Chapter 715 Raid the Fort

Forbidden City, in the imperial palace.

When Ajige saw the report from He Luohui, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, "Hmph, Zhao Zamao is quite tactful!"

Ajige closed the memorial and looked happy. Zhao Zamao retreated, which undoubtedly relieved his pressure and could focus on dealing with Fulin and accepting the north.

"Zhao Zamao has only 30,000 people in western Liaoning, and the weather is cold and the supply is not easy. It is also a wise move for him to retreat." Hedu smiled.

Ajige nodded slightly, then smiled and said, "Since Zhao Zamao has withdrawn his troops, I can prepare for the throne ceremony with peace of mind, and send troops to pursue Fulin at the same time."

After Fulin fled to Xuanfu, he did not stay for long. Under the escort of Mandahai, Luke Dehun and others, he went to Taiyuan.

On the way to Taiyuan, Chahar Mongolia first ransacked Xuanfu, and left without saying goodbye, and then retreated to Mongolia. Then, after the Korqin Mongolian cavalry arrived in Taiyuan, they turned around and returned to Eastern Mongolia.

When Fulin arrived in Taiyuan, there were only two red, two yellow, two blue and six flag soldiers around him. Two yellow and two blue flags were severely damaged in Gaizhou. The total number of six flags was only 23,000 people and more than 100,000 families.

This kind of tragic situation was something Fulin did not expect. He did not expect that after withdrawing from Beijing, nearly 100,000 Mongolians would abandon him.

Fulin escaped in a hurry and didn't take anything. Fortunately, Shanxi merchants were rich. The eight Jin merchants led by Fan Yongdou offered Fulin five million silver to provide Fulin with Fulin's expenses, which made Fulin gain a foothold in Taiyuan.

At the suggestion of Hong Chengchou, Feng Quan and others, Fulin quickly sent an order to all places, Shanxi, central and western Henan, Guanzhong and Hanzhong, and accepted his rule, while Huaibei, Shandong, Zhili, and eastern Henan obeyed Ajige's Chongwu court.

The originally unified Qing Dynasty was divided into two regimes, east and west, with Taihang Mountain, Hulao Pass and Song Mountain as the boundaries. Both sides regarded themselves as orthodox Qing Dynasty and were divided into east and west.

Fulin escaped from Beijing and wanted to restructure the central government, it would take some time to establish a connection with the local government.

Ajige won Beijing and was in full swing. On February 1, a grand ceremony of ascension was held in Beijing. Then he sent Prince Yu, Doni, to lead 30,000 elite troops to break through Juyong Pass, and to break into Xuanfu. He also sent Prince Hedu to lead 30,000 troops to collect Baoding, Zhending and Huaide’s three prefectures, and then to the west to capture Jingxing. The troops were divided into two groups and collected Shanxi.

The Eastern Qing army was in full spirit, sharp equipment, and attacked fiercely. In half a month, Duoni from the north, he collected the three guards of Xuanfu and attacked Datong, but was rejected by Jiang Xiang.

The southern route and the Du army marched towards Shanxi, and the prefectures and counties all the way to see the wind and descended, and the autumn wind swept away the fallen leaves.

The two armies were progressing smoothly, which made Ajige feel very happy. While sending secret envoys to meet Wu Sangui, Shang Kexi and Geng Zhongming were waiting for the news that Fulin was captured.

February 3rd, early morning.

On the Dagukou Fort, a few dim lanterns were shaking in the sea breeze.

On the beach east of the fort, waves hit the beach, making a rustling sound.

At this time, a fleet of shadows hiding in the darkness, slowly approaching the fort, while the defenders on the fort were huddled on it, dozing, and unaware.

Dagukou is the maritime gateway to Beijing, and its status is no less than Shanhaiguan.

At that time, Zhao Ming fought here and shocked the Qing Dynasty. After that, Hong Chengchou operated coastal defense and built a fort here.

However, since the fort was built, Zhao Ming's navy has never been to Dagukou. Now the Qing army is in turmoil, and after Ajige occupied Beijing, he has not noticed it.

At this time, the huge fleet put down several small boats, and Li Yuanyin and others took the small boat and rushed to the beach with the sea breeze.

After Zhao Ming retreated from Shanhaiguan, he did not retreat to Liaozhong. Instead, he was waiting for the weather to warm up in Ningyuan while inquiring about information inside the pass.

After learning that Ajige had two troops to capture Shanxi and chase Fulin, Zhao Ming thought that the time was ripe, so he took a boat and led an army of 20,000 to the outside of Dagukou.

In February, the weather became warmer, but it was still cold at night. Li Yuanyin and other soldiers of Jiangbei were wearing cotton armor inside, and covered with chain mail or iron armor. They held swords and crossbows in their hands, and were well-equipped.

At this time, Li Yuanyin led more than a hundred Jiangbei soldiers and took advantage of the night to touch the under the fort and quietly raised several long ladders.

The heads of these ladders were covered with cotton cloth, and they were close to the city wall, without any sound. The footsteps of Li Yuanyin and others were also covered by the sound of waves.

Li Yuanyin made a gesture, held the sword in his mouth, and climbed towards the wall with his hands and feet. The ladder was chirping, and the soldiers behind him quickly followed and quickly climbed up to the city wall.

At this time, Li Yuanyin showed his head from the battlements and observed left and right. There was a bonfire on the fortress, and several Qing soldiers were sleeping against the city wall with weapons in their arms.

Dagu Fort is in the shape of "未", like a small city, with barracks inside.

Li Yuanyin jumped onto the city wall gently, took the sword, and slowly touched a sleeping Qing army. The rest of Jiangbei troops jumped onto the city wall one after another, and also touched the remaining Qing army.

At this time, Li Yuanyin waved his hand violently and everyone started to take action together.

Li Yuanyin slapped the mouth of a Qing army leader. The Qing army woke up immediately, widened his eyes, and stared at the black shadow in front of him in horror.

Li Yuanyin covered the Qing army with his big hands and pressed the Qing army's struggling body with his legs. Regardless of his fear, he stabbed the sword directly, one, two, and three, and one ruthless. Each slash brought a ball of blood mist until the Qing army under him had no reaction.

In a moment, more than a dozen Qing soldiers on the fort were killed, and their eyes were wide open and their faces were full of horror.

At this time, Li Yuanyin wiped the Qing soldiers' bodies, then walked to the inside of the city wall with his hands and feet. He observed the barracks below and found that it was pitch black and there was no response. The Qing army obviously had not realized the danger and was still asleep.

Li Yuanyin waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him quietly went down the steps, one of them opened the door, and the other one touched outside the barracks.

The soldiers of the Jiangbei Army stood cautiously on both sides of the barracks doors, one with a knife on his back, and the other took out a grenade and lit the lead with a fire slit.

Almost at the same time, the soldier with a knife kicked open the door, and the other soldier threw the lit grenade into the barracks. The two of them were on one side of their bodies and leaning against the wall to avoid it.

"Boom boom boom" In each barracks, white light suddenly burst out, air waves and flames spewed out from the doors and windows, and screams suddenly appeared in the barracks.

"Kill!" Li Yuanyin roared loudly. After the explosion, the soldiers of Jiangbei soldiers immediately rushed in, killing the Qing army who were killed and injured by the bomb.

On the sea far away, Zhao Ming stood at the bow of the ship and saw from the thousand-mile mirror that the fire of the fort was everywhere, and the sound of killing sounds were heard. He smiled on his face and said, "Li Yuanyin succeeded! He ordered the army to land and seize the fort!"
