Go back to the end of the Ming Dynasty to be a soldier

Chapter 303 Outsmarting Beijing City

It was the third watch of the night, at the south gate of Beijing, countless torches were as bright as day, making the sky red, and people shouting and neighing broke the tranquility of the night.

The Dashun army defending the south gate of Beijing was all alarmed. Many soldiers of the Dashun army were shouted out of bed in a bewilderment, and rushed to the top of the city with their knives and guns cursing.

The general who was guarding the south gate tonight was called Li Xian. His official position in the army was Chief Qian. He ran here with a few followers.

As soon as he arrived near the south gate, he heard someone shouting from behind: "The empress is here——"

Before the words fell, the chaotic army flashed aside, and a group of fast horses came galloping, and the broken hooves of the horses stepped on the hard stone slabs, making a crisp sound.

A group of pink horses headed by them sat a female general with a beautiful face, but at this moment, her face was anxious.Military adviser Song Xiance rode his horses to follow, surrounded by a group of female soldiers on the left and right, and Zhang Nai followed closely behind with a team.

Seeing this place, Li Xian was so frightened that his wit shivered, and his mind immediately cleared up. The empress is here in person?There is also Mr. Song, the Second Army of the National Defense Army. Fortunately, I did not come too late. If I want to get behind the empress, I have to lose my head.

As soon as he felt that there was no helmet on his head, he took one off the head of the general behind him and put it on his own head.This helmet was relatively large, and he put it on to cover half of his face, but at this moment, facing the empress's horse, he stood neatly and did not dare to move.

This made the general behind him grin.

Fortunately, the empress did not stop, and followed the horse path to the top of the city on a flying horse, followed by Li Gui and others.

Gao Guiying and Song Xiance went up to the top of the city which was more than three feet high, looked down by the light of the torch, and now they could see clearly.

Outside the moat, there was a team, dark and dense, it seemed that there were a lot of people, but they were very embarrassed. One person lost his helmet and armor, his clothes were disheveled, his body was covered in blood, his face was bloody, and his flag was in pieces.

The leading general, he could tell at a glance that it was Li Yan. At this time, Li Yan's face was also covered with blood, like a painted face, his hair was fluffy, his helmet was gone, and the big knife in his hand was covered with blood. The head is full of gaps.

Many of the generals behind Li Yan were injured.

This Li Yan looked at the top of the city and behind him at the same time, looking anxious and uneasy.

In fact, they were really anxious, because after waiting here for a long time, the city gate just wouldn't open. Could it be that Lin Taishi's plan to defraud the city failed this time, what should we do if it continues like this?

But none of them dared to slack off without ordering them, they had to do their best to perform the scene well, if the performance failed, Master Lin would never spare them.

Fake Li Yan doesn't talk easily, because Ji Dong told him that too much talk will lead to failure, there are a few key points, a few key words, he just needs to say well, on the way, Ji Dong has already put all possible plots and countermeasures into consideration. Ce told him.

Beside Li Yan, several generals were shouting at the top of the city: "After dawdling for a long time, why haven't you opened the city yet? Uncle Guo and General Li Guo were both seriously injured. Hurry up and open the city again!" If we delay, the Ming army will come after us..."

At this time, the sound of gunfire and faint shouts were heard. Of course, these movements were caused by Ji Dong's men and horses behind him.

Gao Guiying and Song Xiance looked at each other, countless soldiers on the top of the city also rubbed their eyes, looked down carefully, they were indeed our own people, and some generals even saw familiar faces.

But Gao Guiying was still a little worried, and called out to the city: "Is the following General Li Yan, the National Defense Army Division?"

The city of Beijing is more than three feet high, and there is still a little distance from the city gate to the moat, and then there is a wide moat. Therefore, the vertical distance between them is also a hundred meters away.

Of course Gao Guiying had to shout loudly so that the other party could hear her.

At this time, someone beside Li Yan whispered to him that this is Dashun's empress, and the dark and short one beside Gao Guiying is Song Xiance.

The fake Li Yan calmed down, and he couldn't do it unless he calmed down. Now that he has become the protagonist, this scene is all dependent on him, and many pairs of eyes are staring at him in the city.

Fake Li Yan knew in his heart that if this scene was performed well, promotion and fortune would be indispensable.But if it was the opposite, he also thought of the consequences, and he would be cut off by Ji Dong's cronies immediately, and his whole body would not be safe.

So the fake Li Yan threw his heart out, lowered his head slightly, imitated Li Yan's voice, and bowed to his superior: "It turns out that the empress and the phoenix are driving here, Li Yan is being polite."

"There is no need to be rude, the general. How is the battle going?"

Gao Guiying could see the embarrassment of the people below who ran back overnight, the reason for asking this question was of course about the situation in Gaobeidian, to put it bluntly, he still cared about his own brother Gao Yigong.

Ji Dong had thought of these things a long time ago, and he had told the fake Li Yan on the way. With such a short distance and such a big battle, both sides must have scouted horses. Everyone in the city must have known about Li Yan's defeat. This is why they were so slow. The reason for Kaesong.

But they probably don't know the specific details, because Li Yan and the others in Zhoukoudian were ambushed and the entire army was annihilated. The city may not know the specific situation. None of Yan's 10 horses slipped through the net, and there would be errors in the information transmitted only by outside scouts. Lin Yi took the risk this time to take advantage of this loophole, which is why he led the troops to Beijing overnight without stopping.

"Your Majesty is ashamed to say that we won the battle first and we took advantage of the victory to pursue it. Unexpectedly, we fell into Lin Yi's trick. Later, we fought with all our might, winning more and losing less, and finally reversed the battle. , Cooperating from inside to outside, fighting until dark and finally rescued the man, but encountered Lin Yi's ambush again in Zhoukoudian. Uncle Gao Yigong, General Li Guo, General Liu Fangliang, and Yuan Zongdi were all seriously wounded, and his subordinates were slightly injured, and now the officers and soldiers are chasing after him, my lady, hurry up and open the city, or it will be too late."

The fake Li Yan recited the set of words that Lin Yi taught him countless times along the way, and now he finally played it out, and said it so painfully and urgently that it was hard to tell the truth from the fake.

As Li Yan said, he waved his hands and his men and horses flashed to the side, and several horses were led to the front. Gao Guiying from Huoguang City saw that there were four generals on the horses, all covered in blood, blood-stained war robes. The saddle was all stained red, and he lay motionless on the horse, apparently seriously injured.Judging from the horses and clothes, these four people are Gao Yigong, Li Guo, Yuan Zongdi and Liu Fangliang. There is no doubt that Gao Yigong's big sword, Li Guo's big sword, Yuan Zongdi's double whip and Liu Fangliang's bright silver spear are also all On horseback.

"Oh, why didn't you say it earlier, the military division made a great contribution, come here, open the city quickly, and take the military division and them into the city."

Gao Guiying saw that this was absolutely true, especially when she saw that Gao Yigong and Li Guo were injured like this immediately, she didn't dare to delay, so she immediately ordered Kaicheng to be opened.

When the Dashun army guarding the city heard the order, they hurriedly lowered the suspension bridge across the moat, raised the Qianjin gate, and then unlocked the big lock of the city gate, and the two big iron gates opened with a bang.

At this time, the fake Li Yan wiped the sweat off his face and heaved a sigh of relief. Thank God, the task entrusted by Mr. Lin has been completed. It is not easy, and the rest is up to you!So he dodged his horse aside, and He Renlong, Gan Bao and Jiang Xingyuan behind him saw it, and couldn't help being elated, "Come on! Kill——"

These generals shouted one after another, waving the guys in their hands and rushing towards the city.They took the lead, and Pegasus went onto the suspension bridge, followed by soldiers from the Standard Battalion, the Invincible Battalion and the Musketeer Battalion, swarming up.

Song Xiance on the top of the city saw that something was wrong, and hurriedly shouted: "No, they are cheating, we have been fooled, close the city gate..."

Gao Guiying didn't expect this change, why did these people suddenly change their faces?But at this moment, He Renlong and the others had rushed to the base of the city, and now they could see clearly that these people were wearing the armor of the Dashun Army, but they were not their army at all. Yes, now they are all alive and well, and all of them have guys in their hands, some with two weapons, three weapons, and some with four weapons.

Gao Guiying often charged and killed, his own army didn't know how, so he saw the flaws at once, what Song Xiance said was true, they were really fooled, and quickly ordered the city to be closed.But at this time, where is the time to close the city gate?
The suspension bridge is full of officers and soldiers. If they want to pull the suspension bridge, they want to pull it off. They want to drop the Qianjin gate, but the musketeers by the moat have already aimed at them. Although the bows and arrows cannot reach them, the muskets can reach them. Thousands of people The musketeers opened fire together, crackling like setting off firecrackers. The Dashun army on the top of the city was shot and fell down the top of the city, and the city was in chaos.

"Protect the empress! Protect the military division—" The Dashun army on the city rushed down the city, guarding Gao Guiying and Song Xiance.

Under the cover of muskets, He Renlong and others rushed into the city gate at once. At this time, the Dashun army in the city gate saw that it was not good, so they hurriedly closed the city, but before the city gate was closed, several sharp arrows flew Soon, the Dashun army who closed the city gate were knocked down one after another.

He Ren's dragon and horse were in a hurry, and the Pegasus rushed into the city, followed by Gan Bao and Jiang Xingyuan, and the soldiers of the Biaoying and Wudiying battalions poured their strength into the city.

"Hurry up, dispatch troops and condemn the generals, and drive them out!" Song Xiance and Gao Guiying shouted as they charged, their voices were hoarse.

How easy is it to drive them out?How did these soldiers swindle the city? Lin Yi commanded 2 people to charge into the city in a blowout. The scuffle continued until dawn...
