1384 Reinforcements arrive
But he couldn't say much at this moment, so he could only nod and say, "Good man!"
The city gate officer looked up at the shadowy Qing army opposite the fire, thinking about whether to throw some wood into the city gate hole so that the fire could be more prosperous and last longer, so as to block the city gate hole.
At this moment, he heard someone shouting in panic behind him: "Shandong soldiers are attacking!"
Everyone looked back in panic, and the staff officer turned around with surprise. He saw that the last empty man had been occupied by Shandong soldiers! The soldiers were quickly demolishing the barricades to transport the artillery!
All the people present were all looking like earth! Now they were completely trapped between the Qing army and Shandong soldiers! They were double-teamed by two enemies at once, and everyone didn't know what to do. Everyone looked at the staff officer and waited for him, the leader, to make an idea!
Seeing this, the staff officer immediately shouted loudly: "Brothers, don't be afraid! Our reinforcements are here! They are reinforcements!"
He shouted out at this voice, and the Guanning soldiers who had some intentions to fight were all stunned! Look at me one by one, and I was stunned! They never thought that the reinforcements they were looking forward to were actually the enemy!
At this time, the staff officer said proudly: "My surname is Yu, and his name is Yu Daming! He is a lieutenant and staff officer under the command of the Grand Marshal! The Grand Marshal sent me here to protect Shanhaiguan and prevent the Tartars from burning the city! Everyone did a good job this time, and the Grand Marshal will definitely be rewarded!"
Everyone was relieved when they heard him say this. Someone asked in a low voice: "Brother Yu, are you saying true? You won't catch us beheaded, right?"
Yu Daming said with a pride: "What are you talking about? I said there will definitely be rewards if you have rewards! Okay, everyone will keep their weapons so as not to cause misunderstandings!"
Everyone stood there as they said that the weapons were ready, and the staff officer quickly walked up to him. While walking forward, he shouted loudly: "I am the staff officer Yu Daming. The command is to move forward bravely!"
The soldiers who had just raised the musket relaxed when they heard the command, put away their weapons and accelerated the dismantling of the barricades. Yu Daming walked quickly to the front and shouted loudly: "Sir Zhang, where are you? Quickly
Call Chief Zhang over!"
I heard someone in the crowd shouting: "Is Xiao Yu? I'm here!"
While speaking, a big man pushed the crowd away and walked out. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Yu Daming and said, "It's really you! How about it, you're not injured? The soldiers reported that you ran from Guanning Army. What happened there? Why is there still a fire in the city gate opening?"
The officers led the team threw away a series of questions, and Yu Daming had no time to answer for a moment and said directly: "Captain Zhang, the Guanning soldiers who blocked the door have made contributions! They tried hard to block the Qing army outside, but they really couldn't beat them! I took the opportunity to set a fire, so that they could block them outside the city! You have to hurry up and take over the city gate!"
The officer leading the team was overjoyed and patted his thighs and said, "Good boy, you have made great contributions!"
Yu Daming wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "That's a life-and-death! But when you send someone to take over the city gate, you are kinder, don't be surprised! In addition, there are less than 100 Qing soldiers on the city. We need to clean up together!"
The officer leading the team heard this and said loudly: "Brothers, have you heard it clearly? Be kind to those Guanning Army! Maybe you can eat in a pot in the future! Zhang Dabiao, I'll give you two hundred people, and now I'll kill all the Qing army on the city wall!"
With a promise, a tough officer walked out, quickly pointed the people together, and ran towards the city gate with Yu Daming.
Under Yu Daming's explanation, the Guanning Army soldiers surrendered smoothly! And as encouragement to them, they were authorized to temporarily possess weapons and be responsible for the North Gate's vigilance.
Afterwards, Yu Daming also commanded the Guanning Army soldiers to carry out a beautiful feint attack on the horse road on the right! Zhang Dabiao took the opportunity to lead the musket soldiers to attack the city on the left! After a short battle, he successfully wiped out the Qing army soldiers on the city and completely controlled the north gate.
Then Yu Daming divided the surrendered Guanning Army soldiers into several groups, and Shandong soldiers protected them to go to various places to preach the Tartars' burning of the city! With these personal explanations from the parties involved, and the North City Gate was completely controlled by Shandong soldiers, those Guanning Army
I also knew that I was abandoned as an abandoned son, so most of them chose to surrender. A small number of those who resisted stubbornly were naturally destroyed directly!
By the afternoon, Liu Pei had completely grasped the entire Shanhaiguan! What surprised him was that during this period, the Qing army was very quiet and had no intention of attacking Shanhaiguan at all. This made him very confused!
But he didn't care about the Qing army at this time. After all, the Qing army was in hand, so the Qing army was no longer threatening him! So he began to count the spoils with peace of mind.
During the subsequent inventory, Liu Pei found that Wu Sangui had indeed abandoned the soldiers in the city. He transferred all the more than 60,000 main troops outside the city, and a large number of officers were accompanied by a large number of families.
As for the remaining soldiers in the city, there are less than 20,000, only a small number of them are controlled by elite soldiers, and the other combat troops are ordinary troops.
Moreover, Liu Pei also seized a large amount of food and other supplies at the peak. This made Liu Pei feel relieved. These supplies were all because he attacked too quickly and Wu Sangui didn't have time to move and destroy them. Now they are all cheaper!
By the evening, the officer told him that when Shanhaiguan had officially mastered and the deployment of defense was completed, and the people were very quiet and did not show too much resistance, Liu Pei was completely relieved.
At this point, most of his grand strategies have been completed. The choice he faces now is whether to fight a great war with the Qing army? If the war begins, should we continue to annihilate the Qing army or to clean up the problems inside the pass first.
It was already time for Liu Pei to finish his official duties. He was tired and led his people to the city wall, wanting to relax. Liu Pei stood behind the chassis and looked into the distance. He could clearly see a large area of continuous camps in the distance. That was the Qing army's camp!
Originally, the Qing army's camp was very close to the Shanhaiguan city wall, but after the North Gate was lost in the afternoon, the Qing army took the initiative to pull the camp back! This also made Liu Pei puzzled! In his mind, the Qing army was definitely not a good-looking army, but he couldn't guess what Dorgon was thinking?
Chapter completed!
