Chapter 188 The Prince's Escape

The Korean Crown Prince Lee and the Second Prince Lee Seok stayed in the underground palace, and felt that the dark days were not over, and they were extremely depressed. Although Guan Zan-Tang specially brought a few decks of cards that had just become popular in the Ming Dynasty when he set out, he taught the two princes "Doudizhu" to play and use "Doudizhu" to do nothing. At the beginning, the two princes were also very interested, but after a long time, they could no longer bear this tired card game and endless waiting. At the beginning, they said that there would be a few ten or twenty days to get rid of the danger, and then they said that at most one month, and then they said that it was soon, but after talking, there was nothing to say.

Just a few days after escaping to the underground palace, the Jinyiwei learned about the Qing soldiers' day and night warnings and set up traps to encircle and annihilate the people. There was no way, so he had to push the plan to escape from the danger. In fact, the overheated air balloon was not considered, but the prince was afraid of acrophobia. Besides, the hot air balloon had no motivation, and it was up to heaven to fly wherever he flew. The wind direction was not man-made. The two princes were in a panic and did not know the landing location and landing directly into the Tartar camp. Let two rookies who knew nothing about the hot air balloon to control the hot air balloon, and no one dared to take this risk! What's more, the prince was afraid of acrophobia.

There is no way, so wait honestly.

Fortunately, this underground palace was indeed secretly built, and the food stored in the underground palace was very sufficient. Since the Qing soldiers could not find this place for a while, in principle, it would not be a problem to wait for him in the underground palace for half a year. In short, safety first, no matter what, the two princes should not be allowed to put themselves in danger. Finally, the news about the two princes in Shenyang City was not so tight, and most of the Qing soldiers' guard posts everywhere retreated. Guan Zantang believed that it was time to let the two princes escape.

For the safety of the two princes, the revised "Silver Fox Escape Plan" is really hard work.

In order to escape from danger, the two princes were afraid that the two princes would be in trouble, so they arranged 500 cavalry under Wu Sangui to break into the relay from the eastern line. At the same time, they arranged ships on the Bohai Sea coast to the south. Sun Du brought 30 special forces members as the relay.

At the fourth update, Guan Zantang, fifteen special forces members and three Jinyiwei guards, guarding the two princes and two grandsons, rode on pre-prepared horses and galloping southeast in the dark.

After half an hour after the two princes set off, in a forest east of Shenyang City, several Jinyiwei put two hot air balloons prepared in advance into the sky. The two hot air balloons were much smaller than the manned hot air balloons. In addition to a small alcohol blowtorch, two scaled-down straw men were also placed in the hanging basket.

The airbags of these two hot air balloons were specially made of colorful silk. The flames sprayed by the alcohol blowtorch reflected the colorful silk airbags, like a huge colorful lantern. After the two balloons rose into the air, they were inevitably discovered by the Qing soldiers on duty at the city. The Qing soldiers found that these two huge colored spheres floated into the sky, and immediately alarmed a Qing army Zhang Jing. The leader of Zhang Jing, a first-level leader, had been specifically told to prevent the hot air balloon from flying in the air. So a group of Qing soldiers set their sights on the two hot air balloons, and some Qing soldiers even tried to fire more than a dozen shots at the hot air balloons. Of course, the hot air balloons flew too high, far from being able to hit the rifle in the hands of the Qing soldiers.

Soon even Dorgon was alarmed. Given that no one could do anything about this hot air balloon flying in the air, Dorgon had to order the cavalry to follow the hot air balloon, and the cavalry would follow wherever the balloon floated. At the same time, he ordered a warning and patrol in Shenyang within a radius of 100 miles, and to intercept the fleeing Korean prince.

Hot air balloons were in a mess here in Chenyang. Guan Zantang and the others had already released their horses for an hour and a half, and ran a hundred miles away. At this time, they met with the 500 cavalry sent by Wu Sangui and the 30 special forces members of Sun Du. Speaking of which, Wu Sangui's 500 cavalry, one person, two horses, horses picked bells, and people held a chord. Yesterday, they sneaked into the west of Phoenix Castle fifty miles west of Phoenix Castle and lurked in a mountain. Tonight, the 500 cavalry team ran all the way. When they met a small group of patrol Qing soldiers, they divided their troops to kill the enemy. Then the horse team continued to rush to the meeting place without stopping.

The three groups of people met at the scheduled location, and the plan was half successful. Next, the cavalry team distributed 100 cavalry to escort the two Korean princes to the southwest coast and evacuate on the sea route. The brigade of cavalry returned to Wu Sangui's military camp outside Phoenix City to attract the Qing army's pursuit. Given that the cavalry raids had been discovered by the Qing army patrol team, there would definitely be Qing soldiers siege and intercept them towards Phoenix City, and this team of nearly 400 cavalry would be in danger. However, in order to protect the Korean prince from safety, such an arrangement is also essential.

After dividing the troops, Guan Zantang protected the two princes in the 150 cavalry along the way and rushed to the southwest. In less than an hour, he could reach the beach, where Ming Navy ships and marines were waiting.

In the Chenyang side, the alcohol on the two hot air balloons was burned out soon. Originally, they were just two props. The alcohol in the alcohol can was limited and it was burned out soon, and the alcohol blowtorch was turned off. As a result, the air temperature in the hot air balloon's air bag continued to drop, the balloon's height continued to drop, and then it fell to the ground. When the Qing soldiers followed, they found that the hanging basket was just a reduced version of the straw man, they immediately realized that they were fooled.

He was busy all the time inside and outside the city of Chenyang. Unexpectedly, he was deceived by two prop-level hot air balloons, and he was fooled around. After knowing that Dorgon had no choice but to call him to nothing.

The sky was getting brighter and brighter. Guan Zantang was riding his horse and wondering if he would encounter Qing soldiers in front of him. In the hinterland of the Qing army, he might have met the Qing army somewhere. Although Sun Du had already explored the way and confirmed that there was no trace of Qing army on the way, and the cavalry team towards Phoenix Castle would definitely attract the Qing army to focus on siege and block, it was hard to say what would happen before safely reaching the boarding site on the beach.

Because of the two princes of North Korea, the whole team could not gallop with all their might, but there were no accidents along the way. It seemed that today's luck was good. Less than 60 miles ahead was the beach. The group was grateful that the journey was unobstructed today.

Of course, the more beautiful you think, the more the facts will hit you. The Qing army's patrol cavalry appeared at this moment. Guan Zantang realized that his vocation had been exposed. The Qing army's patrol cavalry team should have sent back the cavalry to report the message before it appeared. I believe that soon, the Qing army's cavalry would intercept the Qing army's cavalry in front, or a squad of cavalry would chase after him.

At this point, the only way to rush forward was to let the horse go forward. Guan Zantang made a quick decision and called the order to surround the two princes' horses in the center. Regardless of how the two princes felt, he had to sprint. Now he was just fighting with the Qing soldiers, and the closer he got to the beach, the more chances of winning. He had already asked someone to gallop to the beach to report the news. As long as the Marines leaned forward in time to respond, I believe that they could break through the Qing army's encirclement and interception.

In fact, after learning that the hot air balloon was in the sky, Dorgon made a series of arrangements near Shenyang. After all, Dorgon was not an idiot, and immediately felt that he should make more preparations. Obviously, the two Korean princes were still in Liaodong, and the two princes must have chosen to escape tonight. As for whether to escape in hot air balloons, they could not make a conclusion before confirming it. Dorgon confirmed his doubts with Hong Chengchou. Hong Chengchou only reminded him to be prepared for the plan of being a golden cicada shed. Dorgon woke up and immediately ordered Haidongqing to go out, and ordered all departments in the territory to inspect closely to prevent the two Korean princes from escaping.

So, the Qing army patrol team ran into Guan Zantang's team, and then went to report the news.

Soon, more than 500 Qing cavalry took a shortcut and blocked the front. Guan Zantang frowned secretly, but there was no way to avoid it. At this time, we met on a narrow road and there was no possibility of retreating. Fortunately, Sun Du and the others brought two machine guns, and the opponents equipped with apart from grenades, were all cold weapons.

Guan Zantang shouted:

"Sun Du, if you lead fifty cavalry and thirty special forces, you must repel these Qing soldiers."

"Get orders."

Facing the influx of Qing cavalry, with Sun Du's order, two machine guns began to spit out flames, and the Qing army rushed forward with people and horses. However, the Qing army surrounded the two flanks with large numbers of people and horses.

The special forces members were equipped with a Type 45 rifle and two pistols, and of course, there was also a must-equipped sabre for Wu Sangui's cavalry. The special forces members fired with rifles when they were far away, and used pistols in close combat, and finally used sabres. Although the Qing cavalry fell down sixty or seventy under the bullets, they had no intention of retreating at all, and they still rushed forward with all their might. After all, the firepower density of Sun Du's subordinates was limited, and Wu Sangui's cavalry was equipped with cold weapons - sabre bows and arrows, but also shotguns. Such firepower could not suppress the Qing cavalry's rush forward. In the blink of an eye, the Qing army rushed up, and in a blink of an eye, the two sides fought together. At this time, the machine gun was no longer useful, so they had to withdraw Guan Zantang's rear team as the fire cover of the rear team.

Although the Qing soldiers were extremely brave, after all, the Qing soldiers were guards in the rear and had limited combat power. In addition, the special forces were all sharp firearms. When using pistols in close combat, even if they could not hurt people, the horses were a large target. When shot out, the Qing army often turned over and over. The shotguns in Wu Sangui's cavalry were also very powerful. The Qing army wanted to surround them and fight less. With a bang, it was a bunch of iron sand coming towards them. Even if the Qing soldiers had armor defense, they would still be injured by the flying iron sand when they were close. As for the mount under the crotch, they were bombarded by the iron sand and immediately blasted into blood.

But no matter what, there were many Qing soldiers, and the Qing army's arrow rain was also very powerful. In addition, the Qing soldiers used the detonating grenade to die together, which also caused heavy casualties among the cavalry around Sun Du, with nearly thirty people dead, and only a handful of them were not injured. Fortunately, the Qing army's grenade explosion power was limited, otherwise Sun Du's men would have been consumed by this kind of death together.

After a bloody battle, the 500 Qing army cavalry could not resist Sun Du's sharp firearms. Under this superior firepower, the Qing army had only more than one hundred people left. They stopped far away and no longer dared to rush forward, but they refused to retreat.

After Guan Zantang sent machine guns to assist in the battle again, after a burst of strafing fire, the Qing army's cavalry finally retreated.

Guan Zantang and his party ran again, heading straight to the beach.

But after a while, Qing cavalry chased after him. This time, the Qing cavalry was equipped with rifles and shotguns. Guan Zantang had to lead the troops to cut off the rear. While suppressing the machine gun fire, he placed thunders and retreated.

Of course, it is impossible to block the five hundred Qing cavalry. When it was about to be unable to withstand it, the Marine Corps responded. The Marine Corps' rocket launcher immediately began to show its power, rumbling, and the shells exploded one after another among the Qing cavalry, killing and injured in a short while. After seeing the power of the Ming army's rocket launcher, the Qing army's five hundred cavalry did not dare to chase after it, so they had to wait for the subsequent reinforcements to make a decision.

After finally reaching the beach, Guan Zantang thought he was finally escaped safely, but Sun Du reported that the prince was injured. The prince was hit in the back by a stray bullet, perhaps because the pursuers shot later. However, after the prince was shot, he held it without saying a word until he arrived at the beach. When he relaxed, he fell off the horse and remained unconscious afterwards.

Although he was helpless, Guan Zantang could only deal with the injury of the prince Li Li, and then the group boarded the ship and left.
