"It's late at night, let's go back and rest."

At the head of Yangzhou, the guards of the Governor of the Cao Transport persuaded. Their immediate superiors were standing on the north city tower, looking towards Gaoyou Lake, letting the cold wind whistle and their bodies remained standing. Unfortunately, this scene was not seen by those loyal and patriotic, otherwise they would have been moved to tears by the Governor of the Cao Transport, who was so concerned about the Holy Lord.

"I know." Lin Qilong replied softly. This year's canal transportation has been successfully transported to the capital. He himself did not follow the canal ship north because of the matter of receiving the carriage. The court saw that Lin Qilong still urged the canal transportation to be successfully completed in such a crisis situation. The remaining Lord Oboi also wrote to praise him, saying that if there were no major problems with the carriage, it would be a foregone conclusion that he would remain in office.

Before the Imperial Camp entered Jiangnan, Lin Qilong asked the troops in front of the Imperial Camp clearly. After repeated discussions with Deng Ming, Lin Qilong built a camp for the Imperial Camp in a straightforward manner according to the deployment map given by Deng Ming. Deng Ming gave him the last picture the day before yesterday... After many on-site practices, the camp built yesterday was absolutely perfect, with trenches and walls, and there were all kinds of protection gates, watchtowers and towers, and the Eight Banners would never make them feel that there were any shortcomings, which would lead to them building additional fortifications on their own.

Although he had tried his best to do everything he could, Lin Qilong was still very worried. Although Deng Ming's army was elite, the other side was a famous Eight Banners brigade that was famous all over the world. And it was not the Eight Banners stationed, not the Eight Banners of the Capital, nor even the ordinary Eight Banners of the Three Banners personally led by the Emperor of the Three Banners, but the Emperor's Guards of the Imperial Camp.

When Lin Qilong thought of the great martial arts of the Eight Banners over the past thirty years, he felt even more worried about the prospect. If it weren't for the fact that there was no way out, Lin Qilong would definitely not be willing to put his treasure on the side where Deng Ming could defeat the Eight Banners of the Imperial Camp.

Although he looked up, Lin Qilong actually understood that he probably could not see the war on Gaoyou Lake. The reason why he refused to return to the yamen was because he was so nervous that he could not fall asleep. He could only stand on the top of the city and look north, so that his sorrows would be relaxed a little. Now there was a dagger in Lin Qilong's boots. If a team of imperial camp troops suddenly arrived and shouted Lin Qilong to receive the order under the city, Lin Qilong would pull out the dagger and stab it into his chest while jumping out of the city - he would never suffer the pain of being cut into pieces.

"Sir, I'm staying too late." After a while, the guard urged again.

"Yeah." Although it was night, there were still soldiers patrolling the night on the top of the city. If Lin Qilong stayed there, the soldiers might feel very strange. When the news came, they would think of Lin Qilong's strange behavior that they saw tonight, and they would vaguely have some associations.

Lin Qilong walked down the city and returned to his yamen. He dropped the door latch and carefully checked it, then carefully pulled the dagger out of his boots and hid it under the pillow. After lying on the bed, Lin Qilong touched the dagger with his hand, believing that if someone wanted to break in, he could definitely complete the severance before the person rushed in.

...

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" A shrill alarm sounded over the camp. This was a camp of the Eight Banners, located in the northwest of the Emperor's Camp. Someone just heard screams from the south first, and then a louder noise sounded. In the dark night, the sentries on the camp wall didn't know what was going on at first, but soon they noticed that a large group of people approached their camp with the cover of night. The people who went to ask only received sharp arrows answers.

Many of the officers guarding the camp have combat experience. According to common sense, if the enemy comes from the south, they should not approach the camp in the northwest corner soon. But the speed of the enemy's movement is beyond their imagination. When the general heard the noise and rushed up the camp wall to ask, the enemy had approached the camp wall. Seeing the fire and shaking figures everywhere around the camp, the general said that he did not believe that the enemy came from the south. Because the general knew very well that he was here

In the dark night, the enemies who came to the camp would definitely have different levels of chaos. It would take a long time to understand the deployment of the Qing army camp. Only the most reckless enemy would rush forward without knowing the distribution of the defenders. Now the chaos has just sounded, and the enemy has killed under the camp wall. It is obviously impossible to come from the south. Under normal circumstances, the enemy soldiers coming from the dark should be testing the strength and strength of the southernmost camp.

"Go forward at full speed!" Jiang Nan urged his subordinates loudly. The Ming army had been divided into several routes. The route he was subordinate to was the Mongolian Eight Banners in the northwest corner. All the Ming army officers were very clear about the number and position of the enemy troops they were responsible for. The Ming army had conducted repeated training this month. Although they marched at night, they could approach their own targets as quickly as possible. Moreover, the marches of each route did not conflict or interfere with each other. The archers rushed to the front, and the armored soldiers followed closely behind were in groups, carrying a ladder that was just enough to climb through the camp wall.

"Prepare to fight!" The Qing general shouted. He had no idea who the enemy was on the other side, nor how many of the opponents were, and he could not understand why the opponent could organize a threatening multi-way attack against his camp so quickly in the dark. He had no time to observe and distinguish the opponent's main attack and feint attack.

There was chaos in the camp now, and the soldiers were not ready for battle at all, but the Qing generals were calm in the face of danger. He knew that he had to fight for every minute and every second, and to fight for his subordinates to join the war. A large number of torches were thrown out of the camp wall, illuminating the front of the trench clearly.

General Qing clearly saw a group of enemy crossbowmen rushing to the trench. At this distance, they had already posed a major threat to the guards on the watchtower. However, the experienced guards were not worried at all, and had no intention of evading, because he knew that the enemy was in the light and he was in the dark, and the enemy crossbowmen who were surrounded by fire could not see the position of the sentry tower in the dark.

"Arrowman!" General Qing shouted calmly. The soldiers around him set off their bows and arrows, ready to attack the enemy. In addition to these enemy crossbowmen who were close at hand, General Qing was also looking for those enemy soldiers who wanted to use soil bags to fill the trench or carry ladders. The latter two were as dangerous targets as crossbowmen.

At this moment, the Qing general saw the enemy soldiers in front of the trench lifting crossbows and bows and arrows, aiming in his own direction.

"They..." The Qing general was shocked. How could the enemy soldiers in front of the torch stop and see the location and height of the tower?

The dense locusts shot, and the other party was obviously carrying out a cover shooting. Most of them did not hit the Qing soldiers, but passed through the tower or between people. But because of the numerous arrows, General Qing was hit by six arrows in an instant and fell down with several other soldiers on the building. Before falling to the ground, General Qing still couldn't figure out how the other party carried out such an accurate cover shooting.

...

After using the firelight to confirm that he had reached the position he should reach every time during the exercise, Zheng Yaojun and his companions fired a volley at the approximate location of the tower in the dark. The continuous screams from the opposite side made him know that he had hit the opponent's night sentry.

Not only Zheng Yaojun, but also heard the sound of sharp arrows breaking through the air and the howling of the enemy.

A group of earth bags were pushed into the trench, and a large number of Ming soldiers rushed through the trench, put the ladder onto the camp wall, and tightly held the lower end of the ladder.

Zheng Yaojun flew up. The first batch of soldiers who climbed the wall were from Sichuan's regular army. Although Zheng Yaojun was still nervous when he climbed the wall, he was not afraid of the unknown at all. During the exercise, he repeated such movements again and again, and the movement just now showed that the archers on both sides had successfully completed the task. When several mail towers were suppressed, this section of the wall would not be threatened by the defenders at all.

After climbing up the wall of the camp, Zheng Yaojun quickly found a position and bent down to prepare for shooting. The Ming army, who followed him, threw torches into the camp, illuminating the vision in front of the archers.

Zheng Yaojun did not look around and looked for other targets, but aimed motionlessly ahead. He knew that the task of his team was very clear, that is, to guard the passage under the wall in front of him - on the left is the stable of the Mongolian Eight Banners Military Camp. If the enemy wants to go to the stable from their camp site, the open space in front of him is the enemy's must-pass path.

On the other side of the camp, Wu Baoping also led his subordinates to the camp wall. He lifted the threat of the sentry tower on the area he was responsible for and sent his own people up. A large number of Ming soldiers quickly broke into the camp under the cover of their comrades. Their mission was to attack the other party's forage house as soon as possible and ignite it to form a fire that could spread into the camp. This was not the first time Wu Baoping came to this camp. When Lin Qilong built it, Wu Baoping was one of the leading officers who came to supervise it.

boom!

On Wu Baoping's flank, a loud bang came, and another group of Ming troops attacked and successfully detonated their gunpowder depot before the enemy in the camp made effective resistance.

Compared with the defenders, the offensive side should be more familiar with and understand the camp. When the defense was still in chaos, scattered throughout the camp and waiting for the attack passively, the offensive had agilely controlled several of the most critical locations. Deng Ming handed over the last deployment map to Lin Qilong a few days ago, and the Qing army's Imperial Camp moved in this evening, while the Ming army lived in the camp with the same arrangement for dozens of days and had engaged in hundreds of offensive and defensive drills of all sizes.

In just half an hour, the sound of fighting spread throughout the entire imperial camp camp area, and fires shot up into the sky and continued to extend towards the core direction of the camp.

"What the hell is it? Who are the thieves? How many thieves are there? Is anyone rebelling? What is the current situation of the outer army?" Shunzhi, who stood up hastily, shouted hysterically. Until this time, he still knew nothing about the surrounding situation. None of the imperial guards surrounding the emperor could answer their master's question.
