Chapter 125: Combatable Side and (16)

Ma Gui and Gao Jue's surprise was not that Ma Fang sent troops to win the battle, but that the time was wrong.

According to the previous plan, Ma Fang's troops should have been sent a few hours later than their side: Ma Gui and they stole the camp in the early morning, while Ma Fang's side should have attacked in the afternoon.

The reason why the afternoon was chosen was because after launching a wave of offensive in the afternoon, Ma Fang could quickly withdraw, and by that time it was already evening, and even if Xin Ai successfully resisted the offensive of the Ming army, he would not be able to carry out an effective counterattack - after all, everyone was actually not good at night fighting.

This is a safe plan, in fact, it can be seen from this plan that Wang Chonggu, Fang Fengshi and Ma Fang are not too ambitious or greedy, their goal is very cautious and clear, that is, on the premise of trying to ensure that their own side does not have large casualties, give Xin Ai's troops a certain blow - the results of the battle do not need to be very large, as long as they are generally enough to claim their victory.

This goal is determined from the perspective of the current overall situation: the Ming Dynasty does not need to achieve any big victory at this moment, as long as it can firmly hold the border pass, and at the same time can properly counterattack, I can only be forced to change its original intention, and change the Hannaji incident from military threats or arson invasions to negotiations.

Of course, according to normal speaking, it is already great that Daming can do this - he has been pressed and beaten by others a few years ago, could it be that when he woke up from sleep, he replaced himself with others and beaten? At that time, you learned to teach the three-plate axe in the dream of the immortals?

But now, this defeated army is not too much, but it is said that it is a lot less, about 300 horses, which is obviously a lot more than the scout team, and less than a thousand horses, it can only be a defeated army and scattered the men and horses.

To the east of Zhenqiang Fort, there is only Xin Ai's department, which shows that Ma Fang attacked in advance and won.

Ma Gui suddenly shouted: "All get on the horse and prepare to meet the enemy!" "Let's turn over and get on the horse first, holding the knife in my hand - it's too late to reload the three-eyed gun at this time, and Gao Jue's performance of the three-eyed gun just now also made Ma Gui have little confidence in this batch of things, and the opposition to the other side is just a group of defeated soldiers, just use the knife directly.

The defeated army on the opposite side also realized that something was wrong at this time, and suddenly changed direction and began to turn north. They actually discovered that there were people in front of them earlier than Ma Gui and Gao Jue, but at this moment, the sky was just brightening, and they only saw about a thousand cavalry from a distance.

In their opinion, the Ming army should be in the pass at the moment, except for the team of the Ma Tai division yesterday afternoon, there should be no Ming cavalry outside the pass, after all, the cavalry of the Ming army was originally small, and when the Ma Tai division attacked the left wing army yesterday, there were more than 10,000 cavalry before and after, how could the Ming army still send so many cavalry outside the line of Zhenqiang Fort and Desheng Fort?

What's more, this is where the Great Khan's army is located, and the Ming army sent a thousand cavalry outside the pass, didn't it tell Huazi to take a bowl into the toilet - looking for death?

This group of defeated soldiers really did not expect that the Ming army would not dare to send more than 1,000 cavalry to dangle in front of the Chinese army, but if it was to concentrate the elite and quietly go out of the pass to sneak attack and then quickly withdraw, this courage is really there. After all, at this moment, although the Ming army was generally on the defensive against Mongolia, it had not yet reached the point where Hong Chengchou did not dare to fight with it at all after the defeat of Songjin.

Therefore, the misunderstanding arose - they thought that this cavalry was a soldier from Meda, so they rushed over to report the emergency, and it was not until they got close that they found that it was actually the cavalry of the Ming army.

This group of people had just suffered a defeat, and the army was not in order, and the fighting spirit was all about it, and many of them were still wounded, and the troops were also at a disadvantage, so they naturally did not dare to rush to kill them, so they had to temporarily change direction and continue to flee. They even had some rumors that they were all soldiers, wondering if the Chinese army had also suffered a defeat, otherwise how would the Ming cavalry dare to come to "encircle" themselves.

However, Ma Gui's side just now also withdrew from the Chinese army of Alda, and the will to fight was actually not very high, seeing that the team in front of him temporarily turned to flee, they followed the chase for a while, and after two waves of arrows were released indiscriminately, they stopped the pursuit, and turned back to Zhenqiang Fort to enter the customs and resume their lives.

But he said that I had just gone to visit the injured Chataiji at this time, and out of Chataiji's felt tent, the old Khan King with a sinking face returned to the sweat tent without saying a word, and was considering whether to launch a wave of offensive against Desheng Fort, so as not to embolden the Ming army. Unexpectedly, he had just sat down, took out the agate snuffbox, and was about to open it and take two puffs, when he heard a voice outside the tent shouting in a panic: "Great Khan, Great Khan is not good, Huang Taiji was attacked by the army of Matthew's division, suffered heavy losses, and the left-wing army was all scattered!" ”

Huang Taiji is Xin Ai, there is a saying in Mongolian "Taiji", which is derived from the Chinese word "prince", but it is actually equivalent to the prince and prince, just like "Saying Yue" always calls Wushu the fourth prince of the Jin Kingdom, which is such a premise, otherwise, according to the system of the Han people, there are no two days in the sky, there are no two kings in the people, and the prince is also a king, of course there is only one prince, how can there be any eldest prince, second prince, and third prince?

However, the difference between the "princes" in Mongolian is not so big, or the division is not so obvious, but the word "yellow" is added before the title of Taiji of the eldest son, yellow is the color of the emperor, and it has a special meaning when added in front. [Note: It may also be the reason for the transliteration, Huangtong "Huang". ]

Some officials may want to say, you are talking nonsense, otherwise why is the name of the eighth son of the wild boar skin and the later so-called Tiancong Khan called "Huang Taiji"?

The name Huang Taiji is magnificent, magnificent, and has an imperial atmosphere, but as we all know, it is actually another translation of Huang Taiji.

In fact, this is not a name, but a title, which is no different from Xin Ai's "Huang Taiji", and Huang Taiji should have another name.

Regarding the name of Huang Taiji himself, there are several theories in the historical circles, one says that it is called Abahai (also known as A Bohai), and the other says that it is called Hei Huan Bolie.

Abakhai's theory originated from the Russian sinologist G.V. Gorsky, who may have misunderstood the era name of Huang Taiji, Abkai sure, as a name, which is really not very reliable, so I won't say much.

Hei Huan Bo Lie is closer to the original historical appearance, because "Hei Huan" is the Chinese pronunciation of the word "Huang", and "Bo Lie" is the meaning of "blue wolf" in Mongolian.

According to Mr. Jin Qicong, an expert in Jurchen, Manchu and Mongolian studies, the original meaning of Nurhachi's Manchu is "wild boar skin", Shulhaqi is "little wild boar skin", Yarhaqi is "leopard skin", and Dolgon is "badger", so it is most reasonable for Huang Taiji's original name to be "blue wolf".

At this moment, I was surprised when I heard this shout outside, stood up and shouted, "Who is it? Come in and talk! ”
