The ruthless emperor in the late Ming Dynasty forced Chongzhen to abdicate at the beginning

Chapter 82
As soon as it got dark, the fleet split into two and slowly approached Shanhaiguan. All the lights on the ship were extinguished.

Even so, the seven warships carrying 2000 people still stopped two miles from the shore. It was still windy tonight and the night sky was starless.

A dozen small boats were put down, and Huang Gonggong took 2000 people and rowed back and forth nearly ten times. It took more than two hours before they all went ashore.

After landing, sure enough, there was a brightly lit camp seven or eight miles to the north, and the flames on the city wall could be faintly seen five or six miles to the east.

This made the 2000 people dare not take a breath.

After staying in place for an hour and a half, Huang Degong ordered to touch the south gate of the main city until late at night.

This was also an agreement between the two parties. After Wu Sangui's careful calculation, because there are many people in the east, the action must be much slower, and we must wait.

The 2000 people walked eastward for three or four miles along the coastline and then stopped. At this time, the silhouettes of patrolling soldiers could be clearly seen on the small castle called Laolongtou on the southernmost seashore.

"Mr. Huang, follow this ditch and you will be able to reach the moat outside the south city gate." A servant pointed to a ditch in front of him and said.

"Oh?"

Huang Degong's eyes lit up as he looked at the two-foot-wide and half-foot-deep ravine in front of him. If this was the case, the risk of being discovered by the enemy on the east tower would be greatly reduced.

"This ditch was originally used to prevent the water from rising suddenly in the moat and to facilitate the rapid discharge of water into the sea. It is usually not used," Jia Ding said.

Sure enough, the bottom of the ditch was very dry. Huang Degong was overjoyed. With a wave of his hand, 2000 people quietly walked north along the ditch.

After only four or five miles, it was almost at the end, and a moat appeared in front of it.

Behind the moat is a city wall, and a little further to the left, there is a gate tower, which is the south gate of the main city of Shanhaiguan, and one mile to the east is the first small castle on the south side.

Thirty servants in black clothes and black trousers, with ropes and long knives on their backs, crossbows and grapples climbed out of the dry ditch, touched the moat, then quietly entered the water, and crossed to the base of the city wall.

Obviously, among Wu Sangui's [-] family members, it is not a problem to choose [-] who can swim.

After the patrolling soldiers on the wall passed by, ten servants quickly shot ten grappling hook ropes towards the wall with crossbows, and the ten servants who were waiting in full force immediately grabbed the ropes and quickly climbed up.

The sound made when the grapple landed on the ground also attracted the attention of two soldiers standing guard not far away, and they came over to check.

It's just that before the two of them approached, two sharp arrows shot from under the wall, directly into the heads of the two of them, and they fell down instantly.

Just as the ten people turned over to the top of the city, they drew their long knives from their backs, and another group of patrolling soldiers came in front of them.

"kill!"

Ten people rushed forward without hesitation.

"Enemy attack!"

There were only five patrolling soldiers who came, and when they saw the man in black pounced, they immediately screamed.

But it was only a moment before five people were cut down and fell to the ground, while the other ten climbed up along the rope.

"The soldiers are divided into two groups. You go to open the door, and we go to put the suspension bridge..."

Seeing that it had been exposed, one of the servant captains immediately gave orders, knowing that he couldn't wait for the last ten people to come up.

The 20 people immediately split into two groups.

Ten people killed along the top of the city towards the tower, and ten people killed along the steps towards the city gate.

Fortunately, this section of the city wall is only a few dozen steps away from the tower, and when ten people rushed to the tower along the top of the city, the soldiers near the tower only partially reacted.

"kill!"

Although the enemy was outnumbered, the opponents who were still killed by the ten servants retreated repeatedly, not daring to parry.

Because they were fighting against the North Korean servant army, a total of nearly a hundred people, who were wailing and howling after being killed by ten servants.

"Quickly, put down the suspension bridge, don't love to fight!"

Captain Ding saw that some brothers were red-eyed and wanted to chase after them, so he immediately roared.

All the servants immediately worked together to lower the suspension bridge.

With a bang, the drawbridge was put on the moat.

"on!"

Although the city gate hadn't opened yet, Huang Degong, who was already sweating profusely in anxiety, didn't delay at all. He immediately waved and led the men and horses to climb out of the ditch and rush towards the suspension bridge.

At this time, all the soldiers patrolling and standing guard near the city gate, which had already made a lot of noise, rushed towards this side.

The ear-piercing sound of the gong was simply tingling.

There was also constant yelling in the small castle near the main city in the south, and the patrolling soldiers in the old dragon head castle near the sea also noticed something was wrong.

Obviously, as long as the soldiers in the two castles fight out, Huang Degong's 2000 people can be blocked on the suspension bridge.

What's more, there is a large camp of Tartars in the west.

So seeing that the city gate was still not open, everyone was anxious like ants on a hot pot, but there was nothing they could do.

At this time, a bloody battle was taking place behind the gate. Dozens of North Korean servants guarding the gate were blocked in the cave by ten servants. They had nowhere to escape and could only resist desperately.

"Quick, hack these bastards to death..."

Seeing people coming here from all directions, the ten servants almost peed in a hurry, their eyes were red, and they slashed and killed desperately.

However, it takes a while to chop even dozens of pigs, not to mention dozens of people with knives.

After only seven or eight North Korean servants were left to be killed, only five of the ten servants were left, and all of them were covered in blood and wounds. What's more, a large number of people had rushed into the city gate hole.

Three of them showed determination, turned around and went up to meet and kill them, while the other two threw themselves at the horizontal bar of the bolt door, and one of them killed the seven North Korean servants.

"what…"

I saw that famous Jia Ding tried his best to lift up the horizontal bar weighing several tens of catties, but was hacked on the back by a North Korean servant at the side. He was stabbed again and fell down.

Another servant, after killing three people, was also knocked to the ground by three other people.

And the three servants who rushed forward, after killing two of them each, were also overwhelmed by countless North Korean servants.

The main reason is that none of the ten people wore armor, otherwise these North Korean servants might not be able to do it.

Although the door bolt was only moved down one end, the people outside the door worked together to push the door open a crack through which two people passed.

Several servants squeezed in immediately, just in time to see five brothers being killed, and a large number of enemy troops rushed over.

"Chop up these offal!"

Immediately, their eyes were bloodshot, and they rushed forward like a tiger.

The four North Korean servants on the side were the first to suffer, and they were killed in an instant before they could react.

The few people who squeezed in from behind quickly removed the door latch completely and threw it aside.

"kill!"

As the city gate was completely pushed open, 2000 people rushed in screaming like a flood that broke the embankment.

And those servants turned around and ran away in fright.

These 2000 people were all Wu Sangui's servants, and they were familiar with the way. Once they entered the city, they didn't care about fighting at all. Some of them rushed up the city wall along the stairs, and then killed along the top of the city towards the east tower.

The rest of the people followed the base of the city wall and killed towards the east gate of Zhendong, ignoring the city gate behind them, and the Han soldiers and Korean servants who rushed over.

"Kill it!"

At the same time, Wu Sangui also led a small group of elites to the outside of the urn city in the east. He also managed to open the gate, and then sent out a signal. The army hidden far away swarmed towards this side!
