At the time of the third watch, a fast horse galloped over, and immediately a herald held a flag, and went all the way down from the first line of defense, crossing the barbed wire and dark ditch, and went straight to Ningyuan City.

"Prepare for battle!" The soldiers on each line of defense spread the word of mouth, and the battle was about to break out.

Cheng Li and Lin Bai, who were on the first line of defense, had already driven the Tiangang Five Thunders, and as long as the Tartars came up, they would fight!

"Woo." Cheng Li whistled at Lin Bai on his right, reminding him to get ready. Lin Bai made an ok gesture, of course, this gesture was also taught by Zhu Qing, but Lin Bai only realized that it was the third watch after last night, so he whistled back and told Cheng Li that everything was ready.

Everyone lurked silently, staring closely around the corner ahead, which was the direction in which the Tartar had come.

However, half a pillar of incense had passed since the herald's arrival, but the Tartar had not shown up for a long time.

It turned out that when the Qing army was about to pass around the corner, Dolgon suddenly stopped.

"Prince Rui? Why not move on? Speaking of the troops halting their advance, Dodor asked.

"Do you remember the last time you suffered a big loss? Ning Yuan is the station to go to Qinglong, this person can repel your 60,000 army with 10,000 people, he is by no means an idle person, and he is from Jinyiwei, our 60,000 army crusades against Ning Yuan, Qinglong cannot be unprepared. Go, send a few people to investigate, don't fall into the ambush of the green dragon. "Dorgon, indeed, was much more cautious than Dordor.

"The last general understands!" Duoduo received the order and selected three people from the reconnaissance army, "You guys, immediately sneak into Ningyuan's territory and investigate the reality of the Ming army!" What's the situation, quick return! ”

"Wow!" The three spies were ordered to spy in Ningyuan. This was a bit unexpected by Ning Yuan's defenders, they saw that only three people of the Qing army, known as the 60,000 army, had touched in at the moment, and their hearts were full of doubts, if these three people were let through, with the strength of their spies, they would inevitably find the barbed wire on the ground, and even find ambushes, but if they were solved, Dolgon found that the spies were coming and going, and they would inevitably expose Ning Yuan's situation, what should I do?

Lin Bai watched the spies get closer and closer, so he made a bird call to Cheng Li, meaning to fight or not?

Cheng Li replied with a bird call, saying that he would not fight for the time being, and would look at the situation first.

Lin Bai had no choice but to hold back. But waiting like this is not a solution, and the Qing army spies will not stop investigating.

In desperation, Cheng Li learned a bird call loudly, which was a code signal to convey the information of the discovery of the spies.

"What sound?" A spy exclaimed.

"Hey, were you scared by the last battle, isn't it just the sound of birds." One laughed.

"It's better to be careful." Another spy said cautiously. The three of them continued to move forward.

At this time, Xuanwu on the city gate received Cheng Li's message.

"General, there are spies, what should I do?" An adjutant general said warily.

"The three watches have not fought, and they are indulgent and high-pitched...... Do you remember this phrase that the general said before leaving? Xuanwu suddenly remembered Zhu Qing's explanation before leaving.

"The three watches have not fought, and they are indulgent and high-pitched? At this time, it was already the third watch, and the enemy did not attack for a long time, but sent spies to come, and the general wanted us to indulge in high-pitched feelings? Why is that? The adjutant general wondered.

"Hmph, that's exactly what the general asked us to do. What are the spies here for? Xuanwu smiled.

"Spy on intelligence."

"Then if Ningyuan City is drunk and dreaming of death, how will the Tartars react?"

"Doesn't that play into their hands? Caught us off guard! ”

"That's right. General, this is telling us about counter-reconnaissance! Xuanwu smiled.

"Anti-reconnaissance? Do you mean to confuse the enemy with illusions? ”

Xuanwu smiled at the corner of his mouth and nodded, "Quick, let the brothers in the city sing and guess the code!" Remember, it's still going to be a fire! ”

"My subordinates understand!" The deputy general smiled and hurriedly stepped back to implement it.

Suddenly, Ningyuan City was full of singing and dancing, and the bonfire was emitting green smoke and lighting firelight.

"Get me high!" Xuanwu laughed loudly. The word "Hi" naturally comes from Zhu Qing's mouth.

"Huh? What is the matter with the brothers in this city? The enemy is still in the mood to sing and dance? At this time, the defenders of Ningyuan outside the city were also confused, because Zhu Qing had only said this sentence to Xuanwu. When Lin Bai heard the hustle and bustle, he looked back and saw that the flames were soaring into the sky, and he wondered in his heart. Only Cheng Li smiled and nodded.

"General, what now?" An archer asked about the time of the match.

Sai Shiqian looked at the firelight in the city and said with a smile, "They jump them, we beat ours, all keep an eye on me." ”

"Yes!"

This trick even confused their own people, and the three Qing army spies looked at it from a distance, and when they heard it, "Tartar Tartar is coming, hey, kill and kill...... "Obediently, this song ...... This is like a war, it's a celebration!

"Humph! Let's see how long you're still arrogant! Walk! Go back and report to the Prince! "When the Qing army spies were approaching the first line of defense, they heard Cheng Li's singing, saw Ning Yuan's situation, and really stopped, for them, a drunken and dreamy Ningyuan City is exactly what they want, so they can take Ning Yuan City without much effort! The three of them quickly evacuated the first line of defense and returned to the corner to report to Dolgon.

"Report to Prince Rui, Ningyuan is a carnival scene, and there is no preparation for battle at all." One of the spies replied.

"What? Have you figured it out?! ”

"It's true, the city is singing, and the fire is soaring to the sky, it doesn't seem like it means to fight." Another spy added.

"But the guards on the walls are still on duty." The cautious spy just now said.

"Hmph, it would be strange if there were no guards. The whole army marches! Dorgon laughed.

"Prince? Don't be careless. Dodor worried.

"You were in a hurry to fight just now, why are you afraid now? You won't die and be scared of the green dragon, right? Dorgon asked Dorgon with a smile.

"The last general also wants to be cautious, this Qinglong is not an ordinary person." Dorgon bowed his head and replied that it was not a glorious thing to be defeated in front of Dorgon.

"Good! This king will help you dispel this concern! Gunner ready! The road ahead was opened, and the corner was dedicated to the king to fire two cannons! Dorgon ordered.

"However, in this way, our sneak attack plan will fail." Dodor worried.

"Hmph, they are singing and dancing, drinking wine and eating meat, does this king still use sneak attacks? The 60,000 troops of this king entered blatantly in this way, and when he Qinglong came to his senses, the gate of this city had already been blasted open by us. Since you are worried, this king will help you dispel this concern, you just have to lead the team to rush and kill, this king does not believe that this 60,000 army is still unable to compete with his 10,000 people! On the gunner! "Dolgon has made up his mind.

"Wow!" The gunner received the order, launched two earthen cannons to take the lead, and as soon as he turned the corner, he fired two cannons at the Ningyuan position.

Boom! Dolgon wanted to waste the price of a sneak attack in exchange for a down-to-earth one, he was testing the situation in Ningyuan, and the earth artillery bombardment was the most powerful say.

"Be careful!" Seeing the two shells bombarding down, Cheng Li called Lin Bai lightly.

The two judged the landing point of the shell, and one dodged sharply, dodging the bombardment of the earthen artillery.

These two cannons broke Ning Yuan's calm.

Ning Yuan's defenders didn't expect Dolgon to spy on the military situation with an earthen cannon first, "General, what should I do?" "Archers and Lin Bai have been recently, seeing their strongholds being inadvertently bombed, they are worried about the time to change their sentences, and they are ready to move.

Sai Shi Qian used rat-like eyes to observe the movement of the stronghold in front of him, he saw that after the two artillery bombardments, although the stronghold was blown up, Cheng Li and Lin Bai slowly squirmed again, and quickly found a new stronghold, Sai Shiqian held down his subordinates who were about to move, "Don't worry, act according to the plan." ”

At this time, Xuanwu, who heard the sound of the cannon, also watched from a distance, although this Dolgon's move was beyond everyone's expectations, but fortunately, it did not disrupt Ning Yuan's city defense layout, "Quick, make a commotion, that guy!" Xuanwu ordered, because their singing and dancing scenes had already been performed, and if they continued to perform, Dolgon would definitely see the flaws. So he ordered the soldiers in the city to respond in battle.

Seeing from a distance that Ning Yuan seemed to be in turmoil, Dorgon put away his clairvoyance and smiled at Dord, "Now you can attack." ”

"Wow!" Seeing that the two cannons were bombarded and there was no movement outside Ningyuan City, Duoduo was a little relieved, and then ordered to attack, "Infantry escort catapults and earth cannons to advance and bombard Ningyuan City Gate!" Archer cover! With a wave of his saber, Duoduo led the team and rushed out.

Call......!

The sound of shouting and killing suddenly filled the night sky of Ningyuan.

"Come, prepare!" Cheng Li took advantage of the Qing army's attack horn and shouted to Lin Bai.

"Understood!" Lin Bai responded, set up the Tiangang Five Thunders, stared ahead with his waist bent, and waited for the heavy weapons and equipment of the Qing army to enter the firing range, "Dare to bombard grandpa, grandpa wants you to repay it twice!" ”

Just when Ning Yuan remembered the sound of the cannon. Zhu Qing and the others, who rushed to Shanhaiguan, were startled by the faint but very sensitive sound of cannons.

"Big brother, Ning Yuan is on fire!"

"Great, it seems that Big Brother's plan has worked."

All the brocade guards nodded one after another.

Zhu Qing shook his head, his face did not show any joy, "No, this is not the sound of Tiangang's five thunders, this is the sound of earth cannons." ”

"What? Are you saying that the enemy crossed the direction and was shelling Ningyuan? The brocade guards were worried again.

"Hmph, it's so easy to get past the line. It is estimated that Xuanwu Chengli and they have encountered a little trouble. But it shouldn't be a big problem. Zhu Qing smiled at the corner of his mouth.

"How can the eldest brother see it?"

"Intuition." Zhu Qing said, continuing to beat the horse and rush forward.

The brocade guards also seemed to understand and followed.

"Phew!" After walking for a while, Zhu Qing suddenly stopped.

"Big brother, what's wrong?" The subordinate asked.

"There's a wolf's den ahead." Zhu Qingdao.

"Are we going to take a detour?"

"No, we're going to the wolf's den!" Zhu Qing sneered.

"What? Into the wolf's den? ”

"Into the wolf's den?"

All the brocade guards were frightened, they might be able to face a fierce enemy, but in the face of a creature like a wolf, they really didn't know the bottom of their hearts.

"That's right. We waited for Wu Sangui's arrival in the wolf's den. Zhu Qing said, turned into the fork in the road, and led the troops to the wolf's den.

Although the brocade guards had some worries, but the military orders were like a mountain, and they had witnessed Zhu Qing's ability to conquer the wolf king, so they followed hard.
