There is indeed a sea-watching sentry on Shipeng Mountain more than ten miles south of Xiongyue City, and there is indeed a small team of sentinels sent by Zhumala to watch the sea.

Fortunately, the location of the Tatar sea watch post on Shipeng Mountain is not close to Xiongyue City, and there are only a few people. There is only an old Bashiku, leading a few old and weak Tatars and a few soldiers, Aha.

On duty here.

Although they heard the explosion in Xiongyue City and saw the light of fire, they did not dare to come to the rescue or send people to observe closely. Instead, they quickly went down the mountain and rushed to the Tatar camp outside Fuzhou City overnight to report the news and move.

The reinforcements have gone.

When Li Shouzhong led a group of his men to Shipeng Mountain, the Tatars had already left, and only the few soldiers who served the Tatars, Aha, were still guarding there.

When Li Shouzhong led his team to arrive, the soldiers Aha immediately shouted and chose to kneel down and surrender, and reported the whereabouts of the Tatars at Wanghai Post.

The distance from Xiongyue City to Fuzhou City is about one hundred and fifty miles.

Even from Shipeng Mountain south of Xiongyue City to Xiping Mountain northwest of Fuzhou City, the distance is about 120 miles.

The Tatar sentries on Shipeng Mountain hurriedly and slowly rushed all the way to the foot of Xiping Mountain and delivered the news to Dorgon and others. It was already dawn.

"What?! Say it again you little slave!"

The Manchu Tatars were ordered to do so by General Rui and Prince Dorgon. He went to bed at midnight last night and woke up early this morning. As soon as he got up, he heard the news that Xiong Yue had been attacked and might have been breached. He immediately

He screamed in shock and shouted sternly at the old Bashku who was hurriedly led into the tent by Prince Azig.

At this time, Prince Azig, whose face was already very ugly, suddenly raised his foot, kicked the old Bashku who was kneeling on the ground to report the news after entering the tent, and then shouted:

"Slave dog, carefully tell Prince Rui the news you just reported to me!"

"Prince Rui, Prince Rui, something bad has happened! Last night, there were many explosions suddenly coming from the direction of Suide Gate, the south gate of Xiongyue City. The servants guarding Shipeng Mountain could hear them clearly even though they were far away.

!”

The old Bashiku, who came all the way from Shipeng Mountain to report the news, was very good at speaking. He kowtowed to the ground and endured the severe pain of being kicked in the ribs. He repeated what he had said to Prince Azig not long ago.

Once again:

"The servants stood on Shipeng Mountain and heard the sound and looked out. They could vaguely see a large group of people holding torches and rushing into the city from where Suide Gate is! - Prince Rui, at this moment, Xiongyue City must be broken!"

I don't know whether he was kicked in too much pain, which made him moan when he spoke, or whether he was afraid of the consequences of this incident, which made him panic involuntarily. In short, at the end of his words, he was crying.

"How is this possible? How is this possible?"

Dorgon once again heard the detailed report of the old Bashiku. He couldn't believe it for a moment, and suddenly fell down on the couch behind him in a daze.

"Where's the news?! Where's Zhumala?! What do these dog slaves do for food?! - And you guys who climb high and look at the sea, are they all useless?!"

After Dorgon realized what had happened, his anger rose sharply. When he talked about Shang Kexi and Zhumala, they were already gnashing their teeth.

But it was good news that the two Zhumalas were not in front of him after all, and he could not vent his anger towards them. At this time, he raised his eyes and saw the old Bashiku who was kneeling on the ground to report, and immediately got up and strode up.

He stepped forward and kicked out fiercely, hitting Bashiku in the face.

The Bashiku screamed and fell to the ground, wailing endlessly.

"I asked you to be careful at sea, but you are actually useless. The soldiers and horses of the Southern Dynasty have already marched north along the coast, but you were kept in the dark. In this case, what is the use of keeping you?! Drag them out! Drag them out and kill them!"

The old Bashiku, who had worked so hard to report the news, had just been kicked in the mouth and nose by Dorgon. At this time, his mouth and nose were bleeding, and he could not speak. He soon struggled and was moved by the order.

Zhengbaiqi Ba Yala dragged him out.

It wasn't until silence returned to the big tent that Dorgon turned back to the couch, put his hand on his forehead, and sat down with a sigh.

"Old Fourteen, the soldiers and horses with the white flag are currently at the foot of Xiping Mountain, and there is no place to dispatch them for the time being. Why don't you let me lead the soldiers and horses with the white flag and rush back to Xiongyue City as soon as possible! If we break out the camp and send out the troops now, it will be around the time.

It’s coming!”

Azig was also worried about being attacked on the back road, especially considering that Xiongyue City was originally his garrison, he was even more worried.

Seeing that Dorgon was in a state of despair, he immediately proposed that he lead his troops to return reinforcements, hoping to remedy the situation.

However, Dorgon did not appreciate it.

"Rush back? What can we do if we rush back? Rushing back at this time will not only be useless, but it may also fall into the enemy's plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain!"

"Have you fallen into the enemy's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain again?"

Prince Azig's mind was a little confused for a while, but he had always been in awe of his scheming and decisive brother, and had doubts in his heart, but at this time he could only bury it in his heart.

Dorgon glanced at him and asked with a gloomy face: "How many days can the food and grass in your camp under the banner of Xiangbai and Prince Zhenglan of Raoyu County last?"

Xiongyue City is the transit place for Dorgon's tens of thousands of troops. Of course, Azig knows exactly what it means to be attacked now.

At that moment, he thought about the situation in the army and immediately gave his answer: "The Xiangbai Banner can still hold up for three or two days, but Prince Raoyu's camp lost some food and grass. Yesterday, he sent people to my camp to inquire.

Regarding the food and grass matter, depending on what it means, they may not be able to sustain it for even three or two days!"

"A bunch of losers! Fortunately, he still spared Prince Yu!"

Dorgon was dissatisfied with Abatedo, but dissatisfaction was dissatisfaction. At this time, he had no better way besides working together.

"If there is a shortage of food in Prince Raoyu's camp and you arrive late, just lend him some from your banner. No matter what, it will last for three or two days!"

Having said this, Dorgon looked at the unhappy Prince Azig, then at the other people serving in the tent, and said coldly:

"The news of the attack on Xiong Yuecheng must not be spread outside until our army takes Xiping Mountain. Today's army operation will proceed according to the original arrangement!"

After Dorgon said these words, he snorted coldly, and then, as if he was encouraging the soldiers' morale, but also as if he was mumbling to himself, he said to himself:

"Huh, three or two days, that's enough. Within three or two days, as long as my army can capture Xiping Mountain and eat the main force of the Southern Army on Xiping Mountain, I, Dorgon, have not lost this battle!"

Dorgon's ideas are always unexpected, and Azig and the people around Dorgon are already used to this.

Logically speaking, if the army penetrates deeply, its retreat will be cut off, and food and grass will eventually be exhausted. At this time, the entire army should withdraw to preserve the troops and horses, which is the best policy.

But Dorgon did not retreat but advanced, and his fighting spirit became even higher.

Azig and the others saw that Dorgon had made up his mind and his expressions had returned to their previous wise and firm expressions. They all received military orders and began to prepare for a new day's offensive.

Prince Azig returned to his camp worriedly. The more he thought about it, the more worried he would be about the consequences of the news being leaked. So he simply issued an order to behead all the followers of the old Bashiku who had been executed.

However, his abnormal behavior aroused the curiosity of the armored bannermen and Aha soldiers in the camp.

Although no one dared to publicly ask what happened to Xiong Yuecheng, who was behind the army, they couldn't help but talk about it in private, and there were even many speculations that were more serious than the attack on Xiong Yuecheng.

But all this was hidden from Azig and Dorgon, and no one dared to mention the two place names of Shipeng Mountain and Xiongyue City in front of them.

That morning, when the fog cleared at sunrise, Dorgon once again appeared in the frontline position. The foot of Xiping Mountain, which had been silent all night, was once again noisy and lively.

This time, Dorgon was cruel and started bombarding from sunrise in the morning until noon. Except for the overheated barrel, which had to be stopped for cooling, no rest was allowed.

Bayan, the son of the obedient king Kong Youde and Li Yongfang, although they didn't know why Prince Rui Dorgon was so eager, they could only obey orders in the face of the somewhat crazy Dorgon.

At noon that day, after all the projectiles in the camp were shot, Kong Youde and Bayan had to stop the bombardment and went to Dorgon's tent together to ask to see Dorgon and inquire about the next arrangements.

When they arrived, Dorgon had already summoned the kings Beile and the Gushan Ezhens in front of the army, and they were discussing some issues. The atmosphere in the big tent was very depressing.

When the two people saw this, they didn't dare to hide anything at the moment and told the situation one after another.

"Your Majesty, all the bullets for the General's cannon have been used up. There is still some gunpowder in the camp, but if we want to continue bombarding the enemy camp, we can't do it without suitable bullets."

"Yes, Your Majesty, for the current plan, we must either send people back to the rear to transport them as soon as possible, or command the army officers to forge stone projectiles on the spot. However, no matter whether we send people to transport them from the rear, or we can make suitable projectiles on the spot,

It will take three or two days to make stone bullets!"

They thought that after they said this, Dorgon would order them to temporarily withdraw from the siege of Xiping Mountain. At least their own bombardment mission was successfully completed.

However, what they never expected was that after Dorgon listened to the two of them, he said to them expressionlessly:

"Spend three or two days? Haha, my king's army can't do nothing for three or two days, waiting for you to get some stone bullets! Since you have run out of bullets, that's good, you two will go back to the command post immediately to lead
Chapter completed!
