At the Jin army camp on the top of the mountain, Jiang Xiang and the generals of the Jin army gathered together, and everyone surrounded a large stone, and the atmosphere was solemn.

At this time, Jiang Xiang looked at the map spread on the stone and said in a deep voice: "Zhao Zamao sticks to the camp and cannot come out, obviously waiting for other breakthroughs. If Zhao Zamao continues to stick to it, then we can only take the initiative to attack and fight with him."

Jiang Rang frowned and said, "Ming's arms are sharp, and they have been built fortifications outside the camp. We have no advantage in military strength, so it is unlikely to win the initiative to attack."

Jiang Xiang swelled his cheeks and gritted his teeth, "This is nothing to do. If you can't wait like this, you must fight with Zhao Zamao."

As he said that, he looked at his subordinates and ordered: "Tonight, I will send someone to contact Wu Sangui and Mandahai. In just a few days, I will be a ferocious person with Zhao Zamao."

Everyone had no choice but to nod their heads silently.

At this time, Jiang Youguang hurriedly climbed up the hillside, came to Jiang Xiang, and said with a calm face: "Prince, look at this!"

Jiang Xiang took a piece of brocade in confusion and opened it, and there were some words on it.

Jiang Xiang just glanced at him and then kneaded the brocade into a ball like a snake bitten, and asked, "Where did it come from?"

"The Ming army shot from the foot of the mountain!" Jiang Youguang said in a deep voice.

Jiang Xiang narrowed his eyes, "This must be Zhao Zamao's move to disrupt our military morale!"

Jiang Youguang said with great concern: "Prince, it's better to confirm this matter."

Jiang Xiang pondered for a moment, and the brocade said on the brocade that Wu Sangui transferred the elite troops away and wanted to escape west, which made Jiang Xiang really unable to feel at ease. So he said in a deep voice: "I will go there tonight to see what happened."

On the other side, Mandahai led a team of soldiers to patrol the camp.

Ten thousand Manchu soldiers followed the mountains, dug trenches, built wooden walls, and prepared for defense.

Wu Sangui's mission to Mandahai was to guard the Zhou army's artillery formation outside Tongguan, near the hillside in front of the pass.

This position is extremely important, because if the Ming army attacks Tongguan, the artillery array on the hillside can attack the Ming army from the flanks, and the full force on the hillside can also threaten the Ming army from the side, making it impossible for the Ming army to attack with all its strength.

"Master, do you want to go to the artillery formation to see?" a general asked in a low voice.

Mandahai shook his head, "Forget it. Zhao Zamao is obviously waiting for us to take the initiative to attack. Wouldn't the artillery array have a great effect?"

At this time, Mandahai and Luke Dehun stood on the hill, staring at the Ming army camp in the distance, and said with hatred: "I don't want Zhao Zamao to have the momentum today!"

Lukedehn said in a deep voice: "Zhao Zamao is at the foot of the mountain. If we can defeat him, we may have a chance to restore Liao territory and revive our ancestors' foundation."

Mandahai showed a hatred look, "This time it may be our Manchu to pay back his blood debt. The last chance we must fight hard."

Many remnants of the Qing Dynasty nodded one after another, and at this moment, a general hurriedly came up and presented a piece of brocade, "Master, the letter shot by the Ming army."

When Mandahai heard the words, he took the brocade and opened it to see it, his expression changed.

As night fell, the Zhou army positions on Mount Wushan were brightly lit, and the Ming army camp built by the river was also twinkling torches, like a brilliant sea of ​​stars.

At this time, in front of Tongguan, in the Zhou army camp.

Wu Sangui roared in a low voice: "How could this happen? Who leaked the news?"

Hong Chengchou shook his head, "We have done a lot of secrets, but the Ming Dynasty's detailed works are omnipresent, and it is not possible to know who leaked the news for the time being."

After learning that Wu Sangui had secretly withdrawn the elite Zhou army, Zhao Ming decided to change his strategy and launch a general attack on the Zhou army. Before that, the Ming army naturally had to send scouts to shoot letters at various departments of the Zhou army to inform Wu Sangui of his true intentions, so as to shake the determination of various departments of the Zhou army and offset the advantage of the Zhou army's advantage of geographical advantage.

Wu Sangui said anxiously: "What should I do now?"

Hong Chengchou was also a little anxious. He tried hard to calm down and pondered: "Your Majesty, Zhao Zamao will definitely launch an attack when he heard this news. He spread the news with the purpose of shaking the morale of the army before the attack."

At this time, the curtain was suddenly lifted up, and Wu Sangui and Hong Chengchou hurriedly stopped the sound. Wu Sangui said angrily: "Why don't you report?"

"Your Majesty Atonement!" Hu Guozhu hurriedly walked, and then explained: "Your Majesty, Jiang Xiang and Mandahai are here!"

Wu Sangui was shocked when he heard the words. Hong Chengchou hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the most important thing at the moment is to stabilize the morale of the army. It is better to use the plan. Jiang Xiang and Mandahai must not know that the Youth has evacuated the elite troops."

Wu Sangui hurriedly asked, "How to use the trick?"

Hong Chengchou immediately whispered. After hearing this, Wu Sangui frowned and said, "Can you do it?"

"It can only be done!" Hong Chengchou said in a deep voice: "Jiang Xiang, Mandahai doesn't believe in the Lord, can he believe in Zhao Zamao?"

Wu Sangui nodded nervously, then sat back to the commander's position and asked Hu Guozhu to bring the two in. At the same time, he sent people to the camp behind Guancheng as Hong Chengchou's instructions.

Soon, Jiang Xiang and Mandahai entered the tent with a calm face. Wu Sangui stood up and laughed: "Haha, I am about to order someone to summon two beloved ministers, but I don't want them to come by themselves. We monarch and ministers are really in harmony!"

Jiang Xiang had a gloomy face and took out the brocade directly and asked, "Your Majesty, what's going on?" Zhao Zamao said that you have transferred your elite troops and are ready to give up Guanzhong. Is that true?"

Wu Sangui greeted Zhao Zamao in his heart, but he looked stern and said unhappily: "I am so disappointed. You are here to ask me for this?"

Wu Sangui's face seemed to have a layer of frost. When Jiang Xiang and Mandahai saw this, they hesitated. Because of the enemy's letters, they suspected that their monarch did not seem like that, as if the trust between the monarch and the ministers was not as good as that of Zhao Zamao.

However, this is related to everyone's life and death, and there is still a future. Jiang Xiang could only bite the bullet and said, "I would like to ask you to explain to me."

Wu Sangui's face was gloomy and silent. After a while, he stood up and said coldly: "Come with me!"

After saying that, Wu Sangui came out of the tent, and several people hurriedly followed and climbed the city wall of Tongguan. They saw that the Zhou army camp in the pass was brightly lit, and there was an army, who was coming from the west with torches, and entering the camp.

"This~" Jiang Xiang and Mandahai were puzzled.

At this time, Hong Chengchou sighed and said, "Zhao Zamao's troops were not invaded. The Lord saw it and was anxious. In order to let Zhao Zamao take the initiative to attack and enter the preset battlefield, the Lord could only make this worst move and pretend to mobilize troops westward, making Zhao Zamao mistakenly think that the Lord was going to give up Tongguan and Guanzhong, which led Zhao Zamao to attack. Unexpectedly, Zhao Zamao was deceived, but you doubted the Lord, which was really heartbreaking!"

Wu Sangui stood with his hands behind his back, his clothes and hair fluttered by the night wind, and his back stood silently at the top of the city.

Jiang Xiang and Mandahai looked at each other, and quickly knelt down on one knee, with his head down ashamed, "Your Majesty, Zhao Zamao is treacherous, and I almost fell into the trap. Please punish me."

Wu Sangui turned around and helped the two of them up, "This is also a big deal. I didn't discuss it with you in advance. But now, Zhao Zamao's use of this to disrupt our morale will mean that he has fallen into the trap."

At this moment, a few screams came from the direction of Wushan Mountain, and several flashes rose from the sky. More than ten rockets dragged their tails and landed on the mountain where the Zhou army was stationed.

When Wu Sangui and others heard the movement, they turned around and looked outside the pass and saw white lights storming everywhere, and explosions came from time to time.

Jiang Xiang was overjoyed when he saw this, "Your Majesty is wise! The Ming army went out to attack, and I'm afraid it's really going to attack."

Wu Sangui's heart was trembling, his mouth twitched, and he complained, but he still said happily: "This is really great. Zhao Zamao finally fell into the trap!"
