please make me king

Chapter 1388
"Fu Jun, General, Changping Town is ahead!" After the soldiers reported, Chen Zubao, the Governor of Shuntian, and Wu Guojun, the Chief Soldier of Ji Town, who were not daring to breathe, heaved a sigh of relief.

Changping is [-] miles away from the capital, but in this short distance of [-] miles, even though Chen Zubao and Wu Guojun only took one day to get here, in fact, the whole journey was full of turmoil and days felt like years.

Do you know why?

It turned out that Chen Zubao, the governor of Shuntian, and Wu Guojun, the chief soldier of Jizhen, were not fools. Although everyone said that the main force of Houjin had left, who knew whether he had left or not.

This time, the two men led a total of more than ten thousand people to rescue Miyun. Their specific strategy was to capture the empty Changping Town first, so that the Houjin soldiers who besieged Miyun were in a situation where they were attacked by the enemy, and they surrendered without fighting.

It's just that these many troops are enough to attack the Houjin soldiers stationed in Changping; but if they are used to fight against the main force of the Houjin soldiers, it is tantamount to hitting a stone with a pebble.

Chen Zubao and Wu Guojun knew their own family affairs, so of course they didn't dare to rush forward, in case they were ambushed by Hou Jin soldiers.

However, now, along the way, there is no obstacle.

While being suspicious, the two of them felt at ease after seeing most of the destroyed city facilities and sparse defenders.

Could it be that there is a military emergency in the direction of the Xuanfu, and all the "East Prisoners" really went to the rescue?
The two looked at each other involuntarily, puzzled.

Seeing this, Chen Zubao couldn't help but speak first: "Since that's the case, then let's act according to the plan!"

The so-called plan is naturally to take advantage of his illness to kill him, and take advantage of Changping's emptiness to recover this city and town.

The two had made a plan, and then they directed the troops to set up camp, and at the same time directed the soldiers to cut down trees and prepare to make siege equipment.

It was late at that time, and the Ming army hastily set up the camp, already exhausted, how could they attack the city?
Therefore, Chen Zubao and Wu Guojun first arranged for soldiers to patrol and guard, and then backed up their troops to prevent the city defenders from leaving the city to attack the camp, and then they fell asleep peacefully.

Who would have thought that the two of them had just closed their eyes and slept for an unknown amount of time, when suddenly there was a cannon fire, followed by killing sounds.

The terrified Chen Zubao and Wu Guojun hurriedly got up to have a look. They saw flames in the southeast, northwest, and shouts of killing everywhere. They didn't know how many people came.

Oops, hit the jackpot!

Although Chen Zubao and Wu Guojun are not famous generals, they are also not people who don't know how to fight. Looking at the situation, how could they not know that they have fallen into the trick of "Jianlu"?

How dare the two dare to fight?He hurriedly took advantage of the darkness to break out in the direction of the capital.

Unexpectedly, Hong Tai had expected these two people to run away, and had already sent people to ambush them on the only way they must pass.

But as soon as he arrived, he heard only a cannon shot, and the generals immediately came out and surrounded him again.

Chen Zubao and Wu Guojun saw that they couldn't get away, so they had to dig the earth for a trench and circle the carts to form a formation, and they couldn't hold out.

The elite Ming army established on the principle of "substituting guns for blunderbusses" was originally good at battle, as good as galloping.

If you fight "standing", you are naturally not Houjin's opponent at all, but if you fight "sitting", not to mention being invincible, at least you can fight back and forth with Houjin.

At that time, the Houjin Hongyi cannon had not yet arrived, only small cannons such as Frangji and Baizichuang were suddenly confronted with the Ming Army's Western Cannon, General, Second General, Frangji, and Yongzhu Cannon. I can't lift my head, where did I shoot at each other?

As a last resort, Mrs. Hong had no choice but to order the selection of "Ba Yala" as the elite raiders, intending to tear apart the defense line of the Ming army in one fell swoop.

However, when the Houjin "Ba Yala" came forward to charge, the Ming army was served with firecrackers and artillery, and then the killer team rushed up to resist.

Wait until he retreats from exhaustion, and repeat the same trick again.

In this way, the two sides fought from late to early, from early to late, until they couldn't see their fingers, and the Houjin soldiers still couldn't make a breakthrough.

At this time, after the initial panic, the Ming court also began to move around, preparing to send Ding Kuichu, governor of Jiliao, to lead the team to rescue.

Mrs. Hong saw that there was nothing she could do, and she was afraid that both sides would suffer from the Ming army, so she let the rebel army take advantage of it, so she had to let Chen Zubao, Wu Guojun and others break through.

Not to mention how these two men boasted of "destroyed and built captives" after they returned to the capital, but also said that after seeing Chen Zubao, Wu Guojun and other Ming troops retreating, Mrs. Hong laughed and said: "I have suffered a loss, and I have learned well. I must have survived this battle." After that, the Ming army never dared to go out lightly."

"Beile Shuotuo will lead [-] troops and continue to guard Changping Town. The others will follow me and go to the security immediately. There must be no mistakes!"

From Changping to Bao'an for more than [-] miles, Mrs. Hong led [-] people under his command to reach Bao'an with only two people.

"How?" Upon seeing Prince Rui Dorgon, Mrs. Hong couldn't help asking immediately.

"The situation is not very good!" Dorgon shook his head sadly, pointing to the road outside the city, "Three or four days ago, I fought fiercely with the Shun bandits outside the city."

"He was lonely, with only two battalions of [-] troops. I intended to kill the 'Shun Bandits' in one fell swoop, so I selected soldiers and let Arzin lead them."

"At that time, Arzin was fighting in an array, and Arzin took advantage of the array to attack. Unexpectedly, there was a warrior under his command who was nine feet tall and powerful. Not only did he protect him well, but he even captured Arzin and left. "

"I will lead the army to fight again, but the 'thief' red cannon is very vicious, I can't break it. The two sides fought hard until the end, it was night, and the 'thief' escaped through the night."

Mrs. Hong couldn't help but gasped when she heard the words: "Hongyi Cannon? He came here on light horses, where did Hongyi Cannon come from?"

"To be honest, I don't know either!" Dorgon shook his head, also somewhat puzzled. "But listening to its loud sound, it is no match for our country's newly cast red cannons!"

"It seems that this 'shun thief' can't be broken in a moment!" Mrs. Hong frowned for a long while, and finally sighed.

"Your Highness, why did you say that? How can you increase the ambition of others and destroy your own prestige?" Dorgon was taken aback when he heard the words, and couldn't help but be convinced.

"I am good at riding and shooting in Manchuria, but the Chinese are good at firearms." Mrs. Hong shook her head with a wry smile and said, "A few days ago, in order to prevent the Ming army from deceiving me to go west, I first led the snake out of the cave, and then led the troops to attack."

"As a result, [-] to [-] elite soldiers besieged more than [-] people of the Ming army, and were bombarded by their guns. Not only did they kill and injure hundreds of people, but they were unable to win in one fell swoop."

"I thought the security situation was critical, so I had to fail and let him go!"

"Then the artillery of the Ming army is weaker than the 'Shun Bandit'. Without the help of the red cannon and the shield chariot, it would be difficult for me to break it; if it is replaced by the 'Shun Bandit' with sharper artillery, what can I do?"

"What can this be done?" Dorgon couldn't help but ask.
