Fortunately, in the darkness of the night, no one saw them. At the same time, their screams of surprise were also covered up by the violent and continuous explosions coming from the distance, and they were not exposed in advance.

"Steady, steady! Tell the brothers to be sure to ambush and never alert the sentry on the opposite side. No one can move without my order!"

The explosions coming from the Queen's Palace came in waves. Yang Zhen was worried that the whereabouts of his group would be exposed, so he immediately whispered an order to Zhang Chen and Zhang Guogan to stabilize the excited team.

However, at this moment, no one paid attention to them at all.

Moreover, compared with the panic in the Mantazi camp at this time, the brief chaos that Yang Zhen and his group experienced in the darkness near the Mantazi camp was nothing at all.

The son-in-law of Prince Li Daishan, Zhenghongqi Manchuria Gushan Ezhendu Lei, was directly shaken from the couch in the tent to the ground by the violent explosion, and was suddenly awakened from his deep sleep.

"What's going on? What's going on?! Call Wu Shoujin and come see me! Call Wu Shoujin and come see me!"

Du Lei, who looked confused, immediately yelled and shouted orders in front of the frightened attendants who rushed in to report.

Du Lei couldn't figure out the situation at all, but his intuition told him that something big must have happened, so when the attendant turned to leave, he immediately put on his armor and left the camp.

At this time, explosions were heard continuously, and the camp full of Tatars was in chaos. Many people rushed out of the tents in disheveled clothes and looked in the direction of the explosions in panic.

Du Lei ran out of his tent and found out that it was not his camp that was under attack. He calmed down a little, so he led a group of attendants to the camp, stopped in front of a lit bonfire, and revealed his identity.

Maintain order.

It wasn't until he led his attendants and killed more than a dozen people who were shouting and running around that the general stabilized the situation and resolved the danger of the roaring camp. At this time, he saw a fat-headed, big-faced and disheveled middle-aged man.

General Nian was running towards him.

"Master Efu? Master Efu? Something bad has happened. Is it the Empress' Palace? It's the explosion coming from the Empress' Palace. There's been an attack on the Empress' Palace!"

"ah?!"

That fat-headed, big-faced, middle-aged general who ran toward him in confusion? It was none other than the Han Army under the Red Banner, Meile Zhangjing, Wu Shojin.

Wu Shoujin's disheveled appearance made him very angry? Obviously Wu Shoujin did not strictly guard the camp according to his orders, but what Wu Shoujin said shocked him even more.

"Dog slave, what do you mean? What do you mean? The Empress Palace where my father-in-law is staying tonight, and the Empress Palace where Prince Heshuoli is staying tonight, were attacked by the Songshan Ming Army?!"

"I'm afraid that's the case, Master Efu! Master Efu, we have to send troops quickly to rescue the prince! Is this slave willing to lead the army out of the camp? Rush to the rescue!"

When the explosion came, Wu Shoujin was almost scared to death. Fortunately, the camp in front of him was not raided, otherwise, he would have been sentenced to death.

But as soon as he saw Du Lei's unkind expression, he knew that the matter was not over yet, so he immediately suggested that he would send troops to rescue the Empress' Palace in order to make up for his mistake and stop Du Lei's mouth.

However, when Du Lei saw his disheveled and panicked look, he snorted coldly, looked at him with great contempt, and said to him:

"What's the point of going there for a bunch of trash?! Just keep the camp safe!"

After Du Lei said this, he immediately shouted loudly: "The Empress Palace where Prince Li is staying was attacked at night. Everyone in Meng Niulu, please quickly put on your armor and mount your horse, and come with me to the rescue!"

After Du Lei finished speaking, his attendants had already brought him a war horse. He got up, lit a torch and rode the horse in the camp and shouted several times. Then he gathered most of the Mengniu Lu, quickly rode out of the camp, and rushed to the empress. Went in the direction of the palace.

Yang Zhen and others were lying in ambush near the Mantazi camp. Although they couldn't see clearly what was happening in the camp and couldn't hear Du Lei's orders shouting in the camp, they finally saw the camp door suddenly open, and one group after another of Manchus. The Tatar cavalry roared out, carrying torches, and headed north. They also knew that the long-awaited opportunity had finally arrived.

Seeing the Manta Tartars leaving the camp and disappearing into the dark night mist, Yang Zhen climbed up, blew a long whistle, and then shouted:

"Murder and arson. At this moment, listen to my orders and move in and out quickly! Brothers, rush with me!"

After Yang Zhen shouted the slogan, he immediately ordered an attack. He himself took a musket with a bayonet and rushed towards the brightly lit but still chaotic Manchu Tatar camp.

Du Lei did not punish Wu Shojin, but led his troops to leave the camp in a hurry to rescue the Empress' Palace, which made Wu Shojin feel a little at peace.

Most of the prominent and powerful people among the Manchu Tatars looked down upon the Han troops under their banner who were former Ming soldiers. This was something he had long been accustomed to.

I just scolded him, but he didn't feel anything at all.

As soon as Du Lei left, he summoned his Han soldiers, Jia La E Zhen and Niu Lu E Zhen, into his tent. Seeing their disheveled appearance, he cursed them fiercely.

But Wu Shoujin was scolding his men in his tent when he suddenly heard a sharp whistle coming from outside the camp. Having already heard the whistle, he was stunned. After a moment, he immediately jumped up and panicked. He pointed to his generals and said:

"Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Enemy attack, enemy attack, night attack, Songshan Ming army is coming to rob the camp! Damn it, we have fallen into the trap, we have actually fallen into the trap. This is to attack from the east to the west, to lure the tiger away from the mountain!"

Wu Shoujin was also from a family of soldiers and generals of the Liaodong Dusi Guards in the Ming Dynasty, and he was familiar with military books. At this time, he was nervous and panicked, but after analyzing it, he turned out to be very logical.

But it was useless no matter how clear he said it. In the middle of the night, it was difficult for the team to command effectively, so he gathered all the subordinates under him into his big tent to reprimand them.

The original intention was to arrange defense, but before the defense was arranged, people like Yang Zhen had already launched an attack, and the chaos became even worse.

Suddenly, in the whole camp in the east of the city under Zhenghong Banner, there were no soldiers or generals. The two Tatars and Han soldiers could only fight on their own and formed a chaotic mess.

As for Yang Zhen's side, they have carried out ambushes and raids many times. The musketeers in the advance camp are also used to this style of fighting, and they all know how to kill the enemy and protect themselves in such situations.

They were in small groups, a few in teams, some carrying torches, and using special grenades to clear the way. When they encountered a place where the enemy was densely populated, they would just throw a few grenades over, and then they would carry a six-and-a-half-foot-long flintlock with a bayonet attached. Musket charge.

If you encounter the enemy's individual archers or extremely powerful soldiers, shoot directly face to face to kill them, and then continue charging with muskets with bayonets.

In this way, taking advantage of the chaos in the enemy camp, Yang Zhen, Zhang Chen, Zhang Guogan and others led the musketeers to escape through the ditch, cross the earthen barrier, push to the fence, and rush all the way into the camp. They were invincible.

In less than half an hour, the Niulu troops of the Zhenghong Banner Han army who were fighting in the Manta camp dispersed and fled in all directions. Most of those who remained in the camp were killed, and a small number surrendered.

Including Zhenghong Banner Han Army Maile Zhangjing Wu Shojin, when they saw Yang Zhen leading his troops towards him, they immediately knelt down and shouted their names and chose to surrender.

When Yang Zhen heard that he was Meile Zhangjing and Wu Shojin of the Zhenghong Banner Han Army, he had him tied up and spared his life.

If it hadn't been for Yang Zhen himself who led his troops towards him, and if it had been anyone else, his life would have been taken away on the spot.

The raid on the Manchu Tatar Zhenghongqi camp went smoothly beyond imagination. Seeing that the overall situation was decided, Yang Zhen hurriedly sent people to search for the artillery in the camp, but did not find a single one. He only found the artillery stored in the camp.

Gunpowder in the camp.

So, he ordered all the ministries to use the Tatar gunpowder on the spot to burn all the tents, grain, stables, and firewood in the camp, and the fire suddenly broke out.

On the way to evacuate, Yang Zhen interrogated Wu Shojin and found out that the Zhenghong Banner Han Army Wu Zhen Chao Ha Niulu originally stationed in the Manchu Tatar camp had all been mobilized by Huang Taiji to the west of Songshan City for centralized use.

Including the artillery team under the famous obedient King Kong Youde, they were originally the battalion that followed the red flag, and it happened that they were not in the camp.

Of course, this news was a bit disappointing for Yang Zhen, but he was also secretly grateful.

Disappointingly, there was not a single heavy artillery piece in the Tatar camp to the east of the city.

Fortunately, the obedient Wang Kong Youde and his gang are not in this camp.

If Kong Youde had been here, I am afraid that the robbery of the camp would not have gone so smoothly, and he might even have been kicked on the iron plate.

After Yang Zhen gathered the attacking troops, evacuated the camp where the Han army was stationed at Zhenghong Banner, and returned to the relatively safe trench, Yang Zhen suddenly stopped, asked someone to bring Wu Shojin, and asked him a question:

"Wu Shojin, let me ask you, where has Prince Li Daishan gone? Why is he not in the camp? Could it be that this old guy Daishan cares so much about the safety of the Queen's Palace that he personally led his troops out of the camp to rescue?!"

The war was so urgent that when Yang Zhen captured Wu Shojin in the camp, he not only did not ask about it in detail, but he did not even think of asking this question. It was not until he was on his way back that he suddenly remembered.

At this time, what Wu Shoujin said made Yang Zhen and everyone around Yang Zhen feel disappointed.

"Prince Li? Prince Li was not in the camp originally. It was Prince Li who led the army out of the camp to rescue him!"

"Ah?! The one who lives in the Queen's Palace is not Huang Taiji, but that old guy Daishan!? Oops, ouch -"

After hearing Wu Shojin's words, Yang Zhen and Zhang Chen looked at each other and sighed. However, they had inferred this possibility before, so they were not too disappointed.
