Chapter 41 Eight Gate Formations Break the Enemy's Ten Thousand Armies

Min Tian took the fragment of the Nine Dragons Cloud Map that Feng Chen told him, panicked into the military tent, and hurriedly explained the arrangement of troops to the soldiers. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info on the beacon tower of the city to set up troops to prepare to meet the enemy, only to hear someone shouting under the city wall, as soon as he looked down, he saw the reckless young Dolgon in the past, I haven't seen him for months, and he already has the appearance of some generals, but the mercy of the sky has become unrecognizable to Dolgon. Dolgon, riding on his horse with a broadsword, stood under the city wall and shouted: "Open the gates of the city quickly! "Min Tian climbed to the highest point of the beacon tower, looked into the past, and found a strange carriage not far away, the carriage was not ridden by the royal family, it was in tatters, and there were no wooden doors on all sides, only curtains floating on all sides.

Dolgon, who was standing under the castle, saw an arrow shot by the Mercy at a glance, and immediately went away, leaving the saddle with his right foot off the saddle and stepping lightly on the horse's back, and stepping on the horse's head with his left foot and rising into the air. Pin the broadsword behind your back and hold the hilt tightly with your right hand. Soon he caught up with the stray arrow, and with a flick of the broadsword, the arrow feather was cut in two. Min Tian laughed and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time, but my kung fu has improved." Standing in the distance, Dorgon continued to shout: "Open the city and surrender, but spare you from death, and the official position is still there." Yuan Chonghuan stood on the city wall and took out the surrender letter he wrote and threw it down the city: "If the general considers surrendering to my Daming, he can also protect you from death, and I, Yuan Chonghuan, swear to live and die with Ning Yuan." ”

I only heard the war drums behind me shocking, the battle flags were unfurled, and the dust was raised in the wind. Min Tianyi snatched the drum hammer and beat the drum to go out for the soldiers. I saw that the morale of the soldiers in the city was high, and at this time Feng Chen had been sent to Yuan Chonghuan's other garden to recuperate, and Min Tian also invited the best doctor in the city for him, because he had not seen the sun for a long time, so as soon as he walked out of the house, the dazzling light made Feng Chen's eyes bleed. The doctor hurriedly helped Feng Chen back to the bed and advised: "Childe can't get out of bed and walk around again, this eye can't be better without ten and a half months." Feng Chen smiled helplessly: "It's okay, I just want to listen to this drum outside." The doctor opened the window a small slit, squinted at the dust flying outside, and said, "It must be Lord Yuan who sent troops to meet the enemy." Feng Chen tilted his ears sideways, his eyes were tied with white gauze, and after listening carefully, he shook his head and said, "I haven't left the city to meet the enemy yet, but it's just to boost morale." ”

Yuan Chonghuan stood on the city wall and shouted: "The city is in the people, the city is dead!" The soldiers and people in the city shouted together: "The city is in the people, the city is dead!" The doctor standing in the other garden was frightened by the shouting outside, his legs weakened, and he trembled and said: "This is going out of the city!" Feng Chen sat on the bed and didn't move, listening carefully to the drums outside. The sound of the horn followed, and the beat of the drum was unruly, and the sound was deafening. Feng Chen nodded with satisfaction and said: "These eight formations are really mysterious, the eight gates are mutually reinforcing, no matter how you change the number of paths, you can resist the enemy thousands of miles away, and you can't let the enemy get close to our city." The doctor brought the decoction and medicine and said, "Son, it's time to drink the medicine, this city! Feng Chen smiled and shook his hand and said, "No need to escape, this city can be defended!" The doctor was a little happy when Feng Chen said this: "Childe should take care of his body first and then make plans! Feng Chen raised his head expressionlessly, wanting to try to meet the light, but the slightest light would make him sting. The doctor stood aside and quickly closed the window: "Childe's body is also soaked in the cold in the ice pool, so this cold can't be removed for a while, so he can only rely on the stove to keep warm." It's also strange to say, if you give it to an ordinary martial artist, I'm afraid you will already die at this time. After saying that, the doctor felt that he had said the wrong thing, and quickly covered his mouth.

As soon as the horn fell, the Eight Banners swarmed up and began to fight with the Ming soldiers in the Eight Gate Formation. But the formation of the Ming soldiers is ever-changing, and it is true that those Eight Banners soldiers are trapped in the formation, but there are a lot of injuries on both sides, watching the Eight Banners disciples are as ferocious as tigers descending from the mountain, but those soldiers and people who defend the city are so demoralized that some don't even wear the armor on their bodies, and go into battle shirtless. Min Tian stood on the beacon tower and beat the war drums to arrange the troops. I saw that Dolgon had withdrawn to the carriage behind the Eight Banners, and he was talking to the people inside next to the carriage. As soon as the mind was confused, the drum beat was a little disordered. Feng Chen sat in the courtyard and already heard it, and hurriedly ordered the doctor to get a pen and paper and said, "I will write a letter, please give it to the inspector for me." The doctor helped the dust to the table, spread the paper and grind the ink. It was soon written, and the doctor hurried up to the castle. Min Tian opened the letter and looked at it, and there were only four words written on it: 'Red Cannon'.

Min Tian jumped off the high platform, turned to the soldiers behind him and said, "Carry the cannon up the city wall, and set up a fort every twenty zhang." Yuan Chonghuan followed closely and followed the soldiers down the city wall to carry the cannons. only heard the sound of the cannon, which frightened those Eight Banners disciples into confusion. Every shell exploded around the Eight Banners, and soon their attack was disrupted, and Dolgon was helpless to retreat. The fierce battle did not end in a moment and a half, and lasted until sunset. The soldiers above and below the city wall were extremely excited, and they began to cheer the victory of defending the city.

This situation lasted for two days and three days, and every day the dust would be sealed as the day before, sitting by the window with his back to the window and listening to the drums outside. The corners of his mouth smiled silently, but he never said a word, and he had never gone down to the city wall in the past few days, eating and sleeping with the Ming soldiers. Dolgon has also changed his methods to prepare for a sneak attack in the past few days, but since the city wall of Ningyuan City has been built, it has become more and more difficult to overcome, and there is no weakness. The impregnable Ningyuan City, so that Dolgon was a little clueless, and for a time the good news spread to the capital, Emperor Ming praised Yuan Chonghuan and Mintian for their meritorious work, and they had already begun to reward their meritorious deeds. At the same time, Shengjing's side saw that Dolgon had not made any breakthrough, so he had to order the class to return to the court first.

Before leaving, Dorgon took the golden bow and arrow, stretched the phoenix feather on the string, inserted the surrender book into the arrow, and shot an arrow on the drumstick of the heavenly drum where the sky was located, and the last drum fell. Min Tian's wrist was bruised by the huge arrow power, and he took Feng Yuling and said, "Okay! I'll wait for you!"
