Chapter 54 Sleep well

. Hearing this shout, everyone in the Tianzhu Army was confused. Many people looked in the direction of Shang Kexi just now, but they saw that Shang Kexi was indeed missing. They immediately panic spread like a plague. They no longer had to worry about attacking and retreated desperately. The Ming army cannons on the mountain did not want to let them go. Huge shells roared down and landed in the retreating Tianzhu Army, with flesh and blood rolling together.

Seeing Tianzhujun retreating, Duoduo looked at his face: "Sukesah, the army is silent and retreating, what should he be guilty?"

"Go back to the prince, behead!"

"Okay, it's up to you to execute!"

"Yes, Prince!" Suksaha waved his hand, and countless archers stepped forward, looking at the Tianzhu army who had just retreated, and gave a cold order: "Shoot!"

With a loud noise, countless rains of arrows flew towards the Tianzhu army, who had just escaped from the Ming army's artillery attack range. The Tianzhu army suddenly rushed to the ground like grass and died.

"Give me your life, spare me your life."

"Ah, damn Tartars, I'm fighting with you."

"Dog Tartar, I have no credit and hard work. If you treat this, you will die sooner or later. Grandpa is waiting for you in the underworld."

Whether it was cursing or begging for mercy, it was useless. The archers arranged by Manren behind were nailed there like wooden stakes. Whenever Tianzhu Army entered the range, they would bend their bows and arrows without hesitation. As a result, some people had to rush forward again, while some people wanted to fight with the archers on Manren. After repeated plays, more than three thousand days of the archers melted like ice and snow. In the end, no one standing Tianzhu Army could be found on the battlefield. Except for the occasional wailing of one or two war horses, the entire battlefield calmed down.

The Manchu and Mongolian coalition forces below did not have any pity for the dead Tianzhu Army. What they cared about was that Tianzhu Army had failed. Who should be the next turn to attack? Several Mongolian Taiji were even more uneasy, fearing that Duoduo would be regarded as cannon fodder like Tianzhu Army.

I was really afraid of anything. Duoduo turned his face on the generals and said, "Badali, Budaqi, Menggun and others immediately led their troops to attack the mountain. The drums kept ringing. No retreating was allowed."

The three people in the place where Duoduo ordered were Mongolian princes. Badali was the nephew of the current empress dowager. He was named Prince Tu Xietu. However, Dorgon is currently in power. Of course, Prince Xietu, a scholar, will be under the jurisdiction of Prince Yu. Although the three of them were reluctant, they dared not to obey. They all bowed their heads and responded: "Yes!"

"Kill!" Countless Mongolians jumped on horses and raised their swords and rushed towards the Ming army's front. Just now, there was another roar on the battlefield in a quiet manner. The Ming army and the cannons roared.

The attacks of the Manchu and Mongolian coalition forces have not stopped for a whole day. First, there were Mongolian troops, then two blue flags and two yellow flags took turns to go up. Only two white flags and two red flags have not been dispatched. Under the desperate attack of the Manchu and Mongolian coalition forces, they once broke through several gaps in the fence and rushed towards the Ming army in the trench. Just when these Manchu and Mongolian coalition forces thought that the Ming army was about to drink hatred under their swords, countless subway bumps like raindrops flew towards them. After a shocking explosion, most of the Qing army was killed and injured.

The Manchu and Mongolian coalition once suffered from the Ming army's grenades under the city of Xuzhou. However, the grenade hands had just been produced at that time. The quantity was not large. Huang Degong was only used in crisis. The Qing army did not pay much attention to grenades. It thought it could be used when defending the city. Today, hundreds or thousands of grenades still came out of the trench at the same time. However, it caused the Qing army to suffer a great loss.

When the sky became dark, Duoduo had to order his troops to retreat. Although the land attack today was very casualties, Duoduo still saw a glimmer of hope. After all, it took a lot of effort. They still broke through the fence outside. As long as they used up the Ming army's things that could be thrown out of their hands and exploded. Duoduo did not believe that a few trenches could block his tens of thousands of elite cavalry.

After a day of fighting, both armies calmed down. Except for the soldiers who were on duty, most of them had already rested. The night wind blew, the bonfire swayed, and rustled. At this moment, a slight sound suddenly came from the middle of the positions of the two armies, and several dead bodies on the ground moved. If someone saw it, they would definitely scream immediately.

"Brother Sun!"

"Old Zhang!"

"Old Zhao!"

"Old money!"

"Thank God, everyone is here." One person took a long breath, and then four black shadows quickly approached.

"Brother Sun, if you have finished helping the army today, even the prince is dead, what should we do?"

"Yes, what should I do? Or, let's sneak away?"

Brother Sun's voice sounded: "No, we are stuck in the middle of tens of thousands of troops on both sides. Don't talk about what we can do if we slip away. If we are accidentally revealed, we will not be able to escape even if we want to."

"Brother Sun, is there only one way to die? I'm not willing to give up."

"Yes, I'm not willing to accept it. Mom, these dogs and Tartars, without our God-supporting army, how could these dogs and Tartars capture so many cities? Now they turn against each other, treat us as abandoned children, and force us to die. Sooner or later, these dogs and Tartars will die well."

"I think it's almost done. The Tartars don't have much food and supplies. There are strong troops in front of them blocking the way and pursuers behind them. If one is bad, the entire army will be wiped out." When talking about the Tartars' situation, the few people couldn't help but feel a little happy, and a little pleasure came to their hearts, but it didn't help their situation. After a while, everyone's voices fell silent.

"Lao Qian, Lao Zhang, Lao Zhao, I have an idea, I don't know if it's OK? This idea is risky. If you bet correctly, we will be out of danger. If you bet wrong, we may be seeking death."

"Brother Sun, tell me."

"Yes, Brother Sun, there is no way out anyway, so what are the risks? "

"Okay, then I'll say that we will definitely be dead when we go back to the Tartars. However, if we surrender to the Ming Dynasty and exchange the Tartars' intelligence, we might be able to save our lives."

After another silence, a voice gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, gamble, Brother Sun, I will take the lead first. If the Ming Dynasty can accept surrender, you will come out again. If I die, everyone will find another way?"

"Old Zhang, no, I actually proposed this idea, so I should go," said Brother Sun in his voice.

"No, I'll go." Lao Zhang refused to give in.

"Okay, I don't want to fight anymore. We have already vowed to live and die together, to go together, and to die together."

"Yes, I'm going to die together." The four of them were excited and their voices suddenly became louder.

A sentinel of the Yulin Guard pushed his companion: "Listen, is there a sound in front of you?"

The companion pricked up his ears and listened, "No, did you hear it wrong? There are dead people in the middle, where did the things come from?"

Hearing the dead, the sentry felt relieved and stopped asking. But after a while, a rustling sound came to his ears. He quickly pushed his companion, and at this time, his companion also heard the sound. With a bang, he picked up the flint rifle in his hand and shouted: "Who is it?"

The Yulinwei didn't expect anyone to ask questions and answer questions, but he just asked subconsciously. Unexpectedly, an echo soon appeared in the darkness: "Don't shoot, we are also Han people, and we have important information to report."

Brother Sun did not say that he surrendered, but instead said that he had important information. He was much more clever, at least he didn't have to worry about the Ming army killing them directly without even being tried.

Is there anyone really? The two sentries looked at each other and pulled out a torch. It was still at the sound of the sound. The figures of the four people were immediately exposed to the two sentries.

The former village chief’s house of Matouzhuang was at the moment where the emperor was located. It was a three-step whistle and five-step stairs. The yard was brightly lit just now, but only a few lanterns were still on at this time, and there was a quiet inside and outside the courtyard. Several rapid steps came, breaking the tranquility here.

"who?"

"I!"

The lantern lit up again, and when he looked at the person coming, several guards who were watching the night said: "It turns out it's Lord Yan. The emperor just went to bed. It's not too late for Lord Yan to come tomorrow if you have something to do."

"No, I will report important things to the emperor?"

The guard was embarrassed and reluctantly said, "Okay." If it was not Yan Yingyuan who came, I'm afraid no one would want to see the emperor at this time.

Wang Fu was woken up as soon as he fell asleep. He felt a little annoyed. He heard that it was Yan Yingyuan asking for a meeting, but the anger just now disappeared. He knew that if there was no big deal, Yan Yingyuan would not have come to see him so late.

"I am here to see the emperor, long live my emperor! Long live! Long live!"

"Yan Aiqing doesn't have to be too polite. What's the matter? You want to see me late at night?"

Yan Yingyuan whispered a few words, and Wang Fu's face suddenly showed a hint of joy: "If there is such a thing, can you confirm it?"

"When I went back to the emperor, I asked the four of them separately. Their answers were almost the same. Moreover, the thick smoke from yesterday was still seen by the emperor and I was personally, so there would be no falsehood."

What Yan Yingyuan said to the emperor was naturally the information obtained from the four surrenders. Among these four, Brother Sun was still a big leader in the Tianzhu Army and knew a lot of things. Now, in order to save himself, he has told all the information out in a simplified manner.

"It's great." Wang Fu couldn't help but show his joy.

Although I guessed that something might happen to the Qing army's guards yesterday, I guessed it was speculation. Without definite evidence, I always made people feel worried. Now I not only got the exact news from these four people, but also knew the detailed losses of the Qing army. No wonder my Qing army attacked like crazy, and Wang Fu was even more happy that he had received the news of Xuzhou soldiers for the first time.

"Emperor, the Tartars are already in a difficult situation. They will definitely take a more fierce attack tomorrow. In order to ensure the emperor's safety, will the emperor not have to sit in the mountains personally tomorrow? Everything is left to the ministers to handle." Yan Yingyuan advised carefully.

Wang Fu's head was shaking like a rattle: "No, tomorrow I want to see how crazy the Tartars are. Thank you for coming to tell me this news. I can finally have a good sleep tonight."
