Seeing that this group of people was getting closer and closer, only two miles away from the entrance of the valley but showing no signs of stopping, everyone became nervous.
"Supervisor, let's destroy it!" Tu Yuan saw that the opponent only had more than fifty riders, so he had an idea. He reached out to summon Kuang Ren and asked him to call in his subordinates. He used fifty sharp archers to make a surprise attack and kill these people. It is not difficult to support people.
Chang Yu grabbed Kuang Ren who was about to mobilize people, stared at the group of cavalry and shook his head gently, "If you kill this group of cavalry, your whereabouts will be exposed. This group of people is not like a probing horse. There can be at most twenty people per probing horse." .
If the Tan Ma were killed, it would be normal for them to go out to collect intelligence and not return to the camp for a few days. Therefore, the group of Tan Ma killed in Mohu Mountain had not yet attracted the attention of the Qing army, otherwise Abatai and Hauge would have smelled something. .
But this group of people were obviously out to show off. If they didn't return to the camp for an hour at most, they would attract attention. What's more, there were other patrol posts around the camp during the day. Exposed, all planning was in vain.
Two miles passed in a blink of an eye, and a Qing army squad of more than fifty people rode their horses through the snow and headed straight for the entrance of the valley. The people on the horses were not making all kinds of shouts, sometimes like croaking, like beasts roaring, sometimes laughing loudly, They had no idea that there were four or five Ming soldiers nesting in the weeds 200 meters away from them.
Tu Yuan and Jia Waixiong were a little out of control, and whispered in the little eunuch's ears, "Let's do it, let's do it..."
Chang Yu stared at the group of people. There were more rocks and thorns at the entrance of the valley. They slowed down a bit. They were lingering at the entrance of the valley talking about something, as if they were discussing whether to enter the valley.
Don't come, don't come, Chang Yu secretly prayed. He didn't want to lose a big deal for a small sum, but if these people really entered the valley, they would have to shoot them to hide their tracks.
So he secretly ordered Kuang Ren to return to the valley and let his men prepare for an ambush.
The Qing army team finally decided to enter the valley. The group of people rode slowly closer and closer. The distance of tens of meters allowed Chang Yu and others who were lurking in the grass to see each other's faces clearly.
"I feel like he should be a little boss, look at how powerful he is." Li Tiezhu glanced at a young strong man in the team with a look of disdain on his face.
That's why he couldn't kill, but it seemed he had to kill. Chang Yu sighed and ordered Tu Yuan and others to prepare. Once this group of people enters the valley, they will be shot by Kuang Ren's men. They will immediately cut off and block the entrance of the valley. Don't let anyone go.
Fifty meters, thirty meters, twenty meters, ten meters... These Qing troops were right in front of them, laughing and looking around for traces of prey at the entrance of the valley, but they didn't know that the weeds at the edge of the valley were more than ten meters away from them. Hidden in the snow cave were several Ming soldiers who were full of murderous intent but did not dare to take a breath.
Suddenly, this group of Qing soldiers who were only one step away from the mouth of the valley raised their eyes and looked eastward, then immediately rode straight to the east.
Huh... the little eunuchs took a long breath. They were so nervous that their palms were sweating.
"Damn, you escaped!" Chang Yu muttered, but he didn't know who he was talking about, this Qing army team or them.
But when he saw the young leader again a few days later, he immediately slapped himself several times. Wu Sangui and Tang Tong were so shocked that they didn't know what was going on with him.
If Chang Yu knew at this time that the little leader in front of him was the famous general Nikan in the Qing army, of course he would go crazy and kill him frantically. Killing one general is comparable to thousands of troops!
The only reason why Nikan escaped under his nose was because they were ignorant. Even if Wu Sangui's family general Wu Zhao was around at this time, he could guess from the military uniform that this Qing army leader had a great background.
It's a pity that the young eunuch and these confidants have never interacted with the Qing army.
It is a pity that Wu Zhao is lurking in the valley at this time.
It's a pity that Nikan, the big fish, slipped away right under his nose.
The embarrassing thing is that the little eunuch is still glad that he is gone.
Seeing the Qing army team suddenly leaving in front of them, the young eunuch and others breathed a sigh of relief, but then they were curious about what seduced them away.
With a glance, Jia Waixiong burrowed out of the valley mouth among the weeds, then hid behind a rock and stuck his head out to look east. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and then returned to Chang Yu: "Supervisor, Qing Army Brigade The troops have returned to camp.”
It seems that Wu Sangui didn't find the right time. Chang Yu frowned and thought for a while, then looked up at the sky. The sun was looming among the clouds, and it was almost noon.
A few people sneaked back into the valley, and the soldiers were eating. The dry food was mixed with snow. Whoever eats it knows the taste.
Marching and fighting is not as comfortable as going out and hunting. It is common to eat and sleep in the open. If an army can't even endure this kind of hardship, how can we expect them to fight a tough battle? What's more, they are performing an extremely important task at this time.
Now is the time to hone these royal soldiers who are used to being carefree and let them know what is a real soldier and what is a real war.
Chang Yu and several of his confidants hid in a rock crack to take shelter from the wind. After a secret discussion, they immediately sent people back to Ningyuan City to report to Wu Sangui. In the afternoon, they looked for an opportunity to provoke Abatai into action. If there was really no chance, they would attack the camp at night!
Otherwise, it will be even more difficult after tonight.
Firstly, the soldiers' rations and the severe cold environment made it difficult to last one more night. Secondly, Dorgon's army was getting closer and closer, and they might reach the ground at any time. If they didn't take action, they might not have the chance.
After noon, Wu Sangui, who was discussing matters with Tang Tong after tea and dinner in the General Military Mansion, began to look solemn after receiving a message from Chang Yu.
It would be best to let them all go out and attack front and back in the valley. Secondly, the Qing army sends out half the battalion. Once the rest of the camp starts to rescue, Chang Yu will attack from the side.
Although the little eunuch lightly asked him to look for an opportunity to anger Abatai, this so-called "opportunity" was actually to kill Luo Luohun!
Killing Luo Luohun can indeed anger Abatai, but will he really immediately send troops to avenge Ronaldinho when angered? After hearing the news that Ronaldinho was killed, although it would anger him, it also sounded a warning to him. Mingjun must have something in mind!
Maybe he would wait for a few days to wait for Dorgon's army to arrive before sending troops to besiege the city.
It seems that this "seeking opportunity" is not a good move, and may backfire, causing the Qing army to be more vigilant.
However, the current situation is as serious as the little eunuch said. The ambush cannot last too long. Dorgon's main army is getting closer and closer, and the situation is imminent!
Wu Sangui was a little anxious. Tang Tong was his deputy. I would do whatever you asked me to do. But the most I could do was give suggestions. Although the little eunuch had the right to make decisions, he was lurking in the wild valley, passing on messages one after another. It's a waste of time. They don't have that much time to waste. It's up to him to decide what happens now.
Just when Wu Sangui was unsure, someone came to report that a cavalry force of about 4,000 people had come out of Shanhaiguan and was approaching the central rear post.
Whose troops? Wu Sangui and Tang Tong looked puzzled.
"It looks like soldiers, like bandits, like civilians, like thieves. I can't see why. I ask forward, but I can't explain clearly. I just say that the governor will come to support Ningyuan tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, Wu Sangui and Tang Tong suddenly realized that it was him who was here.
"General Tang, there are spectators here now. It would be embarrassing if we failed in this play!" Wu Sangui smiled bitterly.
Tang Tong also had a wry smile on his face, "Then try your best to sing this great drama and make it more lively so that the guests can enjoy themselves."
Big drama? Wu Sangui raised his eyebrows at first, then relaxed them, with a sneer on his face: "Then go big!"
