Although after the official document took over, the Zhili Qing army has made great progress after many actual combat experiences, but after all, it is still incomparable with the real ** sharp, plus it has launched many high-intensity battles in four days and three nights, and morale, physical strength and fighting spirit have been greatly affected. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Therefore, the command and dispatch of the monk and the prince were slightly negligent, and after failing to rotate the army in time to continue the intensity of the attack, the Qing army on the side of Chongwenmen was finally defeated, and the exhausted Qing soldiers could not be rotated by the fresh army, and could no longer charge to the top of the city wall. I'd rather be dealt with by military justice than stay in the city and die in vain.

With the defeat of the Qing army, the officers and men of the Wu army, who had hardly had any time to rest for a few days, did not even have the strength to cheer, but just seized the time to drink water and gasp, bandage the wounds, and swallow the already cold food with their hands.

The situation of the Qing army was not much better, and after just retreating from the front line, many Qing soldiers returned to their positions and immediately lay down in the ice and snow and fell asleep, and the Qing army generals who commanded this Qing army commando were also worried, and had no choice but to be mentally prepared to be beheaded by the monk prince in front of the battle -- the monk prince's violent temper was quite famous.

The next wave of Qing army commandos who were seizing the time to rest were also worried, tremblingly waiting for the attack order of the monk and the prince, forcing them to rush into the bloody and cruel meat grinder on the Chongwenmen battlefield again, exchanging countless blood and lives for the slim chance of breaking the city, nervousness and uneasiness filled the tired faces of these Qing soldiers, and the shouts of longing to retreat and rest echoed in the hearts of these Qing soldiers over and over again.

At this time, a miracle occurred, and a new order was issued by the monk and the prince, who actually ordered the Qing army of Chongwenmen to temporarily stop the attack, so that the artillery could cover the head of Chongwenmen and prepare for the next round of attacks. At the same time, for the Qing army commandos who retreated on their own without Mingjin, the monk did not do any punishment!

"Long live the monk!"

Hearing this order, the Qing army soldiers suddenly boiled, clapping their hands to welcome the benevolent military order of the monk and the prince, there were countless Qing army soldiers who sat directly on the snow, lying down and falling asleep, no matter how the Qing army artillery fired intensively again roared, they all slept extremely sweetly.

Of course, the soldiers of the Wu army who are more qualified to welcome the order of the monk and the prince, although the shells of the Qing army that continue to throw at the head of the city are also threatening the lives of the soldiers of the Wu army, but such a threat is undoubtedly ten times smaller than the soldiers of the Wu army, so they cheered and scrambled to sit behind the female wall to avoid the bombs at the dead corner, none of the soldiers of the Wu army were not happy, and none of them did not hope that the artillery preparation time of the Qing army would be longer. It is better to prepare artillery fire for a whole night.

After keenly discovering that the Chongwenmen side had stopped the brutal ant war, the Qing soldiers on the side of Zhengyangmen and Xuanwumen naturally saw the hope of getting rest time, and without anyone giving an order to hint, the Qing soldiers who were dragging their tired pace and charging had already slowed down their pace, slowed down the speed of putting the flying ladder on the city wall, and kept looking back, nervously hoping that the sound of the retreating gong would sound from the self-army position as soon as possible.

In order to kill the enemy retreating from the city as soon as possible and gain time to rest and adjust, the soldiers of the Wu army on the city wall worked hard, all of them went crazy, and the stone ash bottles were constantly smashed down the city wall like hail raindrops, and even poured gunpowder and oil to set fire to the enemy. As a result, the Qing commandos under the Zhengyangmen and Xuanwumen cities were quickly repulsed, and the monk and prince, who cherished the soldiers, also decisively suspended the ant warfare that the Qing soldiers had been afraid of, and instead prepared with artillery fire, densely covering the cityhead position with long-range firepower.

For such a situation, Zeng Guoquan of course bowed to the heavens in front of the Forbidden City gate, thanking the heavens for their blessing and sending down incredible miracles. Devil Six, Hui Lao Wangye, and Alcohol Wangye, who did not understand military affairs, were at a loss, although it was somewhat strange why there was only the roar of artillery in the north, and there was no longer gunfire and human noise, but they did not understand the strangeness at all.

In the end, it was only at the third watch that when the comatose official woke up again, he heard the abnormality from the voice coming from the front, and immediately asked, "What gunfire has stopped?" There is no shouting for killing? What is the use of just hitting a cannon? ”

The devil and the others were all unable to answer the official question, and the official was helpless, so he had to send someone to ask the monk and the prince directly about the reason, and the monk and the prince's reply was quickly sent back to the official text, "The artillery is preparing and adjusting the army, and the ants will be fought in a while." ”

Knowing the answer, the official was silent for a long time, and only after a while did he say to the herald in a difficult voice: "Go and tell the monk and the prince, just say that there is no need to fight ants and wars, and there is no need to prepare for artillery fire, stop the siege, withdraw the army to rest, reorganize the soldiers and horses after dawn, first fight with the Wu thieves in Shanxi, and then fight the inner city." ”

The herald took the order and left, and the devil six was also surprised and asked, "Guanzhitai, what do you mean by this?" Why did you agree to use the tactics of the monk again? ”

The official text smiled bitterly, and only after a while did he say something that the devil didn't understand, "The morale has been discharged, and the Wu thief has relieved his anger again, and if he continues to attack the city, he will let the soldiers die in vain." ”

After that, the official Wen ordered his own soldiers to call a few imperial doctors who had treated him, and instructed them: "Starting tomorrow morning, you will wait by the old man's side at any time, prepare enough ginseng soup, and if the old man faints again, no matter what method you use, you must wake the old man up immediately." ”

"Lord Guan, your body is so weak, how can you still drink ginseng soup to strengthen it?" Several of the Imperial Physicians changed their faces.

"Don't talk nonsense." Guan Wen shook his head and said: "Remember, if the old man faints, no matter what method is used, the old man must be woken up immediately, if something happens to you, it has nothing to do with you, and the old man will not pursue you." ”

"Official platform, you are ......." Devil Six's voice trembled a little.

"Lord Wang, you don't have to persuade me." Guan Wen's voice was weak, but his expression was extremely firm, and he muttered: "Tomorrow's decisive battle with the Wu thieves in Shanxi, the old man must personally command!" ”

After the order to withdraw troops issued by the official document himself was conveyed to all departments of the Qing army, of course, there were cheers in the ranks of the Qing army, and the steps of retreating back to the camp were also lighter and lighter, but the Wu army did not even hear the sound of cheering for victory in the city, and some were just snoring like thunder one after another, and the soldiers of the Wu army lying all over the ground.

Zeng Guoquan didn't cheer either, after arranging the army to change the defense in the city, as well as the auxiliary soldiers who carried the sleeping soldiers down to the city to rest, Zeng Guoquan didn't bother to guess the real reason for the sudden retreat of the Qing army, just sat on the handsome chair, ordered the enemy to come and wake me up, and then tilted his head, and he also snored loudly and fell asleep immediately. As a result, Zhang Zhidong next to him completely dispelled the idea of becoming an army commander in the future, and said secretly: "It's better to be a civilian official who comes up with ideas, and it's too tiring to be the army commander." ”

After muttering, Zhang Zhidong also studied the reason for the sudden retreat of the Qing army, and said secretly: "How could the chaotic army suddenly retreat? Are you ready to play tricks? Or is it really impossible to hold on and can only give up the siege? Or rather, our reinforcements are coming? Impossible, our reinforcements can't come so quickly? ”

Zeng Guoquan is only one point obviously inferior to the monk prince, that is, Zeng Guoquan, who was born as a scholar, is far inferior to the monk who is skilled in physical energy, just when Zeng Guoquan has snored loudly, and when Zhang Zhidong did not understand why the Qing army suddenly withdrew its troops, our monk and prince still tossed and turned in his bedroom with dark circles under his eyes.

"Finally waited for this day, there are not many foreign guns and cannons, and there is no city to defend, if this king can't completely annihilate the Wu thieves in Shanxi, I will be too sorry for the spirits of the two emperors in the sky!"

The monk who was determined to serve the country soon couldn't laugh, and the next day after dawn, when the monk and the prince rushed to the Qing army headquarters to prepare for the battle, he just entered the handsome hall, and was extremely dumbfounded to see the sick Guan Wengao sitting on the handsome chair, and greeted himself with a slight smile, and asked: "Monk Wangye, it's really early, how is it?" Has the army been put in order? ”

"It has been explained and rectified, and the reorganization will be completed before three o'clock in the time limit." The monk replied a little worriedly, and asked even more worriedly: "Xiufeng, is your illness better?" ”

"Much better." Guan Wen picked up the tea bowl in front of him, took a sip of the warm and thick ginseng soup that was harmful to himself, and then said with a smile: "The hard-working monk and the prince, please sit down, at three o'clock, we will raise the account on time to count the troops." ”

Suddenly understood something, the monk prince's expression suddenly became gloomy, but he didn't dare to attack in front of the devil six and others who were looking at him, so he could only sit obediently next to the old prince Hui who was familiar with him without saying a word, and kept quietly peeking at the official expression, just hoping that this damn old slave would quickly lie down again and hand over the command to himself again.

It's a pity that the official document did not lie down as the monk and the prince wished, on the contrary, he was obviously in good spirits, and he kept looking at the casualty data reported by the Qing army battalions with a smile on his face, the number of existing troops, and at the same time, the meteor exploration reports of the Wu army in Shanxi also kept coming, crossing the Yongding River, and entering Pang Gezhuang, without considering any physical problems and going north directly. The monk couldn't help beating the drum again in his heart, and said secretly: "No, do you want to let this old slave pick a big bargain?" ”

The hour finally arrived, and the official wen immediately ordered the drums to gather the generals, but at this time, the official wen finally appeared obviously unsupported, leaning on the handsome chair and his face was gray, but unfortunately when the monk was ecstatic in his heart, several uninteresting imperial doctors suddenly rushed up and stabbed a needle in the official person, and the devil six also fed the official wen a bowl of hot ginseng soup with his own hands, and the official wen's expression quickly regained his calm.

"It turned out that he was hanging his life by ginseng soup." The monk suddenly realized, and hummed in his heart: "See how long you can last!" ”

The generals of the Qing army soon arrived, and the official Wen also smiled and quickly arranged the decisive battle plan that he had been thinking about for a long time, and decided to leave only part of the necessary troops to monitor the Wu army in Mancheng, and the main force was dispatched to fight a decisive battle with the Wu army in Shanxi outside Beijing. At the end, the official document also forcibly raised his voice, and said: "Generals, this battle must be fast, and it must be resolved quickly, and we must not give the Wu thieves in the inner city the opportunity to dredge the city gate and receive their reinforcements into the city, and we must take advantage of the opportunity of the Shanxi Wu thieves to come from afar and completely defeat them in one fell swoop!" Got it? ”

"Understood!"

The generals of the Qing army agreed to keep it neatly, the official nodded with a difficult smile, and was about to wave his hand to let the generals go down to lead the troops out of the city, but suddenly a scout rushed outside the door to report, and said: "The official marshal, the front of the Wu thief in Shanxi has arrived in Huangzhuang, and he has entered the camp left by Zeng Guoquan's rebel thief before, and the camp is being reorganized!" ”

"What?" Guan Wen's surprise was not trivial, he stood up directly, and asked, "What did you say?" The front of the Wu thieves in Shanxi was stationed in the camp abandoned by Zeng Guoquan's rebels? ”

"Hui Dashuai, that's exactly the case." The scout replied truthfully.

Guan Wen's face turned gray, he sat back in the handsome chair directly, his eyes rolled and fainted directly, the imperial doctor next to him hurriedly pounced, rubbed his chest and pricked the needle and quickly rescued, and the devil six also pounced to check the situation, but after finally waking up, the official text immediately grabbed the hand of the devil six, and said weakly: "Chen Guorui, lead the people of the headquarters to the south to prevent the Wu thief from setting up camp, and must not let the Shanxi Wu thief gain a firm foothold in Huangzhuang." ”

Devil Six tearfully agreed, and quickly turned around and ordered Chen Guorui to attack, Chen Guorui knew that the situation was urgent, and as soon as he gave his hand, he rushed out to lead the troops out of the city, and the official Wen gritted his teeth and drank a bowl of ginseng soup, forcing himself to recover quickly, and then ordered: "The whole army is assembled out of the city and ready to attack." ”

The generals of the Qing army were ordered to leave, and the official Wen ignored the hard persuasion of the devil Ziliu and the imperial doctor, and even ignored the kindness of the monk and the prince, and forcibly ordered his own soldiers to put themselves on a sedan chair and take the sedan chair out of the city to personally command the battle.

In the biting cold wind, the main force of more than 20,000 Qing troops went out of the city and assembled, and the official Wen took a sedan chair to the Chinese army flag array, and led the army south, but the road was not half completed, and there was an urgent report from the front, playing: "The official marshal, General Chen Guorui's army is one step late, and the main force of Shanxi Wu thieves is stationed in Huangzhuang, and General Chen waves his army to attack, and the battle situation is unfavorable." ”

After fainting again, Guan Wen refused to give up, and urged the army to rush all the way to the Huangzhuang position, but what made Guan Wen disappointed was that Chen Guorui's troops, who attacked first, still failed to enter the Wu army camp to stop the Wu army from setting up camp, and the Wu army had already relied on the ruins of the camp left by Zeng Tie Barrel, and hurriedly built a simple but solid camp defense line, and had already set up artillery with the army, and was firing frantically at Chen Guorui's army.

Desperately observing the camp of the Wu army's Jiang Zhongji Department, the official text concluded that although the camp of the Shanxi Wu army was not impossible to breach, the main force of the Qing army, which had only obtained a short rest, was difficult to break through this camp with confidence, and once the attack failed, the relieved Shanxi Wu army was very sure that it would break through successfully and kill it to the city to join Zeng Guoquan......

"Is the sky going to die in my Qing Dynasty? Do you really want to gamble at any cost? But can the old man's body hold up at that moment? ”

When the official text was desperate, the devil six and the monk came to make matters worse, and the devil six said: "The official system, the seventh brother who stayed in the outer city sent someone to report urgently, saying that Zeng Guoquan rebel thieves are sending people to dredge Fuchengmen and Xizhimen, as if they have noticed that Shanxi Wu thieves have rushed to the periphery of the capital. ”

Guan Wen closed his eyes even more desperately, knowing that it must be the large-scale attack of the self-army that made Zeng Guoquan understand that the reinforcements had arrived, so he prepared the road into the city for the reinforcements in advance......

When this scene came to mind, an idea, a brilliant idea of surviving in the dead and turning defeat into victory suddenly appeared in Guan Wen's heart, which made Guan Wen's heart overjoyed, and he suddenly recovered a lot of strength, and quickly grabbed the devil six with his left hand, grabbed the monk with his right hand, pulled them in front and whispered: "The old man has a way, use my method to fight, not only can you defeat the Wu thief, but also recapture the inner city!" ”

"What's the solution?" Devil Six hurriedly asked.

"Sixth Prince, Monk Prince, please remember the steps!" The official voice was weak, and he said: "Don't fight the camp of the Wu thieves in Shanxi today, give our soldiers more time to rest, immediately withdraw the troops, the main force is stationed outside the city, divide the army into the city, strengthen the outer city, and prepare to attack the city again." ”

"At night, he secretly dispatched Yuan Baoheng's army, put on the white hat of a Wu thief, branded the banner of a Wu thief, and secretly ambushed the mountains and forests around Shijingshan."

Guan Wen's voice became weaker and weaker, and he said: "The old man can conclude that Jiang Zhongji's thief army will definitely not venture north tonight, but will only rest overnight and march tomorrow, and Zeng Guoquan's rebel thief will definitely try his best to get in touch with Jiang Zhongji's thief army and tell him that the road into the city cannot be stopped." ”

"Tomorrow, we must make every effort to prevent Jiang Zhongji's thief army from entering the city from the west ...... of the inner city, the west two gates, drag the ......, delay the time, when the time is ripe, first disrupt the battlefield, and then we will suddenly defeat, let the Shanxi Wu thieves rush to the two gates of the west city to enter the city, and then ......, and then, Yuan Baoheng's army will ......, you can fish in the water, and enter the city together with the Shanxi thief army, and then ......, break through the ......, and suddenly make a difficult ......, and attack the ...... at the same time, attack the city, and ...... will be , and ...... will win."

Sensing that the situation of the official document was not good, Devil Six hurriedly fed the official text ginseng soup again, and asked: "The official table, when will you start fishing in troubled waters?" ”

"Needless to say." The monk and the prince hurriedly said: "Of course it's night, after it's dark, so that Yuan Baoheng can smoothly blend into the inner city." ”

Hearing the words of the monk and the prince, Guan Wen's whole body was shocked, and he subconsciously clenched the hand of the monk and the prince, and when he opened his mouth to speak, he slowly lowered his head with his eyes open............

"Bureaucracy! Xiufeng! Devil Six didn't dare to cry loudly to shake the army's heart, so he could only chew his lips and bleed with tears.

"Xiufeng, don't worry, this king will definitely use your legacy to recapture the capital! Kill all the Wu dogs to avenge you! The monk also shed heroic tears for the first time, and tried to close the round eyes for the official text, but unfortunately, he never succeeded.
