In northern China, there is a saying that "one autumn rain and one cold". Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoBecause after midsummer, the cold air from the north begins to move southward, colliding with the warm air mass staying in the Huanghuai area. Each meeting brings a rainfall and drives the warm air mass farther south, and the temperature drops. This process often lasts for a long time, resulting in a unique climate with autumn rains.

At this moment, such an autumn rain is being experienced near Jingshi, and the rain gradually increases from noon to dusk. Both the Qing army besieging the city and the Ming army defending the city were affected by the rain. The ground became muddy, and when the rain wet the uniforms, it also made people shiver and shiver, and the sky was dark, the rain and fog were misty, and the visibility was rapidly reduced.

After a symbolic attack, the Qing army had to retreat hastily to the camp. The Ming army fought fiercely for most of the day, and finally got a respite at this time, and also seized the time to eat and rest. The field outside the city walls suddenly fell silent, and only the rustling of rain could be heard. Only the charred corpses of the war still lay on the cold ground, letting the blood spread by the rain, reminding everyone that this was still a battlefield for killing.

After two o'clock, night completely covered the land. The Qing army camp was like a devil in the dark, squatting gloomily for miles away, unable to see a trace of light; The lights at the head of Yongding Gate were also lonely, and only a few soldiers patrolling the city were still standing in the rain, looking vigilantly into the distance. But on a rainy night, as far as the eye can see, it's only a few feet.

After the third watch, even these soldiers on duty at night couldn't bear the drowsiness and leaned on the battlements to take a nap. However, at this moment, under the cover of the rain, in the night, a team of hundreds of people dressed in black was quietly passing through the field and cautiously approaching the city wall!

This Qing army is no longer the Han Army Banner or the Mongolian Eight Banners, but the real elite soldiers of the Manchu Qing Blue Banner. Each of them had a snow-bright steel knife, but at this time the sky was like the bottom of a black cauldron, and they were not afraid of the blade reflecting the moonlight; In order not to hinder the movement, the ugly braid that was originally dragged on the back of the head is now wrapped around the neck, and the tip of the braid is bitten in the mouth, just like a dog eating a lump of black.

The one who led this army to sneak forward was none other than the general of the Zhenglan Banner, Tunbulu. During the day, he offered a plan to Mang Gurtai for a night attack, which was adopted, and he volunteered to take the lead in person, which was greatly appreciated by Mang Gurtai.

Of course, Tunbulu was not simply brave, he knew very well in his heart that the rain was so heavy that all the artillery and bird guns of the Ming army could not be used normally. Moreover, the field was so dark that it was difficult to see people a few steps away, and he could easily lead his army to the edge of the city. He had also observed for a whole afternoon, and there was no sign of repairing the great gap in the wall, and the lowest point was only more than five feet high, and he could jump on it as soon as he jumped up.

Therefore, Tunbulu was very confident in this sneak attack. A few days ago, the Qing army had tried to send troops to dig a hole near the city wall at night, but the Ming army did not find out in time. As long as he can successfully approach the city wall this time, Tunbulu has full confidence in the combat effectiveness of himself and his men.

After Nurhachi founded the Jin Army, there were only four flags: yellow, white, blue, and red, and this blue flag was the predecessor of the positive blue flag. Later, because of the "subjugation of Yiguang", it was expanded to eight flags, of which the upper three flags were yellow, inlaid yellow, and blue, and it was only because of the later Mang Gurtai who killed his mother as a punishment that his blue flag was lowered to the lower five flags. However, its combat effectiveness has not decreased, and it is still one of the main forces of the Eight Banners.

Tunbulu himself is a first-class fierce general in the Qing army, on a par with Aobai. Since Ao Bai was injured by a grenade from the Ming army, Tunbulu was even more proud, as if he was the first warrior in Manchuria. Today he personally attacked the city, of course, in the hope that the first battle would be successful. In order to encourage him to fight bravely, Mang Gurtai also allowed him to loot after the city was broken, and all the money and women he had robbed belonged to him.

Tunbulu was overjoyed, and as soon as it was dark, he set out from the camp with five hundred elite soldiers. Another general of the Zhenglan Banner, Ai Ba Li, led 3,000 cavalry to quietly follow from a mile away, and as soon as the front was successful, he immediately led the cavalry to rush over to support Tunbulu. Behind them, Mang Gurtai personally led tens of thousands of troops to respond, and he must take the Beijing division in one go.

After nearly two hours of sneaking, Tunbulu finally led the crowd to arrive at the foot of Yongdingmen City. He looked up and wiped the rain from his face, secretly observing the movement in the city. But I heard the sound of snoring coming from the city, thinking that the Ming army was extremely tired after a day of fighting, and they had fallen asleep at this time.

Tun Bulu secretly called Heaven to help me, and immediately waved the steel knife in his hand, and five hundred Qing soldiers quickly rushed to the bottom of the collapsed city wall.

But Tunbulu is not only brave, but also very cunning. Even though he felt that the sneak attack was successful, he still ordered his soldiers to go first. More than a dozen Qing soldiers immediately formed a human ladder, and the Qing soldiers behind stepped on their backs and shoulders, quickly rushed up to the gap, glanced inside, and whispered to Tunbulu: "There is no Ming army inside!" ”

Tunbulu was overjoyed, thinking that this sneak attack was really successful, and immediately let out a long howl like a hungry wolf, sending out a signal to attack!

Hundreds of Qing soldiers immediately erupted into a frantic shout, which could be heard for miles in the silent rainy night! Immediately they jumped up the gap and jumped down, trying to enter the city and fight the Ming army, first controlling the city gate, and then opening the city gate to let the cavalry of Aibali in. As soon as the cavalry rushed in, the war was over.

As soon as the feet of the dozens of Qing soldiers who rushed to the front landed, they felt that their feet flickered and trembled, and suddenly there was a "hulong", and the ground actually sank!

It turned out that the floor was only covered with a thin layer of wood and covered with a thin layer of soil. It was okay for one or two people to go up, but these dozens of people jumped up at the same time, and the plank could not be stopped, and it was immediately broken, and the Qing soldiers immediately fell into the pit that had already been dug.

And this pit gives full play to the wisdom of the ancient Chinese working people, what sharpened wooden stakes, iron spear heads, big shovels... In short, anything that can pierce the human body is spread to the bottom of the pit, and a lot of quicklime is sprinkled on it.

These dozens of people fell, so can there be a good one? Most of them were pierced on the spot, and some were cut off by a big shovel. The rest of the people were either pierced in the legs, or pierced in the feet by the head of the spear, and the lime rose to fascinate their eyes, and the rain was poured again, and immediately turned into mature lime, which was a very corrosive strong alkali, and these people immediately cried out in pain!

At this time, there was a sudden sound of killing in the city, and thousands of arrows were fired at the gap in the city wall. A general at the head of the city roared angrily: "Dog Tartar, the Holy Lord expects Ding'er and others to come to sneak attack, and they have already laid a net of heaven and earth, so let's die!" ”
