Before dawn, the Truchen attack began.

It's strange to say that originally they wanted to use the west wall as the main attack direction, and feign attacks on the north wall and east wall. But this time they went in the opposite direction. The artillery fire on the west wall was sparse, but the other two directions were real.

Full coverage!

Delengtai, who had not slept all night, couldn't help cursing in his mind, "Isn't this forcing me to make a choice as soon as possible? As time goes by, Prince Qing and Agui will definitely replace me first!"

Now that the matter has come to this, there is no time for him to delay any longer, not to mention that it is also appropriate to take advantage of the enemy's attack to slow down and discuss matters.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but take a breath of air.

"What a thief, his calculations are so precise"

However, this time, he did not summon all the Eight Banners generals above the level of staff and leader, but only the generals at the level of staff and leader.

"A single commander only has a maximum of 300 troops, and most of them have no experience as imperial guards. It would be a pity to kill them all. According to the thieves, they will send the bannermen to a place to become an independent country, so why bother killing them all?

?"

So he summoned all the generals above including the Manchu Army Flag, the Mongolian Army Flag, and the Han Army Flag Officer, including Chu Zha, who he had tested in advance.

Although Chuza did not express his position clearly, according to the results of the test, this person obviously did not have much loyalty to the Qing court, not to mention that he secretly revealed to him the news that the Truqin people were preparing to place the Manchus somewhere.

.

The wooden statue in the middle of the main hall of the temple had long been moved away and replaced by a tiger-skin chair, with De Lengtai sitting on it.

There were more than 20 Manchu, Mongolian and Han generals and above, sitting on both sides. As soon as they came in, Sauron's personal guards who crowded the hall closed the door.

Perhaps out of inner nervousness, the guards used too much force when closing the door, and the snap made the generals startle.

Lentai in the main hall also arranged fifty Sauron guards, half of whom were holding loaded muskets, and the other half were holding swords, spears and other convenient weapons. These generals can hold high positions, obviously because of their age

They are no longer weak. Even if they are still brave, they will not be the opponents of Sauron's personal guards.

What's more, they only have a single sword beside them.

Although they were frightened by the sound of closing the door just now, these generals obviously did not think that Delengtai, who was personally named "Hulunbuir's No. 1 Batulu" by Emperor Qianlong, would do to them, and they all quickly sat upright.

Delengtai sighed inwardly, and instantly regained his composure. To be on the safe side, he turned his attention to Chuza, who was sitting in the first place on the left.

With Chu Zha's background, he was obviously not qualified to sit there. There were also three deputy commanders of the Eight Banners of Manchuria at the scene. Chu Zha usually sat among them during discussions, but Chu Zha was the only one present, not to mention his direct subordinates.

He has the most soldiers under his command. Although they are only young and strong, they can barely sit there.

Chu Zha is in his thirties, with a slender figure. He carries a Miao knife common in Miao territory on his waist. It is much longer than the single sword beside others. Although he is only in his thirties, his appearance is simple and his eyes are sunken.

He looks a bit sinister, and although he looks thin, he has a big frame, especially a pair of big hands with protruding veins.

Naturally, the three vice-captains had some objections to Delengtai's arrangement, but now that the Truqin Army was attacking the city, according to Agui's usual wishes, his father-in-law was obviously the most trustworthy person. Thinking of this,

They reluctantly suppressed their dissatisfaction.

Just as Chuza stood up, the door was opened again, and a Sauron guard broke in.

"Commander, it's not good"

Everyone turned pale when they heard this, and they all thought to themselves: "Did the Kung Fu barbarians take down the city wall just now?"

With the lessons learned from the East-West Bianmen, the current guards on the city wall are obviously young and strong battalions, and the real Eight Banners soldiers are prepared to fight in the streets. Although they were a little nervous, they calmed down quickly.

"What's the matter?"

Delengtai would also be a little surprised. His personal guards, especially the one hundred personal guards, were all greeted in advance and selected from his own Umit clan. If his affairs were exposed,

, they naturally die without a burial place, but they can’t get away with it.

Therefore, he has absolute trust in these one hundred people.

"Commander, the Zhantan Temple in the Imperial City is on fire!"

Zhantan Temple is located on the northwest side of Beihai, the imperial city. It is a relatively independent temple. What is the reason for the sudden fire at this time?

Everyone's thoughts were obviously different from De Lengtai's, "The imperial city is guarded by Xishan Ruijian Camp. There are no soldiers stationed in the temple. Maybe it was caused by the monks in the temple accidentally knocking over the sesame oil. It's really unfortunate.

, the house leaks but it rains all night”

However, De Lengtai was as clear as day in his heart.

"This must be Agui's arrangement. This is telling the Truqin people outside the city that if you dare to attack the city, then I will burn the imperial city!"

This situation makes time even more urgent for the Truchin Army.

Nowadays, the North City Wall and the East City Wall are garrisoned by senior generals from the Eight Banners of Manchuria. It is impossible for them to rebel against the Qing Dynasty. Moreover, their families are all in Chengdu, so they will most likely follow Agui's arrangements.

If he continues to waste time and the entire inner city is burned down, then his two children will be taken hostage by the Truqin people!

Thinking of this, he finally made up his mind.

"General Chu, you seem to have something to say?"

Chu Zha nodded and said: "Now that things have happened, we have to say something. A few days ago, as my consort, I entered the palace to pay my respects to the concubine, and received a shocking news."

"Oh?"

Seeing everyone's confused looks, Chuza continued: "The Truqin people have contacted Prince Qing."

"Ah?!"

As soon as these words came out, the generals present couldn't help but explode. Even Delengtai was stunned.

"As you know, according to Mr. Ah's plan, the city wall is not the focus of our defense. The focus is still on the alleys and courtyards in the city. We are prepared to rely on these alleys and courtyards to resist one after another. When the army is exhausted, we will burn the entire army.

"Inner City"

"Your wives, concubines, and children are all in Chengdu. If you don't obey, your life will be in danger. But since I got the shocking news, my mind has changed..."

"Chu Zha! You were originally a barbarian prisoner, but you were discovered by the Qing Dynasty and rose to such a high position. If you are not grateful and serve the Qing Dynasty, do you want to rebel and surrender to the enemy?!"

If it were normal, this person would never sit still and talk after hearing what Chu Zha said. He would have drawn out his sword and pounced on him. But the fact that he is still sitting shows that his mind is not firm.

Sure enough, Chu Zha ignored him and continued: "According to the concubine, they are just old palace people, and they will live to the end of the year anyway, but how innocent are the young people of Hecheng Banner?"

"To be honest with you, according to what the concubine said, Prince Qing was also shaken, but since the incident of inviting Chenghuang Temple Miao Zhu into the palace to treat his illness, Lord A has sealed off the Forbidden City, and Prince Qing cannot even enter or leave the Forbidden City!"

"Moreover, the concubine also said that the Truqin people have promised that if the Eight Banners soldiers in the inner city can lay down their weapons and surrender, they promise not to harm anyone's life. Not only the soldiers and civilians in the city, but also the bannermen across the country can sit on their

Steam ships to Japan or Southeast Asia to establish an independent country!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone started talking. Some continued to reprimand Chu Zha, and some whispered to evaluate the authenticity. After a while, the person who just spoke stood up. This time he pulled out a single sword, but this time he did not point at it.

Chuza, but pointed at Delengtai!

"Commander, Chuza would never have the guts to say such a thing. I will ask you, did you arrange this?!"

Delengtai asked: "So what if it is? So what if it's not?"

I saw that the man's face was pale and his figure was shaky. He was the deputy commander of Zhenghongqi in Manchuria. Before Delengtai arrived, he was the commander of the western part of the inner city. He was also a descendant of Prince Li Daishan.

Chengxi City has a very high prestige.

I saw him punching the ground with a single sword, and then shouted to several Manchu generals: "De Lengtai, Chu Zha colluded in the rebellion, what are you doing sitting here?!"

As he said that, he took out another gold medal arrow from his arms!

The hall was brightly lit, and the gold medal was clearly engraved with the two characters "imperial system"!

If it were normal, everyone would kneel down when they see this token, "seeing the token is like seeing you!"

Obviously, this is the back-up plan of Emperor Qianlong or Agui.

"Why are you still standing there waiting for me? Why don't you buy Delengtai's flower feather on your head? This card is a gift from the emperor. From now on, I am the capital of Xicheng!"

The title of emperor was still quite effective at this time. In an instant, more than a dozen Manchu Eight Banners generals stood up!

Delengtai sighed secretly in his heart again, and saw that he also pulled out the single sword in his hand, and then swung it downwards!

"Bang..."

There was a burst of intensive musketry in the hall, and then more than a dozen generals, including the deputy commander, fell.

Then the remaining Sauron soldiers walked to the remaining people with their spears.

Chu Zha was the first to kneel down in front of De Lengtai, "Commander, those who understand the current affairs are heroes. I am willing to only follow the lead of the Commander!"

The remaining seven or eight people had no choice but to kneel down when they saw this.

Delengtai nodded, "It's not that I don't trust you, it's just that the situation is too urgent. Please hand over the tokens in your arms."

Before dawn, Delengtai's men took control of all the military camps on the west city wall.

After receiving Delentai's signal, the Truchen people launched a real attack and occupied all the walls of the inner city around ten o'clock in the morning!

Ashina actually suspended his attack after seeing the fire in the imperial city, but De Lentai's success made him wake up.
Chapter completed!
