Guofeng nodded, and was about to beckon a few civil officials to go down to the city, but Liu Heizi went and suddenly called: "Old Ji! ”
Ji Guofeng stopped his steps, turned around and looked at Liu Heizi, Liu Heizi stepped forward, pulled Ji Guofeng aside, hesitated, and said: "Old Ji, there are too many people in the Tartars, I will give you a bottom, and I don't have the confidence to hold on for long!" ”
"Don't panic!" Liu Heizi stopped Ji Guofeng from speaking and continued: "The Tartar cavalry is powerful, I am thinking that the superintendent may not be able to transfer troops to save me, you take advantage of the fact that the Tartars have not yet besieged the city, hurry up to Gao Yihuan for help, and let him pull the brothers." ”
Liu Heizi is not from the official army, and he can't play with other Ming troops, but he has a good relationship with Gao Jie, who is also from the thief army, but now Gao Jie is also difficult to protect himself, and Liu Zeqing and Xu Dingguo, the two turtle grandsons, may not come to save him.
At the critical moment, after thinking about it, only Gao Yihuan could help him.
Although he had already written a letter asking for help, Liu Heizi was still afraid that Gao Yihuan would not come, so he decided to let Ji Guofeng take a trip.
"Humble you know! Don't worry, I will definitely invite Gao Dashuai. Ji Guofeng looked at him deeply, nodded, and then turned around abruptly and hurriedly walked towards the city.
Those civil officials followed, and many of them were so frightened that they needed to support each other to get out of the city.
Liu Heizi couldn't help frowning when he saw it, just this little courage, if the Tartars hit the Yangtze River, they would not be scared to flee.
While speaking, the Qing army had already advanced to the city.
On the wilderness five or six miles away, the Qing army's horns were repeated, the sound echoed in the four fields, and groups of horses galloped back and forth, raising yellow dust one after another.
After the Qing army's forward cavalry occupied a large area, a large number of murderous Qing army horses marched in boundless formations, and a king flag stood in the ranks, and Duoduo rode on the war horse in high spirits, surrounded by a large number of generals, and entered the city of Shangqiu.
This time, he brought 12,000 true Manchuria, 18,000 Mongolian eight banners, 30,000 foreign vassals, and more than 40,000 green battalion soldiers, a total of 100,000 horses, and swooped down on Shangqiu.
Duoduo saw Shangqiu City from a distance, and suddenly raised his hand, and the army behind him stopped.
He stared at Shangqiu for a moment, and couldn't help but snort coldly, "A horse under the command of Gao Manzi dares to block my Daqing Iron Cavalry, or this king will slaughter this city and let the Southern Dynasty know how powerful I am in the Qing Dynasty!" ”
"Lord Wang, how are we going to fight!" Belenica, who was on the side, asked.
Duoduo pulled the reins of his horse and said with a smile, "Set up camp first, He Luo will lead you to lead 5,000 soldiers and horses to arrest people nearby, and Nikan you will lead 5,000 horse troops, bypass Shangqiu, go straight to Xuzhou, force the Ming army in Xuzhou into the city, and meet the 100,000 troops of the British king to cross the river!" ”
