readx; Although the Qing army was defeated and returned, it was not expected that the Ming army would be bold enough to rush to attack at night, and it was from the periphery of the encirclement. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoEspecially on rainy nights, their vigilance is greatly reduced, and they are completely caught off guard. In an instant, 200 sharp arrows tied to torches had pierced the night sky and shot into the tents.

In fact, the fire attack in the rain must not have been effective, and a quarter of these 200 torches were already extinguished by the time they flew in the air. But about 150 of them burned and shot at the tents. The military tent of the Qing army is the most common felt military tent of the nomads, and the felt on the top of the tent is quite thick, and the rain is impervable, so even if it rains outside, the inside of the tent is still quite dry and comfortable.

But no matter how thick the felt was, it couldn't stop the arrows. The tent itself would not have been ignited because it had already been wet with rain. However, the sharp arrow pierced the felt and fell into the tent, and the bedding inside and the straw mats on the ground were all dry and flammable, and they caught fire, and in an instant there were dozens of tents inside the flames, and the sleeping Qing soldiers were all so frightened that they jumped up, and they didn't even have time to put on their clothes, so they ran out of the tent with their bare butts.

And outside the tent there was already a big mess. Due to the poor visibility, the Qing army couldn't figure out how many people the Qing army came, only listening to the sound of killing outside the camp and the golden drums, and thinking that thousands of troops and horses were coming, they couldn't help but be shocked, how dare they go out of the camp to meet the enemy. In addition, the tent was on fire, and the Qing soldiers were all over the camp, and it became a pot of porridge for a while.

Mang Gurtai was also shocked, and strode out of the tent in cloak and asked sharply, "What's the matter?" ”

At this time, Aibali and Ilshen hurried over, and said with a look of horror on their faces: "Lord, the Han people have come to rob the camp!" It sounds very loud, it's better to wait for the minions to keep the prince and withdraw first! ”

Mang Gurtai was also quite panicked at the beginning, but after all, he had experienced a hundred battles, so he quickly calmed down and said: "The Ming army was killed from the city, or is it reinforcements from outside?" How many troops are there? ”

Only then did the second general realize that he had been patronizing and panicking just now, and he didn't even report this most basic situation to his master, and hurriedly said: "It's from outside, because the night is too dark, how many soldiers can't see clearly..."

Mang Gul Tai was suspicious: "Shanhaiguan and Xuanda border army have not moved, where did this Ming army come from?" Did you come from the south? ”

But such a guess did not help in battle. Mang Gurtai immediately decided: "Release the arrows first to stop them from storming the camp, and then organize a counterattack after dawn!" ”

The second general received the order and immediately ordered all the Qing soldiers to open their bows and arrows outside the camp gate. For a while, the arrows were like flying locusts, even denser than the rain in the sky, but they also suppressed the Ming army, and there were no more arrows with torches coming in from outside, and the movement of the Ming army became smaller and smaller.

After shooting like this for about a meal, Mang Gurtai suddenly sensed that something was wrong and yelled, "Stop releasing arrows!" ”

The army immediately stopped, but listened to the deathly silence in the field outside the camp gate. Yile said cautiously: "Did you shoot all the Han people to death?" ”

Mang Gurtai's face was like frost, and he ordered the Qing soldiers to throw torches outward. Dozens of torches tumbled across the night sky and fell into puddles on the ground, where they were quickly extinguished. However, even this short moment still made Mang Gultai see clearly: in the wilderness, there is no one!

The Qing army also saw this slightly weird scene, and couldn't help but feel creepy.

The Manchus were not afraid of killing and death, but they had lived a primitive life of fishing and hunting for thousands of years, and they were extremely ignorant on the spiritual level, all of whom believed in a primitive religion, shamanism. Shamanism believes that everything is animist, which means that everything can be a god, a monster, and a mysterious being that cannot be defeated by man. When the shaman wizard took great pains to "dance the great god", these evil men who usually drank blood and killed countless people were full of awe and were stunned. When the shaman was "taken on by the gods", these people even worshipped and did not even dare to come out.

At this time, seeing that the sky above the field was empty, only tens of thousands of iron arrows were deeply inserted into the soil, but there was no shadow of half a person, who could not be afraid of the Qing soldiers? I don't know who said it first: "This is probably the manifestation of the great immortal's anger, and he won't let us continue to attack the city!" ”

It didn't take long for the Qing troops in the camp to tremble, and some people even fell to their knees in fright, kowtowing to the outside of the camp gate, and their morale was extremely low!

Mang Gurtai is a person who does not believe in evil, he even dares to kill his own mother, how can he care about any gods. He immediately flew on his horse, raised his sword and shouted: "The Ming army must have run far, follow me out of the camp and kill them all!" ”

As he spoke, he ordered his men to open the gate of the camp and gallop out like an arrow. The masters all rushed out, and no matter how scared the minions were, they could only have the courage to ride their horses to keep up.

But after running five or six miles in one go, he couldn't even see the shadow of the Ming army. Aibali caught up with Mang Gurtai and said breathlessly: "Lord, it is raining now, if the Ming army passes by, it will definitely leave footprints." But there are no footprints here! ”

At this point, Mang Gurtai was also furious in his heart, so he had to rein in his horse and return to the camp. Carefully observed all the way, and sure enough, there were no other traces except for the horseshoe prints of the Qing army. It wasn't until they approached the camp gate that they found scattered footprints of the Ming army. These footprints did extend southward, but because of the rain that kept falling, the footprints gradually blurred, and disappeared completely after a hundred paces. But these footprints are all left by people, and there are no horseshoe prints, what a lot of effort, how could the Ming army run away without a trace?

Mang Gurtai was suspicious in his heart, how could he still have the heart to attack the city, so he only ordered the Qing army to strictly guard the camp gate, extinguish the embers, and make plans after the rain has passed.

But just when they were tossing around blindly south of the camp, the 200 Ming army led by Xie Sheng had already appeared in the Yongding Gate Tower. Zhu Youzhen greeted him in person, and after listening to Xie Sheng's story of the battle, he laughed heartily and said, "Okay, scare these turtle grandsons to death!" ”

In fact, this matter is not surprising at all, the Ming army has a secret passage to the outside of the city. When these underpasses were expanded in Beijing, they were secretly constructed by the sappers, and planned to build nine, because the amount of work was too large, and the time was urgent, only two were actually built, one from Yongding Gate to the south, and the other from the Kunlun Gate of the West Gate of Beijing Division to the west.

Each tunnel has a dozen secret exits, one every other mile. From the ground, of course, nothing can be seen, but the people in the dark passage can easily know how far they have gone.

Tonight's victory is to lead the troops out of the city through the dark tunnel, bypass the Qing army camp from the underground, and drill out of the camp. After the harassment operation was carried out, he immediately retreated to the hidden tunnel and closed the cover of the hidden tunnel. The outside of the cover was covered with dirt, and it was raining again, and it soon became muddy, and there was no trace to be seen, and of course Mang Gurtai could not find it. Even if they found out, the Qing army did not dare to come down, because the secret passage was very narrow, and the Ming army was tightly guarded, and it was tantamount to a fool's dream to attack the city from here.

It wasn't until early in the morning that the autumn rain completely stopped. After being harassed by the Ming army, Mang Gurtai never closed his eyes again, and his eyes were red at this time. He just wanted to go out of the tent to look at the situation of the Beijing Division, when he suddenly heard the neighing of horses from people outside the camp gate, and then shouted at the throat of the male duck: "The emperor has arrived!" ”
