Chapter 486: Yellow Sparrow Behind

Li Yan is not a naïve and innocent man, he naively thought that these bandits were moved by his few words, at least not exactly.

Li Zicheng has plagued the Ming Dynasty for more than ten years, and the first thief under his command has moved the world, Li Yan as one of the Confucian generals, and one of the staff, his name is not thin, and the people sent to the mountains to comfort him mentioned his name, and the thieves were dumbfounded, he had actually surrendered to the imperial court, could it be that the ancestors of the thieves were already declining, they were closed to the news, and naturally they didn't know that Lao Li was now mixed with wind and water, and he was full of pride.

It can be said that there is a reason why they are so unexpectedly easy to surrender, the first is because Li Yan has the reputation of righteousness and Bo Yuntian, and has appeal, the second is bitter cold outside the pass, the people are not happy, there is nowhere to go for robbery, and the thieves are not rich.

As for the third, most of these thieves are the defeated soldiers of the Ming army, and in the final analysis, there are still some soldiers' feelings and blood left in their hearts, and their conscience has not yet been extinguished, and they are more or less inextricably linked with the officers and soldiers outside the customs, otherwise they would have been killed long ago.

They don't know what is going on inside the pass, but the situation outside the pass is always concerned, the Ming army first ambushed the vanguard of the Qing army in the front, a big victory, so that they were thieves are all happy, and then there are soldiers to the back office, right under their noses, Li Yan, who has just surrendered to Chengcheng, beat the Qing army again, so that they are impressed, the Ming army is so awesome now?

Moreover, Li Yan sent people into the mountains to recruit peace, which must be the meaning of the above, that is to say, the border army that maintains an inextricable relationship with them also nodded, that is, that is, that ...... That's it.

Sanxi is coming, how can Li Yan not feel that the years are quiet, but when the sky is not yet bright, he rode from the north and hurriedly entered the city tired, and he realized that where the years are quiet and good, we still need to carry the weight forward.

The fast horse was ordered by Chang Yu to deliver the letter, and they set off for a hundred miles in the early morning, and it took two hours to travel non-stop, which can be described as urgent, urgent!

In just a few words in the letter, Chang Yu ordered Li Yan to immediately raise troops to the north, divided into two routes, all the way from the sea to sneak straight into the enemy's rear, all the way from the official road to march rapidly, flanking the enemy, the letter has a simple map near Ningyuan City, marked on it.

This letter was sent by Chang Yu when the Qing army began to bombard the mountain last night, so when Li Yan inquired, he only said that the Qing army was attacking the mountain.

It seems that the little overseer is going to set up a chess game again, Li Yan secretly speculated.

After some discussion, he decided to leave the Red Lady to lead 3,000 men and horses to sit in the middle of the rear, and the general Qin Songwang led 8,000 infantry to sneak behind the enemy, and he personally led 5,000 cavalry to the north from the official road.

The red lady repeatedly asked to go north with her husband, but Li Yan remembered the little eunuch's sentence: "War should keep women away", and she always felt sorry for her wife, so she decisively refused.

Sneaking ambushes and surviving in the wilderness are the common things for thieves, and hard-working is their biggest advantage, so for Li Yanbu, it doesn't matter at all, and after a simple deployment, the soldiers went out of the city in two ways.

At this time, Li Yan still didn't know what happened in Ningyuan City, the Qing army shouldn't be able to attack Xishan, right? That was his only concern.

In fact, the Qing army did not attack at all after dark, everything was to attack Ningyuan City, so it was just a matter of setting up a suspicious formation, and finally in the early hours of the morning, when everything was ready, it suddenly made a move and caught Wu Sangui off guard.

The incident happened too suddenly, not only Wu Sangui and Tang Tong in the city were in a hurry, but Chang Yu in the mountain was also confused, completely unexpected, I thought that Dolgon was going to kill him, so he sent someone out of the mountain late at night in advance to deliver a letter to Li Yan, and made a big table to welcome the guests, but he didn't want people to go straight to Lao Wu's house.

It's just that Dorgon seems to have the upper hand, so can he really take advantage?

It did make Wu Sangui a little flustered at first, but fortunately, the city had already made all kinds of preparations, and when Wu Sangui's return gift was given, Dolgon couldn't help but be shocked.

How could there be so many artillery pieces in Ningyuan City, besieged on three sides, he fired artillery on three sides at the same time, and the fire was fierce, and the shells poured out like a river and the sea poured out and he didn't want to go up and down.

The Qing army not only had more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, but also roughly estimated that there were 70 or 80 artillery pieces, and the firepower of the two armies was comparable.

Ningyuan City is a projectile land, more than ten years of hard resistance to the attack of the Manchu Qing Dynasty two generations of emperors and standing, its own sturdiness, the city on the firepower network, the city under the moat array, plus the outside of the urn city, how easy to take.

But Dorgon came prepared, and in a fit of rage he was determined to gnaw the bone, and the cannonballs were smashed without money, and the soldiers swarmed away without their lives, swearing to break the city at dawn.

After nearly half an hour, the Qing army was close to the urn city, and at the worst it had taken a ladder to the wall, but in the end it was defeated by the Ming army, after several times in a row, the morale was a little tired, but Dolgon's face remained unchanged at all, he knew that Ningyuan was strong, and he also knew that the first wave of the Ming army would resist frantically.

But this wave is aimed at consuming the ammunition and bows and arrows of the Ming army, and the second wave is the main meal, and it depends on whether you can stop it.

At this time, the sky is slightly bright, looking back, the West Mountain has been revealed, the mountain is full of snow and black stones, but there is no slightest poetic feeling, but it seems desolate, there is not an ambush in the mountain, you are coming out.

Hahaha...... Looking at the western mountains, Dolgon sneered wantonly.

"Report to the prince, the enemy is attacking the camp!" At this moment, there was an urgent report from the spies, and Dolgon was almost choked to death by himself, and raised his leg and kicked the herald away, angrily reprimanding: "What enemy attacked the camp, where did the enemy army come from......"

Having said that, I raised my eyes and looked at the camp in the north of the country, and sure enough, I found a clue, the camp that was already brightly lit, at this time, it seemed that the fire was even worse, no, the camp was burned?

The generals were shocked, and Dolgon shouted angrily: "Where did the enemy come from, and how many men and horses?" ”

There are more than 500 of them, as if they came from the West Mountain......

Praying mantis catches cicadas and yellow finches in the back!!

The ambush soldiers in Xishan actually took advantage of their siege of Ningyuan City to secretly attack the camp from behind, Dolgon was not to mention more angry, more frightened, who was the person leading the troops in the mountain, how could he be so cunning! Surrounded by an army, this kind of courage is also admirable!

The danger of military travel is naturally the favorite thing of the little eunuch.

Watching the Qing army besieging Ningyuan City in the mountains, did he really let him stand by and watch?

Concubines can't do it!

It is impossible to go out of the mountain**, since Dolgon dares to expose his back and go to the siege seemingly defenselessly, how can he not leave a backup move, how can he not ambush the killer!

So at the beginning, Chang Yu could only stand by and watch, and seeing that the Qing army was in full swing, he couldn't help.

Just moments later, he spotted the fighter!

The Qing army besieged the city on three sides, mobilized nearly 100,000 troops, and all the artillery was out, so wouldn't his camp be empty at this time!
