Chapter Eighty-Seven: Luo Dai's Fight II

Luo Dai could only sigh leisurely and said, "Okay, this matter will be handed over to you." ”

Ma Sanbao was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, General Luo." ”

Luo Dai said: "However, do you know what the focus is this time? ”

Ma Sanbao said: "Please give the general guidance." ”

Luo Dai said: "In the granary. ”

"The Qing army has more than 100,000 people, and all the grain and grass rely on Nanyang City. We have only 20,000 horses, and even if we occupy Nanyang City, we can't hold it. But as long as a fire burns the grain and grass in Nanyang, the Qing army has only one way to retreat. ”

"Therefore, after entering the city, he burned grain and grass at all costs."

Ma Sanbao said loudly: "Yes." ”

It's just that while agreeing, a thought suddenly came to him in his heart, and he said secretly: "I'm afraid the gentry of Nanyang City don't want this ending." ”

In the communication with the Nanyang gentry, Luo Dai did not mean to hide from Ma Sanbao, in Luo Dai's opinion, it was not a big deal. Therefore, Ma Sanbao knew very well what the Nanyang gentry thought, they couldn't stand the oppression of the Qing army.

And Luo Dai burned the granary and left, and the local gentry in Nanyang were afraid that they would suffer even more terrifying retaliation.

Ma Sanbao immediately restrained his thoughts and stopped thinking about this.

Maybe in the face of victory, nothing matters. The Nanyang gentry probably wouldn't have thought that they would send it to the door to be used as a bargaining chip, or throw away the toilet paper when they run out.

In troubled times, maybe it can be used as a bargaining chip, which is still a good result. After all, it is still useful, if it is useless, their fate will be even more miserable.

In this way, Luo Dai discussed, Ma Sanbao entered Nanyang City as the first wave, and Luo Dai pressed the formation behind. Just tonight, there was an internal response and entered Nanyang City.

There seems to be an invisible hand turning the sun and the moon, and time is like quicksand, pouring into an hourglass. Soon it will be the time for the stars to fade and retreat.

The time is just around the corner.

Outside Nanyang City, Ma Sanbao walked in the forefront.

He did not ride a horse, but walked slowly with hundreds of soldiers.

Nanyang City does not have a moat, some are just a moat. It's just that the Qing army is not unprepared at all, and outside the city, every few dozen steps, a large number of bonfires are lit to illuminate the outside of the city. It's just that the only thing they missed was that in the defense of the city, there were many Nanyang locals, either recruited soldiers, or people's husbands.

The reason for this is that Tunqi does not feel that the Han people in Nanyang City have the courage to betray. Second, the troops in Tunqi's hands are a little nervous. At this time, irrelevant things can be left to these locals to do.

Of course, Tunqi didn't believe them that way.

Important places are still guarded by the Qin army or the soldiers of the Eight Banners.

It's just that they don't know that what they think is not important is not necessarily unimportant.

"Is this it?" Ma Sanbao hid in the darkness, his eyes swept over this section of the city wall like a torch, and said, "Didn't you say that someone came to welcome me into the city?" Where are the people, and where do we enter the city from? ”

Ma Sanbao saw that the city wall was lost, and where was the city gate.

"Please rest assured, as long as you wait patiently for a while." The guide said.

Ma Sanbao forcibly pressed his mind, calmed himself down, and continued to wait.

Not far behind Ma Sanbao, the Xia soldiers and horses, divided into a team of 100 people, were all ready, just waiting for Ma Sanbao to give an order, and immediately rushed to the city, and after these people, Luo Dai took more than 10,000 cavalry, secretly sharpened his minions, and waited for the final blow to come.

Suddenly, there seemed to be some noise coming from the quiet night, Ma Sanbao was so concentrated that his nerves were tightened, and he easily noticed this sound, which came from the city wall. Although Ma Sanbao didn't know what these voices were about, he felt it. He wasn't the only one who discovered the voice.

"What sound?" Ma Sanbao heard someone in the city from afar: "I don't know." ”

A few patrolling soldiers met at the head of the city, and they seemed to be confused.

"Boom." With a bang, the walls of the city burst open.

No, it wasn't the hole that opened, but the wall that opened a door in the middle.

"It's a secret door." Ma Sanbao instantly understood how the gentry of Nanyang accepted him into the city.

He didn't dare how this secret door appeared, so he immediately got up and shouted, rushed over, and shouted, "Kill." ”

He rushed out of the darkness, over the orange bonfire, dragging the long shadow into a push. Climb over the moat without water and rush into the secret door.

At this moment, Ma Sanbao instantly raised his vigilance. He didn't fully trust the Nanyang gentry, so he was worried that there was fraud in it.

He broke into the secret door, his eyes turned from light to dark, and his pupils shrank slightly. After a while, I could see everything in front of me.

Judging by the architectural style here, it should have not been opened for a long time. Almost the big man was shirtless, carrying lanterns to illuminate the doorways of the secret door.

"There should be no ambush." Ma Sanbao judged at the first time.

It's just that even so, he didn't dare to take it lightly, and with a wave of his hand, he let the soldiers under his command control this secret door.

His judgment was good, this secret gate was actually built during the Hongwu period, and it was one with this city wall.

When it was first built, it was a military secret of Nanyang City, but time will let all the secrets leak out, and then after a long period of peace, this place will become a secret that is not a secret. It was supposed to be under the care of the soldiers who defended the city.

But with the virtue of the Ming Dynasty guard, it would be good to be optimistic about the city gate.

Therefore, the prefect of Nanyang ordered that this was sealed.

Of course, the prefect ordered it to be blocked. No one knows what his original intention was, but when the official was executed, a layer of mud was pasted on top of the secret door, and it was just a fool.

It's just time that makes everything a secret.

It was originally a foolish thing, but after a few decades, two or three generations, most of them have forgotten that there is a secret door here.

Of course, this is only for most people, some literati and scholars, in their own notes, also write down, but also the original interesting things to talk about. The Qing army came from afar, and it was already good to be able to control Nanyang City for a while, as for these subtleties, some locals didn't know, how could Tunqi know?

When he was about to fight, Ma Sanbao never thought about it so much. After he sent people to guard the secret door, he immediately took dozens of soldiers in armor, took a deep breath, and rushed into the secret door into Nanyang City.

At this time, many people in Nanyang City already knew about it.

He rushed directly into the secret door from the city, and there was no concealment at all, and he was clearly seen by the city head, not to mention that the Xia army was about to pass through this passage and rush into the city, as long as the soldiers at the city head were not blind. Just see it clearly.

It's just that some Nanyang locals above the city have defected.

For a while, the two sides were killed.

Of course, it was the Qin army that had the upper hand.

Most of the Northwest Green Battalion soldiers of the Qing army were Qin troops of the former Ming Dynasty. And the army in the northwest seems to have a kind of ruthlessness, that is, they don't take such a life seriously, nor do they take other people's lives seriously, and they are experienced, and their families are in the hands of Meng Qiaofang.

It seems to be a grace, that is, Meng Qiaofang feels that they are out on the expedition to prevent being bullied, and they are all under Meng Qiaofang's care, and they will never let people be wronged.

But how could they not know what was going on?

It's okay for them to die in battle, but once they surrender, it will be a catastrophe for their families.

In addition, the Qin army has rich combat experience, and the people and horses that the locals of Nanyang have just trained are their opponents.

However, Ma Sanbao is not a person to be slaughtered, his first goal is to be above the city. As long as this section of the city wall is occupied, the passage connection of this secret door can be maintained. Therefore, Ma Sanbao rushed to kill with dozens of people.

Just ignore it, and kill it stubbornly. The Qin army still had a desperate heart in the face of Ma Sanbao, but they didn't have the strength to fight hard, no matter how desperate they were, they were all killed by Ma Sanbao with three knives and two knives.
