Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 413 Soldiers enter the Daming Mansion (Part [-])
The speed at which the ancients conveyed military information was far faster than we imagined. They passed the beacon through post stations. Where there were no post stations, the scouts were responsible for each section, flying horses to send letters, and there were some ways and means that we could not imagine.

Therefore, without modern warfare technology such as telephones, telecommunications, and telegraphs, they can still transmit military information hundreds of miles in a day.

Take Tiebi Canglong He Zhaoxiong and the others as an example. After the success of diving into the city, they promptly sent people to dive to spread the situation around them outside the city. Zhu Yousong was able to get in touch with them in time and give instructions.

Because they had very limited troops to sneak into the city, they had to pay attention to an appropriate timing to seize the fort and open the city gate.Early action or delayed action will inevitably lead to serious consequences.

The time Zhu Yousong agreed with them was two hours after the substitution started, that is, they would start at the end of the afternoon of the day.

Before the action, He Zhaoxiong led three generals and 1000 troops into the Qing army, lined up in the cemetery, and then divided the troops into two groups.

Li Quan and Liu Chunhong led 200 people to snatch the south gate. After they succeeded, they opened the gate to welcome Zhu Yousong's team into the city.

He Zhaoxiong and his daughter led the remaining 800 people to snatch the fort.

Because they had prepared well in advance, from makeup to language, and had already stepped on the route, they found out the situation of the Qing army guarding the city gate and the defense of the fort.

Therefore, the action was very fast and smooth, and almost no obstacles were encountered. He Zhaoxiong's 800 men appeared in front of the fort of the Qing army.

Now dozens of red cannons of the Qing army are all on the top of the city.The commander-in-chief of the artillery battalion commanded 3000 troops and was responsible for artillery fire.

At this time, He Zhaoxiong was also pretending to be the commander-in-chief of the Qing army, and the eight hundred subordinates were his guards.

Regarding the sudden appearance of this team, the commander-in-chief of the artillery battalion of the Qing army had no doubts, because they said that they came to convey the general order of Hong Chengchou, the Minister of the Ministry of War and the right deputy of the Prince Taibao.

It's just that the chief military officer felt that He Zhaoxiong in front of him was a little strange. With so many counterfeit goods mixed in in broad daylight, can he not be unfamiliar?
The commander-in-chief is not a bastard either, he wants to see He Zhaoxiong's Commanding Arrow Talisman.

But as soon as he got close to He Zhaoxiong, He Zhaoxiong made a sudden move, and with one stab, the chief soldier of the artillery battalion was decapitated.

Then He Zhaoxiong and He Xuanjiao led [-] warriors to wash the fort with blood. The [-] artillerymen of the Qing army were caught off guard and were caught off guard. The two sides fought on the top of the city for half an hour. He was killed and scattered, and dozens of cannons in red clothes fell into the hands of He Zhaoxiong and others.

But in broad daylight, a "subordinate mutiny" suddenly appeared on the top of the city, and Hong Chengchou, who was in charge of temporarily defending the city, soon got the news.

The temporary commander-in-chief Hong Chengchou was so frightened that he never dreamed that the Qing army would mutiny. What part is this?Killing the chief soldier of the artillery battalion and seizing the fort at the top of the city, is this still worth it?If the Ming army came to attack the city at this time, the consequences would be disastrous.

He had to send troops to suppress it. Now there are only 6000 troops in the city, and the remaining 12 Qing troops were all taken outside the city by Dorgon and Zhu Yousong.

But before Hong Chengchou sent out the suppressing soldiers, someone came to report in a panic: "Report to your lord, there is a mutiny at the south gate, and a man of unknown origin has taken the gate. The Lord General of the city gate died on the spot."

When He Zhaoxiong and his daughter seized the fort at the top of the city, 200 people including Li Quan and Liu Chunhong also attacked.

The timing of their actions was very good. Although it was late afternoon in broad daylight, the defense in the city was empty. There were only 6000 people defending the huge Daming Mansion.The rest of the Qing soldiers at [-] o'clock are all absent from the city, Dorgon, Azig, Sony, Zu Dashou, etc., all these macho characters are missing.Although Hong Chengchou was famous, he was only a civil servant after all.

Therefore, this gave He Zhaoxiong and the others an opportunity.

Generals Li Quan and Liu Chunhong also did a great job. Wearing the clothes of the Qing army, they lined up with knives and guns, and swaggered to the gate of the south city.

The chief general guarding the city gate was surnamed Yu, who was a commander-in-chief of the Qing army. This Master Yu led 1000 troops to guard the city gate of Banan.

Li Quan told the lord that he was ordered to take over from lord Yu to guard the south gate, but lord Yu was taken aback when he heard this.

Li Quan said that he had a soldier's talisman to make an arrow, and when he approached this puzzled Lord Yu, he only had one knife, and the Lord Yu immediately turned into a headless ghost.

Then Liu Chunhong and Li Quan led 200 people to kill anyone they saw. Although there were many [-] Qing troops, they were caught off guard and had no time to gather. Most of them were killed, and the rest scattered like birds and beasts.

Li Quan and Liu Chunhong did not chase after them, and commanded 200 people to seize the south gate.

Terrible!The subordinates mutinied one after another, but Hong Chengchou's military talent was undeniable. After a little analysis, they knew that the two mutinous Qing troops must be fakes, not instigators of rebellion, but spies mixed in by the Ming army.

But the Daming Mansion is heavily guarded, how did so many Ming troops get in?Occupying the fort and seizing the city gate is not something a few spies can do. This is an organized and premeditated unified action. The problem is too serious!
Dare not to conceal and not report, Hong Chengchou was deeply aware of the heavy responsibility. While ordering people to report to Dorgon outside the city, he gathered 6000 troops and divided them into two groups. Take the fort.

At this time, Hong Chengchou of course knew that Dorgon outside the city had already fought with the Ming army.

Hong Chengchou has not received Dorgon's order, and of course he has not captured the fort and city gate, Dorgon has already been defeated.

Dorgon, with the remnants of the defeated generals, could no longer hold back his position, and Zhu Yousong led 20 Ming troops with an unstoppable force to kill the Tartars by their buttocks.

When Dorgon was defeated by the city of Damingfu, there was a fierce battle between the top of the city and the south gate.He still didn't know who was fighting with whom. When Dorgon was shocked, someone came to report that a team of Ming army had sneaked into the city and seized the fort and the south gate. Hong Chengchou mobilized heavy troops to destroy the Ming army.

Dorgon also felt that the situation was serious. When did the Ming army sneak into the city to seize the fort and the city gate?How did they get in there?Dorgon, like Hong Chengchou, couldn't figure it out even after thinking about it.

But at this moment, he had no time to think about these things, and he didn't dare to enter the city through the south gate.Leading the remnants of the defeated generals into the city through the other three gates.

But Dorgon's men and horses entered the city, and Zhu Yousong led a large number of Ming troops to attack Daming Mansion from the south gate...
