Rao is Xu Changqing has made countless deductions about the strategic plan of the Qing army, and he basically has some numbers, but he never expected that the Qing army would actually play 'missing' in the central and southern regions of Shandong......

This made Xu Changqing's cold sweat come out of his heart!

Where did the main force of the Qing army go?

At this time, although spring is about to begin, but in the central and southern parts of Shandong, even further south, the water in the rivers and lakes has not thawed, and the real thaw will be at least the end of February, or even the middle of March.

This also means that in this vast northern country, the main force of the Qing army does not need to consider the obstacles caused by rivers and lakes at all, and it is completely flat and flat, allowing their iron horses to gallop......

In the next few days, Xu Changqing vigorously reorganized the army and made full preparations for the expedition, and at the same time carefully discussed with Li Yan and others to search for information from all sides.

However, the Qing army created a large number of no-man's land in central and southern Shandong, and it happened that there was snow there during this time, so Wu Sanfu's shrewdness could not find any traces of the Qing army for a while.

Tens of thousands of the main forces of the Qing army, including hundreds of thousands of people and countless goods, seemed to have disappeared in the Ming Dynasty......

……

On the morning of February 19.

Just when Xu Changqing was about to send a thousand corps to Qingzhou to temporarily stabilize the security of Qingzhou.

Near the Lugou Bridge in the southwest of Jingshi City, there was a sudden earth-shattering sound of horses' hooves!

"Tartar!"

"It's the Tartars coming! My dear mother, it's really a Tartar here. ”

"Ah, run, the Tartars are coming......"

"Help, help......"

I don't know which sharp eye, the first one noticed that something was wrong, and ran away, even if it caused a chain reaction.

Countless people around them are like lost dogs, fleeing for their lives, some fleeing to the mountains, some fleeing to the dense forest, and countless people are like headless flies, they can only keep their heads down and bump blindly, they don't know where to run at all, and they don't have time to take care of their humble belongings.

Because the Tatars that went deep into Baoding before have entered Xuanfu Town, and the Tatars near the capital have been staying in Tongzhou City, and there is not much action, not like there is a sense of chaos, and the surrounding residents who fled have also returned home one after another, preparing for this year's spring ploughing.

For a while, within a range of dozens of miles, smoke and dust splashed and horses' hooves roared, as if the demon king had descended into the world.

……

The Forbidden City, the Imperial Palace.

Today is the dynasty, and a group of bigwigs are spitting on the stars, studying how to solve the problem of customs clearance.

Emperor Chongzhen had a cold face, did not say a word, and waited for the result.

"Newspaper—"

"Report - urgent military situation, urgent military situation, the main force of the Tartars has come to the city of the Beijing Division, and the Beijing Division has been surrounded."

At this time, suddenly a little eunuch shouted with a sharp voice, rushed over, and shouted for his life.

"What?"

The Imperial Palace, which was originally listening to a drama, was suddenly agitated, and everyone couldn't sit still.

How is this possible?

Didn't the main force of the Qing army fight Qufu in Shandong? How did you come to the capital?

Emperor Chongzhen was also stunned, stood up violently, glared at the little eunuch and said, "Dog slave maid, if you dare to talk nonsense again, I will punish your nine clans!" ”

Emperor Chongzhen really couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, and it broke out in the great court.

"Bang ......"

The little eunuch kowtowed desperately: "Emperor, the slave and maid are not half a lie." This is the news from General Fu of the Shenji Battalion, I heard that the Tartars have set up a large camp outside the Guangqu Gate and Chaoyang Gate. ”

"This ......"

Emperor Chongzhen was choked, and only reacted after a moment: "Quick, pass on General Fu, forget it, Wang Banban, you go in person, immediately go to Guangqu Gate and Chaoyang Gate to check the situation." ”

……

"Drive, drive!"

Not long after, Wang Chengen hurriedly rode his horse to Chaoyangmen, and as soon as he climbed to the top of the city panting, he was stunned, and his legs and stomach began to tremble uncontrollably.

I saw that outside the originally wide Chaoyang Gate, there were dense banner tents everywhere, stretching into patches, and there was no end in sight at a glance.

There are also countless ordinary people who have been driven forward by the Tartars, constantly piling up the breastwork, and some seem to be ready to start filling in the fortifications outside the walls.

Because of the particularity of the location of the Beijing Division, whether it is the Mongolian Tartars or the Manchurian Tartars, they have been here several times, and at this time there are Tartar garrisons left in Tongzhou, so the fortifications on the side of the Beijing Division are still very good.

However, no matter how good the fortifications are, looking at this black and oppressive crowd, who can stand it?

The deputy general of the Beijing camp on duty here still has some experience, and hurriedly explained to Wang Chengen with a sad face: "Prince, this is the main force of the Tartar Red Flag and the Red Flag, and there is also the Tartar Wang Banner over there." This, this is the Tartar prince Daishan also came in person. ”

“……”

Wang Chengen wanted to say something, but his throat moved several times, but he just couldn't say it.

During the previous Huang Taiji period, the Qing army also had the experience of besieging the capital, however, the Qing army did not have many troops at that time, and it was a complete demonstration, but at this time, the camp of the two red flags could not see the head at all......

After a while, Wang Chenen came back to his senses, and said with some trembling: "Vice General Liu, how many of these Tartars are there?" ”

Vice General Liu was about to cry, "Prince, the main force of these two red flags is at least nearly 20,000 people, not counting the Han army flags on both wings, if they all add up, I'm afraid, it will exceed 30,000!" ”

"What? This ......"

Wang Chengen's head was crooked, and he almost fell to the ground in fright, and suddenly there was a burst of chickens and dogs jumping around.

In fact, there are not so many people in the two red flags, if there are really more than 10,000 flags, it is not enough to hollow out the foundation of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, unless even the girls are counted.

But Vice General Liu's algorithm is not wrong, he estimated it based on the number of flags and camp tents, and the accuracy rate was more than seventy percent.

However, what he is facing is the old fritter of Dai Shan, the old fritter!

Since they slipped this trick in Jining and Qufu, they have become addicted, and the scale of the two red flag battle arrays seems to be huge at this time, but in fact, the real number of people is only about 167,000, in order to cause greater psychological pressure on the Jingshi.

After a while, Wang Chengen eased up a little, but he didn't dare to slack off, and said with difficulty: "Hurry, go to Guangqumen." ”

Soon, the group arrived outside the Guangqu Gate.

But Rao is Wang Chengen has already been mentally prepared, and when Mu Ran saw the situation in front of him, he almost rolled his eyes again.

The scale of the battle formation of the Qing army outside the Guangqu Gate was several times larger than that outside the Chaoyang Gate, and the continuous banners and camp tents could stretch for five or six miles alone, almost covering the east wall of the Beijing Division.

In front of the battle array, there are many royal flags, and there are thousands of elite cavalry lined up on the battlefield, all of them are fierce uniforms, and the weapons also reflect the cold of the forest from time to time, turning this murderous aura from invisible to tangible, making people breathless at all.

And under the banner in front of these elite horses, there are dozens of colorful and well-dressed people in fine armor, surrounded by a man in white armor and golden helmets, pointing in the direction of the capital.

General Fu, who was guarding here, was scared to pee in his pants, and explained to Wang Chengen with a bitter face: "Prince, the man with white armor and golden helmet is the current regent of the Manchu Dynasty, Dolgon!" There are more than 100,000 of them, and the dog Tartar is trying to play with us......"

……

Wang Chengen didn't know how to get back to the palace, until he arrived outside the Imperial Palace, he came back to his senses a little, and hurriedly reported what he saw in detail.

"Ten, the main force of the Qing army of more than 100,000?"

When the news was spoken, the temple instantly exploded.

Emperor Chongzhen, who has always claimed to be the son of the Holy Tomorrow, turned even more pale with his little face.

At this time, he suddenly discovered that if Qufu was lost, it would be lost, which was better than the Tartars besieging the capital......

Qufu is lost, even if he is scolded and his prestige is damaged, at least he still controls the general trend, but ...... If the capital is lost......

Emperor Chongzhen couldn't dare to think about that kind of consequence anymore......

In such a state, the court will still have a chicken feather?

Fortunately, Emperor Chongzhen had more than thirty people, and there was still a trace of the city government, so he didn't rush it, so he asked the big men to go to Guangqumen and Chaoyangmen to see the specific situation, and then come back to discuss it specifically.

……

"Dog minion, who dares to be lazy, this is the end! Hurry up and fuck your master! ”

Outside the Guangqu Gate.

Thousands of Han Chinese slaves have already begun to fill in the soil, and the black pressure is like ants moving.

Although Guangqu Gate is the outer city gate, it is the core artery in and out of the east of Jingshi.

It is mainly divided into the inner city and the outer city.

Although the inner city will be exposed if the city wall is broken, the craftsman has long taken this into account when designing, such as Chaoyang Gate and Dongzhi Gate, except for the city gate area, there are a large number of traps and obstacles around, not to mention wartime, even in peacetime, it is difficult for the army to break through for a while.

Although the Guangqumen side is similar, the terrain is much wider because it is the main traffic artery.

The Qing army is obviously the layout of the deep Beijing division.

In the shouting and shouting of many Tartars, the fortifications of the Qing army have reached a certain scale, and at this time, a group of bigwigs, including Shoufu Zhou Yanru, have also arrived.

"This, this is ......"

But these of them are not much better than Wang Chengen who does not carry a handle, and as soon as they see the scene in front of them, there are a few old and bad hearts, and they will directly turn their backs.

Zhou Yanru was also trembling, and wanted to say something, but he couldn't say a word.

Speaking of which, although Zhou Yanru is the first assistant, he really wants to thank Xu Changqing.

If it weren't for Xu Changqing's southern expedition to the north in the past two years, first breaking the situation of Songjin and then breaking the situation of Kaifeng in the Central Plains, the throne under his ass would have been replaced a long time ago.

Just when the bigwigs were at a loss, outside the city, the people of Dorgon were also coldly observing the movements of the city.

They are quite savvy.

It is a little more than two miles away from Guangqu Gate, which can make the Ming army on the city feel their existence, but the cannons on the city can't bombard them, and it is completely Chiguoguo who tramples the entire Ming face under his feet.

"Master, look, those people should be the members of the Ming Cabinet."

Bai Yintu relied on his good eyesight, and was busy laughing, guiding the figure of Zhou Yanru and others at the head of the city for Dolgon.

I have to say that Dolgon is a hero, both courage and means, it can be called a textbook.

Outside Yanzhou City, in that almost the most difficult predicament, he forced himself to reach a compromise with Dai Shan and Jierharang, and quickly stabilized the somewhat shaky situation of the Qing army.

And this way sneaked to the capital, they not only gained a lot, but also let the main force regain their confidence.

Dolgon smiled faintly: "This Jingshi City is a good place!" ”

As he spoke, he looked at Zilharang.

Zilharang couldn't help but smile: "Regent, since the officials of the Ming Court have arrived, we should also add some food to them, right?" ”

Dolgon laughed and said in a high spirit, "Let the obedient king show his hand!" ”

"Wow!"

As the order quickly passed through.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

A moment later, not far behind Dolgon and the others, a stirring artillery roar suddenly sounded, and suddenly five or six cannonballs smashed directly on the city wall not far in front of Zhou Yanru and them, causing a violent shock, and the masonry splashed, which instantly made the city head a rooster and a dog jumping and howling.
