The cannon sound at the head of the city sounded here, and Tuhai cursed in Manchu: "Send people to the West City Gate immediately, let them understand that we are their own people!" ”

Tu Hai can't bear it here, let alone the soldiers under him, whoever is bombarded by his own artillery will not be able to stand it, not only physical destruction, but also morale blows.

Meng Ke didn't dare to rush too hard, the artillery had no eyes, and if he was hit by the artillery behind him, he would die unjustly.

The people of the sweeping army began to take out the hand crossbow on their waists, and shot at the opposite side, this thing was originally configured by Jinyiwei, and then Cheng Xiaolian used it smoothly, so he equipped all the crossbow arrows in the army, and at this time it reflected the power, in the street fighting, there was nowhere to hide, dozens of people shot crossbow arrows in a row, and the opposite row of people had to fall, there were artillery on the head, and there were crossbow arrows in front, and the momentum of the Tu Navy was instantly suppressed.

If Cheng Xiaolian had 5,000 troops in his hands now, he would definitely drive straight into it and take the head of Tuhai, but he only had a few hundred people under him, and once the people in the city reacted, they would immediately become turtles in the urn.

So Cheng Xiaolian waved his hand: "Withdraw out of the city, we have figured out the details of the city, and we have turned them upside down, and when the army arrives, we can fight." ”

In fact, Cheng Xiaolian was still a little lucky, such as when he was fighting in the dark, what if he shot Tu Hai, such as what if he killed Tu Hai with an artillery bolt just now?

But God didn't open it to him after all, Tu Hai was alive and well, so he could only retreat: "Lord Zhou, are your family members all around." ”

"Bring them all out."

"Well, get out of the city, but set them on fire before you go out."

So they found some firewood in the house next to them, piled it up quite high under the city gate, lit a fire, and then withdrew from Xi'an City.

The soldiers above the West City Gate are stupid, they have been helping the Northern Sweeping Army to fight, at this time they finally understood, they were fooled, and before the soldiers could regret it, Baturu shouted: "Don't let go of these traitors!" ”

He knew very well that as long as he killed all these people, it would be possible to atone for his crimes, otherwise he would be a general today.

At this time, the sky gradually brightened, Cheng Xiaolian and they went out of the city, and immediately began to run into the distance, although the archers on the city were desperately releasing arrows, but after all, this was an escape, not a siege, so the number of people shot was very limited.

Cheng Xiaolian and the others ran out of the city for a long time, and Tuhai did not send anyone to chase them out, first, the west city gate was burning with a raging fire, and secondly, Tuhai did not know their details, so naturally he did not dare to pursue rashly.

Jia Xu gasped and laughed loudly: "Hahaha, Your Highness, we can be regarded as the bottom of the kettle, right?" ”

Cheng Xiaolian nodded: "That's right, when the time comes, it will be much easier to attack the city, Xi'an City is now half of the city has run away, even if Tuhai wants to hold on, it is not so easy." And we have also seen that they are not in harmony with the people of Xi'an, and if they are not on his side, this battle will be difficult to fight. ”

Meng Ke took a big sip of water: "Grandma, I've been suffocated to death these days, I can't get out of a single step while hiding in a firewood room, I really want to go back and chisel Tuhai's skull with a big hammer." ”

Cheng Xiaolian laughed: "Okay, let's go back immediately to mobilize troops and horses, and take Xi'an City when we come back." ”

Zhou Fumin laughed: "Isn't there no good candidate for this Xi'an prefect?" I don't think this matter bothers the two masters, so it's better to let me continue to do it. ”

Cheng Xiaolian laughed: "You saved Wang Jiyong this time, they are considered to have made a great contribution, and the little Xi'an prefect is satisfied?" ”

Everyone turned their heads to look again, only to see Wang Jiyong's gloomy face, and Cheng Xiaolian was stunned for a moment: "What's wrong with General Wang?" ”

"Thinking that my people in Shaanxi are living such a life that is inferior to pigs and dogs under the rule of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, I can't wait to bring people over and kill them all immediately."

Yang Youcai patted him on the shoulder: "I haven't said anything if I was slapped with a big mouth, we really want to make them pay for their blood debts, but the battle has to be fought slowly, don't be like eating a fat man in one go, Tuhai is not a simple character, if it weren't for his right tune, so many of our strategies in Xi'an City would not have failed, and now Xi'an City has fallen into our hands." ”

Cheng Xiaolian nodded: "Yang Youcai is right, if we want to deal with Tuhai, we can't look down on him, otherwise it will be easy for him to kill a horseman, and then we will be uncomfortable." ”

Everyone gathered the army, but they did not rush back to Fengxiang Mansion, Yang Youcai also sent someone to send the news, and Huangfu Tong over there rushed over with the sweeping army.

Tuhai has ordered to block the main road outside Xi'an City, and sent a large army to patrol, what he wants to do is to block them here, he didn't see how many people there were in the night, but he quickly reacted, these people absolutely can't have many people, otherwise take advantage of the dark night plus those confused soldiers at the head of the city, they have already taken Xi'an City.

Batulu was taken down as early as when Tuhai was cleaning up the battlefield, and he had nothing to say, as I said earlier, basically all the generals of the Manchu Qing Dynasty admired Tuhai, so what Tuhai had to do, they were willing to be punished.

Tuhai asked a few words and then let Baturu go: "You can't blame you for this matter, if someone else stands in your position, it may not do better than you." ”

Thinking of this, he sighed: "Ben Shuai also did something wrong this time, if he was punished, he should be the first, if I didn't attack the prefect's yamen, Zhou Fumin wouldn't necessarily be able to detect that I had discovered his tricks, and they wouldn't be able to cooperate with the outside, and there would be no first defeat." If I hadn't been overconfident, I wouldn't have believed in a traitor who took the initiative to surrender, and I wouldn't have lost the token to lead to this defeat, so the blame is all on me, don't worry, I will confess when the results of this battle are counted. ”

All the generals knelt on the ground: "We are willing to share the responsibility with the commander!" ”

Tuhai smiled: "Your heart is good, although this matter is not to blame you, but you also have to eat a trench and grow wise, you must think twice before you encounter things in the future, just like me, if you kill that skin dwarf for the first time, where are so many changes?" ”

After counting the results of the battle, Tu Hai really made an excerpt to ask for his guilt, asking Kangxi to demote the official to punish him for his guilt.

Kangxi was of course a little anxious after receiving the excerpt, he was still a young man, and he was naturally a little angry when he saw the failure, but he soon calmed down his anger, ordered to reward Tuhai for fighting hard outside, and rewarded him with 3,000 taels of silver, hoping that he would make persistent efforts to exterminate the rebels of the former Ming Dynasty and recover Shaanxi.
