At night, the pitter-patter of spring rain fell.
Spring during the Little Ice Age was still very cold.
When the rain fell on their faces, it was a bone-piercing feeling that made them shiver unconsciously.
A brazier was lit in Dorgon's tent, and the burning charcoal dispelled the cold air.
In history, Dorgon was able to lead 120,000 troops into the pass and eventually conquer the world. If you said he was an idiot, then it was definitely a little too much.
After a day of attacking the city, Dorgon had discovered the problem.
More than 30,000 soldiers had died in battle, but they had not even harmed a single hair on the enemy's body, let alone see any hope of breaking through the city.
Under such circumstances, he knew that with his current military strength, he would not be able to take down Beijing.
However, they had only attacked for a day, and he had already retreated dejectedly.
He couldn't do it, not to mention Liu Yu had angered him half to death these past two days.
If they continued to attack the city, there would be no point other than losing soldiers and generals.
After a while, Dorgon sighed and made his decision.
If the attack on Beijing City didn't work in three days, he would turn around and lead the army to attack Tianjinwei and other cities.
Then, he would recruit soldiers from other cities and bring a million soldiers to attack Beijing. He did not believe that Beijing would be able to hold on.
Boom!
Spring thunder!
Dorgon walked out of the tent and looked at the lightning flashing in the sky. He felt depressed.
The night was silent.
The next morning, after Liu Yu woke up, he gave Chen Cheng an order for them to set off.
After breakfast, Liu Yu came to the corner tower of the city wall and looked at the Manchu army that was cooking in the distance.
"I didn't rush to attack the city today.
Since that's the case, then I'll let you all be full ghosts.”
Liu Yu said as he looked at the Manchu camp in the distance.
Two hours later, the Manchu army began to gather and get into formation, preparing to attack the city.
At this moment, Liu Yu directly asked Chen Jian to open a city gate.
"Let's see if you dare to come."
Next, as long as the Qing army dared to gather their main forces to attack the city from this gate, they would not be able to escape.
Otherwise, with Liu Yu's current strength, he would not be able to wipe out the 200,000 strong army.
"Wangye, a city gate has been opened in Beijing.”
The messenger reported the situation to Dorgon.
"A city gate opened?"
Dorgon was a little confused. He didn't know if this was a conspiracy or if someone had surrendered.
"Send someone to investigate." Dorgon ordered.
Soon, a group of cavalrymen charged into the city gate.
In order to let Dorgon concentrate his main force, Liu Yu did not even send people to guard the city walls. He only had the royal guards guard the surrounding streets.
After a while, the scouting cavalrymen returned.
"Your Highness, there really isn't anyone around the city gate. We've already taken control of the city gate.”
"Pass down the order, attack." Dorgon immediately ordered.
It didn't matter if the enemy was plotting something. Now that they had control of the city gate, with this gap, everything would be fine.
Following Dorgon's order, the main force of the Qing army and their elite forces began to pour into the capital through the city gate.
" Enemies discovered! Kill them with me!"
The leading Qing cavalrymen noticed the Royal Guards at the end of the street and immediately sped up.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
In the end, the street in front of them suddenly collapsed, and an entire team of cavalrymen fell into the pit.
There were still sharp blades at the bottom of the pit. Those who fell down would be half-crippled even if they did not die.
Such a situation did not only occur in one place. It was the same situation at the end of every street.
Liu Yu stood on the corner tower and looked at the situation below. Everything had been planned.
As long as the Manchu Cavalry did not charge forward, the Royal Guards would only need 10,000 soldiers to stop the 200,000-strong Manchu army.
In order to prevent the Manchu army from escaping, Liu Yu did not arrange archers on the rooftops on either side of the street.
Furthermore, the Royal Guards had to retreat as they killed the Manchu army.
This gave the Qing army hope and allowed them to continue investing in their forces.
The army in the city began to engage in close combat.
Screams and screams rang out continuously.
Yes, they were all shouted by the Manchu soldiers. First, they shouted to kill, and then they screamed and were stabbed to death.
No matter how many men the Qing army had, the human wall formed by the Royal Guards was like a dam, not moving at all.
Only when the corpses of the Manchu soldiers piled up would they slowly retreat a distance and continue to harvest the leeks crazily.
Soon, Dorgon, who was outside the city, learned of the situation inside.
After he inquired about the situation in the city in detail, he decisively gave the order to attack with all his might.
In Dorgon's eyes, the enemy wanted to lure him into a trap and use his elites to destroy his army.
However, Dorgon didn't care about the deaths of his soldiers. He wanted to use the advantage of having more than 200,000 soldiers to seize this opportunity and take down Beijing.
As the Manchu army continued to gather, the other three armies also gathered here.
In the blink of an eye, an hour had passed.
In this one hour, the Royal Guards had retreated more than 800 meters.
However, the 800-meter-long street was filled with the corpses of the Manchu soldiers. The lowest part of the street was 30 centimeters tall.
If the Manchu soldiers wanted to attack, they had to step on the corpses of their comrades.
At this moment, Liu Yu received a notification that Chen Cheng had already arrived outside the city. He was still one kilometer away from the Manqing camp.
After receiving this news, Liu Yu did not say anything else and immediately ordered a counterattack.
"Chen Jian, lead the Royal Guards and annihilate the Manchu army. Other than Dorgon and Wu Sangui, do not take any prisoners.”Liu Yu ordered coldly.
"Yes, my lord."
Chen Jian bowed and turned to leave.
He led the 40,000 Royal Guards that were already prepared and began to attack the Qing army from the city walls and the moat.
Together with Chen Cheng's army that was about to arrive, they formed a pocket formation and surrounded the Qing army.
