Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 15 The enemy's plan, the change of Qingzhou
Li Shiyuan was able to enter Qingzhou and say to surrender Zhao Yingyuan, there must be an internal response in the city, and the only reason why they can enter the city quietly is that the city gate guard has been bought by the internal response.

Wang Yan was thinking of Li Shiyuan hosting a banquet at the north gate tower. Zhou Yong, the guard guarding the north gate, must have surrendered to the Qing army. As long as they suddenly riot at the banquet, Zhao Yingyuan and others will definitely be in trouble!
From the very beginning, the Qing army had no intention of letting Zhao Yingyuan go!

Thinking of this, Wang Yan's body suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, he stood up suddenly under the surprised eyes of everyone, and exclaimed in his mouth: "No! It's a trick of a traitor!"

Liu Shun on the side didn't understand why Wang Yan was so excited all of a sudden, he stopped cursing and looked at him blankly.

Wang Yan attracted everyone's attention, but he didn't explain, but hurried to the door of the barracks, and shouted to the soldiers of Zhao Jun who were guarding outside the door: "Quickly report to Zhao Yingyuan that Zhou Yong has surrendered, be careful about the banquet." There is fraud."

Although Wang Yan now hates Zhao Yingyuan to the bone, he does not want Zhao Jun to be destroyed in his hands like this. Moreover, once the Qing army enters the city, the people in the city will inevitably suffer from a military disaster, and he and the more than 200 brothers who were imprisoned will also die. undoubtedly.

Wang Yan shouted loudly, which alarmed the guards outside the gate, but he was only a small soldier with a humble status. How could he be in charge of such a thing, but the new recruits in Qingzhou City were all recruited and trained by Wang Yan. He already sympathized with Zhao Yingyuan's imprisonment, but now he was shocked to hear that the Qing army was deceiving him, so he naturally didn't dare to neglect, and ran away in a hurry to find the officer who stayed in the camp.

While waiting anxiously, Wang Yan walked back and forth in the barracks. His abnormality made everyone feel that something was unusual, and they all quieted down and stood together solemnly.

All the generals of Zhao Jun went to the banquet, and the officers who stayed at the camp were brought by the soldiers after a while. Wang Yan saw that he was still an old acquaintance, Wang Wei, who was unable to attend the banquet because of his previous injuries, so he was left to guard the camp.

Wang Yan hurriedly shared his speculation with him, but he was interrupted by a sudden cannon fire in the middle of the talk.

Hearing the sound of "Boom", everyone was stunned, while Wang Yan leaned against the wall decadently, and said to himself weakly, "It's over! It's too late!"

On the city tower, Li Shiyuan set up more than [-] tables. Zhao Yingyuan and Hetuo and others who came here exchanged cups and cups. While they were talking happily, the sound of trumpets burst out. As soon as he chopped it down, Zhao Yingyuan was seriously injured by He Tuo, who was at the same table.

The [-] Qing troops brought by Hetuo were all elites inlaid with Huang, genuine Manchurians at a fair price, but Zhao Yingyuan felt that he was in his own territory, and did not arrange many troops for the banquet. The Zhao soldiers and horses in the brigade were all guarding outside the tower.

It's easy to calculate with your mind without intention, but it's difficult to prevent with intention without intention!

Unexpectedly, most of the Zhao Jun generals who were attending the banquet were stabbed to death. Zhao Yingyuan and the others were shocked, and wanted to run away while dragging their injured bodies. As soon as he slashed with the knife, it was indeed Zhou Yong, the city gate guard who had already thrown himself into the Qing Dynasty, and brought his infantry to help the Qing soldiers in the battle.

Seeing that it was Zhao Jun rushing up, Zhao Yingyuan and others were overjoyed at first, but they suddenly reacted when several Zhao Jun generals who were running ahead were cut down head-on.

For a while, Zhao Yingyuan and many generals of Zhao Jun were blocked in the tower. He was startled and angry, and pointed at Zhou Yong who came up and cursed. "Thief! I have treated you well, why did you betray me!"

When Zhao Yingyuan entered Qingzhou and saw Zhou Yong's cleverness, he kept him and promoted him to be the guard of the north gate.

That Zhou Yong knew he was wrong, so he didn't dare to answer, but just beheaded Zhao Jun.

In a short time, most of the Zhao army who went to the banquet were killed or injured. Yang Wangxiu, a civil servant, was an opponent of the wolf-like Qing soldiers. Knowing that he must die, he no longer dodged, but suddenly pointed at Zhao Yingyuan and said: "The general killed me! If you die now, your reputation will not be guaranteed!"

After speaking, he smashed through the doors and windows, jumped from the tower, fell into the city and died.

At this time, the gate of the city had already been opened by Zhou Yong's men, and the Qing army ambushing outside the city rushed in and rushed into the city in an instant.

"Bang bang bang~"

A row of birds sounded, and the Qing soldiers who had just rushed into the city were knocked down by the oncoming Zhao Jun and knocked down dozens of people.

The camp where Wang Yan and others were detained was located in the north of the city. They heard the sound of trumpets, and then there was a sudden commotion outside Qingzhou City, and then they heard bursts of shouts and exclamations. They knew that the Qing army had entered the city.

Although Wang Yan was frustrated, now is not the time to be decadent. Exclamations of "the Qing army has entered the city" sounded everywhere in the city, and the Zhao army in the city was already in chaos. Then they're all over.

The officers of the Zhao army were overthrown by the Qing army, and the soldiers of the Zhao army in the camp were leaderless. They knew that the Qing army entered the city and Zhao Yingyuan was in danger, but no one was in charge. They didn't know what to do.

Knowing the seriousness of the situation, Wang Wei released Wang Yan and others regardless of Zhao Yingyuan's orders.

In the battle that day, Wang Yan established a lot of prestige in the Zhao army, and when all the officers were lost, the soldiers also obeyed him.

Immediately, he asked Liu Shun, Wang Wei and other small officers who were still in the camp to simply rectify the soldiers in the battalion, and there were more than [-] soldiers ready to fight.

He led the troops out of the gate of the camp. Wang Wei and others wanted to go straight to the south gate to escape from Qingzhou, but they were dragged by Wang Yan.

The Qing army besieged the city on three sides, leaving the south gate alone. Since they used tricks to defraud the city tonight, they naturally knew that the Zhao army in the chaos would instinctively flee to the south gate. The Qing army must have been prepared.

After listening to Wang Yan's explanation, Wang Wei and others also felt that it was reasonable, so they followed Wang Yan's guidance and went straight to the north gate. Unexpectedly, when they left the camp gate, they ran into the Qing army entering the city head-on.

Fortunately, there were only more than 1000 people in this Qing army. After three rounds of shooting, they were forced to retreat by Wang Yan and the others.

Wang Yan led more than 500 people and pushed the Qing army back to the north gate, and the Qing army barely stabilized its position.

At this time, the battle on the tower was at its last moment.

Zhao Yingyuan was hit one after another, but it was already too late, and he was protected by Zhao Si and others, struggling to support him.

Seeing this, Wang Yan had no intention of rescue. Instead, he immediately asked Wang Wei to lead a team of troops to rush down the city to block the steps of the Qing army going down the city.

Tonight he mobilized [-] troops to attack Qingzhou, with [-] Green Battalions each at the east and west gates, and Li Shutai's [-] Han army Zhenglan Banner ambushed outside the south gate to arrest Zhao Jun who fled south. Eight thousand green battalions and a group of inlaid yellow cavalry stayed behind to guard the three camps. On the contrary, because the north gate was bound to win, the investment was the least. Except for the one hundred inlaid yellow elites and Zhou Yong who surrendered, only one thousand green battalions were left outside the city to support them. .

He Tuo didn't expect that since the Zhao army in the chaos would gather thousands of troops, instead of fleeing from the south gate in a hurry, they would go straight to the north gate.

Surrounded by Zhao Yingyuan on the city tower, there were only ten people left around him. Although Zhao Si and the others fought to the death, they were hard to beat with two fists, and four more were hacked to death by the Qing army in an instant.

At this time, Zhao Yingyuan had already seen Wang Yan and others commanding soldiers and horses rushing towards the city gate. He felt unspeakable bitterness in his heart. Seeing the old people around him fall down one by one, he was completely hopeless.

"Zhao Si! Don't worry about me, you still have a chance to survive if you jump down!" There are more than 500 Qing soldiers and Zhou Yong's men in the city. It is impossible for Zhao Yingyuan and others to kill them. You must die, Zhao Yingyuan suddenly shouted at Zhao Si and others who were still alive.

Although Zhao Yingyuan is wrong in every way, he treats the old people around him very well, so he has been ups and downs for many years, but the old people still follow him.

"You don't need to say much, General!" Zhao Si and the others listened to his words, but they didn't plan to leave. Instead, they replied firmly while resisting the Qing army. "I am willing to die with the general!"

For a moment, Zhao Yingyuan couldn't help tearing up his eyes when he saw the figures standing around him defending him from swords and falling down. He knew that he would not die, and all the old brothers had to stay here. Suddenly he shouted, " I regret not listening to Shi Heng's words, and I will end up today!"

Heroes worth mentioning!Dog thief worth mentioning!
Right and wrong, future generations comment!
Zhao Yingyuan killed himself with a knife, stunned Zhao Si and the others, and also made the Qing army stunned, but then they fought together amidst utter wailing.

The remaining six generals of the Zhao army did not follow Zhao Yingyuan's last words to find their own way of life, but rushed to the Qing soldiers in grief and indignation, wanting to take back Zhao Yingyuan's body.

But there were too many Qing soldiers in the city, and in a short while, only Zhao Si was left among the six. He carried Zhao Yingyuan's body on his back, brandished a knife and fought chaotically with the Qing soldiers, and rushed towards the edge of the tower step by step. During the attack, he was finally stabbed to death by four long spears.

In ancient times, there were five hundred soldiers from Tian Heng, and now there is an army under Ying Yuan's command.

The tragic atmosphere spread throughout the city, and even their opponents were shocked by these scenes.

With the destruction of the entire Zhao army on the city and the death of Zhao Yingyuan, Wang Yan in the city couldn't help crying, and all the hatred dissipated, leaving only infinite sighs. Suddenly, a paragraph of words appeared in his mind, which was hundreds of Years later another world recorded the incident.

"In September of the Jiashen year, Zhao Yingyuan and Yang Wangxiu entered Qingzhou, killed Wang Aoyong, helped establish Hengfan to resist the Qing Dynasty, and Shandong was shaken!

"In October of the Jiashen year, when the Qing troops arrived in Qingzhou, Li Shiyuan, the demoted official, offered a plan to outwit him. He colluded with the officials and gentry in the city, threatened and lured them, and forced Zhao Yingyuan and Yang Wangxiu to surrender to the Qing."

"That night, Yuan held a banquet at the north gate of Fucheng, and the wine and music were grand. The Qing army ambushed outside the city. During the banquet, the sound of artillery broke out. Zhao and Yang were killed on the spot. The Zhao army was in chaos. The Qing army rushed into the city and killed the remaining party members. , the Qingzhou anti-Qing incident failed, and it was called the Qingzhou Incident in history."

The Qingzhou change has failed, but there are still more than 500 soldiers fighting fiercely with the Qing army around Wang Yan. History has quietly changed at some point~
