Chapter 380: Saving the people from Dongyue Temple
Five ways out of the division, Zhu Xieyuan is under great pressure.
You must know that Yang Hao, who had previously defeated Salhu, was divided into five routes, and was defeated one by one by the Eight Banners Army led by Nurhachi, "I will only go all the way by relying on a few roads", which is Nurhachi's wise words during the battle of Salhu.
With this battle, the prestige of the Great Jin Khan Nurhachi reached the ears of the Wanli Emperor, and the Later Jin Dynasty could be regarded as truly gaining a foothold in Liaodong.
Until the moment of failure, the civil and military forces of the Wanli Dynasty couldn't believe that Jianzhou had become so big that it could not be cleaned up.
Five miles northwest of Liaoyang, at dusk.
Liaoyang is the first important town in Liaodong that the Ming Dynasty painstakingly operates, and the heavy troops are stationed all the year round, and the Dongyue Temple is being built here, and its scale is also the most prosperous.
Liaoyang Dongyue Temple, was built in Zhengde 11 years, the scale is large, the temple is built in the mountains, the forest road along the way is rugged, look at it from afar, the momentum is very magnificent.
This was originally a place to burn incense and worship Buddha, but now it is a forest of cloth sheds, and the displaced people are like clouds.
In the west of the fire, the Liao people who fled here are cooking in the pot, steaming, and the intersection of the copper spoon and the edge of the pot is clanging.
Due to the tension of the war, Xiong Tingbi ordered to hold on, and these Liao people who fled to Liaoyang could not enter the city, so they had to gather here to survive.
Hearing that peace was going to be made today, some people were happy and some people were dissatisfied, but there were more and more down-and-out Liao people gathered here.
"It's coming!"
"The Tartars' horse team is coming!"
"Didn't you make peace?"
"What kind of credibility will the barbarians tell you?"
Suddenly, to the north of the temple community, the sound of horses' hooves was everywhere, and under the smoke and dust, countless blue-faced and fanged sword-wielding Jurchen cavalry rushed out, shouting strangely.
The people who lived in Liao all the year round had long been persecuted by the barbarians, and they fled everywhere with their families and mouths, but the Ming troops in various places were too busy to take care of themselves, so how could they open the city and let them in without authorization.
When the Liao people saw that the Jurchen cavalry was chasing again, they all met the devil, you pushed me and hugged me, desperately squeezed into the temple, and there were people behind who clasped their palms and chanted the Buddha, praying for the blessing of the Buddha.
The monks in the temple were also afraid of the slave riders and killed them, so they didn't dare to mess with right and wrong, so they desperately resisted the Liao people in front of the door.
The crowd in the pushing room suddenly fell silent, but it was a baby who was left behind by his mother during the chaos.
Seeing that the Jurchen cavalry was about to arrive, a middle-aged man climbed high and shouted: "If you are bold, follow me back to save people!" ”
Behind the crowd there were several more men, none of whom had weapons in their hands, so they picked up the long poles and copper spoons on the ground and rushed to the death of the slaves.
"What a bunch of Nikans who are not afraid of death!"
Immediately, a Jurchen Niu Lu sneered when he saw this, waved his knife and said: "The Great Khan said, the contract is signed today, even if you want to leave, you have to let the Nikans know the strength of my Dajin warrior!" ”
"Kill them all, not a single one will be left!"
Not a single one to stay!
These four words are like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, falling on the sky above the Dongyue Temple and on the heads of tens of thousands of people.
The crowd fell silent suddenly, and then a commotion erupted, and the people panicked so much that they rushed into the monastery in such a way that even the monks could not stop it.
The Jurchen cavalry swept their swords and killed, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, and the corpses were scattered all over the ground in an instant.
The sound of cries, screams, the cries of babies, and the few voices of courageous resistance all converged in one place, drowning out the sound of chanting scriptures in Dongyue Temple.
It is clear that the Jurchens did not care about the Buddha of the Han Chinese.
The pure place of Buddhism has now become a purgatory on earth, with the Jurchens wielding butcher knives, and at the foot of the temple, blood flows like a river.
"Kill! Kill! ”
There was a loud shout, as if a muffled thunder had exploded.
Niu Lu was raising the butcher knife, his face was full of obscene smiles, and he was about to kill the terrified Han girl under the horse's hooves, but his face was stagnant, and a cluster of arrows suddenly appeared in his throat.
He turned in disbelief, only to see figures flying and swords shining above the plains behind him.
There was a "bang", and a lead bullet was shot onto the iron helmet of a Jurchen cavalryman beside him, bringing out a rush of blood.
The Jurchen cavalry turned their heads one after another, and at first glance they saw the "Da Ming" banner that was being raised by the pacesetters, and a Ming general with a helmet and armor was waving a saber and was the first to rush towards them.
Above the plains, there are Ming troops all over the mountains.
These Ming troops also wore the clothes and armor of the border army, but their spirit was completely different, and they were obviously not the Liao army they were used to.
Soon, the Jurchens realized that these Ming troops were the elite of the Seven Towns who had been transferred out of the customs and had been fighting for a long time.
But aren't they supposed to be withdrawing their troops, and the contract has already been signed, how dare they go out of the camp to fight the Dajin cavalry in the field?
is facing the front, is the first pioneer of Jizhou General Soldier Wang Wei.
The Jizhou army came out of the camp, according to Zhu Xieyuan's strategy of going out of the division on five roads, and rushed to Liaoyang non-stop, and the sentry saw a massacre going on in Dongyue Temple, so he did not hesitate to wave the army to come.
"Gala Ikori!"
Among the Jurchen cavalry, there were many incomprehensible shouts.
It didn't take long for the Jurchen cavalry to react, let go of the Liao people who were being pursued, and turned to charge the Ming army.
Wang Wei rushed to the front, and suddenly collided with the same Niu Lu.
The two horses intersected, and with a "whoosh", Niu Lu screamed and landed with the saber he was holding in his hand, and was trampled to death by the follow-up Ming cavalry.
This Ming army commander was so brave that the two Jurchen cavalrymen who rushed behind were shocked, and subconsciously pulled the reins, and the war horse raised its hooves and neighed, and was about to turn the horse's head.
Wang Wei came to them, and with a flash of his sword, he cut off the legs of their mounts, and then shouted: "Kill!" Jiannu is going to fail! ”
The war horse screamed twice and fell forward, throwing the Jurchen cavalry on its back to the ground.
The Liao people rushed to the scene, and you and I kicked them, and soon beat the two slaves to death.
The old slave rode a knife and scolded a few Jurchen words, and the Ming Kingdom obviously put them together, saying that they were withdrawing the army, but they attacked behind their backs.
The Ming army was strong, and the Jurchen cavalry exchanged a few words, and then they all fled back to the east.
Wang Wei was originally a pioneer, and he was ordered to go straight behind the enemy to attract the attention of the old slave, so he made a decision immediately and commanded the Jizhou military horses to chase after him.
......
Nurhachi signed a contract to send Choi Chengxiu away, and on the one hand, he ordered to gather a large army to return to the camp and withdraw the troops, so that Amin led 5,000 men and horses to Korea first.
On the other hand, he asked a small group of men and horses to fight grass valleys around Liaoyang City, since they had already called, how could they resist this loss if they didn't go back after a good raid.
Nurhachi had just eaten dinner and was waiting for the army to withdraw from camp.
The Houjin army was quite numerous, and even if there was a degree of order, it would take time to pack up and leave the camp, so Nurhachi had nothing to do, so he sat in the saddle of the open space and watched the sunset.
While smoking a cigarette pouch, he thought that when he returned to Liaoyang City, he didn't know how many cattle, sheep and supplies he could capture, and how much the Eight Banners military expenses could be worth.
Nurhachi quickly finished smoking a bag of cigarettes, and as soon as he filled the second bag, he saw smoke and dust rising from afar.
He stood up abruptly, frowned, and said:
"How did they come back so quickly?"
