Chapter 354: The Battle of Liaoyang VIII

The dark and dreary night, as if the boundless thick ink was heavily smeared on the sky, not even the glimmer of the stars, the mountain road was like a calm river, winding in the dense shadows of the trees, only those leaves rustled by the night wind, as if recalling the excitement and busyness of the day, the mirror-like moon hung in the sky, spreading the silver light to the earth, an occasional insect chirp, cutting through the silence of the night, and then fell into boundless silence, in the night sky, the dark clouds moved slowly in the breeze, after a while, The tired moon seemed to hide in the clouds to rest, leaving only a few stars as if to keep watch。。。。。。

Between the mountain roads, a group of dense black shadows quickly ran on the mountain road, many black shadows rubbed the leaves with a rustling sound, the dense black shadows were like a black snake from the netherworld quickly passed, without any stop, and soon disappeared into the night, and the mountains regained calm again, as if nothing had happened.

"Deputy Chief Wang! The Tartars are gone! Wang Zhijing's lieutenant said.

"I can see that the white flag has just passed, right?" Wang Zhijing seemed to be a little unsure, in his opinion, it was either the Mongolian coalition army or the blue flag, but he didn't expect it to be the white flag, although the night tonight was not bad, he could roughly see the cavalry walking under the mountain, but he was still a little incredulous.

"Deputy Chief Wang! It's a white flag! The adjutant general affirmed, and then asked, "When are we going to do it?" ”

Wang Zhijing frowned and thought for a while before saying, "Don't be in a hurry to move first!" This Tartar wants to know that we have to do something to the river, so it came quickly, now the morale is strong, and there are also preparations for battle, at this time the combat command increases our casualties, this white flag combat power is higher than the blue flag, although it has been damaged before, but the main force has not been injured bones, it is still a hard bone to gnaw, now is not the time to do it! ”

"That'。。。。。。。 Scrapped the original plan? The adjutant general said with some hesitation.

"Go and prepare some rocks, be sure to block their retreat for me, let the brothers rest for a few days, and when the Tartars relax, it will be the time for us to assault!" Wang Zhi said respectfully.

"The last general commands!" The deputy general left and sent people to prepare, while Zhang Xiao on the other side seemed to have the same tacit understanding as Wang Zhijing, the two gave the same order, and they both waited quietly, waiting for the best moment to attack.

"Report! Lord Belle! Message from General Nikan and General Ostrovsky! Please take a look at Lord Belle! "The subordinate passed on the information.

Hearing the news coming, Dolgon, who had been worried all night, finally let go of his hanging heart, and opened the information handed by the soldier, Dolgon opened it and looked at it, only to see that the two pieces of information were written with the same content: "Everything is normal!" ”

"Everything is fine?!" Dolgon looked at the information above and couldn't help frowning: "How can everything be normal?" Didn't the Ming army do anything to the Taizi River? Is it thinking too much? Too worried? Dolgon was a little puzzled, it all seemed a little illogical.

"Someone!" Dolgon said.

"The subordinates are here!" The soldier hurried in.

"Tell General Nikan and General Ostrovsky to pay more attention, you can carefully search the vicinity within a radius of a few miles, whether there is any trace of the Ming army! Always take precautions to avoid a sneak attack by the Ming army! Dolgon said.

"Subordinates take orders!" The soldier took the order and left.

In the days that followed, the armies of both sides spent time searching and counter-searching, and the daily intelligence sent to Dorgon was still four words: "Everything is normal!" And Dolgon looked at the Ming army outside the city that was strictly guarded and tightly formed, and couldn't help but fur in his heart, what did this Man Gui want to do? Seven days have passed, are you going to spend it like this? Dolgon estimated the current strength of the two sides, the Ming army except for the army sent out, now the besieging army can have seventy or eighty thousand, he estimates that it is already the sky, and it is not impossible for the army in his city to move out of 20,000 people to charge a wave, but looking at the unrelenting Ming army and the slightly dense artillery and muskets, he immediately dispelled this idea, although he knew that the Ming army would attack, but this kind of invisible, not in the grasp of the attack made him really a little uneasy, could it be that the Ming army deliberately wanted to transfer the garrison in the city? To alleviate the pressure of siege? Dolgon couldn't help but think of this, and was thinking about it, when suddenly there was a loud cannon fire outside the city, "Boom! "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" The long-lost artillery fire resounded in the sky above Liaoyang City again, and the Liaoyang defenders, who were originally a little lax, were suddenly frightened and panicked, and hurriedly drove outward, only to see that the Ming army outside the city began to clear the outer defense of Liaoyang at this time, and began to advance slowly with the cooperation of artillery and other firearms.

"Report! Lord Belle! The Ming army is attacking the city! His men ran in in a panic.

"Ben Baylor got it! Step aside! Dorgon stood up and waved.

"Yes!" The soldiers hurriedly retreated to assist in the defense of the city.

"Man Gui, Man Gui! Do you think you will attack by transferring Lao Tzu's two armies? Dream! Dorgon sneered, removed his spear from the shelf, and slowly walked out of the room and into the city.

Bows and arrows flying, rocks piercing through the air, the air is filled with disgusting thick gunpowder smoke, some smoke and dust brought in the air make some soldiers unable to open their eyes, many people wave their hands in disgust to remove the smoke and dust in the air, within the visible range of the defenders, their outer defense is slowly disappearing at a speed visible to the sight, although the defense is dense, but it can not withstand the attack of the Ming army's concentrated firepower, under the cover of artillery fire, all fortifications have become history, after the artillery fire, the infantry regiment joined the charge and launched an attack on some fortifications, It was then occupied, and then slowly moved inward with the help of artillery.

"Herald! Life...... As soon as Dolgon said that, halfway through the speech, suddenly two mobile troops had been sent out, and suddenly the words were stuck in half, and the back half could not continue.

"Lord Belle! What are the commands? The soldier hurriedly said.

"Adjust the artillery! Help defend the city ahead! Dolgon could only say.

"Yes!" The soldiers hurried to go.

Outside the city, Man Gui looked at Liaoyang City under artillery fire, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and then turned his head to the soldiers beside him and said, "Go!" Herald, do it tonight! Be sure to kill with one hit! ”

"Subordinates obey!" The soldiers hurried to deliver the order.

"Liaoyang! Let's hope it doesn't take too long! God bless me! Man Gui looked at Liaoyang not far away and muttered.
