Chapter 223: Chongzhen Enters the Nine Gates (Three Watches)
Next, Leng Yundeng, Lu Mingzhang, and Ma Xingquan began to organize their subordinates to act, and Wang Chengen and Liu Chongxi organized people to cooperate with them to stage a collective capture drama.
However, this play is easy to perform, originally 20,000 Xiangyong were ambushed, but now they only need to fake the play and sing it.
The two sides each rushed together with knives and guns, shouting and screaming, scolding with knives and guns, playing fake wrestling and fake screams, etc., and then Liu Chongxi's men and horses shouted "Those who surrender will not die", and the villagers abandoned their weapons and surrendered one after another, which is the end of the play.
In order to play the truth, the three generals Leng Yundeng threw knives and guns and ordered someone to tie them up, and the other townsmen were not tied, but they were all disarmed.
Then Chongzhen's 4,000 men and horses simply cleaned the battlefield, and Xiang Yong was already killed or wounded, leaving some blood stains and corpses, and escorted 20,000 prisoners back to the division of Hongwadian, and ended the battle in just over half an hour.
After Chongzhen and the others left, sure enough, the night of the Dashun army did not collect the battle situation here and reported the battle situation to Liu Zongmin.
"Master Hou, after Wu Sangui's men and horses retreated, they were ambushed by our army."
"Our army?" Liu Zongmin's big eyes like buns glared, "Whose people?"
"Back to the Hou Ye, looking at the banners Tang Tong and Bai Guangen, it should be the men and horses of these two general soldiers."
"Well, it seems that sometimes this general can do something right, huh?" Liu Zongmin's exaggerated expression caused Li You, Xin Sizhong and other generals to laugh.
Liu Zongmin has always been not optimistic about these two generals, especially the last time Li Zicheng ordered the two of them to send troops to Shanhaiguan to intercept and kill Wu Sangui, they were both defeated, thinking that they were rice buckets.
Today, there was a surprise attack to intercept and kill Wu Sangui's retreating division, and Liu Zongmin had to joke at them.
Gu Kecheng said: "Wu Sangui's people are also unlucky enough, a group of rabble, we were defeated, and they were ambushed by Tang Tong and Bai Guangen, and the whole army was annihilated."
Dang Shousu said: "This can be regarded as a dismount for Wu Sangui, King Chuang spent a lot of money in order to recruit this thief, and he made a wish to seal the official, and he gave silver and food, and he was benevolent and righteous, but this little obsession did not understand."
Liu Zongmin was proud with disdain, "King Chuang is sometimes too merciful, Wu Sangui doesn't even want his own father, what's the use of recruiting him like this? Is there no one in our Dashun army?"
"What Master Hou said is also true, Cheng Sangui is not human......
These generals complimented Liu Zongmin one after another, and they all scolded Wu Sangui.
Liu Zongmin asked if he didn't accept it at night, "Where is King Chuang now?"
"Back to the Hou Ye, it's already rich."
Liu Zongmin nodded, the first battle was won, Wu Sangui's men and horses were vulnerable, and he immediately said to his opponent: "Command the three armies, set up camps, and kill Benshan Customs day and night."
"Yes!" ……
Chongzhen led an army of 4,000 and 20,000 prisoners, and returned to the small mountain village of Hongwadian in an hour.
Hearing that there was going to be a war here, the inhabitants around the village had already run out.
More than 20,000 horses are temporarily resting here.
At this time, someone came to report that Chongzhen's second and third battalions of the Tianxiong New Army had successfully taken over a piece of Shiguan City.
Chongzhen was very happy, this chain of plans could only go so smoothly, Li Zicheng, Liu Zongmin and Wu Sangui were connected without knowing it.
Time is pressing, so as not to have too many dreams at night.
Chongzhen immediately passed the decree, waved his army to the north to enter the customs, and stationed in a stone!
Wang Chengen and Liu Chongxi heard the order.
It was only thirty miles from the red tile shop to a Shiguan city, and the march of the large army was only about half an hour at most.
Just under the noses of Wu Sangui and their people in Shanhaiguan, Chongzhen's team swaggered, and the red tile shop opened into a Shiguan City.
On the way, Liu Chongxi led 4,000 soldiers to march on the periphery, plus 6,000 men and horses from the second battalion and the third battalion who went out of the pass to greet them, and 20,000 township brave prisoners were sandwiched in the middle of the team.
Therefore, after Wu Sangui withdrew his troops from the Nine Gates, he did not have the slightest suspicion that Chongzhen's tens of thousands of people had entered the customs.
After Chongzhen was welcomed into the city by the stars, Wang Chengen, Han Yin, Liu Chongxi, Li Meng, Zhou Qing and others breathed a sigh of relief.
Even Leng Yundeng, who is still in the dark, and other 20,000 villagers are very happy, after all, the escort is meritorious, and the escort in the image of the emperor's prisoner can also be regarded as an escort!
Since ancient times, there has been no higher merit than saving the driver, and there is no more ruthlessness than starvation. With the emperor, being a captive is also a matter of honoring the ancestors, because this is ordered to be a prisoner~!
But then they are still prisoners, Leng Yundeng and other soldiers are a little puzzled, when will this play be played?
Fifty or sixty miles along the way, I have been acting as a prisoner for fear that the thieves will know the inside story, but shouldn't I be a soldier who is officially escorted when I get to the pass?
But no one untied it, could it be that the emperor forgot it?
Moreover, Wu Sangui and Gao Di did not come to take over, these generals were a little uneasy, and Leng Yundeng wanted to see the emperor.
But
"Is the emperor waiting to see him?!"
Wang Chengen glared at him, and sent Li Meng's battalion of men to lock him up first, and no longer pay attention to them......
Chongzhen, dressed in the costume of the Ming Emperor, ascended to the Guancheng, full of ambition, climbed high and looked at the inside and outside of the Great Wall, the northwest mountain range stretches endlessly, the southeast sea is endless, the Shanhaiguan at the southeast thirty miles is in sight, the tiger is standing on the dragon plate, proud of the world.
The scenery inside and outside the gate is in full view, and Chongzhen is proud to see it.
The two capitals lock the moon and the unparalleled land, the first pass of the Great Wall!
This Shanhaiguan is worthy of the title of the first pass in the world. If Shanhaiguan is a lock, then a stone is the key, and now I have easily obtained this key, and the master of this battle is, of course, me!
Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty Chongzhen
