Before, in order to defend against the offensive of the Houjin army, the north, east and west gates of Fuzhou City were sealed, only the south gate, because it is connected to the south of the mouth, is the lifeline of materials, the city gate can be opened freely, but inside, it is also full of thorny fortifications. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

At this time, he had already noticed the abnormal state of the Houjin army, and Li Yuanqing did not dare to be conservative anymore, so he hurriedly sent all of Liu Dadou's scout team out.

At this time, the Changsheng camp had nearly 300 horses, and the scouts used most of them, nearly 200.

However, because of the disadvantage of the congenital conditions, there were only less than 100 people in the Changsheng Camp, but fortunately, there were nearly 100 people under Chen Zhong's command.

Combined, the size of the cavalry of 200 people is not small.

Moreover, the scout team is the elite of the two elites, and they are very experienced in the military, with at least 3 years of military experience.

Soon, the south gate opened, and more than 200 scouts rushed out of the city like the wind, and quickly converged on the east and north gates.

The ditches and river fortifications of the Ming army have long been bulldozed by the Later Jin army.

The horses of the two scouts galloped around the city wall, and the Tartar scouts in the distance were afraid of the Ming army's bird guns, and did not dare to come too forward.

In a short time, more than 100 Ming army scouts had gathered outside the north gate, and they relied on the defense of the city and surrounded the fortifications of the Houjin army, constantly harassing them.

In front of the north gate, Houjin's scouts were obviously starting to get impatient, and hurriedly gathered around this side, and soon gathered two or three hundred people.

They constantly suppressed the space of the Ming army's scouts, and never dared to let them go too far from the city.

For a time, you and I came on both sides, arrows rained sideways, and birds chirped in unison.

Seeing that the main force of Houjin did not attack the city, Wei Liang and Zhang Qiliang also had the courage to come to the city to watch the battle.

After all, the two of them are prison guards, and it is not a problem for them to hide in the city gate building all the time.

In addition, the Ming army won the battle yesterday, Wei Liang and Zhang Qiliang also had confidence in Li Yuanqing, and they knew that Li Yuanqing would definitely maintain their safety.

At this time, observing the battle between the Ming army scouts and the Houjin scouts at such a close distance, both of them were a little shocked.

Wei Liang said: "General Li, here, there are many Tartars, and our sons and daughters will suffer." ”

Li Yuanqing suddenly smiled, "Father-in-law, the Tartars don't dare to come down to the city." Our sons and daughters can't fight and can go back, and it's okay for the time being. ”

"Huh?"

Wei Liang also understood what Li Yuanqing meant, and relaxed slightly.

The time had come to noon, and the Houjin side was obviously more impatient, so they couldn't wait to rush directly to the city and kill these Ming army scouts.

The firefighters had already begun to prepare lunch, and the smell of hot meat filled the air.

At this time, Li Yuanqing had basically confirmed his judgment, and the main force of Houjin was probably not in the camp.

"Big brother, in the late afternoon, I am going to go out of the city to fight and fight a decisive battle with Houjin." Wei Liang and Zhang Qiliang did not leave, Li Yuanqing found a free time and told Chen Zhong what he thought.

"Huh? Yuanqing, why? ”

Chen Zhong couldn't help but be shocked, and hurriedly asked Li Yuanqing in a low voice.

Li Yuanqing sneered slightly, and briefly recounted his inference to Chen Zhong.

Chen Zhong is a general, when Li Yuanqing understands, how can he not see through the overall situation?

In an instant, the cold sweat had soaked his back, and he patted his head hard, "Yuanqing, this, this shit." How did I not think of it? Huang Taiji, this dog is a mess, how can he easily admit defeat? Yuanqing, you have to do it. I have no opinion. ”

Li Yuanqing nodded heavily, waved his hand to Kong Youde, and whispered a few words in a low voice.

Kong Youde's eyes couldn't help but light up, he nodded heavily, and said in a low voice: "General, I will take someone to do it." ”

Li Yuanqing slowly exhaled a long breath, "Go ahead." Move a little faster. ”

"Yes."

Kong Youde left, and Chen Zhong said carefully: "Yuanqing, when are you going to do it?" How many troops to deploy? ”

Li Yuanqing glanced at Chen Zhong and suddenly smiled, "Big brother, wealth is only sought in danger." Either you don't play, if you want to play, let's play big. ”

Li Yuanqing said, leaned into Chen Zhong's ear and whispered: "I am ready to concentrate the main force to fight, and on each city wall, only two general defenses will be left, and all the rest of the elites will go out of the city to fight." Huang Taiji wanted to play an empty city plan, and Lao Tzu fulfilled him. ”

Chen Zhong's face was very solemn, and after a while, he said in a low voice: "Yuanqing, this, is this too rash?" If the Tartars take advantage of it, this city will be ......."

Li Yuanqing sneered slightly, "Big brother, Fuzhou is only a stone's throw away from Jinzhou. According to the schedule, if things go well, within three days, the main force of Huang Taiji should be able to rush back. We're running out of time. ”

Chen Zhong also understood what Li Yuanqing meant, "Yuanqing, you mean that the main force of Huang Taiji left last night. But I didn't notice it. ”

"Big brother, the Houjin camp stretches for more than ten miles. It is normal to have poor vision at night and not see. This is a good opportunity for us. ”

The words have already come to this, Chen Zhong understands that Li Yuanqing has made up his mind and really wants to fight Houjin.

He thought for a moment, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, and he said in a low voice: "Yuanqing, you can do it if you want." Big brother will always be on your side. ”

Li Yuanqing nodded with a smile and shook Chen Zhong's hand heavily, "Big brother, if this matter is successful, you and I brothers will share the glory." ”

The two of them deliberated over the details again.

At this time, Wei Liang also found that something was wrong with the situation, under the city gate building, someone was actually demolishing the defensive building blocking the city gate, he hurriedly chased to Li Yuanqing's side, "General Li, there are people below who want to demolish the city gate, this, what is this for?" ”

Li Yuanqing smiled, "Father-in-law, later, I'm going to go out of the city to fight." The Tartar artillery fire is fierce, and they cannot be allowed to be so arrogant anymore, and they must be eradicated as soon as possible. ”

Wei Liang was fed up with the roar of artillery fire, and when he heard Li Yuanqing say this, he hurriedly said: "General Li, this, the Tartars are powerful, you are ......."

Li Yuanqing said with a smile: "Father-in-law, the formation of the Changsheng Camp still has some experience. In addition, with the assistance of General Chen, I am sure of this matter. Besides, there are still many troops left at the head of the city, and there will be no problems. ”

After all, this matter was too aggressive, and Li Yuanqing couldn't come up with enough evidence, so he could only find a pretext to bluff Wei Liang first, 'cut first and then play'.

Wei Liang saw that Li Yuanqing had made up his mind, so he didn't want to say anything more.

Although he is a prisoner, whether it is in the palace or on Changsheng Island, there is a huge gap between him and Li Yuanqing.

"General Li, you, you must be careful."

"Father-in-law, rest assured. I will come back to you to consult with you when I repay my duties. ”

Stabilizing Wei Liang's side, Li Yuanqing returned to the big tent and quickly convened a meeting between the Changsheng Battalion and Chen Zhong's officers above the general level.

Time is urgent, and Li Yuanqing doesn't want to let go of this opportunity.

Chen Zhong first stated that his headquarters obeyed Li Yuanqing's orders, and then Li Yuanqing directly issued orders to the two departments.

Except for Xu Heizi and a few troops left in the city at the headquarters of the Changsheng Battalion, the rest of the main forces were exhausted, and Chen Zhong was the same.

There are also two semi-armed auxiliary forces, 5,000 young and strong, who also came out at the same time.

The so-called semi-armed auxiliaries are actually the reserves of the two ministries.

In the previous exercises, they had received a certain amount of military training, and had some weapons such as spears and knives, with simple military uniforms and a small amount of armor, and their equipment was very rudimentary, far from being comparable to real soldiers.

But they are also combat power.

At this time, the main force of the two divisions was about 5,000 people, and with the assistance of these 5,000 auxiliary soldiers, it was already a scale of 10,000 people.

From the time Li Yuanqing's order was issued, Fuzhou City quickly became busy.

Two hours later, about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the 2,600 soldiers and 3,000 auxiliaries of the Changsheng Battalion, and the 2,400 soldiers and 2,000 auxiliaries on Chen Zhong's side, were ready.

The passage of the north gate was also opened, and everything was ready, only the east wind was owed.

But the Houjin army had red-coated cannons, and Li Yuanqing did not dare to be rash, so he immediately ordered pigs and sheep to be slaughtered in the city, and before going to war, let the sons and daughters eat enough.

Time flies.

By the time the soldiers had eaten and drunk enough and rested for most of the hour, it was already dark, and it was almost half past seven.

In the hazy night, the fire in the Houjin camp on the opposite side flickered, and it seemed that the scale was the same as before, but the noise was obviously much less than before.

Li Yuanqing got down from the city, put on his battle armor, and rode on a tall black horse, escorted by more than 100 personal soldiers of Huang Guoshan and Kong Youde around him, and was majestic.

Next to him, the same is true for Chen Zhong.

"Yuanqing, it's almost time, let's do it. The boys can't wait. "From the morning decision to now, most of the day has passed, and Chen Zhong is already a little impatient.

Li Yuanqing smiled, "Big brother, don't worry, wait a while." Another quarter of an hour. ”

At this time, it is dark early, and people eat early.

But the composition of the Houjin army is very complicated, there are Jurchens, Mongols, Han, and armored people, generally they want the female Allah to eat first, and when the female Allah finishes eating, the slaves dare to eat.

After dinner, Jin Jun attaches great importance to it, not to mention the big master, the ordinary real slaves also have to kill pigs and sheep, just now, when he was in the city, Li Yuanqing has noticed that probably the real slave master has just eaten enough, and the slaves have not eaten yet.

In later generations, there was a common medical saying, 'It is not advisable to do strenuous exercise after eating.' ’

At this time, the Ming army had already finished eating for an hour, and it was almost digested, and it was recuperating, and it was at its peak in all aspects.

The Houjin army was obviously tossed by the scouts of the Ming army today, and their movements were a little slower, and Li Yuanqing would also give them a chance to let their minions eat well.

A quarter of an hour flies by in the blink of an eye.

Li Yuanqing smiled coldly, "Send troops." ”

"Yes."

In a moment, the city gate opened, and the men and horses rushed out of the city in a swift and orderly manner.

At this time, the scouts had already cleared the Houjin defense 20 steps outside the city, and pressed the front close to the earthen wall 100 steps away that the Houjin army built today.

With this support, the Ming army's movements were faster, and in just over 20 minutes, the main force had been exhausted, occupying the fortifications built by the Houjin army inside the earthen wall, approaching the earthen wall a hundred steps away.

Scientifically speaking, 'the action of force is mutual'.

When Houjin built these fortifications, it was to better attack the city, but at this time, the Ming army was dispatched, and these fortifications became the support of the Ming army.

Even with the deterrence of red-coated cannons, the Ming army was not afraid of these supports.

Soon, the Ming advance had already approached the earthen wall.

When the Later Jin army built these earthen walls, they deliberately left gaps, just so that it would be more convenient for their main force to attack.

But at this time, these gaps have become their death entrances.

It was already past 8 o'clock, and the real slaves had already returned to the camp to rest, and most of the guards on this side of the earthen wall were slaves of the Han Army Banner.

How could these people possibly resist the attack of the spearmen of the Immortal Battalion?

After a round of impact, most of the gap had been opened, and these Han army banner servants suffered heavy casualties and wailed.

Although they saw the movements of the Ming army just now, they didn't expect the Ming army to move so fast, and they had already killed it in the blink of an eye.

"Enemy attack!"

"Enemy attack!"

"Ming Gouzi has stolen the camp!"

For a moment, the firelight flickered, and a mournful cry resounded in the night sky.
