Azig has always been known for his brutality and violent temper, and he will kill anyone who disagrees with you. At this time, he ordered the city to be breached before midnight. His subordinates did not dare to be careless. At the same time, he ordered his troops to rest and reorganize. The deputy general led more than a hundred troops to Xianghe City to prepare for surrender.
At this time, Azig was committing violence in a nearby village.
Xianghe City is small, with only a few hundred households, but there are dense villages along the river outside the city. However, it is regrettable that these people obviously do not know that a disaster is approaching.
In ancient times, news was closed, and they didn't even know the news of the Tatars entering the customs. They would never have thought that the Qing army would suddenly arrive in front of them. Some people had not even figured out whether these fierce men riding on tall horses were officers and soldiers or bandits. The head was chopped off.
The Qing army's Tanma plundered and killed wildly along the river, finally alarming Xianghe City, and quickly closed the city gate. Just as the Qing army expected, there were really no guards in the city, only the county magistrate with a patrol and more than a hundred Xiang Yong went up to the top of the city and took a look. He was shocked. They must be rogues, most likely the men of the intruders.
After all, some time ago, the officers and soldiers and the bandits fought hard in Baoding Prefecture for more than a month, but some rogue bandits came here if they could not keep it together.
But, sir, look, that thief doesn’t seem to be...
Hey, the experienced old man finally saw it clearly, and his eyes almost popped out: Tatars, Tatars, Tatars are coming, why are the Tatars coming?
The eldest man suddenly ran around the city as if he had been stung by a scorpion. The people next to him turned pale with fright: "Tatars, how could they be Tatars? Didn't you miss me, eldest man?"
"How could I..." Before the elder could finish his sentence, a sharp arrow pierced his throat and he fell to death. Everyone looked at the horses outside the city in shock. The Qing soldiers on the horses were laughing and bowing hard. Suddenly, several more people in the city were shot and killed. Only then did the remaining people react and run around in panic to escape.
The Qing army spies below the city laughed even more happily. This kind of rabble really didn't need a large army to surround the city. After a little intimidation, they would obediently surrender and open the city gate with both hands.
When it was getting dark, the deputy general led more than a hundred Qing troops to the city and hit the city tower with an arrow. The plaque said: "Open the door and surrender within a stick of incense, otherwise no chickens or dogs will be left after the city is broken."
The people in the city were shocked. The county prince was killed and they were left without a leader. They had to gather around a few highly respected squires to ask for advice. However, being highly respected did not matter. The Tatars' swords and arrows were not immune to this. If you open the door, you will die, and if you don't open it, you will die!
"There's a fight outside, there's a fight..." When they were panicking, someone in the city shouted, and everyone looked stunned. Who was fighting with whom? Damn it, it's possible that the Tatars were about to attack the city... Immediately I heard the sound of crying father calling mother in the city.
There was a real fighting outside the city, but it was not the Qing army attacking the city.
It is said that when the deputy general was showing off his power outside the city and intimidating the people in the city to surrender, a spy horse suddenly came to report that they were attacked by unidentified riders five miles south of the city, killing more than ten people!
What the hell! With the Qing Army Tan Ma's strong individual combat effectiveness, more than ten people would be killed or injured. The opponent was by no means an ordinary person. Who could it be? Is it the rebel army that brings disaster to the country and the people but is able to withstand external humiliation? Or is it something else?
But no matter who it is, it can’t be the Ming Army.
The deputy general had doubts and led his team to check it out. He saw more than ten corpses of Qing army detectives lying on the ground. Most of them had been shot. Only then did he feel relieved. This was caused by a sneak attack. If they had to fight face to face, they would kill them in one fell swoop. To defeat more than ten Qing troops, the opponent must have at least dozens or hundreds to be able to do so!
This is the arrow of the Ming army! Soon the Qing army discovered the clues. These arrows were all standard weapons of the Ming Dynasty and belonged to the army. In other words, these spies were attacked and killed by the Ming army!
Ming army, how come there is Ming army here? The deputy general frowned, feeling slightly panicked. He glanced around. It was already dark and it was difficult to reach the distance. He suddenly felt horrified and panicked.
Go quickly and report to the prince. The deputy general gave an explanation. Suddenly, the lights in the south were lit up and the sound of killing was loud. He was suddenly shocked. The Ming army was coming to kill!
Seeing the flashing fire and the numerous figures, the deputy general did not know the strength of the Ming army and did not dare to fight, so he ordered the troops to retreat. This was the first time that the Qing army retreated without a fight after entering the pass.
The Qing army retreated like a torrent. Soon the Ming army arrived, but there were less than a hundred people. However, almost everyone held more than two torches in their hands. It turned out to be just a bluff.
Boss Hu, are these dog Tatars scared away by us killing them outside the customs? A strong man looked at the burly leader in front and said with a smile.
The title "Boss Hu" is too quackish, and it sounds like he is either a traitor or a thief. Yes, it is true!
This person's name was Hu Yancheng. He was originally a thief. He later surrendered to Li Yan and served as the scout commander, responsible for investigating the military situation in the Xianghe area. In fact, Azige's men had been discovered by him when they entered the country at dusk.
So one side sent people to inform Li Yan, and the other side closely followed the movements of the Qing army and at the same time notified the people in the villages in the south of the city to evacuate quickly. I thought that the Qing army would not rush to take action, but they wanted to wait and see for a while and then felt bad, fearing that Li Yan Yan's troops arrived and Xianghe City was about to be breached...
In a hurry, Hu Yancheng decided to take a gamble. Seeing that the Qing army only numbered a hundred, he wanted to scare the people in the city into surrendering, so he wanted to scare them too, so he put on a show, and he really scared the Qing army away.
It has to be said that Hu Yancheng was unlucky. If he had been like before, he would have been involved in a fierce battle with the Qing army. Facing the powerful Qing army cavalry, he would have shed his skin even if he did not die. But at this time, the Qing army was so easy The main reason why they were scared away was that the shadow cast on Chang Yu was too heavy. In addition, Dorgon also ordered not to start a war easily, and they really didn’t know their depth, because no one could have imagined that a Ming army could emerge from here. ...No one dares to start a fight easily. It’s not like there is a large army on the side. You let me have more than a hundred people to test the water. Sorry, let’s forget it.
We are under the command of General Li of the righteous army. When the Tatar troops approach the city, you do not need to panic, let alone open the city and surrender. The Tatars are extremely ferocious and will not leave any dogs or chickens when they enter the city. General Li and other soldiers and horses are on the left and right to ensure the peace of Xianghe River. Hu When Yancheng arrived at the city, he ordered his men to go around the city to spread the word. For a while, the people in the city were talking in surprise and joy. Soon the Ming army fled, and the surrounding area outside the city fell into darkness again. The people were still terrified!
It's good to have officers and soldiers to protect us, but how can the officers and soldiers beat the Tatars? If they protect us even if they can't protect themselves, will the Qing army be even more agitated and massacre the city in a fit of anger... And that righteous army Li What kind of onion is the general? I have never heard of him.
While the people here in Xianghe City were panicking, Azig, whose legs were a little weak after venting his animal desires ten miles away, had a look of horror on his face. Ming Army? He grabbed the deputy general by the collar and asked, "Where did the Ming army come from?"
"Your Majesty, this servant doesn't know." The lieutenant general was very frightened and feared that Azig would chop him down accidentally.
"Did you make a mistake and mistook the thieves for the Ming army?" Azige let go of him, still full of disbelief. Xianghe is a small town, and there are no Ming troops from major military towns around it. To the north, The Ming army will always spread its wings and fly over, but even if it can fly, it is impossible to get ahead of them.
"My lord, those arrows are all of the Ming army's standard... Besides, what bandits dare to attack the Qing army..."
Azig frowned and looked at the dark night sky, feeling a little scared in his heart. This Ming army came out of nowhere. After a moment of silence, someone quickly sent a message to Dorgon behind him, and at the same time ordered Tan Ma Scout around and head south.
