Chapter 33: Capture the Door

Coming to Fort Far Away, in the winter, trading is usually the hottest (. A large number of merchants gathered here to trade in the horse market outside the city. There were also merchants who did not want to go out of the customs, and they were close to the fort and traded their goods to the caravans.

Come to the far inn, today gathered a few groups of merchants, I heard that the goods are imported from the customs, and they do not want to go out of the customs to sell, I heard that there are merchants who receive the goods, so they negotiate and trade here. This kind of thing is not unusual, so the shopkeeper in the inn, as usual, greeted him warmly, anyway, mainly to make money.

In the east wing, there are currently eight bosses, who are talking about "business" behind closed doors.

"Suna-sama, I finally looked forward to you, what do you have to tell Kyori?"

Suna is the eighth group of Jurchen troops to enter the city disguised as a caravan, and because it is the last group, it is inevitable to take orders from the Jurchen side. Suna is one of the number one generals of the White Flag, so everyone respects him very much, and he has a son who is also very famous, named Sukh Saha.

"Prince Rui ordered, three days later, the action will be carried out, then Prince Su will lead the soldiers and horses with yellow flags as the front, come to seize the pass, when the defenders of the city find out, they will inevitably close the city gate at the first time, we will be at this time, to grab the city gate, to welcome Prince Su's army into the city." Suna said.

"Lord Suna, this plan is different from what Lord Rui explained, the original plan was not to attack outside after the arrival of the army, we set fire to it inside, and attack inside and outside. How did you change it? Tong Tulai asked.

"This cloth belonged to the emperor and the princes Baylor later. It seems to be believed that if the army arrives, the city will definitely be under martial law, tighten precautions, and even seal the city gate at the first time, and there will definitely be heavy troops under the city. Moreover, now that the generals guarding the pass have also changed, it can be seen that the Ming Court attaches great importance to this place, so the emperor would rather sacrifice more when he wins the door, rather than fail. In addition, King Rui also had an explanation, that is, when the army arrived, 100 people from Shuodai's department were responsible for sneaking up on the general's mansion here, which made it difficult for the Ming army to take care of both ends. Suna said.

"Shuo Dai must live up to the trust of King Rui, swear to contain the main general of the Ming army, and buy enough time for the brothers who seized the door." Shuo Dai said firmly.

If it is said that it is dangerous to seize the city gate, it is relatively safer than attacking the general's palace. At least there are a lot of people at the city gate, and there are soldiers and horses from Prince Hauge of Su outside, even if there are traps that hinder it, it will affect the speed of the cavalry, but if you fill it with people, you can fill it in. However, attacking the General's Mansion will definitely be besieged by the main force of the Ming army, and without reinforcements, it will basically be a death.

Knowing that he would die, Shuo Dai did not hesitate, because the military order was like a mountain. For this arduous task, Dolgon did not dare to choose the Han when choosing generals, but still felt that his own generals were more reliable.

Suna arranged the plan, everyone divided into subordinates, and Shuo Dai took a hundred of his subordinates and chose an inn relatively close to the General's Mansion to live; Suna took Li Guohan, Liu Zhiyuan, and Tian Gang to live in two inns close to the city gate; Jin Li, Tong Tulai, and Samushka still live at the Laiyuan Inn.

Three days, in the blink of an eye, on this day, come to the horse market outside the far fort, still bustling, buying and selling, abound. The merchants bargained among themselves, laughing and laughing, and suddenly, there was a horse galloping at the speed of the wind, running from a distance, on horseback was a Ming soldier, his face was full of dust and sweat, although the merchants in the market did not see the soldier's appearance clearly, but when they saw this eager look, they knew that something was happening. The first reaction of the merchants was that the Tartars had called, otherwise, the scouts would not have been like this, so they all hurried towards the city gate.

There was a large camp built outside the city gate, and like Zhangjiakou, all the traps were dug, and the soldiers turned over and dismounted outside the camp, shouting loudly: "Oh no, the Tartar cavalry is coming, go and tell the general, close the city gate (!) ”

The soldier shouted as he ran towards the city.

When the soldiers guarding the camp outside the city heard this, they dared not delay, but hurriedly ran towards the city according to the route, and the soldiers guarding the city also cheered up, prepared for battle, and closed the city gate.

At this time, there was a sudden sound of shouting and killing in the city, and from several alleys, a group of men were killed, and these people rushed straight to the city gate with knives and guns in their hands.

"Warriors of the Qing Dynasty, rush! Capture the gates and welcome the hordes into the city! ”

"Kill!" "Rush!" "Capture the gates and welcome the army into the city!" …….

This is the time that has been agreed for a long time, Suna, Li Guohan, Liu Zhiyuan, and Tian Gang each took a hundred people and rushed out of the four alleys. They knew that now they would win if they reached the gates of the city and blocked them so that they could not be closed. After a while, the merchants of the horse market will flock to the city gate, causing a blockage to the city gate, which cannot be closed, and hold on until the arrival of the army, and come to the far fort is in the bag.

Seeing that there was an enemy in the alley, the officers and soldiers defending the city were all shocked, and the leader of the Qianzong and the general reacted quickly, and immediately shouted loudly: "Stop them, close the city gate quickly!" ”

The soldiers who were originally under the city hurriedly raised their weapons and went to stop them, and there were also some soldiers in the city who were ordered to rush down to resist. However, it was a little difficult to close the city gate immediately, because the soldiers outside the city had already run over, and these were their own people, how to stop them. They can only be let in first, and then the gates will be closed.

The enemies who had mixed in had already expected this, and knew that the city gate would not be closed at the first time, and they were wielding swords and guns in their hands, and they were desperately slashing forward.

The soldiers defending the city, who are 500 on weekdays, have doubled the number of defenders since Tong Zhou took office. Moreover, it is more courageous to choose a general. The two sides were quickly strangled together, but these Tartar soldiers were fierce, desperately moving forward, and it was difficult to distinguish the winner for a while.

It doesn't matter if you can't win or lose, for the Tartars, as long as you cause enough chaos, it's enough. The city gate was completely blocked by soldiers on both sides, and those who ran in from outside the city squeezed forward with all their might, trying to enter the city as soon as possible, but the streets inside the city were so badly beaten that they could not enter at all.

After a while, the merchants of the horse market hurried over, and when they saw that the city gate wanted to be closed, they hurried inside, and those who ran in front were all Mongols, and when they reached the city gate, they drew their swords and slashed them from the outside in.

The merchants in the city, when they heard the shouts of killing, were all stunned and began to flee in all directions. was running, and suddenly found that a group of people in white were coming to the front, and these people were also holding weapons in their hands, and the person at the head shouted loudly: "Lord Yue has already expected that the Tartars are coming to take control, everyone should not panic, they all flash to the side!" ”

It was Li Haoquan who shouted, and the people behind him were all the escorts he brought from Beijing. In order to avoid misunderstandings with the officers and soldiers, they all wore white clothes.

When the merchants saw the menacing man in white, they hurriedly dodged to both sides and let the man in white pass. Li Haoquan quickly led people and rushed to the street at the gate of the city, which had already been beaten into a pot of porridge, Li Haoquan shouted loudly: "Brothers, kill me!" Except for those wearing officer and soldier uniforms, all others will be killed! ”

The guerrilla on the gate, as soon as he saw the man in white here, he was overjoyed, and the general had instructed that at the critical moment, there would be a group of men and horses in white coming, and this was the person of the imperial court. He hurriedly cried out, "Brothers! Kill me, the one in white clothes is your own person, and other personalities are killed! ”

Good guys, this is a front and back attack, the Tartar soldiers were attacked from front to back, and they immediately panicked, and many people were instantly cut to the ground. Their numbers are already small, so it is even more difficult to resist, and the number of dead and wounded is increasing.

However, not long after the white-clothed soldiers, another group of people came out of the alley on the side.

"Don't panic, the warriors of the Great Qing Kingdom, we have now occupied the General's Mansion, and the generals of the Ming army have been killed by us, everyone take advantage of the situation to seize the city gate and welcome the army into the city!"

The men and horses of Jin Li, Tong Tulai, and Samushka, they bluffed and shouted, and the purpose was nothing more than to shake the morale of the army (. When the officers and soldiers defending the city heard this, they were really a little panicked, but fortunately, Li Haoquan encouraged the white-clothed soldiers to shout too, "Don't listen to them, General Tong Zhou is safe and sound, this is the Tartars who are demagoguery!" Hurry up and kill the enemy and defend the city gate, Lord Yue and Sima Qiaoyu's general soldiers are now in the city, and there will be a heavy reward for killing all the Tartars! ”……

His words were much stronger than the clamor of the Tartars, and as soon as the soldiers heard that Lord Yue and General Sima were in the city, their fighting spirit immediately became high. There were already a large number of officers and soldiers, and with Li Haoquan's white-clothed soldiers, they had the upper hand. However, the city gate could not be closed, because more and more merchants flocked to the city gate, and the leading group of Mongols, all with weapons, rushed desperately inside. Fortunately, the officers and soldiers in the city gate cave are not fools, they pick up their weapons and fight back, and the two sides are fighting on this side of the city gate cave.

"General! The police are out at the city gate, someone is attacking the city gate, our army is defending it in blood, please make a decision quickly! ”

Come to the west city of Yuanbao, all of them are military districts, soldiers and horses are stationed here, and Tong Zhou's general's mansion is also here.

As soon as he heard the soldier's report and the city gate left Beijing, Tong Zhou immediately ordered, "Quickly order the guerrilla general Lu Zhengwei to lead a thousand soldiers to rush to help, and I will lead the army to go later." Also, take my arrow, go to Zhangjiakou quickly, and inform the deputy general Jin Chan to close the city gate to prevent the Tartars from sneaking up! Then call someone to Xuanfu to inform the general soldier Sima Qiaoyu, and tell him to send reinforcements quickly and rush to support! ”

"Yes, General!"

The soldier said yes and immediately sent out the order. But as soon as the people went out, another soldier came to report, "General, the big thing is not good, there is a group of people who are coming to the side of the General's Mansion, and the brothers guarding the door are already fighting with the enemy!" ”

Tong Zhou listened carefully, and there was indeed a faint sound of shouting and killing outside, and he immediately said: "Quickly gather the people in the house and kill with me!" ”

Because the General's Mansion and the battalion of officers and soldiers are all here, there are also many guards in the palace, more than 400 people. The sound of the fight outside had already alarmed the soldiers in the house, and a group of soldiers began to rush over before they could be called. Tong Xuan ran out of the hall, drew his saber, commanded the soldiers, and killed outside the house.
