Zilharang retreated into the city of Beijing, preparing to withstand the strong attack of the Northwest Army.The Northwest Army suddenly stopped moving, and did not launch the powerful offensive he expected.Zierharang wondered, what is Wang Shuo going to do, why did he suddenly stop moving, what does this mean, and I also want to rely on me, hehe, okay, if you have the ability, let's rely on whom, see who has relied on whom, and at the same time, he is also guessing, Wang Shuo is not going to make a suspicious plan, set up a suspicious army near Beijing City, and secretly transfer the army to fight Shunzhi and their mothers, then he is staying here, isn't it in vain He didn't dare to go back to the city, every day and the generals and ministers left around him sat on the city tower, Holding a clairvoyant eye, he observed the position in front of Wang Shuo.After looking at it for a few days, from the number of people and troop allocation revealed on the opponent's front, he judged that Wang Shuo's main force was still here, so why didn't he attack It seems that he must also have a headache about this solid city wall, his shells are gone, I'm afraid he can't blow up this city wall Since you are unwilling to withdraw troops and negotiate with me, then let's rely on it, who is afraid of whom, this Zierharang is also confused.Since Wang Shuo has already dominated the Central Plains, he has no enemies except the Manchus.As we said earlier, in ancient wars, the method of bypassing the fortified city to attack the enemy's rear was unreliable, unless you encountered a chaotic situation like the Chongzhen Dynasty, and there were people in the hinterland of your rear who were against you, and there was no way to distinguish between the front and the rear.Only in this way did the Manchus dare to directly attack Chongzhen's hinterland and deal a fatal blow to the stormy Chongzhen court.Now the situation is different, there is no enemy in the rear of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, there is no chaos at all, Wang Shuo will not be stupid enough to bypass Beijing to fight Liaodong and give himself a belly and back to suffer the enemy.Then Wang Shuo must take Beijing first.If he doesn't attack the city, he must be thinking about how to attack the city, and he can't be thinking about getting close to you.In addition to destroying the Manchus, there is still a lot of things waiting for him to deal with in Jiangnan.Then you Jierharang have to figure out what Wang Shuo wants to do to deal with you, you hurry up and guard against it, Zierharang doesn't want to, thinking that Wang Shuo just wants to rely on him, which is as he wants.He sacrificed his life to stay here, just to delay Wang Shuo's attack on Liaodong and give the Manchus time to recover their strength.It is believed that at this time, Ao Bai, Ye Chen, and Suo Etu are already making muskets, recruiting soldiers, and stepping up training to resist Wang Shuo's attack.After observing the Northwest Army for more than a month, Zilharang was relieved that they had no intention of bypassing Beijing, and it seemed that they were indeed going to rely on him as he judged.He has no food to eat, starve to death or surrender.Zilharang laughed secretly in his heart, I have enough food to eat for ten years, you can rely on it if you want, he finally put his mind at ease and went back to his house to rest.It's no wonder that Zilharang, how could he have thought that Wang Shuo and hot air balloons were so damaged that he had never seen or heard of them.It was a crisp autumn day, the wind was beautiful, and the sky was blue and blue, without a trace of clouds.The Manchu soldiers guarding the Yongding Gate in Nancheng had not fought for more than a month and had nothing to do.The weather entered late autumn, it was already a little cold, and the soldiers had breakfast, and they were bored sitting or standing on the battlements of the city wall to bask in the sun.Suddenly, a sharp-eyed soldier noticed four black dots in the sky in the distance.As time passed, the four black dots got closer and closer, and gradually you could see clearly, they were four bulging large cloth bags, and there was a large basket hanging under the cloth bag, and there seemed to be a figure moving in the basket.What was this, the soldier couldn't help but wonder, he hadn't seen it.He immediately shouted and beckoned his companions to watch.In fact, many people have seen those four things, and everyone is wondering, guessing what they are, and his shouting attracted more people's ideas, and everyone looked at that thing, and at the same time began to talk about it.Someone said, this may be a fairy, only a fairy can fly in the sky, at that time, people did not have the concept of the earth, let alone know that there are other planets other than the earth.They classify all unexplained phenomena as immortals, and now people are classified as aliens.I heard someone say that there are immortals flying in the sky, and everyone thinks it makes sense.After all, except for immortals, mortals cannot fly in the sky.Someone else said, since the gods are here, then we might as well beg the gods, hurry up and let the outside withdraw the troops, don't let us worry about it all day long, and everyone thinks it makes sense to suffer this living sin, many soldiers knelt down on the spot at the head of the city, prayed with their hands together, and bowed to the ground to worship.From such a distance, do you pray that the gods can hear it, of course you can hear it, the gods are omnipotent.He could hear us praying to the idol at home, and now that he had appeared to the gate, the counsellors on the tower had discovered it.The general still had a sense of friend and foe, he strode down from the city gate, shouted to the soldiers, took up his arms and prepared to defend against the enemy's attack, but there was no response.This is asked, is there an enemy flying in the sky, you shook your head when you saw him, and said with a secret smile: "Our general may be stunned, it's not good."
Besides, this thing flies so high, how can we defend the archery, you can't reach it" The other continued: "Don't shoot arrows, if you offend the gods above, we will be unlucky" Seeing that everyone did not react, the general was furious, and immediately pulled out his waist knife and shouted: "Pick up a weapon, prepare to resist the enemy" Everyone then got up to find weapons.But what weapon can defend against this toy that flies so high in the sky, someone picked up the waist knife, pondered if it didn't work, put it down again, turned around to get the spear, pondered and pondered if it still didn't work, and finally copied the bow.In the end, everyone agreed that they all took up their bows, bent their bows and arrows, and pointed them at the four things in the sky together.The four things were getting closer and closer, and there were indeed people on them, but they were flying too high to see who they were.Eventually, they drifted slowly past the top of the city, and without making any threat to the defenders of the city, they headed north.The Qing army slowly put down the bows and arrows in their hands, looking puzzled.Look, it's not an enemy at all, no matter how capable the Northwest Army is, it doesn't have the ability to do this, so it's good to come to the gods, not only are we not respectful to the gods, but we also have to shoot the gods with bows and arrows to provoke the gods, and the people floated away, let's just wait for death here The general looked at the four things that floated away, and his heart was full of doubts.Is this really the enemy or not, is it really like what the soldiers said, it is the key to the immortals, and there is no need to report it to Lord Zuo Ling in the city?
