Chapter 496: Julu Empty City
In Julu County, Dorgon's main force of the Qing army arrived outside Julu City.
"Why is this city so weird? The city gate is wide open and there are no defenders on the top of the city?" Abatai asked in confusion at the empty city.
"Is it an empty city plan?" Dorgon, who was familiar with "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", thought of this question first.
"Master, we should not enter the city easily!" Zhaisamu beside us reminded, "Minggou is afraid that it has set up an empty city plan to ambush the city and lure our army into the city."
Dorgon suddenly laughed: "Minggou wants to build the Kong City plan, he must have the strength to defeat our army first! Then Li Laoer has already gone to Jinan, Gao Qiqian's Guanning army is still in Zhending, and Lu Xiangsheng is just following our army. Who else can defeat our Qing Tianjun?"
"Master, wise!" Zaisamu complimented.
"Our army should be careful!" Dorgon turned his head and ordered, "Let the Han army flag escort Baoyi Aha into the city first. If there is no ambush, the main force of our army will enter the city again!"
Duoduo said: "Brother, you are too cautious. Even if Minggou sets up an ambush in the city, he is not a rival to our army!"
Dorgon frowned and turned his head and replied, "My brother, what I am afraid of is not the empty city plan, but the Mingdog will bring us a fire to Xinye! The Li Laoer is full of tricks, I am afraid that he will send someone to teach the poison plan to harm our army in Julu!"
"Brother, you are wise!" Duoduo praised.
This time, Li Guodong really didn't make any plans to burn Xinye in Julu, but Duoduo never dreamed that six years later, Li Guodong made up his mind to build a "burning Xinye" plan in a big city, burning a prosperous big city into ruins. However, that battle became Li Guodong's biggest victory over the Qing Dynasty. Not only did the Qing army suffer heavy losses, but even Duoduo was captured, and a large number of Qing generals were killed in that battle.
Dorgon ordered the Han Eight Banners Meilezhangjing Ma Guangyuan to lead three hundred Han troops and escort more than a thousand Baoyi Aha into the city first.
The flag director Zhang Qinglin walked into the city with a steel knife and a bird gun in his arms. Yan Dayong beside him also escorted five Baoyi Aha. The Han military flags were regarded as thunder detectors and placed in front of them to explore the way. Once there was an ambush in the city, Baoyi Aha would be the first to die, and the Han military flag could not escape.
The gate of Julu City was opened and the suspension bridge was also put down. Looking at the open city gate, the city was terrible quiet, Zhang Qinglin was so nervous that he felt that his heart was about to jump out. He was really worried that after he entered the city, thousands of elite ambushes suddenly came out with a cannon. Zhang Qinglin didn't want to die. He already had a wife and a child, and he also picked one of the Han women who had plundered outside the pass as a concubine. Now he has a wife and a concubine, and the concubine is already pregnant. Although his wife was pregnant when she came to Liaodong and the first child was not his own, he was very kind to his wife and regarded that son as his own son.
My son is also sensible. He is only ten years old and knows how to ride a horse and shoot arrows. He can also go up the mountain to hunt. He has a good gun technique and uses a bird gun to hit a running hare within seventy steps.
"Amitabha, Bodhisattva bless you, don't be ambushed." Zhang Qinglin recited silently.
Yan Dayong beside him sneered: "Zhang Qinglin, you are a dog who is afraid of death! Even if there are Mingdog ambushing, why should we be afraid of the Eight Banners warriors? With Mingdog, we will just kill them! Our first batch of people entering the city is the first merit given to us by the Manchu master!"
"Dayong, you don't know, I have many children in my family. What if I have a few things, what if I have a few things, my wife and children?"
Yan Dayong sneered: "If something happens to you, I will take care of your wife and children!"
Zhang Qinglin broke out in cold sweat. This was not what Cao Mengde said: I will support you, your wife? Then Yan Dayong didn't know why he didn't choose a wife from the Han women, but he chose a wife from the robbed Goryeo women. His wife is a typical Goryeo face, with a big pie face, small eyes, and a round nose, which is not good-looking at all. And his wife is a beauty. Zhang Qinglin had a bit of a kid in his heart: Could this kid want to hit my wife, right? No, I can't die, and if I die, I should let him die first.
Walking into the open city gate, Baoyi Aha in front of him was so scared that his legs became weak and his body was sweating all over.
At this time, Zhang Qinglin realized why Sima Yi was scared away by the empty city scheme? It turned out that he rushed in without knowing whether there was an ambush inside. What a terrible thing!
The Han army flag carried Baoyi Aha into the city and walked on the empty street. Zhang Qinglin was afraid that there would be a sudden ambush that broke out all the time.
"Go, search by house!" Yan Dayong, the more brave, ordered the Baoyi Aha to search.
Seeing Yan Dayong's men enter a room, they came out safely and safely, Zhang Qinglin also plucked up his courage and escorted Aha into an open courtyard gate.
Walking into the yard, Zhang Qinglin and Aha and others searched every room, but they didn't see a figure. What's even more annoying is that all the valuable things in the room were gone!
Yan Dayong rushed into a shop with Aha, but found that it was empty and nothing. From the sign outside, it could be seen that it was a store selling grain, but now it was not enough to mention silver. There was no one grain of rice. There was only the rats crawling over the ground. One of the rats was brave and stopped to look at Yan Dayong and Baoyi Aha, as if laughing at them: There was nothing left, and you can't find it even if you come and look for it.
The Qing army searched many stores in a row, and the situation inside was the same. There was not even a single figure of people and could not even find a grain of food.
Zhang Qinglin entered another yard. The yard seemed to be the yard of a wealthy family, a large yard with three entrances, but now it is empty and has nothing.
"Everyone has run away, where is the ambush?" Zhang Qinglin left the yard and shook his head.
It seems that there is nothing in Julu City, no money or food, and even the Han Nikan can't catch any of them.
"Master, there is no ambush in the city, it's just an empty city!" Someone went out of the city to report to Dorgon.
Dorgon brought the Qing army into the city. The Qing army found that the city was empty and nothing, and everything was emptied, and not even a grain of food was left for the Qing army. But one thing was fine, there was no ambush in the city, and there was no fire-induced object, so it was safe for the Qing army to enter the city.
"It's strange, where did the Minggou Nikan go here?" Duoduo looked at the empty city and felt very surprised.
Dorgon snorted: "It must have been all gone! I guess they won't run far, so let's go to the nearby village to look for it!"
The Qing army sent scouts and mailers everywhere and found that there were only one empty room left in the surrounding villages. The Qing army spent two days struggling, but not only did not catch a Han man, but not even a grain of food was found.
"Look, there is a big village in front!" Suddenly, a Qing army scout cavalry discovered a huge village near the Haoshui Bridge in front, and smoke was still emitting from the village.
"With smoke, there must be Han Nikan in it!" The Qing soldiers who had not gained anything for two days were overjoyed.
The Qing army scout cavalry took out the map provided by Fan Yongdou, gestured a few times on it, and found that this was Jiazhuang. But they didn't know at all that Jiazhuang had been modified by Li Guodong and was no longer the original Jiazhuang.
This village is very large and is simply a small town. It is just not protected by the city walls. On the endless North China Plain, there is a village standing alone. There are continuous flat-topped houses in the village. This kind of house looks very strange. The Qing soldiers didn't know what materials were built with this kind of house.
