Xianfeng panicked, didn't care about putting on clothes, wrapped a leather jacket, and rushed out. As soon as the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info arrived at the door, the little brother suddenly sounded, and he hurriedly said: "Bring the concubine, the little brother and the queen, and the concubine Yi!" ”

"Huh!" Zhu Leheng hurriedly agreed, and hurriedly asked the pro-army guards to come to Long Yuan and a few carriages, and helped Xianfeng and Yiying Concubine in.

Poor Xingzhen had just given birth yesterday, her body was extremely weak, and after another toss, she was even more unbearable, her face was directly pale, and she was motionless and let the palace maid carry her into the carriage.

Xianfeng was terrified in his heart, until he sat on the dragon chariot, his whole body was still trembling, his whole body seemed to be drained of his strength, and his throat was also dry for a while, he urgently needed to light the Fushou ointment and suck it to calm himself down.

As an emperor, he is the only one in the Qing Dynasty, and there are not many dynasties. Xianfeng's joy of having an heir just now was all shattered at once!

I hope that the carriage can hurry up, break out of the encirclement of the Cantonese thieves, and hurry to the Miyun camp or the Zhili Admiral's Office in Gubeikou, where there are still a lot of troops, although they may not be able to beat the thieves, but they can help resist, so that they can smoothly reach Rehe.

The 3,000 soldiers of the cavalry battalion in front of the road opened the way, and the soldiers of the forward battalion on each side guarded both sides, and the 500 guards in the middle protected Xianfeng, the concubine and a cadre of important ministers in the court, and the soldiers of the 2,000 cavalry battalion fought with the thieves to drag each other, and the army hurriedly rushed to the northeast where the thieves' guns were the most sparse, and this direction was to Miyun County.

Xianfeng sat in the carriage, and from time to time there were gunshots in his ears, as well as killing shouts, screams and wails, and his heart was in his throat.

Fortunately, it seems that the thieves did not have much troops in the northeast, and under the impact of the three thousand cavalry battalions, they quickly opened a gap and rushed forward.

Less than two miles past the post station, there is a small valley, and the official road passes through the middle of the valley.

When Xianfeng was nervous, the army had already entered the valley. As soon as the Qing army entered the valley, suddenly there was a wailing sound of horses in front of them, but it was many horses from the cavalry battalion that crashed into the huge obstacles, and people turned over on their backs.

The coachman brought the carriage to an emergency stop. It was pitch black all around, except for the neighing of war horses in the near distance, there was a shouting of killing, and not far away, there were bursts of dense gunfire.

"Your Majesty, we have been fooled, the Cantonese thieves deliberately lured us to break through to this valley, they have already laid ambushes on both sides of this official road! The official road ahead was blocked by boulders and large trees. According to the slaves, it is better to abandon the car and ride a horse instead, so as to break out of the encirclement of the thieves. The Imperial Guard, Zhuleheng, ran over and suggested anxiously.

Xianfeng was frail and sickly, he broke his leg while riding a horse when he was young, and he already had a psychological shadow, so he let him escape on horseback at this moment, and suddenly hesitated.

At this time, on the slopes on both sides of the valley, there was a whirring sound, and I saw more than ten rockets dragging red flames, whistling from the hillside into the valley around the official road, hundreds of war horses were frightened, and they rushed into a riot, and many war horses also became commotion.

Two rockets hit the concubine's carriage, setting one of the carriages on fire, and several concubines and palace maids inside jumped out of the carriage and fled.

Xianfeng was stunned! He had never seen a firearm like this! That majesty makes people feel timid from the heart. Can't hesitate anymore!

Fortunately, Xianfeng is not a rigid person, knowing that the emperor's dignity and face are empty at this moment, and it is nothing to suffer a little crime, only escaping is the most important thing. According to Zhu Leheng's arrangement, Xianfeng rode a batch of war horses that could not see clearly at night, Zhu Leheng was not at ease, and tightened the saddle.

Xianfeng thought of his newborn son and those concubines, and hurriedly shouted: "Little Brother, you must bring Little Brother!" There are also concubines and queens. ”

At this time, the rockets and gunfire became more intensive, listening to the gunfire around them, getting closer and closer, and even the shouts of the thieves who came with the wind could be heard: "Capture the dog emperor alive, torture well!" ”

"Emperor Xianfeng Dog, surrender quickly!"

"Qing Demon Full Banner Tartar, surrender and don't kill!"

Xianfeng was even more frightened.

More than a dozen guards came over, and before they were close, they were already shouting: "Long live, Lord Dutong, the thieves have been killed, please quickly follow the minions to break through!" ”。 Hearing this, Zhu Leheng's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly urged: "Your Majesty, it's too late!" ”

After speaking, he shouted to those guards and the two staff leaders: "You first escort the emperor to the northeast to Miyun City, I have already sent someone to inform the deputy capital of Miyun Fuhai yesterday, and let him lead the troops to meet him outside the city in advance." The other ones, follow me to the back to protect the Empress Dowager and Brother! ”

Xianfeng was relieved when he heard that Zhu Leheng personally led people to protect the concubine and others, he knew that the situation was critical at the moment, and he didn't care about thinking so much, so he grabbed the horse's belly, surrounded by more than 100 guards, followed by the sergeants of the forward battalion and the cavalry battalion, and rushed towards the darkness.

……

More than 1,000 horsemen and 5,000 infantry flooded the entire small valley around.

Originally, there were 800 horsemen led by Zhang Ying, and later after the Battle of Bali Bridge, nearly 2,000 horses of the Qing army were captured, and the uninjured ones were selected, and more than 2,000 horses were handed over to the Ninth Division, led by Shi Dakai and Tan Shaoguang, which were specially used to carry out the secret mission of the Holy King.

Shi Dakai led dozens of personal guards and Tan Shaoguang to ambush the Qing army at the post station. First, in the Holy Army, no one is familiar with the combat methods of cavalry, and when Shi Dakai was in the Taiping Army, he was quite familiar with cavalry, and secondly, Feng Yunshan also intended to give him a great credit.

The two regiments of the cavalry were led by Shi Dakai, while the other four main infantry regiments were still commanded by Tan Shaoguang.

The reason why it is said that it is horsemen, not cavalry, is that half of these soldiers of the captive army have just learned to ride horses, and only the 800 soldiers of the original Zhang Ying regiment can barely shoot on horseback. Therefore, they are not cavalry at all, but only infantry who can ride horses.

However, even so, at this moment, these horsemen with torches surrounded the entire valley within a radius of two or three miles, and marched in all directions, while the five thousand infantry surrounded both ends of the official road in the valley.

At this moment, Shi Dakai and Tan Shaoguang were standing on a dirt slope with one person and one rider. Behind the two of them, there were more than 800 horsemen from Zhang Ying's horse team, all of whom were full of fighting spirit.

Everyone watched the bazookas on the mountainside keep pouring over the heads of the chaotic Qing troops on the official road, and a sense of happiness surged in their hearts.

"King Yi, if you can really capture the Tartar Emperor alive in this battle, it will be a great achievement!" Tan Shaoguang's face was shone by the flames dragged by the tail of the rocket in mid-air, and his face was full of excitement.

"Hard to say! It's not good to fight a demon, but it's not bad to escape! Like the Mongols, they claimed to live on horseback, and they were skilled in horsemanship, and it was estimated that they would be difficult to capture. Shi Dakai shook his head and said with a solemn face: "Now I can only hope that the Dog Emperor will be shot to death, or just collide with him and capture him." However, he has the protection of thousands of cavalry of the Qing Demon, I'm afraid it will be very difficult! ”

Tan Shaoguang was not disappointed when he heard this, and said with undiminished interest: "Even if you can't catch the Dog Emperor, it's good to catch his concubines and ministers." ”

Shi Dakai nodded and said, "Not bad!" Shi had sent the 800 horsemen of the Zhang Ying brothers to the northeast corner, waiting for the Qing demon to flee there. There are also a lot of tripping ropes and thistles in that wasteland, but I don't know if I can trip over the big fish of the Qing Demon. ”

As soon as the words fell, two horsemen came to report: "King Yuyi, Master Tan, the Qing Demon fled in three directions." Among them, more than 3,000 cavalrymen, escorting a large group of important people, rushed out of the official road and climbed over the mountainside. However, hundreds of people were killed on the spot by the soldiers of our capture army, and thousands of people were killed. But there are too many Qing soldiers, and the remaining more than 1,000 horsemen are fleeing to our side! ”

"The other two directions are to cover the main force of the three thousand Qing Demons! More than 1,000 Qing demons rushed back in the direction of the official road, and all of them were killed by the soldiers of our captive army. In addition, more than 1,000 Qing demons, abandoned their horses, climbed over the blocked official road, and prepared to flee in the direction of Huairou County, but they were caught up by our more than 1,000 horse teams, killed more than 300 people, captured 500 or 600 people, and the remaining 100 people were estimated to hide in the mountains and forests, and did not know where to go. ”

After listening to the letter, Tan Shaoguang's face was overjoyed, and he said admiringly: "King Yi, Tan has served you!" It's really a clever calculation, no wonder the Holy King sent you here to set up an ambush in person. ”

The Holy King pointed out that King Yi was the main general in this battle, although the soldiers who ambushed Xianfeng were all brothers of the Ninth Division who were good at rapid marching, and although Tan Shaoguang was the commander of the Ninth Division, he was only a deputy general.

Shi Dakai took a few surrendered Qing demon captives, led 2,000 horsemen to secretly arrive at the valley on the first day, according to the confession of the Qing demon captives, arranged in the valley, and set up tripping ropes on the road to Miyun City, etc., to prepare the boulders and trees blocking the official road in advance.

Moreover, in terms of the allocation of troops for the ambush, Shi Dakai also carefully designed it. On the mountainsides on both sides of the valley, rockets and musketeers were arranged to deter the enemy, while the main infantry was placed in the direction where the Qing demons were most likely to flee - to the northeast of Miyun City.

In addition, Shi Dakai and Tan Shaoguang personally led more than 800 horsemen of Zhang Ying's horse team, which had good riding skills, all of them ambushed in the wilderness of Erli in the northeast of the valley in the direction of Miyun, forming a second line of defense, as if they expected that the Qing demon would flee to the direction of Miyun as soon as it was ambushed.

Sure enough, after the Qing Demon was attacked, he fled in panic, although he rushed out of the first encirclement, he faced the second line of defense carefully arranged by Shi Dakai. Seeing this, Tan Shaoguang had to admire the accuracy of King Yi's calculation.

"It's still the Holy King's clever plan. Let's not talk about it, Brother Tan, brothers, check the musket, load the ammunition, get ready, and as soon as the Qing Demon enters the eighty steps, they will fire together according to my orders! Shi Dakai shouted in a serious voice, causing the eight hundred horsemen behind him to tense up suddenly.
