Wu Sangui and Tang Tong, the old partners at the top of the city, and Chang Yu sensed each other through the air, and they also deduced the same. They saw several groups of Qing troops running wild and clamoring outside the city, with a sneer on their faces. Yesterday, hundreds of Qing troops besieged Shoushan Fenghuo. In Taiwan, the Ming army quickly dispatched troops to intercept and kill them. They quickly rescued the garrison at Shoushan and took forty-three pills back to the city. The morale of the army rose to a small peak. They shouted at the top of their lungs to kill the Tatars and earn silver rewards.
Dorgon did not disappoint the three young eunuchs. Before noon, a large group of people poured out of the mountain pass, and then they continued to head south, and then gathered at the foot of the first mountain. Then more and more people and horses, and the colorful military flags were dazzling. , the noise could be heard clearly at the top of the city even five miles away.
Looking from afar, a group of people immediately reached the first mountain. It was speculated that Dorgon had climbed up to get a bird's eye view of Ningyuan City. In fact, he was no stranger to Ningyuan, so it was considered a return visit to his old place.
When old friends come to visit, they should sweep their couches to greet them. Unfortunately, Wu Sangui is not a hero on the dry road, so the greeting is rather special. Thousands of Qing soldiers hang all over the Ningyuan city wall, which looks like hanging pumpkins from a distance.
This scene completely angered the Qing troops outside the city. They circled the city shouting and cursing, shooting arrows from time to time. The Ming troops on the city also came and went without being polite. The meeting between the two sides was so lively.
Dorgon's face on the first mountain was livid as he watched this scene. Abatai beside him was gritting his teeth so hard that they almost broke, but Hauge, who was standing in the crowd behind him, had no expression on his face.
"Wu Sangui, that bitch must have deep intentions for doing this, and it's definitely not just to anger us." Azige's eyes were blazing, and he yelled at Ningyuan City down the mountain, "Wu Sangui, you are a bastard, I have to peel off your skin, and destroy all the women in your family." …”
Even the most rude, irritable and brainless Azig could see Wu Sangui's deep meaning, how could Dorgon not see it.
"Mr. Fan, what do you think?" Dorgon turned to look at a thin old man wrapped in a fur coat and being supported by two soldiers with a livid face. This man was Fan Wencheng, a counselor of the Qing Dynasty.
It can be said that the formulation of the Manchu Qing's basic principles and policies for seizing the Central Plains, as well as the prompting of the Qing army to set off, are all the work of this little old man. As early as a month ago, when he heard about the bandit army's eastern expedition, he had a plan to fight against the Ming Dynasty. , on the fourth day of April, Fan Wencheng wrote to the regent, asking him to immediately send troops to attack the Ming Dynasty and seize the world. Five days later, the regent Dorgon led the princes Duduo, Azige and other princes and ministers of the Eight Banners, commanding more than 100,000 Manchu, Mongolian and Han officers and soldiers, and the priests set off.
Historically, Dorgon received Wu Sangui's request for help five days after he sent troops. He learned that the city of Beijing had fallen into the hands of the thieves Li Zicheng. He hesitated for a while and did not know whether to advance or retreat. After all, they were rushing to seize the capital of the Ming Dynasty this time. There is no point in going after it has fallen into the hands of others. Secondly, the Qing army besieged the Ming capital three times but failed. The rebel army succeeded once, which shows that it is very powerful and worried that it will not be a match for others.
When he was hesitant, Dorgon immediately sent someone to fetch Fan Wencheng, who was raising troops in Gaizhou, for discussion. So Fan old man clapped his hands and decided to enter the country, and the Ming Dynasty changed hands.
Now, the direction of history has changed, but some things are still following the original trajectory. When Dorgon received Wu Sangui's letter begging for help a few days ago, although he ordered the Abate vanguard to come and contact him, he then changed direction and went to Ningyuan. Actually, he didn't know what he was doing, so he quickly sent someone to pick up Old Man Fan, who just arrived this morning.
"This is a desperate plan. Although Wu Gou can anger us and suppress our morale, it is also boosting our own morale, warning them that they can only survive by fighting bravely, because this inhumane method will make us crazy. It is absolutely unacceptable." We will bypass them!" Fan Wencheng said through gritted teeth while coughing.
Cruel, when did Wu Sangui become so ruthless, ruthless to his enemies as well as his own people! Dorgon looked at the tiny city in the distance, showing the king's contempt. Trench, ice city, artillery, more than ten years later, it was still the same old thing. It was just the same three things over and over again. There was still nothing new. The Ming Dynasty became more and more It's getting worse. I haven't made any progress in so many years. This time I will let you see what it means to level this small land.
"I guess I learned this trick from the little governor. It's similar to killing prisoners." Tang Tong looked at the string of heads at the top of the city and looked at Wu Sangui silently.
"No poison, no husband" Wu Sangui sneered, "Only when the soldiers know that there is no way out can they risk their lives. The little governor's methods sometimes seem inhumane, but they are very practical."
"General Wu seems to admire him more and more recently." Tang Tong chuckled.
"I only admire the strong"! Wu Sangui chuckled, pointed to the top of the mountain, and made a shooting gesture, "Within ten days, either you die or I live."
"Within ten days, either you die or I live." Dorgon on the top of the first mountain seemed to have a connection with Wu Sangui. He aimed at Ningyuan City with his hands like a bow and arrow and said fiercely.
Suddenly, Dorgon suddenly frowned and glanced from Ningyuan City to the mountains due west. His subordinates were unknown and asked him what was wrong.
Unable to explain, Dorgon shook his head. He suddenly felt a murderous aura bursting out from the mountain. Its power was like a rainbow, which was astonishing.
Some things are so mysterious that they can't be seen or touched but can be felt, such as a person's temperament, momentum, aura, and of course murderous intent.
In the observation post on the top of Shuangshan Cave, the young eunuch held up a telescope and looked at the group of people on the top of the first mountain. It was too far away to see clearly, but he knew that Dorgon was there, and the old and new hatreds would be resolved in ten days. , Chang Yu released his murderous intention at the moment when he gritted his teeth, but Dorgon sensed it.
Some Qi Qi had figured it out. The way Dorgon looked up, although he didn't see Chang Yu and Chang Yu didn't see him, he could feel his gaze.
No, the little eunuch quickly put away his murderous intention, thinking that such evil things really do exist in the world. It is incredible that there is such a connection between lovers, and that there is such full love between enemies.
"The killing intent is strong over there!" Jiang Fa muttered behind him, but he didn't know who he was talking about.
Chang Yu smiled, "There are hundreds of thousands of troops within a square inch, and all of them are eager to fight and eat their opponents alive, so their killing intent is naturally strong."
Boom, boom, boom, suddenly several loud noises were heard, which drew the confused Dorgon's eyes from Xishan back to Ningyuan City. The Ming army actually opened fire.
Wu Sangui has been on the battlefield for more than ten years and is an experienced general. Once he is determined to arm-wrestle with you, he will not give up any chance to defeat you. At the same time, he will also look for opportunities to create pressure and undermine the opponent's morale.
There were too many Qing soldiers and horses, and they gathered at the foot of Shou Mountain one after another. They arrived first to rest and recuperate on the spot. The slaves were busy setting up camp, and some of them were ordered to attack Ningyuan City.
The men and horses had just arrived and were unsteady on their feet. How could Wu Sangui let this small opportunity pass?
Immediately, he ordered to bombard the Qing troops outside the ditch in the north of the city. At the same time, the three gates in the southeast and west were opened, and thousands of troops came out to intercept and kill the Qing troops and horses under the city.
Ningyuan already has more than a dozen heavy artillery, plus the assistance of Shanhaiguan, and dozens of Zhankou generals from the Shenji Battalion, the firepower is extraordinary. If they blast together, they will be suppressed like a crushing force.
But at this time, it was impossible for Wu Sangui to invest so much in such a small formation. A few scattered artillery pieces suppressed the Qing army outside the trench in the north, and then sent troops to cover it up at the same time.
There were several trenches in the north of Ningyuan City. It was inconvenient for the Qing cavalry to pass through. At this time, they used artillery to block them. When the Ming army came out of the city to intercept and kill their colleagues, they were unable to rescue them for a while, so they could only watch helplessly as their colleagues fled in all directions.
