Chapter 124 (6) The leader went on vacation

When Dorgon became the regent, he immediately ordered: All the princes, all the Baylors, from today onwards, all give me their filial piety. why?Everyone was furious. Because we are about to conquer Ningyuan.Dorgon said in grief and indignation: "The first emperor quarreled with his son, but Wu Sangui didn't come to kowtow and cry. This is obviously destroying the peace between the two countries. Do you think we can tolerate it?" cannot!All the princes and princes Baylor raised their arms and shouted in unison. To destroy Ningyuan, the first step is to destroy the three cities from Ningyuan to Shanhaiguan, Zhongqian and Qiantunwei, cut off the connection between Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan, the base camp, and completely isolate Ningyuan. Let Wu Sangui be alone, lonely, living by himself is meaningless.

The leaders of this dispatch were Jierharang and Ajige. The two led the army, set off at midnight, quietly bypassed Ningyuan, and first arrived at Zhonghousuo City. The defenders of the Zhonghou Institute are the guerrilla Wu Liangbi and the governor Wang Guoan.The two rushed out barefoot and led the soldiers up the wall: all attention, ready to fight. But there was no movement at all from the Qing soldiers, only the Qing soldiers were seen running around with washbasins, brushing their teeth and eating, waiting for a whole day, but they did not come to attack the city. Wu Liangbi and Wang Guo'an groaned: "The soldiers of the Qing Dynasty have been fooled. They deliberately made us nervous all day. At night, when our nerves are broken, they will come to attack the city again."

Sure enough, as soon as the sun went down, the horns of the Qing army camp sounded, and the Qing soldiers were seen carrying a sack filled with soil, shouting and rushing towards Zhonghousuo City. When they reached the edge of the trench, the Qing soldiers threw the sack into it, The trench was filled in an instant, and then the rattan armored soldiers put their shields on their heads, shouted and rushed to the edge of the city wall, and began to erect ladders. More than a dozen red-clothed gates aimed at a fixed direction of the city wall, and began to bombard them non-stop. Rolling wood and beating stones under the city, and fighting one after another under the city, they tore and fought all night, but nothing was achieved.What's worse is that a dozen cannons were aimed at a certain part of the city wall. Although the hit rate was not too high, after such a whole night of bombardment, the city wall shook a few times and collapsed.

The Qing soldiers rushed into the city shouting. The Zhonghou Institute was captured, and the self-defense officer guerrilla Wu Liangbi, the capital under Wang Guoan, a total of 4,500 troops were killed, and another 4,000 Ming troops became prisoners. It took only one night to take down the middle office. At the next stop, the Qing soldiers drove to Qiantunwei. Use exactly the same tactics as in the middle and back of the attack. Since the tactics are effective, stick to them. First fill the trenches, then the rattan armored soldiers set up the ladders, and the red cannons aim at a fixed position to bombard.However, the artillery technology of the Qing soldiers was relatively poor. Fully half of the artillery exploded on their own in the previous battle, and the firepower was significantly weakened this time.

It took three full days and three nights of bombardment until all the artillery pieces were scrapped, and then the former guard was blasted open a big hole. More than 30 leading cadres including Li Fuming and Yuan Shangren, the general soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, were killed, 4,000 Ming troops died in battle, and 2,000 Ming troops were captured. Next stop, Nakamae. It was Ajige who attacked Zhongqian. He took the Eight Banners soldiers to the place, but found that the gate of Zhongqian was wide open. He rushed into the city at the speed of Er, caught nine thousand Ming soldiers on the spot, and asked them: What are you looking for?

The Ming army replied: We are looking for our leader. Our leader has been lost. Before we can find it, your Qing soldiers came. Ajige laughed with excitement: What else are you looking for?Your leaders must be on vacation, so you don’t need to look for them. I’ll take you to a prisoner-of-war camp for a party. The soldiers returned to the camp, and when they returned, they deliberately swaggered past Ningyuan City, sincerely mad at Wu Sangui. As I was walking, I heard someone shouting from behind: "Wait a minute, wait for me." Jierhalang and Aji each turned their heads, but saw a Han official with an unfamiliar face, chasing after him on horseback, and asked, "Who are you, why are you chasing us? Do you want to fight?"

The Han official said: "A certain Sun Youbai, the guard of Ningyuan, has resigned from the Ming Dynasty and came to apply for the job. I wonder if you still recruit new employees?" Recruit, why not recruit.Jierhalang and Aji were overjoyed, they stopped, the three armies stopped, and they had a picnic with wine on the spot, welcoming newcomers to join us in Qing Dynasty. Set up wine on the spot to calm Sun Youbai's surprise.The Qing soldiers sang and danced at the reception: the wine is fragrant and the singing is flying, my friend, please come down and have a drink, please have a drink... Under this temptation, I saw soldiers and people coming out of the city one after another from the top of Ningyuan City. He rushed towards the Qing soldiers, and as soon as they met, he hugged the Qing soldiers tightly and did not let go: My relatives, I have found you.

More and more deserters from Ningyuan came to the reception, and the singing became louder and louder: My home is in a prisoner-of-war camp in the northeast, where there are soybeans and sorghum all over the mountains... Wu Sangui stood on the city wall with a livid face and said nothing. At this time, the only person he missed in his heart was Chen Yuanyuan.
