Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 350 Let the Tartars Enter the City

In the middle of the night, Manda Haimo's generals Zhuoluo and Ashan and the Mongolian king Da Mosu started to move. Some got up from the woman, some withdrew the banquet, and brought 5000 people who had been prepared, and suddenly rushed to "" Boot camp".

These so-called recruits were the Han people who had recently been looted from the town and nearby forest villages. These young men were forcibly shaved, put on military uniforms, and forced them to eat food as soldiers.But these ordinary people never expected that it was fake to force them to serve as soldiers and fight, but it was true to massacre them in this way. This was a huge trap.

They, who were sleeping at this moment, were caught off guard. When these "new recruits" were killed, someone reported to Man Dahai, "Master Belle, it's almost time."

"Yes." Man Dahai nodded in satisfaction, and ordered his subordinates, "How dare someone rebel, it's okay, come on, prepare your horse and raise your knife, Ben Baylor will kill them personally!"

The subordinates agreed, led the horses and put on the pedals, and waited for Mandahai to put on his helmet and armor neatly, put on his horse with a knife, and led the Qing army to the "new barracks" where the accident happened. With [-] Qing troops, he had already rushed out of the camp, and Man Dahai led the Qing troops to chase after him.

But the mutinous Qing army ran from the Nanying Gate, but Man Dahai led people to chase them out from the Beiying Gate, holding torches all the way, screaming, chasing several miles in one breath, and approaching Huaiqing City Man Dahai cursed and had no choice but to withdraw his troops and return to the camp, but he was happy in his heart.

Man Dahai, who is self-sufficient, secretly said: "This time, Mingxiu's plank road crossed Chencang secretly. All the tricks of surrender, assassination, and so on are all used. False emperor Zhu Yousong is just waiting for bad luck!"

According to Zhu Yousong's plan, Zheng Hongkui, Ma Bao, and Zu Keyong were ready to "welcome" the Qing army to surrender in Huaiqing City, but they waited until dawn and did not see a single soldier surrender, so they sent someone After some inquiring, I found out that the mutinous Qing army had [-] people, and they were heading towards Huaiqing, but were intercepted by Man Dahai on the way, changed direction, and headed for Luoyang.

"These Qing soldiers who surrendered are really strange. They didn't see how to fight, so they went far away?" Zu Keyong said.

Ma Bao and Zheng Hongkui looked at each other, smiled tacitly, "No matter where you go, the result will be the same." So they ordered the generals to guard the city, and the three generals went down to the city to return to their tents and rest.

Zhuoluo, Ashan, and the three generals of the Mongolian king Da Mosu led the five thousand "mutinous" Qing troops. They left the camp of the Qing army and ran until dawn before arriving outside the city of Luoyang. .

The reason why they run so fast is that they put on a distressed look, of course they pretend to be seen by others. Although it is late at night, even if they are acting for themselves, they have to pretend to be like that. This is what Man Dahai asked them to do. of.

After more than an hour of rapid march, from the three generals down to the ordinary soldier, they were all sweating and panting. They threw the torches, because the sky had already been lit, and these Qing soldiers were wearing military uniforms instead. He was covered in dust, his face was tired, but it was hard to hide the blood stains all over his body.

Zhuoluo, Ashan and Da Mosu's war horses had a few bloody human heads hanging under their necks, all of which were pigtails of money. From a distance, one could see that these heads were all Tartars.

Zhuo Luo, Ah Shan, and the Mongolian official Damosu looked at each other, and they felt good about themselves, which showed that they were satisfied with the performance of the scene.The next hurdle should be tested by the soldiers of the Ming army. If you can pass this hurdle, you will be done.

The night had not yet receded, and looking at the colorless Luoyang City in the distance, Zhuo Luo led the 5000 people into the forest by the roadside, and mobilized them for the last time, "Warriors, success or failure depends on one move, our people are already in the city Don't worry, everyone. After entering the city, everything will be done according to circumstances. Lord Belle said that anyone who can go back alive will be rewarded with [-] catties of gold and five beauties, and please His Majesty King Khan, all of whom will be named Batulu. Conversely, if we were to fail, none of us would be able to survive, and even if we were lucky enough to return alive, Grandpa Baylor would kill us."

"We must win, we must win!"...

5000 men and horses raised their swords and guns in the forest and shouted in a low voice to strengthen their prestige.

Batulu is the title of third-class baron in the Qing Dynasty, bestowed by the royal family, the honor and preciousness needless to say.

When Oboi fought against Pidao, thousands of Eight Banners troops were blocked from charging.Aobai was the first to fall into the battle, risking his life in the face of gunfire and sword rain, turning the tide of the battle. The first title he got was Batulu, and Huang Taiji personally sealed it. What kind of honor is that?

These 5000 people are the death squads of the Tartars, all of whom are carefully selected elites from the Eight Banners. Except for nearly a thousand Mongolian cavalry, the remaining 4000 are all purebred Manchurian Tartars. They have long been mentally prepared. Therefore, Zhuo Luo's mobilization, the disciples of Wuqianbaqi were all excited and responded one after another.

Afterwards, the five thousand Tartars came out of the woods, mounted their horses, and galloped along the official road to the city of Luoyang at dawn.

When we arrived at the foot of Luoyang City, beside the moat, the sky was already bright.

The Ming army on the top of the city had already been on alert, bows were stringed and knives were unsheathed. Because 5000 men and horses came rushing in, the momentum was not small.

The main general Zhuo Luo reined in his horse and shouted to the top of the city, and the 5000 people also stopped.

When the Ming army on the top of the city heard that this was the Qing army who had come to surrender and surrender, they dared not call the shots, so they hurriedly reported to the city lord general.

The main general here is Liu Zhaoji, the commander of the imperial battalion. After hearing the report, he rushed to the top of the city with his guards, held the crenel with his hands, and looked down.

Seeing that the formation below is scattered, the face is exhausted, the whole body is stained with blood, the dust is rusty, the armor is not neat, and all of them are wearing the military uniform of the Qing army. Head full of money rattails.

This shows that this Qing army is an organized and prepared mutiny team, without any flaws. As expected by His Majesty, did they really have the knowledge of current affairs to surrender?
After Liu Zhaoji finished reading it, he ordered someone to fly to report to His Majesty Zhu Yousong, and at the same time, according to Zhu Yousong's prior instructions, no matter whether it was Huaiqing or Luoyang, if the Qing army came to vote, they would all be put in.

Therefore, Liu Zhaoji shouted to the Tartars in the city, "Welcome to come and surrender. Your majesty is wise and will never treat you badly. From now on, we will be our own people. But your majesty has an order, and you must abandon your weapons and get off your horses and enter the city." , Come on, open the city gate, and this general will come out of the city to greet you in person.”

Since so many troops had come out of the Qing army camp to surrender, not to mention holding up the white flag and raising their hands high, but at least they had to show sincerity to surrender and surrender. Liu Zhaoji asked them to abandon their weapons and dismount, which was not too much.

Fortunately, Zhuo Luo and the others had considered this in advance, so the five thousand Qing soldiers did not hesitate at all. They all threw away their knives, guns, bows and arrows, and got off their horses. In the back, leading the horses naturally form a team.

This is when the drawbridge was lowered across the moat.The Qianjin gate fell and the city gate opened wide.A Ming army lined up on both sides of the city gate, led by the general Liu Zhaoji, who used this method to show a grand welcome.

The three generals of Zoro Asandamasu looked at each other, nodded slightly, and then walked in with their heads held high.When the five thousand Tartars saw that the Lord General was leading the way into the city, they put their minds to rest and followed the file.

When Liu Zhaoji saw that all the Tartars had entered the city, he glanced at the general guarding the city gate. With a bang, the city gate closed, the thousand-jin gate fell, and the suspension bridge was pulled up.
