When Wang Fuzhi saw Zhu Yuanzhang's face suddenly turned solemn, he said with some worry: "Your Majesty, what's wrong?".
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he ignored it. Instead, he observed for a while, then put down his telescope and said to Yang Qi beside him: "Immediately lead people to kill the thugs who are robbing the city gate. If possible, capture the leader for us." people."
After Yang Qi bowed in agreement, he rushed down with the tiger warriors.
After a while, there was a loud sound of killing outside the city.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the city for a while. Seeing that Yang Qi had controlled the situation, and seeing doubts on Wang Euzhi's face, he handed him the telescope in his hand and said, "Look, what's different about the soldiers outside the city?"
Wang Euzhi took the telescope respectfully and then looked outside the pass.
He looked at it for a while and couldn't see any problems.
Just when he was confused, Zhu Yuanzhang's voice suddenly sounded in his ears: "Pay attention to their appearance!"
After hearing this, Wang Euzhi observed carefully and discovered that most of the previous Jurchen soldiers were of medium build, with oval faces and round eyes, while the more than 3,000 people who rushed up later were tall and tall, with most of them having rectangular faces, slender eyes, and The eyes are close together.
He was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered the description of the Jurchens in the book. He immediately understood and exclaimed: "Were those who attacked the city earlier under the banner of the Han Army?"
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, "That's right. Originally, Han and Manchu costumes were different, so when the Han military flag men changed into Manchu military flag uniforms, we didn't notice it for a while."
"But we accidentally saw the appearance of the group of people attacking the city gate, and suddenly thought of it, we felt that something was wrong!"
Wang Fuzhi frowned and said: "This matter is indeed a bit strange. It is normal for the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty to attack the city. Why did Duduo let them wear the costumes of the Eight Banners?"
As he spoke, his expression suddenly changed: "Did Duduo know our plan to lure the enemy, so he used the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty as bait. After we fell into the trap, the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty suddenly came out to seize Shanhaiguan Pass?"
Zhu Yuanzhang also had this suspicion, but he thought that the matter was extremely secretive, and Duduo was not a smart person, so it should be impossible to detect it.
But he knew that Duduo had always been unruly and looked down on the Han people at all.
Especially since the stakes were so high this time, he would never abandon his own cavalry and lead a group of Han Eight Banners to attack the city.
From this point of view, Duduo's move may be a trick.
But according to Jinyiwei's information, Duduo only had more than 10,000 people on his trip. If he wanted to carry out this plan, where would he get the soldiers and horses from the Han Dynasty and the Eight Banners?
You must know that after Zhu Yuanzhang learned that Duduo was coming by sea, he secretly ordered the Jinyi Guards and the Tianjin Navy to monitor him.
According to Jin Yiwei's feedback, except for Zheng Hongkui's navy, there have been no other boats on the sea in the past few days.
"Is the information from Jinyiwei wrong, or is it that Duduo has no troops left, so he recruited the Eight Han Banners to make up the numbers?"
While Zhu Yuanzhang was deep in thought, Yang Qi and others escorted a bearded man up.
After Yang Qi saluted, he said with a respectful expression: "Your Majesty, the general has captured the leader. Please take action!"
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he glanced at Wang Huzhi, who immediately stepped forward and shouted: "Who are you and why do you want to help the Jurchens break through the barrier?"
Although the man was covered in blood, his expression was quite arrogant. He glanced at Wang Fu with disdain and then looked away.
When Yang Qi saw this, a look of embarrassment flashed across his face, and he immediately stepped forward to torture the man.
The man acted upright and upright at first, but when Yang Qi used the fifth punishment, he immediately told everything.
It turned out that after the Jurchens were defeated last time, Dorgon and Duoduo saw that Hauge not only lost his troops, but also many people in the army were infected with the plague, and their combat power was very weak, so they wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of Hauge.
However, due to the obstruction of Bumbutai and Daishan, and Hauge's desire to protect himself, he took the opportunity to spread the plague to Duduo's soldiers and horses, weakening their combat power, and they failed for a while.
After this incident, the Jurchens wanted to rest and recuperate, but unexpectedly Jierhalang invaded Yulin, and chaos ensued in Shaanxi and Shanxi.
Seeing this, Fan Wencheng thought it was a good time to enter the customs. However, because one-third of the Jurchen people were infected with the plague, their fighting strength was greatly reduced.
Before that, he proposed a plan to lure the enemy deeper.
At that time, Dorgon had the upper hand and did not agree with this matter, but Hauge and Daishan strongly agreed, and selected the elite to send troops at starry night.
Dorgon had no choice but to organize his army to fight.
However, due to insufficient numbers, they used the Eight Han Banners to confuse Wu Sangui and others.
Although Dorgon won the first battle, he left Wu Guogui and others. He felt that his fighting power was insufficient, so he made a false move, hoping to eliminate the effective forces in Shanhaiguan before seizing the pass.
However, Duduo felt that Dorgon was too timid and proposed to directly attack Shanhaiguan with elite troops.
After this suggestion was rejected by Dorgon, he took 5,000 Manchu Banners and 7,000 Han Banners by sea and lurked near Shanhaiguan.
Soon after they arrived, they received news from the spy that Gaudi intended to leave the city.
Duduo was overjoyed when he heard the news and immediately lurked down, waiting for Gao Di to leave the customs before seizing Shanhaiguan.
After Gaudi came out of seclusion, Duduo prepared to attack the city, but Nikan was worried that Gaudi would return for reinforcements and suggested that he first defeat Gaudi's troops and then attack the city.
Therefore, Duduo sent another 6,000 men to attack Gaodi. At the same time, he asked his Niulu Nalande to pretend to be a merchant and sneak into the pass with more than 100 people. When Duduo led his army to attack the city, he took advantage of the chaos to break out and open the gate. city gate......
After listening to Nalande's story, Zhu Yuanzhang understood why the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty appeared here.
But he still had doubts, because Duoduo had already used this trick before. With Duoergon's intelligence, how could he make the same mistake again.
"Did Dorgon think that Dodo's soldiers were worthy of Shanhaiguan, or was Dodo just a pebble asking for directions?"
"If Duduo is a stone, then where is Dorgon's army?"
"You must know that we have ordered Wang Shoulin to investigate all the way. Since he did not send a message, Dorgon's army is at least outside Ningyuan City. Even though one day has passed, Dorgon cannot arrive."
"Is Dorgon planning to abandon Duduo, or does he have other plans, but we didn't find out?"
Just when Zhu Yuanzhang was deep in thought, he heard Wang Euzhi shout: "Nalande, don't talk nonsense. If you don't tell the truth, I will skin you and stuff you with grass!"
As Wang Fuzhi finished speaking, Yang Qi deliberately looked bloodthirsty again.
When Narendra heard this, he was so frightened that he begged for mercy.
Seeing that Nalande's face turned pale with fright, Wang Fuzhi took the opportunity to ask for some details. Seeing that Nalande made no mistakes, he asked Yang Qi to escort him away. Then he looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said: "Your Majesty, it seems that Nalande is not No lie, shall we follow the plan and lure Duduo into the city?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was silent for a while, and then glanced at the Jurchen soldiers and horses outside the city whose momentum was gradually weakening.
He knew that the opponent had been fighting for a long time in vain, and had not received a response from the city, so he had lost his spirit.
If the city gate is not opened at this moment, Duduo may retreat, and then he will lose the opportunity to capture the opponent.
But because he hadn't figured out what happened to Dorgon, he was hesitant.
At this time, a heavy and rapid sound of horse hooves suddenly came from a distance, and even the earth was shaken.
