Chapter 423: Connecting Two Cities
readx;
Cao Huachun and Suzaku teamed up to help Zhu Qing kill the guards of Ningyuan City, Zhu Qing personally led 50,000 troops across the strait to land in Ningyuan, it was really a lightning force to attack Ningyuan, Ningyuan defenders only had less than 5,000 people left, and the Ming army attacked the city with ten times the number, completely crushing!
In addition, the Qing army is gathered in the General's Mansion, from entering the city to clearing the crackdown, it is only half a pillar of incense!
Zhu Qing only sent 5,000 elite soldiers of the Jinyi Guards to kill, the means were active and hidden, and the general's mansion was as quiet as usual during the killing process, because Zhu Qing asked Lin Bai and the others to use the ten incense soft tendons to disperse first, and the Qing army didn't even have the strength to shout! After a nest of Qing troops was poisoned, five thousand brocade guards fell from the sky, and the bloody blades and tartars were not enough for one. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Info: These Qing troops, who had been so arrogant a few days ago, finally paid a heavy price for their ambitions on a quiet night.
After a quiet night battle, the Ming army regained the city of Ningyuan. At this point, Zhu Qing can talk to Cao Huachun and Suzaku.
"I've always felt that no one can compare to me Cao someone, and tonight, the Qinglong brothers can be said to be as good as ever!" Seeing Zhu Qing's order to poison first and then behead, even Cao Huachun couldn't help but be surprised.
Zhu Qing's subordinates are also the first time to see Zhu Qing kill the killer so badly, in the past, even if he was an opponent, he would be a little worried, and if he could, he would not kill, but tonight, he did not hesitate at all!
"People can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes. They are all murderers who slaughtered Kanye and them, and besides, I wanted to spread the news of tonight's incident to Ning Yuan! Zhu Qing said coldly.
The two Kanye brothers, Zhu Qing from the old Tongguan Department of the co-optation, his two brothers since joining the Jinyi Guard, followed Cheng Li to guard Jinzhou, and later retreated to Ningyuan, are desperate generals, never thought that in the Ningyuan War a few days ago, the two Kanye brothers were cut off from contact with the army by the Qing army, and then surrounded by the Qing army, Kanye sent people to negotiate, the Qing army ignored it, and directly killed more than 7,000 people in Kanye's department, Cheng Li and others heard their own screams across the Ningyuan River but could not rescue, sad and indignant. When Cheng Li told Zhu Qing about Kanye's deeds, Zhu Qing only said one sentence in the direction of Kanye's department being killed, "Blood debt and blood repayment!" ā
Tonight, Zhu Qing fulfilled his promise to Kanye's subordinates, and after hearing this, the generals were silent, and there was a better reason for blood debts to be paid?
"The last general has sent people to search Ningyuan City, but no remnants have been found!" Cheng Li reacted.
Zhu Qing nodded, "Continue to monitor, don't be careless!" ā
"Yes!"
"Wait!" The general seems to have something to say.
"General?"
"Tonight's battle, don't make a noise!" Zhu Qing admonished.
Everyone was taken aback. Suzaku even stepped forward and asked, "Qinglong, why is this?" The letter from the imperial court clearly said that you would make a move in Ningyuan, so as to attract Dolgon's concerns and reduce the pressure on the capital, why didn't you let it go?! ā
"Yes, Qinglong, this is not your style, the imperial court's move to encircle Wei and save Zhao is still reliable."
Even Tie Mian and Cao Huachun, who were not very cold to the Ming Court, felt that this plan was very reliable.
Zhu Qing smiled slightly, nodded and said, "That's right, the emperor is indeed using Dongfang Wenbai to use the right person, and Dongfang Wenbai's trick to encircle Wei and save Zhao is really powerful, but I want to give full play to its maximum value of this plan!" ā
"Best value?" The crowd will be puzzled.
Zhu Qing nodded and paced a few steps, "Think about it, is Dolgon really careless?" ā
"In a huge city, there are less than 5,000 people left behind, isn't this careless?" Lin Bai asked, and everyone nodded.
Suzaku shook his head, "If Dolgon is such a person, then he is not Dolgon, so there is nothing to fear." That's right, the city is very large, but Dolgon only has 3,000 soldiers left, why can't he think that he doesn't care about Ningyuan, a city with chicken ribs that is tasteless and abandoned? ā
As soon as Zhu Qing's words came out, everyone was shocked, Cao Huachun stroked his beard, nodded slowly, and said, "Ningyuan City is just a springboard for Dolgon to capture Shanhaiguan and wave the Central Plains......"
Cao Huachun explained again, and everyone understood it better, and they all nodded.
Zhu Qing smiled, "That's right, if something happens to Ning Yuancheng, it won't affect Dolgon's heart in the slightest!" ā
"You want to ......?" Iron Mask asked in surprise, as if he had guessed what Zhu Qing was thinking.
Zhu Qing smiled at the corner of his mouth, nodded, walked to the sand table of the General's Mansion, picked up a small flag, and inserted it into another city, all the generals were shocked, "Jinzhou?!" ā
Zhu Qing smiled and said nothing, but Suzaku worried, "Is it too risky to rashly attack Jinzhou?" Why not make a detour to Shanhaiguan and disturb the rear of the Qing army? ā
Zhu Qing paused, "I also thought about this problem earlier, if I detour to Shanhaiguan, maybe I can harass the rear of the Qing army, so that he is difficult to take care of each other, but the time is not easy to grasp, the Qing army has already entered the customs, it will still take time for us to attack Shanhaiguan, the Qing army's army of one million, it is impossible to be restrained by my 50,000 soldiers and horses, but even if he leaves two or three hundred thousand to deal with us, five or six hundred thousand to attack the capital, we can only bargain at both ends!" The stakes are too big and the odds are too small to be worth it. However, attacking Jinzhou is different, Dolgon has already taken away a million troops, and the troops left in Jinzhou will not be too much, and my 50,000 troops are equipped with firearms such as Tiangang and five thunders, and it should not be a problem to take Jinzhou. ā
"However, even if Ningyuan and Jinzhou are combined, they may not be worth a Beijing." Iron Mask answered.
Zhu Qing smiled slightly, and nodded the iron face, "Well said, such a bet is still not enough to compare with the capital of the Ming Dynasty, but ......" Zhu Qing suddenly picked up a small flag, and suddenly planted the small flag without looking at it, and the small flag fell on another city impartially!
The soldiers were really scared this time!
"If we attack Shengjing! Hit the lair of the Qing army, what will happen?! Zhu Qing snorted, a smile on the corner of his mouth, this is a man's ambition and a warrior's ambition.
"I used to think about what it was like to be above ten thousand people under one person, and at that time I thought I could do anything, but I was quickly taken away by the apprentices I taught. Qinglong, I have to look at you again tonight, this is the greatest value of Wei Wei to save Zhao! Cao Huachun couldn't help but admire.
The generals were also shocked by Zhu Qing's bold idea, if he really hit Shengjing, Dolgon would not sit idly by no matter what, from the moment he decided to assist Xiao Shunzhi, he was willing to give up everything that was originally at his fingertips for a woman and a child!
"However, time is still the biggest test." Iron Mask had to pour cold water.
Zhu Qing nodded, "So, we can't stop for a moment, and we can send troops to Jinzhou after cleaning up the mess." This is also the reason why Ning Yuancheng, which has only 3,000 troops, asked me to use 50,000 troops to land. ā
When everyone heard this, they suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Zhu Qing dispatched an army of 50,000 but only used 5,000 elite soldiers to attack Ning Yuan.
"Cheng Li, Iron Mask, Lin Bai!" Zhu Qing suddenly shouted.
"The last general!" The three generals answered.
"Quickly assemble the armies of all departments, go out of the city lightly, and rush to Jinzhou! The baggage then followed! Zhu Qing shouted!
"The last general obeys!" The three of them took their own orders, they all had their own tasks, as long as Zhu Qing gave the order, they would never dare to slack off.
"Water Ghost Team!" Zhu Qing then called.
"The subordinates are here!" The six water ghosts stepped forward to give orders.
"There are six of you in two groups, one group stays in Ningyuan and responds to the treasure island at any time, and the other group immediately sneaks back to Juehua Island, hands over the tokens to General Xu, and asks General Xu to immediately send a message to Sect Master Xu and General Heijue in Dengzhou, so that they can rush to Beijing, there must be no mistake!" Zhu Qing said, handing over a token of himself to the captain of the water ghost team.
"Order!" The Water Ghost Team responded.
Zhu Qing waved his hand, and the six of them quickly divided the work and dispersed.
"Qinglong, what about me?" Suzaku asked, when Suzaku was alone, she was the supreme commander of Suzaku Gate, and she was the belief and direction of many disciples, but when Zhu Qing was present, she seemed to have become a little girl who did not know anything about the world, and everything had to obey Zhu Qing's arrangement.
"I want you to go back to Beijing." Zhu Qing said helplessly, "If I guess correctly, the emperor will definitely let the queen, the princes, and the princesses move south, and then trouble you to bring Ning'er and Miss Chen over together." With you, we are all relieved. Zhu Qing looked at Zhu Qing with sincere eyes.
Suzaku originally wanted to say, 'I will fight side by side with you', but looking at Zhu Qing's eyes and sincere tone, as well as that kind of mind that focuses on the overall situation, Suzaku swallowed back what he wanted to say.
She held back tears and nodded, "Don't worry, I will definitely take care of them, and you have to take care of yourself." When Suzaku said the second half of the sentence, everyone else unconsciously turned aside.
Zhu Qing nodded with satisfaction.
"Okay, needless to say, you will definitely give me an eviction order, I still don't need you to rush, I'll go by myself!" Cao Huachun, who was on the side, smiled leisurely.
Zhu Qing walked over and held Cao Huachun's shoulder, "Father-in-law, thanks to you and the white wolf this time, as a general, of course I hope you will go to Jinzhou with me to help me, but you should know better than me what the wolf's den means to us, you are not there, the wolf's den is not safe." ā
Cao Huachun nodded, "Those who know me, Qinglong also." That's it, I'm not a Suzaku girl, you don't have to be so slimy to me, I know what to do! I just hope you make it back alive to thank the white wolf personally. ā
"Definitely!" Zhu Qing said, broke his wrist with Cao Huachun, and then turned around and shouted, "Let's go!" "Change led the regrouped army of nearly 50,000 to march to Jinzhou overnight! Only 5,000 soldiers were left to guard Ningyuan City.
When the sky was bright, Zhu Qing led an army of 50,000 to arrive in Jinzhou City! Without saying a word, let the archers solve the Qing army guards who were sleepwalking on the city gate, and then bombarded the Jinzhou city gate with Tiangang five thunders! The Qing army in Jinzhou, which was still asleep, never expected that there would be a Ming army descending from the sky! They had not received any information about Ningyuan City in front of them, but they had been raided by the Ming army!
The defenders of Jinzhou, who woke up from the nightmare, hurriedly responded to the battle, but when they went out of the city gate, they found that the city gate guards were all dead, the city gate had been broken, and the Ming army rushed in, and had no choice but to retreat to the alley!
Originally, there were not many Qing troops left, only more than 30,000 people, plus the Qing army was not good at street fighting, and this batch of brocade guards was just one as ten elites, street battles were commonplace, and their strength was soon reflected!
After entering the city, the Ming army divided into three ways and attacked from the three main roads! Cheng Li and Tie Mian each led 20,000 soldiers to attack the city on the left and right roads, and Zhu Qing led 10,000 soldiers to fight in the middle lane, of course, the deputy general Lin Bai was not to be outdone, and competed in front of the eldest brother!
The morale of the Ming army is flourishing, the Qing army is still sleepwalking, from the dawn of the sky to the dawn of the day, the Ming army with an overwhelming advantage to beat the Qing army with only more than 10,000 people, when Zhu Qing's machete was waved down, the main general of the Qing army in Jinzhou, Huo Duo, disarmed and surrendered!
"Want to surrender?!" Lin Bai's killing intent was in full swing, and he was about to move forward to make up for the knife, but he was pushed back by Zhu Qing!
"What for?" Zhu Qing shouted angrily!
"They violated us, shouldn't they be killed?!" Lin Bai asked.
"If you don't kill and surrender, I still need to teach you this truth?!" Zhu Qing shouted.
"Forget it, don't make the general angry, he knows what to do." Cheng Li stepped forward to dissuade Lin Bai.
I had to bow my head and remain silent.
"Iron Mask, confiscate their weapons and put them in Jinzhou Prison!" Zhu Qing ordered.
"Yes!" Iron Mask said, and escorted Hodo and the others away!
Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked out of the gate, Huo Duo suddenly broke free from the jailers, and more than 10,000 Qing troops immediately rioted and seized the guards one after another!
Zhu Qing turned around and looked, his eyes were full of grief and indignation, he gritted his teeth and endured it for a long time, and suddenly raised his hand and shouted, "Shoot!" ā
The firecracker team on the periphery was ordered to strafe, and the Qing army fought the trapped beasts! Seeing this, the archers hurriedly moved forward to block, and the rain of arrows poured down towards the Qing army! More than 10,000 Qing troops fell one after another, and blood splashed the gate of Jinzhou Mansion!
Zhu Qing couldn't bear to look at it directly, turned his back, and only said to Cheng Li in a deep voice, "Thick burial." With that, he walked to the sand table in Jinzhou Mansion.
