With the help of his personal guards, Jirgalang put on his armor and took a big step outside the tent.

A Qing army turned over and dismounted and knelt in front of him on one knee. "Master, I fired a slight arrow in the city, saying that the Ming army appeared outside the west gate and wanted to steal into Tongzhou City. General Wudahai had led his troops to intercept, but the enemy was powerful and had nearly 10,000 people. Please send reinforcements as soon as possible."

Jirgalang was shocked. Nearly 10,000 people? Could it be that Tang Tong led his troops out of the capital? He pondered for a moment and ordered: "Jinomqi, you should take five thousand cavalry to reinforce Wudahai immediately. Wu Bashi, commanded the entire army to be on guard to prevent Wu Sangui from attacking on the other side of the river."

The two responded in unison: "Zhe!"

Wu Sangui, who was sleeping soundly, was also awakened. He put on his clothes and saw the fires rising into the sky in the distance, and his ears were filled with shouts of killing. He frowned and said to himself: "Can Tongzhou City be broken?"

A handsome young man, under twenty years old, came over. His name is Xia Guoxiang. Although he is young, he is already the number one strategist under Wu Sangui's tent, and he is Wu Sangui's son-in-law. "Master, judging from this situation, something might have happened in Tongzhou. If our army does not move, it will inevitably be held accountable by the court in the future. I think General Gao will lead 3,000 cavalry across the river. On the one hand, he will explain to the court, and on the other hand, he can also figure out what happened as soon as possible."

Wu Sangui nodded and turned to Gao Dejie and said, "Dejie, go! Go through the small ferry on the north side. There are not many Qing troops there. Don't rush too hard, just be almost the same. Take all the soldiers back to me safely."

Gao Dijie responded and turned over and walked away.

Bai Xu originally wanted to lead his troops to sneak into the city, but he was discovered by the Qing army. He shouted: "Wen Kai, Huo Jun, take your brothers to enter the city quickly. All the cavalry will follow me to stop the enemy."

Huo Jun grabbed Bai Hu's mount, "General, the army must be in charge. You should go to the city first and go to intercept the Tartars."

Wen Kai also said, "Yes! General. The most important thing now is to prevent the Qing army from entering the city. You should first enter the city and contact the guards in the city, and come down to the palace."

Bai Hun looked hesitant, and the Qing cavalry rushed over, and was about to reach the near future. "Huo Jun, go and stop the Tartars. Don't fight with them. When the matter is over, you don't have to enter the city again and escape in dispersion."

Huo Jun responded, raised his whip, and roared, "Follow me." Two thousand cavalrymen followed closely behind.

Bai Hu saw the city gate open, slammed forward and shouted loudly: "The soldiers in the front camp quickly enter the city. After entering the city, the archers climbed the city wall to defend against the enemy. The swords and spearmen set up formations at the entrance of the city to prevent the Qing army from entering." After that, he entered the city first.

The Ming army had more than 8,000 people from the young and strong who transported grain. The city gate was narrow and wide, but only seven or eight people could pass side by side at the same time. The crowd was crowded and shoulder to shoulder, and there were shouts and scoldings from time to time. Someone stepped on the people who were approaching.

Wen Kai saw that it was difficult to enter for a moment and shouted loudly: "The whole camp formed a formation and let others enter the city first. The sword and shield soldiers were in front, and the spearmen placed the spears between the shields. Musketeers and archers lined up behind to prevent the Qing cavalry from coming."

With his shout, the entire camp immediately stabilized. According to his order, the formation began to form in an orderly manner.

Under the city of Tongzhou, a horse was flat and unobstructed. The horse was rushing wildly under the whip, and the ground made a loud noise. The two cavalry collided fiercely like two meteors.

The cavalry on the front side fell off the horse, and then the horses pressed on it. The feathers and arrows flew over the sky, and swords and guns were raised on the bottom. From time to time, some horses fell down in sarcasm, and some soldiers screamed and landed on the ground. The two armies squeezed into a group and rushed back and forth between the plains. In a short while, hundreds of casualties in the Ming army, but they also slowed down the Qing cavalry that was coming like a tide.

Wudahai was Nurhaci's nephew, and he was usually fierce and fierce. These days, Jiergalang only allowed the bandits to attack the city. The Qing army had to eat and sleep every day, which made him feel suffocated. Therefore, when he heard the sound of arrows coming from the city, he immediately lit up his troops and rushed over. He had only three thousand cavalry under his command. He was shocked when he saw the vast crowd at the city gate, but he was extremely excited. He knew that as long as he delayed, a large number of reinforcements would arrive. At that time, he could defeat the Ming army, and even attack Tongzhou.

Wuda Hai was going to defeat the Ming cavalry in front of him and then enter the city. But the Ming army in front of him fought to the death and could not retreat in a short time. The Ming army at the gate of the city was flocking to the city. He was furious, roared wildly, and slapped his horse eastward, with hundreds of cavalry following him. He wanted to bypass the Ming cavalry in front of him and rushed straight to the Ming army at the gate of the city.

Huo Jun was anxious, but at this time he was entangled by the Qing army in front of him, so how could he distribute troops? He could only watch the hundreds of Qing cavalry galloping away.

Wang Xiantong saw the rider galloping towards the city gate clearly, and his face changed drastically, and he quickly shouted: "Chain them, shoot them to death." The feather arrow flew out with a whistling sound, and several Qing cavalry in front fell off.

Wudahai lowered his body, braved his hare and walked forward, and shouted that the soldiers on both sides would scatter.

Wen Kai shouted loudly: "Shoot the horses."

The bows and muskets were fired at the same time, and they were shot straight ahead. Horses were much easier to shoot than people. In an instant, dozens of horses fell down in a roar, knocking the horses above them down. Most of them didn't even have time to scream, and they were stepped into a ball of meat by the horses on the back.

But there were also Qing cavalry running towards the Ming army and relying on the horse to break a gap in the Ming army formation. But in an instant, countless spears stabbed, either stabbing horses or people, blocking the gap again.

The horse's hooves sounded like thunder in the distance, and the Qing army's reinforcements arrived.

Wu Dahai was very happy and commanded his soldiers to rush forward regardless of the losses. Although they were blocked by the Ming army every time, their purpose was to enter the city. If they delayed, they would probably be destroyed here.

Bai Hu stood at the top of the city, anxious, and asked Wang Xiantong repeatedly, "Where is the cannon! Why are there no cannons? Where are the cavalry? Why don't they go out from the south gate to help?"

Wang Xiantong looked embarrassed and did not answer. The East Gate and North Gate were the main attack directions of the Qing army. The only dozen artillery pieces in the city were placed on the two walls. The three thousand camps in the Beijing camp were deserted, and there were only hundreds of horses that could be collected in the city. Moreover, the soldiers had not been trained for a long time, so they were just going to die when they went out.

At this critical moment, I saw a long bow on the top of the city wall, and responded to the sound. Wu Dahai screamed, covered his left eye with his hand, and fell from the horse.

The Qing army around was shocked and shouted loudly, "Master!" Several cavalrymen turned over and dismounted, carried Wudahai onto their horses, and galloped backwards.

The general fired arrows one after another, and every arrow was shot. Seven or eight arrows were shot, and seven or eight Qing troops were shot down continuously, and the Qing army took the lead in rushing forward.

The Qing army was shocked and dared not rush backward for a while, and only delayed the Ming army's entry into the city with bows and arrows.
