In the early winter of the eleventh year of Chongzhen, three piles were gathered.
Five days have passed since the last human shield battle, and in these five days, there have been continuous battles!
In general, the strength of both sides is further depleting, but this exchange ratio is still dominated by the Ming army... After all, they are the defensive side, and the Gou Danzi is the offensive side, and among them there are such powerful existences as the Xuanjia Army. Therefore, the Ming army still has the advantage.
However, this is the case, after all, the problem now is that the dog tartar has the advantage of the number of people! Even now, Goudazi still has 23,000 people left, almost halved! But the camp is not so good. It has dropped from the original 25,000 to 16,000! The staff reduction has exceeded one-third!
So if you fight this way to the end, I am afraid that Dan will win. If this is the case, Yang Shanlu feels that the time has come for the transfer... It's time to start the back player.
So he immediately passed a letter to the Flying Pigeon, informing the special battalion sergeants lurking in Qingzhou City that the hunting operation could begin.
After the order was issued, Yang Shanlu began to calculate, based on the efficiency of the special battalion, coupled with mental arithmetic and unintentional, it is estimated that one day later, there will be news of success, and by then, the camping army will no longer have fetters. , You can transfer with peace of mind.
At the same time, the Chinese army camp of the Qing army, Dorgon Department.
In the big tent at this time, Dorgon is discussing military affairs with Abatai, but both of them have very bad faces. After all, the invincible warriors of the Qing Dynasty still have not made much progress, but the warriors have not made any progress. A lot has been sacrificed.
And most importantly, the military rations can no longer be sustained! After all, the biggest reason for their entry this time was to spend this catastrophic year and grab money and people to grab food!
But now, these 40,000 troops are gathered in one place (the soldiers were divided into dozens of troops to grab grain), which has greatly reduced the efficiency of grain grabbing. Therefore, not only is there no grain in the account, but the original army ration is used up. Why? do? what to do
"It looks like it's time to start the final player!" Seeing that there is no other way, Dorgon said slowly.
"What, what's the final player?" Abate asked inexplicably.
"Yes, against the Ming army, our army has another trick!" Dorgon smiled when he said that, because he knew the power of this trick! Even because this trick is too powerful, even Abatai didn't know it, that is, this time he was going to the south as a general, and Huang Taiji told him, otherwise, even he would be kept in the dark!
But, it’s just because of this...
Then Dorgon gave a detailed explanation of Abate. It turned out that in the Ming army camp where they had been fighting until now, there was still a high-level inner respondent lurking! And the status of this person has been very high, and they have achieved the position of participating generals! Therefore, if launched at this critical moment, it will surely be able to play a role as a surprise attack... Win with one blow!
"What?" After listening to Abatai, his face was full of disbelief, and he even felt like he was dreaming: "General, do you mean that one of the generals in the army is ours? Is there such a good thing?"
"Why can't there be such a good thing?" Dorgon thought it was normal: "There is a saying in Ming Guo that is good, it is called a mother if you have milk! As long as our Daqing can provide them with sufficient benefits, There will be countless Han people betraying their ancestors! Take refuge in us!"
"Far away is Li Yongfang (formerly known as the Fushun guerrilla general of Ming Dynasty, and later surrendered to Nurhachi) 20 years ago, and the current eight emperor merchants in Shanxi are near. Of course, they are no longer there, but this shows a fact. There are profitable people who are willing to be dogs for us in the Qing Dynasty, and there are many Han people who betrayed their ancestors! So including this general, the same is true."
"Oh, that's the case—" But Abate was still a little unbelievable: "The general is already considered to be a prominent position in the Ming Dynasty. How can an insider climb so high?"
"It's very simple—" Dorgon said indifferently: "Since you want to train him, you need to spend some thought. For example, when fighting with his army, he deliberately threw the heads of a few warriors who died. He, with Mingguo’s system, doesn’t he have military merits? It’s not surprising that he climbed to the position of a general after several trainings, and now, isn’t it time to harvest!"
Then Dorgon talked about his ideas. First, as far as he knows, tomorrow it will be the turn of the general to lead his soldiers and defend a part of the position. When that happens, let him suddenly lead the army anyway! This unexpectedly opened the Ming army's defense gap and won!
And the second one, Dorgon is very vicious. I think that before that, he can use his status as a general to meet with the head of the Ming army, Lu Xiangsheng, and then assassinate him! After all, with mental arithmetic and unintentional, it is possible to have great success! And as long as it can kill Lu Xiangsheng, then the Ming army can be said to be a group of dragons without a leader, and will not attack and chaos, and when that time comes...
"Great!" After listening to Abatai, he was very excited... Unexpectedly, there is such a back player! Still such a powerful backhand! In this way, how tenacious the Ming army is, it will be defeated! The glorious victory is already here!
What makes him even more happy is the symbolic meaning... After all, there are only so many troops in the Ming Dynasty. If this most powerful army is eliminated, especially the heinous black armor. Army, wipe them out completely! Put under their feet the banner bestowed by the emperor! At that time, the Eight Banners Iron Horse rides across the world, let's see who else dares to fight against it!
On the contrary, Dorgon, although he has seen this wonderful prospect, is actually a little reluctant in his heart. After all, it is not easy to cultivate such a chess piece. I originally wanted to wait for a more critical time to use it! But now, as long as this army of Ming Dynasty can be eliminated and the Xuanjia army can be eliminated, it feels worthwhile.
So in this way, the Qing army camp immediately began to act...
Shanxi Zhenzheng Barracks is located at Piantou Pass on the West Road and the general Lin Xianchang (West Road Piantou Pass is his stationing place).
At this moment, his mood is also very anxious, although he usually performs well as a ginseng general in Shanxi Town, without revealing any flaws.
But as a country thief whose conscience has been eaten by a dog, he is very anxious at this moment. Why can't our invincible Qing Dynasty still be able to win and eliminate this coalition army? After all, he can only be prosperous and wealthy if he defeats these Han dogs as soon as possible...
(Because according to his judgment, Daming will surely die* by the hand)
At this moment, his personal guard suddenly ran in, and then handed him a secret order that he had just obtained through top-secret channels. As a national thief, Lin Xianchang's personal guards had long been developed into his own. So don't worry about leaking the news.
The secret order was placed in a small envelope sealed with flame paint, but when he opened it, his eyes shrank, and a small dragon head was drawn on the secret order, indicating that this was the message sent to him by the highest channel. , Must be strictly enforced!
When Lin Xianchang opened it, he saw a grinning smile on his face... Haha, finally waiting for this day, I saw that the order was clearly written, and the one who issued the order was one of the highest commanders who entered the customs, Rui Prince, General Dorgon was ordered!
And what he needs to do is two things, the first is to assassinate Lu Xiangsheng! Disrupt the Ming army command system! The second is to make an appointment at tomorrow hour (about seven o'clock in the morning), when he leads the army to defend the position, in one fell swoop anyway! Then cooperate with the Qing warriors to break through the Ming army position in one fell swoop and win the final victory!
After Lin Xianchang read the instruction, he burned it, and then began to carefully figure out how to execute this order... and make sure that nothing went wrong! After all, this is related to the national fortune of my Qing Dynasty and his happiness in the second half of his life. There is nothing to lose!
Of course, at this time, Lin Xianchang would occasionally think of the principles that his deceased old lady taught him to be a human... But Lin Xianchang can only say a word of apologies in his heart. People are not for themselves, and the heavens are destroyed!
Then Lin Xianchang started to figure it out. In fact, at the beginning, he only appeared as a soldier outside the Great Wall (Shanxi's general soldier Hu Dawei is also in this capacity), and then with the "brave fighting" and "repetitive military merits", he went smoothly. Climbed to the position of participating.
And he has stayed in Ming Dynasty for more than ten years, and his subordinates have formed a considerable force, at least 1,000 people listen to his dispatch! So now, it's time to act!
Lin Xianchang began to give orders calmly, so that when he went to battle tomorrow, he would put all his henchmen on the front line! Well then...
As for the assassination of Lu Xiangsheng, of course he has to go to battle himself! After all, as long as this important event is done, Dorgon promised him in the letter and let him become a full citizenship after the event! And seal the king like Kong Youde! (Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming, Shang Kexi, are collectively called the'Three Traitors of Shandong')
It's just that he didn't think about it. Kong Youde, who was named the King of Submissiveness by my Qing Dynasty, had already been escorted to Beijing during the previous Battle of Phi Island and was tortured! All the bones were fed to the dog! And does this also herald his fate
Lu Xiangsheng did not arrive in the morning of the next morning, at the headquarters of the Ming army camp.
Lu Xiangsheng has been very busy these days, and his whole person has lost a lot of weight. After all, thinking about it, no one can eat the other at once, so he has entered a cruel stalemate stage! That is to fight each other cruelly! Fight the background!
Therefore, the allocation of all kinds of money, food and materials, the placement of the wounded... There are so many things to worry about, and Lu Xiangsheng is very busy.
But at this moment, a personal guard came in to report: "Ask the governor, Shanxi Town Counselor Lin Xianchang asked to see him, saying that he had an important military report!"
"Really?" Lu Xiangsheng felt a little strange when he heard it. Generally speaking, as Lin Xianchang, even if he has an important military report, he still has to pass it through his superior, the general soldier of Shanxi Town, Hu Dawei, or two. People came together, but now they come alone. What is going on
However, Lu Xiangsheng changed his mind again. The generals can be regarded as high-ranking generals. There are nearly two thousand people under his command, so it doesn't hurt to meet.
So Lu Xiangsheng just said, "Then let him in."
So soon, Lin Xianchang walked in with a helmet and armor. After seeing Lu Xiangsheng, he bowed his head in a proper salute: "Guardian General Lin Xianchang at the Piantou Pass of the West Road, I have met the Minister."
"Get up." Lu Xiangsheng's attitude towards Lin Xianchang is quite good. After all, according to Lin Xianchang's qualifications, he can be considered brave enough to fight, and he has made several military exploits against the Qing army. Therefore, Lu Xiangsheng still values such a general. of.
So after seeing him here, he asked kindly: "General Lin, it will be your turn to defend the position soon, right now, what important military information is there to report to at this critical moment?"
"Well..." Lin Xianchang looked at Lu Xiangsheng's guards around Shili, and said with an embarrassed expression: "Supervisor, this matter is confidential, please leave it behind!"
"Really?" Lu Xiangsheng felt that he was a little fussy, but seeing him so cautiously, he was also a little curious. What important military situation did he want to say? So these guards retreated.
After all, no matter how much Lu Xiangsheng imagined, he would never think that a dignified general, an old man who has repeatedly made military exploits, is actually a running dog of the Qing country! Traitor!
But after Lin Xianchang saw the guards retreating, only the two of them were left in the entire big tent, and a grim smile appeared on his face! Then he walked up to Lu Xiangsheng, pretending to be mysterious, and said: "Enlighten the governor, this very important military situation is... I want to send you to the west!"
And the next moment, Lu Xiangsheng's eyes were already wide-eyed! A sharp short knife has penetrated deeply into his chest! And Lin Xianchang was still piercing it hard!
"Why?" Lu Xiangsheng looked at him incredulously.
Lin Xianchang didn't answer him at all. He just stabs forward again, feeling the pleasure of overflowing blood. Then he grinned and said, "Is it weird? Actually, I should have been a member of the Qing Dynasty! So! People like you who dared to resist my Great Qing Dynasty will all have to die!" As he said, he was going to do a few more sideways!
But then, Lu Xiangsheng will not be succeeded by him again! After understanding the reason, Lu Xiangsheng is not a good crop! You must know that Lu Xiangsheng was originally a different kind of civil servants in the late Ming Dynasty, both civil and military! For example, he can not only go to the battlefield to kill the enemy himself! And they used big swords weighing 36 kilograms! Even the white armored soldiers are not his opponents!
So even at this time, he was already seriously injured, but he was angry and slapped Lin Xianchang's chest. He summoned his last strength and shouted, "There is an assassin!"
It was this palm that directly shot Lin Xianchang more than ten feet away! But then Lu Xiangsheng was no longer able to do it, and collapsed softly to the ground, the blood gushing out of his chest even shed all over the place...
"Damn it's pretty awesome!" Lin Xianchang looked at Lu Xiangsheng, who had collapsed on the ground, and concluded that he was no longer able to do so, and then heard footsteps coming from outside the big tent, he had to leave here!
To say that Lin Xianchang was able to hide until now, he was still a bit clever. He just walked out of the camp quickly and came to fish in troubled waters. After smearing some blood on his body, he also shouted: "There is an assassin! There is an assassin! Come and catch the assassin!"
The guards who swarmed in didn't know what happened in the big tent. They saw Lin Xianchang with blood on his body, his face was pale and injured, thinking that he was also stabbed by the assassin, so they asked. : "General Lin, where is the assassin?"
Of course, more people found Lu Xiangsheng lying in a pool of blood, and immediately screamed that they wanted to help him up, and some of the guards immediately went to the military doctor to prepare for rescue!
As for Lin Xianchang, just taking advantage of this chaotic moment, after pointing out of the big tent, he immediately got away and left!
After he walked out of the big tent, he felt a sharp pain in his chest. Then he untied his armor and took a look. Damn, the iron plate he hid in his chest beforehand was beaten and sunken! This Lupifu is really strong! Fortunately, I assassinated him by trick, otherwise it would be really hard to tell!
Then he turned his head and looked at the chaotic headquarters, with a hideous smile on his face... The first task has been successfully completed! And what's next is to meet my Qing warriors to break through the battlefield! Then ushered in the complete demise of the Ming army! (End of this chapter)
