"Squeak————

With a tooth-aching squeak, the tall and heavy gate of Jinan City slowly opened in front of Chen Wang.

The waiting time was not long, and after a short period of stunnedness, the guards of Jinan Dongcheng immediately ordered the city gate to be opened.

No one suspected that it was a deception, and no one doubted the identity of the troops outside the city.

The cavalry army outside the city swept all the way, and the blood of those who were killed outside the city was like a river.

And the city was about to be broken, so why bother to put on a show to deceive them?

The city gate opened, and the guards who followed Chen Wang's side and were in charge of the trumpet blew the horn hanging on his waist.

Hu Zhili and Chen Gong, who were in pursuit, heard the sound of the horn, and stopped their horses, and then led the cavalry of their headquarters to quickly transfer and began to shrink towards the city.

"Into the city."

The city gate opened, Chen Wang waved the horse lance, kicked the horse's belly, and drove the war horse under the seat to take the lead in Jinan City.

A group of guards and armored cavalry followed, followed by a group of Hanzhong town cavalry who followed behind him and charged into battle.

The sound of horses' hooves was loud, spreading back and forth in the city gate corridor, like thunder.

The cavalry of the Qing army galloping from the north and south came from the fast horses, but it was difficult to save the fire from far away.

The gates of Jinan City had been opened, and by the time they arrived, everything was already over.

After entering from the city gate, it is not directly into the city, but in the Ming Dynasty, all the larger cities are urns.

The urn city is generally built behind the city gate, and the two sides of the urn city are connected with the city wall to build.

The gates of the urn city are usually not in the same straight line as the protected gates, in case of attacks by weapons such as battering rams.

The urn city is generally connected with the city wall, and is generally semicircular, or square or rectangular.

When the enemy has breached the outer gates, they must enter the urn first.

There are defensive facilities such as arrow towers, gates, and pheasant moats on the urn city.

The attacking army will be besieged on all sides by the defenders, and it will be difficult to launch an offensive and will have to continue to attack from the outer walls.

There are also iron gates hidden on the arches of some cities, and if the soldiers and horses besieging the city enter the urn city, the defenders in the city can form a turtle in the urn against the enemy if they fall under the iron gate.

Having lost their ability to support the city, the final fate of the besieging soldiers who entered the city was only death.

At the time of the Jingjing, Ming Chengzu Zhu Di was almost killed by Tie Xuan, who was participating in the politics of Shandong at the time, with an iron gate placed on the arch of the door in advance.

The passage of the city gate was not long, and Chen Wang soon led his troops through the corridor into the urn city in the east city of Jinan.

The city gate of Jinan Dongcheng was not broken by the Qing army, and the Qing army did not have heavy artillery or built siege rams and other equipment, and had been attacking the city wall, so the urn city in the inner city of Jinan Dongcheng was still intact.

After passing through the Yongdao, Chen Wang happened to see a blood-stained general wearing fish scale armor and a bright helmet riding a war horse and galloping from a short distance with a team of family members.

When the horse approached, the general on the horse rolled off the saddle and knelt on one knee, clenched his fists and bowed his head.

"Laizhou garrison Ji Yan, knock to see the chief soldier."

Chen Wang raised his eyes to look at Ji Yan, in the battle of Jinan in history, the governor Yan Jizu had been ordered to lead the troops to move to Dezhou, and there were only 500 and 700 reinforcements from Laizhou left in the city.

These people were later killed in the city of Jinan......

Ji Yan in front of him was covered in blood, and the blood in many places was dark red, obviously having congealed for a long time.

The armor on Ji Yan's body had knife marks and arrow sores in many places, which were obviously traces left in the bloody battle.

"The city defense of Jinan City is now taken over by me."

Chen Wang raised the horsewhip in his hand and said in a condensed voice.

"Who is the commander of the four walls of Jinan, and who is in charge of the city defense?"

"Returning to the general army, the head of the eastern city wall is Lu Can, the governor of Jinan Mansion, and he leads the army to assist in the defense."

"The head of the southern city wall is the prefect of Jinan Prefecture."

"The head of the north city wall is the training of the Shandong sub-patrol Jinan Road to participate in the political week."

"The political envoy Zhang Bingwen is in charge of the city's defense affairs, and the western city wall is also under his jurisdiction."

Ji Yan bowed his head, just thought for a moment and replied.

"There will be no threat to the Donglu outside the eastern city for the time being, and I will give you a quarter of an hour to regather the soldiers and horses under your command."

Chen Wang lightly pulled the reins of the horse, crossed the horse's head, and said in a condensed voice.

"Also, the news of the arrival of reinforcements will be quickly spread to the four cities."

"Yes."

Ji Yan bowed his head and bowed, and led the military order neatly.

In a hurry, Ji Yan naturally wouldn't say anything else irrelevant at this time.

What procedures and regulations are not things that should be mentioned at this time.

Just when Chen Wang gave an order to Ji Yan, Hu Zhili and Chen Gong also passed through the Yongdao and entered the urn city one after another.

"Get on the road, walk from the city wall, according to the original plan, Zhili you lead the headquarters soldiers and horses to gallop to the south city, and Chen Gong you lead the headquarters soldiers and horses to gallop to the north city."

Chen Wang turned his head and gave a military order to Hu Zhili and Chen Gong.

According to the original historical process, the Qing army began to attack Jinan City on the 23rd Chinese New Year's Eve of the lunar month, and broke through Jinan City on the second day of the first lunar month.

Because of his own intervention, this time there were more than 1,000 soldiers and horses in Jinan City, but after all, it was still a drop in the bucket.

The news received from all sides is that the city of Jinan is crumbling and the defense line is about to be broken.

In order to avoid falling short, after dividing the troops with Sun Chuanting, Chen Wang did not dare to stay for a long time.

After the outbreak of the Luokou War, he led the soldiers and horses all the way to the eastern suburbs of Jinan City.

This time to lead the army, Chen Wang led a total of 3,000 cavalry.

Of the 3,000 cavalry, only more than 1,000 were his own cavalry, and the remaining 2,000 cavalry were temporarily drawn from various divisions.

The more than 2,000 cavalry members were the elite of the various armies, and they were selected by Chen Wang from the Shandong Army in Dezhou, the Guanning Cavalry under Zu Kuan, and the battalions of various battalions in Shaanxi.

Now it seems that it has come in time, the city defense of Jinan City has not completely collapsed, and the Qing army has not yet entered the city for the time being.

Because how much of a butterfly effect he caused worked.

The battle in Luokou Town weakened the combat effectiveness of the Qing army besieging the city, and the extra thousand soldiers also allowed the direction of Jinan City to hold on for a little more time.

Hu Zhili and Chen Gong responded to the order with their fists very neatly, and the two of them took their soldiers to gallop straight along the side doors on both sides of the urn city.

Chen Wang raised his head and looked ahead, the city gate in the center of the urn city was in front of his eyes.

Through this city gate, you will directly enter the main road facing the east and west of Jinan City.

The roads in the city of Jinan are paved with bluestone, which is extremely conducive to running horses and vehicles, and the transfer of soldiers.

Hu Zhili and Chen Gong rushed to the aid of the north and south cities, and the task of rushing to the west was naturally Chen Wang's personal responsibility.

Xicheng is the most tragic battlefield in the defense of Jinan, the west is the main direction of attack of the Qing army, the Qing army invested the most soldiers, and spent a lot of energy.

The fastest and most timely way to rush to the north and south is to go up the city wall on the horse road.

Jinan City is a big city city, the city wall is open, and it is not a problem to run horses and cars.

The soldiers are fast, and the walls on three sides of Jinan City are crumbling, and there will be more danger if you delay for a quarter of an hour.

When the military order was issued, Chen Wang no longer delayed, waved his horsewhip, and galloped towards the west city of Jinan with his horse, and a group of cavalry followed and swept away.

In the urn city, the sound of horses' hooves rang out for a while, straight into the sky!

The red tide that poured in from the east city was divided into three, turning into three surging fire dragons, meandering towards the south, north and west of Jinan.

The flaming red flag swayed in the wind and snow, the wind and snow were like knives, and the sound of horses' hooves was like thunder.

The churning fire dragon jumped above the city wall of Jinan City, and the surging red tide swept over the city wall with the sound of the waves.

……

Jinan Xicheng, the Qing army's large array.

Tan Tai stared at the Tang Ma who was kneeling on the ground like chaff in front of him, his eyes flashing with fierce light, and his heart was full of killing intent.

The city of Jinan has been besieged for nine days, and during these nine days, they have been attacking the city day and night, and all efforts are aimed at breaking through the city of Jinan as soon as possible.

After nine days and nights of fierce fighting, the morale of the defenders in Jinan City has fallen to the bottom, and their mental and physical strength has reached the limit.

The defense line of Jinan City was crumbling, and it was only the last kick to the door.

But in the blink of an eye, everything was rewritten in this quarter of an hour.

Tan Tai looked up at the city tower in the east city of Jinan.

The city tower was all around, and the shouts of killing were full of sky.

The crimson banner is gradually filling the city walls of Jinan's Xicheng.

The sound of fire like thunder once again echoed above the city head of Jinan Xicheng.

Tan Tai pressed the knife on his waist with his hand, and his eyes were cold.

He already knew everything that was happening in the East City.

Although Haoge and Du Du sent soldiers and horses to aid Dongcheng at the first time, they were still a step too late after all.

When the soldiers and horses arrived at the gallop, the gate of Jinan Dongcheng had been closed again, and the Ming cavalry that appeared from the east had already entered Jinan City.

The situation on the battlefield has changed, and the Ming cavalry that entered the city quickly rushed to the aid of the cities after entering the city.

The soldiers who had managed to gain a firm foothold on the city wall were now driven off the city wall.

News of the setback of the offensive also came from the north and south.

There were about 3,000 Ming cavalry entering the city from the east of Jinan City, and 3,000 cavalry were nothing to face them on the plain.

But these 3,000 cavalry placed in the city of Jinan was a fatal blow to them.

Jinan, as the capital of Shandong, is the place where the political secretary is located, and the scale of the city is far greater than that of ordinary cities.

Originally, there were only two or three thousand weak soldiers in the city of Jinan, a few generals, and the civilian officials who commanded and commanded the city defense were almost no experience in battle formations, and they were still able to hold Jinan for nine days and nights.

Now there are 3,000 cavalry of the Ming Kingdom entering the city, and Jinan City is only afraid of ......

Tan Tai's expression was gloomy, and he didn't pay attention to the battle situation in Jinan City anymore, but turned his head to the northwest.

The plan to attack Jinan had failed, and Tan Tai was well aware of the current situation.

The Ming army in the northwest was nothing more than bait, like bait laid down by hunters in the mountains and forests to lure their prey.

Use the large army as a bait to lure their main forces to attack and disperse their forces.

The real goal is to make them take it lightly and focus most of their attention on the northwest and ignore the other directions.

And they did fall for the plan, most of their minds were concentrated on the Ming army that was menacing to aid Jinan in the northwest, and the other part of their minds were on Jinan City, and other places relaxed their vigilance

They didn't think that there might be enemy troops in other directions, and the scouts who were supposed to be scattered around the camp were also mostly transferred because of the tight battle to attack Jinan City.

The city of Jinan was surrounded by the weakest forces in the east, and this weakness was also seized by the Ming army.

The commanders of the Ming State have now achieved their goal - to send an elite army into the city of Jinan to assist in the defense.

"Mingjin, collect the troops."

Tan Tai raised the horsewhip he was holding in his right hand, and he did not give any more orders to attack, but directly gave the order for Ming Jin to withdraw his troops.

The Ming army was so fanfare that it did not hesitate to use the main force as bait to ensure the smooth implementation of the plan.

The Ming cavalry that entered the city were definitely selected elite soldiers, and the generals who led the troops were also the best among the Ming generals.

"Convey the news to General Fengyi that a 3,000-strong Ming elite cavalry broke through the camp east of Jinan and entered the city of Jinan, and our siege was frustrated......

Tan Tai clenched the whip tightly, and his joints were even white from the exertion.

He didn't want to admit defeat, but it was a fact of the fact that it wouldn't change because of his will.

entered Jinan City first, and the dream of plundering the assets of the Dewang Mansion was in vain.

After attacking Jinan for nine days and nights, the soldiers were lost but did not gain anything, and they even had to bear the responsibility.

To make matters worse, the city of Jinan was not captured, and the main responsibility should be Dorgon, who commanded the army.

But just a few days ago, Dolgon led two white flags to intercept the reinforcements of the Ming Kingdom, and it was he who commanded the army to attack Jinan.

He was also the one who was not wary of the Ming army's reinforcements coming suddenly from the east.

He was also the one who failed to break through Jinan City in time and allowed the Ming army to enter Jinan City, resulting in a failure......

No matter how many reasons he has, countless excuses, he loses if he loses, and if he doesn't succeed, he doesn't succeed.

The result is the most important thing, and the process is not important.

……

Dorgon stood on the lookout, frowning.

In the field of vision, the cavalry on the left and right flanks of the Ming army were scattered, isolating the battlefield.

The Ming army was retreating rapidly towards the camp in the north of the Qing River like a falling tide, and the artillery in the Ming army's array, which had been silent for a long time, roared again.

A series of cannonballs, galloping cavalry, hindered the pursuit of his army.

There was no warning of the Ming army's retreat, and everything happened in a blink of an eye.

Dolgon's brow furrowed, interrupted by a cacophony behind him.

When Dolgon looked behind him, three clouds of wolf smoke rose from the southeast direction of Jinan City, and his figure froze in place.

Looking at the three thick clouds of smoke and dust that accompanied the north wind, Dorgon's heart also fell to the bottom.

He didn't agree with Tan Tai to send a message with wolf smoke, it was definitely not Tan Tai who used wolf smoke, it would only be the Ming army, and Jinan would definitely change!

The wolf smoke fluttering above must be a signal from the Ming army.

The reason why the Ming army suddenly withdrew its troops to Luokou Town was precisely because they saw the three wolf smoke rising from Jinan.

Dolgon's face turned pale, how could he still not understand that this was the Ming army's plan to attack the west!

In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao attacked Zhang Xiu with a strategy of attacking the east and the west, but was recognized by Jia Xu and failed.

And there is no figure like Jia Xu on his side, and he has not been able to see through the plans of the Ming army.

"Sun Chuanting ......"

Dolgon's throat was slightly sweet, and he only felt something in his throat......

……

"Huainanzi Military Training":

"Therefore, the way of using soldiers, show it with softness and welcome it with rigidity, show it with weakness and multiply it by strength."

"For the sake of it, it should be opened, and the desire for the west will be shown to the east."
