Chapter 458: Attack on the Qing camp

On the third watch day, Runing City under the darkness did not show the slightest abnormality.

From time to time there was a group of soldiers passing through the city, carrying torches, as usual.

Near the treasury in the palace of King Chong in Runing City, nearly 300 elite soldiers changed into Qing army clothes and armor and lined up in a neat formation.

These three hundred people are the elite carefully selected by Bai Wenxuan, mainly the elite of the Xuanfeng battalion, as well as a few of his own soldiers, and three ordinary soldiers who are familiar with the terrain of the cannon foundry, as well as Wang Yingzhen and two soldiers who can speak Manchu and Mongolian.

At this time, the soldiers were ready, and Yi Daosan, the commander of the front battalion, walked in front of the subordinates who stood in a queue, checked the clothes and armor of each soldier, as well as the earth-shaking thunder, flint, waist knife and other items they carried, and then patted the soldier's shoulder, and the soldier put his legs together, saluted, and hurried into the dark tunnel.

Outside the city, in the Qing army camp, Duoduo was a little tired after a busy day, so he turned around and entered the room, lay down on a large bed, he covered with a tiger skin, and slowly fell asleep.

At this time, the Qing army camp was shrouded in dark night, only sporadic torches were not burned, the flames were flickering, and there was silence all around.

The Qing army camp in the northern suburbs was stationed with 20,000 Qing troops, and there were more than 20,000 people captured outside the Qing army camp.

At this time, the third watch has passed, the camp of the captives is dark, the camp of the Qing army is close to Runing, you can see it from time to time, a fire snake patrolling the edge of the camp, it seems to be well defended, but the north side of the camp is dark, and the soldiers have already fallen asleep.

At this moment, behind a small hill in the northeast of the Qing army camp, a wooden plank covered with dirt was pushed away, Yi Daosan came out of the dark hole, his alert eyes flashed, he glanced around, and then whispered: "Come out!" ”

One after another, black shadows came out of the tunnel, the soldiers of the Xuanfeng battalion were fine, Bai Wenxuan and the others walked such a long tunnel, it can be said that they were frightened.

"How to get there?" Yi Daosan saw Bai Wen selected, and his eyes looked at the shadow of the Qing army camp in the distance.

Bai Wenxuan took a look, and saw that in the Qing army camp, the torch was flickering in the south, the fire snake was swimming, but the north was pitch black.

Duoduo focused his attention on the direction of the city, not noticing what was going on behind it.

Of course, this can't be blamed on Duoduo, he has already sent people to monitor the four gates of Ruzhou, and it is impossible for the Wei Wu army to go out of the city under the strict supervision of the Qing army, so the Qing army naturally does not need to pay too much attention to the north.

Duoduo would never have thought that Chongwang's turtle grandson would dig a tunnel to escape, so that there was a fatal loophole in his surveillance of Runing.

"According to what the commander said, go east first, detour to the north of the Tartar camp, and then follow the bank of the Rushui River and touch the Tartar camp." Bai Wenxuan licked his lips and immediately broke off.

The three hundred soldiers formed a little group, and by the light of the moon, they walked forward one foot deep and one foot shallow, and in a short time they reached the edge of the water.

In winter, the water level of Rushui was low, and after freezing, it formed a sloping beach with a drop of five or six feet high from the riverbank, and three hundred soldiers marched on the riverbank, and after a while, they touched the wall of the Qing army.

Yi Daosan raised a hand and signaled the soldiers behind him to stop, he climbed up to the river beach, showed his head and looked at it for a while, and sneered: "It's bad luck for the Tartar!" ”

As soon as he said that, Bai Wenxuan, who was lying on the river beach, immediately turned his head and ordered in a low voice: "Go!" ”

Several soldiers of the Xuanfeng battalion drew their short axes from their waists, grabbed a handful of dirt on the river beach, and smeared it on the blade of the axe to prevent the reflection of the moonlight.

Bai Wenxuan's eyes narrowed, and he couldn't help but secretly say in his heart, "It's really fucking professional, success or failure is sometimes these details!" ”

The soldier who drew his axe quickly climbed up the river beach, and in a short time, a gap was made in the wall of the Qing army.

Bai Wenxuan hurriedly climbed onto the river beach and saw two corpses of Qing soldiers on the ground, both of which had their throats cut, and he couldn't help but be shocked.

He moved his throat, and then said in a low voice: "Let's go separately, I'll go to the bombing workshop, and you arrange for people to destroy the baggage, and there is also a response." In two quarters of an hour, I will do it first, and as soon as the explosion sounds, you will do it together, but if it is more than two quarters of an hour and I have not done it, you will go your separate ways. ”

Yi Daosan nodded, and most of the three hundred black shadows stayed on the river beach to respond, and the rest of the people divided into several groups and quietly infiltrated the Qing army camp.

The large camp of the Qing army of tens of thousands of people is easy to be exposed and inconvenient to move, so Bai Wenxuan only brought twenty soldiers, of which twelve are a killer team of the Xuanfeng battalion, and the rest are a guide, six personal soldiers, and one is Wang Yingzhen.

Twenty people marched forward in the silent camp of the Qing army, and in a short time, they reached a side gate of the cannon casting workshop.

This is already an important area of the Qing army's camp, and the Qing army on duty at night has begun to increase.

At this time, under the leadership of the guide, the group came to a workshop, and saw two Qing soldiers, one on the left and one on the right, leaning in front of the door, and the twelve soldiers of the Xuanfeng battalion were immediately divided into left and right and quietly outflanked them.

The two soldiers took out their crossbows, took out the quenched arrows, and shot out with a "whoosh", and the two Qing soldiers were weak and had not yet fallen, but they were caught by the soldiers who pounced on them, covered their mouths, and slammed the knife into their chests, until they were not alive, the corpses were gently put down, and finally dragged behind the wall.

At this time, several other soldiers sneaked into the workshop, leaned against a room at the door, and the first person leaned on the window to look at it, and made a gesture to signal that there was someone inside.

One of the soldiers immediately took out a kind of incense, lit it, blew it inside, waited for a while, then gently removed the deadbolt with his knife, and then touched it lightly.

After a while, the team leader came out and said in a low voice: "The night number is thirty, and the city is broken." ”

Bai Wenxuan nodded, told the two soldiers to keep watch at their mouths, and asked the guide, "Where are the explosives buried?" ”

"In the East Courtyard!" The guide was visibly nervous, and his legs were shaking.

Bai Wenxuan didn't dare to delay, and immediately waved his hand and led everyone to the east courtyard.

Suddenly, a fiery snake swam in front of them, and everyone hurriedly retreated into a narrow alley, looking at a group of tartars wearing red armor, swimming by.

After escaping this Qing army, everyone followed the root of the wall and finally came to the east courtyard and found the priming line hidden in the corner.

At this time, the soldier opened it and found that a large section had been damp and could not be ignited.

Bai Wenxuan hurriedly asked people to dismantle a few earth-shattering thunders, cut off a lead wire wrapped in cotton cloth oiled paper, cut off the damp part, and then directly sprinkled gunpowder to connect it, sprinkled a long primer line, and then ignited.

The primer of "Xiu Xiu" was burning, and it quickly rushed into the corner of the wall, Bai Wenxuan and the others squatted down together, and after half a sound, "Boom!" Rumble! Rumble! The explosion was like a thunderbolt from the sky exploding in the ears, and the flames of the entire eastern courtyard rose into the sky, and countless stumps and broken arms fell like hailstones, and many of them flew out of the courtyard wall.

Nearly 100 houses in the east courtyard were all caught in flames in an instant.

The silence of the Qing army's camp was broken in an instant, and the explosions one after another exploded one after another, and the camp was on fire.

Duoduo was so startled that he suddenly jumped out of bed, and when he walked out of the room, he heard an uproar in the camp, people shouting and horses neighing, and a large number of disheveled Qing troops running out of the barracks.

"Run! Gao Yihuan has robbed the camp! We're defeated! "The soldiers of the Xuanfeng battalion wearing the clothes of the Qing army were fishing in troubled waters in the camp.

While lighting the fire, several soldiers rushed to the edge of the stable, opened the cattle pen, and threw a few earth-shattering thunderbolts into it, and the frightened horses rushed out and trampled in all directions in the camp.

Bai Wenxuan and his party ignited the explosives, and almost the entire eastern courtyard was blown away, which was originally the dormitory of the officials and craftsmen of the cannon foundry, but now all of them were in flames.

After everyone succeeded, they hurriedly retreated, and suddenly saw several Qing soldiers on the opposite side, protecting a general with a fat head and big ears, a bare head, disheveled, wearing red armor, and an iron helmet with a lightning rod in his hand.

Bai Wenxuan's eyes suddenly lit up, and suddenly he shouted, "Kill!" ”

The soldiers of the Feng battalion raised their crossbows and fired, swishing a few arrows, several Qing soldiers were caught off guard and fell down in response, scaring the Qing generals like chickens~
