Ming Dynasty fake eunuch

Chapter 697
Those who count people, people also count.

Shah Jahan and Dorgon's target was the British artillery, and Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong's target was also there. For no other reason, the artillery that Ye Xun allocated to the old man Bashik was not the most advanced in Ming Dynasty, so in In terms of firepower, the British's artillery is similar to that of Bashik's. Destroying the British's artillery is tantamount to breaking off a pair of wings of the enemy.

According to the plan, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong planned to push the artillery out of the city at midnight, and then bombarded the British camp indiscriminately.

These two brothers are both quite tigers, and at the same time, after knowing that Ye Xun is coming, they want to pay for their merits, so they bet all their bets on this battle.

It's not that they didn't think that Dorgon would take advantage of the situation to attack, but it was not daytime, and even if Dorgon wanted to attack, he would be more cautious.

Judging from what the two of them did in another time and space, such a risky thing is definitely the style of these two brothers.

What Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong didn't expect was that after the third watch, before they left the city, the camp of the British army broke into chaos first.

Those in charge of the assault were all direct descendants brought out by Dorgon himself over the years. They first sneaked up to the British camp, killed the sentry and opened the camp gate before sending a signal to the cavalry waiting behind.

As I said before, the strength of the British army lies in their firearms. They are simply not enough to fight immediately or fight in close quarters.

The Mongolian iron cavalry under Dorgon first opened the way with bows and arrows, and after completely igniting the British army camp, the iron cavalry followed up and rushed into the British army camp with almost no effort.

At this time, the British generals, including Governor Jones, had just been awakened by the shouts of killing, but it was too late to say anything at this time.

The soldiers brought out by Dorgon can be said to have completely inherited the style of his father Nurhachi, the harvest belongs to the individual, and the military merit is judged by the head.

All of them were extremely ferocious, and after rushing in, they only killed the corpses of the British soldiers all over the field, and blood flowed into rivers.

Sha Jahan, who was watching the battle from afar, was also secretly startled. The strength of this brother-in-law is too terrifying. After the restoration of the country in the future, he can't keep him no matter what, or he might lose his position.
Dorgon didn't think so far, but what is certain is that once the big thing is accomplished, he will never bow down to others. Except for that person, there will be no second person in this world who can make him bow down.

The defeat of the British army was decided, and there was nothing to watch. Dorgon's eyes could not help turning to the towering city wall in the distance, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, the opportunity is given to you, are you really afraid to come out?"

Dorgon thought that Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong would take advantage of the fire to loot, but he didn't expect that the two brothers had no intention of sending troops to join the war.

"Report to General, the city gate is open, and the defenders show signs of mobilizing."

"Ha ha."

Hearing the report from his subordinates, Dorgon couldn't help but looked up to the sky and laughed, and then stopped laughing, and said sharply: "Withdraw the troops, let Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong come over, and then cut off their retreat, leaving no one behind."

In the past few years, these two boys have been staring at him furtively by his side. Dorgon doesn't say anything on the surface, but he is already disgusted in his heart, but this time he will never let them go.

Strange to say, the British camp was not too far away from the city wall, but after waiting for a long time, neither Li Zicheng nor Zhang Xianzhong's troops came over, nor did they see the slightest fire coming out from a distance.

In the depths of Dorgon's heart, he has always looked down on these two brothers, and always feels that they are relying on their master's promotion to serve as his assistants, so it is inevitable that they will be a little contemptuous.

At this time, Shah Jahan reminded: "Let's send someone over to check it out! Don't think these people are up to any conspiracy."

Dorgon frowned, and thought that although there were many people in the city, but at this time, what other tricks could they use?
Thinking about it, he beckoned his subordinates to take a look, but before he could go far, he saw bursts of flames suddenly appearing not far from the city, followed by the sound of a huge explosion when the artillery was fired.

"Oh no, get out!"

A wise man is bound to make a mistake, and Dorgon never expected that the two people he had always looked down upon would teach him a solid lesson this time.

Dorgon's subordinates were still enjoying the killing in the British army camp at this time, and they never thought that the sky full of flames had become the best target.

"Boom, boom"

The continuous artillery fire, the shells poured into the camp like raindrops, only to blow up the people in the camp, and the stumps and broken arms flew all over the sky. It was as miserable as it could be.

The two brothers Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong fired indiscriminately, and the shells were also the most powerful explosive shells. When they fell in the dense camp, the effect can be imagined.

What about the British Governor and Brigadier General, there is no wronged soul under the cannon, let me first bombard you for talking.

Dorgon ordered his subordinates to withdraw quickly, but he didn't withdraw immediately. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but tear his eyes apart. These are all his direct subordinates!He was counting on them to fight against Ye Xun, but now he died here without any reason, and he felt his heart was bleeding.

"Your Majesty, please send troops to sweep Bashik's artillery position immediately. After clearing this position, we can directly enter the city."

Shah Jahan also understood what was going on, but it was not his direct subordinates who rushed into the British camp, so he felt no pain, and this might as well be an opportunity to weaken Dorgon.

In addition, Bashik's army had been out of the city for a long time before firing. What have they done in the meantime, but no one can guarantee that what if they set up some powerful ambushes?Not to mention anything else, just burying a bunch of landmines is enough to kill you.

Thinking of this, he shook his head and said, "It's no longer suitable to fight anymore. If you don't leave, the guns will be aimed at us in a while, so hurry up and let your people withdraw."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Dorgon's reaction, he turned his horse's head and withdrew with his own troops.

Dorgon couldn't help being dumbfounded when he saw this, this is his eldest brother, although they all understand that they are using each other, but there is no need to be so desperate, right?

In fact, without his order, those subordinates who escaped from the muzzle of the gun had already gathered towards him.

"General, let's go! After a while, the artillery fire will extend, and we will really be unable to leave."

The guard's words immediately awakened Dorgon, who was in a rage, and he turned his horse's head and ran away first without ordering.

It's over, it's over.

Dorgon, who was running wildly, suddenly felt as if God was joking with him. Yesterday, the three-way army besieged the city with a certain chance of winning. Why did it become like this in less than a day?

Not to mention Dorgon, even Shah Jahan didn't expect such an ending. Once the three-way army collapsed, it also marked the failure of the battle against Bashik, so what's next?Do we want to continue this battle?
Compared to Governor Jones and the others, Shah Jahan and Dorgon were considered better. In the bombardment, Governor Jones was killed on the spot, and William was lucky enough to survive after being knocked unconscious.
