Chapter 478: The Battle of Jiangbei (9)

This appointment made He Zhen dumbfounded, he didn't want to bring a group of soldiers into the city, and some of the soldiers were his subordinates, if he was recognized by his subordinates, he was not Zhang Shun, but He Zhen, and he would die in the Qing army camp today.

He hurriedly said to Aobai: "Those soldiers and generals are just a little blood and soft bones, let them enter the city, isn't it a waste of Lord Shangshu's heart, the small one has subordinates in the west city to respond, I wish to return to the city tonight, open the west gate and the north gate tomorrow night, and welcome the Qing heavenly soldiers into the city." ”

Small kiosk

Ao Bai pointed to his head.

"Don't you all shave your hair?"

He Zhen said that this was no problem, many soldiers in the Ming army surrendered to the Qing army, and later returned to the Ming army, and in order to show that they were not Qing soldiers, they all shaved their heads.

He can also shave his head and return to the army and continue to command his subordinates.

Ao Bai thought about it, agreed to He Zhen's request, and asked him to go back quickly.

He Zhen left the Qing army camp and came to Jiuli Guanxi City, which was garrisoned by his subordinates, and when he saw him return, he did not dare to open the city gate, but pulled him up with a basket.

After he left, Ao Bai immediately came to the spirit, he ordered Hehu to snipe the elite soldiers of the 4,000 Eight Banners Green Battalion, and tomorrow night Zhang Jinyan opened the city gate, quickly raided Jiuli Pass, and eliminated all the soldiers of the Ming army in the pass.

Hehu was a little surprised, and said to Aobai: "Dutong, there are thousands of Ming soldiers and generals who surrendered, and it's a pity to kill them like this." ”

"It's just a fake and real deception, what is that Zhang Jinyan, a down-and-out former dynasty scholar, the general soldier of the Ming State just now, I know him."

Hehu seemed to be a fool, Ao Bai saw that he didn't understand, and told Hehu that this person was not called Zhang Shun at all, but He Zhen, the general of the Dashun Army, surrendered to the Qing Dynasty in Hanzhong Mansion, and later returned to the Ming Kingdom.

When he saw He Zhen after shaving his hair tonight, he always felt a little familiar, and finally suddenly found that this person was not Hanzhong Mansion, the surrendered general of the Dashun Army, He Zhen?

He remained silent, let He Zhen play, and deliberately agreed to He Zhen to go back, in fact, he had already seen through the tactics of the Ming army, so he planned to let the Ming army open the city gate, and then the whole army entered the city and killed all the Ming troops in the city.

Hehu couldn't help admiring Aobai's cleverness, and said to Aobai: "Dutong, it's really high."

Yes. ”

However, Hehu is also worried that he will use 4,000 soldiers and horses to enter the city tomorrow night, is there a lack of troops?

Ao Bai Haomai let him attack boldly, he led the main force to reinforce in the back, after sunrise the day after tomorrow, Jiuliguan was not allowed to have a living Ming army and civilians.

The Qing army sharpened its knives, and the Ming army also had a target in the city, and the soldiers and horses of various departments dug traps in the city, arranged organs, and waited for the Qing army to come in and send them to death.

Zhang Jinyan was singing a small song in the mansion, and when he heard the sound of people coming and going in the city, he was afraid that He Zhen and Zhang Shun would act in advance and wanted to go out to see, but he was driven back by He Zhen's own soldiers.

The soldiers told him that no one was allowed to leave the mansion without the order of General He, and no one else was allowed to harass Lord Shangshu.

This reason left Zhang Jinyan speechless, and he continued to wait at home.

At dawn the next day, He Zhen returned from outside the city, quietly came to his mansion, made a gesture of success with him, and left immediately.

Zhang Jinyan was ecstatic in his heart, it seems that He Zhen sent the letter to the Qing army, and when he launched a mutiny tonight, he tied up Ling Jingyang, and dedicated Ling Jingyang and Jiuliguan to the Qing army to seek wealth and wealth.

During the day of the next day, the Qing army rarely did not attack the city, and the Ming army did not curse people on the city wall.

After dark, He Zhen and Zhang Shun led the "rebels" to start a mutiny.

Outside the city, Ao Bai also put on armor, and ordered Hehu to lead 4,000 elite soldiers to rush into the city at any time, and he led 20,000 troops to support behind.

On the third watch, suddenly there was a killing cry in the city, and the corners of Aobai and Hehu's mouth rose, and after a while, Ling Jingyang was tied up and pushed to the city.

Ao Bai Ke whether it is Ling Jingyang or others, after tonight, the entire Jiuli Pass will have to die.

Seeing the city gate open, Hehu couldn't wait to lead four thousand elite soldiers to charge into the city, Ling Jingyang saw the Qing army rushing in on the city wall, and nodded with Zhang Shun on the side.

Zhang Shun made a gesture with the ambush soldiers in the city, and the Ming army in the city hurriedly hid their bodies and waited for the Qing army to enter the city to kill and wound the Qing army early.

Ling Jingyang's goal tonight was to annihilate the Qing army, and he didn't want to destroy all the Qing troops outside the city, and of course he didn't have that strength.

Ao Bai was a lion who opened his mouth and wanted to eat all the Ming troops in the city in one go, both of them

Each has its own strategic goals.

Ling Jingyang suddenly saw that outside the city, there was a larger Qing army, and he also knew that the real purpose of the Qing army was to use the Ming army to deceive and rush into the city to destroy all the Ming army.

After Aobai launched an attack on Hehu, he also led the troops to charge, and as soon as Aobai charged, the Ming artillery battalion began to open fire, and dozens of shells flew into the air and landed in the Aobai army.

Sleeping three Qing soldiers were killed and wounded, Ao Bai was frightened by this artillery fire, but he was not afraid of the Ming army, Hehu rushed into the pass, guarded the city gate, and created an opportunity for him to lead the army into the city, as long as he rushed into the city, he could destroy the Ming army.

Ling Jingyang saw Hehu leading part of the Qing army into the city, and suddenly ordered the gate to be closed, and ordered Zhang Shun, directly under the army headquarters to garrison the city wall, and he led the Iron Fist Legion and other combat troops to encircle and suppress the Qing army in the city.

The two iron gates of the north gate and the west gate fell to the ground with a bang, and the Qing soldiers inside could not get out, and the Qing army outside had no siege weapons, and they would not be able to rush in for a while and a half.

Ao Bai saw that the gate was suddenly lowered, and immediately felt that the Ming army was not defeating the Qing army, but only eliminating part of the Qing army entering the city, and naturally restrained his big opening and closing tactics.

In order to rescue Hehu and others rushed into the middle of the city, he hurriedly led the troops to attack the city, but the night siege of the city, how easy is the daytime, the Ming army condescended to defend layer by layer.

First with bows and arrows, then with firearms, and finally cold weapons on the field, when the Qing army was still hundreds of meters away from the city wall, hundreds of people were shot and killed, the Qing army could not rush over, and several attacks were repulsed.

The Qing army outside the city did not reinforce in time, and the Qing army surrounded inside the city resisted to the death under the command of Hehu. But the Ming army had the right time and place, and it was an ambush war, and the battle showed a one-sided trend at the beginning, and the Qing army such as Hehu fell into an encirclement and was beaten without the power to fight back.

The Ming army became more and more courageous, even Lu Sheng and Wang Guangshu led their subordinates to beat the Qing army, and after a while, the Qing army that rushed into the city was almost completely annihilated, leaving only Hehu and hundreds of Qing soldiers, who threw away their weapons and surrendered to the Ming army with their hands raised.

Ling Jingyang ordered him to be captured, and then the troops and horses climbed the city wall to carry out defensive battles.

At this time, the Qing army outside the city also knew that the friendly troops in the city had been wiped out, and continuing to attack the city would only consume the lives of the soldiers in vain.
