The campfire of the Qing army in the north of the city was bright, several horses were set up outside the camp, and the patrols were even more expanded several miles away.

It's strange to say, since the night attack of the Ming army has been like a turtle with a shrunken head, no matter how it provokes and insults, it will no longer show its head, and even when it feints to test it, it is also passive resistance, I don't know whether it is the bottom of the heart or at a loss, but for Dolgon, these two days have not been idle, while the soldiers are robbing, while letting the captured Ming people cut down wood and build cars, cut skin and rub ropes, and build more than ten siege vehicles in just two days, nearly 100 stone throwers and more than 100 siege ladders, but for a big city like the imperial capital, these equipment are just drizzle, If my artillery blessing is just scratching an itch.

Of course, the premise is that the Ming army can resist it.

But what if you resist passively or don't resist? That's another thing, Dolgon is actually gambling, after all, the Ming Court is too weak in the years, and there are few people who really fight to the death once they attack the city.

Think about the history when Li Zicheng attacked the capital, how could he have thought that it would be so easy to enter, because there was almost no resistance, his mentality at that time was actually the same as that of Dolgon now, he didn't have any expectations, and gambled.

After entering the customs for a few days, several counties in the north of the imperial capital were plundered by it, among which Miyun and Pinggu City were broken, and there was no grass within a radius of twenty miles in the remaining three directions of the capital, but these were far from satisfying Dorgon's appetite.

He wanted to go east to plunder and go, but he was angered by Chang Yu, and decided to hit the capital and then say, if it is broken, the gain is incalculable, and he will leave immediately if he does not break, so he ordered to build a car to prepare for war and recalled all the Azig and Nikan departments, ready to fight hard.

In the handsome tent, everyone drank and discussed, and they all said that there was no artillery siege pressure, and the division of troops to attack the star was insufficient, so they had to find a centralized firepower to attack, the so-called firepower is the cannon fodder of the Ming people, as well as the use of stone throwers and bows and arrows......

It wasn't until dawn that they dispersed, but they were shocked to hear that the Ming army was approaching twenty miles to the north, Dolgon frowned, and Nikan laughed angrily: "The day before yesterday, let him go, but today he didn't know whether he was alive or dead."

Dolgon nodded in acquiescence, and ordered Ao to bow to him: "Tinamin will come to see the king with the dog's head."

Almost at the same time, Chang Yu walked out of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and the great eunuch of Dongchang, who had always only heard of his name and was difficult to see, surfaced because of the critical situation of the Tartar soldiers in front of him, and convened all the departments in charge of the troops in the capital to hold a meeting in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies.

Wang Jiayan finally breathed a sigh of relief, since the night attack Chang Yu never showed up, making him panic, after this night, the little eunuch has clarified various defensive tactics, so that everyone has the bottom in their hearts: as long as you resist, the city will not break!

"No matter how the Tartars fight, where to fight, everyone is united, and if Dolgon wants to break the city, it is tantamount to ascending to the sky" Chang Yu looked confident, so that the big guys present gradually dispersed the dark clouds, and their confidence slowly condensed.

"The Qing army has no strength and will not attack from all sides, at most it will find a feint, and then concentrate firepower to storm one door" Chang Yu knocked on the table and drew the key points: "The southern city is the feint point, and the Qing army will attack from the two gates of the northern city, so the artillery on the east and west cities will be moved north, and the war materials will also be transferred over."

Why is this so sure? Everyone led by Wang Jiayan questioned it.

Chang Yu didn't explain, just said that it felt!

, everyone is very dissatisfied, although you say that you will fight, but you can't act according to your feelings, if you make a mistake in judgment, the consequences are unbearable.

In the end, Li Muxian, who followed Chang Yu to the meeting, opened his mouth to explain: We have reinforcements in the south, and the Qing army must be on guard, so sending a group of men and horses to the south city can not only attack the city but also keep an eye on the Ming army over there, second, the north and south cities are too far apart, so that the separate attack will make the Ming army difficult to take care of, tired of running, as for why he is sure that he will attack from the north city, the reason is simpler, it is close to the Qing army camp, there is no need to run dozens of miles to the south city to attack.

Everyone was in a trance, but they were also extremely embarrassed, it turned out that the little eunuch was not unwilling to explain, but such a simple reason they should have wanted, could it be that they and others were pigs' heads, such a simple reason turned out to be ......

"Lord Overseer, please stay" Out of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, Wang Jiayan suddenly shouted, and Chang Yu turned his head to look: "What is the matter with Lord Wang?" ”

"As the Overseer sees, will the Tartars attack the city today?" Wang Jiayan asked, Chang Yu pondered for a while, looked up at the sky, and it was dark: "Lack of preparation, if this governor is not in such a hurry, he will never start a war in such a hurry."

Wang Jiayan breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay, let's have more time to prepare."

Chang Yu smiled slightly: "Eat and drink well, rest well" said and left, Wang Jiayan saw him go a long way, and then sighed slightly: "I don't have your determination."

Thirty miles northeast of the capital, a Ming army was passing through a small town, to be precise, a ruins that had just been plundered by the Tartars, with ruins and fresh corpses telling of what kind of blood and tears had been experienced here.

Tang Tong looked at the few corpses on the side of the road, and his eyes were full of anger: "Damn Tartar this time, you will not return!" "Seeing the Tartars leave last evening, he sent several units of probes to reconnoiter and were intercepted, so Tang Tong guessed that something big happened in the capital, and it was very unfavorable to the Tartars.

So Tang Tong decisively raised troops out of the city, to help Chang Yu, this is what he did, let others hide in the city and watch still, but Tang Tong is different He and Chang Yu have fought side by side, know his ability, and admire him even more, so it is incumbent on him at this time.

"Report, Lord Commander, five miles ahead is the Chaobai River" just past the town, to explore the Malay newspaper, Tang Tong is more familiar with the vicinity, knowing that crossing the river to the west will arrive at the gate of the capital, and also know that Shuntianfu is Shuntianfu twenty miles north and Tongzhou is south.

After a night of hurrying, Tang Tong ordered the soldiers and horses to rest and recuperate, and then cross the river to the capital after recuperating their strength, and at the same time spread the exploration horses out of ten miles away, after all, at this time, the Tartars in Gyeonggi were in trouble and the cavalry came and went like the wind and had to be guarded.

The day is close to noon, and the Qing army is approaching ten miles away on the other side, about 5,000 men and horses, Tang Tong was shocked, and then ordered the whole army to fight, but he was puzzled in his heart and secretly said that his guess was wrong, what happened in the capital, how could the Tartars still transfer men and horses to take the initiative to face the battle.

However, now is not the time to study carefully, but how to deal with the battle, although the Tartars are only 5,000 soldiers and horses, all the cavalry, the combat power is domineering, although their own strength is slightly superior, but there is still a third of the infantry, if it is not outside the pass to pick up a bargain, I am afraid that at this time only a third of the cavalry, if the fight does not even have the power to parry.

Or a fight! Although the Tartars have strong cavalry combat power and simple and crude tactics, they are too simple and inflexible, and a little trick can make them bend their waists.

After drawing on the ground for a long time, he decided to do it, after all, he had the advantage of troops and his strength had recovered, although he didn't dare to say that he would be able to win, but he already had the strength to fight a duel, and the question was whether he dared to fight.

If Tang Tong would have hesitated before, but the people who have mixed with Chang Yu are full of blood, is it a man who returns them without a fight at this time, even a eunuch!

Three thousand infantry from the north and south miles away to cross the river to the west, roundabout outflanking and encirclement, cavalry across the river to face the battle, brothers, the people and horses of my Ji Town are famous today, King Qin's first merit is at this time, Tang Tong has learned to fight chicken blood, the long knife waved to the sky and roared, and the men and horses under his command suddenly began to cross the river.
