Chapter 699: Aobai's Night Attack
Sony was a smart guy. After following Oboi's instructions, he quickly tidied up the Zhenzhu Palace and summoned a large number of eunuchs and maids.

In Sony's view, since the purpose is to stabilize the rear, it is natural to kill the chicken to scare the monkey. He understands Aobai's temperament. Although he usually has a good temper, he is swift and decisive at critical moments.

Therefore, when Sony was gathering people, he specially selected several women with outstanding looks to give to Oboi, hoping to win his favor.

"Your servant kowtows to His Majesty."

When Sony dared to walk into the gate of Fengtian Hall, he was stopped by the young eunuch in charge of guarding the side, and then he knelt on the ground and shouted.

"I ask you, when will Aobai leave?"

Kangxi sat on the dragon throne. Sony lowered his head and replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, Ao Zhongtang will lead people to Fengtian City tonight."

"oh…."

As soon as Sony finished speaking, he felt a strong chill instantly spread throughout his body, followed by a warm current surging into his heart.

"Pfft."

Sony suddenly knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, are you worried about Master Zhongtang?"

This sentence is very tactful. It can be said that he was worried about Oboi's defeat, or worried about Oboi's triumph.

Obviously, the young Tartar emperor was more worried about the latter. His plan to overthrow Oboi, which he had been planning for a long time, was disrupted by Li Zheng.

"This old fellow Aobai is quite powerful. Otherwise, how could I dare to keep him?"

Seeing that the young Tartar emperor remained silent, Sony asked again tentatively, "Your Majesty, have you ever thought about persuading General Oboi?"

"Humph, I don't need to persuade him to send troops anyway."

The young Tartar emperor said with a gloomy expression, "His ambition is not so easily satisfied. This defeat will surely cause anxiety and fear in his heart."

"And what I want to do is to make him feel this way."

As the young Tartar emperor spoke, his eyes narrowed slightly and an evil smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.

"Have the arrangements that the Firearms Battalion asked you to make been completed?"

The Tartar emperor had a sharp look, which was not at all the look that a young man should have.

Sony replied respectfully, "Your Majesty, everything has been arranged. The outcome of this battle is in our hands."

……

On the other side, Li Zheng led an army of 300,000 and headed straight for Fengtian City.

Under his command were the experienced general Su Dingfang, as well as the rising stars Liu Lin and Liu Sheng. Even though he did not have the wisdom of Hou Junji, he still had the advantage when facing Oboi's 300,000 troops.

Almost at the same time, Oboi led his troops into the city, and the two sides confronted each other in Fengtian City and engaged in a tug-of-war.

Before the battle, Li Zheng gathered all the generals together to hold an impromptu military meeting.

"Your Majesty, the total number of enemies is about 400,000."

Li Kan reported.

Li Zheng nodded and said, "We have a total of 300,000 soldiers and horses, and Aobai has about the same number, but this time it's different. The elite troops of the Qing court should all be here."

"Your Majesty has already made a plan."

Su Dingfang asked.

"Hahaha, General Su still understands me. I plan to use landmines. I want to blow the Manchu people's horse hooves into pieces."

"Wonderful."

"wonderful."

Upon hearing Li Zheng's decision, all the generals were immediately impressed.

At this time, Liu Sheng suddenly interrupted and said, "But if this happens, I'm afraid our new weapon will be exposed, right?"

"The power of this weapon is indeed extraordinary, but it also depends on where it is used."

Su Dingfang said lightly.

"Put mines at key points in front of the battle line. The Qing army will surely attack our camp tonight."

Liu Lin and Liu Sheng remained silent, they just needed to follow orders.

After all, Li Zheng is the real commander of this army. "Okay, pass on my order!"

Li Zheng looked up at the soldiers in the hall and said, "Pass the order, generals at all levels, act according to the plan."

"promise."

Afterwards, the troops from various units dispersed to prepare for tomorrow's siege.

Li Zheng brought 5,000 people to a forest south of Fengtian City.

"Soldiers, your mission tonight is to raze this place to the ground."

Li Zheng pointed to the forest in front of him and said in a cold tone: "Remember, at all costs!"

……

At night, Oboi led his army to attack, with no less than 50,000 troops.

They also brought the firearms battalion with them, with large-caliber cannons towed by ox carts, which looked very terrifying.

It can be imagined that once the cannon finds the right angle, one shot can destroy a large camp.

Thanks to Li Zheng's arrangement, the Qing army had a smooth journey. Although Ao Biao felt something was wrong, he didn't take it seriously.

He believed that the Tang army must be very tired after continuous fighting.

"Pass the order down, the firearms battalion will reload immediately, the archers will provide cover, and the cavalry will sneak over from both wings. If the Tang army escapes, kill them immediately!"

"Yes."

After Oboi gave the order, he rode his horse to the front position.

"drive…"

As he got closer to the striker, he became more and more uneasy, but as things had come to this point he had no choice but to go ahead.

Soon, Oboi arrived at the forward position.

The Tang army was already here, forming a battle formation and ready to fight, apparently waiting for the Qing army to arrive and then surround them.

Seeing this, Aobai cursed in his heart: "Tang army, this must be the bait sent by the Tang army to lure us into a trap."

However, the situation was stronger than the person, and Oboi did not retreat. Instead, he became more vigilant and asked his personal guards to pay attention to the surrounding environment so that the house would not be attacked.

"Old Aobai, you are finally here.

A hearty voice rang in Aobai's ears, followed by several fireballs flying into the sky and hitting the front row of the Qing army.

bang
With a loud bang, several cavalrymen screamed and fell off their horses.

Seeing this scene, Oboi's face changed drastically.

What are these fireballs? They actually have such tremendous power!
The Qing army behind Oboi was also stunned. They had never thought that such a thing would happen.

"Shoot, shoot this general quickly."

"Quick, aim quickly."

Aobai's deputy general shouted in confusion.

"Master Zhongtang, it's dynamite. There is dynamite in the ground."

The deputy general was sweating profusely, and Oboi naturally noticed it. Even though he saw it with his own eyes, he couldn't believe that the Tang army could actually detonate the explosives in the ground.

In just a short while, more than a thousand of his elite cavalrymen were killed or wounded, which made him extremely sad.

Before he had time to think, teams of troops marching in unison had already appeared in the Tang army camp.

Everyone was wearing heavy armor, and the firearms of the three camps were directed directly at Oboi.

Li Zheng sat on the horse, and the generals behind him were all extremely excited.

"Aobai, you are so restless. How dare you attack me?"

Li Zheng was the first to walk in front, but he did not carry any weapons, not even any armor, and he was full of taunts towards the Tartars.
