427 Night Raid
"Brothers, Lord Shi led hundreds of thousands of troops south, but left us to garrison Xi'an City, which is equivalent to saying that Lord Shi handed over his back road to us, but now, the Tartars outside the city are raging, unscrupulously filling in the earth and building roads, without putting us in the slightest, to be honest, we are all upright and hot-blooded men, how can we let the Tartars be so presumptuous in front of us. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Although there are many Tartar soldiers outside the city, we can't watch them invade the city of Xi'an, otherwise, we not only lose the trust of Lord Shi, but also live up to the expectations of all the Han people in the world, therefore, the general is ready to take you to steal the camp, of course, to tell you the truth, this time to steal the camp, nine deaths, maybe we will be wiped out, therefore, the general is here to ask you, if there is anyone you don't want to go, it's too late to quit now, and the general will not embarrass you, But if you wait until you get outside the city, if you are weak and admit it, then don't blame the steel knife in General Ben's hand for being unsympathetic. Just when Jia Hanqing and the others were bidding farewell to Chitu at the head of the city, outside the gate of the city, three thousand elite Ming soldiers were already standing there in armor, waiting to set off, and at this time, Yuan Zongdi was also sitting on his horse and said loudly to them.
After Yuan Zongdi's words were finished, he did not get an answer, because when he came, the generals at all levels had already given them orders, and from the beginning of the departure, everyone could not say a word, and those who violated the order would be killed, so these soldiers did not speak, but everyone could see from their eyes that they were fearless, suggested, and indomitable.
"Okay, good, good, it's worthy of the soldiers brought out by my Yuan Zongdi, there is such a drum of morale, of course, you don't have to be too afraid, after a while outside the city, everything obeys the orders of this general, and our hope of survival is still very great, and, even if you really can't sacrifice, Lord Jia has already said, your parents are all supported by the imperial court, if you have parents, the imperial court will support you for the elderly, and if you have wives and children, the imperial court is responsible for arranging envoys for them." Looking at his subordinates who seemed to be able to shoot swords in his eyes, Yuan Zongdi couldn't help but sigh and said.
In fact, originally according to Yuan Zongdi's identity, this sneak attack out of the city should not be led by him, after all, as the highest-level military general in Xi'an City now, if he has any accidents, the impact on Xi'an City is very huge, but Yuan Zongdi must personally lead the troops out of the city, because, for Yuan Zongdi, when Shi Lei left, he handed over Xi'an City to him to be responsible, which was a trust in him, but now, he let the Tartar army fill in the earth and build roads outside, and he had no way to deal with it. It is also necessary for Chitu to take the risk to go outside the city for help, this situation is the most difficult thing for Yuan Zongdi to accept, therefore, whether it is for his own face or Shi Lei's entrustment, this time he must go out in person, until he covers Chitu and others to successfully blend into the Tartar army, otherwise, he will not be willing at all.
Time passed little by little, and when an hour later, Yuan Zongdi was about to give the order to leave the city.
With a low 'crunch, crunch' sound of the city gate, the gate that made the Tartar army sigh slowly opened, of course, the city gate was not completely opened, although this time Yuan Zongdi and they went out of the city, not really hoping to surrender the camp of the Tartar army, but wanted to attract them, but since it was a show, then it was better to be serious, just like he did not tell his subordinates the real purpose of going out of the city this time to the three thousand elites.
After the city gate opened a gap that allowed the two of them to walk side by side, the three thousand elites silently walked towards the outside of the city, three thousand people, although it usually doesn't seem to be much, it was a little slow to get out from this gap that could only allow two people to walk together, so after waiting for half an hour, the three thousand troops and Yuan Zongdi and others all walked out of the city gate.
Then, after Yuan Zongdi looked at the location of the Tartar camp in the distance, he waved his hand to the subordinates behind him, and quietly, like a ghost, silently walked towards the Tartar camp.
................................
When the plan was going on in Xi'an City, although the Tartar camp seemed quiet, there was still a group of people who did not rest, but rode fast horses, constantly patrolling around Xi'an City, which was the patrol team used by the Tartars to prevent people in Xi'an City from contacting the outside world.
This patrol team, a total of forty of them, were in the four city walls of Xi'an City to inspect, each city wall has ten, regardless of day and night respectively, and the original dozens of spies in Xi'an City, was caught by them, of course, although they patrolled around Xi'an City, but it is not close to Xi'an City, you know, Xi'an City of those various weapons are not vegetarian, although the artillery is not accurate, but the powerful city defense crossbow, but not ornaments, If they were too close to the city wall of Xi'an, I am afraid that under the powerful power of the city defense crossbow, they would not even be able to leave a whole corpse.
"Alugu, did you hear any sounds, why do I seem to hear a 'crunch, crunch' sound, is it that someone in Xi'an City has sneaked out again." At this time, a group of Manchu Eight Banners soldiers who were patrolling north of Xi'an City said, in order to do his best, the soldiers used to patrol were all Manchu Eight Banners soldiers under his command, those soldiers of the Mongolian tribe, and he was really not at ease.
In order to complete the plan to the greatest extent, Chitu and the others went out from the west city wall, because the west is the place where the Tartar army camped, and it is also the main direction of their attack to fill in the earth and build the road, so, relatively speaking, the Tartars' defensive strength on this side is a little lax, and correspondingly on the other three sides, the patrol team is a little strict, and the direction of Yuan Zongdi's departure is the north, because, according to common sense, they must have made a detour to attack the Tartar camp, if they were so stunned and rushed over, Then it's not called a sneak attack, but a blatant attack.
"Hahaha, Tong Enduo, are you hysterical, now this Liao Tianye, except for the sound of blowing in the north, where is there any 'crunching' sound, besides, since we caught those dozens of Ming dogs, and cut off their heads directly in front of the Ming army at the head of the city, no one has dared to go out of the city for a long time, with us, even if they go out of the city, there is only a dead end, so don't think about it, patrol honestly, and then after you go back, drink some wine and sleep." The Manchu soldier named Alugu, as soon as he finished speaking, the remaining twenty-nine people next to him couldn't help laughing, the reason why this is so is because Tong Enduo is the youngest among them, just seventeen years old this year, he has just joined the army for half a year, and he has never even seen blood, let alone go to the battlefield.
If it was before, according to the rules of the Manchus, there was no need to join the army if they were less than eighteen years old, even if the situation was urgent, it would only be in the miscellaneous service, that is, the reserve force, but since the defeat of Duoduo at Tongguan, the Manchu army was somewhat insufficient.
Therefore, since last year, after Dolgon discussed with many ministers, he ordered all Manchu men who had reached the age of sixteen, had no disabilities, and were seriously ill to join the army, although this made the Manchu army seem to have increased in number, but in fact, their original combat effectiveness was invisibly weakened, but now, even the entire Qing Dynasty has been in turmoil, who cares about this.
Hearing everyone's ridicule, Tong Enduo's originally nervous face became a little awkward, and his face became extremely ugly, but he could only endure it, because he knew that if he dared to resist, these people might beat him hard, and this lesson had already been accepted when he first came, so Tong Enduo didn't say anything, but lowered his head, rode on a horse, and didn't speak.
Seeing Tong Enduo like this, the remaining veterans couldn't help but burst out laughing again, but just as they were laughing happily, they suddenly heard a rough voice shouting loudly, "No, look at what." ”
The person who spoke was the leader of their patrol, Bamon, and the oldest soldier, so his prestige was very high in the entire patrol, so after hearing Bamon's words, the members of the patrol team immediately stopped laughing and looked at the place where Bamon was pointing.
This look made them suddenly feel a panic, although there is no moon in the sky tonight, and in order to cooperate with tonight's action, the Ming army at the head of the city has reduced the torches at the head of the city a lot, so the entire outside of the city looks pitch black, if it is a timid person, a person in this place, I am afraid that even if he is not scared to death, he will be scared into a madman.
And even if there is only the faint fire at the head of Xi'an, the patrol team of Bameng outside the city can see that things that have always looked like human figures are constantly coming towards them, because the firelight is blocked by some things under the city, so it looks like a little jumpy, like a zebra crossing, the dark place is dark, and only in the place where the torches are revealed, can those shadows be seen.
If a modern person sees this scene, he is afraid to scream, and then either turn around and run, or fall to the ground, and be frightened, because this situation is so similar to all kinds of ghost movies on TV.
Fortunately, Bameng and these people are all ancients, and at the same time they are also Mongolians, and the idea of ghosts is not so strong, besides, they are the Manchu Eight Banners Army, except for Tong Enduo, the rest of the people have a few lives in their hands, this situation, although they feel a burst of fear, but they are still within the range of acceptance, and the most important thing is that as soldiers, there are military restrictions, if they run away now, everyone has only one end, that is, to be executed on the spot.
"This, this..... When I was in Beijing, I heard the storyteller in the teahouse say that in some places with heavy yin energy, there will be unjust souls, and these are the unjust souls outside Xi'an. "It's Tong Enduo who speaks, and only he will say that here.
Hearing Tong Enduo's words, Ba Meng on the side suddenly said angrily, "Bastard, it's really a shame for us, our Eight Banners army is invincible all over the world, how many powerful forces and enemies have been defeated by us, and now you are actually afraid of some ghosts, don't say that these are not ghosts, even if they are, we have to kill them once, let them know that our Eight Banners warriors of the Qing Dynasty are invincible." ”
As soon as Bameng's words were finished, he suddenly heard a Qing soldier next to him shouting loudly, "It's not good, quick, quick, let's get out of here quickly, go back and want the prince to report the news, the Ming army, the Ming army is out, and the Ming army is out of the city to attack us." ”
When the words of this Qing soldier came out, at this time, all the Qing soldiers had clearly seen the true face of those black shadows, it was the Ming army soldiers wearing armor and armor, seeing this, everyone's faces were even more terrifying than just now, because for them, even if it was a ghost, there was nothing to be afraid of, but if it was the Ming army, they had to be surprised, because with the years of fighting, the original invincible Manchu Eight Banners army in the world repeatedly failed in the hands of the Ming army, This made many Qing soldiers pay more and more attention to the Ming army when they were not convinced, and at the same time, they also regarded the Ming army as their only enemy in their hearts.
And now, since the Ming army has gone out of the city and wants to sneak attack them, let alone their patrol of thirty people, even if there are ten more, it will be the fate of being completely annihilated.
"Quick, Tong Enduo, you blow the horn immediately, gather other patrols, let's quickly find a place to wait for all the patrols to gather, and find a way to stop the footsteps of the Ming army, otherwise, if they really let them break into the barracks, our army may be caught off guard." Bamon is worthy of being a battle-hardened veteran, and although he is flustered, he quickly makes specific arrangements.
Soon, a low horn sounded hurriedly in the silent night sky, and then, Bamun and the others, riding fast horses, went not far away, and then, the other patrols who heard their horn sounded also rushed towards them, and at the same time, not far away, the originally very quiet Tartar camp also became lively in an instant.
