There was a terrible cry under the north gate of Gu'an City, more than 200 Han people were strung with ropes and driven to the outside of the moat, a group of Houjinjia soldiers hid behind them, escorting more than 100 other people to clean up the headless corpse of Jiannu on the ground, and Lu Chuanzong in the city scolded Jiannu below.

Dolgon was two hundred paces away, and behind him were hundreds of well-arrayed Bayalas, who were looking at the vague Ming army general on the north gate tower with a calm expression.

He is the Murgen Daiqing in the mouth of Huang Taiji, which means smart, and this title is also the source of the Rui Prince Rui in the future, Dolgon is only seventeen years old this year, is the fourteenth son of Nurhachi, and just replaced Azig as the owner of the white flag last year (Note 1), and his brother Azig in the same banner still leads fifteen of the Niu Lu, Azig lost the position of the flag owner, not only did not resent Huang Taiji, but instead focused his anger on his younger brother, and even had opinions on the little brother Duoduo with the white flag.

Houjin's custom is to love the youngest son, plus Nurhachi dotes on Abahai, and even with the three sons of Abahai are also very fond of Abahai, it turns out that Nuerhachi's two yellow flags and sixty Niulu, divided between Azig, Dolgon and Duoduo fifteen each, he kept fifteen for himself, and when he was seriously ill, he gave the remaining fifteen to Duoduo, so that Duoduo's Niulu reached thirty, and most of them were overcrowded and powerful Niulu, to say that the power directly controlled by the three of them was stronger than Huang Taiji.

Nurhachi's original intention was that these three children were strong and could protect Abahai, but they were scrupled by the other six banner beelers, and as soon as Nuerhachi died, he forced Abahai to be martyred, breaking the bond between the three, at that time Dorgon was only fifteen years old, and Dodor was thirteen, and Azig was a person without a city, and he watched several other people force their biological mother to death, and then there was a lot of estrangement between the three of them, and the other Baylor was relieved.

Dolgon witnessed the burial of his biological mother, and matured psychologically quickly, although Azig is the eldest brother, but he has a rough temper, only likes to fight, knows nothing about power techniques, and has no proper shape to do things in meetings, Dolgon does not pin his hopes on this Azig, he is just cautious on weekdays, obeys the emperor's words, and deliberately has conflicts with Azig, so that all banner owners are very relieved of him. In the second year of Tiancong's political conference, he replaced Azig as the owner of the Zhengbai Banner, although he knew that this was Huang Taiji to further create the conflict between the three brothers, and still accepted it, but Azig did not understand, and since then he has been quite resentful of him, and the affairs of the flag are basically going their own way.

He took a breath and returned to the reality in front of him, this time he understood Huang Taiji's mind very well, just to find a face, and use the advantage of cavalry to force this Ming army not to dare to go out of the city, each Niu Lu transferred four people, and after going back, he told the others that this Ming army did not dare to face the Houjin soldiers, and the previous defeat was just a command mistake by Unag. So this time he made up his mind not to attack the city under any circumstances, but only to demonstrate.

A Mongolian left-wing Jialazhen beside him who led the way pointed to a city wall and said to him: "Fourteen Bel, the broken city wall last time has been repaired by them and reinforced, and it has only been a few days, and the people at the head of the wall are stronger, and this Ming army is really cunning." ”

Dolgon looked closely, the city wall was densely populated, there were both ironclad soldiers and firecrackers, and some people with knives and guns in their hands, and there were grass factories, ramming rods and yaksha beats every other section, but it could be seen that they were also in a hurry, and there were very few iron tips on the yaksha beats, which were basically a log.

It seems that they have mobilized a lot of people in the past few days, plus that strange Ming army, it is really not easy to fight, at least a few thousand people will die in this city, and the banners will not agree.

He looked at the Jia Lae Zhen beside him and said, "You have been killed by hundreds of people, and you don't even know where they came from?" ”

Najia La'e really nodded cautiously, they really didn't figure out where it came from in the end, and the Chinese army only had a six-foot red flag with Chen characters, Dolgon said disdainfully: "Don't know Chinese characters?" The red flag on the upper floor clearly reads Wendeng Camp Sentinel. ”

Jia La's answer really replied to two sentences, he really didn't know him, but last time the Han study showed that he only wrote one Chen character.

Dolgon no longer paid attention to him, and the corpses under the city had been moved two hundred steps away, where a lot of firewood had been piled up, and it was about to be incinerated, and the custom of Jianzhou was cremation, even if he died in Liaodong, it was disposed of. (Note 2)

He commanded one of the white-armored soldiers behind him: "Pull those Nikans to the city, strip them all naked, and cut off their heads one by one." ”

The white armor asked, "Master, are the people who move the bodies killed together?" ”

"All."

The white-armored soldier took the order, and then the gold-armored soldier drove those who carried the corpses to more than a hundred steps outside the city wall, and several hideous-looking armored soldiers dragged out a Han man, who was a Svenwen student, he probably guessed what to do, and cried loudly, a soldier made him take off his clothes in stiff Chinese, he took it off while crying, his eyes looked at several armor soldiers in fear, and some other armor soldiers in the back drank and ordered the other Ming people to take off their clothes, and a woman moved a little late, and was cut off by a knife, Screaming in a pool of blood.

The people were already frightened and panicked, the crowd cried loudly, the first soldiers cut a few people in a row, the others did not care about shame, quickly stripped naked, shivered in the cold wind, and the Houjin soldiers laughed while touching some women.

The student in front of him was ordered to kneel, his face was full of tears and snot, and the other white armor drew a large knife and put it on the back of his neck, the cold blade touched his skin, and the student knew that the end was coming, and knelt on the ground and cried out in despair.

The white-armored soldier looked at the appearance of the student, and found it quite interesting, he deliberately lifted the knife, and after a while put it on his neck, and after a few times, the student was hoarse and his voice was already hoarse.

Lu Chuanzong on the city tower shouted and scolded: "Get out of your mother's soft egg, what are you crying about, you want to die and stand up and die like a man, it's better for your mother to bite him than like this." ”

The other people on the city wall also shouted and scolded together, but it was the scolding Jiannu, with the Wendeng camp as the backbone, they were also a lot more courageous, at least these Houjin soldiers did not dare to attack the city now.

The white-armored soldier had played a few times, but it was estimated that it was boring, and he slashed down with a knife, and the head of the student fell to the ground, and his body stopped again before falling to the side, and the people in the city screamed.

Lu Chuanzong couldn't look at it anymore, so he ran over and said, "My lord, let's go out of the city to fight, it's only a thousand tartars." ”

Zhu Guobin disagreed: "Mr. Lu Qian, it is not appropriate to go out of the city at this time, see that they are all riding horses, and there are no equipment, they should be forwards, if Jiannu comes to retaliate, there will be a large army behind, as soon as we get out of the city, they will retreat, chase or not?" Moreover, now the infantry is deployed to the four gates, and when they are all mobilized, the people are killed, and they go out of the city to do something. ”

Lu Chuanzong said angrily: "Then let's just do it and watch them provoke?" ”

Chen Xin's face was calm, the city under this Jiannu is likely to be the vanguard of the brigade, to check the city defense, fortunately a few days ago dragged the county to see the scene of Beizhuang, the county magistrate was frightened not human, came back to open a warehouse to convene the people, and called on the gentry to come out of the grain, went to see the scene of some citizens came back, hyped up, plus the training team fanned the flames, the people in the city were full of righteous indignation, there was Wendeng camp to rely on, there was food to take, and it was to defend the homeland, they signed up for the people's bravery, increasing the strength of thousands of defenders of the city, Many families demolished the courtyard wall to provide stones, and these people were useless in field battles, but throwing stones at the head of the city could also kill the white-armored soldiers. So he doesn't plan to fight, now that he has the head, as long as he holds the city, the stronger the city defense, the more Jiannu dare not attack. If the Wendeng battalion, which is the core, rashly attacks and loses something, the city defense will be much weaker, and the confidence of the people will also be weakened.

The Lord of Gu'an Zhixian beside him trembled and said: "It's better not to go out of the city, it's better not to go out of the city, Jiannu is so cruel, this, this ......"

Chen Xin smiled and comforted him, then looked at the arrogant Bayala, and said to Shi Pingli beside him, "How far?" ”

"One hundred and twenty steps, I'm afraid that the last time the Houjin soldiers went back and said that our firearms are powerful, they are deliberately so far away, but the turtledove can kill people in one hundred and twenty steps, they will never think of it, but they will kill a lot of people."

Lu Chuanzong hurriedly said: "It's better than cutting off your head like this." ”

Chen Xin nodded, Shi Pingli immediately turned around to arrange, the one hundred and twenty steps of the turtledove gun still have lethality, but it has no effect on the heavy armor target, as for the combination gun, it can only try luck.

Shi Pingli called a few musket flag captains, including the flag captain of the turtledove detachment, and after the flag captains went back to make arrangements, the musketeers all came to the back of the battlements in two rows, Shi Pingli called the trumpeter to stand by, and then he poked his head out, and the white armor grabbed an old man, who was raising the knife with both hands.

"Blow the trumpet!"

The swan sounded, more than 200 musketeers suddenly raised their muskets, followed by the fire, the few armor soldiers did not have time to hide, each of them was hit by several lead bullets, although the eight-coin projectile of the machine gun failed to break the armor, but still had a certain amount of energy, a soldier was knocked out of the ribs, the arrogant white armor was directly hit by a turtledove hammer hit the door, straight to the ground, the nose turned into a blood hole, flowing out of red and white liquid, the people around them also fell, the terrible howl was endless. The soldiers behind were startled, they didn't expect to be able to hit so far, they all hid behind, several clever people shouted and fled to the city wall, driven by them, some other people who were not tied up also fled in chaos, and the people in the city shouted together to let them run.

After the golden armor soldiers quickly reacted, the fire guns needed to be reloaded, they chased out, aimed at the backs of the fleeing people and fired arrows again and again, one by one heavy arrows were inserted into the backs of the people without any obstruction, more than 20 people fell one after another, and soon only the last three people remained.

The last three civilians have already run into seventy steps, chasing five armor soldiers behind, the musketeers are still nervously loading, Lu Chuanzong clenched his fists, his heart was about to jump out, as long as he entered fifty steps, the muskets covered a round, these people could live.

One of the men who fled to the front had wide eyes, his mouth wide open, his expression mixed with hope and fear, he stretched out a hand high above the city, as if they had been able to pull him up, five bowstring sounds, he shook violently, his chest rose forward, and he stumbled a few steps, the raised hand crossed an arc in the air, and as his body fell to the ground, revealing the shafts of two heavy arrows stuck in his back. The three men fell fifty paces outside the wall, and the five archers, who had not yet fired their muskets, turned and ran.

Dolgon outside the city sneered, looking at the smoke on the city tower, a Jia La'e Zhen flattered: "It turns out that the guns of this Ming army can fight more than 120 steps, but the armor of those armor soldiers is not penetrated. Thanks to the clever plan of the Fourteenth Baylor, he tried out the range of the Ming army's guns with a few Yu Ding disguises. How to do it next, please Baylor to show me. ”

Dolgon said lightly: "Cut down those people, let's go back to the camp, go around the city tomorrow, and return to Liangxiang the day after tomorrow." ”

On the city wall, there was a voice of regret in extreme annoyance, Lu Chuanzong was so angry that he slapped his palm on the wall, and Gu'an Zhixian saw the situation of several people, and even his jaw trembled in fright.

Chen Xin looked at the corpses of the people on the ground, and suddenly asked Zhu Guobin beside him, "They first appeared from the northwest?" ”

Zhu Guobin immediately replied: "Indeed, it is from the official road in the direction of Liangxiang, and the Lord means that the Jiannu army has moved to the direction of Lugou Bridge in the southwest of Beijing, so the south and southeast directions may be able to go." ”

Chen Xin said to Zhu Guobin: "Choose five nights and don't accept it, let them go to Beijing with the sea dogs, I have a very important letter to send." ”

Zhu Guobin still did not ask superfluous questions, immediately entered the city tower and wrote his name for five nights, and sent his own soldiers to the crossroads to inform the five people to come to the north gate to stand by. After a while, the sound of horses' hooves sounded, and the five Ye Bu Shui had already arrived with one person and two horses, and more than a hundred war horses had been captured last time, so the number of horses that Ye Bu had increased by one, so that they could expand the reconnaissance range.

Chen Xin took a few people into the city tower and said to them: "After this group of Jiannu retreats in a while, you will go out of the city from the east gate, hurry overnight, go east first, and prefer to take some detours, and you must send the naval sergeant to the Beijing division safely." ”

After a few nights, he didn't accept his face and simply responded, and when they withdrew, Chen Xincai said to the sea dog: "Dog, three things, a Tang newspaper, a good news, and a secret letter, when you enter the city, you can only hand over the Tang report out, that is, the yellow one, others ask you not to talk about the big victory, just say that Gu'an was attacked, you are here to report the news, I don't know anything else, the Tang report to the Ministry of War, and the other two are to Mr. Song, he is in the small courtyard of Chongwenmen where you have been." Remember? ”

The sea dog smirked: "Got it." ”

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

Two days later, the sea dog and his party rushed to the Zuo'anmen of the Beijing Division, they went around to the east, did not encounter any Houjin people on the way, when they entered the suburbs of the Beijing Division, there were no eyes in the place where the eyes were once densely populated, there were broken walls and ruins everywhere, and the roadside was full of people who died of cold and hunger.

When they arrived at Zuo'anmen, they handed over the Tang newspaper and the waist card, checked for a long time, and finally were put into the urn city, and after entering the city, they were taken to the military department by a five-army battalion, and the sea dog entrusted it to a night not to do it, and he left quietly and went to the small courtyard outside the Chongwen Gate by the laneway.

After Zhang Dahui opened the door, he was stunned for a moment, and then recognized that it was the sea dog, and happily hugged the sea dog, these two little beggars who were begging together were no longer what they were back then.

Song Wenxian heard the sound and came out, saw that it was a sea dog, hurriedly asked about the situation of the sea dog, couldn't help but be ecstatic, first read the good news, after reading it hahaha laughed three times, and then he returned to the house and closed the door, anxiously opened the letter, a few pages of secret letters are full of dense numbers, some numbers are separated by a tadpole-like mark, see a number is a five, Song Wenxian immediately chose a golden bottle on the shelf, the cover of the book is marked with five horizontals, and then put it on the table, press the second number to turn the page, the third number to determine the number of columns, The fourth number determines the number of words, and after selection, write a "Wen" word on the paper with a pen.

This is Chen Xin's spy method, both of them have the same study room and the same edition of five books in their hands, through guò digital positioning text, simple and effective, the people in the transmission do not know what the book is, even if the secret letter falls into the hands of others, it is useless.

Repeating this, it took him a quarter of an hour to translate this secret letter, and after he finished writing it, he read it himself: "The merit of planning cannot be attributed to the Ministry of War, but must be given to Wen Tiren, and the exchange condition is that this military merit shall not be divided among the soldiers of other battalions, and it will be directly submitted to the emperor, and in addition, it cannot be arranged by the Ministry of War to attack......"

Song Wenxian looked up and laughed with satisfaction after reading it, Liangxiang had fallen, Jingshi was already in a mess, and sure enough, there was still a good time, Chen Xin did not disappoint him, he finally waited for what he urgently needed.

There are a few things in it, Chen Xin only said the requirements, how to complete it requires him to use his brain, he has a brain teaser, and muttered in his mouth: "He is a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, how can he get this strategic work......"

He suddenly slapped his leg, "It just happened to be pushed on Wang Qia, anyway, no one believes what he says now, and the rest is Wen Shangshu to figure out his own way, with this strategy, he is afraid that he will be able to enter the cabinet." ”
