Chapter 552: Huang Taiji
"Master Hou!"
This arrow was as fast as a meteor, and Qinshan Lake and the white tiger were all taken aback, and they quickly rushed down the mountain.
Crawling and running all the way, Qin Shanhu picked up Wang Xiao first, and his face was already shocked.
But I heard the horse's hooves rolling like thunder on the mountain road, and the banners were waving in the wind, and I couldn't count how many soldiers and horses rushed over from the flat-topped mountain.
The first member of the fierce general rode his horse at a gallop, as fast as flying, and just put down the longbow in his hand......
"It's the elite of Jiannu!"
"Where did Jiannu come from?!"
Wang Xiao's 4,000 Chu army was half ambushed under Xingjing City, and at this time, there were only more than 1,500 people on the battlefield after fighting, and they all shouted and retreated.
Qin Shanhu didn't care about looking at the battlefield for a while, and looked down at Wang Xiao, only to see that his abdomen was bleeding nonstop, and there was no spirit in his eyes.
"Lord Hou......"
"Quick! Help me...... You hold on to Master Hou......"
"Cutting the Tail of the Arrow" ......
"Wait! There are barbs. β
"I can't take care of it, there is a groove on the shaft of the arrow, and if you don't pull out the blood, it will drain up......"
"Ahh
Wang Xiao screamed in pain, the green plate on his neck exploded, and his body trembled.
"Quick! Press and hold ......"
In a panic, the white tiger quickly glanced back and shouted: "There are too many Jiannu, you protect Hou Ye and leave!" β
Wang Xiao frowned in pain, opened his mouth, and his throat was full of blood all over Qinshan Lake.
"The ...... of the siege gate Two thousand ...... Person...... This? β
The white tiger looked at the rolling iron rider on the mountain and said, "Jiannu came from that side, they must have been completely annihilated, and they can't be controlled...... Retreat! β
Qin Shanhu shouted: "Retreat!" Protect the Hou Ye! β
"Brothers, follow Lao Tzu to break off!"
"Protect the ...... of Lord Hou"
Qin Shanhu and his party helped Wang Xiao and left.
They didn't have horses, and they knew that they couldn't outrun Jiannu, so they ran to the mountains and forests on both sides.
Wang Xiao struggled for a moment, wanted to look back but had no strength, and muttered, "Look at it...... What flag? β
"Master Hou, don't worry about it, let's go......"
"What...... What...... Flag? β
"Yellow flag."
"Yes...... Who? β
"Let's go! It doesn't matter who it is......"
"Q...... Who is it? β
The white tiger pushed Qin Shanhu, turned around and shouted to the rear: "Who is coming?!" β
"Who's coming?"
The sound shook the sky and echoed through the valley......
The horse's hooves were like thunder, and in response to him were a cry of killing.
"Kill the Southern Barbarians!"
"Kill ......"
The white tiger held the knife in his hand, only to feel his blood gushing.
In an instant, a loud roar shook the sky......
"Your grandfather, the first class of the Qing Dynasty, Mele Zhangjing, the commander of the protectors, Manchurian Baturu, Guerjia...... Bow down! β
β¦β¦
The word 'Aobai' is in the ear, and it is faster at the foot of Qinshan Lake.
Wang Xiao suddenly burst out laughing.
"Haha...... Cough...... Hahaha......"
He coughed and laughed, bleeding all over his body.
"Haha...... Huang Tai Chi ...... What the fuck are you ...... Finally reluctant...... Came back......"
Now I'm just dead, this game, I still win you.
Compare with me?
Haha, look who's ruthless!
~~
Two hundred miles west of Gaizhou City.
The horses galloped and kicked up smoke and dust all the way.
"Report!"
"Handsome! A hundred miles to the west, a large number of Jiannu cavalry were found, and the rough estimate exceeded more than 20,000 people......"
Qin Chengye shouted: "Banner." β
"White flag."
Qin Chengye turned his head suddenly, and his eyes burst with light.
"Dolgon!"
"Report, a large strand of soldiers and horses inlaid with white flags and blue flags were found in the south."
"Newspaper, east...... Positive red flag. β
Qin Chengye's face sank like water, and he turned his head to look north.
After a while, several fast horses came galloping from afar.
"Newspaper, north...... A large number of soldiers and horses were found in the north...... Be...... It is a positive yellow flag. β
Qin Chengye's complexion changed slightly.
Behind him, Qin Shanqu, Qin Shanshui and others stepped forward one after another.
"Father, we are surrounded, immediately rush to ......"
Qin Chengye didn't answer them.
He has made great achievements in his life, and he has come to this point from a reckless person, and there are almost no rivals in the world, except for ...... Huang Tai Chi.
The emperor of the Manchurians defeated him again and again, shattering his heroic spirit.
At this moment, the aging veteran wants to make a decision.
Then, the shadow of the great failure that had run through his life suddenly fell.
- Where should I break through? Is it that wherever you go, you are all in the calculation of Huang Taiji?
Qin Chengye tried to open his mouth, but he couldn't speak......
~~
Capital.
King Qin's soldiers and horses from Xuanda had just set up camp outside the city.
Before Sun Baigu could unload his armor and enter the city, suddenly a few fast horses rushed from the capital.
"King Qi signaled...... Release! β
The camp gate was opened, and a group of people rushed to Sun Baigu, and a middle-aged scholar led by him turned over and dismounted, hugged his fists and said, "Contemptible Wang Zhen." β
His expression was extremely solemn and anxious.
Sun Baigu hugged his fists, and before he could open his mouth to say hello, he heard Wang Zhen suppress his voice and said quickly: "Jizhen has been defeated." β
"What?"
"The army of the slave chiefs has rushed to the capital, I am afraid that it will be a day, the governor does not have to go to Jizhen, please move to the city and guard the capital."
"Message confirmed?"
"I'm not sure, I just know that Jizhen has been defeated...... The spies saw from afar that the soldiers and horses of Jiannu were coming to the capital, and their momentum was huge, and they did not know how many people there were, and it was difficult to get up close. β
Sun Baigu was quite a veteran, and he was not flustered, and muttered: "Have you seen the banner of the slave chief?" β
"Yes, the slave chieftain has arrived."
Sun Baigu unconsciously pressed his hand on the knife, frowned and said slowly: "The slave chief is treacherous and cunning, and it is unpredictable. β
"The younger generation understands, but the defense of the Jingshi must not be careless, and can only prepare for the worst."
At this time, there was no time to talk in detail, Wang Zhen turned over and got on the horse, hugged his fists and said: "The younger generation will also organize the people to enter the city, please leave the matter of defending the city to the commander, and after the city defense is arranged, the king of Qi will personally see the commander......"
~~
Juyongguan.
Blood flowed down the gates.
Under the rain of arrows, the Rui Chao soldiers fell to the ground screaming.
Rolling logs and boulders fell down, and countless people wailed......
"Siege! Don't stop! β
Soldiers screamed and fell from the gates, falling to the ground and falling into the mud.
But there were also soldiers who finally gained a firm foothold on the pass and fought hard to kill the Chu army......
In the tragic battle, the door of Juyong Pass was slowly opened.
The Rui soldiers who climbed into the gate were still pushing the gate hard, and the Chu army rushed over and cut them to the ground.
Tang Jie was furious, and he rushed forward.
The lance flew over, like a group of demons dancing wildly, and the Chu army was defeated and retreated in an instant. Beauty Nest
Tang Jie rode his horse into the city, and there was a tendency for the gods to block and kill the gods.
The Chu army in the city was shocked, and the tide began to retreat, opened the east gate, and fled to the east quickly.
Tang Jie was covered in blood, and the anger in his heart could not be eliminated, so he led the cavalry to rush forward.
The Chu army, which lost the city, was driven and slaughtered by the Swiss army, like a flock of sheep meeting a tiger, screaming miserably.
"Ahh
A Chu soldier fled a little slowly, and was pierced out of his abdomen by Tang Jie, and the whole person was lifted.
"Say! What about the people of Sun Baigu?! β
The Chu soldiers screamed incessantly, dancing in the air.
Tang Jie threw him to the ground with a strong throw, and the huge horse's hooves stepped straight on his head.
In the distance, several Chu flags were still moving eastward, with a big 'Sun' character written on them.
Mountains of blood-stained ......
Finally, a guard persuaded: "Your Highness, don't chase after the poor." β
Only then did Tang Jie raise his hand and order the troops to be withdrawn.
When he returned to Juyong Pass, he saw that Tang Qianqian was arranging for someone to collect the bones of the soldiers.
As soon as Tang Jie saw her, he became angry and said, "This is what you said about making an agreement with the Chu Dynasty?!" That's what you're saying they're going to give up to mediocrity?! β
"Donald Laosan, calm down."
"I can't calm down, I know how many people I've died in this battle? Almost 3,000 people! It's all my elite! β
Tang Jie's eyes were already red, he raised his hand and pointed at the city pass, and shouted: "They listened to you, and they came in a hurry, but before they reached the pass, the cannonballs bombarded their corpses and bones!" β
Tang Qianqian said: "This is not Sun Baigu's ambush. β
Tang Jie sneered, lifted the lance and cut it off, and lifted a Chu soldier's head and put it in front of Tang Qianqian's eyes.
"This is not Chu Bing? The Chu Dynasty was treacherous first, so don't blame me for being ruthless! β
Tang Qianqian didn't raise her eyes, and said coldly: "'Chu soldiers' may not really be Chu soldiers, you don't know how many people have been surrendered in Jizhen and Shanhaiguan." β
"You still believe in the nonsense of the Chu Dynasty." Tang Jie sneered: "Okay, even if it is the surrender of the slaves, all of this is designed by the slave chieftain, have they withdrawn?" No, they sent an ambush to stop us here, and their army has already gone to besiege Chujing. Is it time to take the chestnut from the fire? Once Jiannu takes Chu Jing, how else can we fight? β
Tang Qianqian said: "Don't worry, wait for the news to find out first." β
"The military situation is like fire, I can't wait."
Tang Qianqian knew that Tang Jie was really angry this time, so she slowed down her tone and sighed lightly: "Third brother, you don't want to think about it, what if this is Jiannu's trick?"
I judged that the slave chief must have left, so he set up a suspicious formation, in order to cause a war between our two dynasties. If we start another war with Sun Baigu, he will definitely come back after cleaning up the situation in Liaodong. The Eight Banners were on the horse for the soldiers, and the horses were for the people, and the army of Jiannu could not be idle. As long as we guard the Juyong Pass and don't give Jiannu a chance, they will definitely not be able to afford it, so they can only release the flag to cultivate and graze, and then take the capital again. β
"This is just your judgment, if you are wrong, most of our success in fighting for the world will be lost."
"You know, I've always been right."
Tang Jie frowned, thought for a long time, and took a few steps to the side.
Tang Qianqian looked at the soldiers around her and followed.
"Seventh sister, I understand what you said, but this is also an opportunity. No matter who is behind it, this battle is clearly Sun Baigu sneaking up on us...... We want to resist foreign captives, but Chu Ting has come to such a hand, and the people's righteousness is on our side. Our army came down in anger, and in one fell swoop, it was possible to conquer Chujing. β
Tang Qianqian said: "What if Jiannu cleans up the situation in Liaodong when we are both defeated, and immediately counterattacks?" The slave chieftain is cunning and must not be careless. β
"Look ahead." Tang Jie sneered, and suddenly said, "Or is it ...... Are you selfish? β
Tang Qianqian was stunned.
"You did all this, it was the Huaiyuan Marquis of the Chu Dynasty who asked you to do it, right? You keep saying that you are for Da Rui, and in your selfish heart it is nothing more than to take advantage of those boys. β
β¦β¦
"If it is my selfishness, I wish that Jiannu would not come back, so that I would not worry about it all the time."
- Tang Qianqian's heart couldn't say this sentence in the end, but when she thought of Wang Xiao, her eyes suddenly turned red......
~~
Shengjing City.
Bumu Butai sat behind the beaded curtain.
All the kings and ministers of the palace sat upright.
After discussing the matter, Dai Shan already understood what Concubine Zhuang meant.
ββAt all costs, stabilize the situation and let the emperor defeat Chu Jing with peace of mind.
Because it's about the position of the next emperor.
β¦β¦
Nurhachi's rule is that non-Eight Banner Banner owners cannot be Khan, and at the same time, Houjin also has the tradition of 'brother to brother'.
In this case, Dorgon would be the most suitable successor.
In fact, Dolgon was Nurhachi's favorite son......
But now, this is Huang Taiji's 'Great Qing Empire', not Nurhachi's 'Great Golden Khanate'.
Whether it was to prevent the existing balance of the Eight Banners from being broken, or to maintain the hard-built imperial system, Huang Taiji was unwilling to appoint Dolgon as his heir.
For Bumu Butai, Huang Taiji's capture of Chujing is extremely powerful for the matter of 'the succession of the prince'.
She wanted him to raise the prestige of the Qing emperor to another level before he died.
β¦β¦
"Your Majesty is eloquent and strategic, wise and brave, unparalleled in military strategy, and Yanjing can be obtained. We will guard the gate and not be dragged down by Your Majesty. β
After singing, the kings and their ministers turned and left the main hall.
Behind the beaded curtain, Bumu Butai slowly scratched his fake nails on the back of his hand, his eyes contemplative.
In Zilharang's absence, she used Dai Shan to govern Shengjing City very well.
The Chu cavalry who entered the Kou was also pressed in Gaizhou.
She also sent a letter to Huang Taiji, asking him to attack Chu Jing with peace of mind.
- Heh, no matter how well the man named 'Wang Xiao' did a good job, he couldn't stop the footsteps of the Qing Dynasty......
The next moment, there was a sudden overwhelming shouting outside the hall.
"Long live my emperor......"
Bumu Butai stood up abruptly and looked up in disbelief at the outside of the hall.
"How is that possible? He...... How can I come back......"
- How could this emperor lose in the overall situation?
Or, has he already taken Chu Jing?
Right...... This is the only one possible......
Long.
Bumu Butai stood there and waited for a long time, but he never saw the fat figure coming.
She opened her mouth, turned her head and asked, "Your Majesty...... What about people? β
"Concubine Zhuang Niangniang, Your Majesty has gone...... Went to ...... Guan Sui Palace. β
~~
In the inn in the outer city, the shepherd looked at the long line of guards walking in the distance, and looked at the jubilation and enthusiasm in Shengjing City, and he was stunned.
"How is that possible...... How could he come back quietly? β
~~
In front of the ruins of Guan Sui Palace, Huang Taiji stood there quietly.
Dai Shan stood behind him and said in an old voice: "Eighth brother, this ......"
"Needless to say, I've laid everything out."
Huang Taiji only opened his mouth to say a word.
No one could relate to his anger.
But someone dared to destroy the love of his life and dig up the graves of his parents.
When he came back, he temporarily gave up the great cause of the Central Plains, so he wanted the anger of the Son of Heaven to pour out......
-------------------------------------
Meanwhile.
In distant England, Cromwell had just defeated the Royalists, putting King Charles I in prison. He considered himself the greatest political and military leader of his time, and set out to create an entirely new republic......
In the Bourbon dynasty of France, eight-year-old Louis XIV sat on the throne and listened to the Queen Mother Anna say slowly: "We and our Swedish allies will win this almost thirty years of religious wars, divide the Germans, and you will be the greatest king of this era......"
In Sweden, Queen Christina proposed to her Prime Minister Oxensensena to end the Wars of Religion, but her Prime Minister objected: "Your Majesty, your father Gustav the Great is the greatest military commander in the world, and his legacy will shine on us to win this war, and you will become the greatest king of our time......"
At this time, what these 'great kings' did not know was how an emperor with a real military genius and political genius was opening up the world in the far eastern continent.
This man named Huang Taiji has been a khan and an emperor for nine years, and has single-handedly created the most powerful empire in the world.
Because of his barbarian origin, because of his evil deeds of burning, killing and looting, his later comments may not be comparable to that of Gustav, the 'Lion of the North', but he was really a genius among emperors.
In this battle, he calmly arranged, traveled three thousand miles of rivers and mountains, and easily pressed the four corners of the chessboard with a simple move.
On this day, Qin Chengye fell into a heavy siege, Wang Zhen panicked, Tang Jie was furious, and Wang Xiao was seriously injured and ran between the mountains and forests......
The glimmer of life that these Chu people managed to fight for with all their might was overturned in an instant when Huang Taiji turned over his hand!
"I've laid everything out."
He is truly the most powerful emperor in the world today......
but
The old times will always pass, and the new ones will always begin......
~~
"Dismount and chase!"
At this time, Ao Bai did not know that the direction of the new era was in his own hands.
But he was still holding a knife, staring at the figure in the mountains and forests that was hidden and sunk from time to time......
