Hong Chengchou made a layout: find a soldier who looks very similar to Xia Chengde, disguised himself as Xia Chengde, and stationed at the city heading towards Ivory Mountain. The Qing army would use cloud ladders to climb the city. Hong Chengchou ordered the elite troops in the city to ambush the city, and wait for the Qing army to climb into the city and then lead them to the city to annihilate them. Then he used the trick, opened the city gate, and let the Qing army come in. He asked someone to pile all the collected gunpowder and fire-induced objects in various parts of the city. After the Qing army came in, he immediately ignited the fire and burned the elite troops of the Qing army, and then Cao Bianjiao took advantage of the chaos to break out of the siege.

"Supervisor, if this plan is done, how many of us can go back alive?" asked Qiu Min, the governor of Liaodong.

"Originally, we are bound to die. If we don't implement this plan, our army will be wiped out! If we do this plan, our army can kill Jiannu as much as possible! Some brothers can survive!" Hong Chengchou said with a righteous spirit.

Xu Liang left the city and brought back a letter written by Hong Chengchou who was pretending to be Xia Chengde's handwriting. The letter said that he had agreed to act as an internal agent of the Qing army and acted on time in the early morning three days later. He came back to deliver the letter, and the rest stayed in the city and cooperated with Xia Chengde as an internal agent.

Because Xu Liang lurked too deeply, the Qing army believed in him and this letter. Huang Taiji had returned to Shengjing, and the commander of the Qing army who was commanding the battle was Dorgon.

Dorgon invaded the Ming Dynasty in the 11th year of Chongzhen last time, and suffered a great defeat in Julu. The two white flags and two blue flags suffered heavy losses, and they deprived Huang Taiji of the title of prince in anger. However, after these four years, Dorgon actively captured the birth Jurchens from the mountains and forests to fill the Manchu Eight Banners, and obtained a large number of Aha and Armored people from North Korea. In the past four years, the two white flags have expanded very quickly and have returned to the population of Chongzhen for ten years. Although their combat effectiveness is not as good as the originally annihilated Manchu Eight Banners, the level of population recovery satisfies Huang Taiji, so Huang Taiji restored the title of Prince Rui.

As long as Li Guodong is not opposite, Dorgon is not afraid of any opponent.

"General Xia, come and see if this is your brother's handwritten letter?" Dorgon called Xia Jinghai and asked him to identify the handwriting.

Xia Jinghai picked up the letter, looked carefully for a long time, knelt down and called out a thousand times, "Reply to the prince, this letter was indeed written by the elder brother."

"Okay! Then act according to the original plan! Yibatu (Xu Liang's pseudonym) did a beautiful job this time!" Dorgon said with a smile.

Dorgon believed Xu Liang very deeply, but only for the sake of caution that Xia Jinghai was allowed to identify his handwriting. Xu Liang's identity in the Qing army was neither the Han Dynasty nor the Mongolian Dynasty, but the real Manchu Eight Banners! After three years of training, he completely became a savage who was exactly the same as the Jurchens. He then mingled into the mountains and forests of Liaodong. He was regarded as the Jurchens and captured by the Qing army. He entered North Korea many times, making a lot of contributions to the Qing Dynasty, and was promoted from a man wearing armor to a white armored soldier.

Three days later, on February 28, the 15th year of Chongzhen, the time agreed upon by Xia Chengde and the Qing army came. The Qing army brave general Tugeer led a thousand elite heavy armored soldiers, carrying a simple cloud ladder, and quietly approached Songshan City in the night. Yuetuo's seventh brother Mandahai led two thousand elite heavy armored cavalry, lying outside the city gate to wait. He just waited for Tugeer to open the city gate and entered the city.

Tugel led a thousand Qing troops to the city. But he saw a red lantern as a secret code rising from the city.

"Sir, this is my brother's secret code." Xia Chengdedao.

"Sir, you can get on." Xu Liang replied.

The Qing army set up a ladder, and a thousand heavily armored soldiers climbed up to the top of the city. Sure enough, they did not encounter any resistance from the Ming army. After they got on the top of the city, they saw a supportive Ming army coming to lead the way for them.

Tugel followed behind and climbed up to the top of the city, but saw several officers under Xia Chengde coming up.

"Wait." Xia Jinghai told Tugel not to come forward for the time being. He walked forward by himself and asked the officers: "Why didn't my brother come to welcome the Qing army?"

One officer replied, "General, he is waiting inside, see where he is."

As the officer looked in the direction of his finger, he saw a Ming general running over from the city. The armor and figure were Xia Chengde.

"General Xia is too worried," Xu Liang walked up and said, "General Xia came too late to hold Minggou. General Xia told me about this."

The Qing army dispelled their doubts and walked boldly towards the city gate tower. After a while, all the Qing army walked down the steps from the city and entered the city.

"Kill!" Suddenly, shouts of killing sounded on the street. Groups of Ming army ambushed out of the roof and came down from a high point. Large stones were smashed down. Although the Qing soldiers were wearing thick armor, they could not resist the attack of the stones. The stones hit the heads of the Qing soldiers in front, and their iron helmets flattened, and they fell down screaming.

Countless Ming soldiers emerged from the alleys on both sides of the street, all holding blunt weapons, rushed up and got entangled with the Qing soldiers in front.

The blunt weapon was smashed down, and the Qing soldiers' armor was sunken, and they vomited blood. The Qing soldiers' tiger-toothed swords were cut by the knife, and many Ming soldiers were immediately chopped over in a pool of blood. At this moment, windows opened, and bird guns were extended from the window. With the sound of a roaring gun, a large area of ​​Qing soldiers in front fell down.

"I ambushed in the middle!" Tugel shouted, "How can I stop my Qing warriors! Men, kill me!"

Before he could finish his words, he felt a cold wind blowing behind his head. Before he could understand what was going on, he felt his neck cool down, and then he felt his body lighter and flew into the sky. He subconsciously looked down and saw that his headless body was still standing on the ground, and his head was flying into the sky.

Xu Liang just slashed Tugel with one knife, and then he slashed Xia Jinghai's head to the ground.

"Yibatu! You!" several Eight Banners soldiers screamed.

Before the Eight Banners soldiers could react, Xu Liang waved the tiger-toothed knife in his hand like a wheel, chopping melons and cutting vegetables and killing all the Qing soldiers around him.

"Tugel is dead! The head is here!" Xu Liang raised Tugel's rat-tail braid and held his head in his hand and shouted.

The Qing soldiers who were ambushed heard that the main general Tuger was killed, and most of them lost their fighting spirit. After all, most of them originally had Jurchens. It was the savages that Dorgon had captured from the mountains not long ago in order to make up for the losses of the two white flags. These people had good fighting ability in front of the battle, but after being ambushed, the main general was beheaded. They were in adversity and had no fighting spirit and kneeled down to surrender.

Although there were more than 100 old Eight Banners soldiers who would rather die than surrender and resisted tenaciously, they were outnumbered. The ambush of the Ming army were all composed of servants of the generals, and their combat power was not weak. In a blink of an eye, all more than 100 old Eight Banners soldiers were killed.

Hearing the shouts of killing in the city, Mandahai, who was ambushing outside the city, thought that the sneak attack from inside and outside had succeeded, and just waited for the city gate to open.

After a while, the city gate slowly opened.

"Kill!" Mandahai roared and rushed into the city with two thousand heavily armored cavalry.

Mandahai took the lead and rushed into the street. Suddenly his war horse rolled forward and lifted him off the horse's back. The heavy cavalry behind them also fell off the horse's back.

"The horse trap! Not good! There is an ambush! We have been trapped!" Mandahai rolled a few times, and found the horse trap on the ground, and shouted.

It was too late, and the thousand-jin gate on the city gate behind him suddenly fell, cutting off the Qing army's way out of the city.

Houses in the city suddenly caught fire, and deafening explosions sounded on the streets, and the gunpowder placed in the house exploded violently. The gunpowder was placed in the seals and buried underground in the house. The gunpowder exploded, and the house was blown away, and various gravel, bricks and wood flew towards the Qing soldiers. The turbulent oil tanks buried underground on the streets also burst out, and the entire street was burned into a sea of ​​fire. A large number of Qing soldiers were burned to cry and shouting at their parents and rolling all over the ground.
