Outside the capital city, there are two Ming army camps.
One is Shijingshan Camp located on the northwest side, and the other is Nanda Camp located at the south end.
The Shijingshan camp is very large. On weekdays, nearly 100,000 soldiers from the Beijing camp are stationed here. However, at this time, due to the pressure of the Manchu and Qing troops, all the Ming troops originally stationed here have been stationed in the city to protect the safety of the capital.
The Southern Camp was not very large, but at this time, more than 20,000 Beijing Camp sergeants were stationed here. Because of its convenient transportation, it was the lifeline for southern supplies to enter the capital.
Since the Tumubao Incident, this was not the first time that the capital of the Ming Dynasty had encountered a foreign siege, and it did have a lot of experience in this regard.
At this time, Tongzhou and along the north side were garrisoned by Jiubian sergeants belonging to Liu Ruyi and others, while the Jingying camp was garrisoned inside and outside the capital city.
~~~~~~
The night is getting darker, but the lights in the south camp of the capital are still brightly lit.
All kinds of food and supplies arriving by water and land will be gathered here, sorted and classified, and then transported to the capital at dawn.
At this time, in addition to the more than 20,000 sergeants stationed in the Nanda camp, there were also 30,000 to 40,000 civilian coolies. These people worked hard day and night to maintain the livelihood of millions of people in the capital city.
Although it was already late at night, in the spacious grounds of Nanda Camp, supplies were piled up like mountains. Farmers came and went, loading and unloading these supplies on more than a thousand huge mules and carriages, waiting for the sky to light up.
Send this batch of supplies to the capital city.
The civilians were diligent and hardworking, but the officers guarding the surrounding areas were a little bored.
Foreign invasion is no longer a rare thing for the Ming army in the capital.
The Mongols, the Jurchens, and now the Manchus are like cutting leeks, coming one after another.
At first, they were afraid of panic, but after a few times, they were unable to break through the wide and deep walls of the capital, and they always returned without success.
Gradually, these officers adapted to it.
From the initial preparedness, to the current coercion, the sun will always rise tomorrow anyway. No matter how powerful these Tatars are, they will never be able to enter the capital city.
In addition, the troops from the nine sides have already been in place and firmly guard the northeastern defense line, which makes them feel more at ease.
At this time, dawn is approaching, the sky is about to light up, and the dawn of a new day is about to arrive.
In the camp, a guerrilla general couldn't help but take off his armor and helmet, leaving them on the ground. He spat: "Damn, I'm so tired! These Tatars are so damned.
I don’t know how to live or die, and I’m doing hard work here! Huang Laoliu, your grandson, don’t leave. I owe you the meal of wine and wine you owed me last night, and I have to make up for it today no matter what you say!”
As he spoke, he suddenly saw a young man in guerilla robes not far ahead, trying to sneak away towards the city. He quickly rushed forward and grabbed him by the skirt of his clothes.
The guerrilla named Huang Laoliu couldn't help but curse, "Li, are you fucking annoyed? I owe you, how can I lose you? Let go, I'm in a bad mood today, tomorrow
, and then make up for your meal of flower wine!"
"Hey! Grandson! Do you want to fucking admit your debt? I tell you, there is no way! You can leave if you want, just leave fifty taels of silver before leaving!" But the guerrilla surnamed Li did not intend to let it go like this.
Huang Laoliu.
In the capital camp, the disciples of noble families gathered together.
Guerrilla surnamed Li and Huang Laoliu are both from wealthy families in Beijing. Although they are young, they have already been promoted to important positions in the army. They are both considered to be powerful figures, especially in a material distribution center like Nandaying, which is rich in wealth.
.
"Damn it, Li Erpazi, isn't it just a few card games? Who is I? I still owe you this little money! Get out of my way! I am short of money now, and I will definitely throw money at you tomorrow.
On the face!" Seeing the guerrilla surnamed Li pressing hard, Huang Laoliu couldn't help but became furious.
But the guerrilla surnamed Li refused to give up, "You bastard, how can you handle the money you owe me? I won't listen to this, so give me the money quickly, otherwise, you won't be able to leave today!"
As he said this, he wanted to get into a posture and turn into a fight.
The sergeants and civilian husbands nearby also came forward one after another, ready to take a look at the excitement between the two gentlemen.
Although in the past few days, the Manchu and Qing troops have been pressing down on the country, and these officers have restrained themselves a lot, but the situation has been calm for such a long time, how can they tolerate the dandy temper of these officers?
Seeing more and more people gathering around him, the guerrilla surnamed Li couldn't help but become more and more arrogant. He just wanted to humiliate Huang Laoliu's face in front of so many people. How could this guy dare to compete with him for his fans because he didn't know how to live or die?
head?
Huang Laoliu was also angry. He didn't expect that this man named Li would dare to 'kill them all'. Although this guy was a little weak, he might not be afraid of him. He hurriedly took off his armor and helmet, and rolled up his sleeves.
, cursed: "Li, come as soon as you come, I will be afraid of you! Whoever gives in will be my grandson!"
"Hmph~! I can't get it!" The guerrilla surnamed Li snorted coldly and was about to take action.
The crowd couldn't help but burst into cheers.
"Fight! Fight! Come on!"
Seeing that the momentum of "pulling~ cheering" was rising, the guerrilla surnamed Li was not willing to lose face. He punched hard and went straight to Huang Laoliumen.
Naturally, Huang Laoliu was not willing to suffer easily, and he also raised his fist to face him.
In a moment, the two men were fighting together, causing the crowd around them to cheer.
But at this moment, the ground in the distance began to shake, and a dense black line suddenly rose in the southeast, like a biting storm, rushing straight towards South Camp!
Everyone present couldn't help but be a little stunned, what the hell is this? Is it going to rain heavily?
However, it only took a moment for everyone to notice something unusual!
"No! It's cavalry! Those are Manchu Tatars!"
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!!!"
For a moment, heart-wrenching shouts filled the air over the entire camp.
Guerrilla Li and Huang Laoliu, who were fighting fiercely, were also stunned. Fighting was their strong point. But when they heard that the Manchu Tatars had come to kill them, the two of them almost did not hesitate at all. They made one move at the same time.
He opened the door and ran back as hard as he could to escape.
In the blink of an eye, the Qing cavalry had entered the camp.
There were heartbreaking screams everywhere. The Ming army defenders were too tired to run for their lives and had no resistance at all. They were like hunting dogs entering a flock of chickens and ducks.
Countless figures fell to the ground, blood flowing all over the ground...
~~~~~
Not far away, Dorgon was riding on a tall horse, watching the one-sided massacre coldly, without much expression on his face.
They bypassed the Ming army's Tongzhou defense line tonight and sneaked hundreds of miles overnight before reaching the heart of the capital.
Except for fighting against Liu Ruyi's Colored Stone Army, no one else could touch Dorgon's excitement.
On the side, Duduo's face was filled with a cruel sneer, "Hmph~~! A bunch of chickens and dogs! Brother, tell me, if we attack here, will Liu Ruyi and the others come to support us?"
Dorgon showed a thoughtful look on his face, and for a moment, he suddenly smiled, "Liu Ruyi, who has the heart of a tiger and a wolf, shouldn't be so stupid! However, it might not be possible for others! If someone wants to give it away
If you come to your door, we will accept the order of course!"
"Hahaha! Brother Mingmei!" Duduo laughed, as if he had seen the wonderful expectations.
~~~~
The war comes and goes quickly.
Gein, at the Nan Daying camp, the Ming army really has no fighting power. It is simply inferior to the militia. In less than half an hour, there are already many dead and wounded. Including the civilians who died in the battle, there are probably tens of thousands of casualties, and almost the entire army has been wiped out.
.
After all, at this moment, it is when the human body is the most tired and vulnerable. The most critical thing is that the gate of the capital is firmly closed. Even if they want to escape, there is no way to escape. They cannot resist and can only become pigs.
Sheep were allowed to be slaughtered by the Qing army.
At this time, the sky was already bright, and not far away from the capital city, the defenders naturally saw all this clearly, and hurriedly reported it to the senior ministers in the city.
Guerrilla Li and Huang Laoliu, who were still alive and kicking just now, could not run far and had already become two dead bodies among tens of thousands.
Seeing the expected victory, Dorgon didn't have much joy on his face. He waved his hand coldly to the soldiers, "Set fire and burn them all!"
After that, he ran towards the south without looking back.
In a moment, a raging fire rose up, turning the entire sky red, and the countless corpses on the ground became the best fuel.
~~~~~
Not long after, Liu Ruyi, who was in Tongzhou, received news of the attack on the south camp of the capital. At the same time, an order came from the capital, requiring the armies of the nine sides to surround and kill this group of Qing troops who had penetrated deep into the hinterland of the Ming army.
Liu Ruyi couldn't help but shook her head tiredly.
Unexpectedly, my prediction actually came true.
Huang Taiji is really decisive!
But, are we going to send reinforcements now?
Liu Ruyi patted her cheek gently. This was clearly a trap. Nan Daying had already suffered heavy losses. If she continued to chase after him regardless of life and death, she might have fallen into Huang Taiji's plan.
Immediately, Liu Ruyi ordered his own soldiers to send orders to all armies, "Hold the camp! Don't go into battle easily!"
After calming down, Liu Ruyi was also thinking carefully.
Huang Taiji may have already seen his strengths and clearly identified the Ming army's weaknesses.
Yes, in a positional battle, the Manchu and Qing Dynasties would never be able to gain any advantage, but in terms of mobility, the Ming army could never compare with the Manchu and Qing cavalry, which were all cavalry.
The deficit formed between this round and round is his Huang Taiji's advantage.
As long as they seize this advantage, even Liu Ruyi will have a hard time defeating them from the front!
Soon, the soldiers returned to report, "The general's instructions have been conveyed to all armies! But, but..."
The soldier glanced at Liu Ruyi and stopped talking.
"explain!"
"Yes!" The soldier kowtowed to Liu Ruyi and said hurriedly: "General, the other generals will strictly abide by your military orders. However, General Yang, the commander-in-chief of Xuanfu Town, was very angry when he heard that the South Camp was attacked.
, right now, we have led our troops to the south to pursue the Qing army!"
