Chapter 496: Ambush

"Quickly pass the book to the prime minister, this cabinet is only afraid that it will be delayed any longer, and the situation will not be easy to clean up!"

Liu Lishun was born as a scholar in Jinshi and Di, where had he seen such a scene of forcing the palace, and he didn't dare to come forward to take someone in a brocade guard, turned his head and greeted Ma Sande, and hurriedly went straight to the cabinet.

"Phew, how can the marshal use this kind of goods to preside over the affairs of the Jingshi? A few of you have listened to Ben Shuai, as long as these cowards don't storm the palace gate, they will make trouble for the time being, and Ben Shuai will pass on the letter to the prime minister now to see what instructions the prime minister has. ”

Ma Sande looked at Liu Lishun's back, couldn't help but spit out thick phlegm, and hurriedly beckoned a few brocade guards around him to calm down, asking them to keep an eye on the situation of the officials and civilians here in the Forbidden City.

In the courtyard of the military and civilian soldiers in front of the Daming Gate, Liu Lishun, the first assistant of the cabinet, and Yin Xingmin, the head of the military department, and the head of the military department, Liu Jiaji, and others were drinking tea leisurely.

"Hehe, Chen Qixin's house was bewitched by Wu Changshi and Zhou Zhonglian and others, and it was like beating chicken blood to serve the Heavenly Palace, and now the Jingshi is moving, dozens of court officials and thousands of scholars are kneeling in Daming Gate, and the attention of Jinyi Wei and the city defense army has been attracted, but it is cheaper for us."

Liu Jiaji, the head of the household department, picked up the teacup in front of the case, took a sip lightly, and looked at Yin Xingmin and the others unexpectedly.

Yin Xingmin nodded approvingly, "What Director Liu said is right, the Beijing division is in chaos, Xiao Li thief must be in a hurry to return to Beijing, this is a godsend, Director Fang, have you prepared it over there?" ”

Fang Shiliang hesitated for a moment and said: "I don't dare to say, the Jin merchants over there in Zhangjiakou sent five hundred dead soldiers in two batches under the pretext of purchasing materials, all of them are Mongols and Jianzhou Jurchens, and the official has ordered someone to send the bow and crossbow out of the city in the name of a funeral, according to Fan Yongdou, these Manchurians are all very warriors with an enemy, as long as Xiao Li thief does not return with a large army, it is not difficult to attack and kill him." ”

"Hmph, the German Fan and the rebel commander forced the first emperor to death, everyone in the world got and punished him, now Xiao Li thief was defeated in Jiaoshan, his military horse must be disheartened, the officials and people of Beijing are making trouble, under the internal and external troubles, he must be anxious to return to Beijing, this matter will be successful, Zhu Youshu relied on, Xiao Li thief, as long as the attack is successful, the Shandong army has no leader, we will be able to Kuang Sheji, in order to avenge the revenge of the first emperor."

"What Brother Yin said is very true, Xiao Li has no queen, as long as this person dies, we can take the opportunity to buy his army, and then Wang Du, Sun Buyuan, and Wu Zongzhen will be able to capture the criminal clan in one fell swoop."

Liu Jiaji stroked his palms and laughed, several of them relied on the power in their hands, and they had been inextricably linked with the Jin Shang Group and the Guanning Army before, and Hong Chengchou also had old feelings, Li Xingzhi's large-scale Northern Expedition, they were all panicked, for fear that Wu Sangui's defeat would implicate themselves, so after Li Xingzhi left Beijing, he contacted Fan Yongdou and other Jin merchants, and the two sides hit it off.

Originally, they planned to use the Jin merchants to escape from the Beijing Division, but the situation in the Beijing Division changed abruptly, and the Jingbei Army was defeated in Jiaoshan, which made them have the idea of assassinating Li Xingzhi.

Niulan Mountain, that is, the place where Dolgon and Yue Tuo hoarded troops in those years, is also the only way to get stuck in Shanhaiguan to the official road of Jingshi.

The land of Gyeonggi, located in the plain, that is, the terrain of Niulan Mountain is dangerous, after the pseudo-Qing Dynasty inlaid yellow flag Niulu Zhangjing Ta Yinbu arrived in the suburbs of Beijing, he took a fancy to this place at a glance, thinking that setting up an ambush in this place would inevitably catch Xiao Li Thief off guard.

After Tayinbu led his troops into Niulan Mountain, he issued a strict order, strictly prohibiting the Niu Lu under his command from making fires to make food, only allowed to use dry food to satisfy hunger, if the cold was really unbearable, he could only drink a few sips of wine to warm his body, he was full of strength, to kill the culprit who had harmed the two princes and emperors of Manchuria in one fell swoop.

Things were also as Yin Xingmin expected, on November 28, a group of six or seven hundred men appeared on the official road in the northwest of Niulan Mountain, and this army and horses fought Li Xingzhi's general banner, but there were not many cavalry, only thirty or forty people, and the rest were all wearing black armor, guarding a carriage with a Qingluo umbrella cover, and were slowly moving in the direction of Jingshi.

"Wu Na Han dog, come and take a look, is this the chariot of Xiao Li thief?"

Ta Yinbu was not familiar with the Jingbei Army, so he pulled over a Han man in a cyan cotton robe and handed over the clairvoyant mirror in his hand, this person was Yin Fang, the housekeeper of Yin Xingmin's courtyard, and Yin Xingmin's distant cousin, who was quite trusted by Yin Xingmin.

Therefore, Li Xingzhi was assassinated in this matter, and Yin Xingmin specially sent him to cooperate with Gang Taha, thinking that it was a perfect plan.

"General, this is the chariot of the little Li thief, the guy who took the lead with the mace is Li Bangjie, the commander of the little Li thief's personal army, the little one is absolutely not mistaken."

Yin Fang raised the clairvoyant mirror and looked at it carefully, in fact, he was not very familiar with Li Xingzhi, and his appearance was only told by his own brother, but Li Bangjie was recognizable to him at a glance, after all, this tower-like figure, he had seen it many times in the Yihong Mansion in Jingshi, and he would never be wrong.

"Prepare to shoot, remember, after two rounds of arrow rain, the whole army will assault, be sure to kill Xiao Li thief in one fell swoop, and the thief will take revenge."

Although the Yellow Banner has always been Azig as the banner owner, it is subordinate to Huang Taiji, although Manchuria is now jointly governed by Dolgon and Huang Taiji, but Ta Yinbu is still grateful to Huang Taiji from the bottom of his heart, and now the enemy is in front of him, so he naturally wants to be happy with his revenge.

"Wow!"

A group of Manchurian soldiers, one after another, raised the bows and crossbows in their hands one by one, and silently calculated the range of the car from their bows and crossbows.

"Shoot the chariot for this chapter Kyo"

Seeing that the car was not far away, Tayinbu resolutely gave the order to attack.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh......!"

Although these bows and crossbows were produced by the Ming Dynasty, this did not affect the shooting accuracy of the Manchurian soldiers at all.

After a rain of arrows, more than a dozen cavalrymen in the front row fell from their horses, and the carriage of the four-wheeled carriage was shot by countless arrows, so that the four horses were full of arrows on the spot and fell in a pool of blood.

"Quickly protect the Prime Minister, protect the Prime Minister, there are assassins, there are assassins!"

The iron-clad ironmen were not very afraid of bows and arrows, and after a short period of confusion, they formed a circle under Li Bangjie's orders and surrounded the carriage full of arrows.

"The time has come for the sons and daughters to avenge the first emperor!"

Tayinbu threw down the longbow in his hand, drew the long knife at his waist, and rushed like a beast towards the hastily formed circle of iron soldiers.

Lord Zhang Jing took the lead, and those Manchurian soldiers with yellow flags were naturally beaten with chicken blood, and they picked up the swords and spears in their hands and rushed behind Ta Yinbu like a tide.

"It's actually Manchurians, brothers, we defeated the Manchurian hoplites in southern Liaoning, and now there are only some infantry in front of us, this is a fucking rush to deliver food to us, the front row of pikemen prepare, don't fall into the prestige of my iron soldiers."

Seeing that the assassin in front of him was actually a Manchurian, Li Bangjie was happy, but the handsome man said that the head of a Manchurian Tartar is twenty taels of silver, and I am afraid that there are not hundreds of them here, this is to send money to Lao Tzu, and he didn't care that Li Xingzhi used him as a bait to trick the assassin into taking the bait.
