Geng Zhongming's weak force alone could not stop Zhou Yuji's 20,000 cavalry. After being defeated, he fled north towards the main camp. Once he came to protect the main camp, he could also take advantage of the opportunity to join the troops to resist Huang Degong's troops.
Besides, Zhou Yuji led his troops straight to Qingzhou City. At this time, the city was in chaos and there were fighting figures everywhere, making it difficult to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy. It happened that Chang Yu and Li Shiyuan were chasing the Qing army and joined them at the north corner of the city. Chang Yu raised his hand and pointed to the east of the city. Ji Jike then led a group of troops to kill Lu Xing and break the siege of Lu Xing!
Chang Yu immediately teamed up with Zhou Yuji's troops to turn around and go straight to the Qing army camp in the north. The reason for this was to break the siege of Huang Degong. Over there, Dorgon's pro-army Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming were glad that King Sanshun had joined forces. He would definitely carry it. Can't live
Sure enough, Zhou Yuji's army turned around here, and the Qing army chasing Huang Degong over there hurriedly turned around and returned to the defense camp. Huang Degong, who had been chased by the Qing army to the Beiyang River and prepared to fight his last battle, crossed the river and walked away cursing.
The Qing army returned to the defense, and Chang Yu decisively raised money and retreated to Qingzhou City.
An hour ago, there was a loud killing sound outside Qingzhou City, with tens of thousands of Qing troops arrayed to attack the city, but now there were only debris on the ground and corpses strewn about, crackling from the fire.
Tens of thousands of Ming troops gathered in formation outside the north gate of the city. They faced off with the Qing troops ten miles away without dismounting their sabers or sheathing their swords. Both sides were filled with murderous intent but were very restrained.
The reason for this is because they are afraid of each other.
Chang Yu knew that even if he had the strength to rush over, he wouldn't be able to do anything to others, so it would be better to put on a show here and show off, at least with a slightly better momentum.
Dorgon was also not sure of victory. He suffered heavy losses in the previous siege of the city. He had no advantage in terms of military strength and was exhausted from several battles. If he continued to fight, he would not be able to gain any advantage. At least there was no hope of breaking the city. , then why bother to fight pointlessly with the Ming army.
Moreover, it was pitch dark and the situation was unclear. The Ming army that had just been repulsed was still wandering near the Beiyang River to the west of the camp. Who can guarantee that there are no ambushes elsewhere...
The camp cannot be lost, not at all.
Dorgon did not dare to use his troops at will at this time and did not have the strength to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop. Otherwise, how could he have swallowed his anger and faced the Ming army with big eyes and small eyes?
Life is like a war in a chess game. If you make a careless move, you will lose the whole game. Just now, the situation was very good. You can pick melons with just a glance. But in the blink of an eye, it becomes a mess. You can’t pick the melons and you are full of pricks. Dorgon Standing at the gate of the camp, his face was livid, looking at Qingzhou City in the distance, his eyes almost bursting with fire, and the generals around him also had sad faces.
"I am guilty of my humble position, please forgive my sins." Kong Youde knelt in front of the horse and lowered his head. One of the dignified three kings was actually just a slave of the Qing court. Previously, because of his small negligence, the Ming army took advantage of the loophole, which caused the butterfly The effect caused chaos in the northern war zone, and then the situation outside the West City worsened, leading to a complete defeat!
"Trash" Dorgon glared fiercely at Kong Youde who was kneeling on the ground, raised his whip and whipped it over. With a snap, there was a blood mark on Kong Youde's face, and he couldn't help but groan.
Dorgon still didn't understand his hatred and raised his whip again. Shang Kexi and Geng Zhongming hurriedly persuaded: "Your Majesty, the Ming army has always used cunning methods to do things... General Kong also tried his best."
The implication is that the guys didn't know enough about the enemy before and didn't know their true intentions. Kong Youde can't bear the blame alone, so that's pretty much it.
"I will remember this for you first, and I will deal with you when I get back." Duduo snorted coldly, turning to look at Dorgon: "Brother Fourteen, what should I do next? I can't keep staring at them here."
In order to prevent the Ming army from attacking again, Dorgon dispersed his troops around the camp, and deployed heavy troops in the south to confront the Ming army. But as Duduo said, this is not a long-term solution, and it cannot be wasted forever.
"We'll discuss it after withdrawing ten miles north," Dorgon gritted his teeth and looked at Qingzhou City and said bitterly.
Before dawn, the Qing army withdrew its camp to the bank of Beiyang River.
Under the Qingzhou City, gunpowder smoke filled the air. Chang Yu held Duan Wuhu's hand tightly with grief and indignation. This young and strong man who had followed him deep into the enemy's rear and experienced life and death now had several blood holes on his body, and blood foam was still spurting from his mouth. Holding the little eunuch's hand: "Factory, factory supervisor, I, I killed three, three Tatars, that's enough..."
"Not enough, not enough." Chang Yu gritted his teeth and shook his head: "When you get better, our family will accompany you to kill more..."
"Factory Supervisor, I, I know I can't survive," Duan Wuhu said, spitting blood again: "I still want to follow you..." He tilted his head and left!
Chang Yu looked at him blankly, his hands were trembling, and tears were slowly flowing down his face. Duan Wuhu was a member of Tengxiang Guards and a close subordinate of Cheng Ming. Everyone in the army knew that Cheng Ming had a good relationship with the little eunuch. This time he followed Chang Yu into sending troops. It was also Cheng Ming's intention that everyone should share the credit, but it didn't work out...
But apart from Cheng Ming's relationship, Duan Wuhu also had a deep personal relationship with the young eunuch. When they were in Taiyuan, the two of them lurked together and assassinated the young king Li Laiheng in the bandit camp. Despite their disparity in status, they formed a deep friendship. Comradeship.
Chang Yu is a person who values friendship and loyalty. When he first debuted in Taiyuan, he could not control his emotions and shouted that he would kill Li Zicheng and vowed not to take revenge until one of his subordinates died.
Now that he has matured, he won't yell so much, but the hatred in his heart is deeper, and he is even more sad about his brother's death!
"If the thieves are to be defeated, the Tartars will also be destroyed!"
Chang Yu stood up slowly while holding Duan Wuhu in his arms, looking due north, his eyes so cold that the air froze.
As the sky dawned, there were cheers all over the city of Qingzhou. Nearly ten thousand people who defended the city and countryside bravely looked at the Qing troops retreating north and wept with joy. Countless people died and shed blood and sweat to finally defend their homes.
The people in the city who had been shivering all night walked out of their homes and burst into tears when they heard the shouts. In Prince Heng's Mansion, Zhu Youdi rode out of the mansion and went straight to the north gate.
The north city gate has been opened. Jia Waixiong, Lao Jiu, Song Luoshu, and Song Luoyu stood in front of Chang Yu with blood stains on their bodies and tears on their faces, smiling stupidly.
"Okay, very good." Chang Yu walked up to a few people and patted Jia Waixiong and Lao Jiu on the shoulders. The two of them still giggled and couldn't speak. Seeing that Song Luoyu was injured again, he sighed: "Have you enjoyed yourself?"
Wow...Song Luoyu suddenly hugged Chang Yu and cried non-stop. Everyone was shocked, but Chang Yu was very calm and let him cry for a few times and patted his back gently: "It's almost done. If you keep doing this, someone will be holding a knife." coming".
Everyone laughed loudly, Song Luoyu also laughed through tears and punched Chang Yu very shyly. This girl was originally a tsundere, but she shocked the people around her. She actually dared to punch the dignified Governor of Dongchang. This ... Even Song Luoshu changed his face.
However, the young eunuch involved had no such awareness at all and said to everyone: "The entire army has contributed to this battle. Once the Tatars retreat, they will be rewarded based on their merits."
The soldiers cheered!
