"Boom...... Boom ......" The sudden roar in the night sky tore through the entire sky, and more than a dozen shells blew open the tent of the Wu army camp in the city, and the iron nails and debris quickly splashed along the powerful air wave, and the sleeping Wu army suddenly woke up, followed by the screams of the injured companions.

Quiet, under the short night sky, except for the groans of pain, suddenly quieted, and all the soldiers of the Wu army who had been awakened from their dreams looked left and right in the darkness, their panicked eyes revealing the deepest fear in their hearts.

"Ming Gouzi is here." Someone quickly jumped up from his seat and ran frantically to the gate of the camp to get his own knife.

"Kill!" The frightened soldiers found that there was a fire outside the camp tent, and after the artillery bombardment, the high temperature ignited the flammable tents, and the frightened soldiers suddenly became irritable, and they quickly rushed to the camp gate and snatched the weapons from the weapon racks.

Bomb the camp! The soldiers lived in fear, especially on the eve of the war, no one knew whether they would be able to come back alive tomorrow, and everyone was on the verge of a nervous breakdown. At this time, it may be due to the screaming of a soldier in a nightmare at night, and then all the people scream in unison, everyone fights and even gnaws at each other, chasing and killing officers, enemies, people they don't know, and comrades. The next day, only corpses were left in one place.

And this row of artillery was the catalyst, the soldiers who were awakened woke up, heard the groans of their comrades, heard the roar of artillery, smelled the smell of burning everywhere, saw the flames flowing everywhere, and finally broke down.

"Kill, kill the dog!" Countless swaying figures fought together in the light of the fire. "Kill the dog, wow." Someone's face twisted and screamed from his throat, but without hesitation, he slashed at a companion wearing the same uniform on the side, and the head rolled down, blood splashing everywhere.

They all went crazy, and after the blood spread, some people who were still sane also went crazy, and countless screams spread. In the night, there was only blood and groans.

The artillery battalion of the Dingbei Army outside the city was startled by the sudden screaming, they came to harass by order, and now they are galloping again, and there are rotating artillery, the artillery battalion can be said to come and go like the wind, as long as they are not pursued by the cavalry of the brigade, no one can do anything to them.

But the screaming in the city was terrifying. It was like an army of thousands of horses, although the gates were as closed as ever. Originally, they estimated that they would shell about three or four rounds, and then retreat calmly when the other party reacted and sent out cavalry. But in this way, on the contrary, there was some uneasiness, the artillery camp is the lifeblood of the Dingbei Army, Li Dashuai also estimated that there was no danger of a sneak attack in the middle of the night before deciding to give the Qing army a night to harass the Qing army to make it sharp, before leaving the camp, he also told him to be careful, therefore, the Qianhu officials did not dare to take any more risks. With a wave of his hand: "Don't pretend to be gunpowder." Get ready to escape. ”

The bloodshed in the city had just begun, and the frenzied soldiers began to walk out of the barracks. stepped on the corpse of his companion, looking forward to his former comrades-in-arms. Now the enemy, some of the soldiers who were macheted were still struggling in pools of blood and not dying. Soon someone stepped on the man's head, and with a snort, a cold light appeared in the night, and the sword pierced the man's brain, and the red and white juice gradually fell on the victor's boot, and then the owner of the boot moved, and he hid into another darkness with the sword, looking for the next target.

Wu Sangui was also awakened by the sound of cannons. Immediately afterward, there was a shout of killing from Dongcheng. He felt a thrust in his heart. Could it be that Li Dingguo entered the city?

Wu's army numbered 60,000. They were stationed in four cities, southeast, northwest, and northwest. The shouts of killing in Dongcheng became more and more intense. Immediately afterwards, several officers covered in blood stumbled into the palace where King Pingxi was staying.

"Lord Wang. Oh no. Outside the city there was artillery shelling by bandits. Brother Dongcheng has bombed the camp. General Wang's head was cut off by the rebels. A few of our old brothers escaped with their lives. "The crying ground is a forty-year-old land thousand presidents. Half of his arm was cut off with a deep blood mark. Blood was pouring from the wound. The entire forearm is half-hung at the side.

Wu Sangui's face was shocked. The bombing of the camp is an ominous omen. It indicates that the troops are facing a catastrophe. Wu Sangui may not believe this kind of talk. But the 60,000-strong army believed that the locals were afraid that it was because of the carp crossing the river. And so it goes. I'm afraid that the morale of the original vigorous and healthy will be frustrated. But this is not the time to think about morale. These are all Wu Sangui's capital. If it cannot be handled properly. 10,000 people in Dongcheng will be over.

"Where did the artillery come from? What is the mood of the soldiers in the other cities? Wu Sangui asked anxiously. While shouting at the door in a daze, the soldiers shouted: "What are you still doing?" All the pro-soldiers gathered outside the ya. Prepare the horse. ”

"It should be the sound of ground cannons outside the East City. The soldiers in the other camps were also panicked. Fortunately, some officers immediately reacted to the bullet pressure. It's not a big deal. Rajah. Do you want to transfer troops to bomb and press? "The reply was a rushing Lan Ling supplement officer.

Wu Sangui's face was deep and chilling, and his blade-like eyes kept flickering in the candlelight: "Send a team of cavalry immediately, it is not easy to transport artillery, even if the thief army wants to escape, I am afraid that it will not be able to escape far, this king wants to let the heads of these dog thieves." ”

"Wow!" A standby leader hit a thousand, turned around and was about to go out, but was stopped by Wu Sangui, Wu Sangui's face suddenly relaxed at the moment, and he couldn't help but look much older: "There is no need to chase, since Li Dingguo dares to let his artillery bombard the city, he must have a way to retreat, maybe this is exactly the plan set by Li Dingguo to lure the enemy, deliberately luring our army out of the city." ”

"Command the battalions, surround the rebels, and kill anyone with weapons!" Wu Sangui hurriedly led a team of people out of the government and personally dispatched the armies of each battalion to form a siege in Dongcheng.

Countless torches began to be lit in the city, and the rebels in the eastern city watched the crowd of people who were black on three sides coming with spears, followed by countless gongs being sounded continuously, and someone was shouting: "The king of Pingxi has an order, lay down his arms, he can be pardoned for his capital crimes, and all those who want to live will squat on the ground." ”

The night wind blew, and under the light of the torches as bright as day, the rebels began to gradually calm down, and after the madness, there was endless panic and exhaustion, everyone let go of their hands, and with a ding, the weapon fell in a pool of blood...

The whole riot only lasted for a short half an hour, but the Wu army lost more than 4,000 soldiers, Wu Sangui didn't care about anything else, and constantly pacified the battalions and treated the wounded, and the entire Karen city was in chaos all night.

The bombing of the Wu army's battalion was not expected by Li Dingguo, and the artillery battalion was dispatched this time to test the performance of the new artillery and to undermine the morale of the Wu army. In addition, this horse-drawn artillery is fast enough to move on the gallop road, as long as it is not the cavalry of the Wu army, there is no problem in retreating calmly.

As for whether Wu Sangui's cavalry will go out of the city to attack, Li Dingguo is very determined, this veteran who is good at using tricks has already expected Wu Sangui's temperament, Wu Sangui is a veteran, and has always been quite jealous of himself, in this case, Li Dingguo let the artillery go to the sneak attack, Wu Sangui must think that he is a veteran soldier, and will never let the artillery battalion be listed under the city without preparation, how can a person with a veteran soldier make such a low mistake? Wu Sangui didn't believe it, so he was fooled.

This kind of tactic is similar to the empty city plan, it is a trick that is virtual and real, and real is virtual.

The Dingbei Army has been hidden in the undulating mountains of northern Burma, and when the artillery battalion returns to the camp and the Qianhu officials come back to report, Li Dingguo has already nodded with his beard: "Although there is only one round of shelling, after all, safety is the first, you can bring the artillery battalion back completely, it is a great achievement, and your name must be written in the credit book." ”

"Thank you for your promotion." Qianhu officials happily withdrew from the Chinese army camp and did not sleep all night, and now is the time to catch up on sleep.

As soon as the thousands of household officials left, Li Dingguo frowned, although he took some small advantage this time and consumed the spirit of the Wu army, but the real decisive battle was just beginning, and the 20,000 people under his command might be enough to defend the army, but how easy was it to annihilate the enemy?

The war report in northern Myanmar was transmitted to Haidu by Li Dingguo a few days ago, but the flying pigeon was not safe, and it was easy to cause mistakes, so he specially sent a scout Pegasus to report along the galloping road to Haidu, if the flying pigeon can be transmitted to Haidu, then the emperor's will can fly the pigeon back in one or two days, and if the reinforcements of Haidu borrow the galloping road to rush overnight, I am afraid that it will only arrive in seven or eight days, and I don't know how many variables there are.

"Marshal, the news of Haidu has come, and there is a secret decree from the emperor here." There was a joyful shout outside the tent, and an officer with both hands arched a yellow silk the size of a silk handkerchief rushed into the tent without waiting for the personal soldiers at the door to report.

"Oh? It came so fast. Li Dingguo's spirit was shocked, and he respectfully used his hands to pick up the yellow silk held by the officer, gently unfolded it, looked at it carefully, and then meditated for a moment with a solemn face, sometimes nodding, sometimes shaking his head, and then his face gradually turned pale.

"Marshal, could it be that Haidu City can't send reinforcements?" Seeing Li Dingguo's pale appearance, the officer asked softly.

Li Dingguo waved his hand, let out a long breath and said: "It's not, it's just that the strategy set by the emperor in the secret decree is really dangerous, if he wins, he will naturally destroy Wu Wei in one fell swoop, what if something happens in the middle?" Hey, the emperor is young and vigorous, and although he is a good move, it is also extremely dangerous. ”

The officer listened in a fog, but he also guessed a little bit of the marshal's worries, and comforted: "God bless the Ming, the emperor is the true dragon and the son of heaven, since the method of destroying the enemy has been decided, we will act according to the plan, and the marshal does not have to bear too much."

Li Dingguo nodded and said, "Well, that's exactly the truth, the emperor is talented and intelligent, and it is beyond the reach of my generation, so let's act according to the secret order." Tell him to go down and let all the generals come to the camp. ”

"Yes."
