The winter nights in Liaodong are very cold, not to mention that it actually snowed heavily this night, which caused the weather temperature to drop sharply to an even lower temperature, and even the visibility was reduced a lot.
However, this kind of weather is very wonderful for Wu Sangui.
Because if it takes a while, he will lead 5,000 troops to break out of Guaizi City. And under the cover of night with low visibility, the success rate of this plan has been greatly increased.
Five thousand soldiers and horses gathered outside the west city gate at this time, and Wu Sangui announced that he was here to provide reinforcements to the west city defenders.
Therefore, the mobilization of such a large number of people did not attract much attention at the time.
After all, it is indeed the Jurchens on the Ximen side who are most aggressive during the day.
At the same time, due to weather conditions, the Jurchen surrendered army temporarily stopped attacking, leaving Wu Sangui with a valuable opportunity to rest and recuperate.
Everything is slowly developing in a good direction.
If everything goes very smoothly, then the breakout will be successful.
It¡¯s just a pity that Governor Yang Fengyi is unwilling to give up his colleagues and break out with them.
Wu Sangui couldn't help but feel a little disappointed about this.
However, Wu Sangui's mood became better the next moment.
Because he has now become a general leading five thousand soldiers and horses, in order to allow him to better command these soldiers and horses, Yang Fengyi upgraded his official rank.
In other words, as long as he can successfully reach Datong, Wu Sangui will officially become a high-level military commander.
This matter is of course a good thing for him.
As the saying goes, how bold a person is, how productive the land is.
The reason why Wu Sangui was able to propose this plan in the first place was probably because of his careful thinking in this regard.
Now, he finally got his wish.
Thinking about Wu Sangui joining the army, he was just a small general in the past. How could he be willing to do so?
A soldier who doesn¡¯t want to be a general is definitely not a good soldier.
Wu Sangui also has his ambitions.
Of course, this ambition is different from those who betrayed their comrades in Yehuling. Wu Sangui would not do such a thing, but a small trick is harmless.
¡°At least, he will not betray his own people or his country.
Um!
¡°I don¡¯t know if Wu Sangui, who is empty, will do something like that at some point in the future?
Thinking about it, because of Zhao Hongyu¡¯s appearance, such a thing might not happen.
After all, history has gone so far that Wu Sangui¡¯s life and destiny will definitely change a lot.
Who can say clearly about such a thing?
Wu Sangui raised his hand and touched the fish scale armor on his chest. On his chest, there was the official seal of his promotion to the commander-in-chief of the army.
As long as he arrives in Datong, his life trajectory will never be the same again.
A general who commands five thousand men.
In this area of ????Liaodong, he can be regarded as the number one figure.
Of course, for all of this to be truly realized, we have to lead the army to Datong alive and avoid the Jurchens on the way.
Otherwise, all this would still be just a fantasy.
The title of prince will be granted immediately!
Wu Sangui feels that this time is definitely worth fighting for.
The snowflakes falling from the sky are getting bigger and bigger, but the fire in Wu Sangui's heart is getting stronger and stronger. This is the fire of his desire, his desire for power.
It¡¯s just that at this time, Wu Sangui is not the hero from another time and space. Although he is a little ambitious now, his loyalty to the Ming Dynasty is still unquestionable.
In Wu Sangui¡¯s heart now, in addition to the desire and impulse for power, there is also sentimentality and sigh for Yang Fengyi, as well as the belief in revenge for his comrades in the future.
Yes, after he breaks out this time, the defenders in Guaizi City will definitely be greatly affected.
Thinking about it, it won¡¯t be long before Guaizi City will be breached.
By then, given the cruel nature of the Jurchens, how many people in the army will be able to survive?
¡°Then the soldiers and horses he leads will be the capital for future revenge.
"Furthermore, five thousand soldiers and horses broke out under his leadership. It would be better if there were only one thousand soldiers left. As long as they reached Datong, they would be dead-set on him, and their experiences along the way could turn them all into elite soldiers."As long as the army is recruited and expanded again, and these veterans take the lead, Wu Sangui will have an elite team of soldiers under his command.
As the saying goes, times make heroes, I, Wu Sangui, must seize this opportunity. A real man must live a more vigorous life in this world, so as not to sacrifice himself in this world.
Wu Sangui looked up at the snowy night sky, thinking secretly in his heart.
The time to break out was getting closer and closer, Wu Sangui slowly calmed down his mind, and his expression became grim.
"Light the fire!"
With Wu Sangui¡¯s order, the soldiers lit the torches they had prepared.
These soldiers didn¡¯t know what they were going to do at night, but they obeyed the order anyway.
"Open the city gate!"
The confidants who had been ordered by Yang Fengyi had been stationed at the gate of Xicheng, replacing the original defenders.
Therefore, the city gate on the west side of the city was easily opened.
Well!
Why did you open the city gate? What is it doing?
When the soldiers saw the city gate open, they were puzzled.
"Brothers, I won't hide anything from you now. I, Wu Sangui, will tell you the truth now. We, the people, are just trying to break out and find a way to survive."
Wu Sangui shouted loudly while sitting on his horse.
His words made the soldiers scream in shock.
"I think everyone knows that the Jurchens outside the city besieged the city, and the surrendered army also joined the attack. Although we have 30,000 defenders in the city, in fact, everyone Huo'er should also know what is going on. ."
There is no need for Wu Sangui to tell this matter, of course the soldiers all know it.
It is said that there are 30,000 troops, but in fact, there are only more than 10,000 soldiers.
And after two days of fierce defensive battles, this number will be reduced a lot.
And now, the five thousand people gathered at the gate of Xicheng are already the last soldiers capable of fighting in Guaizi City.
As long as they leave Guaizi City, the remaining soldiers in the city will really be remnants.
"Since everyone knows it, I won't say much more. Fight out and let's live together! If you stay, you will be dead. It's up to you to choose. If you are willing to fight out with me, please fight. ah!"
After shouting, Wu Sangui took the lead and rushed to the city gate.
"Fight out! We want to live!"
The will to survive of the five thousand troops was completely ignited by Wu Sangui.
No one wants to die, it¡¯s human nature.
Wu Sangui didn¡¯t say much, but he was on point.
If you stay, you will die, but if you break out, there is still a glimmer of hope.
¡°As long as they are not fools, of course the soldiers know what they should choose.
"If a person dies, a bird will look up to the sky, and he will not die for tens of millions of years!"
"Break through the Jurchens' camp, don't look back, follow the Daliang River Valley and rush all the way to Datong City!"
"Master Wu, Master Wu, wait a minute!"
Wu Sangui had already rushed to the city gate at this time and was about to rush out.
However, he was stopped by several soldiers stationed at the city gate.
Wu Sangui took a closer look and saw that it was the personal guard beside Yang Fengyi.
¡°If you have something to say, say it quickly, without delay.¡±
"Master Wu, please take my family out together. He cannot die here."
Yang Fengyi¡¯s personal guard did not hesitate and directly told Wu Sangui the purpose of stopping him.
Wu Sangui was helpless after hearing this.
I thought to myself: If I could, I would have taken him away with me, but Mr. Yang didn¡¯t agree.
As his bodyguard, don¡¯t you know?
Before Wu Sangui could speak, the guard waved his hand, and then several soldiers led a war horse. A tall warrior sat on the horse's back, and there was a sack in front of the warrior.
Wu Sangui looked over and could still see that the sack was squirming, and it was obvious that someone was struggling inside.
"This is my lord. He has been forcibly put in by us. I just ask you to protect my lord and break out. I can't thank you enough."
"I really can't believe that Yang Fengyi's bodyguard actually did such a thing.
However, Wu Sangui is understandable. After all, these personal guards are also trying to save the lives of his family members, and their starting point is also good.
"what about you!"
The guard smiled bitterly and said to Wu Sangui: "After doing such a thing, we have no face to follow you. So we decided to stay and kill a few more Jurchen dogs."
When the guard said this, the people inside the sack struggled even more fiercely.
However, Yang Fengyi, who was placed in a sack, seemed to have her mouth blocked and could not speak at all, so she could only make a sound of "Uh-huh".
"Time waits for no one, Master Wu, hurry up and take my master on the road. Remember not to let my master come out on the way, otherwise he will definitely come back with his temperament."
Facing the instructions of this personal guard, Wu Sangui nodded solemnly.
"Don't worry, I, Wu Sangui, will definitely protect the Governor."
While a few people were talking, the team had already rushed out of the city gate.
Wu Sangui didn¡¯t hesitate, and tilted his head directly towards the tall knight with the sack, and the knight followed him.
Five thousand soldiers and horses quickly rushed out of the city gate, braving the heavy wind and snow, and rushed straight to the Jurchen camp.
As Wu Sangui and the others rushed out of the city, the city gate slowly closed.
Looking at the retreating figures of the army, the bodyguard of Yang Fengyi prayed silently, hoping that his family would be safe and sound, so that he would be worthy of all he had done.
Of course he knows what his master is thinking and what his character is like.
But, as a personal guard, of course I have to give everyone consideration.
Rather than die worthlessly in Kidnapper City, it is better to stay useful and survive, and then make a comeback.
It is precisely for this reason that the guards took the initiative and made such a decision.
They tied up Yang Fengyi and gave it to Wu Sangui, asking him to protect Yang Fengyi when she broke out.
¡°Moreover, after the guards did this, they would not have the face to face Yang Fengyi in the future, so they were determined to die and prepared to stay here in Kidnapping City to fight with the Jurchens.
kill!
Rush to camp!
The Ming army attacked at night!
The moment the city gate slowly closed, in the darkness outside the city in the wind and snow, a thundering cry of death came from the direction of the Jurchen camp (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, novels are better Update faster!)
