Chapter 260: Surrender the Mongol Chieftain

As these Mongol chiefs roared, some of the timid Mongol chieftains stepped back and let their guards stand in front of them. When the Manchurian Eight Banners on the opposite side saw it, many people immediately shouted: "What do you want to do?" Do you want to attack us? ”

Suddenly, there were also radical Eight Banner soldiers, who roared angrily: "Quick, the Mongols have rebelled, they want to kill us Manchurians, kill." This sound seems to have been agreed, and someone just shouted the sound of killing. , and suddenly the Manchurians on the opposite side all began to slash at the Mongols.

These Mongols just wanted to scare the Manchurians in front, who knew that they would take it seriously. But on the Mongolian side, there were no generals or chiefs to come forward to command. There was no direct order to attack the Manchurians. Moreover, in these years, the Manchurians also played a shadow against the Mongols, and for a time the Mongols forgot to resist.

Those Mongolian leaders were still stunned, but their guards were not stunned, and now the Manchurian Eight Banners opposite were killing their guards. Immediately, many Mongol soldiers also resisted, but they did not have a unified command, so they could only fight on their own, and they were immediately defeated and retreated by the Manchurians.

The Mongols retreated and shouted, "Misunderstanding, this is a misunderstanding, we didn't want to kill the Manchurians." Just tell you to get out of the way, let's go and persuade the Mongol warriors in front of you to get out of the way, we want to help you. As soon as these people finished shouting, they screamed one after another. Then they all looked at it incredulously, stabbed the long knife into their body, and fell directly to the ground.

This man did not understand until he died, he was bent on helping the Manchurians, why the Manchurians killed them mercilessly. The Mongols had no one to command, and all were constantly retreating. But they couldn't retreat much, because there were still a large number of Restoration troops attacking the canyon outside.

Xia Guoxiang, who commanded the Restoration Army in the back, is now also near the canyon, and he is standing on a high ground. Looking at the Mongols inside, they were being chased by the people of Weidu to the outside of the canyon. Then I thought that the Mongol army was 30,000 people, and I immediately had a bold idea in my heart, if I could recruit some Mongols and let them kill each other, wouldn't it be better, but it can't be implemented yet.

At this time, the Mongols standing at the mouth of the canyon had already retreated into the canyon after being attacked. But the Mongols in both places were crowded together, and the Mongols who had just retreated into the canyon saw that the Mongols in the canyon were hurriedly retreating outside the canyon. Everyone shouted: "Come in, the Ming army outside is attacking too badly to be stopped." ”

The people from the inside to the outside also shouted: "Get out of here, the Manchurians have gone mad, they are killing us Mongols." He roared and rushed desperately out of the canyon.

Hearing the roar of these people, the Mongols who had just retreated were suddenly shocked and puzzled: "What nonsense are you talking about? We are here to help the Manchurians fight, and if they don't fight the Han Chinese, why do they still kill us Mongols. No one could answer why, only the shouts urging them to retreat outside the canyon, and the screams of the Eight Banners of Manchuria behind them.

Seeing that it was not possible to retreat into the canyon, these Mongolian leaders suddenly had no choice but to retreat outside the canyon. But now there is a large number of Restoration troops at the mouth of the canyon, and they can't withdraw at all. Immediately the Mongols were compressed into a small canyon, dying and dying.

Xia Guoxiang outside the canyon, and finally many people in the Qing Mongols wore gorgeous clothes. It was not at all the usual Mongol clothing, and when the army attacked, these people also hid behind. Just let some other Mongols dressed in ordinary clothes come forward to resist the Restoration Army.

Xia Guoxiang immediately understood that these people were some tribal leaders in Mongolia. It must have been when they heard that there was a large amount of silver, and they all wanted to come to Tongcheng to snatch the silver. They went all the way south, all running in front of the army, and now they happened to be blocked at the mouth of the canyon by Wei Du with the Eight Banners of Manchuria.

Seeing the leaders of these Mongolian tribes, Xia Guoxiang couldn't help but think again. At that time, Xia Guoxiang wanted to recruit these Mongols, but there was no one in his hands who could speak in the Mongol army. Without a person with authority, it would be difficult to bring the Mongols over in the shortest possible time.

Now with these Mongol tribal leaders, it can be done. Therefore, Xia Guoxiang immediately asked his generals to let the Fuming army in front of him suspend the attack first, and then surround the Mongols.

Xia Guoxiang also walked to the place where the battle had just been fought and said to the Mongolian leaders: "Listen to the Mongols in front, we are just to kill the Manchurians to take revenge, as long as you get out of the way, we can let you go." ”

Hearing Xia Guoxiang's words, all the Mongolians were stunned. Everyone was thinking, "Are these Han Chinese crazy?" Are they trying to bring us down? "For a moment, the battlefield was surprisingly quiet.

After waiting for a long time, the Mongolians on the opposite side didn't pay attention to themselves at all, let alone make a sound. Xia Guoxiang was confused for a while, thinking that he had miscalculated. These Mongols were all loyal to the Manchus, and Xia Guoxiang was suddenly a little disappointed. Seeing that the Mongols did not move, Xia Guoxiang had no choice but to say: "Do you really want to accompany the Manchurian Eight Banners to the funeral?" Well, I will fulfill you. ”

After finishing speaking, he turned around directly and took a knife from the guard beside him. Then he shouted to the Restoration Army behind: "Brothers, since these Mongols are willing to bury the Manchurian Tatars, we will fulfill them." Everyone, follow me to break through his formation and fight into the valley. Kill. ”

Xia Guoxiang roared angrily, and then took the lead in rushing towards the Mongols. The Restoration Army behind Prime Minister Xia saw that his main general was personally charging into battle, and all of them were suddenly enthusiastic. Howling and rushing towards the Mongols, the momentum of the Restoration Army was like a storm, directly slapping at the Mongol formation.

The Mongols, who were still hesitating, suddenly blew up. The guards are good to say, they are some real outlaws. On weekdays, they are entertained by the leaders with good food and drink, and now is the time to desperately protect the leaders, and everyone seems fearless.

But those tribal leaders suddenly couldn't stand. They still have a lot of life that they don't enjoy, and they don't get it directly, so how can they die at will. Seeing that the Restoration Army rushed over violently, many people panicked.

Just now I heard that Prime Minister Xia Guoxiang said that he could let them go, and many people were already shaken. Now that the Restoration Army is rushing again, these leaders still have the courage to resist. As soon as the Restoration Army began to charge, the leaders of more than a dozen small tribes immediately stood up. shouted: "I surrendered, surrendered, we will not give the Manchurians a burial." ”

Someone took the lead, and those behind immediately followed suit. But the Restoration Army has already begun to charge, and where it is so easy to stop. Although the Mongols had already come out to surrender, but now that the army had begun to charge, even if Xia Guoxiang and others tried their best to save it, more than 500 people were still hacked to death.

Xia Guo saw that these Mongol leaders outside had surrendered, leaving some people to watch them. He led the others all the way into the canyon, but these Mongols had the example of those in front of them, and they all surrendered one after another. Even Badali's general, Sergulen, surrendered.

Jueluo Erde was the general of the Mongolian Eight Banners, and was appointed by the Qing court as the deputy general of the Mongolian Eight Banners. The Mongolian Eight Banners do not have the post of chief soldier, so the deputy general is basically the biggest general under the commander. Jueluo Erde was also worthy of the Qing court's reward, and only he led his men to resist desperately.

However, under the superior strength of the Restoration Army, Jueluo Erde's resistance did not make any big waves. It was soon suppressed, and Jueluo Erde was killed, paying for his life for the Manchus to whom he was loyal.

Since there are still a large number of Mongols in the country, Xia Guoxiang and the Manchurian Eight Banners in front of him are still very hostile. It was also due to the large number of Mongols involved, Xia Guoxiang wanted to discuss it with Weidu, but it was not possible. Seeing this, Xia Guoxiang hurriedly asked people to take the Mongols out of the canyon. The Restoration Army, which had already rushed into the canyon, was urgently gathering and starting to set up a formation, looking to launch a bigger charge.

The Manchurian Eight Banners led by Wei Du were also sorting out their formations, and a big battle broke out. When those Mongol leaders saw this, they were eager to grow two more feet and leave here as soon as possible. If the Restoration Army remembers to use these Mongols as cannon fodder, it will be troublesome.

And the mood of the Mongols wanting to leave is also in line with the current situation of the Restoration Army. Therefore, the Restoration Army quickly let people escort these surrendered Mongols to the Ming army camp, and then let them be strictly guarded.

Even if they are guarded, after all, there is no need to worry about their lives now, and these Mongolians are very honest. They were not worried that the Ming army would break their promise and kill them. Because they all know that the Han people have always liked a false name, as long as the Ming army wins, their posture will be lowered, and we will be loyal to the Ming Dynasty in the future.

The officials of the Ming Dynasty would entertain them with delicious food and drink, and then keep their promises and release them back to the grassland. didn't care at all that after returning to the grassland, he began to attack the Ming Dynasty again. Instead of being like the Manchus, they said they wanted to kill you directly. Even if you surrender, you have to be made to shed a layer of skin.

After letting people take away these Mongolian leaders, Xia Guoxiang directly took two guards and entered the military formation of the Eight Banners of Manchuria. If those Mongol leaders had seen this, I am afraid that no one would have dared to surrender again.

Xia Guoxiang came to Weidu's army, and he didn't go far before he found that the attack had also stopped in front. On the calm battlefield, there was only one voice, that is, in front of the Badali array, loudly persuading the Mongol army to lay down their arms. When Xia Guoxiang saw this scene, he was stunned in surprise, and suddenly felt that the scene he had just now was completely superfluous.

After Wei Du saw the Prime Minister of Xia, he hurriedly pulled the Prime Minister of Xia aside and said: "Why did you come here at this time, if you let the Mongols see it, something big will happen." How about it, the Mongols in the back have all cleaned up? ”

Xia Guoxiang said: "What am I, those Mongolian leaders are forced to have no way out, and surrender is inevitable." But you're still so good that you let that Mongol persuade the Mongols to surrender. I was in the back just now, and it took a lot of effort to catch a few hundred people. Wei Du said: "This is an accident of mine, he found it himself." ”

"What?" Xia Guoxiang was even more curious, and then said, "There are still such people?" So who is he? He went to recruit the Mongol soldiers, can he do it? ”

Wei Du said: "Now it seems that the situation is still quite good, mainly because the power of the Mongols is too scattered. Most of them live as tribes, and the right to rule is also with the head of the tribe. This man's name was Badali, and he was a prince of the Manchu Dynasty, but he could not control the soldiers of other tribes. He was appointed commander of this army by the Manchus, and he usually commanded the tribal leaders. Then the tribal leaders will command the soldiers below. ”
